Chapter 1283 Mother-in-law Watching Son-in-law(1/2)
Three carriages slowly entered the pass from the mountain road under the escort of a fully armed cavalry platoon.
Seeing the Tang Dao wearing military uniform walking quickly, the leading cavalry platoon leader jumped off his horse and strode forward to salute: "Hello, Chief Tang!"
"I'm sorry for all my brothers to protect Tang Dao's relatives from afar. Tang Dao is here to express his gratitude!" Tang Dao raised his hand to return the salute and looked around for a week.
"Where is the function under the post, please be polite!" The cavalry platoon leader looked panicked.
More than 30 cavalrymen did not dismount, but they all sat upright on the horse's back.
Even though the Tang sword had arrived, this was still during the mission. The cavalry still did not dismount and maintained a warning posture at all times, which showed that they were all elite.
That's because this cavalry platoon belongs to the 17th Division, is the most close-fitting guard unit of the white-haired general, and is also more familiar with Tang Dao.
"Mom!" Dan Tai Mingyue rushed towards a woman wearing a light blue jacket and skirt who was walking off the carriage.
"My good girl!" The woman hugged Dan Tai Mingyue who was rushing towards her, with tears in her eyes.
Although there is still news about my daughter and I can see special articles signed by my daughter from time to time in the newspaper, as a mother, how can I be as down-to-earth as seeing her daughter with her own eyes and holding her daughter in her arms? Especially in this kind of wartime.
"Let me take a good look at my good girl. She has become darker and thinner! Is there nothing to eat here? My mom brought you your favorite mung bean cake, which I made by my mom myself." The woman touched her daughter's face, feeling so distressed.
"No, we are not in the mountains, but there are vegetables and meat, and the food is pretty good. Mom, you will know if you live here for a while." Dan Tai Mingyue couldn't let her mother have this impression as soon as she came, and quickly refuted.
"By the way, where is your dad that old bastard? Before leaving, he agreed to send money to his daughter, but the money was delivered. The money was delivered and the man didn't return it. He threw hundreds of people to me. He would be lazy." The woman looked into the distance and didn't see the shadow of the handsome old man Dan Tai, and her pair of eyebrows suddenly stood up.
The woman's eyes are actually 70% or 80% similar to Dan Tai Mingyue, but she is much richer. This shows her anger, but the aura of the mistress is fully displayed.
A group standing not far away felt tight again. Judging from this posture, the future mother-in-law is very powerful!
"Ahem! Madam, I'm here for my husband!" The handsome old man from Dan Tai came over from the other side of the carriage with a look of shame, followed by a handsome boy with a look of not waking up.
The handsome boy's eyes passed by everyone, and he looked at Tang Dao who was standing upright and pine on the other side. Tang Dao sensed the young man's curious gaze and smiled slightly at him.
The unique charm of soldiers shocked the boy directly.
If this is my brother-in-law, my outfit and temperament should be OK. Where is a certain group of people feel good about themselves.
Perhaps Tang Dao didn’t realize a problem at this time, and since ancient times, young people have been passionate!
"Huh? My dear girl is black and thin, why are you so fat, husband? Have you not run out to find your friends by yourself?" The woman glanced at the handsome old man Dan Tai who came over, and rolled his eyes almost to the sky.
"How can it be? Madam, don't know! I am now the director of the Military Industry Department of the Four Fronts Regiment. I took soldiers to fight the Japanese a while ago. If you don't believe me, go and ask." Dan Tai Yunshu shouted. "Is it, Mingyue's good girl!"
The handsome old man Dan Tai probably was so afraid that he was in his heart. For a moment, he didn't notice the reminder that Dan Tai Mingyue tried hard to wink.
Originally, I was just worried about my daughter, but now I am a good guy. Both the father and daughter are in the army. Tang Dao, the future mother-in-law, has a lot to worry about.
"You..." After hearing her husband say that he was on the front line, the woman's face turned pale.
