Chapter 717: Ruthless Military Law (Part 2)
“Leng Feng, get out of the queue!”
“Here we come!” Leng Feng stood out of the queue with his head held high.
"Major Leng Feng, a soldier in the 19th year of the Republic of China, with seven years of military service. He entered the Songhu battlefield as a vanguard of our Chinese army before April. He participated in a total of 18 battles in two months. Later, he joined the 1st Battalion of the 524th Regiment and stationed at Sihang Warehouse to fight against the Japanese invaders. After six days of fierce fighting, he was promoted to captain twice with great achievements. He then defended Songjiang with the Four Lines Battalion and fought hard at Baihe Port. He attacked the Sixth Heavy Artillery Brigade at night, Major Jin!" Tang Dao stared at the number one warrior under his command in front of him, his tone cold. Thinking about Leng Feng's past achievements.
"Major Leng Feng, if I remember correctly, as a veteran with seven years of military service and a commander who has participated in more than 20 battles, large and small, even if you saw your younger brother fighting with stones during the battle at Sihang Warehouse, Even if you died on the spot, you also obeyed the military orders of your superiors and did not blindly fight against the Japanese invaders. I want to ask you, why did you disobey the orders this time? "
Leng Feng looked straight forward, tears flashing in his eyes, but he bit his lip and said nothing.
Tang Dao's question was like a sharp bayonet stabbing his heart.
In the queue standing straight, there were many veterans who were familiar with Leng Feng. They lowered their heads and did not dare to look at Leng Feng's slightly trembling back.
Of course they knew what Leng Feng's taboos were. His younger brother died in battle in front of him, but he, the elder brother, was powerless. What a blow to this strong northern young man! This was an injury he couldn't mention.
Many times at night, the officers and soldiers who were not on guard duty fell asleep. In this kind of wartime, being able to guarantee four or five hours of sleep is a rare luxury.
But Leng Feng, the company commander, was always inspecting sentries outside the station or inside and outside the trenches over and over again.
Those who don't know his past would just think that this steel-like major company commander is so dedicated to his duties that he is almost harsh. In fact, only those who know him know that he can no longer sleep like a normal person unless he consumes all his energy. Only then did Er Jing have the opportunity to sleep for two hours to replenish his strength. Otherwise, he was afraid that the pale face of his youngest brother would appear in front of him as soon as he closed his eyes.
The man who was able to kill several Japanese invaders by himself was unable to save his younger brother. This was the eternal inner demon of this powerful soldier.
But Tang Dao was so cruel, poking his scars that never really healed in front of so many soldiers.
"He is not just cold, he is completely cruel! Cruel!" There were at least several female students in the student company with their almond-shaped eyes widened and they upgraded the labels on Tang Dao.
Leng Feng has basically been seen by all the student soldiers. Although he is stern and unsmiling, under his command, the officers and soldiers of the company who have been assigned to follow the student company have given the greatest sacrifice to this group of people who have never traveled such a long distance. The proud ones help.
The soldiers and officers, who had already carried more than 20 kilograms of weight, did their best to help the frail students carry the salute. They also sent precious canned beef to help light the fire when they camped at night, despite the icy cold wind and strong In the night, there would be at least four groups of rotating sentries swimming outside the camp of the student company. In the early morning, white dew and frost could be seen on the helmets and brows of the soldiers of the company.
Although the proud men of heaven are proud, they are not ungrateful. They always keep this feeling in their hearts. The cold-hearted and warm-hearted Captain Leng opposite him is always grateful.
Moreover, they only now know why Captain Leng keeps a cold face and avoids strangers. It turns out that his brother died in battle in front of his eyes. What a painful thing it must be! As a result, there are still such callous people poking scars on people.
Especially for girls who are born with maternal instincts, a few more impatient girls immediately opened their mouths and wanted to speak, but the calmer companions around them quickly stopped them.
They are young people, but they are not stupid. They know that this is the army and not a school. What kind of democracy comes from the military law? In ancient times, weren't there too many cases of commanders beheading their generals? And looking at the ruthless look of this supreme commander, it doesn't seem like a joke to kill a few outsiders to scare the entire army? Can't give him this chance.
But this group of proud men who have not been beaten up by society is a little overthinking. If Tang Dao wants to chop off someone's head to shock the entire army, it must be of sufficient weight. These academic elites are just a figure in the eyes of ordinary people. , but in front of these soldiers who wander around the edge of life and death every day, he is just a useless scholar.
