Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 84 The special correspondent is here

After entering the conference room, all the people attending the meeting were here, except for him. Xiaoling secretly pinched him hard. Tang Qiuli grinned and almost screamed. They all said that women are the dragons.

The skill of twisting people with claws is extremely powerful, and I have learned a lesson from it now.

Everyone looked at the commander's painful look, then looked at Xiaoling, and the whole room burst into laughter. The girl blushed, and quickly slipped to the back and found a chair to sit down without even daring to raise her head.

Tang Qiu sat in the front seat, pretending to be dignified and coughing a few times, finally ending everyone's good-natured laughter, and the meeting turned to the main topic.

First, deputy commander Tang Qiusheng reported that the local intelligence network has been fully established, covering the entire three eastern provinces, the base and the First Anti-Japanese Army. The radio station of the Manchuria Provincial Committee has been contacted, and some intelligence can be shared.

After the troops marched eastward, the troops staying at the base did not take any military action against Songjiang City and the Sanchahe area. Although the Japanese were looking for the Blood Hands everywhere like crazy dogs, the base was well hidden and had not been exposed. The Japanese Springfield Brigade

The regiment has not found any clues about the Blood Hand Regiment. All the Japanese troops have returned to their original defense areas and are working hard to clean up public security and strengthen their rule. The area is temporarily in a state of relative calm.

In addition, the base's defense system and security measures are more complete than before. The secret passages in and out of the base have been strengthened and renovated. All files of new soldiers who have joined the army have been established, and suspicious personnel have been carefully screened.

Two Japanese spies were actually discovered and secretly executed.

Chief of Staff Feng Jiwu reported on the overall situation of the army, which was his scope of responsibility.

The army now has more than 14,000 personnel. Excluding the 1,680 personnel in logistics departments such as hospitals, arsenals, weapons research institutes, clothing factories, and production bases, the army has 10,000 troops available for front-line operations.

More than three thousand people.

When Feng Jiwu said this, Tang Qiuli was a little confused. Wait, I remember that the army only had about 11,000 people at most. How could there be more than 3,000 people?

Feng Jiwu explained to him in detail that in addition to the original more than 2,800 soldiers in the army, more than 1,500 soldiers were recruited around the mountain village where they were stationed in Weijiawopu and waiting to join the Anti-Japanese Alliance.

, plus the nearly 7,000 people recruited in Sanyuanpo this time, as well as the soldiers who have returned from injury, and the personnel recruited by the various brigades, the total is more than 1,300 people, which adds up to 13,000.

More than a thousand people!

However, in addition to the old backbone of the army, more than 10,000 new soldiers are still in training and cannot be put into combat for the time being.

After listening to the words of the chief of staff, Tang Qiuli was still in a daze. His troops expanded so rapidly, beyond his expectation. Liu Tiehan on the side flushed with excitement, "Commander, in the Northeast Army, this is a

Strengthen the division's troops, Commander, you have become the division commander!"

Everyone was very excited, especially Qiu Sheng, Qiu Quan, Shan Hu, and Xiao Ling. In about two years, the army grew to more than 10,000 people from just over 50 people at the beginning. How big this is.

What a change!

Tang Qiuli grinned. There were more people and horses, and the organization of the army should also have changed. We will discuss it specifically now.

Wang Xu, director of the arsenal and director of the Equipment Research Institute, then reported that the arsenal's ammunition production is on track. In addition to reloading bullets and artillery shells, the development of high-explosive ammunition has passed preliminary tests, especially the Type 92 infantry gun and

High-explosive mortar shells can basically be produced in a final form. The explosive power of a high-explosive shell is even slightly higher than that of a large-caliber field artillery shell.

The seamless steel pipe transported back from Samyuanpo can play a big role. Using it, the Equipment Research Institute has successfully developed a large-caliber sniper rifle, and the supporting bullets have also been developed simultaneously, including armor-piercing, armor-breaking, and high-explosive.

The three models are more than enough to deal with the "Izu" series tanks and armored vehicles of the Japs.

Tang Qiuli thought. In the future, it is very likely that the troops will engage in tough battles. Facing the Japs' turrets and bunkers, direct fire will be more powerful. Wang Xu should be asked to develop a direct fire weapon similar to a rocket launcher or a grenade gun.

