Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 691 Yan Xishan lost his money

In the Battle of Wubao Ferry, Okamura Neji lost troops and generals. After several successive attacks, he failed to gain any advantage. Tang Qiuli was worried that Okamura Neji had plans to retreat to Taiyuan in the face of the current predicament. This was not his intention.

The result he wanted to see was that the more than 100,000 Japanese troops gathered on the banks of the Yellow River were already part of his overall plan. They were just outflanking troops from the rear and had not yet reached the designated position. It would take some time to complete.

deploy.{}

At this time, Okamura Neiji ran away and lost an excellent opportunity to annihilate the main force of the Japanese army. He was going to give Okamura Neiji a little sweetener to prevent the old devil from completely despairing. Yongheguan Ferry was the best choice.

, he invited Xiao Jinguang, commander of the Yongheguan Eighth Route Army garrison, to come to Wubao for discussion. Chen Feng, director of the communications department, sent in a telegram.

Meiling and the Dingbian Military Academy cadet platoon he led were missing. Not only did they lose contact with their company, they also lost contact with the Fort Wu headquarters. Tang Qiuli's heart tightened. To be honest, he was worried about Meiling's safety.

The battle pattern in the Luliang Mountains is that the enemy is strong and we are weak, and it is an enemy-occupied area, far away from the rear, and with a small force deep behind the enemy's rear, any unexpected situation may occur.

But what the telegram said was not clear. In the name of the division commander, he sent a telegram to the company where Mei Ling was located, asking for a detailed explanation of the reason. After thinking for a while, he told Chen Feng, who was about to leave with the telegram, "Chen Chu

"Sir, please don't tell Director Mei and the sisters about Meiling for the time being, lest they worry." Chen Feng glanced at Tang Qiuli and thought to himself, the teacher is really attentive and considerate, and such a man would marry him.

A woman's blessing.

The top commander of the ** Division sent a telegram directly to an ordinary company. This was unique in the history of the ** Division. The company commander who received the telegram could not help but tremble in his hands. His first thought was, "

Who is the division commander, Mei Ling, the intern platoon leader who leads the team? Can the division commander send a special telegram to inquire about this matter?" He did not dare to neglect, and immediately reported in detail what happened at that time.

Four days ago, the 1st Battalion and 5th Company of the 3rd Brigade of the Yellow River Defense Corps, where Meiling is located, followed the established combat deployment and directly penetrated into the Cang'erhui area located in the hinterland of the Luliang Mountains. After occupying a mountain pass, they discovered that the Japanese troops were coming from Taiyuan.

The troops coming from the same direction were beaten hard by the fifth company, knocking down nearly a hundred Japanese soldiers. When they moved, they found that they could no longer escape from the Japanese troops smoothly, and about two squadrons of Japanese troops were chasing them.

After circling in the mountains for several days, they still couldn't get rid of the entanglement of the Japanese army. This Japanese army seemed to have received a death order and would not give up until they were killed. The strength of the Japanese army in the two squadrons was more than double theirs.

What's worse is that this Japanese army called more than a squadron of the garrison stationed in Wenshui to press over from the south, and the troops were in danger of being surrounded again.

The company commander held an emergency meeting and decided to leave a platoon of troops to block the Japanese army and cover the main breakout. This was a dangerous task. Meiling, on behalf of the cadet platoon, insisted on taking on the blocking task. The company commander refused to agree to anything. In his opinion,

Come on, these students from the Military Academy are not afraid of death in battle, but compared with the other three platoons, they are still a little bit inferior. Besides, these people are all precious little ones.

Time was running out, and the gunshots of the Japs were already approaching. Under the repeated insistence of Mei Ling and other students, the company commander had no choice but to agree to their request. Not to worry, six soldiers were transferred from the other three platoons.

