Rise From Eight Hundred Chapter 941

Chapter 941: Male Silver's Intuition!

Tang Dao's eyes were finally attracted by the list of trophies in his hand.

Although he had already expected it, he was still a little surprised.

It can only be said that he underestimated the 108th Division, a second-line division. This special division, which did not get much attention, was so wealthy.

Just the spoils captured in the Battle of Beiganling from these more than 1,500 Japanese troops were enough to arm an infantry regiment.

List of seizures in the Battle of Beiganling: 1. 960 Type 38 rifles; 2. 480 Southern Type 14 pistols; 3. 34 Type 96 light machine guns; 4. 34 Type 89 grenades; 5. 9 Type 92 heavy machine guns; 6. 3 Type 94 37mm anti-tank guns; 7. 2 Type 94 90mm mortars; 8. 6 Type 92 70mm infantry guns; 9. 41 3 Type 75mm mountain guns; 10. 2 Type 89 medium tanks (scrapped wreckage); 11. 10 Type 94 light tanks (scrapped wreckage); 12. 3593 melon grenades; 13. 3 five-watt battery field radios 14. 2 telephone exchanges; 15. 6 telephones; 16. 39 war horses; 17. 144 pack horses; 18. 103 carts; 19. 1,600 steel helmets; 20. More than 800 rounds of various artillery shells; 20. More than 160,000 rounds of various machine rifle bullets.

Seized in Lucheng County: 1. A total of more than 100,000 yuan in silver and foreign currency; 2. 690,000 kilograms of various grains found in the homes of the traitors during the suppression of traitors were dug out and transported to the station; 3. Some medicines and medical equipment from the 108th Division Field Hospital were seized ; 4. Seized various machine tools and equipment from the 108th Division's repair shop; 5. Seized some harnesses, medicines and equipment from the 108th Division's Sick Horse Factory; 6. Recruited 1,268 reserve recruits;

Just saying that there were a lot of seizures, that really didn't surprise Tang Dao. What surprised Tang Dao the most was that they even moved away the wreckage of the tanks. They were big guys weighing tons. How could they do it just by manpower? Arrived?

"How did you do it?" Tang Dao asked sincerely after reading the list in his hand.

"Haha, there are times when Commander Tang Dao can't figure it out!" Brigadier Cheng looked at Tang Dao with a surprised look on his face and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Having Tang Dao open his eyes in surprise is definitely something that makes Brigadier Cheng extremely happy.

In fact, these days, Tang Dao's performance is impeccable, so excellent that it is almost brilliant.

how to say? Just like a top student in a key class in a key middle school, if he only has good grades, even if he is first, the lower-ranked students may not always look up to him. But if this top student also has all kinds of talents, he will eventually be the top student. The amazing thing is that people don't feel jealous and just want to be friends with them. What kind of experience do you think this is?

Tang Dao is definitely the most "weird" person he has encountered in all his years of serving in the army. It can even be said that there is no one among them.

Brigadier Cheng was born in Huangpu and has seen too many so-called military geniuses, and he himself was one of them. Otherwise, would he really think that the name of the Three Heroes of Huangpu was in vain?

It goes without saying how great Brigadier Cheng's future achievements will be. There are two other people who can stand alongside him. One is his long-term secretary to the principal and died in the Northern Expedition; the other is one of the four pillars of the Fuxing Society. Those who have been in charge of the intelligence system for a long time are all extremely outstanding figures in this chaotic period.

But Brigadier Cheng has never seen a person like Tang Dao. He is very good at using elite teams to reconnaissance the enemy and launch a fatal blow. This is just a strange tactic. Such a military talent, in the Whampoa Military Academy, known as the cradle of Chinese generals, It's not that rare.

What is incredible is his control over the entire battlefield. His thinking is meticulous and the layout is grand. He is completely unlike a young man in his early 20s.

Just like this battle at Shentou Ridge, Tang Dao had already made a prediction before the war: The Japanese army would definitely dispatch 1,500 to 2,000 troops to help, and it would also inevitably speed up the march under the constant urging of its division headquarters to attack the seemingly unfavorable enemy. Perhaps the dangers in the ambush area were ignored. Most of the Japanese air power supported the Xuzhou direction, and even if there were any, a large number of fighter planes would not be dispatched to Shanxi East.

