In a blink of an eye, it was the end of August 1940.

Tang Dao originally planned to set off to return to his base around the 26th, but he reported it to the Ministry of Military Affairs twice in a row. The Ministry of Military Affairs said that Tang Dao would wait a little longer.

Tang Dao was very frustrated. His wife's due date was just these few days. Although he could not rush back to his wife who was waiting for delivery in time, the earlier he went back, the sooner he could see his first child. The feeling of becoming a father was something that Tang Dao had never experienced in his previous life.

But Tang Dao also knew that although he had done so many things, as long as the Ministry of Military Affairs did not allow him to leave, as long as he took a step out of the mountain city area, he would be disrespectful to the military order.

If there are still generals who are not allowed to be ordered by the outside king during the war, the front-line commander should make tactical adjustments based on the actual combat situation. Everything is easy to say if he wins the battle. However, at this time, if the big hat that disrespects the military order is put down, no one can protect him.

Of course, Tang Dao didn't know that during the period of celebrating victory, the three parties in the Ministry of Military Affairs, the Fifth War Zone, and the Second War Zone had a very complicated game.

First, the commander of the Fifth War Zone asked the Ministry of Military Affairs to transfer the Fourth Corps to the Fifth War Zone to fight. The general commander even called the person in his private name and asked for support on the grounds of losing the general, which made the Minister of Military Affairs unable to refuse.

After obtaining the approval of the Ministry of Military Affairs, General Bai Xi, who served as the director of the Guizhou Provincial Battalion and also served as the commander of the Fourth War Zone, took the car to the Second War Zone Command to meet with Commander Yan while visiting the Tenth War Zone.

It is said that the two of them stayed in that small conference room for 4 hours. Even the stingy old man's personal secretary, the fifth sister, didn't know what the two talked about, but judging from her extremely gloomy face after seeing off the guest, the content of the conversation between them undoubtedly made her not very happy.

Even if this Guizhou boss offered conditions that he could not refuse, such as the Guizhou clan would become his ally in the future and fully support him in the province of Jin, etc., this would definitely be a sleepy old man who had gradually lost his voice in the government and sent him a pillow, otherwise he would be unable to withstand the pressure from that person.

However, the price he had to pay was huge. The fifth war zone actually had to be transferred from the Four-Road Group.

This is not only an irreparable loss for the battlefield in North China, but also a huge blow to the stingy old man who is determined to counterattack Yuancheng and get his territory back.

Even the stingy old man who has always been smart can't help but weigh the two for a long time and did not give an answer at that time.

In the end, it was the fifth sister who woke up the dreamer with one sentence. Li and Bai's thoughts and conditions were secondary. The important thing was to depend on the attitude of the person. If he had this intention, no one could stop him.

The stingy old man immediately summoned his confidant general and informed Bai Shang's future purpose, who was still waiting in the military camp, and the generals of the Jin clan naturally opposed it.

They are not fools. Since the Sixing Regiment came to the battlefield in North China, although they did not have the ability to turn the tide because of their small organizational forces, every attack was like a sharp bayonet, which stabbed the waist of the Japanese army in North China, not only made the Japanese feel pain in their ecstasy, but also affected the overall situation partially.

In just two years, the crumbling northern defense line has been maintained until it is now in balance. The Japanese North China Front Army not only has no progress since then, but also has to draw out a large number of troops to maintain stability in the occupied areas.

Although many of this is attributed to the Eighty Army, which is constantly active behind enemy lines, as long as you are a discerning person, you cannot deny the important role played by the Four Army Group in it.

The Military Commission has never said that it would be necessary to counterattack or not to counterattack. As long as these two important defense lines are maintained, the security of the Yellow River defense line is ensured, the Japanese North China Front Army does not allow the Japanese to enter Shaanxi Province, and the main force in the decisive battle between South China and the Japanese army is trapped in the trouble of fighting on both sides.

