Rise from eight hundred.

On the morning of March 3, the two infantry battalions and the artillery battalion of the Four Elements Regiment, which had been repaired overnight at the 18 Brigade's garrison, followed Gong Shaoxun back to the "Dakouzidong" garrison that had begun to take shape.

Tang Dao, on the other hand, stayed at the 683 brigade station with a guard company and a special squadron.

Not only because the upright Brigadier Cheng needed Tang Dao to personally sign to receive the spoils that belonged to the Four Elements Regiment in the battle between Beiganling and Lucheng, but also because the 921 division headquarters sent a telegram, and the two division headquarters The chief officer, the division guard battalion, and the division supply battalion have already embarked on their way to the 683rd brigade.

Moreover, the two chief officials asked to see Tang Dao by name, and they also said that they would invite Tang Dao to drink celebration wine.

In Tang Dao's heart, these two are not just superior officers, they are outstanding figures who have written a lot of ink and colors in the history of China. They have spoken in person, and Tang Dao will naturally not leave.

That is, Tang Dao couldn't help being impatient after all. He didn't want to miss the celebration banquet of the 683 brigade, but he didn't want to miss the one belonging to his four-element group even more.

But not a celebration banquet!

However, the annihilation of thousands of Japanese invaders was very exciting for the Four Elements Group, but it was not enough to be ecstatic.

What Tang Dao didn't want to miss was the burial ceremony of the sacrificed officers and soldiers of the Four Elements Regiment!

Knowing that the war was extremely long, Tang Dao, who arrived at the 'Dakouzidong' station, first decided on the address of the arsenal, and the second was to ride a horse and lead several chief officers of the regiment to find another suitable location.

The requirements for the location are quite strict. The mountain on the back must be large and lush, and it must face south. It is best to have two mountains on the left and right, and it should not be too far from important positions such as the regiment headquarters.

If Tang Tuanzuo hadn't said the purpose later, several chief officials thought that Tang Tuanzuo would build a holiday villa like some senior officials they had met.

What Tang Dao was looking for was the Martyrs Cemetery!
In the future, all the four-element regiments, and even the rest of the Chinese army, no matter what faction they belong to, as long as they died for the national war, they are eligible to be buried in this martyrs cemetery!

This is not just for Tang Dao to inspire the morale of the Four Elements Regiment. Even if you sacrificed, you will leave a place in the beautiful mountains of China for future generations to pay tribute to.Rather, the little butterfly from the future has seen too many stories of 'sending veterans home' in the future world.

A solitary tomb is guarded by local villagers. No one knows the name of the person in the tomb. They only know that because of the fierce battle with the Japanese army, several officers and soldiers died here. Because of the fierce fighting, they had to be buried here. Thanks to the grace of the country, for decades, we have taken the initiative to repair the tombs, burn paper and burn incense to pay homage.

It is not known whether the person in the tomb is resting or not, but what about his relatives?It is one of the Chinese people's obsession with life and death since ancient times to see people in life and corpses in death.

Death is not terrible, what is terrible is not knowing where it is!
In the past, the transportation was inconvenient and the information was not developed. Even if the loved ones in the family were concerned, the news that the parents died without a child was a long-lasting disaster for every family. Every time I think about it, my heart feels like a needle prick. pain.

After entering the information society, many people began to post for help. Some wanted to find their relatives, and some wanted to help the deceased soldiers in the solitary grave to find their relatives. The stories that were reported by TV and newspapers had happy endings and were very touching. But Tang Dao, who is a soldier, knows that there are actually more scars that have not been healed behind this kind of consummation and touching.

Of course, Tang Dao would not blame anyone. He knew that it was because of the limitations of that era and the harsh conditions at that time. There may be files of officers and soldiers, but there are not many.

Moreover, one failure after another made the major commanders focus on 'Can we survive tomorrow? ', "Can we really win this defense battle?", "What will my soldiers eat tomorrow?" On such life-and-death issues, who would have the energy to heal the inner wounds of the living?
Therefore, Tang Dao must avoid this mistake, at least the relatives of the officers and soldiers under his command should not have this regret.

