Chapter 206 The secret mission of Si Xing Camp (2nd update, please subscribe!)
Obviously, the burly man who had only met him for an hour did not regard the famous Lieutenant Colonel Commander of the Sixing Battalion as a treasure like Lieutenant General Guo did.
Even if Lieutenant General Guo handed over three infantry cannons, three rapid-fire cannons, and ten heavy machine guns to this big boss on behalf of Tang Dao, it only made this man look happy and nod his thanks to Tang Dao, but he never mentioned the four.
The name of the camp.
It was as if the Sixing Battalion, which had once gained fame in the battle at Sihang Warehouse, had been completely forgotten by this man.
Finally, Lieutenant General Wu shouted in a low voice to the full audience of lieutenant generals and major generals: "Do you all understand the tasks of each department? If there is anything unclear or doubtful, there is still time to ask questions. In wartime, no matter who it is,
Those who need to act in accordance with military orders and are good at making opinions will be engaged in military law!"
"Yes!" All the generals in the audience stood up and shouted in response.
"Then now, the whole army is committed to the construction of fortifications! When you are tired, you will take turns to repair. You must complete 70% of the progress before tomorrow morning." Lieutenant General Wu turned his attention to his current deputy, Lieutenant General Guo, and saw that he was not there.
He wanted to speak, so he waved his hand to signal the end of the meeting.
The first and probably the last operational meeting of senior generals in the army before the war only lasted an hour. There was not much hypocrisy and politeness, and there was very little wrangling. Most of the time, Lieutenant General Wu was alone.
To be sure, this may also have something to do with the fact that most of the people here are direct subordinates of the supreme commander.
As for the other two auxiliary troops, the 43rd Army only had five infantry companies, and the Songjiang Security Regiment, although it had more than 2,000 people, did not have the rank of major general in Wanggongyu, so naturally they just listened.
Not to mention Tang Dao, who was at the bottom of such a high-level combat meeting. Apart from standing up and saluting the officers when introducing him to the generals of the 67th Army, he was not given a chance to speak at all.
But what Tang Dao didn't expect was that when the meeting was over and everyone was leaving, the first commander, who didn't seem to pay much attention to him, left him alone.
Lieutenant General Guo quietly gave Tang Dao a wink, indicating that Tang Dao could just keep a calm mind and come to him to solve any problems if they found them.
The two sat across the conference table from each other until the iron door of the small building that served as the headquarters conference room slammed shut.
Tang Dao could hear the footsteps outside the door moving away one after another, and then there was another sound of footsteps moving away. It was clearly the sentry guarding the door, and the warning range was at least extended to 30 meters.
Obviously, the resolute boss in front of him who wanted to talk to him alone was not a temporary move, but had been planned for a long time.
However, Tang Dao couldn't think of what he wanted to talk about.
Tang Dao could find the general outline of the development of the war based on past historical trajectories, but this did not mean that he could understand the twists and turns in the heads of these big figures.
What's more, because the man in front of him died early in the battle, history has not introduced much about him. Even many people in the future will not know that such a tragic blocking battle broke out in the small town of Songjiang, let alone that he died like this.
The general.
"Commander Tang, you are very good!" Lieutenant General Wu suddenly said.
"On the train to Songhu, I read the newspaper reporting on your Si Xing Camp. Captain Xie Jinyuan led you and your brothers to fight brilliantly.
But when I say you are very good, it is not because of Four Elements and One Battle. Can you guess why I praise you?"
"Please let me know, sir!" Tang Dao smiled bitterly.
Although there was a vague movement in his heart, as if he had guessed something, but these were irrelevant questions! It was better to let the superiors answer them themselves.
If you guessed wrong, it was "two worms with spring on top". If you guessed correctly, Yang Xiu, a clever guy, seemed to have a bad fate.
"You little guy, you are just like what she said. You are not old, but you are very shrewd." Lieutenant General Wu was good at tapping Tang Dao. "I think you have guessed it all."
Who is he (she)? Tang Dao really couldn't guess this time, but Lieutenant General Wu obviously didn't mean to explain to him, but sighed slightly: "Yes, I said you are very good. Although you are passionate and sincere,
, but he is not the kind of rigid person. He knows that entering the concession is only a dead end, but he will never abide by the so-called military duty like Xie Jinyuan and lead a group of elite troops into a dead end.
I really appreciate your words, I don’t respect stupid orders! Very good, these are the soldiers who really fight for the country. This is a national war, and we, the Chinese sons and daughters, fight for the country, not for a certain person.
Or fight against a certain political force."
Seeing that Tang Dao didn't know how to respond to his praise, Lieutenant General Wu showed a smile on his rather honest round face: "I have a secret mission that cannot be completed unless you and the Four Elements Battalion."
