Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 298 Tian Erniu gets promoted

After the Russo-Japanese War and before the Sino-Japanese War, the Japanese Army had a lot of new officers from the Zhuang faction. These guys were all bold and reckless. They were born with a rebellious streak behind their heads and often acted against their superiors. The "September 18th" Incident was like this.

The product of this act of resistance, these young officers won the bet, which intensified their arrogance and paved the way for their subsequent downfall.

According to Yuan Shan's plan, a brigade of troops was used to carry out a night sneak attack on the positions of the 258th Regiment under the pretext of practicing night attack subjects. If the progress went well, the Chinese troops would be completely annihilated and the occupation would be a fait accompli.

If the China Army was on guard, it would have withdrawn openly in the name of an exercise. Yuan Shan also knew that through the intelligence system of the garrison, he learned that the other two regiments of the 38th Division of the China Army were behind the 258th Regiment.

Moreover, the troops of the North China Army Division were advancing rapidly toward Wanping near Wanping at night, and China's troops far exceeded theirs.

If there really was a fight, Yuan Shan really didn't have much confidence with the troops he had on hand. He also didn't expect that the 258th Regiment would place the sentry posts so far away from the forward position, causing the imperial army to fall short.

What Tian Erniu saw was just a Japanese brigade. Where he couldn't see, two Japanese regiments with full strength were waiting in full formation. The black muzzles were already pointed at the position of the 258th Regiment, just waiting for the front to succeed.

, launched an offensive across the board, seized the position of the 258th Regiment in one fell swoop, and achieved de facto occupation, driving a nail into the flank of Wanping City.

Yuan Shanjin's heart was full of regrets. God did not give him the opportunity to establish meritorious deeds. As long as an imperial soldier stepped onto the defensive position on the opposite side, Yuan Shan could march in with great arrogance. Wanping City was right on his lips.

Fatty meat, you can eat it if you want.

He could proudly tell the Chinese officers that in front of the Imperial Japanese Army, please forget fragmented words such as territory and sovereignty. Wherever the Sun Flag goes, it is the defense zone of the Imperial Japanese Army and the territory of the Japanese Empire.

Now, Yuan Shan can only look at the opposite position through the telescope, swallowing his saliva, like a hungry wolf that has entered the sheep pen but was scared away by the shotgun, full of unwillingness.

He didn't know that Tang Qiuli, the highest military and political officer in North China, had already arrived here. Yuan Shan could be proud. With one move, he attracted North China's number one man, who held hundreds of thousands of troops, to this place. He didn't know what Yuan Shan Jin thought.

Do you feel flattered or satisfied with being on equal footing with Tang Qiuli?

When Tang Qiuli came to the forward position of the 258th Regiment, he felt that the mental state of the soldiers in this regiment was not that good. When he asked where the regiment leader was, the soldiers hesitated and refused to say, or did not dare to say.

The accompanying Chief of Staff of the 29th Army was furious at the time and reprimanded: "Don't you have eyes? This is the new Commander Tang, tell me quickly, where is your regimental commander?"

Tang Qiuli frowned and didn't say anything. The soldier was sifting through chaff at that time. My mother, this young man is the newly appointed army commander! He asked me directly and if I answered incorrectly, he took out his gun and shot me on the spot.

, there is no place to complain.

Tang Qiuli hurriedly led the way, but also felt helpless. Most of the troops under the old commander had good qualities. However, after all, they came from the path of the old warlords.

The Ninth Army is the top priority.

Including the chief of staff's attitude towards ordinary soldiers, Tang Qiuli was very dissatisfied. If this was in the ** Division, the lightest case would be in solitary confinement, the worst case would be dismissed and sent to the Logistics Department as a logistics soldier. Officers of the ** Division,

How dare you talk to the soldiers with such an attitude.

When we arrived at the entrance of the regiment headquarters, we could hear the sound of finger-jumping and giving orders all the way inside. The soldier pointed his finger in fear and ran away as quickly as possible.

Tang Qiuli was furious at that time. How could anyone drink at the forward position? It was still early in the morning. As a commander, he could not set an example on how to lead the troops. Besides, where were you? The Japanese army was on the opposite side.

Heavy troops, this regiment leader has come to an end.

He stopped the chief of staff's briefing and opened the door curtain. The smell of alcohol rushed straight into his nostrils. Two disheveled soldiers were drinking hotly when they saw someone barging in without shouting a report. They thought it was his subordinates.

Unruly soldiers.

He opened his mouth and cursed: "You're so fucking blind. This is the regiment headquarters. Get out of here, you're disturbing my drunkenness!" After the scolding, there was no movement. The two men looked up and saw that the regiment leader had slipped out of his stool and onto the ground.

, he held meetings at the military headquarters, met Tang Qiuli many times, and saw Tang Qiuli's methods of dealing with the military bosses who had affairs with the Japanese.

Battalion Commander Liu had never seen him before. He was used to being in this three-acre area. He didn't see the collar badge on Tang Qiuli's military uniform, nor did he see the chief of military staff behind him. He thought his face was very strange.

Being young, I thought he was a communications soldier of that unit.

Diao squinted his eyes and asked angrily: "What part are you talking about? Didn't your commander teach you military regulations? If you were a soldier under my command, I would have beaten you half to death with a fucking stick!"

The regiment leader was so anxious, you damned me, you didn't even look at me, and you took me into the ditch. The more anxious you became, the more speechless you became, and you were busy arranging your military uniforms.

