"Captain Tang, I am more than 20 years older than you, so it's not an exaggeration to call you brother!"
Brother, since you are determined to fight decisively, although I am short of soldiers and guns, I will never show off, so I will naturally support you fully.
The command of the Liu Ruzhai Infantry Regiment you want, I can also put it under your command as the commander of the 145th Division, the Guangde Theater War Area Supervisor, but the name of the Tiger Regiment cannot be used! If it is spread, it will be
It will cause an uproar." The Army Lieutenant General said seriously.
In his eyes, Tang Dao is already the best choice in terms of battlefield command and fighting will, but after all, he is still too young and does not understand the distinction between levels.
Now the big boss is extremely sensitive to military power. For example, the Sichuan Army originally had an army of 400,000 people, but during the reorganization last year, in order to prevent the Sichuan Army from becoming too powerful, he only gave the two armies a strength of 200,000 people.
The provincial chairman who unified Sichuan Province also had to take a "curve to save the country" and organized the 100,000 downsized elite soldiers into county security corps. Unexpectedly, the dozens of retained security corps became all-out elites in the war of resistance, but
The Sichuan Army, which suffered heavy losses, was supplemented by the most powerful troops from each department.
This is true for the big guys who have chosen to accept the reorganization, let alone others...
The Ministry of Military and Political Affairs has strict regulations that officers at the rank of colonel must be personally appointed by the boss, and officers above the school level must have a military order issued by the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs.
The appointment of officers is strict, not to mention the establishment of the army. Anyone above the battalion level must be stamped and registered by the Ministry of Military Affairs. Just like the two infantry battalions of Tang Dao and Yao Ziqing, the Four Lines Camp and the Baoshan Camp were named after the locations of their respective bloody battles.
, all were approved only after the big boss personally signed the military order.
If Tang Dao talks like this, he is a member of the Tiger Regiment. No matter how good he is at fighting, he will arouse the suspicion of the big bosses and implicate the 23rd Army and even the entire Sichuan Army.
"The Tiger Regiment cannot be used. Liu Ruzhai was also killed by me. The original number cannot be used again. Otherwise, if the group army headquarters investigates, it will definitely hinder our army." Tang Dao couldn't help but frowned.
"Yes! Brother, I have thought about this for a long time. With the temper of the deputy commander, if he knew that you had executed his brother-in-law directly, he would definitely be angry with you and me. I am not afraid of him normally, but here
During this war, the lives of thousands of brothers are involved, so we must guard against this." The Army Lieutenant General also nodded.
After pondering for a moment, he suddenly raised his brows, as if he had made up his mind, and said: "There is another way. The Liu Ruzhai regiment has suffered heavy losses in this battle and has basically lost the ability to fight again. Its remaining troops have been temporarily incorporated into your war zone due to wartime needs.
I will sign the military order on the orders of the 145th Division Headquarters. As for when to return to the army, it is up to you, Commander Tang, to decide."
His eyes looked solemnly at Tang Dao, shining with determination: "Even if you keep them, brother, as long as they can serve the country and kill enemies under your command, the entire 145th Division will not cause trouble to you, brother."
As soon as these words came out, Tang Dao felt a little embarrassed.
As the saying goes: Older men are wiser! He knew that the veteran in the army in front of him had seen through his little tricks.
Yes, if Tang Dao wants to have a good showdown with the Guoqi detachment in the mountains of Guangde, with his current independent battalion having less than a thousand men and horses, it will be nothing but an egg against a rock.
Already possessing the heart of a warrior, the Sichuan Army Corps, which had only a thousand soldiers but doubled its combat power, was the army he must win. With a total force of more than 2,000 men, he had the confidence to fight against the Kunisaki Detachment.
But the establishment of this Sichuan Army Corps belongs to the 145th Division. During the previous blocking war, the Sichuan Army Corps could obey him, the director of the operations department of the frontline headquarters. But after this battle, what name does he have to command?
Just relying on the name of a war captain is not enough.
Therefore, Tang Dao played a little trick and took the initiative to add the title of Tiger Regiment to the regiment, hoping that this person would take the initiative to sign a military order and transfer the command to him.
The veteran general in the army had been walking at his own pace, but when he said, "Even if you don't pay back, I won't trouble you," Tang Dao knew that people are so easy to fool,
I have long seen his little thoughts.
That is to say, seeing that he led his troops to stop the regiment and relieve him of the crisis on his flank, I have always been grateful and did not want to expose him.
Regardless of that era, anyone who can occupy a position in the military can be regarded as a proud man of heaven. Are there any simple people?
Seeing the apology flashing in the eyes of his younger brother Tang Dao, the Army Lieutenant General smiled and said: "Brother, don't think that I just used the hypocritical words in the officialdom. If it were someone else, it was just to expand my own strength.
Don't talk about one soldier and one soldier, I don't even understand this kind of rhetoric.
But you, although you and I have only known each other for three days, I know that you are different from those people. Just like those brothers under the leadership of Liu Ruzhai, they were just cowards who abandoned their formation and fled, but under your command, they
Can become a warrior who makes the Japanese army fearful.
Therefore, I am willing to hand them over to you, hoping that you can lead them, inflict heavy losses on the Japanese invaders, and promote the power of our Sichuan Army and the power of China!
Speaking of which, I'm still taking advantage of you, brother. No matter how well you fight in this battle, you still have a share of my 145th Division. As a division commander, I can't push you away even if I want to! I can't do it.
Well, I can even get a Blue Sky and White Sun Medal for free!"
Not only did he give away half of the infantry regiment for nothing, but he even said good things about it. Tang Dao was really grateful.
The three lieutenant generals he met in this era, whether it was the scheming Lieutenant General Guo, the bold and bold Lieutenant General Wu, or this Lieutenant General Rao, each of them had the label of being from the local warlord faction, but they also
They all have a very common characteristic.
That is, they have the courage to deal with the aliens who invade the country's borders without risking their lives.
Maybe they don't want the wealth and power they have worked hard for for many years to be destroyed in one day, or maybe they have their own patriotic feelings. There are many reasons, but there is no doubt that they are the bravest group of people in this era.
Tang Dao is honored to have fought alongside such a group of people.
Seeing that Tang Dao was silent for a long time, the Army Lieutenant General, who was over forty years old, blinked and said in an almost mocking tone: "Brother! If you don't speak, all the ink in my belly will be used up.
I can’t find any words of praise.”
"Haha, Brother Rao, since you have said all that, what else can Tang Dao say? In addition to thanking you, Sichuan Tang Dao can assure you, Brother Rao, that whenever anyone talks about the independence of our 43rd Army in the future,
Camp, there will only be one comment: the people of Sichuan who came out to fight the war have already pledged their lives to the country!"
"Commit yourself to the country!" The army lieutenant general's eyes shone slightly, and he murmured to himself and repeated Tang Dao's words. Suddenly he laughed loudly, stretched out his hand towards Tang Dao and said: "Haha! This is a wonderful word! Our Sichuan army will live up to it.
In the name of the Sichuan Army! Brother, even if you let go and fight, our 145th Division may not be more than a thousand men, but with one person here, we will never let the bandits harass your unit."
"Then why don't I just earn a Blue Sky and White Sun Medal for the 145th Division!" Tang Dao firmly grasped the hand of the generous and heroic Army Lieutenant General in front of him and made a solemn promise.
In the past, this general who died before he left the army had no great military exploits, but he proved his determination to serve the country by risking his own life. He was fully worthy of the highest honor in the military.
