Chapter 1095 Farewell!
August 28th!
The Japanese 18th Division, which returned to the original city from the Shanxi front line for repairs, quietly arrived at Shimen, and took six special trains from Shimen along the Pinghan-Han Line all the way south.
His march was secretive, and it was not until the evening of August 30 that he was discovered by scouts sent by the Eighth Group Army stationed in Xinyang and Anyang.
At the same time, intelligence officers also sent telegrams. Baoding Station was suddenly heavily guarded, and the entire city had implemented a curfew two days ago, all indicating that the Japanese army was making major moves.
"The Japanese North China Front has begun to move! Order Jindong to attack the headquarters and send out troops!" In the quiet little courtyard in Linfen, the stingy old man rubbed his scalp for a while, and ordered with firmness in his eyes.
Because of the last victory in the Battle of Southeast Shanxi, the Japanese army suffered a setback, and the danger in Linfen was much reduced. In order to boost the morale of the 300,000 troops on the last line of defense in North China, the stingy old man fought against everyone's opinions and moved the troops who had crossed the Yellow River to The Second Theater Command of Shaanxi Province has moved back.
As the saying goes: A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall! This can be regarded as one of the few irrational behaviors of a stingy old man in his life that puts himself in danger. It is just like his decision at the military meeting half a month ago to send the most elite infantry division of his Jinsui Army to participate in the war and pay high pressure. The money, food and ammunition reserves at the bottom of the box are the same.
Many of his close friends who are familiar with him think he is crazy!
The Ministry of Military Affairs had issued a secret order to the Second Theater Command to launch a counterattack or attack the communication lines to contain the main force of the Japanese North China Front Army. However, anyone with a little common sense knows that although the Japanese army suffered a setback in the previous battle, it only had 20,000 soldiers. For the Japanese North China Front, which had more than 300,000 troops, the losses did not hurt its bones at all.
The so-called counterattack sounds very domineering and majestic, but if you are not careful, you may beat the dog and never come back.
Otherwise, several factions would be very hesitant when they heard about this matter. Even if the stingy old man put all the money, food and ammunition on the table, it was not until the stingy old man brought out the most elite 101st Division of the 65th Army under his command that the major factions reluctantly agreed.
With this infantry division as a guarantee, everyone will believe that on the front line in western Shanxi, the stingy old man will spare no effort to contain the main force of the 100,000-strong Japanese North China Front Army, so that it does not dare to easily send troops to support eastern Shanxi.
But the danger is still self-evident. Excluding the 108th and 109th Divisions on the southeastern front of Shanxi, the Japanese Fifth Division and the First Army in western Shanxi have a total of about 150,000 Japanese troops. The Japanese North China Front still has more than 150,000 Japanese troops. The necessary garrisons of 70,000 to 80,000 troops are stationed in major cities, and there are still 70,000 mobile troops.
These 70,000 vs. 70,000 are still offensive and defensive positions. Based on the past record against the Japanese army, is there any need to say this result? It is not an exaggeration to say that it is like taking grain from the fire.
But maybe those close friends of the stingy old man only knew the self that the stingy old man let them see. No one would know what the stingy old man said to his most trusted fifth sister: "There is that cunning Tang Dao and his four sisters." With the team here, even if we can't win this battle, we won't lose ugly.”
It's hard to say why the stingy old man trusts Tang Dao so much. Maybe it's just a pure intuition.
Or perhaps, it was Tang Dao who led the Four Lines Regiment all the way through the Songhu battlefield and was defeated in more than ten battles, which gave the stingy old man the illusion that he could not win in terms of strength, but he was not allowed to have any. Does the Son of Destiny exist?
Don't mention it. In his memoirs, when the stingy old man who lived for more than 20 years talked about the most exciting battle in the second theater of war that he fought under his own initiative, the most popular keyword was luck.
As to whether this luck belongs to the Chinese army or because he took a fancy to Tang Dao's luck, he did not say it clearly.
After all, he can be regarded as the overlord who has the ability to recognize people. Wouldn't it be a loss of reputation for him to attribute all victory to illusory luck?
Anyway, when one division of the Japanese army had arrived at the Yellow River where the Yellow River Bridge had been blown up and had crossed the river in batches, and when at least one other division had quietly assembled and even embarked on its way south, the stingy old man finally made up his mind to send troops to Jin. East!
In the past, the Japanese army would hit him with a stick from time to time, which made him dazzle. This time, he gathered his elite troops and took advantage of this opportunity to return the axe.
In the past year, except for Wang Laohan of Shandong who has been rectified, and Wang LaoSong of Hebei who has declined, are there any bosses from various provinces in China who have been more aggrieved than him?
The tower was pushed clean by the Japanese, and the crystal was about to explode. As a result, there were still people who were displeased with him and were always ready to deal with him. He must and could only let those people see that he was either a cat or a tiger, even a sick tiger. , it's not ambiguous when it comes to biting people.
