Chapter 1389: Chu Ziye's ruthlessness
Tang Qiuli almost shouted after saying this, "I can't remember how long I haven't had such an excited feeling, such a heart-wrenching outburst, and all the strength in his body seemed to have left his body with these words, he slumped in his chair, panting heavily."
Inside the house, Tang Qiuli's sudden roar shocked all the people outside, and the vigilant guards looked at each other, not knowing what to do, if it was something else, they had already rushed in and took down the other party, but it was the chief of staff who went in just now, and he was also his top boss, Shanhu and Mei Xue, who had been worried outside, heard the roar and hurried in.
Tang Qiuli turned his head and saw the mountain tiger and Mei Xue, his eyes showed a tired light, and he shouted in a low voice: "Go out!" No one is to come in without your business, without my orders! ”
Shanhu and Mei Xue were stunned, Tang Qiuli had never done this to them, maybe he would lose his temper with Mei Xue, but he didn't say a word to Shanhu, among all the generals of the independent division, except for Liu Tiehan and Tang Qiusheng, the two veteran deputy division commanders, they were probably Shanhu, and they didn't receive half a word of criticism, this was the first time.
Shanhu didn't feel surprised or embarrassed, he didn't feel surprised or embarrassed, he just didn't hear Tang Qiuli's words, he just habitually used his gaze to scan the room around, and then, with a worried gaze, fell on the silent Chang Feng, and he stopped talking.
Mei Xue was stunned for a moment, glanced at her husband, showed a trace of distressed eyes, looked at Chang Feng again, silently got two cups of tea, put them in front of the two, and wanted to persuade her, but she felt that it was out of place and inconvenient to open, so she glanced at Shanhu, exited the room, and gently closed the door.
Shanhu and Mei Xue withdrew, Tang Qiuli suddenly sighed, his expression was indescribably lonely, "Chang Feng, I originally wanted to talk to you calmly." But we couldn't suppress the anger, forget it, we couldn't convince each other, this problem. Leave it to future generations to comment! Chang Feng, what are your plans? The tone was tired and hoarse.
Chang Feng's heart ached, he should have come, and finally came, he replied: "Division commander, with my current state, I am no longer suitable for leading troops to fight. It is even more unsuitable for the combat mission that the army is about to face, I think, I should retire from active service, go to the Dingbian Special Economic Zone, anywhere, do learning, and ask the division commander to complete! ”
Tang Qiuli glanced at Chang Feng deeply, as if he was about to take the person in front of him. The young general who fell like a meteor, his current appearance, is engraved in his heart. He thought for a while and said: "There is no need to leave the army, there are three places, you can choose at will, one is the director of education of the Dingbian Military Academy, the other is the vice president of the Guangzhou Military Academy, and the other is the director of the War Research Institute under the division headquarters, however, the office is located in Dingbian, which place do you want to go." Will I issue a power of attorney immediately? ”
Chang Feng smiled bitterly and said, "Division Commander, I'd better go to the Zhanyi Research Institute, bury my head in learning, and hope that I can provide you with help as much as I can in a place far away from the sound of gunfire." Isn't teaching misleading people with such thoughts? ”
Tang Qiuli's mood also calmed down, with Chang Feng's current state, it may be a better choice to do learning, he added: "Your military rank and treatment remain unchanged, and you enjoy the treatment of officers of the same level in the field army, in addition, I hope that you will leave in a few days and take a look at various places in the Indochina Peninsula to see the destructive consequences of this riot, and perhaps, it will help you change your thinking." ”
Chang Feng got up, gave Tang Qiuli a military salute in a dignified manner, and said with tears in his eyes: "Thank you, Commander, Chang Feng has disappointed you, Commander" Tang Qiuli waved his hand weakly, nothing happened, Chang Feng's lips moved, but he found that he had nothing to say, turned around and left, his back was still so upright, but there was an indescribable loneliness.
Tang Qiu was distracted for a while, and after retracting his gaze, he realized that he was the only one left in the huge room, unspeakably empty and lonely, and he shouted towards the door: "Special Guard, let Secretary Mei come in!" ”…,
Mei Xue came in, felt the faint sadness in the air, and her husband's lonely mood, didn't speak, poured out the herbal tea, continued the boiling hot water, and then asked, "Shouting and shouting for me to come in, what's the matter?" ”
Tang Qiuli glanced at his wife, sighed slightly, and said: "Xue, record three orders, first, transfer the former chief of staff of the Northeast Advance Command of the Independent Division, Colonel Zhao Yuhe, from now on, as the chief of staff of the Independent Division, the rank of major general, after receiving the order, immediately go to work, Second, Colonel Yang Ketian, the former chief of staff of the Independent Division, will be transferred to the Chief of Staff of the Northeast Advance Command. ”
"From the moment the order is issued, the work will be handed over immediately, and he will rush to the northeast on the same day to take up his post, and be promoted to the rank of major general; 3. Lieutenant Colonel Ge Zhenzhuang, deputy chief of the staff office of the former independent division and division headquarters, will take over the post of division chief and be promoted to colonel, and this order will take effect on the date of issuance, and it will be reported to all corps, departments directly under the division, all local garrison areas, the Outer Mongolian border guards, the naval fleet, the aviation unit, the Dingbian Special Economic Zone, and other units."
