Hearing that Tang Da Tuan was going to sing a love song, the soldiers in the audience were the first to cheer.
As ordinary soldiers, the Commander Tang they saw on the battlefield always had the toughest military image. Although he was very casual and gentle in normal situations, the iron-blooded image on the battlefield was too stubborn in the hearts of the soldiers, which somewhat made them feel uncomfortable. There is still some distance between Tang Dao and ordinary officers and soldiers.
Tang Da Tuanzuo suddenly wanted to sing a love song describing the love between a man and a woman at a party, but it quickly brought this seemingly non-existent but real distance closer. As for how well the song was sung, it didn't matter.
In fact, Tang Dao should have been prepared for this situation. He turned around and handed a piece of music score to the two students who were accompanists.
The Four Lines Troupe's gala was quite large in scale. In fact, except for the rented theater microphones and speakers, which cost some money, the rest, from actors to accompanists, were all our own, and the costumes were basically military uniforms, so they were very frugal.
The so-called accompaniment is nothing more than two students from the student company, and the musical instruments are a bamboo flute and an accordion.
However, both students are masters in this field. Even a bamboo flute, which is not an inconspicuous among traditional Chinese musical instruments, still played the sound of an iron horse in Gu Xishui and Mingxin's first program. That should also be related to this student’s experience of spending more than a month with the Four Elements Troupe. Many viewers voted for Ming Xin’s sword dance, and I’m afraid it has a lot to do with the melodious flute sound.
The accompanist needed to get acquainted with the music score, while Tang Dao walked off the stage to talk to Gong Shaoxun who hurried from outside the venue. The officers and soldiers in the audience were waiting with passion. In order to liven up the atmosphere, an officer began to take the lead in singing.
"Broadsword, chop off the heads of the Japanese!" A company sang a few lines of the popular broadsword song, and then shouted in unison: "Artillery Company 1, here comes one!"
"The wind and clouds are rising, the mountains and rivers are turbulent, the Huangpu Army is building with great momentum, and the revolutionary heroes are loyal!" The challenged 1st Artillery Company was not to be outdone, and shouted the army's military song
The soldiers sang one after another on the field, and the atmosphere was much more lively than watching a play in a theater.
Qian Dazhu took the excited eldest daughter of the Jia family to take photos of the familiar faces he met in the venue. The eldest daughter of the Jia family kept pressing the shutter in excitement to keep the smiling faces of the officers and soldiers in the film. Zhu's young face also smiled like a flower.
Perhaps, this is what young men and women should look like, radiating youth and smiling wantonly under the quiet sky.
Unfortunately, the war changed everything, and there will not be many such days now and in the extremely long time to come.
The melodious sound of the flute and accordion came from the speakers, and the lively sounds gradually lowered until there was no more sound, and Tang Dao's metallic voice spread throughout the audience.
"This song I heard you are in the distance is for all those who have lovers and those who are waiting for their lovers!"
“When I heard that you were there in the distance, I set out to travel thousands of miles.
Chase the scenery along the way and take your breath with it.
It’s really hard to forget the news about you.
Accompany you through the north, south, east and west, and we will never be apart.
Can I love you? I never rest.
Like the wind that has traveled thousands of miles without asking when it will return.
I have blown the wind that you have blown, does this count as an embrace?
I've walked the same path you've walked, does this count as a meeting?
I still like you so much and want to grow old with you.
I still like you just because of your tenderness."
This love song from the future nearly a hundred years in the future does not have many gorgeous words to embellish it. It is simple and catchy. Maybe the times are different, but human emotions are understood.
Especially the phrase "I have blown the wind that you have blown, does this count as an embrace", but it vividly expresses the lingering affection between men and women.
If you love me, the wind you blow can make me feel sweet and fragrant!
Tantai Mingyue on the side of the stage was a little crazy when she heard "I want to grow old with you". Isn't this how she felt when she heard the news about him at the train station, turned around and jumped off the train to follow the 67th Army to the Songjiang front line!
Unexpectedly, Tang Dao actually sang them all in one song. But he never asked about these, and she never took the initiative to talk about them. How did he know?
But that's not important. What's important is that she knows that he knows.
