Chapter 778 Secret Arsenal (Part 1)

The main force of the Four-Road Group fell into an incomprehensible carnival because of the news that the leader of the group was engaged.

However, the speed of the entire army did not slow down because of this. Instead, it was like taking a cardiotherapy injection. In one morning, he ran nearly 20 kilometers and arrived near another market.

Then, the whole army built a pot and made rice, and each person had a big bowl of meat, but this was not a daily meal, but a treat from Dan Tai Mingyue and Mr. Dan Tai paid the bill.

It is said that when the middle-aged handsome guy went to the military office to pay the money, he kept silly and sighed that the girl was outgoing!

However, the handsome guy was not reluctant to let go of his face and kept smiling. The old man frowned. The master didn't know, but he knew that the two of them had only one hundred dollars in total, and they had handed over them all. Are the two old men going back to Jiangxia to beg for food?

Logically speaking, Tang Dao and Dan Tai Mingyue's engagement was their private affairs. Even if the entire Sixing Regiment finally won the return of the beauty, he would not be so happy that he could not have had a big banquet for three days.

The ordinary officers and soldiers cheered and slogans, even veterans like Lei Xiong and Li Jiujin who had been through battle for a long time were overjoyed. The veteran who was usually stingy and bleeded even more. He took out the old foundation he had saved and bought five sheep from the village he passed by to send it to the medical team, saying that this was a gift from all the officers and soldiers of his third battalion and the captain Dan Tai Yong.

The last time he attacked the Japanese artillery brigade at night, the veteran who escaped from death was not so willing, so he added a white flour bun for each of the company at dinner!

This actually has a great relationship with the background of this era. China has just transformed from the feudal era, especially for these veterans who have been in the Sichuan Army and the Northeast Army factional army, their fate is basically bound to the fate of the military chief.

As long as the military chiefs do not fail, they will follow the fun and enjoy themselves. That is simply an inherent pattern of the old army.

Tang Dao's previous amazing performance on the battlefield almost ignored that he was only in his early 20s, but that was an objective fact after all.

Age is an advantage, but it can also be a disadvantage.

In the eyes of traditional Chinese people, they value the most. All the characteristics of Tang Dao are extremely excellent. However, if you are too young, you have a high chance of making mistakes, and if you make mistakes on the battlefield, you will be done. This is the hidden worry in the hearts of most soldiers who have gradually matured.

But now, this hidden worry has been completely eliminated.

Although the age is still the same, as long as a person gets married and becomes a husband, he will turn from a boy into a man.

People are still the same person, but men and boys are essentially different, and they have more responsibilities and responsibilities. These may confuse little butterflies from the future, but in this era, they are the most normal understanding.

It is very common for the whole group to be full of joy.

However, the winners of Tang Dao and Dan Tai Mingyue's engagement this time are not just Tang Dao and Dan Tai Mingyue.

For example, Li Jiujin also gained a lot of money.

The five sheep he gave was worth only five o'clock.

The gift is neither generous nor fancy, but it is very in fact. The fresh mutton soup is definitely a great replenishment to the wounded who are sick for a long time. Not only Dan Tai Mingyue won his heart, but even hundreds of wounded soldiers looked at the bold and arrogant Commander Li Da with admiration.

Many wounded soldiers whose old troops had been disbanded were wondering whether they would join the command of the affectionate and righteous Commander Li after their injuries were completely cured in ten days.

Tang Dao's arrangements for the wounded soldiers after they recovered from the injury had long been publicly promised by the medical team that their wounded soldiers were elite soldiers and the wealth of the Four Corps. Given their efforts, Tang Dao specially gave these wounded soldiers a privilege, and they could go to any company they wanted to go to. If there was no position, the company's organization would be expanded and no commander could stop them.

Even if the hands and feet are injured and disabled, the Sixing Group will never abandon them and cannot shoot. The baggage company and the regiment headquarters can still do some simple work. If you are severely disabled and lose your legs, feet or eyes, the Sixing Group will definitely be responsible to the end and will never give him a pension and let him go back to his hometown.

During the warlords' melee, the sad figures of some veterans who were forced to beg for life on the streets were the most heartbreaking scenes for soldiers, and no one wanted to be part of them.

This commitment is not only a comfort to the wounded soldiers, but also a way to stabilize the morale of the entire regiment.

Although everyone didn't know how their commander would raise the seriously injured who had lost both legs and feet, they all firmly believed that their commander could do it.

This kind of trust started when Tang Dao led them to defeat the Sixth Artillery Brigade of the Japanese Army.

Standing on a battlefield full of steel fragments and corpses of Japanese invaders, the surviving soldiers believed from that moment that their commanders were the kind of magical people who could turn the impossible into the possibility.

