It was after repeated requests from the commander of the 10th War Zone that the Ministry of Military Affairs finally approved the transfer of a heavy artillery company from the battlefield in central China to the battlefield in Tongguan.

Four huge 150MM howitzers, more than 200 professional artillery soldiers, 600 shells, and a 12 anti-aircraft machine guns provided to them. Take the train along the Longhai Line and go straight to Tongguan.

That night, the two commanders of Tongguan Defense Zone were like welcoming their own bride. They not only went to greet this small company-level unit in person, but also provided the artillery company with an infantry battalion and an air defense company with a security force.

With the precedent of Tang Dao crossing the Yellow River at night to blow up a heavy Japanese turret, the two lieutenant generals dare not be careless about the safety of this treasure artillery company located 10 miles behind the position.

After the artillery company commander arrived at the front line for careful observation and determination of his artillery company's base, more than 560 people from the three infantry companies used trenches and sandbags fortifications to almost completely surrounded this artillery position, which was also located in the valley. Flies might not fly in, but people would never be able to touch it.

This is not enough. He even drew 8 20mm machine guns from an air defense battalion that was very scarce on his position and deployed them on the surrounding hills.

If the Japanese reconnaissance plane unfortunately discovered this position and attracted a large number of Japanese aircraft to attack, although the firepower of the 20 20 mm machine guns was not strong enough, they would never be allowed to rage the Japanese army.

This is the highest standard treatment that Tongguan Defense Zone can currently receive. The infantry battalion drawn by the company was also formed by the commander of the 28th Division, who used his own guard battalion as a team and transferred more than 160 veterans from each regiment.

The dignified Lieutenant General of the Army now has only one guard company with less than 150 people around him!

Commander Fan, who was not in Tongguan, was even more miserable. He was surrounded by a guard platoon. If the Japanese army could attack like Tang Dao, there would be no too many people. Just one infantry squadron could take away the two most substantial Chinese heads in the Tongguan area.

Fortunately, Fujita Jin, who was so annoyed by Tang Dao that he couldn't eat well and sleep well, didn't have the intention now. What he wanted to do most now was to wave the "fly swatter" hard and swipe the damn fly into meat scraps!

The executor who swung his fly swatter for him was Katayama Satoshi, a man who was eager to make a comeback in his life.

In fact, when the villages around Fenglingdu arrived a month ago, the 3rd Division was empty. They either hid in deeper mountains or fled with their families on sheepskin rafts across the Yellow River.

Otherwise, the Japanese army at the Dashi Village Fort would not have traveled a long distance of more than ten miles away to the mountains to "hunter".

I want to go to the mountains to find Chinese villages, and force the Chinese army to fight against them in an open fire by massacring Chinese villagers. If there are fewer people, I will definitely not be able to go there. Then maybe I will turn into meat buns first!

But there should not be too many people, so as not to attract the attention of the main force of the Chinese military further away.

After thinking about it, Katayama Satoshi finally decided to bring the last essence of the Sixth Infantry Regiment, two infantry squadrons and a heavy machine gun squadron of about 600 people, and he personally led the team to carry out the tasks assigned to him by the division commander.

In addition to the wounded, the Sixth Infantry Regiment, which had been basically disabled, had less than 700 people left behind, especially the two infantry captains who came to see him off, one with his arms hanging and the other with a bandage wrapped around his head. This made Katayama Suozusa, who led his team to face the morning sun inexplicably felt a sense of "the wind was whistling and the Yishui was cold, and the heroes would never return once they left."

In the cold wind, Kazusa Yamasaki spitted hard, trying his best to get rid of this unlucky idea behind his head, and then followed the soldiers into the mountain with great strides.

It’s not that the Sixth Infantry Regiment is so poor that it doesn’t even have any war horses, but with the presence of Chinese sharpshooters in the mountains, riding a horse is just like taking the initiative to put the military rank on your forehead and waiting for the other party to shoot the head.

Not to mention riding a horse, Katayama Satoshi didn't even wear a tweed coat, long leather boots and command knife that the officer was equipped with, and was wearing a 'shit yellow' military uniform and big-headed cow leather boots that were like ordinary soldiers.

