Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 198 We have a tender face

Soon, the doubtful lieutenant general had an answer.

Now that the military leader has set the tone, everyone here can follow the order.

Tang Dao also agreed very readily. In addition to delivering the two mountain cannons and all the shells as a reward to the 26th Division, two of the four infantry guns and 200 shells, 8 92 heavy machine guns and 16 Grenadiers, 8 rounds of ammunition for various machine rifles, and most of the food supplies were given to them.

Although not all of them, the generals of the 43rd Army who were present were delighted from ear to ear.

From this moment on, the 26th Division is no longer the "beggar army" who used to go to the battlefield with singles and old sleeves. In the battle two hours ago, nearly 400 rifles from the Japanese army were seized, which can basically be exchanged for the infantry collectively. Pack.

The 6 heavy machine guns seized plus the 8 provided by Tang Dao, as many as 14 heavy machine guns can almost be equipped with two for each infantry company, 16 grenadiers, two mountain cannons, and five infantry cannons. The firepower has increased to a level that they dare not even dream of.

You know, before the 43rd Army came to the Songhu battlefield, apart from each regiment being equipped with 4 mortars, there was no mountain artillery.

What is called a shotgun change, now it is.

The headache for the two brigade commanders at the moment was not the lack of equipment, but someone to control the heavy firepower.

It is also sad to say.

The current 26th Division is no different than before. In addition to the guard battalion shared by the military headquarters and the division headquarters, there are only about 700 people in total. Although there are brigades and regiments, in fact, after the joint compilation during this period, there are only 6 people. An infantry company, two in a brigade, and a fire support company and a guard company are under the direct control of the army and division headquarters.

The chief of staff of the division, Liu Gongdu, and Lao Wang took them to the Four Lines Battalion early this morning. Although there were only three or four hundred people, they were actually an infantry brigade plus a fire support company directly under the military headquarters. Most of the strength.

"Each infantry company has two heavy machine guns, two grenade launchers per company, and 2 bullets per company. Canned food and food are evenly distributed to each company. Medicines are uniformly allocated by the military department, and then 30 people from each of your brigades will come out. Another half of the firepower company will be drawn out to form an artillery company. That's it. Don't play tricks for me. Whoever wants to live without artillery will let him live well." General Guo patted the table as a reward From field to door, look at the watch on your wrist:

"I'll give you one hour. After one hour, except for the two platoons of the military guard company staying in the garrison to guard the camp, the rest of the people will march towards Songjiang."

"Yes!" All the generals stood up to attention, turned their heads and left.

There were only two lieutenant generals left in the conference room, as well as Tang Dao who hadn't left.

It wasn't that Tang Dao didn't want to leave, but Comrade Guo used his eyes to signal him not to panic, which meant that he wanted to talk to him about his ideals.

General Guo with a slight smile on his face took out a cigarette case, first gave one to his curious old partner, and then threw another to Tang Dao: "Songjiang is not a good place to go this time, Mr. Liu and I have been thinking hard and can't find a chance to win. You are a big cunning guy. You escaped from a Jedi like Sixing Warehouse. Come on, don't hide it for me. It's just us right now. Three, tell me what you really think.

However, don't be fooled by those three reasons, I know that you must have other ideas to force my 43rd Army to go to Songjiang. "

The middle-aged uncle is really not easy to be fooled, Tang Dao's words are logical, but this one just relies on his intuition to know that Tang Dao is urging him to go to Songjiang, although Tang Dao can guarantee that this little one will never think of him Butterfly's true intention to go to Songjiang.

If you don’t take out something from the bottom of the box, don’t try to fool it. Tang Dao had to stand up, walk to the map of Songhu hanging on the wall, and first point his finger at Kunshan in the west of Shanghai: “Both officers, you Think, if we don't go to Songjiang now, can we evacuate Songhu through here?"

"Go from here? I guess the law enforcement team in the war zone has been executed on the spot in the name of deserters before crossing the Baihegang Bridge!" Liu Yuqing frowned and shook his head.

"I mean, even if the war zone doesn't care about the 43rd Army, which is a small force of only [-] people." Tang Dao made a hypothesis.

