Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 777 The whole group rejoices!

Early the next morning, two elderly drunks who were still soundly asleep were woken up.

The whole regiment of the Four Elements Group is about to break out and march towards Zhengzhou.

The various rewards and pensions that were originally scheduled to be issued in the morning were scattered due to many original troops, and the calculation of collective rewards was extremely complicated. The Military Supply Department calculated for most of the night and there were still some errors in the data. Tang Dao, who woke up early in the morning, decided the money After the calculation is clear, it will be released.

The money was bought by the brothers with their lives and blood. Maybe most of them are right, but as long as there are a few people who are wrong, it is a blasphemy of sacrifice and bravery. This is a situation that Tang Dao will never allow. .

Knowing that the regiment has money, it only pays more attention to the reward data because it respects everyone's contribution. It passed smoothly.

Without the big event of awarding rewards, the scheduled marching time of the Four Elements Regiment has been advanced. Tang Dao has an intuition that it is not too late to leave Xuzhou.

Changes later.

Tang Dao's intuition is very accurate.

In the early morning, a telegram sent from the 20th Army Corps was already lying on the desk of the Military and Political Department.

However, its content was not a complaint to the Four Elements Group, but a great compliment, thinking that such an elite army would let it leave the theater like this, which would be an incomparably huge loss to the upcoming battle.

Even, at the end of the telegram, the lieutenant general commander believed from years of experience in the army that the Four Elements Regiment could reach at least one infantry regiment of the Japanese army.

This evaluation is frighteningly high.

As far as the current comparison of the strength of the Chinese and Japanese armies is concerned, a Japanese infantry regiment is often compared with a Chinese infantry division.

The two infantry armies of the entire 20th Corps have more than 50,000 people, and they didn't say that they were used to compete with a reorganized division of the Japanese army.

The Battle of Xuzhou, carefully planned by the Supreme Military Council and executed by the Fifth Theater, originally planned to invest 40 troops. Later, it was discovered that the number of troops mobilized by the Japanese army exceeded the original estimate of 150,000, so another 20 troops were mobilized to gather in the direction of the theater.

To ensure the victory of the battle, the Chinese side must guarantee a certain degree of confidence in the 3:1 troop ratio. This has been the consensus of the Chinese side from bottom to top after nearly half a year of war.

And the head of the legion actually said that the current strength is only more than a thousand, and the newly expanded four-element regiment can be equivalent to an infantry regiment.

If it wasn't for having an extremely deep understanding of the combat effectiveness of this infantry regiment, it would be the legendary flattery.

Obviously, the one who has never had much dealings with the Four Elements can only be the latter.

Originally, 60 troops were invested, and it is nothing to send more than a thousand people from a mere four-element regiment into a war zone. Moreover, it was the suggestion of a senior officer at the level of a student army commander who is a direct descendant of a certain principal, and the number two in the army was hardly used. After approval, the officials of the military and political department below can re-issue the military order to let the Four Elements Regiment be repaired and put into the battlefield.

But the legion commander obviously underestimated the influence of the Sichuan Army behind the Four Elements Regiment.

Today's Sichuan army is not the Sichuan army before the war started.

Before the start of the war, the Sichuan army had only guns but no cannons, and a bong was pinned to the waist. They were wearing straw sandals and carrying bamboo hats, and they were scumbags. To say that they were beggars was simply the truest portrayal of the Sichuan army at that time.

Not to mention that the people along the way who looked at their military appearance had no high hopes for them, even those in power who called the army of the whole country to resist the Japanese felt that it was a big mistake to get them out of the mountains.

But it was this army of beggars who gave everyone a big mouth, no matter if they were Chinese or Japanese.

Their equipment is impeccable, but Brother Pao's spirit of never loosening his belt is second to none in the national army.

On the southeast battlefield, from the battle of Songhu to the battle of Guangde, the Sichuan army fought everywhere, defending the position to the death and causing the entire army to be blacked out in one or two positions, and killed no less Japanese than any warlord of any faction.

On the northern battlefield, the poorer 22nd Group Army, which started from northern Sichuan, also fought bloody battles with the Japanese invaders in the mountains of northwest Shanxi.

The Sichuan Army almost used its life and flesh and blood to prove itself in this dimensionality reduction war initiated by the Japanese Army.

They are no worse than any army, and they can become one of the mainstays in defending the country.

