Rise From Eight Hundred

The news of the arrival of the two commanders spread quickly throughout the mountains, and the scene of laughter and joy gradually quieted down.

Even though they could not see the commanders, the officers and soldiers who were originally sitting cross-legged could not help but stand up and look at the brigade headquarters not far away.

Many of them had never seen the legendary division commander, but this also prevented them from expressing their respect for the division commander by standing straight and being quiet.

Since crossing the Yellow River to the east, the 921st Division has been fighting against the Japanese invaders continuously. Not only did it not happen as many people speculated before the march: with their equipment and manpower, they would be crippled in a short time! , but it also won several major victories, making the 921st Division famous and powerful.

Not only did the friendly forces stand in awe when they heard the name of their 912th Division, but even the Japanese shouted the slogan "If you want to fight, fight 921".

Moreover, when the military pay and supplies could not arrive smoothly, the 921st Division still stood firm in this barren mountainous area, at least ensuring that the officers and soldiers had food and clothing.

All of this is inseparable from the wise decision of the divisional leaders. Thousands of officers and soldiers of the 921st Division who stood up and waited for the leaders to speak respected their leaders from the bottom of their hearts.

"Salute to the leaders!" I don't know which officer shouted.

"Shua!" All the soldiers stood at attention and saluted.

At this time, the mountain wind was not strong, but because of the sudden silence, the sudden salute sounded, and it was blown by the mountain wind, and it was rustling!

In the valley and on the hillside, there are fires everywhere, and there are straight figures standing everywhere!

It's like the oldest mountains and rivers in China, with thousands of straight green pines!

This scene makes the Chinese soldiers who are lucky enough to see this scene excited!

Being a soldier, if you can achieve this, you can really die without regrets!

"Two commanders, everyone is waiting for you to speak!" Brigade Commander Cheng suggested to the two division commanders who stopped and looked at their soldiers.

"What are you talking about! In such a big mountain, few people can hear your voice even if you shout at the top of your throat! Can you, Cheng Houzi, take care of us old people? No, no, no!" The short commander smiled warmly on his round face and waved his hand to refuse.

"Order the whole army to have dinner." The division commander looked at this scene for a while with his hands behind his back before turning his head to order. "Except for the commanders of each regiment who will stay for the time being, the other deputy brigade, deputy regiment, and battalion-level cadres need to go deep into the company and platoon grassroots and be with the officers and soldiers. In addition, tell everyone that in half an hour, the political commissar and I will also go deep into the various units to celebrate the victory with the officers and soldiers."

As the bugler's trumpet sounded, cheers rose from the valley and hillside, straight into the sky, startling countless birds.

With the division commander's order for the whole army to have dinner, the aroma of meat and wine seemed to be stronger.

"Gugu!" A strange sound rang out among the officers who were about to move forward.

The two commanders looked strange, turned their heads and looked at a certain regiment commander following behind them.

The certain regiment commander looked normal, but cast his eyes on Comrade Wang Xiaoqiang who looked confused.

Because the commander of the 772nd Regiment and the director of the political training department followed the guard battalion of the division headquarters, and did not arrive in advance with the cavalry company for the last 20 miles like the two division commanders, Wang Xiaoqiang, the first deputy commander, could only stay here on behalf of his own commander.

Unexpectedly, he became the scapegoat of a certain regiment commander.

Wang Xiaoqiang's expression had completely betrayed his inner confusion. At that moment, his inner OS was probably: Your baby's belly is growling with hunger, what the hell are you doing to me?

Tan Tai Mingyue's face flushed, and she tried her best to suppress the urge to cover her head.

Her fiancé is good in everything, but this guy is right! He was so casual in everything he did, even expressing his hunger so boldly and directly. What, was he protesting to the two leaders that they were too late?

But this really couldn't be blamed on Tang Dao's casualness. A 'hero' with strong output power required much more energy intake than an ordinary person, just like Lu Zhishen who could uproot a weeping willow. He ate twenty bowls of rice and a barrel of wine in a restaurant in Wutai Mountain, and also ate half a dog meat. He ate twenty or thirty bowls of wine and a goose, plus a plate of beef in a meal at Liu Taigong's house in Taohuazhuang...