Once the Four Army Regiments leave, the Japanese army loses this important problem, and they may redirect their fingers to the two important defense lines of Zhongtiao Mountain and Taihang Mountain. Will the pressure on everyone to double again?

The vision and pattern of these Jin generals are somewhat different. After this, the stingy old man is a little undecided.

"Sir, everyone, for the current situation, is Yiling the most important or North China the most important?" General Yang, who was then the deputy commander of the Second War Zone and the commander of the 6th Army, issued a question until the end to silence all the generals present.

Although Yiling is a small city, its location is located in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, which is a must-pass place for the Yangtze River waterway. What's more, it is only a few hundred kilometers away from the mountain city, and you can directly reach the mountain city along the Yangtze River.

If the Japanese army occupied this place and used it as a bridgehead to attack the mountain city, it was not that there was a tiger in the mountain behind the home, but that the tigers rushed into the yard and were about to break into the door. How could the person in the mountain city sleep?

The Sichuan Province where the mountain city is located is now not only China's most important political, cultural and industrial center, but also China's most important production area and export place for civilians and soldiers.

Minister He, the Ministry of Military Affairs, mentioned in a report not long ago that: In Sichuan Province, conscription in the quota and actual amount, both account for about 1/5 of the total amount in the country, ranking first in the country; there are about 150,000 intellectual youth registered to join the army nationwide, and in Sichuan Province there are more than 40,000 people, ranking first in the country. One of less than 10 people in the anti-Japanese army nationwide is a Sichuanese.

In addition to people, there is also an extremely important grain. Sichuan Province people would rather pay enough public food when they are hungry, so that between 1938 and 1939, Sichuan Province provided one-fifth of the country's grain.

But this is just a statistics from people in this era. In fact, Sichuan Province has made even more thrilling sacrifices in the next few years of the War of Resistance Against Japan. According to statistics, from 1941 to the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Sichuan Province collected a total of about 1/3 of the total rice in the country.

A province aided the whole country, probably this is the origin of the true saying "Any river cannot be formed" that was circulated in later generations.

In comparison, the war in North China is obviously not as important as that side.

"Brother Xingru means..." The stingy old man frowned, obviously grasping the meaning behind this question.

"Except for Chief Bai, on behalf of Chief Li, who made this request to Chief, you, the Ministry of Military Affairs should not make any statement!" General Yang asked again slowly.

"It seems that the old man from the Four-Entertainment Group can't be kept!" After a long time, the stingy old man finally let out a helpless breath.

With his political wisdom, how can he not understand that since General Wu can come, even if he is not the one who agrees, he still agrees. However, he still has a lucky heart. He believes that the war in North China is important and should not draw the elite in the war zone.

But as the number one general under his command said this, he finally confirmed that the person was waiting for his statement.

In fact, the ending was already destined when General Bai Shang came, but his attitude as the commander of the Second War Zone was perhaps the one who wanted to see the most.

"Sir, we can't keep most of the people in the Four-Entertainment Group, but we still have to compete for some people and some equipment." The general surnamed Yang said with a smile.

"How do you say it?" The stingy old man browsed.

"If the Four-Tours Regiment wants to be transferred, the marching route can only be to cross the Yellow River, then enter Sichuan from Shaanxi Province, or enter the Fifth War Zone through the war zone from Shaanxi Province. Regardless of which road you take, the marching distance will exceed 2,000 miles.

After such a long march, how could they take away more than 20 heavy artillery they equipped in Zishan? I think it is appropriate to stay in my second war zone.

Moreover, even if the Four Army Corps is transferred, as long as our Second War Zone does not apply to remove the title of Deputy Director of the Ji Nan Administrative Office, whom the regiment serves as the deputy director of the Ji Nan Administrative Office, isn’t the regiment under our Second War Zone?

It turns out that some guard troops belonging to the southern Hebei Administrative Office can still be left behind. Don’t our Second War Zone also have the authority to prepare for the construction of garrison regiment-level troops!" The general surnamed Yang continued.

