Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 1044 Secret Mission!

6 Month 12 Day!
It was drizzling.

A caravan consisting of about 20 people walked on the mountain road.

In the caravan there were carriages covered with tarpaulins, armed guards riding tall horses with weapons, and entourages carrying large rucksacks on foot, and a big yellow dog running back and forth in the caravan for fun.

Apparently, the bushy pastoral dog prefers the cool, wet weather more than humans.

People in the caravan should also like this guard dog that can warn of darkness. A middle-aged man on a horse was still muttering that riding a horse is a hard job. When he saw the big yellow dog running over, he immediately smiled. He took out a piece of jerky from his bosom and threw it out. Seeing the big yellow dog quickly catch it, his face was even more joyful.

No matter who looked at it from a distance, they thought it was a very ordinary caravan nowadays.

In such a time, when soldiers and bandits are everywhere, armed escorts are simply normal. Even if they pass through a defense area guarded by Chinese troops, as long as they have the procedures issued by the headquarters, they will be allowed to pass.

After all, the army stationed in the mountains also needs such caravans to constantly shuttle between the outside world and the mountains in order to obtain supplies other than military supplies, such as cigarettes, liquor, and even women and other contraband.

The officers in the army knew about it, but they basically turned a blind eye to it. The lower-level officers and soldiers had worked hard, and they were not allowed to have some fun in private?They cannot hold everyone to high moral standards.

Traveling on the battlefield of this kind of war between China and Japan, although the risk is high, the profit is extremely considerable. There are also statistics in the military. At least half of the money that the soldiers can't spend in the mountains is lost to these merchants. The team went.

Not counting the 20th Army Group, the armies of other Chinese factions stationed in the southeast and south of Shanxi at that time were as high as more than [-] troops. You can imagine how impressive this spending power is.

The caravan walking on the mountain road is considered to be extremely small in scale, and some large caravans even have as many as 300 armed personnel.

When the Japanese offensive was strong, an infantry regiment directly recruited 160 armed guards from a large caravan near its station even when no one was available.

The reason is simple, if the position is broken, this large caravan with as many as 400 people will not be able to survive. The guards of the company promised to pay 4 for the dead, 200 for the injured, and 100 for the rest.

Humans make money and birds die for food. This new force that rushes to the battlefield to make money and save their lives is equivalent to a reinforced company. It just blocked the attacks of two Japanese squadrons in turn and helped the infantry regiment survive the crisis.

For this reason, the infantry division also specially issued a commendation order to the caravan.

As a result, the status of the caravan has been slightly improved, and the frequency of traveling from Shaanxi Province to the mountains has increased.

Although it was early summer, the drizzle in the mountains still seemed a bit cold. Even though the leading cavalry guards were wearing coir raincoats and bamboo hats, they still couldn't help shivering. He looked up at the terrain ahead, took out a map from his pocket, I used my coir raincoat to block the drizzle, compared it carefully, and pulled the reins, and the bay red horse turned around knowingly, and trotted all the way to the cart covered with tarpaulin.

"Sir, the mountain in front is called Yesanpo. According to the report from the 17th Division before we set off, there is an infantry squad stationed there. I don't know when the rain will stop. The mountain road is also rough and difficult. Look at it. Don't go over there first to let the brothers and the horses rest for a while." The cavalry guard lowered his head and said.

The tone is completely different from that of non-governmental organizations, but it is undoubtedly the same as that of the army.

The tarpaulin was lifted, and a young man wearing a top hat and a long robe poked his head out, looked into the distance, then smiled slightly, showing his white teeth, "Sanjiang, you are the leader of a row now, it's up to you to go or stay. You don’t have to ask me for instructions on everything. But you still have to be careful. This is a very important matter. Even if the soldiers of the Northwest Army have good relations with our department, we can’t reveal our identity unless necessary. If there is an accident, you can handle it according to your discretion. "

This young man who looks like a son or brother, except for those who are familiar with him, really can't tell at once that this is Tang Tuanzuo who never leaves his uniform.

