Rise From Eight Hundred Chapter 1196

The reason why the army colonel almost had a heart attack was not that Tang Dao casually took the head of a Japanese lieutenant general and division commander as a bet!

Rather, even among the nearly 100,000 troops in the First Corps, only three people knew about this tactic of catching the 106th Division.

He, a little army colonel, knows this not because he is a direct descendant of the commander of the corps. The most direct reason is that he is the biological brother of the lieutenant general commander who is planning all this.

Otherwise, this is just a fishing tactic in the 'nest making' stage and will never be known to him.

How did Tang Dao know about it? Tang Dao's voice was so low that no one else could hear it. It was basically certain that this young man knew about this strategy that was still brewing. The only uncertainty was how much inside information he knew.

"Commander Tang, do you know that what you just said is related to the safety of 100,000 soldiers. I will fight to be punished by military law to prevent you from walking out of this door!" At the end of the office! In the back office, the Army Colonel's eyes flashed with cold light.

This is not an act. The Army Colonel knows very well that the Japanese Eleventh Army is aggressive and its strength is not inferior to that of the First Army. If you want to take a piece of flesh from such a powerful enemy, the risk can be imagined. If you were not careful, it is very possible that you did not eat the meat, but was bitten by the Japanese and lost your arm.

The key to all this is that the Japanese army must not be able to detect that this is a trap, and confidentiality is the top priority.

The person who knew this tactical plan was the instigator and he were brothers, so it was impossible for him to leak the secret. The other was an old brother who had followed the commander for twenty years. Even Xue Shuda himself might not believe it if he said he would leak the secret.

Even the commander-in-chief is still in the dark, and he receives a telegram every day asking about the war on the front line.

Is it possible that Tang Dao had plans for the 4th Army? Even today's small conflict on the street was intentional?

Thinking of this, how could an army colonel, the third brother of Commander Xue, not become murderous?

"Since I dare to say it, I know that Brother Xue will not do this!" Tang Dao was not afraid and smiled lightly. "Moreover, I am not the leader of the Fourth Army Regiment now, but I have the same military position as you, Brother Xue. I am the colonel director of the 43rd Army Security Division, and I have a temporary security battalion under my command!

　　Why, you lead a regiment and I lead a battalion, but you don't have the confidence to defeat me. Do you have to kill me? "

Faced with Tang Dao's ridicule, the Army Colonel did not smile, but he grasped one of the key points - the 43rd Army. He twitched the corner of his mouth: "The 43rd Army? Aren't they on the way to withdraw from Jiujiang to Jiangcheng? Lock them up. What's up?"

"Hehe! Brother Xue, you are in Jiangcheng. The news is coming a little late. The entire 43rd Army should have turned around and returned to the front line of Jiujiang 2 hours ago." Tang Dao chuckled. "If you don't believe me, you can send a message to the headquarters of the First Corps, and then come and talk to me about how to win this battle."

The Army Colonel would not be easily fooled by Tang Dao's words. He immediately stood up and left. However, Tang Dao picked up the cup and drank tea leisurely.

The Army Colonel's reaction was as expected. If he had known that the tactical plan that had not yet been implemented was known to outsiders, he would probably feel just as anxious.

Because, according to the calculation of the time point, the 106th Division has begun to gather to attack the gap that was actively left. At this time, the arrow is already on the string and has to be fired.

As long as the Japanese army is not aware of the danger, the 106th Division will completely penetrate into that big pocket after 4 days, and all the troops responsible for blocking the Japanese 27th Division will deploy a defensive line, and the 106th Division will be unable to fly.

But if something unusual is discovered by the Japanese army within these four days, it will be terrible. The Japanese 11th Army currently has 6 divisions, the 3rd, 6th, 9th, 27th, 101st, and 106th, with a strength of 150,000 The giantness of man.

Four days are enough time for the 11th Army to mobilize its troops. As long as the 106th Division can persist for a week, the Japanese troops surrounded by the outside may even launch a counter-siege war. Not to mention eating up 100,000 Chinese troops in the mountains in one bite, the heavy damage will definitely be It can be done.