It happened that at this moment, Tang Dao looked over. At that moment, the eyes of the unmarried couple touched each other. There were no more tears, but they smiled at each other, showing the most beautiful look of love.
Tang Dao is a tough guy with a full temperament, but he performed such a tender love song. Despite the huge contrast, it doesn't feel inconsistent.
After the song was sung, the audience was silent for more than ten seconds, and then thunderous applause and cheers broke out!
"Sir, Miss has found a really good uncle! This song is good, Miss will be blessed in the future." Tantai Yunshu was listening to the song with squinted eyes and a stern face as if unmoved, but the old family members around him were indifferent.
said.
"Noisy!" Tantai Yunshu snorted coldly. "That's me having a sharp eye. What does a little girl like her know?"
"Yes, yes, it must be you, sir, who has the foresight to decide on this match right away!" The old man smiled and complimented the middle-aged handsome man.
He has grown up with Tantai Yunshu since he was a child, and is probably the person who knows him best besides Tantai Yunshu's old wife at home. However, he knows what his greatest expectations for his future son-in-law are. He may have achievements and abilities, but
Compared with the deep love for my own little cotton-padded jacket, the rest is nothing.
Although the song "Tang Dao" was sung just now for everyone to listen to, anyone with a discerning eye would know that it was sung by Tang Dao to Tantai Mingyue. As Tantai Mingyue's father, Tantai Yunshu was naturally filled with joy.
.
It's just that this person has always disliked him as much as he liked him in his heart. Due to his personality, he would never show it in any case. Just like when he clearly wanted to help his daughter and son-in-law raise military expenses, but he insisted on calling him "
"Freight fee" is the name of the matter. What's the shipping fee worth twenty to thirty thousand dollars?
Not only people who know Tang Dao can hear it.
"Chief Tang of your Four Elements Group is really amazing. He dares to show his love to his lover through a song in public! But it does not damage the image of his iron-blooded army at all." The eldest lady of the Jia family looked at the people on the stage in the distance.
Tang Dao sighed quietly.
"Sir, didn't you say that you should give this song to everyone present?" Qian Dazhu scratched his head.
"So your Captain Qian is still a bachelor, but your Captain Tang is already a famous man! Do you understand?" Miss Jia rolled her eyes and said angrily.
"Of course I can't compare with our superiors, they are far behind." Qian Dazhu continued to scratch his head.
Miss Jia looked at the young company commander with some worry. If he continued to chat, he would be middle-aged. This fool would be almost bald.
"Fellow folks, thank you very much for coming to the New Year's party of our Fourth Army Group. Now that the party is more than half over, the next program is compiled at the request of the First Theater Command. However, it is not a stage performance, but a need
Everyone present is participating, and everyone is waiting for the hidden air defense exercise in the wild." Tang Dao announced on the stage after singing.
Hearing what Tang Dao said, the people present were stunned. The operation of the Si Xing Group was too wasteful. They even conducted air defense drills during the Chinese New Year.
However, it doesn't matter. I have long heard that the Japanese aircraft are powerful. If you are familiar with how to avoid aircraft bombing in advance, you will not lose a life-saving skill.
Besides, didn't you listen to Commander Tang? This was done at the request of the First Theater Command, which shows that the Japanese offensive is becoming more and more fierce.
The faces of the 'celebrities' who can think of this look a little heavy, which means that their asset transfer and withdrawal must continue to speed up.
However, the officers and soldiers of the Si Xing Regiment probably didn't think so. Although Tang Dao did not issue military orders as usual, the soldier's instinct still made them smell something different.
Recalling that Tang Dao returned from Zhengzhou City, he ordered a two-meter-deep trench to be dug around the town.
Trenches, which completely exceeded the standards of ordinary field battles. And most of the trenches were in the forest rather than in the wilderness, as if the target to be avoided did not come from the ground but from the sky.
It is even more strange that Cheng Tietsou's 2nd Artillery Battery has all disappeared since the military parade.
Perhaps this is not an exercise at all?
Doubts passed through the eyes of many officers, but no one made their suspicions public, because there were nearly ten thousand people at the scene, and it would be terrible if it caused panic and resulted in trampling.
The security force in charge of Gong Shaoxun had obviously anticipated this 'air defense exercise'. After the air defense siren sounded, groups of soldiers with live ammunition came from outside and led the people towards the designated area.
