However, Liu Lang's current good mood is still clearly visible.
Although the eight people who died in the battle made Liu Lang feel distressed, as the commander-in-chief of an army, Liu Lang was also gradually maturing. In any war, no one would die.
The independent regiment he had trained previously suffered 60% battle damage. Although his heart was bleeding, he still held on. The lives of thousands of soldiers were exchanged for the deaths of tens of thousands of Japanese invaders. Not only was the brilliant record
It is enough to be recorded in the history of China. More importantly, the spirit of the soldiers and civilians across the country has been enhanced because of their efforts, laying the foundation for desperate resistance in future all-out wars. Their deaths are definitely more important than Mount Tai.
Now, the sacrifice of eight soldiers has resulted in the capture of the Japanese main position. It can be said that the Eighth Division is at the end of its rope and is just waiting for him to take action.
"Sir, should we take advantage of the current geographical advantage of the Third Battalion to attack the two flanks of the Japanese invaders?" Tang Yongming also gradually got used to Liu Lang's casualness, and casually took out a cigarette from the cigarette case in front of Liu Lang,
He lit the fire, took a deep breath, and asked.
"Haha, Old Tang! Have you noticed that the commander of the Eighth Division has been replaced?" Liu Lang did not answer directly, but asked with a smile.
"Their defense and attack styles seem to have changed, but it may also be due to low morale due to repeated defeats! It is impossible for the Kwantung Army headquarters not to know that changing generals before the formation is a taboo for military strategists." Tang Yongming said slightly.
After a pause, he shook his head and said.
"Hey, in addition to Lieutenant General Nishi Giichi, the commander of the 8th Division, there are also Major General Terube Tanibe, Chief of Staff, Major General Kan Nagakawahara of the 16th Brigade, and Major General Matsuda Kunizo, Commander of the 11th Brigade.
"Old Tang, who do you think will replace Xi Yiyi?" Liu Lang smiled faintly and continued to ask.
Of course, the Japanese army themselves would not publicize the death of Nagakawahara Kan. Considering the morale problem, most of the Japanese army did not even know about it. At most, they knew that Major General Nagakawa was seriously injured and was being treated in the hospital. Not to mention Liu Lang and the others.
I know that even the commander of the Kwantung Army, Nobuyoshi Muto, is still in the dark. All the two main brigade commanders of the Eighth Division were killed in the battle. This is not only an indelible shame for the Eighth Division, but also the Kwantung Army.
The Army, a front-level strategic force, will also suffer a huge humiliation.
The news that the unlucky brigade commander is dead is still kept secret, including the seriously injured division commander Nishi Yiichi.
From Liu Lang's unclear expression, it was not difficult for Tang Yongming to see his determination.
"That can only be Tanibe Terube. According to the Japanese army's combat regulations, the Eighth Division Chief of Staff Terube Tanibe is the first person to take over the command." Tang Yongming did not argue with Liu Lang about whether the Japanese army should change generals.
He followed Liu Lang's wishes and expressed his opinion.
"Haha, that's it. The chief of staff is just a staff officer. If he has no experience in leading troops and fighting as a chief officer, he is a scumbag. I would say that our thirty or so artillery observers were almost blinded throughout the afternoon, and they didn't
When I saw the little Jaap push out an infantry cannon and come out to fight hard? I thought the little Jaap was holding back some bad move, which made me worried for a long time, but it was because Terube Tanibe was too indecisive to let go." Liu Lang laughed loudly.
However, this time, Tang Yongming didn't answer.
Who asked him to do the job of the Chief of Staff now? Liu Lang was mocking Tanibe Teru twice for his words, but as someone in the same profession, Chief of Staff Tang felt a little worried at the moment.
Liu Lang was so smart! He immediately realized that with his blow, he not only knocked Tanibe Teru into the gutter, but the Tang counselor he admired had also become a target.
"Hey, Old Tang, you can't be counted as a staff officer. You are the deputy commander, so you can't be counted. I guarantee that in the future, you will become the chief officer of the first army." Liu Lang winked at Tang Yongming with a smirk on his face.
But Tang Yongming heard a different meaning from Liu Lang's joking words. His eyes suddenly lit up, he pondered for a moment, and said seriously: "In this battle group, you can't defeat an army of one brigade and the number of enemies is low."
