Chapter 415: Killing

Feng Jiwu and Li Honggang's worries are absolutely justified, the troops of the independent division have tasks in the three battlefields, and they can't spare their hands, the encirclement of Beiping, with 140,000 people surrounding the 130,000 Japanese army, is originally a thin skin and a big stuffing, and what is accurate is that Xiangyue Qingji does not dare to repeatedly fight for positions with himself on the periphery of Beiping, for fear of losing Tianjin and then losing Beiping.

On the first line from Shanhaiguan to Suizhong, 160,000 troops and 120,000 Kwantung Army southward corps are glued together, and the division commander also plans to kill the Itagaki Division, there are not enough troops, absolutely not, what should Tianjin do?

The command headquarters fell into silence, everyone was thinking, Mei Ting quietly retreated, and instructed the staff officers not to disturb the division commander, deputy division commander and chief of staff for the time being, they were thinking about important issues, Mei Ting's delicacy was reflected in every micro xiǎo link, which was also one of the reasons why Tang Qiuli fell in love with her day by day.

Tang Qiuli carefully calculated his family background, and felt a little comforted in his heart, he still had troops at hand that could be mobilized.

Subsequently, he put forward the concept of the campaign, which Feng Jiwu and Li Honggang supplemented, and soon made the overall strategic layout of North China, made corresponding arrangements, and formulated the anti-landing operation plan for Tianjin.

Feng Jiwu immediately rushed to the Beiping front line to take over the work of Liu Tiehan, who was in charge of the anti-landing operation in Tianjin and commanded all the troops in a unified manner.

Liu Feng's Tianjin Police Force and eight urban combat teams formed an independent division rapid reaction brigade, with Liu Feng, former director of the Tianjin Municipal Police Bureau, as the brigade commander, Wang Zhanqun, former head of the first detachment of the urban combat team, as deputy brigade commander, and Wang Mancang, former head of the second detachment of the urban combat team, as chief of staff.

The brigade has five regiments under its jurisdiction, with a total strength of more than 16,000 troops, which is the largest number of troops in an independent division.

More than 11,000 troops under the Zhou Yishan Division of the Independent Division's transportation headquarters and more than 29,000 troops under Su Jingfeng's headquarters of the Yellow River Henan Defense Line Garrison Corps of the Independent Division were temporarily placed under the command of Liu Tiehan, deputy division commander, to participate in the anti-landing operation in Tianjin.

More than 19,000 troops of the cavalry brigade of He Zhuguo, which remained in Shandong, immediately rushed to the Beiping front to take over the defense of Chu Xianzeng's division of the independent fifth brigade of the independent division, and more than 13,000 troops of Chu Xianzeng's division were immediately transferred to the direction of Tianjin.

In this way, Tang Qiuli put together a patchwork of nearly 70,000 troops for Liu Tiehan, so that the defenders of Tianjin reached about 100,000 troops, occupying the advantage on land, and could have a fight with the Japanese sea reinforcements.

Dong pointed to the last two brigades in Shandong, Tang Qiuli did not dare to move, who knew that the Japanese would make a surprise attack on the port along the coast of Shandong, divide tens of thousands of people to land, and give themselves a knife in the back, counting on Han Fuyu's troops, it is better to stretch out their necks and let the Japanese cut that.

Tang Enbo's troops of the Eighth Army of the Central Army in the Henan direction can be partially mobilized, but can Tang Enbo's goods be used with confidence? Don't see the Japanese warship, the soldier is not good, the captain of the Tang army himself will run away first.

Feng Jiwu rushed to Beiping overnight with Tianjin's anti-landing operation plan, and jointly took charge of the campaign in the Pingjin area with Liu Tiehan.

At night, a strong salty sea breeze blew on the surface of the Bohai Sea, Tang Qiuli looked at the Japanese position opposite, lit lights and piled bonfires, in the night, ghostly eyes flickered and jumped, what was Itagaki thinking at this time? Tang Qiu had no way of knowing.

Where the wind rises, his short hair is flying, his clothes are fluttering, Mei Ting snuggled tightly beside him, feeling the violent movement in his heart, dozens of guards, vigilantly watching the movements around him, the mountain tiger is not far away, and glances at Tang Qiuli from time to time.

Shanhaiguan, let him suddenly open the memory of mén, the first time he passed by this place, the lover and the child in the womb, life and death, when he was the saddest, and parted from his homeland, the mood at that time, now is still violently stabbing his heart, originally thought that it could be dusted, but buried deeper pain.

Xiǎo Ling and the child have been gone for more than two years, how many things have happened during this period, I originally thought that I could forget it, and when I stepped on the homeland outside the gate, all the qiē came out vividly, and he regretted a little why he came out at night, put himself in the familiar homeland, and connected the bits and pieces of the past into painful memories.

At the moment of the great enemy, there should not be such a thing to distract the gods, but it broke out irrepressibly, Tang Qiuli hated himself, so that his body trembled slightly, Mei Ting held his hand tightly, and her husband's abnormality at this time made her very worried.

She found that under the dim starlight, there seemed to be crystal tears flashing in her husband's eyes, and she gently hugged Tang Qiuli, using her soft body to comfort her husband's painful heart.

Tang Qiuli suddenly had a strong outpouring of hope, his wife's plump rǔ peak, giving him a vivid feeling, he took Mei Ting's hand, and walked towards a hillside where the grass was green, and he wanted to tell Mei Ting all his qiē.

