Tang Qiuli dictated the telegram here, paused slightly, calmed down, and then remembered what Yan Xishan BJ had done, and was about to put the troops of the independent division in a situation where they were fighting hard with the superior forces of the Japanese army, and his anger burned again.

The communications staff officer in charge of the record, his hand trembled slightly, the division commander under the anger, his words were like knives, Mei Ting silently looked at the angry husband, and instinctively felt that it seemed inappropriate to talk to a feudal official like this, but she couldn't find a suitable reason to dissuade her, her husband's temper, she knew it very well, and she was really angry, which meant that the situation was very unfavorable. "Chairman Yan, you regard military orders as child's play, ignoring the overall situation, the unified deployment of the Northern Theater of Operations, you dare to disobey the yang and the yin, besides, it is your territory that is protected, what are your intentions in doing this? Could it be that there is an idea of giving up Shanxi to the Japanese? If so, you and your Jin army will become the sworn enemies of our North China Independent Division, and before the Japanese army is destroyed, I will wave my army to take Taiyuan directly, so as not to gain the property of the country and the enemy. ”

"If you don't have the heart to help the enemy, you can especially make amends, I order, the Jin army immediately mobilize fifteen main divisions, no less than 200,000 troops, and strengthen the artillery, urgently rush to the Niangzi Pass area to set up defenses, our North China Independent Division of the troops, for the Jin army to the east to rush to the front line of Niangzi Pass, for two to three days, this order is not repeated, Chairman Yan discretion, vice chairman of the Military Commission of the National Government, chairman of the Beiping Army Branch, commander-in-chief of the Yellow River Basin Theater, army general Tang Qiuli." Under the anger, Tang Qiuli put his title on the list, and told Yan Xishan, how to calculate, you are all my subordinates, a good big battle, stunned to make him passive, if it weren't for his own lack of troops, and the Japanese army pressed on his head, he would really dig out Yan Xishan's old nest Taiyuan, take advantage of the situation to eat hundreds of thousands of Jin troops in one go, and save this old fox from making waves, playing a little cautious from time to time, and making a little moth.

The fire was also sent, the telegram was also sent, and then, I had to face the practical problem, if I held out for more than three days in the periphery of Shijiazhuang, to buy time for Yan Xishan's troop transfer, the Niangziguan defense line, with those two second-rate division troops of the Jin Army, it was almost the same as paper paste, and the Japanese army could kick it away with one foot, and it was the best policy for their own troops to strengthen the Niangziguan defense line, but it was already entangled with the Japanese army, and it was impossible to get out for a while.

All the original plans had to be changed, but fortunately it was the old troops who remained with them, and they were very adaptable to the rapidly changing battle situation, and the deployment was completed according to the new orders, and the troops that were ready to evacuate were silently driven to the front line, followed by a bloody battle for six consecutive days, in front of each brigade, there was an absolute superiority of the Japanese army, and almost all the casualties were caused in the last few days.

At this time, Yan Xishan's reinforcements of Niangzi Pass's troops were still on the way, and the battle situation had not allowed the troops to fight with the Japanese army anymore, Tang Qiuli had to issue an order to retreat, and after a strong active attack, the troops of the six brigades all retreated to the edge of Taihang Mountain, and Tang Qiuli established a command headquarters at the 1st Pass.

There is only one night left for him, Yan Xishan's reinforcements will not be able to reach Niangzi Pass until tomorrow afternoon at the earliest, Tang Qiuli smiled bitterly and shook his head, his own troops are going to plug the hole for this Yan Baichuan, and it is another hard-fought battle, thinking of this, he can't suppress his anger.

In the end, it was decided that Feng Jiwu, deputy division commander, would lead five infantry brigades, three cavalry brigades, and all artillery brigades to rush to Niangziguan to set up defenses, and after Yan Xishan's reinforcements arrived, they would immediately withdraw from the battlefield and wait for concealment in the Jiedu area, preparing to flank the periphery of Shijiazhuang and reduce the pressure on the front of Niangziguan.

The remaining one infantry brigade, two cavalry brigades, and most of the special operations detachment, led by themselves, circled with the Japanese army in the Taihang Mountains, looking for opportunities to annihilate part of the Japanese army.

Feng Jiwu didn't have any opinion on this plan, it was obvious that Niangziguan could not be lost, but on the issue of who should stay in the Taihang Mountains and be responsible for attracting the Japanese army, the two had a serious dispute, and they both knew that the troops left in the Taihang Mountains would be under great pressure, compared to the 400,000 Japanese troops, even if it was more than 100,000 Japanese troops, the troops left behind were pitifully small.

This is a great danger, once it is hoarded by the Japanese army, it will be a desperate breakthrough battle, not to mention, the transfer of mountains to the war, the supply of food and ammunition, it is a big problem, and the wounded cannot be transported in time, such a dangerous task, how can the division commander be able to undertake it, if the division commander and others know, and the spit star does not drown himself, Feng Jiwu's face turned red with excitement.

In the end, Tang Qiuli had to use orders to determine the task, Feng Jiwu took a step back, to leave the strength of two infantry brigades, so that there is also a security guarantee, Tang Qiuli shook his head, attacking the Japanese army in Niangzi Pass, it will not be less than 200,000 troops, even if the troops are all pulled up, it seems that the strength is insufficient, if the Japanese army is dispatched, the number of troops is less, it will be useless.