Tang Dao used his best efforts to improve the files of all officers and soldiers, including the young and strong temporarily recruited, and keep a backup. According to his information, his home address can be found, and when the battlefield situation tends to be stable, the news of his sacrifice, merit medals, pensions, etc. will be mailed back to his hometown!

In addition, it is this mountainous martyrs cemetery covering tens of acres of land.

All the officers and soldiers of the Four Elements Regiment who died in the battle, no matter where the battle was, must bring back their remains and bury them here if permitted.
Tang Dao even thought that one day he could go to Songhu, Songjiang, Guangde, and Zhengzhou, and move the remains of the soldiers who died in those battlefields in the Sixing regiment to this place.

Not just to commemorate them, to let them rest in peace, but to let their relatives and family members have an exact place where they can hold them in their arms, instead of suffering for decades in hesitation and desperate waiting!

Tang Dao will never forget a real video he saw when he first entered the frontier barracks: an old mother in her seventies found the tombstone of her young son who died in the cemetery of martyrs, and first slapped the tombstone hard He scolded him for being unfilial, but in the end he gently hugged that cold stone until the sun set!

Several accompanying school officials around stood upright, but burst into tears!
"His mother saved 15 years of travel expenses to come to the frontier! But she is more than 70 now, and this may be the last time." In front of Tang Dao, who has just joined the recruit company, is the political commissar of the recruit regiment sitting upright. Although his voice was very soft, Tang Dao could hear it.

"Chief, how do you know." Someone finally couldn't hold back and asked softly.

"Because he and I are recruits of the same period. 26 years ago, he and I sat cross-legged side by side on this land just like you." The army colonel without an arm turned his head and glanced at the recruits behind him, grinning. grinned.

Tang Dao could see the tears glistening in the eyes of this middle-aged soldier who was already a senior official.

"For the sake of the motherland, we are not stingy with our lives; for the mother, we must live!" This is the first lesson that Tang Dao was deeply touched after entering the recruit company.

Whether it is for the motherland or mother, whether to sacrifice or live, hard training is the only choice for soldiers.

But as a soldier, Tang Dao knew better that on the battlefield, life and death are no longer within his control!As a soldier, he cannot decide whether he will live or die, and he cannot decide not to let his mother shed tears, but as a commander, Tang Dao can at least let his mother hug her son, even if it is a cold tombstone!
Tang Dao had already agreed with Gong Shaoxun and the two infantry battalion commanders last night that he would rush back to the station in three days at the latest to preside over the burial of the martyrs himself.

If Tang Dao's memory is correct, because the Japanese army was attacking strongly at this time, the 921 Division had not yet established a large coherent base area, and the division headquarters of the 921 Division had not yet moved to the very famous Jiangjunling and Chishui villages in the future.

If they were hundreds of miles apart, the two chief officers would lead the guard battalion and the supply battalion with thousands of troops, among them they would have to pass through the Japanese-occupied area and trek through mountains and rivers, but I don't know how many days and nights it would take.

Tang Dao received a lot of courtesy, and his residence was arranged next to the small courtyard where Brigadier Cheng lived. The gable wall of the Taihang Mountain Village is very short, no more than 1.5 meters. With Tang Dao's 1.8 meters, as soon as he walked to the courtyard, You can meet Brigadier Cheng who has been busy with military affairs over there.

The air in the early morning is very fresh, and the days without war are very leisurely. Tang Dao, who has eaten two white flour steamed buns and drank a bowl of porridge, is a little melancholy with a cigarette in his mouth. After the staff officer who came to report explained the matter, Brigadier Cheng looked up at Tang Dao who was standing in the courtyard and looking towards the distant mountains. With a smile on his face, he walked over holding a few pieces of paper.

"What's the matter, my old Cheng didn't treat you well! To make you feel so sad, little brother Tang? Come, give me one of the Japanese cigarettes you seized!" Brigadier Cheng didn't come around from the courtyard gate, Just leaning against the low gable.