The platoon led by Mei Ling, an experienced squad leader, has fifty-one people and is equipped with four mortars, two heavy machine guns, and eight light machine guns. The firepower is very powerful. In order to facilitate communication, the two radio stations of the fifth company were divided into

Give one to Meiling and the others.

After the fifth company successfully broke through, they lost contact with the cadet platoon. They once returned to the blocking position, but saw shell casings everywhere. It can be seen that the battle was very fierce. After searching for several days, there was no result. The cadet platoon was like a human being.

As if it had evaporated, the company commander had no choice but to report the situation to the regiment. The regiment headquarters did not dare to neglect and reported it to the headquarters.

When Tang Qiuli saw the call back from the Fifth Company, he had no choice but to do something. However, one thing was certain. The student platoon was not completely wiped out. At least it had successfully broken through. There were no remains of the students on their blocking position, so they could only wait.

Tang Qiuli sent another telegram to Tang Qiuquan, "Brother Qiuquan, Mei Ling and the students are missing in the Cang'erhui area of ​​Luliang Mountain. Please ask the special operations detachment to help find them. If there is news, please telegraph immediately," This is a private matter. Tang Qiuli

It is impossible to give orders.

Qiuquan, who received the telegram, didn't think so. He knew what Tang Qiuli was thinking. Mei Ling was one of his closest relatives. If an accident occurred, the two elders of the Mei family might be upset. He immediately ordered three special operations teams to go deep into the area immediately.

Go to the Luliang Mountains and search for students

After finding out the whereabouts of the platoon members, everything that needed to be done was done. Tang Qiuli's heart was in the air. Facing the table of meals prepared by Mei Ting and Mei Xue, he couldn't work up his appetite. Seeing that he was absent-minded, the Mei sisters looked at each other and said...

She didn't ask why, she just ate with him silently.

This made Tang Qiuli unable to face the eyes of the two sisters. Mei Ting suddenly put down her job and ran outside the door to vomit. Tang Qiuli was startled and hurriedly ran out, shouting to the guards to find a military doctor.

Mei Ting covered her mouth and glared at him angrily, "You're making such a fuss, and you're not afraid to call the entire command center?"

Tang Qiuli was confused and asked with concern: "I'm sick, what can I do without seeing a doctor?" Mei Ting gave him a meaningful look and said nothing. As soon as she returned to the house, Chen Feng came over and held an envelope.

The telegram was from Yan Xishan. The content of the telegram was changed by Yan Xishan.

The commander's true character, in a word, low-key, is very pitiful. According to him, the remaining troops of the Jin army can't even drink gruel and can only wear trousers. They are often chased by the Japanese and have no way out. Please tell me.

The Vice Chairman indicated the next course of action.

"Xun Jian, Vice Chairman of the Tang Dynasty and Commander-in-Chief of the Yellow River Basin War Zone, our Jin army fell through the battles of Taigu, Jinzhong and Taiyuan. Facing the siege from several sides by the superior Japanese army, our troops lost all their strength and had no choice but to retreat to Shuo, northwest of Shanxi.

Prefecture area, to preserve strength in an attempt to make a comeback, but unexpectedly, the Japanese army was hot on their heels. After more than ten days of hard fighting, more than half of the troops were killed and wounded. In addition to those who fled halfway, only the remaining soldiers were left.

With less than 8,000 troops, 3,500 of them were wounded. The soldiers had no fighting spirit, the generals had no fighting spirit, they were trapped internally and externally, and their situation was precarious. The Jin army was under the jurisdiction of the Yellow River Basin War Zone. The Ministry of Staff requested instructions from Commander-in-Chief Tang.

, where will the Jin army go? As long as the orders of the Vice Chairman of the Tang Dynasty, Baichuan and the Jin army officers and soldiers will all obey the orders, Yan Xishan." This is the entire content of Yan Xishan's telegram.

