"What? A military exercise? His regiment is not participating in this battle, so what kind of military exercise is it?" A soldier with two gold stars on his collar looked at the message in front of him in disbelief.
As the chief of staff at the theater level, this experienced soldier quickly caught a different atmosphere.
"Go and check, which army is stationed in the Mangshan Mountain area? Come and report to me immediately!"
Soon, the results were placed in front of the chief of staff of the theater, who suddenly had a head as big as a bucket.
No matter who the two sides are about to clash with each other, they are not going to be on good terms!
This matter was beyond his control.
-At that time, radio waves from the theater headquarters were frequently transmitted. They were messages from the headquarters of the two infantry corps that had rushed to their respective defense lines. They were all about the defense matters of each army. There was not a word about the Si Xing Regiment, but people with a discerning eye could see it.
Everyone knows that, that also tells the commander that they are behind the Four Elements Group and they are by no means someone who can be sacrificed at will!
If Tang Dao's message notifying the war zone of military exercises was not enough to shock the entire war zone, then the sudden movement of the entire army of the Fourth Army Regiment towards Mangshang Mountain made the troops stationed in the mountain feel uneasy.
The entire army of the Four Lines Regiment began to build a lot of construction and construction positions to prevent being attacked. However, the troops stationed in Mangshang Mountain sent out reconnaissance cavalry to closely monitor the members of the Four Lines Regiment. They were afraid that the Four Lines Regiment would run away if they saw that something was wrong.
The infantry division commander who was taken as a confidant by the 20th Army Corps came here under orders. He must make Tang Dao, the tough commander, bow his head. No matter what, they must be blocked in the war zone. Only by forcing him to participate in the war can the big solution be solved.
The hatred in my heart.
As time goes by, the troop inputs of China and Japan have basically been determined. The Japanese army's northern and southern armies have begun to take action. The number of troops mobilized is about 200,000, while the Chinese side has more than 400,000 troops waiting in the war zone. Along the Huaihe River alone,
Nearly 150,000 troops have been invested, and hundreds of thousands more are on the way.
In such a large-scale battle, not to mention an infantry regiment of 2,000 people, even an infantry division is nothing more than cannon fodder. Perhaps only an infantry army with 20,000 to 30,000 troops has some strength to determine its own destiny.
As long as the Four Elements Regiment enters such a battlefield, no matter how good at fighting, the regiment commander surnamed Tang will have no less than ten ways to make them completely wiped out with no possibility of recovery.
Even if he couldn't mobilize the Japanese, he still couldn't send the Four Elements Regiment into the tiger's mouth? Any isolated city could become the grave of the Four Elements Regiment.
Even before making this consideration, the 67th Army and the 59th Army, which the Four Lines Regiment could rely on, also
Taking the same consideration into account, he could completely implement the military orders in the theater in exchange for the commander, and choose between an infantry regiment of 2,000 soldiers and a legion of 60,000 soldiers. He believed that the cunning one would do it without hesitation.
Give the answer.
The first two days of the Four Troops were normal. They did not leave, but they were under pressure and began to build fortifications on the spot. However, on the third day, they behaved unusually.
The whole army broke out of camp and saw that their target was a mountainous area.
What did they want to do? The infantry battalion commander located on the edge of the mountainous area hurriedly reported to the commander. It was already an hour later when he reported to the division commander who was hunting for fun in the mountainous area.
Then, the infantry division commander who hurriedly returned to his temporary headquarters received a clear message from the Si Xing Regiment: "Our unit is about to launch a military exercise, and the coordinates of the artillery attack are the Baima Peak of Mount Mangshang."
"Where is that?" the infantry division commander was obviously confused.
It seems that this is Mount Mangshang.
"That's where the 1st Battalion is stationed. You said you wanted to scare the bastards of the Four Elements Regiment from sleeping. The day before yesterday, you specially asked them to move here from five miles away. It's ten miles away from the Four Elements Regiment's station." The Army Colonel said bitterly.
replied.
"Is Si Xing Regiment crazy? He dares to bombard friendly troops?" The infantry division commander's mind was absolutely buzzing at that moment. "He took the initiative to fire on friendly troops. He Tang Dao will be court-martialed."
None of the surrounding officers dared to speak, because none of them dared to judge whether the Four Lines Regiment was threatening or would actually fire at the designated area they said.
Commander Tang Daotang, whom they had never met, had a history of disobeying his superiors' military orders at Sihang Warehouse. Later, he used fake death to lure most officers of a Japanese infantry regiment into the warehouse and annihilated them all.
over punishment.
