Chapter 317 Northern Shaanxi Front

The convoy left Xi'an, through Luochuan can already see the slope of the loess, this is the real loess plateau, full of earthy yellow, although in summer, green weeds, can not hide the bare loess.

Occasionally, a row of tall poplars, a village covered by sparse grass and trees, a red pepper dried last year still hanging in front of the cave, an old man with a white sheep's belly towel on his head, looking at the monster-like car in horror, bringing up the yellow dust in the sky, flying by the side.

After years of flowing water, the ancient Loess Plateau has been cut into thousands of ravines, and in each of these ravines, along the shallow river, you will see villages, like grapes, scattered along the side of the small river, scattered in the depths of the ravine.

This is the Loess Plateau, which raised the ancestor of Chinese civilization, as thick and silent as before, but let the years sculpt his face, gradually aging and fragmented.

The convoy passed through Luochuan, and the traces of the war could already be seen, and the soldiers wearing gray and earthy yellow military uniforms gradually increased, and in many places, you could see barracks, barbed wire on the road and sentries with loaded guns.

Because of Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng's special instructions to their respective troops, along the way, Tang Qiuli's convoy did not suffer any difficulties, and every time they arrived at a checkpoint, the highest commander of the garrison personally waited here, with a respectful attitude, and escorted them all the way to the next checkpoint.

The soldiers of the Northeast Army and the Seventeenth Route Army along the way all had a question in their heads, what kind of big man is this? The commander greeted him personally, and what was on the tightly covered car? Despite this, none of the soldiers should open it for inspection.

They were ordered not to ask questions or inspect them, and to let them go.

When the convoy arrived at Ganquan, this was already the real front line, and the position of the Communist Red Army was opposite, but the soldiers of the Northeast Army stationed here did not seem to care too much, and there was no tense atmosphere.

It should be Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng, who reached a partial ceasefire agreement with the Red Army in private, and all the scenes of tense confrontation could not be seen at the forefront, and the soldiers sat listlessly in the trenches, which really made Tang Qiuli doubt, can such soldiers still fight? The Red Army on the opposite side could wipe them all out with a single charge.

When Tang Qiuli got off the car, a division commander surnamed Huang of the Northeast Army personally came to greet him, and the convoy was arranged to Ganquan City, and Division Commander Huang transferred to the division headquarters guard battalion to strictly guard those soldiers who were not honest in their hands and feet from doing some things like chickens and dogs.

Accompanied by Division Commander Huang, Tang Qiu left a position at the forefront, and the soldiers lazily got up and saluted, which was regarded as giving the commander a face, and he suddenly had the urge to observe these Red Army soldiers up close.

In later generations, seeing the image of the Red Army in this period in some film and television works, he could really be on the scene, and the image on the screen appeared vividly in front of him, Tang Qiuli couldn't help but be tempted, mainly because he didn't want to regret it.

He took the binoculars, and in the high-powered telescope lens, the qiē on the opposite side was clearly visible, and he saw the Red Army soldiers opposite, with patches stacked on top of each other on their ragged and colorless uniforms.

The faces that are obviously malnourished have a vegetable color, but their spirit is much better than that of the well-dressed Northeast Army soldiers here, their morale is high, and their bodies are full of spirit.

This is the predecessor of the army, the commander of the Huang division was not at ease, and sent a platoon of guards to protect Tang Qiuli closely, he had to be careful, the young marshal said on the phone, if the guest has a little accident, come and see him.

It may be that there was a different movement from the usual situation on this position, and there was an immediate reaction on the Red Army position, a series of passwords sounded, and the Red Army soldiers entered the position with skillful tactical movements, vigilantly monitoring the abnormal situation on this side.

At the same time, several binoculars observed Tang Qiuli and them, Tang Qiuli secretly praised himself, although the Red Army had been injured in the 25,000-mile battle, but the ones that could be saved were all elites, and the timid people ran away and deserted, and they were not clever enough to die in battle.

For **, the 25,000-mile Long March is a cruel elimination, although it is a loss of the base, but the pure and pure seeds are brought to the Loess Plateau in the northwest, barren land, and landing, rooting, germination, and finally after more than ten years, the red flag is planted all over the white mountains and black waters, Yanzhao land, Mongolian Plateau, the border of the Western Regions, the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, the green Nanyue, Tianfu Chuanguo, Wuzhi Mountain, won the world, and sat firmly on the country.

Tang Qiuli slipped back quietly, he didn't dare to stay any longer, with the superiority of the Red Army generals, it was not difficult to guess that there was a big man on the other side, and a surprise cannonball might have taken his own life

The next day, leaving all the supplies in Ganquan County, Tang Qiuli led the mountain tiger and thirty soldiers of the special guard, all in civilian clothes, carrying only self-defense weapons, leaving Ganquan, going up the Luo River, and marching towards Wuqi Town.

All the fighters didn't even have a heavy weapon, only the mountain tiger never left the hand-held heavy machine gun, which was the only deterrent weapon, Tang Qiuli didn't force the mountain tiger to leave the heavy machine gun, just told him to do a simple disguise.

