Chapter 1376 Return to the mountain city
Tang Dao set off early the next morning.
This time, Tang Dao Che Jian Cong brought Ming Xin, Pang Zilong and Uncle Han.
Xia Dayu originally wanted to follow, but Tang Dao rarely stopped him. Although he was not considered a dragon's and tiger's den, the danger was about to emerge. Xia Dayu naturally wisely did not drag the Tang Tuanzuo back.
Mingxin is currently the second most powerful cold weapon combat power among the Four-Rings. Pang Zilong is a rising star among snipers. In the battle of Zishan, he even had a terrible performance of sniping hundreds of meters at night. He was vaguely chasing Niu Er. With the two of them following Tang Dao, it is also a great addition to Tang Dao's own combat power. Several other chief officers of the Four-Rings can also feel more at ease.
Uncle Han is older, and was even more injured by a bullet in the battle of Zishan. His combat power is not as good as before. He himself also faintly wanted to retreat, but his hometown is still in the Japanese-occupied area and could not return.
Tang Dao had a sudden inspiration and asked Uncle Han to go to the Tang family's old house to temporarily serve as the escort of the inner house. He was responsible for teaching the guards martial arts and returned to his hometown after the war was over.
Uncle Han was already a little confused about retreating or not. When he heard that he could continue to use his remaining energy and did not have to occupy a position in the group, he naturally agreed happily.
Since Tang Dao left was a top secret, except for a few people in the regiment who knew that Tang Dao was going to the mountain city, the rest of the regiment only thought that Tang Tuanzuo was going to the war zone to report his duties. Therefore, except for Lei Xiong, Shangguan Yun and Zhuang Shisan who were at the garrison, there was no one else.
"Group, the road is long, please take care of yourself!" Seeing Tang Dao and his men turning over the horse, the three of them stood at attention and bowed to each other.
"Don't worry, you will return it within three months!" Tang Dao grinned and raised his hand to return the gift.
"Go!" With a low growl, the green horse under the Tang Dao's seat began to trot and gradually accelerated, and the four-man and four-horse disappeared from the sight of the three.
"The leader of the regiment is going to the mountain city, it is really unpredictable!" Shangguan Yun's face was covered with dark clouds.
Shangguan Yun stayed in the 88th Division for a long time and knew a little about the filth among the top leaders, but he understood the ruthless methods of those big men.
Tang Dao was ordered to return to the Ministry of Military Affairs to report his duties. In his opinion, it was as dangerous as Yue Wumu had received twelve gold medals back to Beijing. Personally, he would rather Tang Dao pretend to be sick than go to the dangerous place in the mountain city.
"Don't worry! Shangguan, have you forgotten the situation when the group leader was taken into the warehouse? At that time, he didn't say a word wrong. If he showed a little timidity, he would probably be treated as a deserter and rectified the Dharma on the spot. In that kind of danger, he could gain the trust of Chief Xie to advance to the battlefield two levels." Lei Xiong did not have Shangguan Yun's worries. He looked up and looked around, and his eyes were even more dazzling.
"If the matter is really at the point where Shangguan is worried, not to mention whether they can kill the ranks, our four-way regiment is definitely not the Yue family army. Whoever dares to be our leader will dare to dig out his ancestral tomb."
"Be careful! Deputy Lei Group, you are the highest commander designated before the group's departure. Your decision is related to the lives of more than 10,000 brothers in the Four-Level Group!" Zhuang Shisan reminded in a low voice.
Before Tang Dao left, he made arrangements for the command structure of the Four Corps. Gong Shaoxun was responsible for intelligence outside and did not participate in the management of other affairs in the regiment. He stayed in the regiment with four people, including deputy leader Lei Xiong, director of the Political Department Ye Chenghuan, chief of staff Shangguan Yun, and chief of logistics department Zhuang Shisan. Important matters were decided by the four people. If there was a two-vote-to-two-vote disagreement, then Lei Xiong's opinion was the main focus.
This is the best way Tang Dao can think of, both democracy and concentration, and will not allow Lei Xiong to make misjudgments on his personal rights too concentrated, nor will it affect efficiency.
"You Laozhuang! The group judges you at all. Everything is good, but it's too cautious. Okay, who made you the butler for our ten thousand people to have dinner! Let's not talk about it, let's go!" Lei Xiong led the way back.
Zhuang Shisan and Shangguan Yun looked at each other silently, and both smiled bitterly and shook their heads.
Deputy Commander Lei was brave in combat and had great tactical thinking. He was originally an outstanding commander, but compared with Tang Dao, he lacked a little thing. Even though they could not say what they lacked.
