Rise From Eight Hundred Chapter 831

Chapter 831 Eyes like copper bells!

Whether he was really shocked by this person or not, Tang Dao had a look of fear on his face.

Everyone likes real people, but sometimes being too real can actually be harmful to people.

For example, an army general said to a young army colonel: "I thank you!", but the army colonel accepted it very calmly.

You taste it, you taste it carefully! What was originally a sincere thank you might turn into annoyance in the blink of an eye.

“Sir, I don't dare, Tang Dao is just serving as Commander Zhang's messenger!” Tang Dao quickly stood upright.

"Haha! You don't have to be humble. If it weren't for you as the messenger, there would be no such letter!" General Song smiled slightly and waved his hand to indicate that Tang Dao didn't need to be humble.

He walked around the room for a few steps with his hands behind his back, looking out the window at the dusk. A slightly deep voice came, "Captain Tang, since you and Xin Chen hit it off right away, I guess you should also have the quarrel between Xin Chen and I because of the Yanjing Incident." Know it!”

"I heard something from Brother Zhang about this. He was always very excited when he talked about this matter. But I don't know the inside story and can't make a judgment on it!" Tang Dao replied.

This is also because Tang Dao saved face for this person. In fact, he knew that this person was an extremely complicated figure in history.

He was a patriotic general. In March 1933, he led the 29th Army in a **** battle with the Japanese army at Xifengkou of the Great Wall. While winning the victory at Xifengkou, he also blocked the Japanese Eighth Division from the Great Wall. In the following years, he worked hard to manage the 29th Army. He also refused to be courted by the Japanese several times and maintained a Chinese integrity.

But at the same time, he was also a deep-rooted warlord. What he did in Pingjin was half forced by the Japanese, and half still hoped to establish an independent kingdom and establish a military separatist regime.

The reason why he was defeated in Pingjin in the end but still trapped his long-time brothers in injustice was because of the selfish idea of trying to make a comeback. In fact, no one saw this more clearly than the principal.

The principal reused Zhang Zhizhong, who was once the "No. 1 man in North China", but Feng Zhian, Liu Ruming and others transferred him away from the front line of command. It was also because of this that Zhang's 59th Army ended up in LY regardless of casualties and casualties. The Japanese army won a great victory in a **** battle. Feng and Liu also performed outstandingly in the Xuzhou battle, which also showed the vision of the principal.

However, human beings have always been two-sided or even multi-faceted. For Tang Dao, it was enough that the once-prominent warlord in front of him had never had the intention of surrendering to the Japanese.

As Brother Zhang said, as long as we are on the front line of the Anti-Japanese War, we are not just brothers, but also comrades-in-arms! There is no need to seize some of the darkness of human nature and pursue it fiercely.

"You are young and mature. You are worried about my identity and don't stand up for your elder brother!" Song Zheyuan's voice came faintly. "However, your brother Zhang was not so polite. He wrote me a mere two hundred words on a page, but he cursed me for more than a hundred words."

Tang Dao's face was slightly stern, and he admired Brother Zhang who had already joined the battle on the Huaihe defense line.

As the saying goes, "There is nothing more sad than a heartbroken heart." If you are extremely disappointed with a person, you just ignore him and treat him like air.

But if it is scolding, there is still hope.

For Commander Zhang, who was deceived and almost killed himself, it was naturally because of the country and the nation that he was willing to let go of such personal grudges. This not only requires a broad mind, but also great wisdom.

However, if we think about the time and space in the past, Commander Zhang, who had been promoted to the commander of the group army after his death due to illness, still cried and wrote an elegiac couplet to express his condolences. So now he has written this letter to ease the relationship between the two. The relationship between them is not surprising.

"With your intelligence, Captain Tang, you can naturally imagine that this is Xin Chen's understanding of me, Mr. Song. I really didn't expect it!" Admiral Song continued to sigh. "In order to make a comeback, I wanted to preserve my reputation. When Xin Chen was despised by the people across the country, I did not defend him. Whenever I think about it afterwards, I regret it endlessly. But the deed has been done, and I never thought about it. Please forgive me!"