In order to be more realistic, the middle-aged man, who was over 40, worked hard to carry the 38-large cover of the pole, and pretended to behave two melon grenades on his chest. At that moment, even made Satoshi Katayama return to his youth and his legs were very powerful.

But the dream returns to the dream, reality is very powerless. Nakasa, a Japanese Army who is over 100 years old, was only walking two miles of mountain road, and was exhausted and panting, and ordered the entire army to take the first rest.

The eye-catching marching speed made Longyan, who was 600 meters away in the mountains and forests, was stunned. This skill was enough for him to run out to six miles, but the Japanese army was still procrastinating on this area. Could it be that this was their tactic?

Attacking the Japanese army at night, and monitoring the movements of the Japanese army in major roads in the mountains during the day. This was originally a combat policy formulated by Tang Dao. Only in this way can the troops be safe under the Japanese army.

"About 600 Japanese troops entered the mountain? And they were carrying a large number of heavy machine guns?" Tang Dao, located 15 miles away, received a message from the guard platoon soldiers operating with Longyan, and frowned.

In order to deal with him, the Third Division had used troops of three or four thousand people, and 600 people were not considered a large number.

Just to expand the search area, the Japanese army basically used infantry squadrons as units, and each infantry squadron would not be separated by more than 400 meters, so that they would not miss the search corners and provide support at any time. Faced with such search strength, Tang Dao had no solution and could only retreat into Zhongtiao Mountain. If it weren't for the infantry brigade of the Third Army, Tang Dao might have taken everyone to southern Shanxi now.

This is the first time the Japanese army has a collective force scale that carries a large number of heavy machine guns, which has more than 600 people. Obviously, they want to do something different.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Tang Dao sat in a ravine covered by the dense forest, biting a straw pole in his mouth, and thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind instantly.

At this time, Tang Dao wanted to light a cigarette, but in order not to expose his whereabouts, Tang Dao issued a strict order long before crossing the river that all domestic waste must be filled in centralized landfill and tobacco must not be carried.

Over the past ten days, the continuous harassment of Tang swords was a torment for the Japanese army, but for the Chinese soldiers hiding in the mountains, isn’t it the same?

Everyone struggled to survive by cold pancakes and dried rice noodles. Even at night when the temperature reached zero, the soldiers could only rely on their comrades' temperature to survive the cold night.

Even the elite guard platoon, such as the 28th Division, almost collapsed several times. The lieutenant guard platoon leader had made suggestions to Tang Dao to leave at least three times.

Because of his tactics and firepower advantages, his soldiers did not die in several attacks, but because of the cold and cold food, many people fell ill for ten days. Colds and malaria were almost synonymous with death in this era. Fortunately, Tang Dao carried extremely magical medicines, and no soldiers died because of this.

But the guard platoon leader knew that it was a matter of time sooner or later, because the medicine would be used up, and the human body was not steel. Even if it was as strong as the Tang Tuan, it would sooner or later become sick due to the harsh living environment and lose this almost omnipotent leader. What awaits him and his guard platoon would be annihilated.

"Sir, IMHO, it's actually meaningless for you to constantly attack the Japanese army like this! Our guard platoon is not important to the overall situation, but you can play a greater role in the battlefield rather than taking risks here." The upright army lieutenant simply said that he was in a blunt manner after being forced to force him to commit crimes.

If it were usual, Tang Dao would ask his subordinates who refuted his tactics to think about it carefully. If they can't figure it out, then execute it. Only one brain is allowed on the battlefield, but at that time, Tang Dao just sighed slightly and replied: "Because, they are the Third Division!"

Of course, Tang Dao knew that he was walking a tightrope. It didn't matter if the Japanese army was attacked many times. Death of hundreds of people cannot be said to have no effect on the combat effectiveness of the Third Division. It should be said that it is not even Mao. But if they are caught by the Japanese army, it will be a disaster and no one can escape.

But this steel wire Tang sword must be taken away, not just for the defense war in Tongguan. All the strategies and tactics of Tongguan defense are to block the Japanese army from the Yellow River. As long as the Japanese army does not cross the Yellow River west, everything is easy to say. In such a defensive war, the Third Division can be said to be able to advance and retreat freely and fully grasp the strategic initiative.