Except for the last time when he first entered Taihang Mountains to inquire about 683's travel traces, Tang Dao had never taken off his military uniform. Made in Hanyang, which has the most equipment for the guards.

I don't know which Tang Dao is playing.

"Yes!" The cavalry guard raised his head, revealing the slightly hideous scar on his face.

Besides Lu Sanjiang, who was just promoted to deputy company commander and platoon leader of the reconnaissance company, who else could it be?

"Vice Lian, I can take a rest when I get to the place later, the pot of wine you brought is half enough for me!" The tall young man sitting on the shaft of the caravan turned around and said with a smile.

There is only one person in the whole four-element group who drinks wine like water and still has such a handsome face.

But what is rare is that the big sword and scabbard that never leave the body are no longer carried on the back, but tied to the lower part of the car shaft where the eyes cannot reach.

Obviously, a driver with a big sword on his back can easily make people wary.

And there is a certain tired middle-aged man who is still complaining about the pain in his buttocks that riding a horse is not as comfortable as walking. Except for Shen Laoliu, the old sixth, it is probably not someone else.

It probably means that no matter how much Hammer likes to chatter, he likes to eat jerky wherever he goes.

Walking at the end of the line, the smiling, round-faced young man who was carrying the raincloth-wrapped boy with only the muzzle exposed was a 'brainless' who had just been promoted to sergeant squad leader; It's a middle-aged uncle with a cold face, so naturally he can only be 'unhappy'.

Without asking, just looking at these few people, they are all the elite of the reconnaissance company of the Special Service Battalion of the Four Elements Regiment. Even these elites do not even wear military uniforms, but turn into ordinary caravans, Knowing how important what Tang Dao said just now is so important.

It turned out that the boss of the [-]th Army Group gave Tang Dao the task of secretly escorting Shan Xiaxia to Linfen after a little thought.

It came from the broad-mindedness of an old general, not only because of the interests of pulling the Four Elements Regiment to the [-]th Army, but also because the three soldiers of the Four Elements Regiment almost sacrificed their lives to capture it. He didn't want to take advantage of the military exploits of the enemy generals, even if the [-]th Army Group might become famous because of it, and its influence would be even greater than before.

Even the teachers who are far away in the northwest, after hearing the boss's decision, think that what he did is correct and aboveboard, which is the truest portrayal of them who have ideals.

However, the context's injury was already serious, and Tang Dao didn't pay much attention to the defeated opponent. He didn't let the medical company suture the abdominal wound until the third day after the battle.

The anesthetics that are already in stock are absolutely reluctant to use, similar to Guan Wusheng's "bone scraping healing" without anesthesia, the pain of just sewing with a sewing needle is probably the first in the life of "Taihang Zhutouwen" This time, even a deep coma couldn't stop him from crying out in pain.

Just a little bit, this old man was tortured to death on the operating table.If so, his life is probably gone, with that dying appearance, not to mention the long-distance march to Linfen, I am afraid that if he lies quietly for two days without infusion, he can also go to their Amaterasu for tea .

"Don't the Japanese like to boast that their samurai spirit and will are as strong as steel! Why are they so weak? The special ones are for my sickness, so don't waste my four-element regiment's medicine!" Tang Tuanzuo was annoyed The complaint made Tantai Mingyue angry and funny.

Tang Tuanzuo seemed to have forgotten that most of the medicines of the Four Elements Group were taken back from the Japanese army.

It can only be said that the quality of the Japanese products has indeed passed the test. Yamashita was treated by Tang Tuanzuo even more veterinarians than veterinarians. Under the maintenance of the medicine, not only did he not burp, but after two or three days, he miraculously Seems to have improved a bit.

Seeing Shan Wenxia's panting calmed down, Brigadier Cheng Da, who came to 'visit' the 'darling baby' again, gave Tang Dao a good look.

Otherwise, just like Tang Dao's casual attitude towards the loot, the living 'baby' will become dead, and the value will be reduced by 90.00% in an instant. The always open-minded Brigadier Cheng Da has to be anxious with him.

