Although the theater headquarters is only 200 kilometers away from the Dakouzi Cave station, the return time is longer than that of the group who crossed two provinces.

The mountain road is rugged and it is in the war zone. The convoy is much slower than Sichuan and Shaanxi.

Finally, before sunset on the second day of crossing the Yellow River, the convoy met with a cavalry company that came to greet him. Four hours later, under the escort of hundreds of cavalrymen, Tang Dao stepped into the gate of the garrison.

"Brothers, wait first, and let me go and see my wife and children before drinking and having fun with you!" Tang Dao and Lei Xiong, who had been waiting for him for a long time, met the battalion company commanders, saluted each other, and then threw a word and ran towards his own cabin.

Everyone laughed and didn't care about Tang Tuanzu's behavior of "abandoning brothers and ignoring" it was Tang Tuanzu's true nature!

The regiment headquarters obviously increased its vigilance against the residential areas of senior officers. Not only were there many open posts, but after walking into the path leading to his wooden house, Tang Dao clearly felt at least three groups of secret posts turned his attention to him.

According to such a warning intensity, there may be no less than 30 secret whistles deployed in this area alone. Although some laborers mobilized, Tang Dao could still feel the painstaking efforts of his brothers.

When he walked to the gate of the yard, he pushed open the small wooden door. Tang Dao tried his best to make his steps lighter, and then he saw that the door of the wooden house was pushed open. Mrs. Yue, no, now he should be called Mrs. Leng, and walked out of the door with a pile of fabric.

First, he was surprised to see that it was Tang Dao.

Tang Dao sent a telegram before leaving Shancheng, and estimated that he would return around the 8th. This was the 6th day of sending the telegram. Judging from his dusty clothes, it was obvious that he had been working day and night to save nearly two days of time.

No one came to inform Dan Tai Mingyue, so I'm afraid I'm going to surprise her.

As a veteran, Mrs. Leng admires men like Tang Dao very much. She talks about various principles of defending the country every day, but ignores her own wife and children. Is that another kind of cold-blooded and selfish?

Looking at Tang Dao's light-hearted look, Mrs. Leng smiled slightly: "The child will not wake up easily when he sleeps. You, a father, don't have to look like you are facing a great enemy. I'll take these diapers back and wash them and dry them tomorrow and take them over."

"I'm sorry, sister-in-law, I'll treat your family to dinner tomorrow!" Tang Dao hurriedly thanked.

"Sister, is Mingjing here? Tell him, I'm going to take Shanhe to sleep, I'll talk about anything tomorrow." Dan Tai Mingyue in the room heard the movement at the door and shouted softly.

Mrs. Leng smiled and looked at a group of people who were surprised by her wife, and turned around and left.

Tang Dao gently walked into the room, took off his steel helmet, took off his upper military uniform, and then walked into the bedroom.

"Mingjing, you have..." Dan Tai Mingyue, who was half lying on the bed, twisting her body, her face feeling quite unhappy.

This little guy Tang Shanhe has been crying for some reason today. It took him a long time to fall asleep. If this unreliable uncle wakes him up, Dan Tai Mingyue, who is also a new mother, feels that she must be crazy, and her tone will naturally not be good.

As soon as he turned around, he saw her husband standing in front of him with an apology. Dan Tai Mingyue was stunned for a moment.

"Why are you here two days in advance? Thank you for your hard work along the way! Are you hungry? I'll cook a bowl of noodles for you?" Dan Tai Mingyue looked at her husband in surprise and joy.

"Mingyue, I'm sorry!" Tang Dao looked at his wife's tired look, and couldn't help but feel ache in his heart. He gently hugged Dan Tai Mingyue who was sitting up.

"You, I, husband and wife are one, how can there be so many people who are worthy of being sorry? Shanhe is your son, not my son, and it is my responsibility to give birth to him and raise him." Dan Tai Mingyue felt her husband's body temperature and her heart was full of sweetness.

With her intelligence, how could she not know that her husband returned two days early? I don’t know how many nights she traveled through the stars and the moon.

The couple hugged each other and felt each other's body temperature. The little baby in the cradle seemed to feel that he was ignored by his parents showing their love, and frowned and moved his fists.

"You father, you haven't held our son yet! You see, he is not happy." Dan Tai Mingyue turned her head and saw the baby's little brows frowning in her sleep, and couldn't help but smile.

