Rise From Eight Hundred

"Yes, Commander Tang, you are right. Our department is determined to organize a counterattack against the Japanese invaders!" Brigadier Cheng said calmly.

 There was light flashing on the lens.

People say that the eyes are the windows to the soul.

Correspondingly, glasses are naturally the layer of glass on the windows of myopia patients!

If it were Comrade Wang Xiaoqiang here, he would definitely tell someone in the group to be more confident and remove the impression!

 Brigadier Cheng is the number one general under the command of the 921st Division. How can he be so easy to figure out his thoughts?

“It’s okay for your four-troupe group to want to participate in this battle, but you have to agree to one condition!”

“Sir, tell me!” Tang Dao frowned slightly.

If this person still wants to speak loudly, compared to the difficulty that the weapons and equipment carried by the Fourth Army are only enough to supplement the 47th Army, he is even more afraid that this will change his excellent impression of this person!

 After all, no one likes greedy people, and the same goes for Tang Dao.

"My preset battlefields are in the Changzhi, Lucheng, and Licheng areas! If Commander Tang can use your military genius intuition to guess where my battlefields are, then I will definitely recommend you to the division headquarters. Join this battle!" Brigadier Cheng raised his finger and pointed at the map, with a smile on his slightly round but thin face.

The three cities of Changzhi, Lucheng, and Licheng are not large, and they are not far apart from each other, but their area is more than 500 square kilometers. In such a vast area, Tang Dao relied on his so-called genius intuition Guessing his preset battlefield is no less difficult than finding a pearl in the desert.

Even a fool knows that this person actually wants to say, although you are good, our 921st Division does not want you to participate in this battle. The reason why he was given a chance that was as illusory as winning a lottery was because Tang Dao had just given away the gift, and this person had to take care of Tang Dao's face no matter what.

Yes, if we say before, Brigadier Cheng was still a little worried about the battle he had almost planned, but with the unexpected gift from Tang Dao hitting his head, Brigadier Cheng was almost 90% worried. Five, make sure you can win this battle.

 In fact, in the past time and space, the 683 Brigade, which was extremely short of ammunition, still achieved an almost perfect victory on a nearly 50-50 battlefield!

The reason why I want to refuse is actually not because I don’t trust Tang Dao and the Four Elements Regiment. The performance of the Four Elements Regiment led by Tang Dao has already proved that they are an anti-Japanese army and an iron-blooded army. No one would want to reject such a friendly army. .

The ultimate reason is the criticism of the 18th Army by some so-called "patriots", saying that they did not engage in large-scale battles with the Japanese army on the northern battlefield like the Chinese army on the frontal battlefield. The so-called guerrilla means guerrilla without attack!

 To put it bluntly, this kind of thing similar to the keyboard warriors of later generations is purely about standing and talking without back pain.

Of course, it may be more about the guy secretly instigated by the principal who is secretly setting the pace.

The current situation is that the Eighteenth Group Army entering the Jin Province Anti-Japanese War has only two infantry divisions with less than 30,000 troops. It is fighting against the Japanese North China Front Army, which can gather three infantry divisions with nearly 100,000 troops at any time. ? Does that mean someone with a lot of brains would do this?

Besides, at this time, the areas like Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Suizhou were governed by the newly redivided Second War Zone. The Eightyth Group Army was just a unit under the Second War Zone. The old Shanxi man who served as the commander of the war zone did not As for a big battle with the Japanese, it was the Eightyth Army's turn to take the initiative and take the lead!

However, it is extremely uncomfortable to always be pointed at a bald man and scolded a bald donkey in newspapers. The 921st Division must fight a decent battle to prove itself.

Brigadier Cheng, who knew the thoughts of the division leader, naturally preferred to resolve the upcoming battle on his own, rather than adding the Si Xing Regiment to the mix. Otherwise, even if the battle is won, when the battle achievements are reported to the superiors, someone will jump out and say that they are holding the legs of the Si Xing Tuan.

 To put it bluntly, this battle was not only to combat the arrogance of the Japanese invaders, but also to prove themselves!

 Hearing Brigadier Cheng make such a request, Tang Dao's face was visibly red!