When the two bosses of the 921 Division heard about this, they could only smile bitterly and be puzzled. What a chance to show their face by capturing an enemy general alive!

If Tang Dao is not done well, he can leap from colonel to general in one step, and the Four Elements Regiment can be expanded, right?As a result, Tang Dao was fine, he didn't pay attention to it at all, and even had the motive to kill the spoils that could be promoted and raised for anyone.

No, it’s not just the motive. They are sure that if the old man from Shanxi hadn’t issued a military order, he would have to send the live Shanwen to Linfen, and the 683 Brigade, from the brigade commander to the head of the regiment, has personally seen that Shanwen was quite out of breath. Fuck, Tang Dao had already strangled that guy to death.

Of course they don't know that the "Taihang Zhutouwen" who is about to die right now is so powerful. This time he underestimated the enemy and was ambushed by Tang Dao after his strength was wiped out by two infantry divisions. After absorbing the experience of this defeat, it may evolve into a more terrifying commander than the "Malay Tiger" in the previous time and space.

Tang Dao knew better that the Japanese side would never give up rescuing Yamashita, even if it was just for the face of its army and the emperor.

And now the government under the leadership of the boss, in order to obtain an extremely rare respite, is very likely to use this product as a bargaining chip.

At this time, the Japanese side may not care about the two, three, or even half a year of work at night. With China's current industrial and economic strength, it has lost control of the rich and prosperous southeast coastal areas and important ports in the north, and it is difficult to gain control of the western world. China's assistance, sooner or later, will be their meal.

The deal has more than a 90.00% chance of closing.

Naturally, Tang Dao would never allow a Shanxia who might be alive to return to the battlefield. At this time, he can only count his fate if he is not dead, but there is at least a week left, and his life is in Tang Dao's hands.

Or, even if he arrived in Linfen, what if he was handed over to the Second Theater Command?
The former King of Soldiers even killed Gu Beastmen in tens of thousands of troops. How difficult is it to kill a seriously wounded person protected by the Chinese?
Therefore, Tang Dao stopped being so deliberate and saw that the situation in Shanxia had stabilized a little, so he personally took this "big treasure" that was about to be exhibited to the people of China on the road.

By the way, bring back the medals and a lot of bonuses that the Four Elements Regiment won in this battle.

Of course, and more importantly, taking advantage of the time difference of these few days, Tang Dao also perfectly and reasonably missed the opportunity to meet a certain boss who came to present the medal in person on a transport plane.

Tang Dao knew in his heart that the better his four-element regiment fought on the northern battlefield, the more jealous he would be. He came here in person this time, not without the intention of meeting Tang Dao and lobbying him to lead the four-element regiment back to the Central Plains.

It's not that the Four Elements Regiment, a mere infantry regiment, is very important to him. The important thing is that he cannot tolerate the phenomenon that the Four Elements Regiment and another unit he fears the most are getting closer.

The most terrible thing is that in the battle of Changle Village, the commander of the [-]th Army Group was one of his most proud students. The military order of the theater headquarters originally called him to go to Linfen to receive an honor. The First Class Baoding Medal!But that one shied away on the grounds that the whole brigade suffered heavy casualties after the war and needed him, the brigade commander, to deal with the aftermath himself.

This is all Chi Guoguo's excuse. I heard that the person who was smiling when he heard about it after arriving immediately turned dark.You said, for such a "disobedient student", how can he tolerate another outstanding and shining army colonel getting closer to him?He knows best how strong his student's charisma is.

Fortunately, Shan Xiaxia, who was tortured and almost ascended to heaven, gave Tang Dao enough excuses. The one who wants to preside over the overall situation cannot stay in North China for a long time. If the Japanese find out, they will gather all the fighters in the north A wave of air strikes left him here in the north.

