Chapter 676: Murder in Xi'an (1)

Wuxiang more than 80,000 Jin troops, less than half a day, the defeat is like a mountain, the speed of the rout, so that Tang Qiuli was quite surprised, according to his prediction, no matter how bad, the Jin army can also be in the front line of Wuxiang, block the Japanese army for about two or three days, so that Yan Xishan has time to transfer back to attack Zhangjiakou Zhao Chengshou troops, around Taiyuan, will be the main battlefield of the Jin army and the Japanese decisive battle, Yan Xishan's main force is exhausted, Okamura Ningci's troops, also greatly injured, and he will be a profitable fisherman, this is a plan to kill two birds with one stone.

At the very least, Shaanxi has not yet made full preparations to block the Japanese attack, and Sun Zhenbang's corps, although under his own strict supervision, has been deployed point by point along the west bank of the Yellow River, even if his troops run and vomit blood, it is impossible to rush to the front line of the Hequ in northern Shaanxi in a short time, and the troops are far from enough.

The worst thing is that if Taiyuan is lost at this time, Yan Xishan will not fight hard around Taiyuan and Okamura Ningci, Zhao Chengshou's hundreds of thousands of Jin troops will definitely avoid the enemy's edge, and their strength will be preserved. If Yan Xishan, who has his own possession and still has strength, he will definitely not give up, and there is no justification for public or private affairs, of course, it can also be forcibly occupied, then Yan Xishan's hundreds of thousands of Jin troops are just a time bomb, and Yan Xishan will not be discharged to reach some kind of secret agreement with the Japanese to deal with themselves together, and there are many more enemies out of thin air, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Tang Qiuli couldn't help but scold the commander of the front line of Wuxiang of the Jin Army, the pig's head was not as stupid as him, more than 80,000 people, and lost the barrier south of Taiyuan in less than half a day, and it was not enough to shoot a hundred times, after losing his temper, he looked at Mei Ting and Mei Xue who were smiling beside him, he shook his head with a wry smile, this time, it was a bit of a big deal, just thinking about releasing water, he didn't expect that the embankment of Yan Xishan couldn't help but rush, and Okamura Ningci would be finished with one wave.

The situation is a bit passive, the most important thing at the moment is to use all the forces of Dingbian to resist the Japanese army crossing the Yellow River to the west, but the situation that can be seen in Xi'an has made Tang Qiuli have a murderous heart, the front line alarm is frequent, Xi'an is a song and dance, purple drunk and golden, there is no trace of the current tension of the enemy, and there is no sign of full mobilization.

After Shaanxi's economic, cultural, political, and military centers were transferred to Dingbian, Xi'an was placed under the jurisdiction of Dingbian, although Shaanxi currently does not have the highest administrative body, and the state government has not appointed the chairman of the Shaanxi Provincial Government, the Military and Political Committee of the Dingbian Special Economic Zone has replaced the duties of the provincial government and manages the administrative and military affairs of the entire territory of Shaanxi.

Tianyi Garden, the largest and most upscale restaurant in Xi'an, is known as the preferred banquet place for dignitaries and nobles, and the gentry and dignitaries, although there has been some depression in recent years, but it can still bear the banner of the top brand of Xi'an hotel industry.

Tang Qiuli took Mei Ting, Mei Xue, Mountain Tiger and more than a dozen guards, all in civilian clothes, mixed in the bustling guests, the strange phenomenon of Xi'an, made him decide to stay here for one night, to find out, Shanxi war, Xi'an has become the front line, the military and political leaders here, but as if nothing is wrong, there is no fear, do not take the order of the border in their eyes, or Liu Hanzhang misused a group of guys who "still sing chrysanthemums and flowers on the other side".

Tonight's Tianyiyuan Restaurant is one of the leading figures in Xi'an, Bao Chongde, who holds the post of commander of the Xi'an garrison, with the rank of colonel, Tang Qiuli does not know this Commander Bao, who has been fighting outside all the year round, except for the Dingbian Military and Political Committee, those high-level figures, he is not familiar with other officials and military generals in Shaanxi.

When Tang Qiuli and his entourage came to Tianyiyuan Restaurant, he held back his anger, such a great majesty, such a big pomp, a long military vehicle, there were 100 soldiers standing guard at the door, the cordon was put on the road, the pedestrians passing by, all detoured, and the guests who came in and out were all strictly inspected, and the formation was even more grand than the visit of Chairman Jiang.

The gold-lettered signboard of the restaurant flashed neon, and a huge red banner was hung in the middle, "Congratulations to Commander Bao on his new marriage" several golden characters were written on it, and eighteen big red palace lamps were slipped, probably intimidated by the bearing of Tang Qiuli and others, the guards at the door, only hastily interrogated a few words, and then let him go, Tang Qiuli strode into the hall with his head held high, and walked into the hall, Mei Xue peeked at him, and found that his face was a little blue, and in his eyes, murderous aura flashed from time to time, knowing that this surnamed Bao was going to be unlucky tonight.

In fact, when he was outside the restaurant, Tang Qiuli was already forcibly suppressing his anger, or Mei Ting gently pulled his hand, he swallowed the order that had reached his mouth, but he wanted to see who this surnamed Bao was, a bastard who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, or if there was another backstage, he felt that his neck was hard enough, in addition, there was such a perverse thing on the ground in Xi'an, and he also wanted to find out where this wind came from.

