Rise From Eight Hundred

The guard company commander could not help but cast his eyes towards the army colonel with a strange expression.

The idea of ​​taking dozens of people out of the position to steal thousands or even tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers was enough to make one's scalp numb.

But unexpectedly, the army colonel strangely did not express any opinions, but instead looked deep, as if considering the feasibility of Tang Dao's idea.

Commanders, are you all crazy? This was the thought in the minds of the officers and soldiers of the guard company.

"Are you scared? But it doesn't matter. The position of the 3rd Company of the 43rd Army will be handed over to you for the time being." Tang Dao's cold eyes slid across the ranks of the guard company soldiers with strange expressions, and said coldly.

"Commander Tang, we are under your command now, but if there is a military order, all of my guard company will obey the military order. Not to mention just going out to steal the enemy's position, even if it is a sea of ​​fire and swords, all of my guard company dares to go there." The sharp guard company commander glanced at his own regiment commander who was thinking with his head down, and his heart suddenly jumped. He stepped out of the queue and stood at attention and answered.

Tang Dao's cold eyes stayed on the face of the guard captain for a long time, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Very good! Just for what you said, Captain Peng, your guard company is qualified to stay in Cangcheng to fight." Tang Dao nodded.

At this moment, the somewhat arrogant guard company realized that this person was just testing with crazy ideas. If they had any random suggestions, it is estimated that this person would ruthlessly drive them back.

The reason is very simple. In this position, what he needs is absolute obedience, not relying on being an elite to express his opinions at will.

And their silent regiment commander may have more or less seen through the mind of this unclear commander Tang, and used silence to express his support for him.

Fortunately, their captain company commander was alert enough and did not let this person drive everyone back in front of the regiment commander.

At this moment, the guard company soldiers who figured this out did not even think that Tang Dao would not do this, not because of how big the reputation of the battalion commander of the Fourth Battalion was, nor because of Tang Dao's position as the highest commander of the Cangcheng position.

Instead, subconsciously, they thought that Tang Dao would be so strong.

This is also the intuition of the soldiers.

Their intuition is right.

As long as one of them jumps out and complains about Tang Dao's seemingly extremely crazy idea, Tang Dao will ruthlessly drive this group of the proudest elites of the 644th Regiment back to the city.

Wang Xirui, he admires him very much, but this does not mean that Tang Dao will accept a group of arrogant soldiers who do not obey military orders, even if they are also fierce generals.

In this small place in Cangcheng, what he needs is not only the ability to fight against thousands of troops, but most importantly, absolute obedience.

Even if he knows that he will die and has to use his body to block the gap in the city wall, he will not look back after the military order.

Everyone is just a screw of a machine, and there can only be one brain.

This is what is called being at the command of an arm.

If not, how can they resist the fierce attacks of the Japanese army?

The guard company of the 644th Regiment is very good. Although they are very proud, they are never conceited. Even if they have doubts about Tang Dao's ideas, they are still willing to obey orders.

"You can stay, but my idea just now was not a suggestion, but an order." Tang Dao's smile faded. "All the brothers in the guard company equipped with Mauser pistols and submachine guns, replenish enough ammunition and follow me out of the city to carry out the mission."

"Yes!" The guard company commander surnamed Peng saluted without hesitation to receive the order.

Through the short contact just now, although the guard company commander has not yet figured out Tang Dao's temper, he is sure of one thing, what Tang Dao needs is to follow orders.

"Captain Tang, you go!" The army colonel who was deep in thought did not stop Tang Dao's seemingly crazy behavior, but said. "I will temporarily take over the command of the Cangcheng position for you, and the heavy firepower points of the entire army will enter the position to cover you and wait for your return."

"Okay!" Tang Dao raised his hand and saluted.

The army colonel returned the salute.

