Rise from eight hundred.

Although the entire convoy and horse team wind up to 1500 meters in the mountains!
But the marching speed is basically guaranteed.

The main thing is that you don't have to worry too much about security issues.

This mountain area is under the control of the 683rd Brigade and the Four Elements Regiment. The Japanese army has just recovered from the sap, and they have not yet sent troops to the completely empty Licheng City. There is no need to think about it during the march. The problem of arranging soldiers to guard.

And those thieves who are dormant in the mountains because of their livelihood, seeing such a huge convoy and hundreds of heavily armed troops even dragging a few artillery pieces, let alone want to get a share of the pie, just pass under their noses, They were all trembling with fear.

Considering the speed of the march, the supply chain was not fully loaded. A cart carried about 700 jin of supplies, and the pack horse carried 100 jin of grain. When encountering an uphill section, soldiers helped push it.

Even so, the mountain road with a total length of 50 miles took a total of more than 6 hours.

It was already 5:50 pm when Tang Dao led his troops to arrive five miles away from the Dakouzidong regiment headquarters.

Today's weather is good. During the day, the blue sky is blue and the clouds are light and the wind is light. In the evening, the sunset glow is like fire, and the whole mountain seems to be covered with a thin red gauze.

Tang Dao was in a good mood, but not because of the weather.

But since entering the Dakouzidong area, the rest of the road has been peaceful except that the soldiers at the checkpoints placed on the bright side went out of the fortifications to salute the large troops transporting luggage after inspection.

But as long as you take a telescope carefully, you will still find some clues hidden in the calm, some in the bushes, some in the pile of rubble, shining with a little metallic luster.

That's the muzzle!

On the 15-mile mountain road from the mountain pass to the regiment headquarters, there are at least 10 secret sentries, which Tang Dao asked to deploy before leaving, and now they have basically been implemented.

The secret sentries were very observant of military regulations, and they didn't show up to salute just because he appeared as the regiment commander. At most, they didn't lower their guns to the road to show their respect for the officer and his comrades.

This made Tang Dao very satisfied. Although it was another big victory, the officers and soldiers of the Four Elements Regiment were not proud, and everything was still prepared according to wartime.

The news of Tang Dao's departure had already been reported to the regiment headquarters through the radio station. After entering the Dakouzidong area, a checkpoint had lit up fireworks to report the return of the regiment to the rear.

The current Four Elements Regiment is not so extravagant that it can also equip the checkpoints with field radios or telephones. The original beacon communication is also fast in sending messages in the mountains.

At any time on the peak above each checkpoint, there will be three piles of wet wood poured with some oil, and the rumbling smoke column rising more than 15 meters high can be seen [-] miles away in good weather.

When an enemy invades, usually three piles are burned together, which is the highest alert, one pile is lit to indicate the return of one's own troops, and the second pile is a friendly army's visit.

Therefore, when Tang Dao led the group to come, Lei Xiong, Gong Shaoxun, Zhuang Shisan and others in the regiment headquarters had already greeted him several miles away.

Not only them, as long as the troops of the Four Elements Regiment did not have security missions, they were all alarmed by the sound of the urgently assembled trumpets and lined up to meet them.

Of course, these soldiers greeted not only their top officers, but also their brothers who had returned from the last batch of victories, as well as the rich supplies they had seized. …

All of these deserve the highest courtesy from these soldiers to welcome them back.

His gaze flicked across the familiar faces of Lei Xiong, Tantai Yunshu, Teacher Xiao He and others, Tang Dao showed a smiling face and strode over.

"Salute!" Lei Xiong mustered all his strength and roared.

All the members of the Four Elements Regiment present, including the sentinels on duty up and down the mountain, all raised their right arms and gave a standard military salute to Tang Dao.

"Brothers have worked hard!" Tang Dao stood still, earnestly returned the military salute, and said to everyone in front of him.

"We don't work hard, the chief has worked hard, and the brothers have worked hard." Lei Xiong and the soldiers shouted in unison without letting go of their hands in the military salute.

