Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 808 New Year's Parade

The shock brought to the people is by no means one time, but a series of events.

Following the thunderous slogans, Li Jiujin led his three battalions across the rostrum one after another!
Qian Dazhu walked across the rostrum with his Second Battalion Company!
Zhao Daqiang led his first battalion across the rostrum!
This order is basically in accordance with the order of the four main infantry companies of the original independent battalion, and it is also the order that Tang Dao thinks is the most reasonable. For the soldiers after the rest of the war, this is more like a commemoration.

It was the whole army of the Four Elements Regiment who said to those comrades-in-arms who died on the battlefield and had to bury their bones in other places without even a tombstone: Brothers, you see, the more battles our brothers fight, the stronger they will be!
Otherwise, when Tang Dao yelled "Long live the Chinese soldiers!" again and again, why did the soldiers who walked and held steel guns and responded loudly "Long live the motherland! Long live the Chinese nation!" Why did tears roll down their faces?
Tears ran across the dark cheeks and dripped on the skirt of the clothes, causing all the soldiers who saw it to twitch their hearts.

Because only they themselves know that the soldiers who walked in front of their chiefs remembered their comrades who had already died in battle!

They have no chance to show their bravery in front of the fathers and villagers in Yu Province, so they can only walk by with their warm smiles and thoughts.

As Tang Tuanzuo once said: the real death is oblivion!As long as you don't forget, he is still there!

As soldiers, they did not forget their comrades-in-arms. As a military parade commentator, Tantai Mingyue would not forget the performance of every officer and soldier who walked past her in the phalanx.

Just like her evaluation of the infantry companies and infantry company commanders, her voice is passionate but extremely pertinent!

"Company Commander Qian Dazhu was an upper class soldier under the 43nd Regiment of the 26th Brigade of the 76th Division of the 152rd Army during the Songjiang Battle. Yes, many of you here may know that the 26th Division of the Sichuan Army fought very well on the Songhu battlefield. In the bloody battle with the Japanese army for seven days and nights without retreating, only 700 people in the whole division were able to walk out of the battlefield.

But what you don’t know is that Company Commander Qian Dazhu’s old officer, Commander Xie Guji, died in this battle. There were only 152 of the 2000 members of the 200nd Regiment, but that’s how Company Commander Qian Dazhu and his Sichuan Army comrades Ladies and gentlemen, with a military order, facing the [-] troops of the Tenth Army of the Japanese invaders pouring in from the sea of ​​Jinshanwei, we will support Songjiang without hesitation!
In the battle of Wai Cangcheng, Songjiang, Company Commander Qian Dazhu’s comrades in the second platoon all died in battle. Facing the frantic attack of Japanese invaders, Company Commander Qian Dazhu held his position for 15 minutes with the strength of one man, making it impossible for nearly a hundred Japanese invaders Inch forward, and finally wait until the reinforcements arrive.

After the war, Company Commander Qian Dazhu was promoted from a first-class soldier to a second lieutenant, and Commander Guo ordered the second platoon to be rebuilt, and was transferred to the Independent Battalion as a whole when the Independent Battalion was established. He and the infantry company behind him are the fighting spirit of the Sichuan Army. Condensed. "

Listening to the introduction of himself and the infantry company he belonged to from the loudspeaker, Qian Dazhu, who had already walked past the rostrum, looked firm and stern, like a stone, but his eyes were already full of crystal.

That was undoubtedly the most moving scene in the field at the moment.

I don't know how many ladies who originally had dreams described in the storybook of "Beauty Loves Heroes" gently covered their mouths at that moment.

It turns out that the heroes in the storybook are not tough guys of steel, they will cry, especially when they think of their comrades in arms.

And they died fighting for this country.

The dreams of the "heroes" depicted in the stories are shattered, but for these young girls, a tearful hero can touch their hearts even more.

They looked at the young lieutenant, and their hearts ached involuntarily.

"Long live the Chinese nation!"

The old man who was wearing a brocade robe and asking the lieutenant officer a question suddenly raised his arm and shouted the very experienced slogan that he thought was slightly inappropriate.

Originally, the old fox who was deeply entangled with the upper class instinctively wanted to keep silent, but his rich experience told him honestly that the Four Elements Group who shouted this slogan was dividing lines with those forces loyal to certain groups.

But at this moment, seeing these heroic young men with tears streaming down their cheeks, the emotion that had been surging in my heart for a long time suddenly erupted.

Who doesn't have a son?

