Chapter 875 Xiao Tang and Xiao Wang! (Please vote for me at the end of the month!)
But obviously, Major Xiao Ding still doesn’t quite understand his old superior, old leader!
Holding a cigarette in his left hand and akimbo with his right hand, the man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, smoking from his mouth, looked into the distance with a 'golden light' in his eyes!
This man surnamed Tang is here to deliver equipment to the 22nd Army and the 47th Army? How many guns and bullets can one regiment carry? Bai Gouzi, he is indeed a rich man!
When I join the army, don’t I just want to fight against the rich and share the land with them?
When a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes fights against his superiors and subordinates, it's all about cigarettes, wine, tea, etc. He is not so restrained when it comes to the 'rich'. If he is an enemy, he usually wants things as well as his life.
...
Tang Dao, who was dozens of miles away, felt an inexplicable chill on his back!
I couldn't help but think of the thick-browed and big-eyed thief Li Youbing in The Sword. He had a bad temper like a stone in a latrine, but was as cunning as an old fox and a shameless thief.
Good guy, it turns out that the screenwriter didn't make it up. Lao Wang was probably thinking about himself. Tang Dao deliberately exposed himself to the protagonist, and he basically came to a conclusion.
February 17, 1938!
The Battle of Dongyangguan, which broke out 28 miles east of Licheng, ended with the retreat of the 47th Army under the 22nd Army!
In this battle, China participated in an infantry division under the 47th of the 22nd Group Army, and most of the infantry regiments under the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division, with a total strength of 12,000 people; the Japanese side invested two infantry regiments under the 108th Division plus attached artillery.
, engineers, soldiers, and heavy troops, totaling nine thousand people.
In order to compete for this most important pass leading to Licheng County, the Japanese army invested almost as much force as the Chinese, especially when the main force of the Chinese was an infantry division of the Sichuan Army with poor equipment. In the past, this was absolutely extremely
rare.
In fact, the Japanese army in North China paid enough attention to it, which was also the main factor that enabled them to win this battle.
Although this infantry division under the 47th Army had almost no heavy weapons, it was extremely determined to fight. Relying on the difficult terrain, it built three fortifications. With the cooperation and containment of friendly forces, it fought bloody battles with the Japanese army equipped with aircraft and artillery for nearly three days.
As the defenders, they suffered more than 2,000 casualties and still persisted.
Even while holding on, they would send elite units to conduct sneak attacks on the Japanese army, such as an infantry platoon under the division. Because the Japanese army occupied the high point Beiding Mountain on the morning of the 17th, they set up infantry artillery on the top of the mountain to target them.
The Sichuan Army's positions were bombarded indiscriminately, resulting in heavy casualties. The infantry platoon leader, who was the closest position to the top of the mountain and was ordered to retreat, resolutely led his remaining 30 soldiers to counterattack the top of the mountain.
With abundant troops, the Japanese army was extremely cautious in artillery protection. More than 2 infantry squadrons of Japanese infantry established a defense line on the top of the mountain.
It is obvious that the impact of 30 Chinese soldiers on this defense line is like moths flying into the flame!
But they still did it without hesitation.
Because of the appearance of this small infantry platoon, the Japanese artillery position on the top of the mountain was in panic, and the bombardment was suspended for more than half an hour.
The infantry platoon will be completely wiped out!
The furious Japanese soldiers cut off the heads of the sacrificed Chinese soldiers with bayonets and hung them on a tree!
In the sight of the officers and soldiers at Dongyangguan, hundreds of meters away, blood dyed the white grass on the hillside red, the torn cotton coats were flying in all directions, and the hooded straw sandals were hanging among the thorns on the hillside. The tragic scene was heart-wrenching.
Can't bear to see it.
"Fight bloody to the end!" The roars on the Dongyangguan battlefield are said to still be vaguely heard by people standing at the ruins of the war decades later.
Later, it was rumored that the 47th Army headquarters had originally ordered the division to retreat after completing its task of blocking the enemy. However, the commander of the division, who had witnessed the brutality of the Japanese army, refused to retreat until one day later, when the division ran out of ammunition and had no choice but to withdraw from the position.
Because of these 30 infantrymen, the Japanese army sacrificed at least 200 more lives in battle, which was a loss outweighing the gain.
In the end, the total casualties of the Japanese army exceeded 1,000!
