The 60 elite soldiers of his guard company followed Tang Dao out of the city, rushed into the positions of two Japanese infantry squadrons, and killed them wildly. They only lost less than ten people. This was really beyond his expectation.
Originally, he had been prepared for at least half of the time that he would not be able to come back.
The battle losses were small, but the results were extremely rich.
Each returning soldier reported the approximate number of enemy kills. Each of the 12 combat groups killed an average of more than 20 Japanese soldiers. A rough estimate was that they all wiped out a Japanese infantry squadron.
There is no need to verify this, no one will lie about this.
Military merit is useful on ordinary battlefields, but here, no matter how much reward money is given and how high a military rank is promoted, it is of no use.
Perhaps after the First World War, there will be no soldiers left here out of ten. This is what Lieutenant General Wu, who decided to accept the task of blocking the enemy, said when he swore an oath in the wilderness of Jiangnan before heading to Songjiang.
The two lieutenant generals were overjoyed when they heard a call from Tang Dao reporting that the night attack had completely routed two Japanese infantry squadrons and killed a Japanese commander whose rank was unknown.
This kind of active attack to defeat two infantry squadrons and passive defense to kill hundreds of Japanese troops may seem to have the same result, but the meaning is completely different.
This is just like the Great Wall War of Resistance four years ago, which ended with the fall of Rehe Province and was considered a complete defeat. However, the Xifengkou Saber Team’s night attack was still praised throughout the country. They even composed a March of the Saber that was sung by the entire army, turning passivity into initiative.
That's the key.
The Chinese people who keep hearing the news of defeat need such a shot in the arm.
"Tantai reporter, don't worry now!" Comrade Lao Guo looked at Tantai Mingyue, who also had joy on his face, and joked with a smile.
"In this way, I will give you ten minutes to interview the Cangcheng defenders on the phone, and then write a field report about the Cangcheng defense battle and night attack battle. The headquarters will help you send it to the theater headquarters for review, and then deliver it.
Published in various newspapers.
Of course, in exchange, you can also have a two-minute private conversation with Lieutenant Colonel Tang, the supreme commander of the Cangcheng position. How about that?"
"Deal!" Tantai Mingyue was not as gentle and shy as ordinary Jiangnan women, but directly agreed to the Army Lieutenant General's conditions.
"She is a good woman! Let's see if Tang Dao is so lucky." Lieutenant General Guo looked at Tantai Mingyue who disappeared from the command department and sighed slightly.
"My Tantai brother is not an ordinary person, and the daughter he trained is certainly not an ordinary person either." Lieutenant General Wu said with melancholy in his eyes. "It's just this time, but I shouldn't have allowed this girl to come with me.
, I, Mr. Wu, am afraid that I have harmed my old friend’s daughter!”
"Why did the commander-in-chief say this? Tantai Mingyue is a strange woman who came here. You and I should try our best to protect her safety. However, if something cannot be done, the entire army will be in trouble. Fighting for the country is worthy of our hearts.
"It was extremely rare for Lieutenant General Guo to see his resolute colleague suddenly act like a child, so he could only advise like this.
"Haha! I made Brother Guo laugh. I just saw that my descendants have grown up and have people they like. I couldn't help but feel a little sad. It seems that I am getting old!" Lieutenant General Wu is not an ordinary person, so he spoke very quickly.
He adjusted his mentality and smiled.
"Exactly! To be honest, Commander-in-Chief, when I was marching that day, I saw a babbling little kid smiling at me, drooling and toothless, but I had the urge to urge the kid at home to get married and have children as soon as possible!
Later I thought about it, he is only eighteen, at this time he should carry a gun to protect his family and country like his father, how can he be burdened by his family like this?" Lieutenant General Guo also laughed.
"You and I are leading our troops to fight to the death on the front line, don't we just hope that those children can still have a chance to grow up with a smile?" The sadness in Lieutenant General Wu's eyes flashed past, and the look on his face was firm. "Wu's hometown has been occupied. This time
At this time, Wu must try his best to prevent more people's hometown from being occupied by the enemy."
“Each other!”
The two lieutenant generals looked at each other and smiled.
They have different temperaments and different affiliations, but at this moment, their ideals have come together, and their cooperation will undoubtedly become more intimate, and some of the defenses that were originally hidden have almost disappeared.
