Rise From Eight Hundred

Finished a cigarette!

"Brother, the defeat in Nanjing was more of a man-made disaster than a natural disaster. Even the head of my army was unable to change it. You are too sad!" Commander Zhang sighed slightly. "The Japanese invaders thought they were using this cruelty to undermine the confidence of the Chinese army and civilians, but they did not know that they had done a stupid thing. This would only arouse the anger of the entire army. Otherwise, how could they have reunited 600,000 troops here in just half a month?"

"General Zhang, the tragedy of Tang Dao is not just the tragedy of Nanjing." Tang Dao shook his head, his face wooden, and said in a hoarse voice. "General Zhang, if I tell you that Tang Dao had seen this tragedy happen in his dream, do you believe it?"

Commander Zhang suddenly realized!

It turned out that what made Tang Dao sad was that he had foreseen the tragedy but was unable to stop it. As a soldier, this was naturally a pain in his life.

Although the so-called seeing it in a dream may sound a bit like a supernatural thing, for a veteran who has served in the army for more than 20 years, it can be attributed to intuition, just like he was frightened for several days before the North China Incident.

Sure enough, within half a month, the frequently mobilized Japanese army used the disappearance of a Japanese soldier as an excuse to enter Wancheng for a search, which eventually led to the outbreak of the entire war.

His thick eyebrows slightly raised, "Brother, you are a real soldier. You think about the country and the army every day. You dream about what you think about during the day. The Japanese invaders were so cruel that they did such evil things that were hated by both humans and gods. Even if they were not in Nanjing, they might be in other places. I believe what you said."

"What if I say that I saw you in those dreams that made me cry..." Tang Dao cast his eyes on General Zhang, his eyes like a torch, "I vaguely saw you, you were covered in blood and lying in a coffin, do you blame me?"

Tang Dao's words seemed extremely rude, especially here in China, where people pay great attention to auspiciousness. He is standing here, but you say that you saw him lying in a coffin in a dream after dying in battle. If it were an ordinary person, he would immediately turn his face and leave.

General Zhang is certainly not an ordinary person.

After a slight surprise, he finally understood why Tang Dao ranked himself before General Wu. It turned out that it was not because he helped him to add icing on the cake, but because he saw his own death in a dream.

This is very unlucky, but it is very consistent with his state of mind! Since he lost Pingjin after failing to negotiate with the Japanese army as the mayor of Yanjing, facing the overwhelming public opinion denouncing the "traitor", this ending is what he has been thinking about day and night!

With a happy face, he answered Tang Dao in a sonorous and powerful voice: "The fate of our generation of soldiers is nothing more than to die on the battlefield. If I can leave my body in the coffin covered with blood, it clearly means that I, Zhang, died for what I want! It is really the best."

It is so! Tang Dao sighed in his heart!

Many analyses by future military scholars show that in the battle of Zaoyi, as the commander of the group army, this famous general could have left his headquarters in the rear instead of following the army to the front line. Even if the headquarters was surrounded by the Japanese army's roundabout troops because of the intensive exposure of radio information, he could have left the guard battalion to fight and disguised himself to leave, but he personally participated in the battle with a Mauser pistol, which may have a lot to do with his determination to die to prove his innocence because of the Pingjin incident.

A patriotic general was labeled a "traitor", which was a devastating blow to him.

The intention to die had been planted in his heart half a year ago, and even lasted for several years. This was not something that could be solved by just enlightening others, and it could only be resolved slowly.

Tang Dao's face softened a bit, "Commander Zhang, Tang Dao just thought of the soldiers and civilians who were slaughtered when he saw the name of Nanjing again, and he had nowhere to vent his anger, so he said some nonsense. I hope that the commander will not blame me for Tang Dao's young age."

"Haha! Where did Commander Tang say that? Since you, Tang Dao, disobeyed military orders and led 100 soldiers to defend the four lines alone, but killed the Japanese invaders, no one in this world dares to treat you as a teenager, although you are really young enough, which makes us old guys quite envious! I only regret that I am old and weak, and I can no longer have the physical strength like when I was young, otherwise I must hold a steel knife and face the little devils to see the real thing!" Commander Zhang laughed.

"So, although you are young, you have made great achievements in the war, and the number of enemies you have killed is probably not less than that of old guys like me and Lao Wu. As soldiers, we don't judge heroes by age! We shouldn't call each other "Commander Zhang" and "Commander Tang" by their honorific titles. I am 47 years old this year, more than 20 years older than you. I call you "brother", so can you call me "Brother Zhang"? "

"Use my hometown dialect, of course! Hello, Brother Zhang!" Most soldiers are straightforward. Since Commander Zhang said so, Tang Dao will naturally not be hypocritical. He called out quickly and extended his hand quickly.

