When Tang Qiuli returned to his residence, it was already midnight, and the lights were still on in the room, for some reason, this light coincided with the lights in the lonely house, pushed the door in, Mei Xue was reading under the orange lamp, this is Mei Xue's habit, as long as Tang Qiuli did not come back, she would keep waiting, especially tonight, her husband was in danger, how could Mei Xue sleep with peace of mind.

Mei Xue raised her head, her bright eyes swept across his face, and gave Tang Qiuli a sweet smile, her expression was indescribably relaxed and cute, and then, she found that her husband's face was a little pale and his spirit was somewhat trance, Mei Xue immediately jumped out of bed in surprise, rushed to Tang Qiuli's side with a fragrant wind, and reached out to her husband's forehead to test the temperature, but she didn't find anything unusual, but she clearly saw a trace of confusion and melancholy in her husband's eyes.

"Xue'er, I'm tired today, let's rest early," Tang Qiuli said, reluctantly smiled at Mei Xue, stretched out his hand and turned off the lamp, I don't know why, he didn't want Mei Xue to see his strange appearance today, this night, Tang Qiuli didn't sleep well at all, as soon as he closed his eyes, his mind was full of overlapping figures of Liu Xinlan and Xiaoling, as well as the clusters of stubborn flames in the depths of his eyes, as well as the Northeast Baishi Mountain, the empty tomb, the pistol, and the heartbroken night.

Mei Xue didn't sleep well, she had been with her husband for many years, Mei Xue instinctively felt that her husband had something on her mind today, and it was a very heavy matter, she didn't know what happened to her husband this night, and she didn't want to ask, but her husband's demeanor made her worry and made him feel heartache, Tang Qiuli seemed to be whispering constantly in her dreams.

It seems that one dream after another is constantly entangled with him, Mei Xue put her plump body tightly against her husband's body. To use the breath of youth to warm every dream of her husband and his chaotic heart in the dream, it was not until it was almost dawn that Tang Qiuli slept a little more steadily, and Mei Xue finally breathed a sigh of relief and fell asleep tiredly.

"Divisional commander, divisional commander." The low voice of the call woke Tang Qiuli awake. He opened his eyes suddenly, it was already bright outside the window, and Mei Xue beside him was still sleeping sweetly, just. kept frowning slightly, pulled the quilt for his wife lovingly, got up and dressed, pushed open the door, and a breath of fresh air instantly penetrated his heart and spleen. But his brain still has the dream of last night, and he is a little dizzy.

Chen Feng, director of communications, holding a telegram. Said apologetically: "Division commander, Chang Feng, chief of staff of the directly subordinate corps, sent an urgent telegram that the Japanese army is in southern Guizhou and has launched a full-front attack on the Central Army," Tang Qiuli's mind suddenly sobered up, and he hurriedly asked: "What day is today?" Chen Feng was stunned, the division commander had never asked such a simple question. He has a strong sense of time, what's going on today? "June 23rd." Chen Feng replied succinctly.

Tang Qiuli didn't notice Chen Feng's strange expression, and muttered "June 18th" thoughtfully in his mouth. Open Chang Feng's telegram, "Division commander, at 4:30 a.m. today, the Japanese troops divided into three routes, from the direction of Dushan, Ziyun, and Guanling in southern Qiannan, launched an attack on the Central Army on all fronts. ”

Tang Qiuli looked at his watch, it was now nearly eight o'clock, that is to say, the Japanese had been fighting for three and a half hours, and the three places where the battle took place were all outpost fortresses in Guiyang, and the Japanese were going to take Guiyang and open up the passage to attack Chongqing in the north.

"Telegraph to Changfeng, pay close attention to the movements of the Japanese army, by the way, find out which troops are the attacking Japanese troops, is there a telegram from Chongqing?" Tang Qiuli asked, Chen Feng shook his head, too, the Central Army can still withstand it, Chairman Jiang will not open his mouth to himself lightly, it involves the issue of face.

"Also, order Tang Qiusheng's Sulu Mobile Corps to advance westward from Changsha, to Huaihua and Jishou in Xiangxi, and Enshi in western Hubei to survey the road conditions leading to Chongqing and prepare to rescue Chongqing," Chen Feng left in a hurry, Tang Qiuli had to take precautions and place a main force near Chongqing, in case the central army collapsed for thousands of miles, Chongqing would be like a ripe peach, and let the Japanese pick it.

Chongqing is lost, and the attention of the whole country will be shifted to their heads, holding heavy troops, but not helping them, and watching the government move the capital again.

The Japanese army attacking the two divisions in Yunnan may bring great pressure to Long Yun, and Terauchi Shouichi's plan is obvious, attacking Chongqing from both sides, but it doesn't look like it, from Yunnan to Chongqing, it is to seek the near and far, and it is mostly mountainous, and the Japanese army's marching speed cannot be improved at all, I am afraid that the Japanese army attacking from Guizhou has already reached the city of Chongqing, and the Japanese army attacking from Yunnan is still climbing in the mountains and mountains in southwest Sichuan.