To be honest, Tang Dao almost didn't laugh out loud if it weren't for the fact that his emotional intelligence was still online and he was afraid of offending this talented military strategist.

 The reason why I blush is purely suppressing it.

 In fact, the so-called ultimate moves made by Brigadier Cheng are just a cloud in front of the little butterfly in the future!

Seeing Tang Dao's face turning red, Brigadier Cheng Da thought that Tang Dao was being stumped and felt that what he was doing was a bit unethical.

It’s just that this is a battle achievement belonging to the 921st Division. He can’t let anyone take it away under any circumstances. Even if he feels a little sorry in his heart, Brigadier Cheng Da can only use thick glasses to block the flickering apology.

"Commander Cheng, let me judge." Tang Dao suppressed a smile and looked around in front of the map of Licheng.

 Then, Brigadier Cheng Da saw Tang Dao's gaze staying in the northwest of Lucheng!

No way! No way! No one knew the turmoil surging in the heart of Brigadier Cheng Da, whose expression remained unchanged at that moment.

That direction was the ambush area he had decided after half a month of hard thinking and personal on-the-spot investigation! He took the overall battlefield into consideration and deliberately placed the ambush site in this unexpected location. Moreover, even the Japanese would never take extra precautions due to the special terrain of this area.

Is it possible that Tang Dao, a newcomer, could figure out his own tactics at a glance? This unscientific.

 Is this guy using this to test himself?

Soon, Brigadier Cheng, who had worked underground in the White Zone for many years, realized that perhaps Tang Dao was not finding the location, but was using this to observe his facial expressions to determine the location of the real battlefield.

 This is a slippery man. Brigadier Cheng Da put down his thoughts for a moment, and his expression changed slightly!

What does it mean to play psychological warfare and play psychological warfare? Brigadier Cheng Da is not afraid of this. You are really a blind cat catching a dead mouse. I, a veteran underground worker, also make you murmur in your heart.

Sure enough, out of the corner of his eye, he saw that his face was slightly solemn. Tang Dao obviously hesitated. After his eyes stayed in the area for a moment, he quickly moved away and pointed his eyes directly at Licheng County.

"In this battle for your department, Licheng is a must-fight!" Tang Dao stabbed Licheng County on the map and said firmly.

 Brigadier Cheng Da’s expression is as usual!

The attack on the county town should not be too common, okay? If you want to fight a big battle, even the most brainless commander will set his sights on a county town that is easy to defend and difficult to attack but has abundant supplies, even if it is just a cover!

 In fact, in the battle plan he had sent to the division headquarters, the attack on Licheng County was a necessary part of it.

However, compared to the entire battlefield, this link only plays a role in diverting the tiger away from the mountain. At best, it can only be regarded as the introduction to the entire battlefield, which is far different from the war.

Tang Dao looked here with such intense eyes, what should I say? However, Brigadier Cheng was slightly disappointed.

 This shouldn’t be the tactical level of an ‘unparalleled warrior’!

 Human beings, intelligent creatures, always move forward in contradictions!

Just like a woman’s desire for her partner, she not only hopes that he will make a difference and become a dragon among men, but she also hopes that he can spend more time with herself and her family! As everyone knows, most of the people in this world are ordinary people. It is not easy to work hard in this difficult and dangerous world and protect the family from wind and rain. How can such a balance be achieved? Not to mention those who have become the best among men, how many people can remain true to their original aspirations in the face of endless temptations?

The same is true for Brigadier Cheng Da at this time. He neither wants Tang Dao to guess his arrangement, nor does he want to see a 'mediocre general'!

It can only be said that before meeting Tang Dao, the message from this genius general and teacher created a very good image of Tang Dao. As a result, this subjective impression of Tang Dao was also very good, so good that it was not even good. Would like to see Tang Dao perform mediocrely.

 For top academics, a 100-point paper would be a stretch even if it is 99 points! That's the mentality.

"Oh? The reason?" Brigadier Cheng suppressed his disappointment, but a smile appeared on his lips, he picked up the enamel jar and took a sip of water.

"I have analyzed before that the 108th Division is using Licheng County as its advance base to store supplies. It is becoming a large warehouse for military supplies. From a strategic and tactical perspective, Licheng County must be attacked! Fight hard, fight hard! Otherwise, it is necessary to fight in Licheng County. , when the 108th Division starts to be interested in the mountainous area, it will be difficult for us people." Tang Dao replied.

