Chapter 66: Overture of the Eastern Expedition

Foreign enemies invade, mountains and rivers are broken, and wars are rife, happy times are always so short, life is rarely a gathering, but there are many separations.

Qiuquan's special combat reconnaissance team and Qiusheng's intelligence network continuously transmit the surrounding information back to the base. After being sorted out by Qiusheng and Zhu Jing, they were sent to Tang Qiuli regularly for him to judge the situation.

As early as when the troops finished the Yingzui Ridge battle and returned to the base to reorganize, Tang Qiuli sent all Qiuquan's troops out, with Songjiang City and Sancha River as the center, radiating hundreds of kilometers around, collecting various intelligences widely, and establishing intelligence stations in important towns and transportation hubs. Whether arranging their own soldiers or relatives or bribing them with money, in short, an intelligence network covering the entire Northeast must be established, and Qiu Sheng and Qiuquan are responsible for this matter.

As for the funds required, just look for Zhang Quanling. As the saying goes, money is easy to do! After a period of preparation, intelligence outlets in various places have been improved one after another. Some important intelligence center stations are also equipped with radio stations, and the communication center of the base intelligence and security department remains continuous for 24 hours. It can be said that the telegram manuscripts can be placed in Tang Qiuli's hands within eight hours of important events in the Northeast.

During this period, Tang Qiuli lived a relatively comfortable life. According to the principle of hierarchical responsibility, he no longer needed to intervene in detailed affairs, so he could have a lot of time to consider the next battle focus and development direction of the troops.

The relationship with Xiaoling became deeper and deeper, and the water melted, and often had the "integrity and understanding" behavior. Xiaoling is a girl who is easy to learn and motivated. The hospital affairs are handled in an orderly manner and have a lot of simple medical knowledge. Tang Qiuli also took time to teach her English and Japanese. I have to say that this girl is born with language talent and can now have daily conversations with Tang Qiuli in simple English or Japanese.

Sometimes, Tang Qiuli said some love words between lovers to Xiaoling in front of the big guy, such as, you are very sexy, melted into your gentleness last night, etc. Others were stunned and didn't understand at all, and they all muttered secretly, could the commander be a god descending to earth? I haven't heard where he learned the birds in there? Even Qiu Sheng and Shanhu were puzzled, Xiaoling could understand? Of course, Xiaoling could understand, and was so happy that she was shy and happy, with a blushing face. Sometimes she answered a few words, making everyone look at the little lovers more mysterious. Although she didn't understand what they were saying, she guessed that she was always indifferent when she saw Xiaoling's expression. It was probably a bit ambiguous and not suitable for children!

He didn't have to worry about the training of the troops. The Red Army cadres led by Li Honggang and the cadres led by Liu Tiehan and Feng Jiwu, who were from the former Northeast Army, had a very harmonious relationship with each other, and there was no distinction between you and me at all. They led the troops together. Later, Tang Qiuli thought about it carefully and made it reasonable. First of all, the goals of both sides were consistent, which was to eliminate the Japanese devils and recover lost territory. Secondly, the Northeast Army and the Red Army did not meet on the battlefield, and the two sides could not talk about blood feud. This made Tang Qiuli feel relieved and relieved his worries.

The rich food has brought the soldiers' bodies well and their faces are covered with a good nutritional oil. It is also true that when I was at home, I had such a good meal, but I couldn't even drive away with a whip. The scientific, systematic, and effective training have made the soldiers' military skills a qualitative leap, and the morale is strong, and the team is screaming!

The entire blood hand group is like a sword that is re-quenched and tempered again, showing its sharpness, and it is a single move to cut off the Japanese dog's head!

Through the information sent back, Tang Qiuli has a clear understanding of the form around the base. The Japanese Matsuda United retreated back to Songjiang City since the last time he suffered a devastating blow in Yingzui Ridge and was busy replenishing troops and equipment. The old Japanese Matsuda Colonel Matsuda has been dismissed and is said to have been escorted back to the country to go to the military court, which is also thanks to Tang Qiuli.

After the Battle of Yingzui Ridge, the Japanese Kwantung Army Command realized that the South Manchuria was not a place of peace and the Imperial Army had to increase its strength. After the Japanese were replenished, the original corps was expanded into a brigade, with a force of more than 7,000, and the number of chariots and field artillery brigades was increased. The new brigade commander was named Shunta, who was a senior staff officer of the Kwantung Army Command. He had been in the Northeast for many years and had the rank of major general. When he took office, he had spread his eyes and searched everywhere for the whereabouts of the Blood Hand Regiment, saying that he wanted to avenge the Jade-scrambled Imperial Army soldiers.

