Chapter 646 The sound of the wind
Feeling the tenderness from Dan Tai Mingyue, and looking at the soldiers who were still waiting in the trenches outside the command center, Tang Dao's heart gradually calmed down.
The dead are dead, but there are more people alive. They may not be called elites now, but they already have the will of a decisive battle. In the days to come, they will lead more people to fight with them.
In this long war, the Japanese army were killed and injured more until one day, they left with countless small wooden boxes.
Because, this is not only sacrifice, but also victory.
The victory that you earn with your life is extremely precious!
He rubbed his face with his hands for a few handfuls, rubbed the tears and the smoke on his face on his face, and looked back at the subordinates who were standing in place waiting for him.
"Let's go, you guys go with me to visit the wounded soldiers, and then go to the No. 3 Highlands to see!"
"Yes! Sir!" Lei Xiong and his men stood attentively and saluted.
The medical team's resident should be the most closely protected area.
It was a natural cave. Outside the entrance of the cave, not only was an infantry platoon dug out the trenches and guarded closely, but it was also made sufficient camouflage. There was an additional infantry company around it to disperse defenses to prevent sneak attacks by small troops touched by the Japanese army.
Seeing Tang Dao walking over quickly, the soldiers in the trench stood up from the trench and saluted their attention to the commander who created miracles.
That can only be commented with miracles.
There had been news from the front that all the Japanese troops retreated.
It was the Japanese army with nearly 10,000 troops and the Japanese army with planes and cannons to help them, but they were only more than 2,000 people. The only reliance was the position that they had spent a day and a night to build.
Both sides are not on the same level at all, and they are all ready to fight to the death.
But the Japanese retreated, after a day and night of fighting.
If it weren't for Tang Dao's regulations that the rituals could not be paid on the battlefield, the dozens of soldiers here would definitely use the etiquette of the soldiers to express their highest respect for the commander.
Tang Dao nodded to the second lieutenant platoon leader who was running over, waved his hands to the soldiers in the trench to signal everyone to relax, but turned his eyes to a ragged soldier squatting at the entrance of the cave.
The soldier kept holding his head and squatting at the entrance of the cave, as if he had not heard the footsteps of Tang Dao and others walking towards him.
"Why is this stubborn baby still here? You were asking you to take him to rest! What are you doing?" Lei Xiong couldn't help frowning and roared and questioned the infantry platoon leader who stood straight.
"Battleman, it's not that we don't want to! It's because this little guy doesn't do it! Look, he basically didn't eat the canned beef and steamed buns we prepared for him. He has been here since last night and said he would wait for his company commander and his brothers to come out to eat together." The second lieutenant platoon leader explained with a bitter face.
"He didn't even want to lie down the covers I prepared for him, so he insisted on squatting wherever he was!"
Tang Dao had already recognized this thin soldier. The official rifle next to him, which was still covered with a few traces of blood, was handed over to him by himself.
The volleyball leader waved his hand to stop the lieutenant platoon leader from explaining with a little guilty guilt, and strode forward and walked to the Potato.
"Soldier, report your number!"
Tudou, who had been holding his head in grief, heard a familiar voice, suddenly looked up and saw that it was Tang Dao. Tears in his eyes suddenly flowed down. He jumped up and stood up straight: "Report to the commander, Zheng Chaoqian, the second-class 7th Company of the 145th Division of the 23rd Army, reported to you!"
"Very good! I haven't forgotten your number yet. He looks like a soldier. But why did Deputy Battalion Commander Lei order you to rest, but you keep here against your order? I order you to rest immediately." Tang Dao nodded, said with a serious look on his face, and turned to look at the lieutenant platoon leader. "Take him to eat and sleep."
"Sir, I won't go. I'll wait for the company commander and brothers here. If the nurses don't let me in, then I'll wait for them here." But Tudou stood stubbornly.
Tang Dao's face showed anger. This was a violation of orders in front of the formation. No matter what the reason was, it was not allowed.
Zhuang Shisan, who followed behind, tried his best to wink at the stubborn soldier. Although not all of them were killed in battle on the No. 3 Highland, dozens of seriously injured people were alive, but they were either missing arms and legs or having a few big holes on their bodies. None of them were completely complete. This little guy was the only one who was in trouble. If he had been subjected to military law because of a violation of order, it would be too unworthy.
"Sir, I beg you, the brothers of the two infantry companies on the No. 3 Highland are here, and I have to accompany them here. When I live, I feed them water. When I die, I wipe their faces and let them get on the road cleanly. I am just a few brothers." Tudou, who felt Tang Dao's anger, begged.
Tang Dao felt sad again!
Of course he knew the soldier’s mind.