The Sichuan army can be said to have become famous in the first battle.

Even though their supreme commander had passed away due to illness a few days ago, and they are now leaderless, no one in the highest command organization dared to ignore them.

If you want to change the military order and send them into the battlefield, you must get the approval of their generals.

Second, as the war progressed, the status of Sichuan Province, surrounded by the Qinling and Wushan Mountains, was also quietly changing.

China has three major plains, the Northeast Plain, the North China Plain, and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River Plain.

These three plains are the most fertile areas in China, but now two of them have fallen, and the largest plain in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River has also fallen into the flames of war.

If this great plain is lost again, the inland of China is actually open, and there is no danger to defend. The Japanese army can go all the way south from the southeast to attack South China.

After the loss of Jinling at the highest level, the most pessimistic plan has actually been prepared, that is, East China, Central China, and South China will all be lost. What should we do?
Some Western countries have even suggested to the highest level to establish a government-in-exile in their country. The Western world is not optimistic about China, which has a weak industry at this time, to win this war by its own strength.

Although some people connive at the corruption of the four big families, they are at least one of the most prominent political figures in China at this time.

There are the Tianzhu Yangtze River, the Qinling and Wushan Mountains with high mountains and thousands of blades, and the fertile Chuanzhong Basin. The Japanese can't enter those places except for planes, tanks and artillery.

In order to enter Sichuan Province, the support of the local local snake generals in Sichuan Province is indispensable.

With such a strategy, the status of Sichuan Province can no longer move forward.

The Ministry of Military and Political Affairs pressed the message, and first consulted Commander Guo, who was accepting the reorganization of the 43rd Army by the security regiment sent by Sichuan Province, but the result was naturally dismissed angrily.

The 43rd Army was beaten to the point where there were only a thousand people left. Why, the Chinese were all dead, and the 43rd Army had to fill in the thousand people?One sentence was so blocked that the high-ranking officials of the Military and Political Department could not utter a word.

The long-planned conspiracy was stillborn like this, and it hadn't even spread to the fifth theater. Otherwise, with Comrade Wu's violent temper, he wouldn't be able to point someone's nose at the commander-level meeting of the theater headquarters. .

The Northeast Army even captured that big boss in the past, and even if they are squeezed out again now, it is because of the face of the anti-Japanese united front, but it does not mean that they are soft and dare not speak out even if they are pushed on their noses and bullied to the head. Egg.

At this moment, there are nearly [-] Northeast Army troops gathered in Xuzhou, and the Northeast people are not stingy with their tempers. I am afraid that the general surnamed Tang will have a few bruises on his face.

The catastrophe caused by Tang Dao in Xuzhou City was reported to his immediate superior, Commander Guo. Comrade Guo, who is smart and calculating, immediately sent a warning letter to the Four Elements Regiment Headquarters after receiving the inquiry telegram from the Military and Political Department. There are only two words: leave quickly!

Fortunately, the Four Elements Group at that time was already on the way to leave.

. . . . . . . . .

According to Tang Dao's deployment, the cavalry company led by the cavalry platoon and guard company, as well as Gong Shaoxun who was waiting outside the arsenal, joined the supply company, which already had a strength of nearly 700 people, to collect the ammunition, while the other four-element regiments left first.

Lei Xiong sat in the regiment headquarters and left with the main force. Tang Dao took Zhuang Shisan and Gong Shaoxun to hand over weapons and equipment. The two armies will meet at Taojiaji, 40 kilometers away.

The whole regiment of the Four Elements Regiment got up at about 6:6 in the morning, packed all the luggage around 7:[-], had breakfast at [-]:[-], and started to leave the station at [-]:[-].

It was already 8 o'clock when the subordinates of the regiment headquarters started to set off, and then they woke up the two who were still sleeping soundly.

The two were still a little confused, so they were helped into the carriage by the guards, and the other stuffed two steamed buns for breakfast, and set off for the outside of the town.

"Where is your regiment leader? I remember he was also drunk!" The handsome middle-aged man obviously hadn't seen the situation clearly, and asked in surprise as he looked at the long Ma Long marching on the simple road from afar.

"The commander of the regiment and the guard company set off an hour ago." A sergeant squad leader walking beside the carriage with a gun on his back answered quickly.

"Tang Dao isn't drunk?" An ominous thought suddenly flashed in Tantai Yunshu's mind.