"Haha! You must be Brother Xingru! This trick is beautiful to play with "stealing dragons and turning phoenixes". "The stingy old man smiled and said, "Since that person wants to dig out the old man's corner, he must first get some wall mats for me, otherwise the wall will fall and I will be crushed to death."

"What? Old Xier Yan actually wanted to keep the 20 heavy artillery of the Four Army Regiment in his second war zone, and add a new Hebei-South Guard Regiment in Zishan. He wanted to 'built the plank road openly to travel to Chen Cang secretly' for me! He was so short-sighted, ignoring the national military strategy!" Minister He from the Ministry of Military Affairs received a telegram from General Bai Shang and slapped him on the desk.

The 20 150 heavy artillery purchased by the Sixing Group from the Mid are a hot commodity. Not to mention the Second War Zone, the Ministry of Military Affairs wants it even more.

At least half of the reason why the 20 heavy artillery was transferred to Central China to the fourth regiment, and the 20 heavy artillery was the opportunity to deploy these 20 heavy artillery in the Central China and the South China defense line.

As a result, the stingy old man was better. The condition proposed was to intercept all these heavy artillery pieces. Who would have to be willing to?

In the fifth war zone, if there are heavy artillery but no heavy artillery, the best thing is that there is no such thing as Raki. General Li values ​​Tang Dao and a group of elite soldiers.

So, the three parties have been raising each other for nearly ten days, constantly negotiating and giving in, and finally reaching a balance recognized by all three parties. The stingy old man finally agreed to let him go.

During this period, except for Commander Xu of the Fifth War Zone, who sent a major general of the Army from the Shancheng Office of the War Zone to visit Tang Dao in person, no one from the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Second War Zone came to ask Tang Dao for his personal opinions.

Therefore, Tang Dao never expected that the time he and the Sixing Group would leave the battlefield in North China would come so quickly and be so unexpected.

"Report!" Tang Dao walked into the quiet building again and stood in front of the office that controls the national military and political power, and reported loudly.

This time, the colonel of the Military Affairs Department was personally welcomed and led the way, but the colonel of the colonel did not enter the secretary's room as usual, but instead sent it to the door and left, which made Tang Dao feel a little surprised.

"Enter!" A low command sound came from inside.

Tang Dao walked into the office, but found that Minister He was not sitting on the chair, but standing in front of the map, and his heart was even more shocked.

"You have done a lot of work in the mountain city during this period, and I see it. You have done a good job!" Minister He saw Tang Dao enter the house, waved to him to come to him, and began to praise him unexpectedly.

"I am just a Chinese. I am a Chinese soldier. I am a Chinese soldier. I am a senior. "Tang Dao, who was alert, would be so confused and answered cautiously.

"Haha! Don't be nervous. Calling you here this time is not a bad thing. On the contrary, it is beneficial to your future." Minister He couldn't help laughing when he saw Tang Dao's serious expression.

"I'll ask you first, what do you think about the current national war situation?" After saying that, he did not continue to follow his words, but instead changed the subject and turned to the national war situation.

"Now the battle between my country and Japan has evolved from the Japanese army's main attack on our country's main defense in the past two years to the tug-of-war. It is entering the strategic policy stage proposed by our country to "accumulate small victories into big victories, and exchange space for time". The situation is much better than the first two years when the war began. I am not knowledgeable at work, and I can only see these. I hope the superior will forgive me." Tang Dao thought for a moment and gave such a broader answer.

"Then you, the Tang delegation, are still modest. Based on this analysis alone, whoever dares to say that your leader Tang University is a little uninformed in his knowledge, may not be able to follow the commander Yan of the Second War Zone or the Commander Xu of the Fifth War Zone." Minister He said with a smile.

"Captain He called Tang Dao to come today, yes..." Tang Dao was so smart, obedient and immediately felt a hint of clue. He was too lazy to go around with this person and asked directly.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "This Ministry of Military Affairs has already prepared an order, look." Minister He was not at all displeased with Tang Dao's directness. He took out a plagiarism from the table and handed it to Tang Dao with a gentle expression.

