Yu Deshui, director of the intelligence department of the independent division, and Shen Jun, director of the investigation department, never imagined that the division commander Tang Qiuli would just like this, and let the two departments, especially the intelligence department, which was a dereliction of duty by Yan zhòng, lightly put it over, and just briefly mentioned a few words.

Seeing that the two of them were in a daze, Tang Qiuli laughed and said, "What? Two directors, don't you want to leave, are you waiting for me to arrange dinner? Yu Deshui and Shen Jun hurriedly stood up, and Yu Deshui said ashamedly: "Commander, thank you for your forgiveness, but if you don't punish me, I am uneasy, and I can't be strict with military discipline."

Tang Qiuli got up, patted Yu Deshui's shoulder, and said earnestly: "Director Yu, those who are engaged in intelligence work should have the ability to pan for gold in the sand, from the most ordinary intelligence, find huge and valuable information, and have a comprehensive understanding of the overall situation, in order to have an accurate judgment, in this way, your intelligence department, set up an intelligence analysis center, which is responsible for the screening, sorting, and grading of intelligence. ”

"However, Director Yu, you have to take care of it, after all, Bai Luoyu is too young, and sometimes, he can't see through the essence of intelligence reactions," he turned to Shen Jun and said: "Director Shen, the scope of work of your investigation department should not only be limited to catching spies, digging up traitors, and eliminating internal hidden dangers, but also establish your own intelligence network, so that I also have a reference object." ”

Tang Qiuli's words are tantamount to changing the current pattern of the intelligence system of the independent division, the intelligence system of the independent division has two major parts, one is the intelligence department of Yu Deshui, which is the main channel of intelligence sources, and the other is the special operations detachment of Chutian, the established intelligence network, which mainly focuses on military intelligence and intelligence in the area of war, and the responsibilities of the two sides overlap, but there is not much overlap.

Shen Jun's investigation department, establishing his own intelligence network, Tang Qiuli is equivalent to having a third eye and ear, which can verify the authenticity of intelligence and improve the reliability of intelligence, and this is also the prototype of his future intelligence agencies, looking at Yu Deshui and Shen Jun, when they left, Tang Qiuli smiled meaningfully.

To tell the truth, Tang Qiuli doesn't like his subordinates very much, he is obedient and honest in front of him, and in his mind, the concept of a word is very vague, and he hopes that all his subordinates can speak freely, so that they can not make big deviations and fatal mistakes, of course, the decision must be in their own hands.

At this point, he highly admires the great man of Mao, in history, several famous battles, Mao Weiren is in charge of the general direction, and the specific implementation of the campaign will be handed over to the commander of the theater, in the words of Mao Weiren with humor, "After the tune is set, the following drama will be sung by your princes." ”

As he came to this world for a long time, Tang Qiuli found that there were many differences in the history in his memory, and he didn't know if it was a mistake in the historical record or because he changed history, of course, the general direction would not change, so he used the known historical memory less and less to determine the decisions in reality.

For example, what is the chairman of Guizhou Province, Xu Liejun, in history, there is indeed a person, but in memory, there is no record of this guy stabbing himself in the back, and there is no record of Xu Liejun's victory in this military operation, that is to say, Xu Liejun acted in a farce, "This clown," Tang Qiuli thought contemptuously.

In the north of Guiyang, more than 20 kilometers away, Xiuwen, who was listening to his subordinates' report on the deployment of troops, Xu Liejun, "Ah! Suddenly, he sneezed violently and loudly, and everyone in the audience was shocked, and they all looked at the provincial chairman who thundered on the ground, and his entourage adjutant, and immediately asked anxiously and concernedly: "Chairman, are you having a cold?" ”

Xu Liejun took out a snow-white handkerchief, wrapped it and wiped his nose a few times, and said in a vague voice: "Damn, that guy is muttering to me, right?" Everyone laughed, a middle-aged officer with the rank of major general, speaking with an accent in northern Jiangsu, said jokingly: "Chairman Xu, eighty percent is the top brand of Zunyi Cuihong Mansion, Miss Narcissus, I think about you, right?" ”

Xu Liejun hurriedly smiled bitterly, "Master Wei said that he was joking, what is the outstanding number one brand in Zunyi, where rabbits don't?" "This thing is strange, how to look at it, among these officers who participated in the military conference, Xu Lie was the highest ranked, hanging the general brand, and he was still sitting on the main seat, quite a bit of a feeling of the stars holding the moon, but to the major general who spoke with a northern Jiangsu accent, it seemed to be very polite, polite, with a trace of fear.

