Rise From Eight Hundred

After the meeting, no matter whether they were school officers or lieutenants, everyone performed their duties according to their respective positions.

Company commanders who have new positions will discuss arrangements with their respective battalion commanders for squad and platoon leaders. Those who need to be disbanded and reorganized will go to the old unit to do ideological work and wait for notification from the newly established staff department after overall planning.

Tang Dao was only responsible for the overall structure of the Four Elements Group and the selection of department heads. The rest of the trivial matters were left to Zhuang Shisan, the chief of staff.

Zhuang Shisan couldn't refuse. Although this was not what he was good at, it was still a matter of being the chief of staff. If a regiment of more than 2,000 people needed Tang Dao, the regiment leader, to worry about everything, then this The battle can't be fought.

The officers of the whole regiment were busy without touching the ground, and the soldiers began to pack their personal belongings.

The officers and soldiers of the infantry companies who were integrated into the infantry battalion or directly renamed the guard company are still together. They can pack their bags and report to the new unit collectively. They may also be some squad members who were killed in battle, seriously injured and have not recovered, or were transferred. There are new platoon leaders, but they are promoted within their respective infantry companies. This is basically an unspoken rule.

But the same cannot be said for the artillery company, the fire support company, or the three infantry companies that were destined to be broken up. They had to seize the time to say goodbye to their old comrades.

Although they are still in the same infantry regiment, the size of the unit is large, and the stations are far apart. You never know when we will have to fight again. Once this battle starts, we can only leave the matter of life and death to God. .

Maybe this separation is a lifetime.

For soldiers who rely on each other for life and death on the battlefield, they may not care so much about life and death, but they value their comradeship very much.

Many people asked for leave from their respective commanders and went to the small town to buy some food with the temporary reward of five yuan per person issued by the camp headquarters after leaving the mountainous area a week ago.

Although the Fourth Army Regiment tried its best to purchase a lot of supplies during the march and tried its best to ensure food for the entire regiment's officers and soldiers, the basic requirement for the big pot of rice in the army is to be full and not hungry. Two pieces of meat is enough to satisfy the craving. It's delicious, but that's overthinking.

Even if you just buy a few pieces of pork head, fill a small bowl of wine, and call out old comrades who are familiar but destined to be separated, sitting together like this still has a decent sense of ceremony, right?

Tang Dao naturally understood the mood of the soldiers, so he did not control it too strictly. However, he only sent orders to various ministries. Each infantry squad could only send one person to leave the temporary station to go to the town to buy, and the newly established Military Law Office would arrange personnel. Patrolling the only small street in the town, if you encounter anyone who disturbs the residents, someone who buys by force, or someone who doesn't give you enough money, you will be dealt with by military law.

In this troubled world, the suffering of soldiers is nothing more than separation between life and death, but they can at least decide their own destiny, whether to die tragically or live humbly. The people living at the bottom are the ones who suffer the most. Most of them cannot decide their own destiny and can only drift with the tide of destiny. Life or death is in the hands of the powerful. .

The Chinese people have already suffered enough, how can Tang Dao bear to let them suffer another "military disaster"! He knows his group of leading soldiers very well. I am not fighting life and death on the front line just for you. Besides, I still have money in my hand. Why don't you give me what I want? When his temper gets angry, he grabs things and leaves the money.

That is not only a big boss, but also a manifestation of the comprehensive sequelae of war. Is irritable and irritable, which is the common trait of most soldiers who come off the battlefield.

Not to mention them, when Tang Dao completed his first mission, he killed more than ten enemies with a gun and a knife. During the month when he returned to China to recover from his injuries, he always had a saber under his pillow, so much so that once he fell asleep After that, the nurse tiptoed to change the medicine in his infusion bottle. Awakened by the alarm, he immediately got out of bed and put the knife on the neck of the little nurse who had turned pale.

If there wasn't a trace of clarity in his mind that reminded him that this was already a country, not a battlefield, the little nurse might have died.