'Heavily injured' is just a word, but in reality, it is tens of thousands of young people lying dead in the green hills, with rivers of blood flowing!

However, if Tang Dao wants to ensure that the 106th Division is given a good wife, no, a good dumpling, in this battle, it is imperative to have in-depth contact with the 4th Army, which is the main force in the Battle of Wanjialing.

You must know that in the past time and space, it was the 30,000 men of the 4th Army who blocked the main escape route of the 106th Division with all their strength, so that the rest of the Chinese army had the opportunity to surround them from all sides and beat up the drowned dogs.

For this reason, the 4th Army even paid a heavy price with the death of a colonel commander and the sacrifice of thousands of officers and soldiers.

You lock a person in an iron house without food or drink. In order to escape, fragile humans can even leave clearly visible scratches on the iron plate with their fingers!

Trapped beasts are far more ferocious than the wild beasts in the mountains!

This idea was actually decided when Tang Dao saw Xue Shuda the first time he saw it.

Tang Dao believed that the colonel commander, who was promoted to lieutenant general of the army a few years later, had enough wisdom and talent.

Commander Xue's military talent is something few can match, but he is just a primary school student when he becomes an official. He relies entirely on his support and does not work hard enough. An army colonel may be the ceiling of this guard regiment commander's military career.

In just a moment, the army colonel with a solemn face returned.

"Captain Tang, I just want to know how Commander Guo and you learned about the tactical plan of our First Corps to fight the Japanese invaders. This matter is of great importance, Commander Tang, please don't hide it!" The Army Colonel looked at him with a burning gaze. Tang Dao. "I just had a phone call with my brother from the front line, and he gave me full authority to handle it!"

"The tactic of leaving this not-so-obvious gap to lure the 106th Division into the bait is not available to anyone but a famous general-level commander." Tang Dao did not directly answer this person's direct question, but instead turned his attention to the Jiujiang area hanging on the wall. Map, sighed.

“But Brother Xue, do you know that what makes Tang Dao admire your brother is not how clever the tactical design is.”

“Commander Tang, feel free to speak out!” the army colonel said solemnly, taking a deep breath to cover up his inner horror.

Tang Dao pointed at the gap in the defense line left by the First Corps half a month ago through seemingly continuous tactical movements and inadvertent movements. Tang Dao knew a few more secrets than he imagined.

Moreover, it has become impossible to keep him!

It's not because he is the leader of a famous heroic regiment. No matter how strong the Four Lines Regiment is, it is just an infantry regiment. No matter how brave Tang Dao is, he is just an army colonel. It is nothing to the commander of a regiment with heavy troops. But since Tang Dao said 43 After he personally confirmed that the Sichuan Army had turned around and returned to the front line, the 430,000 Sichuan Army was his strongest guarantee.

At this time, for the army colonel, he was more curious than intimidated. He wanted to know what Tang Dao would think of his brother.

"It's your brother's courage to dare to take grain from the fire! Even if he fails and is criticized by everyone for it, he has the courage to do so! He is already a famous general, and he doesn't have to use such radical tactics. Even if the battle ends in failure, he is just a regiment-level general. Commander, there is no need to bear any responsibility at all, and his reputation as a famous general will not be damaged!" Tang Dao said, facing the scorching eyes of the army colonel.

"But he still made such a choice, because he knew very well that China today needs hope so much. Only hope can allow our Chinese army and our Chinese people to be defeated despite repeated defeats. Fight again and again!

Crying, retreating, and begging will not save the country or the nation. We can only fight, and fight to the death! Personal honor and family survival are nothing in the face of such a major event! "

“Only now do I understand why my brother admires Commander Tang so much!” The Army Colonel stared at Tang Dao in confusion for a long time before saying.

“Perhaps you two are the same kind of person!”

At this moment, he would no longer mistakenly think that Tang Dao would target his 70th Army, because what Tang Dao just said was very different from the conversation his brother had with him in private.

After he learned of his brother's plan that day, all the guards on the cliff retreated 50 meters away. He tried to persuade his brother, using almost the reasons mentioned by Tang Dao.

