Rise From Eight Hundred

Chapter 489 The ‘darkness’ of the uncles

Tang Dao had figured it out by now.

The bottom line of the three lieutenant generals was to take out the food he had snatched back from the Sixth Heavy Artillery Brigade's position to supply the army.

However, the Sixth Heavy Artillery Brigade, which had become a bunch of dead ghosts, was too awesome to bring so much food, and Tang Dao was far beyond their expectations. With only two thousand people, he had to carry the wounded and various heavy equipment, and he actually carried all the food back like a hardworking little ant.

Of course, it was all thanks to the Japanese organization at the time.

The heavy artillery brigade was a strategic force, and it was always a large artillery weighing several tons or even more. If it wanted to maneuver over long distances, it would definitely not work just by relying on mules and horses. The semi-mechanized Japanese army had to equip the heavy artillery brigade with enough trucks even if they had to sell everything they had.

With trucks to tow artillery, of course some supplies could be stored on the trucks. Since the 18th Division had to fight close to the front line, the baggage regiment needed to replenish the front-line infantry troops at any time, so Ushijima Sadao had an idea and simply put part of the baggage at the 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade.

Otherwise, how could a unit of the heavy artillery brigade carry such a large amount of rice in the army? Their supplies would basically be replenished by the baggage regiment of the following combat division.

The unlucky boy Ushijima Sadao did not launch an attack during the whole day, not only because he was exhausted because of the loss of a heavy artillery brigade, but also because he almost scratched his head because he lost half of his military supplies.

During the day, he thought that the Chinese might be eager to escape. The artillery was blown up, but they couldn't take away the mountains of food. Even if they were burned by oil, they could still rescue it. Whatever they could get was worth it.

But he didn't know that Tang Dao was much more powerful than he thought. After having 150 heavy artillery as firepower support, he stayed in the territory of the Sixth Heavy Artillery Brigade for a few more hours, and took thousands of hardworking little ants to move all the baggage, leaving nothing behind for the 18th Division.

No, or to be more precise, Zhuang Shisan is a talent.

This is also the amazing talent that Zhuang Shisan showed when cleaning the battlefield this time.

This guy has a jaw-dropping talent for estimating the amount of supplies and arranging their transportation.

Not to mention other captured items, just talking about 80,000 kilograms of rice, even Tang Dao had a splitting headache when he looked at the piles of rice bags.

Looking at the white rice, he couldn't take so much away, and he had to burn these things that could keep him alive. Who wouldn't feel distressed?

But Zhuang Shisan patted his chest and arranged it. Is there a lot of food? That's simple. As long as there are enough ants, a mountain can be hollowed out.

Of the remaining more than 1,000 people, those who could still walk and had strength carried 10 kilograms, and those who were injured carried 5 kilograms. Commanders like Tang Dao were no exception.

Because he was strong, Tang Dao also carried a whole bag of rice, which was almost 30 kilograms. Even a big guy like Heizi carried another 20 kilograms even with a machine gun. Even Tan Tai Mingyue carried 7 or 8 kilograms of rice. Almost 10,000 kilograms of rice were carried by manpower for nearly 20 kilometers.

The rest mainly relied on pack horses. Some pack horses were taken to the blocking position by Lei Xiong and others, and more pack horses were used to carry rice bags.

Moreover, there was no mercy on the physical strength of the pack horses. A pack horse carried more than 250 kilograms, and some even more. More than 200 pack horses carried 50,000 to 60,000 kilograms of rice. In his words, the pack horses were tired to death, and they could still give everyone meat. This theory made a lot of sense.

As for canned food and other supplies, including seriously injured people, all used horse-drawn carriages.

That is, if they encounter the Japanese army, they can carry rice with them, and other supplies can be abandoned except for the seriously injured.

For this reason, the advance group walked several kilometers on the simple road leading to the Jiashan defense line at the risk of danger before going down to the wilderness.

At that time, the 18th Division was probably stunned by the 12 heavy artillery controlled by the advance group, and had no intention of coming here to compete with the heavy artillery. After the main force of the Chinese army on the defense line retreated, they also took the initiative to retreat several kilometers to the west.

What if the Chinese turned the muzzle towards them?

