Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 767 Big Brother Zhang
Commander Zhang smiled wryly!
Tang Dao is really rude.

As the saying goes: Talking about money between brothers hurts feelings!Faced with Tang Dao's unabashed hand asking for money, the dignified general didn't feel hurt!But that was not worth a dime, but it really hurt my face.

"Brother Zhang, don't get me wrong, I didn't ask you for it, but" Tang Dao smiled and pointed upwards with a finger.

"What do you mean?" Commander Zhang seemed to have come to his senses.

"To tell you the truth, Brother Zhang, the Independent Battalion, the predecessor of my Four Elements Regiment, was also established by the Military and Political Department, but it has been more than a month. Neither the Military nor the Military and Political Department has allocated a dime of funds. I There are 1100 people in the independent battalion, and every morning they have to stand in the air for a while before going to the battlefield to beat up the little devils." Speaking of having no money, Tang Dao's face was bitter.

Just looking at it makes me miserable.

"Why do you want to stand on the air vent for a while?" Commander Zhang was taken aback.

Although this man is free and easy, he is upright, and he doesn't have enough understanding of Tang Dao's coquettish words.

"Northwest wind can really fill your stomach! The whole army of my Four Elements Regiment can prove it. If the officer doesn't believe it, you can try it!" Tang Dao said righteously.

Just looking at his face and extremely determined tone, Commander Zhang almost believed it.

"Ahem! I get it! I get it! Bro, just tell me how to help you!" Commander Zhang quickly waved his hand.

As for Tang Dao's heartache, he can guarantee that no matter how stingy the boss is, he will have to allocate some military expenses and some porridge for this guy. Is it okay to fight the Japanese just by drinking northwest wind?

"I know, Chief Li admires you, Big Brother Zhang. You go to him and let the fifth theater allocate the military expenses owed to my Four Elements Regiment and the previously promised rewards to my Four Elements Regiment. Tang Dao is very grateful!" Tang Dao road.

"This..." Commander Zhang's mouth twitched slightly.

Tang Dao's request doesn't seem too much. What he wants is the military expenses and rewards that belong to his four-element regiment. The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, he must give what should be given.

But the subject of what he wanted was wrong. It was the Military and Political Department that owed him money, not the Fifth War Zone. The commander really appreciated him. When he was in Jinling two months ago, he asked him to come out of the mountain several times when he was idle in the Military and Political Department. In the end, he I just returned to the battlefield, but if I went to him for no reason, would I be kicked out if it didn't belong to the money he paid?

"Don't worry, Brother Zhang, as long as you open your mouth, I can guarantee that Chief Li will agree to you." Tang Dao said solemnly.

"Why do you see it?" Commander Zhang couldn't help being curious.

Although he has only known Tang Dao for a short time, he has studied Tang Dao's battle reports on the battlefield a lot. Whether it is Sixing, Songjiang or Jiashan, Tang Dao leads his troops every time under extremely bad circumstances. Possibility becomes possible, especially the night attack on the Sixth Heavy Artillery Brigade, which can be called a classic comeback battle.

If the final result hadn't been confirmed, even the Chinese commander would have found it hard to believe that Tang Dao had set his sights on the 36th Heavy Artillery Brigade that hadn't started action since the moment he was chased like a dog by the 6th Infantry Brigade.

The difficulty of the entire battlefield is not that Tang Daobu's troops caught the 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade by surprise that night, nor is it that he blocked the reinforcements of the 1000th Infantry Brigade with only 36 people. He predicted the general area where the 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade would appear at least one week in advance, and used this week to mobilize the main force of the Jiashan front-line infantry to the main force of the Japanese infantry, so that the 18th Division gradually lost its vigilance and successfully escorted it Most of the infantry wing was transferred away, and it was finally possible to complete this miraculous night attack.

That was also the biggest blow to the heavy firepower of the Japanese army on the entire Songhu battlefield, and it also indirectly prompted the 67th Army and 128th Division to withdraw from Jiaxing safely.

Otherwise, according to China's own estimation, even if the three infantry divisions have the wings of the defense line, they will lose at least half of them.

Without this great achievement, no matter how tough Tang Dao is, he would never be able to become a regiment-level commander in one fell swoop, especially when he is so deeply bound to the Northeast Army.

"Hey! First of all, Brother Zhang, you underestimated who valued the battle of Xuzhou. The defeat in Songhu at least shattered the arrogance of the Japanese invaders who claimed to destroy our entire China in three months, but the defeat in Jinling Let him lose all face. The four defense lines that cost a lot of money were almost hollowed out by those important officials under him, and the Jinling guard was appointed by him. Although the public opinion was temporarily suppressed, as a leader, this He had to take the blame.

