Rise From Eight Hundred Chapter 875

But obviously, Major Xiao Ding still doesn't quite understand his old superior and leader!

Holding a cigarette in his left hand, with his right hand on his waist, the man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, smoking in his mouth, looked into the distance with a 'golden light' in his eyes!

This man named Tang is here to deliver equipment to the 22nd Army and the 47th Army? A group! How many guns and bullets can it carry? Bai Gouzi, he is indeed a rich man!

I joined the army because I wanted to fight against the local tyrants and divide the land!

The thick-browed and big-eyed man will fight against the boss and subordinates only for cigarettes, wine, tea and the like. He is not so restrained against the 'local tycoons'. If he is an enemy, he usually wants things as well as his life.

Tang Dao, who was dozens of miles away, felt an inexplicable cold on his back!

The image of Li Youbing in "The Sword" can't help but come to mind. He is a thief with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a bad temper like a stone in a latrine, but he is as cunning as an old fox and a shameless thief.

Good guy, it turns out that the screenwriter didn't make it up. Lao Wang is probably thinking about himself! Tang Dao made a special effort to show off to that master, and he basically came to a conclusion.

February 17, 1938!

The Battle of Dongyangguan, which broke out 28 miles east of Licheng, ended with the retreat of the 47th Army under the 22nd Group Army!

In this battle, China participated in an infantry division under the 22nd Group Army 47, and most of the infantry regiments under the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division, with a total strength of 12,000 people. The Japanese side invested two infantry regiments under the 108th Division plus attached artillery. A total of nine thousand people including engineers, engineers, and baggage troops.

In order to compete for this most important pass leading to Licheng County, the Japanese army invested almost as much force as the Chinese, especially when the main force of the Chinese was an infantry division of the Sichuan Army with poor equipment. In the past, this was absolutely extremely rare.

In fact, the Japanese army in North China paid enough attention to it, which was also the main factor that enabled them to win this battle.

Although this infantry division under the 47th Army had almost no heavy weapons, it had an extremely firm will to fight. It built three fortifications based on the difficult terrain. With the cooperation and containment of friendly forces, it fought **** battles with the Japanese army equipped with aircraft and artillery for nearly three days. As the defenders, they suffered more than 2,000 casualties and still persisted.

Even while holding on, they would send elite units to conduct sneak attacks on the Japanese army, such as an infantry platoon under the division. Because the Japanese army occupied the high point Beiding Mountain on the morning of the 17th, they set up infantry artillery on the top of the mountain to target them. The Sichuan Army's positions were bombarded indiscriminately, causing heavy casualties. The infantry platoon leader who was the closest position to the top of the mountain and was ordered to retreat resolutely led his only 30 soldiers to counterattack the top of the mountain.

The Japanese army, with abundant troops, was extremely cautious about artillery protection. There were more than 2 infantry squadrons of Japanese infantry establishing a defense line on the top of the mountain.

Obviously, the impact of 30 Chinese soldiers on the defense line was like moths flying into the flame!

But they did it anyway, without hesitation.

Because of the appearance of this small infantry platoon, the Japanese artillery position on the top of the mountain was in panic, and the bombardment was suspended for more than half an hour.

This infantry platoon will wipe out the entire army!

The Japanese army was so angry that they cut off the heads of the sacrificed Chinese soldiers with bayonets and hung them on the trees!

In the sight of the officers and soldiers at Dongyangguan, hundreds of meters away, blood dyed the white grass on the hillside red, the torn cotton coats, cotton wool were flying everywhere, and the hooded straw sandals were hanging among the thorns on the hillside. The tragic scene was heart-wrenching. Can't bear to see it.

“Fight to the bitter end!” The roars from the Dongyangguan position can still be vaguely heard decades later by people standing at the ruins of the war.

It was later rumored that the 47th Army headquarters had originally ordered the division to retreat after completing its task of blocking the enemy. However, the commander of the division, who had witnessed the brutality of the Japanese army, refused to retreat until one day later, when the division ran out of ammunition and had no choice but to withdraw from the position.

Because of these 30 infantrymen, the Japanese army had to pay at least 200 more casualties, which was not worth the loss.

In the end, the total casualties of the Japanese army exceeded 1,000!

