Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 785 No surprises!
"Call the group again, where have they arrived!"

Lei Xiong paced back and forth anxiously in a very simple main room.

This is the temporary residence of the Four Elements Regiment Headquarters, rented from a local farmer.

The main force including the three infantry battalions and the artillery battalion of the Four Elements Regiment have been stranded here for two days.

Originally, according to the Tang Dao Army Order, the main force of the Four-element Regiment led by Lei Xiong was responsible for opening the way for the heavy-loaded convoy, which was about 100 kilometers ahead of the convoy for a journey of nearly three days. Converge and proceed to Zhengzhou.

But after leaving southern Jiangsu and entering the small town at the junction of Henan, Shandong, Jiangsu, and Anhui provinces, an infantry squad in charge of forward reconnaissance lost news after entering Mount Mangshang, the only way ahead.

This is a situation that the Four Elements Regiment has never encountered. The infantry squad of the Second Battalion and the Third Company is in charge of this reconnaissance mission. A heavily armed infantry squad would never be swallowed up easily like this without even sounding the alarm.

Frightened and furious, Lei Xiong did not immediately send more reconnaissance troops into the vast Mangshang Mountain area to search for traces of the missing persons, but instead sent many people disguised as civilians to inquire in the town.

Sure enough, this inquiry yielded a lot of news.

Three days ago, an army of more than 20 people hastily entered the Mangshang Mountain area. Although he didn't know its number, Lei Xiong instinctively thought of the [-]th Legion that Tang Dao had offended in Xuzhou City.

After Tang Dao received Lei Xiong's telegram, he immediately called Comrade Wu, who was in the headquarters of the 67th Army. Not long after, Comrade Wu called: The area where the 20th Army was ordered to station, except Weishan Lake, added Manshang Mountain area!Be careful!

Although he didn't believe that the 20th Legion would dare to confront friendly troops in the war zone, Tang Dao would rather think darker than put the lives of more than 2000 members of the Four Elements Regiment in the hands of others.

Two years later, in the Southern Anhui Incident, some people mercilessly killed friendly troops to prove this point.

Tang Dao immediately sent a telegram to Lei Xiong: the whole army stops advancing, and no more reconnaissance troops will be sent to the mountains. Everything will be decided after the whole army gathers.

The full-loaded transport team of equipment and materials moved closer to the main force led by Lei Xiong, and Lei Xiong could only obey the order to let three infantry battalions start to deploy their defenses around the small village where the troops were stationed.

Everything was in accordance with wartime standards. In two days, the first battalion who stayed behind in the village dug three trenches outside the village. The second artillery company was inside the village, the first artillery company was behind the village, and the second and third battalions dug temporary field positions on the rear flanks. .

With the current strength of the Four Elements Regiment, as long as they are not besieged by enemies with more than three times their strength, it is no problem to hold them for two days.What makes Lei Xiong feel anxious is that due to the battle of Guangde consuming 80.00% of the ammunition, the ammunition stocks of the infantry and artillery of the Four Elements Regiment are now appallingly low, and the 20th Army Corps stationed in the mountains after waiting for more than a day It was discovered that the Four Elements Group had begun to set up field positions, and there was a phenomenon that they were about to move.

The scouts scouting outside the mountain found at least two infantry regiment numbers, which means that at any time, 6000 people may attack the main force of the four-row regiment with only a thousand people.

Like Tang Dao, Lei Xiong, who has seen countless internal strife and even fought against each other, will never underestimate the darkness of some people. Those butchers are sometimes even more vicious than the Japanese when they kill their own people.

Lei Xiong had heard from his old boss how a few years ago in Jiangxi province, those executioners wielded butcher knives at ordinary people, and those who participated in excessive farming would be killed!Heads rolled, villages were massacred and households wiped out, it can be said that thousands of miles away, in the end, many soldiers began to refuse to accept military orders, but those superiors showed no mercy.

However, facing such a predicament, it was the first time in Lei Xiong's life. He didn't want to raise his gun against his compatriots, but when he thought that an infantry squad was still in the hands of those people and had even been wiped out, the resentment in his heart couldn't be added. The decision can only be made by Tang Dao, the backbone.

Perhaps it was not only Lei Xiong who was restless in the face of this sudden situation of going to war with his own people, but also the first time for the officers and soldiers of the Four Elements Regiment.

They can kill the enemy or die, but they are facing the foreign bandits. Their hearts are extremely determined, but when they think that the person on the other side who is shot by their own bullets or shoots the bullets is actually one of their own, what kind of mood will they feel?
sad?sad?anger?
Perhaps, both!Incomparably complicated.

However, the only certainty is that they are not afraid.