"Madam, let's talk about anything when you have something to say. The man who looks like over there is our future son-in-law and my current boss. I have to listen to him, otherwise the military order will be lost. You can see if you have a good relationship first. If you say no, we have time to change it now. I will go home with you tomorrow." The handsome man Dan Tai pointed at Tang Dao who stood upright like a master, and began to play with the trick of the disaster.
Dan Tai Mingyue almost turned her eyes. If she had known that her father would have played the trick of "Do not die of a fellow Taoist," she would have reminded her to let her mother kill him at night.
"Mom, I am Tang Dao. Thank you for your hard work from afar!" Tang Dao suppressed the urge to kick his future old Taishan who was eager to escape but did not hesitate to trap his son-in-law Yushui and fire, and hurried forward to greet him.
"Haha, Tang Dao! I have seen your photos in the newspaper several times, but it was the first time I saw the real person. It was indeed as the Guinan said in the letter, the most outstanding among people! Although I went thousands of miles this time and my body was a little hard, seeing Guinan and you, this hard work is nothing!" Surprisingly, the woman's attitude towards Tang Dao was particularly gentle.
Dan Tai Yunshu was stunned. With his understanding of his wife's personality, this shouldn't be the case!
Shouldn’t an old wife, who has a strong personality, give her a cold face to express her dissatisfaction with someone who stole her baby’s daughter?
Just like he got married thirty years ago, Lao Taishan and his mother-in-law started to see him, right?
Old Dantai obviously thought too much, and he didn't think about his reputation before his marriage. He was a famous romantic figure in the famous family circle in Jiangnan. If Mrs. Dantai hadn't insisted on marrying, how could Mrs. Dantai, who is also a big clan, be happy?
Compared with the reputation of Tang Dao, the heroic anti-Japanese team leader, who was a handsome man from Tan Tai in his youth, it was a world, not to mention that Tang Dao did his job first.
The Dan Tai family is a big family. When the Battle of Songhu started, more than 200 people in the clan went from Jiangnan to Jiangcheng.
After Tang Dao and Dan Tai Mingyue expressed their feelings to each other, Tang Dao asked Dan Tai Mingyue to tell his home that Jiangcheng was not safe, and it was not the best choice to go south, so he should go to the southwest.
Dan Tai Mingyue was always convinced of Tang Dao's judgment, so she wrote to her parents who had already purchased real estate in Jiangcheng to go to the southwest. Could this major event of family relocation be something that Dan Tai Mingyue could decide?
Fortunately, after coming to the Sixing Group, the handsome old man Dan Tai saw with his own eyes that his future son-in-law was invincible all the way. No poetry or songs are important. What is important is that his military talent is invincible. He immediately sent a telegram to move his tribe members to the southwest.
In the end, the Dan Tai family chose Rongcheng instead of Shancheng, which was also the reason why Tang Dao went home to visit his relatives and did not visit Dan Tai's house. Otherwise, he would have seen his future mother-in-law long ago.
However, when Tang Dao and Dan Tai Mingyue set the wedding date and sent a telegram to the Dan Tai family, Mrs. Dan Tai replied that she would come to attend the wedding of her beloved daughter no matter what, otherwise she would definitely regret it for the rest of her life.
This is understandable. Since the beginning of the war, Mrs. Dan Tai hasn't seen her precious daughter for almost two years, but her daughter actually wants to become a wife. It's fine. Even her husband hasn't returned home for almost a year. How could that woman be happy?
As soon as this telegram came, both Dan Tai and his daughter couldn't help but have a headache. They knew in the army that this fashion was in war. Not to mention that Mrs. Dan Tai would be in danger of going thousands of miles. If the battlefield was in a stalemate, it was still unknown whether this wedding, which was scheduled for the New Year, could be held on time.
Moreover, once they cross the Yellow River, they enter the war zone. Who can guarantee this safety? If they are attacked by the Japanese army, it will be difficult for the father and daughter to get out of this life.
As a son-in-law, Tang Dao made the final decision. If you want to come, then come!
However, the itinerary and the guards had to follow his arrangements.
