¡ª¡ª    go¡ª¡ª>Looking at the frustrated expressions on the faces of several brigade commanders, Tang Qiuli secretly laughed in his heart and said deliberately and seriously: "Since we know that soldiers have to obey orders as their bounden duty, why don't they properly implement the command's campaign deployment?  Isn't it a violation of military regulations to abandon the troops and come to me to make such suggestions?"

    Several brigade commanders of the Marine Corps were dumbfounded at the time. The division commander was on the line. Could it be that he lacked staff around him again?  Liu, who is directly under the Corps, has a loud voice, and Le Yiqin and Liu Cuigang, who are in the aviation corps, have just resigned. Could it be that they want some of our brothers to be around as staff officers?

    If this is the case, let alone a comeback, even if you participate in the battle, you have no part in it. Just stay beside the division commander, listen to the sound of gunfire, and watch others rush to the battlefield. Who else will return to the twenty-something group?  The 20-year-old second lieutenant, Staff Officer Liu, is leading the charge. How about he die of frustration?  Thinking of this, the sweat on my face started to fall.

    It¡¯s no wonder that these brigade commanders are afraid. After Liu Cuigang¡¯s lingering fear of the big event, Liu Xinlan¡¯s image of a little devil has penetrated into the hearts of several brigade commanders of the Marine Corps. When they think of themselves, a dignified rear admiral, being shouted at by a little girl every day.  He would come and go, drink and reprimand him every now and then, just like a follower, embarrassing every department in the division headquarters and making his legs tremble.

    Tang Qiuli looked at the changing expressions of the brigade commanders and felt happy for a long time. He said with a straight face: "I guess you don't have such courage. Your roots are still with Han Tie.  Is it because of Han Tie's instructions? It seems that I still lack a few naval staff!" That sentence made several people grin as if they had eaten bitter gourds.

    Several brigade commanders were shocked. The division commander was so ruthless that he wanted to wipe out the entire Marine Corps. It was not just about bringing in a few brigade commanders to serve as staff, but also the commander. They hurriedly denied it: "Division Commander"  , You have wronged our Commander Han. This matter has nothing to do with our Commander Han, so we came to you without telling him!"

    Tang Qiuli paused and said, "Okay, I'm quite loyal. I know how to protect my superiors. Well, let me call to confirm." He picked up the phone next to him and said, "I am the commander of the third brigade of the Marine Corps.  , please pick up Commander Han Tie. There is something urgent to report!" The brigade commanders closed their eyes, that's it!  The teacher is making a plan!

    Han Tie was sitting in the headquarters, happily waiting for the good news. The communications staff turned around and said: "Commander, the commander of the third brigade is looking for you!" Han Tie was overjoyed. These guys are quite smart and know to report the good news first, so he said  : "Take it." He grabbed the phone and asked loudly: "How's it going? Have you got the division commander? Have you got the mission?"

    Tang Qiuli said in a cold voice: "Han Tie. It's me. Come to the headquarters right away and take some of your subordinates back. In addition, you explain the work to Chief of Staff Wang Dongshan." After saying that, he didn't wait.  Han Tie reacted and hung up the phone.

    Han Tie¡¯s proud smile froze on his face at that time, and he reacted later.  He grinned and gave a wry smile, "Yeah, I didn't get the mission. Looking at this posture, I might also join in."  This time, the Marines were so embarrassed that they called Chief of Staff Wang Dongshan to explain the work. Just then, Liu Cuigang came in.

    Seeing this situation, he asked strangely: "Old Han, are you going on a long journey? The fight is about to start, your life is really bad!" Han Tie smiled bitterly and told the story, and Liu Cuigang laughed.  , gloating and said: "Tiezi, just ask for your own blessings. In this case, Yiqin and I will have a balanced mind. By the way, don't be assigned to that little girl Liu Xinlan, otherwise, without you  I deserve it!¡±

    Han Tie anxiously drove to the headquarters. As soon as he entered the door, he saw several of his subordinates standing there with drooped heads. The division commander was busy reading the telegram in his hand. He hurriedly stood at attention, saluted, and said loudly:  "Reporting to the division commander, Marine Corps Commander Han Tie has been ordered to arrive. He has already handed over the work to the chief of staff. Please give instructions to the division commander!"

    Tang Qiuli smiled and said: "Han Tie, don't remind me in such a loud voice. It just so happens that the main commanders of the Marine Corps are here. There are some things I want to tell you in person," Han Tie and several subordinates  , followed Tang Qiuli to another tent.

    Tang Qiuli said seriously: "I know that you Marine Corps want to fight a beautiful turnaround. This is understandable. Are you all soldiers? It is good to have a sense of honor, but your current mood is very abnormal.  Anxious for success, eager for revenge, and eager to save face, such an impatient mentality is not suitable for the task of encircling and annihilating the Japanese army alone. "

    "I also know that you have a way to deal with the Japanese army's new tactics and have made full psychological preparations. However, your mentality determines your actions. If impatience is brought into command operations, you will inevitably lose your correct judgment and calm thinking.  What's more, with more than 80,000 Marines sent forward, the density of troops is far from enough given the geographical conditions of Hainan Island. Will the same mistakes be repeated, giving the Japanese an opportunity?"

