Rise From Eight Hundred Chapter 653

Chapter 653: Of course I am in a good mood if you feel aggrieved!

The day of December 5th was definitely the most frustrating day for the Kunisaki detachment.

Throughout the day, the army, which was divided into three sections, only walked 10 kilometers, not to mention the soldiers who had not slept much all night only had so much energy.

Faced with nearly 10,000 troops and more than 20 artillery pieces that were ready, the Chinese launched attacks again and again.

　　Just use their light mortar, which weighs only 50 kilograms, to hit more than a dozen shells from time to time.

The infantry artillery and mountain artillery that had already made various preparations responded quickly, but the Chinese basically hid behind the mountains and made full use of the large elevation angle of the mortars, while the mountain artillery and mortars basically could only blow up mountains for fun. .

Send out the infantry! The distance of one kilometer may not seem that far, but anyone with a keen eye will know that by the time the infantry arrives, the day lily will be cold several times.

What's more, what if this is a fishing trick by the Chinese? Maybe the harassment was to lure the infantry. There were still so many Chinese hidden in the dense forest!

The artillery was unable to hit, the infantry did not dare to advance, and the majestic Japanese Empire's nearly 10,000-strong army was beaten all the way by the Chinese's small artillery. No, to be more precise, he was hung up for a whole day.

Kunizaki is so embarrassed and angry!

Or to use a more precise word, it is pain.

The map shows that he is still 40 kilometers away from leaving this mountainous area. If it were in a plain area, this would only be one day's field march for the imperial infantry, but in this hellish place, especially when the Chinese continued to destroy the roads and harass them, he would have to wait at least four days.

Four days! Kunisaki's head was buzzing at the thought of marching under constant harassment from the Chinese for the next four days and nights.

And as the supreme commander, he knew very well that the Chinese harassment that delayed the march of the army and caused casualties was only secondary. What was more important was the trust of his officers and soldiers in him as a commander. .

If the Chinese are allowed to attack so unscrupulously and he does not make an effective counterattack, it will not take three or four days. It is estimated that by tomorrow, his name as a useless commander will have grown crazily in the hearts of all his subordinates.

If even the top commander cannot be trusted, it is obvious that the efficiency of executing military orders will be significantly reduced, and the combat effectiveness will naturally not be mentioned.

"Damn it, we can't continue like this. Our army must wipe out this Chinese army before leaving the mountainous area." Seeing that the sun was about to set, Kunizaki, standing under a cliff, finally made up his mind.

Since the Chinese want to hold him back, they can simply fulfill their wish and use air superiority and military superiority to find them and annihilate them.

"Inform Colonel Takeuchi Unzan, Colonel Oda Nobu, and General Ri Shoushan, as well as Major Koizumi Yosaburo of the Sixth Division Artillery Battalion, Major Kazuo Into of the Cavalry Squadron, Major Natsukawa Shiaki of the Armored Corps, and others to come to the detachment headquarters for a meeting." Kunizaki, who had already made up his mind, gave an order to the Lieutenant Colonel and Chief of Staff beside him.

These are the core senior officers of the Kunizaki detachment.

As for the top commander of the artillery brigade of the Kunizaki detachment, Yanagawa Kazuo, because he ran away with the artillerymen without any resistance, and also had a fierce battle in the dark with an infantry brigade responsible for the pursuit, which caused the Chinese to escape. This sin is already extremely great.

But what disgusted Kunisaki the most was that this guy also said that he would rather abandon his pride as a soldier to preserve excellent technical arms for the empire.

Obviously he is afraid of death, but he can still explain it with a "I'm shameless but I insist" face that is so refreshing and refined. This is the only one Kunizaki has encountered in his military career.

It happened that he, the detachment leader, could not bring this guy to justice on the spot, so he could only take him and a group of artillery officers into custody, waiting for the North China Expeditionary Army Headquarters to decide how to deal with it.

However, seeing as the North China Expeditionary Force Headquarters has not given an explanation for several days, it is estimated that the major issue is being minimized and eventually left alone.

Naturally, those who can participate in the highest military meeting of the Kunisaki Detachment will not be those artillery commanders who don't even have cannons. They can only be the artillerymen of the 6th Division who came from the 36th Brigade to support them. .

As for the guys from the 36th Brigade who have lost their will to fight, they probably have just arrived at the deserted Guangde County Town! Kunizaki had already lost his patience with them and didn't even bother to contact them again.

The Japanese army held a military meeting in full swing.

Four kilometers away from here, at a bonfire in the lee of a mountain col, seven or eight officers including Tang Dao and Lei Xiong sat together.

It is both to keep warm and to have dinner.

Three baked potatoes for each person were buried in the ashes under the campfire.

However, it was not Tang Dao who summoned him, but a bunch of people who came uninvited and came to Tang Dao to have a meal.

Tang Dao couldn't help but twitch as he saw his and Tantai Mingyue's three-day rations being devoured by these big men.

It's not that Commander Tang was stingy, but that this was a military order signed by him personally. Regardless of whether it is a lieutenant or a school officer, each person has three potatoes per day, and each soldier has two potatoes per day.

