"Very good!" Tang Dao, whose face was filled with frost, smiled.
Smile extremely brightly.
Because, no matter what era he was in, he had such a group of comrades who chose to stand side by side with him.
Fearless of life and death!
He is not alone, even if he falls into the extremely cold abyss of death.
"I'm really happy. I'm glad that you made the same choice as me. I think you also understand that you may die by making this choice, but I am even more proud of you! I am proud that you have become the most beautiful people of this era."
"Before we go to our respective battlefields, the most beautiful of you, please accept my salute!" Tang Dao raised his right hand and solemnly saluted everyone present.
"Return the favor!" Lei Xiong roared in a low voice.
At this moment, this equally outstanding soldier finally understood why Tang Dao could be the highest commander of the army in front of him, and he was just his deputy. It was not the so-called difference in personal force value, but that Tang Dao had a certain kind in his heart.
It belongs to the temperament of a soldier, the temperament of a Chinese soldier.
Tang Dao can rely on his brilliant military exploits and return to the battlefield with the two lieutenant generals who admire him very much. He has military exploits, appreciation from his superiors, and a colonel rank that is extremely enviable by others. It may not take long.
You will move up a level and reach a level that many soldiers cannot reach in their lifetime.
But Tang Dao gave up and chose a road with almost no return. What a state of mind! But maybe, this is what a real soldier looks like! It is his honor to become a comrade with such a person.
"Whoa!" All the officers and soldiers present raised their hands to return the salute to their commander.
Perhaps what Lei Xiong thought, these ordinary soldiers also have the same sense of pride.
The commander and his soldiers looked at each other silently, paying the highest military tribute.
Before the war came, this was the last time that the more than 2,000 officers and soldiers present and their top commander exchanged military salutes.
It’s not just that military ranks are no longer worn on the battlefield.
Rather, no one knows whether the person saluting will still be alive.
The sunshine is really warm today!
It's so warm that it makes your eyes feel hot.
Little did they know that Tantai Mingyue and several female nurses standing at the highest point of the mountain range had already burst into tears.
This is their brother, who goes to the battlefield without hesitation for the sake of them behind him.
They are proud of them.
"All company commander-level officers will stay, and the rest of the army will return to their respective temporary stations and stand by!" Tang Dao lowered his arm and ordered.
Each company was led away by the deputy company commander, leaving only a group of company commanders gathered around.
Most of the officers had serious expressions on their faces. They knew that Tang Dao's gathering of everyone to lecture and boost morale just now was just a prelude, and now was the moment that truly decided everyone's fate.
Three highlands require troops to be stationed.
Any highland may become the second largest village in Jiepai Village.
"Because the 145th Division suffered heavy losses in Jiepai Village and cannot afford to fight anymore, this battle will be led by our Independent Battalion and the Shameless Regiment. Two infantry companies are needed on Highland 1, two infantry companies are needed on Highland 2, and two infantry companies are needed on Highland 3.
The two infantry companies, the first batch to enter the position will need to hold the Japanese for at least two days, and they will not change defenses until tomorrow night, because we only have 13 infantry companies in total." Tang Dao pointed at the hilltop behind him and went straight in, his eyes bright.
Look at these lieutenants, captains and company commanders.
"I need the bravest among you. Only bravery can block the first two most ferocious attacks of the Japanese army."
"Sir, our independent battalion's 1st company is requesting a fight! We are stationed at Highland No. 1!" Leng Feng did not hesitate.
"Sir, our Second Company of the Independent Battalion is requesting a fight! We are stationed at Highland No. 1!" Li Jijin was not to be outdone.
"I am the 3rd Company of the Independent Battalion, please fight!"
"I am the 4th Company of the Independent Battalion, please fight!"
"I avenge the 1st Battalion and 2nd Company, please fight!"
Almost at the same time, Qian Dazhu, Zhao Daqiang and a second lieutenant from the Sichuan Army stepped forward.
Needless to say, the four company commanders of the Independent Battalion were all the best grassroots officers personally promoted by Tang Dao. Whether it was their fearless will on the battlefield or their obedience to military orders, they ensured that they stood up immediately.
However, Tang Dao was slightly surprised that a company commander of the Avenging Regiment had such a resolute attitude.
After a closer look, it turned out that the second lieutenant who stood up was a company commander promoted by Tang Dao himself after the Battle of Jiepai yesterday evening. He was also the only infantry platoon that was still on the position when Tang Dao arrived at the left battlefield of Jiepai Village.
Platoon leader.
"Avenge the 1st Battalion and 1st Company, please fight!" After a slight hesitation, another captain and company commander also came out.
"Please fight!"
"All members of the Avenging Group, please fight!"
...
In the end, the three Sichuan Army majors and their subordinates finally stood up after hesitating for a few seconds.
They are not ordinary soldiers, and they will not be easily carried away by Tang Dao's speech about his family and country.
Every decision they make is related to the life and death of the brothers who live with them day and night.
The stakes were so high that it was absolutely impossible for them and the officers of the Independent Battalion to follow Tang Dao so resolutely.
The fact that they were able to finally make a decision in nearly ten seconds was due to Tang Dao's words that moved them and the fact that the Japanese pursuers were right in front of them.
Although Tang Dao still had some words to say, for example, as the colonel and battalion commander, he was also responsible for supervising the entire defense area, but his power of decisively killing the colonel commander yesterday with one shot was something no one dared to forget.
An army colonel with the background of a group army general and deputy commander will kill as many as he wants. What will happen if majors and captains like them dare to disobey military orders? You can imagine what will happen if you take the heel.
