Rise From Eight Hundred

"I said you are rubbish, not because you laid down your weapons, not because you were forced to surrender to the enemy.

The incompetence of one general killed the three armies. The 29th Army rushed to fight. One hundred thousand people faced nearly two hundred thousand Japanese invaders. If they could win the battle, it would be wishful thinking.

That is a crime of non-war, and it is not something you and I can change." Tang Dao's voice continued to resound throughout the venue.

The muscles on Shangguan Yun's face twitched slightly. In fact, if Tang Dao's words were spread by someone with ulterior motives, some people would definitely make a fuss. He has been in the army for a long time, but he knows how sinister people are.

Glancing around, the officers of the surrounding Four Lines Regiment did not change their expressions. Shangguan Yun was relieved. Tang Dao's control over the Four Lines Regiment far exceeded his imagination, otherwise he would not have abandoned the entire infantry regiment and went to Songhu alone to rescue them.

Thinking about the fact that Tang Dao and Lei Xiong disobeyed the military orders of the headquarters that day, and even tore off their military ranks, it is normal to scold them for incompetence now.

What's more, what Tang Dao said was the truth.

Someone was mentally prepared for the full-scale invasion of Japan but had no plan, which objectively caused a series of passiveness in the Patriotic War.

"Rather, it was your performance in the special training camp.

You resisted the brutality and various temptations of the Japanese invaders in the prisoner-of-war camp, but you gathered to make trouble just because lunch was late during the training. To put it nicely, it was a gathering and noise, but the fact is that you are mutiny.

Then I want to ask you, would you do this in the prisoner-of-war camp? No, you wouldn't, you know that those beasts will show their fangs to you without hesitation, and will punish you with blood and death.

But your people won't, so you will be so reckless. Tell me, is this a typical case of being fearless?

To the brutal enemy, you can be as compliant as a gentle kitten, but to your own people, you are as irritable as a male lion in heat on the grassland. Isn't it ridiculous?" Tang Dao showed a strong disdain on his face.

The faces of the officers and soldiers in the special training camp were filled with shame.

"In the Southeast Shanxi Campaign, our Second War Zone won a great victory, killing and wounding more than 20,000 Japanese invaders, and completely annihilated a mixed brigade of Japanese invaders, but what was the price? The lives of more than 13,000 soldiers were glorious in Taihang Mountains, and the blood of a total of 30,000 officers and soldiers dyed the entire mountain red.

How many iron soldiers cried with red eyes carrying the remains of their comrades, and there was no one else who could comfort them, only the lives of the Japanese. Blood debts must be paid with blood, and this has been the case since ancient times.

But we let them go, why? First, although you were defeated and captured, we, the northern army, have never forgotten you, the comrades who raised swords and guns to the Japanese army that day.

Everyone here hopes to see you pick up your guns again and fight with us, to prove to the Japanese devils that as long as we are here, they will never think of being arrogant on the land left to the Chinese nation by our ancestors.

Second, after the Southeast Shanxi Campaign ended, a big brother of the 59th Army sent a congratulatory telegram to my Fourth Line Regiment."

Tang Dao took out a piece of paper from his trouser pocket and read: "This time, the great victory in southeastern Shanxi, although you are thousands of miles away, you are also cheering for your achievements. In the midst of joy, you are also sad!

You have joined the army since you were 20 years old, and have experienced countless battlefields. You have a clear mind and no regrets. However, 6,000 soldiers of the 39th Independent Brigade were trapped in Pingbei because of your misjudgment. Every time you think about it, you toss and turn and can't sleep at night!

If you capture prisoners of war and the Japanese invaders want to exchange them, I hope you will think of us brothers. Pengcheng's feelings hit it off at first sight, saving the 6,000 soldiers of the 39th Independent Brigade from danger, allowing them to return to the front line of the Anti-Japanese War, avenge the previous shame, and not let down the heroic reputation of our 29th Army that fought the enemy on the front line for several years!

Brother Zhang Jinchen weeps and bows again! "

After a telegram was read, the ranks of officers and soldiers in the special training camp were like surging waves, many people had tears in their eyes, and the northern man who led the crowd was even more in tears, crying: "The division commander has not forgotten us, he has not forgotten us!"

