The Si Xing Tuan’s residence is eighty or ninety kilometers away from Xuzhou City.
When we returned with a full load of supplies, it was not like the cavalry platoon and baggage platoon riding horses and carriages arriving in a few hours. It took a full day and a half, and it was not until the afternoon of the next day that we arrived at the station.
When he saw his little cotton-padded jacket again, Lao Tantai, who had been sleeping on the quilt in the big car, acted like a spirited young man and jumped out of the car.
It’s just that the image is not that good!
Looking at the old father with messy hair and unshaven beard, Tantai Mingyue almost felt distressed.
As the saying goes, a daughter is better known than her father, but a daughter knows her father equally well.
Tantai Yunshu has been well-fed and well-fed since he was a child, and he is an artist at a high level. Wherever he goes, he cannot look like a refined "Bo Yi", how can he look like a homeless person now?
That is to say, I took the time to wash my face and comb my hair in Xuzhou City, otherwise Tantai Mingyue might not even recognize her father!
It's just that Tantai Mingyue apparently misunderstood the enthusiasm of her old father who rushed down from the cart and took her hand. In fact, it was no longer a simple desire for his daughter.
Rather
You know, it's not that easy to get over the hurdle of having some bastard holding his hand and calling him "Daddy".
Many people came out of the station to greet Tang Dao and Lao Tantai, including almost all the captain-level officers of the Si Xing Regiment.
The cavalry platoon had already sent two cavalrymen to lead the main force and ran back to report the news. Among the people who returned were not only a large amount of supplies, but also Tantai Mingyue's old father.
Not only for the sake of distributing supplies, but also for the face of Tantai Mingyue's great reporter, the company commander-level officers did not dare to neglect, and they all dropped their affairs and went out to meet him.
But no one expected that old man Tantai would be so direct. He didn't say hello to everyone, but just took his daughter and hid away to whisper.
This old man is rude!
"My dear! Are you and that brat Tang Dao already together?" Pulling his daughter, Tantai Yunshu lowered his voice, and the little tongue in his throat was trembling slightly.
"What has happened?" Tantai Mingyue was a little confused by her father's confused question.
No matter how smart she is, she is just an inexperienced girl, and she cannot understand the true intentions of lp who hesitate to speak but hide behind her words.
"It's a matter of human relations!" Tantai Yunshu stomped his feet, biting his back molars and almost growling.
"Ah?" No matter how generous Tantai Mingyue was, she couldn't help but blush when her father asked him an almost straightforward question.
But Tang Dao's strong chest appeared in her mind. Because she took care of Tang Dao who was in a coma, she had seen almost everything about Tang Dao. Does this count?
When he saw his daughter being asked this question, her face turned red like clouds in the sky, almost giving Lao Tantai a heart attack.
"You, you, you are really pissing me off. If your mother-in-law knew about it, she would be pissed off too." Lao Tantai's eyes were filled with stars, and his little tongue trembled so much that he made a trill.
It's just that before he leaves the cabinet. For the extremely traditional Tantai Yunshu, the cliff is unacceptable.
If someone handed him a gun at this time, he could kill Tang Dao with one shot from the cliff, who had jumped off his horse and was greeting Lei Xiong and others, waiting for his father and daughter.
There is murderous intent!
Tang Dao felt a chill spread down his spine.
He looked around in confusion, he was all his own soldiers, who wanted to kill him? This is unreasonable.
Ming Xin, who was standing behind him, could not help but frown. He could feel the extremely strong murderous intent, although it was not directed at him.
The muscles in his back were slightly tightened. There were so many armed guards around him, and yet there were still people with murderous intentions. He must be a super master.
A certain 'super master''s eyes erupted with scorching anger, and just as he roared, he turned around and chased after the bastard who had harmed his daughter's innocence.
"Dad, what are you talking about? Although he and I really love each other, he is busy with military affairs and I am responsible for taking care of the wounded. We have not seen each other alone for more than a month. Then," Tantai Mingyue retorted angrily.
old father.
The murderous intention suddenly disappeared.
Ming Xin was a little confused.
He was about to locate the source of murderous intent, but he didn't even say yes. The strength of this great master actually exceeded his imagination.
Within the Four Elements Group, it can be said that there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers!
"Good girl, you can't lie to me, father!" Tantai Yunshu's expression softened a lot.
"If you still don't believe it, can I accompany you back home and stay with you and Eminem for the rest of your life?" Tantai Mingyue replied angrily.