His son, who is over fifty, is also in his twenties, because his family background is good, his son doesn't do anything, but hangs around restaurants and theaters all day long, which is not good but not bad either. It is an outsider who calls himself a dog, and that is a humble word.

Unexpectedly, after seeing this group of young people, the old man had a feeling. It turned out that it was not modesty, but the literal meaning.

But the parents of the young people he never saw again, never saw their sons again!
They are all parents. Thinking of this, I can't help but feel cramps in my heart, and the previous scruples are instantly dispelled.

Whoever I love, anyway, I want to accompany these boys to shout slogans, otherwise, I'm sorry for them.

Hearing the sudden voice that sounded beside him, the face of the serious lieutenant beside him suddenly softened a lot.

Many gentry and celebrities who were moved by this scene also raised their arms and shouted the slogan "Long live the motherland, long live the Chinese nation!"

But there were also quite a few who cast sidelong glances at their agitated companions and continued to remain silent.

It is true that they came to see the head of the hero group, but that does not mean that they are willing to have a deep bond with the four-element group, especially when the four-element group shouts this kind of slogan that is only loyal to the country and the nation. how to think?Those senior officials are either faction bosses or the principal's confidantes.

The Four Elements Group dared to risk the dissatisfaction of the world, but it doesn't mean they can!

It can be said that in the past few minutes, the people in the field have all kinds of thoughts, some are moved by it, some are wise to protect themselves, and some even think about whether to stick to the whole military parade and leave quickly, so as not to be stared at by others. superior.

Those who can enter the arena are all people of certain social status, and they also know that there are hundreds of people in the arena, and there may be many high-level spies hiding.

But the military parade of the Four Elements Regiment will not stop just because everyone has different thoughts.

The four major infantry companies walked through the phalanx, followed by the artillery company.

This is the combined phalanx of the 1st and 2nd Pao companies, and it is also the largest phalanx so far, with more than 150 people. Pang Dahai and Cheng Tieshou walked at the forefront of the phalanx with their heads held high.

Behind them are the 92 infantry artillery, the 37-type mountain artillery, the [-]mm anti-aircraft artillery, and two machine guns dragged by pack horses.

Several styles of artillery also attracted the attention of all the people.

After all, people who have no experience know that cannons are more powerful than guns.Rifles and machine guns kill people on an individual basis, but guns are on the group.

Unexpectedly, the Four Elements Regiment would have so many artillery pieces, no wonder they are so powerful.

"What is coming to us now is the newly established artillery company of the Four Elements Regiment. They originally belonged to the officers and soldiers of the artillery companies of the infantry companies. Most of their personnel have participated in all the battles of the independent battalion of the 43rd Army, the predecessor of the Four Elements Regiment. , Company Commander Pang Panghai and Company Commander Cheng Tieshou are from the 67th Army and the 88th Division respectively. It is precisely because of these artillery brothers who have given the strongest support to the frontline infantry that our Four Elements Regiment will be on the front line again and again victory!

Of course, you may be wondering what kind of artillery these are. I can tell you that there are not only the 37mm anti-aircraft guns originally equipped by our army, but also the Type 92 70mm infantry guns and the Type 75 25mm mountain guns equipped by the Japanese army. There is also the double-mounted [-]mm machine gun, which was captured by my four-row regiment after previous battles. "

Following Tantai Mingyue's introduction, the phalanx of the artillery company had already walked up to the rostrum, but they did not salute Tang Dao and leave shouting slogans like the infantry phalanx. Instead, the entire phalanx stopped in front of the rostrum. Next, the two leading army captains trotted all the way to the rostrum and saluted Tang Dao: "Report to the regiment, the artillery company is all ready!"

"Okay! Send me the military order, you can fire!" Tang Dao raised his hand to return the salute.

Erya, who was standing on the side of the rostrum, heard Tang Dao say this, pulled out the flare gun from her waist, and fired a green flare into the sky.

In less than five seconds, a green signal flare rose several kilometers to the southwest.

What are you doing?Isn't it a military parade?Why did you still engage in live ammunition?

Not to mention the stunned look of the colonel's staff standing beside Tang Dao, even the 'celebrities' in the venue that suddenly became quiet felt that the atmosphere was different.

Because, they saw that four 75mm mountain cannons dragged by pack horses were untied, and then pushed to the center of the empty field by four artillery squads. Looking at the front and reporting the data loudly, the artilleryman who mounted the cannon quickly adjusted the cannon according to the data reported by his comrades, while other soldiers unloaded four shell boxes from a carriage and put them behind their respective guns. And hold out a yellow-orange-orange cannonball from each of them.
That's live ammo!