In the battle report sent by the 108th Division to the North China Front Army Headquarters after the war, they were not overjoyed because they had occupied Dongyangguan, an important road.
Because at Dongyang Pass after the war, the Japanese army spent three full days and nights just burning corpses, which was longer than the days they spent on the battlefield.
In addition, two of the three infantry squadrons used for "surprise attacks" behind enemy lines returned without success, and found nothing except burning down a few deserted mountain villages. Another one disappeared without a trace, and a large number of traitors were sent into the mountains to search for them.
After asking around, there was no valuable information, and many traitors were exposed as a result and became "missing persons"!
In addition to consolidating the security of Licheng County, which had been designated as an important supply point in the southeastern Shanxi battlefield, this battle did not achieve the strategic outcome they wanted.
Originally, the 108th Division wanted to kill the Sichuan Army Infantry Division in one fell swoop and achieve the goal of severely damaging the Chinese army in southeast Shanxi. However, obviously, the 1-for-2 battle loss shattered his expectations.
Both the Chinese and Japanese armies retreated to their current positions, like two giant beasts that had been injured in a fight. After briefly licking their wounds and repairing it, they would fight fiercely again at some point.
This is a fact that both the Chinese and Japanese armies are aware of. One is very clear that if the invaders are not driven away, future generations will not have a good life; the other is even more aware that if the resisters are not killed, the company will be on guard day and night.
I can't even sleep well, so why occupy the land and use it for a ball?
To put it bluntly, either you die or I die, one of them has to be killed!
And Tang Dao finally met Comrade Lao Wang, the current top commander of that unit in Licheng, the day after the battle.
Lao Wang, whose eyes had been flashing with 'golden light' for several days, also saw his ally Colonel Tang, who had been dried out for four days and was almost turned into dried meat.
Lao Wang, who was waiting at the entrance to the village where the 772 regiment headquarters was stationed, saw Tang Dao following Zhu Sanhei almost at the first sight.
No one knows what he was feeling at that time. Perhaps we can get a glimpse of it from a few words in the elder's later memoirs.
In his life, Lao Wang has gone from a soldier to a squad leader, a platoon leader and finally to a military commander and even a deputy commander of a military region. He has no idea how many soldiers he has led. He can be said to have countless "men". In addition, good looks do not mean justice.
In that era, Lao Wang, like most Chinese people, called the ugly ones ordinary, the handsome ones called pretty boys, and the ordinary ones were still ordinary.
Prosopagnosia, maybe that's the case.
But today, Jubi is an exception, especially for Comrade Lao Wang.
In the early spring of 1938, when Lao Wang first saw what he thought was a 'landlord and old man', whether he believed it or not, his big eyes stared at Tang Dao several times.
To use the original words of his memoirs: The rich man named Tang really has his own unique temperament, and he is very good at first sight!
"This shameless guy just wants to rob! Everyone looks like a rich man!" Tang Dao, who has also entered old age, rolled his eyes after seeing this sentence in the sample book sent by his secretary, and added this
Comments!
"His eyes are like stars and bright moon, which makes people a little unpredictable!" The old man Tang Dao left a note under this sentence: "This sentence is very short, but at Comrade Lao Wang's own level, he mostly embellishes it for others!"
The bright moon in Tantai is smiling!
'He has a neat military uniform and a tall figure. He looks like a good boy at first sight! With his long arms, which are used to assassinate Japanese soldiers, he can definitely stand up to two! However, I should be able to stand up to three of them!'
Here Tang Dao responded with... It's okay to praise others so freely, but also praise himself by the way?
Perhaps, this is the real Comrade Lao Wang!
Anyway, judging from the description of Mr. Tang in Comrade Lao Wang’s not particularly true memoirs, Rich Man Tang perfectly followed Comrade Lao Wang’s aesthetic point, not to mention anything else, just because of his 1.8 meter tall body
, and those big long arms.
As for what he said about his eyes being as bright as the stars and the bright moon, it was probably Comrade Lao Wang's second eldest grandson who did the job, so Tang Dao believed it for the time being.
From Tang Dao's perspective, the man with thick eyebrows and big eyes standing at the entrance of the village to greet him, with his burly body, is truly a powerful man who can do it with a big knife even if he disagrees with someone.