The guards hurriedly followed, but were stopped by the mountain tiger, who had already guessed the reason for xiǎoqiu's abnormality tonight from Tang Qiuli's god, and he was the most informed of the feelings between Tang Qiuli and xiǎo Ling.

Tang Qiuli seemed to be in a dream, and told Mei Ting all the things hidden in her heart, Mei Ting didn't ask, just listened quietly, and a layer of mist gradually gushed out of her big black and white eyes, she finally understood why her husband had white hair when he was young, it was caused by a night of sadness, such a man is worthy of his life.

The NV child who didn't see each other, thank you for taking care of and accompanying my husband in the days when I didn't come, Mei Ting's heart did not have a trace of jealousy or sourness, she was happy to be by her husband's side now.

Mei Ting gently hugged Tang Qiuli in her arms, gently stroked his thick hair, and again and again, her husband seemed to be asleep, snuggled in her warm embrace, and the surroundings were silent.

The sound of the staff officer and the mountain tiger's conversation seemed to come from the distant night sky, a few crisp gunshots, echoing in the wilderness, Tang Qiuli suddenly woke up from the dream, his heart was peaceful, and the grief that had accumulated for several years was once expressed, and there was an indescribable relief in his heart, and he hugged his wife back with a feeling, and on her beautiful eyes, he gently wěn.

Taking Mei Ting's hand, walking down the hillside, the staff officer sent the information of the special operations detachment, according to reconnaissance, on the right flank of the Itagaki Division, no Japanese troops parallel to it were found, and the two divisions of the second echelon of the Kwantung Army Southward Corps were 50 kilometers away from the Itagaki Division, and there was a six-strand river in between, and it was the rainy season, and the river was swollen, which was not suitable for the march of mechanized troops.

The headquarters of the Itagaki Division, its rear guard unit, camped more than 20 kilometers away from the west bank of the Liugu River, where most of the heavy firepower of the division was located, but there were very few defending troops.

Enough, this is the information that Tang Qiuli needs the most, God has eyes, and finally sent the Itagaki Division to the mouth, the current Itagaki Division is really a lonely army, the left flank is the rolling Nurur Tiger Mountain, the right flank is the Liaodong Bay, behind is the Liugu River where the river is surging, and the second echelon is blocked by the river, far away fifty kilometers.

Tang Qiuli clenched his fists happily and slammed into the night sky, this action amused Mei Ting, and her husband regained his vitality, this is the man who is charming.

A bold battle plan was formed in Tang Qiuli's mind, he wanted to dig out the heart of a fierce tiger and pull out the Itagaki Division from among the more than 100,000 Kwantung Army, and the specific battle plan was to establish a blocking position on the west bank of the Liugu River with the strength of five infantry brigades, one artillery brigade, and one cavalry brigade.

On the one hand, it blocked the two divisions of the second echelon of the southward corps of the Kwantung Army, and on the other hand, blocked the retreat of the Itagaki Division, which was also the most important link in the battle plan, and it was also the most difficult task.

The rest is to block the crazy strength of the Itagaki Division to seize the road and escape, which is also the most dangerous, the injured bison is red-eyed, it is really difficult to deal with, this direction, Jiāo and Li Honggang are responsible.

The rest of the troops, divided into two parts, one part entered Nuerluhu Mountain, and one part served as a frontal encirclement mission, and at the critical moment when the Itagaki division was attacked, they fought out from the flank, and stabbed it fiercely on the left rib of the Itagaki division, putting the last drop of blood.

Three-way siege, one facing the sea, if the plan is smooth, no accidents, in addition to jumping into Liaodong Bay to drink seawater, the Itagaki Division will only be completely annihilated, his own 160,000 troops, more than 50,000 troops against Itagaki troops, three to one, plus several times more firepower than the Itagaki Division, are you afraid that you won't be able to kill him?

The biggest difficulty was how to secretly move tens of thousands of troops, hundreds of mén artillery, to his rear and tie up his pockets without Itagaki noticing.

Tang Qiuli stared at Nuerluhu Mountain, in the middle of the night, the mountains were undulating like a running beast, dark clouds gradually rose, covering the already dim starlight, the night wind became stronger and stronger, a few raindrops, cold fell on Tang Qiuli's forehead, it was going to rain.

The troops went to the Nuerluhu Mountains, only in this way did they not alarm the Banyuan and achieve the purpose of secrecy, but the infantry was easy to handle, what about those heavy artillery? Tang Qiuli believed that the soldiers would definitely be able to overcome the difficulties, and these brigades were all old units of the independent division, and he believed that the soldiers would definitely be able to do it.

A few thunders, the summer rain, suddenly poured down, the bonfire of the Japanese position opposite, was quickly extinguished, Tang Qiuli stood like a sculpture in the wind and rain, tens of thousands of troops, has disappeared into the continuous mountains.

The artillerymen disassembled the artillery into parts and carried it on horseback, which solved the problem of the artillery going on mountain roads, but there were some heavy artillery pieces that had to be left behind, and before that, he gave orders to the special operations detachments operating behind enemy lines to clear the scattered Japanese troops and Manchuria ** along the line, and survey the roads for the troops.

The rain soaked his clothes, Mei Ting carefully raised an umbrella, but half of his body was drenched in the rain, Tang Qiu left the time given to Li Honggang, only twenty xiǎo hours, marching along the way, all keeping the radio silent.

The heavy rain hid the whereabouts of the troops, but it made it even more difficult for them.
