Rise From Eight Hundred Chapter 718

Chapter 718 Devil Tang's little plan!

“Deputy Battalion Commander Lei, Deputy Battalion Commander Guo, and Chief of Staff Zhuang!” Tang Dao continued to name them one by one.

"arrive!"

The deputy chief officers of the three independent battalions stepped forward one by one.

What do you want to do? The entire independent battalion and the student soldiers stood together for a moment.

"I am unable to take charge of military affairs due to illness. You three officers are temporarily in charge of the entire battalion. Your company commanders have disobeyed orders. I would like to ask you three officers, why don't you rectify military discipline?" Tang Dao looked at his three officers. The deputy also had a cold expression.

“I am ashamed of my trust in the battalion commander, Lei Xiong is willing to be punished!” Lei Xiong replied loudly.

“Yes, please punish me, battalion commander!” Guo Shouzhi lowered his head.

"Zhuang Shisan is punished!" Zhuang Shisan, who felt that he had suffered an unreasonable disaster, had a bitter look on his face, but he was still a bachelor.

Among the three, Lei Xiong, as the first commander, did not resolutely stop the lieutenants from seeking war, which was a kind of laissez-faire in itself.

Not to mention Guo Shouzhi, as the deputy battalion commander, he actually became the leader of a group of passionate officers. If he hadn't woken up earlier, he would have taken the initiative to admit his mistake when Tang Dao woke up and saw him for the first time. And take responsibility, I am afraid Tang Dao will not give him the opportunity to be punished in public.

As for Zhuang Shisan, a slippery man, it seems that no one on either side supports maintaining neutrality. In fact, it is just a sign of not being able to take responsibility. In some respects, he is even worse than Guo Shouzhi, the leader who insists on wrong opinions.

Especially on the battlefield, as a commander, it is even more unacceptable to be indecisive and have no opinion of your own.

Tang Dao didn't need to be so straightforward, but he also saved face for these three deputies.

“Lei Xiong, as the first deputy commander of the independent battalion, was unable to prevent his subordinates from violating military discipline, causing the entire army to stay in a dangerous area for nearly two days. He was fined half a year's pay and ten lashes!”

“Guo Shouzhi, as the second deputy commander of the independent battalion, does not have the structure that a commander should have. He is swayed by personal emotions and ignores the overall situation of the army. He is fined half a year's pay and twenty lashes!”

“Zhuang Shisan, as the chief of staff of the independent battalion, failed to provide sufficient support to the highest officer within the scope of his duties, allowing wrong remarks to prevail. He was fined half a year and ten lashes!”

“Tang Dao, as the highest officer of the independent battalion, usually neglects management and causes his subordinates to violate military discipline, he will be severely punished. He will be fined one year and twenty lashes!”

“Sir.” Erya and Xia Duyu were shocked.

Tang Dao has just recovered from a serious illness, and these twenty horse whips will make things worse!

“Sir, we are responsible for the mistakes we make. The worst we can do is that I, Li Jiujin, will be whipped again.” Li Jiujin over there was also startled and couldn't help but shout loudly.

"Shut up! Is military discipline and law just like playing house? If you, Li Jijin, want to be whipped again, then come over and line up. I won't stop you." Tang Dao snarled coldly.

Seeing that Tang Dao was so determined, the two signal soldiers and Li Jijin had no choice but to shut up. Seeing that all three of them had given up, who else dared to persuade them? Didn't you see that even the reporter from Taiwan National University remained silent?

Tantai Mingyue knows Tang Dao very well and respects Tang Dao even more. Tang Dao should make the final decision in matters in the military, no matter how reluctant she is to give up.

Tang Dao walked straight in front of the three deputies and roared: "Start, let's go!"

The scene was silent, and people watched with dumbfounded eyes. Under the leadership of Tang Dao, the highest military officer, the four school officers walked to the front of the guard row, unbuttoned their uniforms, took off their uniforms, and exposed their backs.

“This guy is really a cruel person. He not only beats his subordinates, but also his colleagues, and even himself!” The student soldiers who were still a little restless at first became quiet.

Many students' eyes flashed with surprise and admiration. This was probably the first time they had such emotions since seeing Tang Dao.

Not only is Tang Dao labeled as a ruthless person who says, "If you are ruthless, you'll even beat yourself up." These proud men are not so naive that some people would foolishly complain about Tang Dao, which is just to win people's hearts.

After all, not everyone has the courage to use 20 horse whips to win people's hearts, and given Tang Dao's control over the entire independent battalion just now, he has no need at all.

