Chapter 583: No Forgiveness (1)

Tang Enbo had a good reason to extricate himself, and he believed that his greatest merit was to save most of the troops for Chairman Chiang, and the Eighth Army Corps, except for the 53rd Division and the 130th Division, which were completely wiped out, the other divisions, although there were many deserters and flees in the process of breaking and fleeing, also brought back more than half of the troops.

Gathered together, there were more than 120,000 people in the Eighth Army Corps, and he could explain that the Eighth Army Corps was constantly resisting the large-scale attack of the Japanese army, and after several bloody battles, in the face of the Japanese attack with superior firepower, it had to retreat to the Xiangfan area of Hubei Province to preserve its strength in preparation for a future counterattack on Henan.

As for the loss of nearly half of the troops, the scapegoats were, of course, Liu Zhaoyu, commander of the 53rd Division, and Cao Guangtu, commander of the 130th Division.

These are not enough, those important members of the state government, that is not an insatiable guy, Tang Enbo, who knows this well, took out a thousand gold bars from his own pocket, sent his henchmen to live in Nanjing, move around, and open up all kinds of joints, this move is very effective, many important members of the state government have to stand up for him, and talk to Chairman Chiang, but the war in Songhu and Hangzhou Bay is tight, and Chairman Chiang has no time to take care of this matter, so he did not ask for an official document.

Tang Enbo is not in a hurry, hiding in Xiangfan, there is food and drink, and financial resources, close to the water and land wharf of Xiangfan, the oil and water are much thicker than the poor place in Henan, besides, the longer the time drags on, the less the stimulation of Henan to the old man, and then there are a few victories to follow, as soon as the old man is happy, he loses Henan, it is not a matter at all, the big thing is a small matter, and the person who speaks for himself can also open his mouth.

Of course, this thousand gold bars, he Tang Enbo did not have to pay out of his own pocket, these division commanders, brigade commanders, division commanders and the like, when they heard that the corps commander paid for the Eighth Army to find a way out, they were all greatly moved, and they all donated generously, you ten gold bars, I twenty gold bars, so together, Tang Enbo not only did not lose money, but also earned more than 100 gold bars.

If the old man is Tang Enbo's big tree, then Tang Enbo is the big tree of these senior officers of the Eighth Legion, the big tree has fallen, where do these people go to enjoy the cool, the most important thing is that these people know their catties, except for the Eighth Army Commander Tang Corps, they can't be mixed with a fat brain, a bulging waist, and a prosperous wind.

Tang Enbo was not moved by the loyalty of these officers under him, these guys, that are not veterans of making money, this bit of belongings is just a drizzle for them, and afterwards, within the Eighth Army Corps, a small rumor circulated that the matter of going to Nanjing for activities was deliberately released by the commander of the Tang Corps.

During this period, the secret agents he sent also successively sent back the latest news on the battlefield in Henan, about the Kaifeng and Shangqiu blockade battles, about the Xuzhou victory, etc., Tang Enbo was not interested, Tang Qiuli and Li Zongren's troops, and the Japanese fought to the death and live, what I really need to pay attention to is the news of Nanjing, he did not expect that Tang Qiuli at this time was digging three feet into the ground to find his whereabouts.

Today, Tang Enbo received a secret telegram from his cronies in Nanjing, the matter has been roughly settled, several senior members of the state government, trying their best to lobby, there will be results in the near future, please wait patiently for a few more days, there will be good news coming, Tang Enbo's heart stone landed.

The purpose of his meeting today is what to do next, the Eighth Army Corps must not rely on Xiangfan and not leave, but must find a good place to go, which can not only be far away from the Japanese, but also have a rich defense area, that is the best, Henan He does not want to go back, he thinks about it, his liver trembles, where is too close to the Japanese, maybe when the Japanese come again, the guns do not have long eyes, I can't recognize the dignified corps commander, a shell flies over, I am afraid that he will no longer have such good luck, besides, the Japanese are easy to provoke?

The Songhu area is good, but there is a lot of artillery fire everywhere, and after discussing for a long time, there is no result, these people under his command have their own plans, and no one can convince anyone, and they are so noisy that they are blushing and thick-necked, and they are angry.

At this moment, the attendant adjutant ran in with a nervous face, lying on Tang Enbo's ear and muttering a few words, Tang Enbo was stunned, how did Tang Qiuli find here? His place of residence is hidden enough, how can he feel it so clearly, what is the purpose of his coming? I was spreading eyeliner in Xiangfan, why didn't I get any news in advance? A series of question marks rose in Town's mind.

Dealing with yourself on behalf of the Military Council of the State Government? Tang Qiuli held the title of vice chairman, and then, he denied his judgment, if this was the case, Nanjing would not fail to receive news, and he could not guess the intention of Tang Qiuli's sudden arrival, so he told his cronies about the matter.

