Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 805 Everything is ready!

I have to say that the middle-aged handsome guy's trick is quite flamboyant!
In the name of Tang Dao, the head of the Four Elements Regiment, all the gentry and military and government officials who sent invitations will reply, inviting them to attend the New Year's Eve party of the Four Elements Regiment.

Basically, no one would refuse an invitation from a leader of the heroic group, and they wrote back that they would definitely come on New Year's Eve, saying that they must see the heroic appearance of the Four Elements Group with their own eyes.

These are pretty words, and maybe they are telling the truth in their hearts, otherwise they would not know how to brag to others when they go back, right?

In the end, after statistics, the number of households that expressed their intention to participate in the New Year's Eve party of the Four Elements Group was as high as 266, not to mention sweeping away all the prominent figures in the big city of Zhengzhou!There is a third.

Seeing that the battle was getting a bit serious, and it was a bit different from his original intention of having a happy New Year with the officers and soldiers of his regiment and instilling some patriotism, Tang Dao simply gritted his teeth and became cruel , decided that since this is already the case, it is better to make the momentum bigger.

He summoned Lei Xiong, Gong Shaoxun, and Zhuang Shisan, and briefly expressed his thoughts.

The three lieutenant colonels collectively opened their mouths!

Tang Tuanzuo wanted to shock Yuxing!
It turned out that Tang Dao wanted to have a military parade belonging to the Four Elements Regiment before the party, so that the officers and soldiers of the whole regiment could show their demeanor in front of the people of Yu Province.

That is not only for the public to see the demeanor of the Four Elements Regiment, but also for the hearts of the people who are on the verge of the war, and to explain to them the Four Elements Regiment's firm attitude towards the war of resistance.

Of course, there is no problem in doing so, but the Four Elements Regiment is just a small regiment-level unit. When they came to the territory of the first war zone, they held military-civilian gatherings and military parades with great fanfare. What would the First Theater Command, which was devastated by the war, think?
Especially the commander-in-chief, who is a prominent figure in the government.

This is what the three lieutenant colonels thought of at the same time.

"They will agree, and I will personally invite the commander of the first theater, whether he will come forward or not, but at this time, he will definitely agree." Tang Dao said very firmly.

Tang Dao understands human nature too well.

The first war zone has been at a disadvantage in the confrontation with the Japanese army along the Yellow River at the moment, and the defense line is about to be lost. The Ping-Han line, the main traffic artery, urgently needs to boost morale.

And allowing the Four Elements Group to hold military-civilian gatherings outside Zhengzhou City is, in a sense, an expression of the relaxed attitude of the high-level officials. expression of confidence.

People are so strange, things that are obviously difficult to do, as long as you have enough confidence, you may be able to do it; on the contrary, things that are obviously possible, once your self-confidence disappears, you will not be able to do it.

Of course, the three lieutenant colonels didn't know that Tang Dao simply let go and went big, which had another deep meaning.

He did it for someone who was watching him secretly.

Before the 89th Division threatened Tang Dao with the trumped-up charges fabricated out of thin air, Tang Dao actually sensed the crisis.

After the four-element group arrived in Xuzhou, there were a lot of prying eyes around them. Whether it was in the small town where the whole day was spent or in the flowery city of Xuzhou, Tang Dao's keen intuition reminded him that the surrounding area of ​​the four-element group Spy is indispensable.

With the current strength of the Four Elements Group, it is not enough for the Japanese to use spies and spies to keep watching him, so there is only one possibility.

Keeping a low profile can only bring suspicion, so it's better to show off one's own strength openly. The bigger the disturbance, the more proof that one's conscience is clear.

Thieves always walk aside when they walk, don’t they?
After all, in the north now, no matter whether it is that army or Yan Laoxier, they are all thorns in his side.

"Then it's settled. Tell the brothers, on New Year's Eve, cheer up for me. You guys set up a military parade. I will go to the theater headquarters to ask for instructions. Be sure to let the people of Yu Province see me. The demeanor of the tour group." Tang Dao made a direct decision.

Tang Dao, who is the chief officer of a regiment, has said so, so who can object.