Tang Qiuli smiled coldly. Yan Xishan now remembered that he had returned to the Yellow River Basin war zone to command. He had hundreds of thousands of troops and was stationed in Taiyuan. He looked down upon the land of the Three Jin Dynasties. Why didn't he have such an attitude? This man is showing weakness now, completely

Put yourself in the position of a subordinate, flexible and flexible, a shrewd and powerful character. With the speed of his brain, sooner or later he will understand the inside story of the Shanxi battle and discover his own plan to kill people with a borrowed knife.

Yan Xishan is finished, he has lost all his capital, and finds that he has refused to save him. The enemy will be in great trouble. With Yan Xishan's character, he will never knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach. If he stays in Shanxi, he will be released sooner or later.

The big question is, as the saying goes, "If you beat a snake, you will suffer harm instead of dying," it cannot give him a chance to turn over, so where should it be placed?

He couldn't stay out of his sight, and couldn't make trouble, which ruined his plan to make a comeback. Tang Qiuli rolled his eyes a few times. Once he had it, it was most suitable to put it in Dingbian. That was his hometown, and Yan Xishan was a foreigner.

, has no foundation, and I understand that he will not be able to achieve much. We will find an opportunity to send him to Nanjing and let Chairman Chiang arrange for him. In short, after leaving Shanxi, Yan Xishan is like a fish out of water.

I made up my mind and immediately sent a telegram back to Yan Xishan: "Brother Baichuan, the performance of the Jin army in a series of battles in Shanxi is remarkable, and there are many excellent works. It is especially best to train the brigade personally with my brother. I have already

The achievements of the Jin army will be reported to the Nanjing Military Commission, and Brother Baichuan will be asked to report the list of meritorious soldiers and apply for awards from the Military Commission. The deeds of the sons of the three Jin Dynasties who bravely killed the enemy will be reported to all the people."

"The Jin army is exhausted from fighting for a long time and should rest and recuperate in time. The northwest of Shanxi is vast and sparsely populated and lacks supplies. It is also under threat from the Japanese army. It is not an ideal place to rest and recuperate. I have a suggestion. The Jin army can be stationed on the border.

Rest and reorganization of special economic zones shall be decided by me

The manpower and material resources in Bian will definitely help the Jin army regain its glory as soon as possible. Brother Baichuan can take up the position of vice chairman of the Military and Political Committee of Dingbian Special Economic Zone. Is the above suggestion appropriate? I am eagerly looking forward to Brother Baichuan's reply to Tang Qiuli and the Wubao Ferry Frontline.

Command."

Tang Qiuli looked at the reply he personally drafted and felt quite proud. Even if Yan Xishan is as cunning as a ghost, he still wants to drink my foot-washing water. He understood Yan Xishan's psychology correctly. If this iron abacus was not desperate, he would definitely not be there.

Being humble in front of him, he had no other place to go but to follow the path he drew. Besides, after all, Dingbian is separated from Shanxi by the Yellow River. Yan Xishan would definitely not be able to resist such a temptation.

When Yan Laoxi arrived in Dingbian, he was just a piece of meat in his mouth. He was not at his mercy and gave him a false position as vice chairman. He also had an explanation for Nanjing. Yan Xishan's problem was completely solved. Thinking of this

Chen Feng couldn't help but laugh evilly. Hearing this, Chen Feng got goosebumps all over his body. What was the teacher paying attention to?

Yan Xishan, who received the telegram, sat on the pit of a dark cave dwelling and kept silent for a long time with his head lowered. The senior generals of the Jin army surrounding him did not know the content of the telegram, but judging from Commander Yan's demeanor, it seemed as if his ancestral grave had been buried.

As if he was planing, Yan Xishan raised his head and looked at his subordinates who had been following him for many years. His eyes were shining with a dark light, his expression was very tired, and his face looked lonely and helpless.

After a long time, he gave instructions in a hoarse voice: "Call back to the man named Tang and tell me, Yan Baichuan, to accept his arrangement and rush to Dingbian immediately." The tone of these words was full of heartache and pain, and there was

Confused.