It is also not ruled out that the Japanese division headquarters will send a second wave of reinforcements after receiving the telegram that the reinforcements have been ambushed. However, due to the repeated attacks, the Japanese division headquarters will never easily gather forces on a large scale and prolong the battle to form a battle-level battlefield.

This judgment is mostly consistent with that of the military chief of the division. The only thing is that the general, who has a very high reputation in China, does not think that the Japanese division headquarters will give in so easily, and has secretly mobilized his subordinates to eliminate the East. All the troops outside the advancing column have already agreed with the headquarters of the 80th Group Army that if the Japanese army really wants to fight, they will accompany them to the end. The main force of the 511th Division, which is hundreds of miles away, is also ready to fight.

Once the war really starts, it will not be the Battle of Shentou Ridge fought by the 683 Brigade, but it will be the 80th Group Army versus the 108th Division. It will be a battle sweeping the entire southeastern Shanxi.

The final outcome was obviously that Tang Dao was right. It was not that Xiong Yuan and the 108th Division did not have the strength to fight the 80th Army, but they lacked the courage to start a full-scale war after being stunned by a stick.

In some respects, Tang Dao actually strategically defeated the military chief of the 921 Division.

Of course, after all, it was just the back-up prepared by the 921 Division, and it was only once. It is too arbitrary to say that Tang Dao's strategic vision is higher than that of the famous military officer, but Tang Dao's military His talent has been clearly demonstrated, and he is worthy of being an iron-blooded army fighting all the way from the Songhu battlefield.

If Tang Dao is just a man of great military talent, Tang Dao's personal charm is also very strong. Not to mention that Wang Xiaoqiang, who has repeatedly accepted his kindness, is full of praise for him, and not to mention that the young leader of the 769th regiment has high praise for him. , even the well-informed Brigadier Cheng himself, who has been in contact with him these days, feels that it is a blessing to be a comrade and friend with a soldier like Tang Dao.

If such a person can really be in the same camp in the future, it will be great. But if he becomes an enemy, think about the fact that there are two big Xiong Yuans in Changzhi City. Brigadier Cheng doesn't want to be so miserable one day. .

Brigadier Cheng had obviously forgotten that Tang Dao's opponents were obviously not limited to Xiong Yuan, a Japanese army lieutenant general. He could at least prove that he was alive. The guy who died in front of Songjiang City was Gushoufu. The children have all turned into flying ashes and I don't even know where Tianling Gai is!

Anyway, at this moment, Brigadier Cheng was very satisfied to see Tang Dao, a 'wonder', being shocked by his men's tricks. Facing Tang Dao's surprised inquiry, his face was calm but his eyes were full of pride: "Without him, Weiren Dole!”

"However, these things are still on the way, and they will probably arrive at night." Brigadier Cheng added.

Tang Dao then remembered that this man had mobilized nearly 20,000 people to carry food. He probably found that the Japanese had not made any big moves, so he simply organized a large number of people to dismantle the remains of the tanks that had been abandoned on the battlefield. Move back.

According to the telegrams received in the morning from the reconnaissance teams around Licheng and Lucheng, the Japanese troops in Shecheng and Changzhi began to send a small number of troops to the battlefield. They were probably afraid of being beaten. They first tested whether there were still soldiers in the mountains and fields. There are large numbers of Chinese troops.

After this battle, for at least a week, except for the county town, the Japanese troops will basically not be seen again in the mountainous areas.

However, that is more than fifty tons of steel! Even if there is no threat from the Japanese, transporting it here with pure manpower is no easier than transporting hundreds of thousands of kilograms of grain.

More importantly, with the 683rd Brigade's mechanical processing capabilities, which didn't even have a blacksmithing workshop at this time, what was the use of transporting these steel materials back?

"Brother, can you use these steels when they are brought back?" Tang Dao asked subconsciously.

Before he finished speaking, Tang Dao felt a little regretful because Brigadier Cheng had a slightly satisfied but warm smile on his face.

The 683rd Brigade cannot be used, but the Four Troops Group can be used, right?

Don't mistake bean bags for solid food. What's the remains of the tank? In this era of scarcity, it's hard to find a sheet of iron, let alone dozens of tons of high-quality refined steel. If this batch of scrap steel could be put to good use, it would be easy to produce thousands of guns and dozens of mortars.

