Rise From Eight Hundred

7 kilometers away from the Yellow River Iron Bridge, the new Eighth Division Headquarters!

In the dim light of the lanterns, a middle-aged soldier in his early forties was pacing back and forth in a farmhouse with an anxious face.

Hearing the sound of horse hooves outside and the sound of guards standing at attention and saluting outside, the middle-aged soldier hurriedly walked out of the hut and entered the courtyard. When he saw his colleagues pushing the door in, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet them: "My Chief of Staff, You are back."

"Master, why bother to welcome you from afar? The weather in Henan Province is really as cold as a knife!" The soldiers who were greeted quickly performed a military salute. The bright smile on their faces did not look like they were frozen while riding horses in the winter. superior.

"Yes, yes, come in and warm up! Thank you for your hard work, Chief of Staff." The middle-aged soldier simply returned the salute and pulled the soldier into the room.

"How's it going? What do the Four Elements Regiment say? If they don't blow up this iron bridge, don't blame me and the New Eighth Division for not being benevolent and righteous, but they will directly issue a bridge blowing order to our own engineer company, these crazy people They are really crazy. They dare not listen to the orders of the theater headquarters. If I didn't know that they killed many Japanese on the Songhu front line and in Guangde, I would have thought that these crazy people were going to surrender to the Japanese. "As soon as he entered the house, Zhong said. The young soldier couldn't wait to ask his colleagues.

As the commander of the New Eighth Division, I have been anxious since the afternoon. Telegrams have been coming from the front line. As early as yesterday, an infantry regiment of the Japanese army arrived more than 40 kilometers away from the Iron Bridge of the Yellow River. If they marched in a hurry, they might be able to reach the Yellow River in one day. What's even more chilling is that the Japanese infantry regiment left the camp early in the morning and is still missing.

The commander of the theater also got this information, so at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, he sent a telegram to the Si Xing Regiment who had applied to blow up the iron bridge. However, he waited eagerly from the afternoon until dusk. It was already 10 o'clock in the night, and there was no sign of the Si Xing Regiment. The slightest movement.

That's an infantry regiment! Not to mention his small Four Lines Regiment, even his New Eighth Division with nearly 10,000 soldiers was not sure of victory, even across the mighty Yellow River.

Yes, of course he was confident of holding on to the Yellow River's natural chasm, but what would happen if the iron bridge was not blown up and the Japanese troops came over the bridge?

But he, the division commander, is in a hurry and has a DER to use. The Si Xing Regiment is first of all affiliated with the Sichuan Army and cannot compete with the Guizhou Army. Moreover, the Si Xing Regiment was organized and named by the elder himself, so he dares to With the confidence of the anti-war zone command, he, the division commander, really couldn't do anything about it.

Therefore, he had no choice but to send electricity to the theater headquarters again and again, constantly telling him that the military situation was urgent. If the iron bridge on the Yellow River was lost, Zhengzhou would be in danger!

But the Four Lines Regiment was as determined as a bastard eating a weight. Even though the military column carrying the last few thousand remaining soldiers of the First Army rumbled across the railway bridge, there was no movement at all.

He, the commander of the New Eighth Division, was forced to be as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. Not to mention, all the nearly ten thousand officers and soldiers of the New Eighth Division were in the trenches, and an infantry regiment was specially left to move towards the railway bridge. If this group of lunatics from the Si Xing Regiment were killed, If the Japanese attack, they will have to rush across the iron bridge to fill the battlefield and gain the last chance to blow up the iron bridge.

But that's an infantry regiment! If the 2,000 men and horses were thrown to the north bank of the Yellow River because of this group of lunatics from the Si Xing Tuan, it would make my heart bleed just thinking about it.

No, half an hour ago, this man who couldn't bear it any longer sent his chief of staff to negotiate with the Four Lines Regiment in person on his behalf. He had already made up his mind that if the Four Lines Regiment persisted in going his own way, he would personally The handwriting ordered the engineering company of the New Eighth Division to activate the explosives that had been planted and blow up the bridge. Otherwise, there would be no sleep tonight. I would probably feel like there were nails on the stool even after sitting for a while.

"Hey, that's wrong!" The middle-aged soldier only realized that the time was wrong.

The chief of staff in front of him had just set off from the division headquarters half an hour ago, a round trip of more than 15 kilometers. He was riding a horse late at night and couldn't run at full speed, so how could he come back in half an hour.

"Hey, Master, I didn't say I was at the Sixings Regiment Headquarters." The Chief of Staff of the New Eighth Division chuckled.

"The Japanese army has arrived?" The middle-aged soldier's face was horrified.