"Now, 5,065 officers and soldiers under Tang Dao, the commander of the independent Fourth Army Regiment directly under the Second War Zone, came to the Fifth War Zone Command to obey the order and organized it into the Fifth War Zone directly under the garrison regiment. The name of the Four Army Regiment is retained. Considering that the Second War Zone is far away from the Fifth War Zone, with the approval of the Military Commission, the reporting time for the Fourth Army Regiment to arrive in the Fifth War Zone can be extended until before the New Year!" Tang Dao read the content of the military order softly, but his heart was filled with waves.

Although he had expected it when Minister He specifically mentioned the Fifth War Zone just now, when the military order was really in front of him, there was still a fluctuation in his emotions.

Because Tang Dao knew that the battlefields in central China and South China were more complex than those in North China. In a sense, it was the battlefield where China is currently fighting against the enemy.

"They all think that there is nothing to discuss with you, a little army colonel. If you are a soldier, you must follow it if you don't. But I don't think so. Even if you promised me last time, you will obey the orders of the Ministry of Military Affairs. I think it's better for me to tell you personally. If you need an explanation, I can also call the upper level to send a telegram from Commander Xu of the Fifth War Zone to you." Looking at Tang Dao who had been silent for a long time, Minister He said slowly.

"No need, sir, as a soldier, Tang Dao naturally obeys military orders! Our regiment will arrive at the battlefield before the New Year." Tang Dao shook his head, put the order into his shirt pocket, and stood attentively to salute.

Since all the military orders have been issued, the stingy old man in the Second War Zone has never contacted him. It is obvious that he has negotiated with the Ministry of Military Affairs and obtained what he wants. It is useless to say too much.

"Haha! You are not curious about what promises the Fifth War Zone made to the Military Commission in order to get your elite troops, the Fourth Corps, or where did you give you the position of Commander Tang? Commander Li, I have known him for so many years, but I have never seen him be so generous." Tang Dao's attitude obviously satisfied Minister He. He personally poured a cup of tea for Tang Dao and asked with a smile.

"Tang Dao didn't know why he was so favoured by Chief Li. When he was frightened, he thought about it carefully. I was afraid that it had something to do with my eldest brother Zhang. Chief Li knew that my eldest brother Zhang was wise and brave, and Brother Zhang must have given me good words in front of Chief Li during his lifetime." Tang Dao replied.

"Haha! Everyone says that Tang Dao is a madman in Tang and the largest thorn at the level of the Army Colonel. He never thought he would be so humble, but he could speak very much. There is a reason why he is the minister. Commander Li is confident that you will definitely be willing to come to his fifth war zone because there is an enemy who will kill you Brother Zhang there.

Commander Li has prepared for you to be able to play in the fifth war zone, but he has worked hard to prepare for you..." Minister He laughed.

"Sir He, this is also the biggest reason why Tang Dao happily received the order!" Tang Dao nodded, but blocked the words from the smart minister of military and political affairs in his throat.

Although this person who always calls Commander Li, he has no trace of his own shadow. Tang Dao also knew that if he had established a good relationship with this boss, Xu Yiyi, it would be beneficial to the future. However, his mind was no longer on this, but had already flown back to Taihang Mountain.

An hour before he came to the Ministry of Military Affairs, Dan Tai Mingyue had already entered the delivery room and was waiting for delivery. Tang Dao really didn't have much time to talk to the Minister of Military Affairs.

Although the military order came a little suddenly, Tang Dao accepted it quickly, which also means that he could rush back to the north today.

Standing in front of the window and looking at Tang Dao's departure, Minister He's expression behind his golden silk glasses was hard to understand.

If Tang Dao had a condition, he could understand or even accept it, but Tang Dao had no conditions to give it, so he could accept the order without mentioning any conditions, which made the young soldier who had seen all the world completely unable to see through this young soldier.