Although he couldn't see the expression on the army general's face, Tang Dao could still imagine the joy on his face.

He is a hero. Even if a hero knows that he has done something wrong and even dares to admit that he is wrong in front of Tang Dao, the leader of the small group, he will not regret it. Just like when he faced the principal's recruitment and refused to leave the Northwest Army and fall into that man's arms, even though he knew that it was actually the general trend.

However, no matter how hard he doesn't regret it, he is still very happy to be forgiven by his brothers who have been together for many years!

"However, what surprises me even more is that the last hundred words of Xin Chen are all about you." Admiral Song turned his head with joy and looked at Tang Dao. "Do you know what Xin Chen's evaluation of you is?"

“Jl is not a thing in the pond, it will turn into a dragon when it encounters the storm!”

Tang Dao had a headache. What he said was too scary. If he hadn't known the elder brother's character, he would have thought it was a compliment!

He is just a small regiment leader now, commanding less than 3,000 people. In this era when hundreds of thousands of troops are at war at every turn, he is a complete insignificant person.

"Haha, you, Tang Dao, are the first person to be rated like this by Xun Chen! You know, even at Xifengkou, Zhao Dengyu personally led two thousand elite soldiers to attack the Japanese positions at night and chopped off the heads of the Japanese soldiers. He only got the reputation of 'Tiger General' from Xin Chen!" Speaking of Zhao Dengyu's name, a hint of pain appeared in the eyes of Xiong Xiong, whose face was originally full of joy.

In the defeat of North China, not only did he lose the city and land, but the 29th Army he had worked so hard to build also suffered heavy losses. His important general Tong Lingge died in the battle, Zhao Deng died in the battle, Zhang Zhizhong left, and less than half of the 100,000-strong army was against him. It has something to do with the fact that the Japanese made frequent changes before the war and were not too vigilant.

Had he been more vigilant about the Japanese ambitions, even if the Japanese troops were already superior to his, the North China War would not have been completely defeated in just half a month.

This may be the only thing this hero regrets.

“Brother Zhang is benevolent and righteous, and he will not hesitate to praise this little brother like me!” Tang Dao quickly modestly said.

"Don't be too impatient to be humble. This is one of the reasons why I'm grateful to you. I know Xingchen's personality best. He is generous, kind and knowledgeable, but he is the most committed person in his life. What I did really hurt my heart. If he hadn't been eager to recommend you to me, I'm afraid it would have been many years before this scolding letter was delivered to me." Admiral Song regained his composure, smiled faintly, and waved his hands.

"And I have heard about your achievements. The Four Elements Battle may have been supported by a spirit of bravery, but the Guangde Battle was a classic. It lured the enemy deep and attacked eastward and west, and surrounded and annihilated the enemy with superior force. The troops of the 29th Army were beaten to the point where the troops of Itagaki Seishiro's 5th Division were howling like ghosts and wolves, which really made our 29th Army feel bad. This is my second thank you. "

"Come on, let me stop talking about how your brother Zhang recommended you to me. Based on your understanding of your brother Zhang, what do you think he would say?" Admiral Song should be in a relaxed mood at this time, but he changed his mind. The previous depression made Tang Dao guess what was written in the letter.

Tang Dao did not dare to be careless. Among these figures who could stir up troubles in troubled times, whether it was Admiral Cheng whom he met earlier or Comrade Wu who seemed to be the most heroic, none of them were simple figures, seemingly inadvertently. When you ask questions, there are actually holes in them.

With his mind spinning, Tang Dao first rejected the previous idea of letting the Four Lines Regiment join the First Army. The First Army was at a complete disadvantage in fighting against Japan. Even if there was a general-level commander protecting him, he would not be able to join the Four Lines Regiment. There is no point in saying it. Commander Zhang is a generous man, but he is by no means a simple-minded person. Naturally, he will not easily push his newly recognized younger brother into the fire pit.