This is the effect of Tang Dao on the Four-Entertainment Group. Everyone is used to it and doesn’t feel that they have any feelings. Suddenly, when he leaves, although the abilities of several officials are not bad, he always feels that he has no backbone.
However, it is still possible to wait for three months, especially during this period, the Japanese North China Front Army was much more honest. The newly appointed commander of the North China Front Army, Okamura Koji, did not make any big moves except shouting the slogan of "China-Japan Goodwill".
It won't take long before several heads of the Four Lines Regiment will appreciate the power of the once hailed as the "most insidious commander of the North China Front Army."
Tang Dao and the other two took the safest road recently. They all went from Taihang Mountain to Wangwu, and secretly arrived at the 38th Army base on the third day.
Commander Zhao of the 38th Army personally led a guard company to welcome him for 15 miles, entertained Tang Dao and his party at the military headquarters, and took his personal guards to rank the next morning to send Tang Dao through his defense zone to the Yellow River Ferry.
The four men temporarily stored the war horses in a regiment of the 17th Division of the 38th Army. They crossed the river at dusk on a sheepskin raft. Five miles away from the ferry across the Yellow River, four trucks were waiting in the woods.
After the two sides met the order, in the night, Tang Dao and the other two got into the car and rushed straight to Chang'an under the escort of 120 fully armed soldiers.
The 120 soldiers all came from the guard regiment of the 10th War Zone Command. Before they saw Tang Dao, none of them knew who they were going to pick up, but they only knew that they were an important figure returning from the North China front.
It can be seen that the Shancheng intelligence department attached great importance to Tang Dao's return to Shancheng to report his duties this time, which was close to the treatment of the commander of the war zone army.
No, to be more precise, it must be more than.
Tang Dao and the other two stayed in an official residence in Chang'an City for 4 days. Except for not being able to go out to the streets, everything else was arranged properly.
Chang'an is not far from the Qinling Mountains, so all kinds of mountain delicacies are fine, even seafood, which shocked Pang Zilong, a "land bun" who has never traveled far away for a hundred years.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! But Pang Zilong still underestimated the luxury of the so-called upper class people. In addition to various delicacies, an army colonel accompanied him even brought a group of singing and dancing for Tang Dao and the others in the secret room to choose. Tang Dao naturally refused without hesitation.
"These are all a group of monsters and monsters!" Ming Xin carefully buttered his sword and made a disdainful comment on it.
There is nothing else in this world who can destroy his Taoist heart except those who have not returned yet!
The young Pang Zilong thought about it carefully. It seemed that compared with the heroic female soldiers in the regiment, the faces of these women were too white, as if they had lost too much blood.
Uncle Han has experienced so many ups and downs in life, and is not surprising about it, but he just smiles and says nothing. Some things can only be experienced by young people on their own, and that is their own life.
"What does it mean that the wine and meat in the country are frozen to death on the road? That's it." Tang Dao sighed slightly.
No wonder the commander of the Tenth War Zone is one of the Five Tiger Generals under his command. He has been very moved! But if this is the corrosive spiritual routine, then he really underestimates him Tang Dao!
Finally, seeing that Tang Dao and four people were not willing to eat and drink, and the women were not as good as they were full, they came to fight and train in the back garden of the secret residence. The four people were not satisfied with the fight and called the elite war zone guards in charge of the security of the residence to compete. Tang Dao did not take action. Just a young man and a white-haired old man beat the most elite guards in the war zone to obey. Seeing that after waiting, the two teams of the Four Lines Group were about to fight all the invincible guards of the guard group, the commander surnamed Jiang could only appear.
"Brother Tang, I have always heard that my brother's name has not been able to see him. When I saw this, I felt that there were several tiger generals in my millions of troops. After my officers and soldiers of the War Zone Guard Company personally experienced it, I was amazed!" The commander of the Tenth War Zone was more direct than Tang Dao imagined. Although it was not arrogant, the pressure of the commander of the War Zone was visible to the naked eye.
It has to be said that although this man performed poorly in combat against Japan, he had this commander's demeanor.
"Hello, Chief Jiang! Tang Dao has become a habit in the army for a long time. The commander treats him so well, and Tang Dao dares not refuse. He can only use this to eliminate the fatty meat. I hope the commander will forgive me!" Tang Dao stood attentively and saluted, and replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Haha! Brother Tang is such a wonderful person. No wonder Minister He called me specifically and said that you will become a great man in the future and asked me to entertain you well." The commander of the Tenth War Zone laughed out loud.
Both sides tried and tried it out easily, and this man also took the opportunity to pass on the kindness of his immediate superior to Tang Dao.
Next, the main thing is.