The three chief officers were discussing the matter of formulating the military parade before the party, while Tang Dao rode a horse and took Lu Sanjiang's cavalry squad to the special squadron, and excitedly went to Zhengzhou City.

It stands to reason that Tang Dao is no more than a colonel in the army. Even if he is famous, it is already a great deal of face for the First Theater Command to send a major general-level senior officer to receive him.

Even Tang Dao himself didn't expect to do anything. Anyway, he only needs the approval of the First Theater Command to do this.

Who knows, when Tang Dao explained the situation, the colonel who was in charge of receiving him from the staff department of the First Theater Command asked him to wait a moment, and hurried back a moment later and told Tang Dao in surprise: "Commander Tang, the commander will arrive at 5 I will wait for you in the small living room in minutes."

Don't blame the colonel's staff for being surprised, even Tang Dao himself was also taken aback.

The commander of the first theater, but the general of the army, is in charge of nearly 200,000 troops.In the eyes of ordinary people, an infantry commander like Tang Dao who commands two or three thousand people is a high-ranking official, but in the eyes of such a big man, he is just a cannon fodder-level subordinate.

Moreover, the current commander of the first war zone and part-time chairman of Henan Province is a big man whose status in the government is not inferior to Commander Li of the fifth war zone. His military and political status is extremely high, and it is by no means comparable to ordinary second-level generals .

"Hello, Chief Cheng! Tang Dao is ordered to come and report!" Tang Dao stepped into the elegant small room full of Chinese style, standing still and marching.

An old man who is nearly 60 years old, wearing a military uniform without a military cap, and whose hairline has moved up a lot is looking down at the newspaper. Hearing the movement, he raises his eyes to look at Tang Dao who is standing upright, smiles slightly, and poses Waving his hand: "Teacher Tang, sit down, drink tea first, and let me read the news about your four-element group yesterday!"

"Yes!" Tang Dao sat down on the stool opposite the old man, his waist straightened.

Apparently, the purpose of calling him here should be to be a little curious about the news that the Four Elements Group is going to hold a military-civilian party.

After a while, the old man finished reading the newspaper and looked up at Tang Dao with a gentle expression on his face, "It is said that Commander Yi Tang is a man of the hour in the army. This really deserves his reputation. As soon as I came to the first war zone, I made such a big battle!"

Tang Dao put his hands on his knees and listened politely. He knew that this big man didn't want to hear his explanation, so he just needed to listen.

Seeing Tang Dao's very sophisticated manner, the old man smiled even more: "I asked you to come because I originally planned to attend this military-civilian party of your Four Elements Regiment. It's Chinese New Year! It has to be as lively as you guys of."

Tang Dao was overjoyed, if this leader of the military and government of Yu Province was present, the Four Elements Group would not only be more powerful, but I am afraid that if other people want to come to the party of the Four Elements Group, he will be able to sell tickets.

At that moment, Tang Dao's mind was full of tickets flying.

According to Zhuang Shisan's estimation, even if more than 200 local celebrities came here, even if each person only brought 100 silver gift envelopes, the Four Elements Group could earn more than 2 yuan.

However, before Tang Dao could speak, the old man sighed slightly: "But the battle report was sent from the front line just now. Now that I see you, I have to go to a battle meeting."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Tang Dao with a more solemn expression than before: "I just heard that you are going to hold not only a party, but also a military parade. I just want to ask you, why?"

"Report sir, as long as our soldiers' anti-war spirit is not lost, China will always be there! Therefore, I want to review the army of our regiment in the Chinese New Year!" Tang Dao stood up and answered at attention.

The old man didn't answer, but leaned over the desk with both hands, squinting at the upright Tang Dao. The small hall was extremely quiet, and the two soldiers, one old and one young, just looked at each other.

After a long time, a smile appeared on the corner of the old man's mouth: "Okay! You are right! I agree with your request, but the military parade is fine. Don't blow up a mountain with live ammunition like you did in Mangshang Mountain. "

Without giving Tang Dao a chance to speak, he waved his hand, "Go on your own! At that time, there will be a staff officer from the theater command to represent my first theater!"

