    Chapter 512 Datong Counterattack

    The ward was quiet and serene, with a strong smell of medicine coming to the face. A doctor and two nurses were looking at various instruments with concentration. When they saw the teacher coming in, they stood up quickly. Tang Qiuli waved his hand.  Signaling them to continue their work.

    Tang Qiuli turned his attention to Mei Ting on the hospital bed. Because her back was injured, Mei Ting could only lie on the bed. He walked over gently. His wife was still in a coma. Her long black hair covered her face, making it difficult to see.  Clear her face.

    Tang Qiuli leaned down and gently stroked his wife's long black hair. His pale and pale face made him feel pain like a knife in his heart. His naked face was so pale that it was almost transparent due to excessive blood loss. He even  You can clearly see the blood vessels, and your bright eyes are closed tightly, as if you are sleeping peacefully. Is this your energetic, youthful and beautiful wife?

    He felt his wife's weak fire of life, like a flame swaying in the wind. Life was wandering between death and survival. Tang Qiuli suddenly felt uncontrollable and intense fear. This fear made his will and nerves change.  It was extremely fragile and would collapse if touched lightly. If it weren't for Mei Ting's inaudible breathing, he almost thought his wife would sleep forever.

    This fear gripped his heart tightly. He was afraid of losing Mei Ting. He could no longer bear the pain of loss in his life. He did not dare to touch his wife's body for fear that his recklessness would blow out the swaying love.  The fire of life, for more than a year, has been accustomed to his wife's youthful body, burning him like fire. At this time, Mei Ting's fragility made Tang Qiuli's heart burst violently and break into pieces, and tears flowed down his face.  Down.

    The division commander cried. The all-powerful general actually shed tears. The doctors and nurses stood in the ward at a loss. At that moment, they clearly felt a kind of pain in their hearts. The aura was so strong that they felt  His breathing was in embarrassment. How could a person's heartache be so intense?

    Another night came, Tang Qiuli stood in front of his wife's hospital bed, staring blankly at Mei Ting who was in a coma. Everything did not exist, only her was in his eyes. No one dared or had the heart to disturb Tang Qiuli at this time.  Qiu Li, Shan Hu stood silently behind him, protecting and sharing his burden.

    The doctors and nurses who changed shifts left, and new ones came, Zhang Quan, Ma Chaoyang, Jiang Yanming and Wang Xu.  When Wu Hongtao and others came to the ward, they didn't know how to persuade the teacher who had not eaten for several meals. They could not speak and could only accompany him silently.

    Tang Qiuli recalled everything he had with his wife, the first time they met at the Yanjing Hotel in Peking, the cold and charming Mei Ting. As a subordinate, the shrewd and capable Mei Ting had to see his own Mei Ting after she woke up from an injury.  Ting, and even later they understood each other, entered each other's hearts, and became infatuated with Mei Ting.

    Every time he recalled a scene, his heart burst into pieces. He had once felt the sorrow of loss, and his heart felt gray. It was Mei Ting who gave him the color of life again. Could God have the heart to take away all his happiness?

    The night passed quietly, and the dawn appeared in the east. Tang Qiuli, who had stood like this all night, did not feel any tiredness at all. The sunlight shined through the window into the ward, driving away the coldness and depression. Mei Ting's eyes were closed tightly.  , fanned slightly, and the long eyelashes trembled.

    ??????? Tang Qiuli, who was infatuated, found no sign of his wife¡¯s resurgence of life. His eyes had penetrated the ward, flying in the distant sky on the wings of memories.

    An inaudible moan was keenly captured by Shan Hu who had been accompanying Tang Qiuli all night. He looked at Mei Ting in disbelief and was surprised to find that Mei Ting had opened her eyes slightly. Perhaps because of the pain, her  His brows wrinkled slightly, his lips moved slightly, so weak, so delicate and powerless.

    Shan Hu stepped in front of the doctor, took his arm, and pointed at Mei Ting's hospital bed. Stars danced in front of the doctor's eyes. My God, my arm was so dangling that it wasn't broken by the colonel. Just pinch it with a vise.  Like, that hurts

    Shan Hu might also feel that he was a little more energetic. With an apologetic smile, the doctor ended the pain. His arms were numb. He looked in the direction Shan Hu pointed and immediately ran to the door in surprise and shouted, "Director Yang."  With many doctors pouring into the ward, Tang Qiuli was awakened from his sleepwalking state by the sudden arrival of so many people, and then he noticed Mei Ting's tired and weak eyes.

    After the doctors were busy examining Mei Ting, Director Yang came to Tang Qiuli, who was in extreme ecstasy, and told him that Director Mei was out of danger, and all that was left was to rest and recover. Tang Qiuli held Yang tightly.  The dean's hand was so excited that he could not speak.

    Then, he rushed in front of Mei Ting. His wife's tired eyes opened slightly, tired and weak. In the dark pupils, the fire of life burned vigorously, but there was a bright smile on the corner of her mouth. Tang Qiuli  The tears couldn't help but flow down. Mei Ting seemed to want to wipe her husband's tears. The moment she moved her arm, it affected the wound and her brows??Wrinkled together.

    Immediately, she stretched out again, and she saw her husband's tears shed for her. Tang Qiuli did not see a trace of blame in his wife's eyes, but only heartbreaking tenderness.