Mrs. Dan Tai set out from Rongcheng, and the commander of the 22nd Army personally issued a power to order two infantry soldiers to pass through northern Sichuan to Hanzhong, and then arrived in Chang'an. There, apart from the several servants of the Dan Tai family, the main guards will be taken over by the 28th Division, which belongs to the 10th War Zone, to be responsible for the security in Shaanxi Province.
In fact, the Dan Tai family, who set out from Rongcheng in early December, had Japanese planes invaded Shaanxi Province from time to time in the Battle of Tongguan. In order to ensure safety, the convoy was moving very slowly. By the time they arrived in Chang'an, it was already after New Year's Day.
But at that time, the cannons rumbling in Zhongtiao Mountain and Taihang Mountain, and the war was not clear. The commander of the 28th Division, who had already ensured that the worry-free 28th Division, went to Chang'an to entertain the Dan Tai family and his group to prevent Mrs. Dan Tai from being anxious.
That wait was only 20 days. The 28th Division, which was grateful to Tang Dao's help, not only sent a guard platoon to protect the safety of the Dan Tai family, but also a colonel from the 28th Division's Chang'an office often accompanied the Dan Tai family to visit many scenic spots and historical sites in Chang'an.
During this period, I wonder what he wanted to blow Captain Tang into.
When the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain ended, even the commander of the 10th War Zone sent an adjutant to see him off on his behalf, and he was sent to the Yellow River by military trucks. Then the cavalry platoon belonging to the guard battalion of the 17th Division who had been waiting for a long time was taken over.
After arriving at Zhongtiao Mountain, let alone the brigade commander, division commander, and even the commander of the army-level general, Dan Tai family, had seen two. It is not necessary to say how high the Tang regiment was in the army. The attention of the various armies along the way was fully reflected.
Anyway, this is definitely not the treatment that the Dan Tai family deserves. With the reputation of the old Dan Tai, there will be receptions everywhere, but the military will never mobilize so many troops.
With this premise, if Mrs. Dan Tai, Tang Dao's future mother-in-law, doesn't have a good impression of Tang Dao, then there is really no one else.
In addition, Tang Tuanzu's outfit was not in vain. Mrs. Dan Tai, who came from a big family, may value talent more, but her personal appearance and temperament are not just optional.
The Tang regiment was wearing a new military uniform today. The three golden triangles on the collar of the army colonel were also shining by Dan Tai Mingyue, who knew her mother's temperament well, spent half a day to polish it. In addition, where the Tang Dao's 1.8 meters tall man went, the unique toughness and heroic spirit of the soldiers were fully reflected.
Mrs. Dan Tai has lived in Jiangnan for a long time and has never seen any talented man. She has long been tired of seeing the weak scholar-like little face. When she suddenly saw a tough guy like Tang Dao, she naturally felt fresh. In addition, her daughter had already determined that she would marry her, so she might have a bad attitude towards her future son-in-law.
After the cavalry platoon of the 17th Division was responsible for sending the convoy to protect to this mountain pass 60 miles away from Dakouzidong Town, he said goodbye to Tang Dao and returned.
Tang Dao was not left, and asked the accompanying Longyan to deliver canned beef and fine grains for the horses to eat, and then bid farewell to them.
General White-haired is one of the witnesses of his wedding. He will set off here tomorrow. This cavalry platoon may also be responsible for reconnaissance along the road and will never stay here for long.
The Four Corps came with him this time, in addition to a platoon of the cavalry battalion and a platoon of the mountain infantry company, and in the area controlled by the Eighty Group Army, the defense force was enough.
If Tang Dao had not refused strongly, there would be an infantry company of the 683rd Brigade. But that's it. Tang Dao actually knew that in order to ensure the safety of his mother-in-law and his group, Brigade Commander Cheng had already sent a main infantry battalion of the 772nd Regiment dozens of miles away to deploy defenses along the way, and informed the regiment headquarters at any time by signal trees. Otherwise, even Tang Dao would not know accurately that they would have arrived this morning.
This favor is quite good, and Tang Dao can only accept it.