It is also easy to carry with the troops. After the meeting, have a good chat with him.

Next, the Minister of Logistics Zhang Quan reported that the Bloody Hands are now a super rich man. Not to mention daily necessities, the gold bars and silver dollars alone are an astonishing amount. They have piled up a whole warehouse, especially logistics production, grain, and non-staple food.

It can completely supply 25,000 to 30,000 people, and it can also be self-sufficient. Those hundreds of acres of land are precious treasures. The climate of our base is like summer all year round, with one harvest followed by another.

Today, I specially asked the kitchen to cook some cornbread sticks for everyone to try. They are a good thing in this season. I hope you haven’t tried them before!

After saying that, he proudly picked up the pipe pot and started smoking, his face full of pride!

Everyone was attracted. Fortunately, even if the Japs discovered the base and besieged it for two or three years, there would be nothing they could do to us. This is called having food in hand and keeping the troops occupied.

Xiaoling reported on the work of the hospital. Now the hospital has formed a large scale, and the wounded in the army can receive timely treatment. However, the reserves of medicines are still slightly insufficient because we cannot produce them ourselves. We need to use less, especially first aid medicines and anti-inflammatory drugs.

Medicine, hope it can be solved.

Tang Qiuli looked at Xiaoling with admiration. This girl grew up so fast. The cruel war forced everyone to learn to adapt. If the little devils had not occupied the Northeast, his little wife would not be a big child acting like a spoiled child around her parents.

After everyone reported their work, it was already noon, and we had a delicious meal of boiled corn in the restaurant. The food of this era does not have chemical fertilizers, pesticide residues, etc., and maintains the rich original flavor, and the taste is nothing to say.

The afternoon meeting mainly focused on the theme of troop reorganization. Based on the current personnel and equipment of the troop, the reorganization is as follows:

The headquarters consists of a staff office, a communications office, a baggage office, an intelligence office, and a security brigade.

There are four detachments in total, each with 2,500 people.

Each detachment has three brigades, each with 800 people.

Each brigade has three squadrons, each with 240 people.

This is a strengthened squadron. Tang Qiuli's purpose is to give each squadron an advantage in strength when encountering a squadron of Japs. To this end, in addition to three infantry squadrons, each squadron also has a mortar squadron.

, equipped with four mortars, heavy machine gun detachment, equipped with four heavy machine guns, grenade detachment

, equipped with eight grenades. In addition to riflemen and shell gunners, each squad is also equipped with two Czech light machine guns. Such firepower equipment is terrifying enough. Let alone a Japanese squadron, even if you encounter a Japanese

The strength of the brigade can defeat him personally. Anyway, there are plenty of weapons in the logistics warehouse.

This is also Tang Qiuli’s experience from history. In history, it is often difficult to wipe out all the troops of a Japanese brigade, whether it is the Communist Party of China, the Eighth Route Army, or the New Fourth Army. Why? The firepower of a Japanese brigade is difficult to destroy.

The preparations must be far better than those of the Chinese ***. Especially at the beginning of the War of Resistance, the Japanese dared to chase and fight a division of the Chinese *** with a brigade. Now he wants to change this history and let the little Japanese know

What is the firepower of a company?

The artillery brigade was upgraded to an artillery detachment, with jurisdiction over the mountain artillery, field artillery brigade, Type 92 infantry artillery brigade, and mortar brigade. The entire detachment has a total of 1,600 people.

The cavalry brigade was upgraded to a cavalry detachment. With the existing troops and horses captured later, the strength of the cavalry detachment was more than 700.

The special operations brigade was upgraded to a special operations detachment, which consists of a special operations brigade and a sniper brigade. The number is controlled within 500 people. The most important thing is quality rather than large numbers.

There is also a recruit training camp. All newly recruited soldiers must train at the base for more than five months before they can fly to various combat units.

In addition to the intelligence and security department, communications center, arsenal and equipment research institute, logistics department, and field hospital, the base also has a base security brigade.