Zhuang Shisan may be slightly inferior to veterans like Lei Xiong and Guo Shouzhi in commanding ground battles, but he is definitely a talented player who is beyond their reach in logistics. With a rough glance at any supplies, he can estimate how much weight it is and how many packhorses or carts are needed.

Later, Tang Dao simply ignored it and directly gave the job of cleaning the battlefield and carrying the captured supplies to this guy.

Finally, the former security battalion commander, who stood on the best stage of his life, shone with dazzling brilliance. Under his careful deployment, the advance team used all the existing human and material resources, and squeezed out the last bit of potential, and actually completed the task that no one thought was impossible to complete.

This is also one of the reasons why the advance team slept like "dead pigs" as soon as they arrived at the station.

Not only was it the double fatigue of the spirit and body from fighting for days, but the last wave was used as a mule by Deputy Battalion Commander Zhuang, which was really tiring.

"What did you do before you became the battalion commander of the security battalion?" Tang Dao couldn't help but be a little curious about this subordinate who he didn't care much about.

The reason why Zhuang Shisan was able to go to the garrison camp was really not because of his strong ability. If we had to say that he was not bad, it was because during the battle in Songjiang Xicheng, this guy showed the courage that a gentleman should have. , before receiving the order to retreat, he could still lead a group of ordinary guys and persist in not retreating.

However, that's all. In the eyes of many people, his being able to serve as the deputy battalion commander in the security camp is just an extra. After all, almost the entire first battalion of his security regiment has been incorporated into the security camp, and he will not be given to others. A position cannot be justified in any way.

Several consecutive battles also proved the limit of his abilities. The three consecutive battles he directly commanded were mediocre, with the same ranking and number.

Not bad, but not great either. On the contrary, Guo Shouzhi's second company fought very well, and even outshone the first company directly commanded by Tang Dao.

However, after this night, the soldiers who were full of energy and full of energy may have to change their views on this deputy battalion commander with mediocre abilities.

"Hehe, before my brother-in-law became brother-in-law, I was the captain of his family's transportation team. I could tell at a glance how much stuff was carried in that truck. Even if it was weighed, it wouldn't be wrong by a few kilograms! No matter how much the goods were, "It's a lot. I just look at it and I know how many people and cars to arrange." Zhuang Shisan, who was carrying ten kilograms of rice and ten kilograms of toffee, was also very proud of his achievements today. "Without this ability, my brother-in-law can't spend money to send me to the security team."

"That makes sense!" Tang Dao gave a thumbs up.

This is a total planning genius, and his brother-in-law, who is a businessman, is also very visionary.

Tang Dao also has the best candidate for his future logistics officer, as long as this guy can accompany him to "see the scenery" in the mountains!

However, Tang Dao's head was a little dizzy after being forced by Tie Hanhan's bearded uncle to have a bowl of sorghum wine with an alcohol content as high as fifty degrees, but his heart became clearer.

Among the three generals, Te Liang is even more greedy now.

They not only wanted food, but also wanted weapons and equipment.

Tang Dao could carry so much food back from the Sixth Heavy Artillery Brigade, as well as so many pack horses and carts, how could he lack weapons and equipment?

I want it, I want it, I want it too! How 'greedy' human nature is! Tang Dao silently complained about the "darkness" of the three uncles' human nature! But he is worried about the drinking party that he cannot avoid today.

That was a big drink that had to be had, no matter what the reason. Even if the Japanese army wanted to launch another attack, Tang Dao would not be able to lead his troops into battle in the past two days.

I'm afraid, no matter how high-end the Japanese sake that General Wu pretends to explain, Uncle Tiehanhan will never drink it.

The alcohol content is too low, how can the 'big' Tang Dao get drunk?

And a sober Tang Dao, who can dig out a bullet from him? No one can disobey military orders, including the commander who issued the order.

As these three people from Sichuan Province, Hunan Province, and Northeast China, they are obviously quite confident in their ability to drink.

Even if one person can't do it, if three people come together, the gods will be destroyed!

It's a pity that Tang Dao doesn't even know his true drinking capacity.

He seemed to have forgotten that he was born in Luzhou, Sichuan Province!

His cheap man is not a rich man in the ordinary sense.
