Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 255 The Battle of Xiaowutai Mountain (1)

Under the sun, the afternoon breeze blew Tang Qiuli's cloak, like slightly opened wings, as if he was about to fly to the sky at any time. Looking at the deputy commander standing on the hillside with his hands behind his back, the sunlight reflected on his body.

A dazzling halo of light is emitted, almost giving people hallucinations. Is he the God of War coming from under the blue sky?

Perhaps infected by some kind of emotion, without anyone organizing it, all the soldiers of the 29th Army Cavalry Brigade and the cavalry of the ** Division, with battalions and companies as units, consciously formed a horizontal line. Under the brigade commander's order,

Holding a saber with the blade erect in front of his eyes, he paid the highest courtesy of the cavalry to the deputy commander who led them to victory. In Tang Qiuli's eyes, a forest of snow-white swords stood up on the green grass and under the sun.

An emotion surged in his heart, and he was moved by these lovely warriors. He knew that from now on, as long as he gave an order, these warriors would charge into battle without hesitation, even in the face of mountains of swords, seas of fire, and hail of bullets.

He could only do his best to plan every battle so that the lives of these young soldiers could be protected to the maximum extent. This was his responsibility and a mission. Tang Qiuli solemnly returned a military salute to the soldiers.

,Such a warrior deserves respect.

The few dozen remaining bandit prisoners were escorted in front of Tang Qiuli. They were the only few remaining members of the Wang Ying gang that was running rampant for a while. They witnessed the destruction of this criminal gang.

These guys saw the opportunity early and saw that something was wrong. They knelt down early, raised their guns with both hands, and waited to be captured. The cavalry's sabers passed over their heads with the sound of wind, and the vigorous war horses came from behind.

The thunderous sound of horses' hooves flew past them, completely engulfing them.

These bandits were so frightened that they were in a semi-conscious state. They closed their eyes tightly and left their lives to God. When they opened their eyes, they saw the corpses of their accomplices scattered all over the place. They secretly rejoiced that they were still smart.

Tang Qiuli briefly interrogated him. Based on his two lifetime experiences, he could see through the inner world of these captured bandits through their eyes. These bandits should have joined the Wang Ying gang not long ago, and they still have inner feelings.

The human nature remains.

Tang Qiuli was not a murderous person. He was interested in all Wang Ying's belongings. Wang Ying had been a bandit for many years and had done all kinds of plunder, so his family wealth was indispensable. According to the account of the captured bandit, this time

In order to get more benefits, Wang Ying went out with all his troops, leaving only his most trusted master and more than thirty old, weak, sick and disabled bandits in his lair.

Tang Qiuli's eyes glowed green, and all the soldiers of the Army Division knew that once they saw their commander's expression, they knew there was a huge benefit waiting for us to get it.

A cavalry company commander came over, and Tang Qiuli nodded slightly towards him. The company commander understood what he understood, and escorted more than a dozen prisoners with his own company without disturbing the cavalry brigade of the 29th Army, quietly making a fortune.

Go, sometimes it is better not to tell the truth about this kind of thing. The remaining bandit prisoners should collect the guns and ammunition of the bandits and the Japanese army on the battlefield, educate them, and then release them all.

At this point, the task of annihilating Wang Ying's bandit gang has been successfully completed. He is waiting for good news from the Chief of Staff of the 29th Army Cavalry Brigade who is responsible for annihilating the bandit cavalry in the Haituozi Mountain area. Tang Qiuli is not worried about that battlefield. If it is there,

Under such circumstances, if the battle was not fought cleanly, his chief of staff would have wasted his service.

After the battle, the troops withdrew from the battlefield in the afternoon and crossed the Yanghe River. In the evening, they rested in the Dongnuanquan area near Xinbaoan. On the one hand, they were waiting for the return of the cavalry from the combat mission in the Daituozi Mountains, mainly in the Xiaowutai Mountains.

When the battle was going on, the Japs near Beiping sent troops to reinforce them. Now, they only had this mobile force in their hands around Beiping.

The soldiers of the cavalry brigade were surprised by the good and complete logistical support of the ** Division. After the fierce battle, they could have such good food conditions in a temporary resting place without disturbing the residents.

In the eyes of the officers and soldiers of the 29th Army Cavalry Brigade, it was simply incredible.

The local residents were also surprised. Military disasters and banditry have always been the most terrifying disasters for ordinary people. Since the troops stationed in this area, the local people have been in panic all day long. There are older girls and younger wives.

People closed their doors early and listened uneasily to every small sound on the street. Some old ladies knelt devoutly in front of Guanyin Bodhisattva, burned incense and kowtowed, praying for the safety of their families.

In the middle of the night, they didn't hear the frightening banging on the door. Could it be that these Qiu Ba had changed their minds? These common people recognized the military uniforms of the 29th Army. After all, they were the troops stationed in the local area. In addition, the military discipline of the 29th Army was

Relatively speaking, it is still very strict. There are very few incidents that harass the people, and the residents are not very afraid.

But the ** division is different. Their uniforms are the style of the Central Army. What left the deepest impression on them was that during the Central Plains War in the 11th year of the Republic of China, the Central Army also visited this area, like locusts.

After crossing the border, almost nothing was left, and it was not until five or six years later that the local area regained its former vitality.

Tang Qiuli didn't know that the thoughts of these ordinary people and his thoughts were completely focused on the upcoming battle of Xiaowutai Mountain. As for the work for the masses, he had his own dedicated department responsible for it.

