"Little brat, where are you from? Do you know how to use a gun?" Standing outside the woods, Erya looked at the young soldier with two shell guns hanging on his body, feeling a little unhappy and a little curious.
Naturally, he was unhappy because the young soldier had taken up the position that originally belonged to him. He was curious! He was less than 1.5 meters tall and hung two shell guns. Who could he scare?
"Don't look down on people, Ala was personally asked by the commander to follow him." Xia Dayu glanced angrily at Erya, who was thin and only a few centimeters taller than himself.
"Are you so awesome? Tell me what skills you have that make the superior take notice of you?" Erya looked at the arrogant boy in a funny way.
"I" Xia Dayu's nose suddenly became sour, and he lowered his head suddenly to cover up his sparkling eyes, but could no longer speak.
He thought of Uncle Crow again.
If it hadn't been for the crow, he knew he wouldn't have survived, and Tang Dao wouldn't have been interested in taking it with him. All of this was brought to him by the man who had turned himself into an arrow and shot at the Japanese.
However, that man who was as firm as a mountain was nowhere to be seen again.
"Why are you still crying! I'm sorry, little brother! I shouldn't have mentioned your sadness." Erya hurriedly handed over the freshly washed towel tied to her belt, her eyes filled with apologies.
The attentive signal soldier was very sensitive to the sadness in the young soldier's heart, and quickly made amends. Naturally, he had no intention of teasing this little guy who had occupied his position.
"It's okay, sir, I will become a soldier like my Uncle Crow sooner or later, the strongest soldier." The young man refused Erya's kindness and wiped his eyes with his sleeves that were somewhat wide and dirty.
Said stubbornly.
"Then tell me about your Uncle Crow, and I will also tell you how the commander led us to fight the Japanese at Sihang Warehouse." Erya said softly.
"Okay!" The young man could feel the kindness released by Erya and replied in a sullen voice.
Tang Dao's two orderlies and communications soldiers got to know each other outside the woods and listened to each other's stories, while Tang Dao also persuaded the two commanders in the woods.
"No! This is absolutely not possible!" Lieutenant General Wu almost roared as he rejected Tang Dao's proposal. "Take the best of the army to bomb the Japanese. Tang Dao, was your head damaged by the shell?"
Lieutenant General Guo, who was standing next to him, was also smoking a cigarette with an ugly expression on his face and said nothing.
Before leaving Songjiang, the two men had already discussed that if the Japanese army sent out reconnaissance planes and the marching position of the large troops was exposed, the Japanese army would definitely send out bombers for bombing.
Although they had already sent a secret order to the theater headquarters in the early morning, informing them that they had withdrawn all troops from Songjiang and were heading towards Kunshan, and requested the Air Force to send fighter planes to cover them, the Air Force suffered huge battle losses and this request was almost useless.
The most effective way is to detach a partial division and continue marching forward, while the main force is temporarily hidden, so that the main force can escape the terrible bombing that is coming from the Japanese planes.
To put it bluntly, the branch that was separated was not even a bait, it was a complete abandonment.
Most of the people exposed to the sight of the Japanese planes will use their lives to protect the remaining people.
This kind of abandoning nature is different from abandoning the wounded, but it is still an extremely cruel choice.
The two generals were in trouble again. Their palms and backs were full of flesh. They were reluctant to send the infantry brigade as a discarded son.
Who would have thought that Tang Dao, this fellow, would come so hurriedly to ask for a fight, and not only would he also bring an air defense battalion, three cavalry battalions, and three guard battalions with him
The Si Xing Battalion and the Guard Battalion are already the elite of the entire army. If we add the Cavalry Battalion, Guard Battalion, and Air Defense Battalion, does that mean that the best of the entire army will be sent to the muzzles of Japanese aircraft?
What did Tang Dao think? He thought he was going to fight the Japanese infantry with bayonets! It would be strange for Lieutenant General Wu not to take the lead.
"Two sirs, listen to me, I don't want to play a duel with Japanese aircraft on the ground." Tang Dao probably didn't expect that his proposal would arouse Lieutenant General Wu so much, so he quickly explained with a grimace.
"I'll give you three minutes, and then get out of here."
"I thought so"
As Tang Dao moved his fingers on the captured Japanese military map and talked about his idea, both the roaring Lieutenant General Wu and the smoking Lieutenant General Guo opened their eyes wide in disbelief.
They finally understood Tang Dao's intention to bring the best of the entire army with him.
When ordinary people play chess, it is extremely powerful to take one move and see two moves, but at this time, Tang Dao has already seen at least five moves.
To say that he is so wise that he is almost a demon is a very modest statement.
However, no matter how smart you are, strength still depends on your strength on the battlefield. If you can't avoid the Japanese bombing, everything will be empty talk.
