Rise From Eight Hundred

Xiangguanghua County!

"A commendation order from the Military Commission? Could it be that the 67th Army won the battle? Why didn't I, the commander of the theater, know about it, but the Military Commission thousands of miles away knew about it first? What the hell is Wu Keren doing!"

The commander of the Fifth Theater Zone, who had never been able to contact the important air defense company that was making a fuss, was stunned by a telegram handed over by the chief of staff.

"Looking at the meaning of the message, it seems that the air defense company assigned to the command of the theater killed five new Japanese fighter planes at 4 p.m., and the wreckage of one of the fighter planes was relatively intact. The Mi side expressed its willingness to pay 20,000 Mei Dao acquired the wreckage for research, and he was so happy that he issued a commendation order in his name on the spot." The lieutenant general's chief of staff said with a wry smile.

"Brother Yanmou, you mean that the air defense company that had been shut down and unable to contact the field radio quietly hid near Yiling City and ambush the Japanese fleet? And then this military exploit was still recorded on our first Is it in the head of the Fifth War Zone?" The soft-spoken general commander wearing gold-rimmed glasses took the telegram and read it carefully, but his eyes showed thinking.

"The highest military commander of the air defense company is just an army major battalion commander, but he has such courage? Brother Yanmou, do you believe it?"

"I don't believe it either. If you fight well, you can get a commendation order and wear a medal. But if you don't fight well, you are acting privately. In such a war, it is a serious crime to lose your head. Anyway, it makes me 20 years younger. You absolutely don’t dare.” The Lieutenant General’s Chief of Staff shook his head repeatedly.

"I, Mr. Li, will not just swallow this big pie that fell from the sky in silence. I sent a message to ask about the specific battle situation of the department at that time and who was commanding it at that time. If it is true, the theater headquarters has lost contact for two hours. The crime will not be held accountable!" The general commander sat back in his chair with a smile on his face.

"Brother Yanmou, why don't you and I guess who sent me such a big favor? Whoever guesses correctly will have an extra steamed bun for dinner!"

"It's my wish, but I don't dare to invite you!" The lieutenant general's chief of staff laughed out loud when he saw the thin commander smiling for the first time in so many days.

Since the defense line of the 33rd Group Army was broken and General Zhang died on the front line, as the commander of the 5th Theater District, one can imagine the great psychological pressure on him. The reason why he made a bet that he would eat one more steamed bun if he won was probably to force himself. A handful.

However, this also shows that this person is extremely confident in the answer in his heart.

The two of them picked up their pens, wrote down the answers in their hearts, and then spread them out in front of each other.

The commander-general wrote the word "knife" on his hand, and the lieutenant-general and chief of staff wrote "four elements" on his hand. The two men, who were similar in age, looked at each other and laughed.

Sure enough, in the minds of these two men, except for the audacious Commander Tang, no one dared to let go of the theater headquarters, causing an elite unit with six 40mm anti-aircraft anti-aircraft guns to lose command for several hours.

"This son of Tang Dao is good at attacking and defending, and he also attaches great importance to love and justice. He is indeed a good general, but he is too unruly and unruly. Otherwise, I would have advised you, Commander, to transfer him to our war zone to serve as the enemy's blade in our war zone. Ah!" the lieutenant general sighed.

"Brother Yanmou, although we have a good understanding of each other and our guesses are about the same person, there is a slight difference in our evaluation of Tang Dao!" The commander-in-chief smiled and shook his head.

"The so-called unruly is only for certain people, but far away, such as Commander Zhao of the 38th Army and Commander Guo of the 43rd Army who are carrying the enemy in the north, he respects and respects people like our fifth theater area minister, Jingshan and others. Why, we rough guys in the military have more authority than those people?

To put it bluntly, he will only respect those he likes! "

"Hey, that's because the young man doesn't know how to restrain his sharp edges. It's okay during the war. Those people need him to charge into the battle. After the war, some narrow-minded people will definitely liquidate him. Whoever gets too close to him will also be punished. It will definitely be implicated." The Lieutenant General shook his head and sighed.

