Rise From Eight Hundred

"Distribute to each unit? Tell me what you think. If it makes sense, I'll follow your opinion!" Lieutenant General Wu raised his eyebrows and said.

"Three machine guns go to the 107th Division. Its guard battalion performed well in the battle to block the 36th Infantry Brigade. Tang Dao expressed his gratitude! Three machine guns go to the 128th Division. When our advance regiment returned to the defense line, it was an infantry regiment under its command that guarded it at night. Tang Dao also expressed his gratitude! Four machine guns go to the 108th Division. In this battle, if it weren't for the battalion commander of the guard battalion directly under its division and its spearhead company, our unit would never have won such a brilliant victory. Tang Dao and the brothers of the advance regiment have nothing to repay." Tang Dao said very seriously.

"Good! Very good! This request, I approve it!" Lieutenant General Wu couldn't help but feel excited when he heard what Tang Dao said.

For a supreme commander like him, the several troops under his command came from Sichuan, Hunan, Northeast China, and Songjiang. Not to mention the hodgepodge, the coordination of their relationships is also very troublesome. Rather than saying that he needed to come up with a surprise plan to win, it is better to say that he temporarily brought these troops together with his strong coordination ability.

Tang Dao and the advance group did not say that they were proud of their achievements. What he wanted to see most was that they remembered the help of friendly forces and shared their own captured spoils with friendly forces.

As for why there was no 43rd Army, Tang Dao and the independent battalion to be established belonged to the 43rd Army, leaving only two machine guns for themselves, and most of the rest were given to friendly forces. It is understandable that the 108th Division, which made the most sacrifices, took one more.

If several lieutenant generals knew that this was Tang Dao's request, their goodwill would definitely increase!

"If you have any other requests, tell me all of them, I will approve them all." Lieutenant General Wu, who was in a good mood, spoke quickly and said directly.

After finishing speaking, he quickly realized his grammatical error and added: "However, several infantry divisions are undergoing repairs due to heavy losses, and the division headquarters are busy and exhausted. You should avoid going to their side if you have nothing to do."

This statement is still obscure on the surface, but in fact it has clearly told Tang Dao: "Don't think of picking up a hoe to dig tree roots after giving you a candy. Don't blame me for not reminding you. Several lieutenant generals and division commanders are very angry. Don't go to get beaten!"

"How can I? I'm looking for the military headquarters! Not them." Tang Dao shook his head and made his attitude clear.

"What do you want? There are not many people in my 67th Army headquarters." Lieutenant General Wu was slightly stunned, and then quickly realized that this guy wanted to find the military headquarters. Who else is there besides his 67th Army headquarters?

The 43rd Army? There are only a dozen people in the 43rd Army headquarters, and all the others have been assigned to the front-line troops.

Comrade Lao Wu said this, which is almost clear. He will not admit it.

Just now, that was just drunken talk. Who made Tang Dao act like a drunkard last night? The boss can completely find a suitable psychological comfort for his cheating.

"I want Lü Sanjiang and a cavalry platoon!" Tang Dao no longer lowered his eyebrows and looked docile this time, but no longer concealed his "ambition" and came straight to the point.

"A cavalry platoon" Lieutenant General Wu took a breath, but did not immediately refute.

A cavalry platoon of more than 20 people, he either couldn't afford it, or, after a series of battles, his 67th Army's direct cavalry battalion had less than 100 people left, and it would be painful to give it out.

But if you want to refuse! Tang Dao took out 80% of the captured food, which solved the army's worries about food and grass for at least half a month, and also took out most of the captured light and heavy weapons, which can be said to have helped him, the commander-in-chief, a lot.

This refusal, but it was impossible to open the mouth anyway.

"Asshole, what do you need cavalry for in a small infantry battalion? And war horses are not ordinary pack horses that only need fodder, so they need to be fed with refined grain to ensure combat effectiveness. What do you use to feed them in your independent battalion?" Lieutenant General Guo, who had not spoken for a long time, scolded Tang Dao.

"Don't worry, sir. This time, our unit seized a lot of bean cakes from the Japanese army. It may be difficult to feed a large number of cavalry, but a cavalry platoon is still no problem." Tang Dao answered with a lowered eyebrow.

Damn! This is a double act! Wolong glanced at his angry partner with some suspicion, and was extremely suspicious.

From the perspective of affiliation, these two are actually in the same group. Otherwise, why do you have to talk about horse feed?

