Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 231 Accident

Seeing Kenjiro Kobayashi's stumbling back gradually disappearing, Song Zheyuan laughed heartily. He remembered that he hadn't been so happy for a long time. He gave a thumbs up to Tang Qiuli and said: "Mr. Tang, you really are the one who caught them."

, asking for their money and making them dare not say a few more words, okay! Song was so impressed that he was so impressed!"

Song Zheyuan's eyes were filled with admiration for his tough attitude in front of the Japanese. This young Commander Tang's tough attitude in front of the Japanese will definitely become a decisive figure in North China. The future and destiny of the 29th Army, he said.

You may be associated with him, but you should get closer to him.

Later, he told Tang Qiuli with concern that the Japanese had many spies in Peiping, so he should be more careful in public places in the future. The Japanese can do anything. They are worried about shooting you behind your back!

Tang Qiuli laughed loudly, Commander, I wish the Japanese would do this, so that I can conduct a large-scale raid in Peking and catch all the lurking Japanese spies. We can eliminate these scourges as soon as possible and make the Japanese troops outside Peking city deaf and blind.

It also saves me from thinking about it every day.

Song Zheyuan really couldn't believe Tang Qiuli's confidence and courage. Nothing was a problem in front of him, and he would handle everything in his own favor. He was a man who did great things.

He ordered the communications staff to immediately ask all officers above the level of commanders of each unit to attend an emergency military meeting at the military headquarters.

A few hours later, the rapid sound of horse hooves was heard outside the military headquarters, and batches of officers in military uniforms arrived one after another. All the officers of the 29th Army were present.

At the meeting, Song Zheyuan first introduced Tang Qiuli to everyone. There was a commotion among the officers below, and they began to whisper to each other. Although it was the first time for this young lieutenant general who had been in the limelight recently and became famous far and wide, to Tang Qiuli.

Qiu Li was no stranger. His record in fighting the Japanese in the Northeast had been spread since he arrived in North China.

Especially in the battle between Jinzhou and Huludao, more than 20,000 Japs were wiped out and the city of Jinzhou was recovered. Even without that general's troops, they could kill so many Japs. It was really a relief for any officer with a bloody spirit and a sense of military honor.

, are full of respect for the troops and the commanders of these troops who can attack the invaders. For real soldiers, their greatest happiness is to be able to fight bravely on the battlefield to kill the enemy.

These officers were even more excited about the security team that eliminated Yin Rugeng. They had long disliked the big traitor. However, due to the orders from above, they could only grit their teeth in anger and hold back a ball of fire in their hearts. Finally, someone took their place.

They breathed out such bad breath, and the person who created this series of legends was right in front of them. These officers looked at Tang Qiuli eagerly.

At the meeting, Song Zheyuan mainly learned about the trends of the Japanese and puppet troops in various places. The officers who had rushed back from the front line were all suffocating when he mentioned the words of anger.

anger.

When he heard Song Zheyuan call him Ji Xingwen, Tang Qiuli was excited. This was Ji Xingwen who fired the first shot of the all-out war of resistance. His troops were stationed in Wanping County, southwest of Beiping. It was during the July 7th Incident that he

occurred in the jurisdiction.

This is a national hero. He and his troops will always be remembered by later generations. Unfortunately, except for the gunshot on the night of the July 7th Incident, there were few achievements during the eight-year Anti-Japanese War because they were not direct troops.

Being squeezed out by the Huangpu clique, by the end of the Anti-Japanese War, Ji Xingwen was just a division commander of a miscellaneous army.

As war smoke spread across the land of China, the entire nation entered the battlefield of a desperate battle with the Japanese pirates. The sound of gunfire outside Wanping City gradually faded away and was submerged in the dust of history.

Later, Ji Xingwen retreated to Taiwan Island with the defeat of the Communist Party. When it was time to appoint people, the Chairman of the General Assembly recognized his contribution during the Anti-Japanese War and re-enabled him. He was assigned a deputy defense officer on Kinmen Island, which is very close to the main road.

The sinecure of the commander, as the deputy of General Hu Lian.

During his tenure as Deputy Commander of Kinmen Defense, from August to October 1958, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party broke out in an artillery battle that attracted world attention, known historically as the "Eighth, Twenty-Third Artillery Battle." A PLA artillery shell hit the Kuomintang defenders of Kinmen.

Headquarters, its deputy commander was killed on the spot and no bones were left. This person was none other than General Ji Xingwen, who was fifty-one years old at the time.

It was a tragedy for him personally that the national leader of that time should die like this forever. A generation of anti-Japanese heroes died on the battlefield of the civil war. It is sad to think about it, and I can't help but sigh.

At this time, Ji Xingwen was in his prime, with a handsome and elegant face, quite like a teacher. Tang Qiuli looked at him, maybe he could change his destiny more than ten years later.

Jixing Wenhui reported that the Japanese have recently stepped up their provocations and held various military exercises under Wanping City and in the suburbs almost every day. Seeing the little devil's rampant arrogance, I wanted to give him a machine gun blow.

After saying that, he sat down bitterly. Because of his excitement, his fair face was flushed. It was obvious that he suppressed the anger in his heart.