Before the two of you, you, Brigade Commander Cheng, and Commander Tang, shouted, after the battle of Beiganling and Lucheng, and hundreds of thousands of catties of flour, rice, and corn were brought back to the station, Comrade Wang Xiaoqiang would always call Brother Tang whenever they met. Forget it, Brigadier Cheng stopped calling him an official official position, and directly called him a little brother, which is two points more affectionate than an old brother.

Obviously, having a high emotional intelligence is one thing, but the food that can fill the belly of [-] big men is the most important thing.

Yes, the actual strength of the 921 Division has already exceeded [-]. This is also the specific data that Tang Dao only knew last night.

Tang Dao could only be dumbfounded at the time.

If his memory is not wrong, when the 921st Division crossed the Yellow River eastward in September last year, it only brought three main regiments, division headquarters and other auxiliary troops, leaving one main regiment and brigade headquarters of the 9 Brigade to garrison north of the Yellow River. The division rushed to the northern battlefield with about 583 soldiers.

How long has it passed, and it has doubled in size and turned around? This propaganda and mobilization ability is really unmatched!

This is also because in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, everyone's eyes were focused on such large-scale battlefields as the Songhu Battle, Xuzhou Battle, and even the Jiangxia Battle, where there were often 100,000 people. The high-level officials of the [-]th Army are also accustomed to keeping a low profile, and of course they will not take the initiative to tell the outside world how many troops they have. Tang Dao is not particularly clear about this little-known history.

In fact, in the past six months alone, the entire division of the 921st Division has managed 2.5 troops, and the troops directly under the division headquarters alone have as many as 2400 people. into the column.

If Xia Xiong Yuan refuses to admit his weakness and gathers all his forces to fight against the 683 brigade, then the 921 division, which is forced to use all its strength, may really give them a big surprise.

But at that time, I am afraid that it will not be a meeting of the North China Front Army Command to study how to deal with Xiong Yuan, the Japanese lieutenant general who is destined to be blamed, but a meeting to study how to increase troops to suppress this sudden and confidant trouble.

2.5 people, almost the strength of an infantry army, plus another infantry division with similar combat power, the [-]th Army is fully capable of fighting with a fully organized Japanese army division. This is definitely the commander of the Japanese North China Front Army Ministry can not tolerate.

Of course, it seemed that Brigadier Cheng had leaked this information to Tang Dao unintentionally, but Tang Dao knew that this was actually just an olive branch offered by Brigadier Cheng, or even a higher-level instruction.

Tang Dao naturally accepted it readily, and at the same time told Brigadier Cheng that he would go to big cities to purchase precision machine tools and raw materials, and vigorously develop the arsenal.

This is no longer called reciprocation, but a clear response to that side. I am not only a local tyrant, but also a local tyrant who is particularly interested in you. Come and hook me up!I'm an easy hook.

If it were someone else, Tang Dao would be so 'anxious' that he might be slapped to death by the mature Eighty Army.

But Tang Dao told everyone with his unbeatable record that Lao Tzu's ideal is to chop off the devil's head. A few thousand is too little, and tens of thousands will not be disliked. He is a real Chinese iron-blooded soldier.

Besides, Tang Dao is from Sichuan, and he was also from the Sichuan Army, so he has little to do with that person, and this identity is very important.

Don't think that the [-]th Army and the various units of the Sichuan Army will fight to the death during the Great Transfer. The guiding ideology of the various units of the Sichuan Army is very clear. As long as they don't come to occupy my territory, it's fine.

This is also the sadness of the headmaster. Since he ascended to the high position, he has never really unified all the forces. If the warlords of the provinces are united with him, what can't be done internally?
Therefore, the final historical process shows that he is just a passer-by in history, and lofty ideals finally defeated corruption and darkness.

But in any case, when Tang Dao knew the strength of the 921 Division, he realized why even those two rushed over with the division's supply battalion in a hurry.In this kind of war, military strength is very important, but it is really not an easy task to feed these more than 20,000 big men.