As the eyes of the two generals changed, Tang Dao sighed slightly: "More than 50 troops, at least half of them should have started to retreat towards Kunshan at this moment."

"I can't go! The roads are all blocked." The two lieutenant generals were experienced warriors, and they came to their senses in an instant, with extremely ugly expressions on their faces.

Unless all heavy equipment is discarded and all the crew leave the road with light clothes, otherwise, it would be an absolute disaster for all 100,000 people to squeeze onto that road.

But the road from Su, Xi, Chang to Jinling in Kunshan is already the only road from Huxi. Who would give up?

"This is the biggest reason why I insist on going to Songjiang with the 43rd Army. Even if I run now, when my Sixing Battalion arrives in Kunshan, the road should be blocked. If Songjiang can't persist for another three days, nearly [-] Japanese troops If you rush over from the flank, everyone will die," Tang Dao continued.

"Instead of lying down and letting the Japanese army kill them, it's better to fight, even if it's just for ourselves. If we can get away with fulfilling the military order, it will be much easier for us to choose the direction of retreat according to the battle situation in a few days later."

"You don't deserve to be a soldier. If you go into business, you will definitely become a rich man." General Guo sighed and pointed at Tang Dao. "I almost believed what you said."

"What you said is fine, but why do I always feel that you have other thoughts? Tell me, what is the reason for this?" Guo Zhongjiang said half-seriously and half-jokingly.

Tang Dao's face remained the same, "Maybe it's because Tang Dao has a face that is too tender!"

After being stunned for a while, the two lieutenant generals laughed out loud.

Regardless of whether this is the real reason or not, Tang Dao's answer with this fresh cold joke is not bad.

As the saying goes: "There is no hair on the mouth, and you can't do things firmly." Tang Dao, who is only 21 years old, is indeed too young. He is so radiant at such a young age, which really makes two generals who are over [-] envious I don't know what to do.

Even though he led more than 100 people to an unbelievable record a few days ago, it was more or less due to the strong warehouse and the concession as a shield, but this time, he faced nearly [-] Japanese invaders. The army is definitely not the same, how can they not be cautious?

"Even so, let's stop this question and go to Songjiang, do you have any good suggestions?" General Guo stopped laughing and asked the question again.

"Not only do we need to gain time, but also the friendly forces who are about to rush to Songjiang." Tang Dao replied quickly.

Because this is what he most wanted to say to these two big men.

time is life.

Every second, yes.

The 67th Army, which is about to rush to Songjiang, was once the most elite infantry army of the Northeast Army.

Not only was the supply of troops sufficient, the two full-staffed infantry divisions in the army had more than 30,000 troops, and their equipment was second only to the Central Army. Its commander, Lieutenant General Wu Keren, was an extremely determined anti-Japanese general.

Otherwise, the 67th Army, which had already fought a battle with the Japanese army in northern China in July and August, would not have gone to the southeast to continue fighting.

Tang Dao believes that it won't be long before the 67th Army will take the initiative to contact the 26th Division.

Just judging from the time when they arrived in Songjiang County in the past, they are now in Qingpu, tens of kilometers away from Songjiang, which is probably the second most important reason.

This is especially the case when hundreds of thousands of troops have to run away, but I have to lead the army upstream to block the incoming enemy soldiers for the whole army.

Although the generals have the heart to serve the country with their lives, they can't think about their own ideals. The life and death of more than 30,000 people in the entire army are in their minds, and some entanglements are normal.

However, all the entanglements are useless. Tang Dao knew that they finally chose to obey the military order and the whole army went upstream. More than 11 people from the whole army arrived in Songjiang on the afternoon of November 6.

That is tomorrow evening.

But at that time, the main force of the Japanese army also just arrived, which led to the fact that the entire 67th army immediately went into battle before even establishing a position.

There is no position, but they have to face heavy artillery. It is conceivable that the casualties are heavy. On the first day of the battle, a major general and brigade commander were killed.

If we can strive for a day earlier, even half a day, the battle damage may be reduced a lot.
