Chapter 660 The 'Regretful' Major General!
“You kid, you've created a big pie to trick me into taking the initiative!” The Army Major General reacted with a wry smile and tapped the Tang Dao with his bright smile.
“Sir Tong, it's not that my cake is big enough, but that you and I, from the same hometown and clan, can't share a share of this feast!” Tang Dao replied with a smile.
"Tell me! What do you want me to do? According to the blueprint your boy has just carefully drawn, and you have a few good supporters to support you, I think my task will not be easy!" After coming back to his senses, The Army Major General's face returned to calmness, and his eyes showed seriousness.
Tang Dao also put away his bright smile and looked at the Army Major General formally.
There are not many records about this Sichuan Army major general in the history books. Tang Dao only knows that after Lieutenant General Rao died in the battle, he took over as the commander of the 145th Division and led the replenished 145th Division to continue fighting against the Japanese invaders. But even if he was promoted The lieutenant general of the army has outstanding military exploits, but his glory has been overshadowed by his predecessor who led a lonely battle and refused to surrender.
Because being able to remember those who sacrificed is the best that humans who are good at forgetting can do.
Everyone here, including him, will eventually be swept away by the long river of time. When those who survived the battlefield also leave, no one will remember them anymore.
But so what? These people did not disappoint the times they lived in, and that was enough.
Just like the general in front of me.
Through these days of contact, Tang Dao already knew that the Army Major General in front of him must not be ignored. Although he was tempted by the beautiful blueprint he designed to actively seek war, he could still quickly wake up and ask about his mission directly.
"With the current strength of our unit, even if we have 'heartless cannons', enough explosives and the advantage of the terrain, we can only do our best to annihilate a partial division of the Japanese army." Tang Dao also answered directly.
“So.” The Army Major General's eyes twitched sharply. .
“So, Commander Tong, you need to work with your department to help our department attract and contain the main force of Guo Qizheng. Because your department does not have enough troops, I will let the 4th company of my independent battalion and the first baggage company cooperate with you.” Tang Dao said.
The Army Major General did not answer immediately, his brows furrowed.
Obviously, for this Sichuan Army major general, the difficulty of the task given to him by Tang Dao was somewhat beyond his expectation.
The combined guard company and baggage company of the 145th Division only have 400 people. Even if an infantry company and baggage company of the independent battalion are added, the number will never exceed 700.
Two infantry companies plus one and a half baggage companies, their combat effectiveness is roughly equivalent to that of an infantry battalion. They have almost no heavy firepower, but they have to deal with the main force of the Japanese army carrying infantry artillery into the mountains. It is a complete egg against a stone.
Tang Dao didn't rush him either.
This is a difficult and dangerous task. If this person agrees, he will not believe it easily.
If there is no determination, and if the Japanese army on the battlefield persists long enough and is not entangled by the main force of the Japanese army to come back for reinforcements, I am afraid that what awaits him and the 2,000 officers and soldiers is the fate of the entire army being annihilated.
Then he would rather select the most trustworthy subordinates from the besieging army to carry out this extremely risky task.
Originally, before the arrival of the Army Major General, Tang Dao felt that the most suitable candidates were Leng Feng's 1st Company led by Lei Xiong and Zhao Daqiang's 4th Company.
Now, he can at least free up an elite infantry company, and the chance of winning in ambushing the Japanese army will increase by at least 10%.
The three lieutenant colonels all followed Tang Dao's lead. Seeing that Tang Dao was already so direct, of course it was even harder to interrupt, so they all waited in place.
In fact, for these three people, it would be normal if the Sichuan Army Major General in front of them chooses to refuse. The entire infantry division has withdrawn from the battlefield, but the possibility of a major general and brigade commander taking such a big risk to cooperate with an army colonel to complete a tactical concept that is just on paper is almost zero.
When Tang Dao came to them in the afternoon and told them about the tactical plan and planned to ask the Sichuan Army transport team to participate, the three of them didn't have much illusions about it.
It's not that Tang Dao's unorthodox tactical plan is too risky, but that an extremely important link in the entire tactical plan is almost a narrow escape. Even as a member of the independent battalion, if you want to take on this important task, you have to do it. Think again and again.
What's more, is it a friendly army? Building the glory of others on one's own corpse cannot be supported by patriotism alone.
It required great courage to sacrifice hundreds of people.
The air was so heavy that it was almost stagnant.
Long time!
“Give me a cigarette!” the Army Major General suddenly said, breaking the silence.
Lei Xiong took out his cigarette, and Master Zhuang struck a match to help him light it.
After taking a few puffs of cigarette, the Army Major General cast his stern eyes across the faces of the Army Colonel and the three Lieutenant Colonels who were standing upright, and threw down the cigarette, "Damn it, it's not too late for me to regret it now. ?”
Is the refusal so tactful? Tang Dao's mouth twitched.
"I really regret it! I regret that I took the initiative to ask to bring people to deliver supplies to your independent camp, otherwise I wouldn't have to listen to your Tang Dao's plan. I regret that I blindly asked to join the war with lard. Of course, What I regret even more is that I asked you for cigarettes.
Smoking this cigarette! He is soft-spoken and short-handed when taking advantage of others. Damn it, I've never owed any favors to anyone in my life, that's all, I'll just put my head up and help you **** fight the Japanese! At worst, he will be a good man again after eighteen years. "The Army Major General sighed sadly.
Hearing what he said, Lei Xiong and the other two looked at each other with surprise. With the addition of 400 Sichuan troops, the probability of Tang Dao's tactical plan being completed is higher than 80%.
"Sir, on behalf of the 2,000 officers and soldiers of my independent battalion, I salute you and the brothers of the 145th Division of the Sichuan Army!" Tang Dao stood at attention and saluted directly.
At this point, a big stone hanging in his heart completely fell to the ground. This military salute must be respected.
"Don't give me a military salute. This gives me a bad premonition. I'm such a scumbag, I didn't bring a military flag this time, and I can't wrap myself up with it. Besides, I can't wrap myself up without it. Okay." The Army Major General waved his hand angrily.
"Then, can I treat you to a nice meal, sir?" Tang Dao had to express his gratitude no matter what.
Unknown to him, Erya's face turned bitter immediately behind him.
After several infantry company commanders fought against the autumn wind before, Battalion Commander Tang's own potato quota has been eaten for three days. How can he entertain the major general and brigade commander?
Hour around the campfire and enjoy the northwest wind!
"You've got it! You've sold the lives of me and Brother 400 just for making a cake and smoking a cigarette. How dare you eat from your Battalion Commander Tang? I'm afraid the 145th Division won't even be enough." The Army Major General simply refused. decisive.
"Okay, Chief Tong, you should go to bed early. We will discuss it tomorrow based on the movements of the Japanese army." Tang Dao was not pretentious.
The main reason is that the landlord has no surplus grain and the colonel has no potatoes. It is best to eat as much as possible.
The Army Major General who was about to go down the mountain staggered.
Looking back at Tang Dao, he sighed: "Master told me about your many advantages. At that time, I wasn't familiar with you and didn't realize it, but now, I know what I like most about you. Yes. Guess that?"
“Stay away from you.” Tang Dao casually told a joke from the future.
sir, you are a talented person.
The three army lieutenant colonels tried their best to suppress their laughter, and their faces almost turned purple.
“You, my dear, are such a wonderful person!” The Army Major General was stunned for a moment, but he couldn't help but laugh loudly.
“I, suddenly I don't regret it so much anymore!”