The organizational structure of the force is as follows:

Commander: Tang Qiuli

Deputy Commander: Tang Qiusheng, Liu Tiehan

Chief of Staff: Feng Jiwu

Director of the General Staff Department: Zhao Yuhe

Director of Communications Department: Chen Feng

Director of the baggage department: Zhou Yushan

Sniper Battalion: Captain Fu Gang and Deputy Captain Fu Qiang

Recruit training camp:Commander Wu Hongtao

Base Guard Brigade: Captain Jiang Yanming

Army grassroots commander training school: Principal and chief instructor Tang Qiuli, instructor, is the captain of each branch and director of each division.

The original heads of departments at the base will remain unchanged and will still hold their original positions.

After a busy afternoon, the formation of the troops and the selection of commanders at all levels were finally completed. Cadres from the Red Army and the earliest soldiers of the Blood Hand Regiment, that is, the old members of Tangjiawopu, all served as captains or commanders of each detachment.

Squadron leader.

In addition, among the soldiers who have experienced several large-scale battles, a large number of veterans with actual combat experience were selected to serve as captains and squad leaders of each detachment. All new soldiers were evenly assigned to each detachment, and were led by veteran soldiers.

Train and form combat effectiveness as soon as possible.

After the meeting was decided, Tang Qiuli looked at the dense list of personnel to be transferred. He felt that his head was as big as a melon, and he felt terrible in his heart. He pushed the work to Liu Tiehan, Qiu Sheng, and Feng Jiwu, dragging Xiaoling away.

He ran away and hid quietly, leaving these big guys dumbfounded and shaking their heads, "Well, who is going to make our lives miserable? Let's get to work with a playful boss!"

After the formation of the troops was completed, they immediately went into intense training. There was a lively scene everywhere. The base that originally seemed empty was now filled with the sound of gunfire, people shouting, horses neighing, and roars shaking the sky all day long.

There were more than 10,000 people, what a magnificent scene. Fortunately, the place was big enough to accommodate another five or six thousand people. Tang Qiuli was secretly grateful that God had taken care of him and given such a treasured land!

He and Xiaoling visited all the scenic spots inside and outside the base. They left their footprints in dense forests and high mountains. Their silhouettes cuddling together were shadowed by the clear stream. The breeze of early spring witnessed them.

Two innocent laughs.

At night, hide in the world of two people and enjoy the sweetness of love.

Although everyone was extremely busy, they deliberately did not disturb the young couple. Except for giving lectures at school, they spent the rest of the time with Xiaoling.

This period of time was the happiest, most romantic, and happiest time that Tang Qiuli had ever experienced. Although he later moved to different places and his lover around him had gone far away, this wonderful time had deeply penetrated into his heart. Every time he thought about it,

Getting up stirred the warmth in his heart.

On this day, he and Xiaoling had just returned to the base with the wild vegetables they had picked. Qiu Sheng sent an urgent message from the Harbin Intelligence Center Station. The message stated that Shao Benliang was involved in the battle of Ulan-Wugai and

He was not killed, but was seriously injured and is now being treated at the Kwantung Army Army Hospital in Harbin.

The Japanese valued Shao Benliang very much and knew that this traitor still had a lot of value. They chose the best doctors in Japan to perform surgery on him and finally saved his life. They also knew that he had too many enemies and were afraid that someone would take the opportunity to assassinate him.

.The Black Dragon Society, the Japanese secret service in Kanto, is responsible for the protection, and the protection measures are very strict.

This information was hard-won and was obtained at the expense of several intelligence officers at the Harbin Intelligence Center Station.

After reading the information, Tang Qiuli regretted it. If he had known this, he would have sent troops to pursue him all the time, which would have saved him the trouble now. If this traitor recovers from his injuries and returns to the East Road of South Manchuria, he will be even crazier than before.

He raised a recruiting banner, and all the local ruffians, bully landlords, black-hearted beards, traitors and traitors joined his banner.

Wouldn't he and the resistance forces have to deal with this mad dog again?

No, we must kill him completely. At the same time, Tang Qiuli was very strange. His shot was very sure to kill Shao Benliang. The bullet hit the heart. How come this guy didn't lose his life?

I don’t understand what’s going on!