No matter who it is, as long as they dare to shoot at them, the only thing they can do is to shoot back.

This is an army that has been tempered countless times in the flames of war. They trust their officers and comrades-in-arms. No matter who wants to kill them, it is absolutely impossible not to pay a sufficient price.

. . . . . . . .

In Mount Shangshan!

In a wooden house made of logs, a middle-aged soldier with two gold stars inlaid on his collar badge was concentrating on the military map in front of him, until an army colonel shouted "Report!"

"Come in!" The middle-aged soldier rubbed his stiff brows and roared softly.

Seeing the army colonel striding in, he frowned, "What, the Four Elements Regiment is still standing still?"

"Yes, Commander, the Four Elements Regiment seems to be frightened. Not only did they stand still, but they also dug a lot of trenches around the village where they were stationed, and they didn't send anyone to negotiate with our department!" The army colonel stood at attention. Reply.

"Oh?" The middle-aged soldier frowned slightly, stood up and paced back and forth with his hands behind his back.

"Master, everyone said that the four-element regiment is tough. I didn't think about it. I captured an infantry squad of him and scared them like this. I think it's better to be famous than to meet each other!" The colonel said arrogantly.

"That's right! If we had known that capturing a small infantry squad would scare the Tangtang Four Elements into such a state, we might as well let them go into the mountains." The middle-aged soldier also shook his head in frustration. "However, these guys are too cautious. The scouts are seven or eight kilometers ahead of the main force. No matter how deep our department hides, there are tens of thousands of troops. It is inevitable that they will not find out!"

"Master, what should we do now?" The colonel showed helplessness on his face. "They passed through the normal defense area of ​​our department. Our department can find a reason to search them and find out those recruits they recruited in Xuzhou who have not yet been registered, including the little Taoist priest who caused conflicts, and beat him severely. Captain Tang’s face. But now they don’t come at all, and our department can’t take the initiative to go out to find their troubles! If the two armies open fire, the commander in Xuzhou who has long been dissatisfied with the regiment leader will definitely take the opportunity to find troublesome."

"Don't come in! That's easy to handle, let them stay there, unless they don't want to leave, stay here and wait for the Japanese to call, just to block for me!" The middle-aged soldier After walking a few more steps with his hands behind his back, his eyes showed cunning.

"If that awesome head Tang wants to negotiate with our department, reply him. Our department was ordered to garrison Mangshang Mountain. Naturally, we will strictly investigate all people who pass through this area. This is the responsibility of our department. Unidentified suspects will naturally be detained for interrogation!"

"By the way, did any of the dozen or so soldiers who were disarmed by our department give in?"

"No!" The colonel shook his head.

"They're still quite tough, and two of the whips that were wet with water were broken. No one is willing to sign a letter saying that the side of their regiment leader has an affair, and that they went to the north to rely on that side."

"Really? That means the beating wasn't hard enough. Keep beating me! Beat them softly, and tell me that Tang, who is surnamed Tang, wants to go there. You know, what the old man hates most is not corruption and incompetence, but Take refuge there, as long as you give this name to Tang, not to mention that the 67th Army and the 43rd Army can't solve the case for him, even if the commander of the theater can take my 20th Army Corps?" The middle-aged soldier's face showed cruel.

"Yes! I understand!" The colonel stood at attention and raised his chest.

The two soldiers who racked their brains to deal with Tang Dao and the Four Elements Regiment would never have dreamed that they would not have to worry about putting these charges on their foreheads. When the Four Elements Regiment arrived at their destination two months later, they would never return. It was in the northern mountainous area. "Set up a camp" and fought fiercely with the Japanese, and the mind of "seeking refuge there" is already clearly revealed.

In the words of Tang Dao, who is to blame if I am the one?It's not that the bosses persuaded me to show some face to a certain principal, so as not to offend his high blood pressure, I will immediately change the flag and show you.

And at the moment when the two soldiers were still plotting, five or six kilometers away from the mountain.

A group of cavalry led a journey of wind and dust, and rushed into the heavily guarded position of the Four Elements Regiment.

The leading soldier entered the entrance of the village, jumped off his horse, threw the reins to the soldiers who came up, untied the black scarf covering his face, and strode towards the village.

That is Tang Dao.

His face was calm, as if he didn't know that a dozen of his soldiers were missing in the mountains, but there were tens of thousands of "friendly troops" staring at him in the mountains.

Only those who are familiar with him know how angry Tang Dao is!
Just like a volcano, before it erupts, it is so calm that it makes one's heart palpitate!

But once it erupts, it will be a tsunami that can make the earth tremble and the ocean roll up monstrous waves!