But his brother, who was staring at the vast mountains and rivers, answered him: "This battle may not be able to turn the tide of the entire battle, but it can use the heads of 20,000 Japanese invaders to tell the soldiers and people across the country that the Japanese are not invincible."

China has 6 million navy, land and air force. Today it will consume 20,000 of them, and tomorrow it will consume 20,000 more. Even if our 6 million army is completely exhausted, the Japanese will have to pay at least 1 million.

And we, China, have 400 million people and 60 million young people. Do the Japanese have 10 million young people who can accompany me, China, to fight to the end?

　In such an era, I, Xue Boling, and the Xue family are just a speck of dust, so what should I worry about?

If it works, it will work! If it doesn't work, someone will take his place! " "good! Since my brother has given me full authority to handle it, Xue has taken the bet that Commander Tang mentioned earlier. As agreed before, whoever loses will be treated to a drink! "The army colonel, who had lowered his guard, returned to his previous free and easy attitude and took the initiative to extend his hand.

Tang Dao smiled slightly, stretched out his hand, and gave a high-five as an oath!

"Haha! That drinking session happened after the war. The battlefield was fierce. I don't know if you and I will still have the chance to drink that drinking session. Why don't we make a small bet first? Let's bet on whether Tang Tuan will win or win tonight. Don't laugh at me, a landlord, for being stingy," the army colonel said with a smile.

"I picked it up for my elder brother who came with me. Anyway, he lost, and he had already prepared the food and drinks." Tang Dao also grinned.

"That fat man? A philistine businessman, how can he be qualified to sit at the banquet table between you and me?" the army colonel curled his lips.

“Pfft!” Tang Dao almost spit out the tea as he took a sip.

He believed that if Commander Harr heard what the army colonel said, he would definitely find a place to hang himself with a hemp rope.

At any rate, Fatty Fan is also a veteran who has been in the army for 20 years. He has a lot of meat, but when his back is straight, he still has a somewhat heroic air, which is just a philistine.

However, in order to keep a low profile, this person's big face looks a little too greasy. At this moment, a dignified army lieutenant general is probably still looking for a place to hang out around the office playground!

"What?" Seeing Tang Dao's appearance, the Army Colonel's eyes twitched slightly, and he secretly said something.

After all, it is definitely not an ordinary person who can make Tang Dao call him big brother.

“Hey, his surname is Fan and his last name is Shaozeng!”

“Fan Haer?” The army colonel was surprised.

The Sichuan Army is definitely a weird one in the Chinese army. When it left Sichuan, the two armies had more than 100,000 people. All of them only had three-piece sets of bamboo hats, straw sandals, and pipes. Forget about the dregs of weapons and equipment, but even the military rations were not enough. What the **** is it if you don't bring more?

Does the whole army plan to beg? Everywhere they went, they asked the local county government and wealthy households to "collect donations" for military rations, and the situation was almost exploding.

Just tell me, from top to bottom, who cares about this "beggar army"? I'm afraid even the Japanese didn't count the hundreds of thousands of Sichuan troops as hostile forces!

What surprised both China and Japan was that although the Sichuan army's combat power was weak, its fighting will was ridiculously strong, and it would fight tooth and nail at every turn.

That's not one person, one squad, one platoon, it's an infantry division. From the division commander down to the privates, everyone fights to the death.

From Southeast China to North China and then to Central China, within one year, the first wave of more than 100,000 Sichuan troops in the War of Resistance in Sichuan was costed more than 70% of the troops, which astonished everyone.

　　Everyone had to choose to face this ragged army, including their commanders, and Division Commander Haer, who had not left Sichuan, was naturally among them.

Even though he has been marginalized, Fan Haer, who has been involved in the Sichuan Army for a long time, still has extensive connections, and it is by no means as simple as it seems on the surface.

Such a person actually has some contacts with Tang Dao!

Thinking about it more carefully, the 43rd Army, which is no longer part of the Sichuan Army, has an inseparable connection with him. He himself belongs to the 22nd Army. Fan Haer, who is still in Sichuan, rushed to the mountain city to meet him.