Among them, only Xu Liejun understands in his own heart, these division commanders, on the surface, are under his own command, but these people and their soldiers are here to help the field, and they are lent to him by Chairman Jiang, and he is disrespectful to them.

Speaking of which, Xu Liejun is also enough to make a fire, and was driven all the way to Guiyang, an old devil under the mountain, all the way to Qianbei and lost Guiyang, not to mention, the team pulled up by Bali was scattered overnight, and ran to give a hand to the Japanese, Tang Qiuli's independent division troops, when they recovered Guiyang, these Qianjun who were puppet soldiers, let Tang Qiuli be a ruthless man, and a guy was cleaned up.

When Fengwen was in Duyun under the mountain, he was killed by ** and the independent division, Xu Liejun had the idea of returning Guiyang, and he thought that Tang Qiuli waved his pen, and the south of Guiyang and the entire southern Qiannan region became his Tang Qiuli's territory, and he cut off a piece of big fat meat from Guizhou, and Xu Liejun had to stay in northern Guizhou aggrievedly.

Guizhou has been a poor place since ancient times, as the saying goes, "the sky is not sunny for three days, the land is not three feet flat, and the people are not three cents of silver," Qianbei is the poorest of the poor, Xu Liejun nests in Qianbei, even if the land in the area of Qianbei is scraped three zhang low, it is also unable to make ends meet, there is no money to raise soldiers, his subordinates are separated from Germany, and the number of people who flee to death is increasing.

Xu Liejun asked to see Chairman Jiang several times, but he was not allowed, so he had to nest in Zunyi, living a bitter life, sighing every day, at this time, the savior came, the popularity was extraordinary, Xu Liejun did not know, the person who came introduced himself, "Director of the Office of the Secretary-General of the Military Commission of the National Government, surnamed Wang," did not even say his name, but took out the handwritten letter of Secretary-General Yang Yongtai.

Xu Liejun had no doubt about the identity of this person, but he didn't understand, what was the celebrity in front of Chairman Jiang, Yang Yongtai's office director, looking for himself as a straw chicken? Could it be that Chairman Chiang sympathized with his own plight and specially sent people to understand the situation? Then, reach out and pull yourself? Thinking of this, Xu Liejun was shocked, and looked at the envoy with flattering eyes.

Director Wang asked straight to the point: "Chairman Xu, are you so willing to nest in this poor place in northern Qianbei?" Have you ever thought about restoring the management of the whole province of Guizhou? Xu Liejun's stomach was full of bitter water, and he burst out all of a sudden, pulling his neck and shouting: "That bastard doesn't want to, more than 85% of the financial revenue of Guizhou Province is in the southern Qiannan region, but, Director Wang, you are knowingly asking, isn't Qiannan now being separated by Tang Qiu, why *** the rear base of the Burma theater, what can I do?" ”

Director Wang smiled incomprehensibly and said: "Chairman Xu, don't be discouraged, the opportunity is right in front of you, according to the order of the Military Commission, Xu Liejun, Chairman of the Guizhou Provincial Government, will lead the troops to restore the original administrative divisions of Guizhou Province on the same day," After speaking, he pushed an order stamped with the seal of the Military Command Department of the Military Commission in front of Xu Liejun.