Tang Qiuli smiled slightly about these situations. The Japanese are now like crazy bulls with red eyes. There is no need to fight him. Let the Japanese blind men walk in the maze and touch them randomly. I am here to accumulate energy and have the chance to bite you hard.

In Sancha River, after Tang Qiuli's last robbery, Japanese merchants went bankrupt one after another. Chinese merchants were afraid of the revenge of the Japanese, and they also transferred their property one after another. Japanese merchants could not grab anything, so they put the blame on the unlucky Matsuda. In Sancha River, the market is in a slump and all industries are withering. In order to maintain this important transportation and material transfer station, the Japanese banks have to adopt a policy of gentleness against the Chinese. Japanese banks have issued interest-free loans, reduced taxes, supported Japanese and Chinese-funded trade, and worked hard to restore the economy, so that the Chinese people have gained a lot of advantages. Despite this, conservative estimates, if Sancha River wants to restore to its original level, it will take at least five years. This is an unexpected result that Tang Qiuli could not have imagined. He laughed secretly and waited for you to maintain it for five years. After more than a year, Mr. Tang will take another prescription and get a lot of money.

The Japanese increased their troops in Sancha River. In addition to restoring the original military police brigade, they also added a strengthening brigade of Japanese devils, and forcibly implemented a population registration system in the town.

Based on these information, Tang Qiuli believes that at present, the troops should not carry out large-scale military operations, and it is advisable to keep a hidden standby.

However, there was an intelligence from Tonghua that attracted his attention. Shao Benliang, the commander-in-chief of the East Road of the South Manchuria, with the cooperation of the Japanese "mountain forest crusade team" and aircraft, besieged Yang Jingyu's troops in the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces First Route Army. It is said that they have achieved a major victory. The Yang army was defeated and fled into the deep mountains and forests. The imperial army has restored the security of the Changbai Mountain area in the east road of the South Manchuria.

The information also gave a detailed introduction to the enemy situation, form, and the troops, weapons and equipment of Shao Benliang's troops in the Changbai Mountain area.

After reading this information, Tang Qiuli first sneered at the so-called major victory of the Japanese. The Anti-Japanese Allied Forces could be eliminated so easily? Despite the difficulties and the environment was dangerous, the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces always insisted on fighting between the white mountains and black waters and constantly attacking the Japanese.

Tang Qiuli was full of respect for General Yang Jingyu. When he saw information about this legendary general in his previous life, his throat was choked with a heat flow. This was a Chinese man with iron and blood! He felt regret for General Yang's sacrifice.

Now, General Yang's troops are in a difficult time. Why don't he take an expedition? He stabbed the Japanese in the back. One is to break the siege of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, and destroy the Japanese everywhere. Second, he can see whether this legendary general who has been intimidated by his arrival will change his future destiny because of his arrival? When he thinks of this, he feels an uncontrollable impulse in his heart, and he wishes he will fly to the battlefield with fire and passion.

He calmed down his excitement and considered the problem in all aspects. Since the troops are currently in a hidden standby situation, why not take the initiative to go out and look for fighter jets? With the army's training level, the physical fitness and equipment status of the soldiers, and with his own understanding of history, he can definitely win by surprise, fight the Japanese without any hesitation, and ensure the troops' safe return.

Thinking of this, he had already made up his mind and asked the correspondent to notify commanders at all levels and immediately go to the war room for a meeting, with important combat tasks.

He first came to the war room and stared at the full picture of Manchuria hanging on the wall. This full picture of the Northeast drawn by the Japanese was much more accurate than that of the government of the Republic of China. It can be seen that the Japanese had already had the intention of occupying the Northeast. The little symbols on the map turned into vivid white mountains and black waters, vast forests, mountains and rivers in his mind. Combined with the history he had mastered, everything was clear, which strengthened his confidence.

