Rise From Eight Hundred

Gold digging pit!

This rather strange place name made the Army Major General stunned again.

Then he was happy. The so-called pit, as the name suggests, is a valley, which is the most suitable terrain for the "unscrupulous cannon" that Tang Dao just demonstrated.

But obviously, he was wrong.

This pit is not that pit.

"Battalion commander, we sent people to check the terrain here. This is a flood discharge valley. After years of mountain torrents, the valley bottom is wider and the terrain is not so steep. If we ambush on the mountain, the range of submachine guns and Mauser pistols is not enough. On the contrary, the Japanese army's Type 38 rifle can play a role. It was also used as a backup at the time." Guo Shouzhi asked subconsciously when he saw the place name.

The Army Major General grinned slightly, but did not immediately offer his opinion. Instead, he looked at Tang Dao to see how he would answer...

Although he did not deal with Tang Dao much, this guy was definitely a smart man and a ruthless man. Whether it was persuading Master Rao to sacrifice his life to buy him a day and a night, or personally leading the death squad to attack the Japanese artillery position at night as the commander of a battalion, it proved that he had his own uniqueness in both strategy and tactics.

At least, he would never choose a terrain that would cause trouble for himself but give the Japanese army a chance to play an ambush.

"Old Guo is right. From the perspective of a pure ambush, the gold pit is indeed not the best place." Tang Dao nodded.

"But we can't just consider the problem from our own perspective. You have to think from the perspective of the Japanese commander.

For example, we choose a narrow place with a width of no more than 50 meters between two mountains. People walking in it can't see the sun when they look up. It's eerie and creepy. Lao Zhuang, I ask you if you are the commander of the Japanese army, even if the military situation is urgent, what would you do?"

"Then of course I have to send enough scouts. Only when it is safe will I order the army to enter, and even, I will re-choose a marching route. Because I am here to get promoted and make money, and I don't want to die in the wild mountains." Zhuang Shisan answered without hesitation.

Tang Dao spread his hands, "That's it! If we hadn't fought that battle with the Japanese, it might have been okay. The Japanese were arrogant and arrogant. They sent out scouts to scout and left if there was no danger. But after the battle of Lao Shu Shan, they were hurt and would definitely put away the invincibility of the Imperial Japanese Army.

I can't pin all my hopes of victory on the stupidity of the enemy. On the contrary, I believe you all know how difficult the devils are."

So, I thought about it for a long time and finally decided to choose this place for the ambush. If the Japanese want to encircle our army, this is the only way they can pass. Moreover, this terrain will not scare the Japanese too much, and they will not have too much psychological burden when they enter it. "

Tang Dao was confident and almost proud, "This is called attacking the enemy by surprise. The more they think I won't fight here, the more I will beat them here. "

That is, seeing Tang Dao so confident, the Army Major General still couldn't figure out what means he would use to attract the Japanese army to attack.

You know, the Japanese army is not a chess piece on the chessboard that can be moved around at will.

However, before he asked, Tang Dao cast his eyes on him, grinning and showing a mouthful of white teeth: "Commander Tong, do you want to know how many explosive packs I have prepared for the Japanese army?

"How many explosive packs did you prepare?" The Army Major General was still a little curious after all.

Lieutenant General Rao found the army headquarters with the power of military merit, and then the army headquarters sent a telegram to the general in charge of the Jinling guard, strictly ordering the infantry brigade stationed in Wuhu to provide supplies, and only then did they gather 500 kilograms of explosives for Tang Dao, and then he brought the baggage troops to deliver it this time.

If we rush to make explosive packs overnight, we can make nearly 100 5-kilogram explosive packs, but we can't guarantee the quality.

"Hehe! Chief of Staff Zhuang has the most say in military supplies. Old Zhuang, tell me how many explosive packs we have now." Tang Dao pointed at Zhuang Shisan.

"Report to Commander Tong, after counting, our unit currently has 76 5-kilogram explosive packs, 25 8-kilogram explosive packs, and 6 10-kilogram explosive packs. If we add the 500 kilograms of explosives Commander Tong sent today, and take into account the losses, our unit can still rush to produce 96 5-kilogram explosive packs, or 48 10-kilogram explosive packs." Zhuang Shisan, a data expert, directly calculated the data to the single digit.

You don't know until you hear it, and you're really shocked when you hear it.

The Army Major General couldn't help but take a breath.

Before the 145th Division left, all the explosive packs, mines, and grenades were handed over to Tang Dao, but as a brigade commander, how could he not know that the 145th Division was basically almost out of ammunition and food in the battle of Jiepai Village.

