    Chapter 415: Must Kill

    The worries of Feng Jiwu and Li Honggang are absolutely justified. The troops of the Japanese Army have tasks in three battlefields, and they cannot be spared. In the Peking Encirclement, 140,000 people surrounded the 130,000 Japanese troops. They were originally thin-skinned.  The truth is that Xiangyue Qingsi did not dare to repeatedly compete with him for positions outside Peiping, for fear of losing Tianjin and then Peiping.

    On the front line from Shanhaiguan to Suizhong, 160,000 troops are stuck together with the 120,000 Kwantung Army southward troops. The division commander also plans to kill the Itagaki division. Without enough troops, it is absolutely impossible. What should Tianjin do?

    The headquarters fell into silence, everyone was thinking. Mei Ting quietly withdrew and told the staff not to disturb the division commander, deputy division commander and chief of staff for the time being. They were thinking about important issues. Mei Ting's delicacy was reflected in every step.  In a small way, this was one of the reasons why Tang Qiuli fell in love with her more and more.

    Tang Qiuli carefully calculated his family's financial situation, and felt a little relieved that he still had troops on hand that could be mobilized.

    " Subsequently, he proposed a campaign concept, and Feng Jiwu and Li Honggang added that they quickly made corresponding arrangements for the overall strategic layout of North China and formulated a Tianjin anti-landing operation plan.

    Feng Jiwu immediately rushed to the front line of Peiping to take over Liu Tiehan's work. Liu Tiehan was specifically responsible for Tianjin's anti-landing operations and unified command of all troops.

    Liu Feng's Tianjin Police Force and eight urban combat teams formed a ** division rapid response brigade, with former Tianjin Police Chief Liu Feng as the brigade commander, former urban combat team detachment leader Wang Zhanqun as the deputy brigade commander, and former Tianjin Municipal Police Chief Liu Feng as the brigade commander.  Wang Mancang, captain of the second detachment of the combat team, serves as chief of staff.

    The brigade has five regiments under its jurisdiction, with a total strength of more than 16,000 troops. It is the brigade with the largest number of troops in the ** Division. After its formation, it was immediately transferred to the command of Deputy Division Commander Liu Tiehan to participate in the anti-landing operations in Tianjin.

    The more than 11,000 troops of Zhou Yushan of the **Division Transportation Headquarters and the more than 29,000 troops of Su Jingfeng of the Yellow River and Henan Defense Line Guard Corps of the **Division were temporarily placed under the command of Deputy Division Commander Liu Tiehan to participate in the anti-landing operations in Tianjin.

    The cavalry brigade He Zhuguo of the Northeast Advance Command left behind in Shandong, with more than 19,000 troops, immediately rushed to the front line of Peiping to take over the defense of Chu Xianzeng, the fifth brigade of the ** Division. Chu Xianzeng's more than 13,000 troops  Troops were immediately transferred to the direction of Tianjin.

    In this way, Tang Qiuli scraped together and forced Liu Tiehan to add nearly 70,000 troops, bringing the strength of Tianjin's defenders to about 100,000. They had a land advantage and could compete with the Japanese sea reinforcements.  It was he who mobilized all the available troops.

    Tang Qiuli did not dare to move the last two brigades of the East Pointer in Shandong. Who knew that the Japanese would suddenly attack the port on the coast of Shandong, land tens of thousands of people, and stab himself in the back, hoping that Han Fuju would  The troops might as well stick out their necks and let the Japanese chop them.

    Tang Enbo¡¯s troops from the Eighth Army Corps of the Central Army in the Henan direction can be mobilized partially, but can Tang Enbo¡¯s troops be used with confidence?  Don't see the Japanese warships. The soldiers are not doing well. Commander Tang Corps ran away first.

    Feng Jiwu rushed to Peking overnight with the anti-landing battle plan in Tianjin, and jointly assumed the battle command in the Pingjin area with Liu Tiehan. Tang Qiuli put aside the affairs in Tianjin and concentrated on the Itagaki division in front of him.