Aren't the six big men Leng Feng, Li Jijin, Qian Dazhu, Zhao Daqiang, Pang Hai, and Cheng Tieshou just like 18 potatoes? In this case, Lao Hei and Gu Xishui were the only ones who wanted to bring their own potatoes. Otherwise, Tang Dao, who could no longer bring out potatoes, would have given them up.

The main reason for this situation is that Kuhaha has too many companions, which has depleted even the large independent business.

The food reserves of the 145th Division have long been insufficient, and there are many wounded. In order to support the friendly forces, Tang Dao ordered half of the food reserves to be given to them. But now the Independent Battalion is no longer the original 1,100 people. It has also been joined by 1,000 people from the Sichuan Army Corps, which has been removed from the title of "Avenging Regiment". Taking into account those who have been sacrificed, together with the wounded, the entire army has more than 2,200 people.

The food that was originally sufficient to sustain 1,100 men and horses for 20 days suddenly dropped sharply to only be able to sustain the entire army for five days.

Chief of Staff Zhuang Shisan has implemented a wartime emergency supply system for the entire army since yesterday. Each soldier's ration has been reduced from 6 taels of rice to 3 taels. If you don't have enough to eat, you can make up for it with potatoes. This thing, It was simply the standard military ration for the Chinese army during this period.

Tang Dao, the supreme commander, and the reporter from Tantai University are no exception.

Of course, Tang Dao knew better. Infantry company commanders like Li Jijin, who were promoted from veterans, had anticipated this day long ago. The soldiers had their own stocks. Even if the battalion headquarters did not allocate food, they could still Lasted for two days.

Even so, these gangsters took the opportunity to come to the battalion headquarters to eat the potatoes allocated to Tang Dao. No one said they would bring a pound of rice for Battalion Commander Tang to drink porridge.

"Damn it, none of it is good!" Seeing Li Jiujin and Leng Feng devouring roasted potatoes, Tang Dao suddenly wanted to give these two capable subordinates a piece of cake. foot.

You guys will feel better if you starve me to death, right?

Probably sensing that Commander Tang had a fierce look on his face, Li Jiujin bared his big yellow teeth and raised the last potato in his hand towards Tang Dao: "Sir, you eat it! This potato is roasted to be charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and tastes good. It's also filling, and there's still more for three potatoes, which is really good.”

After finishing speaking, he looked at Qian Dazhu, who was also munching, "Really, Zhuzhu?"

“Hmm! The Tantai Press Conference roasted it, it was much better than my two signal soldiers roasted, it was so delicious!” Qian Dazhu nodded vigorously, and did not forget to praise Tantai Mingyue.

“It's so delicious, isn't it? Hehe! That's because you haven't tasted something more delicious.

　　I didn't expect it! I also have a large piece of pickled horse meat hidden here. I won't dare to take it out until you are full. Otherwise, you guys will not give me a feast! "Tang Dao sneered and shouted into the distance.

“Erya, take the horse meat I've hidden and roast it for Deputy Battalion Commander Lei and others, and give us a few full jars of wine. You guys are full anyway, so don't waste food.”

“Damn it! Sir, you are so unreasonable! I haven't eaten enough, really.” Li Jiujin felt very melancholy.

In an instant, I felt that the freshly rubbed potatoes were no longer so fragrant.

Qian Dazhu's face turned bitter as he followed a few big brothers to rub the chief's potatoes. Qian Dazhu's eyes were full of resentment when he looked at Li Jiujin.

Look! We knew that the commander had something private, so we all ended up eating a lot of potatoes.

After all, you are still too young! If I had known earlier, when the chief asked everyone to eat potatoes, he should have refused.

Pang Dahai and Cheng Tieshou even stared at Li Jiujin. On the way to the camp headquarters, wasn't this the guy who encouraged everyone to have dinner with Chief Tang? This is great! Look at the taste of people eating meat and drinking wine, how greedy it is!

"Haha! Let you blackmail me." Seeing the melancholy looks in the eyes of several subordinates who felt they had been cheated, Tang Dao couldn't help but feel good after being blackmailed.

Several lieutenants were in a bad mood until Erya came to report with a grimace: "Sir, didn't you ask me to give that piece of horse meat to the medical team so they can replenish the wounded? Especially that Captain Cai, he is still unconscious. , when it comes to drinking meat porridge, it's like one of the three!”

"Oh! I forgot about that, forget it." Tang Dao slapped his head and pretended to suddenly realize.

“Pfft!” Tantai Mingyue smiled and handed Tang Dao a peeled potato. "That's it, Captain Leng and the others just ate a few of your potatoes! Are you lying to me?"

"Hey! Who told these guys to come to rub my potatoes even though they have rice and meat? Do you think I'm stupid?" Tang Dao said with a smile.

“Hey! Sir, you almost deceived me into salivating, you are so stingy!” Li Jijin sighed, shaking his head.

The other people also laughed.

This can be regarded as a way for several people to get closer to the commander Tang Dao.

In this world, only one of us has the right to take advantage of others' things, right?

Of course, the more important thing is to be in a good mood.

The Japanese had nothing to do against the independent battalion that constantly harassed them all day and night. If they continue to fight according to this pattern, this will simply be the easiest battle since they entered the battlefield.

none of them.

PS: I've been busy all day again today. After I got home at 6 o'clock, I wrote a chapter of 3,000 words. I was so tired. That's it for today. I will update the next two chapters tomorrow.
