Chapter 374 Risking one's life
"Little brat, where are you from? Do you know how to use a gun?" Standing outside the woods, Erya looked at the young soldier with two shell guns hanging on his body, feeling a little unhappy but also a little curious.
Of course he was unhappy because the young soldier had taken his place, so he was curious! He is less than 1.5 meters tall and has two shell guns hanging on his head. Who are you trying to scare?
"Don't look down on people, Ala'a was personally asked by the commander to follow him." Xia Dayu glanced angrily at Erya, who was thin and only a few centimeters taller than himself.
“You are so awesome? Tell me what skills you have that make the superior take notice of you?” Erya looked at the arrogant young man with some amusement.
"I" Xia Dayu's nose suddenly became sore, and he lowered his head suddenly to cover up his sparkling eyes, but could no longer speak.
He thought of Uncle Crow again.
If it hadn't been for the crow, he knew he wouldn't have survived, and Tang Dao would not have taken it with him personally. All of this was brought to him by the man who had turned himself into an arrow and shot at the Japanese devils.
It's just that the man who was as firm as a mountain was no longer seen.
“Why are you still crying! Brother, I'm sorry! I shouldn't have mentioned your sadness.” Erya hurriedly handed over the freshly washed towel tied to his belt with apologetic eyes.
The thoughtful signal soldier was very sensitive to the sadness in the young soldier's heart, and quickly made amends. Naturally, he had no intention of teasing this little guy who had occupied his position.
"It's okay, sir, I will become a soldier like my uncle Crow sooner or later, the strongest soldier." The young man refused Erya's kindness and wiped his eyes with his loose and dirty sleeves. Said stubbornly.
“Then tell me about your Uncle Crow, and I'll also tell you how the commander led us to fight the Japanese at Sihang Warehouse.” Erya said softly.
“Okay!” The young man could feel the kindness released by Erya, and replied in a sullen voice.
Tang Dao's two orderlies and signal soldiers got to know each other outside the woods, listening to each other's stories, while Tang Dao also persuaded the two commanders in the woods.
"No! This is absolutely not possible!" Lieutenant General Wu almost roared as he rejected Tang Dao's proposal. "Take the best of the army to bomb the Japanese. Tang Dao, was your head damaged by the shell?"
Lieutenant General Guo standing next to him was also smoking a cigarette with an ugly expression on his face and said nothing.
Before leaving Songjiang, the two had already discussed that if the Japanese army dispatched reconnaissance planes and the marching position of the large forces was exposed, the Japanese army would definitely send bombers for bombing.
Although they had already issued a secret order to the theater headquarters in the early morning, informing them that they had withdrawn all troops from Songjiang and were heading towards Kunshan, and requested the Air Force to send fighter planes for cover, the Air Force suffered huge battle losses and this request was almost non-existent.
The most effective way is to detach a partial division and continue marching forward, while the main force is temporarily hidden, so that the main force can escape the terrible bombing that is coming from the Japanese planes.
To put it bluntly, the branch division that was separated was not even a bait, it was a complete abandonment.
Most of the people exposed to the sight of the Japanese plane will use their lives to protect the remaining people.
This kind of abandoning nature is different from abandoning the wounded, but it is still an extremely cruel choice.
The two generals were in trouble again. Their palms and backs were full of flesh. They were reluctant to send the infantry brigade as a discard.
Who would have thought that Tang Dao, this fellow, would come so hurriedly to ask for a fight, not only would he also bring an air defense battalion, three cavalry battalions, and three guard battalions with him
Si Xing Battalion and Guard Battalion are already the elite of the entire army. If we add the cavalry battalion, guard battalion, and air defense battalion, does that mean that the best of the entire army will be sent to the muzzles of Japanese aircraft?
What does Tang Dao think about this? I thought this was a bayonet fight with the Japanese infantry! It's strange that Lieutenant General Wu doesn't take the lead.
"Two sirs, listen to me, I don't want to play battle with Japanese aircraft on the ground." Tang Dao probably didn't expect that his proposal would arouse Lieutenant General Wu so much, and he quickly explained with a grimace.
“I'll give you three minutes, then get out of here.”
"I thought so."
As Tang Dao moved his fingers on the captured Japanese military map and talked about his idea, both the roaring Lieutenant General Wu and the smoking Lieutenant General Guo opened their eyes wide in disbelief.
They finally understood that Tang Dao wanted to bring the best of the entire army.
Ordinary people playing chess are extremely powerful if they take one move and see two moves, but at this time, Tang Dao has already seen at least five moves.
To say that he is almost as intelligent as a demon is a very modest statement.
However, no matter how smart you are, strength still depends on your strength on the battlefield. If you can't avoid the Japanese bombing, everything will be empty talk.
