Chapter 1008: The Murderer

Properly planned and executed, Tang Qiuli never imagined that in the Duyun Campaign of the 15th Army of Fengwen under the Yamashita Army, which was completely annihilated by the Japanese army, in the end it would be such an ending, the First Brigade of the Corps directly under the regiment responsible for cleaning up the battlefield suffered more than 1,000 casualties, and more than 90 percent of the casualties were caused by Liu Zhi sending his descendant troops, the 11th Group Army of the Central Army, to the Duyun battlefield.

Tang Qiuli had to adjust his strategic deployment and urgently transferred four brigades of troops from the Ma Chaoyang Corps, which was on the front line of the Hongshui River in northern Guizhou and was ready to inflict heavy losses on the Japanese army's northward troops.

Liu Hongzhang, commander of the First Brigade of the Corps directly under the Corps, has been holding back a fire in his heart, since the First Brigade was incorporated into the battle sequence of the Corps directly under it, it has recovered North China, conquered Outer Mongolia in the north, went to Songhu in the east, and went to Liangguang in the south.

The first brigade is the starting unit of the division commander, and at the meeting of the old bloody hand regiment, it was the first brigade, and the first brigade leader Li Honggang first served as the chief of staff of the independent division, and now he is the commander of the 29th Corps, and the chief of staff Xiao Feng also served as the commander of the second brigade of the workers' anti-Japanese brigade.

The First Brigade walked out of a number of commanders at the level of major generals, but in Duyun, they were killed by Liu Zhi's soldiers who killed five or six hundred people in an unknown way, which was not like fighting the Japanese army. Dead and wounded are normal, holding his breath and causing fire, Liu Hongzhang saw the soldiers of the 11th Group Army of the Central Army who were rummaging things on the corpses of Japanese soldiers, and he hated them so much that he wanted to kill these guys with one shot.

By the time it was dawn, the battle was over. The troops of the Central Army gradually withdrew from the battlefield in a chaotic manner. The casualty figures of the troops have been counted, Liu Hongzhang signed the telegram with red eyes, and looked at the names one by one, Liu Hongzhang's pen weighed a thousand pounds. The casualties have all been accounted for, except for Captain Cao Guozhu, the midshipman of the 1st Company of the 4th Battalion of the 3rd Regiment, and 68 soldiers, whose whereabouts are unknown.

There was no one alive or dead, and the third regiment commander asked for instructions on the intercom: "Brigade commander." The battle is over, whether our regiment also withdraws from the battlefield, it was supposed to be a good finishing battle, but it was a mess for those central armies. Our regiment suffered more than 200 casualties in vain," the third regiment commander couldn't help but complain.

The fire in Liu Hongzhang's stomach was ignited by the whining words of the third regiment commander, and he yelled loudly at the walkie-talkie: "Evacuate the battlefield? You can say it, the little devil is gone, there are sixty-nine people missing in your group, don't you know? It's such a big place. Also report missing, find me. Dig three feet into the ground, even if you turn the battlefield over. You also have to find them, if there is no result, you, the head of the regiment, go to the baggage regiment and be the head of the regiment for me! ”

On the side of the walkie-talkie, the commander of the third regiment shrank his neck in fright, obediently, the brigade commander is so angry, he doesn't think that Cao Guozhu and they are sacrificed or missing, the black light is blind, this trainee company commander, maybe he is pursuing in the direction of the little devil's breakthrough, since the brigade commander has an order, the first brigade will be the entire battlefield again, and carefully search.

In the cave where Fengwen was hiding at the foot of the mountain, the third regiment commander saw the corpses of Cao Guozhu and sixty-eight other soldiers, and the third regiment commander, who had been in battle for a long time, found that something was wrong at a glance, the wounds of the soldiers were all in the back, not died in the battle with the Japanese army, but were plotted, and the two Japanese-style radio stations were intact, and the bodies of three Japanese soldiers fell on the edge of the cave.

The head of the three regiments "boomed", and the blood in the whole body surged to his face, and the Venus in front of him was scurrying, who was the poisoner? "Quick, see if there are any alive," he immediately ordered, and one of the fighters exclaimed, "Commander, there is one here, and he has not yet died." The third regiment commander hurried over.

Picking up the soldier who was covered in blood and was already dying, and seeing his regiment commander, the seriously wounded soldier, the fire of hope flashed in his eyes, "Tell me, what's going on?" Who did this to you? The third head of the regiment asked eagerly.

The seriously wounded soldier gasped a few times with difficulty, and said in a weak tone: "We caught Fengwen under the mountain, and the Central Army shot a black gun at us, and the leader was called Zhang Tiren, and the regiment commander ......" The soldier's breath became short, the spark of life in his eyes suddenly extinguished, his head tilted to the side, he closed his eyes unwillingly, and sacrificed in the arms of the third regiment commander.

The third regiment commander walked out of the cave with a frightened face, he couldn't bear to see that his soldiers were killed by the bastards of the Central Army, "Call me Brigade Commander," he yelled, "Brigade Commander, we found Cao Guozhu and them, they were all sacrificed, they were killed by the bastards of the Central Army from behind," the third regiment commander gritted his teeth and reported.