    The words of the division commander sounded like a yellow bell to the ears of Han Tie and several brigade commanders, making them alert and lowering their heads in shame. To be fair, the Marine Corps commanders really wanted to fight this battle alone.  , have the mentality of saving face and eager for success. The teacher's words are not without purpose.

    Tang Qiuli continued: "This is our last battle around the Indochina Peninsula. I don't want to cause a large number of casualties to the soldiers due to our commander's mistakes. I still say that, as commanders, we have no  The power will use the lives of the soldiers to pay for their mistakes. Go back and I will consider your requests! If necessary, I will give the Marines a chance!"

    Looking at Han Tie and several brigade commanders leaving, Tang Qiuli's eyes were a little complicated. Since the ** division troops entered Myanmar, there have been several battles. First, the remaining troops of Juichi in the temple were completely annihilated, and then they were defeated by Ito Yanzaburo's troops.  The troops dispatched to Southeast Asia almost swept across the Indochina Peninsula, winning one victory after another, which inevitably increased the pride of the troop commanders.

    This was specifically reflected in the second phase of the Hainan Island battle. When the brigade commanders talked about the Japanese troops under Miyazawa, they all looked down upon them. The hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops were all defeated by us.  With their armor removed and in utter embarrassment, these more than 30,000 little devils were not even a piece of flesh, at most a piece of skin. They needed so many troops that it was not enough to fit between their teeth. The division commander really gave an order.  Next, surround and annihilate Duolisuo, why bother with this?

    Bringing this kind of emotion into the army is a very bad hidden danger. Tang Qiuli does not want senior commanders to cause undue losses to the army in future battles because of this mentality. He always reminds all levels  Commander, never underestimate your enemies at any time, otherwise, you will suffer big losses.

    Just now, when I was criticizing the Marine Corps commanders, there were also brigade commanders from other units who came to the headquarters to poke their heads in. No need to ask, they all had the same purpose. They wanted to complete the mission of annihilating Miyazawa's Japanese troops alone.  He saw that something was wrong, so he didn't dare to bring it up. Tang Qiuli did this to give other brigade commanders a warning. Just in time, the Marine brigade commanders hit the muzzle of the gun.

    In the ten days since the battle, no one dared to come to the headquarters and request to complete the combat mission alone. The three-way troops steadily advanced to the southern part of Hainan Island according to the established plan. The minefields laid by the Japanese army had no impact.  The advancing speed of the troops gave the **Division's engineering troops an opportunity to practice in actual combat.

    By the end of January, the troops on the Changjiang, Qiongzhong, and Wanning front lines were facing tremendous pressure from the ** division troops. Japanese commander Miyazawa was also looking for a solution. During this period, the Japanese army divided into small groups into multiple routes.  Many tentative breakouts were made from places with various terrain conditions. In the end, due to the tight blockade of the ** division troops, there was no chance to recover except for the corpses.

    By the beginning of February, the ** Division's more than 400,000 troops had completed the encirclement of Miyazawa's Japanese army after more than ten days of steady advancement. Among them, the left army occupied Sanya on February 2, and the right army occupied Sanya on February 2.  On February 3, they joined forces with the Left Army in Sanya. Immediately, the two armies turned around and marched north, encircling the Japanese army in the Wuzhi Mountain area.

    A huge encirclement circle had been formed. In the following days, the ** Division troops continued to shrink the encirclement circle, squeezing the Japanese army's living space step by step. By February 6, they finally compressed more than 30,000 Japanese soldiers into a small area in the Wuzhi Mountain area.  The area was only a few dozen kilometers in diameter, but at this moment, the division commander Tang Qiuli suddenly ordered, "The troops should stop advancing, camp on the spot, and adopt a posture of besieging but not attacking the Japanese troops in the encirclement."

    The commanders at all levels of the ** division with high morale did not understand the division commander's intentions. Tang Qiuli did not explain to them, but only issued an order, "All units will closely monitor the movements of the Japanese army. If they find that the Japanese army is trying to break out, they must be killed."  They were killed within a range of 200 meters, and all units were not allowed to engage in close combat."

    Commanders at all levels of the ** division did not understand the intentions of the division commander, but Lieutenant General Miyazawa Nishikawa, commander of the Japanese Hainan Island Garrison Division, deeply understood the power of this move.

    Surrounding but not attacking, troops several times their own came over, and the pressure it put on the imperial soldiers was beyond description in words. The morale of the troops had reached an extremely low level. Miyazawa tried to use the spirit of bushido to paralyze the soldiers.  He adopted a suicide attack to get close to the soldiers of the Army Division, but because Tang Qiuli had already taken precautions, he became a living target before he even got close.

    Faced with a desperate situation, Miyazawa was forced to make a choice and sent representatives to surrender to the Japanese army. At this time, Tang Qiuli was reading Tang Qiusheng's telegram from Yangon. Ito, who was hiding in Singapore, sent a personal representative and proposed  Requirements for negotiation.

    Before Tang Qiuli had time to digest the telegram, a staff officer came in and said, "Reporting to the division commander, we received a call from the frontline troops. The Japanese army in the encirclement circle sent representatives to contact our army about the surrender."

      Tang Qiuli was surprised. What kind of good day was it?  Ito in Singapore wants to negotiate, and Miyazawa in the encirclement wants to surrender. Do the Japanese have to choose an auspicious day for everything they do?  interesting!¡ª¡ª