Because it was an air defense exercise, the people did not panic. They followed the soldiers to the trenches dug a kilometer or two away, while discussing the joy of today and their expectations for the upcoming water mat.
Chairman Jia was a smart man. He followed Tang Dao halfway and tugged at the corner of Tang Dao's clothes: "Captain Tang, tell me, is this really an air defense exercise arranged by the theater headquarters?"
Tang Dao looked back at Jia Dongxing, who had a tense face, and smiled slightly: "President Jia, there is no need to worry. Whether it is an air defense exercise or not, this is a New Year's gift from the Four Elements Group to the elders in Zhengzhou's hometown. Since it is the Chinese New Year,
We all have to set off fireworks, right?”
"Ah?" Jia Dongxing's calf almost collapsed and he fell over.
If he was just guessing before, now Tang Dao's meaning is very obvious, the Japanese planes are really going to launch an air raid.
And judging from Tang Dao's expression, it was obvious that he had obtained this information in advance.
When did the Japanese planes not come, but why did they come at this time? Even the Fourth Army Regiment dug thousands of meters of trenches to deal with it. It’s terrifying to think about it!
"President Jia, believe me, this fireworks feast will only be held a few kilometers away from here, and there is no chance to get close to here." Tang Dao supported Jia Dongxing, who was almost frightened, and whispered to him
Said in the ear.
In fact, the truth of the matter is not what the president of the Textile Association imagined. No matter what Tang Dao did, he would not use the lives of his entire regiment of officers and soldiers and nearly 10,000 people as bait to induce Japanese aircraft to attack.
But just because Tang Dao didn't do this, it doesn't mean that some people don't do it.
In this overall situation, Tang Dao at this time is just one of the chess pieces, a stronger chess piece at best.
That afternoon a few days ago, the admiral and commander did not just meet Tang Dao, a handsome young man, on a whim.
Although they only communicated for a few minutes, Tang Dao had a new understanding of this person's boldness and ruthlessness. How could a simple person be a commander of a theater?
In that quiet little hall, Tang Dao passively accepted the arrangement for the first time. The whole audience was crushed, with almost no room for struggle.
"I have received intelligence since five days ago that the Japanese invaders in North China will launch an air attack on our two important places of Kaifeng and Zhengzhou at the beginning of the new year to destroy our business and logistical support and damage our morale!" Commander Cheng said in an almost straight-to-the-point manner.
Tell top secret information.
"What do you mean, sir, is to use this party of our Four Elements Regiment as bait to lure the enemy to attack?" Tang Dao only needed a few seconds to understand what the army general in front of him meant.
"That's right, your four-line regiment made such a big noise. How come the Japanese spies in the city didn't report this important information?" The old man was not surprised at all by Tang Dao's acumen. "It would have been fine if it had been replaced by other troops, but you
The Four Troops are different. You defeated the Kunisaki detachment in the first battle of Guangdoku and severely damaged it. As one of the most senior generals of the Japanese North China Expeditionary Force, Itagaki Seishiro probably dreamed of eating your Tang Dao meat and drinking it from you.
Tang Dao’s blood.”
"Thousands of soldiers and civilians will be used as bait for Japanese planes to bombard you. I believe you, sir, must be prepared!" Tang Dao did not refuse, but asked directly.
Tang Dao knew that in such a situation where hundreds of thousands of troops were fighting fiercely at every turn, let alone him and the Four Elements Group, even the old man in front of him was just a member of the chess game in front of the big boss, but he was not allowed to be left alone.
It's a chess piece that can be chosen at will. If you want to use it as a chess piece, that's fine, but you have to come up with something.
"For this top-secret intelligence, we have sacrificed the lives of three senior intelligence personnel, and two secret intelligence stations in Yanjing City were destroyed. However, this may not be the final loss. On the day when the Japanese fighter planes take off, there will be more
Intelligence has been sent out, and every word we see is written in blood." The old man's face finally showed solemnity.
"In response to this air attack, as soon as I obtained the intelligence, I mobilized anti-aircraft machine guns capable of air defense in the entire theater. Anti-aircraft artillery troops gathered in the two cities. There are currently 64 anti-aircraft machine guns and 32 20mm machine guns.