Of course, the big soldiers can ignore the useless scholars, but Tang Dao cannot. He knows the importance of these elites in the future. As long as they survive and do not choose to leave, they will almost be the future Chinese scientific and academic circles. In the entire sky of the world, Tang Dao would not do that stupid thing.
The dissatisfaction of Tang Dao, the arrogant of the heavens held back, did not mean that someone could bear it.
"Woo! The stone is not dead, you are not allowed to scold Uncle Leng! Uncle Tang, you are a bad person!" Following the example of the soldiers, a child standing upright on the mountain wiped his tears and cried.
That is a small stone.
However, it's not that the independent battalion is short of soldiers, even children aged seven or eight are recruited.
It was when the Independence Camp was about to leave. Shitou's grandfather found Leng Feng and begged Leng Feng to take Shitou and the little girl who was no more than three years old away. The reason was also very simple. Tang Dao personally told all the villagers who evacuated from Qinglongling Village that now Qinglongling Village has become a scorched earth, and in order to prevent the Japanese army from retaliating, no one can return to live in the village.
For this reason, Tang Dao gave 100 kilograms of rice and 30 pieces of silver to each household in Qinglongling Village, hoping that they would find another place. The villagers were extremely grateful and either went to see relatives and friends, or helped the old and the young to go deeper. Heading into the mountains.
Tang Dao did not underestimate the Japanese army. According to the later report of Gu Xishui's special operations team, the Japanese army who went to the golden pit to collect the bodies and confirmed that the Chinese army had left stayed near the simple road for three days. Most of the Japanese infantry were moving rocks. However, two infantry squadrons used infantry squads as units to conduct so-called terrain reconnaissance on the surrounding mountainous area ten kilometers away.
Actually, they are looking for local villages to vent their anger. Fortunately, Tang Dao had already ordered all nearby villagers not to go home within a month. The Japanese did not find anyone, but they set fire to them, burning all the villages they passed into a piece of white ground.
The Qinglongling Village that had appeared on the battlefield was the focus of the search. It was not enough that the aerial bombs had been blown up, and gasoline was poured on it to burn the ruins and vegetation on the entire isolated ridge.
The old man secretly found Leng Feng and said that he was too old and weak to support his two young children in the cold mountains. He was already over seventy years old and it didn't matter if he died, but the two children were still young. He hoped that Leng Feng could take the brothers and sisters away. , went to a place where there was no war, and gave the brothers and sisters to kind people for adoption. They also insisted on giving the 30 silver yuan compensation from Tang Dao to Leng Feng, saying that it would be used as food expenses for the brothers and sisters.
What the old man said is the truth. In the past, we had a house and the help of the villagers, but the grandfather and grandson lived so hard. Now we have no house and no land, living in the mountains. Can the old man and the children survive this winter?
Leng Feng had no way to refuse, but there was no such precedent in the army, so he had to find Tantai Mingyue first. After hearing this, the kind-hearted Tantai Mingyue also promised to find a good family to adopt the brother and sister as soon as possible. With this guarantee, he asked Tang Dao for instructions. With permission, Leng Feng took the little Shitou brothers and sisters on the road, who cried so much that they could no longer find their grandfather.
The old man who wanted to find a way for his grandchildren to survive quietly left at night, taking only 10 kilograms of rice with him and leaving the rest behind, including the **** sheep that was only half a month old.
Thinking that the **** sheep might be able to produce some goat milk to replenish the body of the seriously injured, although he was a little dumbfounded, Tang Dao could only wave his hands and tacitly agreed to Xiao Shitou to bring the spiritual black sheep. For this reason, Xiao Shitou Shitou murmurs every day that Uncle Tang, whom he has only met once, is a good man.
Therefore, in the army of the independent camp, there were not only a Chinese pastoral dog that was growing in body and two babies, but also a ewe that only gave birth to lambs. This configuration, looking at ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, even if it is not the first, it is Extremely rare.
This is all the work that Leng Feng took on himself, so naturally he has to take responsibility for it.
For this reason, Leng Feng dedicated his manpower to take care of the two brothers, and the extra burden was shared among others. Even Captain Leng had at least five kilograms more weight on his shoulders.
However, not only did the officers and soldiers of the first company complain about Leng Feng because of the extra oil bottles, but the rest of the company was also envious.
In that company, can there be a little girl with a sweet voice who can use her short legs and a towel to wipe the sweat of the uncles and buddies when they are tired from marching? The moment I wiped my forehead with the towel, and listened to the milky voice and the milky cry of uncle, I was completely exhausted.