This guy surnamed Liu is really stupid. I didn’t see how anxious his immediate boss and eldest brother was. He was still spitting and flying around.

The chief of staff behind Tang Qiuli couldn't bear it anymore. This exposed thing had completely embarrassed the old army commander. As an old subordinate of Song Zheyuan, he really didn't want the new army commander to look at the old army commander.

What a joke, he gritted his teeth and squeaked out a sentence from his throat: "Commander Tang of the 29th Army, come to inspect the defense of your regiment!"

There was a "clack" in Liu's throat, and he was dumbfounded at the time. This sentence was like thunder on a sunny day, completely stunning him. My ancestor, my boss's boss's boss, was here, and he didn't know it.

How do you rank them? Anyway, he is the eldest.

Tang Qiuli suppressed the anger in his heart. After all, these were the old army commander's subordinates. If they were in the army, Tang Qiuli would have shot them both on the spot.

After asking about the situation, the regiment commander and battalion commander said in unison that everything was normal. Tang Qiuli didn't believe their lies at all. Based on the virtues of these two guys, it would be abnormal if they could discover the abnormal situation of the Japanese army on the opposite side.

With frost on his face, without saying a word, he turned around and walked towards the forward position. The chief of staff glared at the two guys hard, turned around and followed him out, and the two guys followed behind him lazily.

As the group leader walked, he glared at Battalion Commander Liu.

After turning a corner, a voice suddenly came from a shell-proof hole: "Liu Battalion Commander, you are taking this opportunity to retaliate. I and Tian Erniu are not willing to accept it, and they will not accept it even to death. What did I do wrong?"

Tang Qiuli turned around and looked at the regiment commander and Liu Battalion Commander. The regiment commander didn't know what was going on. Liu Battalion Commander hurriedly stepped forward: "Military seat, this is an old veteran. He was on guard duty and fired randomly last night, which violated military discipline. I

Put him in solitary confinement!"

Battalion Commander Liu did not dare to say that he would be shot. He really had this intention. Seeing that the commander's face was wrong, he was very clever and changed the shooting to confinement.

When Tang Qiuli heard that it was a sentry who fired, he immediately felt that this was not an easy matter. He stopped and the accompanying soldiers of the special guard immediately understood the division commander's intention, opened the door of the anti-blast hole, and released Tian Er

ox.

The morning sun was dazzling. Tian Erniu only saw a young man, followed by a large group of guards. His regiment commander and battalion commander were all waiting respectfully beside him. Where did the high official come from? He is quite impressive! Tian Erniu

Niu thought to himself.

"I am Tang Qiuli, commander of the 29th Army. Tell me, why did you shoot while on guard duty?" Tang Qiuli asked in a very kind and gentle tone.

Tian Erniu was dizzy for a while. This young man was the newly appointed Commander Tang. Yes, the two stars on his collar badge were the rank of lieutenant general. Last night he was talking about how good the commander was, but today he saw it.

I, Tian Erniu, should not die. I have met a savior. Otherwise, I don’t know how I would have been tortured to death by this crook named Liu.

Tian Erniu immediately performed a standard military salute and said, "Reporting to the military seat, Tian Erniu, squad leader of the first squadron of the third company of the 258th Regiment of the 38th Division, pays tribute to the commander!" The voice was sonorous and powerful, and the sound of the urn was strong.

The standard military posture made his thick figure look more upright and stocky. At first glance, he was a trained veteran with good military qualities. Tang Qiuli admired him. Looking at his dark and simple face, he smiled.

.

This smile was like a warm current that instantly flowed through Tian Erniu's heart and encouraged his courage.

He didn't care that his two superiors were standing nearby, and immediately told in detail what happened last night, and explained the reason why he fired in violation of military discipline, as well as Battalion Commander Liu's attitude towards him. After speaking, his expression changed.

He looked at Tang Qiuli calmly and calmly, as if he was letting himself be dealt with.

Tang Qiuli felt keenly that Tian Erniu was telling the truth. He turned to the group leader and asked: "Do you know about this matter? What kind of preventive measures have you taken?"

The regiment leader was speechless and red-faced, unable to answer a single sentence. "Emotionally, it was Battalion Commander Liu and their defense area that the Japanese troops attacked last night. However, Commander Liu simply forgot about this serious incident involving the entire situation in North China."

Later, he didn't mention it to the regiment leader at all, thinking only about shooting Tian Erniu.

Tang Qiuli didn't have time to look at the ugly behavior of these two people, so he called in all the soldiers from Tian Erniu's squad who were the lurking sentry last night, and questioned everyone carefully, and learned from this that the 258th Regiment sent lurking posts every day.

The sentry was personally arranged by the deputy commander.

After understanding the truth and course of the matter, Tang Qiuli gave an order to the Chief of Staff and recorded: "In view of Qin Youliang, the former commander of the 258th Regiment of the 38th Division, who failed to lead his subordinates and neglected military affairs, he was immediately removed from his post and escorted back to the army.

The ministry investigated and investigated. Liu Defu, the commander of the 1st Battalion of the 258th Regiment, concealed important military aircraft, neglected his duties, and almost caused a catastrophe. He retaliated against the soldiers who reported the truth and was immediately dismissed from his post. He was escorted back to the military headquarters for strict interrogation and is awaiting handling!"

"The position of commander of the 258th Regiment was taken over by Chen Chuan, the former deputy commander. The position of commander of the 1st Battalion was taken over by Tian Erniu, the former squad leader of the 3rd company and 1st squad. He was formally appointed and then issued an order to inform the entire army.