From that day on, the hospital issued a rule that no wounded soldiers were allowed to enter their wards while they were sleeping.

War, for soldiers, has always been an act of psychological destruction and gradual reconstruction.

The only thing that can finally heal them is peace!

Tang Dao was unable to heal his soldiers at this time, but he could restrain them. The strict military law was enough to put a tight spell on them, so as not to cause any harassment to the common people.

After arranging all this, Tang Dao, who also saw that everyone including Tantai Mingyue, who was also the captain of the medical team, was extremely busy, and had nothing to do, decided to walk around the streets of the town to see if there were any souvenirs worth buying for Tantai. One bright moon.

Xia Dayu has basically made it clear that he wants to go to the special operations squadron. Even the special operations squadron does not mean that you can enter if you want to. The quota of 30 regular members and 30 reserve members is currently reserved by a few members of the special operations squad and the guards. The 40 people were filled, but Tang Dao specially called the two main and deputy squadron captains, Lao Hei and Gu Xishui, to explain the staffing of the special operations squadron.

The soldiers of the special operations squadron need to perform field missions individually or in small groups. If you want to complete military orders and come back alive, you must be the best among the best soldiers. If you want to be one of them, past performance alone will not suffice, you must be in the field. Selection is carried out on this basis, the whole army is selected, and then transferred after comprehensive consideration.

When Xia Dayu heard about this, he was naturally anxious. Tang Dao's military meeting hadn't even started yet, so he packed up his backpack and said goodbye to Tang Dao and ran to Gu Xishui's special operations team to find Niu Er, the big brother. .

The assessment time for the special operations squadron has not yet been set. Determined to become one of the most elite soldiers, the little bald Uncle Crow still has enough time to train. His physical fitness may not be as good as those tough older brothers and uncles, but he He can practice his shooting skills and make full use of his own specialties. Niu Er has always praised him as an observer.

Without Xia Dayu, Tang Dao could only take Erya with him as an orderly. After hearing Tang Dao's rare request to go out for a walk, Erya showed his white teeth and smiled very brightly. He even went to wash them specially. Face.

This made Tang Dao couldn't help but feel a little funny.

This kid Erya is good at everything, but he is a little too delicate, and his face is not dirty. He just goes out for a walk, why should he wash his face! Think this is Jinling Road and Wangfujing!

Perhaps, this is also a sense of ritual! Respect for shopping.

The town is called Louzhuang Town. Although it is said to be a town, in fact, in Tang Dao's view, it is not as good as a larger village in later generations. The total length of the old street that runs through the entire town is only 200 meters. The shops on both sides are because of the four rows. With the arrival of the regiment troops, business seems to have improved a lot.

Especially the shop selling food was crowded with many soldiers, making it a prosperous scene!

There were also soldiers with red armbands standing in line on the street. It was the newly appointed Military Law Office that had begun military duties in accordance with Tang Dao's order.

The director of the Military Law Department is a company commander named Yang Songlin who was transferred from the Sichuan Army. He is a veteran with more than fifteen years of military service. His military service experience even exceeds that of Li Jiujin, and even Tang Dao is inferior to him.

However, the infantry company led by this veteran company commander performed mediocrely in the Battle of Laojinkeng. Tang Dao later found out that because of his upright personality, he had long been displeased by Liu Ruzhai. Most of the veterans were transferred away, and nearly 60% of the new recruits were recruited.

Good guy, there are only 130 people in an infantry company, and there are 70 or 80 new recruits. Let alone this one in this battle, even if Tang Dao personally takes it, he probably won't be able to achieve a good result.

But no matter what, the battle didn't go well and he deserved to be punished. All the infantry companies he was in were dispersed and filled into other companies. However, this veteran company commander with rich experience and upright temperament was transferred directly to the regiment staff by Tang Dao. When the captain serves as the director of the Military Law Department, a guard squad is temporarily sent by the guard platoon to serve as the soldiers of his Military Law Department.