Song Zheyuan once again sternly warned all officers not to act without authorization or stir up trouble. Tolerance and concession should be the fundamental principles for Japanese provocations. Violators will be prosecuted under military law and will not be tolerated.

It can be seen that the officers present here are all hard-blooded men. They are very dissatisfied with the commander's requirements and their indignation is palpable.

In fact, how many of them can understand Song Zheyuan's difficulties and painstaking efforts, but Tang Qiuli deeply understands Song Zheyuan's choice and understands his situation. If Song Zheyuan knew that Tang Qiu, who was not yet twenty years old this year,

Li is his current confidant. While he was moved to tears, he couldn't help but exclaim again and again that this person is the reincarnation of a goblin!

The remaining frontline commanders all reported the movements of the Japanese and puppet troops within their respective defense areas. In the northwest, the traitors and bandits Li Shouxin and Wang Ying who were bribed by the Japanese suddenly advanced their positions towards us in recent days.

Three kilometers, and also organized several small-scale attacks, but they were all repelled by our army.

All the troops stationed on the outskirts of Peiping encountered such situations and strictly abided by the orders of the military headquarters and did not take drastic measures.

After everyone reported, Tang Qiuli had a thorough understanding of the enemy situation around Pingjin. The little Japanese couldn't hold himself back anymore and began to test the defense situation of the Chinese team, as well as the combat effectiveness level and the quality of the soldiers.

When the meeting was about to end, Song Zheyuan suddenly took Tang Qiuli's hand, stood up, and announced a decision that surprised everyone.

"Now, I announce that the commander of the North China ** Division, Lieutenant General Tang Qiuli, will concurrently serve as the deputy commander of the 29th Army of the National Revolutionary Army. He will be officially appointed after being reported to the Ministry of Military Affairs!" Tang Qiuli felt that Song Zheyuan was pulling

His hand was shaking slightly, obviously trying to control his excitement.

Song Zheyuan didn't say anything to him beforehand. Now, he was very passive. The officers below also showed shocked expressions. Several of Song Zheyuan's close officers seemed to be very dissatisfied. They seemed to think that this was Tang Qiuli's use to get to the top.

The order came to force the commander to do this. The eyes he looked at were full of hostility.

"When I am absent or unable to perform my duties as commander due to unexpected reasons, the 29th Army must obey unconditionally. Deputy Commander Tang's orders are just like orders given by me personally. There must be no objections. If there is any disobedience, I will deal with it myself."

!”

The officers below were all silent. This decision was too sudden. No one was prepared. They were confused. What happened to the old commander? Could it be related to Deputy Commander Tang?

Tang Qiuli understood the deeper meaning from Song Zheyuan's decision. He was entrusting the future destiny of the 29th Army to himself. As a veteran professional soldier, Song Zheyuan clearly knew that China and Japan

The battle is inevitable, but the timing cannot be predicted sooner or later.

With the equipment and strength of the 29th Army, as well as the terrain at an absolute disadvantage, once a war breaks out, the lives and wealth of tens of thousands of brothers will inevitably be difficult to protect. It is only a matter of how many days they can sustain it. If there is no foreign aid, what awaits the tens of thousands of officers and soldiers of the 29th Army?

Destiny is to annihilate the entire army.

It was precisely because he saw this that he did not want to destroy the team in his own hands, so he entrusted the team he had started with to find a way out for the brothers who had followed him for many years.

In Tang Qiuli's heart, a warm current surged through his body, and he was even more moved. He believed in himself less than a day after knowing each other, and trusted him with his wealth and life. This was a huge trust. The powerful sect in that place would not trust his team.

Considered as lifeblood.

After Song Zheyuan finished speaking, he fell heavily on the chair, his back straight, and the aura of an iron-blooded soldier rose up. Only the careful Tang Qiuli saw the faint tears in his eyes, and in his heart

, is a feeling of deep helplessness and desolation. Perhaps, he thinks that his own era has passed.

No longer able to support such a heavy burden, he gave an explanation to himself and his subordinates. Facing the Japanese with tigers and wolves, he felt deeply powerless. Facing the complicated political situation and military situation in North China, he was exhausted mentally and deeply, and analyzed deeper.

Isn't this a kind of relief, detached from other things, far away from the whirlpool of struggle, and implicitly meant to avoid disaster.

People are all complicated. Tang Qiuli understands Song Zheyuan's good intentions in doing this. We are all mortals, why should we use the standards of saints to demand others?

If nothing else goes wrong, after he takes up the post of Vice Chairman of the Hebei-Cha Government Affairs Committee, Mr. Song will announce that because he is unwell, he needs to go to Nanjing or Shanghai for treatment. All military and political affairs in North China will be closed.

Entrust yourself with full authority to handle it.

However, Tang Qiuli felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He didn't like to have his fate and future direction arranged by others. In his heart, he had always been the master of his own soul, completely in control of his own destiny, and could not even influence or control other people.

Being pushed to the front desk passively like this was the first time in the past few years that he had traveled across time that he encountered someone who was accustomed to controlling other people's thoughts and destinies.

For people who are suddenly controlled by others, this is not a simple role change, but a psychological subversion. It takes time to slowly adapt or get used to it.