Of course, compared to the guns and cannons Tang Dao gave before, this gift is not big, but the favor is really not small.

　　Let's not talk about Brigadier Cheng's sincerity towards people. He knew that Tang Dao wanted to vigorously develop military industry and these raw materials were indispensable, so he took such a big risk to produce these steels.

Beiganling is dozens of miles away from the base. The soldiers who returned to the base almost didn't even take a long rest before they had to trek back to the battlefield immediately for transportation.

Brigadier Cheng would naturally not tell Tang Dao that for these dozens of tons of steel, he personally asked Comrade Wang Xiaoqiang to lead the team yesterday evening, using two infantry battalions and 3,000 villagers, as well as all the captured packhorses and carts, and 200 kilograms of explosives. The wreckage of the tank is too big, so use explosives to blow it up and bring it back. The noise is not small, and thousands of people may not have to pay much for it, but for this trip alone, the people will eat horse food, which is thousands of kilograms of food at least. consumption.

This is no small favor!

"Little brother Tang, don't take it too seriously. In our army, you have always respected me a foot, and I will give you a foot in return! What's more, this is Xiong Yuan's treasure. Our army is just borrowing flowers to offer sacrifices to Buddha, and it's all a matter of manpower. ! In addition, you don't have to worry about the several Type 94 tanks that were burned down at Shentou Ridge. There is also a repair shop at the division headquarters. The deputy division commander specially sent me a telegram and asked me to collect some raw materials for them. Send it to them." Brigadier Cheng waved his hand, obviously not wanting Tang Dao to take this matter too seriously.

"If you think there is nothing wrong with this list, then Staff Zhang will ask you to sign the documents later. According to the rules we have agreed on before, all the seizures in the Battle of Beiganling, except for the tank wreckage, will belong to you. The rest of the artillery, guns and ammunition will be ours. Divide it into three, our brigade and your four-line regiment of the 769 regiment will each have one share, and the Lucheng side will be our division and your four-line regiment, each with half!"

Tang Dao did not reply immediately, but seemed to be deep in thought.

"Give me all the captured 75-meter mountain cannon!" Tang Dao suddenly said this without any clue.

“This” Brigadier Cheng frowned immediately.

Tang Dao made this request. Considering that the Four Lines Regiment provided hundreds of artillery shells for this battle and made a decisive contribution to the battlefield, this was not too much.

But artillery is also a rarity for the 921st Division! Not to mention that the 683 brigade does not have 75 mountain artillery, even the artillery battalion that the 921 division has already set up has only 4. These 3 75 mountain artillery captured from the battlefield will definitely make the two uninformed division commanders drink more tonight. Three bowls of wine.

“Brother, don't get me wrong!” Tang Dao, who had woken up from his deep thoughts, saw that Brigadier Cheng was in a dilemma and quickly explained.

"The reason why I want these three mountain cannons is because after this battle, I still feel that the firepower of our regiment's heavy artillery is a bit weak, so I plan to merge the two artillery companies of our regiment into a regimental artillery battalion, which will have a heavy mortar company, Mountain artillery company and cannon company! The three artillery companies use 150-heavy mortars, 75-caliber mountain cannons, and 70-mm infantry guns to form the core firepower for infantry support. They also use machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns to form a regiment. Air defense brigade directly under the Ministry!”

"The regiment belongs to the artillery battalion?" Brigadier Cheng couldn't help but take a breath.

Good guy, the entire artillery battalion of the 921st Division only has 4 mountain cannons, a few 82 mortars, and two 20mm Sulotong machine guns so far. As a result, Tang Dao will have to build a heavy mortar battery and mountain cannons. It's so annoying.

The key point is that Tang Dao is really not just dreaming. He has that kind of 150-caliber heavy mortar. The shells alone weigh more than ten kilograms. Within a range of more than 2,000 meters, one shot will shatter all the people and guns in a radius of 100 meters.

“Because our army currently doesn't have many mountain artillery pieces, it would be best if we could have eight. If these three artillery pieces are given to our regiment, they can just make up for this shortcoming.” Tang Dao said. "Please rest assured, brother, I don't want this cannon in vain. I don't want any of the rifles, light and heavy machine guns and ammunition obtained on the Beiganling battlefield. In addition, the pack horses and carts will all belong to your department. I only want the 39 war horses. ! What do you think?”