"Haha! Brother Yanmou, your demands are a bit too high. We were both high-spirited and vigorous when we were 25 years old. How can we be so old-fashioned and think before we make a decision?

I don’t know if Brother Yanmou agrees or not, but I really admire this guy’s personality of being bold and bold in taking things forward. Maybe it’s because I’ve seen too many masks and intrigues, and I’m feeling tired! "The Admiral Commander smiled.

"Besides, this guy didn't just say that he just got along with us and just left. Didn't he send us a commendation order and a report?"

"Is this true?" the lieutenant general's chief of staff was stunned.

"Telegram from Yiling Airport Air Defense Company 1!" the communications staff officer outside the door reported loudly.

"Look, isn't this coming?"

The lieutenant general and chief of staff immediately realized that just a few minutes after the order for the air defense company to report the situation was issued, the other party called back. The message was naturally prepared long ago and must have been written by Tang Dao.

"Commander Li Junjian: From this ambush of Japanese fighter planes to the victory of our air defense company, it was all due to the wise command of the theater headquarters, the heroic fighting of all the officers and soldiers of the air defense company, and the full assistance of our brothers in the friendly 67th Army. Our department is determined to defeat the commander The officer's subordinates fought bloody battles with the Japanese pirates until the last soldier died."

The lieutenant general and chief of staff finished reading the message with a strange look on his face, and said: "You are really a good guy. He gave all the military exploits to the theater command and showed his loyalty. Commander, if you want to accuse me, you are not being honest." I mean, if it’s rumored, this guy Tang Dao is really very courageous!”

"Haha! His Tang Dao is not very courageous, so I don't dare to have him! If not for anything else, just for his courage, him and his Si Xing Tuan, this big fat guy, I, Lao Li, will go all out with this old face , I have to grab it from that old Xi'er." The commander-in-chief laughed out loud, which was rare.

"I am trying to call the Military Commission and say that our 5th theater does not want the merit of shooting down 5 Japanese fighter planes. If the Military Commission feels sorry for it, we have lost a new general in our theater and the next division under his command has suffered heavy losses with all its combat strength." For the sake of losing me, Zong Ren and the generals in the fifth theater are very grateful for lending me a regiment to defend the enemy on the front line!" the general commander said while pacing slowly in the room.

"Commander, are you serious?" The Lieutenant General and Chief of Staff were shocked.

"Haha! I don't mind making harmless jokes in private, but I never joke about military affairs. Brother Yanmou, just call the Military Commission as I said, and don't change a word!" The general commander turned his gaze. He looked towards the setting sun outside the door, his expression extremely serious.

"However, even if the Military Commission gives you face, Commander, there will be obstacles in the Second War Zone, and the Fourth Army Group may not be willing to travel long distances. The most important thing is that even if this transfer order is given the green light, they are still there. In North China, which is 2,000 miles away, when they arrive, the day lilies will be cold!" the lieutenant general's chief of staff was speechless.

He didn't expect that the theater commander in front of him, who had a slightly meek personality, would be so decisive this time. For the sake of a small infantry regiment, he would even use the tricks of betrayal and even use words of gratitude.

You know, this man has been in charge of Gui Province for many years, and his wolf army is even more powerful.

In the Battle of Songhu, 60,000 wolf troops charged against a hail of bullets, paving the streets and alleys with the bodies of 40,000 wolf troops, and defeated several Japanese defense lines, attracting the attention of the Chinese people.

And he also has a general named Bai, known as Xiao Zhuge, who can withstand an army of 100,000. Whether in military or political terms, this person can be regarded as one of the most important figures in China today. Back then, he was transferred from the Ministry of National Defense to serve as a staff officer under his command. As a leader, his colleagues all thought he was flying high, but they didn't know how he was walking on thin ice. It wasn't until this year that he gained his trust.

"After this battle is over, there will be no more battles to fight. I asked Commander Wu of the 67th Army to send a message to Tang Dao for me. When I saw you in Xuzhou in the past, I knew that you would soar into the abyss. Now that the general is in trouble, I want to avenge this. We must do our best. The fifth theater is directly under the independent regiment, or the Jingchu garrison brigade, or the 33rd group army independent brigade, you can choose one of the three!" the general commander continued.

