Rise From Eight Hundred

"This time, our Four-Line Regiment came to Eastern Shanxi. In addition to bringing a reorganized regiment to supply the 47th Army, we also annihilated 2,500 Japanese invaders from the Kunisaki Detachment in the battle of Laojinkeng in Guangde in December of the previous year. In February of the next year, we ambushed more than 3,000 people from the 2nd Infantry Regiment of the 14th Division of the Japanese invaders on the south bank of the Bihe River at the Yellow River Iron Bridge in Zhengzhou. All the equipment seized from the two Japanese troops was brought into Eastern Shanxi!

And our unit was fully equipped with Northeast Army equipment as early as January of the previous year, with no shortage of guns, artillery, and bullets!"

Tang Dao looked at the two giants of the 386th Brigade and said with a faint smile.

Even though Brigade Commander Chen and Director Wang had seen the world, they were all shocked at this time!

An infantry regiment just killed nearly an infantry brigade of Japanese troops? When did the Japanese become so fragile?

Of course, for Brigade Commander Chen, who had already obtained information from his teacher in Jiangxia Office, he already knew the battle record of Tang Dao and Sihang Regiment. He knew that Tang Dao was still modest.

If Tang Dao mentioned the three major battle examples of his battle in Sihang Warehouse, where he almost defeated a Japanese infantry regiment with 400 troops, creating the world's first classic defensive counterattack in which the main force of the enemy was annihilated with a 1:10 ratio, as well as the awe-inspiring solid defensive battle created in Songjiang Warehouse City, and the mobile warfare on the plains before Jiaxing Defense Line, which dragged the enemy for a week and annihilated the heavy artillery brigade that was the biggest threat to the Japanese, I am afraid that Wang Xiaoshan would jump out and say that Tang Dao was Xiao Niu and his mother on a plane together. If he brags again, the bull will go to the sky!

But obviously, Comrade Wang Xiaoqiang, who was already drooling at the corners of his mouth, said that he would never say that, because he, like his brigade commander, accurately grasped the key points that Tang Dao just said.

Yes, what shocked the great brigade commander Chen was not the known record of the Four-line Regiment, but what Tang Dao just said seemed to mean: I brought the Japanese weapons captured from two infantry regiments, but this is not within the scope of the 47th Army's supply, and my Four-line Regiment has also been fully equipped, so it does not need this.

Who will he give it to?

Almost the equipment of two Japanese infantry regiments! Even if only three-fifths were captured, it would be enough to equip a complete infantry regiment! Just thinking about this kind of beautiful thing can make the well-informed great brigade commander Chen take off on the spot.

Not to mention the drooling comrade "Wang Xiaoqiang", the words in his future memoirs may best reflect his mood at the time.

'At that moment, I didn't care whether he was the Sichuan Army or the Central Army, as long as he was willing to give these equipment to our friendly forces, I decided to call him big brother when I saw him in the future! '

Although Tang Dao's words were not so straightforward, if he said it like this, it would be a play!

However, whether it is Brigade Commander Chen or Director Wang, or even Comrade Wang Xiaoqiang, they are all people who have experienced the most brutal war years. Even though they are still young, their minds are much more mature than their peers in the future.

‘Suffering is a book that makes people grow! ’ Although it is poisonous chicken soup, who doesn’t want to spend a good life? But this is the fact. When suffering comes, if you still can’t learn to grow, then it’s basically gg.

After shock and hope, it is calm! There is no such thing as a pie in the sky, and Tang Dao’s shrewd appearance does not look like a kind person who will give it away for free. If you want to get this batch of weapons, you must exchange.

“Haha! I was just joking, but I didn’t expect that you, Commander Tang, would draw such a big pie for my 386th Brigade as soon as you came!” Brigade Commander Chen laughed and stretched out his hand, “Please come in! See if I, Chen, have the ability to eat this pie!”

“Please!” Tang Dao smiled slightly.

This military genius is just like the historical records, open-minded and sharp-minded, and can instantly see through his meaning.

But today, whether he can eat this cake or not has nothing to do with his ability, it requires courage!

Because he never dreamed that the Chinese Army colonel standing in front of him was an elite soldier of the army created by him and his comrades. No matter how time and space are misplaced, this elite soldier will choose to stand with him.

And those guns and cannons had already been defined when the Four-Line Regiment took the trouble to carry them for thousands of miles.

That was just the first gift prepared by Tang Dao for these ancestors. There will be more surprises later.