As the radio waves from the Second Theater Command came out, five infantry divisions and an infantry regiment in China's northern theater, totaling 75,000 people, quietly left their respective stations after nightfall on August 30 and marched toward the destination in accordance with the routes planned by the headquarters. Advance to Jindong.
There was no loud farewell with gongs and drums, and no tearful farewell. Tang Dao, the regiment leader, and Tantai Mingyue, the commander of the health company, were both on the expedition.
As the director of the Ordnance Department, Lao Tantai was not even here at all. However, in the past two days, he took his future son-in-law to have a drink in his small courtyard. The drink was not bought by Tang Dao. Jiannanchun is the 'sweet potato roast' brewed by the farmers in Dakouzi Town.
The wine is slightly turbid, but it is definitely strong enough. Drinking it is like drinking a ball of fire, burning from the throat to the stomach.
In Lao Tantai's own words: This wine is just like Taihang Mountain, so fierce! Strong enough!
The handsome old man from Tantai, who was not a good drinker, got drunk after three drinks. He pulled the Tang knife and said: "Victory or defeat is God's will. Our Chinese race has survived through five thousand years of ups and downs. It is not a matter of a certain person or a certain person." A few people can complete it, protect Mingyue and yourself!"
The old father who has gone through many trials and tribulations, after a drunken encounter, faced with the choice between his family and his children, he ultimately preferred the latter.
This is actually very humane and rational! He just wanted his daughter and son-in-law to live well and enjoy the life they had barely started yet.
But why are the protagonists in all world-saving stories always teenagers? Maybe it's not just the stories of elders overcoming obstacles that few people pay attention to!
What's more, the blood in the young man's chest has not diminished!
What's more, just like the young boy who was a classmate, the rows of soldiers who carried spears on their backs and threw themselves into the battlefield without hesitation under military orders all had slightly green hair under their chins!
“Don't worry, Dad, I promise that I will protect Mingyue for the rest of her life and try not to make her sad!” Tang Dao's answer was very Tang Dao.
What he said is all true. Even though he has been a man for two lifetimes and has spent hundreds of years in this world, Tang Dao can only try his best not to make his lover sad.
All because, if his subordinate brothers can sacrifice their lives, how can he take care of himself alone?
No longer young, but still a teenager! Isn't this also true of the hundreds of middle-aged generals who died in this war?
There were very few people who came to see off the main force of the Si Xing Regiment. The only soldiers were Shangguan Yun, commander of the 4th Battalion, and a dozen officers above his rank who were lieutenants.
At the battalion commander-level military meeting two days ago, after fierce debate, Tang Dao finally made the final decision. The 1st, 2nd and 3rd Infantry Battalions went out with the army, and the newly established 4th Battalion was responsible for staying at the Si Xing Regiment station.
Originally, the officers of the 4th Battalion headed by Shangguan Yun were very depressed. They thought that the regimental commander still believed that the 4th Battalion was not established for a long time and it was difficult to take on a big job. Tang Dao went to the 4th Battalion headquarters in person and directly took out the map of southeastern Shanxi.
The Japanese army still occupies all county towns and important transportation lines. More than 50,000 troops are like a rope straddling the side of the Taihang Mountains. They have the upper hand in a situation where they can retreat, defend or attack.
"The 4th Battalion has not been established for a long time, but its core is the elite of the Royal Forest Army and the elite of our northern army. When it comes to offense, it does not have the tacit understanding of the other three battalions. But when it comes to defense, even if it is not the best among all battalions, it is still the top two choice. !" Tang Dao gave a fair assessment of the 4th Infantry Battalion's combat effectiveness.
"The danger of staying behind is even greater than that of the outgoing army. If the Japanese army makes any changes, you will use a battalion to cover the retreat of the people of the town, the personnel and equipment of the arsenal, leaving you with very little room for tactical retreat! If you are not careful, , is the death battle and decisive battle in the Sihang Warehouse in the past!" Tang Dao's face became extremely serious.
Tang Dao This is not a lie. This is more than 80% of the occurrence rate when the regiment staff is doing tactical deductions. The Japanese army is mechanical and rigid, but they are by no means stupid.
It is absolutely impossible for a stupid opponent with superior equipment to defeat China, which has assembled millions of troops in this year. Those who think that their opponents are stupid are first of all self-denial.
The somewhat excited officers and soldiers of the 4th Battalion were calmed down by Tang Dao, and they accepted the difficult task of guarding the crystal.
"Regiment leader, regimental deputy, director night, director Zhuang, I wish you a great victory over the Japanese invaders!" Shangguan Yun led his four company commanders and four deputy company commanders to the four officers who were leading the main force of the four-line regiment this time. salute.
