Rise From Eight Hundred Chapter 420

Chapter 420 Dispute

The school officers are all just majors, but at least half of them are not from regular military academies.

That means that they basically rose up from the bottom step by step and are veterans with unparalleled battlefield experience.

Their sense of smell for approaching danger is much more sensitive than ordinary people.

Even though the content of the message Tang Dao just said seemed to have nothing to do with the advance team that was dozens of kilometers away, almost all of them changed their minds.

“Sir, does the headquarters mean that the unidentified infantry regiment is also outflanking us?” Gong Shaoxun asked, licking his dry lips with some difficulty.

Tang Dao's expression remained unchanged, and he was not in a hurry to answer. Instead, he stretched out his hand, took the map that had been prepared according to his request from Erya, and spread it directly on the grass.

It was a map of the southwest suburbs of Songhu. It was captured by Tang Dao from the headquarters of the Japanese regiment that invaded the city last time. It was much more detailed than the rough map provided by the Chinese military.

Lexiong was lying on the grass **** smoking a cigarette only two meters away, and the school officials gathered around him.

After comparing the position of the Suzhou River, Tang Dao pointed to a place five kilometers away from the north bank of the Suzhou River, "This is our current location. According to the reconnaissance information sent by Battalion Commander Gong and the others, the Japanese 36th Infantry Brigade is right here. About seven kilometers behind us."

Then he pointed his finger at the Jiashan Defense Line fifteen kilometers away: "Here is the area where the Japanese 18th Division and the main force of our army fought fiercely. In six days, the Japanese army, which invested all its combat power, could not advance more than five kilometers in total."

“Are we actually so close to the main force?” A major battalion commander of the guard battalion couldn't help being surprised.

For six consecutive days, the advance group marched back and forth around the Suzhou River. During this period, they even crossed the Suzhou River four times. They were like a rabbit being chased by a hound, running aimlessly back and forth in this wasteland. .

If it weren't for the reputation of Commander Nuo Da of Tang Dao Si Xing Battalion and the stunning battle in Songjiang Cangcheng and the brilliant record of cooperating with the Chinese Air Force to defeat more than a dozen Japanese planes, I am afraid that there would be someone in the advance group who was exhausted physically and mentally after escaping. There was some complaint.

In fact, the ordinary soldiers were fine. Most of them came from poor families and were hard-working. They knew they were running for their lives and could not care less about complaining about the sky and the air. However, many officers could not stand it any longer. Although There was no public opposition, but they also complained about each other in private.

It's not that their bodies are more delicate, but that their minds are clearer. They always feel that something is wrong with the behavior of the army under Tang Dao's command wandering in circles in the wilderness without any purpose.

Because the strategic maneuver space is limited, let alone other Japanese troops who will join the battle, the 36th Infantry Brigade behind them will catch up with them sooner or later.

This is also the main reason why the school officials' expressions changed dramatically when they heard that an infantry regiment of the 18th Division was missing, because that was what they had been worried about. If an infantry regiment came to block them, they would only need to hold them two Within hours, when the 36th Infantry Brigade surrounded them, the fate of the 3,000 people in the advance group could be imagined.

But no one expected that, just jumping around like this, the advance group would actually move to a position less than 20 kilometers away from the Jiashan battlefield.

With a rapid march, it only takes six hours to arrive. A rapid march with light equipment may even shorten the time by half.

"Then, sir, should we send a telegram to the headquarters now, asking them to send an infantry brigade, no, even an infantry regiment can come to meet our army!" Looking at the sky, hope flashed in the eyes of the major battalion commander .

There are still three hours before dark. If the whole advance group rushes towards the location of the main force at full speed, they may be able to join the main force before twelve o'clock.

“Lao Zhou, you are so naive!” Lei Xiong, who was not around and was leaning on the grass **** to smoke, teased lazily.

"Deputy Battalion Commander Lei, what are you talking about? Come on, tell me, do you think I, Zhou Dunhou, am so naive? You're right. I will respectfully light a cigarette for you. No, I'll give you a pack as a takeaway. Smoke." The guard battalion major's face turned red and he stared at the casual Lei Xiong and said angrily.

Originally, the soldiers of the local factions were a little unhappy with the arrogant Central Army. Lei Xiong himself was casual and not particularly cautious in his words and deeds. In addition, when Tang Dao went to attack the Japanese, he handed over the command to him. Just because officials admire Tang Dao doesn't mean they will admire Lei Xiong.

