"This time our Fourth Army Regiment came to eastern Shanxi. In addition to carrying a reorganized regiment with equipment to supply the 47th Army, it also annihilated 2,500 Japanese invaders from the Guoqi Detachment in the Battle of Laojin Pit in Guangde in December last year.
More than 3,000 people from the 2nd Infantry Regiment of the 14th Division of the Japanese invaders were ambushed on the south bank of the Bihe River at the Iron Bridge of the Yellow River. All the equipment from the two Japanese troops was seized and brought into eastern Shanxi!
As for our unit, as early as the first month of the year before, we had all been equipped with the equipment of the Northeast Army, and there is no shortage of guns, artillery, and ammunition!"
Tang Dao looked at the two giants of the 386th Brigade and said with a calm smile.
Even though he was Brigadier Chen, Director Wang was also someone who had seen the world, so they couldn't help but be surprised at this moment!
An infantry regiment killed nearly an infantry brigade of Japanese troops in this way? When did the Japanese become so vulnerable?
Of course, for Brigadier Chen Da, who had obtained information from his teacher in the Jiangxia office, he already basically knew the achievements of Tang Dao and the Four Elements Regiment. He knew that Tang Dao was still modest.
If Tang Dao almost defeated a Japanese infantry regiment with 400 troops in the battle at Sihang Warehouse, it created the world's first classic defensive counterattack in which the opponent's main force was annihilated with a strength ratio of 1:10, as well as in Songjiang Warehouse.
The awe-inspiring solid defensive warfare created by the city, and the three battles of mobile warfare on the plains in front of the Jiaxing defense line, which dragged the enemy for a week and completely annihilated the heavy artillery brigade, the biggest threat to Japan, I am afraid that Wang Xiaoshan
Everyone has to jump out and say that Tang Dao is Maverick and Maverick's mother is flying on the plane together. If you brag again, the cow will go to heaven!
But obviously, Comrade Wang Xiaoqiang, who was drooling at the corner of his mouth, said that he would never say that, because like his brigade commander, he accurately grasped the key points of what Tang Dao just said.
Yes, what surprised Brigadier Chen was not the known record of the Four Lines Regiment, but what Tang Dao just said seemed to mean: I brought Japanese weapons captured from two infantry regiments, but these were not in the 47th Army
It's within the scope of supply, and all four of our groups have changed their outfits, so we don't need this.
Then who will he give it to?
It was almost the equipment of two Japanese infantry regiments! Even if only three-fifths were captured, it would be enough to equip a complete infantry regiment! Just thinking about this beautiful thing can make the well-informed Chen
The Grand Brigadier took off on the spot.
Not to mention the drooling comrade "Wang Xiaoqiang", whose words in his future memoirs may best reflect his mood at that time.
'At that moment, I don't care whether he is from the Sichuan Army or the Central Army, as long as he is willing to give these equipment to us friendly forces, I decided to call him big brother when I see him in the future!'
Although Tang Dao's words were not so straightforward, if he said them like this, it would be a joke!
However, Brigadier Chen, Director Wang, and even Comrade Wang Xiaoqiang are all people who have gone through the most brutal war years. Even though they are still very young, their minds are far more mature than their future peers.
‘Suffering is a book that makes people grow!’ Although it is poisonous chicken soup, who doesn’t want to live a good life? But this is a fact. When suffering comes, if you can’t learn to grow, then you are basically dead.
After the shock and hope, calm down! There is no pie in the sky, and Tang Dao's shrewdness doesn't look like a good person who would give it away for free. If you want to get these weapons, you must exchange them.
"Haha! I did it as a joke, but I didn't expect that when you came, Captain Tang, you would draw such a big cake for me, Brigade 386!" Brigadier Chen laughed and stretched out his hand, "Please come in! Look at me.
Does Mr. Chen have the ability to eat this cake?"
"Please!" Tang Dao smiled slightly.
This military genius was as open-minded and sharp-minded as in historical records, and he could understand his meaning in an instant.
But today, whether he can eat this piece of cake has nothing to do with his ability. That requires courage!
Because he never dreamed that the Chinese Army Colonel standing in front of him was an elite soldier of the army he and his comrades created. No matter how time and space were displaced, this elite soldier would choose to stand with him.
As for those guns, their belongings had already been defined when the Four Lines Group worked tirelessly to carry them thousands of miles.
That is just the first gift Tang Dao has prepared for these ancestors. There will be more surprises later.
