Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 233: The Commander of the Guard

Chapter 233: Guard Commander

All the senior officers, after saluting Tang Qiuli in turn, sat quietly on their chairs and looked at him, with gratitude and admiration in their eyes. This young lieutenant general was as bright as the sun, giving them a spring breeze.

feeling.

Being accustomed to seeing the faces of the central officials, spending a short time with Tang Qiuli could relax them and gain them a lot. Especially when they heard about his method of dealing with the Japanese consul, these officers wanted to

I couldn't help but smile when I got up.

If you follow a leader like this, you will never be angry with a kid again. For this reason alone, you are worthy of everyone's trust and respect.

Under everyone's eager gaze, Tang Qiuli smiled as brightly as the sun. This smile blew through their hearts like the spring breeze.

"Commanders, Qiu Li knows that the equipment level of our troops is relatively low. Many soldiers still use rifles made in the late Qing Dynasty. Some troops are even not equipped with rifles. They can only use broadswords. This is also true.

It has tempered the brave spirit of the soldiers!"

This is Tang Qiuli's true words, and there is absolutely no sarcasm in them. The troops who can use cold weapons like swords and dare to risk their lives against the Japanese have a spirit of not being afraid of death, and twenty-nine

The Army's Swordsman Team has indeed made the little devils famous and their faces changed.

The famous "March of the Broadsword" on the anti-Japanese battlefield is based on the Broadsword Team of the 29th Army. Whenever he hears the song "The Broadsword is slashing on the heads of the Japanese," Tang Qiuli has a feeling.

A different feeling of blood boiling.

For such troops and soldiers, no one has the right to mock or despise them. Any disrespect at all is a blasphemy against the heroic spirit of the Anti-Japanese War. In Tang Qiuli's heart, there is only respect! High respect!

Hearing such words, the officers present all lowered their heads in shame. What Tang Qiuli said is the truth. These officers can only blame themselves for their miserable lives. Who knows that we are not the direct troops of the Chairman, and the equipment and supplies have never been ours?

Share!

Not to mention you, the *** Division, are the new darlings of Nanjing. As soon as they arrived in North China, they all changed their uniforms. The 29th Army picked up the rags you threw away and treated them like treasures. These officers who lead the troops in the war

I can't help but feel a little sour in my heart.

To be fair, the equipment replaced by the ** division is all very good, but the soldiers are not used to certain types of Japanese equipment, such as light machine guns, which are not as easy to use as the Czech type. The troops are in the Northeast, and small

After fighting against the Japanese for more than four years, can the Japanese-style equipment be any different?

Based on these factors, Tang Qiuli wanted to change this situation. The spirit of the broadsword would be preserved forever, but the warriors who used the broadsword could no longer face the enemy's bullets. In that case, Tang Qiuli's heart would bleed.

"However, we cannot let the flesh and blood of our soldiers face the bullets of the Japanese invaders. The Japanese Army still has some idle equipment, which can be provided to the troops of our 29th Army for free. If you don't mind it, we will do it in the near future.

If it can be transported to Peiping, it will be equipped to the troops as soon as possible."

After Tang Qiuli finished speaking, he looked at everyone with a smile, without any intention of giving charity.

All the officers, including Song Zheyuan, were stunned with shock. Everything that happened today gave them too much impact. First, Tang Qiuli was suddenly appointed as deputy commander, and then he refused to allow the troops of the Army Division to enter the north.

Pinghe and Tianjin, two fertile places, are now providing equipment to the 29th Army for free.

You must know that the 29th Army has nothing to do with him, and he is not even a friend. After all, he has just met. What's more, when the ** Division changed its uniform in Zhuozhou last time, it had already left a lot for the 29th Army.

The officers' heads were a little hard to turn around. Guns have always been the lifeblood of every army. Who is willing to give them to others? General Tang, what kind of saint are you? Why are you so righteous?

Seeing these officers like this, Tang Qiuli knew that the impact on them was too great, so he had to ask: "Do you have any opinions?"

These officers, just like waking up from a dream, repeatedly expressed their agreement to this good thing and that objection, they are not fools and idiots!

Tang Qiuli turned to Zhao Yuhe and said: "Director Zhao, please report the list of equipment that the ** division can bring out to everyone here!"

Zhao Yuhe had received the order from the division commander before he came to Peiping. He was well prepared. He stood up and won a burst of admiration from everyone. Commander Tang's men were all young and handsome officers. This director Zhao was even older.

If you are no more than twenty-five years old, you will have the rank of colonel. In the 29th Army, at this age, it is very outstanding to be a captain.

Zhao Yuhe stood at attention and saluted, neatly and neatly, with graceful and beautiful movements, which made all the officers happy to see him.

"Reporting to the division commander, the current number of idle equipment in the ** Division is as follows: 17,000 Type 38 rifles, 480 crooked light machine guns, 190 Type 92 heavy machine guns, and six

Zero mortars, one hundred and twenty, Type 92 infantry guns, eighty, seventy-five millimeter mountain guns, sixty, in addition, various types of bullets, shells totaling two million rounds, Japanese style

Grenades, six thousand, report completed!"

