Rise From Eight Hundred

Chapter 572 Deserter (Part 2)

"Brother, Liu is just joking, why take it so seriously?" The officer's expression became kind, and his tone was naturally much softer.

"No need to chat, brother. Who are you? What position do you hold? My unit is responsible for supervising the war in the war zone and has the power to supervise all deployments in the war zone! If there is a redeployment, my unit needs to check the military order!" Tang Dao still had a cold face and said, "Stranger should not approach me."

"Supervisory team?" The officer's face instantly became extremely ugly.

After a long while, he forced a smile again, took two steps forward and whispered, "My regiment, under the order of Commander Tang of the Army Headquarters, withdrew to the west of Guangde for defense. This is a secret military order and will be destroyed immediately after receiving the telegram. If you still don't believe it, you can send a telegram to my Army Headquarters to ask for it. The military situation is urgent, so please make way for my unit to pass. Liu will definitely reward you in the future!"

"Is your surname Liu?" Tang Dao's heart suddenly moved.

This surname seemed to remind him of something.

The defeat of the 433rd Brigade seemed to be not only due to the superior strength of the Japanese army and the weakness of the Sichuan army, but also because on the key battlefield, a regiment commander surnamed Liu led the entire regiment to flee, resulting in the loss of the flank positions and the occupation by the Japanese army, and finally had to die on the battlefield.

Could it be that this guy in front of him?

"Yes, brother, my surname is Liu, and my name is Ruzhai! I am appointed as the commander of the 2nd Regiment under the 433rd Brigade." Seeing that Tang Dao seemed to have softened his tone, he hurriedly introduced himself.

"Liu Ruzhai! I know you!" Tang Dao looked at the sturdy and big-faced army colonel commander in front of him, his eyes deep and said faintly.

He finally remembered.

In the past, there was such a record in the Guangde Defense War report written by later generations.

"The Japanese army dispatched more than 20 planes to bomb the Guangde defense line, and countless officers and soldiers of the 145th Division were killed and wounded. Although the Japanese army had all the advantages, they also paid a heavy price in front of the Sichuan Army who fought to the death. There were piles of corpses in front of the Guangde defense line.

The Japanese army saw that they could not succeed, and they continuously transferred elite troops from Dongdongting Mountain and Xidongting Mountain to reinforce, frantically used planes and artillery to bomb, and attacked endlessly.

Soon, Rao Guohua's troops were surrounded by the Japanese army on three sides, and the position was almost razed to the ground, and the battle situation gradually became a decline. Rao Guohua's command post was also blown down, and he continued to command the battle in the bomb crater.

At this critical moment, the regiment commander Liu Ruzhai called and said that there were only a few dozen people left in his regiment. In order to leave a few seeds for the whole regiment, he had to retreat.

Rao Guohua was so angry that he roared loudly on the phone, but he could not change Liu Ruzhai's mind. Liu Ruzhai's unauthorized retreat had extremely serious consequences.

The front line of defense in Guangde City was broken!"

"You are the brother-in-law of General Tang." Tang Dao said softly.

"It seems that you are also a man of great power! You know all this." Liu Ruzhai nodded with a smile. "After this battle, I will invite you to have a drink and chat."

"So, these are the dozens of people you mentioned on the phone to Chief Rao?" Tang Dao looked coldly at the more than a thousand people standing on the mountain road, and felt an inexplicable pain in his heart.

As a soldier, he respected these Sichuan soldiers who fought in the cold wind in summer clothes. In the entire southeast, there was no other army like them who was called the "Beggar Army" and still resolutely buried their bodies in a foreign land.

But as a soldier, he didn't want to see these soldiers he respected become deserters, fleeing the battlefield in despair, leaving the country and defense line to the invaders, and throwing his brothers who fought side by side into the encirclement of the Japanese invaders.

But the fact is that under the leadership of the colonel who nailed his name to the pillar of shame, they were cowardly, they fled, and now they are several miles away from their positions.

If he hadn't arrived at that time, they would have bypassed Guangde County and fled into the mountains farther away.