In addition, I also have an anti-aircraft artillery battalion that retreated from Jinling, now equipped with four SKC/30 88mm anti-aircraft guns!"
"German 88mm anti-aircraft gun?" Tang Dao's face was also moved.
He finally understood why this man was so confident that he would convince him. It turned out that he had such big guys in his hands.
Germany has a developed industry. From the BF109 fighter jets flying in the sky, to the Tiger tanks that were rampant on the ground, to the MG42 machine guns that made the infantry crawl, to the Mauser rifles that shoot accurately, even if it is synonymous with German-made military products, it is not synonymous with high-quality military products.
Too much.
The German 88mm anti-aircraft gun is one of the finest products of the German military industry. This kind of anti-aircraft gun is synonymous with German Krupp cannon technology in this era. It is not only used to fight aircraft, but also has the ability to destroy tanks in World War II with its extraordinary muzzle velocity.
As for the capabilities of any ground armor during the period, actual combat has proven that no tank of that type can withstand a fatal blow from this 88mm anti-aircraft gun at a distance of 1,000 meters.
China, as the financial sponsor of the Germans, imported 16 of these high-performance anti-aircraft guns exactly one year before the war, and went into battle in the Battle of Songhu, with a record of shooting down and damaging more than 20 Japanese fighter planes.
.
Even in the famous naval battle of Jiangyin, the gun sank two Japanese gunboats and damaged more than 10 Japanese ships.
It is not easy to use this cannon to hit Japanese aircraft, but at least it is no longer the same as in the past, where you have to induce the Japanese troops to lower their altitude before focusing the fire. This guy's shells can blow up Japanese aircraft into sieves at an altitude of more than 2,000 meters.
.
"That's right, without such a sharp weapon, how could I kill thousands of soldiers and civilians into the enemy's hands? I will appoint you as the commander-in-chief of this air defense battle code-named 'Destroying Xiao'. If you can shoot down several Japanese planes in one fell swoop, let them
If you are wary of air raiding the important city walls in our rear, then our first theater can devote all its strength to the defense line, instead of leaving so much equipment empty in the rear. Your Tang Dao's combat exploits will be no less than any soldiers in the front!"
The old man stood up for the first time and threw out the bait.
Seeing that Tang Dao did not answer quickly, the old man looked calm and threw a piece of paper to Tang Dao: "This is a secret order from above. The man from the 20th Legion is not a broad-minded person. What he accused you of, even though
There is no actual evidence, but that person is suspicious and asked me to pay close attention to you. If there is any abnormality, I will immediately block the way for your four-pronged regiment to go north, and the Military and Administrative Ministry will re-issue a transfer order for your troops to return to participate in the Battle of Xuzhou!"
Seeing that Tang Dao's face suddenly became solemn, the old man said: "This battle is over, I will let your troops move forward in the first battle zone. No matter where you go, I will just pretend that you are invisible. If your troops need it in the future, as long as I am here
As for the position, you can come and find me."
This is really a good method. Although it does not overwhelm people, it leaves them with no power to resist.
Tang Dao knew that as long as he refused, the road to the north would end here, and he had to be the bait.
"Okay, I fought this battle, but my subordinates have requested that if the performance is acceptable, please add 8 machine guns to our Fourth Line Regiment in the First War Zone!" Tang Dao stood at attention and accepted.
"I can't give you the machine gun. It's the darling of each army. Even if I am the commander of the theater, I can't easily touch it. But I can give you 50,000 ocean military expenses as a reward for the Fourth Army Regiment!" The old man's face twitched slightly.
, a very painful answer.
Both sides entered the bargaining mode directly, and there was not much intrigue and intrigue. For two soldiers, one old and one young, none of that was necessary.
Because both parties have what they want to gain, they must also pay for it.
Tang Dao accepted the offer of 50,000 yuan, and the seasoned theater commander also had the sweetest bait he could use to ambush the Japanese army.
There is no need to deliberately spread the news. The information about the military-civilian gathering of the Four Corps has already been placed on the desk of the Japanese North China Expeditionary Army Headquarters.
No one can resist this huge temptation, especially Itagaki Seishiro, who deeply hates Tang Dao and his four elements!