"What? You Four-Line Regiment came to Jindong, and you don't plan to leave? You want to stay in the north to fight against Japan? Commander Tang, you have to think clearly, this is something that your 43rd Army Headquarters cannot decide on your own." Even though Brigade Commander Chen was bold, he was also shocked by Tang Dao's blunt words.

At this time, whoever has a gun in his hand has the right to speak, but this basically belongs to those senior generals who have at least 100,000 soldiers under their command.

For an officer like Tang Dao who only commands a small infantry regiment, the consequences of violating military orders without authorization are basically a doomed fate. Especially in this unfavorable situation of the national war, the top leaders will never be stingy with the butcher knife for those who do not obey orders, otherwise, who will listen to them?

"Because the Japanese army is powerful, our Four-Line Regiment was surrounded by the Japanese army after entering Taihang Mountain, and we could only fight against the Japanese on the spot! Could it be that for the so-called military order, our Four-Line Regiment has to break through desperately, and finally save a few people to defend Central China? Then, our Four-Line Regiment still wants to survive." Tang Dao's face was indifferent, as if this was true.

Wang Xiaoshan really didn't lie to me. Seeing Tang Dao talking nonsense without blinking an eye, Brigade Commander Chen understood something!

"Please rest assured, Brigadier Chen, our 43rd Army Military Headquarters will report this to our superiors, and the 23rd Group Army Headquarters will also notify the Military and Political Department to temporarily place our Four Lines Regiment under the jurisdiction of the 47th Army!" Tang Dao frowned slightly when he saw this man, and hurriedly A considerate and perfect explanation. "Furthermore, Brigadier Chen, do you believe it? Some people will not be offended by this, but will be happy to see it happen!"

Brigadier Chen frowned even deeper!

Of course he knew what Tang Dao meant. Putting an elite infantry regiment in the hinterland of his 129th Division base would probably make some people laugh from ear to ear!

We are friendly forces and helping hands now, but what about the future? What happens after the Japanese are defeated? That must not be like a knife stuck in the belly!

However, Tang Dao's openness and honesty made people less worried. In other words, when Tang Dao took out the letter from his old father-in-law and teacher, Brigadier Chen was 95% sure. , this person deserves his trust!

Years from now, the 129th Division will receive 300 advanced students. This secret is known to only five people in the entire 129th Division, and Brigadier Chen is one of them.

But what this person never expected was that Tang Dao and the Four Elements Group were actually the escorts of progressive students.

The son-in-law of a calligraphy and painting master who has a deep friendship with the teacher, and a hard-blooded soldier who is willing to take risks to take progressive students from war-torn areas and send them to the 18th Army. When the identities of the two are intertwined, the teacher's last words are added. , it has to make people think a lot!

Therefore, Brigadier Chen Da, who has experienced countless dangers in his life, is not afraid of what threats Tang Dao and the Four Elements Group will pose in the future.

What Tang Dao didn't know was that the main reason why this master's brows were furrowed turned out to be...

There is already Wang Xiaoshan, and there is another Tang Dao who is not bad at all and is even better than him as a 'bastard'. How can he survive this day?

"You're almost convinced! But, can I hear the reason why your Fourth Army Group insists on fighting in the northern battlefield?" Brigadier Chen asked, stroking the wrinkles on his forehead. "You know, the mountains are no different than the plains. Supplies are extremely difficult. It's impossible to just reach out to the people to get them. Our 129th Division, 47th Army, and other armies have been fighting the Japanese while scrimping on food and clothing. Life has been so miserable. !”

"The reason is very simple. A large-scale battle on the frontal battlefield can easily number hundreds of thousands. No matter how elite the infantry regiment is, it is only a drop in the ocean. With a military order, it may become cannon fodder for the Japanese heavy artillery at any time! For In the war for our country, our Chinese soldiers do not hesitate to sacrifice, but their death must be worthy enough.

In the battle, under the Japanese aircraft and heavy artillery, our Fourth Army Regiment may only be a waste of a few Japanese artillery shells. But if they were placed on the northern battlefield behind enemy lines, these 3,000 men under my command, taking advantage of the geographical advantages and the tactical policy of "annihilating the enemy on the move" proposed by your army, would be able to earn several or even ten times the number of Japanese deaths. !

Moreover, I have reason to believe that the uninterrupted harassment war in the northern battlefield will become as good as the frontal battlefield!

The Japanese army wants to continue to suck blood from the occupied areas to replenish the army's consumption and even its own country. This is a wishful thinking. As long as our Chinese soldiers in the northern battlefield do not stop their swords and guns, they will continue to lose blood and consume. We are already terminally ill. We cannot build up without destroying, but neither do the Japanese. What kind of giants, how many years can they last based on the productivity created by a population of less than 100 million?

