Rise From Eight Hundred

In fact, using a light machine gun as a sniper rifle was not Tang Dao's own creation.

Whether in World War II or the future battle of the northern ice field, there are examples of soldiers using light machine guns or even heavy machine guns as sniper rifles to hit long-distance targets.

Not to mention 700 meters, there are even records of hitting at 1,000 meters.

The Czech light machine gun has a standard range of up to 1,500 meters, and an effective range of up to 900 meters. The former is the theoretical value of the bullet being able to maintain a straight trajectory, and the latter is the effective killing distance tested on the test site.

That means that as long as the shooter can see the target far enough and has a strong enough shooting skill, theoretically, it is completely possible to kill a target 900 meters away or even farther with a bullet that maintains a straight trajectory.

However, this is only theoretical after all. For an excellent machine gun shooter, being able to suppress the enemy with firepower at a distance of 400 meters is already very impressive.

Like Tang Dao, operating a light machine gun and killing the opponent at a distance of 700 meters, at least for the two Chinese elites at this time, it is absolutely subverting their common sense.

"Sir, what if the Japanese still don't give up and want to dig up the remains of the brothers?" Peng Chong licked his dry lips and asked subconsciously.

"If the booby trap buried under the two-meter-deep soil layer is detonated, I will ask the command to use heavy mortars to concentrate fire on the coordinates. If the Japanese army thinks that it is worthwhile to exchange living people for corpses, then do it!" Tang Dao looked towards Cangcheng with a cold and chilling look.

"Moreover, once they do so, I will persuade the two commanders to send a telegram to the whole country and the Japanese Tenth Army in a clear code. My entire Songjiang army will not take any prisoners of war against the Kunisaki Detachment, but if there is one person and one gun, he will definitely take the dog head of Kunisaki. This life, never stop!"

The two took a breath of cold air. The lieutenant colonel in front of them was really cruel. Although the Japanese also killed prisoners of war, they never did it in a big way and had to hide it. This guy touched his reverse scale and directly sent a code to the whole country and the whole army to send a telegram to not keep any prisoners of war. That almost meant that the entire 30,000 troops in Songjiang had to fight a "If you don't kill me, I will definitely kill you" battle with the Tenth Army.

Because the bodies of comrades buried on the battlefield will not be disturbed by the enemy.

Is it worth it?

Worth it! After thinking carefully, the two were surprised to find that they were extremely inclined to the decision of the lieutenant colonel, even if they knew that they would die after making such a decision.

Yes, whether you are alive or dead, you are my comrade! You protect the country, I protect you, even if you are already asleep.

This is not the Tang Dao passing on some ideas to these soldiers, but their gradual awakening on the battlefield.

Once comrades, brothers for life, no matter life or death, we all depend on each other!

I am not afraid of death, nor am I afraid of dying in a foreign land, because I have brothers, and I can finally go home.

Such an army is the most terrifying army.

In the future, China will solemnly welcome back the remains of its comrades even if it takes decades, precisely because of this concept.

Fortunately, the Japanese did not give Tang Dao such a decisive declaration.

Major Chaoyang Imago, who wanted to make up for his mistakes, died. Although the 7.96 caliber bullet of the Czech light machine gun did not accurately smash his heart into pieces, it broke his aorta, leaving no time for the medical soldiers to rescue him. He died in just one minute.

The two Japanese captains who rushed over looked at each other and were a little happy. At least no one was crazy enough to ask them to dig up Chinese corpses all over the world.

That was completely useless.

It was not that they had any psychological burden to damage the corpses of the Chinese to vent their anger, but from a tactical point of view, if they had that time, they might as well dig enough bullet holes like the Chinese.

The fierce artillery fire from the Chinese last time frightened the Japanese army. Although they didn't have heavy artillery, the mountain artillery and mortars alone could easily deal with hundreds of them. Especially since they were in such an obvious coordinate in Cangcheng, they were unwilling to become victims of the Chinese artillery fire.

Therefore, the military order issued by the dead ghost Chaoyang Jinwu became a thing of the past, and the Japanese troops stationed in Cangcheng mainly focused on building fortifications.

Inadvertently, this group of Japanese remnants also avoided the fierce artillery retaliation of the Songjiang defenders, and their lives were much better than that of their dead ghost major.

Tang Dao, who returned to Songjiang City, had no time to rest. He had just said a few words to the colonel of the 677th Regiment who came to greet them in person, and then he received a military order from the headquarters, requiring him to go to the headquarters immediately to report the battle situation in Cangcheng.

