Of course, Wu and Guo have been struggling in the murky waters of officialdom for twenty years, and they naturally understand the principle of "taking the horse's peas from the horse, how can you talk nonsense!"
Before the Independent Battalion Headquarters could report their military exploits, all kinds of weapons and ammunition seized from the battlefield were still being loaded here. Over there, the Chief of Staff of the 67th Army came with a bunch of seals signed by Wu, Guo, and Gu.
The sealed certificate and a box of cash arrived.
Now Dayang has given quite a lot, a box must have cost ten thousand yuan. These were all taken away from the inner treasury of the Songjiang County Government when leaving Songjiang.
At the beginning, the bosses were all excited for a while. As the saying goes, if you have money in hand, you don’t need to panic. You can buy supplies along the way or give out rewards to meritorious officers and soldiers.
It was only when they arrived in Jiashan that the big bosses tragically discovered that in this time of war and chaos, money was really not as useful as food. The quartermaster carried a box full of silver and went around the villages and small towns behind the defense line.
Circle, the grain purchased was not enough for two carts.
As for the rewards given to meritorious soldiers, the soldiers are already exhausted carrying guns, grenades, uniforms, and heavy food bags. If we give them the ocean, it will just increase the burden. And what is this thing currently?
Not to mention that they couldn't buy it, the officers and soldiers didn't know when they would die. If they were too tired to carry it with them, they might become trophies of the Japanese that day. Except for a few who were obsessed with money, most of them wanted to take cash.
Willingness is also rapidly fading.
Not to mention the soldiers, even the relief refugees, those who were starving, their eyes lit up when they saw the food. The shiny ocean was not so attractive anymore.
The three big guys discussed it and decided that just a certificate of meritorious service would not fool anyone. Throwing 10,000 yuan over it would be enough to stop Tang Dao's mouth.
As everyone knows, compared to Tang Dao, which has no shortage of equipment, the Japanese army's light firearms, guns and ammunition are far less practical than the seemingly useless modern weapons.
Because after that, the whole army mainly just ran away and ran away again, but not many battles were fought.
Of course Tang Dao wanted to save Jinling, who was about to face a huge disaster. He even took the huge risk of exposing his origins two days ago and talked with Tantai Mingyue for half a night, talking about the disaster that Jinling was about to face in the future.
In the eyes of the second-class Niu people who were responsible for protecting them, the man and woman were sitting in the trench under the moon talking to each other. They would know that Tang Dao was speaking in an extremely serious manner about the heart-wrenching disaster that the big city was about to suffer.
suffering.
Tang Dao knew that in terms of military matters, although he was now an army colonel commanding nearly a thousand people and had a certain influence on two army lieutenant generals commanding an army of 20,000 people, facing the dispatch of up to seven divisions of infantry and
The strength of the Japanese in both fleets and navies is still as weak as a piece of paper.
Even if they knew the inevitability of history in advance and were willing to live and die with this city, they would just become a series of enemy annihilation figures on the Japanese army's battle report.
The truth is cruel, but what is even more cruel is knowing the truth but having to watch it happen. For a man and woman under the moonlight, they must have a strength that is unimaginable by ordinary people.
History has proven that those at the top of the pyramid are incompetent. Tang Dao knows that it is useless to look for them. If he wants to change something, he must rely on the power of the people.
Tang Dao hoped to use Tantai Mingyue's influence in the newspaper to tell those people who were unwilling to evacuate what was waiting for them.
Now the 18th Division is still firmly blocked by the Jiashan defense line. Jiaxing and Guangde, Xuancheng and Wuhu have not yet been lost. The people in Jinling City still have time to evacuate through the north bank of the Yangtze River to Jiujiang, Jiangxia and other cities in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.
Otherwise, when the Japanese army captures Wuhu, no one in Jinling will be able to escape, especially after that stupid city defense commander ordered all ships to be burned, and no one will be able to cross the Yangtze River and leave that hell.
Tang Dao's tragic prophecy about the future will undoubtedly shock people to the point of being unbelievable. I'm afraid the Japanese army themselves won't believe it. The ugliness and ferocity of human nature will certainly not be exposed to the fullest under the protection of military discipline.
But if those who make these rules tell them, you can do it, then the animal nature will of course break out and become a group of devils even more brutal than beasts.
Tantai Mingyue also found it difficult to believe this prophecy, but she still chose to believe in Tang Dao, even though the Japanese army had not shown all their beast-like ferocity to the world so far.