Before leaving, he summoned Ma Chaoyang, commander of the Second Independent Brigade, Liu Chun, commander of the First Cavalry Brigade, Tong Batu, commander of the Second Cavalry Brigade, and Fu Gang, deputy head of the Special Operations Detachment and captain of the sniper brigade, together under the oil light, Feng Jiwu's eyes sparkled.

He explained in a rare stern tone, even if the troops are exhausted, they must ensure the absolute safety of the division commander, including myself, who can be killed, but the division commander cannot have any accidents, the three brigade commanders and Fu Gang weighed the weight of the deputy division commander's words.

In addition to Tong Batu and Ma Chaoyang, Liu Jian and Fu Gang are all old men of the independent division, and the bloody hand group will follow Tang Qiuli at that time, and the division commander is in the edge of Changbai Mountain in the northeast, and was seriously injured when he was ambushed by the Japanese Muto Mountain Forest Combat Team.

Niangzi Pass is a famous pass of the Great Wall of China, located in the west side of the Taihang Mountains, the west entrance of Jingcheng County, Hebei Province, the foothills of Mianshan Mountain in the northeast of Pingding County, Shanxi Province, formerly known as "Weize Pass", because the third daughter of Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, Princess Pingyang, once led the troops to garrison here, and its troops were the main force of women who were brave and good at fighting no less than men, and they were called "Niangzi Army" at that time, so they got the present name.

Niangzi Pass is the famous pass of the Great Wall, known as the ninth pass of the Great Wall, it is the place where the soldiers of the past dynasties must fight, the four characters of "Gyeonggi Domain" are written on the door hole, showing the importance of Niangzi Pass, the nomads of the Saiwai Plateau have repeatedly invaded the Gyeonggi Stronghold, and Niangzi Pass will be the main target of its capture.

There is a couplet on the cloud: "Who is the most in Xiongguan Baitwo?" The fortress is 3,000 in this name. "The ancient building at the head of the building, the city outside the city of Qingshan under the river." It fully depicts the unique style of this ancient pass, the dangerous terrain, the important position and the beautiful scenery of the natural beauty, it has the title of "the gateway of the three jin" and "the ninth pass in the world".

Niangzi Pass is opposite to the Jing Cheng Pass across the mountain, the same is a military important place, choke the Taihang Mountain Jing Pass, one of the few main passages between Shanxi and Hebei, whether it is to protect Shanxi, or to ensure the safety of Hebei, Niangzi Pass plays an important role, Zhengtai Railway and Jinji Highway are passed through this pass, for the traffic artery, the left hand refers to the Taihang Mountain, the right hand refers to Lu Liang", it shows the importance of the geographical location of Niangzi Pass.

When Tang Qiuli deployed his troops, the frightened Xiangyue Qingji was not idle, he had already learned that the troops attacking Datong from Zhangjiakou were met with stubborn resistance by the main force of the Jin army of Yan Xishan, suffered heavy casualties, and were forced to retreat to Huai'an and Zhangjiakou in Hebei to confront the Jin army.

From the intelligence from the front-line troops in Datong, Xiangyue Qingji learned that more than 90% of the main force of the Jin army is in the direction of Datong, in the area of Niangzi Pass, and the defense of the Jin army must be empty, this is a good opportunity to carry a rare load, even if Yan Xishan is aware, the transfer of troops from the northeast of Jin to the east of Jindong is not a short time to achieve, and it only takes half a day to attack Niangzi Pass from Shijiazhuang.

What is hateful is that Tang Qiuli's independent division forcibly blocked the precious six days, and the original plan to quickly capture Niangzi Pass was forced to be postponed again and again, and he did not dare to divide his troops, for fear that Tang Qiuli would catch the weak link and eat all the way, otherwise, he is now sitting in Yan Xishan's mansion, leisurely drinking sake, and admiring the graceful dance of the geisha?

Xiangyue Qingsi planned to use four divisions, a brigade, three artillery wings, a chariot wing, and a force of about 210,000 people to quickly capture Niangzi Pass, known as the "gateway of the Three Jins", and the troops came to Taiyuan and captured Yan Xishan's lair, and then, part of the troops swept the entire territory of Shanxi, purging the remnants of the Jin army, and part of the troops quickly went south, entering and occupying the Changzhi, Jincheng, and Linzhou areas at the junction of Shanxi and Henan.

Therefore, he ordered the Japanese army on the front line of Datong, not to spare casualties, to maintain a continuous offensive posture against the Jin army in front of him, so that Yan Xishan divided his troops to reinforce the front line of Niangziguan, which was an important part of the battle of Niangziguan.

Tang Qiu left his eyes to see Feng Jiwu's fierce figure, disappeared into the vast night, knowing that his burden was not light, the time was pressing, he walked mostly mountain roads, and he had to carry many artillery and other heavy weapons, he shook his head helplessly, if Yan Xishan followed his own deployment, why would the independent division be difficult to take care of now and exhausted, this Yan Xishan, the abacus was too shrewd, in the end, it was his own interests that were lost, why bother?

He looked at his wife under the shadow of the flickering lamp, already fully armed, carrying a Suomi submachine gun and a pistol hanging from her waist, knowing that she was ready to go through the risks with him, he gently stroked her delicate cheeks, took the Tang Long gun in his hand, and commanded to all the personnel of the command: "Go!" "Be the first to plunge into the dark cold night.

In front of so many people, this is a rare intimate action of her husband, Mei Ting's face is hot, and her heart is filled with tenderness, and a thousand words are in it, and it is God's favor to be able to fight with such a man.

Tang Qiuli, who walked outside the house, immediately felt a biting chill, and after his eyes adjusted to the darkness, he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the scene.