After a moment, a burst of rapid footsteps came. Tang Qiuli shook his head and smiled. He could hear the footsteps. It was Shanhu, who was impatient. There was another one behind him. It must be Bater. Since these two guys became the commander-in-chief and deputy captain of the guards, they were inseparable that day. They were like a mother who gave birth to them. I don’t know why they were so versus the temper. They were both amazingly strong, rough on the outside, delicate on the inside, generous and unrestrained, with affection and righteousness, and quick-responsive people, when they partnered, they were very particular about the road.

Since the formation of the guard, they have trained the soldiers of the guard to complain, saying that they are more perverted than the commander, such as long and short gun shooting, the use of various artillery, the tricks of cold weapons, internal strength, martial arts training, etc., and have put in a lot of effort.

Not to mention, the twenty soldiers of the guard really made them trained to become the elite of the entire army. They also pulled the team out from time to time and held confrontation exercises with the soldiers of various troops. After several rounds, only Qiuquan's special forces could tie the directly guard, which made the directly guard famous and in full swing!

Bartel is fifteen years old this year. Tang Qiuli has a kind of heartfelt pity for this brother of the opposite sex. He specifically put it beside him. When the opportunity matures, he will be placed in the combat troops.

After they came in, Liu Tiehan came in. He was impatient again. In fact, Liu Tiehan was holding his energy in his heart. The troops were already screaming. Why didn’t the commander issue a combat mission? He also asked Tang Qiuli indirectly several times. The commander always answered him by waiting for the actual aircraft. After all, he was depressed. This was a person who couldn’t stop and did not rush on the battlefield, which made him sore all over his bones.

Today, there was an important combat mission on one end. I raised my legs and ran to the combat room. As soon as I entered the door, I found that there were some more anxious generals, the second generals of the Guard, who were directly under the guard, were already here.

Soon, all the people arrived. Tang Qiuli first analyzed the enemy situation around him. Judging from the current situation, our strength is still at an absolute weakness and cannot compete with the Japanese head-on. The battle between Sanchahe and Yingzui Ridge took advantage of the unexpected attack. In addition to the Japanese's arrogance, they won. Now, the best strategy is to stop the enemy in this area, and to standby the Internet and train the team.

When everyone heard the commander say this, he felt a little disappointed. There was no war, why did you call everyone over here in a hurry? He also said that there are important combat missions!

Tang Qiuli saw everyone's reactions and felt very satisfied. The army exists for war. This state of active war seeking is the basic element of maintaining the high fighting spirit of the army, especially commanders at all levels.

We have no possibility of annihilation of enemies in this area. So, should we go out to find fighter jets? He said, putting our hands on the location of Changbai Mountain on the map. We went on a long expedition and attacked the Changbai Mountain area. Unexpectedly, we eliminated the Japanese in large numbers. There was only one fundamental purpose, that is, to remove the siege of the First Route Army of the Anti-Japanese United Army as the goal of this battle.

He continued: "Next, let's discuss the specific details of the operation based on the purpose of this combat. After the meeting, Chief Feng will formulate a detailed combat plan!"

As soon as Tang Qiuli finished speaking, the war room immediately lost its peace. First, Li Honggang was so excited that his face turned red, he stood up suddenly, and asked in an incredible expression: "Commander, is this true?" As soon as he finished speaking, he realized his disobedience and quickly said sorry.

Tang Qiuli nodded firmly at him.

As soon as he sat down, the Red Army cadres seemed extremely excited, and some even had tears in their eyes, and Zhu Jing actually burst into tears on the spot.

Tang Qiuli deeply understood their feelings. The Anti-Japanese Allied Forces and the Red Army of Workers and Peasants were all teams led by **. In this organization, treating each unit is not like other warlords, with direct descendants and closeness. This decision has deeply touched them.

In fact, Li Honggang and Zhu Jing were very uneasy these days. The information of the Blood Hand Regiment was not confidential about these senior commanders. They had long known that the First Route Army of the Anti-Japanese United Army was besieged by a large number of Japanese and puppet troops. Many of them were working in the Anti-Japanese United Army and fighting, and had deep feelings for the troops. They had thought of leading the troops. However, the troops were in the hands of the commander and thought of persuading the commander to send troops, but they also considered whether the commander would be suspicious and affecting the work of this troops in the future? After all, they were going to face the enemy with superior forces, and it was a long-distance expedition. From here to the Changbai Mountain area, it would probably be nearly a thousand miles.

Just when they were confused and worried, the commander made this decision. How could they not be excited? That would be to save their comrades and comrades!

