Chapter 323: Revenge must be avenged

The bodies of the soldiers who died in battle everywhere were not even covered with a white cloth, lying on the yellow sand in rows, and the newborn morning sun reflected the lifeless, young faces, with traces of bloody battles.

Tang Qiuli's face was pale, his voice was low, and he said to the two special operations squad leaders: "Report the number of casualties" He knew that there were casualties in the troops, but he dared not believe that there were such large casualties, and he hoped that what he saw was not a real scene.

"Report to the division commander, the sixth and ninth detachments of the special operations detachment, with a total of 326 fighters, 217 killed in battle, and 81 wounded," that is to say, in this earthen enclosure, only 109 of the two special operations detachments survived, and most of them were wounded.

After the two detachment leaders finished reporting, they couldn't stop their tears from flowing, these comrades-in-arms lying on the yellow sand were their brothers and brothers who got along day and night, fighting all the way from the northeast to north China, how many sinister environments had broken through, and their hearts had been torn apart with pain.

Tang Qiuli was stunned, this is the most elite unit of the Independent Division, how much effort he and Brother Qiuquan have put in, these soldiers are all selected from all units of the whole army, one in a hundred, each of them has a brilliant record of eliminating Japanese devils, and they themselves are a combat experience of the Independent Division.

And now, those soldiers who lie quietly on the yellow sand have been killed by these horse bandits, if it is not for this kind of position to hold the battle, no matter how many horse bandits there are, they will not be able to take advantage, behind them, there are more than 100 unarmed scientists.

In order to complete the task assigned to them, they fulfilled the responsibility of a warrior with their young and brave lives, and Tang Qiuli's blood boiled and burned.

The mountain tiger also came to report that the soldiers of the special guard team died two, and the villagers of Jintang Town killed six people in the battle.

When has the independent division suffered such a big loss, especially the elite special operations detachment, there are almost no casualties.

At this moment, General Xu Haidong came over, he also learned about the casualties of the joint exploration team, and wanted to come over to comfort Tang Qiuli, in General Xu's opinion, how can there be immortals in war, he has seen a lot of this kind of scene.

When the Central Red Army broke through the defense line on the Xiangjiang River under Chairman Chiang, more than 80,000 Red Armymen, in order to cover the crossing of the river by the huge central organs, fought a bloody battle for several days with the Central Army, which was several times superior in number and equipment to itself, and the corpses on the river were piled up.

After all, Mr. Qiu is just a businessman, I am afraid that it is difficult for him to accept this cruel reality, or considering the sinister environment, and the idea of retreating, the Shaanxi and Gansu base areas are not easy to come, and it is a great loss to leave, this is the idea of General Xu Haidong.

"Mr. Qiu......" General Xu only shouted, he was surprised to find that this quiet and young Mr. Qiu, there was a huge change in his body, it was a thick murderous aura, rising to the sky, even he, a veteran who had been in battle for a long time and had seen countless scenes of life and death, couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

Without waiting for him to speak again, "General Xu, take a step to speak," Tang Qiuli said to Xu Haidong, and Xu Haidong noticed that a terrifying cold light was shooting out of his eyes.

The two of them walked to a corner, and Xu Haidong heard words that he almost couldn't believe, "General Xu, don't tell lies to real people, don't hide the truth, my real identity is the commander of the 29th Army of the National ** Army, the commander of the new North China Independent Division of the Army, and Tang Qiuli, chairman of the Political Affairs Committee of the Jicha Army."

Xu Haidong's hand instinctively stretched out to his waist, this is an instinctive reaction between natural enemies, touching the cold pistol handle, he slowly lowered his hand again, and looked at Tang Qiuli with sharp eyes.

Things were unexpected and seemed very ridiculous, and after ten years of life-and-death struggle with the Kuomintang, how many comrades-in-arms and how many good comrades fell under the guns of the Kuomintang army, and dozens of their relatives were brutally killed.

Is it a deliberate arrangement of God or a trick of fate for him to talk to a Kuomintang army commander here? Catch, kill, release? This battle-hardened general lost his opinion for a while.

When Tang Qiuli decided to tell Xu Haidong his true identity, he didn't want to think too much, he only had one thought, this revenge must be avenged, otherwise, he would be sorry for the soldiers of the special operations detachment who were sleeping under this long yellow sand, and he would also let his conscience be tortured for life.

Xu Haidong made up his mind, he was shocked by this sudden news, he was at a loss, a Kuomintang army commander, ran to the Red Army's base area, what is his purpose?

Tang Qiuli told Xu Haidong all the situation, starting troops from the northeast to fight against the Japanese invaders, three years of bloody battles, including the troops of his own independent division, there are a large number of ** party members, and they all have military power, as well as party organizations at all levels, of course, this qiē, Tang Qiuli also said the nature of this army, and it is by no means an army under the leadership of **.

