Rise From Eight Hundred Chapter 834

Chapter 834 The destination of the four-team group

Tang Dao finally turned around and went to find Comrade Lao Song again.

He just suddenly remembered a key point that Comrade Lao Song said. If he wanted to receive the batch of silver, in addition to the warrants of Song and Zhang, he also needed the secret code held by Liu Ruming, another giant of the 29th Army.

Who is Liu Ruming? Although he ranks behind Song, Zhang, Feng and others in the 29th Army, he is a direct confidant of Lao Song. He has been the colonel commander under Comrade Lao Song since 15 years ago, and in 1936, he was Comrade Lao Song was promoted to Army Lieutenant General under the control of Comrade Lao Song. The relationship is much closer than that of a brother like Commander Zhang who can almost keep pace with Comrade Lao Song.

To put it bluntly, with two votes to one, the main right to use this batch of silver is actually in the hands of Comrade Lao Song. However, after he gave the warrant, he pretended to forget and asked his close subordinates for the code word. His mental state was probably a bit meaty. It hurts, artificially adding some obstacles to Tang Dao.

If Tang Dao shamelessly retrieved it, maybe the secret language matter would be solved, but it would be a failure.

What's more, Tang Dao is even sure that even if he goes back, that person will find an excuse not to see Tang Dao.

Then this matter can only fall on Commander Zhang. Tang Dao has no relationship with Commander Liu, so if he rashly sends a telegram, the chance of being scolded is probably more than 100%.

That is, when he thought that Commander Zhang was still fighting the Japanese army in the Huaihe River at this time, and if he went to cause trouble for him, he would be looking for trouble, Tang Dao couldn't help but feel depressed, and his good mood disappeared instantly.

As everyone knows, there are people talking about him in the small courtyard that Tang Dao just visited ten miles away.

“Commander, will Commander Tang come back to you again?” A soldier in a colonel's uniform carefully asked General Song, who was standing in the courtyard with his hands behind his hands.

“He is a smart man and will not come back. He also knows that he will never see me again if he comes back.” Admiral Song shook his head and answered his personal aide.

"Then, you are only giving the warrant to Commander Liu for the secret code to pick up the goods. You are just giving Commander Zhang face. In fact, you still want to leave some wealth for our 29th Army?" As the person closest to him, the Army Colonel naturally said bluntly out of curiosity. Not shy.

This is also the smartest thing about a secretary like this. He knows that his superiors are scheming outside a lot, and he is already very tired. If he continues to beat around the bush, he will be in the same position as those people, but will further distance himself from his superiors. Far.

"Haha! Dacheng, you have been with me for five or six years, right?" Admiral Song smiled slightly and did not answer directly, but asked about the time spent between the adjutant and himself.

"Yes, since you were ordered to form the 29th Army in the 21st year of the Republic of China, I have been following you." The colonel's adjutant was a little confused.

“Five or six years is not a short time!” General Song looked up at the starry sky and sighed slightly. "But you still don't understand me as well as Xin Chen, my biggest competitor!"

Seeing the fear on the colonel's adjutant's face, he waved his hand and said: "It's not that you are stupid, but I am afraid that the person who knows me, Song Zheyuan, best in the world is just this one person, but I still bear the responsibility for this one person." Losing him is one of the things I regret most in my life.”

After a pause, he continued to sigh: "He knows that I regard the troops under my command as my fate, and will never give up my desire for power unless it is absolutely necessary. I'm afraid you think so too. However, at this time, it is no longer a last resort, and the Japanese troops are at the forefront We are about to break through the front line of our Henan Province. If the Xuzhou War is defeated again, the Japanese army's frontline will be directed at several provinces in central China.

At that time, not to mention returning to North China, most of China may fall into the hands of the enemy.

By then, we Chinese will all become humiliated slaves of subjugation. No matter how intoxicating the beauty of power is, it will be nothing but a delusion.

What is the use of that money if I keep it far away? Xin Chen knows that I will definitely make up my mind. "

"Why?" The colonel's adjutant was even more puzzled.

Since the admiral and commander in front of him has decided to give away the wealth that he is destined to be unable to get, then why artificially add obstacles to Tang Dao? Isn't this a scolding?