Especially those soldiers who have children at home, when they see the little brother and sister, the love in their eyes is so strong that it almost overflows.
For example, there is a cheeky guy from the second company who will run to the first company whenever he can. He especially likes the three-year-old girl so much that the few candies in his pocket basically go to the girl. Even Dahei Because the sheep all loved the house and the crow, they ate a lot of concentrated feed obtained by a certain company commander from the baggage company.
To be honest, it wasn't just because of the stone and the little girl. The big-bellied black sheep was also a sheep. People don't eat for free. They had two bullet boxes on their backs for a long time. They walked very fast on the mountain road with their four little hooves. Sometimes, Suddenly, they stood alert and looked around. There must be something going on. The soldiers discovered several mountain people hiding in the mountains, who could be used as sentries to pursue the 'Hammer'.
But now, because of Tang Dao's ruthlessness, in order to protect his Uncle Leng, Shi Shi bravely stood up and called Tang Dao a "bad guy".
Because, the stone is not dead!
“Woo! My brother is not dead, you bad guy!” The little Lolita with two braids on the side burst into tears.
'Well done! ' Several female students who were so angry that they puffed up their cheeks cheered the two little guys in their hearts.
No matter what the soldiers thought, Tang Dao caused public outrage among them anyway.
It's just that the proud men underestimated Tang Dao's ruthlessness.
Frowning, Tang Dao's voice became even colder, "The subordinates of the first company are not strict and allow the subordinate officers to interrupt when they are lecturing. You four platoon leaders, go and lead the military law yourself, five whips!"
"Yes!" The four second lieutenant platoon commanders from the first company strode out and trotted to the guard platoon.
Crackling, it's like a whip.
This time, let alone the proud ones, were stunned. Even the stone didn't dare to cry anymore, and even reached out to cover the mouth of the little girl next to him.
Although Shi Shi is young, he is young and mature. Otherwise, he would not have the guts to fool the cruel Japanese soldiers. He knows that the reason why the four platoon commander uncles were whipped has something to do with the Uncle Tang whom he just accused. If If he and his sister cry again, maybe all the uncles in the company will be whipped.
You even bully a three-year-old kid who doesn't know much about the world, you devil!
Ruthless and ruthless is no longer enough to describe the "ferocious" displayed by Tang Dao at this time. The proud men of heaven have now upgraded and upgraded Tang Dao's evaluation. If Tang Dao was any better, it is estimated that only the devil will be the next one. The level has reached the top, right?
Anyway, Tang Dao was the kind of person who was "fierce and fierce" at this time. The fact that two children, one large and one small, stopped crying at the same time is the best proof.
Seeing that Leng Feng kept his mouth tightly shut, Tang Dao turned his attention to Qian Dazhu again.
"Lieutenant Qian Dazhu, a soldier in the 24th year of the Republic of China, accompanied the 26th Division of the 43rd Army into the Songhu battlefield. He first fought **** battles in Dachang Town for seven days and nights, and then participated in the defense of Songjiang with the 43rd Army. During the Battle of Cangcheng, the former infantry platoon There were almost only two people left in Mo. They were promoted to second lieutenant three levels in a row because they held the position alone for nearly a quarter of an hour without letting the position fall into the enemy's hands. They were promoted to lieutenant for their outstanding achievements in the night attack on the Sixth Heavy Artillery Brigade!
Let me ask you Qian Dazhu, your former 26th Division 2nd Regiment, 3rd Battalion and 2nd Platoon were almost wiped out even if they were holding the position alone, and no one resisted the order to retreat. Why is your Qian Dazhu now? "
Qian Dazhu stepped out and opened his mouth, but in the end he said nothing.
Tang Dao turned his attention to Zhao Daqiang again. Zhao Daqiang stepped forward and stepped out of the queue without waiting for Tang Dao to call his name.
"Lieutenant Zhao Daqiang, a soldier in the 19th year of the Republic of China, with seven years of military service. He entered the Songhu battlefield with the 26th Division of the 43rd Army. He fought **** battles with the Japanese invaders for seven days and nights in Dachang Town. Later, he participated in the Songjiang Defense War with the 43rd Army. He was promoted to second lieutenant for his bravery in combat. He made outstanding achievements in the battle to destroy the 6th Artillery Brigade, Lieutenant Jin!"
. . . . . . . Without waiting for Zhao Daqiang to speak, Tang Dao named the remaining lieutenants of the main battle faction one by one, and kept telling them their military years and their military exploits since joining the army.