Even if they are wasted, I will also wear them to death! " Tang Dao replied.

If this reason is placed in the future, it will naturally feel like an afterthought! Because even children know that it is precisely because the struggle in the occupied areas behind enemy lines never stops, transportation lines are attacked at every turn, and supplies are burned and looted at every turn, which makes the Japanese army's already weak logistical supplies increasingly difficult and even more fatal. Unfortunately, the strategy of sucking blood from the occupied territories to replenish the country was not completed. As a result, after the outbreak in the Pacific, the Japanese island economy, which supported the two major battlefields at the same time, almost collapsed!

The first thing to be affected is steel. Many people say that the purpose of the Japanese launching the Pacific War was because of oil. In fact, since 1939, Japan has been forced to implement the second military mobilization plan, comprehensively reducing the supply of materials for all industries unrelated to military supplies. , and required citizens to implement ten major measures such as conservation, rationing, recycling, and practicing simple wartime living, and stipulated the implementation of strengthened use restrictions on 32 types of materials such as steel, milled iron, gold, silver, copper, and lead.

By 1940, the beautiful country found that there was no money to be made from the Japanese, and Japan's foreign exchange reserves and gold were almost exhausted. In addition, the signs of Japan's southward march were becoming more and more obvious, so it began to reduce its material exports to Japan.

Therefore, once the beautiful country finally announced the implementation of a material embargo, the Japanese became anxious, because the total steel production in the mainland, the Korean Peninsula and Northeast China was not enough to sustain the huge consumption of the war. This was tantamount to reining in the Americans. their necks.

For example, in August 1940 alone, more than 300,000 tons of pig iron, scrap iron and other materials were shipped from the east coast of the United States to Japan, which was almost equal to the total exports to Japan in the first half of 1940. These steels were exported to Japan. Arms production is of great strategic significance. Then, when a beautiful country says it won’t play with you, a scumbag, are the Japanese crazy?

I'm sorry, I've sacrificed my life and death to earn a little money for you, this evil capitalist. The crazy Japanese must not take a stab at the beautiful Chinese chrysanthemum that makes a lot of money! Anyone would probably do this.

Really, the arms dealer's face is so disgusting.

In addition to the ugly faces of arms dealers that drive the Japanese crazy, the Chinese battlefield also makes the Japanese feel sad.

On the one hand, the Chinese have never stopped fighting in the occupied territories. On the other hand, China is a big agricultural country. It needs food and steel, but it really doesn’t have them. It is difficult to meet Japan’s industrialization needs for raw materials and markets. need!

Being lagging behind actually turned into an advantage one day. The leaders of China and Japan may have collectively felt sad from that moment on.

For Japan, the huge consumption of the war made them more thirsty for steel, and they lost all kinds of scrap steel imported from the beautiful country. They could only target the Chinese occupied areas, so after 1940, the Japanese occupied The district even dispatched military police to steal manhole covers and dismantle the small train tracks built by Shanxi old men in Shanxi Province. By the way, the small train tracks built by Shanxi old men in Shanxi Province were really railroad tracks, not steel but iron!

Let's talk about it, why Japan, this little kid, was ultimately defeated, not because of the combat effectiveness of the army, but because of its weak national power.

This is also the difference between the era of hot weapons and the era of cold weapons. In the era of cold weapons, as long as there is enough food in the occupied area, the army can continue to fight, but in the era of hot weapons, there are no guns, no cannons, and they cannot be made of wood!

The little butterfly from the future has a very clear point of view, which is to constantly harass the battlefield behind enemy lines and consume the opponent.

But this view is the greatest affirmation for this era, especially for the 18th Army, which proposed this strategy and tactics but was criticized by some people as "escapeism".

"Do you also think that our department's proposal to eliminate the enemy during the movement is okay?" Brigadier Chen looked at Tang Dao with a mixture of surprise and joy on his face.

"Otherwise, why would I be here?" Tang Dao smiled and spread his hands. "More importantly, I don't want to leave yet."

"Haha, that's true!" Brigadier Chen laughed loudly. "Okay, tell me what my department needs to pay before you can hand over those weapons to me!"

"First, our Fourth Army Regiment must be stationed here!" Tang Dao's hand stabbed an area of ​​the Licheng map hanging in the 386th Brigade Headquarters war room.

"Here..." Brigadier Chen took a breath, his face solemn.