When these people heard this, they panicked at that time, the vice chairman of the Military Committee came, it must have something to do with the war in Henan, these people, the body is not clean, there are ghosts in their hearts, especially those few division commanders who fled from the battlefield, what do they do, like a mirror in their hearts, it is the crime of killing the head, he does not have a backstage like Tang Enbo, Tang Qiu can't deal with him, and it is not a problem to ask a few division commanders and brigade commanders for guilt.

An atmosphere of panic shrouded in the hall, Tang Enbo couldn't help but be annoyed when he saw his subordinates like pus, **, making money to play with women is an expert, when it comes to big things, all of them are pus, a milky Tang Qiuli will scare you like this, and expect to do something big, he is not afraid of Tang Qiuli, in his eyes, except for Chairman Jiang, the big man in the government can't move him, not to mention, he is not under his direct jurisdiction.

Since Tang Qiuli came to the door, it was not okay not to see him, he ordered: "Open the door to greet Vice Chairman Tang," the director of political training muttered a few words in his ear, Tang Enbo nodded again and again, the director of political training hurriedly walked out to arrange, Tang Enbo led a cadre of important members of the Eighth Army Corps to the door to greet him.

The door suddenly opened, Tang Qiu stood with his hands in his hands, his face was calm, the guards of the Tang Mansion stood on both sides of the house very well-behaved, Tang Enbo knew the vice chairman of the young man's ambition, and he had been envious and jealous, seeing that Tang Qiuli's attaché was only about 20 people, he was very relieved, and shouted loudly from afar: "Oh, Vice Chairman Tang is coming to Xiangfan, why don't you notify me in advance, I am sorry to go to the suburbs to greet me, I'm sorry, the Eighth Army is holding a military meeting, and I have been bothered that Vice Chairman Tang has been waiting for a long time."

After speaking, the "snap" stood up and saluted, and the officers who followed him also stood up and saluted, at least from the surface, Tang Enbo did the scene enough, but Tang Qiuli saw the panic and fierce light in the eyes of the officers behind Tang Enbo, he smiled, and after returning the salute, he said: "What, Tang came abruptly?" Or did Captain Tang have other private matters and didn't want outsiders to know? As the vice chairman of the Military Commission, I inspect the military affairs of various localities, and this is my duty, so there is no need to notify the military and political officials in various localities in advance, right? ”

Tang Enbo was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that as soon as Tang Qiuli opened his mouth, he didn't save face for himself at all, and there was something else in his words, the person who came was not good, the fierce light in his eyes flashed, he smiled on his face, he didn't mention what happened just now, he bowed down and asked Tang Qiuli to come in to talk, Tang Qiuli was not polite, Shi Shiran walked in, behind him was Tang Enbo with a sinking face and a senior officer of the Eighth Army with a cloudy face, and then, the door closed tightly with a "bang".

The fierce light in Tang Enbo's eyes just now was keenly captured by Tang Qiuli and Shanhu, seeing Tang Enbo, Tang Qiuli couldn't wait to give this guy a shot immediately, and he didn't even have the mood to talk nonsense with him, but he hadn't figured out the reality of his house, so he couldn't help it, so he stimulated him fiercely, come over, judging from Tang Enbo's appearance, this guy has been prepared, and he is extremely wary of himself.

While walking inside, the mountain tiger observed the terrain, and with his hands behind his back, he made an unobtrusive gesture towards the twenty soldiers of the special guard team who followed behind, and the team members exchanged glances with each other, as if they were scattered everywhere at random, if they were experts, it could be seen that the location of these team members happened to block all the passages into the hall, and they could deal with emergencies in all aspects.

Only five warriors followed Tang Qiuli and Shanhu into the hall, and the rest. All stayed outside, but unfortunately, none of Tang Enbo's straw bales could see it, and they pouted with disdain, not following their superiors in, close protection, but staying outside, as soon as the door of the hall was closed, what happened inside, it was too late to rush in, it seemed that this Tang Qiuli's subordinates were not bad, and their contempt was great.

When he arrived in the hall, Tang Qiuli sat unceremoniously in Tang Enbo's position, took off Tang Long's spear, and put it on the table covered with a green military blanket.

Tang Qiu glanced around and asked, "Are these all the senior officers of the Eighth Legion?" Tang Enbo didn't even move his body, his eyes were expressionless, and he replied lightly: "Yes, all the officers above the brigade level of the Eighth Army Corps, and all the division chiefs of the Corps Department are here, please give instructions to Vice Chairman Tang."

Tang Qiuli sat up straight, suddenly, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and a faint smile on his face suddenly disappeared, his eyes shot directly at Tang Enbo, and he asked in a cold tone: "Commander Tang, who approved you to leave the established defense area and come to Xiangfan, Hubei without authorization to garrison?" ”

All the officers of the Eighth Army Corps below Tang Enbo did not expect that Tang Qiuli would ask this question straight to the point, and he was straightforward, and he had the intention of asking the teacher for the crime, and they were all stunned, and for a while, the atmosphere in the hall was as dull as a freeze.