Now it seems that Tang Dao has chosen the right person. This person is very resolute and resolute. Although he has not officially arrived, he immediately carried out Tang Dao's military orders. The guard squad of the guard platoon has already put on red sleeve bands and went to the streets for duty.

However, Tang Dao's wish to go shopping and buy something for Tantai Mingyue was in vain.

Although he is wearing casual clothes, he is already strong and easily identifiable. Soldiers who have experienced the battlefield are extremely vigilant and will instinctively look at people who are not wearing military uniforms. If you don't recognize him immediately, He is a colonel and a principal!

They all threw the large and small bags in their hands to the ground in panic and shyness, and stood at attention to salute Tang Dao.

After walking only a few dozen meters, six or seven groups of soldiers saluted. Originally, there were still soldiers on the small street, speaking in their own local accents and bargaining with the boss. However, as soon as Tang Dao left, the bustling place became quiet. few.

Tang Dao seemed to be the most redundant person here, which made Tang Dao, now the number one member of the Four Elements Group, a little embarrassed.

But Tang Dao knew that this situation was not something he could do if he didn't want it to be like this.

He is just a small regiment leader now. Ordinary soldiers dare not joke with him casually. At least Lei Xiong, Li Jijin, and Cheng Tieshou can. But if he is promoted in the future, it will be even more difficult for him. Come less often.

This is Jianghu, the higher the status, the lonelier one becomes.

If you reach the top, you will be the only one left.

Grain peel

"Forget it! We can't finish shopping, let's keep shopping! You guys don't even want to buy anything. Erya, go buy some pastries and send them to Tantai later." Tang Dao sighed slightly and planned to turn around and leave.

"Okay! Sir, would you like to buy you some tea? The tea that Junzuo Guo gave you has long been gone." A trace of disappointment flashed in Erya's eyes, but she still agreed quickly.

"Forget it, we will arrive in Xuzhou soon. Then I will go to Wu Junzuo to save you some money. You should keep the few dollars you finally saved to marry your wife!" Tang Dao shook his head and smiled.

"Eh! Chief Tang?" Before Erya could answer, a head suddenly popped out of a private room on the second floor of a teahouse facing the street and exclaimed.

Tang Dao looked up and couldn't help but feel happy!

The pretty boy is not Tantai Mingyue’s little senior brother Fang Shiheng, but who is that? That handsome and striking face is still quite recognizable, but now this person's face is a little dirty, but it is very different from when Tang Dao first saw him half a month ago.

However, Tang Dao knew some of the inside story without asking.

Ever since he followed Lao Hei and Gu Xishui to experience the real battlefield, this student leader has completely changed as a person. He no longer talks about wanting to fight the Japanese army and die together with the soldiers and civilians of Jinling, and often With a dozen irons in hand, he used his evening break to go to the guard platoon to find Lao Hei and ask him to train them on their tactical movements.

Moreover, they did not let Lao Hei and the soldiers from the guard platoon work in vain, and promised to help them draw portraits and write family letters for them.

Lao Hei may have been pestered to no end, or he may have been tempted by Fang Dacai's promise to paint him a heroic and extraordinary military uniform. He spent three days teaching these student soldiers several individual tactical movements that are necessary on the battlefield, such as crawling forward, rolling to avoid, and how to throw grenades as far as possible and quickly hide.

In the next few days, Tang Dao heard that the student company had at least 50 people, and they were organizing exercises in the wild outside the temporary station.

Originally, Tang Dao just thought that these proud children were doing this for a while, and it was estimated that after a period of time, the enthusiasm would pass, so it would be fine.

Who knew that they persisted for nearly ten days. Looking at this person's gray face, you can tell that they did not stop training during the day without marching, and their perseverance is still quite sufficient.

Due to this stubbornness, Tang Dao not only felt less resentment towards them for only shouting slogans before, but even had more admiration.