"Yes, yes, I'll hold my stupid son. This is too unreasonable. Looks like my wife is tired and she loses weight." Tang Dao nodded repeatedly and turned his head over.

"No, our son will not be stupid. He will inherit his father's courage and wisdom." Dan Tai Mingyue pretended to be angry and patted her husband gently, looked down at the baby, and said softly: "I said this little guy couldn't sleep no matter how hard he coaxed him today. It turned out that he felt that his father was coming back. Do you want to see him? Little Mountain River!"

Tang Dao was the first time he was a father in his past and present. I don’t know what it felt like to be a father, but when he carefully and a little helplessly hugged the fragile little guy in his hands, it was like holding an extremely expensive porcelain, afraid that his rough big hand would stab him, Tang Dao finally confirmed that this was his son.

The little baby, who has been born for 8 days, looks very cute. Although he is white and fat, he still has the shadow of his parents in his appearance.

In terms of face shape, Tang Dao and Dan Tai Mingyue both have square face shapes, but Tang Dao is tough and bright, while Dan Tai Mingyue is a heroic and bright type, and the eyebrows and eyes are even more beautiful that can only be described in the poem "Water is the horizontal eye waves, and mountains are the gathering of eyebrows and peaks".

The little baby has not many eyebrows and his eyes are closed, but there is a shadow of his mother between his eyebrows and eyes. He will definitely be more handsome than his father when he grows up.

Perhaps because he was held in his father and didn't smell the mother's smell, the little baby's little hands were gently dancing outside the cradle. Tang Dao looked interesting and put his fingers in it, and was held by the little hand like this.

The little hand was soft and a tiny feeling poured into Tang Dao's chest, and Tang Dao's eyes suddenly became wet.

This is his son!

Seeing her husband, who was cheerful and even a little uncontrollable on the battlefield, was so tender that he was as tender as water, Dan Tai Mingyue felt warm and gently hugged her husband's waist.

The beautiful wife was on the side, and the child was full of her arms. This may be a rare happy moment in Tang Dao's life. Looking at the child's delicate little face, Tang Dao could no longer help it and leaned forward and kissed him gently. The stubble that had not been shaved for nearly a week stabbed the child's face.

Tang Shanhe, who was stinging, opened his eyes suddenly and burst into tears, which scared Tang Dao, and the sweat on his forehead came down: "What's wrong, what's wrong!"

Tang Dao dares to say that this is an unprecedented dilemma. Even if he traveled through the Songhu battlefield that day, he found himself in a desperate situation that was almost certain to die, he was not as clueless as he is now.

Why did my son cry? How could he not cry? The novice father was really confused!

"You're not sleeping well after being tied with your beard! What else can I do? Could it be because I don't like your father's hug!" Seeing her husband's helpless look in her crying, Dan Tai Mingyue couldn't help but feel a little funny. She opened her arms and took the child, and shook it gently.

Tangshanhe, who smelled his mother again, regained a sense of security. His crying sound became much smaller, but in just a few dozen seconds, he fell asleep again.

"This little guy scared me and sweated!" Tang Dao let out a sigh of relief, watching his wife put the child on the bed and patted her to comfort her, and lowered her voice. "Mingyue, go to bed first, don't wait for me, the military meeting tonight may be held until very late."

"Is there a new task? Then you go, I'll wait for you, just read Mr. Lu Xun's article!" How well did Dan Tai Mingyue know Tang Dao? As soon as he saw his expression, he knew that it must be a military mission issued by the theater level. Otherwise, the characteristic of Tang Dao's Taishan being pressed down on the top without changing color would not have been held overnight as soon as he came back.

"The Four Army Regiment will be transferred from the Second War Zone to the Fifth War Zone to fight. The Dakouzi Cave Base is retained and the Zishan Defense Zone is retained. Some of our main forces will still be in southeastern Shanxi and southern Hebei. This place has become a mature base. The defense measures and mass base are good. There will be no major problems in terms of safety. All the families of the accompanying army will stay here. You must be mentally prepared." Tang Dao took a deep breath and said to his wife briefly.

Dan Tai Mingyue's face changed. Of course she knew what Tang Dao meant, that was that she hoped that she would continue to stay in the southeastern Jin station with her children. From then on, the couple would have to be separated from each other.

Looking at the depression flashing in his wife's eyes, Tang Dao felt ache in his heart, but he was helpless. In the face of the cruel war, he was still small. For the sake of the safety of his children, leaving his wife and children in southeastern Jin was his only choice at present.

