Chapter 574: The Wind and Cloud in the Milli State (2)

The ancient city of Kaifeng gradually disappeared from view, Tang Qiuli had a strong sense of guilt in his heart, and even hanging on to the place where Su Da Man sacrificed was a kind of luxury, when would he have leisure? He couldn't help but sigh deeply, sitting behind him, Qiuquan and Shanhu, looking at each other, both understood that this to the young division commander, that sigh contained too many emotions, the car fell into silence, only the snow flashed continuously outside the car window.

The convoy arrived at Shangqiu, it is also a state of ruin, the city, there is already vitality and vitality, the people who fled from their homes have rushed back one after another, with their own hands, rebuilding their homes on the ruins, although life is hard, after all, there is no trampling of the iron hooves of the Japanese invaders, and there is no need to worry about being slaughtered, perhaps, that earth-shattering bloody battle will become the pride of the city, and become the permanent pride of the citizens, they have dedicated themselves to the national war of resistance.

Tang Qiuli also had ups and downs, General Zhang Zizhong died here, from Kaifeng to Shangqiu, just a few hours by car, he actually killed two of his generals, nearly 40,000 soldiers, this is the land that has been soaked in the blood of the fallen soldiers, he has a naïve and strange idea, next spring, the spring breeze blows, the earth recovers, the flowers here, is it more vivid?

And this qiē is all the result of Tang Enbo's evil, this damn guy, there should also be a whereabouts, Yu Deshui and Shen Jun have been gone for a long time, why hasn't there been any news at all? In Tang Qiuli's heart, Tang Enbo had already been sentenced to death, and only in this way could he comfort Zhang Zizhong and Su Jingfeng and the heroic souls of tens of thousands of soldiers.

Day and night, on the afternoon of January 19, Tang Qiuli led the troops, and finally arrived in Maozhou, looking at the light smoke of Haozhou from afar, as if covered with a veil, hazy, roughly see an outline, just like the current situation in Maozhou, not very clear, this is a piece of land deep into Henan, in the geographical location of Anhui, belongs to a remote area, far away from Hefei, the capital of Anhui, perhaps, this is what is the mayor of Li Zonghan, one of the reasons why he dares to make waves, right?

The convoy arrived at the north gate of Maozhou, and Yu Guanghan, chief of staff of the independent division who had arrived here in advance, on behalf of Tang Qiuli, who had expressed his condolences to the officers and men of the Sulu Garrison Corps and was preparing to escort the body of General Zhang Zizhong to Dingbian, was anxiously looking at the convoy when he saw a long convoy, with a relieved expression on his face.

He told Tang Qiuli that the organization of the "Maozhou Anti-Japanese Support Association" had incited tens of thousands of citizens who did not know the truth to surround the Sulu garrison corps from this morning, and attacked the camp several times.

In the process of the physical conflict, a number of soldiers were injured, and some young officers, who had already been unable to control their feelings, shouted for a solution by force, and led many soldiers to petition in front of the corps headquarters, and the crowd was indignant.

Tang Qiuli's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said to Guanghan: "Guanghan, lead the way, go directly to the corps station" Yu Guanghan got into the car, Tang Qiuli obviously felt that the atmosphere in Haozhou was very abnormal, and the citizens looked at the passing military vehicles with disgust and contempt, and some people even spit on them fiercely.

When he arrived at the station of the Sulu garrison corps, Tang Qiuli was also taken aback by the situation in front of him, there were twenty or thirty thousand citizens, waving various banners, shouting slogans, the gate of the camp was crumbling, the soldiers were resisting with their bodies, and they had to withstand the attacks of bricks, tiles, etc., and he clearly saw that blood had been shed on the heads of many soldiers.

The contents of the banners are varied, such as "the shame of the nation, the scum of the national army", "the troops that do not resist, get out of the state", and so on, and there are several people wearing tunics and combing shiny heads, standing on a high place, holding a loudspeaker, where the leader shouts slogans, obviously the organizers.

Tang Qiuli's eyes shot cold light and anger, he got out of the car, took off Tang Long's gun, and shot into the air in a burst, Qingyue's gunfire overshadowed the slogans of the demonstrators, and the few people with horns were stunned by the sudden gunshots, and turned their heads to look, seeing that it was another group of soldiers, and they were bold.

Immediately pointed the signs at the new group of soldiers, "Citizens, look, the soldiers have fired, they are in a gang, the officials protect each other, they will play prestige on us ordinary people, when the Japanese come, where are they hiding?" Go, let them be officials and give an explanation"

Not to mention, this kid's eloquence is good, his words are clear, coupled with the loudspeaker amplification, the signs of the demonstrator crowd immediately came towards Tang Qiu and swarmed over, and there was a tendency to surround Tang Qiu from them in the middle.

In the face of more than a million Japanese troops, Tang Qiuli, whose face did not change, could not be frightened by this formation, and handed Tang Long's spear to a guard, standing with his hands in his hands, with a sneer of contempt on the corner of his mouth, he knew that the mountain tiger had a way to deal with this kind of scene, and the mountain tiger made a gesture towards the troops.

The crowd that was hugging over, felt that the figures in front of them were flashing, a human wall, like a mountain blocking the front, the muzzle of the black hole, the flat brush, the crowd suddenly stopped, they were not afraid of the muzzle, but also sure that the soldiers did not dare to shoot, mainly because of the momentum of these soldiers in front of them, but not those soldiers who were besieged by them for most of the day.