The little cotton-padded jacket and that guy were already engaged, so many scruples were eliminated, and then the guy was persuaded by himself and Artest to drink a lot of wine, and the most important thing was that this damn time was still late at night.

The more he thought about it, the more panicked the old father became.

At that moment, the handsome middle-aged man even began to hate himself for being so familiar with human nature. Wouldn't it be better for him to be confused?
"I'm not drunk! Our regiment's drinking capacity, I heard that the two army commanders, Guo and Wu, and several division commanders have never drunk our regiment!" Seeing that the future father-in-law of the regiment is so 'concerned', the sergeant squad leader hurriedly comfort him.

That means, don't worry, as long as you are like this, it is no problem for one group member to drink ten of you.

The handsome middle-aged man was alone in the wind, and his heart was like ten thousand hippos rushing past, not a muddy mess, but a mess.

Does this count as shooting yourself in the foot?

Perhaps only the old servant Artai next to him understood the old master's thoughts the most, and quietly pulled the middle-aged handsome guy, "Master, just ask Miss when she returned home last night."

"Oh, yes, when did your Captain Tantai leave?" Tantai Yunshu tried his best to keep his face calm, and asked the sergeant squad leader.

"About eleven o'clock! Not long after I helped you to rest." The sergeant squad leader thought for a while and gave a fairly accurate time period.

In the end, for this peace of mind.

"Don't worry, our team will personally send reporter Tantai back to the station."

Tantai Yunshu's face was a little dark.

It's that brat, I don't worry about it!
Fortunately, the middle-aged handsome guy is a social person, and he knows that the "love between men and women" cannot be guarded against. To guard against today, there will be tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

If you want people not to gossip, if your daughter is not the core of gossip, the most important thing is to give her a name.

There was a kind smile on his face: "Little brother, don't yell like you are old, you are old, you are yelling, and the old man is awkward to listen to, and the old man, daughter, son-in-law and you are also colleagues, we are all a family." , from now on, just call the old man Mr. Tantai."

"What does Mr. Tantai mean?" Many guards who followed the march looked over in surprise.

The sergeant squad leader and the few people who were on duty last night knew that the chief of the regiment had personally proposed to this man, and the chief and the big reporter Tantai had been named, but the guards did not dare to spread this news without the permission of the chief of the regiment. , This is the most basic rule of the guards, so in fact, more than half of the guards who are left in charge of Tantai Yunshu's safety don't know it.

"What's the point of that? The old man made the decision last night. Tang Dao and the little girl are already engaged. After Tang Dao notifies his parents in a letter, they will choose a date to get married!" The middle-aged handsome man released the explosive news with a smile.

"The head of the regiment is engaged and will get married soon!" The news was really explosive, and spread throughout the regiment through the guard squad like a gust of wind.

The soldiers of the Four Elements Regiment all smiled when they heard the news!
"The regiment is mighty!" Soldiers on some roads even shouted slogans loudly.

"Mr. Tantai, congratulations! Congratulations! I thank you on behalf of the whole group of the Four Elements. I can't thank you enough. Lei Xiong sent you a few tins of canned Japanese meat to try!" After hearing the news, Lei Xiong rode from a distance Come over, grinning and thanking Tantai Yunshu.

"The old man has vision, your son-in-law will definitely bring glory to your Tantai family! On behalf of the whole of the three battalions, I wish you a long life!" Leng Feng has always been concise, even if he said thank you.

"Old Mr. Tantai, you still have to have the foresight to choose such a good son-in-law as our group. From now on, if your Tantai family needs help with anything, just say hello, and I, Li Jiujin, will count as two." The bars are all broken, so I will crawl over to help you." Li Jiujin ran over panting, and saluted the handsome middle-aged man formally, which was extremely rare.

"Thank you Mr. Tantai."

. . . . . . .

In just half an hour, at least three school officers, six captains, and a dozen lieutenants came to thank the handsome middle-aged man.

There were even seven or eight student representatives from the student company came to visit the teacher and asked the teacher to march with the student company. The student company hoped to celebrate the happy event that the teacher was about to marry a daughter.

Obviously, they also think that the teacher and Tang Dao's marriage is an excellent thing.

