Early morning on October 29th.
The sleeping soldiers in the warehouse all woke up and were busy eating breakfast to prepare for a new day of fighting.
But the command headquarters on the fourth floor was filled with an almost suffocating silence.
Battalion Commander Yang Ruifu's face could be described as livid.
The only field radio used by the 524th Regiment for external communication was broken.
In other words, it's not broken, but it just can't be turned on.
Because the water and electricity in the warehouse have been cut off by the Japanese army, the field radio can only use its own battery. In order to save battery power, the Army Lieutenant Colonel stipulated that, except for special circumstances, it can only be turned on twice a day, in the morning and evening, for communication with the division headquarters and the concession.
Contact within.
However, when the signal troops turned on the radio as usual in the morning and planned to communicate with the division headquarters, they found that the battery with half power last night could not turn on the radio.
The communications squad leader was sweating profusely and couldn't even speak clearly.
The lieutenant colonel was equally frightened and angry.
This is simply more despairing than hearing last night that we can no longer get any supplies, which means that the Sihang Warehouse has truly become an isolated island from this moment on. Let alone supplies, no information from the outside world can be transmitted in.
The battery was inspected and there were obvious signs of short circuit, which was obviously man-made.
The communications class where the field radio station is located is right next to the headquarters. It serves as the command center for the warehouse defenders. Even when the war in the warehouse is at its fiercest, there are at least four sentries standing guard in the security class directly under the battalion headquarters from the stairs up here.
Who can escape the ears of the four sentries and enter the warehouse to destroy the field radio?
What is even more puzzling is that this terrifying infiltrator only damaged the batteries of the field radio and did not perform any other acts of sabotage.
The Army Lieutenant Colonel who calmed down from his shock and anger narrowed his eyes slightly, with a cold look on his face: "Go, ask Captain Tang Dao to come to the headquarters. I have something to tell him."
Although the theater headquarters has sent an order to upgrade the entire warehouse to one level, the warehouse defenders didn't take it too seriously. Moreover, no new military rank badges were delivered. Basically, they were still called according to their original positions, like the Army's Lieutenant Colonel
This is the first time that the school has addressed Tang Dao's latest military rank in such a formal way.
Yang Ruifu was shocked. He understood what the change of title meant.
That means that this is an extremely formal conversation, an exchange between an Army colonel and an Army captain, and it almost requires formal minutes.
Could it be?
But indeed, apart from Tang Dao, he couldn't think of anyone else with such unpredictable abilities.
Yang Ruifu no longer dared to think about it. If so, it would have an unimaginable impact on the warehouse defenders.
The Army Major even had the urge to suggest that the matter should be suppressed even if it was Tang Dao.
Until this moment, he didn't know how important the Tang Sword was to him and even to this desperate army. It was even so indispensable that he could ignore it even if he made such a big mistake.
However, he still couldn't figure out why Tang Dao did this. It was illogical.
The guard squad leader who was responsible for notifying Tang Dao came back soon, but he didn't bring Tang Dao back. Instead, Shangguan Yun and veteran Youzi Li Jiujin came.
The lieutenant colonel's originally cold face was filled with anger: "Where is Captain Tang Dao?"
Shangguan Yun and Li Jijin looked at each other guiltily, and finally the company commander Shangguan Yun reported: "Tang Dao took Lao Li and the third team out of the warehouse at three o'clock in the morning. He said that the Japanese army will not give up today.
Large-scale attacks may not happen again, but small-scale harassment and shelling will definitely continue, and he has to make the Japanese commander cry again, otherwise he will have no chance."
"Li Jijin, you and your third squad are back, where are the Tang Dao people?" The face of the Army Lieutenant Colonel became even more angry.
"The platoon leader said he would lurk in the ruins throughout the day, waiting for opportunities to coldly kill Japanese commanders at all levels." Li Jijin licked his dry lips and said with some difficulty.
As a veteran, he already felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere at the headquarters. Both the regimental deputy and the battalion commander looked too ugly.
"Bastard!" the Army Lieutenant Colonel slapped his hand on the simple conference table and paced back and forth in the room angrily.
"Who does he think Tang Dao is, the God of War? He makes decisions without reporting to his superiors! And you, Shangguan Yun, how did you become the company commander? During the battle between the two armies, your platoon leader came up with the idea
You just left and you stayed on the battlefield privately, why didn't you report it to me?"
Shangguan Yun and veteran Youzi looked at each other. Of course, they didn't understand why the supreme commander was so furious. It seemed that this was not the first time Tang Dao had done this, and the reason why Tang Dao left the warehouse was because the man in front of him had ordered only Shangguan to use it.
Just report in the cloud.
Perhaps only Yang Ruifu knew what Chief Xie meant by being able to make decisions. It was not about leaving the warehouse and lurking on the battlefield to snipe the Japanese troops, but about destroying the field radio.
If it was just suspicion before, now the fact that Tang Dao left the warehouse since three o'clock in the morning is almost confirmed to be his doing. He had enough time and enough ability, except for his unknown motive.
However, whether it was Yang Ruifu or the Army Lieutenant Colonel, even if they had already determined that it was Tang Dao who did it, what really made them angry was not that Tang Dao secretly destroyed the radio station and placed the warehouse on an information island, but that for whatever reason,
Tang Dao should report to them and should not make decisions without authorization.
"Did Tang Dao say anything before he left?" Yang Ruifu looked at the army lieutenant colonel who rarely showed such emotions, suppressed the anger in his heart, and tried to be as gentle as possible.
It can also be regarded as indirectly easing the tension within the headquarters.
"Before leaving, the platoon leader confessed that the Japanese army might come up with other crooked ideas because they were unable to attack for a long time, such as sending spies to pretend to be my superiors and conveying wrong military orders to make our army collapse without a fight. He ordered us to take strict precautions and must not be credulous.
According to his identity, he can be killed if necessary." Veteran Youzi replied.
Army Lieutenant Colonel and Yang Ruifu looked at each other and somewhat understood the meaning of Tang Dao's order.
Perhaps, something happened outside that they didn't know about, and Tang Dao, as an elite trained by that department, might have known some information in advance.
This is the so-called preconception. They combined their guess about Tang Dao's identity with the incident of sabotaging the radio station, and this seemingly normal but absolutely weird order, and it turned out to be quite normal.
"Okay, you two go back first. If Tang Dao comes back, ask him to report to the headquarters immediately!" Yang Ruifu waved his hand and drove away the captain, the company commander, who still didn't understand, and the veteran Youzi, who had been promoted to second lieutenant.
"Sir, what do you think?" Yang Ruifu looked at the lieutenant colonel whose expression had returned to calm.
"First do what Tang Dao said!" The Army Lieutenant Colonel sat down and slowly took out a cigarette. The light blue smoke covered his deep eyes, making it difficult to see the emotions in it. "Everything is waiting for him.
Let’s talk about it when we get back.”
It is strange that even if they knew that Tang Dao, as a saboteur, destroyed the most important external communication tool in the warehouse, the field radio, and left the warehouse alone, none of the two senior commanders would think that Tang Dao
will leave.
No one would think that Tang Dao would not come back alive.
Even though he is lurking in the ruins of the battlefield, which is full of dangers.
Now, it's daytime, not nighttime.
It is no longer just trust between colleagues, it is comrades-in-arms and even brothers!
It took Tang Dao two days and three nights to completely integrate into this iron-blooded army and become one of them.