In the battle report sent to the North China Front Army Headquarters after the war, the 108th Division was not overjoyed because it had occupied Dongyangguan, an important road.

Because at Dongyang Pass after the war, the Japanese army spent three full days and nights just burning corpses, which was longer than the days they spent on the battlefield.

In addition, two of the three infantry squadrons used for "surprise attacks" behind enemy lines returned without success, and found nothing except burning down a few deserted mountain villages. Another one disappeared without a trace, and a large number of traitors were sent into the mountains to search for them. After asking around, there was no valuable information, and many traitors were exposed and became 'missing persons'!

This battle, apart from consolidating the security of Licheng County, which had been designated as an important supply point in the southeastern Shanxi battlefield, the Japanese army did not achieve the strategic outcome they wanted.

Originally, the 108th Division wanted to kill the Sichuan Army Infantry Division in one fell swoop to severely damage the Chinese army in southeast Shanxi. However, obviously, the 1-for-2 battle loss shattered his expectations.

Both the Chinese and Japanese armies have retreated to their current positions, like two giant beasts that have been injured in a fight. After a brief period of licking their wounds and repairing them, they will fight fiercely again at a certain period of time.

This is a fact that both the Chinese and Japanese armies are aware of. One is very clear that if the invaders are not driven away, future generations will not have a good life; the other is even more aware that if the resisters are not killed, the company will be on guard day and night. I can't even sleep well, so what's the point of occupying the land for a ball?

In plain language, either you die or I die, one of them has to be killed!

Tang Dao finally met the current top commander of that unit in Licheng, Comrade Lao Wang, on the day after the battle.

Lao Wang, whose eyes had been shining with golden light for several days, also saw his friendly army Colonel Tang, who had been dried out for four days and was almost turned into dried meat.

Standing at the entrance to the village where the 772nd Regiment Headquarters was stationed, Lao Wang saw Tang Dao following Zhu Sanhei almost at the first sight.

　　No one knows what he was feeling at that time. Perhaps we can get a glimpse of it from a few words in the boss's later memoirs.

In his life, Lao Wang, from a soldier to a squad leader, a platoon leader, and finally to a military commander and even a deputy commander of a military region, he has no idea how many soldiers he has led. He can be called a "man" with countless reviews. In addition, good looks do not mean justice. In the 1990s, Lao Wang was like most Chinese people. Those who were ugly were called ordinary, those who were handsome were called pretty boys, and those who were ordinary were still ordinary.

Prosopagnosia, perhaps this is the case.

But today, Jubi is an exception, especially for Comrade Lao Wang.

In the early spring of 1938, when Lao Wang first saw what he thought was a "landlord and old fortune", whether he believed it or not, his big eyes stared at Tang Dao several times.

　In the original words of his memoirs: The rich man named Tang really had his own unique temperament, and he was very good at first glance!

'This shameless guy just wants to rob! Everyone looks like a rich man! ' After Tang Dao, who had also entered old age, saw this sentence in the sample book sent by his secretary, he rolled his eyes and added this comment!

'His eyes are like stars and bright moon, which is a bit unpredictable! ' Old Tang Dao's pen left a note under this sentence: “This sentence is very short, but with Comrade Lao Wang's own level, it is mostly polished by others!”

The bright moon in Tantai is smiling!

　　'He has a neat military uniform and a tall figure. He looks like a good young man at first sight! Just his long arms, used to assassinate the Japanese, are definitely worth two! However, I should be able to support three of them! '

Tang Dao here responded with. It's okay to praise others so freely, but also praise yourself by the way?

Perhaps this is the real Comrade Lao Wang!

Anyway, judging from the description of Mr. Tang in Comrade Lao Wang's not particularly true memoirs, Rich Man Tang perfectly stepped on Comrade Lao Wang's aesthetic point, not to mention anything else, just because of his 1.8 meter tall body , and those big long arms.

As for saying that his eyes are as bright as the stars and the bright moon, I guess it was the work of Comrade Lao Wang, the second eldest grandson, so Tang Dao believed it for the time being.

From Tang Dao's perspective, the thick-browed and big-eyed man who stood at the entrance of the village to greet him, with his burly body, was truly a fierce man who could do it with a big blade at the slightest disagreement.

That is, Comrade Lao Wang, who had been ignoring a certain group for four days, was a little too enthusiastic at this time.