“Then have you ever considered that Licheng County has city walls and fortresses, so how much loss will our troops have to pay if we want to capture the county?” Brigadier Cheng’s eyes flashed slightly.

Tang Dao's words reminded him that in his tactical plan, although an infantry regiment would be used to siege Licheng County, it was by no means a deadly battle. It was to break if it could be broken, and to intimidate with wild attacks if it could not be broken.

That is mainly because the 921 Division does not have a few artillery and lacks the ability to attack fortresses. However, there is an infantry brigade with thousands of Japanese troops in Licheng County. The strength ratio is 2 to 1. Even if there is internal support, it will not be able to defeat them. The city had some scruples, as the casualties would be too great.

But now, Tang Dao has sent 4 combat anti-cannons. The caliber of the 37mm artillery shells is not large, but this kind of artillery can penetrate even 30mm steel plates. As for the small bunker that the Japanese currently make crudely, it can only be shot with one shot. If it doesn't work, just do it a few more times. Does that mean that he can achieve two combat goals with this battle? Can we not only kill the Japanese, but also rob them of the large amount of supplies they have hoarded? That's simply not too beautiful.

"Mr. Cheng, what you are considering is that due to the lack of artillery, your department does not have enough attack capabilities. Even if you gather a large number of troops to capture this county and exchange casualties for supplies, the deal is not cost-effective, and you may even be pursued by Japanese reinforcements. !" Tang Dao smiled slightly and suddenly changed the subject.

"So, if our regiment does not participate in the battle, I judge that your department will deploy the main force here." Tang Dao moved his finger directly to the place he had just scanned.

“Mr. Cheng, what you want is not supplies, but the lives of the Japanese, or to be more precise, the lives of the Japanese reinforcements!”

 “Ahem!” Brigadier Cheng Da almost choked to death on the water he had not yet swallowed.

 Encircling a point for reinforcements is a tactic often used by the Eighteenth Army, and Tang Dao guessed that it was not surprising at all.

In fact, in the past time and space, the Japanese army in Licheng immediately asked for help from the Japanese army in Changzhi City after being attacked by an infantry regiment. The Japanese army immediately sent an infantry brigade and auxiliary troops, totaling 1,500 reinforcements, to Licheng. , and the 683 brigade, which had already deployed the main force of the two regiments, naturally swallowed it all in one go!

But there are thousands of roads, and safety is the first priority. The Japanese are not stupid, so where is Mao Tang Dao?

Tang Dao: Brother, this is something you have done before! Don't ask me to forcefully make up the reasons? My head hurts for deceiving a smart person like you.

"Tell me your reasons, but I can remind you that all the roads in the Shentou Ridge area you are referring to are on the mountain ridges, not in the valleys. It is definitely not a good location for an ambush." ​​Brigadier Cheng Da has a good character after all. Different from ordinary people, after seeing Tang Dao's determined expression, he knew that Tang Dao was determined, but he still had to make a final struggle.

Because, when he selected this area, the other four brigade commanders unanimously opposed it. In the end, he overcame all opinions and confirmed the battlefield he chose. Now he only needs the approval of the division headquarters.

"If I was still a little unsure at the beginning, but after you said this, Commander Cheng, I am even more sure!" Tang Dao turned his gaze from the map to Brigadier Cheng, extremely determined.

“Because, in Qigen Village, you used the strategy of ‘unrecoverable’ until you were able to confuse the Japanese with such proficiency that you had enough courage to ‘surprise’ the Japanese with such a move!”

"Ahem! Don't brag about me. The two battles in Qigen Village were completed under the command of the two leaders of our division. Just tell me your reasons!" Brigadier Cheng Da, who dared to joke in front of the teacher, now I was also a little embarrassed by Tang Tuanzuo.

 But I have to say that deep down, my impression of Tang Dao has become even better!

  In any case, Brigadier Cheng Da will never admit it because he speaks so nicely.

“I said it was intuition, do you believe it?” Tang Dao sighed slightly and spread his hands like a rogue.

  Anyway, didn’t this big guy say it before? Take a guess based on your ‘unparalleled warrior’ intuition.