Secondly, the continuous losses on the front line have caused the general commander to slip towards the edge of the abyss. This has already been revealed. Liu Ruming's Sixty-eighth Army was ordered to transfer to Xuzhou. Perhaps not only the general commander Knowing in his heart led to depression, and others in the army knew it too.

This is indeed the case. Three months later, the general commander was appointed as the deputy commander-in-chief of the first theater area, completely losing command of the front-line troops.

It is unrealistic for Tang Dao to get substantial help from the now exhausted commander-in-chief.

There is only one possibility. Commander Zhang thought that he would rush to the front line of North China. He had been deeply rooted in Pingjin for several years and had complicated relationships. Even if he was forced to leave, he would definitely have left a lot of resources to help him. "Brother Zhang probably hopes that Commander Song, you still staying in Pingjin will be helpful to our Four Lines Regiment's northern battle!" Tang Dao replied.

"Haha, good guy! No wonder your brother Zhang praised you so much in the letter. He is really quick in thinking and knows your brother Zhang's thoughts very clearly." General Song couldn't help laughing.

"However, your Brother Zhang knows you well enough. He specifically told me that there is no need to sell it, saying that you can definitely guess it. But I don't believe it. I have to give it a try. If you can't guess it, it means that your Brother Zhang doesn't care about you." My understanding is one-sided. Even if the resources I left in Pingjin are ruined, they will not be given away easily. "

The smile faded slightly, and he said seriously: "Fortunately, you didn't let your brother Zhang make mistakes."

Tang Dao was a bit dumbfounded. Whether he would give him those resources or not all depended on his single-minded determination. There were so many twists and turns.

The bottom line of the real logic is that he is a little reluctant to give up!

Thinking about it, he has fallen from being the first person in North China occupying three provinces to his current situation. At the last moment, he will easily hand over the capital for his comeback to others and replace it with Tang Dao himself. After asking himself, it is difficult to do so. Come on!

"Haha, Tang Dao, I know what's going on in your heart. You just think I'm reluctant to give up." Looking at Tang Dao, General Song said with some self-deprecation. "Of course there's nothing wrong with you thinking that way. How can I, Song Zheyuan, have worked so hard to build the foundation that I, Song Zheyuan, can give away to others so easily? Even if Xing Chen takes the initiative to give up the personal grudge between me and him, it won't work."

"But, Xin Chen said that if we want to regain North China, you, Tang Dao, are the first choice. I want to ask you, you currently only have 3,000 soldiers, what are you capable of?" General Song's eyes flashed with cold light. , staring closely at Tang Dao.

This is a general who has commanded more than 100,000 troops. When he suddenly became serious, there was an inexplicable invisible pressure on him.

Perhaps this is the second level of test in the legend! Commander Zhang is wearing his hat higher and higher, and the liberation of North China has already been done. Tang Dao is now considered to have too many lice and is not afraid of being bitten. Anyway, it is pulled. Even if it is wrong, this man can't do anything for Commander Zhang's sake. Sample.

As for the little foundation he had left in Pingjin, it was just a lurking intelligence agency. It might be more convenient for Tang Dao to transport equipment to the concession in Jincheng in the future. Tang Dao really didn't care too much.

"I haven't really thought about recovering North China, but Tang Dao has some ideas about how the Japanese army will fight in North China." Tang Dao thought for a while and replied in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

"The Japanese army is in North China at this time. In order to quickly occupy the entire territory of China, they have invested a total of more than 300,000 troops. The Japanese army has artillery and aircraft to assist them. If they want to fight these 300,000 Japanese troops, let alone take the initiative to attack, they will defend at all levels. , our army also has to invest nearly one million troops.

Therefore, it is almost impossible to fight with large armies in North China. But the whole of North China is vast and crisscrossed by mountainous areas. The Japanese army, let alone 300,000, even one million, would not be able to control the entire territory of North China. If they want to strengthen control, they must cultivate Ergouzi, but Ergouzi has that fighting ability. , don't mention it.

