Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 926: Leaving the Brigade

When Tang Qiuli led all the division's personnel to arrive in Wuhan, it was already evening. Without taking any time to rest, he held a meeting at the regiment headquarters of the Sulu Mobile Corps. After listening to the report from the regiment commander Tang Qiusheng, Tang Qiuli

I made a surprising decision and entered the Guangdong and Guangxi areas on foot.{}

This decision was opposed by everyone, especially the corps commander Tang Qiusheng and the chief of staff Yu Guanghan. The opposition was particularly fierce. They couldn't help but worry. Whether it was entering Guangdong, Guangxi or Hunan and other places, the situation was more complicated. Local

The forces are very powerful. The Japanese Army has not established political power in this area, and the forces have not yet affected this area.

As for Tang Qiusheng's Sulu Mobile Corps, more than 200,000 troops entered with force, and were secretly restrained by local forces from time to time. The supply convoys were attacked from time to time, all said to be the work of bandits, but in

From Tang Qiusheng's point of view, they were basically a family of officials and bandits who wrote to the Hubei Provincial Government to demand a crackdown, but what they got was a perfunctory response, full of empty words and nonsense.

The local county government was ordered to send troops to suppress the bandits, and a lot of ammunition was required. Each time, they said that the bandits had been wiped out, but the supply lines were still attacked. Later, Chief of Staff Yu Guanghan planned to lure the snakes out of their holes and give the bandits who attacked the supply lines several severe blows.

Only with heavy blows and heavy escorts did the bandits' arrogance disappear.

Once the captured bandits were interrogated, the facts they confessed made Tang Qiusheng, who was quite stable, furious. What kind of bandits were they? They were just some local security groups. There were not many real bandits. In anger, Tang Qiusheng shot several people in succession.

The county magistrate of each county and all the security groups where the corps and brigades were stationed were disbanded to ensure the smooth flow of supply lines.

After the Central Army withdrew, the local security became even more chaotic. Local toubos, stragglers, and civilian forces were intertwined. There was a hilltop for five miles, a commander for eight miles, and more than a dozen men and guns gathered in the mountains and forests, specializing in robbing homes and raiding merchants.

The business looked like ordinary people during the day, but at night, when a few people took out their swords and guns, they turned out to be fierce bandits.

Because the Sulu Mobile Corps is ready to go to the front line at any time, it does not dare to invest too much energy in local security. Tang Qiusheng knows this very well. How dare he let Tang Qiuli take this risk? If it is in Hebei, even if it is

Even if Tang Qiuli only took Shan Hu with him, he wouldn't stop him.

Tang Qiuli also knew why everyone was worried and obstructed, but he had to do this. Ever since he learned that the special envoys of the national government and the Japanese government had used the Bagui Guild Hall in Hong Kong as a place for talks, this matter became Tang Qiuli's heart.

There was lingering doubt that Chairman Chiang had reached some kind of compromise with Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi. Whether this was the case, Tang Qiuli was not sure yet.

The subsequent main battlefield was in Guangdong and Guangxi. Tang Qiuli was full of curiosity about Guangxi under the rule of Li Bai who could compete with Chairman Chiang. The reason why he insisted on entering Guangdong and Guangxi incognito was that he wanted to see things that he could not usually see.

, fighting in an unfamiliar area with the topography, customs and customs here, Tang Qiuli did not dare to be careless in the slightest.

Tang Qiuli invested almost all the capital of the ** division here. He couldn't help but be careless, so he had to do this. After the meeting, he left Tang Qiusheng and Yu Guanghan to carefully explain his plans and plans.

He told two people, "Brother Qiu Sheng and Guang Han, understand the actual situation of the place. For

Our next battle is extremely important. Our troops have always been accustomed to fighting in large groups, but this is not the north. We do not have a solid rear foundation. It is especially important to have good dealings with local powerful factions, and to have first-hand information.

It will also be beneficial to us in the future." Tang Qiuli said solemnly.

Tang Qiusheng and Yu Guanghan did not speak. In their hearts, they actually agreed with the teacher's statement. After being stationed in Wuhan and Hubei Province for several months, they were well aware of the troubles involved. Strange areas, strange people, and constant small tricks.

The intangible, invisible but real hostility of local powerful factions made the two corps commanders feel like their hands were tied.

Tang Qiusheng's heavy blows several times only suppressed the superficial turbulence, fearing that the seeds of hatred have also been planted. Secretly, there are countless pairs of fierce eyes peering at the movements of the ** division troops. These people

, under Japanese attack, the possibility of becoming a traitor was almost 100%. Therefore, Tang Qiusheng and Yu Guanghan were very worried about the safety of their division commander, which was the only reason why they tried their best to prevent Tang Qiuli from making such an arrangement.

But Tang Qiuli's words clearly convinced the two of them. In the end, they had no choice but to agree to Tang Qiuli's plan to enter the Guangdong and Guangxi areas. However, the safety of the division commander was extremely well done. In addition to the division headquarters security brigade, he also dispatched

A capable guard battalion. As a guard, this battalion is fully equipped with weapons and ammunition in accordance with the standards of field troops for independent operations. Without external aid, it can continue to fight for more than a week. From soldiers to officers, they are all very experienced in combat.

Rich veteran.

As for walking, don't even think about it. They are all equipped with war horses, guard brigades and guard battalions, unified under the command of Shanhu. More than 2,800 people have become a cavalry force. Tang Qiuli can't stop the two commanders from making a grand display.

