The bottom line of the three army lieutenant generals was to use the food they snatched back from the Sixth Heavy Artillery Brigade position to supply the army.
It's just that the Sixth Heavy Artillery Brigade, which has become a bunch of dead ghosts, is too awesome to bring so much food, and Tang Dao has greatly exceeded their expectations. There are only 2,000 people, and they have to carry the wounded and all kinds of critical equipment.
Equipment, they actually carried all this food back like hard-working little ants.
Of course, this is all due to the Japanese organization at that time.
The heavy artillery brigade is a strategic force. It often has large artillery pieces that are several tons or even heavier. If you want to maneuver over long distances, you will definitely not be able to rely on mules and horses. The Japanese army, which is still semi-mechanized, has to equip the heavy artillery brigade with enough equipment.
truck.
With trucks towing cannons, some supplies can of course 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 units at any time, so Ushijima Sadao had an idea and simply put
Part of the baggage was placed at the Sixth 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 accompanying combat division's baggage regiment.
The reason why Ushijima Sadao, this unlucky boy, did not launch an attack during the whole day was not only because he was devastated without a heavy artillery brigade at this time, and he was missing half of his military supplies, but also almost scratched his bald head.
During the day, he was still thinking that the Chinese might be in a hurry to escape. The bombs were blown up, but they couldn't take away the mountains of food. They poured oil on them and burned them. At least they could save some, they could plunder.
Pay as much as you pay.
Unexpectedly, Tang Dao was much more powerful than he thought. After having 150 heavy artillery as fire support, he stayed on the territory of the 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade for a few more hours, and he just took the hard-working little Qianbao with him.
Ant, they moved all the baggage, not even a hair was left 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 he was cleaning the battlefield this time.
This guy has an astonishing talent for estimating the quantity of materials and arranging their transportation.
Not to mention other seizures, just talking about 80,000 kilograms of rice, even Tang Dao had a splitting headache when he looked at the mountains of rice bags.
Looking at the white rice, but you can't take away so much, and you have to burn these things that can save your life, who can't feel sad?
But Zhuang Shisan took the initiative and arranged for it. Is there a lot of food? It's simple, as long as there are enough ants, a mountain can be hollowed out.
Of the more than a thousand people left, as long as they can still walk and are strong, they can carry ten kilograms on their backs, and those who are injured can carry five kilograms. Commanders like Tang Dao are no exception.
Because of his strong strength, Tang Dao also carried a whole rice bag, which was almost thirty kilograms. Even a big guy like Heizi carried another twenty kilograms even when he was carrying a machine gun. Even Tantai Mingyue carried seven or eight kilograms of rice, which was almost a pound.
Thousands of kilograms of rice were carried for 20 kilometers by manpower.
The rest mainly relied on pack horses. Some of the pack horses were taken to the blocking position by Lei Xiong and others, and the remaining pack horses were used to carry rice bags.
Moreover, he showed no pity for the physical strength of the pack horses. Each pack horse carried more than 250 kilograms of weight, and some were even more. More than two hundred pack horses had to carry away 50,000 to 60,000 kilograms of rice. In his words, the pack horses were exhausted.
Even though I'm exhausted, I can still give everyone meat to eat. This theory makes a lot of sense.
Cans and other supplies, including seriously injured people, were all transported by horse-drawn carriage.
That is, once encountering the Japanese army, rice can be carried with you, and other supplies can be discarded except for the seriously wounded.
For this reason, the advance group did not hesitate to walk several kilometers on the simple road leading to the Jiashan defense line before descending into the wilderness.
The 18th Division was probably overwhelmed by the twelve heavy artillery pieces controlled by the advance group at that time. It had no intention of coming here to compete with the heavy artillery. After the main force of the Chinese army retreated on the defense line, they also
They also took the initiative to retreat several kilometers to the west.
What if the Chinese turn their guns towards them?
Zhuang Shisan may be slightly inferior to Lei Xiong and veterans like Guo Shouzhi in commanding ground battles, but in terms of logistics, he is definitely a talented player that they all can't match. He can estimate the weight of any material at a glance.
How many pack horses or carts are needed?
Later, Tang Dao simply ignored it and directly gave this guy the full responsibility for cleaning the battlefield and transporting the captured supplies.
In the end, the former security battalion commander stood on the best stage of his life and shined with dazzling brilliance. Under his careful coordination, the advance team used all existing human and material resources and squeezed the last bit of potential to complete the task.
That is a task that no one seems to be able to accomplish.
This is also one of the reasons why the advance team members slept like "dead pigs" on the ground as soon as they arrived at the station.
Not only was he mentally and physically exhausted from fighting for days, but he was also exhausted from being used as a mule by Deputy Battalion Commander Zhuang in the last wave.
"What did you do before you became the commander of the security battalion?" Tang Dao couldn't help but be curious about this subordinate who he usually didn't pay much attention to.
The reason why Zhuang Shisan was able to go to the garrison camp was really not because of his strong ability. If he had to be said to be okay, it was because during the battle in Songjiang Xicheng, this guy showed the courage that a gentleman should have.
, even before receiving the order to retreat, he still led a group of ordinary guys and refused to retreat.
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 no matter what.
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.
It's not bad, but it can't be said to be very good. On the contrary, Guo Shouzhi's second company played 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.
"Hey, before my brother-in-law became a 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,
There are so many, I just look at them and I know how many people and cars should be arranged." Zhuang Shisan, who was carrying ten kilograms of rice and ten kilograms of toffee on his back, was also very proud of his achievements today. "Without this ability, my brother-in-law wouldn't be able to do it.
You can’t spend money to send me to the security team.”
"That makes sense!" Tang Dao gave a thumbs up.
He is completely a genius in planning, and his brother-in-law, who is a businessman, is also very discerning.
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 50%, 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! How greedy human nature is! Tang Dao silently complained about the "darkness" of human nature among the three uncles! But he was worried about the drinking party that he couldn't avoid today.
That was a must-have drink, no matter what the reason was. Even if the Japanese army wanted to launch another attack, it would not be Tang Dao's turn 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 you get the 'big' Tang Dao drunk?
As for a sober Tang Dao, who can take a bullet from him? No one can violate military orders, including the commander who issued the military 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.