Poor Tang Tuanzuo only ate three bowls of rice and a plate of cabbage at noon. It wasn't that he wanted to save his stomach for meat at night, but that this was the daily meal of the cadres of the 683rd Brigade. He had exceeded the standard by at least two bowls of rice. Moreover, even if he could still shamelessly serve rice, there had to be enough in the rice bucket!

After eating half full and waiting anxiously until dark, it would be strange if Tang Tuanzuo's stomach did not protest when the aroma of wine and meat was stimulated.

"I..." Comrade Wang Xiaoqiang wanted to shake his head and wave his hands to say that it was not him who did such a shameful thing.

"Deputy Commander Wang, the last time we drank, we still couldn't decide the winner, but this time you can't run away." Tang Dao smiled.

When it comes to drinking, Comrade Wang Xiaoqiang reacted instantly. There was no winner, but Tang Dao was secretly reminding himself that he had promised Tang Dao to help him with something, but he didn't expect Tang Dao to use it here.

He is a deputy commander! Promises are so worthless! He felt a little wronged for no reason.

That was what Comrade Wang Xiaoqiang didn't know. His wise brigade commander also agreed to help Tang Dao. But Commander Tang said that as long as Commander Cheng and all the soldiers who also attended the celebration banquet drank, it would be considered a favor. Compared with him taking the blame for Commander Tang, it was not worth it.

"Ahem, I haven't eaten much for a day, I'm so hungry! Commanders, don't blame Old Wang for being rude!" Comrade Wang Xiaoqiang could only shamelessly grin and take the blame on himself.

"It is said that you, Deputy Commander Wang, are the first general of my 921st Division. I think it is a bit overrated." The commander looked at Tang Dao and Wang Xiaoqiang and smiled slightly. "Otherwise, why did Commander Tang threaten you with drinking? Today is a celebration banquet. I approved it. As long as you don't participate in combat alert, there is no limit on the amount of alcohol. Show the strength of the first general of the 921st Division and drink with him."

"Commander..." Wang Xiaoqiang's face was not red, but a little pale.

The first time Tang Dao met him, he had a full-scale competition with this beast Tang Dao. He was completely defeated in shooting and 400-meter obstacle race, but at least people could still see his back. However, the beast's alcohol tolerance was bottomless!

He doubted whether he would get drunk to death. If he didn't know that the division commander had met Tang Dao for the first time today, he even had reason to doubt that the division commander didn't like him very much!

"Look at your cowardly look. You are one person when asking for supplies, but you shrink back when you hear about drinking. Don't lose face for our 921st Division in front of the division commander and political commissar. Today, I will challenge Commander Tang at the wine table!" Brigade Commander Cheng also jumped out to cheer up his generals, using the method of provoking them.

Comrade Wang Xiaoqiang was about to cry. It was just that someone was hungry and growling! Why did you big guys suddenly change the subject and talk about drinking! If you want to compete, you big guys should go! What the hell are you doing with me, the smallest scumbag deputy commander here, leading the way!

Single challenge? Tang Dao was happy to hear this.

It's good to be the big brother!

Originally, he was worried that there would be too many people drinking today, and he would not be able to handle the alcohol even if he was raised in a wine jar, but now he can guarantee that he will not make a fool of himself in front of these future shining generals in China.

Tan Tai Mingyue also cast a grateful glance at Cheng Da, the brigade commander who was provoking her!

She has been in the army for a long time, and she knows what these rough men in the army look like once they drink. They drink white wine as water, which makes her, who comes from Jiangnan, feel scared. She doesn't want her fiancé to be drunk and unconscious, even though she knows that he can drink a lot.

But this fiancé is obviously still a little too young, and underestimated what it means to be cunning.

"Don't talk about a one-on-one duel. Deputy Regiment Commander Wang and I will have a few more drinks later. Deputy Regiment Commander Wang deserves the title of the best general of the 683rd Brigade in this battle." Tang Dao responded to the challenge with a smile, and at the same time, he praised Wang Xiaoqiang in front of the two leaders.