Cavalry is highly mobile and can do battlefield reconnaissance and flexible combat, but only commanders who have raised cavalry know how much it costs.

To ensure the physical fitness of war horses, low-nutrient substances such as fodder are almost abandoned. War horses eat grains, bean cakes, soybean meal, soybeans and even millet, which are the staple food of war horses. And a warhorse weighs hundreds of kilograms, how much food does it need? The food to feed one cavalryman is enough to feed five infantrymen.

He is the army commander, how come he doesn't know the situation of the cavalry battalion directly under the army?

This time to the southeast, the long-distance march of thousands of kilometers has consumed a lot of baggage, and the result is a fierce battle. There is not enough food for people, so what can they use to feed the horses? In order to ensure the physical fitness of the warhorses, the cavalrymen not only look for grass everywhere, but also feed the horses with the rations allocated to them.

The warhorses are eating better, but in the long run, people can't stand it!

For this reason, Gu Shaoxun went to him to cry when he was in Songjiang.

But he is the commander-in-chief of the entire army, not the commander of the first cavalry battalion, and there are so many wounded who need millet and other fine grains to supplement their nutrition, and he can't feed these into the horses' stomachs.

This is a typical case of "wanting the horse to run but not feeding it". Every time he thinks of this, he, the lieutenant general, wants to scratch his head.

As a result, when Lao Guo mentioned this pain point, Tang Dao bluntly stated that he had enough to feed. Are they both poking his heart together?

"Sir, in this battle, the cavalry troops must always be the spearhead vanguard of our advance group and make great contributions.

When they return to their respective units, they will bring 15 days of food and grass for the troops! Sir, don't worry about the cavalry food supply problem." Tang Dao looked at the hesitant and upset Lieutenant General Wu and said very seriously.

When the leader is upset, the subordinates solve the leader's upset.

What is considerate? This is it.

Such a considerate subordinate, can't even meet such a small request?

What's more, Lao Guo, who has always given him great support and never steals his limelight, secretly spoke for Tang Dao. This face must be given.

Originally, a cavalry platoon was the precarious bottom line of this lieutenant general, and Tang Dao's final "tycoon's throw" completely broke this bottom line.

"Okay, stop pretending to be a good person here, you just want a cavalry platoon from me! Here it is, go find Gu Shaoxun yourself and say that I said that a full cavalry platoon should report to your independent battalion and transfer the military status to your unit!" Lieutenant General Wu scolded. "Get out of here, I'm tired of seeing you!"

"Yes!" Tang Dao stood straight.

Lieutenant General Wu definitely bleeds a lot this time, a cavalry platoon even has its military status transferred, that is completely given to Tang Dao, he has to accept this favor. After being scolded twice, he can't lose a piece of meat.

"Then what are you still standing there for?"

"That Lu Sanjiang?" Tang Dao said shamefacedly.

That's a guy he values ​​very much, and he is considered a core member of the future elite team, and his role is no less than that of a cavalry platoon.

"Here you go!" Lieutenant General Wu waved his hand with some pain.

A cavalry platoon was given, so he didn't care about a newly promoted cavalry lieutenant, even though Gu Shaoxun came to report to him yesterday that this was one of the outstanding cavalrymen who emerged in this operation.

Comrade Lao Wu wanted to drive Tang Dao away quickly now, lest this guy have other strange requests. He was already hurt by the digging, and he didn't want to hurt his kidneys.

But Comrade Lao Wu probably didn't expect that he would regret his "irresponsible" and casual agreement this time and his kidneys would hurt for several months.

What he sent away was not the best cavalryman in his cavalry battalion, but it was definitely the cavalryman with the most potential.

"Now, get out of here and reorganize your independent battalion. Don't let me see you again today. If your independent battalion can't play the combat effectiveness it should, you will come to the headquarters and be a staff officer!"

"Then you will be troubled!" Tang Dao said with a smile while saluting.

"Get lost!"

Tang Dao ran away with his head in his hands.

Seeing Tang Dao disappear at the entrance of the command department, the two lieutenant generals of the army breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

One was that this ‘god of plague’ finally left, fortunately he didn’t ask for too much; the other was that this guy was too much of a sheep, I almost didn’t catch him, I have to teach him a lesson next time, please restrain yourself.

Tang Dao, fortunately these two old foxes are my own people!
