Rise From Eight Hundred

The Tang Sword is back!

With a bloody body and a Japanese command sword.

The cheers of the security battalion broke the dawn again, which frightened the Japanese army more than the previous rumbling of artillery.

Are the Chinese going to launch an attack?

Almost all Japanese troops in the city were on alert and entered a wartime state.

On the Chinese side, there was jubilation.

The first to receive the news was the headquarters of the 322nd Infantry Brigade. Major General Liu, who had also been up all night and was about to take a nap against the wall, almost jumped up and stared at the signalman who ran to the security battalion to ask why the artillery was fired: "What did you say? The Tang Sword is back? Did you see it with your own eyes?"

"Yes, sir, I not only saw Captain Tang, but he also talked to me and asked me to tell you that he didn't drink your wine and will drink it back tonight." The signalman answered honestly.

Then, he took out a knife and handed it over: "Captain Tang also said that if I exchange this gift for wine, I will never let you down."

"Hey! When did he become so polite? He even gave me a gift." The Army Major General, who was already smiling, took the Japanese command sword casually.

He looked down carefully, took a breath of cold air, and his eyes froze.

Because of the knife in his hand.

The Japanese army has a strict hierarchy. Not only do they distinguish the ranks of officers and soldiers by military ranks, but also their military uniforms and command swords. What level can match what kind of command sword.

There are strict regulations for the command swords of the three major ranks of general, lieutenant, and lieutenant, and even the navy and army swords are specially formulated for this purpose.

In Japan, all officers with a rank of lieutenant or above have their command swords bestowed by the emperor. They are a symbol of honor and status, and the general's sword is naturally the same.

The main difference between the swords equipped by officers at all levels is the handle.

The color of the inner side of the blade of the general's sword is gold, and the handle is made of ivory. There will also be decorative patterns on this layer of gold. The higher the rank and the higher the family status, the more exquisite these patterns must be.

The inner side of the blade of the lieutenant officer is red, the handle is silver, and there will be various decorations on the handle.

The inner side of the blade of the lieutenant officer's sword is blue, and the rank is one level lower, so the handle can only be copper.

In addition to the three levels of officers who need to be equipped with sabers, there are also more non-commissioned officers' swords.

Before Japan launched the war of aggression, non-commissioned officers in the Japanese army did not wear swords. Perhaps in order to boost morale and it was really needed on the battlefield, the Japanese government cast a large number of samurai swords through modern industrial means.

To put it bluntly, it is an assembly line product, which is essentially different from the sharp weapons that most officers at the level of generals and lieutenants paid for by hand.

Most of these samurai swords have aluminum handles, and many of them have the three-ring logo on the blade. The 38-cap bayonet also has the three-ring logo. In order to meet the needs of war, there are blood grooves on the blades of these assembly line products, which increases the damage in close combat.

As for the Japanese soldiers of a lower level, they were naturally not qualified to be equipped with sabers. They only had the standard Type 38 bayonets.

Major General Liu, who had been dealing with the Japanese for many years, would know these common senses about Japanese command sabers.

Originally, he thought that Tang Dao could give him a lieutenant-level saber, which would be good enough.

But he was wrong.

The command saber in his hand was actually red, and the decorations on the silver handle were even more luxurious, with even a fingertip-sized green gem inlaid on it.

This was not to mention the saber of a lieutenant-level officer, and his family background must be extraordinary in Japan.

When the Army Major General slowly drew out the knife, the cold blade was chilling.

The strong smell of blood that came to his nose proved that this knife had killed people, but there was not much blood left on the blade except for a little dark color.

"Good knife!" The Major General's face was full of joy, but his eyes were full of regret. "It's just that this gift is too heavy, Liu can't afford it!"

Yes, what made this veteran general so happy was not the gift given by Tang Dao, but that he almost concluded that this was at least the saber of a lieutenant colonel-level Japanese officer.

Tang Dao told him in this way that this trip was not in vain, at least the life of a senior Japanese officer became his trophy, and he gave this record of killing a Japanese lieutenant colonel to the 322nd Brigade, which made him happier than seizing a saber.

It's just a pity that Tang Dao's gift was too heavy, and this saber should be sent to the Songjiang Command.

"Go, send this saber to the command headquarters, let the commander and General Guo be happy. I will meet with Battalion Commander Tang in person to thank him in the evening." The major general, with a painful look in his eyes, handed the command saber to his signalman again.

The signalman didn't take it, and replied: "Sir..."