One of them had to lead 60 officers and soldiers equipped with continuous-fire firearms to attack the Japanese positions 800 meters away, and the other had to lead 60 elite soldiers under his command to rush into the fire;

The other had to command Cangcheng's heavy weapons that could attack hundreds of meters away to provide fire cover for his return. If he retreated a little when the Japanese artillery fire suddenly arrived, Tang Dao and 60 elite soldiers would almost certainly die.

The enraged Japanese army, the madness of the collective attack can be imagined with toes.

However, the two of them just saluted each other and made this almost crazy decision together.

Your subordinates' lives are given to me, and my life is given to you.

Your life belongs to you, but I will use my life to protect your return.

No one said it, but both of them understood it.

Two Chinese soldiers who had only met a few times were connected with such an extraordinary trust.

At that moment, Tang Dao might have truly forgotten his past time and space.

He is the Chinese army, and those standing around him are all comrades, not predecessors.

Many years later, someone asked the army captain who participated in this night attack what impressed him most about the Battle of Songjiang.

The army captain said without hesitation that he went out of the city to attack the Japanese army at night when he first arrived in Cangcheng.

Originally, before the Battle of Songjiang, the most famous night attack in China was the Xifengkou Night Battle during the Great Wall War of Resistance. The 29th Army assembled an infantry regiment, all of whom rushed to the Japanese position under the cover of night with thick-backed machetes in hand. In the bloody fight, nearly a thousand Japanese invaders were killed.

In the future, with the extensive use of guerrilla warfare in enemy-occupied areas, night raids will be commonplace. They will sneak attack Japanese garrisons, sneak into Japanese artillery towers, and even if the Japanese walk out of the artillery tower to take a shit, they will have to be on guard against someone shooting from behind.

Large-scale, small-scale, and even single-soldier night raids are everywhere in the great Patriotic War.

The army captain experienced the brutal Battle of Songjiang, and later participated in countless battles of all sizes. This battle still left a deep impression on him. After decades of wind and rain, the situation that happened that night still seems to be vivid.

However, the reason why he was so impressed was not because it was tragic enough.

Rather, it was a jaw-dropping victory.

The Japanese army on the opposite side neglected it.

If the dead ghost Jiro Wakiita was here, he would definitely remind the unlucky child Shigeharu Suematsu that the guy opposite you is a night owl, and the more late it gets, the more energetic he becomes.

Unfortunately, he died.

Shigeharu Suematsu had no idea who the Chinese commander opposite him was. Even until now, the intelligence about the Chinese defenders transferred from the Expeditionary Force Headquarters was only the number of the 63rd Army. He only knew that a Chinese Army Lieutenant General led more than 30,000 troops to enter Songjiang.

For the rest, the Japanese intelligence personnel did not pass on too much detailed information.

Therefore, people like Guo Rudong and the crippled 43rd Army, as well as Tang Dao and his Sihangying, were not on Shigeharu Suematsu's command table at all.

Or, even if he knew, he would not care.

A crippled infantry division and an infantry battalion with no more than a few hundred soldiers, what use is there in such a battlefield with more than tens of thousands of people fighting!

But!

If the egg is frozen and hardened, it can also make a big lump when it hits someone's forehead.

Therefore, all the officers and soldiers of the 114th Division from Shigeharu Suematsu who did not understand this truth, even if they suffered a loss in front of the indestructible iron lump of Cangcheng, did not prepare for the Chinese defenders.

No one thought that there would be Chinese who would be so bold as to send a small force to break into their position where a large army was gathered.

Facing the 3,000-meter-long front line of Cangcheng and Songjiang residential areas, except for the temporary field trenches, there was no barbed wire set up as usual.

The mobile sentries were only two groups of six people sent by each infantry squadron to patrol in front of their own trenches in a symbolic shift.

That means that there were only three sentries on the 300-meter-long position.

How to describe this thing?

It's like Wu Dalang was on guard against Pan Jinlian's derailment, patrolling outside the main gate of the community every day, but he didn't know that the modern community had four gates in the east, south, west and north. If there were East 1 and South 2, Ximen Qing would have an infantry company if he went in.
