Rise From Eight Hundred Chapter 174

Chapter 174: Destined life, don't miss it

Tang Dao sat silently in the darkness, thinking about his thoughts.

The entire tunnel was dark. In order to ensure safety, all fire, unnecessary movement and conversation were prohibited in the tunnel. Except for the sentries posted at both ends of the tunnel, most people were sleeping.

After five consecutive days and nights of fighting, the Iron Man couldn't bear it any longer. Although the crisis had not completely passed and there was a risk of being discovered if he stayed in the tunnel, he could not care so much anymore. After revising his military order, he lay down for the most part. .

Tang Dao didn't sleep. After inspecting the tunnel, he sat down silently.

He knew there was not much time left.

If the memory is correct, in four days, the Japanese Tenth Army will land at Jinshanwei. This is a trump card for the Japanese army to steal the retreat of hundreds of thousands of Chinese soldiers in western Shanghai.

That is the tactic that the Japanese base camp has decided to implement since October. It will mobilize troops from North China, which has gained strategic dominance, to reinforce the southeast. In late October, it will assemble transport ships to sail to the southeast. Once the Sixth Division and the Tenth Division are assembled, Nearly 70,000 people from the Eighth Division and the 114th Division landed at Jinshan Guard and captured Songjiang. The nearly 400,000 Chinese troops in the west of Shanghai who were still confronting the Japanese army would be annihilated.

Of course, this scene did not happen tragically in the past, because the 67th Army of the Northeastern Army defended Songjiang for three days and nights, leaving a precious 72 hours for the retreating Chinese troops, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers were able to escape.

The 67th Army did what they should do, but for Tang Dao, a little butterfly from another time and space, the coming Tenth Army was from top to bottom, from the commander of the Tenth Army, Yanagawa Heisuke, to the Sixth Division. Hisao Hase, the commander of the 18th Division Ushijima Mitsuru, and the commander of the 114th Division Suematsu Shigeharu were all people he would kill.

Because, the Tenth Army not only participated in the massacre that occurred in the winter, but was also one of the driving forces behind the tragedy.

However, four days later in Songjiang, China and Japan invested a total of nearly 100,000 troops in a fierce battle. He and his subordinates were less than an infantry company. What could change if he left?

More importantly, how should he go?

The tunnel was only three hundred meters away, and it was not even within the confines of the Sixing Warehouse. How could he reach the battlefield dozens of kilometers away?

Tang Dao's rare anxiety did not affect some things that had been changed by his arrival.

The telegram jointly sent by the Army Major General and the Army Lieutenant Colonel to the division headquarters to commend Tang Dao Lei Xiong and others received a reply.

The first one was sent by the Songhu Theater Command. The content of the message was not to reinstate the military status of Tang Dao, Lei Xiong and others, but: the resignation of Tang Dao, Lei Xiong and others on the front line of Zhabei position in Songhu was a serious violation of Military discipline, but in view of his bravery in combat, he was fined for half a year as a warning. If similar incidents occur again, the theater headquarters will severely punish him.

“What does this mean?” Yang Ruifu didn't react for a while.

“It's done, those **** have kept their military status.” The Army Major General slapped his hands with a smile on his face.

In the simple military camp, several officers of the first battalion who had been waiting anxiously were smiling.

The words of these big shots are so cloudy and foggy that they have to say a lot of things in a telegram that is just one word "accurate".

However, the officers laughed too early.

Because, greater joy is yet to come.

But this time, it wasn't some coded message to notify them.

Instead, it is clearly powered on.

The Songhu Theater Command sent a clear message to the whole country: The battle in Songhu was fierce. After the entire battalion died in the Yao Ziqing camp of the 583rd Regiment of the 98th Division in Baoshan, the 1st Battalion of the 524th Regiment of the 88th Division in Zhabei Sihangwarehouse in Songhu held the Sihangwarehouse position for five days and nights. , killed more than a thousand people under the command of Army Colonel Wakiitajiro of the 36th Infantry Regiment of the Japanese Army and all of them died in the battle.

In order to boost the morale of the entire army and highlight the prowess of our Chinese soldiers, entrusted by the Ministry of Military Affairs, Yao Ziqing was specially awarded the title of "Baoshan Camp" and the 1st Battalion of the 524th Regiment "Sixing Camp". Yao Ziqing was the first battalion commander of Baoshan Battalion, and Tang Dao was appointed as The first battalion commander of the Sihang Battalion. After this battle, the theater headquarters will rebuild the two battalions. This is hereby notified to the whole country and the entire army.

After receiving this news, not to mention a few officers who opened their mouths in disbelief, even the Army Major General who had been guarding the field radio was stunned.