The lieutenant general's chief of staff was completely stunned.

Good guy, the first position is easy to say. From the regiment directly under the second war zone to the independent regiment directly under the fifth war zone, they are considered equal. But the next two, even the ones belonging to the local establishment, are all regiments transformed into brigades, directly Promoted one level.

That means that as long as Tang Dao chooses any of the latter, he will be a general in the school, a qualitative leap. He would be a fool if he didn't do it.

As for whether the general commander's words count, with his current influence in China's military and political circles, he has to give him this face even if he is not happy.

"Brother Yanmou, maybe you think that Tang Dao and the Four Elements Regiment finally came to my war zone because of the promise I just made!" the general commander asked calmly, looking at the setting sun with his hands behind his back.

"I don't think anyone can refuse such an opportunity, not to mention that fighting the enemy is not the enemy!" After thinking for a while, the lieutenant general's chief of staff still insisted on his judgment.

"So, you don't really know this guy! Only when you really meet him will you know why he is so compatible with Juchen. Both of them are soldiers in the true sense, Chinese soldiers. !” the admiral commander sighed.

"Actually, the military position is not very attractive to them. The reason why they carry these stars is that they hope that more people can join them and stand in front of the bloody bayonets of the Japanese pirates aimed at our Chinese nation, and pull out The broadswords at their waists.

And I firmly believe that the reason why he is willing to come to our war zone is precisely the first one, because there is the Japanese 11th Army here. Based on my understanding of him, how can I extinguish the rage in his heart just by killing a few Japanese pilots? ! Of the three choices given to him later, he will probably choose the first position. "

"Why is this?" The lieutenant general's chief of staff said it was difficult to understand.

There is no conflict between promotion, fighting the Japanese, or revenge!

"Directly under the war zone, he only has one mother-in-law above his head when fighting in the four-line regiment. If he is assigned to the local area or the 33rd Army, how many mothers-in-law will be in charge of him? With his personality, and How could you be willing?"

"It seems that the commander is well aware of this son's temperament. Even if he is a monkey, he will not be able to fly out of your Wuzhishan when he reaches our fifth theater! Congratulations in advance to the commander first and then he will be helped by a good general!" Lieutenant General! The chief of staff stopped asking questions now and congratulated him in advance.

"It's too early to say congratulations. Even if that person agrees, Tang Dao is also willing. Isn't there a stingy old Xi'er in the middle? I have to find a way to let Xiaobai go to the second theater!" The general commander waved his hand. , but he didn’t say anything to death.

But judging from the smile on his face, it was obvious that these were all included in his calculations.

Naturally, Tang Dao didn't know that his move today actually aroused the great god's interest in him. He had already boarded the ship and headed straight to the mountain city, and all he could think about at the moment was one thing.

"Sir, General Zhang died in the war for the country. The mountains and rivers are mourning, but you can't go too far." Shen Chonghai, who returned to the mountain city with the ship, saw Tang Dao standing at the bow of the ship for a long time. He knew that he was sad. Seeing that it was already midnight, he finally couldn't help but come up to persuade him. .

"My eldest brother's sacrifice was also his wish. You and I are both soldiers, so we know that sadness will not help." Tang Dao shook his head.

He knew that he would not be able to make it to his eldest brother's funeral. Perhaps, that was the sadness that he deliberately avoided. What he was thinking about now was whether he would have the chance to transport the remaining anti-aircraft artillery and wildcats that had arrived in Asan Country before August 19th. The fighter planes were transported back to the mountain city.

Anti-aircraft artillery can be rented by American C-47 air transport, but Wildcat fighter jets cannot. In order not to anger the Japanese, the Americans will never send hundreds of pilots to fly a huge fleet to China with such fanfare.

If Americans can't do it, then you have to go alone.

Tang Dao pointed his finger at the mountains under the moonlight on both sides of the bank, and said quietly: "It is said that the scenery of the Three Gorges is magnificent. Chonghai, you have flown over it countless times. I wonder if you have taken a closer look."