It's not that he, as a senior commander, has lost his powers of observation. If the Japanese army really arrived, how could he, the chief of staff, still laugh? Rather, he has always been afraid of this. This chief of staff was brought over by him when he took office as the commander of the new Eighth Division three years ago. He is an absolute confidant and will never disobey his military orders easily.

"The Japanese troops haven't arrived yet, but there are a lot of refugees. I saw thousands of them along the way!" the New Eighth Division Chief of Staff continued with a smile.

"Then what do you want to express by Jingmin? This is not the time for you and my brothers to chat and laugh at the wine table. If you are not careful, I am afraid that you and I will not have the chance to join the wine table." A hint of anger emerged in the middle-aged soldier's eyes. .

"Master, don't worry! I didn't go to the Sixings Regiment Headquarters, but I brought the real leader here to you." The chief of staff of the New Eighth Division looked relaxed.

"What do you mean?" The middle-aged soldier was stunned.

"I just arrived two kilometers near the railway bridge when I encountered a group of cavalry. Master, you were right about the definition of the Four Lines Regiment. Good guy, they immediately formed an attack formation. As soon as more than a dozen flashlights came over, they saw our military uniforms. Instead of letting down their guard, they asked us which part we belonged to. It was not enough to give us our serial number. They also asked me, the one with the highest military rank, to show them my ID for inspection!”

"What a fool, a small infantry regiment, so crazy! Don't embarrass our new Eighth Division." The middle-aged soldier frowned, anger welling up in his eyes.

Needless to say, this group of people must be the real owners mentioned by the chief of staff. Who else besides the Four Elements Group? If they are Japanese, how can he, the chief of staff, come back?

"I am a major general in the army, how can I eat his pot? What's more, I am worried that they are Japanese!" The new chief of staff of the Eighth Division shook his head, with a trace of bitterness hidden in his eyes. "But these bastards from the Si Xing Regiment are really ruthless. Not only do they have more than fifty cavalry, but they also carry machine guns and mortars. When they saw the toughness of our army, although they did not attack immediately, they quickly set up a defensive formation. , the cavalry dispersed in all directions, leaving one with machine guns and mortars set up. I am leading a cavalry platoon of less than 30 people. Whether we advance or retreat, we must be within their firepower range!"

"Asshole!" The middle-aged soldier slapped the table next to him angrily.

It's true that his New Eighth Division is a miscellaneous division, but he can't let others bully him like this, especially if it's his own New Eighth Division's defense zone.

"Teacher, don't worry. The Four Elements Group is crazy, but this is wartime after all. It's right to be cautious when you can't distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. Fortunately, no matter how the Japanese can't speak our Chinese, Sichuan and Guizhou But he couldn't learn the local accent so authentically. After the other party sent a cavalry second lieutenant to our side to communicate, they found out that I was the chief of staff of the New Eighth Division. The commander Tang who was accompanying the army politely stepped forward. It's not that arrogant to salute me!" the new Chief of Staff of the Eighth Division explained quickly.

This not only gave a kind word to the Four Elements Regiment, but also meant to find a place for himself and his division. After all, he was a dignified division chief of staff who brought a platoon of cavalry with lances when he went out. Tang Dao, a colonel commander, travels with dozens of cavalry, as well as machine guns and mortars. This is really infuriating!

"You mean, Tang Dao? Why did he bring dozens of cavalry to our new eighth division defense area in the middle of the night?" The middle-aged soldier immediately focused his attention on Tang Dao.

It is true that Tang Dao is too famous.

If Tang Dao was only living in newspapers before, his military exploits could be regarded as deliberately exaggerated by the propaganda department for publicity needs. However, as the Four Elements Regiment stayed at the edge of Zhengzhou City for less than half a month for repairs, Tang Dao's name But it was rumbling in the ears of the generals stationed in Zhengzhou for several days.

As a member of the Zhengzhou garrison generals, Jiang Zaizhen was very aware of the air-to-air ambush battle that Tang Dao personally commanded. Using the Four Lines Regiment as bait, he assembled 80% of the air defense equipment of the first theater. In the battle, the Japanese soldiers were able to knock down more than ten Japanese planes without exaggeration. He also accompanied Commander Cheng to see the wreckage of several Japanese planes in person.

He also knew some inside information about Tang Dao's assassination in Zhengzhou City. According to the confessions of the captured Japanese intelligence officers, the assassination was planned by the intelligence agency of the North China Front Army. The people sent were all the best among the best. The original target was the commander of the theater. , I don’t know why but because Tang Dao entered the city, he temporarily changed his target.

