Chapter 586 What a tough guy
The First Brigade of the Jing'an Army temporarily stopped attacking.
Tang Dao ordered the first and second line trenches to be ignored. Except for observation posts in the second line trenches, everyone else took their equipment and left to hide on the other side of the ridge.
At this moment, the liaison officer from the 145th Division Headquarters also came over and said that Commander Rao had invited Tang Dao to go to the division headquarters.
I don't know whether the telephone line to the division headquarters on the position was cut off by a bomb or by someone sent by Liu Ruzhai. After thinking about it, Tang Dao decided to go and see this great man who had been kissed by that great man after his death in battle. A lieutenant general of the Sichuan Army who wrote a couplet in recognition of his heroism.
Li Jijin was immediately ordered to be the first commander of the position, and the Sichuan Army Major and Battalion Commander was his deputy. After the battle just fought, the Sichuan Army Major was completely convinced. If he were to lead the Sichuan Army Battalion to fight, what would happen now? Even if the position was not lost, there was no way he would be able to accomplish the feat just now.
More than 300 corpses were left scattered in front of the position, and dozens of injured Japanese soldiers who could not move were howling miserably in a pool of blood. However, both warring parties were indifferent to them. The Jingan army did not have the guts to come up and drag them away, but the defenders did not. It seems that they have been forgotten, neither killing them nor allowing opponents to approach.
An extremely cold-blooded tactics, but extremely effective. If the Jing'an Army wanted to bombard the infantry positions, they would first blow their own people who were still alive in front of the positions into pieces.
The Sichuan soldiers all said that they had learned a trick.
Tang Dao did not bring the entire guard platoon, but brought two signal soldiers, Erya and Xia Dayu, and four guard platoon soldiers carrying a stretcher covered with white cloth.
Lao Hei, who had won a complete victory in the defensive battle on both wings, was ordered by Tang Dao to continue to serve as the defense commander on both wings. The Sichuan Army Camp took the initiative to send two additional infantry platoons under his command.
Seeing the Xiachuan military camp under the command of Liu Ruzhai regiment being so submissive and letting Tang Dao arrange it, the major liaison officer of the 145th Division who was responsible for inviting Tang Dao could only be described as dumbfounded.
You know, because Liu Ruzhai is the brother-in-law of the deputy commander of the group army, he usually violates the orders of his immediate superior, the brigade commander, and even the military orders of Master Rao, otherwise he would not be here. At the critical moment, he risked the disgrace of the world and fled.
Unexpectedly, in front of an infantry battalion commander who belongs to another infantry army, these arrogant guys are even more well-behaved than the good babies. Could it be that this guy has a rich background?
Is it because his surname is "Tang"? The major liaison officer who couldn't find a reason could only think of it in this way. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to convince himself why an army colonel could be so stupid.
Soon, he knew the answer.
After arriving at the division headquarters two kilometers away, Tang Dao quickly stepped forward to greet the seven or eight people who came out, stood at attention and saluted the leading soldier, "Hello, Sir Rao!"
The Army Colonel from the 43rd Army knew the rules very well. The first time he saw the Lieutenant General of the Sichuan Army, he stood at attention with great solemnity and performed a military salute. The respect in his eyes was by no means fake.
Including Lieutenant General Rao, who was a little surprised to receive such courtesy, none of the people who greeted him at the 145th Division Headquarters knew that the reason why Tang Dao performed such a solemn formal military salute on the battlefield was not because of any military rules, but because The soldier in front of him holds the rank of lieutenant general.
That is the respect that Chinese people will pay to this national hero in the future. The Tang Dao at this time represents an era, a peaceful era with tranquility and happiness.
"Sir Rao, Tang Dao, the War Supervisor of the Guangde Defense Area and the Commander of the Independent Battalion directly under the 43rd Army Military Headquarters, leads his independent battalion to report to you!" Tang Dao stood up straight and reported to his home.
Erya, who was following behind him, followed Tang Dao in performing the military salute, and then quickly handed over the appointment letter with the seal of the 43rd Army Headquarters in his bag.
The Lieutenant General of the Sichuan Army, who had a Chinese character face and thick eyebrows, reached for the appointment letter, glanced at it, closed it gently, and then raised his hand to return the gift, with a little doubt on his face: "The Army Headquarters informed me of your department's request by telegram two days ago. We are about to meet up with me. Rao has heard of Commander Tang's shocking achievements on the battlefield more than once. However, this must be the first time we have met, Commander Tang! Why does Rao have a feeling about Commander Tang? It's very familiar!”
As expected, no one who can be the leader of a division is easy to deal with.
Tang Dao knew that his position was the war supervisor of the entire defense area, which could be said to have the power of life and death for all generals in the defense area, down to colonel, lieutenant, and sergeant. He was not under the jurisdiction of this army lieutenant general. Logically speaking, it was absolutely impossible for subordinates to do this to their superiors. They were treated with formal military salutes, which naturally aroused this man's suspicion.
This is wartime, and a letter of appointment stamped with the military department's seal and a message from the Army Group Headquarters may not be able to 100% confirm his identity.
As a lieutenant general and division commander whose life and death could affect thousands of soldiers with just one thought, he naturally would not let go of any doubts.