However, looking at the hand that the newly recognized brother Tang extended in front of him, the future nationally famous anti-Japanese hero general was obviously a little confused, "What is this?"

"Since you have recognized me as your elder brother, you must give me a red envelope!" Tang Dao said with a smile on his face.

"Haha! So that's it." General Zhang was delighted. No wonder General Wu called the Tang Dao "open mouth rolling meat, close mouth rolling meat". This is very accurate! However, he shook his head again and again, "You want a red envelope! If it were in Yanjing, I could still take out fifty dollars, not to mention a lot. But now, Brother Zhang, I have just been appointed as the commander of the 59th Army by the Military and Political Department. I haven't received my military salary for several months. I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. In addition to this pistol on my body, I can also pawn a few dollars, but my pockets are cleaner than my face."

"I'm sorry, Brother Zhang, you either want to stay and chat with Commander Wu, or you just want to have a meal with him!" Tang Dao smiled mischievously. "Poor Sir Wu, I thought you were thinking about our old friendship, but little did you know that food is more important than people."

Being teased like this by Tang Dao, an ordinary person would probably blush.

"Where, the food is delicious, but it depends on who you eat with, right! Brother Jingshan will not stick to such small details." Commander Zhang was much more free and easy than Tang Dao imagined, facing Tang Dao was not annoyed by such teasing, but replied with a smile. "Besides, just because there is no red envelope now, it doesn't mean there won't be one in the future. When will I receive my military pay, brother? As the saying goes, if the red envelope is placed on mountains and seas, all mountains and seas can be leveled!"

"It's okay to pay for free, but I'm afraid you are the only one who can say that for free to be so romantic!" Tang Dao was stunned for a moment, shook his head and smiled.

"The comment about making a penny is on par with Brother Jingshan's comment about you being a meat-and-knife man! It's concise and concise, but eccentric and extremely accurate!" Commander Zhang sighed slightly.

Then, the two looked at each other and laughed.

There was freedom and ease in this smile, but also helplessness, but more importantly, it was Tang Dao's admiration for the character of this great army commander. A general who commands tens of thousands of troops can honestly say that his pockets are cleaner than his face. No matter what era he is, he is a respectable being.

This smile made the slight sense of strangeness between the two disappear.

Amid laughter, the two of them sat back at the table in a good mood.

"Brother, aren't you curious about what call I just answered?" Commander Zhang started the conversation first.

"It's nothing more than the man from the 20th Legion personally calling you, Brother Zhang, to find out what you think of Tang Dao!" The corner of Tang Dao's mouth curled up slightly. "Just dealing with the 67th Army and the Four Elements Regiment has already made him scratch his head. If you add your 59th Army to the mix, his head will naturally hurt. He is extremely hoping that you will say it is just the right time. ”

"Brother, you are amazing, I actually made you guess 70-80% of the time!" Commander Zhang gave Tang Dao a thumbs up, but said with a slight smile on his face. "Then brother, how do you guess I asked the military department to reply to that person? If you guess correctly, I can agree to a condition for you, as long as my 59th Army can help."

Faced with such an attractive proposal from Commander Zhang, how could Tang Dao, a guy known as a 'little expert in taking advantage', let it go? He turned his head desperately looking at the indifference on the face of this famous anti-Japanese general.

"You won't tell him. It's up to you. Tang Dao is so doting and doting, so he should be given a severe lesson!" Tang Dao replied tentatively.

"Pfft!" Commander Zhang Da just had time to take a sip of hot tea and spit it out.

He looked at Tang Dao dumbfounded, "How did you know? Did you eavesdrop on me?"

"Uh!" Tang Dao was also stunned. "I just went against the grain and made a wild guess."

"I understand, Brother Zhang, this is the most typical way of doing the opposite. The more you want to put aside the relationship, the more you make him suspicious, making him think that after he does this, you are doing his thing behind his back. Little move!" Tang Dao suddenly became enlightened.

"Good guy, this can make you hit by mistake." When Commander Zhang heard what Tang Dao said, he knew that Tang Dao was not eavesdropping or thinking carefully enough to deduce his answer. He shook his head and sighed: "No wonder someone I often lament: Whether a person is successful or not, hard work is very important, luck is even more important! No one can guess 99% of your luck.”