"Yes!" Tang Dao gave a military salute, turned and left.

Walking out the door, the sweat on Tang Dao's forehead finally flowed down.

These big men are really unpredictable, calling him over seems to have asked a question without saying anything, but in fact, they beat Tang Dao for a long time.

Mentioning Mangshang Mountain is a warning to Tang Dao that your four-element group is just passing through here. Although what you do is a good thing, he does not object, but you have to be honest. In the line drawn by Lao Tzu's first battle, he The first war zone is not the gang of the 20th Legion, who will soften after being frightened by the shells of your Four Elements Regiment.

But after a while, he said that he would come to participate, and then immediately changed his words and said that the military situation was urgent and he needed to participate in the combat meeting. .

What does this mean? It means that the boss has already smelled the vigilance of the Tang Dao Four Elements Group.

As for the fact that a person of his level can turn a blind eye to a small group leader like Tang Dao, but still have to meet for a few minutes, and even click Tang Dao with something in his words, what is the meaning behind this?
Guess for yourself!

Smart people can understand it!
Combined with the decisiveness of this big man leading the military and civilian uprising in the whole province in the future, Tang Dao somewhat understands his thoughts.

This person's political vision and structure are definitely higher than many important officials who seem to be ahead of him.

What he meant was that I don't care which side you Tang Dao joins in the future, as long as you are a Chinese soldier, serving the country and the nation, and when you come to my territory, I will protect you.

That's because Tang Dao didn't have a long explanation, just use a sentence'The spirit of the War of Resistance is immortal! 'To answer the result of this person's why.

Otherwise, I'm afraid the outcome will be the opposite.

Maybe they won't take down Tang Dao, but if the Four Elements Group wants to do these things in the first theater, don't even think about it.

If it wasn't done well, once a military order was issued, his four-element regiment would have to march northwest overnight.

This should be the highest position Tang Dao has seen in this generation. His city is far deeper than Wu, Guo, and Zhang who are purely soldiers.

The three of them have also struggled in the officialdom, but after all, they are all in the army. They are a little more upright, but a little less tactful. Otherwise, Commander Zhang would not be covered by a big black pot. Then, in the end, he proved himself by martyrdom.

However, letting Tang Dao choose is naturally more willing to deal with soldiers.

Chatting with a boss of this level is really exhausting.

Fortunately, his purpose of coming to the First Theater Command was achieved.

. . . . . . . .

For the next two days, the four-element regiment was like a machine at full throttle.

Rehearse the program with a program, arrange the venue for those without a program.

The students are even entrusted with important tasks, and those who are basically literary and artistic are sent out by Mr. He to give guidance to each company. Even if they really want to perform a boulder in the chest, they can't just send a strong man to lie down in the center of the stage, and then Come up with a strong man bang bang, no, how can you say some lines

Because of the expansion of the scale of the celebration of the Four Elements Group, not only the [-] soldiers and civilians in the town, but also those who do business, go to the market, and watch the excitement in the town. Celebrities who came from Zhengzhou City.

The mayor of the town, Huang Siren, must have enough brains. It's the end of January, and most of the surrounding areas of the town are dry land, and wheat seedlings have been planted early. Food is the lifeblood of farmers, so they can't be touched, but there are still many vegetable fields, right?

Anyway, the vegetables in the vegetable field have been wiped out long ago, so why not use the vegetable garden on the west side of the town that covers an area of ​​more than ten mu, pave it with soil, and then use a stone roller to press it. There is a place for the military parade. Watch the show area is enough.

Not to mention, once these ten acres of land are leveled, the area is larger than a regular football field, and there is no problem with seating 6000 people.

Seeing that the residents in the small town were busy earning money, the Four Elements Group did not bother them. They dispatched an infantry battalion of hundreds of people to level the ground and compact it, and another infantry company of hundreds of people to build the stage. Two infantrymen and professional carpenters went to cut down trees to make long tables and benches, and the rest sent 500 people to build simple wooden sheds along both sides of the rostrum under construction.

The simple wooden shed is of course prepared for those 'celebrities'. It's not that Tang Dao wants to show the difference in rank, but that they come here with gifts anyway, so they think it's worth the money.