“Here, that's not a good deal for you, little brother!” Brigadier Cheng's eyes widened suddenly.

Although artillery is good, what is the most lacking thing for today's 921st Division? It's guns and ammunition!

Three artillery pieces and hundreds of rounds of artillery shells were handed over to the division headquarters. The firepower of the division artillery battalion was much stronger, but what does the artillery do? It provides fire support to the infantry.

If the infantry has no ammunition, how about the artillery having a ball?

If any military officer of the 921 Division were to choose, they would not hesitate to choose guns and ammunition instead of three 75mm mountain guns. This does not mean that the vision and pattern are not enough, but that reality forces it.

Just like a poor person faced with a dinner table worth one hundred thousand and a dining card that can eat ordinary food for a year, which one do you think he will choose?

As for the choice of war horses and packhorses and carts, Tang Dao actually didn't need to talk about it. Brigadier Cheng had this idea of exchange, but he was not embarrassed to say it yet.

We all know about war horses, but the key is that they are expensive! Grass and hay alone cannot guarantee that it will not lose weight. It must also be supplemented with soybeans, corn and other concentrated feeds. It is said that in order to ensure the hundreds of Mongolian horses in the cavalry regiment directly under the division, the hair of several chief officers is about to turn gray. Brigadier Cheng is such a smart person, so he will not step into that big pit easily when he does not have the conditions.

Doing things within the scope of one's own capabilities has always been an excellent quality of this military genius general.

In the past, the 683rd Brigade did not start to form a large-scale cavalry until the second half of the year after defeating a Japanese cavalry brigade and capturing a large number of war horses and equipment.

“Okay, as long as you feel it's not a loss, little brother Tang, then I'll do as you say!” Brigadier Cheng nodded in agreement.

"There is no problem with the seizure in Lucheng! All the machinery and equipment belong to your group, and we will enjoy preferential rights when producing them in the future. The other person will get half." Fearing that Tang Dao would do something wrong, Brigadier Cheng decided to make sure again.

"Those! I think it's better to wait until the two chiefs arrive and give their approval. There's no rush." Tang Dao shook his head.

"I said, little brother, if you have any dissatisfaction, just say it. It's easy for us brothers to talk and discuss it. Don't wait for the chief to come. Our director of the Teacher's Political Training Department is a famously shrewd person. When he comes, he can do the math. You will be stunned!" Seeing that Tang Dao seemed to have some objections, Brigadier Cheng couldn't help but become a little anxious.

He knows his own business. It's not that the Eightyth Army is unreasonable, but sometimes it's too disciplined. Under normal circumstances, when it cooperates with friendly forces, the spoils are distributed according to the proportion of troops sent by both parties.

If the extremely shrewd Director of the Political Training Department of the division had used this, the entire 921st Division would have sent 7,000 troops in the Battle of Beiganling, and the Fourth Line Regiment had only over 1,000 troops, accounting for less than one-sixth. Looking at the contribution to the entire battlefield, this distribution is definitely unfair.

That's why he found Tang Dao just after all the loot was tallied, hoping to cook the raw rice into cooked rice. The four-line regiment's baggage company was already loaded on the truck, and no one could let them unload it back, right?

This means that Brigadier Cheng has enough reputation in the 921st Division and even the 80th Army. If anyone else did this, he would simply make himself uncomfortable.

“Hehe, don't worry, brother, the two chiefs are highly respected, they will bully me, a junior!” Tang Dao politely declined the offer.

“Boy, what kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd?” Brigadier Cheng glanced at Tang Dao suspiciously.

Based on his understanding of Tang Dao, Tang Dao is very generous, but he is definitely not the kind of fool who only cares for everyone. This kind of initiative to put himself in an unfavorable situation may mean that he has an agenda, but he cannot guess it. What's the point of showing Tang Dao?

“Haha! Don't worry, brother, you'll find out in the evening.” Tang Dao smiled mischievously.

"You go and fight with the leaders, but don't take advantage of my 683rd brigade. I don't have anything to ask for here." Tang Dao's smile seemed to be very hearty, but it always made people feel like he was about to succeed. Brigadier Cheng Da had an unreasonable intuition that he would be plotted by Tang Dao.

Sometimes! This man's intuition is also very good.