Tang Dao is for the military and civilians who died in Jinling!

The Third Division was one of the culprits of the disaster in Jinling. I missed today and didn’t know when I would meet them again. Every time I killed a Japanese army, it was the best memorial to the dead compatriots in that disaster!

Tang Dao in time and space never dared to set foot in that memorial hall because he was afraid of hearing the whimpering of many souls there. He knew that if nothing unexpected happened, he would never be able to calm down the unwillingness of his fellow tribes in his life.

Fortunately, God gave him the opportunity to send him to this era. Every beast entering Jinling City deserves to die. Sending them to hell is the best memorial for those who died. Only in this way can Tang Dao have the courage to step into that memorial hall that will surely be built in the future.

Perhaps Tang Dao did not have the ability to completely destroy the Third Division, the Sixth Division, the Ninth Division, the Sixth Division, the Sixth Division, the Sixth Division, the 16th Division, the 18th Division, and the 114th Division, but the war was still early, and the accumulation of small amounts became more and sand formed a tower. Tang Dao had enough opportunities to show the number 300,000 to those compatriots.

"Do you think the environment here is already harsh enough? The temperature is approaching zero. In order to hide, it is impossible to make a fire. You can only eat raw and cold food for ten consecutive days, which is simply not something that people can stay." After sighing, Tang Dao asked the Army Lieutenant seriously.

"If I tell you that China once had an army that marched and fought in the snow and ice of minus 30 degrees Celsius. Not only did they lie prone to fight in the snow and ice, but they didn't even have cotton coats and quilts, they just wore cloth shoes and jackets, and the military rations they carried were rice noodles and potatoes.

Creating fires to keep warm and grilling food is a luxury for us, and for them the same, because they do not have an air force, but they have to face a formation-level reconnaissance aircraft patrol almost every hour.

Between life and comfort, they choose to survive just like us!

We are afraid of the cold, and they are also afraid of it, but it is like this cold weather. In order to ambush the enemy, a whole infantry regiment buried itself in the snow all night, just to prevent the enemies passing by from now on from reconnaissance their traces!”

"How could there be such an army? There is no cotton coat at minus 30 degrees Celsius, and it is frozen to death. How could it be possible to fight?" The Army Lieutenant looked in disbelief.

"I tell you responsibly with the honor of Chinese soldiers that there is really such an army!" Tang Dao answered the doubts of the Army Lieutenant with a calm and determined expression.

"What is the 80th Army?" The Army Lieutenant stayed for a while before asking uncertainly.

Apart from that unit, he really couldn't think of another unit in China that could do this, or that it had faced such a harsh environment.

"They are Chinese troops. Believe me, one day you will know that all this is real." Tang Dao patted the Army Lieutenant on the shoulder and gave an ambiguous answer.

"Can you tell me that the infantry regiment lying under the snow has completed the mission of ambushing the enemy?" The Army Lieutenant suddenly felt extremely curious when Tang Dao was about to leave.

Tang Dao paused slightly, and after a while he answered him: "When the sun shone on the enemy's tanks and military vehicles, less than one-third of them launched the charge!"

"The remaining two-thirds..." the Army lieutenant asked subconsciously.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! Then, he saw Tang Dao's drooping eyelids!

That was a phenomenon he had never seen before when he knew this army colonel for ten days. Whenever Tang Dao was chasing him, even if the three or four thousand Japanese soldiers chased him, he still had bright eyes and confidence.

Tang Dao is sad!

Who is this strong soldier who has destroyed countless Japanese soldiers?

"Human will can be steel, but the human body is not!" Tang Dao's voice was very low.

The Army Lieutenant could no longer say what he said later. At that moment, he finally knew why two-thirds of the remaining soldiers did not charge.

Because, they all freeze to death under the snow field!

In order to execute military orders, they actually did such an almost suicide act, and they were not in a charge state. After all, they could still shoot bullets in their gun chambers. What kind of army is this?

"Is this true? Can anyone really do this?" The Army Lieutenant stood on the spot. He didn't know when Tang Dao left.