Such a well-planned assassination could have easily tricked the commander of the war zone, but Tang Dao not only escaped with several women, but also killed several Japanese ninja masters.

Such a person, let alone a regiment commander, is a battalion commander or company commander. As a division commander, Jiang Zaizhen would never ignore him. This is why even if he was so anxious that he wanted to hit the wall, he would not rely on his division commander. The main reason why he used his identity to pressure the Four Elements Group to ask them to blow up the bridge.

If it were another infantry regiment, he would not care so much. If you don't bomb me, I will bomb you. If you dare to attack me, I will kill you as a rebel, and the thorn will be gone, right?

"Tang Dao said he wants to come to you, Master, to do some business!" the new Eighth Division Chief of Staff said with a smile. "I don't think this is good! When he comes, Master, you can tell him directly that business can be negotiated, but the bridge must be blown up overnight, otherwise our New Eighth Division will do it ourselves. Where will he fall in love with the Four Elements Group? Where to go!”

"Discuss business with me?" Jiang Zaizhen paced back and forth in the room with cold eyes. "This can't be a good thing! I won't talk to him!"

"Um, Master, you are a guest..." The Chief of Staff of the New Eighth Division obviously did not expect such a reaction from his master.

Although it is normal for a division commander to refuse to meet with a regiment-level officer, after all, the New Eighth Division and the Four Lines Regiment are friendly forces.

"You don't understand Tang Dao, Jingmin. I see that all his battles are based on planning and then taking action. He must have figured out that I was eager to blow up the bridge. Taking advantage of this mentality, I will definitely suffer a big loss in this business!" Jiang Zaizhen, who was in his early years, was like an old fox who had read everything in the world, analyzing things in a methodical manner. "Then I don't want to follow his way. I won't even see him. If you want to meet me to discuss business, you go and tell him. Blow up the bridge for me first. I will hold a banquet for him and talk to him carefully. Otherwise, , as I said before, I will personally write in my new Eighth Division Engineer Company and blow up the bridge myself! "

"Ahem!" The new Chief of Staff of the Eighth Division coughed desperately with an embarrassed look on his face.

"What do you mean?"

"Teacher, on the way to the division headquarters with Tang Dao, Tang Dao said that you, Master Jiang, definitely don't want to see me right away. You insist on blowing up the bridge and then give me Tang Dao a banquet to have a good talk. ..." The Chief of Staff of the New Eighth Division had no choice but to repeat Tang Dao's original words in embarrassment.

Jiang Zaizhen’s face turned red!

This was good, he didn't show off in front of his subordinates, and Tang Dao guessed everything. He almost lost his face. Fortunately, there were only two of them here.

"Then what does Tang Dao mean? He didn't say why he had to disobey the order and not blow up the bridge immediately?" Jiang Zaizhen asked, frowning.

"He hasn't said the reason for not blowing up the bridge so far, but I have a guess!" The staff officer of the New Eighth Division let out a long sigh. "Thousands of refugees evacuating from Xinxiang that I met on the road basically passed through the iron bridge at 8 o'clock. If the bridge started to explode after the military train arrived, these refugees would definitely have to stay on the north bank of the Yellow River, waiting for The Japanese troops have arrived, I'm afraid..."

"Hmph! That's not a small thing, but a big gain. There are nearly 100,000 people in Zhengzhou City, and hundreds of thousands of people in the surrounding areas!" Jiang Zaizhen snorted, but his voice was much softer.

Of course the two Chinese soldiers knew that the refugees were staying on the north bank. When the Japanese army arrived, they only saw a bombed iron bridge. With the brutality of the Japanese army, they were afraid that they would vent their anger on the refugees and let nearly ten thousand Chinese soldiers on the south bank see this scene. I was afraid that this would happen. It is difficult to settle down in my heart throughout my life.

"Okay! Tang Dao and a group of lunatics are not afraid of death, so it doesn't matter if I meet him. I want to see how he tricks me. Anyway, when we arrive at dawn tomorrow, it's time to blow up the bridge!" Jiang Zaizhen finally made up his mind.

.

.

The first time he met Tang Dao, to be honest, even if Jiang Zaizhen was angry with Tang Dao because of the bridge bombing, he had to admit that Tang Dao was a born soldier.

He is 1.8 meters tall, has a strong body, has impeccable military etiquette, and has a sharp face. The military uniform worn on him seems to be an interpretation of the word "heroic".

But after the pleasantries, Tang Dao went straight to the 'business', which made Jiang Zaizhen's anger that had dissipated a lot come out again.

