Chapter 1386: Taking over the command
In the distance, he saw nearly 10,000 people gathered there, and bursts of wild laughter, Tian Xiaozhu ordered: "Combat preparation" arrived at the scene, and he saw a scene that will never be forgotten.
Several young women, stripped naked by more than a dozen men, committed violence on the street, the surrounding onlookers, constantly applauding, Tian Xiaozhu's blood all over his body, all poured into his face, raised the submachine gun in his hand, towards the sky is a shuttle, the sound of gunfire alarmed everyone, even the dozen or so violent thugs, also stopped the crazy twitching.
Tian Xiaozhu was about to step forward and arrest the dozen or so thugs, but I don't know who shouted, "Look, it's the Chinese soldiers, kill them!" Hula, sixteen division soldiers, surrounded by nearly 10,000 thugs in the middle, Tian Xiaozhu was just about to open his mouth to stop, his abdomen was cold, and a snowy chapter 1386 took the command dagger and stabbed it into his abdomen, before losing consciousness, Tian Xiaozhu poured all the submachine gun bullets in his hand into the chest of the man holding the bloody dagger with a hideous face.
The other fighters shouted heartbreakingly: "Squad leader! Immediately, there was a short and fierce burst of gunfire, and then, tens of thousands of thugs, overwhelmed the figures of the soldiers.
Ten minutes later, 16 bloody corpses, covered in knife wounds, were dragged upside down by the mob and hung on trees on both sides of the street, along with the Chinese women.
On this night, the small patrols of the garrison units of the Indochina Peninsula garrison area of the division were attacked by thugs in different ways, and the brave soldiers did not die on the battlefield or fall under the guns of the Japanese soldiers. but fell on the streets of the city for which they had kept the peace. Fall under the butcher's knife of the thug.
Major General Ma Chaoyang, commander of the Indochina Peninsula Garrison Region, after receiving reports from various localities in the Vientiane Headquarters, his face was pale, his teeth were gritted, and he ordered the communications staff officer: "Report to the division commander immediately, and at the same time, report to Deputy Division Commander Tang, and order the troops." According to the order of the division commander, in case of an attack, you can fire before the thugs, and kill these bastards for me Chapter 1386 Take over the command! β
Tang Qiuli's special plane. At about 4 o'clock in the morning, he landed at the Yangon field airfield, and as soon as he got off the special plane, he felt a tense atmosphere, and the guards inside the airport were markedly strengthened.
Tang Qiuli ordered the commander of the airport guard regiment who came to greet him: "Send the guard troops immediately. (www.suimeng.com Follow me to the division commander" The regiment commander said in embarrassment: "Report to the division commander, I have just received a telegram from Deputy Division Commander Tang that all the roads leading to Yangon city have been cut off by the mob, and Deputy Division Commander Tang's opinion is that I ask the division commander to establish a headquarters at the airport. β
Tang Qiuli snorted angrily and said sharply: "Connect the phone number of Deputy Division Commander Tang to me" The regiment commander said in a low voice: "I'm sorry Division Commander, all the wired telephone lines." It's all out of nowhere" Tang Qiu couldn't speak, but the anger in his heart instantly steamed, and he had nearly a million troops in his hands. But I can't even get into a Yangon city, what a fucking nest!
The airport received a telegram from Tang Qiusheng. The preliminary preparations have been made, as soon as Tang Qiuli arrived, the confidential communication group immediately began to work, and ten minutes later, the contact with Tang Qiusheng and Chang Feng was communicated, Tang Qiuli said with a cold face: "Mei Xue records, immediately order Deputy Division Commander Tang, Commander Chang Feng, and Commander Ma Chaoyang to report on the speed of the troops' advance, and where they have arrived now?" β
Mei Xue has already changed her identity to Tang Qiuli's confidential secretary, and after repeating the order, she immediately handed it over to Liu Tianhong to send it, Tang Qiuli's heart was very dissatisfied with Tang Qiusheng, Chang Feng, and Ma Chaoyang, and the time when his special plane took off from Dingbian was about 9:40 that night, and the time when it arrived at Yangon Field Airport was 4 o'clock in the morning.
For more than six hours, the heavily armed troops, in the face of a group of irrational rabble, were not able to control order in various places, and even Yangon did not open a passage, which can only show one problem, several commanders, when conveying their orders to the troops, discounted, so that the troops were tied up when they advanced.
Sure enough, as Tang Qiuli expected, when Tang Qiusheng and Chang Feng called back, they somewhat revealed that they were afraid of hurting innocent citizens, and when they gave orders to the troops, they asked to shoot cautiously, especially Chang Feng, some of the troops directly under his command rushed to Mandalay, and some entered from the east of Yangon.
His order to the troops was "to focus on persuasion and guidance, and never allow shooting until absolutely necessary, so as not to cause casualties to innocent civilians" Tang Qiuli read Chang Feng's telegram and scolded angrily: "The kindness of a woman!" Scholar's view! β
However, Ma Chaoyang's telegram made Tang Qiuli very comforted, and only Ma Chaoyang's troops in the Indochina Peninsula Garrison Region resolutely carried out their orders completely and uncharacteristically, but there were too many cities where the garrison troops needed to quell the riots, and some troops were still on the way to the emergency march.