 What the hell, your intuition is so accurate?

After staring at Tang Dao for a long time, Brigadier Cheng could only sigh: "You couldn't have intercepted the secret message I gave to the division headquarters, right?"

This is of course impossible. In order to ensure that his confidential documents could reach the division headquarters safely, Brigadier Cheng Da used an entire security company to **** the deputy brigade commander to the division headquarters overnight, and also brought a field radio captured from the Japanese army. , before welcoming Tang Dao, he also reported to the brigade headquarters that he was safe!

"Then, Commander Cheng, our troops can join the battle!" Tang Dao smiled and led Brigadier Cheng's army.

He knew that although this person was open-minded and cheerful, he always kept his promises. No matter how unwilling he was this time, he could only hold his nose and admit it.

"Hey, Commander Cheng, I know what your concerns are? In this battle, our regiment is not the Four Lines Regiment. Whether it is the 769th Regiment or the 770th Regiment, you can just give me any number!" Meet Brigadier Cheng. Frowning his brows, Tang Dao added another sentence.

 This sentence is truly shocking!

Even the well-informed brigade commander Cheng Da was stunned. He looked at Tang Dao and said nothing for a long time.

Tang Dao’s meaning is very clear. In this battle, I only want to fight against the Japanese, and all the battle credits will go to your 921st Division.

 This is unreasonable!

 Let alone the Four Lines Regiment being affiliated with the Sichuan Army, even if the Four Lines Regiment was part of the 18th Army Group, no unit would do this.

 Soldiers can fight, and they can also be wrapped in horse leather, but if they die in battle, they don’t have a status. What does this mean?

But Tang Dao did exactly that.

"Why?"

"Why not so much? My Four Elements Regiment is not short of military exploits, but when it comes to killing Japanese soldiers, my brothers and I are very lacking!" Tang Dao grinned, showing his white teeth. "Besides, I am very interested in the supplies hoarded by the Japanese army in Licheng County, and I want to eat more canned beef!"

 Brigadier Cheng’s mind was filled with turmoil again!

Tang Dao's appetite was much greater than his. He wanted to kill people and rob supplies, and he wanted to rob them all.

Tang Dao is going to use the strength of the four-line regiment to conquer Licheng County!

 Transforming a feint attack into a strong attack is called destroying a point while also calling for reinforcements. It is an upgraded version of encircling a point for reinforcements! That is to say, we still need to continue to communicate the details of when the city will be captured.

 But this is definitely a result that any commander would like to see. I want to catch the fish, and I will not let go of the bait easily.

The only thing that makes people confused is, can the Four Troops attack that city?

At this point, Brigadier Cheng still doesn't know much about the Si Xing Regiment. If it weren't for the Chinese civilians in the city, the six 150 mortars alone could blow up a small town with a radius of less than 0.5 square kilometers into rubble.

 “Can I believe you?” Brigadier Cheng suddenly asked after a moment of silence.

"Sir, are you willing to believe me?" Tang Dao looked at this genius general and answered with an unprecedented seriousness.

"I will hand over the battle achievements of your regiment to the division headquarters for sealing. Even if it cannot be announced now for some reason, I believe that sooner or later the whole world will know about it. The officers and soldiers of your regiment who died will also be included in our 683 brigade headquarters." All will be recorded, and the officers and soldiers of our brigade who died in battle will be compensated equally! This favor has been recorded by me, Old Cheng, and the 683rd Brigade, and we will pay it back in the future!" Brigadier Cheng answered Tang Dao in a more serious manner.

"There is no need to remember favors. This is a Sino-Japanese war. It is natural for the Chinese to fight the Japanese. I only need you to promise me a small condition if we win after the war!" Tang Dao's teeth were very white in the sun.

 “Okay!” Brigadier Cheng Da agreed.

He didn’t even ask what conditions it was about, because since he chose to believe it, he would believe it to the end!

Tang Dao will never impose too harsh conditions, that's out of a soldier's intuition.

"Sir, don't worry. You and I will win this battle!" Tang Dao smiled even more cheerfully.

Two people stood in the same room due to the intersection of time and space, but they were both the best Chinese soldiers in China, holding hands tightly together.