My boy!It was really live ammunition. When all the people in Yu Province turned their eyes around the yellow and orange shells that were about to be stuffed into the barrel and finally confirmed it, they could only express their emotions at this time with dumbfounded.

Unexpectedly, attending a New Year's party, they can still see live ammunition shelling, which may be something they never dreamed of.

There are many people who are surprised, but most of them are still standing still and waiting to see the scene that they may never see in their lifetime, which is the most instinctive curiosity of human beings.

But there are also those who are afraid, watching the four mountain cannons being erected in an orderly manner, some people cover their ears and run further away, while a few people turn their heads and leave, and are lost in the crowd outside the field.

But it doesn't matter, Deputy Gong Shaoxun, who is in charge of ensuring the safety of the venue, has ordered that if you want to come in, you must go through strict inspections, and if you want to leave, you can feel free!
"Commander Tang, are you trying to mess with Moss?" Taking advantage of the artillery's still adjusting the muzzle position, the colonel and staff officer from Jiangxia uttered his native dialect with a painful expression on his face!

Live ammunition, of course, is nothing to this guy, but now it's wartime, and your cannons are firing directly outside Zhengzhou City, so it's worth it?
What's more, the cost of one shell is at least 20 oceans, and four shells are just blasted out for nothing, so don't waste too much.He was in the theater staff headquarters, and received the most requests from the frontline generals, wasn't it just a request to replenish shells in the theater!

Seeing the yellow-orange shells, the colonel's first thought was, stay here and don't give them to me!
"Brother Fan, on this new year's day, according to my Chinese tradition, how can there be no fireworks? Watch my regiment order a few large fireworks for everyone! I have already reported this to Commander Cheng for approval, City Defense Command They also know about it, and they helped to choose this shelling point, there is no farmland there, it is a hill!" Tang Dao said with a light smile.

"Commander Tang, on this day of celebration, other expenses are just fine, but it's better to save as much as possible on this ordnance and ammunition." The colonel's staff persuaded with great heartache.

This is the tragedy of a country with a poor industrial base. Commanders who have been on the battlefield may not care much about money, but they have always treasured ordnance and ammunition that they cannot manufacture.

"Brother Fan, don't feel bad. These artillery shells were also seized by our regiment from the Japanese army. They should be regarded as a test for the brothers in the artillery company of our regiment. The more nervous you are, the more accurate the artillery shells must be! Otherwise, How to kill the enemy on a battlefield that is even more tense than this? As our regiment's fire support force, they must have such a psychological quality. The lives of the infantry brothers of my four-element regiment are much more important than these few shells , isn’t it?” Tang Dao replied.

All right!There was nothing wrong with saying this, and the colonel's staff could no longer stop him.I admire Tang Dao's way of governing the army even more. He can test the psychological quality of the artillerymen without wasting such an important celebration. Except for this, I am afraid that it is difficult for anyone else to do this.

This must have enough confidence and courage!
If he didn't get it right, not to mention his artillery company would become a laughing stock, even the entire Four Elements Regiment would be humiliated in front of the invited people, which would completely wipe out the huge impact caused by the infantry in front. Offset all.

Of course, if you just randomly fire a few cannons at the open space in the distance, let the big guys see the power of the cannons and listen to it, and it's not unreasonable to regard it as a salute.

However, following Tantai Mingyue's loud introduction on the rostrum, it was obvious that the Four Elements Group really had no intention of just firing salutes.

"During the Guangde defensive battle, the brothers of the artillery company made great contributions to the reason why my four-element regiment was able to wipe out more than 2500 Japanese soldiers. They used all kinds of artillery that you see before you. Next, during an afternoon of fighting, more than 1200 shells of various types were fired, destroying dozens of light and heavy firepower points of the Japanese invaders surrounded by our regiment, killing and injuring countless Japanese invaders.

Now, it's up to them to use their most trusted cannons to ignite the fireworks of my four-element group's New Year's Day celebration.Just in front of the small hill in Jiulidi, there are two beacon towers, which symbolize the second year of the establishment of our four-element regiment. The fireworks lit up symbolize that our four-element regiment will continue to fight against the Japanese invaders. Forge ahead and never retreat.

However, there is only one chance for each gun, there is no trial firing, no supplementary firing, and one shell is prepared for each of them. "Tantai Mingyue's voice resounded loudly on the training ground that had become somewhat quiet.

"See, Brother Fan, I, Tang Dao, am not the prodigal son you imagined. I don't have so many shells for my brothers to play with." Tang Dao chuckled.