Not to mention that there were only a dozen or so explosive packs given to Tang Dao, even grenades were only about 2,000, and each of the 2,000 people under Tang Dao’s command only had one.

How could Tang Dao’s independent battalion still have so many of these horrible things?

He certainly didn’t know how much “deposits” a person who loves to cry poor would have.

Tang Dao never had the habit of playing all his cards. He would always choose to keep one hand. Even on the first day of the Laoshushan blocking battle, which was so tragic, he didn’t say that he would give all the explosive packs, which were big bombs that would only be used as a last resort, to the three highlands.

When the 67th Army and the 43rd Army were divided, the two armies would evacuate to Jiangbei for repairs anyway, so how could he not be so greedy?

In addition to submachine guns, Mauser pistols, machine guns and other guns and ammunition, the most material he asked Comrade Lao Wu for was explosives.

Others don’t know about the ‘unscrupulous cannon’, but Tang Dao, the future little butterfly, has always had a dream of ‘flying all the cannons’.

Although he also knows that this dream can only be achieved by the Chinese Army that firmly implements the artillery doctrine in the next few decades, in this era, only American cowboys, Germans and fighting nations have this strength.

But oil barrels, aren’t they still available for a chance to be found!

Comrade Lao Wu didn’t know that there is a kind of black technology in the world that can throw explosive packs all over the sky and throw them more than a hundred meters away, otherwise he would not have thrown all the explosive stocks of the 67th Army to Tang Dao.

In other words, the explosive packs in Tang Dao’s hands at this time are the entire explosive reserves of an army.

How can it not be a lot?

“My goodness, that must be 1,000 kilograms of explosives in total?” The major general of the army calculated carefully and took a breath of cold air.

"It's 1,120 kilograms of explosives! After deducting the loss." Zhuang Shisan didn't care about the fact that the army major general was not good at math, and corrected it with the most accurate number.

Lei Xiong and Guo Shouzhi couldn't help rolling their eyes. This guy started to show off again, and didn't give face to the Sichuan Army major general.

"So little? I remember that I strictly ordered that no one could use a batch of explosives without my approval. How many are there?" Tang Dao was obviously not satisfied with the number of less than 200 explosive packs.

"Oh, if you add that batch of explosives, there will be 200 five-kilogram explosive packs, but you have to sign and approve it yourself, battalion commander!" Zhuang Shisan replied.

"Use it, use it all. After this battle, we have no place to use it for the time being. Why keep so many supplies?" Tang Dao said.

The experienced army major general almost had his legs weakened. Good guy, one thousand kilograms turned into more than two thousand in an instant. If it really happened according to Tang Dao's idea, the Japanese would cry.

Two thousand kilograms of explosives! If converted into 6.5 kg shells, that's 300. Just thinking about the result of such a round of bombing is very exciting!

Maybe Lei Xiong and Guo Shouzhi were shocked by the fact that their independent battalion still had so many explosive packs, and they were silent for a while.

The ridge seemed a little too quiet.

Until the major general of the army took the initiative to speak: "Ahem, this time I am leading the division guard company and the baggage company to escort supplies. Since it happened to be this battle, how can I stand idly by, Captain Tang, you see"

This is of course to share the merits of the war.

Tang Dao grinned slightly.

Seeing Tang Dao like this, the major general of the army blushed under the moonlight and explained: "My division guard company is well-equipped, all of them are veterans with more than 3 years of service, and will never drag your unit down."

This can't be blamed on the major general of the army for having a little idea. It's really that the prospect described by Tang Dao is too tempting. No matter how many Japanese troops can be annihilated, with this "flying thunder cannon" and so many explosive packs, this battle is a sure win.

Although the 145th Division fought tenaciously in the battle of Jiepai, it still failed to stop the Japanese advance. At most, it delayed the Japanese for a few days. If Tang Dao had not led the independent battalion to give Kunisaki Detachment a hard blow in the battle of Laoshu Mountain, the 145th Division would not dare to ask the army headquarters for supplies.

Then the merits of this battle cannot be missed. Even if the 145th Division only has one guard company and a baggage company participating in the battle, it is still participating in the battle, right?

"Commander Tong is too modest. Commander Tong, you want to participate in this battle, and Tang Dao is eager to have you." Tang Dao smiled happily.

His white teeth were almost dazzling under the moonlight.

Seeing Tang Dao's brilliant smile, the Army Major General was also happy, but he seemed to have figured something out.

Damn, it seems that he was fooled by this guy.

It seems that this guy drew a pie for the boss and waited for him to jump on his own initiative.

With these 400 men, isn't it more reliable than with 2,000 people?