"Hehe! Brother Tang, although your mind is far more mature than your peers, you rose up during the war and still lack the skills of the human heart. Especially these old foxes who have been in the officialdom for a long time, you still don't understand them very well." Commander Zhang chuckled. "For example, you said that he called me to ask me about my attitude to see if I, Zhang, was on your Tang Dao side with the 67th Army to weigh whether it would be easy to deal with you. Yes, but no!"

"Brother Zhang, please give me some advice!" Tang Dao looked curious.

Just as Commander Zhang said, Tang Dao has never been sharpened in a too high position in his past life or this life, and the people he has come into contact with are all straightforward soldiers. Naturally, he does not know much about the thoughts of these old foxes in the officialdom. At most, Tang Dao knew from some books that these old foxes' desire for power was far beyond ordinary people's imagination.

"Yes, that means he wants to deal with you. No, it involves a wider area. It involves the prevention of our Northwest Army and the Northeast Army represented by Jingshan." Commander Zhang's eyes narrowed slightly, his face An angry expression emerged from the top of the army: "Do you think that when the country is unified, the fighting between these factions will stop? If the whole country can really be unified, how can Songhu and Jinling be defeated?"

He is the commander-in-chief of the whole country. If he treats the army of the whole country well and treats all the armies equally, how can the generals of the various factions be wary of each other, so that the combat effectiveness is only 70 to 80% at best? "

"What do you mean?"

"That's right. On the surface, what he wants to ask is whether our 59th Army has joined forces with the 67th Army. In fact, he is testing whether our Northwest Army and Northeast Army have reached an agreement at some level. His teacher has been wary of it two years ago. That happens again!"

"Since he wants to know, then I will tell him clearly that today I am just enforcing the law impartially. Whether your Tang Dao is alive or dead has nothing to do with our 59th Army!" Commander Zhang sneered. "But the more I said this, the more he muttered in his heart. This is the most typical villain mentality. He is a villain, so he will subconsciously treat everyone in the world as villains, thinking that I, Zhang, am covering up! There must be an unknown purpose behind it.”

"Tell me, isn't it ridiculous?"

"Haha, he is indeed a villain." Tang Dao said with a smile. "Thank you, Brother Zhang, for taking care of me. Once you say this, at least in Xuzhou City, Tang Dao doesn't have to worry about being blackmailed."

"Brother Tang, Brother Tang, you are looking up to Brother Zhang and me. I dare say that even if I don't do this, that guy in Xuzhou City won't be able to touch you at all." Commander Zhang nodded the Tang Dao with his hand and said with a smile. "You seemed to be reckless and ignored the dozens of guns of his 20th legion and went on a rampage. In fact, you had already ambushed the elite gunmen! If there was really a conflict, I'm afraid you would kill the two most threatening machine guns as soon as possible. In such a short time At such a distance, the submachine gun will subconsciously choose the shooting angle to avoid accidentally injuring its comrades. This will give your 20 cavalrymen a chance to show off their swords. They must be the ones who die in the end.

Also, the 67th Army is not a vegetarian. Not only is a lieutenant general rushing to support you, but a guard battalion and a cavalry company are rushing straight to Xuzhou City with real actions. Prove that for your Tang Dao, the 67th Army would not hesitate to fight his 20th Army?

Chief Li was so furious that he called the 20th Army Corps Headquarters and scolded the guy. If he really dares to attack you, Commander Tang Da, in Xuzhou City, then I really respect him as a man.

However, just because Xuzhou City does not dare, does not mean that he does not dare to do so elsewhere. If the 67th Army is stationed in a place far away from your Si Xing Regiment, you still have to be more vigilant. "

"Thank you, Brother Zhang, for your concern. Since I dare to do this, I have already prepared for it! My four-line regiment has never been afraid of thousands of Japanese invaders, so why should we be afraid of him? It doesn't matter if there are many people. Without courage, they are just a bunch of chickens and dogs!" Tang Dao said proudly.

"Okay, you guessed it right, I will certainly fulfill my promise, just put forward any conditions!" Commander Zhang nodded.

Obviously, he still didn't understand Tang Dao very well.

If Comrade Lao Wu were here, he would definitely remind him that even if you don't say anything about Tang Dao, he will take advantage of you if you can. If you open your mouth, you will definitely lose a lot.

Tang Dao was a little shy and said coyly: "Ahem! I'm just about to ask Brother Zhang for help but I don't know how to speak! You've already said so, so I'll just say it straight."

With a slight thump in his heart, Commander Zhang, who was considered an old fox in the officialdom, quickly made amends: "As long as it's not money, you really don't have anything like that. If you need equipment, I can also support you partially."

"It's really about money!" Tang Dao was very direct.