"Sir, please give me instructions. It is our duty as a soldier to kill the enemy and serve the country. However, if you are ordered, our four-line battalion must do our best." Tang Dao's heart moved slightly, but he stood up to express his attitude.
"Okay, I won't go around in circles." Lieutenant General Wu also stood up, his eyes moving on the map of Songhu spread on the table.
From Songjiang, go north until you stop on a river.
Tang Dao had a look of shock on his face.
Because he was sure of this person's thoughts.
Although, even if this person didn't say it, Tang Dao would definitely use his role as deputy director of the staff department to make this suggestion tonight.
"I want you and the Sixing Battalion to guard this bridge for our soldiers on the Songjiang front and guard our last way of survival." Lieutenant General Wu looked at Tang Dao with bright eyes.
"I believe Battalion Commander Tang knows that since Wu Keren and the 67th Army can come south to Songhu, they are not afraid of death. But not being afraid of death is one thing. As a general of an army, I must protect the three men under me.
Ten thousand soldiers will consider..."
"Sir, the Sixing Battalion promises to complete its mission. The entire Songjiang army will not cross the Wusong River for one day. The Sixing Battalion will always guard the Baihegang Bridge and will never let it fall into the control of the Japanese invaders or be blown up." Tang Dao accepted the order with enthusiasm.
This military order actually almost coincides with Tang Dao's plan.
In the past, the 67th Army, which had already suffered heavy losses, had to abandon all its heavy equipment to cross the river because the Baihe Port Bridge was blown up by Japanese planes. The number of people who could not swim drowned was unknown, and the military headquarters was even encountered dozens of detours by the Japanese army.
A plainclothes team of kilometers ambushed the generals, resulting in the death of several generals on the spot.
The bloody battle did not make the 67th Army, the elite of the Northeast Army, surrender, but it suffered such heavy losses during the retreat that it took several years to recover. As a result, the elite of the Northeast Army, which was reduced to the 108th Division, never performed well in the Great Patriotic War.
The criticality of Baihegang Bridge is self-evident.
As for why the lieutenant general did not make such arrangements in time and space but now has such thoughts.
I'm afraid it has something to do with the fact that the little butterfly Tang Dao disturbed the original trajectory of history.
The reason is very simple. To defend Songjiang for three days and nights under the threat of 100,000 Japanese troops without any intention of death is a combat mission that no one can complete. Therefore, both Lieutenant General Guo and this person decisively adopted the method of Tang Dao.
It is recommended that you display a tactical intention of fighting to the death.
But what happens after completing the military order above? Naturally, these two men are not willing to let the whole army die just because of that person's military order, so of course they still have to run away.
But whether you send any unit from the 43rd Army or the 67th Army, there is a risk of leaking secrets.
Think about it! As long as a little bit of news spreads out, and the officers and soldiers who are fighting with the Japanese hear that we can still leave, half of their bloody courage will be exhausted.
The chain reaction caused by that would be serious.
Only the Si Xing Battalion does not belong to the organizational structure of these two armies, and the possibility of leaking secrets is greatly reduced. What's more, the equipment and combat effectiveness of the Si Xing Battalion are second to none among the more than 30,000 armies.
Naturally, Four Elements Camp is the must-choice for this person.
"Do you understand?" Lieutenant General Wu looked at the change in Tang Dao's eyes, knowing that he had figured out the reason, and his tone became relaxed.
"Actually, I have released a company of my guard battalion at the bridge, but the strength is still not enough. I will write a warrant later and they will all be under your control. If you have any other requests, feel free to ask for them."
"I need 12 anti-aircraft machine guns!"
"allow!"
"An infantry company and more than 200 wounded soldiers from the 43rd Army staying at the station will move with the Sixing Battalion!"
"allow!"
"Major Lei Xiong, deputy commander of our Sixing Battalion, will serve as the supreme commander of the Baihe Port Bridge defense."
"Um?"
Obviously, Tang Dao's request was quite beyond the big boss's expectations.
Because, if the deputy battalion commander is the supreme commander, what does Tang Dao, the battalion commander, do?
...........
ps: It’s noon, let me report the results for everyone. The first order in 24 hours is 1,300, which is exactly 300 more than the base of 1,000 first order. You are really stupid. Actually, for a collection of 22,000, the first order of 1,300
It’s not good, it can only be considered average, with mediocre results! Fengyue thanks all the book friends who spent money to subscribe to this book. I’m very grateful and I will try to write more exciting stories in the future. As for the brothers who are still keen on free prostitution,
Just pretend you haven’t seen this passage. There will be another chapter later, which is considered an extra update.
