Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 323: Vengeance must be avenged

The bodies of the soldiers who died in battle were lying in rows on the long yellow sand without even a piece of white cloth covering them. The rising sun reflected the lifeless young faces, and their bodies were still covered with...

Traces of bloody battles.

Tang Qiuli's face was livid, and in a low voice, he said to the two special operations team leaders: "Report the number of casualties!" He knew that there were casualties in the troops, but he dared not believe that there were such heavy casualties. He hoped that what he saw would be

Not a real situation.

"Reporting to the division commander, the sixth and ninth detachments of the Special Operations Detachment have a total of 326 soldiers, 217 killed in battle, and 81 injured." In other words, in this earthen enclosure,

Only 109 people from the two special operations teams survived, and most of them were injured.

After the two squad leaders finished their reports, they couldn't help but shed tears. These comrades lying on the yellow sand were all brothers and sisters they had been with day and night. They had fought all the way from the Northeast to North China, and had endured many dangerous environments. Their hearts were broken.

, it was already painfully torn apart.

Tang Qiuli was stunned. This was the most elite unit of the Army Division. He and Brother Qiuquan had put so much effort into it. These soldiers were all selected from all the units in the army. Each of them has the ability to destroy the Japanese.

The glorious records themselves are part of the battle experience of the Army Division.

But now, those soldiers who were lying quietly on the yellow sand had their lives taken away by these horse bandits. If they hadn't fought this kind of position-holding battle, twice as many horse bandits wouldn't have been able to take advantage. Behind them,

That's more than a hundred scientists who are unarmed.

In order to complete the tasks assigned to them, they used their young and brave lives to fulfill the responsibilities of a warrior. The blood in Tang Qiuli's body boiled and burned.

Shan Hu also came to report that two soldiers of the special guard died and six villagers of Jintang Town died in the battle.

When has the ** division ever suffered such a heavy loss, especially the elite special operations detachment, which rarely suffered casualties.

At this moment, General Xu Haidong came over. He also learned about the casualties of the joint exploration team and wanted to come over to comfort Tang Qiuli. In General Xu's opinion, there is no lifeless person in a war. He has seen many such scenes.

.

When the Central Red Army broke through the Chairman's defense line on the Xiangjiang River, more than 80,000 Red Army troops fought bloody battles for several days with the Central Army, which was several times superior in number and equipment, in order to cover the huge central government agencies crossing the river. The Xiangjiang River was stained with blood and corpses floated on the river.

Tired and exhausted, after this bloody battle, the more than 80,000 Central Red Army troops were reduced sharply to more than 30,000 people.

After all, Mr. Qiu is just a businessman. I am afraid that he cannot accept this cruel reality, or he wants to quit because of the dangerous environment. It is a huge loss for investors who have not come easily to the Shaanxi-Gansu base area to leave like this.

This is what General Xu Haidong thought.

"Mr. Qiu..." General Xu just shouted. He was surprised to find that this quiet and young Mr. Qiu had undergone tremendous changes. A strong murderous aura rose into the sky, even he, who had been for a long time, had

Veterans who have gone through battles and seen countless scenes of life and death can't help but feel chills in their hearts.

Before he could speak again, "General Xu, please take a step to speak," Tang Qiuli said to Xu Haidong. Xu Haidong noticed that his eyes were emitting a frightening cold light.

The two people walked to a corner, and Xu Haidong heard words that he could hardly believe, "General Xu, don't tell lies to real people, and tell the truth. My true identity is the commander of the 29th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, the new army commander."

Tang Qiuli, commander of the North China ** Division and chairman of the Hebei-Cha Government Affairs Committee!"

Xu Haidong's hand instinctively reached to his waist. This was an instinctive reaction among natural enemies. When he touched the cold handle of the pistol, he slowly lowered his hand and looked at Tang Qiuli with sharp eyes.

What happened was unexpected and seemed very absurd. After ten years of life-and-death struggle with the Kuomintang, so many comrades and good comrades fell under the guns of the Kuomintang army. Dozens of their relatives were brutally killed. This kind of blood feud has been engraved in our hearts.

To the core.

Now I am actually talking to a commander of the Kuomintang army here. Is it God's intentional arrangement or a trick of fate? Catch, kill, release? This general who has experienced hundreds of battles has lost his opinion for a while.

When Tang Qiuli decided to tell Xu Haidong his true identity, he no longer wanted to think too much. He only had one idea. This revenge must be avenged. Otherwise, he would be sorry for the soldiers of the special operations detachment who were sleeping under this long yellow sand.

They will also let their conscience be tortured for life.

Xu Haidong calmed down. He was so shocked by the sudden news that he was at a loss. A Kuomintang commander came to the base of the Red Army. What was his purpose?

Tang Qiuli told Xu Haidong all the situation. He raised troops from the northeast to fight against the Japanese invaders and fought bloody battles for three years. Including his own army, there were a large number of Communist Party members and they all held military power.

There are party organizations at all levels. Of course, in all this, Tang Qiuli also said the nature of this army, which is by no means an army under the leadership of the Communist Party.