Xu Liejun didn't even look at it, grinned, and said with a wry smile: "Director Wang, don't make such a joke, I, Xu someone, am almost a bare-bones commander now, and my men have no more than three thousand guns, what can I do to restore the administrative division, besides, can Tang Qiuli agree?" It's not good, even his own life is involved, that Tang Qiu is not easy to mess with! He's a ruthless guy! ”

Director Wang smiled and said, "Secretary General Yang, taking into account your practical difficulties, I will transfer you eleven divisions from the Central Army, but in the name of the Guizhou Provincial Security Forces, and change into your military uniform," Xu Lie was like being in the clouds, this great benefit, slammed on his head, and for a while, he really didn't react.

Director Wang looked at the mouse with the eyes of a cat, and looked at the dumbfounded Xu Liejun, after all, Xu Liejun was also an old man who had been in the officialdom for many years, and soon came to his senses, and asked suspiciously: "Director Wang, is this Secretary General Yang's personal intention, or is it ......?" He left half of this sentence and deliberately pushed the problem to Director Wang.

Just kidding, for no reason, he lent me eleven divisions of soldiers, in the name of my Xu Liejun, that Tang Qiuli, who is still the vice chairman of the Military Commission, is still the position above 10,000 people under one person, if Yang Yongtai takes my Xu Liejun's head for personal grievances and touches the behemoth of the independent division, when the time comes, Chairman Jiang of Chongqing is blaming, then will there be his own way to live?

How is He Yingqin? What about Chen Guofu? That one's head is not bigger than himself, that is not the red man in front of the old man, it is not that Tang Qiuli has lost his temper, it is equivalent to being under house arrest, this matter, there is no old man to speak, he can't do it alive or dead, one is poor, the two ends are not pleased, the old man is there, take himself and other scapegoats, Tang Qiuli is there, and he wants to punish his own crimes.

Two clamps, he was finished at that time, just a crime of destroying the overall situation of the Anti-Japanese War, Tang Qiuli was able to pick the guy who ate by himself, Yu Hanmou from Guangdong, this is how Tang Qiuli cleaned up, the fat meat is delicious, and it is also greedy, but you have to have a life to eat, right?

Xu Liejun, chairman of Guizhou Province, is by no means a stupid person, otherwise, Chairman Jiang would not let him go, let him do the position of a feudal official, Yang Yongtai, secretary general of the Military Commission of the National Government, is a high-powered figure, and in front of Chairman Jiang, he is also very important, but he is not Chairman Jiang.

Moreover, according to what Xu Liejun learned, there was no personal grudge between Yang Yongtai and Tang Qiuli, which made him even more suspicious that Yang Yongtai was interested in borrowing troops for his own purpose, and the water in it was very muddy, but he knew that the old man was strict with the army, and this soldier was not yet accurate, did Yang Yongtai send this surnamed Wang to fool himself and achieve his own goals?

Director Wang saw Xu Liejun's doubts, and scolded in his heart, "What an old and cunning guy, he has become like this, and he is still looking ahead, if it weren't for Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi to take the lead, such a good thing would not have fallen, and you Xu Liejun, who is so poor, scolded in his heart, but there was an unfathomable smile on his face.

Director Wang turned his head to look around, leaned his head closer to Xu Liejun, lowered his voice and said: "Chairman Xu, you said that the authorities are confused, don't you want to think about it, without the instruction of Chairman Jiang, Secretary-General Yang can mobilize so many troops?" You are also a close confidant of the commission, otherwise, the central government will send troops to help you restore your territory, such a good thing can fall on your head, and you will look forward and backward, I am afraid that the commission will be very disappointed! ”

After speaking, he took out a warrant, Xu Liejun had not seen Chairman Chiang's handwriting, and at a glance he could see that it was true, which read, "Order Yang Yongtai, Secretary General of the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government, to immediately proceed to restore the problem of confusion in the administrative divisions of the five southwestern provinces, and if necessary, to use force." ”

Xu Liejun's heart suddenly opened a window, the sun with rain and dew, when the head sprinkled down, refreshed, all over the body, since the old man spoke, how can there be a reason not to do it? Don't take advantage of the situation, that's a fool! Xu Liejun suddenly got up and said as if he swore an oath: "Liejun is willing to serve the work of the commission, and it is incumbent on him to carry out the instructions of the commission!" ”

However, in Xu Liejun's heart, there is still a mystery, what is the intention and intention of coming to such a hand after Tang Qiuli's main forces are all transferred to Burma? Is it to completely turn his face with Tang Qiuli?