"Repay the salute!" Peng Chong, the commander of the guard company in the rear, shouted back.

"Shua!" The convoy soldiers who belonged to the guard company and were nearly a thousand meters away from the rear of the car all returned the salute.

In this bright red sunset, more than 2000 officers and soldiers from the same infantry regiment exchanged military salutes and looked at each other in silence.

Then, bright smiles floated on their faces.

Because, at this point, the Four Elements Regiment's battle has come to a successful conclusion.

The grain bags piled high on the convoy lined up like a long snake, the faces of the soldiers who have been washed away by the gunpowder smoke, and the smiling faces that gradually began to bloom like flowers are the best interpretations of this battle!

"Tonight, our group will also hold a celebration banquet!" Tang Dao turned his eyes around and announced loudly. "Now, go and help me carry supplies!"

"Long live the group!"

"Long live the officer!"

The soldiers lowered their arms and cheered loudly.

Based on their understanding of their group seat, they knew that the celebration banquet would never be as simple as drinking and eating meat, so they had to announce the distribution of rewards.

But this time in the Battle of Jindong, the capture was very rich. I don't know how much Tang Tuanzuo can reward everyone.

While sweating profusely to help the baggage company unload, the soldiers were thinking about it in their hearts, and some who couldn't hide their things couldn't help discussing it.

This is the same feeling that farmers have when they have a good year and look at the golden rice fields and think about how much grain they can harvest this year!

However, before the regiment headquarters officially issued a notice, it was unknown.

The officers and soldiers were very happy, and they were very energetic in carrying grain bags.

The handsome old Tantai's handsome face can't help but burst into laughter at the moment, looking at his unscathed daughter who came back from the battlefield, his heart is completely in his stomach.

But some people are not very happy.

"Tang Dao, do you or the chief of staff have the final say in your four-element group?" Teacher Xiao He gave Tang Datuan a blow in such a happy atmosphere.

"Mr. He, could it be that Chief of Staff Zhuang didn't bring back your machine tools?" Tang Dao was slightly taken aback, and looked at Zhuang Shisan.

Based on what he knew about Zhuang Shisan, this army lieutenant colonel from the security regiment was the one he knew the most.

As we all know, there are a total of two women in the Four Elements Group that cannot be messed with.

One is Tantai Mingyue, it has nothing to do with whether she is Tang Tuanzuo's fiancée or not, she is Tantai Mingyue who is a reporter first and foremost, a pen in her hand can give you praise to the sky or step on the mud for you, what's more terrible It's still the captain of the medical team. Once injured, his life will be in his hands. Who dares to mess with it? …

The other, of course, is Mr. Xiao He, the chief designer of the four-element regiment's arsenal in the future. It's one thing for Tang Tuanzuo to treat him with courtesy. Will the big guys use the three-edged bayonet and the one designed by Tang Tuanzuo in the future? All pistols depend on this one.

The muzzle velocity of the warhead is 440 meters per second, and the effective range exceeds 100 meters. The data written on the design drawings of the future pistol using 7.62mm bullets can make these officers salivate.

They are all veterans, how can they not know the excellence of a pistol with an effective range of 100 meters?

For comparison, the standard pistol equipped by the Japanese army is also the most equipped southern fourteen-type pistol currently used by the Four Elements Regiment. The initial velocity of the warhead is 317 meters per second, and the effective range is only 50 meters, which is simply crushing.

Don't underestimate the pistol. This lightest weapon cannot influence the victory on the battlefield, but it is the last defense of the officers. The effective range of up to 100 meters can completely allow them to compete with infantry. The terrible initial velocity of the warhead will bring greater As long as one shot is hit, the opponent will lose the ability to resist.

From the second lieutenant to the lieutenant colonel, everyone is looking forward to the research and development team headed by Mr. Xiao He to quickly produce this gun. This time, so many machine tools were seized in Lucheng, which gave everyone hope.