That's because Tang Dao knows that scholars who only shout slogans will harm the country, but once these scholars really want to do something for the country, they will burn themselves passionately, even if they become a handful of ashes!

In the past, there were many scholars who practiced their promises in this way, and they had no regrets until death!

These people are walking on such a road with their heads held high.

"Commander Tang, do you want to come up? We will treat you to tea!" It must have been a long time since I saw Tang Dao again. Knowing that Tang Dao looked down on their performance on the battlefield, the handsome white-faced guy looked a little uneasy.

"Okay!" Tang Dao nodded.

He turned around and entered the teahouse, and Erya followed without hesitation.

As an orderly, if Tang Dao returned to the regiment headquarters, he could leave with confidence, but if he went to an unfamiliar environment, Erya with a Mauser pistol must follow him. This is his duty.

The teahouse was old enough. The stairs and the second floor were made of wood that was almost black and brown. When he stepped on them, they made a thumping sound. Tang Dao even worried that his weight would collapse the thing.

But obviously, he was worrying too much.

The ancients had their own wisdom. Although this teahouse has at least a few decades of history, the wood used is all high-quality fir. It is estimated that there was little shoddy work in that era, and it was very solid.

Walking into the private room, there were five people inside. Four of the boys stood up to greet Tang Dao. Only a round-faced, short-haired girl was still sitting there. She looked at Tang Dao who strode in with a slight frown on her lips, as if she didn't welcome Tang Dao's arrival.

Did he offend the female teacher who led the team? How could Tang Dao not know this teacher Xiao Su? With a quick thought, he knew why she was unhappy with him.

Wasn't it this person who came to him several times during the march, saying that he and his students were determined to fight against Japan, and asked him to take time out of the evening to give lectures in the student company, and talk about the current anti-Japanese situation from the perspective of a soldier, which was something that students like them who were usually in school didn't understand.

But Tang Dao was in a bad mood and busy with military affairs, so he had no interest in talking nonsense with these students. Not only did he reject her twice in person, but he even asked Erya and Xia Dayu to block her the last time, and they didn't even meet.

It would be strange if this person looked at him again and had a good face.

"Sorry, Commander Tang, Teacher He is not in a good mood because of the disagreement between several of our student cadres. Commander Tang, please don't mind!" Fang Shiheng made up a reason for his young lecturer with some embarrassment.

"Hey! I remember it wasn't Teacher Xiao Su?" Tang Dao narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Didn't I tell you, Commander Tang! My mother's surname is Su, and my father's surname is He. Now that we are no longer in school, I, He Zehui, have decided to change back to my original surname. Why? The majestic Commander Tang won't allow it! He is really too nosy!" The young female teacher with a cute apple face snorted.

He Zehui!

A well-known name just exploded in Tang Dao's mind.

Really, my head is buzzing.

He came to this era and saw the group of soldiers that only appear in movies, and he also saw generals, and asked for supplies from the biggest gangsters, but it was the first time he saw the future scientific masters.

What kind of people are they! Relying only on some drawings provided by the fighting nation, relying on hand-cranked calculators, relying on endless calculations at the desk day after day, relying on steamed buns and vegetable soup, they have created the most advanced technology on this planet.

From then on, this nation was not afraid of any threats. Whoever dared to hit me, sorry, I must return it as it is.

And this name is one of them.

But, at this time, shouldn't she be in Germany? She should have laid the foundation of her ballistics there!

"Are you the He Zehui who graduated from Huaqing University?" Tang Dao's eyes lit up.

"What else?" The female teacher looked proud.

"Teacher He, hello, hello! It's an honor to meet you!" Tang Dao took two steps at a time and took the hand of the future master who was at a loss, enthusiastically.

What the hell?

Not only was the person concerned frightened and his round face turned pale!

Even Erya was stunned. In her impression, a certain officer was not a person who liked women very much! Even if it was his lover Tan Tai Mingyue, he didn't act so eagerly to go up and hold hands!