In fact, what he is most worried about is that in the Military and Political Committee of the Dingbian Special Economic Zone, there is Bao Chongde's backstage, so that he has no fear, if this is the case, the Dingbian Military and Political Committee has a virus on the healthy body, and it is inevitable to kill, the soldiers in front are bleeding desperately, and the dignitaries in the rear are marrying the fifth aunt, this Bao Chongxi, in Tang Qiuli's heart, is already a dead man.

In the hall, the crowd is crowded, suits and leather shoes or robes and horse coats complement each other, celebrities and noblewomen are jeweled, wearing gold and silver, competing for beauty, in comparison, the Mei sisters with no makeup, black hair floating on their shoulders, white clothes and black skirts, left and right accompanied by Tang Qiuli in a white suit, to look beautiful and refined, outstanding, as soon as it appeared, immediately attracted all the attention, the eyes of the famous women, as if inadvertently swept over Tang Qiuli's body, those men's eyes, but stared fiercely at the Mei sisters, a whisperWho is he?

Tang Qiuli didn't notice the different eyes, he saw that on this occasion, there were many officers with straight military uniforms and shiny armed belts, and the unique military uniforms of the independent divisions that were originally very cordial when they saw them were designed by themselves, but now they were particularly dazzling, the same soldiers, the same military uniforms, were all soldiers of the independent division, and some of them were bleeding and dying on the front line, but they were here with red wine in their hands, young women with flowers and branches in their arms, shuttling between high-ranking officials and nobles, enjoying themselves, they were not worthy of this military uniform, is not worthy of being a soldier of an independent division.

Tang Qiuli felt a tingling pain in his heart, his breathing became heavy, Mei Ting and Mei Xue, who were holding his arms left and right, immediately sensed the psychological changes of their man, it was a burst of regret, afraid that he would be angry on the spot, and quickly pulled him to find a remote corner to sit down, Tang Qiuli exhaled a breath of turbidity, and "hummed" heavily in his nose, seeing Mei Ting and Mei Xue's clear eyes, knife-like gaze, instantly became gentle, held two soft little hands tightly, and decided to look patiently, what else is famous?

At the end of the song, a greasy-haired and powdery master of ceremonies walked onto the stage and announced loudly: "Guests, friends, celebrities from all walks of life in Xi'an, good evening, Commander Bao Chongde's wedding dinner has officially begun, let us welcome tonight's groom Commander Bao's speech with the warmest applause."

An age of about fifty years old, short and fat black man, half-bald on the top of his head, pacing square steps, arrogant face to the front desk, this person's appearance is really not flattering, a white suit, exquisite fabrics, fine workmanship, can be worn on his body, can only be described in two words "awkward" He is followed by a woman who is no more than twenty years old, demure and generous, Western-style wedding dress, outlining a concave and convex graceful figure, presumably tonight's heroine, Commander Bao's fifth aunt, a burst of exclamation, seems to be grateful for the good fortune of this Commander Bao.

From Tang Qiuli's point of view, this young woman, with good looks and generous temperament, is obviously well-educated, and the female guests in the hall are much inferior, only slightly inferior to Mei Ting and Mei Xue, and standing with the short and fat black Bao Chongde, it is not a very unsuitable problem, in a vulgar saying, "A flower is inserted in cow dung," Moreover, Tang Qiuli keenly felt that in this woman's eyes, there was unspeakable grievances and the cold silence of her heart.

Like a wooden man, at the mercy of the emcee with a smooth tone, and this Bao Chongde, who seems to be vulgar, but his eyes always flash with an imperceptible light, he is not a simple character, such a pair of strange combinations, two people who are not related to each other, why can they come together, Bao Chongde dares to make a big show in the case of a military mobilization on the side, and there must be a reason for it.

Before the triumphant Bao Chongde could speak, a young man wearing glasses suddenly said loudly: "Commander Bao, I am a reporter from the Xijing Evening News, and I have a question for you" Bao Chongxi's face obviously showed impatience and disgust, but because of the scene, he had to agree.

"May I ask Commander Bao, the Japanese army launched a large-scale attack in Shanxi, and Xi'an was the first to bear the brunt, Commander Tang's troops were fighting fiercely with the Japanese army in the Pingjin area, and the Military and Political Commission of the Dingbian Special Economic Zone has issued an order for military mobilization to the whole province of Shaanxi, but at present, Xi'an does not see a little tension in the face of war, nor has it seen any military mobilization, I don't know what Commander Bao plans to do?" The tone is clear and loud.

Without waiting for everyone to react, the reporter then asked: "Also, tonight, Commander Bao feasted the guests and welcomed the newcomers, the Japanese are wreaking havoc in Shanxi, and there is a possibility of crossing the river to capture Shaanxi at any time, I don't know what Commander Bao's deployment is, so as not to fall under the iron hooves of the Japanese army, millions of citizens, not to suffer the slaughter of the invaders, in order to calm the hearts of the people?" ”

As soon as the words fell, the aftermath lingered, the whole city was silent, and all the guests were stunned for a while, only Bao Chongde's face turned blue and purple, and he breathed more and more heavily, staring viciously at this guy who suddenly killed and ruined his own good things.