"Sir, before we implement this plan, we can only bet that our contribution this time will be great enough, that the Tantai reporter's article will be influential enough, and that one of them would rather lose the fighter plane than suffer infamy."
Tang Dao continued. "What's more, even if we lose the bet and the enemy is overt and covert and wants to kill me, I will still tear a piece of flesh off the stubborn Japanese. We may not lose everything."
The two lieutenant generals looked at each other in silence.
They all know that thousands of lives depend on their thoughts.
This suggestion put forward by Tang Dao is extremely risky. If it fails, the entire army will be exhausted. But if it succeeds, it may also completely change the battlefield situation, and the Songjiang army's vitality will increase by 30%.
The Japanese reconnaissance planes have roared away, and a large number of Japanese bombers will arrive at some point. There is no time for them to remain silent.
Three minutes later.
"I order to consist of the Sixing Battalion, the security battalion directly under the Songjiang Headquarters, the guard battalion and cavalry battalion directly under the 107th Division, the guard battalion and cavalry battalion directly under the 108th Division, the guard battalion directly under the 67th Army Military Headquarters, the cavalry battalion, the air defense battalion, and the supply battalion.
The highest commander of the Songjiang Advance Regiment is Lieutenant Colonel Tang Dao, deputy director of the staff department under the Songjiang Command." Lieutenant General Wu said the appointment in one breath. "This order was immediately notified to the entire army. After half an hour, the troop assembly was completed and the entire army returned.
All ministries must obey their orders beforehand, and those who disobey orders will be punished according to wartime military law!"
"Yes!" Tang Dao raised his hand to salute, turned around and left.
He had already convinced the two top commanders to give the retreating troops a chance of survival. Then, he would have to fight for the future and fate of the more than 3,000 people he was about to lead.
"Take care of yourself!"
The two generals looked at Tang Dao's leaving figure and returned the salute in unison.
The busy staff officers around him also stood at attention and saluted along with their commanders.
At this moment, they finally understood why the two commanders valued Tang Dao so much.
It's not how amazing Tang Dao's strategic planning is, nor how powerful his combat power is, but it's that he can always stand up when the army is in the most difficult times.
Even though he knew that he was exchanging his life for his life, he did not hesitate to take his life.
Who wouldn’t like such a subordinate?
Of course, the soldiers with admiration in their eyes did not know that Tang Dao was so willing to sacrifice his life, not only because he himself was an army of China, but also because they, who were performing a military salute, had also sacrificed their lives for this country.
Most of them left their young lives in the surging river ten kilometers away in the past time and space.
You risked your life to earn a piece of sky for us, then I will give you back the sky on behalf of the people who have the freedom to breathe.
that is it!
"I want to go with you too!" Tantai Mingyue chased her out of the woods.
"No!" Tang Dao, who had already greeted the two signal soldiers and was about to leave, narrowed his eyes slightly and shook his head firmly in refusal with a cold face.
Turn around and continue moving forward.
"Ten days ago, you fought against the Japanese troops in the Sixing Warehouse. I watched with my own eyes as the warehouse collapsed and buried the Japanese inside. So I waited for you by the Suzhou River for three days. I didn't even know whether you were dead or alive.
Seven days ago, you fought fiercely with the Japanese army in Cangcheng. I stood on the city wall and watched the artillery fire two miles away. For no other reason, I just wanted to be closer to you. But I knew that it was still too far.
Yes, you are injured, I can't bandage it for you, your brother died in the battle, I can't give you comfort.
Three days ago, you went alone outside the city to kill high-ranking Japanese officials. I could only wait for the news of your return at the headquarters. I have never felt that time would be so slow. I want time to go faster, even if it becomes full soon.
Wrinkled old woman, just let me hear the news of your return.
So this time, I don't want to wait far away from you anymore. That is really an experience more painful than death.
I will follow you. If you die, I will clean your body and bury you well in the soil. If I die, you will do the same to me. When the war is over, you can come and see me more often.
"
Tantai Mingyue raised her head and looked at the back of Tang Dao who was about to leave, and said softly.
There was not a single word 'love' in the beautiful woman's words, but the surging love made the blood of the two signal soldiers standing aside boil with passion.
This may be the first time in her life that a beautiful reporter bravely reveals her true feelings, because another fierce battle is coming.
Only this time, even Tang Dao put his life on the gambling table.
Tantai Mingyue knew that if she didn't say anything, she might never have the chance to say it again.
Tang Dao, who was walking with his back, suddenly stiffened, and couldn't help but feel a little crazy...
ps: My daughter has a half day off today and went to pick her up from school. I was a little late eating out, sorry for that!