"Hehe! Well, there must be more than a few dozen people, but you know, my regiment has lost more than one-third of its troops in Si'an. They were all raised by our parents with great effort. I can't just leave them here!" Liu Ruzhai said with a wry smile.

"Yes! They were raised by our parents with great effort. Who wants to die in a foreign land and never serve them again!" Tang Dao also sighed slightly. "But have you ever thought about it, Commander Liu? Rao and the other brothers of the 433rd Brigade were also born by their parents. You and your brothers are alive, but they are all going to die."

"This" Liu Ruzhai was a little at a loss for words, but he still tried to refute. "I have advised Division Commander Rao that the Japanese army has planes and cannons, and we cannot defeat them."

"In the Songhu battlefield, the Japanese army faced not only planes and cannons, but also naval guns with a caliber of more than 200 mm. One shell killed a platoon of brothers. The 7,000 brothers of the 26th Division of the 43rd Army of the Sichuan Army fought for seven days and nights, but only 600 of them could walk off the battlefield, and I didn't see any of them retreat." Tang Dao continued to whisper.

"Brother, what do you mean? Who are you? Can you make way and give me a definite answer!" Hearing this, Liu Ruzhai, who looked embarrassed, was already a little impatient on his face, and his tone gradually became tough.

"Who I am is not important. What's important is that you, Commander Liu, have deserted. You deserve to die!" Tang Dao's eyes were cold and sharp.

It was like a steel knife out of its sheath, with its sharp edge exposed, stabbing Liu Ruzhai's face so ugly that he subconsciously retreated.

But it was too late.

Tang Dao had already taken two big steps forward, approaching him.

The Browning pistol in the gun bag on his waist was pointed at the forehead of Liu Ruzhai, who had just taken a step back.

"Brother, let's talk it over, let's talk it over! Why do you have to do this!" Liu Ruzhai was so scared that his face turned pale and his voice completely changed.

He really didn't expect that the so-called war supervisor in front of him would be so simple and rude. In front of thousands of people under his command, he directly pointed a gun at his forehead.

This is a reckless man!

"I am a war supervisor, you are a deserter, tell me, what can I say to you?" Tang Dao's face was indifferent, and the hand holding the gun directly opened the safety.

"You are a small war supervisor, how dare you arbitrarily convict someone, not to mention that I haven't convicted him yet, even if I have convicted him, it is not something you, a school-level war supervisor, can kill." Seeing Tang Dao like this, Liu Ruzhai gritted his teeth and started to act arrogantly. "If you have the guts, just shoot, and my more than a thousand brothers will never forgive you."

The captain company commander beside him immediately took out his Mauser pistol and pointed it at Tang Dao after hearing what Liu Ruzhai said. The soldiers in the distance were in a commotion, and they didn't know how many guns were pointed at Tang Dao.

"Brother, you have your duty as a supervisor. I don't blame you. How about this? If you think I'm deserting, you can report me to my army headquarters and my army headquarters will order me to be punished!" Liu Ruzhai saw that Tang Dao did not take the next step, thinking that he hesitated, and tried his best to persuade him.

"Yes! If these more than a thousand people want to be deserters like you, I, Tang Dao, really dare not kill you!" Tang Dao sighed.

Then he shouted loudly at the more than a thousand people who pointed their guns at him: "My name is Tang Dao, the commander of the independent battalion directly under the 43rd Army, and now the supervisor of the Guangde Defense Zone! Under the order of the war zone commander, I will lead my independent battalion to supervise the defense zone. Those who are afraid of fighting will be killed! Those who desert will be killed! Those who disobey military orders will be killed!"

The metallic sound spread far between the two mountains, and the three sonorous and powerful "must kill" orders made the faces of the Sichuan soldiers standing on the road look extremely ugly.

It seems that, under the leadership of their regiment leader, they have committed all three "kill orders".

"Wait a minute, Commander Tang" Liu Ruzhai, who was frightened to the point of weakness, tried to make a final effort.

He had already sensed the strong murderous aura emanating from this Colonel Tang, whose name he seemed to have heard before.

That was not a bluff, he really wanted to kill.

"Bang!" A gunshot...
