Rise From Eight Hundred

Chapter 881 is such a surprise!

As long as this person agrees to give up the location of the largest military factory in North China, Tang Dao will certainly fulfill his promise!

“Erya, bring over the list of greeting gifts given to Brigadier Cheng by my group of four groups, and ask Brigadier Cheng to read the instructions!” Tang Dao, who had received one of the results of his trip, shouted outside.

When Tang Dao followed Brigadier Cheng into the 683rd Brigade, he expressed his request for a confidential conversation. Brigadier Cheng who brought Tang Dao into the war room naturally met Tang Dao's needs. In the war room at this time, only Tang Dao and Brigadier Cheng and the two of them.

Erya, who was waiting outside, ran in. The experienced brigade commander Chong Cheng stood at attention and saluted, and then took out two equipment lists written by Zhuang Shisan, the chief of staff of the Fourth Army Regiment, from his briefcase.

The list of weapons and equipment that Brigadier Cheng just held in his hand was also kept as a backup in the Fourth Line Regiment. It was not to cope with inspections by superiors, but to count the equipment according to the list and load it into trucks for transportation.

  Brigadier Cheng, who was always kind to the soldiers, this time was rare and he did not return the favor to Erya. His eyes froze.

 Frozen on the list of weapons Erya gave him.

It can even be said that Brigadier Cheng Da at this time is a sculpture.

Although he had already made a mental preparation in his mind, annihilating more than 5,000 Japanese troops and capturing more than 5,000 Japanese troops would definitely not be small, the gift given by Tang Dao was still a big surprise to Brigadier Cheng.

That’s not because Brigadier Cheng didn’t have much experience. Brigadier Cheng, who had been on the battlefield since his youth, fought beside a certain ‘principal’ during the Eastern Expedition. He had personally experienced scenes of hundreds of thousands of troops fighting.

 But at this moment, he was still shocked.

 Look at what’s written on this weapons list?

 First of all, it’s the cannon! artillery!

  4 37mm rapid-fire guns, with 800 additional shells; 4 82mm mortars, with 1,200 additional shells;

Artillery is the weapon that the 683 brigade needs most at the moment. The current 683 brigade only has 8 mortars in total. What's even worse is the lack of artillery shells. After a regiment-level battle, it can blast 60 artillery shells. The firepower support moved the battalion commanders to tears.

 And what about the Japanese army? Even an infantry brigade can use the two 92 infantry cannons it carries to blast out more than two hundred rounds of firepower.

Just like this battle of Dongyangguan in support of the 47th Army, the reason why the Japanese army dared to use an infantry brigade against two infantry battalions led by Comrade Wang Xiaoqiang was that the 772 Regiment with more than 1,300 troops could not crush the Japanese infantry of more than 900 people. Brigade, but they have artillery to help!

No matter how the two infantry battalions moved, the Japanese army relied on two infantry cannons and four mountain cannons to suppress Comrade Wang Xiaoqiang, who had always been stubborn, unable to raise his head.

 In the era of hot weapons, if you want to win with infantry alone, you have to sacrifice nothing but sacrifice!

This is also the main reason why Comrade "Wang Xiaoqiang" rarely boasted at the brigade headquarters about how heroic the 772nd Regiment was in this battle.

It has paid a lot of sacrifice, but did not fully complete the strategy of restraining the Japanese army to surround Dongyangguan. This is a shame!

However, no one can blame them, just like no one can blame the infantry division of the 47th Army that stood at Dongyang Pass for three days and nights.

The strength comparison between China and Japan is 12,000 Chinese versus 6,000 Japanese, but the artillery comparison is 30 Japanese versus 12 Chinese. Moreover, the Japanese mostly have 75mm mountain cannons, while the Chinese have 82mm mortars!

 The heavy firepower of both sides is not on the same level at all.

Especially for the Type 94 light tanks transferred by the Japanese army, unless the 82 mortar can hit the top of the tank very accurately, the damage caused by shrapnel alone will basically leave scratches on the steel plate!

However, this kind of little Douding, which is powerless against light and heavy machine guns and mortars, has become a nightmare for Chinese soldiers in the trenches. The iron knot staying 400 meters away can shoot at the Chinese position with a 7.7mm machine gun without restraint!

If there was a direct-aimed cannon that could penetrate 10mm steel plates, Xiaodou Ding would definitely not be so arrogant!

Now, Tang Dao personally delivers hope!

 Four 37mm combat guns, not to mention the Type 94 tank with 10mm steel plates, even the Type 89 medium tank can penetrate it! Even now in the mountainous area, the Type 89 tank cannot enter at all, but what about in the future?