In the firelight, the exposed backs of the several school officers were what struck their hearts the most.

Except for Zhuang Shisan, the chief of staff, whose back is a little bare, Tang Dao, Lei Xiong, and Guo Shouzhi are all covered in scars.

Scars are said to be a soldier's medal of merit, but everyone knows that if you want to get a medal, you must first survive.

Otherwise, those scars may only become fatal wounds.

These three people, just looking at their scars, look like they have escaped from hell.

Tantai Mingyue closed her eyes and did not look at the scar on Tang Dao's back that she was already familiar with.

These days, from the shyness at the beginning to the calmness at the end, she has wiped Tang Dao's body with a towel more than a dozen times.

That scar is all too familiar to her.

But every time she looked at it, she couldn't help but feel distressed.

The scar runs across Tang Dao's back, from the shoulder to the waist, and is nearly forty centimeters long. Just looking at the scar is shocking. You can imagine how painful it is when the skin and flesh are split.

In fact, let alone the onlookers who were frightened, even Tang Dao himself was extremely frightened.

That is the souvenir left by a piece of shell skin grazing the back during the Battle of Cangcheng. As long as it is 1 centimeter deeper, Tang Dao has to go back through the same way.

Fortunately, the piece of shell skin that passed over Tang Dao's back at nearly the speed of sound took away a strip of flesh. The depth of the wound reached a terrifying 1 centimeter. Tang Dao, who was soaring with adrenaline, did not feel any pain at that time until that moment. It was only after the battle that he discovered he was injured.

The treatment method at that time was also very crude. When there was no needle and thread, he just sprinkled styptic powder on it and then wrapped it with a bandage.

That also made Tang Dao discover a miraculous physique of his own. The terrible wound that originally had to be sutured with needles and threads actually closed in just 24 hours. What's even more amazing is that there was no sign of suppuration or infection.

Tang Dao is born with the ability to heal and resist infection, which undoubtedly gives Tang Dao at least 30% more survival rate than ordinary people on the battlefield where swords and guns are blind. However, perhaps it is because the tender meat grows too fast, leaving behind The scars are not so beautiful anymore.

Perhaps, this is the legendary saying that every gain must come with a loss! Just like men like to dream, if you are handsome, have money, and are in great shape, you can exercise for no less than an hour, and you don't want to think that so many good things will happen to you. Why?

But at this point in time, the ferocious scar on the back of Tang Dao is still effective.

The officers and soldiers looked at the collective expressions of solemnity. Just this scar was enough to prove that their commander was worthy of being the bravest warrior. The proud men looked at it, and of course they looked at Tang Dao with admiration. There were so many posts like "cold, cold," Labels like cruelty and devil have become much weaker in an instant.

　　It is said that women have loved heroes since ancient times, but this statement is very biased. It should be said that both men and women love heroes. Women want to marry heroes, while men dream of becoming heroes.

A soldier with a ferocious scar on his strong muscles. Combined with his previous achievements, he definitely fits everyone's imagination of a hero.

“Sir.” Lao Hei's face was as bitter as Coptis chinensis.

It's not that Battalion Commander Tang couldn't be whipped, but what made the army lieutenant feel particularly bitter was how hard he should control when 'beating' his commander.

The force was light. He knew Tang Dao's temper, and he might be whipped in the next moment without his uniform.

But what if it's heavy? Stealing a glance at the solemn and admiring gazes of the officers and soldiers around him, Lao Hei could tell with his toes that he might be scolded in some way afterwards.

Especially the reporter from Tantai University who was not far away. Although her face could not be seen clearly in the uncertain firelight, Lao Hei could clearly see the cold light in her eyes the moment she glanced over.

Thinking about it, the scar on the lover's back is already very distressing, and someone wants to add more to it. If you don't hate a big reporter, who do you hate?

This good guy is much harder to beat than Li Jijin, Lao Hei feels so miserable!

“Shao Teliang's nonsense, enforce military law!” Tang Dao glared.

In full view of the public, the four independent battalion leaders headed by Tang Dao were whipped. Due to the power of Tang Dao, Lao Hei and the soldiers in the guard platoon used at least 90% of their strength to whip the horse whip, which was almost not fancy. Even strong men like Lei Xiong twitched the corners of their eyes in pain. Tang Dao and Guo Shouzhi were both beaten with 20 horse whips, and their backs were even more bloody. As soon as they were beaten, Tantai Mingyue came forward with a few female medical soldiers and gave them to the school officers who had been 'beaten' by them. Applying medicine finally has the 'specialization' that a superior should have.