He gently hugged Dan Tai Mingyue, reached out and touched Tang Shanhe's delicate little face again. Tang Dao turned around and went out to pick up his military uniform and helmet and left home.

Here, he is his husband and father, but when he walked out of the house, he was the commander who commanded tens of thousands of officers and soldiers. In the huge cave dug out of the mountains three miles away, his closest comrades were waiting for him.

All members of the Sixing Group's headquarters except Gong Shaoxun were there. After receiving the news that Tang Dao was about to return from Shancheng, Ye Chenghuan, the director of the Political Department in Zishan, and Shangguan Yun, the chief of staff, also returned to the station the day before yesterday.

Lei Xiong, Ye Chenghuan, Shangguan Yun, Zhuang Shisan, Guo Shouzhi, Leng Feng, two infantry battalion commanders, artillery battalion commander Pang Dahai, air defense battalion commander Cheng Tiexhou, deputy battalion commander of the escort battalion, and all infantry company commanders at the garrison were waiting in the combat conference room.

It was a great joy to return without any harm to the regiment, but after Tang Dao and the Cavalry Company met, the cavalry notified the regiment headquarters to convene all the company commander-level and above military meetings at the garrison. These soldiers who were familiar with Tang Dao's temperament immediately knew that there was another major task.

For these iron-blooded soldiers who have experienced strong winds and waves, they have all fought with several Japanese A Divisions. What other military tasks can scare them? The atmosphere of the military meeting of the Four-Ring Corps has always been very active.

But obviously the solemnity that Tang Tuan showed this time was slightly different from the past. Even Li Jiujin, who loved to make jokes, became a little silent. After waiting for Tang Dao to come home to visit his wife and children for half an hour, this guy and Cai Dao killed half a pack of cigarettes, and the others smoked a lot. The air in the entire conference room was blue.

Tang Dao, who walked into the conference room with big strides, almost didn't make a big fuss.

Seeing Tang Dao come in, everyone stood up and saluted! Tang Dao was still sharp, glanced around and smiled on his face: "What's wrong with this today? The atmosphere is a bit heavy! Commander Jiujin, you didn't get my cigarette, why would you still be willing to throw a cigarette butt on the floor? Is it the food and supplies that Commander Big Dao provides you with!"

"It must be the leader of the group to be a god! Lao Li is not smoking his own cigarette anyway. The key is that he catches me, the sheep. You come later. Not to mention the hair, you can even get the skin by Lao Li." Cai Dadao said with a big mouth.

The audience burst into laughter and the atmosphere instantly became warm.

"Okay, my group has new tasks, but it's no big deal. I've been away in the past few months, and although there are telegrams, I want to listen to the newly appointed Koji Okamura who has made those small moves." Tang Dao waved his hand and sat down first.

It can be said that the tone of the meeting was set first, listened to reports from various departments in the past few months, and then issued an order. Seeing that Tang Dao was not particularly concerned, the heart that everyone was hanging was completely relieved.

Tang Dao left southeastern Jin in May, and it is now early September. It took almost four months to go, and the war in North China has not changed any new changes.

Koji Okamura, who has been the commander of the North China Front Army of Japan, has seemed too calm in the past few months. The Japanese army located on the front line of Nakajoyama launched an attack of no more than 50,000 people. China dispatched two armies to fight the enemy for a total of about 100,000 people. The entire battle ended in less than 10 days, and there were not many casualties on both sides. The Chinese side counted about 7,000 people.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! The Japanese army guarded the cities and transportation lines in the southeast of Jin, and had never gathered troops to do anything to mobilize them. They played the routine of not violating the rivers with the Chinese army in the Taihang Mountains. Seeing that the Japanese were so honest, the Chinese army in the southeast of Jin was quit.

The Eighty Army launched more than 30 attacks on the traffic line in a row. The Japanese army's baggage carriage was not escorted by an infantry brigade, and basically did not dare to pass. The Handan-Chang Highway became a dead end for Japanese baggage troops. Faced with this completely provocative attack, the Japanese troops of the 108 and 109 divisions actually chose to hang high-level battle-free signs and did not make a decent counterattack.

In the three main bases of southern Hebei, northern Hebei and eastern Hebei, the Japanese army first dug deep trenches around the city and built bunker groups. It seems that they are more defense than attack.