"No, no, Regiment Commander Tang, you misunderstood me. I don't mean a one-on-one duel between you two!" Brigade Commander Cheng, who was letting the two division leaders take the main seat, smiled like a fox.

Or the round-faced fox.

"What do you mean?"

"Your Fourth Regiment will challenge my 921st Division! Friendly forces fighting friendly forces, very fair!" Brigade Commander Cheng said as if it was a matter of course.

......

"Haha! You Cheng monkey!" The short leader on the side laughed and scolded.

"Usually, I don't quite understand, but this sentence, um! It makes sense!" The usually serious division commander smiled and continued the next sentence.

Where is the moral integrity? A group of old Jianghu people suddenly showed off, and Tang Dao's waist was almost sprained.

You know, the other chief officers of the Four-Line Regiment didn't come, but the 921st Division here counted two chiefs, one brigade commander, three main regiments and one supplementary regiment, a total of 7 people.

What's more terrible is that two Sichuanese, one Hunanese, and four Hubeiese all eat chili peppers, and drinking in places where chili peppers are eaten seems to have never been bad.

7V1, judging from the comparison of the forces of both sides, this battle in the drinking field almost foreshadowed the defeat of Tang Dao before the battle even started!

Tan Tai Mingyue was so angry that her cheeks puffed up. If she really couldn't drink, she would be a dead end even if she went up. It would be better to stay sober and make a hangover soup for Tang Dao to drink. She would drink with her fiancé and these old Jianghu people.

According to common sense, if Tang Dao gave in at this time and admitted that he was no match for the big brothers, the two chiefs who were mostly joking would naturally not really get Tang Dao, a little fellow, drunk.

"Okay! It's settled." But Tang Dao smiled brightly and nodded in agreement.

There must be something wrong when things are abnormal! The officers who looked at each other had a shadow of ominous shadow in their hearts.

Damn it, this guy is stronger than they thought! Comrade Wang Xiaoqiang, who had been deeply poisoned by Tang Dao, suddenly felt a shudder in his heart, and instantly felt that the meat in front of him was not so fragrant.

Before Tang Dao abused him, the deputy regiment commander, the expression on his face was exactly the same as now.

Comrade Wang Xiaoqiang, who already had a psychological shadow, ate meat in big mouthfuls and didn't say much after sitting at the table. This made the two leaders instantly doubt whether their usually carefree subordinate was really hungry at that time, instead of helping Tang Dao to block the gun.

They didn't know that Comrade Wang Xiaoqiang was holding a very tragic mentality at this time. Even if I want to vomit later, what I vomit must be meat, not bile!

Of course, Wang Xiaoqiang, who was nervous before the banquet, was still very normal. At most, his face was a little tense.

"The battle of East Jin ended this time, and our army won a great victory. It was all achieved under the planning of the division leaders and the great help of friendly forces. Please give a speech to start the banquet!" As the host, Brigade Commander Cheng said first.

At the banquet in China, the so-called who speaks first is naturally particular. It is either the host or the person with the highest status. Although the two division leaders have a ranking of status, it depends on the situation. At this time, it is a summary after the war. As the military chief, the division commander is naturally more suitable.

Brigade Commander Cheng has a great ability in dealing with people.

"Okay! Then I will say a few words first." The division commander did not refuse pretentiously. He stood up and held the wine glass with both hands.

"Everyone, this celebratory wine is very sweet, but let us toast to the soldiers of the brigades, regiments, battalions and companies who sacrificed their lives for the country. Without their sacrifice, there would be no great victory in this battle."

Everyone stood up, solemnly raised their glasses and gently poured the first glass of wine on the ground in front of them.

"This second glass of wine is for the officers and soldiers who are drinking happily. It is because you led your officers and soldiers to fight for your lives that we can have such a great victory. The political commissar and I, on behalf of the leaders of the group army headquarters, toast to you!" The division commander held the wine glass to face everyone, raised his head, and took the lead in pouring the wine into his mouth.

