Chapter 299: The Way of the Other

The departure on the position became very quiet, this order was unexpected by others, the chief of staff hesitated, saw that Tang Qiuli's face was wrong, and immediately went to convey the order.

The most surprising was Tian Erniu, he thought that he could avoid death, it was already a great creation, but he never thought that in the blink of an eye, he would become the battalion commander, and that was a big official in charge of five hundred brothers

He almost suspected that he was dreaming, and pinched his thigh so hard that it hurt him so hard that he grinned, and then he believed it was the real thing, and grinned.

The brothers under him cheered in unison, and the soldiers around him slapped their palms red, Tian Erniu is a celebrity of the 258th Regiment, and they all know that he has good military skills, and he is intimate with his brothers, and many soldiers from other classes want to be transferred to Tian Erniu's class.

And Qin Youliang and Liu Defu were like a puddle of mud, paralyzed on the ground, and were escorted into the car by the soldiers of the special guards.

Liu Defu can't do it, his face is pale, what he relies on is Qin Youliang, and now this backer has also fallen, as far as the things he usually does, once it is verified, it is enough to shoot him twice.

Tang Qiuli appointed these two people on the spot, not on a whim or to show off his authority.

Chen Chuan, deputy commander of the 258th Regiment, he has been in contact with him several times, and has a deep impression of him, he is a very capable young officer, he does not talk much, he can always get to the point, just because he insisted on sending an undercover post under Qin Youliang's opposition, he is qualified to serve as the commander of the 258th Regiment.

And Tian Erniu, although Tang Qiuli was in contact for the first time, just when Tian Erniu saluted just now, the moment he met his gaze, Tang Qiuli saw a kind of sincerity from Tian Erniu's simple face, his eyes flashed with spirituality and shrewdness, and he was as pure as a baby, this is a person with inner beauty, but not insidious and cunning.

Tian Erniu's gaze moved Tang Qiuli in an instant, especially when listening to other soldiers tell what happened, the love for their squad leader was beyond words, and a person who loves soldiers like a son can lead a good army.

Tang Qiuli firmly believed in his decision today, the 258th Regiment, under the leadership of Chen Chuan and Tian Erniu, would definitely become a fist unit of the 29th Army.

Later facts proved that Tang Qiuli's original decision was correct, and the 258th Regiment really grew into a unit with strong combat effectiveness, and in the sequence of the 29th Army, it was famous for its courage in combat and excellent discipline, and it was not much inferior to an ordinary team of the Independent Division.

Deputy regiment commander Chen Chuan hurriedly ran over, covered with mud and haggard, it was the chief of staff of the military department, and he knew that the army commander was here, and that there had been such a big personnel change in the regiment.

Chen Chuan's life in the 258th Regiment was not going well, the former regiment commander Qin Youliang excluded and made things difficult for him in many ways, and Liu Defu did not take him as the deputy regiment commander in his eyes, Chen Chuan gritted his teeth and endured it, and did his best to consider the safety of the troops within his authority.

The 258th Regiment's various fortifications, air defenses, and artillery holes were all under his best efforts to achieve today's scale, and Qin Youliang suspected that he was in the way at the regiment headquarters, so he sent him away on the pretext that the third battalion needed on-site command.

Chen Chuan made a detailed report to the army commander on the defense arrangements, fortification construction, troop allocation, and firepower point arrangement of the whole regiment in an orderly manner; Tang Qiuli admired this work style, praised him, and analyzed in detail with him the real purpose of the Japanese army's action last night.

Chen Chuan said with certainty: "Junzao, the Japanese want to make a fake show, take the opportunity to seize our position, and further threaten Wanping City, because the defense area of our regiment happens to be the flank of Wanping, if the Japanese want to seize Wanping and block our only passage, Lugou Bridge, they must first take our position." ”

Tang Qiuli completely agreed with Chen Chuan's analysis, he suddenly had an idea, and decided not to rush to other troops first, just stay in the 258th Regiment for a few days, have a good time with the Japanese, and see who has good acting skills.

In the evening, the chief of staff wanted to speak and stopped, as if there was something that was not easy to say, and it was very difficult, and under Tang Qiuli's questioning, the chief of staff told the truth.

It turned out that Qin Youliang was the brother of Song Zheyuan, the current deputy commander of the 29th Army, a veteran of the army, and the old army commander, and Qin Dechun's own nephew.

This is the old army commander in order to take care of the friendship of Deputy Army Commander Qin, only agreed, today the military seat you removed his nephew from his post to investigate, Deputy Army Commander Qin's heart and face, will definitely not be able to pass, thinking that you have just arrived in the 29th Army, you will take the old man's relatives to open the way, this is to eliminate dissidents, clear the way for yourself to take charge of the 29th Army.

After the chief of staff finished speaking, his face was full of worry, he really did not want to see a split within the 29th Army.

Tang Qiuli smiled indifferently, this level of relationship, he had already considered it, before he led the 29th Army, he found out the various relationships within the army, the concern of the chief of staff was completely out of concern for himself, this is Director Wang, he is a very loyal and precise person, he reminded himself like this, he was afraid of the intensification of the contradictions.

