Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 738: Flesh and Blood Shanhaiguan (1)

The war in Tianjin reassured Tang Qiuli, but because the upcoming Kwantung Army reinforcements could not completely annihilate the more than 400,000 Japanese troops in North China gathered in Tianjin, he felt very regretful. There was no way, and there was still a shortage of troops. If

If I have ten more brigades of troops, I will use Tianjin and Shanhaiguan as magnets to continuously attract the Kwantung Army troops, and it will be much easier to wring out the blood of the Japanese troops in the Northeast little by little and regain the Northeast.

(Baidu search,)

Farewell to Tang Qiusheng and Liu Tiehan, when we came out of the general offensive headquarters in Tianjin, it was already a crescent moon setting in the west, there were only a few stars, the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke, and we could also see clusters of unburned remnants, feebly flickering.

With the dark red firelight, the salty sea breeze blowing from the Bohai Bay, mixed with the smell of gunpowder smoke, gives people an indescribable feeling.

There were a few sporadic gunshots from time to time, but it seemed that the night was even quieter. It could not be connected with the tranquility in front of me and the scene of five consecutive days of fierce fighting, continuous artillery fire, and smoke covering the sun. I hope this is the last smoke and gunfire in North China.

, after this battle, there was no more fighting in North China, staring into the night,

Tang Qiuli suddenly had a strange thought in the Tianjin city without any lights. What were the Japanese doing in Tianjin city? Do they think that they were about to face the fate of being annihilated, or did they believe that the sun flag would float forever in this city?

Above the city, the dream of the Japanese Imperial Army being undefeated.

A burst of fragrance came, immediately dissipating the strange smell of the sea breeze and gunpowder smoke. Mei Xue gently put a windbreaker on Tang Qiuli. Only then did he feel a chill on his shoulders. Turning around, his fiancée's bright eyes were filled with

Concerned, Pingting's figure was as pretty as a lily. In the silent night, Tang Qiuli suddenly felt that Mei Xue had undergone some big changes in her temperament. She seemed to be much more mature, and there was a deeper look in her eyes.

thing.

This kind of change and maturity made Tang Qiuli unable to adapt to it for a while. It was novel and a little disappointing. In his heart, he still liked Mei Xue's usual childish attitude. Maybe after Mei Xue dedicated her body to herself, she had some mental improvement.

There had been a change, but I just didn't notice it. With a slight apology, I gently put my arm around Mei Xue's slender waist, and hugged each other back to their residence.

That night, Tang Qiuli did not sleep soundly. For a moment, Xiaoling was holding a child whose face could not be seen clearly, smiling at him in the clouds, getting close, but then suddenly moving away, and a few drops of cool tears fell from the clouds.

After a while, Mei Ting was running towards him amidst the heavy artillery fire. The shells or left

Or something exploded next to her. Under the firelight of the explosion, Mei Ting's black hair fluttered like an elf, but her face disappeared and appeared. For a while, Mei Xue looked at him with a shy smile. Under the mist, there seemed to be attachment in her eyes.

When I wanted to ask about it, Mei Xue disappeared into the mist and was nowhere to be seen.

After a while, Xiaoling, Mei Ting and Mei Xue merged into one in front of his eyes and turned into a gorgeous flower. He watched this flower bloom in front of his eyes, showing the vibrant colors of life and blooming to its most brilliant.

Then, watching the flowers wither away quietly, he tried his best to water them with blood, but he could only watch the petals flying like butterflies, falling into the world of mortals. What was left was only the faint fragrance in the air, the undying beauty in his heart, and the three flowers.

A smiling face.

That night, the three women in his life appeared alternately in Tang Qiuli's dream. He felt their presence, but could not grasp their plump bodies. Their hearts were divided into three petals, crystal clear and clear, and they could be heard in his ears.

The coming plum snow is like a soft call from the sky, Tang Qiu

Li opened his eyes and woke up from an endless dream. His eyes were filled with tears. Seeing the concern in Mei Xue's eyes, he held this girl full of vitality tightly in his arms, for fear of losing something.

It also seems to verify the real existence and has never been lost.

Feeling Mei Xue's beating heart, full and full breasts, hearing Mei Xue's thin breathing, warm and delicate body, calmed down Tang Qiuli's chaotic mood, and fell asleep hazily. Although Mei Xue did not know that the man she loved today,

Why is Wan so abnormal?

But I felt his cool tears on my forehead. I didn't ask, but quietly let my strong arms stretch my waist to the point of breaking. I reached out and gently stroked his broad back, listening to the man's gradually calming breathing.

, keep your beautiful eyes wide open until dawn.

Tang Qiuli only stayed in Tianjin for one night. At dawn, he was awakened by fierce artillery fire. It was another day of fighting. The collision of blood and fire, the troops began to attack. Amidst the rumbling sound of artillery, Tang Qiuli left Tianjin and rushed to Shanhaiguan.

Before leaving, he ordered a detachment of soldiers from the special guard to escort Mei Xue to Taiyuan and then back to Dingbian.

The reason was very good. Mei Ting was pregnant and needed Mei Xue to take care of her. Although Mei Xue refused in every possible way, she was still forced to leave by Tang Qiuli. The car left Tianjin and headed north. The sound of cannons gradually faded away, and Mei Xue's wet tears were still flashing in front of her eyes.

Her pretty face and eyes showed deep reluctance and attachment. Last night's dream gave him a very bad feeling, as if he was about to lose something.