It turns out that the few days Tang Dao stayed in the official residence were not entirely deliberately arranged by this person, and this was also the confidential plan of the director named Dai.
After Tang Dao arrived at the 38th Army's garrison, the number of transport planes from Shancheng to Chang'an increased, and this was the case for several consecutive days. One was to test the reaction of the Japanese intelligence department, and the other was to confuse the Japanese army, making him unexpectedly, an important figure would arrive in Shancheng with a return transport plane.
After all, the air supremacy in North China is now completely in the hands of the Japanese army, and the mountain city cannot send fighter jets to protect this line of defense that exceeds 1,000 kilometers.
Lei Xiong did not regard the Four Army Regiment as the Yue Family Army. The same goes for the Shancheng. According to the analysis of the intelligence department, if something happened to Tang Dao, the probability of the Four Army Regiment entering the Eighty Army Army would be as high as 70%. The Sichuan Army generals must have reacted strongly.
Tang Dao can even have an accident in the mountain city, and must not have an accident on the plane. The man from Shancheng also sent someone to instruct the Military Control Commission.
This is really useless. A few months later, a Japanese spy hidden by a lieutenant general and a colonel from the military and political department was captured. There were strange but extremely cruel punishments such as "ten months of pregnancy", "Tian Ji's horse racing", "leech bath" and other strange but extremely cruel punishments. There were only a few Japanese spies who could withstand it.
This explanation brought out the Japanese army's action plan for Tang Dao to arrive in Shancheng in June.
It turned out that the Japanese North China Front Army had known that Tang Dao had returned to Shancheng to report his duties under the order of the Ministry of Military Affairs, but the Army Colonel of the Ministry of Military Affairs was not of sufficient level. He only knew that Tang Dao was going back to Shancheng, but he didn't know how he would return, and he wouldn't know that the Ministry of Military Affairs would actually ask Tang Dao to return on a special plane.
For this reason, the intelligence class of the North China Front Army of Japan formulated several assassinations against Tang Dao returning to the mountain city from thousands of miles away.
There is land and water, and even thought of it in the air, and even secretly ordered the Japanese North China Front Army Army to dispatch 4 96 fighter jets to prepare for air interception.
However, the Military Control Commission has deployed a suspicion array, and materials have been transported to Chang'an through transport planes for several days. According to the inside information, they are all medicines and military pay urgently needed by the Yellow River and Zhongtiao Mountain defense lines. This is naturally far less important for the Japanese army than assassinating the Tang Dao. In order not to alert the enemy, the Japanese army voluntarily gave up the plan to assassinate the Tang Dao from the air and concentrated a large amount of manpower and material resources on several necessary roads to enter Sichuan.
This naturally happened to be lonely. The Tang Dao, who was sitting on the machine, arrived at the mountain city in just three hours.
Director Dai Da, who seized this information, was said to have sweated coldly at that time. If Tang Dao was really assassinated by the Japanese army, according to a secret report he had placed inside the Four-Levels regiment, the Four-Levels regiment would rebel! Seventy percent of the report he had previously reported to that person was just Anna's heart.
With this military commander who had all the eyes and ears, Tang Dao and the other two boarded a transport plane on the afternoon of the 6th after arriving in Chang'an, and arrived at Shancheng Airport with bumpy all the way.
Pang Zilong, who was not afraid of the world, had a pale face. Sitting on the plane far away from the ground, life and death could no longer be controlled by himself, it was a nightmare for the elite army.
Even Mingxin, who was very nervous, had a look of his face, but in fact, the veins on the back of his hand holding the big sword were bursting. The feeling of weightlessness brought by the plane falling a hundred meters when it encountered the airflow was also extremely oppressed to him.
Not to mention the two young people, even Uncle Han breathed a long sigh when he got off the plane and sighed: "It's really not easy to be a pilot!"
"No, I would rather fight a hundred wars with the Japanese than take another plane. I always feel that I will fall into a meat pie at any time." Pang Zilong complained with lingering fear.
The two foreign pilots who accompanied the plane to get off the plane were full of sarcasm. They had seen many such army local buns.
The only thing that surprised them was probably the young man carrying the colonel's seal. His face was as normal as he did, and he even smoked two cigarettes in the cabin, and he didn't take precision instruments like planes seriously.
They might not have imagined that in Tang Dao's eyes, the only reason this old-fashioned Jacques 6 transport aircraft assisted by Mao Xiong may be cherished is antiques and precision instruments that cannot be hung at all.
Tang Dao did not accept the words of his subordinates, but instead turned his attention to the city several kilometers away.
At this time, the sky was already dark, but the city was still shrouded in darkness. It was obviously not because the mountain city was not crowded.
