Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 548 This is the power side by side

But until [-] o'clock in the morning, the imagined bomber of the Japanese Navy did not appear.

That's because Admiral Hasegawa Kiyoshi, who received the information from the reconnaissance plane equipped with a radio station, thought twice and decided not to play his life with those Chinese "desperadoes".

The benefits are not directly proportional to the risks.

A total of only 2000 people's troops fell outside the Chinese defense line. When his bomber group flew over, it must have been within the range of the opponent's anti-aircraft guns. The risk of one or two fighter planes being shot down is really not worth it.

Although the large amount of supplies carried by the supply troops will definitely be of great use to the Chinese, but that is something the army millipedes have to worry about, so what is it for the navy?
Therefore, even though Ushishima Sadao, who was so angry that his eyes turned blue, repeatedly asked Nagakawa Taniki, an admiral with some personal acquaintances, to dispatch fighter planes to indiscriminately bomb the Chinese army that hastily entered the Jiaxing defense line, Nagakawa Taniki resolutely refused.

No one expected that the large amount of supplies transported by the independent battalion at the risk of annihilation of the entire army would one day become a disguise to confuse the opponent and become a supply unit in the eyes of the pilots of the Japanese Navy's reconnaissance planes.

If Chang Chuan Guqing knew that the "supplier team" was the "murderer" who ambushed his naval bomber formation twice in a row in Baihe Port, I'm afraid he would not have considered any issues of benefits and risks.

That must be eliminated and then quickly, not to mention the loss of one or two fighters, even if you pay half of the fighter squadron, maybe the admiral who was beaten by Tang Dao with a black nose and a swollen face is also willing.

But the Japanese missed this best opportunity.

Under the protection of the high muzzle of anti-aircraft guns, the exhausted independent battalion exhausted its last bit of strength and walked the last two kilometers to reach the defense line.

At that moment, the tens of thousands of troops who had entered the fortifications on the defense line and had been watching them couldn't help cheering, first at one place, then at two places, and countless places
The mountain roared and the tsunami was like a big victory.

The loud sound was even heard by the pilots of the Japanese reconnaissance plane who were circling in the air a few kilometers away and overlooking the Chinese defense line.

The Japanese pilots may have realized that they had made a mistake at the moment they watched the team of supply troops, like industrious little ants, transport the carts of supplies into the clearly visible line of defense amidst the cheers of the mountains and tsunami.

No matter how powerful the "supply team" is, it will not be so popular, let alone serve as the rear of the entire army.

However, the two Japanese pilots on the two-seat reconnaissance plane modified from the Type [-] fighter chose to forget it tacitly, and then left at high speed.

Wu and Guo, who personally arrived at the Yonggu fortification on the front line, watched the independent battalion enter the defense line intact, and their hearts hung for a long time before they let go.

However, the two did not personally greet the finally returning independent battalion.

It wasn't that they were unhappy, but that Tang Dao was really too courageous, which really made them so satisfied that they didn't even close their eyes for a moment all night.

As calm as Guo Junzuo, he couldn't help being shocked when he learned that Tang Dao had chosen to move and evacuate. He was not a big smoker, but he smoked a full cigarette during two hours of non-stop pacing. Bag.

The independent battalion was chosen as the last group of troops to retreat, of course, because they are strong enough. If the Japanese army finds out the clues and catches up regardless of the darkness of night, the independent battalion and the two infantry regiments in front of them can quickly form a defensive line to block the Japanese army. in the wilderness.

more than 4000 people may still not be enough, but it is still possible to stop the Japanese army for two hours.

The task given to them is to stop the Japanese invaders for two hours, and then run as fast as they can. The main force will wait for them on the second line of defense in Jiaxing.

For this reason, General Guo also deliberately found Tang Dao and asked him not to be stingy. Except for the necessary ammunition and life-saving food, the rest can be thrown away, so as to reduce the burden on the soldiers as much as possible.

At this juncture, human life must be important, not materials. With people, there will always be materials.

It turned out that Tang Dao was a good guy. He looked like a "good baby" in front of him, but behind his back was a moving method. On average, each soldier carried 30 catties. On such a cold winter night, he unexpectedly Everyone was sweating profusely.

Not to mention people, even those pack horses that can usually carry a load of two hundred catties and walk tens of miles, at least half of the horses have white foam on their mouths, which is a sign that their physical strength is almost exhausted.