    At night, a strong salty sea breeze blew from the Bohai Sea. Tang Qiuli looked at the Japanese army position opposite, with lights and bonfires. In the night, ghost eyes flickered and danced. What was Itagaki thinking at this time?  Tang Qiuli had no way of knowing.

    When the wind blows, his short hair is flying, and his clothes are fluttering. Mei Ting clings tightly to his side, feeling the violent fluctuations in his heart. Dozens of guards are watching the surrounding movements vigilantly, and Shanhu is not there.  From a distance, he glanced at Tang Qiuli from time to time.

    Shanhaiguan suddenly opened the door of memory for him. When he passed by this place for the first time, his lover and the child in his belly were confused about life and death. When he was the saddest, he left his hometown again. The mood at that time is still intense now.  It stung his heart. He thought it could be sealed away, but instead it buried a deeper pain.

    It has been more than two years since Xiaoling and her children left. During this period, so many things happened that he thought he could forget. But when he set foot on his homeland outside the customs, everything came to life vividly. He regretted why he walked out at night and was in a familiar place.  My hometown connects bits and pieces of the past into painful memories.

    In the face of a powerful enemy, there shouldn't be such a thing to distract the mind, but it exploded irrepressibly. Tang Qiuli hated herself so much that her body trembled slightly. Mei Ting held his hand tightly. Her husband was acting abnormally at this time.  It made her very worried.

    She found that under the dim starlight, there seemed to be crystal tears flashing in her husband's eyes. She gently hugged Tang Qiuli, using her soft body to comfort her husband's painful heart.

    Tang Qiuli suddenlyThere was a strong desire to talk to him, and his wife's plump breasts gave him a vivid feeling. He took Mei Ting's hand and walked to a hillside with lush grass. He wanted to give everything he had to  Tell Mei Ting all.

    The guards hurriedly followed, but were stopped by Shan Hu. From Tang Qiuli's expression, Shan Hu had already guessed the reason for Xiao Qiu's abnormality tonight. He was the most knowledgeable person about the relationship between Tang Qiuli and Xiao Ling.

    Tang Qiuli seemed to be mumbling in his sleep, and told Mei Ting all the things hidden in his heart. Mei Ting did not interject a question, but just listened quietly. A thin layer of light gradually emerged from her big black and white eyes.  Fog, she finally understood why her husband had gray hair when he was young. It was caused by a night of sadness. Such a man deserves to be cared for with his life.

    That girl we haven¡¯t met, thanks her husband for taking care of and accompanying me in the days before I came. There is no trace of jealousy or sadness in Mei Ting¡¯s heart. She feels lucky to be by her husband¡¯s side now.

    Mei Ting gently held Tang Qiuli in her arms and gently stroked his thick hair. Time and time again, her husband seemed to be sleeping, nestled in her warm embrace, and everything was quiet.

    The conversation between the staff officer and Shan Hu seemed to come from the distant night sky, and a few crisp gunshots reverberated in the wilderness. Tang Qiuli suddenly woke up from his dream, feeling peaceful in his heart, filled with sorrow that had accumulated for several years.  , once he expressed it, he felt indescribably relaxed in his heart. He hugged his wife back gratefully, and kissed her gently on her beautiful eyes.

    Holding Mei Ting's hand and walking down the hillside, the staff officer sent information about the special operations unit. According to reconnaissance, no parallel Japanese troops were found on the right wing of the Itagaki division. The second echelon of the Kwantung Army's southward corps was two divisions away.  Itagaki Division is fifty kilometers away, with a Liugu River in between. It is the rainy season, and the water in the river has surged, making it unsuitable for mechanized troops to march.

    Itagaki Division Headquarters and its rearguard troops camped more than 20 kilometers away from the west bank of the Liugu River. Most of the division's heavy firepower is located here, but there are very few defensive troops. Details will be reported later.

