Chapter 125 Disrespectful and confused military orders
The order for Captain Tang Dao to step down as the commander-in-chief of the warehouse defense and transfer to the first company commander, Major Shangguan Yun, was given when the warehouse defenders were having dinner.

Tang Dao smiled bitterly. He knew that this was a disguised expression of dissatisfaction with his assertion by the lieutenant colonel, and it was also a warning.

As the supreme commander of the warehouse, the lieutenant colonel was telling everyone that he had absolute control over this force, and that all military operations had to be approved by him, even Tang Dao.

Tang Dao's resignation as the defense commander means that the lieutenant colonel has to readjust the deployment of night guard forces.

Sure enough, all the sentinels on the side of the concession where the warehouse was located were drawn from the second company and the third company.

That is, regardless of whether it is as Tang Dao said, the lieutenant colonel has decided to face it in person, instead of trying to delay like Tang Dao did.

However, the lieutenant colonel gave Tang Dao face after all, and the two guys who were tied up were ignored directly, as if they had never appeared.

But since one or two can come, the third will come.

At about ten o'clock in the evening, a middle-aged man in black night clothes dived across the Suzhou Creek and came to the outer edge of the warehouse. Because he didn't know that the warehouse and Suzhou Creek were actually connected, he entered the warehouse through a rope lowered on the second floor of the warehouse.

The security squad took him to a secret room in the building. After a careful search, the lieutenant colonel went to talk to him in person. All this was done under extremely confidential circumstances, and no one except the security squad knew about it.

No one knows how long they talked, or whether the man left or not.

At 12 o'clock, Tang Dao received an order that the lieutenant colonel wanted to see him, and the two met in a secret room without any windows and dimly lit.

The lieutenant colonel sat alone on a chair made of grenade boxes in the secret room, his face was slightly gray, the stubble that was specially shaved with a bayonet for raising the flag yesterday morning was thick again, and the discipline button that was always buckled very tightly Unbuttoned, revealing some dirt on the collar of the shirt.

Seeing Tang Dao coming in, he stood at attention and saluted, but instead of returning the salute as usual, he threw a cigarette and waved his hand to signal Tang Dao to sit across from him.

The two smoked cigarettes at each other, and neither of them spoke first. It wasn't until the Lieutenant Colonel threw the cigarette butt on the ground and crushed it with his leather shoes in annoyance, that he said in a dull voice:

"Tang Dao, you are right. Because the radio station could not be contacted, someone from the Central Command came two hours ago to convey the military order for the theater headquarters. Our combat mission has been completed. I was ordered to withdraw into the concession at 2 o'clock in the morning tonight.

At the same time, the high-level officials in the concession have negotiated and can keep their armed forces. When the time is right, we can return to the army and continue to fight against the Japanese invaders. The Japanese army also agreed to allow us to retreat into the concession. What do you think? "

Tang Dao had expected it long ago, his eyes flashed, and he said straightforwardly: "Sir, you are the supreme commander of the Sixing Warehouse, and everything is naturally up to you. If you are willing to obey the military order and withdraw to the Western Concession.

I have nothing to say, it's just an order.It's just that after withdrawing into the concession, I originally belonged to the Sichuan Army. When I return to the old army, I hope the chief will not stop me when he arrives.

At that time, the Commander is busy with affairs, and I am afraid that there will be no chance to say it. Tang Dao is very grateful for the care of the Commander in the past few days. Here, I wish the Commander will rise to the top with his military exploits in this battle. I hope that in the future, Tang Dao will be lucky enough to be able to fight with the Commander in the Anti-Japanese War Fight side by side. "

"Tang Dao, you." The lieutenant colonel heard Tang Dao's intention of parting, anger welled up in his eyes, he suddenly stood up and wanted to get angry, and after pacing back and forth several times, his face finally turned pale, and he sighed softly:
"Tang Dao, there are doubts about your origin, but I have never doubted you since the moment you chose to enter the battlefield alone to kill more than ten Japanese invaders. It's not for anything else, just because you killed devils!