"Commander Jiang, your engineer company has contributed a lot to our regiment this time, especially Company Commander Bai, who is a role model for contemporary soldiers. However, our Fourth Army Regiment is short of engineer troops. I hope Commander Jiang can part with this engineer company." Transfer it to our department! In exchange, the conditions are up to you, Master Jiang! "Tang Dao is more straightforward than Xiaobai.

He almost made the distinguished teacher faint. He could rob someone if he wanted to. He had seen this kind of thing happen to people of all ages. Who wouldn't want a good soldier as a commander, but he had never seen this kind of person throwing money at someone. If you still have any conditions, can I let you exchange the entire Four Elements Group?

The commander of the New Eighth Division who was accompanying him almost dropped his chin to the ground. He looked at Tang Dao blankly. He really didn't understand how this bastard could kill so many Japanese just by risking his life?

This unscientific!

Jiang Zaizhen's eyes were gloomy, and he spoke after a while: "Captain Tang, are you using a different way to praise our new Eighth Division? This is just this way of praising people. It's really a bit novel. Not everyone can do it." I can understand it.”

This person has already given Tang Dao a lot of face, turning Tang Dao's incomparable noob into a complimentary person, except for making a subtle sarcasm to Tang Dao.

"No, I don't need to praise the New Eighth Division. Although your unit has not directly entered the battlefield against Japan, it can travel thousands of miles from Qian Province to here. Tang Dao firmly believes that the New Eighth Division will not let Qian Province thousands of miles away. If all the soldiers and civilians are disappointed, they will definitely attack the Japanese invaders!" Tang Dao shook his head.

These words sounded very pleasant to the ears. Before the two generals of the New Eighth Division could nod, they heard Tang Dao continue: "But Tang Dao's important person is also sincere. The exchange conditions are still the same. Any equipment, Commander Jiang, you can open at any time." !”

It’s over, this is a stupid guy! The two generals of the New Eighth Division looked at each other and felt that Tianling Gai was in pain.

They have been in the army for many years and have never seen any kind of people. The most difficult people in the world are those who are unreasonable and yet strong. A stupid young man like Tang Dao falls into this category.

At that moment, they even had doubts, was this the only way to fight a kid? Go up and do it, do it hard, do it hard, do it hard!

"Okay, this is what you said. Since you asked me to set a price, then I will take the lead for the New Eighth Division. My brother No. 200 of the Engineer Company of the New Eighth Division, even in terms of weight, twenty thousand pounds is Yes, I heard that your Fourth Line Regiment has a lot of artillery, so I will give you 20,000 kilograms of artillery from the New Eighth Division. If it is not enough, the artillery shells will also count. I won’t take the fraction! Zhen sneered and said.

This senior commander is a model of a lion's mouth. Not to mention whether his engineer company with 160 people weighs 20,000 kilograms. Even if it does, exchanging the weight of soldiers for the weight of artillery is a pioneer in China.

A 20,000-kilogram artillery piece, converted into an 800-kilogram mountain cannon, would be twelve! Not to mention that it is impossible to have a four-line regiment. Even if it does, if you exchange 12 artillery pieces for an engineer company, do you think you have cannons?

"We need artillery!" Tang Lengtouqing blinked. "It's not impossible, but there's something wrong with your weighing method, Commander Jiang. There isn't even a fat man in your engineer company, and the full load of more than 150 people only weighs 17,000 jins!"

"Okay, then seventeen thousand kilograms! Do as your commander Tang said! If there are not enough cannons, you can use rifles and machine guns to make up the number, and I will admit it!" Jiang Zaizhen couldn't help but feel happy.

"Okay, Chief of Staff Zhuang, do the math, four 37mm rapid-fire cannons, four 70mm infantry cannons, plus 600 rounds of artillery shells each, 500 Type 38 rifles, 15 Taisho 11 young machine guns, 10 How much does a Type 92 heavy machine gun weigh with 50,000 rounds of ammunition?" Tang Dao said to Zhuangshi Sannu.

"It's roughly around 7910 kilograms. If converted into kilograms, it's fifteen thousand eight hundred and twenty kilograms!" Zhuang Shisan immediately calculated the weight.

"Then add some more rifles and bullets. Anyway, we have to give Commander Jiang the weight!" Tang Dao waved his hand.

The two generals of the New Eighth Division suddenly saw stars flying in front of their eyes!

If this is true, then Tang Dao Juebi is not just a dumb young man, but a rich and stupid dumb young man!

Don’t even mention rifles and machine guns. Even with those eight cannons, Master Jiang could personally beat the gongs and drums to send the engineering company to the Four-Line Regiment!