Liu Tiehan and Feng Jiwu had another feeling. They had never dealt with the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, but they admired the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces' resolute anti-Japanese behavior. After all, everyone is the top Chinese, and it is the duty of a soldier to defend his country.

The performance of Li Honggang and Zhu Jing touched their hearts. They knew that these commanders from the Red Army and the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces were a family, and they were both **. They were so excited when they heard that they were going to rescue the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, and even shed tears. This surprised them. In the past troops, when they heard that they were thankless and dangerous tasks, the commander of the troops did not push back and find all kinds of excuses to shirk their strength and preserve their strength. Now, they were shocked by this scene, and they felt an indescribable feeling in their hearts, quietly shaking their already established hearts.

Soon, the plan for the Eastern Expedition was determined. Seven days later, the three combat brigades were 2,400 people, all filled with personnel, and officially set off. First, a brigade sent a squadron as the forerunner of the large army, and set out one day in advance to open up a road for the subsequent troops.

Next, the troops began intensive preparations. The team of more than 2,000 people, ammunition and supplies were not small. In particular, the commander emphasized the firepower density, so the ammunition had to be brought more. This time it was a long-distance battle, without any supply from the rear. If you fight a little, you would consume a little. If you can take more, you should take as much as possible.

Tang Qiuli took time to go to the arsenal. Before that, he asked Wang Xu to find a way to reduce the total weight of the Type 92 infantry cannons, which would make it easier for the troops to carry. At this point, the arsenal technicians really solved the problem. The cannons that originally required five or six people to carry separately are now only two or three people. Tang Qiuli seemed very happy and yelled to remember great contributions to all the arsenal staff and give bonuses, saying that it solved the major problems of the troops.

In addition, several technicians in the factory worked together to design an uninterrupted ultra-long ammunition chain and bullet box for Shanhu, which can fire three thousand rounds of bullets in a row without changing the magazine. If it weren't for the long-term shooting, the barrel would not be able to stand it, and they would also want to design the equipment for 5,000 rounds of ammunition. Shanhu's portable heavy machine gun was equipped with an air-cooling device, and some minor changes were made.

The tiger took it over and jumped up with joy, saying that it was better than before and more suitable. When the guy was excited, he gave a warm bear hug to a master on the spot. OK, the master almost passed away, and his rib bones were so hungry that he was broken by this perverted guy! It is said that after the fight, he was far away when he saw the tiger and did not dare to let the tiger get close to him. However, the two became good friends. Every time the tiger fought, they got new things back on the battlefield and sent them to him first. Then, the two of them took them apart and installed them, and then they opened them. After that, they developed several new weapons.

Tang Qiuli saw the super-large ammunition backpack behind Shanhu, which should have contained no less than 10,000 bullets, a circle of grenades hanging on his body, and a heavy machine gun in his hand, making him look like a Transformer! He was speechless at the time and felt depressed!

The nervous and busy life makes life go by quickly, and tomorrow is the time for the troops to set off.

Tang Qiuli woke up early on this day, without alarming her side, Xiaoling, who was still sleeping like a cute kitten, quietly walked out of their love nest. The whole base was quiet, and it was the darkest moment before dawn. The warm wind gently stroked her cheeks. The birds had not left the nest, but only the footsteps of the sentry patrolling loyally.

He stood quietly in the dark night, waiting for the rise of the star of the East.

The sound of footsteps came from behind, and a soft body leaned gently against him, and Xiaoling still woke up.

This time, Xiaoling did not set out with the team. The hospital was under intense construction and she couldn't escape. Another experienced doctor led a team to form a medical team and set out with the troops. Facing Tang Qiuli who was about to leave, Xiaoling felt very disappointed.

She was a smart girl and knew that when her lover walked onto the battlefield, she could only give him encouragement and comfort. Therefore, she was very understanding of not following Tang Qiuli to go to war this time, which really made Tang Qiuli feel a lot.

Inside, Xiaoling found Shanhu and Bartel and repeatedly told them to protect the commander on the battlefield. She didn't feel relieved until the two of them patted their chests and promised them.

Tang Qiuli gently hugged Xiaoling's soft waist, and Xiaoling leaned her head on his shoulder. Suddenly, a refreshing fragrance deeply soaked Tang Qiuli's body and mind, and he couldn't help but hug Xiaoling tighter.

In the east sky, a shining star appears slowly, and the new day is coming