Where is Professor Ouyang waiting for them, according to the latest news sent back by Professor Ouyang, they have already made a discovery, if there is no special accident, Tang Qiuli's assertion will probably become a reality.

This time, Professor Ouyang was very polite in the telegram, obviously Tang Qiuli's miraculous prophet of the unknown, which completely shocked this erudite and noble old professor, this old man, with a kind of naïve and straightforward personality, he surrendered to the facts.

Along the way, it is not easy to walk, the Loess Plateau in northern Shaanxi at that time, how can there be a decent grade highway, Tang Qiu left them along the side of the Luo River, I don't know what era, the winding path stepped out by the businessmen.

At dusk, we arrived at a small town called Jintang, the town is not big, there are hundreds of families in total, there is only one inn in the town, and there is a kerosene lamp, a long shop, the wall is smoked black by the fireworks of the years, and there is a kind of dilapidated and decaying atmosphere everywhere.

Tang Qiu immediately paid a high price for them to charter all this inn, the boss was so happy that wrinkles filled the corners of his eyes, and hurriedly greeted these gods of wealth, eating and drinking inside and out, although the name of the town is called golden soup, after asking the boss, there is no good place to go.

After a day's march, the soldiers were very tired, Tang Qiuli was even more sore on the soles of his feet, everyone had eaten the special meals of northern Shaanxi style, and rested early.

The mountain tiger muttered for a while, and four groups of warriors and twelve people jumped out of the window with agility, hiding in the darkness without alarming anyone.

Tang Qiuli over there, there was already a slight snoring sound, there was a mountain tiger, Tang Qiuli never asked about the warning, the mountain tiger was more concerned than him, he just slept peacefully.

In the second half of the night, the soldiers who had put a secret guard outside suddenly withdrew, and the mountain tiger was suddenly awakened and hurriedly asked what was going on.

The soldiers said that the town was surrounded, and looking at the situation, the other side had at least one reinforced regiment, and they quietly touched it, and when the secret sentinel found out that the encirclement had been formed, according to the order of the division commander, after entering the Red Army defense area, it was not allowed to clash with any armed forces.

The soldiers did not alarm the other party, the four groups of secret posts all withdrew, and asked the captain how to deal with it, on the combat effectiveness and individual soldiers of these soldiers, the protection division commander rushed out, there was no problem at all, there were still zero casualties, and the other side did not leave one hundred and eighty lives, even if it was lucky, but now it is not allowed to shoot.

There was a tense atmosphere in the room, and the soldiers of the Special Guards were still fresh in their memories of the experience of being surrounded in a cave by the Muto Mountain Forest Combat Team of the Kwantung Army in the northeast, the division commander was seriously wounded, and the troops suffered heavy losses, and they were humiliated by the Commander Special Guard Detachment, the predecessor of the Independent Division's Guard Brigade.

After that, from the commander of the Special Guard, to the independent division guard brigade, despite the change of name, the fighters will never forget jì, and in response to this situation, a brutal devil training was carried out, and the whole team swore that it would never allow things to happen again.

Especially the soldiers of the Special Guards, all of whom are old men of the Bloody Hand Regiment, the fire dragon spewing out of the cave, and the bullet-ridden bodies of their comrades before they die, are all like yesterday, right in front of them, and today they have the advantage that they discovered each other's actions in advance, and this is not a cave where there is no entry or exit.

The movement and atmosphere of the house did not affect Tang Shao's sweet dream, and the mountain tiger had to wake up Tang Qiuli, tell him about the situation, put forward a plan, immediately break through, bring a team of soldiers by himself, and go to the feint, and the division commander retreated east along the direction of the white leopard and the beam.

Tang Qiuli rolled over, didn't raise his eyelids, and said to the big guy: "Put away the guns, lie down and sleep, it's like nothing happened, don't worry, there is no danger." ”

The soldiers looked at each other, they were all confused by the division commander, thousands of people outside, surrounded by us, can we still sleep?

Shanhu looked at Tang Qiuli suspiciously, and just about to say something, he closed his mouth again, he was used to obeying Tang Qiuli's orders, and he was never ambiguous, and now it was the same, he made a gesture towards the soldiers, which only the special guards could understand, and also lay down.

Where can everyone sleep, press the shell gun under the pillow, in the dark, wide-eyed, trying to listen to the movement outside, they are all envious of the division commander and his old man's calm skills, look at others, and immediately snort happily, or someone else is the division commander, and he is a petty officer?

Tang Qiuli was like a mirror in his heart, in the area controlled by the Red Army, there was such a large force of arms, it was not a unit of the Red Army, could it be that? I am afraid that as soon as I enter Jintang Town, I will be targeted, and it is very likely that it will be the local people who sue the Red Army.

At dinner, I asked the boss about the situation of the Red Army, and the boss was full of praise, saying that he had never seen such an army, and that he did not say anything to the common people, one word "good", it seems that the common people here have been red.
