Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 350: Laying an ambush

The atmosphere on the dock was tense and busy, and all the porters were busy working non-stop. Despite this, there were too many supplies, and only a little more than half of them had been transported by night.

The soldiers of the fourth regiment on the outer perimeter did not dare to relax at all. The battle did not start today. No one was sure whether the Japanese troops who were forced to retreat during the day were unwilling to gather greater strength and come back again.

Tang Qiuli was also very anxious. If these supplies stayed at the Tianjin port for one more minute, they would be in greater danger. After all, his own military power did not have an advantage in Tianjin, and the Japanese had recently added two armored soldiers from the mainland as reinforcements.

Waiting for the division, we stayed in Tianjin.

He thought for a while, picked up the phone, called the home of the president of the Tianjin Chamber of Commerce, and politely asked the Tianjin Chamber of Commerce to help the North China Army transport military supplies.

When the president of the Chamber of Commerce heard this, he was flattered. The number one person in the Pingjin area called him personally and asked for help. What a great honor it was! It is rare to visit him at home.

The president of the Chamber of Commerce fully agreed, and immediately mobilized the major business houses based on the fate of the Tianjin Chamber of Commerce, sent their own cars, and sent the best drivers to the dock, and all were dispatched by Commander Tang.

Not to mention, the organizational skills of the president of the Tianjin Chamber of Commerce are really good. Perhaps it was Tang Qiuli's name that played a decisive role. In less than an hour, five or six hundred cars drove to the dock quickly, and every car

There were six or seven strong young men in the car, who looked like they were working hard.

This time, the speed of transportation was obviously accelerated. By early morning, the huge freighter had been transported out, and all the materials had been transported out of the Tianjin port. Tang Qiuli breathed a huge sigh of relief, and felt a stone in his heart.

Landed.

Tang Qiuli happily gave each porter of the Canal Gang twenty yuan. Of course, this was a bounty in addition to wages, and it was distributed to each worker in the name of Chen Manjiang, the leader of the Canal Gang.

in hands.

Everything here is controlled by Chen Manjiang. Tang Qiuli is a complete layman and has no way to get involved in this work. He is very lucky that he brought the Canal Gang under his control and it plays a role today.

These workers were holding white and colorful cash in their hands. They could hardly believe that this was real. In Tianjin at that time, these oceans were enough for a family of five to comfortably use them for more than half a year. For these people who relied on strength to make a living,

For the dock workers, it was an unexpected windfall, and they all shouted: "Thank you, boss."

Chen Manjiang, who has been directing and dispatching at the scene, was quite surprised by Tang Qiuli's move. He knew that the power of his backstage boss could make the Canal Gang, which had existed for nearly a century, disappear with just a move of his little finger.

.

Now, the boss is paying money to enhance his own reputation. Chen Manjiang is not a person who does not understand etiquette. On the contrary, he is a person with clear eyes and a sophisticated mind. Otherwise, he would not be able to be in the position he is today.

Of course he knew how to do this kind of thing. He jumped on a table and shouted loudly to the workers who were still counting the oceans in their hands: "Brothers of the Canal Gang, everyone knows that our Canal Gang is in Tianjin Wei,

No one dares to bully us, no one dares to look down on us, right?"

After finishing speaking, he paused and looked at the big guys, "Yes, the banner of our Canal Gang is widely accepted and shouted loudly in Tianjin Wei. Even Yuan Wenhui and Yuan Sanye's Green Gang are polite to us."

The gang members below reacted with excitement and spoke out their innermost thoughts. Indeed, the Yunhe Gang had a vague sense of being the leader in Tianjin Wei's rivers and lakes.

"What happened today is not because I, Chen Manjiang, am so powerful and capable, but because our Canal Gang has a real big boss who is helping us behind the scenes and constantly supporting our gang. The Canal Gang is as prosperous as it is today."

situation!"

When the members of the Canal Gang heard this, they were all in a daze. The head of the Chen family supported him in front of him. We have a helmsman behind the Canal Gang. Who? Where is he? The gang members shook their heads and looked around.

.

Chen Manjiang bowed towards Tang Qiuli and clasped his fists, "General Manager, the brothers are quite complete today. It's better to meet by chance than to meet each other. It's rare for the General Manager to come to Tianjin Guard to say a few words to the brothers?"

Tang Qiuli admired Chen Manjiang's skills very much. He was worthy of being the leader of the Canal Lake for many years.

tied together, and under the care of the No. 1 person in Pingjin and Tianjin, the Canal Gang couldn't develop even if it didn't want to develop! It's better to rely on a good life than to rely on it, and it also temporarily gave itself the title of chief leader.

However, Tang Qiuli felt a little uncomfortable. He felt like he had been kidnapped by Chen Manjiang. In this situation, it was impossible not to show up. Now that things have come to this, it would be a good idea to take this opportunity to completely control the Canal Gang.

in hand.

He jumped to the table in one step and raised his fists around him, "My brother's name is Tang Qiuli. Thanks to Mr. Chen's respect, he can contribute to our Canal Gang. That's his duty. The performance of the brothers has nothing to do with the gang.

Everyone in the Chen family has told me about their contributions. My brothers are busy with affairs and cannot stay in the gang permanently. The Canal Gang is what it is today, and it is all thanks to the efforts of the Chen family and all the brothers!"