Tang Qiuli couldn't guess the intention of Terauchi Shou's troops to attack Yunnan, and if he had to say a reason, it could only be determined that the Japanese army of these two divisions was to attack Southeast Asia on a large scale in the future, to build a front station, to control the Sino-Burmese and Sino-Vietnamese borders, and to establish a transportation line.

In the end, the Japanese still got up with the idea of Britain, France, the United States, and other countries in the traditional areas of influence, and the situation in the world could not be changed, and within China, everything was carried out according to Tang Qiuli's prediction, and the Japanese took Yunnan, occupied Guangxi, and attacked Chongqing in order to conduct large-scale operations with the British and French armies in Southeast Asia and establish a solid rear base.

It's just that Tang Qiuli will not let them realize this wishful thinking of the Japanese, once the war in Europe officially breaks out, the Japanese will shift their attention to Southeast Asia, and all the corps of the independent division in the south will be thrown into the attack on the Japanese army in China, and all the Japanese troops will be driven abroad, where is the battlefield where Tang Qiuli competes with the Japanese.

Tang Qiuli simply ate some breakfast, and just arrived at the office, Shanhu came in to report, Xiao Hanqian asked to see him outside, he hurriedly said: "Huzi, please invite him in," Xiao Hanqian came in, and gave Tang Qiuli a new feeling, just one night, Xiao Hanqian's mental state has undergone a fundamental change, sweeping away the decadent Tang and his heart like ashes, the whole person seems to be refreshed, perhaps, untied the block in his heart, he figured out a lot of things.

Xiao Hanqian bowed slightly and said: "Vice Chairman Tang, Han Gan stayed up all night last night, thinking about a lot of things, for your appointment, Han Gan sincerely accepted it, but I don't know how much power Vice Chairman Tang gave Han Gan," Sure enough, he is a cheerful person, without flattery, and without false polite words, he wants power when he opens his mouth, that is, Xiao Hanqian can do it."

Tang Qiuli looked at Xiao Hanqian calmly, neither gave up his seat, nor was he too enthusiastic, and said lightly: "Brother Han Qian, I have given you all the responsibilities and authority of the Guangdong Provincial Government, there is only one requirement, during your reign, the economy and culture of Guangdong Province, as well as various undertakings, must make great progress, and become a stable rear base for my independent division. ”

Xiao Hanqian was stunned for a moment, obviously he didn't expect that Tang Qiuli would be so refreshing, this is fully authorized, and then, with a reserved smile, no one else interferes indiscriminately, why is it difficult to govern Guangdong well? So, he bowed again and said, "Thank you Vice Chairman Tang for your trust in Han Qian, Han Qian will definitely live up to expectations, and in a few days, there will be a detailed plan to be presented," "Okay, Qiuli is also looking forward to Brother Han Qian's big hand," Tang Qiuli said with a smile.

Guangdong is close to Hong Kong and Macao, and is a well-known commercial port in the world, and if Xiao Hanqian's economic development plan did not take this factor into account, Tang Qiuli would not mind transferring personnel from the Dingbian Economic Development Bureau to set up a special department in Guangdong for foreign trade in order to collect money for the independent division.

Xiao Hanqian said goodbye and left, Tang Qiuli picked up the phone, "Is it Chen Han?" Come to me," and after a while, a jeep "crunched" at the entrance of the Guangzhou garrison headquarters, and Colonel Chen Han, commander of the Second Brigade of the Niangziguan Garrison Corps of the Independent Division, hurriedly jumped out of the car.

Last night, Chen Han was so busy that his feet hit his head, Yu Han's miscellaneous team, there were seven or eight thousand people disarmed, just looking for a place to detain these guys, it was quite troublesome, and those officers had to be interrogated separately, Chen Hanke had never done such a job, his eyes were black, Niu Shuangquan, the commander of the Eighth Brigade, was the same as him, leading troops to fight was an expert, and there was no way to start such a thing.

There was no way, the two of them muttered, ready to complain to the division commander, the phone called the Nanyue Hotel, it happened to be the call received by Shanhu, and they were happy when they heard it, and said: "You two really don't know how to open their brains, the Intelligence Department and the Investigation Department are veterans in doing this, you don't want to look for Shen Jun and Yu Deshui, but you want to find the division commander, and you are not afraid of being trained?" ”

A word woke up the dreamer, Chen Han and Niu Shuangquan found Shen Jun and Yu Deshui, and were blackmailed by the two independent division agent leaders, and were forced to take two command knives at the level of Japanese generals, Shen Jun and Yu Deshui followed Chen Han and Niu Shuangquan to the army station with satisfaction.

When I went in, the two brigade commanders were angry, the agents of the Intelligence Department and the Investigation Department had already taken over this work, the officers and soldiers of the Second Brigade and the Eighth Brigade only had to lead people, and the efficiency was extremely high, Chen Han and Niu Shuangquan were fooled, Shen Jun and Yu Deshui were triumphant, today, Chen Han came to see the division commander, full of plans, afraid that he would return the corps system and have combat missions, so Chen Han was somewhat impatient.