The military genius general has long since set his sights outside the mountains. The broader northern land, just these four cannons, can make his dream come true a year or two early.

Even Brigadier Cheng Da, who was already filled with happiness, did not dare to look further down. He was afraid that the happiness would be too great and his head would explode.

Of course, that was a joke. Compared to Comrade Wang Xiaoqiang, who had to secretly cover up to two hundred rifles and ten machine guns, Brigadier Cheng’s structure should not be too big.

  20 Type 92 heavy machine guns, with 160,000 rounds of ammunition; (Brigadier Cheng’s face turned red, which is an obvious symptom of headache!)

 In Shen Laoliu's words: There is no wine on your paper, but I am as drunk as a dog!

Taken from Li Jijin’s catchphrase: If you ask what equipment is in this world, you will be told that it’s a shame!

39 Type 96 machine guns, with an additional 70,000 rounds of ammunition; 45 Taisho 11 machine guns, with an additional 100,000 rounds of ammunition; 80 50mm grenade tubes, with an additional 8,000 rounds of grenades; 2,400 Type 38 rifles, 240,000 rounds of bullets, 2,400 bayonets; 250 Southern Type 14 pistols, 25,000 rounds of bullets; 10,000 Japanese-made melon grenades;

 90 imitation German Mauser submachine pistols, plus 50,000 rounds of 7.63mm Mauser pistol bullets; 10,000 imitation German M24 wooden handle grenades; 1 German-made Siemens five-watt radio station;

It wasn't that Tang Dao immediately sent a glass of water intimately, which made Cheng Dajournal's temporary soothing and soothing. Tang Dao was worried about this heart.

 In the past time and space, this military genius seemed to have died young due to a heart attack. In this time and space, Tang Dao could not allow this to happen, even if it was nearly 20 years later.

However, seeing that Brigadier Cheng, who was open-minded by nature, was shocked by his list of gifts, Tang Dao still felt a sense of accomplishment.

 This thick leg, he must have hugged it in advance! If his memory is correct, the 683 brigade in front of him will have 14 generals in the future. If it is enlarged to the 921 division, it will be even more terrifying. The more than 140 general stars will definitely dazzle the human eye!

As for why it is the 921st Division, it is very simple. This gift is not something that the 683th Brigade can swallow in one go. This is nearly two regiments of Japanese-style Garde-style equipment. Unless Brigadier Cheng Da is brave enough to give it to his entire brigade, A change of clothes, otherwise, the two legendary bosses would have to accept favors from themselves.

  “Do the little devils also use shell guns?” Brigadier Cheng, who drank a few sips of water before calming down, asked the question that had the lowest IQ in his life.

His own explanation afterwards: I am used to being poor, and I subconsciously think that rich people must eat two pieces of cake in the morning!

"That's because I personally feel that the continuous firepower of the little devil's equipment is insufficient. I feel that it is necessary to strengthen the continuous firepower of your subordinates, sir. Some of the equipment extracted from the existing equipment of our department are somewhat lacking. Please don't take offense, sir." Tang Dao. He replied with a serious look on his face.

 Brigade Commander Cheng.

This was the first time in his life that Brigadier Cheng Da had seen such a caring comrade. If Tang Dao hadn't been wearing a dark blue military uniform at this time, he would have thought that this was a comrade from northern Shaanxi.

Having given away so many Japanese-style equipment, they were also worried that the firepower was not enough and they were specially mobilized from their own regiment. Who else could do this except those comrades who had chewed leather belts and boots together on the grass?

"Captain Tang, I can't find a suitable word to describe it other than providing help in times of need. Commander Tang, what needs do you or the Four Lines Group have in the future? It does not violate the national interests of our country or our military policy. This situation , I paid them all back." Brigadier Cheng took a deep breath and looked at Tang Dao with a serious face.

 He meant what he said.

Tang Dao knew that this was an upright soldier who made few promises. This shows how important this batch of arms and weapons is to him, and also shows how hungry the 683rd Brigade is for arms.

This period of real history has rarely appeared in military history. Of course, Tang Dao did not know how short the ammunition storage of the 683rd Brigade, which had been fighting continuously, was.

If Tang Dao hadn’t won a great victory in that battle and captured a lot of weapons, the ammunition inventory of the 683 brigade would only be enough to support another brigade-level battle. And this was only the beginning of 1938, just half a year after the beginning of the entire Patriotic War. when.

There are various reasons for this, the most fundamental reason is that the road in the Taihang Mountains is too difficult, not only for the Japanese army, but also for the Chinese army. Especially after the Japanese army occupied most of the transportation lines in Shanxi Province, it became even more difficult to supply supplies. .