I don't care if you are from the Sichuan Army, from the Central Committee, or even from the north, it doesn't matter, you are Chinese, and you resist Japan, that's enough.yes or no? "

"Yes!" Tang Dao nodded, but said: "But my sincere admiration for you, sir, is not because of your trust!"

Apart from Tang Dao himself, I am afraid that no one in this world knows that the reason he refers to is that he is replacing all future Chinese to express his gratitude to this heroic predecessor who took the lead in the war of resistance.

"You and I are robes, so there is no need to mention words of praise." The lieutenant colonel's eyes darkened slightly. "I understand what you mean just now, but you just said that I put the general's order above the fate of the country. It is unwise to be loyal and foolish, so I want to leave.

"Xie came to the Sixing Warehouse this time, and his original intention was to use the Sixing Warehouse as Xie's grave. As long as it can arouse the determination of the whole nation in our country to resist the war, even if he dies, that is what he wanted.

Seeing that the fire has been lit, the people of our country are being inspired by it.

However, the military order of the theater has been issued, and Xie, as a soldier, must obey the military order as his bounden duty. At this point, the lieutenant colonel hissed with tears in his eyes.

"The fire of the country's national resistance is as important as the military order of Mount Tai. Tang Dao, tell me, if it is you, how should the two choose?"

"Sir, military orders are really irresistible to our soldiers." Tang Dao looked at the Lieutenant Colonel's green stubble that seemed to have grown overnight, and respect flashed in his eyes, and he still said firmly: "But, don't care about me. Tang Dao disrespects the military orders for the future of the nation!"

Tang Dao can only tell him his own choice, but he is not Tang Dao.

For this lieutenant colonel, this is really an unsolvable multiple choice question.

Continuing to fight, the lone army in the warehouse can burn the fire of resistance against Japan even more vigorously.

The lone army hangs alone outside the army, surrounded by Japanese invaders, without provisions, without backup, even if it had a way out, but still chooses the hail of bullets. This blood-stirring story is enough to ignite more and more blood in China. The fire in people's hearts.

But what about the consequences?

Standing in the position of lieutenant colonel in the army, he disobeyed military orders, and it was no longer a matter of him or his family bearing the consequences.

Respecting the military orders of Shangfeng, even if all the members died in this battle, they still died because of the national war. Even if the compensation and benefits that should be paid cannot be honored immediately, they will be honored in the future.

But if you don't respect the military order, even if you die here, not only will all the military achievements and pensions be lost, but the families of the officers and soldiers will also be implicated, and some people who become angry and ashamed will even be named rebels.

Tang Dao could have said the words 'disrespect and muddled military orders', but the lieutenant colonel could not easily push more than [-] officers and soldiers into the abyss, including those who had died.

Otherwise, a calm and decisive soldier like the lieutenant colonel would not have suffered so much.

"What's more, I have every reason to believe that, not to mention that Westerners will never keep their promises, once they enter the concession, our army can only let them go;

Even the Japanese will not let us in easily. "Tang Dao said firmly.

"The Japanese who have been hurt by us, will they allow such an elite army like me to enter the battlefield again?"

"You mean?" The lieutenant colonel frowned slightly, not surprised but delighted.

If it was as Tang Dao said, he would have given him a reason to convince himself.It may be no problem to obey the military order and withdraw the troops, but obeying the military order and letting his more than 400 subordinates let the Japanese invaders slaughter him is something only a fool would do.

"The Japanese have been killed by our troops for more than a thousand people in the past two days, and their regiment leader hates us to the bone. If they don't attack us while we leave the warehouse building, then I really respect him as a man. " Tang Dao pointed to the left and right wings of the warehouse.

"I dare to conclude that they have already deployed light and heavy machine guns on the side of the Suzhou River Bridge tonight, just waiting for our troops to withdraw! The Suzhou River Bridge is not within the scope of the concession."

"Really?" The lieutenant colonel's eyes flashed, and his fists were slightly clenched.

"That's just one more fight!"