"Very good!" Tang Dao glanced at the other officers of the Sichuan Army who had overcome his hesitation. "Everyone here today, your descendants should be proud of you."
"Order!" Tang Dao's face suddenly became serious.
All the officers couldn't help but hold their breath and stand up straight.
"The Mouse Mountain Battlefield Joint Command was established, with Division Commander Rao as the supreme commander, Brigadier Tong as the second commander, and an operations department under it. Colonel Tang Dao served as the director of the operations department, and Lieutenant Colonel Lei Xiong served as the deputy director of the operations department!"
"The 1st Company of the Independent Battalion, the 1st Company of the 1st Battalion of Avenge, and the 1st Platoon of the Fire Support Company of the Independent Battalion are stationed on Highland 1!"
"The 4th Company of the Independent Battalion, the 2nd Company of the 2nd Battalion of Avenge, and the 2nd Platoon of the Fire Support Company of the Independent Battalion are stationed on Highland 2!"
"Avenge the 1st Company of the 1st Battalion, the 3rd Company of the 3rd Battalion, and the 3rd Platoon of the Fire Support Company of the Independent Battalion, stationed at Highland 3!"
"Yes!" Most of the officers responded in unison.
"That's it. If the army's battalions and companies have any military supplies and personnel replenishment, go to the two deputy battalion commanders Lei, Guo and Chief of Staff Zhuang to solve it." After Tang Dao finished speaking, he waved his hand to indicate that the military meeting was over.
He himself waved and called Erya over.
Nearly twenty officers had not had time to disperse.
"Sir! Where is my 3rd company going? Don't let our 3rd company pull you down! I can't explain it to my brothers!" Qian Dazhu was stunned and shook his head in disbelief.
"Yes! Sir, where is my 2nd company? Who is qualified to let my 2nd company be a reserve team?" Li Jijin probably didn't expect that he would be a reserve team one day.
Those idiots, these lunatics from the Independent Battalion! Several infantry company commanders of the Sichuan Army who had not heard their serial numbers breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. At the same time, they were really shocked by several infantry company commanders from the Independent Battalion.
Living.
If these people who responded to Tang Dao's questions immediately before were just an attitude or taking sides, then now, the performance of the middle-aged uncle and the young man has fully proved that they are true
There is no point in thinking about going to the battlefield.
Sure enough, it was the mad colonel leading a bunch of mad brothers!
"Li Jijin, what are you talking about? Why are you insulting your 2nd company by being a reserve for my 1st company?" Leng Feng was unhappy, glanced sideways at Li Jijin, and snorted coldly.
"Hey, Captain Leng, don't be angry, I, Old Li, didn't say what you meant." Li Jijin hurriedly put on a smiling face.
Not to mention that Leng Feng was his old commander, but his body of flesh and tendons was not something that Old Li could match. A good man would not suffer the consequences of his immediate losses. This was something Captain Li knew very well.
Zhao Daqiang twitched his lips in dissatisfaction, but in the end he didn't say anything. After all, he knew that Li Jijin was not targeting him.
Only a few Sichuan Army majors looked a little embarrassed, but he knew who this ruffian-faced veteran Youzi Infantry Company Commander was referring to.
"Captain Li, if you want to say this, brother, I have nothing to say now, so let's read the real seal on the battlefield and see if my brothers and I have the qualifications." The second lieutenant of the Sichuan Army was a young man with a stiff neck.
Here comes a sentence.
He had seen the power of Li Jiujin and his second company on the battlefield of Jiepai Village, and he admired them deeply, but this did not mean that Li Jiujin could say that they were not qualified.
The blood of the 20 brothers in his platoon was not in vain, and he had to earn this breath for them.
This is the original intention of the young second lieutenant company commander.
The three majors of the Sichuan Army glared at the stunned young man, telling him not to fight with the infantry company commander who looked like Tang Dao's confidant.
Tell me, will you die or something?
Unexpectedly, Li Jiujin's performance surprised them.
"Ouch! Brother Donglai, it's me. I was so hasty that I spoke out loud. I apologize to the brothers!" Li Jijin was pushed, but he was not furious as the Sichuan Army officers imagined. Instead, he was very polite.
.
Of course they don't know at this time that brave people will only look at people like them.
Li Jijin didn't know what would happen to the other officers and soldiers of the Shameful Regiment on the battlefield, but the officer named Wei Donglai and his subordinates in front of him were definitely worth a high look from Li Jijin.
Facing more than 2,000 enemies, more than 30 Sichuan soldiers with old weapons were trembling in the trenches, but they did not retreat.
This alone is worth it.
"Are you two the commander, or am I the commander? Do I have to explain to each of you my thoughts on the deployment?" Tang Dao, who ordered Erya to record the battle report, turned his head and glared at the two of them.
Questioning officer.
Young Qian Dazhu quickly shut up and stood at attention.
Li Jijin was still licking his face, "Sir, I don't dare! I just want to ask!"
"That's okay. Everyone hasn't had breakfast yet, so let's take this opportunity to have breakfast together. If you have any questions or dissatisfaction, ask now! But if anyone tries to mess with me in the future, don't blame me for military law.
You're so heartless." Of course Tang Dao didn't really get angry. He waved his hand and said casually, "Erya, go notify the cooking team and bring over some flatbread and porridge."
This finally revealed what the two jumping guys had done just now.
He could also take this opportunity to observe more of the Sichuan military colonels and lieutenants.
