Rise From Eight Hundred

Chapter 551 A Bolt from the Blue

The independent battalion was almost exhausted in order to transport a series of supplies to the Jiaxing defense line. Naturally, they took advantage of the Japanese army not chasing them and slept soundly in the fortifications.

Although Tan Tai Mingyue did not have to carry more than ten kilograms of weight and walk more than twenty kilometers like the officers and soldiers, all the pack horses and carriages had to haul supplies and wounded soldiers. No matter whether it was the female nurses or the Tan Tai reporter, they all marched on foot. Moreover, the stubborn Tan Tai reporter gritted his teeth and helped the female nurses of the medical platoon to carry the medicine boxes on the way.

No matter how strong she was mentally, the moment she arrived at the fortifications, her body could not bear it after all. She fell asleep directly on the quilt that Tang Dao had laid for her, and she didn't even drink a mouthful of the hot rice porridge prepared by the command for the independent battalion.

Tang Dao, the chief officer of the independent battalion, was not as lucky as the officers and soldiers of the independent battalion. He had just arrived at the atmosphere and had not had time to take a few breaths before he was notified by the 43rd Army Headquarters to attend a meeting.

Although there are several lieutenant general deputy commanders, major general brigade commanders, and colonel regiment commanders, he, an army colonel, is the chief officer with the most troops under the 43rd Army. If he doesn't go to the meeting, the generals will probably feel that something is missing.

What's more, Battalion Commander Tang has always been amazing and never follows the cliché. What's more amazing is that the facts have proved that his amazing remarks are ultimately correct.

This meeting lasted from 10 a.m. to the afternoon. From the Jiaxing combat strategy to what the 43rd Army should do in the future, the division commanders, brigade commanders, and regiment commanders expressed their own opinions, arguing and arguing. Only Tang Dao was yawning and absent-minded, and only occasionally agreed.

Because only he knew in his heart that it was meaningless for the 43rd Army to discuss it alone! Even these did not depend on the will of the command, but depended on the results of the secret competition among the superstructures.

Judging from the status of Lieutenant General Guo and the 43rd Army in the heart of the seriously ill King of Sichuan Province, they are likely to win the qualification for retreat. After all, the record of withstanding the fierce attack of a Japanese infantry regiment in Dachang Town for seven days without retreating is also the most impressive honor of the Sichuan Army.

Sure enough, in the afternoon, General Guo, who returned to the military headquarters, made the final decision. The next step is to arrange which troops to withdraw first and which troops to withdraw later. This time it is not a retreat of more than 20 kilometers from Jiashan to Jiaxing, but a direct retreat to Wuhu and cross the river from there. At that time, we will see whether to go to Pengcheng or directly to Jiujiang in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.

The generals were better at this than Tang Dao, who only made one suggestion: "If you want the whole army to be successful, you must do your best to kill the small-scale Japanese infiltration forces in the rear, and kill as many as you can until the Japanese stop sending heads.

Although the Japanese reinforcements are coming from Taihu Lake to Jiaxing, it is 200 kilometers away. Even if they march 100 miles a day, it will take at least three to four days, and the whole army in Jiaxing still has enough time.

This opinion was of course adopted by General Guo and Division Commander Liu. There is no doubt that this combat mission naturally fell on his independent battalion. Who made his independent battalion not only have many elite troops with strong military exploits, but also have Tang Dao, the battalion commander who often comes up with surprising tactics!

Not to mention the 43rd Army with less than 2,000 people, it also has 1 The 67th Army with 5,000 troops and the 128th Division with 5,000 troops also thought this was natural.

However, Lieutenant General Wu was very considerate and sent his cavalry battalion to Tang Dao for dispatch to increase Tang Dao's mobility in clearing the Japanese special forces in the rear.

Jiaxing and Jiashan are both plains. Relying on the two legs of the infantry, they may not be able to find anyone even if they run to death, right? But the Japanese can hide in the dark and just observe whether the Chinese want to run away again.

After all this, Tang Dao, who was dizzy, just wanted to go back to the base and sleep for two hours. He still had a lot of things to do next.

As a result, when he walked to the base, he saw two sentries arguing with a middle-aged old man in a long robe and a long beard on his face.

Tan Tai Yunshu was very angry!

Xing He rushed to see his daughter. The guards around the commander of the 67th Army were not just for show. They were simply walking passes. When more than a dozen checkpoints heard that he was a guest of General Wu, they all respectfully let him pass. As a result, when he was only one step away from his daughter, the living pass did not work. No matter how much the guard Xiao Chong said, the two sentries refused to let him in. They said that the battalion commander had ordered that the entire battalion was under repair and no one was allowed to enter.

If you want to find Tan Tai reporter, you can wait for them to notify her to come out to greet you.

Tan Tai Yunshu can naturally understand military affairs. At least it proves from the side that the military discipline of this infantry battalion commander who is known as the independent battalion directly under the 43rd Army is still very strict.

But Jiangnan Dacai did not expect that he had been waiting outside the checkpoint for more than half an hour, and his daughter did not show up. , the sentry who went to call him was also indifferent to his constant inquiries in a hurry.