Having a unit sequence with a name is definitely the highest honor in the military. It cannot be awarded unless the unit has achieved great merit.

I didn't expect that the big guys above would be so generous and give such a great honor, which is almost comparable to the Medal of the Blue Sky and White Sun.

"Tang Dao, this bitch, is now the battalion commander? I want to trade with him, but I don't know if it's too late." Yang Ruifu murmured to himself with tears in his eyes while cursing. Not only was he excited that his brothers had won great glory with their lives, but more importantly, he knew that from now on, his first battalion was gone. No matter whether they could leave the concession or not, even if they could return to the 88th Division, in order to cover up others' deception, There will no longer be a battalion.

Because, the first battalion has become a martyr together with hundreds of Japanese troops, and has become the four-line battalion.

Subsequently, the commendation orders and promotion orders from the theater headquarters also arrived.

Army lieutenant colonel was promoted to army colonel a few days ago. His military rank was no longer promoted, but his position was finally changed to commander of a regiment. However, in view of his location in the concession, an independent regiment of the 88th Division was specially established until he returned to the division headquarters. Formation.

Yang Ruifu, the former commander of the first battalion, naturally assumed the position of deputy lieutenant colonel, and Shangguan Yun was appointed deputy commander of the regiment, equivalent to the third person in the independent regiment established in the future. The other two infantry company commanders were directly promoted to infantry battalion commanders, and Qin Ruoyu naturally became The perfect choice for the commander of the first company.

Needless to say, the rest of the people who survived have all been promoted to one level. The squad leader will become the platoon leader, and the platoon leader will become the company commander. Although it is just a mirror and a false moon at the moment, it always gives people something to look forward to, right?

Although the Sihang Battalion has been placed under the direct jurisdiction of the theater headquarters and no longer belongs to the 88th Division, it was assigned by the 524th Regiment anyway, and the promotion order was also issued to the Army Lieutenant Colonel.

Tang Dao was directly promoted to Army Lieutenant Colonel and served as battalion commander, Major Lei Xiong was promoted to deputy battalion commander, and Captain Leng Feng was promoted to captain of the first company. The rest were promoted two levels above their military positions before being stationed in the Fourth Line.

This is to treat Tang Dao and others as dead in battle. To put it bluntly, only dead people have this treatment. A good reputation can reflect the high-level sympathy for the grassroots soldiers, and it does not require too much military pay.

I don't know if one day these big shots will explode when they find out that the Tang Swordsmen whom they thought were destined to die are now actively killing the Japanese.

It's just that there are a mountain of military orders, and in order to show the majesty of God's grace, the commander of the theater specially used a clear signal to send electricity to the whole country. Even if he wanted to take it back, he couldn't take it back.

However, this clear message is really like a fire cooking oil, giving another shot in the arm to the soldiers and civilians who have been constantly stimulated by battlefield news in the past few days.

Not only did the infantry divisions on the Songhu front line send out messages to express their determination to defend the newly deployed defense lines of the armies, but the group armies in northern China, which were struggling to resist the Japanese Northern Army's attack, also called to support the Ministry of Military Affairs' special grant to the two originally ordinary infantry battalions. courtesy.

The battle situation that was originally a little depressed was somewhat restored due to such a power supply.

Perhaps the only one who was not happy was Tantai Mingyue, who left behind her pen and paper.

For several days in a row, Tantai Mingyue sat on the river bank closest to the ruins of Sihang Warehouse. From early morning to nightfall, it never set.

It seems to be accompanying, and it seems to be waiting.

But the ruins of Sihang Warehouse were like a dead giant, without any response to this beautiful war reporter.

On the night of November 4th, looking at the still silent afterimage of Sihang Warehouse, Tantai Mingyue stood up and whispered softly: "I'm sorry, I can't accompany you anymore. The war is still going on, and there are still tasks waiting for me. If If the war is won and I am still alive, I will come see you again.”

Looking at Tantai Mingyue for the last time, although her heart was cut by a knife, she still turned around and never looked back.

She has received a newspaper assignment. The entire Songhu army is about to retreat to the defense line, and she has to rush to Jinling.

Another war on the scale of Songhu is about to begin. After this farewell, she may never see the young soldier again, whether he is alive or dead.

Even she doesn't know if she can see the final victory of the war.

It's just that life is like a play. White skirts will meet white shirts on campus. People who read novels will never miss a big stroke. Life's encounters are so legendary.

Just four hours after Tantai Mingyue left, an extremely secret secret door was opened 300 meters away from where she had been sitting for the past few days.

PS: It's the last two days of the month. Brothers who still have monthly votes, don't be stingy and vote! I heard that the reward is double the monthly ticket! Why don't you guys give it a try? We won't miss each other, right?