It's not enough to go too far! General Li Jiayu, the commander of the 47th Army who didn't know Comrade Lao Wang very well, wanted to prove it to Tang Dao, but he told Lao Wang clearly that Tang Dao and the Sixings Regiment had gone through great hardships to carry the equipment of an integrated infantry regiment thousands of miles away. When coming to Jindong, please ask friendly troops to ensure their safety, and you will be greatly thanked afterwards! According to the confirmation of Battalion Commander Xiao Ding who was present, at that time, Comrade Lao Wang's tears flowed out of the corners of his mouth, and he patted his chest and promised to the supreme commander of the friendly forces that all the brothers in the Fourth Line Regiment would be sent to the 47th Army intact.

Attention, Comrade Lao Wang ensures that people are intact, not the goods being transported! Comrade Lao Wang can guarantee that he never said it.

The 'teacher' said, treat your enemies as ruthlessly as the cold winter, and treat your friends as warm as the spring!

So, the courtesy Tang Tuanzu received at this time was so warm, so warm that he almost forgot the fact that he had been left to dry for four days.

However, when the two pairs of big hands were tightly clasped together, and a member of the group felt the huge force pouring into his palms, he realized that this head-aching general was more difficult to deal with than he had imagined.

Wanting to get a share of the pie that has been designated for this station cannot be solved by sending some weapons and equipment. Not only does he have a big appetite, but he also doesn't have much favorable impressions of his own military department.

This is normal when you think about it. Among the officers standing here, who were the generals who were not related to the Sichuan Army a few years ago, fought to death? Being able to stand together and laugh and talk now has nothing to do with God. I can only say that the Japanese came at a very clever time.

The 'brothers are fighting against each other' haven't even divided up the property yet! As a result, a group of pirates came, and the two brothers who were fighting had to kill the pirates first with rakes and hatchets!

"Captain Tang, I have heard of your name a long time ago." Comrade Lao Wang was very enthusiastic, but his polite opening was rather stiff.

　　It makes me feel very excited as soon as I hear it!

Tang Dao is indeed a moderate celebrity now, but that was in a plain town where information was relatively developed. In the Taihang Mountains, a mountain where birds don't even lose their hair after flying over them, who has heard of his name?

Let alone Tang Dao, I guess the Four Elements Group and these 'mountain turtles' don't even know about it.

This is not just talking about the 129th Division that entered the Taihang Mountains in September, but also the 22nd Army that rushed all the way from northern Sichuan to eastern Shanxi.

I can see the newspapers from a month ago, and they are all treated like division commander-level officers. What's more, as early as November, a large area of the northern land has been reduced. Even if Tang Chui is there, the northern newspapers cannot report on Tang Dao and the Four Elements Group. The fruitful results!

In other words, Comrade Lao Wang was a compliment that was neither heartfelt nor heartfelt. Not to mention that Tang Dao recognized it, and the weird faces of several officers of the 772nd Regiment around him betrayed him completely.

They knew, however, that the more unscrupulous he promoted the virtues of his deputy regiment, the more he tried to trick him. As soon as the leaders of the 769th, 770th, and 771th regiments heard him start to praise him blindly, they immediately Sayazi left, even offering a cigarette could not stop her.

This is, I am thinking about our guests! The excited little eyes of the several officers looking at each other were simply unobstructed.

In fact, they have too much confidence in their deputy leader!

The 386th Brigade, no, the entire 129th Division may be better than this 'fierce general' in terms of fighting. For example, their Brigadier Chen, whose reputation for both wisdom and bravery is recognized by the entire 18th Army, is also like the 769th Regiment. Commander Chen, who was only 23 years old, served as the commander of the four main regiments of the 129th Division. The night attack on Yangmingbao shocked the entire northern battlefield!

But if it comes to the ability to fight against the autumn wind and dig out corners with a small hoe, to use the words of the two leaders of the 129th Division, no one in the entire 129th Division can surpass them!

Because of his presence, the 772nd Regiment obtained much more ammunition supplies from the division headquarters than other regiments.