Even if Zhuang Shisan is one of the top figures in the Four Elements Group, he won't easily offend this one, right?

"Ask him yourself!" Teacher Xiao He was angry.

"Tuan Zuo, it's like this," Zhuang Shisan explained with a wry smile on his face.

It turned out that this time the Four Elements Group not only had more than 20 catties of grain transported back, but also more than 683 catties of grain from Licheng, and more than 500,000 catties of grain from the 250 Brigade. Counting corn, soybeans and other concentrated feeds to be fed to war horses and pack horses, it would be nearly [-] catties for human consumption alone, or nearly [-] tons in the future.

Such a large granary is hard to find in this mountainous area. If it is not well protected in the wild and eaten by voles, it will make people feel distressed to death.

As a result, Chief of Staff Zhuang Da set his sights on the big cave that Tang Dao had reserved for the core area of ​​the arsenal.

The inside of the big cave is 25 meters high, 18 meters wide, and 80 meters deep. In this area, not to mention 600,000 jins of grain, it can be accommodated even if it is several times more.And what's rare is that this cave is not a karst cave. On a mountain wall, it is warm in winter and cool in summer and dry, so it is the best choice for a granary.

Therefore, the chief of staff of Zhuang Da has worn out his lips, and the time he spent pestering Mr. Xiao He these days can be misleading, if it weren't for this person who was already married.

Teacher Xiao He finally agreed reluctantly for the sake of food, but there is always resentment and dissatisfaction.

There is nothing wrong with her reason. Those precision machine tools are most afraid of dust, and food is a thing with a lot of dust thieves. What is more troublesome is that this is the core area of ​​the arsenal, which belongs to the secret area. For this reason, Tang Dao has already been assigned to the arsenal. An exclusive guard platoon will even be upgraded to the guard company level in the future.

The result is good. Once the granary is built, the heavy soldiers come and go, and there are many people, so what's the secret?

Although they are all members of the regiment, this supply company will soon be dominated by recruits, and it is hard to guarantee that there will not be some people who are heart-to-heart. Don't you think Mr. He is not depressed!
Seeing Tang Dao come back, he couldn't help it after all. …

When Tang Dao heard this, he also felt a little overwhelmed.

Food is the foundation of the existing four-element regiment. Without this batch of grain, it is impossible for the four-element regiment to gain a foothold here; but the arsenal is the future of the four-element regiment. Without the arsenal to continuously manufacture weapons, the four-element regiment will If you want to fight the Japanese army with this little weapon in your hand, that is at most the combat power of a half-Japanese infantry regiment, and you will be blind when you encounter a Japanese infantry brigade.

"Well, Mr. He, don't worry, give me some time, half a month at most, I will remove this batch of food and make room for the arsenal. Although your arsenal has equipment and materials now, Don’t you have enough DC generators yet? It’s just that there’s no need to fight during this time, so don’t be in a hurry to make any ammunition, just take this batch of materials first, make a batch of Triangle Army thorns first, and equip the first battalion first. Come on." Tang Dao thought for a while, and first gave Teacher Xiao He a reassurance.

"What, you have materials now?" Teacher Xiao He shifted his attention instantly. "Don't mess with me. The triangular army thorn you asked for is too long and requires extremely high steel materials. Otherwise, it is likely to be self-defeating and it will break after a single thorn. The product produced by my Red Tooth Hole Arsenal cannot be defective. quality."

"Hongya Cave?" Tang Dao was taken aback, this thing is on the bank of Jialing River!

"It's a tooth, not a cliff!" Teacher Xiao He rolled his eyes, very anxious about Tang Tuanzuo's ability to understand.

It turns out that there is a lot of attention to whether this tooth is not on the other side of the cliff. The reason why it is called "red" is that it was the evening before the expedition and the sunset is as red as today. The sun just covered the cliffs on the left and right sides of the cave. Like a red battle flag.

