Rise From Eight Hundred Chapter 646

Chapter 646: Hunting for the Wind

Feeling the tenderness from Tantai Mingyue, and looking at the soldiers still waiting in the trenches outside the headquarters, Tang Dao's heart gradually calmed down.

The dead are dead, but there are still more people alive. They may not be called elites now, but they already have the determination to fight. In the days to come, they will lead more people, Go fight with them.

In this long war, they caused more casualties to the Japanese army, until one day they left with countless small wooden boxes.

Because it's not just sacrifice, it's victory.

Victory gained at the risk of one's life is extremely precious!

He rubbed his face several times with his hands, rubbing away the hot tears and the unfinished smoke on his face, and looked back at his subordinates who were standing solemnly, waiting for him.

“Let's go, you guys go with me to visit the wounded soldiers, and then go to Highland No. 3 to have a look!”

“Yes! Sir!” Lei Xiong and others stood at attention and saluted.

The station where the medical team is located should be the most closely protected area.

It was a natural cave. Not only did an infantry platoon dig trenches outside the cave entrance to guard it closely, but it was also well camouflaged. There was an additional infantry company dispersed around it to prevent sneak attacks by small groups of Japanese troops. .

Seeing Tang Dao walking over quickly, the soldiers in the trenches all stood up straight from the trenches and paid attention to their commander who had performed a miracle.

That can only be explained by miracles.

The news has come from the front that all the Japanese troops have retreated.

The Japanese army had nearly 10,000 troops, supported by aircraft and artillery, but they only had more than 2,000 people. Their only support was the position they spent a day and night building.

The two sides are not on the same level at all, and all of them are ready to fight to the death. .

But the Japanese army retreated, after fighting for a day and night.

If it weren't for Tang Dao's regulations that no salutes were allowed on the battlefield, the dozens of soldiers here would definitely use military etiquette to express their highest respect for the commander.

Tang Dao nodded to the running second lieutenant platoon leader, waved his hands to the soldiers in the trench to tell them to relax, but turned his attention to a ragged soldier squatting at the entrance of the cave.

The soldier kept squatting at the entrance of the cave with his head in his hands, as if he didn't hear the footsteps of Tang Dao and others walking toward him.

"Why is this stubborn kid still here? Didn't I ask you to take him to rest? What are you doing?" Lei Xiong couldn't help but frowned and growled and asked the infantry platoon leader who stood up straight.

"Lieutenant, it's not that we don't want to do it! It's because this little guy doesn't want to do it! Look, he basically didn't eat a bite of the canned beef and steamed buns we prepared for him. From last night to now, he has been staying here, saying He has to wait until his company commander and brothers come out to eat together," the second lieutenant platoon leader explained with a grimace.

"He didn't even want to lie down on the quilt I prepared for him. He had to squat somewhere!"

Tang Dao had already recognized this thin soldier. The medium-sized rifle next to him with a few traces of blood on it was handed to him by him personally.

　　Waving his hand to stop the second lieutenant and platoon leader's slightly guilty explanation, he strode forward until he reached Tudou.

“Soldier, report your number!”

Tudou, who had been holding his head in grief, heard a familiar voice. He suddenly raised his head and saw that it was Tang Dao. Tears suddenly fell from his eyes. He jumped up and tried to stand up straight: "Reporting to the commander, the 145th Division of the 23rd Army avenged the shame of the Seventh Regiment." Company Private Zheng Chaoqian reports to you!"

"Very good! I haven't forgotten your serial number, and you look like a soldier. But why do you stay here despite being ordered by Deputy Battalion Commander Lei to rest? I order you to rest immediately." Tang Dao nodded. , said with a serious face, and turned to look at the second lieutenant platoon leader. "Take him to eat and sleep."

"Sir, I'm not going. I want to wait here for the company commander and brothers. If the nurses don't let me in, then I'll keep waiting for them here." Tudou stood stubbornly.

Tang Dao had an angry look on his face. This was considered a violation of the order before the battle. No matter what the reason was, it was not allowed.

Zhuang Shisan, who was following behind, winked desperately at the stubborn soldier. Although not all of them were killed on Highland 3, and there were still dozens of seriously injured people alive, they were either missing arms or legs or had several big holes in their bodies. None of them were After all, this little guy is the only one who is intact. If he is punished by military law for disobeying orders, it will be too bad.

"Sir, I beg you, my brothers from the two infantry companies on Highland No. 3 are all here who can breathe. I have to stay with them here. If they are alive, I will feed them water. If they are dead, I will give them water." Wipe your face and let them go on the road cleanly, that's all I can do for you brothers," Tudou, feeling Tang Dao's anger, begged.

Tang Dao felt sad again!

Of course he knows what Xiao Bing is thinking.

That's because he doesn't want to be alone! Every wounded soldier he snatched alive was an extra piece of warmth from his comrades.

