The sky is gradually brightening, the dawn of dawn is showing in the east, the headquarters of the directly subordinate corps is still brightly lit, the operational staff officers are nervously going in and out, the radio room is passing telegrams from time to time, the conference table made of shell boxes is covered with large maps, more than a dozen telephones, and the ringing of bells is continuous.

The staff officers who counted the results of the battle and the casualties of the troops, tried their best to keep their voices low, and they also kept their feet light when they went in and out, and no one dared to disturb the division commander Tang Qiuli at this time, and the anger and murderous aura felt from him made these young staff officers and confidential officers dare not come out in the atmosphere, and when a young female confidential officer sent a telegram to Chen Feng, the director of communications, she saw the division commander sitting in a chair, perhaps oppressed by that murderous aura, and her face turned pale and she almost fainted.

Tang Qiuli was now angry and wanted to kill, Liu Zhi took the initiative to put his own descendant Eleventh Group Army into the Duyun battlefield, and the damage to his plan was far beyond his imagination.

The plan was successful, and in the process of implementation, there was no deviation, and in the end, the net went down, and all the remaining remnants of the 15th Army were salvaged, and the Battle of Duyun could be perfectly ended, and the Japanese 15th Army, which claimed to be invincible in the whole of the Japanese army, disappeared from then on.

But Liu Zhi let one of his group armies, more than 90,000 horses, suddenly step in, which not only affected the course of the battle, but also changed the outcome of the battle, and even affected the Western Front, which was blocking the troops of more than 300,000 Japanese troops of seven brigades, and more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers broke through from the direction of Xiyunfeng, just behind the troops of the Western Front.

After the defeat, the remnants of the 15th Army of the Japanese Army were defeated, but they did not have the courage to dare to come from behind. The troops attacking the Western Front, but the troops on the Western Front, were outnumbered, and even a small group of remnants of the Japanese army inadvertently broke behind the troops, and the impact on the resistance battle was immeasurable.

The remnants of the Japanese army that broke through must not be allowed to get close to the four key points of Xianxian, Jiangzhou, Pinglang, and Kaimen. Troops were dispatched to pursue and force them to the areas of Guiding and Fuquan in northern Qianbei. Tang Qiuli had to change some plans temporarily.

He called Chen Feng and instructed, "Send a telegram to Chutian in Duyun City, and all the special operations detachments will be dispatched to pursue the remnants of the Japanese army that broke through from the direction of Xiyun Peak." With the ultimate goal of not affecting the blocking battle on the Western Front, he sent a telegram to Chang Feng and Ma Chaoyang, and from the direction of Mashan, the 9th and 12th Brigades of the Corps directly under him, as well as the 3rd and 4th Brigades of Feng Jiwu's Corps, immediately rushed to Duyun. Participated in the pursuit of the remnants of the Japanese 15th Army. ”

After Chen Feng recorded the order and repeated it, he was just about to leave, when Tang Qiuli asked, "Has the First Brigade reported the whereabouts of Fengwen under the mountain?" Chen Feng shook his head. Tang Qiuli was even more worried, if Yamashita Fengwen escaped, he still had nearly 10,000 troops in his hands, this crazy guy would definitely choose any of the four targets and stick a knife in his back.

"Ordered Chang Feng to lead the two brigades of the direct corps in a car. Rushed to Duyun as fast as possible, the two brigades of Feng Jiwu's corps. Then follow up," he added. When Chen Feng left, a young staff officer came in, carefully handed him a few pages of paper, and said, "Division commander, this is just counted, the casualties of the combat troops last night. ”

Tang Qiuli looked at it, and almost shouted in surprise, the battle to clear the remnants of the Japanese army, the casualties of the First Brigade in one night reached 893, of which 569 were killed, the casualties were so large that they exceeded his imagination, and what was even more difficult for him to accept was that in the battle with the remnants of the Japanese army, the casualties of the First Brigade were only more than 80 people, and the casualties of more than 800 people were all caused by Liu Zhi's 11th Group Army of the Central Army, how could this be?

Tang Qiuli asked silently, as if he was asking the staff officer, and as if he was asking himself, the staff officer added: "The division commander, and Captain Cao Guozhu, the trainee company commander of the first company of the third regiment and the fourth battalion, and the sixty-eight soldiers of the company are missing, because they have not seen the corpses, so they are not included in the list of casualties. ”

Tang Qiuli asked with a bitter mouth and a little suspicion, "Is this casualty list accurate?" The young staff officer, blushing, he did not allow others to doubt his work ability, even if he was the first person in the independent division, the division commander Tang Qiuli could not, "Division commander, this is the number after I have carefully checked it with various units three times, I guarantee it with the honor of a soldier, it is absolutely accurate, if there is a slight discrepancy, the division commander can immediately expel me from the army." The young staff officer said in a loud voice.

Tang Qiuli looked at the young staff officer with a little surprise, and said gently: "It's not that I suspect that your work is serious, but I can't believe this number, okay, you go down," the young staff officer's face returned to normal, and he glanced at the division commander gratefully.

