Age of Conquest Reborn

Knowing that Tang Qiuli had important things to do at hand, she might have to stay up late. Mei Ting, who felt sorry for her husband, cooked the food herself, and with the help of Mei Xue and Liu Xinlan, she made some midnight snacks. After finishing cooking, Mei Ting and Mei Xue

, I also had some things to deal with that I had assigned myself, and the task of delivering late night snacks naturally fell to Liu Xinlan, who had nothing to do today.

Delivering supper to Tang Qiuli, whoever of the three women had time would do it. It was also a good time to spend time with their men after arriving in the Northeast, amid the busy schedule of military affairs. Of course, Mei Ting and Mei Xue, Da

Most of them cleverly gave this opportunity to Liu Xinlan. Liu Xinlan was also happy to take advantage of the opportunity of sending late-night snacks to be alone in a room with Tang Qiuli, enjoying the warmth and satisfaction, and feeling happy in her heart.

It was the same today. Liu Xinlan was humming a song in a happy mood, carrying midnight snacks on a tray, and walked briskly to Tang Qiuli's house. Just as she was about to knock on the door, she heard the sob-like chanting in a soft tone.

She was in pain, and for a moment, her heart felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and her whole body froze.

After more than two years of getting along, Liu Xinlan knew almost everything about this man's inner world. He knew that the man in pain in the room, for whom this sad poem was being recited, was the man he had never met before, but was with.

The girl he kept letting go of, Tang Qiuli's first love "qingren", the beautiful life that disappeared deep in the northeastern jungle - and his and her flesh and blood.

At this moment, Liu Xinlan felt an indescribable feeling in her heart, but it was not loss and pain. Liu Xinlan had already accepted the reality of overlapping with the girl in Tang Qiuli's heart. The trouble and pain in her heart began as early as last year's Spring Festival.

It was resolved in Dingbian, and I accepted this unforgettable relationship like a butterfly emerging from a cocoon.

In Liu Xinlan's heart, she could only regret that her beloved man was in such pain. She calmed down, a gentle smile bloomed at the corner of her mouth, raised her hand to knock on the door, "Bang, bang, bang!" while shouting softly. "Qiu Li."

, I’ve got a midnight snack for you!”

Tang Qiuli, who was immersed in boundless memories and pain, was awakened from his dreamlike fantasy by a knock on the door. He also heard Liu Xinlan's voice and returned to the real world in an instant. Only then did he realize that his face was full of tears.

He hurriedly wiped it a few times and tried his best to put on his usual gentle smile, "Come in, Xinlan!"

Liu Xinlan came in with a smile and seemed not to notice anything unusual about Tang Qiuli. She put the midnight snack on the table. While she was busy taking out the bowls and chopsticks, she seemed to be nagging like a spoiled little daughter-in-law: "Originally,

Today, Sister Ting, Sister Xue and I have everything to do

It's quite a lot, but Sister Ting said that you have to stay up late again. I was worried that you would be hungry in the middle of the night and it would be bad for your health. So I hurriedly made something for you. Humph, I had to let me deliver it to you. Sister Ting was right.

, you are so lucky, the three of us take turns to serve you!"

Normally, Liu Xinlan would not talk in a decent manner. At most, she would sit quietly and watch the man wolfing down the food. Then, she would smile sweetly, and would be teased by Tang Qiuli a few times, which would make her face flush. But today,

Tang Qiuli, who had been shaken just now, also didn't notice Liu Xinlan's abnormality. When he heard her casual words, he felt very friendly and had no intention of making fun of her.

For some reason, when he saw the busy Liu Xinlan, her plump and slender back overlapped with the figure in his memory just now, Tang Qiuli had a strong urge to hug her. He walked behind her and hugged her.

Liu Xinlan's slender waist seemed to be hugging the most precious things in life. Her head was pressed against her long, ink-like hair, and she remained silent for a long time.

Liu Xinlan's delicate body trembled slightly, and she moved closer to the man's generous chest. She leaned her head on his shoulder and closed her beautiful big eyes slightly. The expression on her face could not tell whether it was happiness or sadness, or distress and loss. It was just

I felt so peaceful leaning in this man's arms.

The two of them just cuddled together, swaying the candlelight and overlapping their shadows on the window. I don’t know how long it took, it seemed very long and it seemed very short. Liu Xinlan chuckled: "My waist is almost broken by your arms, and again

You won’t be able to see me for a long time, so eat quickly, it will get cold in a while!”

Tang Qiuli gave a self-conscious smile and said nothing. He let go of Liu Xinlan and felt much calmer. His emotions like a whirlpool calmed down and he felt peaceful. He picked up the supper and ate it with big mouthfuls. Liu Xinlan was still as happy as ever.

She looked at him with a calm smile, but there was a lot of meaning and maturity in her eyes that she didn't usually have.

As before, Liu Xinlan cleared away the dishes, gave Tang Qiuli a cup of hot tea, gave a few careful words, and then left. Before leaving the room, she still smiled so charmingly, leaving her back to this person.

The man, Tang Qiuli, watched Liu Xinlan leave in trance until the figure disappeared into the night. He took a deep breath of the grass-scented air, sat back at the table, and continued to write furiously.