"What? Do you want to disobey orders?" Major General Liu glared.

"No, Captain Tang said that this gift is not for you alone, but for all the officers and soldiers of our 322 Brigade who fought a bloody battle with the Japanese army during the day, because this is the command knife of the Colonel Commander of the 13th Infantry Regiment of the 11th Infantry Brigade of the 6th Division, the highest commander of the Japanese army who entered Songjiang City!" The signalman suddenly straightened his chest and reported loudly.

"This is what Captain Tang said in person. He also said that he has gifts from the two commanders, which are more high-end than those for our 322 Brigade!"

"I..." Major General Liu felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground.

This is definitely a sign of a sharp rise in blood pressure.

Killing a Japanese colonel is already a shocking achievement, but Tang Dao is even more powerful?

He couldn't have broken into the Japanese brigade headquarters and killed a Japanese major general!

Thinking of this, the fact that the almost 40-year-old Army major general didn't have a high blood pressure was considered to be of good psychological quality. Otherwise, Tang Dao might not have killed a Japanese major general, but he killed a major general of his own side first.

Facts have proved that Major General Liu's imagination is not broad enough.

Fifteen minutes later.

"What? Tani Hisao is dead?" Lieutenant General Wu was speechless.

"Your kid killed a Japanese lieutenant general? Don't talk nonsense!" Lieutenant General Guo was unbelievable.

If possible, he would like to use something to shut Tang Dao's mouth. He can brag about anything, but this brag is really not allowed.

It's not that the Japanese lieutenant general cannot die, but this is a shocking record.

How many wars have China and Japan fought since the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895? The September 18th Incident, the January 28th Incident, the Battle of the Great Wall, including the July 7th Incident that has already occurred, and the Battle of Shanghai, which involved a million people on both sides, the Chinese side lost dozens of major generals and above, but what about the Japanese army?

Lin Daba, who was killed in the "January 28th Incident", was only an army colonel when he was in office, and was posthumously awarded the title of major general. The unlucky Shirakawa Yoshinori was assassinated at a celebration banquet.

To put it bluntly, no.

China has been completely at a disadvantage in the Sino-Japanese War, which is one of the reasons why the entire Chinese army is deeply ashamed.

If a Japanese lieutenant general is really killed, it will definitely boost the morale of the entire country's military and civilians, and the incentive effect it brings is far greater than killing a Japanese lieutenant general itself.

It is a common practice for various troops to falsely report the number of enemies killed and flatter themselves. As long as it is not too excessive, the theater command basically turns a blind eye, but this one really cannot be falsely reported.

If this is bragging, then not only will the reputation of Tang Dao who said this be ruined, but also the reputation of the 67th Army and the 43rd Army, and even the reputation of the Northeast Army and the Sichuan Army, will be ruined.

"This is true!" Although Tang Dao had expected the reactions of the two commanders, he did not expect them to be so fierce. "I promise that Gu Shoufu will never appear again, and I guarantee it with my personal reputation."

The two generals stared blankly at Tang Dao who was standing upright, and Tang Dao was furious.

"Two commanders, don't bother to reward me too much, just allocate 100 more shells to my guard battalion." Tang Dao cautiously asked for the reward.

"Ah!" The two who woke up looked at each other and spit on the ground in tacit understanding. "You are dreaming, you idiot!"

It's too much! Such a great contribution, not even 100 shells? Tang Dao's face was full of contempt.

Tan Tai Mingyue, who was responsible for recording on the side, pursed her lips and lowered her head to smile lightly, with curved eyebrows.

She didn't care how much Tang Dao had contributed. She was already happy that he could come back.

What made her happy was the atmosphere in the headquarters.

Although the two commanders were scolding Tang Dao, her female intuition allowed her to feel the joy that was about to explode in the hearts of the two commanders. This was the joy that the headquarters had never had since the Songjiang Battle.

Although they had won several victories, the sacrifices were also heartbreaking.

Only this time, they had made great gains and won a complete victory!

Of course, there was also the hero who was shining in her eyes and had hit a wall.

He should be punished and not hit the wall. He might have to go alone to assassinate Yanagawa Heisuke next time!

Although the reporter Tan Tai wanted to see the supreme commander of the Japanese Tenth Army die, he didn't want Tang Dao to take the head of a general in the midst of thousands of troops.

That was the only way to survive!

She was Chinese, but also a woman!

She was generous enough, but she could be petty occasionally!