The load is more than one-third of the usual, and the horses are not allowed to rest. If they walk another two or three kilometers, it is estimated that the entire army can have fresh horse meat today.

This 'iron-headed' Tang Dao saw with his own eyes the pale Tang Dao with two bags of grain hanging from his chest and a box of grenades on his shoulders. The two commanders hated and felt distressed.

I hate this stingy guy, he even brought the planks necessary for the construction of the fortifications, and he didn't listen to the commander; but he also practiced himself, as the supreme commander of the independent battalion, he carried more than the entire battalion. There are also sixty catties in ten catties.

On the battlefield, the Japanese failed to kill their confidant and beloved general, and they almost died of exhaustion on the way to retreat. The two lieutenant generals would be lying if they said they didn't feel sorry for them.

It's just that no matter how distressed it is, it's all Tang Dao asked for, and the two lieutenant generals will not spoil him.

In addition to asking the logistics department to send the rice soup and steamed buns that had been prepared and boiled hot in the cauldron to the officers and soldiers of the independent camp, the two chief officers did not go to the independent camp. Knife dissatisfied with this maverick behavior.

That is to say, the bearded General Gu ran to the independent camp, saying that he admired tough guys like Tang Dao.

"Haha, you're still good enough, you don't even leave a single hair to the Japanese, I appreciate you!" The bearded general slapped Tang Dao on the shoulder, expressing his agitated mood.

Even if it is a risk, we have to grit our teeth and bring all the supplies. We are retreating, not running away with the armor and armor removed, but Tang Dao's approach is very appetizing for the bearded lieutenant general.

That is, the slap that expressed his feelings almost didn't slap the battalion commander Tang on the ground.

No matter how powerful Tang Dao is, it is not a god, and its strength is limited. Marching for more than 20 kilometers with a load of seventy or eighty catties will also consume a lot of physical strength. Don’t look at the bearded lieutenant general who practiced martial arts when he was young. Too much, that body is full of strength, even if you personally go into battle and kill two or three Japanese soldiers, it is no problem.

It was still Tantai Mingyue who had sharp eyes and quick hands, quickly supported Tang Dao, and by the way admired the two big eyes of the bearded lieutenant general who was in agitated mood.

Of course she respects the lieutenant general, but for a guy who wants to beat his exhausted lover to the ground, the rank of lieutenant general is not good for her anywhere.

Reporter Tantai is also a master with a temper, gentle, and will only be reserved for people she likes.

"You must be tired from the long-distance march. You should rest up first, and Lao Gu will not bother you. Lao Gu has nothing else, just send a little gift to the brothers." The bearded lieutenant general came two times faster than him. parted and left.

However, the adjutant of the 128th division who accompanied him left a small bag.

Master Zhuang opened it and looked, tears almost didn't flow out.

It was a bag of toffee, and it was the return of the advance group a few days ago. In order to express gratitude to the two infantry regiments of the 128th Division who took the risk to cover them, Tang Dao asked Master Zhuang to come to the door and send it to the master of the 128th Division. Thank you.

Unexpectedly, within a few days, this thank you gift was sent back intact by the Lieutenant General.

Obviously, it was because they were afraid that the officers and soldiers of their independent battalion would be exhausted physically, and they would not be able to make up for it unless they had enough sugar.

After this night, even the soldiers of the original security regiment knew the importance of sugar. A toffee is even more effective than a meal at critical times.

It's not a great gift, but it's a rare gift.

This is the so-called friendly army!

The senior leaders of the independent battalion were very moved by this bag of candy. They were born in the security group, and they were either awed or disgusted. Chief of Staff Zhuang, who seldom felt this kind of sincere warmth from others, burst into tears.

Perhaps, this is the strength that comes from shoulder to shoulder.

Not only the independent battalion that has been integrated, but also the entire defense line, from the Northeast Army, Sichuan Army, and Hunan Army from all over the world.

The last line of defense in western Zhejiang, Jiaxing!
Tang Dao stood in front of the entire army of the Independent Battalion who had unloaded supplies and was ordered to sit down to replenish food and water, looking towards the wilderness and the looming mountains behind.

He led the whole battalion to win a battle without gunpowder smoke, but what should we do next?
After this line of defense, there is no defense fortification that can stop the Japanese invaders. If you lose this line of defense, if you want to resist, you can only rely on flesh and blood.