Lieutenants stepped out one by one. Faced with Tang Dao's questions about violating the order, no one could answer, even if they all held their heads high.
Because they all know that no matter what their reasons are, stopping in violation of orders is a sure thing.
When he was still in the mountains of Wannan, Tang Dao held a military meeting of all officers of the battalion, including lieutenants and above, and clarified the future combat mission of the independent battalion: the military headquarters ordered that after the whole battalion arrived in Jiangbei, it would **** a group of Jinling University student teachers to the north. , and then received a batch of ordnance in Xuzhou and escorted it to the 23rd Group Army of the Sichuan Army, which was fighting the Japanese invaders in the north!
Since the military order has been issued, the entire army will act in accordance with the military order, unless the highest military officer of the independent battalion receives another military order.
Tang Dao is away, so Lei Xiong, who temporarily takes over his command, will assume the responsibility.
But these people violated the order, this is undisputed.
“Sir!” Seeing this situation, Guo Shouzhi, who was standing beside Tang Dao, finally couldn't hold himself back and stood up to say something.
Unexpectedly, Tang Dao waved his hand: "The responsibilities of the lieutenant officer have not yet begun. The responsibilities of the school officer have not yet begun. Deputy Battalion Commander Guo, please be patient!"
Since the formation of the garrison battalion, Tang Dao has been very polite to Guo Shouzhi, his deputy from the 67th Army. This is the first time that he has blocked him with one sentence like this.
Guo Shouzhi had no choice but to shut his mouth again.
Tang Dao looked at the lieutenants headed by Leng Feng, with a cold light flashing in his eyes: "Why, you dare to disobey military orders, but you don't have the guts to tell me why? No one will tell me, so I'll just call them by name one by one."
"Sir, my young brother was killed in the Stone War. It is only my heartache. But the Japanese invaders are wreaking havoc in our city of Jinling. There are millions of Chinese people there! I, Leng Feng, lost his young brother and is still heartbroken and unable to sleep. Those millions of innocent people were killed. How many people will be cut into pieces by the knife of the Japanese invaders? How can I, Leng Feng, watch this tragedy and ignore it?" Leng Feng finally spoke.
On his face as cold as an iceberg, there were two lines of tears.
Hearing what Leng Feng said, the students among the students burst into mourning, some burst into tears, and some burst into tears.
There are many relatives and friends of them who luckily did not leave the city, and now they are all lost and trapped in the city. Thinking about this, there is no reason not to cry bitterly.
"Sir, I have not been in the army for a long time, but when we set off from the station, my squad leader told me that we went to the battlefield this time to protect the folks in my hometown. Therefore, my squad leader died, and my platoon leader died. The company commander is dead, and the battalion commander is disabled! Since I followed you, sir, I have learned a truth. I am Chinese, and all Chinese people in the world are my fellow villagers, Qian Dazhu. Now that I see my fellow villagers suffering, I How can I live up to my company commander, platoon commander, and squad leader if I just leave like this?" Qian Dazhu suddenly said loudly.
"Very good, you two have good reasons." Tang Dao nodded, glanced at the other lieutenants, and sighed slightly. "Perhaps you think the same way!"
“Expelling the Japanese pirates, restoring China, and defending our people are the only goals of our entire Chinese army.” Tang Dao's voice suddenly rose an octave. "But have you ever thought about it, even if our independent battalion has three heads and six arms, how many Japanese invaders can we kill if we run headlong into them like you are going to do?
Is it three thousand, five thousand, or ten thousand? "
“With the whole battalion fighting to the death, we can destroy at least 4,000 Japanese invaders!” Young Qian Dazhu frowned.
“Then Qian Dazhu is quite conservative.” Tang Dao sneered. "If our independent battalion risked the lives of all 2,200 men in the battalion, together with the sick and wounded who could still pull off the grenade explosive packs, we could kill at least 6,000 Japanese."
The faces of the soldiers who stood upright were sad and proud at the same time. The whole country dared to say that with 2,000 troops to replace three times the Japanese invaders' troops, it might be their independent battalion. But, so what? There were hundreds of thousands of Japanese invaders inside and outside Jinling City.
Even if everyone fights to the death, the danger of Jinling still cannot be resolved. This is what is really sad.
"In today's battlefield, even if my independent battalion is completely dead, it can only rush into the battlefield 20 kilometers at most. I can't even see the shadow of Jinling City, and it will be swallowed up by the Japanese army that now has heavy troops." Not left. What's the use? Let the Japanese throw my corpses into the Yangtze River to feed the fish?" Tang Dao said coldly.