Then in this battle, one must earn some face back, even if they lose again, there will be victory in the defeat, unlike the Jinling defense battle, which is almost a one-sided defeat.For this reason, he even did not hesitate to delegate power to let Chief Li command the hundreds of thousands of troops.Otherwise, with his personality style, which of those deputy commanders is not his cronies? "Tang Dao laughed.

"In this way, Chief Li has enough autonomy. When he asks for military expenses, it's so difficult to get back the [-] ocean military expenses of my Four Lines Regiment."

"Well, that's true!" Commander Zhang nodded. "However, Chief Li doesn't owe you Tang Dao's favor, so I won't help you so much just because of my face!"

"Brother Zhang, you underestimated your energy too much." Tang Dao seemed to have expected Commander Zhang to have such doubts. "If it was before today, it would be fine, but after today, Brother Zhang, your status in front of Chief Li will only increase, and he will value it even more!"

As soon as Tang Dao said this, Commander Zhang's tiger eyes couldn't help but flash.

He is upright, but it doesn't mean he doesn't understand the unspoken rules in the officialdom, of course he understands what Tang Dao said.

As one of the few people in the topmost building, who is currently the commander of the fifth theater also hopes to have a good record in this battle-level battle, but this battle is not just him. Directly under the Guangxi Clan, there are still Sichuan Army, Yunnan Army, Northeast Army, Northwest Army and other troops.

It’s okay to say that these miscellaneous military departments are here. Since they are here, they are nothing more than fighting to the death with the Japanese. The most troublesome thing for Chief Li may be his direct descendants, such as the 20th Legion. Almost the norm.

It is inevitable to win over the most famous generals in various factions and take the opportunity to suppress someone's direct line, and he, the former No. 29 figure in the [-]th Army and the No. [-] man in the Northeast Army, Commander Wu Dajun, is simply an inevitable candidate.

Then, today, for Tang Dao, the two joined forces.Moreover, he sat in the heavily guarded liaison office of the 67th Army and had secret talks with Commander Wu Dajun and Tang Dao. Wouldn't this make people imagine?
The two major factions of the Northeast Army and the Northwest Army, more than one hundred thousand people participated in this battle, who would dare to ignore it?

"Hehe, I said earlier that you rose up on the battlefield and didn't understand the darkness of people's hearts, but now it seems that I was too worried." Commander Zhang couldn't help laughing. "I didn't expect you to think about those people's thoughts so thoroughly. Okay, I will help you with this. You ask your logistics officer to make a list of all the funds owed to your department by the Military and Political Department. I will find Commander Li, let the war zone pay for it first, and then ask the military and political department for it, it can be regarded as my statement! From now on, I don’t know if that person will blame my 59th Army a lot!"

"Brother Zhang, we Chinese often say: People who are not my race must have different hearts! But for that principal, it has always been that students who are not me are not good people!" Tang Dao sighed slightly.

It is true that Tang Dao entrusted this person to ask for money, but it is also true that he indirectly asked this person to choose a camp.The former 59th Army performed well in the Battle of LY, and was finally reorganized into the 33rd Army, which indirectly led to its death in the famous Zaoyi Battle.

If possible, Tang Dao would rather this patriotic general not have that promotion, maybe he could change his fate.

Of course, it is pure nonsense to change one's destiny just by not being promoted. There are still two years before that battle, and Tang Dao still has enough time to plan, such as the batch of arms in the warehouse in the Jincheng Concession.

Tang Dao remembers that the reason why this patriotic general died was because the Japanese army detected the dense radio information and locked the location of his headquarters, and dispatched elite infantry to attack. At that time, the guards around the Chinese general usually used submachine guns for intensive firepower. The firepower configuration of the shell gun.

If the submachine guns and shell guns with fierce output firepower are used in urban street battles, they are naturally sharp weapons. When the triggers of a dozen submachine guns are pulled, the flames ejected by even heavy machine guns have to be avoided temporarily.

But what about in the field?Submachine guns and shell guns have a range of only [-] meters, and light infantry equipped with rifles, light machine guns, and grenade grenades can completely hang at long distances. When the ammunition for maintaining firepower is almost exhausted, it will be the end of the day.

Therefore, submachine guns and shell guns are good weapons, but it also depends on where they are used. If they are replaced with semi-automatic rifles, the defense will be greatly increased, and the batch of munitions in Jincheng can fully satisfy all this.

"Haha! Brother, you are right. Since I choose to guard my homeland, I just have to have a clear conscience, and I don't care what he does with so many dogs!" Commander Zhang is also a free and easy person, and he laughed aloud at that moment.