"What? You, the Fourth Army, came to the east of Shanxi, and you don't plan to leave? Do you want to stay in the north to fight against Japan? Commander Tang, you have to think clearly, this is something that even your 43rd Army headquarters cannot make the decision without authorization." Rao Shichen
The brigade commander was bold and was also taken aback by Tang Dao's blunt words.
At this time, whoever has a gun in his hand has the right to speak, but this basically belongs to those senior generals who have at least 100,000 troops under their command.
For an officer like Tang Dao who commands a small infantry regiment, the consequences of violating military orders without authorization are basically doomed. Especially in such an unfavorable situation in the national war, the top management will never be stingy with those who disobey orders.
Butcher's knife, otherwise, who would listen to them?
"Because the Japanese army was so powerful, our Fourth Army Regiment was surrounded by the Japanese army after entering the Taihang Mountains, and had no choice but to fight against the Japanese on the spot! Could it be that, for the so-called military order, our Fourth Army Regiment had to desperately break through the encirclement, and in the end a few people escaped alive
To defend Central China? Then, our Four Elements Regiment still wants to live." Tang Dao's face was blank, as if this matter was true.
Wang Xiaoshan really did not deceive me. Seeing Tang Dao telling lies without blinking an eye, Brigadier Chen realized something!
"Please rest assured, Brigadier Chen, our 43rd Army Military Headquarters will report this to our superiors, and the 23rd Group Army Headquarters will also notify the Military and Political Department to temporarily place our Fourth Army Regiment under the jurisdiction of the 47th Army!" Tang Dao frowned slightly when he saw this man, and hurriedly
He gave a perfect explanation thoughtfully. "And, Brigadier Chen, do you believe it? Some people will not be offended by this, but will be happy to see it happen!"
Brigadier Chen frowned even deeper!
Of course he knew what Tang Dao meant. Putting an elite infantry regiment in the hinterland of his 129th Division base area would probably make some people laugh from ear to ear!
Now we are friendly forces and helping hands, but what about the future? What about after defeating the Japanese? That must not be like a knife in the belly!
However, Tang Dao's openness and honesty made people less worried. In other words, when Tang Dao took out the letter from his old father-in-law and teacher, Brigadier Chen was 95% sure.
, this person is worthy of his trust!
Years from now, the 129th Division will receive 300 advanced students. This secret is known to only five people in the entire 129th Division, and Brigadier Chen is one of them.
But what he never expected was that Tang Dao and the Four Elements Group were actually the escorts of progressive students.
The son-in-law of a calligraphy and painting master who has a deep friendship with the teacher, and a hard-blooded soldier who is willing to take risks to take progressive students from war-torn areas and send them to the 18th Army. When the identities of the two are intertwined, plus the teacher's last words
, it has to make people think a lot!
Therefore, Brigadier Chen Da, who has experienced countless dangers in his life, is not afraid of what threats Tang Dao and the Four Elements Group will pose in the future.
What Tang Dao didn't know was that the main reason why this master's brows were furrowed turned out to be...
There is already a Wang Xiaoshan, and there is another Tang Dao who is not bad at all and is even better than him and is a 'bastard'. How can he survive this day?
"You're about to convince me! But can I hear the reason why your Fourth Army Group insists on fighting in the northern battlefield?" Brigadier Chen stretched out his hand to stroke the wrinkles on his forehead and asked. "You know, there is no place in the mountains.
Compared with the plains, supplies are extremely difficult, and it is impossible to just reach out to the people to get them. Our 129th Division, 47th Army, and other armies have been fighting Japanese invaders while scrimping on food and clothing. Life has been very miserable!"
"The reason is very simple. A large-scale battle on the frontal battlefield can easily involve hundreds of thousands of people. No matter how elite an infantry regiment like the Si Xing Regiment is, it is only a drop in the ocean in the army. With a military order, it may become cannon fodder for the Japanese heavy artillery at any time! Why?
In the war for our country, we Chinese soldiers are not stingy about sacrifice, but our death must be worthy enough.
During the battle, under the Japanese aircraft and heavy artillery, our four regiments might only be a waste of a few Japanese artillery shells. But if it were placed on the northern battlefield behind enemy lines, the 3,000 people under my command would use the geographical advantages to
The tactical policy of 'annihilating the enemy on the move' proposed by your army will result in several times or even ten times the number of Japanese aggressor deaths!
Moreover, I have reason to believe that the uninterrupted harassment war in the northern battlefield will become as good as the frontal battlefield!
The Japanese army wants to continue to suck blood from the occupied areas to replenish the consumption of its army and even its own country. This is a wishful thinking. As long as our Chinese soldiers in the northern battlefield do not stop their swords and guns, they will continue to lose blood and consume. We are already terminally ill. We cannot build up without destroying, but neither do the Japanese.