The colonel's staff officer didn't smile, but his face was solemn.

Hidden in Tang Dao's smile is almost conceited self-confidence. He thinks that his artillery can hit a target 4500 meters away with two shots.

A person with this kind of self-confidence, either has extremely strong strength, or is a god.
through!
It's just that Tang Dao, who survived consecutive battles and became the head of the regiment, even thought about it with his ass, and knew that he would never be the latter.

"Fire!" Pang Dahai's fat face trembled, and after the four squad leaders holding red flags raised their red flags one after another, the roar shocked the audience.

Following this order, the artillery squad leader holding a small red flag waved the red flag violently.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!" The four cannons roared loudly for the first time, and the people who were more than [-] meters away from the shock covered their ears one after another.

Just firing a cannon is so powerful, how earth-shattering it will be when the shell hits the ground!

If Fat Dahai told them that these mountain cannons are just the medium-sized artillery currently equipped by the Four Elements Regiment, if they were replaced with those 150 caliber heavy mortars and fired shells from 6 miles away, at most 50 shells would be enough to cover the entire area. The training field with a radius of nearly 30.00 square meters was blown into a piece of scorched earth. Of the more than [-] people standing on and off the field, no more than [-]% will survive. These ladies will no longer imagine the power of the shell explosion in their minds.

Artillery, in this era, is the well-deserved god of war.

As the four cannons were all fired in less than ten seconds!

Because this place is basically a plain, you can see far away, and the small hills several kilometers away are very vague, but the flames that exploded next time are very obvious, and four consecutive fires light up on the blurred shadows of the hills.

"Boom! Boom!" Until then, the sound of rumbling cannons came one by one from afar.

Judging from the approximate positions, the four cannons were fairly accurate, at least they all hit the hill.However, the imaginary fireworks did not ignite.

Come to think of it, it was still a little bit worse.However, this is already very remarkable.

Anyone who has served in the army knows that it is already a very good achievement to be able to hit a target within [-] meters without a test shot.

"Crack! Crack! Crack!" After a short shock, the colonel's staff clapped vigorously, and the 'celebrities' and the public clapped their hands desperately after they realized it.

For a time, the audience applauded like thunder.

It's not as amazing as I expected, but it's really, really good.

Of course, it also meant to save face for Sixingtuan.

The bridal sedan chair needs someone to carry it!Looking around the world, Chinese people are the best at this.

But Tang Dao didn't look depressed at all, he laughed, "Brother Fan, it's not the right time to applaud! Look, the fireworks are coming. Here, there should be applause."

Then, in everyone's field of vision, in the light of the flames that had just exploded, one after another skyrocketing fireworks exploded, followed by the next one.Then, two huge columns of smoke soared upwards.

It took about [-] seconds from the explosion of the shell to the explosion of the fireworks.

"Hehe, Brother Fan didn't think that I would be stupid enough to put a fire pile filled with diesel and fireworks on the explosion point! The shells only hit the fire starter, and it was 40 meters away from the fire pile! Otherwise, no It was blown up!" Tang Dao said with a light smile.

In front of the sky filled with fireworks and soaring fireworks, the tide of applause fell silent.Didn't go through test firing, and only two shots hit the target?

"Boom!", the thunderous applause exploded again after a few seconds of silence, at least twice as loud as the applause just now.

The artillery company of the Four Elements Regiment is really awesome!
If we talk about the soul of a strong army displayed by the previous four infantry companies, then what the artillery company is showing to everyone at this moment is their tyrannical technical and tactical level.

"Company Commander Jiujin, the soldiers under Commander Pang are getting more and more powerful! They really mean to fight wherever they go. In the future, it seems that we need to invite Commander Pang to drink a few more drinks, and the 150 heavy mortars can be so accurate. Let's Can the infantry company still be afraid of little devils charging?" Qian Dazhu, who was already resting in a corner of the empty field, also whispered to Li Jiujin in an exclamation tone.

"Hey, Dazhu! You're still too young! As far as I know, the group seat arranged for Lao Pang's men to dig a few individual artillery holes on the hill as early as last night. What, I said it was to prevent someone from entering the shelling area, believe it or not?" Li Jiujin smiled with big yellow teeth, not to mention how obvious it was. "However, Lao Pang's soldiers are really good, so there should be no use for the preparation plan!"

"This..." Qian Dazhu grinned, admitting the fact that he was still young.

Tang Tuanzuo's ability to fool people, but he has always wanted to learn!That is, why does it feel like the gap is getting bigger and bigger!
