Chapter 582: Xiangfan Dragon and Tiger Fight

Tang Qiuli and his party appeared in the lobby of the hotel, and when they saw the guests who stayed in yesterday, they turned into mighty generals and soldiers, which greatly hit the attention of the hotel service staff, only which manager sneaked into the room and wanted to make a call, it was obvious that he was a person who belonged to Tang Enbo, even if he was not a hidden agent, at least he was an eyeliner.

As soon as the phone was picked up, a strong big hand, iron pincers pinched his wrist, a sharp pain that pierced his heart, Venus in front of him was scurrying, he had heard his bones moaning in pain, he couldn't help screaming, just a little movement, his mouth was tightly covered.

Immediately afterwards, he was grabbed by the belt and slipped up, and threw it on the sofa at once, he saw clearly the person who subdued him, and the sweat on his face came down at that time, daring to love the mountain tiger, the mountain-like body, the heavy machine gun in his hand, itself is an indescribable coercion, the manager absolutely believes that this big man, killing himself, is easier than killing a little chicken.

When he followed Tang Qiuli downstairs, he was in the sensitive state of professional habits and many years of bullets, he instinctively observed everyone in the hotel, and as a result, he found the manager's abnormal behavior, and quietly followed up, just to catch it, and he didn't need to be interrogated at all, he knew what he was going to do.

Shanhu grinned, the manager was so frightened that he almost fainted, this smile was too penetrating, a few soldiers came in, escorted the manager out, they knew how to deal with such a thing, Shanhu returned to the hall and did not alarm anyone, including Tang Qiuli, who did not know what happened just now, his own actions, were almost exposed.

A few cars, towards Tang Enbo's secret private house in Xiangfan City, from a distance, this is an ordinary house, the common architectural style in northern Hubei Province, the black lacquer gate is closed, if you observe carefully, you will see different places, the wall is particularly high, there are no ordinary streets around, tall plants such as trees, outsiders want to climb, there is no place to stand at all, and the lower half of the wall, there is a faint hidden gun hole.

The car stopped at the gate, and a sudden situation happened, the originally empty doorway, I don't know where Hula rushed out a team of soldiers with loaded guns, instantly surrounded several cars in the middle, the muzzle of the black hole, pointed at the car, Tang Qiuli in the car smiled disdainfully, it can be seen that Tang Enbo is a thief, and he is like a great enemy on his own territory.

Shanhu got out of the car and said to the thirty or so soldiers: "Go and inform you Commander Tang, General Tang Qiuli, Vice Chairman of the Military Commission of the National Government" These soldiers hesitated, one should be the lieutenant who led the team, rolled his eyelids, and said proudly: "What Vice Chairman Tang, we haven't heard of it, the brothers only listen to the orders of the Tang Commander, without the orders of the Commander of the Regiment, even if it is a mouse, don't want to sneak in, everyone raises their hands and gets off, **, dare to come here to spread wild, they are all impatient"

The words are arrogant enough, and the vigilance is quite good, but it also proves that Tang Enbo lives here, and he does not fight in the air, otherwise, these guards will not be as strong as the enemy, and they are heavily guarded, as soon as the lieutenant finished speaking, the shell gun in his hand suddenly left his hand, and then, a cold muzzle was pressed against his head.

A big man who was a head taller than him, with a sarcastic sneer on the corner of his mouth, looked at him coldly, this lieutenant is a knowledgeable person, he knows that the head is a heavy machine gun, and if he goes down, his head is not much stronger than a rotten watermelon, he can't understand, the big man who talks to him, five meters away from him, how can he come to himself in the blink of an eye?

He squinted at his brothers, like him, he was pointed at the head with a gun by twenty people, he really had a ** life, he was more than thirty people, but he was subdued by twenty people, no, the person was one person controlling the two, the submachine gun was pointed at one person's head, and the pistol was pointed at another person's head.

Shanhu asked, "Is Tang Enbo inside?" The lieutenant's eyes rolled a few times, hesitated and didn't make a sound, the mountain tiger smiled coldly, and the murderous aura suddenly burst out, the lieutenant shuddered, and his whole body seemed to fall into an ice cellar, which was more lethal than the heavy machine gun on the top of his head, and he spit out two words with difficulty, "In, in." ”

Shan Hu escorted the lieutenant to call the inside of the house, and coincidentally, today, Tang Enbo held a meeting in a secret private house, and the meeting was attended by officers above the brigade commander level of the Eighth Army Corps, and personnel at or above the division level of the regiment headquarters, all of whom were Tang Enbo's confidants and cronies, forty or fifty people, crowded the spacious hall to the brim, coupled with the incessant smoking, the hall was filled with smoke, and everyone attending the meeting had a cloudy and sunny face.

There was only one topic on the agenda of the meeting, the direction and foothold of the Eighth Army's next move, and Tang Enbo himself could not make up his mind on this point, although Xiangfan was good, after all, it was not a place to stay for a long time, and the Eighth Army Corps belonged to the defense area designated by the non-military committee, and sooner or later it was a problem, relying on his own troops to press the border, and adopting all kinds of threats and inducements to subdue the local authorities and local powerful factions in Xiangfan, so that he could temporarily settle down, and it was not a long-term solution after all.