    He never wanted to leave Mei Ting's sight again, because Mei Ting injured her back and could only lie on the bed. Tang Qiuli made a bed in front of Mei Ting's bed. He wanted Mei Ting to see it as soon as she opened her eyes.  He, too, could see his wife at any time. Despite Mei Ting's weak objections, he was determined to do so.

    The dignified Vice Chairman of the Military Commission of the National Government, the northern overlord with hundreds of thousands of troops, slept on the floor like this every day, and had endless eye contact with his wife. Mei Ting's ward became Tang Qiuli's.  The staff officers who came in and out of the headquarters did not feel any awkwardness at all. Instead, they were moved by the deep affection between the division commander and Mei Ting.

    The war continued to go down according to its inertia. The Japanese troops staying in Hanyuling and Sucheng suddenly lost traces of their opponents. In Sucheng, they were severely bitten. In addition to cursing the Japanese division commander, Yamaguchi also  He ordered various ministries to send out small groups to search, but they had no clue and found nothing. They finally caught Tang Qiuli's tail and then disappeared out of thin air. Where is his current location?

    After two days of headaches, Yamaguchi issued an order. The troops advancing from all directions should follow the original plan and steadily advance from east to west. They must penetrate the Taihang Mountains. Since the original tactics had discovered Tang Qiuli's troops and given them  In case of severe damage, until there is no new strategy, we should still adopt the old method. Maybe a miracle will happen.

    In the direction of Datong, Yan Xishan had the upper hand. The Japanese army had no backup troops and their troops were getting smaller and smaller as they fought. However, Yan Xishan continued to mobilize the main force of the Jin army and relied on complete defenses to inflict a large number of casualties on the attacking Japanese army.

    Encouraged by the situation on the front line in Datong, Commander Yan felt that hiding in Taiyuan was not a good look. On the other hand, he also felt that it was time to cheer up these young soldiers. On November 21, Commander Yan came to Datong in person to command the battle.  The inspired officers and soldiers of the Jin Dynasty had high morale and shouted the slogan "Win the battle and welcome Commander Yan".

    On the 22nd, after careful preparation, the Jin army launched a full-scale counterattack with more than twice the strength of the Japanese army. The Japanese army, which had always taken the initiative to attack, did not expect that the Jin army would suddenly counterattack, and was repelled one after another. The fierce battle continued until evening, and the Japanese army attacked all fronts.  After retreating, the Jin army pushed the front to the Xiwanbao area at the junction of Hebei and Shanxi. This was already the boundary of Hebei. In a sense, the Japanese army in the direction of Datong had been completely driven out of Shanxi.

    As soon as the battle came to an end, Yan Xishan asked his staff to prepare a telegram to report the victory to the Military Commission of the Nanjing Government. Yan Xishan put his hands behind his back and dictated the telegram word for word: "Chairman of the Military Commission, Chiang Kai-shek Xun Jian, on the 22nd of this month.  On the same day, our Shanxi troops launched a full-scale counterattack against the Japanese troops facing them in the direction of Datong. The battle lasted until evening, when the Japanese troops that invaded Shanxi Province were pushed back to the Xiwanbao area of ??Hebei Province and were forced to take a defensive position. "

    "In this battle, we recovered a lot of lost ground and killed more than 50,000 Japanese troops." At this point, he thought for a moment and then dictated: "The battle was extremely fierce and the Japanese army resisted extremely tenaciously. Although our army won, it also injured more than 100,000 officers and soldiers.  The troops will be exhausted and the ammunition and materials will be exhausted. We hope that the national government will consider replenishing it, said Yan Xishan, Chairman of the Shanxi Provincial Government.¡±

    After Yan Xishan finished speaking carefully, there was silence in the headquarters. None of the civil servants and generals understood what the old man meant. It was true that the Japanese army was killed, but it was only three or four thousand people at most. The Japanese army retreated calmly and did not even take any prisoners.  Yes, our army's casualties are greater than those of the Japanese army. Should we attack? It's a natural thing, but there aren't that many casualties?  At most ten thousand people, the old man said, wouldn't it destroy his own prestige and increase the ambition of the Japanese?

    Yan Xishan smiled proudly and said, "Guawa, don't you understand? Such a big battle with tens of thousands of casualties is not convincing. Besides, after this battle, our army has been severely damaged. There will be wars on other battlefields in the future."  , we are unable to reinforce, we are fighting for him, Jiang. Is Shanxi also the territory of the National Government? The battle losses are naturally due to Nanjing, and it is always a fact to drive the Japanese out of Shanxi, right? "

    Everyone suddenly realized that they admired the old man so much that he could dominate Shanxi. He had stood firm for many years. He had his own advantages and never suffered losses. In fact, Yan Xishan had another purpose that he could not tell. Tang Qiuli stabbed his little Jiujiu.  The matter of going to Nanjing has always been a knot in my heart. In a big battle, I have to explain all aspects, and I, Yan, am not idle.

    Jiang and Tang Qiuli were fighting with the Japanese. In Shanghai, Jiang used his family wealth to fight with the Japanese. In the north, Tang Qiuli used all his strength to fight.  , fighting with the Japanese, at this time, if I don't take any action, I will be very passive.

    "Besides, if you fight for your own territory, you won't suffer any loss. Just like Shandong Han Fuju did, he abandoned his territory and committed suicide.I ran away and left the rich Shandong to Tang Qiuli. I, Yan Xishan, couldn't do it yet. With many years of ups and downs in officialdom and life experience, he instinctively felt that Han Fuju was going to be in bad luck this time because his work was too rough.  , running is not the way to run.