What kind of giants are they? How many years can they last based on the productivity created by a population of less than 100 million?
Even if they are consumed, I will consume them to death!" Tang Dao replied.
If this reason is placed in the future, it will naturally sound like an afterthought! Because even children know that it is precisely because the struggle in the occupied areas behind enemy lines never stops, transportation lines are attacked at every turn, and supplies are burned and looted at every turn, resulting in
The already weak logistical supply of the Japanese army has become increasingly difficult. What's more terrible is that the strategy of sucking blood from the occupied areas to replenish the country has not been completed. As a result, after the outbreak in the Pacific, the economy of the Japanese island that supports the two major battlefields at the same time almost collapsed!
The first thing to be affected is steel. Many people say that the purpose of the Japanese launching the Pacific War was because of oil. In fact, since 1939, Japan has been forced to implement the second military mobilization plan, comprehensively reducing the supply of materials for all industries unrelated to military supplies.
, and requires citizens to implement ten major measures such as conservation, rationing, recycling, and practicing simple wartime living, and stipulates the implementation of strengthened use restrictions on 32 types of materials such as steel, milled iron, gold, silver, copper, and lead.
By 1940, the beautiful country found that there was no money to be made from the Japanese, and Japan's foreign exchange reserves and gold were almost exhausted. In addition, the signs of Japan's southward march were becoming more and more obvious, so it began to reduce its material exports to Japan.
Therefore, once the beautiful country finally announced the implementation of a material embargo, the Japanese became anxious, because the total steel production in the mainland, the Korean Peninsula and Northeast China was not enough to sustain the huge consumption of the war. This was tantamount to reining in the Americans.
their necks.
For example, in August 1940 alone, more than 300,000 tons of pig iron, scrap iron and other materials were shipped from the east coast of the United States to Japan, which was almost equal to the total exports to Japan in the first half of 1940. These steels were exported to Japan.
Arms production is of great strategic significance. Then, when a beautiful country says it won’t play with you, a scumbag, are the Japanese crazy?
I'm sorry, I've sacrificed my life and death to earn a little money for you, this evil capitalism. The crazy Japanese people can't take a stab at the beautiful national chrysanthemum that makes a lot of money! Anyone else would probably do this.
.
Really, the arms dealer's face is so disgusting.
In addition to the ugly faces of arms dealers that drive the Japanese crazy, the Chinese battlefield also makes the Japanese feel sad.
On the one hand, the Chinese have never stopped fighting in the occupied areas. On the other hand, China is a big agricultural country. It needs food and steel, but it really doesn’t have them. Others are difficult to meet Japan’s industrialization needs for raw materials and markets.
need!
Being lagging behind actually turned into an advantage one day. The leaders of China and Japan may have collectively felt sad from that moment on.
For Japan, the huge consumption of the war made them more thirsty for steel, and they lost all kinds of scrap steel imported from the beautiful country. They could only target the Chinese occupied areas, so after 1940, the Japanese occupied
The district even dispatched military police to steal manhole covers and dismantle the small train tracks built by Shanxi old men in Shanxi Province. By the way, the small train tracks built by Shanxi old men in Shanxi Province were really railroad tracks, not steel but iron!
Let's talk about it, why Japan, this little kid, was defeated in the end, not because of the combat effectiveness of the army, but because of its weak national power.
This is also the difference between the era of hot weapons and the era of cold weapons. In the era of cold weapons, as long as there is enough food in the occupied area, the army can continue to fight, but in the era of hot weapons, there are no guns, no cannons, and they cannot be made of wood!
The little butterfly from the future has a very clear point of view, which is to constantly harass the battlefield behind enemy lines and consume the opponent.
But this view is the greatest affirmation for this era, especially for the 18th Army, which proposed this strategy and tactics but was criticized by some people as "escapeism".
"Do you also think that our department's proposal to eliminate the enemy during the movement is okay?" Brigadier Chen looked at Tang Dao with a mixture of surprise and joy on his face.
"Otherwise, why would I be here?" Tang Dao smiled and spread his hands. "More importantly, I don't want to leave yet."
"Haha, that's true!" Brigadier Chen laughed loudly. "Okay, tell me what my ministry needs to pay before you can hand over those weapons to me!"
"First, our Fourth Army Regiment must be stationed here!" Tang Dao's hand stabbed an area of the map of Licheng hanging in the war room of the 386th Brigade Headquarters.
"Here..." Brigadier Chen took a breath, his face solemn.