Tang Dao's reputation in the army he commanded was undeniably high, and Tantai Yunshu could still understand that he was a comrade who had fought side by side after all, but how long had his 300 students marched with them?
Moreover, as a teacher, Tantai Yunshu knows the pride of his students. Except for academics, it is difficult for anyone to convince them, but Tang Dao seems to have done it, which makes Tantai Yunshu feel confident about the son-in-law he has chosen. A deeper understanding.

It seems that his son-in-law is even better than he imagined!
On the other side of the medical team, Tantai Mingyue, the betrothed party, received much more congratulations than a certain old father who thought about it.

Almost all the officers above the company commander level went to congratulate them without hesitation, leaving behind all kinds of strange gifts that almost filled two large boxes.

Among them, knives seized from the Japanese army and gadgets made of bullet casings accounted for the majority, full of military atmosphere.

There are very few red envelopes, mainly because these officers, like their chiefs, eat a big pot of rice, and poverty is their common feature at present.

And those wounded who are still being treated by the medical team cheered even more loudly: "I wish Captain Tantai and the officer have a precious son soon!"

"Captain Tantai is the most beautiful!"

. . . . . . .

Different from other officers and soldiers, this group of severely wounded who were still recuperating were all rescued from the death line, and only they knew their gratitude to Tantai Mingyue who ran for them in search of medicine and food supplies. Mingyue's popularity in the medical team even surpassed that of Tang Dao, the supreme commander.

But everyone still has hidden worries. Knowing that Tantai Mingyue's true identity is a war reporter rather than a soldier, maybe she will leave sooner or later.

And when she knew that the two were going to get married, Tantai Mingyue was completely integrated with the Four Elements Group, no wonder they were so happy.

"In order to celebrate the engagement between the head of the regiment and Captain Tantai, at noon today, I, Lao Cai, paid out of my pocket for a treat, and invited all the brothers in the medical team to eat meat!" The shout of Cai Yongguan, who was able to walk slowly and was still recovering from his injuries, spread far and wide.

"Then I, Wei Dong, will invite you tonight!" Wei Dong was also very forthright.

The Quartermaster Department of the Four Elements Regiment has a regulation that each company can provide its own company with extra meals in addition to the prescribed meals, but the materials needed for the extra meals must be purchased from the Military Quartermaster Office.

To put it bluntly, it’s okay to reward the officers and soldiers under your command, but you have to pay for it. This is not something you just say when you are a company commander and battalion commander, and you have to pay for it from the regiment headquarters in the end.

This is also to prevent each company from going blind and finally bankrupting the regiment headquarters.

And if the company-level units want to be rich, it's very simple, just exchange for military merit!A devil has a head of five dollars, and a quartermaster is in charge of statistics. If there is a false report, according to the size of the corruption, the maximum sentence is to be shot.

Head Tang had already warned all the company commanders in such a way that he became so ruthless that he even slapped himself. He killed the Japanese without blinking his eyelids, but he killed his subordinates who seriously violated the military law, perhaps just blinking a few more eyelids.

That's the food for two to three hundred people. If each person adds a bowl of meat, at the current price, not to mention a lot, it will cost more than ten yuan.

Absolutely generous.

"Company commander, where did we get the money!" Perhaps only Tudou was guilty. "The rewards issued by the regiment headquarters have not been issued, have they?"

"It doesn't matter, take my Lao Cai's big knife and press it to the military supply department, tell them that the funds needed will be deducted from my Lao Cai's bonus, I see who dare not give it away, and treat the heads of the devils chopped off by Lao Tzu Yongguan for nothing." It was cut!" Cai Yongguan said with a big grin.

"Brothers don't need to spend money, please Mingyue today, I will treat the whole group of brothers to eat meat." Tantai Mingyue faced the flood of blessings, although she was a little shy, she was generous.

For Tantai Mingyue, these blessings are the greatest recognition for her, and it is also the first time she feels that, regardless of the factor of Tang Dao, she has already integrated into the team of the Four Elements.

Everyone here will be her comrades-in-arms, not just the heroes she writes to inspire the whole country.

"Long live Captain Tantai!"

The marching soldiers all cheered.

"Captain Tantai, where did you get the money? You didn't send any money!" Tudou was born to worry about his life regardless of his young age.

"It's okay, my father isn't here! I don't have money, but he has money!" Tantai Mingyue was very domineering.

Is it the old man who pays for Mao again?

Seeing the young soldier running panting to ask for money, the handsome middle-aged man was in a mess again!