In fact, not only Xu Lie didn't understand, but everyone didn't understand, he Jiang suddenly had this action, even Tang Qiu left him, and he couldn't figure out the true intentions of Jiang someone, however, he could roughly guess some of Chairman Jiang's thoughts, received some American-style equipment, and was bold enough, and wanted to call for your own rear base, and all of them were moved into the Indochina Peninsula and away from him.

With the backing of the 11 divisions of the Central Army, Xu Liejun was full of courage, and he was fed up with Tang Qiuli's cowardice, taking advantage of the fact that the main force of the independent division was entangled by the Japanese in Burma to restore his own territory.

When Tang Qiuli freed up his hand, the dust would settle down, and when the time came, the Nationalist Government would issue another official document, and he would be justified, and look at the soldiers of the brigade that Tang Qiuli sent to Guiyang, what was the name of the "Guiyang First Garrison Brigade of the Guangdong Provincial Garrison Command," isn't this a clear bully? Why did your soldiers from Guangdong Province come to my Guizhou to guard, just by virtue of this one, you will not be finished with them!

However, Xu Liejun also knows his position, and he can't command the Central Army of these 11 divisions wearing the uniforms of the Guizhou Provincial Security Forces, don't look at today's military meeting, he sits on the main seat in a big way, that is the decoration, these division commanders of the Central Army are reporting to the lieutenant general who is sitting in his hands.

This lieutenant general, named Guizhou Provincial Garrison Commander, is actually a section chief of the Second Division of the Military Command Department of the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government, named Liao Huaizheng, and is a confidant of Chen Cheng, director of the Military Command Department.

Xu Liejun can only use the strength of about one brigade of the former Guizhou Provincial Security Command, but more than 3,000 people, although the strength is small, but these are all his hardcore henchmen, in such a difficult situation in northern Qianbei, they have not changed their courts, these people, for the independent division troops who took their bowls of food, gritted their teeth.

I think that at the beginning, when the troops were stationed in Guiyang, they didn't eat and drink spicy food all day long, they were short of money, and those buying and selling shops, any one, could make ten or dozens of oceans, and the days were quite nourishing, but Tang Qiu left a word, Guiyang couldn't go back, therefore, Xu Liejun's brigade took the lead, followed by seven divisions of the Central Army, and rushed to Guiyang.

Three hours later, a reinforced platoon-sized garrison brigade patrol team of 58 people, all killed, the news reached Guiyang, the city was shaken, the brigade commander Colonel Huang Zhixiang, while quickly reporting the news to the Guangdong Provincial Garrison Command, while pulling the troops to the northern suburbs of Guiyang, arranging a defensive line, ready to meet the battle.

The First Garrison Brigade of Guiyang of the Guangdong Provincial Garrison Command is a local unit, and in the battle sequence of the independent division, it is not even a second-line unit, and the level of equipment cannot be compared.

A brigade with Xu Liejun fought all day, and at the cost of more than 800 casualties, this group of bandit troops who were eager to enter Guiyang was greatly damaged, and in front of the position, more than 2,000 corpses were left, but Xu Liejun's soldiers were not allowed to take a step forward, but the seven divisions of the Central Army troops that followed were overwhelming, and the brigade commander Huang Zhixiang knew that Guiyang was difficult to protect.

It is also thanks to Liao Huaizheng, who commanded the operation, to be cautious, before coming, Chen Cheng gave a face-to-face lecture, "Huaizheng, when you go to Guiyang, you must be cautious, Tang Qiuli's troops have very strong mobility and combat ability, all the Central Army units are their opponents, you must be sure that the independent division troops in Myanmar can only attack Guiyang without the action of returning reinforcements."