    Enough, this is the information that Tang Qiuli needs most. God is wise and finally brought the Banyuan Division to his lips. The current Banyuan Division is really standing out alone, with the rolling Nuruerhu Mountain on the left.  , on the right is the vast expanse of Liaodong Bay, behind is the swollen Liugu River, and the second echelon is blocked by the river, fifty kilometers away.

    Tang Qiuli was so happy that she clenched her fist and punched it into the night sky. This action made Mei Ting amused, and her husband regained his energy. This is a charming man.

    A bold battle plan was formed in Tang Qiuli's mind. He wanted to use a tiger to dig out the heart of the Itagaki Division among the hundreds of thousands of Kwantung Army troops. The specific battle plan was to use five infantry brigades,  An artillery brigade and a cavalry brigade established blocking positions on the west bank of the Liugu River.

    On the one hand, they blocked the two divisions of the second echelon of the Kwantung Army's southward marching corps, and on the other hand, they blocked the Itagaki division's retreat. This is also the most important link in the combat plan and the most difficult task. The troops will have to face both sides.  During the battle, they were surrounded by enemies from both sides, but there were also favorable conditions, namely the Liugu River, a natural barrier. The second echelon of the Japanese army had to contend with the swollen river water before they could attack the blocking position.

    What is left is to block the Itagaki division's crazy efforts to escape. This is also the most dangerous. The injured bison is red-eyed and is really difficult to deal with. Li Honggang is responsible for this direction.

    The rest of the troops were divided into two parts. One part entered Nurluhu Mountain, and the other part was responsible for the frontal encirclement task. At the critical moment when Itagaki Division was attacked, they rushed out from the flank and inserted fiercely into Itagaki Division's left flank.  One knife to release the last drop of blood.

    A three-way siege, with one facing the sea. If the plan goes well and nothing unexpected happens, the Itagaki division will have no choice but to be completely annihilated except for jumping into Liaodong Bay to drink sea water. His own army of 160,000 will be against Itagaki's more than 50,000.  With a strength of three to one, and a firepower several times greater than that of Itagaki's division, are you still afraid that you won't be able to kill him?

    The biggest difficulty is how to secretly move tens of thousands of troops and hundreds of artillery pieces to Itagaki's rear without him noticing, and tighten his pockets. This is a difficult problem.

    Tang Qiuli stared at Nuerluhu Mountain. In the night, the mountains undulated like running beasts. Dark clouds gradually rose, covering the already dim starlight. The night wind became stronger. A few raindrops fell coldly.  It was going to rain on Tang Qiuli's forehead.

    The troops walked into the Nurluhu Mountains. Only in this way could it not alert Itagaki and achieve the purpose of keeping it secret. However, the infantry was easy to handle, but what about those heavy artillery?  Tang Qiuli believed that the soldiers would be able to overcome the difficulties. These brigades were all veteran troops of the ** division, and he believed that the soldiers would be able to do it.

    A few thunders, the heavy summer rain suddenly fell, and the sun on the opposite sideThe bonfire in the position was quickly extinguished. Tang Qiuli stood in the wind and rain like a sculpture. Tens of thousands of troops had already disappeared into the rolling mountains.

    The artillerymen disassembled the artillery into parts and carried them on horseback, which solved the problem of the artillery walking on the mountainous road. However, some heavy artillery had to be left behind. Before that, he gave an order to the special operations unit operating behind enemy lines to clear out the artillery.  There were sporadic Japanese troops and Manchurian troops along the route, surveying roads for the troops.

    The rain soaked his clothes. Mei Ting carefully held up an umbrella, but half of her body was soaked in the rain. Tang Qiuli gave Li Honggang only twenty hours. He kept radio silence along the way.  .

    Heavy rain hid the whereabouts of the troops, but increased their difficulties. Can Li Honggang reach the designated location on time?