Therefore, his reply to Ma Chaoyang was very simple: "Ma Chaoyang, when you are not the benevolence of a woman and the style of a gentleman, you are not afraid of killing mistakes, you are afraid that you can't bear it, let go of your hands and feet, and counter violence with violence, before 12 o'clock at noon today, I want to hear the news that your troops are all in control of the target city, block all the ways out, and don't let a thug go!" β
Ma Chaoyang, who received the telegram from the division commander, threw his hat on the table and shouted: "Immediately convey my order to all brigades and regiments, dispatch tanks and armored vehicles, and put light and heavy machine guns on the first mount, and those who do to block the advance of the troops do not need to ask for instructions, use shells and bullets to talk to them, before 11 o'clock at noon today, all units must enter the predetermined target city, let go of their hands and feet, if something goes wrong, Lao Tzu will bear full responsibility!" β
The second order he issued was that "in light of the current situation in Yangon and Mandalay, in order to control the situation and prevent the riot from continuing to expand, the command of the division directly under the corps and the Sulu mobile corps will be exercised by the division commander, and at the same time, Chang Feng, chief of staff of the division and commander of the directly subordinate corps, should be ordered to immediately return to the temporary division headquarters to report on his work." β
The issuance of this order means that the command rights of Deputy Division Commander Tang Qiusheng and Chief of Staff Chang Feng have been deprived, and the commanders of the two corps have been removed from command at the same time, which is the first time in the history of the division, especially since one is the third person in the division, the other is the chief of staff of the division, and the fourth person has a huge impact on the troops.
The treatment of Chang Feng was stricter, and he was transferred back directly from the front line, Shanhu and Mei Xue glanced at each other, and then looked at Tang Qiuli, whose face was pale, they felt that something was wrong, but in the face of Tang Qiuli who was angry, they obviously wouldn't listen to anything.
In Yangon, Tang Qiusheng, deputy division commander in the division headquarters, after seeing this telegram, smiled bitterly and said to Yang Ketian, chief of staff of the division headquarters: "Ketian, immediately convey the order of the division commander to the brigade commanders, explaining that the command has been transferred to the division commander. β
Yang Ketian hesitated for a moment, and said tentatively: "Deputy division commander, do you want to explain it to the division commander?" Explain the situation we are facing? β
Tang Qiusheng shook his head, and he asked himself, "Am I indecisive?" Or is it not ruthless enough, or lack of experience in dealing with emergencies? He walked to the window and looked at the hundreds of corpses lying outside the division headquarters, which were left behind by the thugs who tried to storm the division headquarters a few hours ago, and they were shot with the order of himself, and suddenly, Tang Qiusheng felt unprecedented fatigue.
Chang Feng silently read Tang Qiuli's telegram, and calmly said to the communications staff officer: "The full text conveys the orders of the division commander to all brigades and regiments, and the guards will be driven back to the temporary division headquarters in Yangon immediately by car" Between the words, there was an indescribable loneliness.
After Tang Qiuli took over the command of the two corps, the first call he received was from Liu Hongzhang, the commander of the First Brigade of the Corps, who shouted in a loud voice: "Division commander, what kind of order did the corps headquarters order?" Persuasion and persuasion, what we are facing is a group of madmen who have lost their minds, they don't understand the language, and they are deliberately making trouble, it is useless to wear out their mouths, my soldiers have been stabbed to death by dozens and injured thousands! β
Tang Qiuli said coldly: "Liu Hongzhang, you can tell you that your tanks and armored vehicles are papier-mΓ’chΓ©?" Is it an ornament? Is the spear in your soldier's hand a burning stick? Or are you Liu Hongzhang a bear bag soft egg? Remember, they're not ordinary people, they're a bunch of dehumanizing thugs, so don't you need me to teach you how to do it? Before ten o'clock this morning, I will hear your report on the situation in Mandalay! β
Liu Hongzhang grinned and said: "Commander, it's easy to do with your order, we don't even pay attention to the little devils, let alone these rabble!" In less than ten o'clock, in three hours, you will receive my report! β
Tang Qiuli's order to the brigades and regiment commanders of the Sulu Mobile Corps was a few simple sentences: "I order that the 1st to 5th Brigades of the Corps form an encirclement around Yangon, block all roads, railways, and ports, and do not allow anyone to leave Yangon. β
Subsequently, he issued the following order to Shen Jun, director of the Investigation Division, and Yu Deshui, director of the Intelligence Division: "Shen and Yu, the two directors, immediately start sorting out all the information, register and make a register, and after receiving my order, immediately start arresting, authorizing you, you can arrest any suspicious person, no evidence is needed, you must dig deep, dig out the mastermind behind the scenes, never let go of any thug, if you encounter resistance to arrest, shoot on the spot!" β
After finishing these, the sky was already bright, Tang Qiuli sat on the chair tiredly, without saying a word, Mei Xue brought in breakfast, he just ate a few bites hastily, and then put down the chopsticks, compared with the usual gobbling up posture, it was too much worse, obviously there was no appetite, and besides, he was so worried that Mei Xue felt distressed for a while.
In Mei Xue's memory, even in the face of the Japanese army's large-scale attack, her husband was talking and laughing, eating and gobbling up, what happened today? At this time, Tang Qiuli's mood was very complicated, because he was about to face Chang Feng!!. wW
