On the way to Singapore, the special plane landed at the Nanyuan Airport in Beiping, and in the lounge of the airport, Tang Qiuli secretly summoned the commander of the armored corps, Batel, and not long ago, Major General Yuan Jinghao, who had been transferred from the commander of the Henan Garrison Command to the post of commander of the Pingjin Garrison Command.

Yuan Jinghao is also the old man of the independent division, in the position of the commander of the independent fourth brigade, first transferred to the commander of the Shaanxi Garrison Command, and then, under the attack of the Japanese army, Tang Enbo was defeated in Henan, and ran to the northern Hubei region in one breath, after the independent division defeated the Japanese army, it was logical to take over Henan, Yuan Jinghao was transferred to the Henan Garrison Command, as the commander, two months ago, transferred to the Pingjin Garrison Command, as the commander.

During the period when Yuan Jinghao was in charge of the military and political affairs in Henan, Tang Qiuli was impressed, and he was a good hand in both military and government affairs.

The Pingjin area is the strategic rear and base for the recovery of the Northeast, and the transfer of a good hand to preside over the military and political affairs of the Pingjin region can be said to be to lay the foundation in advance for the upcoming campaign to recover the Northeast, Tang Qiuli was worried that Yuan Jinghao would not understand this, so he summoned him alone.

The meeting with Batel was also carried out in secret, and Tang Qiu told Sù Batel that the command organ of the armored corps should be secretly transferred to the Pingjin area, and the troops remaining in the Indochina Peninsula should be secretly transferred to the Pingjin area before the end of the year, and by the end of March next year, four more tank brigades and two armored brigades will be formed, and three of the tank brigades will be transferred to the Outer Mongolia region after the formation is completed.

Battle listened quietly, without interjecting a word, his eyes flashed with wisdom, and when Tang Qiuli finished explaining, Battle smiled slightly. said: "Brother, are you planning to make a move on the Kwantung Army and prepare to recover the Northeast?" ”

Tang Qiuli looked at his heroic younger brother dotingly, and quipped: "Hey, when did you learn to read words and colors, just be smart, tell me, what do you think?" ”

Battle smiled and said, "Brother, I said something wrong, don't blame me." Looking at your layout, the directly subordinate corps is staying in Outer Mongolia, Deputy Division Commander Liu's east-fingering troops, and in Chita, Commander Feng Jiwu's Niangziguan garrison corps is on the front line in western Liaoning. Do you want to assault on three fronts and send troops at the same time. Will be the little devil of the Northeast. Split into three disconnected pieces, each broken? ”

Tang Qiuli laughed and said, "Battle, simply, you can be the chief of staff for me, this is just a preliminary plan." The specific deployment will be determined according to the situation at that time, the northeast region, especially the Songnen Plain. It is most suitable for large-scale armored cluster assaults, when your armored troops will take the lead! ”

Battle said solemnly: "Brother, as long as you give me enough tanks and armored vehicles to form these troops, there is no problem, in Kunming, our armored force school, can train nearly 1,000 qualified soldiers every year, in the Dingbian and Guangzhou Military Academy armored force command departments, every year there are hundreds of graduates who are suitable for grassroots command work, so manpower is not a problem!" ”

Tang Qiuli nodded approvingly, his eyes were full of love, he looked at his younger brother, and said, "Yes, take precautions, have full preparations, I will rest assured, you go back!" ”

After Battle left, Tang Qiuli's happy mood lasted for a long time, at the beginning, a teenage wild child, in seven or eight years, grew into a commander in his own right, which was enough to comfort himself.

Mei Xue, who came in to change tea, looked at her husband curiously with a smile like a spring breeze, and quipped: "My brother is gone, you didn't bully him, right?" ”

Tang Qiuli said with a smile: "Snow, time flies so fast, in the blink of an eye, eight or nine years have passed, and Battle has become a young man, who would have thought that a wandering wild child in Sanchahe Town at the beginning can now command the armored troops of the independent division, I think I am old!" ”

Mei Xue replied with a smile: "Are you very old?" ”

Tang Qiuli squeezed his eyes, touched his chin with aftertaste, and said ambiguously: "Yes, it is unabated in bed, and someone has begged for mercy many times!" ”

Mei Xue was so angry that she pounced over, pinched his waist fiercely, and said with a crimson face: "I don't have a positive shape, and I'm not afraid that the guards outside will hear it!" ”

Tang Qiuli pretended to have a bitter face, touched his wife's black hair lovingly, turned his head and shouted, "Special Guard, please Commander Yuan come in!" Frightened, Mei Xue hurriedly let go of her hand.

Outside the door, a rough voice sounded, "Report to the division commander, Yuan Jinghao of the Pingjin Garrison Command of the Independent Division, report to the division commander!" ”

Tang Qiuli said gently: "It's Jinghao, come in!" ”

A major general in a straight military uniform pushed the door in, "Division commander! Yuan Jinghao stood up and saluted, with an eager light in his eyes, and then greeted Mei Xue politely, "Hello Director Mei!" ”

Tang Qiuli beckoned Yuan Jinghao to sit down, and said, "Jinghao, I haven't seen each other for three or four years, right?" It's still the same! Mei Xue poured a cup of tea for Yuan Jinghao, nodded and said hello, closed the door and went out.