The officers of the 29th Army were completely shocked. What does it mean to be rich and powerful? What does it mean to have a great family? Look at them. They are equipped with more than 80,000 troops and there are so many idle. Those artillery pieces alone are enough to establish the 29th Army.

More than one artillery brigade!

These officers all felt a little ashamed of their narrow-minded thinking just now. They don't need anything. They are not here to grab territory. They are sincerely fighting the Japanese and helping our 29th Army.

In front of these officers, Tang Qiuli dictated the order to Zhao Yuhe: "Immediately send a telegram to Director Zhang of the Logistics Department. First, take out two-thirds of all idle equipment and all idle ammunition.

Transport it to Peiping as quickly as possible. Second, the logistics department is ordered to deliver this batch of equipment and ammunition within fifteen days."

"Send a telegram to Deputy Commander Liu. The transport team needs heavy escort. Li Honggang's sole brigade, Tang Qiuquan's first and second brigade of the special detachment, and Liu Chun's first and second cavalry regiments are ordered to escort the transport team to Peking. The chief of staff will

Feng Jiwu leads the team."

Tang Qiuli had his own considerations. It was inevitable to start a full-scale war with the Japs. The Army Division and the 29th Army would face hundreds of thousands of well-equipped and vicious enemies. The strength of the Army Division alone would be very difficult.

, with the help of the 29th Army, the chance of winning will be greater. Helping the 29th Army is helping yourself.

It is a pity that during the eight years of the War of Resistance, many top generals did not understand this and did not understand the principle of losing their lips and teeth. They blindly conserved their strength and sat back and watched their friendly forces be wiped out or exhausted. Especially the performance of miscellaneous armies and local powerful factions was the worst.

What's more, they were defeated one by one by the Japanese army. This was also the result of the Chairman's strategy of killing with a borrowed knife.

At this point, Tang Qiuli admired the Japanese very much. When one of them was attacked, the rest of the troops swarmed in desperately to save them, without any attempt to conserve their strength.

Therefore, on Chinese soil, the Japs can control a large area by building a gun tower as big as a pigsty. The lack of heavy weapons for the Chinese army to attack difficult targets is one factor, but the decisive factor is the Japanese army.

A sense of totality and a spirit of desperate rescue.

Zhao Yuhe went out to send a telegram. These officers were so happy that they were talking nonsense. With these equipment, the strength of the 29th Army will undergo a qualitative change, especially Deputy Commander Tang, who is equipped with so many

Ammo, I really want to have a fight with the little devil right now.

Song Zheyuan was so excited that tears filled his eyes. He held Tang Qiuli's hand and nodded repeatedly, but couldn't say a word. He really didn't know how to express his current mood. Thank you. That was just a courtesy. To the 29th Army

Thank you for your help, because with the arrival of this young man, the fate of the 29th Army and myself will fundamentally change.

Since Yu Xuezhong was transferred from the Ministry, he has been like a lonely night traveler in a night surrounded by tigers and wolves. He is trembling with every step and is on guard, not daring to relax at all, which makes him physically and mentally exhausted. Now, the master is here.

Tang Qiuli is here, and everything will change!

He loudly asked these extremely excited officers to be quiet, and announced another appointment: "Deputy Commander of the 29th Army, Commander of the ** Division, Lieutenant General Tang Qiuli, will serve as Commander-in-Chief of the Pingjin Garrison Command.

The former garrison commander Song Zheyuan no longer holds this position and will serve as commander of the 29th Army and chairman of the Hebei-Cha Government Affairs Committee."

Because this is a matter within his scope of authority, he does not need to submit it to the Nanjing government and the Military Commission for approval. He can appoint it directly.

This time, all the officers did not express any objection and expressed their welcome to Tang Qiuli for assuming this position with warm applause. The enthusiasm was completely out of sincerity. To deal with the Japanese, it would take someone like Deputy Commander Tang.

Others really have no choice.

It was another surprise for Tang Qiuli. Today, Tang Qiuli was no less surprised than the officers of the 29th Army. The Pingjin Garrison Commander was an important position and had complete control over the military defense and social security in the Pingjin area.

Under the current situation, it is definitely a department with real power.

This means that, besides Song Zheyuan, he is the second-largest figure in Pingjin and even North China, and he is an absolutely powerful person. He sits in this position. I don’t know what the Japanese will think.

It was inevitable to put pressure on Song Zheyuan and demand his removal out of deep hatred. After all, it would be absolutely disadvantageous for the Japanese to sit in this position.

I don’t know what the chairman of the Nanjing Committee would think. I feel uncomfortable and even suspicious. That’s for sure. The old man is a suspicious person to begin with. He doesn’t think that he has completely fallen into the arms of Song Zheyuan, right?

The Japanese didn't care about him. They didn't want the Japanese to occupy North China comfortably. Old man, they should be more careful and don't let He Yingqin and his ilk get in the way behind his back. By the end of the year, when the Xi'an Incident broke out, everything would be clear.

No matter how you treat Japan, there will be no trouble from within.

Song Zheyuan announced the last decision. In order to welcome Deputy Commander Tang to Peiping to take up his duties, a grand welcome reception will be held at the Yanjing Hotel at seven o'clock tonight. Celebrities from all walks of life in Peking and Tianjin will attend!