“Sir, take care!” Qin Ruoyu, who had the closest relationship with Tang Dao, could not help but be a little excited at this time, his eyes flashing a little brightly in the dim light of the fire.
For my colleagues and comrades-in-arms, the saddest thing is not to see you fall, but that I know you are about to go to the battlefield, but I can only stare at you!
If I can stand side by side with you and protect you and my young ideal together, death is really not as scary as imagined.
"Take care of yourself too!" Tang Dao rode on his war horse and led his three chief officers to return the salute. He glanced into the distance, gently pinched the horse's belly, and roared in a low voice: "Pass my military order, and let the third battalion serve as the whole army." Back team!”
“Yes!” Xia Dayu's little bald head nodded and ran away!
Lei Xiong, Ye Chenghuan, and Zhuang Shisan looked at each other and smiled. They waved to Shangguan Yun and others who were seeing them off. They each shouted "Drive!" and the war horses began to trot.
Beside them were the officers and soldiers of the First Infantry Battalion of the Four Lines Regiment who had already set off in advance.
As the first battalion, serving as arrowheads for the entire army seems to have been integrated into their bones, 'Use me in the first battle, and you will win if you use me! ' This is the eternal slogan of the First Battalion.
The three chief officers all understood that Tang Dao suddenly ordered the third battalion that was protecting the artillery battalion in the center to be moved to the rear, probably to take care of the people who came to see them off.
Mrs. Yue held the little girl in her left hand and Yue Yiman in her right hand. She stood on a hill about 50 meters away from the army's marching queue with the stone.
Since becoming the principal of a primary school with more than 200 students, Mrs. Yue has been busy and fulfilling every day, with more and more smiles appearing on her young face. However, no matter how busy she was, she would still ask Yue Yiman or Xiao Shitou to go to the third battalion headquarters to take Leng Feng's sweat-soaked military uniforms back for her to wash, and then fold them neatly in the evening of the next day. Let Sanxiao send it back.
The three children were all very happy to do this work. Not only were the Shitou brothers and sisters rescued by the company led by Leng Feng that day, but also during the long march of thousands of miles into the Taihang Mountains, Leng Feng's broad back carried countless little girls and Yue Yiman. dreamland.
If you want to say who among the three children of the Four Elements Regiment admire the most, it must be Tang Tuanzuo, who is said to be miraculous by the officers and soldiers of the Four Elements Regiment. But if you want to say who you like the most, then it must be the cold-faced uncle Leng Feng.
Of course, in order to find some work for the military dependents, the Sixings Regiment Headquarters has regulations that all officers and non-commissioned officers with a military pay grade higher than that of a second lieutenant can have their clothes cleaned by a dedicated laundry team as long as they pay 1 yuan a month.
Just this one job supports at least 60 aunts and sisters-in-law!
Except for stingy old Li and a few others, most officers and sergeants basically have clean clothes to wear every day.
But you have to make your socks and underwear yourself. For someone like Battalion Commander Leng who keeps them clean and neat from head to toe every day, I am afraid only Tang Tuanzuo can compete with him.
Who allowed Tang Tuanzuo to have a fiancée?
Although Tantai Mingyue is the eldest lady, Jiangnan women are inherently ingenious. Regardless of Tantai's family tradition, she is always favored. However, she has been good at doing household chores since she was a child. No matter how busy she is with her own work, Tang Dao is so good at it. However, her clothes are washed cleanly by her, and when she is free, she can personally cook Tang Dao an authentic Hangzhou meal!
Even if Tang Dao is ignorant, he always likes to eat sweet Hangcheng food with chili! But every time, he ate everything without even leaving any soup.
Leng Feng and Mrs. Yue both have "cold" personalities. Even the entire Four Elements Group knows what they are doing, just like knowing that Daya, the nurse in the health company, chases Mingxin every day to learn Chinese martial arts. It's all like a mirror.
What's going on! Uncle Han from the Military Training Department is not a master of Chinese martial arts. He has been personally certified by Tang Tuanzuo. His Bajiquan is said to be the second in the Four Elements Group. Even Tang Tuanzuo dare not say that he is the first. It is compiled by integrating the marksmanship of the past dynasties. Not only the entire Four Elements Regiment is practicing the Four Elements Thorn Technique, but also the 683rd Brigade, the 17th Division and even the 104th Division are organizing exercises.
As a result, Mingxin didn't understand the style. She always hid far away after completing one and a half moves. She was also the most active one in the missions. Gu Xishui, who had been hurt by love, couldn't help but intervene. He: "In this era, don't leave any regrets to yourself!"
Yao Meier is Gu Xishui's biggest regret! Her tomb is buried in the highest place of the Sixings Regiment Martyrs Cemetery.
That was Gu Xishui's request. Although Yao Meier's military exploits were not enough to keep her there, Gu Xishui did. He used his military exploits in exchange for a small comb that Yao Meier left behind along with Yao Meier's. The letter his sister wrote to him was buried on that peak!