He also led a large amount of weapons, ammunition, and military supplies to the Red Army. They were in Ganquan County and could be quickly transported to areas controlled by the Red Army. This also showed his sincerity.

Finally, Tang Qiuli said: "Commander Xu, I want to show my identity because there is one thing. My troops are going to come here and the sacrifice of the soldiers must be avenged. I must borrow a road with your army. Of course, your army must

The army can also refuse, so I, Tang Qiuli, will not hesitate to lead the troops and fight all the way, and no organization or individual can stop my action."

The words were loud and full of determination and fearlessness. General Xu Haidong was like listening to a bizarre story. Everything was so unbelievable, but what this young man said was convincing. It was the intuition of a general.

, even though all of this was so absurd, Xu Haidong chose to believe in Tang Qiuli because of his temperament of a battle-hardened iron-blooded soldier.

Xu Haidong obviously couldn't make the decision on such a big matter. Letting a Kuomintang army penetrate deep into the hinterland of the Shaanxi-Gansu Revolutionary Base Area was a time bomb. If a center blossomed if not careful, the base area would face destruction.

If there is a disaster, the Red Army will lose its last foothold.

The Tang Army Commander's attitude was obvious and decisive, and he did not hesitate to lead his troops to fight all the way. Xu Haidong thought over and over again and asked Tang Qiuli to wait for a while. He then sent a report to the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China for instructions on how to deal with it.

After waiting for a long time, the bodies of the fallen soldiers have been buried. The turbid sky, the strong wind outside the Great Wall, the long yellow sand, and the salt flats have piled up more than 200 new graves, which stung Tang Qiuli's heart.

, his eyes.

General Xu Haidong hurried over with a happy face. The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China agreed to Tang Qiuli's request and said that the Red Army could dispatch troops and the two armies would cooperate to fight to eliminate the horse bandits. General Xu Haidong was authorized to take full charge of the matter and coordinate the two sides.

all actions.

I don’t know how Xu Haidong persuaded Li Desheng, the leader of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, and his experienced comrades who had experienced hundreds of battles. Anyway, the High Command of the Communist Red Army fully agreed to Tang Qiuli’s request and showed great performance.

Great sincerity.

Tang Qiuli admired the leaders of the Communist Party of China very much. This was such a bold move. In the twenty-sixth year of the Republic of China, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party were still in a life-and-death struggle. There was no opportunity to improve the relationship between the two parties.

Appear.

** needs to take great risks. It is true that extraordinary people can do extraordinary things and finally take charge of the country. It is no accident. The chairman of the Nanjing Committee will never be able to do such a thing that can seize historical opportunities.

Later, during the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, Tang Qiuli learned the details. At that time, there were serious differences within the Kuomintang leadership. Some people even suggested that they should be shot on the spot, and the fat in their mouths could be spit out.

Finally, Li Desheng made the final decision, ending the heated debate and promoting the matter.

General Xu Haidong also went to the surviving soldiers of the special detachment to inquire about the Communist Party members of the ** division. There were actually two ** Party members among the surviving soldiers. After consulting the division commander, they told General Xu Haidong the true situation.

Only then did Xu Haidong dare to guarantee it with his head.

The remaining thing was how to coordinate the two sides. Tang Qiuli sent a telegram to the convoy staying in Ganquan, crossed the Northeast Army's defense line, transported the supplies to Sansanlipu, and completed the handover with the Red Army's receiving troops.

Then quickly return to Xi'an to transport troops.

Tang Qiuli politely rejected the Red Army's suggestion to send troops. This was the division's own business, and it would be uneasy to ask for help from outsiders.

General Xu Haidong did not force it. He could see that Tang Qiuli had enough confidence and strength, but he truthfully told Tang Qiuli the situation he had learned.

Only then did Tang Qiuli realize that it was not the horse bandits that caused the special operations unit to be almost wiped out, but Ma Hongkui's troops from Ningxia. The flame of hatred in his heart burned even more fiercely.

After bidding farewell to his fallen comrades and leaving the unknown Tuweizi, Tang Qiuli felt very heavy along the way. The peaceful faces of the soldiers flashed in front of his eyes from time to time. Xu Haidong didn't say anything more. He just took charge of the next reconnaissance company and left it behind.

It was given to Tang Qiuli. This Red Army reconnaissance company had been active in the Yanchi area for a long time and was quite familiar with the geographical situation.

When they arrived at Dingbian County, Xu Haidong and Tang Qiuli shook hands tightly, shook them hard a few times, and said nothing. There is a natural spiritual connection between real soldiers that cannot be described in words. Maybe it is sympathy for each other.

Bar.

Then, he turned his horse's head, and under the escort of several guards, General Xu Haidong rode out of Dingbian County. Looking at General Xu's generous back, Tang Qiuli felt lost, unable to gallop side by side with this famous general.

The battlefield was his greatest regret.

Tang Qiuli used Dingbian County as a temporary headquarters. He discovered that General Xu Haidong, who seemed rough and heroic, was actually a very careful person, perhaps because he was afraid of causing a lot of inconvenience.

He temporarily withdrew all Red Army troops and offices in the county, giving Tang Qiuli a complete and unrestricted space, which also indirectly expressed his attitude.