In the afternoon, the communication center sent a telegram from the Manchuria Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China, saying that the special commissioner of the Central Bureau of the Communist Party of China in Manchuria Provincial Committee would arrive at the base in the near future to meet with Commander Tang Qiuli to learn about the South Manchurian Anti-Japanese War.

situation, learn the fighting methods of the Blood Hands, and go to Commander Tang to receive him. The message in the message was very sincere and polite.

Tang Qiuli was very confused. His army was not under the leadership of the Communist Party, and it only had a cooperative relationship with the Manchuria Provincial Committee. If he wanted to understand the anti-Japanese situation in southern Manchuria, why not go to General Yang's Anti-Japanese First Army and come here?

What do you want to do? To say that you are studying is to be polite. You, the special correspondent, are not military cadres. What are you studying?

At this time, the main Red Army in the Central Soviet Area had to start a strategic shift due to the failure of the fifth anti-"encirclement and suppression" campaign. The fundamental reason for this failure was that the "three-man regiment" that actually held power at the time was completely abandoned by the Communist Party Central Committee.

** caused by the correct route.

Moreover, the expansion of the counter-revolutionary suppression carried out in various Soviet areas has caused immeasurable damage to the Red Army. Many excellent Red Army commanders and many famous generals have been purged. They did not fall to the guns of the Kuomintang troops, but fell to the counter-revolutionary personnel.

under the gun.

What is the purpose of this Central Commissioner coming to the base at this time?

Wanting to refuse, but feeling that it was not appropriate, he immediately arranged a special operations brigade and dispatched a capable team to protect the special commissioner to the base.

On the afternoon of the third day, the special correspondent arrived at the base. This special correspondent’s surname was Zhang. He had an accent from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. He was in his forties, fair-skinned, tall and thin, wearing thick glasses. He was very enthusiastic and humble. He kept saying

They came here to learn, and they brought ten guards with them. Tang Qiuli could tell that they were all masters of martial arts.

At noon, a grand welcome banquet was held. Commissioner Zhang delivered a passionate speech, which made Li Honggang and other party members extremely happy. These were leaders from the central government, and they could ask for theoretical questions at any time in the future.

After politely sending the special commissioner to his room to rest, Tang Qiuli held a military meeting and decided to lead the direct guard and the special operations detachment to Harbin to get rid of Shao Benliang and avoid future troubles.

Everyone unanimously objected. How could the top commander of the army be allowed to risk his life and go to dangerous situations in person? Harbin is a special city of the Puppet Manchukuo. The Japs have heavy troops stationed there. What's more serious is, where are the Kwantung Army's secret service agencies?

No, no, no! Just send the special warfare detachment.

After Tang Qiuli's careful analysis, everyone reluctantly agreed and formulated many plans with only one purpose, which was to require Shan Hu and Battelle to absolutely ensure the safety of the commander.

He also told everyone present that they must entertain the special commissioner well. The main task of the army at present is to train new soldiers and not to take any military action against the surrounding Japanese soldiers easily. Any military action must be approved by him or wait for his return.

Make a decision again.

After returning to the room, Xiaoling offered to follow her. Her second brother was in Harbin and she hadn't seen her for several years. Her father and her mother were very worried. She also missed her second brother very much, so she took this opportunity to visit.

After saying that, Xiaoling looked at Tang Qiuli eagerly, fearing that she would not be allowed to go.

Seeing Xiao Ling's well-behaved, docile and expectant look as a cat, he burst into laughter and hugged Xiao Ling, "Little girl, I will take you there this time. Pack your things and set off tomorrow!" Xiao Ling immediately

She cheered and protested loudly: "Who cares about calling me a little girl? I'm already twenty, and I'm two years older than you!"

Seeing Xiaoling's happy look, Tang Qiuli was very pleased. It was also a kind of happiness to make his beloved girl happy.

The next day, they set off early. Before leaving, the core members of the base were at the secret passage to see them off. Commissioner Zhang also came and shook hands with him warmly to say goodbye. However, Tang Qiuli always felt that in this place

Behind Commissioner Zhang's thick glasses, something deeper flashed, making people feel uncomfortable, as if he was hiding some secret.

He shook his head, trying to get rid of this feeling, took Xiaoling away from the base, and set off