"This is what we should do." The soldiers present drank the wine in their glasses in one gulp.

"This is the third glass!" The division commander glanced at his subordinates who were excited, but cast his eyes on Tang Dao. "But I have to toast you, Commander Tang. Without your regiment's victory in Licheng, without you personally leading the army to rush dozens of miles to cut off the Japanese invaders' retreat, how could our army have won such a great victory. This wine, all the soldiers of my 921st Division who participated in the war, toast to the friendly army!"

"Cheers to the friendly army!" The regiment commanders led by Brigade Commander Cheng raised their glasses to Tang Dao.

This has nothing to do with any drinking contest, it is purely to express their feelings.

"I dare not refuse the respect from the elders!" Tang Dao shook his head and said: "No matter how brave and elite we are, we are just an infantry regiment, but at this time of national crisis, the power of a regiment of thousands of people is ultimately insignificant. Only by uniting all the forces that can be united and the whole nation together can we win this war. This victory should belong to all the Chinese soldiers who participated in the war. We have never been friendly forces, we are one, we prosper together and suffer together!"

These words made the beautiful eyes of Tan Tai Mingyue on the side shine again and again.

He had military merits, but he was never arrogant. The man she fell in love with was definitely the most perfect hero in any woman's mind.

"Haha, well said! Unite all the forces that can be united, and our Chinese nation will definitely win this war that concerns the survival of the nation." The division commander laughed, but did not put down the wine glass. "But you, the first meritorious minister, must drink this glass of wine. An old friend of mine once wrote: If the youth are strong, China will be strong!

This war is destined to require more efforts from you young people. I hope that you can lead the army under your command to create glory again on the battlefield against Japan."

"Then I must drink this glass of wine. I dare not guarantee glory, but Tang Dao dares to guarantee in my hometown dialect that on the battlefield against Japan, Tang Dao and the brothers of the Four Lines Group will never be weak." Tang Dao drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

After three cups of wine, everyone started to toast. Tang Dao, the youngest person at the table, held the wine glass and toasted three times. He never refused anyone who asked him to drink. His face did not change at all. The only change was that his eyes were getting brighter.

"It's going to be bad!" Brigade Commander Cheng said in his heart.

In the army, where did the three-cent small cup come from? It's better to say it's a bowl. The bowl for drinking is a farmer's earthenware bowl purchased by the logistics department of the 683rd Brigade in a small mountain town. Although half of it is poured each time, it is still about one or two taels.

After Tang Dao toasted three times, he drank nearly two catties. Adding the drinks from others, it was at least two and a half catties.

As a result, people really want to shout "good guy". The head of the supplementary regiment and the young head of the 769th regiment began to sweat and faint, but this Tang Tuanzuo was still like nothing happened.

Is this really going to challenge everyone in the 921st Division alone!

Glancing at Wang Xiaoqiang who was eating meat beside him, he meant: Your kid drank with him! Why don't you report this guy's drinking capacity to me? I'm in a passive position now!

Wang Xiaoqiang swallowed a large piece of meat with a bitter face, and hurriedly picked up a large piece of fat meat.

Whatever you want! Anyway, I'm lying flat and rotten! Deputy Regiment Commander Wang is now in front of his brigade commander like this.

Anyway, in terms of position, he, the deputy regiment commander, is the youngest scum here. In terms of age, he is only 23 years old, and the youngest except Tang Dao.

Come on, elders! I'll eat something to fill my stomach first, and then follow you to charge into battle.

When he was young, Wang Xiaoqiang played his advantages to the extreme at the wine table, which was really Li Yunlong!

Damn, this guy seems to want to be a battalion commander, and Brigade Commander Cheng is furious!

It is true that he and Tang Dao admire each other, but as the host, he cannot let Tang Dao kill everyone at the wine table and eventually wipe out all the senior officers of the 921st Division!

The military's wine table is a battlefield! Regardless of victory or defeat, the momentum cannot be lost.

But looking at Tang Dao's current state, the momentum is already on the "enemy side"!

If you want to avoid the front temporarily, you can only use a trick!

The head of the brigade commander Cheng was spinning.