"That's not true. Every time I overlook this river from a height of 3,000 meters, I just use it as a route to guide. I know that as long as I can still see this river, I will definitely be able to fly to Jianghan. What's in my mind It's all about bombing the Japanese invaders' airport, where you can still enjoy the scenery of the canyon." Shen Chonghai shook his head.

"Yes, the war is raging at this time. The greatest desire of our generation is to drive out the Japanese pirates and restore our mountains and rivers, so we can still enjoy the magnificent mountains and rivers." Tang Dao sighed and nodded.

"Thousands of years ago, Li Taibai wrote a poem praising this beautiful scenery: The white emperor's speech is among the colorful clouds, and the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains are returned in one day. The apes on both sides of the bank can't stop crying, and the light boat has passed the Ten Thousand Mountains."

"The boat has passed the Ten Thousand Mountains!" When he heard Tang Dao softly reciting the poem to the end, Shen Chonghai couldn't help but recite it softly, and his eyes lit up against the lights on the bow.

"Sir, the war has been going on for more than three years. Can we be considered as having crossed the Ten Thousand Mountains with a single boat?"

"That's right! When the Japanese invaders invaded our northern gateway, did they clamor that they would destroy all of China within three months? But now three years have passed, how much do they occupy?" Tang Dao answered loudly.

"Don't say that they haven't occupied our southern China. Even if they occupy our southern China, it will only account for two-fifths of our huge territory. They simply don't understand that with their logistical transportation capabilities and national strength, the longer the time and the front line are stretched, the more they will lose." Die sooner.

From a strategic point of view, the war has entered a new stage, and we will become stronger and stronger! "

"Really?" Shen Chonghai looked so excited that he couldn't help himself.

This is the first time someone has told him with such certainty that China has overcome the most difficult moment and can almost see the dawn of victory.

In the cabin, dozens of remnant soldiers listened to Tang Dao's loud words, and their dim and silent eyes also had light.

If it is true as Tang Tuanzuo said, then their officers did not die in vain, and their brothers did not die in vain. They sacrificed their lives to help the entire China survive the most difficult three years.

It's just that sadness inevitably arises in my heart. My comrades who have been struggling with failure have not persisted until this day!

Victory, even if there is only a slight possibility, is extremely precious to the Chinese soldiers at this time.

I don’t understand why they are so excited. It’s because you have never walked forward in the dark.

"You can still doubt my vision now, but let me tell you one more thing. In a few decades, the water level here will rise hundreds of meters. By then, the natural chasm will become a thoroughfare, cutting off the clouds and rain in Wushan Mountain, and the high gorge will level the lake. Until then, remember to tell me, if you don’t believe me, I’m a dog!” Tang Dao joked.

"Pfft!" Shen Chonghai was almost stunned by Tang Tuanzuo's sudden words.

Really, one second he was still talking about strategy, and the next second his style changed suddenly. If you didn’t believe that he was a dog, you would say that he couldn’t adapt!

Even if he looked at the lofty mountains nearly a thousand meters high on both sides of the bank and the surging river at his feet with confusion, even if he killed young Shen Chonghai, he would not believe that anyone had the ability to cut off this river, unless there was a god.

And when the gray-haired old Shen visited the Three Gorges again and looked at the calm mirror-like lake at his feet, he recalled what the man said to him 60 years ago, and he burst into tears.

No one knows why this octogenarian cried when he looked at the magnificent scenery in front of him.

Only he himself knows that he misses his comrades again!

It wasn't that person who told him that 'the boat has crossed the Ten Thousand Mountains'. He kept moving forward in the darkness and kept losing his comrades. He didn't know if he could survive those few years.

And he waited for this big river to become a big lake for 60 years. As expected, that man never deceived him.

"Chonghai, return to the mountain city and inform your comrades that I need them to take a long trip!" Tang Dao said softly, looking at the dark river surface.

"How far?"

"2,500 kilometers away! 100 Wildcat fighter jets, you need to fly back in person! However, flying over the plateau snow-capped mountains is extremely risky!"

"I guarantee that all the five flying groups stationed in Sichuan Province are willing to move forward!" Shen Chonghai took a deep breath and his voice was very soft, but as strong as a mountain.