"Sir, before we realize this plan, we can only bet that our contribution this time will be great enough, that the Tantai reporter's article will be influential enough, and that one of them would rather lose the fighter plane than suffer infamy." Tang Dao continued. "What's more, even if we lose the bet and the enemy wants to kill me, I will still tear a piece of flesh off the stubborn Japanese. We may not lose everything."
The two lieutenant generals looked at each other in silence.
They all know that thousands of lives depend on their thoughts. This suggestion proposed by Tang Dao is extremely risky. If it fails, the best of the entire army will be exhausted. But if it succeeds, it may also completely change the battlefield situation, and the vitality of Songjiang's entire army will increase by 30%.
The Japanese reconnaissance planes have roared away. A large number of Japanese bombers will arrive at some point, and there is no time for them to remain silent.
Three minutes later.
"I ordered that the Sixing Battalion and the Songjiang Headquarters be directly affiliated with the security battalion, the 107th Division be directly affiliated with the guard battalion and cavalry battalion, the 108th Division be directly affiliated with the guard battalion and cavalry battalion, and the 67th Army Military Headquarters be directly affiliated with the guard battalion, cavalry battalion, air defense battalion, and supply battalion. The supreme commander of the Songjiang Advance Regiment is Lieutenant Colonel Tang Dao, deputy director of the staff department under the Songjiang Command Headquarters." Lieutenant General Wu said the appointment in one breath. "This order will be announced to the entire army immediately. The troops will be assembled in half an hour. The entire army must obey his command before returning to each department. Anyone who disobeys the order will be punished according to wartime military law!"
“Yes!” Tang Dao raised his hand to salute, turned around and left.
He has already convinced the two top commanders to give the retreating army a chance. Then, he will have to fight for the future and fate of the more than 3,000 people he is about to lead.
"Take care of yourself!"
The two generals looked at Tang Dao's leaving figure and returned the salute in unison.
The busy staff officers around him also stood at attention and saluted along with their commanders.
At this moment, they finally knew why the two commanders valued Tang Dao so much.
It's not how amazing Tang Dao's strategic planning is, nor how powerful his combat power is, but it's that he can always stand up when the entire army is in the most difficult times.
Even knowing that one is exchanging one's life for one's life, one does not hesitate to take one's life.
Who wouldn't like such a subordinate?
Of course, the soldiers with admiration in their eyes didn't know that Tang Dao was so willing to sacrifice his life not only because he was an army member of China, but also because they, who were performing a military salute, had also sacrificed their lives for this country.
Most of them left their young lives in the raging river ten kilometers away in the past time and space.
You risked your life to earn a piece of sky for us, then I will give it back at the risk of my life on behalf of the people who can breathe freely.
that is it!
“I want to go with you too!” Tantai Mingyue chased her out of the woods.
"No!" Tang Dao, who had already greeted the two signal soldiers and was about to leave, narrowed his eyes slightly and shook his head firmly in refusal with a cold face.
Turn around and continue moving forward.
“Ten days ago, you were fighting the Japanese army at the Sixing Warehouse. I watched with my own eyes as the warehouse collapsed and buried the Japanese inside. So I waited for you by the Suzhou River for three days. I didn't even know whether you were dead or alive.
Seven days ago, you were fighting a fierce battle with the Japanese army in Cangcheng. I stood on the city wall and watched the artillery fire two miles away. For no other reason than that, I just wanted to be closer to you. But I know that it is still too far. You are injured and I can't bandage it for you. Your brother died in the battle and I can't give you comfort.
Three days ago, you went alone outside the city to kill high-ranking Japanese officials. I could only wait for the news of your return at the headquarters. I have never felt that time would be so slow. I want time to go faster, even if it becomes full soon. Wrinkled old woman, just let me hear the news of your return.
So this time, I don't want to wait far away from you anymore. It is really an experience more painful than death.
I will follow you. If you die, I will clean your body and bury you well in the soil. If I die, you will do the same to me. When the war is over, you can come and see me more often. "
Tantai Mingyue raised her head and looked at the back of Tang Dao who was about to leave, and said softly.
There was not a single word "love" in the beautiful woman's words, but the surging love made the two signal soldiers standing aside so excited that their blood boiled.
Perhaps this is also the first time in her life that a beautiful reporter has bravely spoken out her heart, because another fierce battle is coming.
Only this time, even Tang Dao put his life on the gambling table.
Tantai Mingyue knew that if she didn't say anything, she might never have the chance to say it again.
Tang Dao, who was walking with his back, suddenly stiffened, and he couldn't help but feel a little crazy.
ps: My daughter has a half-day off today. I went to pick her up from school. I was a little late eating out. Sorry!