Just like future concerts, the front row and the back row are not the same price, are they?

These wooden sheds that can keep out the wind are the VIP rooms that Tang Dao prepared for them. Tang Dao even thoughtfully asked for a charcoal basin to be prepared in each wooden shed. Although the conditions are still simple, you only need to let these 'Celebrities' feel that they are different from ordinary people in the field, so it's fine.

These things may seem difficult, but for the veterans of the Four Elements Regiment who have become more and more accustomed to civil engineering operations, they are all familiar with it.

With the help of more than a thousand veterans, the Rat Mountain, which was full of stones, can be dug into thousands of meters of trenches, not to mention these purely civilian projects. From the plan made on January 1th to the evening of January 29th, a The large-scale 'concert center' that has begun to take shape has been completely completed.

A stage made entirely of loess stands in front of an empty field with an area similar to a football field. There are 25 thatched sheds that can accommodate more than 20 people and three Eight Immortals tables. They are built in an arc along both sides of the open space. It's shameless to bring a large family together. This straw shed that can accommodate at least 600 people watching the show and eating should be enough to accommodate those 'celebrities' who have paid.

On the other side of the empty site, 20 earthen stoves were built on the spot, 20 large iron pots had been placed, and there was a pile of firewood piled up on the side, which was the waste left over from making tables, chairs and benches.

Zhuang Shisanna is definitely a shrewd person, he asked people to chop these waste materials into firewood and keep them for later use.

Yu Province, where the cold winter counts, is really too cold. When the north wind blows, the cold wind only penetrates into the bones. At that time, there will be a military parade, a whole show and a meal. It will not last for several hours. The runny nose is also a natural reaction and cannot be controlled artificially.

But don't be photographed by reporters when a person has a long nose hanging from his lips when the military parade enters the field.

Zhuang Shisan's plan was to light more than two dozen bonfires around the open space before the military parade started, artificially heating up the venue, even if there was more heat, it would be good.

Of course, although this place is not a battlefield, security still needs to be done.

The security of the Four Elements Regiment began five miles away from the town. There were three floors of sentry boxes and mobile sentries. They even built three anti-aircraft machine gun positions 1000 meters to the north of the open space. There are 4 groups in the air defense position, with a full deployment of 24 heavy machine guns, which is to prevent the Japanese plane from attacking.

After all, the news that the Four Elements Group is going to hold a military-civilian party has already spread, and there is a battlefield more than 200 kilometers away. If the Japanese army moved their minds, the Four Elements Group would not be willing to be killed.

In order to prevent this, Gong Shaoxun personally arranged the deployment, and made preparations for the entire regiment's officers and soldiers to evacuate the venue for air defense operations as soon as possible.

However, in order to ensure safety, except for the three infantry platoons drawn from the three infantry battalions who are guarding around the venue, all officers and soldiers entering the venue, only officers above the second lieutenant can be equipped with guns, and the rest are not allowed to wear guns. Just store the guns in a designated area and be guarded by special personnel.

All the preparations are in place, just wait for New Year's Eve, January 1st.

At seven or eight o'clock in the morning, there are already many rickshaws, horse-drawn carriages, cars, and even bicycles crowded on the simple road leading to the town. In order to grab the first prize, celebrities from all walks of life don't even sleep in.

Those who didn't know about the situation thought that these gentry and celebrities were going on a winter outing together!
Ladies and gentlemen are naturally sitting comfortably in carriages, cars or rickshaws. Most of the riders are family servants or bodyguards. Everyone dresses and moves in the same way. They wear top hats, black clothes, bloomers and a pair of cloth shoes, pedaling hard. Followed behind his master's car.

Looking at such a group of convoys slowly approaching from a distance, Tang Dao, who got up early in the morning and waited for these gods of wealth, said that the car is not important, the important thing is to get the ticket money.

Don't underestimate these 'bumps' who are sitting in carriages, they can easily buy a courtyard house in Yanjing City if they just pull out one.

Leaving the future aside, those who pack their horses and rush forward can only stand at the gate of the courtyard and say "Yeah" with their hands and make a card!