This is a fantasy legend, but the Army Lieutenant has to believe it because it is the guarantee made by the best Chinese soldiers at present with the honor of Chinese soldiers.

Yes, although the Army Lieutenant suggested evacuation and there were factors to consider for his subordinates, more so, he promised his brigade that he would protect Tang Dao with the lives of all the people.

And Tang Dao's performance over the past ten days has made him clear about one thing. If Colonel Tang Dao can live, he will have the opportunity to take away more Japanese lives. The battlefield of this most outstanding Chinese soldier should not be here.

But, does this army really exist? This has always been a lingering question for the Army Lieutenant.

Until one day many years later, when he stood on the ice field with an infantry regiment himself, he finally found the answer.

Really, he and his comrades are!

Tang Dao can use the "story" to convince his comrades, but at this time he cannot guess the Japanese army's motives, even if he instinctively creates a crisis.

While Tang Dao was thinking hard, Xia Dayu bent down from another grass and reported to Tang Dao with excitement: "Sir, Brigade Commander Hu just called and said that four 150MM howitzer positions had been deployed this morning. If we can send the specific coordinates of the Japanese artillery position, we don't have to work hard to attack and let the four cannons teach the Japanese artillery a lesson."

"Hey! That commander can't command, but this interpersonal network is quite well managed. In just half a month, he really got a heavy artillery." Tang Dao raised his eyebrows slightly, and expressed surprise at the high efficiency of the commander in the 10th War Zone.

"But Brigade Commander Hu is obviously a bit arrogant during this period! He just got the cannon and couldn't help but pull it out to show off. He is not afraid of the Japanese plane!" Tang Dao smiled and teased the major general whom he liked very much.

Brigade Commander Hu: I am afraid that you, an uneasy guy, will take risks in person! As soon as the artillery position is deployed, you will quickly "report" to your baby. I have never treated my wife like this at home. This kind of attentiveness is all used on your baby.

"But the Japanese were so smart that they were attacked by us. The heavy artillery positions were moving in a hard way every day. This was a time difference, and it might not necessarily lead to success. It also exposed our four major killing weapons in vain. It was better to wait for the Japanese artillery to fire first. It would be more appropriate to take action later!" Tang Dao said to himself.

"Hey! I also want to see how powerful our cannons are! It's best to let me watch with my own eyes on the mountain. Our cannons smash the Japanese! "The boy Xia Dayu was very sorry when he heard Tang Dao say this.

"So should I reply to Brigade Commander Hu and report it when our headquarters obtains the exact target coordinates?"

"Wait, what did your baby just say?" Tang Dao asked suddenly.

"I asked if I should reply to Brigade Commander Hu..."

"Previous sentence!"

"I want to see the power of our Chinese cannons. It's best if I can see the Japanese slaughtered in the hilltops!"

"Haha! That's it!" Tang Dao suddenly laughed. "Today I will satisfy you, let you see the power of these 4 German cannons with your own eyes. Remember to block my ears later. I don't want my orderly soldier to become a deaf man!"

"Really?" Xia Dayu opened her mouth wide in surprise.

"When did I cheat you!" Tang Dao patted Xia Dayu on the shoulder. "Go and notify everyone and set off with me to see if I can get some cheapness."

Xia Dayu's words made Tang Dao feel enlightened. No matter what the Japanese were fighting, they would kill this Japanese first.

As the saying goes, "The general comes to block the water and the soil comes to cover it." If the Japanese attack, they will be done if they kill him.

He couldn't beat these 600 people with him, so what about 4 150MM howitzers?

Katayama Satoshi, who was struggling with heavy rifles on the mountain road, would know that such a lunatic would have to use four howitzers to deal with him.

Baga, that level of shell is worth 100 yen in one shot! Can you stop wasting so extravagant?

In fact, when he learned that a certain regiment was shameless and 'lid about military information' and used nearly 40 shells to hit the 600 Japanese infantry, Brigade Commander Hu also grabbed Tang Dao's collar and went crazy: "That's thousands of oceans! Are your kids too extravagant? No, I want 40 heavy machine guns!"

"But!" Tang Dao agreed with a smile.