These people, the murderous aura on their bodies is irrepressibly emanated, and the smell of iron and blood on their bodies makes their hairs stand on end, and their bodies are cold, and their eyes, like knives shining with cold light, pierce straight into their hearts.

For a moment, the little courage that had been summoned just now, as a cold sweat dissipated, actually took a few steps back in fear, as if to stay away from these officers, in front of them, it was really uncomfortable, those people with horns, looking anxious, were about to agitate, suddenly interrupted by a loud voice.

It's a mountain tiger, this guy, standing there like a hill, the guy in his hand is also infiltrating, the person is tall and big, and the voice is also high, "Vice Chairman of the Military Commission of the National Government, Commander-in-Chief of the Yellow River Basin Theater, Commander of the North China Independent Division, General Tang Qiuli is here, let your leaders come and speak"

The shadow of the famous tree, Tang Qiuli's name, has long been spread throughout the country, large photos, appeared many times in major newspapers across the country, the July 7 Incident, fired the first shot of the all-out war of resistance, overnight, killed more than 100,000 little devils, and also laid down Tianjin, the northern battlefield, all rely on him for support, otherwise, the city of Haozhou, has long been the world of the Japanese, if anyone says that he does not resist the Japanese, it is looking for Bian, and no one will agree.

The crowd was in a commotion, and then leaned forward, this time it was not a demonstration, but to see the demeanor of the second person in the national government, the small millizhou, such a big man came, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, missed, maybe regret it for a lifetime, Tang Qiuli boarded the car with a smile.

"Citizens, the state has national laws, the army has military regulations, the Sulu garrison corps of the independent division, whether it is a desertion from the battle, fearing the enemy like a tiger, has its own public opinion, as their division commander, I came from the North China front line, specially dealing with this matter, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer, your behavior today is very irrational, and I cannot tolerate it, my soldiers, will not let people bully, everyone disbands immediately, otherwise, I will order the troops to take tough measures, and the consequences caused by them will be borne by you."

As soon as these words were said, the righteousness and strictness were given, that is, the answer was given, and there was a warning, which immediately shocked all the people, and after thinking about it, I was afraid, these soldiers, if they used their guns, they didn't know what was going on, Vice Chairman Tang was here, he would not deceive everyone, and the crowd of demonstrators dispersed immediately, and those boys wearing Mao suits and combing their hair were not good, and when they saw that things were not good, they threw away the horns, and immediately got into the crowd, and disappeared in the crowd.

Qiuquan glanced at the detachment leader, and more than a dozen soldiers in civilian clothes immediately squeezed into the crowd, and the three of them stared at one, these boys, they still thought they had a plan, who knew that their whereabouts had fallen into the eyes of the soldiers of the special operations detachment.

The door of the camp was wide open, Feng Zhi'an led a group of officers, greeted him, and when he saw Tang Qiuli, Feng Zhi'an had mixed feelings, Tang Qiuli hurriedly took his hand, "Old General Feng, you have been wronged, commanders at all levels of the Sulu Garrison Corps, everyone has been wronged, please forgive Qiu for being one step late, let everyone suffer injustice." ”

After speaking, Tang Qiuli gave these officers a military salute in a dignified manner, and all the soldiers of the guard brigade behind him also saluted in unison, their strong arms, like a waving forest, the soldiers of the Sulu garrison corps who fought bloodily deserve the respect of the elites in these troops.

Enough, since Feng Zhi'an and below, all the officers of the Sulu garrison corps, tears fell at once, the soldiers are not afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice, what they are afraid of is being misunderstood, Shangqiu bloody battle for two days, the commander Zhang Zizhong was killed, and more than 20,000 brothers in life and death died, but they were scolded for fleeing from the battlefield, and the grievances and resentment in their hearts made their hearts twist like knives, and they would have feelings that were out of control.

The division commander came, the division commander understood our situation, the iron-clad men turned the grievances in their hearts into two lines of tears, and the soldiers who were broken off their heads next to them cried even more, and the corners of Tang Qiuli's eyes were also moist, these days, these bloody and sacrificed soldiers, how many grievances they have suffered, he fully understands the mood of the soldiers at this moment.

Feng Zhi'an put away his tears, this old general who was more than half a hundred years old, did not feel undignified because he shed tears in front of the young Tang Qiuli, in his heart, he was full of reverence for Tang Qiuli, he said loudly: "All the soldiers, put away your tears, don't let the division commander see the appearance of the soldiers of the old 29th Army, cheer up, and go to the battlefield tomorrow to kill the little devils."

With Feng Zhi'an's words, the atmosphere of the audience changed, a kind of high-spirited fighting spirit, rising on the bodies of these soldiers, Tang Qiuli nodded secretly, worthy of the old foundation of the Northwest Army, the blood left by the old army commander, there is a kind of strength in his bones that does not admit defeat.

Feng Zhi'an invited Tang Qiuli into the camp, Tang Qiuli smiled and grabbed him, "Commander Feng, go, follow me to see someone" Without that person, after letting his soldiers bleed, no matter how much they were wronged and humiliated, they could still be safe, this person, Tang Qiuli must see immediately.