Yes! At the beginning, they followed the old commander to stay, and they did have the idea of ​​being loyal to the country together, but who would have thought that the situation changed so quickly. The Japanese army took advantage of the so-called negotiation opportunity and increased its original 20,000 troops to more than 100,000 in a very short time. It is not enough to describe the disparity in strength between the two sides at that time.

In the end, they could only become prisoners of war without firing a single shot. Not only were they humiliated physically and mentally, but they also had a suspicion of being betrayed. But now, after hearing Tang Dao read this telegram, the suspicion hidden deep in his heart disappeared.

Their old superior, even if he was in a high position again, had never forgotten these comrades who had fought side by side with him.

This was undoubtedly a shot in the arm for these former "prisoners of war" whose self-esteem had been extremely frustrated.

"But I am very disappointed. Even if you did not choose to surrender in the prisoner-of-war camp, it only proves that you have not forgotten that you are Chinese, but your performance at this time is like a group of defeated soldiers with lax military discipline. You have lost the pride you had when you stood on the Great Wall defense line! Brother Zhang forgot that some people's will may not be as strong as he imagined!" Tang Dao shook his head slightly, his face was solemn.

"You are no longer worthy of picking up your guns and fighting side by side with me and my brothers!

As a Tang Dao, I have lived up to my promise to my elder brother. I exchanged you back as he wished. But as the supreme commander of the Four Lines Group, I regret it a little. I regret exchanging you back for a group of vagrants who disregard military discipline.

I order the special training camp to be disbanded!

You all, go home! Going back alive with a wife and children is also a good choice. "

Ye Chenghuan was shocked!

He knew too well how important this group of officers and soldiers was to the current Four-Line Regiment.

The artillery battalion, cavalry battalion, engineering company, communication company, and medical company were in urgent need of technical arms. The newly formed 4th Infantry Battalion needed a large number of combat veterans. Otherwise, with only 270 people and 1,000 new recruits, the combat effectiveness might not be as good as one-third of the other infantry battalions.

Shangguan Yun almost asked Tang Dao to withdraw his order. He certainly knew the purpose of Tang Dao bringing him here. At least 500 people would become his subordinates, so that he, the battalion commander, could Showing his face is also good for calming down these elite soldiers who originally belonged to the 29th Army, which will make it easier to command them in the future.

As a result, his face was shown, but Tang Tuanzuo drove all the people away, so what's the use of showing his face?

However, they are all the most orthodox soldiers. Although they cannot judge Tang Dao's original intention, Tang Dao is the highest commander of the Four Lines Regiment. Once his military order is issued, the whole regiment will obey it unconditionally.

"From here, go south along the southwest of Shanxi, you can reach Shaanxi. If you want to go to Sichuan, you can go to Sichuan, or go south along the Han River to Central China. You can go anywhere in the world.

Don't worry, since I have already called you trash, I will not call you cowards again. Even if you don't look at Brother Zhang's face, you have experienced life and death once, and you have the right to choose your future life. "

Pointing at the distant mountains, without waiting for the special training camp officers and soldiers to respond, Tang Dao turned his head and shouted: "Director Ye, give each person in the special training camp five dollars for travel expenses, prepare three days of food for each person, and issue a pass for our Four-Line Regiment! Captain Shangguan, Captain Cai, you two are responsible for cooperating with Director Ye to disband the special training camp!"

After Ye Chenghuan, Shangguan Yun, and Cai Yongguan stepped out of the team and loudly received the order, Tang Dao put on his military uniform and led the rest of the officers to leave with their heads held high.

The three officers looked at Tang Dao's receding back and smiled bitterly at each other. They more or less understood what Tang Dao meant. This was a strong medicine to give this group of officers and soldiers who had spent a year in the prisoner-of-war camp a reverse stimulus, so that they would understand that since they came to the Four-Line Regiment, they had to obey orders and could raise opinions, but they must not use this kind of gathering method.

Otherwise, although Tang Dao, the supreme commander, could not punish them all by military law for violating military discipline, he would directly overturn the table and slap two Dispersal is completely possible.

The countless "medals" on his body have told all the officers and soldiers of the special training camp here that he is a tough commander and will never leave a group of unstable elements in the army.