That is, Comrade Lao Wang, who had ignored a certain group for four days, was a little too enthusiastic at this time.
It’s not too much! General Li Jiayu, the commander of the 47th Army who didn’t know Comrade Lao Wang very well, wanted to prove it to Tang Dao, but he told Lao Wang clearly that Tang Dao and the Sixings Regiment had gone through great hardships to carry an integrated infantry regiment.
The equipment has traveled thousands of miles to be sent to Shanxi Province. Please ask the friendly forces to ensure their safety. I will be grateful afterwards!
According to the presence of Battalion Commander Xiao Ding, Comrade Lao Wang's tears flowed out of his mouth at that time, and he patted his chest and assured the supreme commander of the friendly forces that all the brothers in the Fourth Army Regiment would be sent to the 47th Army intact.
Note that Comrade Lao Wang guarantees that people are intact. As for the goods being transported! Comrade Lao Wang dares to guarantee it with his head, but he has never said so.
The 'teacher' said, be as ruthless to your enemies as cold winter, and be as warm as spring to your friends!
Therefore, the courtesy Tang Tuanzu received at this time was so warm, so warm that he almost forgot the fact that he had been left to dry for four days.
However, when the two pairs of big hands were tightly clasped together, and a certain member of the group felt the huge force pouring into his palms, he realized that this head-aching general was more difficult to deal with than he had imagined.
If you want to get a share of the pie that has been assigned to this station, you can't just give him some weapons and equipment. Not only does he have a big appetite, he also doesn't have much favorable impressions of his own military department.
This is only normal when you think about it. The officers standing here, who did not fight to the death with the generals of the Sichuan Army a few years ago? Now they can stand together and laugh side by side. It has nothing to do with God. It can only be said that they are Japanese.
The timing is quite clever.
The "brothers fighting against each other" haven't even divided the property yet! Then a group of pirates came, and the two brothers who were fighting each other had to kill the pirates first with rakes and hatchets!
"Captain Tang, I have heard of your name a long time ago..." Comrade Lao Wang was very enthusiastic, but his polite opening was rather stiff.
When I hear it, I feel very nervous!
Tang Dao is indeed considered a moderate celebrity now, but that was in a plain town where information was relatively developed. In the Taihang Mountains, a mountain where birds don’t even lose their hair after flying over them, who has heard of his name?
Not to mention Tang Dao, I guess the Four Elements Group and these 'mountain turtles' don't even know about it.
This is not just talking about the 129th Division that has entered the Taihang Mountains since September, but also includes the 22nd Group Army that rushed all the way from northern Sichuan to eastern Shanxi.
I can see the newspapers from a month ago, and they are all treated as division commander-level officers. What's more, as early as November, a large area of the northern land has been reduced. Even if there is Tang Chui, the northern newspapers cannot report on Tang Dao and the Four Elements Group.
The fruitful results!
In other words, Comrade Lao Wang's compliment was a compliment that was neither heart-warming nor heart-warming. Not to mention that Tang Dao noticed it, and the weird looks on the faces of several officers of the 772nd Regiment around him betrayed him completely.
But they knew that the more unscrupulous he promoted the virtues of his deputy commander, the more he tried to trick him. As soon as the leaders of the 769th, 770th, and 771th regiments heard that he started to praise him blindly, they immediately
Sayazi left, even offering a cigarette could not stop her.
This is, we are thinking about the visitor! The excited eyes of several officers looking at each other are simply unobstructed.
Really, they have too much confidence in their deputy captain!
The 386th Brigade, no, the entire 129th Division may be better than this 'Mighty General' type general in terms of fighting. For example, their Brigadier Chen, whose reputation for both wisdom and bravery is recognized by the entire 18th Army, is also like the 769th Regiment.
Commander Chen, who was only 23 years old, served as the commander of the four main regiments of the 129th Division. The night attack on Yangmingbao shocked the entire northern battlefield!
But if we talk about the ability to fight against the autumn wind and dig out corners with a small hoe, to use the words of the two leaders of the 129th Division, no one in the entire 129th Division can surpass him!
Because of his presence, the 772nd Regiment obtained much more ammunition supplies from the division headquarters than other regiments.