That's why he didn't want to leave here.

"I can completely understand your mood, but you also have to trust the medical staff. They will do their best." Tang Dao's face softened again. "Besides, you don't have to go too far. Just stay here, eat something and take a rest. I believe that if your brothers wake up, they won't want to see you in such a miserable state, don't you think?"

"Yes, sir!" Tudou's face was filled with tears. He finally relented and stopped insisting. He stood upright and gave a military salute to Tang Dao.

Tang Dao's expression returned to solemnity.

It's over, this little soldier has violated military orders again. Master Zhuang felt a little bitter in his heart.

As the only survivor on Highland 3, Zhuang Shisan, the chief of staff, has already thought about how to set him as an example, and has prepared for him to be promoted to the rank of private.

But he knew that he kept making mistakes, and he was still in front of Tang Dao.

But Tang Dao's performance was obviously different from what he imagined.

"You and your comrades have done a great job. Because of your tenacity, we won this blocking battle." Tang Dao said suddenly. "Here, please accept our tribute on their behalf!"

“Salute!” Tang Dao roared softly.

Standing at attention, an army colonel saluted a lowly private. He deserves it, and his comrades deserve it even more.

After a brief moment of shock, a group of lieutenant colonels and majors behind Tang Dao, including second lieutenants and soldiers in the trenches, all stood up straight and saluted the confused Tudou.

After a while, Tudou, who was being saluted with military salutes by a large group of soldiers, finally reacted.

It was not saluted by a group of officers and colleagues with the highest military etiquette, but what Tang Dao just said, victory.

“Sir, did we win this battle?” Tudou asked blankly.

"Yes, we won." A smile appeared on Tang Dao's face.

“If we hadn't won this battle and the Japanese had retreated, then it would be illegal for me to salute, wouldn't it?”

The Japanese army had retreated for more than an hour, but no one dared to say victory before Tang Dao actually announced it. The main reason is that the Japanese still have artillery. What if a lot of people get excited and jump into the trenches to cheer, and the Japanese fire a burst of artillery?

If he falls before dawn, that is what Tang Dao does not want to see.

So, until he came here, Tang Dao had suppressed the news of victory. Now, in order to prevent this soldier from being punished by military law, Tang Dao could only announce it.

Of course, the scouts had just sent a signal. The Japanese army had retreated to two kilometers away, and the threat was completely eliminated.

The soldiers here are qualified to enjoy the taste of victory. They paid for it with their blood, including the people who are sleeping here. They need to hear the cry of victory.

“Sir, have we really won?” The second lieutenant platoon leader's lips trembled with excitement.

"Yes, we won." Tang Dao nodded.

"Heavy rain, blow the trumpet to announce to the whole army that we have won."

The sound of the trumpet resounded loudly throughout the hills.

"Won!"

"we won!"

Podou and the soldiers trembled their lips and repeated nervously.

Perhaps it was because the impact of the news was so great that no one in the trenches cheered for a long time. Instead, they were all muttering in disbelief.

Until Tudou suddenly started to run wildly, ran to an open space outside the trench, and roared like a wolf in the direction of Highland No. 3: "Brothers from the Seventh and Ninth Companies, did you hear this? We won, Beat away the devils."

“We won, I won!”

“The devils were defeated!”

The soldiers jumped out of the trenches with their guns in hand, stood on the top of the mountain, and roared and shouted toward the mountains.

The roars of dozens of people alerted the rest of the soldiers. After they were sure that the roars came from their own people and heard the trumpet sound representing victory, a moment later, they also joined the ranks of the crazy roars of victory.

The cheers of more than a thousand people shocked the two highlands. Hundreds of men whose faces were so dirty that they could hardly distinguish their eyes and eyebrows, and many of whose dark blue jackets were in tatters, seemed to be crazy. Just jumping and shouting on the top of the mountain.

The roar of two thousand people exploded in the hills.

They raised their guns high and roared in the direction of the Japanese army's departure.

Even Tantai Mingyue, like the soldiers around her, shouted loudly.

Only this time, she did not hold a pen, but held her Browning and raised it high to the sky, her fair face flushed.

A pen cannot defeat the enemy, but a gun can.

Here, the Japanese army collapsed;

Here, the Japanese army discarded their armor;

Here, the Japanese army returned without success;

“I won, but Chen Sanguo and Mazi Guo, you didn't see it!” Tudou covered his face and cried bitterly.

Shouting and shouting, more people had tears flowing freely on their faces.

Those are not tears of happiness, but tears of sadness.

How sad it is to taste victory without the company of many brothers.

They stand here, cheering for victory, but they are lying in the cold soil.

Brother, can you hear me?

we won!

You must hear it, because you are here and never far away.

Highland No. 3 is silent, but the wind is hunting!

PS: Something happened during the day, so the update is late!