However, no one has any idea about this specialization.

Whether they are ordinary soldiers from the old army who have long been accustomed to being bullied, or the group of proud students from China's most advanced universities, they all know that the highest officer in any army can order his own execution. , not to say unique, but also extremely rare.

　　When a subordinate makes a mistake, as a superior, he does not punish his subordinates blindly, but instead supports them with all his strength. He is a parent and a brother. With such a superior, who would not be willing to die?

The soldiers were moved, but most of the lieutenants were red-faced and did not dare to watch the famous scene where several school officers were beaten until they groaned repeatedly.

It can even be said that the scene of Tang Dao leading the military law touched them more than beating themselves.

Leng Feng, who rarely showed any emotion, even showed no sign of pain when he was whipped just now. He lowered his head and clenched his fists tightly.

He was afraid of being seen with strong regret in his eyes.

Although he just said that he couldn't bear the pain of millions of people, in fact only he knew that the reason why he wanted to fight to the death was more or less due to personal emotions. His younger brother died in the battle in front of his eyes, and he never forgot it. Only when he killed the Japanese soldiers with his own hands, or saw Japanese infantry corpses lying in front of him, would the sharp pain in his heart lessen.

The Independence Battalion suddenly had to move away from the battlefield to the north. This made Leng Feng, who was already addicted to killing Japanese to relieve his heartache, suddenly feel at a loss. That's why he was so irrational, preferring to disobey military orders and ignore his comrades-in-arms Lei Xiong. Friendship, stand on his opposite side and advocate a decisive battle.

But Tang Dao told him that he was wrong. The so-called decisive battle at this time would not only fail to save the people, but would bury the entire independent battalion here. Even the seriously injured soldiers who had fought desperately on the front line and were seriously injured and now had no ability to resist would be killed. Because of their recklessness, they became the targets of wanton massacre by the Japanese invaders.

The whole army was driven to death for his own selfish desires. Looking at the two ignorant children who were still stubbornly standing on the hillside, and Tang Dao who took the initiative to accept the military law for them, Leng Feng felt regret like never before.

Qian Dazhu and Zhao Daqiang also lowered their heads, which was completely different from their previous attitude of holding their heads high to state their reasons.

Although they have the tenacity to fight to the death, who says they don't have a little bit of selfishness? The same is true, even if you want to die on your own initiative.

Qian Dazhu was young, and whenever he thought of the brothers who died here, he felt that leaving without fighting would be a betrayal of the brothers who had fought to the death and were buried abroad, so he did not want to leave.

Zhao Daqiang, on the other hand, had a series of battles and victories, and he had formed an illusion that he himself was not aware of. He felt that if I took action, I would be able to kill the Japanese corpses everywhere. As long as you dare to fight, you will be able to break the siege of Jinling.

Those Sichuan Army company commanders who followed him had their own reasons, but they still had the mentality of overconfident Zhao Daqiang.

Yes, this unexpected fainting made Tang Dao discover the shortcomings and problems in the independent camp that had not been exposed before.

First, the entire independent battalion relies too much on Tang Dao. When Tang Dao cannot provide advice, even a strong man like Lei Xiong cannot unify everyone's opinions. This is an extremely dangerous signal.

This time it's Jinling, what about another battlefield next time? The Japanese army is also extremely cruel. Will the lieutenants take advantage again?

Secondly, everyone should make the best use of everything and do what they are best at. For example, Zhuang Shisan, who was born in the Songjiang Security Group, has a good brain and good loyalty after being tested by war. However, his past experience and personality still limited his thinking, and he was unable to be an excellent field commander. .

Officials of one lower level such as Lao Hei and Gu Xishui can remain neutral, but as one of the giants, he is the center capable of decision-making. He must not treat this incident with such a prudent and protective attitude.

Of course, Zhuang Shisan also has strengths that no one can match. He is good at calculations and has sufficient talent in material management. His ability in logistics management is unparalleled in independent operations.

For an army, logistical supply is one of the important guarantees of combat effectiveness. Without logistical supply, no matter how powerful the army is, it will be difficult to sustain combat effectiveness.

For example, in that battle on the ice field, the Chinese warriors who were strong-willed enough to ambush themselves in the ice and snow at minus 40 degrees Celsius and turn themselves into ice sculptures could still only maintain their attack for seven days at most.

Because the rudimentary food and ammunition they carry can only guarantee a seven-day supply. Beyond this time, even if they are willing to persist, most of them will not die on the battlefield, but starve to death in the trenches.