The location pointed by Tang Dao is called Dongya Town. It is located in the middle of the Taihang Mountains, with an altitude of 1,500 to 2,000 meters. High altitude is not a characteristic of this place.

The huge energy generated by the relative movement of the earth's crust has cut canyons into the mountains composed of hard red quartz sandstone and shale layers. The cliffs stretch for tens of kilometers, rising straight into the sky!

To put it bluntly, the biggest terrain feature here is that it is dangerous!

No matter who wants to attack here, they will have to pay a huge price!

If it weren't for the fact that the 108th Division was actively occupying various communication lines based on Licheng County at this time, and the 386th Brigade was using this to plan a war, the brigade headquarters might have been moved to somewhere long ago.

Moreover, as the commander of the main brigade of the 129th Division, Brigadier Chen knew better that the two chief officers of the 129th Division headquarters were also looking for a suitable location for the division headquarters, which was also an alternative.

In fact, in the past time and space, because of the terrain and the huge cave, this place became the location of the largest military factory in North China. For this purpose, the Japanese army organized more than 5,000 troops to launch a mad attack on this place. In the end, the main force of the 18th Army had not yet arrived. In this case, the Chinese soldiers repelled it with a casualty ratio of 1:6.

Unexpectedly, when Tang Dao first arrived in eastern Shanxi, he would fall in love with this dangerous and important place. Brigadier Chen's brows furrowed again in a rare way.

But soon, the second bait thrown by Tang Dao shattered his hesitation.

"I want this place, not that our regiment has to stand firm. Like your army, our regiment will break into pieces and attack everywhere to attack the Japanese invaders. I want this place because I want to build a stronghold in Shanxi Province and even the entire North China." , the largest military factory! Our department only has 3,000 people, so we don’t need so many weapons! And your army and our Chinese armies on the battlefield in North China will need it! Moreover, there will also be quilt factories and other military-related factories in the future! Move in!" Tang Dao said with a smile. "Mr. Chen, please rest assured. If your army is not satisfied with the price, you can take away this land at any time!"

Brigadier Chen...

Tang Dao's promise perfectly hit his biggest concern!

What does the 386th Brigade, no, the 129th Division or even the 18th Group Army, lack most? Is it military uniforms, supplies, military pay? No, neither.

It's a gun, it's a cannon, it's a bullet!

This is something that cannot be exchanged for legal currency, oceans or gold. The current 18th Army's military supplies all come from there. Senior commanders like them have a sense of urgency with a rope tied around their necks all the time. I don’t know when it will be possible for small workshops with hundreds of people to make dozens of rifles and thousands of rounds of ammunition every month to achieve freedom of equipment.

One can imagine the temptation Tang Dao proposed to establish a military factory for this military genius.

However, that may be the location of the future division headquarters!

Just when Brigadier Chen's eyes were blurred and he was still struggling.

"Moreover, I promise that within a year, mature technical personnel will be sent to support the arsenal of your army, and the required materials can also be supplied!" Tang Dao threw out the last straw that could break the camel's back.

As the saying goes, it is better to have your own father than to have your mother. If you can get technical assistance from Tang Dao and build your own arsenal, that would be great!

Then you are still hesitating! The Taihang Mountains are so big and there are so many dangerous places. Where can we put the division headquarters, brigade headquarters, and military factories?

"It's a deal!" Brigade Commander Chen took the initiative to shake Tang Dao's hand.

We can't let this local tyrant run away. Brigade Commander Chen has always been decisive! With the consent of the top general of the 129th Division, the two chief officers of the division will not give him face.

"However, let me say this in advance. If the factory needs lathe equipment, raw materials, etc. to be escorted, and if you need your army's help, you can't refuse. Of course, we will also reward you with real goods!" Tang Dao said in a good mood.

"In order to better fight the Japanese invaders, our 18th Group Army has an obligation!" Brigade Commander Chen answered with a smile.

Good guy! This guy has a much bigger vision than Comrade Wang Xiaoqiang. That guy only thinks about the 772nd Regiment's one acre and three points of land, unlike this guy, who endorses the entire group army.

Does that mean that as long as it involves equipment, the entire 18th Group Army can take action?

Tang Dao's eyes can't help but look towards Tianjin City, where there are two infantry divisions of equipment!

Of course, the one who was looking forward to the two infantry divisions equipped with Tang Dao was the brigade commander Chen.

He was waiting for the gift that Tang Dao mentioned!

That was the spoils of the annihilation of nearly 6,000 Japanese troops!

Compared with that, the little stuff that Wang Xiaoshan secretly sent down was nothing!