"That's what I'm wrong about. It would be fine if I didn't have it, it would be fine if I didn't have it!" Tantai Yun Shu smiled happily.
The stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. He knew that his daughter might be a little stubborn, but she would never deceive him on such an important matter.
Tantai Yunshu, who was in a good mood, came over and greeted the officers of the Four Elements Regiment who came to greet him one by one. He was extremely satisfied with the high standard of reception given to him by the Four Elements Regiment.
China has valued etiquette since ancient times. Last time, Tantai Yunshu came in a hurry and was stopped by the guards for a long time. This time, however, he was greeted by a group of named officers from the Four Elements Regiment. This also reflected the hero of his daughter in the Four Elements Regiment.
Lao Tantai's status in the regiment did not mean that he was radiant.
For the officers and soldiers of the Sixings Regiment, they were even more excited. When they saw the commander bringing back so many supplies, including rice, noodles and bacon, they already felt full of happiness. Unexpectedly, Tang Dao returned them.
Everyone brought greater joy.
"Second order, our regiment has enough funds. Tonight, the munitions department of the General Staff will check the amount of pensions, rewards and other amounts based on the registered military merits and the list of disabled and sacrificed officers and soldiers. Tomorrow morning, together with last month's military pay, they will be distributed." Tang Daoyi
When I returned to the regiment headquarters, I issued this order.
When each battalion and company received the message, the entire camp burst into cheers.
Although these soldiers who followed Tang Dao in several bloody battles have never doubted Tang Dao's credibility, putting money in the regiment and putting money in their own pockets are completely different concepts. The latter is not only more reassuring, but also puts money in their own pockets.
More importantly, they can take the money home when the time is right.
After all, the relatives at home are still waiting for the rice to come out of the pot, and they are still waiting for news about them. Whether they are dead or alive, they must give them a message.
"In addition, inform all battalions and companies that we will have extra meals tonight. Each person will have a bowl of rice, two steamed buns, and a bowl of meat. After tonight, we will go to collect equipment tomorrow, and the whole regiment will prepare for a long march.
"Tang Dao issued the second military order.
The temporary residence of the Four Elements Group was filled with laughter and laughter again.
Although the whole regiment is about to set off, aiming to the north, which means marching 70 miles every day for at least a month. The comfortable days of training for several days in a row will never be the same again. It is the bounden duty of a soldier to execute military orders, and no one is afraid of it.
that.
On the battlefield, eating a few bites of baked potatoes is not the same as working as a Japanese soldier for a day?
Compared to that, with rice, steamed buns and meat, it is simply heaven.
The officers and soldiers were enjoying their rare last leisure time, but the officers headed by Tang Dao could not take any time off.
The Munitions Department needs to calculate various bonuses and pensions for more than 2,000 people in the regiment according to Tang Dao's requirements. Although there were data before, in order to be more accurate and prevent the officers and soldiers from having opinions, there are also collective rewards for each company, platoon, and squad before the reorganization.
, there must be no error in these data.
The six people in the Munitions Department under the General Staff Department, from captain to sergeant, were all extremely busy. For this reason, Zhuang Shisan also specially sent all the officers with some arithmetic skills in the regiment to help. Even Abacus, who had been promoted to deputy platoon elder, was
Transfer away.
Throughout the night, the two small rooms of the Munitions Department were brightly lit, and personnel kept walking in and out to check each other's statistics.
In addition to the busy munitions office, other ministries are also busy. They will go to collect equipment tomorrow, and the first one to bear the brunt is the baggage company.
Now the baggage company is the well-deserved first company of the Four Lines Regiment.
Tang Dao purchased 300 pack horses, 100 carts and 100 grooms from Xuzhou. Except for the 100 pack horses and 20 carts which were allocated to two artillery companies, the rest were given to the baggage company.
In addition to these, Tang Dao also brought 500 new soldiers.
The 500 refugees who were still living under the Xuzhou City Wall a few days ago had just filled their stomachs and regained some strength in the past two days, otherwise they would not have been able to walk the 90-kilometer long road from Xuzhou City to the station.
Even so, as soon as they arrived at the station, 500 recruits lay down for 480. Their bodies, which were extremely weak due to malnutrition due to long-term hunger, could persist in walking 90 kilometers in a day and a half, which was already considered good.
But this means that this batch of new recruits cannot be put to use quickly at all, and the baggage company has to recruit experienced veterans to lead them, thus ensuring that they can keep up with the large army and not fall behind.