Third, it was also the signal that made Tang Dao feel the crisis the most! There is a sense of self-righteous pride spreading among the middle and lower-ranking officers of the Independent Battalion, and even among the soldiers of the Independent Battalion.

That is the consequence of constant victory.

Originally, this is self-confidence. From the fear of the Japanese army at the beginning to the discovery that the Japanese army was mediocre, it would not be too difficult to defeat them without heavy artillery.

At the Mouse Mountain Blockade and the Battle of Laojin Pit, until a false shot scared away the main force of the Japanese army led by a Japanese major general, their full self-confidence continued to expand, but it turned into arrogance.

You know, arrogance can be a "stinky" thing!

If it weren't for the arrogance that gradually grew deep in their hearts, a group of passionate young officers would not have screamed and returned to Jinling to avenge the people.

The line between self-confidence and arrogance is actually very blurry. Not everyone can be a wise man, but self-confidence will not cross that line.

The mistake of breaking that boundary because of the self-confidence gradually accumulated through continuous victory is completely understandable, but cannot be easily forgiven.

They are commanders, and their confidence can increase the combat effectiveness of their subordinates, allowing them to exert one hundred and twenty percent of their original strength or even higher. However, arrogance will bring disaster to everyone.

As the supreme commander, Tang Dao must kill the signs of arrogance that are spreading throughout the independent camp before this disaster strikes.

The military is actually like the human body. In an emergency, all attention is focused on the battlefield, but some minor injuries and pains are ignored. But once the crisis is over, the side effects of these seemingly inconspicuous minor injuries and pains will become overwhelming. And it ended up killing people.

Fortunately, these problems were exposed during Tang Dao's coma, and Tang Dao still had enough time to change them one by one.

The first question is that Tang Dao doesn't have a good solution at present, or even if it does, Tang Dao doesn't plan to implement it for the time being. Before reaching that mountain and choosing to join that team, Tang Dao must firmly hold the general power in his hands and never allow a second voice to appear.

The second question is the shortest. Tang Dao is determined to no longer worry about the so-called factional relationships within the army during the next round of reorganization, and will use the talents of people, including deputy battalion officers like Zhuang Shisan. With his current attitude toward independence, The control of the battalion is already sufficient.

Only the third problem is more difficult. It is not one or two people, but a group of people or even most of the independent battalion officers and soldiers.

Simply, Tang Dao used the name of violating military discipline to give most of the company-level officers, including himself, a severe whipping to make everyone clear-headed.

The current independent battalion is not weak, but it is not strong enough for 2,000 people to challenge hundreds of thousands of Japanese, even if there is a huge hatred.

Of course, as the saying goes, it is better to kill the rabbit than to catch the grass. Tang Dao's move is not just for rectification within the independent camp.

Tang Dao knew how bad their marching formation was without even looking at the students formed by the proud men of heaven.

This is not to say how arrogant they are, but it is already doomed. Science requires sufficient independence rather than simple obedience. You cannot expect these elites to practice running when they are working hard to use their brains. I've trained myself to be strong and powerful.

The army and the school are not the same world.

But at a time like this, even if they are destined to become the most dazzling stars in the Chinese sky in the future, they must be obedient enough. This is a battlefield.

Before they can become the brightest stars, they first have to live.

Li Jijin himself defines himself as the chicken who kills chickens and scares monkeys. After all, it is too narrow-minded. His position as a Tang official is much bigger than him.

The entire Independence Camp is that chicken!

Battalion Commander Tang's fierce attack, which even left him bloody, not only successfully curbed the spread of arrogance among the officers and soldiers of the Independent Battalion, but also shocked a group of "monkeys" with ideals and ideas. Stunned for a moment.

Even though there are so many labels, if you want to challenge Commander Tang in the future, you have to think carefully about today.

Who would care about a certain colonel who was so cruel that he even beat himself up?

Anyway, starting from that night, the name of "Tang Devil Tou" spread like wildfire among a group of talented people.

However, Tang Dao still underestimated this group of elites.

The reason why some people here can succeed in their own fields in the future is because they have the courage to persist in themselves and never bow to any obstacles.

The "evil force" of Tang Dao, which is basically a combination of great principles and a whip, naturally falls into this category.

PS: Two chapters combined into one, a 5000-word chapter! In addition, I want to take a leave of absence for everyone. Due to the death of a relative, I will go back to my hometown with my parents tomorrow. I will probably be delayed in my hometown for a day. I don't have time to type and update. I'm sorry!