According to his original intention, it would be enough for a few dozen people to be lightly armed and simple. Who would have thought that such a large battle would be fought, which was almost like fighting a small battle. He did not dare to say this, otherwise, even the corps would be destroyed.

No one can leave, so they can only stay in Wuhan.

After leaving Wuhan and going south, he entered Hunan within a few days. Looking at the cavalry brigade of more than 2,000 people, which could equip four or five companies with light and heavy machine guns and mortars, Tang Qiuli frowned and felt sorry for Qiu Sheng in his heart.

I don’t quite recognize my brother’s arrangement like this.

However, he didn't know that as soon as he left Wuhan, Tang Qiusheng contacted Le Yiqin, the commander of the ** Division Aviation Corps stationed in Wuhan, and Chang Feng, the chief of staff of the ** Division's direct-affiliated corps stationed in Changsha, Hunan, and informed them of the division commander's plan.

and whereabouts.

Le Yiqin was also anxious, and kept complaining, "Leaving hundreds of thousands of troops and taking only this few people will make everyone worry to death?" It's not surprising that Le Yiqin complained. On the way to visit Germany, he was flying over the Black Sea.

The scene that happened still made him break out in cold sweat when he thought about it. His own death was nothing, but if something went wrong with the teacher, Le Yiqin didn't dare to think about it.

"Deputy commander, what do you think we should do?" Le Yiqin asked Tang Qiusheng for advice, "Yiqin, your aviation unit should do this. Two fighter squadrons are in take-off mode at any time. The guard battalion I sent has anti-aircraft

Contact the radio station and call for aircraft support in case of emergency," Tang Qiusheng said.

Le Yiqin was overjoyed. This was a good idea. He immediately arranged it. He prepared not two, but four squadrons, two fighter squadrons and two bomber squadrons. Only by doing this, he felt more at ease, even if

If the division commander is surrounded by a regiment, he can also open a gap. These bombers assisted by Germany are not vegetarians. They have been tested several times and their power is amazing. Coupled with "Buddha's Light" gasoline bombs, anyone who dares to take advantage of the division commander will be killed.

That's enough life.

Tang Qiuli, who had already entered Hunan, didn't know that for his safety, Tang Qiusheng and Le Yiqin were already very busy and were still thinking about getting rid of the prisoners in the brigade. Shan Hu came over and reported: "Commander, we are approaching Changsha. Are we ready?"

Go to the city to rest?" Tang Qiuli shook his head quickly and joked. After meeting Chang Feng, he asked to add a guard camp and multiple regiments of troops. Should he check the geographical situation and the people's situation or go to war?

"Huzi, send a telegram to Chang Feng and tell him that we are entering Guangxi via Yongzhou, otherwise, this guy will have to smoke in a hurry?" Tang Qiuli ordered Shan Hu, who turned to leave, but was stopped by him again.

"Huzi, following so many troops, you said,

What's going on?" Shan Hu grinned widely. He knew what Tang Qiuli meant, and he also felt unhappy. Whenever he went to a place with so many soldiers, the people would be so scared that they would stay away and avoid anything.

I couldn't find out, but while I was thinking about it, Xiaoqiu also had some thoughts.

"Okay, I'll make the arrangements," Tang Qiuli smiled slyly. Shan Hu was getting smarter and smarter. Just as he was admiring, Mei Xue beside him said: "Qiu Li, why do I think Shan Hu has changed?"

You're so cunning, did I learn it from you?" Tang Qiuli was sweating profusely and was very shocked, but looking at Mei Xue's innocent big eyes, he had to swallow back the harsh words on his lips and said with great gentleness:

"Xue'er, you're not cunning, but you're smart, do you understand?"

After a while, Shan Hu came over, looking a little downcast, followed by a major. Before Tang Qiuli could figure out what was going on, the major stood at attention and saluted, and said with a serious face: "Report to the teacher,*

* Yao Zhiqing, Major and Commander of the Guard Battalion of the Division Sulu Mobile Regiment, came to report and asked for instructions from the division commander."

His eyes glanced at Shan Hu, who spread his hands with a helpless look. Tang Qiuli understood that this matter was difficult. Looking at this Yao Zhiqing, his face was resolute, and he was obviously a very difficult person to adapt to. "This Yao Zhiqing"

Battalion Commander, Captain Huang just said it, just follow his order." When Tang Qiuli said this, he obviously lacked confidence.

"Commander, I'm sorry. Before leaving, the commander repeatedly stated that it is his duty to protect the safety of the division commander and that he must never leave the division commander's side. Zhiqing can ignore the safety of the division commander, but the safety of the division commander must not be compromised. This is Zhiqing's responsibility. I'm sorry.

"I obey," Tang Qiuli swallowed hard, knowing that it would be difficult to convince an officer with such a character. Unexpectedly, Yao Zhiqing sealed the door directly.

But still unwilling to give in, he called Yao Zhiqing aside, seeing that he wanted to chat alone, with an attitude of not giving up until he achieved his goal. Shan Hu looked at the figures of Tang Qiuli and Yao Zhiqing, and disappeared into a small area.

In the woods, Mei Xue couldn't help but ask Mei Xue, who was watching with wide eyes: "Xiaoxue, do you think Xiaoqiu can do it?"

Mei Xue said: "You are more cunning than Qiu Li. You are not good enough, and Qiu Li is even less good." Shanhu was dumbfounded, the boss was depressed, and the dignified Colonel Huang was famous for his honesty and honesty. In the eyes of Mei Xue,

It's synonymous with cunning. Isn't this a huge injustice?