Zhu Heicheng, the commander of the baggage company, became anxious at that time and went directly to the regiment headquarters to complain to Tang Dao.
"The 500 recruits all belong to your supply company. They are the personnel specially prepared for this equipment transportation. If they are not physically strong enough, then give them more nutrition. In addition to the prescribed food, each person will be given half a tael of sugar and two taels of bacon every day.
I guarantee that in half a month they will all be strong and good young men." After hearing the complaint of the baggage company commander, Tang Dao did not criticize him too much and immediately gave him support.
"In addition, divide them into three recruit companies. Each recruit company's company commander, platoon leader, and squad leader will be sent by the guard company to serve as platoon leader, squad leader, and veteran. They will be responsible for organizing the queues and marching. If your company needs anything,
If you want to transport them, you can notify the recruit company to help them. After they gradually adapt to military life, they can all be handed over to your baggage company. Is this okay?"
Tang Dao already understood what he meant. They are soldiers of your baggage company, but they don’t need to deploy manpower from your baggage company to manage them. If there is work, they can help your baggage company. If they still complain, it will be shameless.
.
This means that the baggage company is about to receive the equipment transportation task. The equipment of a reorganized regiment, even if Tang Dao purchases pack horses and carts to increase the transportation capacity by dozens of tons, has exceeded the current limit of the baggage company. Tang Dao knows their
Difficulties.
Normally, with Tang Dao's temperament, the lieutenant who had just been promoted to acting baggage company commander would have had a good meal.
What kind of group are soldiers? They have to go up if there are conditions, and even if there are no conditions, they have to create conditions. So why are they crying and asking for support from their superiors before they have done anything?
Zhuheicheng received support from Tang Dao and finally returned to the base.
Little did he know that the following time would be one of the most glorious moments in his life.
The Northeastern Army has the equipment of eight reorganized divisions in its secret arms warehouse outside Xuzhou City. Just using trains would require several trains.
However, the Four Troops Regiment had to rely on hundreds of pack horses and more than a hundred carts to transport the equipment of a reorganized regiment. This did not include the re-equipment of the entire Four Troops Regiment.
Commander Tang Da would not just throw away the old weapons that had been replaced. He would also take them over there as gifts!
Even though the rifling of the batch of old Hanyang-made weapons carried by the Sichuan Army was polished, the troops that had entered the mountains to fight guerrillas with the Japanese had many non-main force troops with four people per gun, and each gun was equipped with more than a dozen bullets.
Just fight with the Japanese!
Not to mention the pack horses, the transport capacity of the carts was stretched to the limit. Even he, the baggage company commander, had been carrying two rifles plus the standard box cannon at the company commander level for a long time, and he also carried the quilt used for marching.
The soldier's weight exceeds 30 kilograms.
The men were so busy that Tang Dao, Lei Xiong and others certainly couldn't take any time off.
Tang Dao convened a military meeting between the chief officers of the regiment, the commanders of the three infantry battalions and the chief officers of several directly affiliated companies to formulate the marching route of the whole regiment.
Although the war has not yet started, the march must not be ignored, especially since the Fourth Army Regiment not only brings students but also a large amount of ordnance and equipment. If it is discovered by the Japanese aerial reconnaissance and a large number of fighter planes are attracted to bomb, with the current air defense force of the Fifth Theater
, but it won’t be of any help to them.
All the equipment of Cheng Tietshou's 2nd Artillery Company was not in place yet, but the Four Lines of Heavy Machine Gun Regiment were still in need, especially since the equipment was about to be replenished from the secret arms warehouse. Tang Dao decided that the 2nd Artillery Company would temporarily serve as an air defense company.
.
The 2nd Artillery Company will be equipped with 2 machine guns and 12 heavy machine guns. If there are machine guns in the supplementary munitions, all 2nd Artillery Company will also be equipped with the 2nd Artillery Company. The rest, such as the 37mm combat anti-aircraft guns and direct-aimed guns for armor and fixed fortifications, will be temporarily mothballed.
Transported by baggage train.
Tang Dao took the initiative to confess what Tang Dao had caused in Xuzhou City. Lei Xiong, who had been in the old army for a long time, immediately became vigilant.
He knew the psychology of those who belonged to the direct line of generals. Even though the Four Elements Regiment was given the title of the battlefield it had fought in, and it represented the name of the elite in the army, in the eyes of the principal's disciples, they were still a no-name army.
One piece.
Facing the motley crew that dared to challenge them, they were much more courageous than they imagined.