Even if it is just a legend, the fact that not long ago on Xuzhou Street, the Tang regiment commander ordered all his soldiers to be decorated with medals and attack the queue of soldiers with live ammunition is still vivid in my mind.
Perhaps, as their senior leader said, Tang Dao is just a lunatic.
As for the madman, do you think he will fire?
No one dares to give an answer to his superior.
"Order your battalion not to retreat even half a step, and stay on the mountain for me. I will see if Tang Dao dares to fire." Seeing that all his subordinates were silent, the infantry division commander who reacted became even more furious and shouted sternly.
Ordered. "In addition, immediately mobilize the artillery battalion. Since they are crazy, let me give these lunatics a ride! You are so spicy, I still don't believe that a small infantry regiment of his can conquer the sky."
"Tang Dao, you can be crazy, but you can control the heat and don't go too crazy. I and your brother Zhang's legs are not that thick, and they can withstand the huge disaster caused by your boy!"
Zhuang Shisan, who had already rushed to the regiment headquarters with the baggage troops, read in a low voice the telegram just sent by the 67th Army Headquarters to the Sixings Regiment.
Lei Xiong and others' hearts sank slightly. It seemed that their last supporter was a little timid!
Only the corners of Tang Dao's lips curled up slightly, and he understood the hidden meaning behind Comrade Wu's words. It was just telling him that since the 20th Army Corps used the rules on the surface to embarrass the Four Elements Regiment, then he and Commander Zhang were not vegetarians either.
If nothing else works, the theater headquarters can still do it by pretending to be deaf and not issuing military orders to prevent him from conducting military exercises.
However, armed intimidation is okay, but if you really want to fight with real swords and guns, you need to be more cautious.
This is enough!
Tang Dao believed that when the shells of the six 150-weight mortars fell in the mountains and forests, the infantry division sent by the 20th Army would be intimidated.
The reason is very simple. The 20th Army has three infantry corps under its jurisdiction. The 13th Army, which participated in the bloody battle at Nankou, is the infantry corps with the best equipment and the strongest combat effectiveness. The commander of the Tang Army is himself Commander Qin Ren, and one of the other two infantry corps is
Guan Linzuo's 52nd Army, and the 85th Army, which was expanded by an infantry division from the 13th Army.
As for the infantry division that came this time, I don’t know whether the 20th Army did not pay attention to the small Four Lines Regiment at all, or whether it felt that it was more important to stop the Japanese army by garrisoning the defense zone. It was not the 13th Army or the 52nd Army, but a subordinate of the 85th Army.
An infantry division, not to mention half of its soldiers were new soldiers, and its heavy firearms were even more impressive.
The entire division is equipped with an artillery battalion, but there are only 4 75mm mountain guns, 4 combat anti-aircraft guns and 4 82mm mortars. With this equipment, it is not much better than the Sichuan Army, which has the "famous reputation" of the Beggar Army.
If they really want to fight, the current heavy firepower of the Four Elements Regiment can beat them to the point of being stunned!
What happened to the large number of people? Tang Dao asked them to see with their own eyes how the small number of people bullied the large number of people. How could the current artillery strength of the Four Lines Regiment be enough to defeat a Japanese infantry regiment?
For the first time on the battlefield, the Four Lines Regiment had a sufficient firepower advantage, but they did not expect that this time the guns would be aimed at their own people.
After two hours of waiting, it’s dusk!
The entire army of the Fourth Army Regiment has arrived at the established position. The 20th Army Corps in the mountains and forests can only lie down uneasily on the simple position under the military order, watching helplessly as the messengers of the Fourth Army Regiment continue to run past a thousand meters away.
No one knew whether the Four Troops were pretending to fight, or whether they really dared to fire.
In other words, not only the members of the 20th Army were waiting, but almost all the generals in the entire theater who were eligible to receive the clear power of the Four Lines Regiment were waiting.
However, most people are silently regretting it in their hearts.
Sorry for Tang Dao!
If this battle were to begin, no matter how great Tang Dao's military exploits were, they would all be wiped out. This army colonel who had just become famous would have his military career cut off, and it would be a pity that he would lose one of his enemy-killing warriors.
As for the bully, it will definitely not be easy for him, but he can definitely use the infantry division commander or even the brigade commander as a scapegoat, but he has much more room for maneuver than Tang Dao.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" accompanied by three red signal bombs rising into the sky.
The two soldiers who were standing in the temporary bunker holding binoculars and looking at the Fourth Line Regiment's position in the distance had their hairs raised.
The Four Elements Group actually came for real.
Must be true.
Pang Panghai and Cheng Tieshou, who were standing on their respective positions and already on standby, looked at the signal flares rising in the sky, their expressions were steely, but they both roared in anger: "Fire!"