That's because he doesn't want to be lonely! Every time the wounded soldiers who snatched them live, for him, he can have more warmth from his comrades.
That's why he didn't want to leave here.
"I can understand your mood completely, but you also have to trust the medical staff, who will do their best." Tang Dao's face softened again. "And you don't have to leave too far. Just be here, eat something and take a break. I believe that if your brothers wake up, they don't want to see you miserable. Do you think so?"
"Yes, sir!" Tudou's face was filled with tears, and he finally let go and stopped insisting. He stood attentively and saluted Tang Dao.
Tang Dao's face returned to a solemn.
It was over, the soldier violated the military order again. Zhuang Shixuan felt a little distressed.
As the only survivor on Highland No. 3, Zhuang Shisan, the chief of staff, has already figured out how to set him an example, and has prepared him for the promotion to the rank of corps.
Then he knew that he kept making mistakes, and that he was in front of Tang Dao.
But Tang Dao's performance was obviously different from what he imagined.
"You and your comrades have done a good job. Because of your tenacity, we won the battle." Tang Dao suddenly said. "Here, please accept our tribute on their behalf!"
"Salute!" Tang Dao roared softly.
Stand at the attention of the body, a colonel in the army salutes a private of the lowest class.
He deserves it, and his comrades are even more worth it.
After a brief shock, a vote of lieutenant colonels, majors, and soldiers in the trench behind Tang Dao stood up and saluted the at a loss.
After a while, the potatoes, who were saluted by a large number of soldiers, only realized.
It is not that the officers and comrades paid tribute to the soldiers' most noble etiquette, but what Tang Dao just said, victory...
"Sir, we won this battle?" Tudou asked blankly.
"Yes, we won." A smile appeared on Tang Dao's face.
"If it weren't for us who won this battle and the Japanese had retreated, then my salute would be a violation of the rules, right?"
The Japanese army had retreated for more than an hour, but before the Tang Dao was truly announced, no one dared to say victory. The main reason was that the Japanese had cannons. What if the big guys jumped onto the trenches and cheered, what would they do if the Japanese had a cannon?
If it falls before dawn, it is something that Tang Dao doesn't want to see.
So, until he came here, Tang Dao kept suppressing the news of victory without saying that. Now, in order not to allow this soldier to be punished by military law, Tang Dao had to announce it.
Of course, it was just a signal from a scout that the Japanese army had retreated two kilometers away and the threat was completely lifted.
The soldiers here are qualified to enjoy the taste of victory. They exchanged for their blood, including those who are sleeping here forever, they need to hear the cry of victory.
"Sir, have we really won?" The second lieutenant platoon leader next to him was trembling with excitement.
"Yes, we won." Tang Dao nodded.
"Heavy rain, trumpeting the whole army, we won."
The loud trumpet sounded across the hills.
"Win!"
"We won!"
Tudou and the soldiers trembled their lips and repeated nervously.
Perhaps it was because the impact of this news was too great that no one cheered in the trench for a long time, but instead muttered to himself in disbelief.
Until the potato suddenly ran wildly, and ran to an open space outside the trenches, and roared like a wolf in the direction of Highland No. 3: "Seventh Company, brothers from the Ninth Company, have you heard it? We won and beat the Japanese away."
"I won, I won!"
"The devils were defeated!"
The soldiers held their guns, jumped out of the trench, stood on the top of the mountain, roared and shouted at the mountains.
The hissings of dozens of people alarmed the rest of the soldiers. When they were sure that it was from their own people, and they heard the trumpet representing victory, they joined the ranks of crazy roars and victory after a while.
The cheers of more than a thousand people alarmed the two high grounds, hundreds of faces were dirty and even their eyes and eyebrows could not be distinguished. Many of the dark blue jackets were already tattered men, who seemed to be crazy, jumping on the top of the mountain and shouting.
The loud roar of two thousand people exploded among the hills.
They raised their guns high and shouted in the direction of the Japanese army leaving.
Even Dan Tai Mingyue shouted loudly like the soldiers around her.
But this time, she didn't hold a pen, held her Browning, held high towards the sky, her fair face turned red.
A pen cannot defeat the enemy, but a gun can.
Here, the Japanese army failed and sank sand; here, the Japanese army lost their armor; here, the Japanese army returned without success; "I won, but Chen Sanguo and Maziguo, you didn't see it!" Tudou covered his face and cried bitterly.
As they shouted, more people were crying and flowing on their faces.
It is not tears of happiness, but tears of sadness.
When I tasted victory, I lacked the company of many brothers. How sad it is.
They stood here, cheering for victory, while they, lying in the cold mud.
Brother, can you hear it?
We won!
You have to hear it because, you are here, never far away.
The 3rd Highland is silent, but the wind is rushing!
Chapter completed!