I am afraid that most of the title of "Tang Xiaodi" came from this.

I hope those two don't call themselves that. Unlike Brigadier Cheng, who has a personality that is closer to his personality and is obviously more suitable to be friends, those two are elders, and Tang Dao, who knows the future well, would not dare to act like that.

"Hey! People who are used to fighting suddenly feel a little uncomfortable when they are idle!" Tang Dao smiled wryly, took out a cigarette, and handed it to this man.

Although he is impatient, he also knows that there is no high-speed rail machine in this mountain, so he can walk around casually for several days, and the two chief officers of the 921 Division are the backbone of the elite of [-] to [-]. The intelligence comes first, the areas involved along the way are heavily guarded, and the itinerary is even slower, taking several days to complete.

Let Tang Dao take the initiative to ask each other, wouldn't that be a reminder!If nothing happens, Tang Dao can't bear the responsibility if something goes wrong.

"Okay, you kid, don't give me too much trouble, who said that during the war, you have to fight every day, don't you just want to know when the two chiefs will arrive! Play melancholy, don't you just wait for me to take the initiative to give you Tell me!" Brigadier Cheng lit a cigarette with the match that Tang Dao was actively rubbing, exhaled a puff of green smoke, and glanced at Tang Dao with a half-smile.

"Hey! Brother, you know me well. I am the leader of the regiment after all! There are a lot of affairs in the regiment!" Tang Dao was not embarrassed, and said with a light smile.

Anyway, his melancholy eyes were indeed acting, and the only audience was this old man who got up early in the morning and was busy.

"Come on, brother Tang, don't worry. The two chiefs are not as ignorant as you imagined. Knowing that you are busy with the affairs of the Four Elements Regiment, you are still staying with my minister. When it was passed to the 22nd Army, I thought it was I have detained it for you!" Brigadier Cheng gave Tang Dao a reassurance with a smile.

"The division headquarters is only 70 miles away from here. The 108th Division was defeated this time. All the outside troops retreated to occupy the county town. There will be no Japanese troops in the mountainous areas in a short time. I sent an infantry battalion to meet them last night. The two heads of state had already set off at five o'clock in the morning, and at the slowest time, they would arrive at sunset.

Tomorrow at the latest, you can return to your Four Elements Regiment's residence. "

"That's a good thing!" Tang Dao smiled and slapped hard.

"You boy, why don't you look down on me like this?" Brigadier Cheng deliberately darkened his face, and Yang Yang held the densely packed paper in his hand. "You are not afraid that I will play tricks here and give you some trouble. I know that you have moved more than [-] people from Licheng, and you have thousands of mouths. It is not easy to feed!"

"Hey, man, if you don't care about being an older brother and do the first grade of junior high school, then don't blame me for being the fifteenth grader. Because the population is too high to feed, the prices of the guns and ammunition produced by my four-element regiment's arsenal may rise sharply." !” Tang Dao laughed.

"I almost forgot about this! Sure enough, profiteers can't be offended!" Brigadier Cheng is such a shrewd person, facing Tang Dao's blatant threats, he could only admit his cowardice with a wry smile, and passed the paper in his hand across the gable wall. Give Tang Dao.

"These are all kinds of trophies that have already been counted. Take a look and tell your regiment's supply company to come over in the afternoon, and we will join our department's celebration banquet in the evening!"

"Then this meal can't be counted in the distribution of spoils! Let's talk about it first." Tang Dao grinned happily.

"You kid, no wonder you can make those big shots look at you differently." Brigadier Cheng, who was a little stunned by Tang Dao's joke, shook his head with a smile.

At this time, Tang Dao seemed to be a little contradictory. He cared about eating a meal for the 683 brigade under his command, but he seemed less interested in the obviously large number of loot statistics in his hand than Brigadier Cheng imagined.

But this kind of contradiction of grasping the small and magnifying, let Tang Dao exude a strong personality charm, and it is a very comfortable thing to be with him whether he is a comrade-in-arms or a friend.