"Okamura Koji should be a turtle. He has been in office for almost half a year. He is either building a bunker or on the way to build a bunker. If you have the ability, I can see that he can cover the bunkers throughout North China." Cai Dadao made a summary after Shangguan Yun reported to Tang Dao almost.

The audience burst into laughter again.

More than 80% of the officers of the Four Lines Regiment did not take this former commander of the 11th Army of the Japanese army seriously.

Only Tang Dao and a few people didn't laugh.

"Don't underestimate Okamura Koji. He is stabilizing the morale of the army and conducting experiments. The big sword company commander, your guess is probably what Okamura Koji imagined." Tang Dao shook his head and said.

In time and space, Duotianjun invented the famous cage tactic. The specific operation was: first send troops to seize several tactical key points (such as county towns, important villages and transportation hubs) and build strongholds there. The periphery of each stronghold, and then build multiple satellite-shaped artillery towers at a certain distance (500 meters or 1,000 meters), and then build a dense highway between the strongholds and artillery towers to form several ring lines. Once a certain artillery tower is attacked, adjacent artillery towers and strongholds will immediately come to reinforce.

In order to implement this "cage policy", the Japanese invaders repaired it within one year, built 2,347 kilometers of railways and 15,600 kilometers of highways, and built 2,479 artillery towers and strongholds, thus gradually dividing the anti-Japanese bases behind the enemy such as Shanxi, Chaji and Hebei into small pieces that were not connected, in an attempt to make the 80th Army lose its mobility due to reduced room for maneuvering until it is eliminated or withdrawn.

In order to break this "cage", the Eighty Army concentrated more than 200,000 troops to launch a 100-regiment war on the land of North China, and removed the Zhengtai Railway and other transportation lines and artillery towers along the line one by one, annihilated more than 25,000 Japanese and puppet troops.

Duotianjun was dismissed from get out of class because of his own failure. However, his successor Okamura Koji did not overturn this seemingly failed tactic, but instead made a new upgraded version of the "Iron Wall Encirclement" tactic based on this.

To put it bluntly, more than 7,700 new bunkers were built in less than a year.

What's even more cruel is that this person divided North China into "security zones" (i.e., enemy-occupied areas), "quasi-security zones" (i.e., guerrilla zones that are fought for by our enemies), and "non-security zones" (i.e., anti-Japanese base areas behind enemy lines), and implemented the "clearing of the countryside", "eating" and "sweeping" policies respectively; especially the "big sweep" of "station and clearing" against Japanese base areas, and implemented the extremely cruel "three lights" policy of burning, killing and robbing them.

Under this tactic, the base area shrank significantly and suffered huge losses. The entire North China land became a hell on earth where "look up and see the guardhouse, stepping up the road, and there is no filial piety in every village, and there is smoke everywhere."

In terms of insidiousness and cunning, Okamura Koji is definitely the most commander of the North China Front Army of Japan. You can not be afraid of him, but even Tang Dao, you must not underestimate him, otherwise you will pay a heavy price.

The whole audience was quiet.

"If we and the Eighty Army don't have artillery, this kind of turtle shell is really a problem, but now! As long as the old Japanese devils of Okamura have money to repair, how many I can do to repair it, I will see if he is expensive for the bunker or his shells are expensive." Tang Dao said again.

If Okamura Koji still had the same trick as in time and space, the current Four Lines and Eighty Army will not be afraid.

The former 80th Army was at a loss by Okamura Koji because his entire army only had a small number of mountain cannons, not even a lot of 82. Naturally, there was no way to use bunkers and artillery towers built with steel and concrete.

Now, not to mention the equipment of the Four Army Regiment, the 92 infantry artillery captured by all units of the Eighty Army and the 37mm war defense artillery eliminated by the Four Army Regiment are all hard guys who can penetrate steel plates. If they are closer to the 200-meter shelling, the Japanese army wants to withstand the bunker alone, that is really a frog on the toad---ugly and playful!

Really, just the elite group of the Eighty Army can pose dozens of fancy poses in the Japanese infantry squad in the bunker.

Everyone is happy again!

"I will read a transfer order..." Tang Dao stood up and took out the transfer order with the seal of the Ministry of Military Affairs to read it.

Now I’m changing the war zone? The officers of the Four Lines Regiment looked at each other, and it felt that it was no big deal.

For these soldiers, whether in North China, Central China or South China, isn’t it just a different place to fight the Japanese?

But the next sentence from Tang Tuanzhao calmed the audience and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.
Chapter completed!