"Hey, the 68th Army who transferred Liu Ziliang to Xuzhou just wanted to quietly separate our 29th Army! Maybe it won't take long before he will promote me to deputy commander of the theater and completely remove my command authority. , This kind of childish trick can't even be concealed from the little guy named Tang, why don't I know if he wakes me up secretly?" A sneer curled up at the corner of Admiral Song's mouth, but his eyes were full of helplessness.

What the principal used was not a conspiracy but an outright plan. The reason why he dared to use this trick was based on the fact that his first group army had suffered consecutive defeats. If his first group army had successive victories against Japan, who would then How can I cover the sky with one hand, but I don't dare to be so blatant.

To put it bluntly, it was still his fault that the First Army failed to live up to its expectations and gave its old rival an excuse.

The colonel's adjutant could only remain silent. This kind of contest between big guys was not something that a small adjutant like him could intervene in.

"But in this battle, I, Song Zheyuan, can't stand up to my fellow villagers in North China, not the 29th Army. It doesn't matter if I want to bring down Song Zheyuan, but the brothers of the 29th Army are not wrong. Zhao, Tong and tens of thousands of 29th Army The blood of military brothers is spilled on the battlefield, and their blood cannot be shed in vain. Someone must avenge them, and the 29th Army cannot just disperse." General Song was slightly excited, with a cold light in his eyes, and even more smiles on his lips. ridicule.

"Didn't he transfer Liu Ziliang's 68th Army to Xuzhou? Very good, Xin Chen's 59th Army is also in Xuzhou. He only knows that Xin Chen and I are already in the same situation. There is no way that the 59th Army and the 68th Army are connected. Little did he know that for the sake of his little brother and the country, Xin Chen was able to put aside all his personal grudges and let go of his past grudges with me.

Hehe, as long as Xin Chen and Zi Liang rely on each other on the battlefield, these two armies are both the old units of our 29th Army, but they have different numbers. That person's painstaking calculation is just a joke. "

“What does the commander mean?” The army colonel seemed to have grasped a certain key point.

"Once Xin Chen receives the telegram from Tang Dao, he will immediately contact Liu Ziliang and ask him for the secret code. Both of them are extremely smart people. There is no need for me to say more in them. I know my intentions and I only wish him to From now on, the troops have been helping each other and will not lose the reputation of the 29th Army in the **** battle against the Great Wall." General Song had a sense of accomplishment in his eyes.

It was an elite army he had built with his own hands. Although it had suffered successive defeats under the pressing pressure of the Japanese army and was already in a state of disintegration due to the deliberate actions of some people, he had once again joined forces with his former assistant to defeat them. Another way to Nirvana and rebirth.

This is a hero, even if he is a stranger, he can use every possibility to make a comeback, even at the cost of himself.

If Tang Dao could hear these words, he could only take a breath of cold air and be impressed again by the abilities of these people in troubled times, even if he has put them at a very high level.

The rut of history has proven that the 29th Army, which achieved great results at the Great Wall, has never declined. Even if the number does not exist, Zhang, Feng, and Liu under its command all played their own part in the entire Patriotic War. sky.

Needless to say, Commander Zhang was promoted from the Commander of the 59th Army to the Commander of the 33rd Group Army. During the Zaoyi Battle, he led 3,000 people to fight against two infantry regiments of the Japanese Army in the battle of Xianghe. He eventually died on the battlefield. His wife heard that her husband He died and went on a hunger strike for seven days. The couple was buried together at the foot of Meihua Mountain in the mountain city. Even the Japanese generals respected him as "a peerless general who died heroically in battle!" '

Praise from the devil is also praise!

Feng Zhi'an's 77th Army was promoted to deputy commander of the First Theater in the Song Dynasty. After the First Army was disbanded and reorganized, he was transferred to Xuzhou to participate in the famous Battle of Taierzhuang. It was later combined with the 59th Army to form the 33rd Army. After the death of Commander Zhang, it became the 33rd Army. Commander, until the end of the war, he still stayed in the western Hubei and Jiangbei areas and fought bravely without stopping.

Liu Ruming's 68th Army was ordered to garrison Xuzhou Chongcheng, which was the core city of the entire Xuzhou Battle. Fierce fighting was unavoidable. They held on for three months without retreating even half a step. Until the battle was coming to an end, most of the main force retreated, and the heavily damaged Japanese army was surrounded by heavy troops. Xuzhou tried to use the Xuzhou army to make up for the wounds, but the 68th Army came and attacked from the east and west. The entire army successfully withdrew from Xuzhou, leaving an empty city for the Japanese army, which also created a small miracle.