In life, a heart is divided into three petals. One petal has been lost. If it is lost again, how will he live? Tang Qiuli vowed that from now on, he will never bring his beloved woman to a place under fire.

On the battlefield, he would rather endure the pain of lovesickness than let them suffer any harm. In the distance, there is a real expectation that can make him feel like going home. He has always blamed himself for leaving Xiaoling by his side and experiencing the cruelty together.

The war was his biggest mistake.

As the convoy passed Shanhaiguan, a thick smell of gunpowder smoke rushed towards us. In the distance, we could already vaguely hear the sound of continuous artillery fire. A tense atmosphere came from the road. The convoys of the ** Division Transportation Headquarters were coming in an endless stream.

transport supplies and ammunition to the front line,

There was a busy and tense atmosphere. The intensity of the frontline fighting could be seen just from the logistics force supporting Feng Jiwu's regiment. When they saw the division commander's motorcade passing by, all the soldiers saluted solemnly, and the cars blew their whistles and paid tribute to their hearts.

tribute to God.

Along the way from Tianjin to Shanhaiguan, Tang Qiuli noticed that on both sides of the transportation route, anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns of the air defense forces could be seen everywhere, closely guarding the sky above them. He also saw several batches of fighter planes flying past, with the fleets spaced apart.

The time arrangement was very reasonable and Le Yiqin worked hard.

However, deep craters and occasionally charred cars can still be seen on the road at any time. The intensity of the air defense battle is no less than that of the ground battle. Tang Qiuli nodded with satisfaction. With the air power at a disadvantage,

It is very valuable to be able to keep the logistics supply line from being cut off.

When Tang Qiuli had just passed Shanhaiguan, the front line of Liugu River was already a sea of ​​fire. Feng Jiwu commanded the corps and the Sun Zhenbang corps assigned to him, as well as the six newly formed infantry brigades in Dingbian, with a total of 230,000 troops, along the

The more than 70-kilometer-long front line in Jianchang, Heishan, and Suizhong carried out a tenacious block against the swarming Kwantung Army troops.

After many years of fighting, Feng Jiwu had never experienced such a fierce battle. The Kwantung Army troops fought like crazy. For five consecutive days, countless artillery shells were poured down on the defense line. There were bombers in the sky and the Kwantung Army on the ground.

army waves

A general group charge. On the sea surface are the large-caliber naval guns of Japanese warships. The position is shrouded in smoke all day long, and the sounds of gunfire and bomb explosions are heard in the ears. The temporary field fortifications have been completely repaired.

Lost appearance.

After five days of fighting, the casualties of the troops have exceeded 40,000, consuming nearly a brigade of troops every day. The artillery firepower that originally had the upper hand faced the suppression and bombardment of several artillery groups of the Kwantung Army and thousands of artillery pieces.

Feng Jiwu felt useless because the Niangziguan garrison had never fought such a heavy loss in battle, and the Japanese casualties were close to one to one.

Fortunately, there is a Liugu River, which can be used as a natural barrier. The Kwantung Army can only choose a dozen attack directions. If the Japanese army attacks the entire plain, Feng Jiwu really doesn't know how to deal with it. The biggest pressure is that his troops have to attack every day.

is being consumed, and Kwantung Army reinforcements are constantly arriving from all over the Northeast, and they are constantly attacking the blocking defense line with cutting-edge troops. Now, the Kwantung Army troops he faces have reached more than 380,000 people, far more than him.

existing military strength.

What made him slightly gratified was that the morale of the troops and the fighting will of the soldiers had not diminished at all. Many positions were fought to the last man, and the Japanese army did not break through. Coupled with the uninterrupted logistical supplies, Feng

Jiwu gritted his teeth and persisted until now. When Tang Qiuli entered Feng Jiwu's headquarters, he happened to lose his temper.

When the staff officers and correspondents saw the arrival of the division commander, they all stood up in surprise and wanted to salute. Tang Qiuli quickly waved his hands to stop him. They were busy with their business, found an ammunition box to sit down, and watched with interest and shouted into the phone.

I yelled at Feng Jiwu. I have known Feng Jiwu for many years, and I have never seen him with such a temper. It was refreshing.

"What? Highland 132 was violently bombarded by the Japanese army. One battalion of defensive troops suffered only more than a hundred casualties. The Japanese army concentrated the strength of a brigade and stormed the breach. Let me tell you, your brigade will immediately organize troops and attack the small area.

The Japanese will fight back. If a Japanese soldier sets foot on the west bank of the Liugu River, come and see him."

"Requesting for reinforcements? Li Zhiyi, let me tell you, I have a spare soldier on hand. Even if you, the brigade commander, go to the front as a machine gunner in person, you still have to hold the Kuanbang's front-line position. What? There are two little Japs on the opposite side of you.

With the strength of a division, even if Nanjiro comes in person, you still have to hold the position for me. Do you want me, the commander of the corps, to take the guard regiment and personally reinforce you?"

Feng Jiwu threw down the phone angrily, turned around, and saw Tang Qiuli looking at him with a smile. He was stunned and immediately shouted in surprise: "Sir, why are you here?" Tang Qiuli stood up and smiled.

He said: "Commander Feng is so angry.

, If I hadn’t come in quietly, I really wouldn’t have been able to see His Majesty the Commander’s might. It’s so breathtaking. Wouldn’t it be frightening to wait for my subordinates?” Feng Jiwu smiled sheepishly, and there was a burst of chuckles and nervousness in the room.

The atmosphere immediately dissipated.