In the ** division, there are other institutions that the Central Army does not have, such as the pro-democracy sections and pro-democracy offices set up in each regiment and brigade, which are specifically responsible for doing mass work. This is why Tang Qiuli adopted Li Honggang's suggestion and referred to **

The army's approach was to set up departments after arriving in North China to lay the foundation for future base areas, and all positions were held by Communist Party members at all levels. Others really couldn't do it.

Tang Qiuli knew how powerful these Communist Party members were. As long as these people went to the village, within a few days, almost everyone in the village would be as close to the troops as if they were a family. This was how the Communist Party achieved its final victory.

Victory, in the future battles behind enemy lines in North China, the seeds sown by the democratic movement department will become a fertile soil.

Tang Qiuli reported to all the troops the news of the complete annihilation of the Wang Ying gang. The escort troops could relieve their worries and fully deal with Badalhu's frontal attack. The escorted weapons and ammunition were now approaching the preset battlefield of Xiaowutai Mountain. The troops responsible for the step-by-step interception

The troops still had fierce battles with Badalhu's chasing bandits, and the bandits launched a fierce offensive.

Liu Tiehan was still leading the outflanking troops on his left and right wings, trekking arduously through the mountains of North China. It was expected that all the troops would arrive at the designated position at about 6 o'clock tomorrow morning. Tang Qiuli could fully imagine that the tens of thousands of troops on both sides were

Under what conditions can we arrive at the designated location nearly four to five hours in advance?

He then called Zhao Dengyu's brigade of the 29th Army, which was responsible for receiving weapons and ammunition. Zhao Dengyu called back, "Deputy Commander, our unit is close to the scheduled rendezvous point and is progressing smoothly along the way. It is estimated that we will reach the designated location in more than three hours.

, Deputy Commander, please rest assured that all officers and soldiers of our brigade will resolutely complete the mission!"

It was now around ten o'clock in the evening. Tang Qiuli looked at his watch. Zhao Dengyu's brigade could reach the meeting point before two o'clock in the morning. Liu Tiehan's left and right flank troops would reach the designated position at six o'clock in the morning.

This means that there is still four hours of space in between. This is also the time to test the escort troops. They will face the crazy attack of the bandits whose strength far exceeds theirs. There is also a regiment of Japanese troops among them. This Japanese army,

It should not be underestimated that within four to five days, the first brigade will be under tremendous pressure.

He ordered that a telegram be sent immediately to Feng Jiwu and Li Honggang, urging the troops escorting weapons and ammunition to speed up their march and to arrive at the designated handover location before two o'clock tomorrow morning to meet up with Zhao Dengyu's troops.

After handing over the weapons and ammunition, the 1st Brigade mobilized the forces of four regiments at the same time to launch a full-line blockade. They must firmly attract the Badalhu Japanese army and bandit troops to the preset battlefield in the Xiaowutai Mountains.

The rest of the escort troops, Tang Qiuquan's 1st and 2nd Brigade of the Special Detachment, and Liu Chun's 1st Brigade and 1st Cavalry Regiment, respectively served as the left and right wing guards of the blocking force, preventing Badalhu from dividing his troops and outflanking the two wings of the blocking force.

**The 1st Brigade and other units must, at all costs, firmly block the Japanese army and bandit troops in the Xiaowutai Mountains. The front line of the battlefield is preset for five hours to gain time for the two wings to outflank the troops and arrive and deploy smoothly.

Following the bandit armed forces, the 1st and 2nd Cavalry Brigades, Liu Chun, Tong Batu's Department, and Huangyadong Guard Brigade Jiang Yanming's Department will launch an all-out attack on the bandit troops' rearguard starting from 2:30 tomorrow morning.

To reduce the pressure on Li Honggang's unit of the 1st Cavalry Brigade, which is responsible for the frontal blockade, Liu Chun, the major general of the 1st Cavalry Brigade, will be fully responsible for this attack, and the other two units should fully cooperate.

The battle deployment has been completed. Now, the most critical thing is Liu Tiehan's troops. As long as they reach the designated position, Badalhu's more than 3,000 Japanese soldiers and more than 20,000 bandits will be unable to escape.

I hope that the bandit leader Wang Ying did not send an emergency telegram to Badalhu before he died. Otherwise, with Badalhu's cunning and cunning, it will not be difficult to judge the situation. In these more than four hours, he can calmly arrange and arrange the situation.

All armed, evacuated from the battlefield, and disengaged from the Japanese divisions, these bandits returned to the mountains and forests.

Li Honggang's sole brigade and the troops following the bandits are not enough to fight an encirclement and annihilation war. Otherwise, the dumpling fillings will burst the dumpling wrappers, and the bandits who were beaten and lost will use this kind of hatred.

, are all recorded on the head of the *** teacher, and minor troubles in the future will be inevitable.

Only more than twenty hours have passed since the beginning of the exchange of fire with the escort troops of the ** Division, but Badalhu feels like more than 20 years. What worries him most is time. The ** Division still has nearly five years left.

With more than 10,000 troops, that insidious and ruthless ** division commander Tang Qiuli could not just sit back and watch the loss of these weapons and ammunition.

However, until now, except for the thousands of ** Division troops that are clinging to their backs, they have not found any trace of the ** Division troops that they are most worried about. This work is recommended by registered members of Piaotian Literature