Tang Qiuli said with a smile: "Director Wang, don't worry about it, if you don't move the stone, he won't run away by himself, for the future of the 29th Army, sometimes you have to take decisive measures, Deputy Commander Qin, I will say it personally, I believe he will understand." ”

The words hidden in his heart didn't say, if you Lao Qin didn't measure up to himself, came out to fight a horizontal cannon, indiscriminately, and stood out for your nephew who was not angry, I would even move you away, don't let those guys with ulterior motives, eat empty quotas, and drink the blood of soldiers, use you as the backbone and shield, and push the cart everywhere.

Of course, these words can only be hidden in his heart, Qin Dechun recognizes the shape clearly, and he is still a respected veteran, otherwise, he is the first object of my Tang Qiuli's purge, maybe, Qin Youliang drinks a little wine, does not understand military affairs, and even absurd, Tang Qiuli can tolerate him for a while, after all, he has just actually been in charge of the 29th Army, and the practice of a son of heaven and a courtier is something he has always hated.

However, when it comes to important military incidents related to the safety of the entire North China, Qin Youliang is so insensitive, regarded it as child's play, this Tang Qiuli absolutely cannot allow, putting this kind of person in the front-line army will miss a major matter, he must make up his mind, even if he openly breaks with the veterans of the 29th Army, he will not hesitate to do so.

The next day, he sent a platoon of soldiers of the guard brigade to escort Qin Youliang and Liu Defu back to Beiping, and he specially told the platoon commander who led the team to escort the two goods directly to the inspection department of the Pingjin Garrison Headquarters, and handed them over to Director Mei Ting for personal interrogation, so that the evidence must be obtained, and the inspection department will be responsible for carrying out the internal rectification of the 29th Army.

This is a move he considered, from this breakthrough, and then start the comprehensive rectification of the 29th Army, but also to the patriarchal faction is a clear signal, the war is imminent, we can't let people like Qin Youliang and Liu Defu stay in the army, they will be a scourge sooner or later.

He wrote a letter and handed it to the platoon commander, telling him that he must personally hand it over to Director Mei.

This is also the experience he learned from later generations, if you want to bring down a person, you can't see your political achievements, whether you are loyal to the country, whether you are responsible for your own work, it is a boundless matter, only banknotes and women, you can check it, and you can't run away.

Putting down this matter, Tang Qiuli is currently thinking about how to teach the Japanese army on the opposite side a lesson, and he can't really do it, and he won't go off the rails, otherwise, he will always be remembered by the Japanese, the 258th Regiment will suffer a big loss sooner or later, and waiting for the Japanese to come to the door is not Tang Qiuli's character.

He is quite brain-screwed, this kind of thing is a delicate work of walking a tightrope, if one is not good, he can flash his feet, he is not afraid of the Japanese, and dealing with the old man in Nanjing makes him very nerve-wracking.

After receiving a telegram from Liu Tiehan, he led the 3rd Independent Brigade Han Tiebu and the 2nd Cavalry Brigade Tong Batu Division, totaling more than 16,000 troops, to arrive near Wanping, asking for instructions on whether to continue to advance and make peace with the 38th Division of the 29th Army, and Zheng Yong's Division of the 1st Artillery Brigade arrived at the same time.

After receiving Liu Tiehan's telegram, Tang Qiu was happy, this old man, he acted fast enough, he ran more than 300 kilometers in a day and a night, Tong Batu's cavalry brigade was okay to say, people are four-legged, Han Tie's are all infantry, enough for them, especially Zheng Yong's troops, but they are all big guys, how did they arrive at the same time?

Tang Qiuli guessed wrong this time, after receiving the telegram from the division commander to urgently reinforce the 258th Regiment near Wanping, Liu Tiehan immediately understood that the division commander had no choice, otherwise, he could not mobilize the troops of the independent division from afar.

Liu Tiehan compared on the map for a long time, so many troops, plus the heavy equipment of Zheng Yong's artillery brigade, could not reach the designated position within two days in any case, but he was worried.

This kung fu, the logistics minister Zhang Quan came in, saw the deputy division commander worried, and inquired, Zhang Quanle was happy, it turned out to be this matter, easy to do, some time ago, didn't the logistics department import 500 trucks from abroad, that are all big guys, can carry things of all ages.

Immediately after that, the logistics department held two pilot training courses in the Huangyadong base area, and the enthusiasm of the soldiers was unprecedentedly high, and they had never fiddled with this foreign thing since their ancestors, and if they had the opportunity, it was not easy to learn, and now, there were six or seven hundred soldiers who could drive cars in each field brigade.

In this way, on the back of the car, the artillery of various calibers of the Zheng Yong Artillery Brigade, the Third Independent Brigade and the artillery were all put on the car, and all kinds of ammunition and baggage were moved to the car, and Liu Tiehan reinforced the troops of the 258th Regiment, which immediately became a rapid reaction force composed of infantry, artillery, and cavalry.