When Xu Liejun's soldiers were beaten to the ground and returned defeated, Liao Huaizheng did not plan to attack Guiyang immediately, he also had to see the movements of the main force of the independent division in Burma, so Chen Bing in Xiuwen, north of Guiyang, adopted a posture of being ready to attack at any time, and he gave himself the time to attack Guiyang, which was set three days later, that is, on August 29, at five o'clock in the morning.

Three days was enough time to see the movements of the main force of the Independent Division, and it also gave the defenders of Guiyang enough time to retreat, so after Xu Liejun came back in a hurry, he asked Liao Huaizheng to immediately start attacking the defenders of the Independent Division in Guiyang. ”

As soon as Xu Liejun saw Liao Huaizheng's face, he knew that he couldn't move this master, so he kept his mouth shut in amusement, but at today's military meeting, Liao Huaizheng had to let himself sit in the main seat, didn't he deliberately embarrass himself? With eleven division commanders, the one who listens to himself? Even the dignified army general, the chairman of Guizhou Province, sneezed, and some people ridiculed, it's really ***! Xu Liejun thought indignantly.

Liao Huaizheng's military deployment, there are no tricks, the troops to the north, east, and west of Guiyang, surrounding, leaving only the south, the division commanders are puzzled, Liao Huaizheng did not explain much, so he announced the dismissal of the meeting, leaving only Xu Liejun, where is he angry in a daze.

Don't look at Liao Huaizheng is the commander of the army appointed by Chen Cheng, and he also has his own plans in his heart, others don't know clearly, but he knows that Tang Qiuli is very powerful, for the independent division defenders in Guiyang City, Liao Huaizheng doesn't want to kill them all, it is best if they know the danger they are facing, abandon the city and retreat south, so that they can occupy Guiyang without bloodshed.

Not only did he complete Chairman Jiang's secret order, but he also did not make a feud with Tang Qiuli, otherwise, if all the defenders of the Guiyang Independent Division died in battle, then he Liao Huaizheng would be the culprit who killed more than 6,000 people in the Independent Division, and he would not be able to understand the hatred with Tang Qiuli, with Tang Qiuli's character, could he spare himself? How is Townenburg? It's not the same as being killed by Tang Qiuli!

Tang Qiuli couldn't find Chairman Jiang or Minister Chen, but he was wearing the hat of a commander, so he could run? Once Chairman Jiang submits to the soft child, he will be the scapegoat, Xu Liejun's head alone is not enough to calm Tang Qiuli's anger, there is room for everything, if possible, he even wants to advise the commander of the defenders of the independent division in Guiyang City in person, "Withdraw, it is convenient for you and me, the best of both worlds," Of course, Liao Huaizheng would never tell anyone these inner thoughts, including his wife.

Major General Chen Han, commander of the Guangzhou Provincial Garrison Command of the Independent Division, although he did not know Liao Huaizheng's true thoughts, seized this rare opportunity, and on the one hand ordered the First Brigade to garrison the city, strengthen the fortifications of the city, and wait for reinforcements, and on the other hand, urgently mobilized all the mobile forces in the garrison area, a total of five brigades, to rush to the aid of Guiyang in the starry night.

This is already the most troops that Chen Han can mobilize, in the direction of Fujian, as well as the Japanese army across the Taiwan Strait, can not draw Fujian's troops, previously, Tang Qiu left the telegram, and consulted Chen Han's opinion, "Chen Han, can Guiyang hold on for two days, reinforcements can arrive, if it is not possible, garrison the first brigade, immediately evacuate Guiyang, temporarily avoid the edge to avoid losses." ”

Chen Han's reply was, "Stick to Guiyang, don't give Xu Liejun any chance," Tang Qiuli agreed with Chen Han's opinion, so the four brigades transferred back from Burma all reinforced Guiyang, as for the Gui army in the direction of Nanning and the Sichuan army in the west of Guizhou, as long as they hurt Xu Liejun, the leading dog, they would naturally be completely eliminated.