This is an opportunity for our army to let the Japanese occupy major cities. Our army is active in the vast countryside. If the Japanese pursue us, we can also encircle the enemy. "

“You mean to carry out small-scale guerrilla warfare?” General Song's eyes flashed.

It's not like he has never heard this statement before, mainly from that army. However, a general like him who is used to leading large armies and relying on military strength is not too interested in such inconsequential small-scale operations. In fact, the number of enemy kills is limited, and it is not very helpful in restoring control of the city.

"It's a guerrilla war and an assault war!" Tang Dao was confident. He walked directly to the map spread out on the square table and pointed at the highlighted map.

“A city is a gathering place for industry and commerce, but it cannot produce food. Food needs to be transported in, and industrial materials need to be transported out. To put it bluntly, the city looks bright and beautiful, but it is just a department store surrounded by walls.”

"Transportation lines? In the future, your combat mode in North China will be to destroy communication lines?" General Song's expression changed slightly.

This man joined the army 30 years ago and graduated from the Beiyang Army's military preparation school. After graduation, he served in Feng Yuxiang's department. He successively served as a sentry commander, company commander, battalion commander, regiment commander and other grassroots military positions. He finally reached a high position and had a rich military career. , Tang Dao's intention was instantly understood without Tang Dao's explanation.

"No, maybe you can use the traffic lines as bait to attract Japanese troops to continuously enter the mountains to kill your troops, and then concentrate your forces to annihilate them!" Admiral Song's eyes showed a look of shock. "It's just that this is also a test for your troops. You need strong eyes and ears to help you detect the movements of the Japanese army. Otherwise, doing this while surrounded by Japanese troops is just taking grain from the fire. One careless move can lead to the annihilation of the entire army. ”

“Song sir, please rest assured that North China will always belong to the Chinese.” Tang Dao replied proudly and confidently.

Unless the Japanese have the ability to kill all the Chinese, what General Song is worried about will not exist.

Whether it is tunnel warfare or mine warfare, neither the military can accomplish it alone, but ordinary people have to participate fully.

And if the Japanese use massacre to shock them, it will only encourage all the people to join the army. This has been proven by history.

Whether it is Japan in China, or the beautiful country in the jungles of southwest China, or the barren mountainous areas of Central Asia, once all the people are in arms, they will only end in failure.

“If you are like a blood-sucking insect, relying on the threat of cutting off traffic lines and constantly sucking the blood of the Japanese, won't this battle take a long, long time?” Admiral Song's eyes flashed with deep sadness.

This is not what he wants. Not only will the country's power and people's livelihood be greatly consumed, but his dream of returning to Pingjin one day will also be shattered.

"There is a huge difference in national power between China and Japan. To deal with such a country, the only way to deal with such a country is to fight for a long time, with constant resistance on the frontal battlefield and constant harassment on the battlefield behind enemy lines, making it difficult to look at both ends. Every time one more person is killed and one more bullet is consumed, it will be a loss. It is to put a brick on the economy of Japan's main island until it is crushed." Tang Dao replied sternly.

"Okay! It's rare to have such ambition!" General Song looked at Tang Dao for a long time, and finally a smile appeared on his serious face. "Although I don't believe that you can use this method to regain North China, it is still my wish to continue to add salt to the **** wounds of the Japanese army."

　　“Then I will believe in Xun Chen for once!”

After saying that, he walked back to the small square table, took out a piece of paper, wrote a line of words with his own hand, took out a seal from a leather bag below, stamped it and signed it, and handed it to Tang Dao: "As long as you have the courage to enter Tianjin Cheng, if you have the ability to transport this out, this silver belongs to you, Tang Dao."

Tang Dao was slightly startled and looked at the paper.

Eyes suddenly opened wide!

The stare was as big as a bell!

This is a rare gaffe in Tang Daolai's era.

In fact, the number written on the paper is too shocking.

PS: I was still sleeping in this morning, and all kinds of messages were pouring into my mobile phone. When I woke up, I just said hello! Why don't we go have a nice meal tonight? Come on, come on, let's all grab the wine glasses together tonight!