There were thousands of people under him, and they started to argue. Who was Tang Qiuli? He was the number one boss in the Pingjin area. Even the Japanese were afraid of him. He had hundreds of thousands of troops. It turned out that the boss of the Pingjin area, Song Zheyuan, was

The position was given to him, and the area from Pingjin to Chahar and Rehe was his territory. Recently, there was a turmoil over that territory in Shanxi.

This is a person who stomps his feet and makes the ground tremble. He is our total leader? Oh my mother! This is too bizarre. What’s the future of our Canal Gang? Needless to say? Follow him and you won’t be able to do it.

Are all prosperous?

The gang members below were a little dizzy by this huge happiness, and they rushed to the table together, "The boss! The boss!" they shouted one after another, making the pier full of people.

Shanhu and the soldiers of the special guard became nervous for a while, and formed a wall of people in front of Tang Qiuli. They were not afraid of anything else, but they were afraid that these fanatical gang members would share Tang Qiuli's possessions as if they were treasures.

There was another person standing there in a daze. Mei Ting could never have imagined that he was the commander of the 29th Army, the commander of the North China ** Division, the chairman of the Hebei Provincial Government Affairs Committee, the commander of the Pingjin Garrison Command, the special commissioner of the Taihang Mountain Administrative Office, and the Dingbian

The chairman of the Military and Political Committee of the Special Economic Zone and a lieutenant general of the National Revolutionary Army is actually a gang leader?

This world is too crazy, and unexpected things always happen. Mei Ting never imagined that Tang Qiuli still had such an identity. She watched silently as the fanatical gang members surrounded him, vying to shake hands.

Tang Qiuli felt mixed emotions in her heart.

After finally waiting for the gang members' emotions to stabilize, Tang Qiuli was able to escape. He and Chen Manjiang returned to the head of the Canal Gang and inquired in detail about the current strength of the Canal Gang.

Chen Manjiang told him that the Canal Gang now has no less than 100,000 members. Among them, there are more than 9,000 young men who are the backbone of the gang. They are all good and well-trained young men. This is thanks to the Tang Dynasty last time.

The eight soldiers from the special operations detachment Qiu Li left behind with the Canal Gang.

The current scale and wealth of the Canal Gang were all developed by their hands. Only then did Chen Manjiang have the confidence to compete with Yuan Wenhui's Green Gang on Tianjin Weijianghu Road and strive for the position of the largest Weijianghu gang in Tianjin.

.

Tang Qiuli rolled his eyes a few times and asked Chen Manjiang to call over the eight soldiers of the special operations detachment and learn about the details of the Canal Gang in detail. These eight soldiers are now in charge of the eight members of the Canal Gang.

At the entrance of the hall, the more than 9,000 gang backbones are their direct subordinates.

Tang Qiuli was quite satisfied with their work. These more than 9,000 people were almost the size of a field infantry brigade of the ** Division. He was worried that the ** Division's strength in Tianjin was far weaker than the Japanese.

He immediately made arrangements and based on eight halls, each hall carefully selected 700 to 800 high-quality gang members as the backbone to form a ** division urban combat brigade. Each brigade was organized into four

A squadron, the eight of you will serve as captains of the 1st to 8th brigades respectively, and will be directly under the command of the ** Division Headquarters.

These eight urban combat brigades no longer participate in the gang's ordinary help, and are officially established as the ** Division. Their members are paid by the ** Division Logistics Department. The focus is on training urban combat, especially basic tactical skills in street fighting.

All weapons and equipment are then distributed to each brigade, and each brigade is equipped with six radios to keep in touch with the division headquarters at all times.

It should be noted that the troops must be trained secretly and intensively, and the Japanese must not be aware of it. The team members must keep their identities secret, even their family members cannot disclose them. This is a military order that cannot be violated. Waiting for the order from the division headquarters, we will follow up at the appropriate time.

, the troops were transferred in batches to the Huangyadong base area in the Taihang Mountains to receive systematic training.

These matters were all done in front of Chen Manjiang, and Tang Qiuli had no intention of hiding it from him. After the arrangements were made, Tang Qiuli asked Chen Manjiang for his opinion. Chen Manjiang didn't have any other opinions.

He was frightened by Tang Qiuli's plan. Oh my God? Our Canal Gang has more than 6,000 fully armed brothers. Behind him is a big tree like Tang Qiuli. Such power, let alone destroying the Qing Gang.

With the gang, it would not be a problem to occupy the entire Tianjin Guard.

He nodded and agreed, everything would be done according to the wishes of the boss. There were people in the Canal Gang who could help. What he thought of was more than 6,000 fully armed brothers pounced on a certain gang, that kind of grandeur.

scene.

Don't you know that this is an ambush left by Tang Qiuli for the Japanese? In this way, the Japanese division has two forces in Tianjin. On the surface, it is the fourth regiment of the Japanese first brigade, and secretly, there are eight brigades.

, more than 6,000 soldiers who were specially trained in street fighting became a sharp blade that penetrated the hearts of the Japanese at the critical moment.

Tang Qiuli felt deeply that his strength was insufficient in Tianjin, so he sent a telegram to Liu Tiehan, and transferred another regiment from the Second Brigade of the Anti-Smuggling Brigade to march into Tianjin in the name of the Anti-Smuggling Brigade of the Tianjin Police Department to strengthen the Anti-Smuggling Division.

He immediately issued orders to the military forces in Tianjin as the chairman of the Hebei-Cha Government Affairs Committee.