However, the human heart is the most difficult to grasp. If the drug is too strong, if the person really runs away, where can they cry at that time?

But things have come to this point. Since Tang Dao has made up his mind, the two can only choose to support Tang Dao's decision.

"Let's go, Captain Shangguan, Captain Cai, I will notify Director Zhuang of the Quartermaster Department and ask him to prepare the supplies. Please accompany me on this mission." Ye Chenghuan is also a decisive person and said to his two subordinates.

"Director Ye is serious! "Shangguan Yun was also very polite.

He was very clear about the power structure of the Four-Line Regiment. He had met the regiment's chief of staff Gong Shaoxun at the large construction site in HD and knew that he would stay there to preside over the factory construction and the focus of his work would be on that side. This political director was the well-deserved third in command of the Four-Line Regiment.

Even though he and Tang Dao and Lei Xiong were old comrades-in-arms, he could not be arrogant and ignore the third in command. If someone is polite to you, it is their quality. If you take politeness for granted, then it is his problem.

Besides, this chief Holding the work of the special training camp, his newly established Fourth Battalion needs some elite soldiers and generals, and he still needs help from others, right?

Tang Dao deliberately left him here, nothing more than wanting him to build a relationship with the director of the political department first.

It can only be said that the adult world is not easy, and any action has a lot of deep meaning!

But Tang Tuanzuo dared to guarantee that he didn't think so complicated. He just hoped that Shangguan Yun and others could integrate into the big group of the Four-Line Group as soon as possible, including the brief but warm enough welcome ceremony in the morning.

He hoped that the elite soldiers of the 542nd Regiment could regard the Four-Line Group as their own home, not It was a guest army. After all, the war was imminent, and there was not much time for them to slowly adapt.

But obviously, Shangguan Yun's attitude satisfied Ye Chenghuan. The white-faced scholar in front of him did not have the arrogant attitude of those officers from the national army system. He was very humble and had enough awareness and wisdom. No wonder Tang Dao basically did not discuss with Lei Xiong and him and decided on this person's position.

Having been in the Four Lines Regiment for a long time, Ye Chenghuan knew how strong the combat effectiveness of a battalion of the Four Lines Regiment was now, which was almost equivalent to the combat effectiveness of the 772nd and 771st Regiments.

The two also turned and left.

Wei More than 2,000 soldiers from the special training camp were left in the valley, looking at each other in bewilderment.

This outcome was completely beyond their expectations. They had originally united just because of their fragile self-esteem to try to avoid these empty ideological and political studies, but they didn't expect that the extremely strong commander would scold them and then drive them away.

But to be honest, the Four-Line Regiment treated them very well. Except for the large amount of ideological and political studies that made people disgusted, the food and the attitude of the soldiers in the barracks were very good, especially when Tang Dao read the telegram from Commander Zhang, they inexplicably felt a sense of belonging to the Four-Line Regiment.

They had been informed during the special training camp that the 29th Army was disbanded and reorganized into the First Army. They could not return to their old unit, and it seemed that it would be a good idea to join the old superiors and brothers.

But now they have overturned the card table and stopped playing, which really made people dumbfounded.

What is this routine?

The supplies of the Quartermaster Department of the Four-Line Regiment were obviously sufficient. Although they received the notice at short notice, they still quickly sent two large boxes and white flour buns in baskets by horse carriage.

Two whole boxes of white cash were placed in front of the officers and soldiers of the special training camp!

"Brothers, if you want to go home, come and get the money! Five dollars per person for a pass, in addition, there are white flour buns, 6 per person, take them, and you can go home." A second lieutenant officer of the Political Department shouted loudly with a tin loudspeaker.

More than 10,000 steamed buns were still steaming. I guess these buns were originally prepared by the Four-line Regiment for the dinner of several directly affiliated battalions. They were moved here as soon as they were ready.

The buns in the army are real. One steamed bun weighs at least 4 taels. Two buns can definitely last a day.

But after hesitating for a long time, no one stood up.

"Damn it, the commander said you were trash but you still didn't accept it. Now you don't dare to take money, clothes and steamed buns home.