Shancheng was originally a big city in the southwest. Before the War of Resistance Against Japan, the population was as high as 400,000, and the population density reached more than 5,000 people per square kilometer. Due to the failure of the Battle of Central China, most of the various institutions and factories in the southeast retreated to Shancheng, and the population surged to more than one million. In this era, it would not be a perfect super city.
The lights were rare after nightfall, naturally because the Japanese army in order to shake the Chinese government's determination to resist the war and force the Chinese government to surrender. From 1938 to 1943, in five years, the Japanese army dispatched a large number of planes to carry out inhumane strategic bombing on the mountain city.
"Zilong, I don't know if your marksmanship is accurate, can you shoot a plane flying at an altitude of 3,000 meters!" Tang Dao stood on the runway of the airport, with a low metal voice asking.
"Of course, this is not possible!" Pang Zilong stood up straight.
"Do you know? It's this city that has suffered indiscriminate attacks from more than 10,000 bombs in the past two years. Schools, hospitals, factories, residential areas, military camps, and even the Western embassy areas are all within the attack range." Tang Dao's eyes were sharp in the mist at night like a knife.
What he said was more like a knife, penetrated hard into the hearts of two elite army soldiers.
In Zishan, the Japanese army used hundreds of fighter jets and dropped hundreds of bombs at a time, which made them hiding in the tunnel feel like the end of the world, and they also had hundreds of air defense weapons fighting back desperately.
But this city, which is basically composed of civilians, has been bombed by tens of thousands of bombs. How much should the loss be? They can't imagine.
Tang Dao has no alarmist words.
According to records: in the five years, the Japanese and Japanese troops attacked the mountain city a total of 218 times, dispatched 9,513 aircraft, dropped 21,593 bombs, killed 11,889 citizens, injured 14,100 people, more than 30,000 houses were blown up, and more than 30 universities and schools were bombed.
Among these bombardments, three of the most tragic bombings were the 5354 bombings, the 819 bombings, and the 65 tunnel tragedy.
May 354 bombing: On May 3 and May 4, 1939, the Japanese army changed to naval bombing. Take off from Jianghan, continuously bombing the central area of Shancheng City, and used a large number of incendiary bombs. The fire in the center of Shancheng City was burned for two days, and the commercial street was burned to ruins. The total number of bombing deaths was 3,991, 2,323 were injured. 4,889 buildings were destroyed, and nearly 200,000 people were left homeless. Even foreign churches, embassies of Britain and France and other countries in China, and German embassies were not spared.
August 19th bombing: In May 1940, the Japanese base camp launched Operation No. 101, and began bombing the rear of our army and the navy at the same time. The army used Yuncheng, Jin Province as its base and Hankou as its base, and more than 2,000 Japanese aircraft bombing Shancheng, including the bombing on August 19 of the same year, and the bombing was extremely fierce. More than 2,000 houses in Tianshancheng were destroyed. At the end of 1940, the Japanese army threw a total of 4,333 tons of bombs on Shancheng.
The 65th Tunnel Tragedy: In early 1941, before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in the United States, they launched the "Fight No. 102" concentrated air strikes in China. From January to August, more than 3,000 aircraft raided the mountain city, including night air strikes.
On June 5, the Japanese army bombed the mountain city for five hours from evening to midnight. Many refugees fled here to hide in a major air raid shelter in the mountain city. At that time, the guards were not allowed to enter and exit. Some of the ventilation openings of a major air raid shelter were blown down, causing insufficient ventilation in the hole. Citizens in the cave were squeezed to the entrance of the cave due to difficulty in breathing, causing trampling on each other and suffocating a large number of refugees, which were estimated to have died thousands of people.
According to survivors, at that time, a Japanese traitor sent signals to Japanese aircraft, and the Japanese army bombed the holes and vents with targets. This caused a horrific air defense tunnel tragedy, known in history as the "big tunnel tragedy", and was one of the three major tragedies in the history of China's War of Resistance.
Listening to Tang Dao talking about the Japanese bombing incident in the past two years, Pang Zilong's eyes became more angry. He glanced at the sparse fighter planes on the runway, and sadness rose in his eyes: "Why don't we in China have planes?"
Mingxin also held his fist hard, which was a little more important than being on the plane.
"There will be something, we will have something sooner or later. We will return everything that the Japanese gave us sooner or later." Tang Dao said softly.
This Chinese colonel has a good mentality. With China's current industrial level, we should build aircraft and wait for the next century! Two foreign pilots who have been in China for nearly a year have defined the Tang Tuan.
At this time, an engine roar came from the runway, and a truck rushed from the other end of the runway.
Chapter completed!