Of course, it was also because the 772 regiment was fighting for its success. In the two battles at Qigen Village, more than 400 Japanese troops were killed. The food supplies seized were enough for the entire 129th Division to have a good year. Just being thick-skinned and cheating is not a skill. Being able to fight plus plus Being able to fool someone is definitely a great skill.

if not? Do you think anyone who goes to the brigade headquarters can accept Brigadier Chen's cigarettes, wine, and tea? Comrade Lao Wang is the only one in the entire division.

"Captain Wang, I appreciate your politeness, but I really want to say that the names of you and the 772nd Regiment are really important to me, Mr. Tang, whether it is the battle of Niangziguan or the inability to use troops. The battle of Qi Gen Village will be restored!" Tang Dao responded to this polite person with a smile on his face and serious eyes.

"Some people say that the victory of this battle was the result of your division Commander Liu's extreme application of Sun Tzu's Art of War and Brigadier Chen's personal frontline command. But I think that the two commanders are certainly amazing. You and the officers and soldiers of the 772nd Regiment Fighting bravely is the basis for victory in this battle. This is like fighting in the ring. No matter how sharp and intelligent your mind is, no matter how quick your reaction is, if you don't have a good body as the basis, you can only be rubbed on the ground. You and the 772nd Group are like this. Our Chinese army is one of the best on the northern battlefield!”

Comrade Lao Wang

Officers of the 772nd Regiment

Comparing to Comrade Lao Wang's polite compliment just now, Tang Tuanzuo's "courtesy" is no longer at the level of being careless. It is completely because I know your strengths and weaknesses, and also know your depth!

Moreover, Tang Tuanzuo boasted very well. He praised all the officers and soldiers of the 772nd Regiment to the G-point. He said that they were one of the strongest in the entire northern battlefield. Who would dare to disagree with this evaluation?

Who dares to say that Comrade Lao Wang was the first to get angry with them!

More importantly, what Tang Dao said was true. He knew even better than the people involved in this infantry regiment how awesome they were.

The predecessor of the 772th Regiment was originally the heroic unit of the 18th Army. In the future, it will become an iron army. How many troops can participate in the battle of the "Five Sacred Mountains" in the Northern Icefield and win?

They are one of them!

Such a troop and such a commander, they certainly deserve such praise!

This boy is a difficult master to deal with! It may not be that easy to pluck the hair out of his body! Lao Wang reacted instantly.

Based on his life experience, praising people is a technical job. Being able to praise people like this is a manifestation of ability. A guy like this is actually the target of his harvest.

How can this be fixed?

But who is Lao Wang? He is the "Crazy Wang" who almost killed several officers of the same rank and also made the enemy frightened. His motto in life is: as long as you play well with your hoe, there is no corner that cannot be dug down! If the machete dances fast, the enemy's head will be a piece of food!

"Aha! I'm so ashamed, so ashamed!" Comrade Lao Wang rubbed his head shyly, "We who are in such a poor and remote place can't receive any battle reports about the battles between Commander Tang and your department. Lao Wang, I'm stupid and can't tell you anything even if I want to add fuel to the fire. But I think Commander Tang is definitely a strong soldier among strong soldiers. Your troops are not bad at all, they are all good guys who kill Japanese soldiers!"

Show the enemy weakness first. Only by taking your fist back can you hit it out better and more powerfully! Comrade Lao Wang is well aware of the tactics of his immediate boss.

“Well, our regiment is not bad, we just killed a few thousand little devils!” Tang Dao nodded and accepted the praise from his friendly troops.

He has been waiting for this sentence for a long time!

Lao Wang's big eyes were frozen!

This guy who is also in good shape seemed to smell a familiar scent to him!

Seeing Lao Wang in a daze, Tang Dao grinned!

“Haha! Commander Tang turns out to be such an interesting person. When we, Brigadier Chen, see him, he will definitely like someone like you!” Lao Wang reacted instantly and laughed.

The officers of the 772nd Regiment collectively pretended not to hear.

They don't dare to say that the chief is interesting like this one!

“Oh! I'm looking forward to that!”

The hands of Tang Dao and Comrade Lao Wang are clenched again! Release quickly.

Otherwise, there is no guarantee that Comrade Lao Wang would have the urge to pinch off the little fox's hand of his friendly army!

The first time we met, Xiao Tang VS Xiao Wang, half a pound to half a pound, but their temperaments were well matched.

One is not shameless, and the other is the same!