The name of the 29th Army has never fallen into the abyss just because the number was lost.

In this era, it was because of the unexpected intrusion of the little butterfly Tang Dao that the two people who were once incompatible with each other had personal contact. Tang Dao, who later learned the truth, thought about it carefully and realized that even without his appearance, the two people would definitely have a connection when the country was ruined and the family was destroyed.

Because they are all heroes of this era, and matters of life and death are indifferent, so what do some personal grudges mean?

Of course, what Erya was worried about would not happen. It only took one night for Tang Dao, who had reunited with the Si Xing Regiment, to send a telegram to Commander Zhang who was hundreds of kilometers away.

　　"Restore me to North China!" Four words were passed to Tang Dao.

The old headquarters of the 29th Army were reconnected an unknown amount of time earlier than expected because of Tang Dao, a bridge that should not have appeared.

The Battle of Taierzhuang, led by the Northwest Army Division, not only had the 67th Army, but also the 59th Army and the 77th Army that were bound to appear, totaling 100,000 troops, and they were closely connected. This was a change that even Tang Dao had not expected. And this is a devastating disaster for the fifth division of the Japanese "Steel Army", which is divided into two groups and is advancing vigorously, and the tenth division, which is known as Japan's first mechanized division.

In the past, just to deal with an infantry division of the Northwest Army that was stationed in Taierzhuang and the timid 20th Army Corps of the Central Army on the periphery, these two tough divisions that were cited as humerus by Shouichi Terauchi were beaten to the point of crying for their fathers and mothers, and they belonged to two groups respectively. The two strongest infantry brigades of the Master Regiment suffered more than 10,000 losses.

Even Tang Dao, the instigator, could not guess what kind of bad luck they would encounter this time.

But the only thing Tang Dao can be sure of is that as long as the attack is resolute enough, regardless of sacrifice, and the remnants of the Japanese army are not allowed to retreat to the county seat of Ze County, the combat effectiveness of the 67th Army and the 59th Army will be enough to kill them in the wilderness.

It's just that the Japanese army will not sit back and watch the two elite infantry brigades being destroyed. Infantry reinforcements may not be available in time, but air support is definitely indispensable.

The Japanese army's level of civil engineering work was enough for them to build a field fortification with huge destructive power within a few days. Even if the two infantry corps of 60,000 people finally succeeded, the casualties would be so heavy that it would be difficult to look directly at them.

But if so, what about adding an infantry corps? What about an infantry army that had retreated from North China, had lost ground and was already angry?

Don't use Tang Dao to guess the result. Even if one of the 100,000 people spits at the mouth, the less than 20,000 Japanese troops in the encirclement can be drunk to their full.

Of course, there is no need for Tang Dao to speculate or worry about this kind of war situation. He has done everything he can. The battle of Xuzhou also gathered the best commanders and generals that China could mobilize at this time. The massacre in Jinling also made Sixty Tens of thousands of troops share the same hatred against the enemy, and their morale has not decreased but increased compared to the Battle of Songhu.

Everything is not left to God's will, but to the courage of the Chinese soldiers in the whirlpool of war.

The courage to live towards death!

This is what they did in the past time and space.

This time, there is no reason not to do it again.

Tang Dao, who received the secret message, did not rush to order the four-line regiment to march.

Although the entire army of the Four Troops Regiment is still located 30 kilometers away from Xinxiang and still dozens of kilometers away from the front line, Tang Dao instinctively felt that the Japanese North China Front Army would not let him and the Four Troops Regiment go easily.

After all, old grudges have not yet been resolved, and new grudges have arisen. If it were him, he would never let it go easily.

Although the spy network inside and outside Zhengzhou has been wiped out, which is a good thing for the Secret March of the Four Lines Regiment, Tang Dao will never put his own safety in the hands of others, let alone hope that the Japanese spies will not Dare to covet him again.

The troops of the Fourth Army marched toward Xinxiang, which had gradually become the front line. This was actually an attempt to confuse the Japanese army, making them unable to figure out the march route of the Fourth Army.

Nowadays, it is not a big secret that the Four Lines Regiment is transporting supplies to the 23rd Army of the Sichuan Army in Jin Province. Passing through Xinxiang, the closest way to Jin Province is to take Hui County, cross Wang Mang's territory, and then enter the junction of Henan and Shanxi provinces. The vast Taihang Mountains.