The location pointed by Tang Dao is called Dongya Town. It is located in the middle of the Taihang Mountains, with an altitude of 15,000 to 2,000 meters. High altitude is not a characteristic of this place.
The huge energy generated by the relative movement of the earth's crust has cut canyons into the mountains composed of hard red quartz sandstone and shale layers. The cliffs stretch for tens of kilometers, rising straight into the sky!
To put it bluntly, the biggest terrain feature here is the danger!
No matter who wants to attack here, they will have to pay a huge price!
If the 108th Division had not been actively occupying various communication lines based on Licheng County at this time, and the 386th Brigade was using this to plan a war, the brigade headquarters might have been moved to somewhere long ago.
Moreover, as the commander of the main brigade of the 129th Division, Brigadier Chen knew better that the two chief officers of the 129th Division headquarters were also looking for a suitable location for the division headquarters, which was also an alternative.
In fact, in the past time and space, because of the terrain and the huge cave, it became the location of the largest military factory in North China. The Japanese army organized more than 5,000 troops to launch a mad attack on this place. In the end, the main force of the 18th Army had not yet arrived.
Under such circumstances, the Chinese soldiers repelled it with a casualty ratio of 1:6.
Unexpectedly, when Tang Dao first arrived in eastern Shanxi, he would fall in love with this dangerous and important area. Brigadier Chen's brows furrowed again in a rare sight.
But soon, the second bait thrown by Tang Dao shattered his hesitation.
"I want this place, not because our regiment has to hold on. Like your army, our regiment will break into pieces and attack everywhere to attack the Japanese invaders. I want this place because I want to build a stronghold in Shanxi Province and even the entire North China."
, the largest military factory! Our department only has 3,000 people, so we don’t need so many weapons! And your army and our Chinese military in the North China battlefield need it! Moreover, there will be quilt factories and other military-related factories in the future.
Move in!" Tang Dao said with a smile. "Mr. Chen, please rest assured that if your army is not satisfied with the price, you can take away this land at any time!"
Brigadier Chen...
Tang Dao's promise perfectly hit the biggest worry in his heart!
What does the 386th Brigade, no, the 129th Division and even the 18th Group Army, lack most? Military uniforms, supplies, military pay? No, none of them.
It's a gun, it's a cannon, it's a bullet!
This is something that cannot be exchanged for legal currency, oceans or gold. The current 18th Army's military supplies all come from there. Senior commanders like them have a sense of urgency with a rope tied around their necks all the time, and they want to rely on the current
I don’t know when it will take a small workshop with hundreds of people to make dozens of rifles and thousands of rounds of ammunition every month to achieve freedom of equipment.
One can imagine the temptation Tang Dao proposed to establish a military factory for this military genius.
However, that may be the location of the future division headquarters!
Just when Brigadier Chen's eyes were blurred and he was still struggling.
"Furthermore, I promise that within a year, mature technical personnel will be sent to support your army's arsenal, and the required materials can also be supplied!" Tang Dao threw out the last straw that could break the camel's back.
As the saying goes, it is better to have your own father than to have your mother. If you can get technical assistance from Tang Dao and build your own arsenal, that would be great!
Then why are you hesitating? The Taihang Mountains are so big and there are so many dangerous places. Where can we put the division headquarters, brigade headquarters, and military factories?
"It's a deal!" Brigadier Chen took the initiative to hold Tang Dao's hand.
We can't let this rich man run away. Brigadier Chen has always been decisive! With his agreement as the top general of the 129th Division, the two chief officers of the division will not deny him face.
"However, let's talk first. If the factory has lathe equipment, raw materials, etc. that need to be escorted, and if you need help from your army, you can't refuse. Of course, we will also reward you in kind!" Tang Dao said in a good mood.
.
"In order to better fight against the Japanese invaders, our Eighteenth Group Army has the unshirkable responsibility!" Brigadier Chen replied with a smile.
Good guy! This person's structure is much bigger than that of Comrade "Wang Xiaoqiang". He only thinks about the three-acre land of the 772nd Regiment, unlike this one, who uses the entire army to endorse him.
Does that mean that as long as equipment is involved, the entire 18th Army can take action?
Tang Dao couldn't help but look towards Jincheng, where there were equipment for two infantry divisions!
Of course, the one who looked forward to the two infantry divisions equipped with Tang swords more enthusiastically was Brigadier Chen.
He is waiting for the gift Tang Dao mentioned!
That was the result of annihilating nearly 6,000 Japanese troops!
Compared with that, the little thing Wang Xiaoshan secretly kept is nothing!