"Brother, don't worry, I'll arrange it for you here!" The army colonel forced a smile and patted Tang Dao on the shoulder, and asked several colonels and lieutenants who returned from Cangcheng, including Peng Chong, to follow.

In his opinion, this battle of Cangcheng was not a great victory, but it was definitely a successful defensive battle. Tang Dao and these officers could get some rewards, which was also some benefits that the army colonel could strive for for his subordinates who survived by chance.

However, the reality was somewhat different from their imagination.

The officers who had achieved a good record not only did not receive the treatment of being welcomed out of the gate by the commander, but after the captain guard company commander in charge of vigilance ran to report to the headquarters, he came out after several minutes, and did not allow several colonels and lieutenants accompanying Tang Dao to enter, only allowing him to enter the headquarters to report the battle situation in Cangcheng.

The rest of the people were waiting outside the headquarters.

Tang Dao could only enter the yard alone and walk to the small building that served as the headquarters.

Do the two lieutenant generals think that I suffered too much casualties on the front line of Cangcheng? Even though Tang Dao was in a tough mood, he was a little uneasy when he saw this treatment.

In the battle of Cangcheng, the defenders of the two infantry battalions in total were able to return to Songjiang alive, but only 398 people, of which 160 were seriously injured, and the casualties were nearly 80%. From this aspect alone, it can definitely be regarded as a defeat.

If the two lieutenant generals of the army used this to criticize him, Tang Dao would naturally have nothing to say.

The door of the headquarters was closed, and the guards on both sides all stood 20 meters away, saluting Tang Dao, who had not had time to change his military uniform, and Tang Dao returned the salute.

"Report!" Tang Dao stood at attention at the door.

"Enter!" A deep roar came from the inner room.

Tang Dao pushed the door.

Then, he was stunned.

The scene in the headquarters was really beyond Tang Dao's expectations.

There were too many people.

Tang Dao, who had accompanied the two commanders in the headquarters to study operations, had never seen so many people in the headquarters.

Two rows of people stood on both sides of the conference table, including the two lieutenant generals Wu and Guo in the front, all standing straight and looking at Tang Dao.

Or rather, the two lieutenant generals were not the focus, all standing in a row were generals.

Army commanders, army chiefs of staff, division commanders, brigade commanders, including Wang Gongyu, the commander of the security group who was sitting at the end, at least 15 generals, known or unknown to Tang Dao, stood in a row on both sides of the conference table.

Even Tang Dao was a little confused at this moment.

What was going on?

After a long while, Tang Dao stood at attention and raised his hand to salute: "Hello, officers!"

All the people present were generals, and Tang Dao felt that if he saluted and called them one by one, he would probably die of exhaustion, so it would be better to address them uniformly.

However, Tang Dao did not wait for the return salute as he imagined, and no one came.

No martial ethics? I am also a lieutenant colonel in the army! Tang Dao, who did not wait for the return salute, simply did not put down his hand.

"Let me tell you! Brother Guo! After seeing this scene, this kid will definitely sneak in and make a big pot, and will never come alone." Lieutenant General Wu looked at Lao Guo beside him, with a faint smile on his face.

"You are still the commander-in-chief. You have understood this kid's temper thoroughly in less than two days. Lao Guo is ashamed of himself!" Lieutenant General Guo also laughed.

"How about it, Deputy Director Tang, are you satisfied with the welcome ceremony prepared by Lao Wu for you?" Lieutenant General Wu turned his eyes back to Tang Dao, who was still performing a standard military salute.

Tang Dao did not look sideways.

He looked like he would keep this posture until he died if he did not return the salute.

Lieutenant General Wu could not help but laugh.

Looking back at the two rows of lieutenant generals and major generals standing upright, the smile on his face disappeared, and he growled in a deep voice: "In the battle of Cangcheng, our frontline soldiers in Cangcheng were not afraid of life and death, and killed countless enemies. Everyone, how should we, the generals, wait for it?"

"Stand at attention!" Liu Yuqing strode forward.

"Bang!" The generals stood at attention.

"Salute!"

All the generals present, including the two commanders, raised their right hands and saluted.

Tang Dao's blood was boiling.

He knew that this was not a salute from the generals to him personally, but a tribute to all the defenders of Cangcheng.

This was the general's recognition of the soldiers' sacrifice and the highest honor for the soldiers.

This welcome ceremony was really too grand.