"But if I tell you, give me three years, no, two years, my independent battalion can fend off 10,000 Japanese invaders without falling behind. Give me five years, my independent battalion can kill a total of 50,000 Japanese invaders." Sooner or later, you can even place the corpses of the killed Japs in a circle around Jinling City. Will Qian Dazhu choose the former or the latter? "
The muscles on Qian Dazhu's face twitched fiercely, but he couldn't say a word.
The whole place fell silent, and even the cries of the students there were involuntarily muted.
The proud men of heaven looked at Tang Dao with more disbelief. They didn't know who gave this little battalion commander such courage to brag like this.
Twenty thousand Japanese invaders, which is more than half of a division. To stop such a large army, we must have an army of 100,000. Couldn't he be promoted to lieutenant general in two years?
'Tang Dazui! ' This is the label that the proud men here have put on Tang Dao.
If Camp Commander Tang had not been big enough, he would probably have been unable to put all the labels on him.
But completely different from the student soldiers, the officers and soldiers of the independent battalion believed it, not only the soldiers who had begun to admire him, but also the lieutenants who were being sprayed by Tang Dao.
Because, Tang Dao never breaks his promise, no matter Si Xing, Songjiang or Guangde.
They all believed that one day, sooner or later, under the leadership of Tang Dao, they would pile the heads of the killed Japanese into a mountain.
“Sir, I was wrong, I am willing to be punished!” Leng Feng's originally level gaze lowered. "Leng Feng is willing to resign as commander of the first company and accept all military laws!"
“Qian Dazhu is willing to be punished!”
“Zhao Daqiang is willing to be punished!”
“Batalion Commander!” Seeing this situation, Lei Xiong couldn't help but become a little anxious.
Although these lieutenants have argued with him, it is undisputed that they are currently the best company-level commanders in the Independent Battalion. If they all resign because of this, the losses to the Independent Battalion will be too great.
Tang Dao raised his hand, stopped Lei Xiong's words, and looked coldly at a group of lieutenants who admitted their mistake, "Very good. Originally, according to wartime military law, disobeying orders was a death penalty. Seeing that the country still needs to employ people, what are you doing?" For the sake of your guilty plea, I will punish you all by removing your military rank from each company, temporarily changing your military rank to a first-class soldier, and deducting your pay for one year to see the consequences. In addition, you can escape the death penalty, but you cannot avoid the life penalty. You will each go to the military law team to lead the whip. Thirty!" Tang Dao waved his hand.
“Yes!” The lieutenants headed by Leng Feng all raised their hands in salute.
Hearing this punishment, except for the proud men of the student company who showed dissatisfaction, most of the soldiers secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
There was no excuse, it was destroyed with one shot!
Now it's just that I'm temporarily removed from my position. Didn't you listen to what Chief Tang said? Temporarily assigned as a first-class soldier, he might be able to resume his military duties in a month or two, right?
As for those 30 lashes, they sound terrible, but it was my brother who was the one who executed them! Can the brothers in the security platoon still be able to kill him? Didn't you see Li Jijin and Battalion Commander Li Day stopped humming now?
yes! Don't faint from the pain! I don't know how many soldiers subconsciously looked at Veteran Youzi, who was the industry benchmark, and being whipped was no exception.
Lao Li was standing upright at the moment. Seeing everyone's eyes glancing over, he quickly bared his teeth and grinned!
The play must have a beginning and an end. We cannot cheat our brothers.
Made, the stubborn old Li cheated on me. When he saw Tang Dao's cold face, Lao Hei was so frightened that he broke into a white-haired sweat.
There was a frightening crackling sound of whips in the field. Lao Hei and the soldiers in the guard platoon felt a little bitter in their hearts. It was hard to tell whether the blows were light or heavy. At most, they were only 80% strong.
Even so, a group of lieutenants were beaten to pieces! The back was also covered in blood, which was shocking to see.
It is said that later in Xuzhou City, veteran Youzi was blackmailed by the group of lieutenants who were beaten, and he spent ten yuan on his life.
As for the reason, it goes without saying that everyone knows that the whiplash originally healed in four or five days, but because the scene was not performed well, it was extended to seven or eight days.
On the contrary, Lao Hei, who was responsible for the execution, was not blamed, which made Captain Li Dal very painful.
However, the lieutenants were subject to military law, and the matter was not completely over yet.
Since Tang Dao has decided to use this incident to rectify the situation, he must let everyone remember it.
“This is a ruthless person!” Battalion Commander Tang was labeled again.