In fact, Shan Shanyuan, who was informed of this information, did not have such an impulse. Unfortunately, in the battle of Changle Village, the army and aviation suffered heavy losses. The supplementary fighter planes on the island were still on the aircraft carrier. More than one fighter plane, unless he bows his head to the Kwantung Army.

But it turned out that he was the Minister of War, and the generals and commanders of the Kwantung Army had to bow to him. Now let him beg the other party, and it was because of his own defeat in the war.
Anyway, the Japanese North China Front Army has not responded for a long time.

Of course, the senior Chinese spies in Pingbei City are not vegetarians. They have been paying attention to the reaction of the Japanese army since a few days ago, but the Japanese army has made some moves, and the news has already spread.

Several factors made it possible for the boss to take risks to arrive at the front line, but nothing happened that disturbed the security department, and by the way, it also won the hearts of many soldiers for him.

However, although Tang Dao couldn't come to Linfen to award the honor due to military affairs, he still made that person quite unhappy. He made a note of Tang Dao again in the small book. It has become a rumor, but the medals and bonuses that should be given are quite a lot.

That's also because the battle of Changle Village has done so much, and even those people who are in high positions and like to find fault with eggs can't find any excuses and reasons.

The 104th and 17th divisions and the commanders of the 683rd brigade who participated in the battle were all awarded the first-class Boding Medal, and the subordinate colonels and chief officers were all awarded the third-class Boding Medal. Soldiers are also awarded the Baoding Medal.

Not to mention others, as many as 60 have been awarded for the number of Baoding Medals of the Four Elements Regiment. Lao Abacus, Yang Bicheng, and Tudou have all been awarded the sixth-class Baoding Medal, which is already a national medal that can be obtained at the soldier level The highest level.

According to Li Jiujin, who won the fifth-class Baoding Medal, this time the group had to carry the Baoding Medal in a big basket to return.Although this statement is a bit exaggerated, the infantry divisions who participated in the battle in the southeast of Shanxi won many medals, even two points more than the last bloody battle in Taierzhuang.

If you add the cash, gold bars, and French currency carried by the boss, this time the precipice has spent a lot of money, and it is estimated that it is also going to give a sample to the hundreds of thousands of troops who are engaged in the Jiangxia War, and tell them with facts, as long as you die and Japan People do it, and the above will not be stingy with rewards.

The medal may not be very important, but a bonus of up to 10 oceans is a must, otherwise Tang Tuanzuo wouldn't be in such a hurry to hurry.

Of course, before departure, the Four Elements Regiment also reported to the 22nd Army Command in accordance with the military regulations, and reported to the Second Theater Command as usual.

However, this operation is top-secret. In order to prevent news from leaking, Tang Dao and his party did not wear military uniforms. , and no one knew that the famous Tang Tuanzuo was leading the caravan carrying cigarettes and liquor.

Not to mention, under Tantai Mingyue's elaborate dress, the tall and handsome Tang Dao put on a long robe and a top hat, and stood up without a sword. The eyes are full of splendor, if not for being chased away by the deputy company commander Er Ya, the company commander Tantai Dalian probably would have regretted it, whether it would be most suitable for her to dress up her fiancé as a coachman.

But strength does not allow it!Tang Tuanzuo grinned helplessly.

As far as he is concerned, he shouldn't be the young boss, let Shen Laoliu, that wretched old man, be the boss, will anyone believe him?

The caravan traveled another two miles, and a simple wooden shed made of pine appeared in front of it. On the mountain road, there were fortifications piled up with horses and two sandbags. On the hillside behind, there was a simple trench.

The caravan stopped in its tracks, and the 'guards' with guns searched for positions to hide. This was the most normal reaction of the caravan, even in the face of the army.

After all, who knows whether the Chinese army or the Japanese army will be encountered here.

Two figures came out of the wooden shed, walking towards this side with guns on their backs. There were also gun muzzles protruding from the simple trench on the hillside.

Tang Dao, who poked his head out from under the tarpaulin and glanced into the distance, narrowed his eyes slightly, and the cold rain dripped on his shoulders along the edge of his top hat.