She also understood to some extent why Tang Dao showed no mercy in the face of the Japanese army. No matter whether he knelt down and begged for surrender or was seriously injured and waiting to die, Tang Dao on the battlefield was as indifferent as his name. All he could see was the light of the sword and the shadow of blood.
She hoped that this prophecy would not come true, but she had to do something for those innocent people.
For two consecutive days, she wrote furiously, trying her best to ask the people in Jinling City to leave without causing huge panic.
During the war, even big newspapers could not report as they pleased. Even a well-known war correspondent like Tantai Mingyue would naturally have unimpeded access to her war field diary due to political needs, but she was trying to appeal to the people in Jinling City to evacuate as soon as possible.
The article undoubtedly slapped the authorities in the face.
The frightened editor-in-chief sent her manuscripts back one after another, and earnestly sent text messages to advise her that she should just report on the war on the front line with peace of mind, and that she did not need to worry about appealing to the people at the rear.
Since Tantai Mingyue chose to believe in Tang Dao, how could she give up? If her own newspaper didn't dare to publish it, then she would send it to other newspapers. If other newspapers didn't dare to accept it, she would ask her friends to print leaflets and distribute them in the streets and alleys of Jinling.
Distribute to the public.
Tantai Mingyue has been in a daze for most of the past two days, occupying the radio station of the independent battalion headquarters. If the power generation here is not smooth, then go to the Jiashan headquarters and borrow a higher-power radio station.
Several army lieutenant generals were also frightened by this somewhat crazy reporter. Lieutenant General Wu even sent a message to ask Tang Dao if he had tricked the Tantai reporter and wanted to play the trick of starting chaos and finally giving up.
The past two days have been a bit abnormal. If Tang Dao showed signs of this, then he, Tantai Mingyue's father's best friend, would shed tears and kill Tang Shimei.
Tang Dao only had a bitter look on his face. He couldn't stop Tantai Mingyue's 'devil', because if she didn't, thousands of people would die wailing in hell. Every effort she made,
Perhaps he could save thousands of people, which would be more useful than his desperate efforts on the battlefield.
For Tang Dao, who has decided to leave at this time, this large sum of money is naturally useful. The products in that mountain that spans several provinces are rich, but they are extremely poor. The independent camp that has just arrived in your area has this money.
, how can I say that it can be used to exchange for food, so that we will not be forced to go up to the mountains to hunt and pick wild fruits to maintain military supplies.
As for the certificates, they may seem useless now, but they will come in handy in the future.
Therefore, Tang Dao notified the entire battalion, asking each company-level unit to report the soldiers who performed outstandingly in this battle, and the battalion headquarters would reward them.
Three infantry companies participating in the battle serve as front-line troops. Each company has three first-class merits, five second-class merits, and ten third-class merits; the number of fire support companies, artillery companies, baggage companies, and special agent companies is reduced by half;
The fourth company led by Zhao Daqiang was far away from the battlefield because they originally planned to be chased by the Japanese army. They were used as surprise troops to give the Japanese a heavy blow, and Tang Dao had not been able to endure the possible reinforcements from the Japanese army.
With this surprise force, they didn't have time to participate in any battle, so they had no choice but to give up.
In this regard, Tang Dao will not act like a big pot, even if it is a useless military merit certificate, it will be awarded based on the actual situation.
Corresponding certificates will be issued for first, second, and third-class merit. In addition, first-class merit is 10 yuan, second-class merit is 8 yuan, and third-class merit is 5 yuan. If you find it inconvenient to carry it, you can leave it to the baggage company of the battalion headquarters.
Transportation, even if someone dies in battle in the future, as long as the independent battalion is still there, it will be distributed to each person's home according to the address registered on each person's roster.
At least half of the people chose this method, which was undoubtedly their trust in Tang Dao and the newly established independent battalion.
Among them was Yang Bicheng, who had just been awarded first-class merit. This former coward was impressive. One person killed a Japanese sergeant and four Japanese infantrymen. The number of enemies killed alone was higher than most people.
, and he also took the lead when the charge order was given. He was very brave and not a coward. This first-class merit was well deserved.
Everyone thought that this guy whose eyes would turn red whenever he thought of his brothers would burst into tears.
Tears are his label! Whether it is because of bravery or cowardice.
But this time, the 'coward' who received the first-class merit certificate did not cry, only his eyes were still red.
A man knelt in a corner of the position and kowtowed six times to the north.
That was what he was doing to his aunt on behalf of his five brothers who had died in the war. He was not qualified before, but now, he finally dared.
If you dare to tell your aunt that your nephew can avenge you, just close your eyes!