Yuan Jinghao carefully observed Tang Qiuli, suppressed his excitement, and said: "It's been three or four years, I haven't seen the division commander, since I was the commander of the Henan garrison, you have commanded several field corps, fighting abroad, division commander, you have lost weight!" There are more gray hairs on the head! ”

Tang Qiuli waved his hand indifferently and said: "Is it still the same, I have been dealing with the Soviets in Outer Mongolia for two months, it's not easy, Jing Hao, I called you over today, I have an important task to be handed over to you!" ”

Yuan Jinghao got up and said loudly: "Division commander, if you have any task, even if you give an order, Yuan Jinghao will definitely die!" ”

Tang Qiuli laughed and said: "There is no need to give up, Jing Hao, from now on, based on the troops of the Pingjin Garrison Command, the North China Field Corps will be formed, and I have issued orders to the Shandong Garrison Command, Shanxi Garrison Command, and Henan Garrison Command, these three garrison commands, respectively, will transfer two infantry brigades, plus eight infantry brigades of your Pingjin Garrison Command, and then two artillery brigades, two tank brigades, and one air defense brigade to form the North China Field Corps, The total strength of the army should reach more than 150,000 troops, and you will serve as the commander, and Liu Feng, chief of staff of the Pingjin Garrison Command, will serve as the chief of staff of the Corps. ”

"The main task of the North China Field Corps is to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the mobile corps of the independent division, and if the strategic direction is tight, the North China Field Corps will be pulled up, and the future direction should be transferred to the northeast battlefield, and the formation of the corps will be completed by the end of March next year.

After listening to Tang Qiuli's words, Yuan Jinghao's first reaction was that he was going to fight a big battle, otherwise, on the front line of western Liaoning, there were more than 500,000 troops under Deputy Division Commander Liu's east command, and recently, more than 300,000 troops of Feng Jiwu's Niangziguan garrison corps also drove to western Liaoning one after another.

Yuan Jinghao's voice trembled a little with excitement, and said, "Division Commander, are you going to fight the Northeast?" ”

Tang Qiuli nodded, Yuan Jinghao's eyes were blazing, and there were flashing flames dancing in his pupils, and then he said, "Commander, Jinghao has a request!" ”

"Say!" Tang Qiuli said simply.

"Division commander, the newly formed North China Field Corps does not want to serve as a campaign reserve, please ask the division commander for approval, and the corps will be pulled up to the front line in western Liaoning, and when it fights little devils, it will serve as the main attack!" Yuan Jinghao looked at Tang Qiuli with pleading eyes.

Tang Qiuli looked at Yuan Jinghao, who was nervous, with a smile on his face, and said, "This matter, let's talk about it after your corps is formed, why Jinghao, is it going to compete with Commander Feng Jiwu for the main attack task?" ”

Yuan Jinghao was a little disappointed and explained: "Division commander, Jing Hao has no such intention, I am willing to serve as Commander Feng's deputy, and if there is a battle, it will be done!" ”

"Okay, I'll think about it, Jing Hao, the upgrading of local troops to field corps is not just a simple way to gather several troops together and change their numbers, but also involves the change of the command system of the troops, the tactical coordination between the brigades, and the experience of the large corps operations, including ground-to-air, infantry, and artillery coordinated operations, your burden is not light!" Tang Qiuli said earnestly.

Yuan Jinghao's answer was confident, "Division commander, in five months, you will see a field corps that can undertake any combat mission!" The combat effectiveness is by no means worse than that of any of the main field regiments! ”

Tang Qiuli was also infected by Yuan Jinghao's affection, and said with a laugh: "Okay, in five months, I will personally inspect the North China Field Corps, and when the time comes, don't let me down!" ”

On the morning of the same day, Tang Qiuli's special plane, escorted by fighters of a squadron of the Northern Flying Group, took off from the Nanyuan Military Airport in Beiping and continued its flight to the Indochina Peninsula.

At noon, when they landed at the Wuhan airport to refuel, the senior members of the local party, government, and military in Hubei who rushed to the airport after hearing the news did not dare to slack off and waited at the airport early; although the vice chairman of the NPC Standing Committee, who had fought a lot abroad and had just killed more than 500,000 Soviet soldiers, although he was only passing by, all walks of life in Wuhan did not dare to take it lightly at all.

In the Outer Mongolia region, more than 30,000 heads were cut off at one time, and the killing was bloody and bloody, which was called a ruthless heart, if it was neglected, maybe the big man was unlucky, and hit the muzzle, as long as he looked at it, he didn't lose his head to the point that the black gauze hat on his head must not be saved, and it was said that it was a little bit of the friendship of the landlord, or it was deliberately pleased, in line with the principle that many people were not to blame, Wuhan had a big man with a head and a face, and they all came.

When Wuhan Airport learned the news, he was sincerely frightened and did not dare not fail to inform the Hubei Provincial Party Headquarters, the Provincial Government, the Garrison Headquarters, and other military and political yamen, so there was such a grand welcome ceremony.

When the special plane was taxiing on the runway, through the porthole, Tang Qiuli saw the scene of the airport being heavily guarded, colorful flags waving, and crowded, and couldn't help frowning.