Entering the Taihang Mountains, for the Japanese army, the mountains and forests were vast, and Jin Province was already a war zone. The Japanese army spent a lot of effort to occupy a few big cities, and they had no control over the mountains and fields. They wanted to deal with an equipment like the Si Xing Regiment. An infantry regiment with excellent combat performance and strong combat performance, the Japanese themselves would not dare to act rashly without dispatching an infantry brigade to intercept them front and rear.

In fact, their enemy is not just the Four Elements Group. There are too many Chinese active in that mountain.

In addition to the Jinsui Army, there is the Central Army and the Sichuan Army. There is also an opponent that gives even Itagaki Seishiro a headache, the 129th Division of the 18th Group Army.

The 129th Division has suffered a lot in the past few months from the 20th Division and the 109th Division that assist the 5th Division. In the battle of Niangziguan alone, hundreds of people from the 20th Division were killed in three ambush battles in Qigen Village. What made the Japanese blush the most was that the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division used exactly the same tactics at the same place, but succeeded continuously.

This is because the equipment of the 129th Division is too simple. It basically uses rifles and machine guns, and there is no artillery support at all. Otherwise, it is still unknown whether anyone from the baggage team and cavalry unit of the 20th Division can come out to report the news.

Facing the huge mountain in China that stretches for hundreds of kilometers and separates Jin Province from the North China Plain, the Japanese army themselves are actually a little timid. They do not have enough troops and will never enter easily again.

If you want to attack the Sihang Regiment, the best area is on the more than 100 kilometers of road before it enters the Taihang Mountains.

Tang Dao knew that the Japanese did not seem to have sent out a reconnaissance plane for reconnaissance. Maybe they were paralyzing him and were waiting for him to get out of Xinxiang.

At this time, the tens of thousands of troops of the First Army were involved in the main force of the Japanese 14th Division, but Tang Dao knew that the commander of the 14th Division, Dohi Marukenji, was definitely a sinister person. Seeing that his reputation was not as good as Itagaki Seishiro, he was ruthless. But his cunning is far beyond that, no wonder Lao Song has lost consecutive battles.

It is normal for the 14th Division to slow down its attack on the First Army and dedicate an infantry regiment or even a brigade to deal with the Fourth Army.

This is not like in the Guangde Mountains. The Fourth Army Regiment still has time to build fortifications that can withstand heavy artillery. Once surrounded by the Japanese army, a heavy artillery bombardment from aircraft in the sky will destroy even the most elite division.

Tang Dao must be used with extreme caution.

Therefore, starting from the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, the Four Troops must stay up day and night to prevent the Japanese army from taking advantage of them.

Furthermore, who said that Tang Dao was going to take the shortest road from Huixian County to Jin Province, and asked the whole regiment to transfer to Xinxiang? First of all, Tang Dao wanted to deliver a message to Lao Song. The most important purpose was tactical deception.

Tang Dao had no intention of taking this road from the beginning, although his destination was already set, which was to be promoted to a high official to govern the county.

There were both the 23rd Army Group and the 129th Division there. More importantly, Tang Dao had spotted a location that could be used as a military industrial base for the Four Lines Regiment.

If we manage it well, we will continuously provide arms and weapons to the Four Corps and even all the anti-Japanese armies.

Under the guidance of such tactical thinking, the entire Si Xing Regiment disappeared from the sight of the Japanese command headquarters that was silently paying attention to them.

During the day, the entire army of the Sixth Formation Regiment hid in the forest on the hillside for repairs. Whether it was carts, horses, or people, they were all camouflaged with branches and leaves. The entire regiment was strictly prohibited from lighting open fires. At noon, they ate cold meals from the day before. At night, they marched again .

Although it is more difficult and the speed will be slower, the Japanese cannot find them, even if they start to send fighter planes to conduct reconnaissance of the areas where the Four Lines Regiment may pass.

Facts have proved that Tang Dao guessed correctly again.

The Japanese were not only thinking about him, they were even anxious because of the disappearance of the Four Troops. Even if it started to rain lightly, there were still reconnaissance planes flying in the sky.

However, due to the lesson learned on New Year's Eve, the Japanese have also learned to be smart. Fighters are basically at an altitude of a thousand meters and do not dare to lower their altitude at all.

Those who can see the four-line group hidden in the grass in the forest after being disguised are the ones who have seen a ghost.