Tang Qiu closed the above jiàn clip and closed his eyes weakly, which made his heart ache, and the shocking casualty figures, if you add the sixty-nine missing people, more than a thousand, this is the first time since the independent division troops recovered North China that there have been such large casualties, and they are not casualties in the battle with the Japanese army.

"Huzi, get ready, I'm going to see Liu Zhi in the morning, this account should be settled with him," Tang Qiuli ordered Shanhu to arrive, Shanhu was just about to go out to make arrangements, and when he saw a few soldiers, he walked in with a colonel of the Central Army, and immediately followed.

"Report to the division commander, according to the order of our brigade commander, escort Long Rubai, the colonel of the 1st Regiment of the 51st Division of the Ninth Army of the 11th Group Army of the Central Army," a lieutenant who led the team said simply, Shan Hu waved his hand, and several soldiers from the guard brigade came in, escorting Long Rubai into the command headquarters, and then, King Kong, stood behind Tang Qiuli.

Tang Qiuli looked coldly at Long Rubai, who was dazed and at a loss, Long Rubai was completely stunned now, his remaining hundreds of soldiers were all disarmed by the fierce and vicious major general, and he was also put into the car, and walked for more than two hours to this strange place.

He looked up at Tang Qiuli, there were four gold stars on the epaulettes, God, the second-class general of the army, such a young official, the majesty should not be looked up, but he was even more afraid of the major general next to him, with an iron tower-like figure, a black grits face, and a cold light in his eyes, staring at himself with ill intentions, what was he carrying in his hand? Mother, it's a heavy machine gun!

Long Rubai's legs trembled involuntarily, a layer of sweat oozed from his head, he barely saluted, and asked in a trembling voice: "I don't know ......what the chief is?" "Tang Qiuli", the admiral replied lightly.

Long Rubai sat down on the ground all of a sudden, Vice Chairman Tang, the number two person in the national government, a more powerful role than Chairman Jiang, the shadow of a famous tree, in front of the famous Vice Chairman Tang, he didn't have any luck at all, and before he could recover from the shock, he was picked up by two soldiers.

Long Rubai nodded like pounding garlic, and kept saying in his mouth: "Damn it, I don't know if it's Vice Chairman Tang, who has no eyes," Tang Qiuli waved his hand in disgust to stop his nonsense, and asked lightly: "I want to know, at about one o'clock in the morning, what happened on the Xiyun Peak position?" ”

When Long Rubai heard this, his eyes were a little lively, and he turned around a few times, obviously making an idea, the mountain tiger snorted, "Bang" pulled the heavy machine gun bolt, and in a moment, Long Rubai's seven souls and six spirits were about to leave the body, he understood that as long as there was a lie, this King Kong-like major general would definitely not mind pouring a shuttle of heavy machine gun bullets into his body.

After listening to Long Rubai's confession, Tang Qiuli became more and more angry with the angry look on his face, especially the words Liu Zhi said, which made him even more angry, it can be confirmed that the remnants of the 15th Army, from the direction of Xiyun Peak, broke through nearly 10,000 people, is there a mountain under the mountain Fengwen here?

There is also Liu Zhi, who is even more unforgivable, he is the culprit who caused the outcome of the battle, just when Tang Qiuli had already regarded Liu Zhi as a dead man, Liu Zhi in Duyun City was so happy that he almost went crazy.

Zhang Tiren, head of the guard regiment of the military headquarters of the Eleventh Group Army, brought back the bodies of Fengwen and Gong Qi under the mountain, and the news immediately caused a sensation in the general headquarters of the Eastern Route Army.

Far away, I saw Zhang Tiren where to compare, talking about his heroic deeds, Zhang Tiren is eloquent, and describes the virtual battle scene vividly, including how he commanded the troops, personally braved the dense firepower of the Japanese army, and under what complex terrain conditions, and finally killed Yamashita Fengwen.

This guy didn't say a word about committing heinous crimes in the cave, and cunningly changed to Yamashita Fengwen, who was killed in the mountains and forests, he was afraid that people with good things would run to see the situation on the ground, and then they would all be exposed, and if Yamashita Fengwen suddenly cheated the corpse, he would definitely scold him for farting all over the place, and beat him all over the ground to find his teeth.

Liu Zhi coughed quietly, and Zhang Tiren immediately stood up and saluted, "Report to the commander-in-chief, Zhang Tiren, the head of the guard regiment of the 11th Group Army, in the battle to clear the Japanese army, fortunately did not fail in his mission and killed Lieutenant General Yamashita Fengfumi, commander of the 15th Army of the Japanese Chieftain, and Lieutenant General Gong Qi, the commander of the division, please give instructions to the commander-in-chief!" ”

Liu Zhi only glanced at it, and confirmed the identity of Yamashita Fengwen, "Commander Zhang, okay, you have made a great contribution, go down and rest," Zhang Tiren walked away with his chest folded, his mission has been completed, and next, it is the matter of his cousin, Liu Zhi did not delay for too long, and hurried back to the office, he wanted to dig out his mind, how to report good news to Chongqing.

At this time, Tang Qiuli received another news that made him burn inside, Liu Hongzhang, the commander of the First Brigade, reported that the missing soldiers had been found in a cave, and they had all been sacrificed, and only one seriously injured soldier confided an amazing news before he died.