Just so happened that the four regiments eliminated all Czech light machine guns, plus the 60 civilian-type 24 heavy machine guns brought by the new regiment, and dozens of 82-force points, giving one point to the 683rd Brigade and the 17th Division. These two brothers should be satisfied.
Tang Dao has already made plans. MG42 is used as a squad light machine gun, and MG34 is replaced with a tripod and a long gun barrel, becoming a platoon-level heavy machine gun to support vitality. The 12.7mm heavy machine gun is still included in the battalion artillery company, which can both air defense and flat fire for long-range fire.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content below! In this way, the Four Lines can form three levels in terms of machine gun firepower support, and the support for infantry firepower can be called a qualitative leap.
The only disadvantage is that it costs a little bullet!
But after more than half a year of development, Teacher Xiao He's military factory has also developed into four major workshops, one and one branch.
The workshop is a gunpowder workshop, a light weapon manufacturing workshop, an ammunition workshop, and a mechanical workshop. One part is the equipment design department, and the branch factory is the steel factory!
In the ammunition workshop alone, 400,000 bullets of various types and 3,000 small-caliber shells can be manufactured in one month, which can basically meet the needs of the Four Line Regiment's one-time combat.
This does not include the No. 1 Weapon Laboratory in Handan. Although it is designed and tested by Grunov, there are also many machine tools and raw materials provided by Krupp, which can also produce some ammunition based on the principle of not wasting productivity.
These outputs were basically digested by the Eighty Army. They were responsible for providing raw materials, and Handan was responsible for providing them with 150,000 machine rifle bullets and 1,000 small-caliber shells in January.
Of course, for this batch of ammunition, the Eighty Army has also used regular troops to provide transportation and escorts for various materials transported from Handan to Taihang Mountain, which is not pure and useless.
The Four-Entertainment Group itself does not have such powerful power, which is also the importance of cooperation.
In order to avoid suspicion, the 80th Army Command may not have attended the wedding in person, but the 921st Division was all elite, giving Tang Dao enough face.
Tang Dao also made a decision and would give them a bigger surprise at that time, except for those light and heavy machine guns.
The Dan Tai family has not been many people this time, except for Mrs. Dan Tai and Dan Tai Mingyue's younger brother Dan Tai Mingjing, which is the young man Tang Dao recognized at a glance.
The young man was a little shy, but he was quite generous to Tang Dao's future brother-in-law. His admirational eyes made Tang Dao a little confused.
Don't be confused about joining the army, otherwise with the momentum of his future mother-in-law, his life will definitely not be easy.
The other two are Mrs. Dan Tai's personal maids, and the other four are guards of the Dan Tai family. Everyone is holding a mullet and a narrow knife on their backs, which looks quite tough.
There were not many people, but there were many things. They had a whole carriage. Although the things were made of silk, soft silk, soft silk, some new cotton, and even exquisite porcelain from Jingdezhen. They were not like gold, silver and jewelry that were dowed by wealthy families, but this could better reflect Mrs. Dan Tai’s intention to her daughter.
I was afraid that my daughter would not live well in such a mountain, so I wanted to bring all the items I used for my family.
Especially when the red wedding dress was taken out, Dan Tai Mingyue's eyes turned red, which was woven and sewn by Mrs. Dan Tai himself.
Since receiving the news about her daughter last year, Old Dantai has brought money to help her with her family's property, but Mrs. Dantai, who stayed at home, turned her longing for her daughter into a stitch. Even because of the war, the entire family had to migrate to the distant southwest mountainous areas. The whole year of 1938 was turbulent.
But the thread in the mother's hand never stopped, until she finally received the news that her daughter was about to get married, and the red wedding dress made of mulberry silk was finally woven.
On the way back to Dakouzidong Town, the mother and daughter who had not met for a long time sat in the carriage and talked. Tang Dao's brother-in-law, who was less than 17 years old, refused to ride a carriage, but followed Tang Dao on a war horse.
"Brother-in-law, did you really kill five Japanese devils by picking one by one?"
"Brother-in-law, can you tell me how you chased my elder sister? I think she can't get married if she is not gentle at all."