"Before Tang Dao was ordered to come, Chief Guo briefly described Chief Rao's life story to Tang Dao. Before leaving, Chief Rao led his troops to visit the tombs of his ancestors, held a birthday banquet for his mother, and washed her feet himself. Others I just thought that you were just making a gesture, sir, but when Tang Dao heard about this, he was filled with admiration. When you did these things, sir, you must have been ready to be shrouded in horse leather. You are indeed a role model for our Chinese soldiers, Tang Dao. As a soldier, Dao can only show his respect with military courtesy!" Tang Dao looked at the Sichuan Army Lieutenant General with his eyes intently and said with great seriousness. Everyone has their own pain points. When the Sichuan Army Lieutenant General left, he was most reluctant to leave his old mother. He was not afraid that his mother would have no one to support him, but he was worried that his mother would be devastated if she knew that her son died on the front line, and her heart would be aching for the rest of her life. I can no longer serve my 70-year-old mother in front of the church.
Tang Dao's words naturally caused the Lieutenant General of the Sichuan Army, who had passed his forties, to lower his eyebrows. However, the Lieutenant General of the Sichuan Army, who had recovered his mood in a very short time, raised his eyebrows and chuckled: "Brother Guo called me a day ago. I said that you, Tang Dao, Battalion Commander Tang, are a strong general under his command. I thought that Battalion Commander Tang was just good at military service, but I didn't expect that Battalion Commander Tang was also a leader in dealing with people. Your compliments, I'm sorry. Just take it as real!”
Hauntedly, this person had already received the news sent to him by the 43rd Army Headquarters, but he still wanted to test it. He was obviously a cautious person. However, this person obviously didn't take Tang Dao's compliments too seriously. There was really too much hypocrisy in the officialdom. The Lieutenant General of the Sichuan Army who rose from a cook to his current position would not do it because of Tang Dao. A few compliments or his past achievements will impress him. What he wants is a warrior who can go to the battlefield.
So, Tang Dao gave him a meeting gift directly.
"Sir Rao, please forgive Tang Dao for taking the initiative to kill a deserter from your army before he came!" Tang Dao said.
"Since Commander Tang is the War Supervisor of the Guangde Defense Area, anyone who refuses to advance in fear of battle or retreats without obeying military orders can be killed! There is no need to talk about such trivial matters." Lieutenant General Hun of the Sichuan Army waved his hand indifferently.
Tang Dao was able to bring Liu Ruzhai's infantry regiment back, presumably through some means. Otherwise, just relying on the title of war supervisor given by the group army headquarters would not be enough in front of an infantry regiment leader who led thousands of people and wanted to escape. So easy to use.
These are what the Lieutenant General of the Sichuan Army naturally wants to achieve.
"Liu Ruzhai, a deserter, has been executed by me according to military law!" Tang Dao said.
With a wave of his hand, four guards carrying a stretcher stepped forward and lifted the white cloth, revealing Liu Ruzhai's body with a **** hole in his forehead.
“What?” The Sichuan Army Lieutenant General was stunned.
The surrounding Sichuan Army generals were even more stunned.
Ever since they knew that Liu Ruzhai, that bastard, had lost the left-wing position and the whole regiment fled, no one in the 145th Division wanted to kill him. That would simply push the remaining 3,000 people into a pit of fire.
But everyone knows that even if they really see that guy, no one can really say to kill him with one shot. Because that guy was relying on the deputy commander's care and disobeying the 145th Division's military orders. In fact, he was also a **** used by the deputy commander to control the infantry divisions under his command.
In the Sichuan Army, a mountainous faction with complex relationships, the lieutenant generals and commanders of each infantry division are also considered heroes, and they want to keep them under their control. Each division has his cronies, in case that division wants to fight with him. To play devil's advocate, these cronies can turn against you at any time.
The first person in Sichuan Province who is seriously ill is actually the supreme commander of the Southeast Sichuan Army.
At the moment of the war, even if the commanders of each division know clearly, they can only swallow their anger and accept such constraints for the time being.
To put it bluntly, killing a colonel commander who has become a deserter is just like killing a dog, but slapping him in the face so bluntly will make the entire division uncomfortable.
But this defense area war officer killed as many times as he wanted. He was such a ruthless person. He didn't intend to join the 23rd Army!
The Sichuan Army generals were right about this. Tang Dao really had no intention of hanging around in the 23rd Army. After defeating Guangde, he would go to the north under the orders of the military headquarters.
There was the extremely poor 22nd Army and the thick legs of the 18th Army waiting for him. The deputy commander with the same surname as him really couldn't do anything to him.
The major liaison officer who was a little surprised before now finally understood the reason why those guys were like good babies in front of Tang Dao.
Killing an army colonel who is protected by a big boss is like killing a chicken. If he doesn't behave, he will kill them all?
This Sichuan Army Major still thought wrongly. When he entered the division headquarters, Tang Dao talked about the battle situation on the left wing. Within an hour, the Jing'an Army laid down hundreds of corpses. That was the real answer that really made the Sichuan Army obey.
Killing deserters and not being afraid of power are not considered true skills. But killing Japanese people like butchering dogs is a real strong man!