Just in time, Lei Xiong lazily teased me. It would be weird if the commander of the security battalion, named Major Zhou Dunhou, didn't get angry. Calling Lei Xiong directly as deputy battalion commander Lei actually meant, "There are all battalion commanders here, and you are the deputy battalion commander." What are you talking about?"

This is all still Tang Dao here, otherwise, there may be something even worse.

“Yes! Tell me what Deputy Battalion Commander Lei has to say!” Someone also gave Zhou Dunhou some advice. There are more than one or two officers who are unhappy with Lei Xiong, the Major of the Imperial Guard.

Lei Xiong rolled his eyes, stood up, threw away the cigarette **** in his hand, and sneered: "Okay! I, the deputy battalion commander, will give this pack of cigarettes to you, Lao Zhou, even for you, the big battalion commander." They talk about what innocence is."

We didn't offend you, so why did we bring everyone with us? The faces of the school officials turned dark.

Zhuang Shisan, who was the only one who didn't interrupt, desperately called Deputy Battalion Commander Lei in his heart. Damn it, what happened to the deputy battalion commander? I, the deputy battalion commander, am still a lieutenant colonel! Who are you looking down on?

Deputy Battalion Commander Zhuang, who still carries the major's collar badge, has been very angry with these regular army battalion commanders these days. He was originally from the Songjiang Security Corps. Although the Songjiang battle was quite heroic, subconsciously, the regular army guard battalion commanders still They somewhat looked down upon him, and since the first deputy battalion commander of the security battalion was Guo Shouzhi and Tang Dao was not around, the battalion commanders naturally consulted with the second-in-command of the security battalion.

This made Deputy Battalion Commander Zhuang, who felt humiliated, instantly become Lei Xiong's supporter. The "enemy" of the "enemy" is not a friend!

However, Jianghu people have clear grievances the most. Deputy Battalion Commander Zhuang is not the kind of sinister thief who holds back bad things in his stomach. When Lei Xiong strode over, he took the initiative to offer another cigarette and took a match to light the fire very diligently: "Captain Lei, the plan to shoot down several Japanese aircraft and annihilate hundreds of Japanese invaders in the battle of Baihe Port a few days ago made Zhuang Mou admire him. What a noble talk, Zhuang Mou is all ears!"

Well, here is a deputy battalion commander standing in line to make a fuss. The school officials rolled their eyes wildly.

Tang Dao turned a blind eye to the secret fighting among his battalion commanders and deputy battalion commanders. Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. It is common for them not to look at each other, as long as they don't make mistakes at critical moments.

Just like he used to dislike each other with a captain in the special brigade. The other person felt that he was too undisciplined. Feng Ji Kou drove around all the time and hung around like a gangster with a cigarette in his mouth. He felt that the other person was too cold-faced every day. Just pretending, I don't owe you money?

But on the battlefield, the two people who had always looked down upon each other knew very well that the other party was their most trustworthy comrade-in-arms.

He will not abandon him, nor will he abandon him!

War is the best litmus test to test this trust.

Sacrifice is the most powerful answer to trust.

Tang Dao did not disappoint the special forces captain who was born with a cool face. In order to save his comrades in the squadron to which the special forces captain belonged, he was bombarded to pieces by the enemy's heavy artillery.

“Hey! I wonder if Captain Cool in that time and space held my urn and cried like a child. His face was full of tears and snot. It must have been very interesting!”

Tang Dao's mind was filled with images at this time.

In another time and space, a young man started to learn to smoke, learn to pull off the buckle, and lay lazily on the hillside on the side of the training ground. His vest became cold for no reason. He looked around, but was disappointed to find that there was no one there. Some of them were middle school students. He pointed at the sky and shouted: "Tang Dao, you bastard, the higher ups have talked to me and asked me to be the deputy captain. Are you jealous? Are you looking for me? Then you are a very good person! Come and follow me. I said, this position should have been yours, let you sit and let me call you the leader.”

The hillside was quiet, with only the slightest breeze blowing.

The slightly moist wind wetted the eye sockets.

The young man lay down again, his eyebrows lowered and his voice lowered: "I know you can't come back. If you don't want to compete, I will never be able to compete with you!"

The tears that came out were covered by the wind and the drooped eyebrows. No one but himself could see the hurt in the young man's heart.

A comrade for a time, a brother for life!

　　Since you are gone, I can only imitate what you were like so that I will not forget you.

Tang Dao, who was lost in memories because of the dispute at hand, had an expression on his face that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, which made Lei Xiong, who was not stingy, feel a little uneasy.

Today's Tang Dao is no longer the little sergeant who had to prove himself with a certificate of surrender. He is now a commander in charge of thousands of people.