Of course, it was also because the 772 regiment fought hard. In the two battles at Qigen Village, more than 400 Japanese troops were killed. The food supplies seized were enough for the entire 129th Division to have a good year. Just being thick-skinned and cheating is not a skill. Being able to fight plus plus
Being able to fool someone is definitely a great skill.
Otherwise? Do you think anyone who goes to the brigade headquarters can accept Brigadier Chen's cigarettes, wine, and tea? Comrade Lao Wang is the only one in the division.
"Captain Wang, I appreciate your politeness, but I really want to say that the names of you and the 772nd Regiment are truly astonishing to me, Mr. Tang, whether it's the battle at Niangziguan or the inability to use troops.
The battle of Qigen Village will be restored!" Tang Dao responded to this polite person with a smile on his face and serious eyes.
"Some people say that the victory of this battle is the result of your division Commander Liu's extreme application of Sun Tzu's art of war and Brigadier Chen's personal frontline command. But I think that the two commanders are certainly amazing. You and the officers and soldiers of the 772nd Regiment
Fighting bravely is the basis for victory in this battle! It's like fighting in a ring. No matter how sharp and intelligent your mind is, no matter how fast your reaction is, if you don't have a good body as the foundation, you can only be rubbed on the ground. You and the 772nd Regiment are...
Our Chinese army is one of the best on the northern battlefield!"
Comrade Lao Wang......
Officers of the 772nd Regiment...
Compared with Comrade Lao Wang's polite compliment just now, Tang Tuanzuo's "courtesy" is no longer at the level of being careless. It is completely because I know your strengths and weaknesses, and also know your depth!
Moreover, Tang Tuanzuo praised his level very well. He praised all the officers and soldiers of the 772nd Regiment to the g-point, saying that they were one of the strongest in the entire northern battlefield. Who is so good as to say otherwise?
Who dares to say that Comrade Lao Wang was the first to get angry with them!
More importantly, what Tang Dao said was true. He knew even better than the people involved in this infantry regiment how awesome they were.
The predecessor of the 772th Regiment was originally the heroic unit of the 18th Army. In the future, it will become an iron army. How many troops can participate in the battle of the "Five Sacred Mountains" and win in the Northern Icefields?
They are one of them!
Such troops and commanders certainly deserve such praise!
This kid is a tough one to deal with! It may not be easy to pluck the hair out of him! Lao Wang reacted instantly.
Based on his life experience, praising people is a technical job. Being able to praise people like this is a manifestation of ability. A guy like this is actually the one he wants to harvest.
How can this be fixed?
But who is Lao Wang? He is the "Crazy Wang" who almost killed several officers of the same rank and also made the enemy frightened. His motto in life is: as long as you play well with the hoe, there is no corner that cannot be dug! If you can use the sword to dance,
Come on, the enemy's head is just a dish!
"Aha! I'm so ashamed, so ashamed!" Comrade Lao Wang rubbed his head shyly, "We who are in such a poor and remote place can't receive any battle reports about the battles between Commander Tang and your department. Lao Wang, I'm stupid, and I can't say anything to add fuel to the fire.
But I think Commander Tang is definitely a strong soldier among strong soldiers. Your troops are not bad at all, they are all good men who kill Japanese soldiers!"
Show the enemy weakness first, and only by withdrawing your fist can you smash it out better and more powerfully! Comrade Lao Wang is well aware of the tactics of his immediate boss.
"Well, our regiment is not bad, so we just killed a few thousand little Japs!" Tang Dao nodded and accepted the praise from his friendly troops.
He has been waiting for this sentence for a long time!
Lao Wang’s big eyes were frozen!
This guy with the same good figure seemed to smell a familiar scent to him!
Seeing Lao Wang in a daze, Tang Dao grinned!
"Haha! Captain Tang turns out to be such an interesting person. When we, Brigadier Chen, see him, he will definitely like someone like you!" Lao Wang reacted instantly and laughed.
The officers of the 772nd Regiment collectively pretended not to hear.
They don't dare to say that the chief is interesting like this one!
"Oh! I'm looking forward to that!"
Tang Dao and Comrade Lao Wang clenched their hands again! They soon let go.
Otherwise, Comrade Lao Wang can't guarantee that he will have the urge to pinch off the little fox's hand of the friendly army!
The first time they met, Xiao Tang vs. Xiao Wang, half a pound to half a pound, but their temperament was a perfect match.
One is not very shameless, and the other is the same!