Standing at the bottom of the cave, Mr. He, who watched the soldiers marching forward but did not dare to see them off in person, had hoped that this expedition would return with a complete victory like before. This natural red battle flag was specially sent by God. down.

And what about 'tooth'?

But looking at it from a distance, the entrance of the cave is like the mouth of a giant beast, and the few rocks standing at the entrance of the cave are the sharp teeth in the mouth of the giant beast, which are extremely aggressive.

At the same time, the tooth is also the hardest bone in the human body.

Therefore, red represents victory, and teeth imply that they will become a sharp weapon for the Chinese to fight back against the invaders.

This will be the spirit of all those in the Arsenal.

Don't tell me, Mr. Xiao He got the name, it's kind of like that, Tang Dao almost thought she was also a time-traveler.

In the novels of future special forces, if the protagonist is either Longya or Spike, it really makes Tang Dao, the King of Soldiers who has no title, feel ashamed!
But Tang Dao still gave Teacher Xiao He a thumbs up: "Senior intellectuals are different. They can talk so much about a name, so you can't accept it."

"Then what did you say, you thought we were good at romantic poetry and poetry in school? That's what those idlers did." Teacher Xiao He showed her small chest proudly.

But he didn't notice that the old handsome Tantai guy over there had a dark face.

Everyone here seems to play this game except him!
"Haha, isn't this the person that the officer said is 'nothing to do during the day, nothing to do at night'!" Li Jiujin bared his teeth and laughed at Zhao Daqiang, Qian Dazhu and others beside him. …

Qian Dazhu took a peek at the handsome middle-aged guy with veins popping out of his forehead, and reminded him in a low voice, "Brother Jiujin, don't talk about it, Teacher Tantai has an ugly face."

"Why?" Li Jiujin obviously hadn't reacted yet.

"Because I like writing poems and paintings the most, but I don't use birds!" The handsome middle-aged man almost spat Li Jiujin's face with saliva. "No, I have been smeared by you bastard, I have a bird."

Li Dalian has been in the military camp for more than ten years, and he has never seen any formations. Even if Tang Dao scolded him, he would dare to have a few words with Tang Dao, but at this moment, he really can only shrink his neck like a quail , bear it!
I don't even dare to wipe off the saliva on my face now!

In fact, old Tantai is also a powerful person. In the half a month since he arrived in Dakouzi Cave, he has not rested for half a day. He ran around saying that he was painting, but he did not draw the painting, but first drew a sketch map. Where there are mountains, where there is water, and where there is Tao, the painting is very clear.

This thing is simply a sand table drawn on paper. If the Japanese army came to attack the Dakouzidong area that day, this map might save the Four Elements Group from dying.

In the Four Elements Regiment, no one is respected by any status, even the highest officer Tang Dao, the reason why he can be respected has never been his colonel rank, but because he can lead the big guys to victory. survive!
The same is true for Tantai Yunshu. The identity of the future father-in-law of the head of the Four Elements Regiment may make people treat him respectfully and politely, and the money he once sent for emergency can also make people show courtesy to him, but it will never make a man with great military exploits The infantry company commander held back his saliva.

Especially before the map is finished!
"Hey, Captain Tang, tell me what kind of steel it is, I'm going to have a look!" Seeing the middle-aged handsome guy go crazy, even Mr. He, who is as strong as Xiao He, wants to avoid him for the time being.

"Is the steel for making tanks good?" Tang Dao pouted in the distance.

"That's good!" Teacher Xiao He turned his anger into joy, and stretched out his hand. "Come on, brethren, to see the property of our arsenal."

A group of students and company platoon leaders followed Teacher Xiao He and ran towards the steel blocks that had been blasted into pieces, for fear that they would suffer disaster if they ran too slowly.

The handsome old man Tantai saw that these big soldiers, including his own students, seemed to have unkind eyes, so he saw that his daughter's eyes were softer.

Tang Dao
The once elegant Jiangnan girl seems to have gone astray!
When did the eldest sister develop her temperament?

Are the rough men of the Four Elements Group so poisonous?