  Heavy arms are far more difficult to carry than food. At this time, the biggest desire of the Chinese armies in the Taihang Mountains is to survive, rather than constantly seeking a decisive battle with the Japanese army.

Tang Dao, who later learned about this situation, had a deeper understanding of the will of the Chinese soldiers who were still persisting in the war of resistance here. They and the Chinese who were on the front battlefield were consuming their flesh and blood and the Japanese aircraft and heavy artillery. Like soldiers, they are the most admirable people of this era.

But now, Tang Dao has arrived, and everything has become different. The bullets in the soldiers' guns have been filled, and Tang Dao is looking forward to the scene of the Japanese soldiers wailing under the rain of bullets.

 The bullets made by the Japanese must be very satisfying to kill Japanese!

Of course, from the gleaming light behind Brigadier Cheng's thick lenses, Tang Dao knew more about the great role of this batch of equipment that was almost like pie in the sky.

 Because Tang Dao knew very well that if nothing unexpected happened, a war was already brewing, and this batch of equipment and ammunition was a timely blessing. so.

 “Haha, Chief Cheng said something serious.” Tang Dao shook his head. "Although this is a gift from me and the Four Elements Group to your department, it is not entirely true."

"How to say it?" Brigadier Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly, but his expression was very determined.

"Because this is a gift to the friendly troops who will fight side by side with our regiment, and also to the Iron Army who are determined to resist Japan. If Brigadier Cheng really wants to repay the favor, then he should give it back to all the friendly troops who have fought side by side with your army, and to this The world supports our people who are fighting against the Japanese pirates!" Tang Dao said.

After a while, a smile bloomed from the corner of Brigadier Cheng's lips, and he said: "Do you know how one of my division commanders evaluated you? I had doubts at first, but now I know that that evaluation couldn't be more appropriate. ”

 “How did you evaluate it?” Tang Dao was a little curious.

How many people in this world can be this teacher? And those few people were all outstanding figures in the world. Tang Dao was really curious about what such outstanding people thought of him.

 “Unparalleled general!” Brigadier Cheng said.

“Although your teacher has taught you, Chief Cheng, such amazing talents, I can tell you the truth!” Tang Dao smiled bitterly and shook his head. "His evaluation is actually far from my performance at this time. To use our Chinese saying: I'm striding with eight poles!"

"Haha! That person has wronged my teacher and is too modest! He said that you are a general who fought against the Four Elements, guarded Songjiang, defeated the enemy's heavy artillery brigade in Jiaxing, crippled the Guoqi detachment in Guangde, and fought with Shinpachi. The division cooperates to kill the 2nd Infantry Regiment of the 14th Japanese Division. You can be named a warrior just by fighting in one of the battles, not to mention your participation in the Tang Dao Battle!" Brigadier Cheng had a smile on his face.

"To say that you are unparalleled does not mean how strong you are on the battlefield, but that when you were defending Songjiang, you sent away the people of Songjiang. When you attacked Guangde, you also informed the people in advance to flee. Even though your home is destroyed, as long as people are still alive, everything will come back. to bomb the Iron Bridge over the Yellow River. I heard that you repeatedly disobeyed orders and insisted on waiting until thousands of people fleeing from Xinxiang passed the bridge before completing the mission!

 An ancient saying goes: Water can carry a boat but it can also capsize it! And our army has always believed that the people are like water, the army is like fish, and the army and the people are like fish and water!

 How can a soldier who can win decisively on the battlefield and keep the safety of the common people at heart not be worthy of the title "unparalleled"?

There is an ancient saying: Famous teachers and generals should not keep themselves in prison; thousands of troops should avoid white robes! He also said, "Moshang is as good as jade, and the young master is unparalleled in the world!" ’ Then I put the two lines of the poem together and changed them, ‘Famous teachers and generals are all taking their time, and the generals like jade are unparalleled in the world! ’”

What is awesome? This is awesome! In one sentence, he explained Tang Dao's past achievements in detail, to show that his understanding of Tang Dao was not a novice. He recited a few poems smoothly, even if he improvised it, he still had his own brilliant talent.

Of course, it’s just a bit too much to praise, especially the sentence ‘Ru jade’s fighting general is unparalleled in the world! ’ Even though Tang Dao was as thick-skinned as a city wall, he felt like he had broken his defense at this moment!

On this point, he still has to learn from Comrade Wang Xiaoqiang. Believe it or not, as long as it is said by the brigade commander, he dares to accept it in full. Now he has to get a pen and paper and let the brigade commander write it down first. Forget about it later!