In the communications department in another room, Tantai Mingyue, who was holding the phone, heard a familiar breathing sound.
Yes, that is the unique breathing sound of Tang Dao, long and powerful.
Just like Tang Dao who picked up the phone, he also heard that it was Tantai Mingyue on the other side.
Otherwise, why the sound of breathing coming from the microphone seemed to freshen the air in the somewhat dull bullet shelter. This was not a strange feeling that those stupid and thick comrades could give.
This is the most wonderful moment when men and women get along.
Needless to say, I know it's you.
The two of them had a tacit understanding and didn't speak. Maybe Tang Dao, a straight man like Tang Dao, didn't know what to say? He told her that he had just had a fight with the Japanese, beat him up and ran back with a bruised face.
?
It doesn't seem right.
Or should he tell her that the pen she gave him was chipped because of his dodge during the battle?
This seems even more wrong.
What are you talking about? Tang Dao, who was as cunning as a fox on the battlefield, suddenly felt numb.
It seems that we can only cope with the ever-changing situation by remaining unchanged and wait for the big reporter to speak first.
The two parties held the phone, nearly a kilometer apart, listening to each other's breathing coming from the phone. There was silence for more than ten seconds. Finally, Tantai Mingyue spoke first: "Are you okay?"
"It's fine! I'm not hurt, don't worry." Tang Dao quickly replied. "Also, the pen you gave me isn't broken either!"
"Pfft!"
"Ahem!"
A group of officers in the Cangcheng temporary headquarters almost choked to death because of the stupid goose-like answer of a certain officer who was so ruthless on the battlefield.
The contrast is so great!
Don't talk about them, Tantai Mingyue rolled her eyes involuntarily, I care about you, what about the pen? Moreover, you focus on the pen, do you have a guilty conscience?
That one will definitely not get better.
Okay! In front of women, men may be exposed at some point.
Especially in front of such a smart woman.
In fact, the conversation between the two was far less than the two minutes given by Lieutenant General Guo. They listened quietly to each other's breathing, exchanged simple greetings, and then got down to business.
Hearing that Tantai Mingyue wanted to interview the Cangcheng defenders, Tang Dao instantly understood the thoughts of the two big guys in Songjiang City.
It can only be said that these two methods are really clever.
Propaganda of achievements is of course important. The results of the night attack operations are not only to inspire the whole city, but also to give a shot in the arm to the Chinese army that is retreating frantically. If we also count the proactive attack during the day, damaging three gunboats and annihilating the Japanese army.
The record of a cavalry squadron is even more impressive.
Although it may seem like a small victory, such a small victory can stabilize the morale of the crumbling army.
During the day, the Songjiang front line had already taken the initiative to attack twice, and achieved considerable gains. However, after reporting to the theater headquarters, they only received verbal commendations and then nothing happened again.
Presumably, it was because the 63rd Army did not enjoy the favor of a certain senior officer that the theater headquarters, which was overwhelmed at this time, actually chose to suppress the two battle reports that were a timely help.
However, at this time, Lieutenant General Wu had used the secret weapon of Tantai Mingyue to cooperate with the victory of the night attack battle, but the general could not suppress him even if he wanted to.
Some constraints come from within. Everyone is a sensible person and knows what the reason is. As long as you don't do it too ugly, it's okay to pretend to be confused. But if it happens again and again, you can't blame others for not being human.
Already.
The 63rd Army was offended, and they directly sent a clear call to broadcast Tantai Mingyue's battle report from the Songjiang front line to the entire army. This was like setting a certain general on fire.
Of course, what gave the two bosses the confidence was Songjiang's outstanding achievements time and time again. Without this, the two army lieutenant generals alone would not have the confidence to dare to fight each other.
Each of them represents not only themselves, nor a division or an army, but a faction, involving tens of thousands of people at least, and hundreds of thousands of people at most.
Adults are not qualified to be willful...
PS: I recommend two more books. My friend's new book "The Golden List of the Great Qin Dynasty: Zulong listened to his heart and exposed me", which is a bit like Lu Feng. Interested book friends can change their taste. There is also a book "Mysterious Resurrection: The Trembling World"
》, is a fanfic about mysterious resurgence. The author is Water Frozen into Ice. It is a suspense novel. Please give me some recommendation votes and collect it. Newbies, please give him some encouragement!