Who is the commander of our Four-Line Regiment? He is a hero who dared to fight a Japanese infantry regiment with hundreds of brothers. He is a hero who led thousands of us to fight our way out of the encirclement from Songhu. He keeps his word.

We give you money and clothes to clear the way home because you are not second devils and are still Chinese. Come and get the money and get out." Cai Yongguan stared with a pair of bull eyes, and his roar resounded throughout the valley.

Don't say it, the subordinates arranged by Tang Dao to help Ye Chenghuan are very special. Cai Yongguan himself was born as a bandit leader. His bull eyes are like Zhang Fei, and he is intimidating without anger. Although his roar was hoarse, it was definitely like thunder, which was very suitable for this occasion.

If you want Ye Chenghuan and Shangguan Yun, who are more pale, to speak loudly, they are far less imposing than Cai Yongguan, a rough guy, because he didn't carry his machete.

Li Jiujin always teased Cai Yongguan, who always carried a machete, that he looked like a bandit leader instead of a regular army company commander. This time, Cai Yongguan dressed formally to welcome Shangguan Yun and others, and finally put down the machete he carried wherever he went.

After being scolded by Cai Yongguan, someone finally came out after a while, lowered his head and walked to the front, counted out five silver dollars from the cash box, took the pass from the officer of the Quartermaster Department of the Four-line Regiment with a contemptuous face, and took six white steamed buns from the basket with his clothes, and left the barracks.

Someone took the lead, and everything was just as the fierce army captain said, and no one stopped him.

The officers and soldiers in the special training camp gradually became bolder, and walked out in groups of three or five, received money and passes, and left with steamed buns.

"Bah, garbage! Cowards!" The second lieutenant at the gate of the garrison camp spat heavily into the special training camp, and waved his hand, "Brothers, line up over there, stay away from these cowards, don't be infected by them."

The face of the northern man who had been standing silently by the side was filled with endless shame, but he was powerless in the face of his former colleagues who walked out one after another and wanted to go home.

It was not until two people from his company came out not far from him, lowered their heads and walked straight to the cash box without even looking at him, that the northern man suddenly became angry, "Zhou Mingxuan, Sun Danian, you bastards want to leave too? You don't want to avenge your brothers."

"Captain, I don't want to die! I have three children and a mother to support at home. I don't want to die, and I don't want my children and mother to starve to death." A soldier suddenly knelt down from a distance to the northern man and cried loudly.

The northern man was stunned as if struck by lightning, his chest heaving violently, but he couldn't say a word.

"Captain, I'm sorry, the brothers' revenge can only be avenged in the next life, I want to go back alive to see my parents off." Another soldier also knelt down and kowtowed several times to the northern man with a distorted and scary face, then stood up resolutely and left without looking back.

In the figure of the northern man standing still and even somewhat lonely and desperate, one after another, officers and soldiers of the special training camp walked out of the queue, walked to the cash box, picked up the steamed buns, and left.

However, almost everyone chose to leave from behind him, or try to avoid him as far as possible.

Even if they had been in the prisoner-of-war camp for a long time and felt cowardly, they could not bear to see the pride that this scarred northern man once had, being shattered bit by bit by his colleagues with cowardice.

In just ten minutes, nearly 200 people left!

In the distance, several eyes silently looked at this place through telescopes, watching those soldiers who were physically and mentally injured by the prisoner-of-war camp make their own choices.

"Sir, have a cigarette!" Qin Ruoyu handed a cigarette to Tang Dao, who was squinting his eyes, with a bitter face.

ps: Today a book friend left a message saying that some plots are similar to the old book. That's right. The old book was banned for 3 years. Now it is out, but it has been changed beyond recognition. It is no longer the story that Fengyue created with all her efforts. Fengyue has always been unwilling to give up. In addition, Fengyue has completely reinterpreted the selected plots, which should be better than what she wrote before.

Also, Fengyue promises that the battle of East Jin, which is about to break out, will be the same except for the location, but the battle process and tactical arrangements will be completely different. Fengyue promises to give everyone a brand new battle of East Jin, and the Japanese army will be more cunning and more difficult to deal with.

Thank you very much for the support of the book friends who left comments and criticized Fengyue. Fengyue hopes to work hard to give you and other book friends a wonderful anti-Japanese war story!