Mei Xue repeated the order, hesitated, and asked cautiously, "Qiu Li, the chief of staff is gone?" You're not going to expel him from the military, are you? Tang Qiuli smiled bitterly and replied: "The mistake is strict, the crime is not here, go back to Dingbian and bury yourself in learning, this is his own choice" After speaking, he was quite emotional, but Mei Xue was obviously relieved.
This was a small-scale personnel adjustment within the command system of an independent division, but the shock it produced gradually became apparent in the subsequent battles, and the direct effect was that no one dared to disobey or question the order of the division commander Tang Qiuli, and of course, it was the order of the battle plan formed after full discussion.
Just when Tang Qiuli was talking to Chang Feng, the brigades of the Sulu Mobile Corps of the Independent Division and the brigades of the directly subordinate corps had already begun to march towards their respective target cities in accordance with the orders of the division commander a few hours ago.
The Fourth Brigade of the Corps is responsible for entering the urban area of Mandalay from the south gate of Mandalay in central Burma.
The first thing he saw was a chaotic city, full of burning flames, panicked crowds of runners, thugs with machetes, iron rods, and wooden sticks, brazenly chasing and beating citizens, or moving things out of the shops on the street.
On both sides of the street, the broken glass, the stains of blood that have not yet solidified, and the corpses seen from time to time tell that the city is suffering an unprecedented catastrophe, and only those shops that have been smashed and looted are all the industries of Chinese and overseas Chinese, and the advance of the troops is very fast, and when encountering a few small groups of thugs who tried to attack the troops, Chu Ziye did not hesitate to order to shoot and kill.
The dense gunfire frightened the courage of the rioters, they never thought that the soldiers of the Chinese country would dare to shoot, seeing that the situation was not good, they threw down the looted things, hugged their heads and ran away, Chu Ziye did not pay attention to it, anyway, the monk ran away and couldn't run the temple, the troops had surrounded Mandalay, these guys, couldn't sneak out, and after controlling the situation in the city, they dug out like mice.
After turning a few streets, the troops suddenly stopped advancing, Chu Ziye frowned, jumped out of the armored command vehicle, and ordered angrily and loudly: "Combat staff officer, go to the front immediately and ask, what happened?" Why did the troops stop advancing? ”
A few minutes later, the operational staff officer ran back with the fourth battalion commander panting, and the battalion commander of the major reported: "Report to the brigade commander, the street in front is blocked, a large number of rioters, blocking the road of the troops, and there are attempts to attack the troops, I have ordered the troops to prepare for shooting, just waiting for your order!" ”
Chu Ziye was furious and yelled at the fourth battalion commander: "What? Blocking the road, waiting for some bullshit orders, just shoot these bastards! You forgot the order of the division commander? ”…,
The fourth battalion commander replied in embarrassment: "Brigade commander, it's not that I don't want to shoot, the key is that there are too many people, and the whole street is blocked!" Chu Ziye became more and more annoyed and said, "There are too many people? And when you beat Libao, are there many little devils? Let's go ahead and have a look! After speaking, he glared at the fourth battalion commander viciously, stepped onto the military jeep in a few steps, and the fourth battalion commander shrank his neck and followed closely.
After passing through the alley formed by the soldiers, and driving for five or six minutes, I heard the voices of people in front of me, shouting loudly, and the soldiers of a company were shooting in a kneeling position, and the guns in their hands were aimed at the front, but if I looked closely, the hands of the soldiers were trembling slightly.
"Crunch" jeep with a screeching brake sound, suddenly stopped at the front, Chu Ziye looked, ho, opened his eyes, the originally wide street in front was crowded by the crowd, there were five or six thousand people, in the front, there was a group of shirtless, fierce faces of big men, holding machetes, iron rods, wooden sticks and other murder weapons.
In the crowd behind them, there were also many people with all kinds of guys, Chu Ziye saw that the murder weapon was still stained with dark red blood, and a few guys with portable horns and wielding machetes stood on a high place, shouting hoarsely, and with their shouts, the crowd below was followed by a burst of noise and shouts.
Chu Ziye frowned and asked the translator beside him, "Those bastards, what are you arguing about there?" The translator glanced at the brigade commander in embarrassment, muttered a few words, the voice was too small, and the thousands of people on the opposite side were noisy, Chu Ziye didn't hear clearly, and shouted impatiently: "Didn't eat?" Louder, I can't hear you! ”
The translator leaned in Chu Ziye's ear and said loudly: "That's a few members of the Burmese National Construction Committee, they are shouting, kill all the national pigs, and get out of Myanmar!" Myanmar does not welcome pigs! ”
Chu Ziye snorted coldly and ordered to the fourth battalion commander: "Convey my order, light and heavy machine guns and mortars are prepared, and the troops are lined up in a line, ready to shoot!" With that, he stepped into the back seat of the jeep.