After listening to Liu Hongzhang's report, Tang Qiuli "snapped" the pencil in his hand, and was broken by him, the sharp stubble pierced into the palm of his hand, and a few drops of bright red blood dripped onto the ground of the grass, he closed his eyes, and almost jumped out of the depths of his chest with two words "Liu Zhi".

Chen Feng, the director of communications around him, and the staff officers in the room, all felt the irrepressible murderous aura on the division commander's body, Chen Feng saw Tang Qiuli's bleeding palm, and exclaimed, "Division commander, your hand," Tang Qiuli shook his head, calmed down a little, and asked Chen Feng: "Director Chen, when will the two brigades of Changfeng arrive at Duyun?" Chen Feng replied, "Ten minutes ago, I received a telegram from the chief of staff, and in two hours, we can reach Xiyun Peak. ”

Okay, immediately convey my order, "Order Changfeng, as soon as the troops reach Xiyun Peak, immediately surround the garrison of the 11th Group Army of the Central Army outside Duyun City, and if they encounter resistance, they can immediately open fire, and also, order Le Yiqin's Southern Flight Group to send at least two fighter regiments and a bomber regiment to fly over Duyun at 2:30 this afternoon, and then the two brigades of Feng Jiwu's Corps, which arrived later, will drive into Duyun City to solve the Central Army in the city," Tang Qiuli took a breath, and his face became extremely pale.

"Also, order Liu Hongzhang to immediately occupy Xiyunfeng and block the contact between the Eleventh Group Army outside the city and Liu Zhi in the city" He added, Chen Feng was taken aback, what is the division commander going to do, he doesn't know the content of Liu Hongzhang's phone call with Tang Qiuli, is this mobilization of troops to prepare for war with the Central Army troops?

Although he was not a professional military commander, he couldn't help but remind: "Division commander, the 11th Group Army of the Central Army has more than 90,000 people near Duyun, and the troops of the chief of staff are only nearly 30,000 people, and the disparity in strength is too great. ”

Chen Feng never questioned Tang Qiuli's decision, he just raised his own worries, Tang Qiuli smiled contemptuously, and said: "Deal with Liu Zhi, it's enough, immediately notify Liu Zhi, I want to go to Duyun City to see him," Seeing Chen Feng's worried look, he continued: "Director Chen, sixty-nine soldiers of our First Brigade were brutally killed by Liu Zhi's troops, and they were all shot in the back. After saying that, I couldn't help but close my eyes.

Chen Feng then understood why the division commander wanted to attack the 11th Group Army of the Central Army, he immediately went out to send a report, in addition to Tang Qiuli's original text, he also briefly reported the situation to Chang Feng, the chief of staff who was rushing to Duyun, in the speeding car, Chang Feng saw the telegram of the division commander, and then looked at Chen Feng's telegram.

A burst of worry hit his heart, the division commander had only one brigade of troops around him, and Liu Zhi had a showdown, once Liu Zhi was poisoned, the safety of the division commander was worried, "Immediately order the troops, advance at the fastest speed, be sure to arrive at Duyun an hour and a half in advance, the car is running apart, don't stop," Chang Feng immediately ordered, all the cars, at the fastest speed, galloped in the direction of Duyun.

At about two o'clock in the afternoon, Tang Qiuli and Shanhu, leading the guard brigade of more than 500 people, entered Duyun City, Liu Zhi was 10,000 unwilling for Tang Qiuli to visit him, he played this trick in Duyun, he could hide from Chairman Jiang, and suppress Guo Huawen, but he couldn't appear in front of Tang Qiuli, so he definitely didn't want to meet Tang Qiuli.

At the time of the Xi'an Incident for many years, he once served as the commander-in-chief of the Northwest Suppression, and had a short period of superior-subordinate relations with him.

But now people come to the door, hiding is not hidden, Liu Zhi had to twist his nose, full of reluctance, at the south gate of Duyun City, to greet the vice chairman, as soon as they met, Liu Zhi still held the gift of his subordinates, "** Liu Zhi, commander-in-chief of the East Route Army of the Qiannan Defense Line, welcomes Vice Chairman Tang to Duyun, and he is honored to be with all the officers and men of the East Route Army. ”

Tang Qiuli glanced at Liu Zhi and said lightly: "Commander-in-Chief Liu doesn't need to be polite, the Eleventh Group Army is fighting effectively, how should I come and take a look, besides, are they all my subordinates?" Tang Qiu left this glance, and he didn't know why, Liu Zhi's heart suddenly shivered, and his heart was weak for a while.

Is it for the sake of Yamashita Fubun? The robbery is coming, Zhang Tiren got the corpse of Fengwen under the mountain, can't it reach Tang Qiuli's ears so quickly, right? To be honest, Duyun didn't do it authentically, did Guo Huawen sue him behind his back? Why does he have something to say, Xingshi is asking for sin?

Liu Zhi was up and down in his heart, guessing randomly, and then heard Tang Qiuli say: "What, Commander-in-Chief Liu, don't you invite me to your headquarters to have a look?" Is it hard for you? ”