He hopes that every time he goes on an expedition, Yao Meier can stand there and look at him, and then wait for him to return, even if it is his soul!
Perhaps that is Gu Xishui's wish too!
Ming Xin is still young and has not experienced this, so he will not understand!
Leng Feng understands, but he won't say it, because he knows that there is some heartache and it takes time to heal!
Only when the scars have become scarred and the scars have faded, and you enter her heart again, she will not suddenly feel sad.
Leng Feng hopes that she can be happy!
But the army had already set off, and Mrs. Yue came with three children to see her off. How could Leng Feng look at it indifferently?
"You too, the children are already asleep, why are you bringing them here!" Leng Feng rubbed the heads of the three children one by one, covering up the redness on his dark face with a cold face and a critical tone.
When he ran over just now, he saw the smiles on the faces of many old comrades who were trying their best to hide them, especially veteran Youzi, whose big yellow teeth almost fell out when he smiled.
There was also the military order that the little bald guy ran as fast as possible and loudly conveyed, for fear that everyone would not know that the regimental commander was "using power for personal gain."
"Then you can't blame me, you have to blame Xiao Shitou. He ran over and pulled us here, saying that Uncle Leng Feng was going to fight the Japanese." Mrs. Yue had a faint sadness on her quiet face and shook her head in denial.
“You kid, you're the only one with a lot of things to do!” Leng Feng rubbed Shitou's head, which was smiling innocently.
“Here, here's this for you!” Leng Feng suddenly took out something from his waist and solemnly placed it in the eight-year-old Shitou's hand.
The heavy and cold touch made Little Shitou open his mouth in surprise.
“Haven't you already stopped playing with wooden guns?” Leng Feng grinned. "My Black Star pistol has too much recoil. You are still young and can't use that. This is the Walter pistol that I specially brought from Jincheng as a trustee!"
Born in the 1930s, the Walter pistol was specially designed by the German Empire for self-defense for agents and high-ranking officers. The biggest feature of this model is its compact size, with a total gun length of only 150 mm, a weight of 570 grams, an ammunition capacity of 7 rounds, and an effective range of 50 meters!
When Leng Feng asked Tang Dao for a sophisticated pistol, Tang Dao purchased 100 Walter PPKs from Lou Dehua's Krupp Company at one time, mainly for use by some female nurses who could not use the high-recoil Black Star pistols. Substitutes, as well as dedicated ones that need to perform some special tasks.
“Long live Uncle Leng!” Shitou almost jumped up with excitement.
"Oh! We also have real guns." Yue Yiman and the little girl also jumped up happily.
“You're spoiling them too, how dangerous it is!” Mrs. Yue said angrily.
"Shitou, you have to remember one thing. When you pick up the gun, you are a warrior. Promise me that during my absence, you will protect your brothers, sisters, and your adoptive mother!" Leng Feng said with great solemnity.
“I promise!” Shitou nodded fiercely, his face showing a maturity that was inconsistent with his age.
Suffering makes people grow quickly! Although this is not what the Chinese thought, the Japanese came and there was nothing they could do.
“Isn't this battle very dangerous?” Madam Yue suddenly asked softly.
The moonlight is like a flower, falling on Mrs. Yue's peaceful face, which looks a little pale!
In her memory, Leng Feng had always been an extremely calm person, such a calm warrior, but before leaving, he gave a real gun to an eight-year-old child. The fact that this behavior represented made her inexplicably frightened.
“Yes!” Leng Feng hesitated for a moment and nodded.
He knew she would be worried, but he didn't want to lie to her!
Mrs. Yue lowered her head slightly, her hair hanging down from her full forehead, blocking her suddenly red eyes.
Leng Feng opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only stand silently.
The three little ones felt that the atmosphere was different and did not dare to interrupt the conversation between the adults by talking too much.
Long silence!
"Then I'm leaving. You should also pay attention to safety at home. If there is an air raid siren, hide in the air raid shelter immediately!" Leng Feng'er heard that the company of the third battalion had begun to form a team. He hurriedly said a word and turned around to leave.
Seeing that the figure is about to disappear into the darkness.
“Hello!” Mrs. Yue suddenly raised her head bravely and shouted.
Leng Feng paused.
“If you want to come back, I'll wait for you!” Although Mrs. Yue's face was still pale and there were tears in her eyes, she was full of courage.
She is a widow, which is unlucky for him who is about to embark on the battlefield! But if she didn't say some things, she was afraid it would be too late.
“Okay!” Leng Feng stood there for a long time and agreed in a dull voice.
The tall figure disappeared into the night.
No one knew that in the cool night breeze, the infantry battalion commander's heart, which was as hard as iron and was walking like the wind, seemed to be about to burst with joy!