At Lei Xiong's suggestion, the newly established cavalry company was given the reconnaissance function and would advance 6 kilometers ahead of the main force of the entire Fourth Army Regiment. Tang Dao was more decisive than Lei Xiong, not only placing the North March Order stamped with the seal of the 43rd Army Headquarters
They were given military orders to take the lead in firing to defend against the enemy.
If you meet other troops who are interrogating you at checkpoints, just show them the military orders. If you need a war zone pass, the regiment headquarters will send someone to negotiate.
If you encounter members of the 20th Army Corps, you must be more vigilant. Except for the negotiating personnel, the rest of the personnel should stay at least 100 meters away. If the other party has evil intentions, you can take the lead in launching a counterattack.
Tang Dao will never waste a warrior's precious life in vain, no matter who the opponent is.
After leaving the Xuzhou war zone and entering Henan Province, we should not relax our vigilance. The Japanese army had already launched an attack on Henan Province. The battle situation was changing rapidly. The Fourth Army Regiment was not well-informed during the march. No one knew what area the Japanese army had attacked.
The four-line regiment is completely a combat-type marching column.
With the cavalry company as the arrowhead, the 1st and 2nd Infantry Battalions are the vanguard, located at the forefront of the entire march. The 1st Artillery Company is protected by the 3rd Infantry Battalion and moves forward. The Secret Service Company and Regiment Headquarters are in the middle. The special operations squadron personnel have not yet been formed.
With sufficient combat capability, they will not go on missions for the time being and will advance with the regiment. The guard company will be at the rear of the entire army. If there is a battle situation, the entire army will immediately go into battle.
"This long-distance march is the first since our regiment was formed, and the situation is complicated. There are troops who are at odds with our regiment, and there are also invading Japanese invaders. The commanders of each battalion, company, and unit must remind their officers and soldiers to maintain
Be vigilant enough to keep your gun away from you and your bullets away from people." Tang Dao glanced at his officers, stood up and set the tone for the march.
"If there are serious casualties due to laziness, then everyone here is the first responsible person. The military law of the Military Law Office is not a decoration. Do you all understand?"
"Understood! Please rest assured, sir!" All the officers stood up in unison to express their stance.
"Meeting adjourned!" Tang Dao looked at his watch and saw that it was already nighttime. He immediately waved his hand to end the two-hour military meeting.
The officers left quickly.
If nothing else goes wrong, they will set off tomorrow. They all have to go back to their respective battalions and companies to hold a meeting to inform the regiment's decision. Then they have time to grind here. Not to mention that Tang Dao didn't keep them for dinner. Even if they stayed, they couldn't stay any longer.
.
Erya ran in quickly and whispered in Tang Dao's ear.
Tang Dao's face turned bitter, and he quickly called to Zhuang Shisan, who was about to leave, "Old Zhuang, you don't have to go to the meeting, let's have dinner together!"
Zhuang Shisan was about to agree when he suddenly glanced outside the door and saw a tall and straight man who had tidied up neatly walking in from the courtyard door with a high head. He refused with a busy smile: "You can eat the group meal yourself! I
There are dozens of people in four places at the General Staff, and there are also quite a few old soldiers. I dare not ignore them. Besides, I have to see how the statistics on rewards and pensions are at the Munitions Department."
After saying that, before Tang Dao could say anything, he almost ran away.
Damn it! There is no brotherly loyalty! Tang Dao looked at the speed at which this guy was running away, and of course he knew why.
A certain old man is here!
Judging from the posture of a dragon and a tiger, Jubi is not as simple as coming to his future son-in-law to talk about life and ideals.
It is possible to praise Tang Dao, but it belongs to Tang Dao. If he wants to scold him, then he, the Chief of Staff, will have to stay here next to Tang Dao. Only fools stay here. Chief of Staff Zhuang is a clever little guy.
Of course, Tang Dao didn't know what he was doing here at this hour! But Erya Ke, who already had a certain level of observation, told him that Lao Tantai didn't seem to be in a good mood.
Tang Dao, who felt a little guilty, wanted to keep him here. No matter how unhappy the old man was, he would not start a fight in front of his subordinates.
Tantai Yunshu, who is extremely traditional at heart, has a great face, and Tang Dao can still grasp this point.
No matter how fast Ren Tang Dao's head turned, he didn't know how he had offended the old man. From the cold snort of the old man outside the hospital and the greetings to the officers who were eager to leave, it was clear that the middle-aged and elderly handsome man was in a bad mood.
How beautiful.