Wan Jiang drove them back, no, defeated them. This is a glorious achievement that we have never had since the founding of the Republic of China. Our future achievements will definitely be beyond our reach. However, what Yongming respects more is that he is a soldier.
Integrity, what you said: As a soldier, I will fight to the death and never retreat. Yong Ming should always be engraved in my heart and be remembered by me. Just for your words, no matter where Yong Ming is in the future, we will always sit down
With a call, Yongming will surely come."
As expected of a soldier he admired, Liu Lang's eyes flashed with admiration.
Tang Yongming's emotional intelligence was very high. He had just hinted at solicitation, but he heard it and gave the most correct answer. His meaning was also very clear. Liu Lang had a brilliant record in this battle and would definitely do it in the future.
He will become famous, but this is not the reason why he wants to follow him. He is just because he, Liu Lang, is a real soldier, and because he also hopes that he is.
"I believe that I will not let you down." Liu Lang brushed aside the previous joking and solemnly extended his hand to Tang Yongming.
"We must do something for our country and nation. As soldiers, we will do whatever it takes." Tang Yongming stretched out his hand and held Liu Lang's hand tightly.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Men and women hold hands because of the strong secretion of hormones. Two men shake hands warmly because of their common ideals. The spiritual collision is far more exciting than the chemical reactions in some people's bodies.
Of course, things like Longyang have existed since ancient times and will not only exist in the future society.
At least, Zhao Ergou who broke into the headquarters was startled by the two men who were smiling at each other and holding hands tightly. When did the terrifying commander become so "warm and tender"? Isn't that the patent of Major Ji?
Damn it, Major Ji was poached, and why is he a man? Zhao Ergou’s expression was really weird.
Fortunately, Liu Lang didn't know how dirty this guy was, otherwise he might have to kick him out. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Zhao Ergou, do you not have enough shells? Or do you not have enough people in Te Niang?"
Otherwise, would you be willing to come to my place?"
"Sir, from what you said, I, Zhao Ergou, am that kind of person! I just want to come to you to ask for a drink of water." Zhao Ergou defended rather aggrievedly.
"If you have something to say, say it quickly, and if you have something to say, let it go. If you don't tell the truth, I will send all the mortars into the camp. The three battalion commanders will look at each other with blue eyes. Do you know that?" Liu Lang threw it to Zhao Er.
Dog had a cigarette and said angrily.
He still doesn't understand Zhao Ergou's habit of eating more and taking advantage of shameless people? Why can he smile so cheaply if he doesn't want people and things?
However, Liu Lang was really wrong this time. Zhao Ergou was frightened when he saw the two men shaking hands in such an "intimate" manner.
Zhao Ergou was not embarrassed. He held a cigarette in his mouth and lit it up on the kerosene lamp. He said with a playful smile: "It's not that I want credit for the brothers, but our artillery company does not have enough manpower. There are more than a hundred people who have to serve eight people."
The Menshan artillery fired all afternoon and fired a thousand rounds. The brothers were almost exhausted. I heard that Chen Yunfa and the others had recruited dozens of artillerymen from the Northeast Army. How about you allocate them to me? I promise.
When the time comes to distribute the credit, I will never fight for the first-class credit for the brothers, and I will give it all to the infantry brothers."
"Did you see that this bitch not only wants people, but also goes out of his way to reserve first-class merit?" Liu Lang sighed to Tang Yongming.
Some people, even if they don't stick out their buttocks, Liu Lang can tell what shit they poop, such as a two-skinned person like Zhao Ergou.
"Okay, don't bother with those dozens of people. At least now you don't have to. They have other tasks with Mo Xiaomao and Chen Da." Liu Lang ruthlessly rejected Zhao Ergou's idea of asking for people.
Seeing Zhao Ergou's depressed face, Liu Lang could only console his beloved general: "Military merit is not about giving or not. How the artillery brothers are doing is watched by thousands of people in the whole regiment."
In my eyes, although you are not a good company commander, your brothers are doing very well..."
"Okay, sir, I'm relieved by your words." Zhao Ergou's face instantly turned into a smile. "Both officers, continue to strategize, I'll withdraw first."
"Hey, you bitch, that's the last pack." Liu Lang watched sadly as Zhao Ergou took away the pack of cigarettes he put on the table without any shame before leaving.
Tang Yongming laughed loudly. He liked the relatively relaxed atmosphere of the independent group more and more.