It was fine to see others, but it was so difficult to see his daughter who had been worried about him for several months. How could a proud person like Tan Tai Yunshu not be angry?

As for the soldiers of the baggage company who were in charge of the post at this time, almost all combat troops were asleep. Their baggage company received the task of guarding the entire battalion for the first time. The company commander and the deputy company commander issued a death order. This was wartime. If anyone made a mistake, the serious one would be sentenced to death, and the minor one would have to feed the horse for a month.

Naturally, according to the military order issued by Tang Dao before his departure, let alone the guards around the commander of the 67th Army, even if the commander of the 67th Army came in person, they would only dare to let Wu Junzuo in and would not let this old man with a long beard who looked a bit stylish in.

And, you are still looking for Tan Tai reporter. What? Are you trying to snatch a woman from our battalion commander? If it weren't for the friendly army accompanying you, we would have put a sack on you, an old man, and beaten you up!

This kind of work is very easy for the soldiers who came from the security group.

The so-called report was actually just that the corporal of the baggage company, under the instruction of his squad leader, ran around in the fortifications and came back without calling anyone.

Of course, the main reason for these people to have this mentality is that the Jiangnan talent is really too handsome. He is in his forties or fifties. Although his face is a little haggard, he is full of bookish air. His long beard does not look rough like a soldier who has not worn a beard for a long time. Instead, it adds a bit of trance. His figure is quite upright. Wherever he stands, the temperament of a talented and handsome middle-aged gentleman comes to the face.

Let alone women, the former security guards who had seen some of the world in Songjiang City all felt a lot of pressure. The battalion commander was very handsome, but in terms of being handsome, there was still a gap between him and this guy.

Tang Dao was MAN, but that kind of tough guy style was quite common in the army, and the soldiers were somewhat accustomed to it, but Tan Tai Yunshu was a scholarly and elegant person that the soldiers rarely came into contact with, so it was normal for them to feel psychological pressure.

The bastards in the independent battalion were doing it on purpose, and the guard Xiao Chong was also very angry. He told Old Tan Tai and ran to the 67th Army to ask for help.

Old Tan Tai persisted for several minutes, and finally realized that these ** were completely fooling him and didn't want him to come in at all.

The so-called "courtesy first, then force"! Tan Tai Yunshu was a scholar, but he was very stubborn. It would be strange if he didn't yell at these soldiers who were unhappy with him.

The sentinels dared not to fight, but the mentality of the soldiers was "let him be arrogant, the bright moon shines on the river". They stood upright with their guns and ignored the old man!

Especially after seeing Tang Dao coming over.

So, Tang Dao frowned and walked forward quickly to see such a scene. An old man who looked like a dog was spraying at his soldiers. How could he feel good?

Who are you? I can only scold my soldiers, who do you think you are?

"Sir!" Several soldiers saluted hurriedly.

Tang Dao simply returned the salute, his eyes swept to Tan Tai Yunshu, whose beard was curled up with anger, and his brows were twisted.

"This old man, this is an important military camp. You are making a loud noise here and disturbing our soldiers' rest. From the perspective of military discipline, I have the right to take measures. Please leave. I'll give you ten seconds." A colonel who was tired all night and held a military meeting for most of the day rarely asked about the cause and effect, and drove people away based on seeing is believing.

Facts have proved that seeing is not necessarily believing. A certain protagonist who has always been protected by God also fell into a big pit because of his own negligence.

"Is your independent battalion so arrogant and so arrogant? I..." Tan Tai Yunshu almost fainted.

No wonder the soldiers below are idiots! It turns out that this commander is also a bird! Judging from his age, he should be a small platoon leader. Such a young officer is arrogant. How can his daughter follow such a unit?

And, who is the old man? I am obviously not yet at the age of knowing my destiny, okay?

"No matter what you want, old man, please leave now and don't disturb my officers and soldiers to rest." Tang Dao waved his hand unhappily, like chasing flies.

Whether in the past life or this life, he can't stand those literati who think they are superior because they have read a little book. If you have the ability, you can throw away your pen and pick up your gun to go to the battlefield! Do you think you are Tan Tai Mingyue!

I am an old man! Old Tan Tai almost got so angry that he snatched the saber from the leggings of the young platoon leader in front of him.

He didn't want to stab him, but to shave off the beautiful beard he had kept for several years, so that he could see that I am not old, not old, okay!

"Okay, you wait for me!" The old man was straightforward and turned around and left.

If he didn't leave, he was worried that he would have a heart attack because of this young platoon leader.

After walking two steps, a female soldier with slightly messy hair came out of a fortification more than 30 meters away, holding a bowl in one hand and a potato in the other.

The old man and the female soldier stared at each other "affectionately" from more than 20 meters away.

Tang Dao, who was standing behind, was slightly stunned.

"Nannan!" The old man was stunned for a few seconds, and tears were about to fall.

"Dad! Why are you here?" Tan Tai Mingyue was surprised.

Damn! Tang Dao was like a bolt from the blue.

Several soldiers in the baggage company wanted to cry at that moment, for themselves and their superiors...