He also led a large number of weapons, ammunition, and military supplies to the Red Army, which were in Ganquan County, and could be quickly transported to the Red Army-controlled area, which also showed his sincerity.

In the end, Tang Qiuli said: "Commander Xu, I show my identity, that is, there is one thing, my troops are going to drive here, the revenge of the sacrificed soldiers, we must take revenge, and borrow a road from your army, of course, your army can also refuse, then, I Tang Qiuli did not hesitate to lead the troops, all the way over, no organization or individual, can stop my action." ”

The words are loud, full of determination and fearlessness, General Xu Haidong is like listening to a bizarre story, every qiē is so unbelievable, and the words spoken by this young man are convincing, this is a general's intuition, although this qiē is so absurd, Xu Haidong chose to believe Tang Qiuli, and rushed at him with the temperament of an iron-blooded soldier who has experienced a hundred battles.

Such a big thing, Xu Haidong obviously can't be the master, let a Kuomintang army, go deep into the hinterland of the Shaanxi-Gansu ** base area, this is a time bomb, a little careless, come to a center to bloom, the base area will face a catastrophe, the Red Army will lose the last foothold.

And the attitude of this Tang army commander is obvious and resolute, and he does not hesitate to lead the troops all the way over, Xu Haidong thinks twice, and asks Tang Qiuli to wait for a while, he sends a report to the ** Central Committee and asks for advice on how to deal with it.

After waiting for a long time, the remains of the sacrificed soldiers have been buried, the turbid sky, the strong wind, the yellow sand, the salt and alkali flats, more than 200 new graves have been piled up, stinging Tang Qiuli's heart and his eyes.

General Xu Haidong hurried over with a happy face, and the Central Committee agreed to Tang Qiuli's request, and said that the Red Army could dispatch troops, and the two armies would cooperate in the operation to jointly eliminate the horse bandits, and authorized General Xu Haidong to take full responsibility for this matter and coordinate the actions of the two sides.

I don't know how Xu Haidong persuaded the **Central Leader***, and his experienced and experienced comrades-in-arms, anyway, Tang Qiuli's request, the **Red Army Supreme Command fully agreed, and showed great sincerity.

In the 26th year of the Republic of China, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party were still in a situation of life and death, and any opportunity to improve the relationship between the two sides has not yet appeared.

** Need to take a great risk, sure enough, extraordinary people can do extraordinary things, and finally be able to take charge of the country, it is no accident, Chairman Jiang of Nanjing, absolutely can't do it, this kind of thing that can seize the historical opportunity.

Later, during the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, Tang Qiuli learned the details, at that time, within the ** leadership, there were also strict disagreements, and some people even proposed to shoot themselves on the spot, and the fat in the mouth could be spit out, and finally, *** ended the fierce controversy and contributed to the matter.

General Xu Haidong also went to the surviving soldiers of the special detachment to inquire about the ** party members of the independent division, and the surviving soldiers really had two ** party members, after consulting the division commander, he told General Xu Haidong all the real situation, and Xu Haidong dared to take his head to vouch.

The rest of the matter is the question of how to coordinate between the two sides, Tang Qiuli sent a telegram to the convoy staying in Ganquan, crossed the defense line of the Northeast Army, transported the materials to Sanlipu, and the Red Army was responsible for receiving the troops, completed the handover, and then quickly returned to Xi'an to transport the troops.

Tang Qiuli euphemistically rejected the Red Army's dispatch of troops, which was the independent division's own business, and he was uneasy to use outsiders to help.

General Xu Haidong was not reluctant, he could see that Tang Qiuli had enough confidence and strength, but he truthfully explained the situation he had mastered to Tang Qiuli.

Only then did Tang Qiuli know that it was not the horse bandits that caused the almost complete annihilation of the special operations detachment, but Ma Hongkui's troops in Ningxia, and the flame of hatred in his heart was even more burning.

Bidding farewell to the sacrificed comrades-in-arms and leaving the unknown Tuweizi, along the way, Tang Qiuli's mood was very heavy, and the serene faces of the soldiers flashed in front of him from time to time, Xu Haidong didn't say anything, but left his next reconnaissance company to Tang Qiuli, the reconnaissance company of the Red Army, has been active in the Yanchi area for a long time, and the geographical situation is quite familiar.

When they arrived in Dingbian County, Xu Haidong and Tang Qiuli shook hands tightly, and shook them a few times, without saying anything more.

Then, turning the horse's head, under the escort of several guards, General Xu Haidong beat the horse out of Dingbian County, looking at General Xu's generous back, Tang Qiuli was stunned, and it was his great regret that he could not gallop side by side with this famous general.

Tang Qiuli used Dingbian County as a temporary headquarters, and he found that General Xu Haidong, who seemed to be rough and heroic, was actually a very careful person, perhaps because he was afraid of causing a lot of inconvenience.

He temporarily withdrew all the Red Army units and offices in the county town, giving Tang Qiuli a complete and unrestricted space, and also indirectly expressed an attitude.