Since the battle and garrison in Henan, Tang Enbo has tasted the sweetness and benefits of being the emperor of the soil, because the Eighth Army has a special status, although it is under the control of the Yellow River Basin Theater, it has no explicit subordinate relationship, and it also belongs to the command system of the Central Army.

The command of the legion is still in the military committee, in other words, it is still in the hands of the old man, Tang Qiuli can't use a single soldier, and that Tang Qiuli can't point fingers at himself, everything has to be discussed, the national government is far away from Henan, and the near can't be managed, and the far can't be managed, Tang Enbo trembled, cleverly set up a name, expropriated and extorted, made a fortune, and tossed Henan into a miasma, and the people were not able to make a living.

After more than a year of comfortable days, fireworks broke out around Henan, he was calm here, but took advantage of the chaos, and instructed his cronies to scrape a lot of oil and water, Anyang, the north gate of Henan, put the two cronies who are the best at fishing for oil and water.

Tang Enbo himself admitted that he was stunned and frightened by the sudden attack of the Japanese, and he knew better what kind of goods those division commanders under his command were, who were good at making money and playing with women, and if they wanted to talk about war, Tang Enbo himself looked down on them, except for Liu Zhaoyu and Cao Guangtu, these people could not withstand a few shells from the Japanese, and they were scared to pee their pants, and they didn't need orders to run away.

Therefore, as soon as the cannon sound of Anyang sounded, Tang Enbo withdrew the corps headquarters to Xinzheng, a few hundred kilometers away from Zhengzhou, when Liu Zhaoyu's 53rd Division and the Japanese army were desperately fighting in Hebi, his corps headquarters had already withdrawn to Xuchang, and Cao Guangtu's 130th Division and the Japanese army with superior strength withdrew the corps headquarters to Nanyang during the bloody battle in Xinxiang.

The tighter the gunfire on the front line, the farther the headquarters of Tang Enbo's Eighth Army Corps was from the front line, and by the time Zhengzhou was lost, Tang Enbo had already run to Xiangfan in Hubei.

There are also his sinister intentions here, preserving strength is one thing, and he can also take the opportunity of the Japanese to attack Henan on a large scale to consume the 53rd Division and the 130th Division, for Liu Zhaoyu and Cao Guangtu, the two division commanders who are not with their own hearts, Tang Enbo has long wanted to eradicate them, and in the Eighth Army Corps, there are no dissidents who are not with their own hearts.

However, the prestige of these two people in the army is extremely high, and they have won the trust of the officers and men, if they come hard, I am afraid that they will provoke a mutiny, just when the Japanese army began to attack Henan, Tang Enbo gave a poisonous hand, and gave the order to the 53rd Division and the 130th Division to hold on to the same place, and at the same time, secretly ordered his cronies to preserve their strength, and took advantage of the opportunity of these two divisions to block the Japanese, abandon their positions and flee.

As a result, the 53rd Division and the 130th Division faced the betrayal of friendly forces, faced with the frantic attack of more than 100,000 Japanese troops, fought bloody battles, and the whole army was annihilated, and the blood of more than 30,000 loyal warriors and soldiers was sprinkled on the land of the Central Plains.

During this period, Tang Enbo also received a telegram from Tang Qiuli, at that time, Tang Enbo was thinking about how to escape, and the Japanese artillery scared his courage, where to ignore Tang Qiuli's order, simply cut off all contact with the outside world, and ran south, so Tang Qiuli could not contact the Eighth Army Corps headquarters at all.

Tang Enbo, who fled to Xiangfan, Hubei Province, was frightened, locked himself in the house, calmed down and thought about it, and felt that this thing was a bit out of line, not to mention anything else, just the loss of the city and the loss of land, it was enough for him to eat and walk around, the crime of defeat, the light one lost his official position, and the heavy one was imprisoned, until he was shot and beheaded, and this article was clearly there, and he couldn't deny it if he wanted to.

The more Tang Enbo thought about it, the more bottomless he felt in his heart, he was afraid that the military committee would investigate his responsibility for the defeat, mainly because he was afraid that he would lose the trust of the old man from now on, then he would not have to mix it up in the future, as for where Tang Qiu left, he didn't care about it, and he was not worried about being punished, there was no way, he had to come to the world to evaporate, hide his whereabouts, cut off contact with the outside world, only keep the contact channel with his cronies, master the troops, shrink in Xiangfan City, and think hard about countermeasures.

Therefore, not only could Tang Qiuli not be able to find him, but even Chairman Chiang in Nanjing did not know the whereabouts of his confidant and favorite general, coupled with the fact that the Japanese army violently attacked Songhu and the Hangzhou Bay area, and smoke was everywhere in North China, Chairman Chiang put all his energy into the fierce battle, so he could not spare his energy to pursue this matter.

Therefore, Tang Enbo was able to live safely in Xiangfan, of course, he was not a person who sat still, waiting for the military committee to punish him, and lost his military power, which did not require his life, and under the staff of his senior staff, he launched an operation.