"Sir Cheng, what should I say? As soon as you wrote this poem, I felt that the gift I gave was too light! On the contrary, I felt guilty!" Tang Dao smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Fortunately, there are only two of us here. If word of your unparalleled warrior spreads out, not only the Japanese will probably want to chop off my head, but many generals will also think that the neck of my Tang Dao is too thin and long to chop off. Quite cute."

"Haha! No wonder Wang Xiaoshan said that Commander Tang, you are a talent! I think we can definitely become friends." Brigadier Cheng couldn't help laughing again when he heard what Tang Dao said was interesting.

"Well! Deputy Commander Wang told me the truth, saying that I have a certain temperament that only Commander Cheng has! I couldn't ask for being friends with Commander Cheng!" Tang Dao said to Comrade Wang Xiaoqiang without any psychological burden. Sold.

 Brigade Commander Cheng.

What kind of temperament are certain temperaments? Why do Wang Xiaoshan's words sound like, 'The boss is a **** and his subordinates are bastards'? Brigadier Cheng Da, who had defeated Wang Xiaoshan many times in person, would never believe that Wang Xiaoshan would say that he was 'unparalleled in the world'!

In this regard, Brigadier Cheng Da unjustly killed Comrade Wang Xiaoqiang who was squatting outside and smoking. In the future, even if this man reaches a high position, he will still have great respect for his old leader.

 He underestimated his personal charm!

"Sir Cheng, I have a second request!" Seeing that the atmosphere between the two parties was already good, Tang Dao made a second request in a timely manner!

 “You say it!” Brigadier Cheng had a very good impression of Tang Dao at this time, so he naturally replied casually.

"I hope that our regiment can participate in your army's upcoming battle against the Japanese invaders!" Tang Dao looked seriously at Brigadier Cheng who was very interested.

 Brigadier Cheng’s expression remained unchanged, but his eyes suddenly became sharp.

 The reason is very simple. Tang Dao's words made it very clear that he wanted to participate in the upcoming battle against the Japanese invaders.

As for this war that had been planned for nearly half a month, except for the two chief officers at the division headquarters, the entire 683 brigade, only the five chief officers at the brigade headquarters knew about it. Even the chief officers of the two main regiments under their command still knew about it. Don't know.

 Otherwise, with Wang Xiaoshan’s kind of virtue, he would not be able to send telegrams to the brigade headquarters every two days to invite him to fight!

 How could Tang Dao know such secret information? Does this also mean that there is something wrong internally?

"Mr. Cheng, don't get me wrong. I didn't get this information from your department. I'm not an important person, and I can't ask that department to serve me!" Tang Dao didn't know what this person would think. hurriedly explained.

Seeing that Brigadier Cheng did not speak, Tang Dao continued: "This is what I judged from the current situation. The 108th Division is pressing forward step by step, and now it has captured Dongyang Pass, connecting Changzhi, Lucheng, and Licheng into one , and its military supplies are continuously transported into Licheng County, which will create a dangerous situation of using Licheng County as a base to attack mountainous areas.

If your troops do not carry out the necessary counterattack, then as the Japanese invaders hoard supplies and organize superior forces, your troops will be able to leave, but the people in the mountainous areas who support your troops will suffer!

Therefore, I judge that if your army at least wants to preserve the current situation, it will inevitably launch a major counterattack against the Japanese invaders to destroy their communication lines, store supplies, or encircle the points for reinforcements. In short, it will make the Japanese army uncomfortable. Dare to easily regard Licheng County as an important base for advancement!

Unless he has the ability to deploy an infantry brigade here, but obviously, this is impossible, the Japanese are not that rich! The main force of the Fifth Division can be transferred to Xuzhou to fight in the battle! "

A moment of silence! Brigadier Cheng gave Tang Dao a thumbs up: "Fortunately, you are not an enemy!"

This time, the cliffhanger is heartfelt! It's more true than when I praised the general Dao Wushuang.

 At that time, the role of gifts was obviously huge.

Tang Dao’s reasons are irrefutable.

 In fact, because he wanted to participate in this war, Tang Daoguang thought about the reasons for most of the night.

 If you can't predict the enemy beforehand, then you can deduce the reasons after the fact. The little butterfly that traveled from the future is definitely not lacking in this aspect.

Tang Dao breathed a sigh of relief!

 If nothing else happens, he should be able to participate in this battle that shocked the northern battlefield.

 The Battle of Shentou Ridge! The second battle fought by military genius generals in the Great Patriotic War!

 It’s amazing!

 Tang Dao's battle on the south bank of the Bi River, the most important ambush tactics used to surround the main force of the Japanese army, were all copied from his script.

 But as the saying goes, if nothing unexpected happens, there will be an accident!