Shan Hu, who had been outside the door and paying attention to the situation in the house, saw Liu Xinlan leaving. He could feel Liu Xinlan's peaceful aura and brisk footsteps. He couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. What he was worried about did not happen.

, he was in a very relaxed mood. He was happy that his good brother could have a good girl like Liu Xinlan by his side. Unknowingly, Shanhu seemed to regard Liu Xinlan as Xiaoling and accepted it.

.

On the same night, General Umezu Yoshijiro, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, who was busy escaping for his life and escaping from the large net woven by the Fengtian reinforcements of the Independent Division commanded by Wang Dongshan, was in an extremely bad mood and finally gave up.

But it ended like that. Tens of thousands of Kwantung Army soldiers were defeated across the board. For him, it was a fatal blow. It meant that the last effort to rescue the Kwantung Army in western Liaoning had completely failed!

On the east bank of the Donliao River, in a small, remote village with only a dozen or so households, in a dilapidated house, facing the food that the guards obtained after killing all the villagers, General Meijin had no appetite at all.

After fleeing hastily, General Umezu, protected by more than a hundred guards, did not follow the defeated troops, but chose to take a detour in the direction of Xinmin in order to avoid the encirclement of the soldiers of the Independent Division, and fled back to Fengtian via the north road.

Ever since he learned that the independent division troops were discovered at the Sujiatun Zhihong line, General Meijin knew very well that the tens of thousands of soldiers of the Western Liaoning Assault Corps were in danger of escaping. If he ran with them, he could only be a fish in the net, not a fish on the battlefield.

The sound of gunfire gradually faded away, but there was no sense of safety in his heart. He only had one thought: to return to Fengtian, and no matter what method he used, he must let His Majesty the Emperor and the base camp know the current dangerous situation of the Kwantung Army.

Misfortune never comes singly. When a person is unlucky, even a mouthful of cold water will choke his teeth. On the way to escape in a hurry, the truck carrying the radio station overturned into a deep ditch, killing more than a dozen staff officers and radio operators. General Umezu did not feel distressed at all, but

Both radio stations were turned into spare parts, causing the majestic Commander-in-Chief of the Kwantung Army to lose contact with all the troops, running around on the east bank of the Dongliao River like a lost dog.

"Damn it, it's been almost twenty days since my messenger arrived in Tokyo. Why hasn't there been any news? What on earth are those bastards at the base camp doing? What does that old guy Koichi Minai think? My memorial

, has it not reached the hands of His Majesty the Emperor?" General Umezu held his head in pain, a series of question marks swirling in his mind, so that his thinking was in a state of confusion.

"The Kwantung Army troops in western Liaoning have not received their orders and must still be desperately trying to break out. What is the current situation on the battlefield in Western Manchuria? All the elite Manchukuo troops in Xinjing have been dispatched. Is there any effect?" All of this is

He knew nothing, and without the radio, he was like a blind man or a deaf man. All kinds of unsolvable problems filled General Umezu's head, almost causing him to collapse.

From the house next door, women's screams of pain and men's howling in the wind could be heard. It was the guards who, after killing all the Manchu men, children and old people in the village, left seven or eight young women behind.

vent

"xiyu", if in normal times, General Umezu would not interfere with the interests of his subordinates, Manchuria under the rule of the Japanese Empire should be a paradise for imperial samurai, including the women of Manchuria, who would be prey for everyone.

But now, General Umezu became increasingly restless and restless. He stood up and shouted: "Baga! You only know how to play with women and disgrace the samurai of the Japanese Empire. Get rid of those damn Manchu women!"

"

The dignified Commander-in-Chief roared, and the effect was immediate. There was no movement in the room next door. Dozens of General Umezu's guards, disheveled, dragged several young women outside the village. Obviously, these

The Kwantung Army soldiers still wanted to torture these poor women, but they had to stay away from the Commander-in-Chief.

After walking a few steps, there was a call to assemble. These Kwantung Army soldiers had no choice but to pull out their bayonets and stab them into the chests of several women who were already semi-conscious. The team of more than a hundred people left under the cover of night.

As for why he walked so quickly to a small village of living people, it was because General Umezu suddenly felt nervously that this place was very unsafe. It seemed that the soldiers of the Independent Division were not far away from him, and were surrounding him step by step?

General Umezu Yoshijiro, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army of the Empire of Japan, has mysteriously disappeared. All radio stations cannot contact the commander-in-chief. The Liaoxi Assault Corps has been defeated across the board. Tens of thousands of men, women, and children are being driven away by the independent division troops.

Like sheep, they went to Sujiatun to compress the area around Hong. The news finally reached Lieutenant General Matsuda, the chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, who was in charge of Xinjing and urged the formation of the Western Manchuria Assault Corps, which was mainly composed of puppet Manchukuo troops.

After receiving the news, Chief of Staff Matsuda was stunned. He did not expect that it would be such a result. The most terrifying thing was not that General Umezu died on the battlefield and was broken into pieces for His Majesty the Emperor, but that he was captured by soldiers of the Independent Division!