The influence of the Sichuan Military Department is not limited to its performance on the battlefield. As the war situation progresses and military and political departments retreat to mountain cities, Sichuan Province has become the most important food and soldier supply area in the country.

It seems that the Tang Dao, which belongs to the Sichuan Army Department, is more than just a "strong" character on the surface.

"Then after you and I have finished talking, I will go and apologize to General Fan!" said the army colonel who took a deep look at Tang Dao.

"That's not necessary. My eldest brother is just a wanderer now. He came here just for the occasion. However, if the Xue family members encounter difficulties in the mountain city, he can be of some help." Tang Dao Smiled lightly.

This is a small favor that he can pay back to Mr. Ha'er who insists on keeping up the show.

After this battle, Commander Xue's reputation will definitely be in the sky. Being able to control the Xue family will be beneficial to his activities of lobbying senior officials in Sichuan Province. At most, he will be disliked by the Sichuan army generals.

It's just that he has been excluded from the circle of friends at this time, so why does he still care about this little thing?

“Let's get down to business, the Japanese invaders have left the rest area. If Commander Tang were the commander of our First Corps, where would he place the decisive battle?”

“Here!” Tang Dao pointed directly at Wanjialing. "I will put the 4th Army in the front and lead the 106th Division to attack. When the encirclement is formed, they will try their best, but they will find that the 4th Army is just an iron door bolt. They will not be able to move forward even if they hit their heads and bleed."

"Commander Tang, I surrendered and lost. I'll treat you to the drink first!" The Army Colonel waved his hand and admitted defeat.

As the commander of the 4th Army Guard Regiment, Xue Shuda is naturally a prominent figure in the 4th Army, and he has some intention of competing with Tang Dao.

The Lushan area in Jiujiang is surrounded by mountains. At first glance, everywhere seems to be a place for decisive battles.

Who knew that Tang Dao actually directly mentioned one of the two positions pre-selected by his brother for the decisive battle, and even positioned the 4th Army as the main force for the decisive battle? It was as if he had heard him and his brother secretly discuss the battle situation. The discussion is general.

There's nothing to bet on, it's not on the same level at all.

"Moreover, if I were the commander, I would not use the elite guard regiment on the frontal battlefield, but use it to penetrate behind enemy lines to prevent the Japanese headquarters from escaping in the dense mountains and dense forests." Tang Dao continued.

In the time and space of the great victory at Wanjialing, the 106th Division headquarters took advantage of poor visibility at night. One of the division commanders hid under the noses of the Chinese army, and finally escaped smoothly by taking advantage of the terrain.

In this era, just adding a 43rd Army is not enough. Tang Dao is determined to add a 4th Army Guard Regiment as a lock. No matter what, the 106th Division Headquarters must be kept in the mountains of China.

The bet between the two groups, winning or losing, is actually not that important. What is important is the lieutenant general level fat head.

"Okay! I will tell my brother about Commander Tang's suggestion. Why don't I have someone contact the restaurant and bring the food to the office, and invite Commander Tang and all the Brothers of the Four Elements Corps."

"Brother Xue, I won't say it anymore! Regardless of winning or losing, my Brother Fan has prepared all the food. He has nothing else, but his pockets are quite rich. People like you and me who only rely on military salary to make a living should not fight with He fought." Tang Dao said with a smile.

"If Brother Xue insists on feeling that he owes me something! Brother Xue will definitely be promoted after the war, and there will be a lot of vacancies in the 4th Army. May I take the liberty of recommending someone to Commander Xue? Brother Xue, just help pass the message , Commander Xue wants to scold me, I will bear the thorn to apologize after the war!"

"You said, I am quite curious about which talent can catch your eye, Commander Tang." The Army Colonel was slightly startled, full of curiosity.

Although Tang Dao and the 4th Army are friendly armies, they belong to different military departments. Generally speaking, they will never participate in each other's internal affairs.

But Tang Dao actually had the idea of recommending someone, and Tang Dao was by no means the kind of person who didn't know how to advance or retreat. This only showed that he was extremely sure that that person not only had outstanding military talents, but would be favored by his commander brother. , let alone the risk of so-called factionalism.

Who could such a person be?