Tang Dao was naturally overjoyed to have solved such a big problem suddenly by accident.

You know, Comrade Wu originally wanted to ask for military expenses for him in person, but once he stepped out, things might get more complicated. Tang Dao came to Xuzhou City just to find an opportunity to see if he could meet the general Commander, but that chance is obviously slim.

Judging from the current situation, the one who is busy with military affairs, not to mention a small colonel, is a major general, and he is not easy to see, even Comrade Wu, who is expensive as a lieutenant general, has to line up, right?
And since this guy said he would do it for him, he will definitely do it. In this way, he has the funds to buy pack horses and carts, and he has the rewards he promised to honor the officers and soldiers earlier, which is a big worry.

At this time, the guards at the liaison office just brought up the pastries and fruits they had just bought on the street, especially fruits, which were rare in this era without greenhouses, and were considered rare items.

The instinctive desire of human beings is still to eat. Whether it is a lieutenant general or a colonel, it is difficult to resist this appetite. After eating and chatting, the topic is much easier than talking about human nature and heart before.

Tang Dao comes from the future, and his knowledge and vision are wider than that of Commander Zhang. Every time he raises a new topic, this patriotic general feels fresh. There are also many local customs and customs, calm and meticulous temperament, but also a little hearty. Although the two people have a huge age difference and even a difference of almost a century in thinking, they complement each other and chat very speculatively.

This is still the first friend Tang Dao met in this era who can chat. There are many people around Tang Dao. Comrades love and care for him extremely, like a brother and more like an uncle.

But Commander Zhang is different from them. Although he is more than 20 years older, he has a broad mind and unique insights into things, which fits Tang Dao very well.

Putting aside the age factor and removing the halo of the anti-Japanese hero, this famous anti-Japanese general in the future, in the eyes of Tang Dao, is not only a comrade who can depend on life and death on the battlefield, but also an interesting good friend.

In this world, there may be quite a few comrades who can fight side by side with you and die calmly because of their responsibilities, but those who can be called interesting friends are really rare.

However, despite his passion, Tang Dao could still see the gloom in his eyes.Tang Dao seems rough, but in fact his mind is also delicate, after thinking about it, he knows why he is like this.

A group army commander who can write down his last words with his wife before going to the battlefield, may be ashamed in his life as the Battle of Yanjing, not because of defeat, but because he was a lieutenant general and commander of an army with more than 3 troops. He even chose to serve as the mayor for peace talks.

However, how could such a smart person do such an unwise thing, trying to hold peace talks with the ambitious Japanese army to preserve the land of Pingjin?And because of this, it was criticized by the military and civilians all over the country.This point is rarely recorded in military history.

The military history is only recorded in this way. In August 1937, after the loss of Pingjin, the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs revoked the designation of the 8th Army, and expanded the remnants it withdrew from Peiping into the 29st Army, which consisted of 1 infantry corps and 3 cavalry corps. .Among them, the former 1th Division of the 29th Army and the Special Service Brigade were combined to form the 38th Army, and 59% of the troops were subordinate to the elder of the former 80.00th Division.

Logically speaking, he is the commander of the 59th Army, but because he held the post of mayor of Yanjing for peace talks, not only did the peace talks fail, but it also accelerated the loss of Yanjing's important city, leading to a collapse of word of mouth and a crusade by the whole people.

Tang Dao knows very well that heart disease needs to be healed by heart medicine. If the heart injury is just avoided forever, it will never heal, just like in the future, he chooses to die in battle, which has an inevitable connection with this heart injury.

If you don't want to lose this comrade-in-arms who can be a friend, you must heal this heartache first.

And if you want to heal the wound of your heart as quickly as possible, there is nothing better than facing it directly, uncovering the scar, and exposing the bloody wound to others.

"Brother Zhang, I know you are wise, but why did you do such an unwise thing? I can't figure it out, there must be something hidden in it! Brother Zhang, please don't blame me for being abrupt!" Tang Dao faced the patriotic general.

Hearing Tang Dao's question, Zhang Junchang, who was still full of excitement just now, looked sad.

He got up and went to the window, lit a cigarette and was silent for a long time before he said bitterly: "This is the shame of my life, Mr. Zhang, even if Chief Li told me about it, I would never be honest.

Forget it, it's rare that you, Tang Dao, the anti-Japanese hero, don't dislike me, Zhang, who once had a bad reputation, call me big brother, and I will tell you about my experience since the July [-]th Incident, so that you can know, I, Zhang, It is definitely not the traitor described by those literati! "