This concept, as the veterans passed on word of mouth, began to gradually believe the soldiers who joined the army, and entered the bones with the victory again and again on the battlefield.

The gloomy mood of the wounded soldiers was cured by Tang Dao's promise! They also longed to return to the army and go to the battlefield again, and the front-line troops were their best choice.

At this moment, the three newly established infantry battalions are still missing more than 100 people. These veterans who have been injured but survived the disaster and are about to recover from their health are definitely the most popular existences of the heads of each battalion.

After the reorganization a few days ago, the three infantry battalions commanders and the company commanders of the main infantry companies, including several direct company commanders, have all come to the medical team to visit the wounded. Those with old comrades chatting with old comrades, and those without old comrades are nothing. The battalion commanders and company commanders are all famous figures of the Four Corps. Who can ignore them?

As time goes by, the wounded soldiers have also come back to their senses. It turns out that the commanders are recruiting people!

Originally, the wounded soldiers who had the old company to return were not under pressure. When they learned that the wounded soldiers who had been adapted from their company were still thinking about their future destination, they were fine now, so there was no need to worry.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The buyer's market has become the seller's market, and the wounded soldiers still have the right to choose. The five veterans, the five-headed sheep, unexpectedly gained the recognition of many wounded soldiers, which is also a surprise.

Of course, compared to Li Jiujin, who was unexpectedly recognized, the two company commanders who have taken the most advantage among these company commanders Wei Donglai and Cai Yongguan.

These two have been in the medical team since they became famous in the Battle of Mouse Mountain. Hundreds of wounded soldiers have watched with their own eyes how these two struggled to survive on the line of life and death.

Let’s not talk about military achievements for now, just being able to save a life from the King of Hell is a hero!

You know, the entire medical team received hundreds of seriously injured people, and finally, everyone could still talk nonsense, not even half of them.

Almost every morning, I was still talking to everyone in a quiet voice last night, and when the sunlight came, the brothers covered with white sheets on their cold faces were quietly carried away.

That kind of cruelty is even better than a bloody battlefield.

Because of wound infection caused by bacteria, there is no drug to treat symptomatically. If you want to survive, good luck and strong enough can defeat bacteria's willpower are the only two factors.

The two infantry company commanders not only had scarred external injuries, but also had serious internal injuries caused by the shell shock wave. Even the military doctors thought they would die, but miraculously survived.

As the two highest military personnel in the medical team's wounded soldiers, they learned from Tudou that their two infantry companies would be rebuilt from Tudou when they woke up. The two infantry company commanders looked at Xiao Tudou and wanted to cry. In addition to the dozens of seriously injured people who were lying like them, the only one who could move the two infantry companies was a small soldier.

But both of them were also smart enough. After hearing Tang Dao's promise, they directly looked at their wounded brothers. As the saying goes, they got the moon first. As long as they could tell a hundred wounded soldiers to join their infantry company after recovering from injuries, they could also set up the airs of the infantry company.

Especially a few days ago, when the battalion expanded the regiment, many companies were reorganized, and many wounded soldiers were naturally moved. When they returned to the old company, they were familiar with each other, but the positions were not waiting for people. The positions of the squad leader, the squad deputy, and the platoon leader had long been occupied. It would be better to go to the development of two new companies that would definitely be valued.

There were 300 wounded soldiers who were willing to come to Weidong. Cai Yongguan had two infantry companies, plus the original company had about 100 wounded soldiers, and the remaining 200. Most of them were told by the old commander to return to the old company, but more than 30 were moved by the wounded soldiers of Li Jiujin's former infantry company and wanted to go to the third battalion's first company.

More than a dozen infantry companies competed for the veterans who were swaying around the 100 numbers. However, the veteran Youzi won one-third of the wounded soldiers after only paying five sheep. Do you think the veteran Youzi has to be happy?

Of course, it is hard to say whether this effect can last until the wounded soldiers return to the team. Everything depends on the final result, but at least the impression is left behind.

The main force of the Four Lines Regiment was laughing and cheering. Tang Dao and Zhuang Shisan led a cavalry platoon, guard company, and baggage company with thousands of new and veterans, plus hundreds of pack horses and hundreds of large chariots. It was also a mighty and stretched for nearly five miles.

In that situation, a reorganized infantry regiment was marching.

When he was fifty miles away from the outskirts of Xuzhou, Gong Shaoxun came with hundreds of cavalry and dust all the way to meet Tang Dao.

"Report to the commander, Gong Shaoxun, under his post, came to report with a unit of the cavalry company of the Four-Road Regiment!" Gong Shaoxun jumped off his horse and saluted Tang Dao.

Tang Dao and Gong Shaoxun are very familiar with each other. They fought side by side for half a month, but before that, they were affiliated with friendly forces and were temporarily placed under Tang Dao's command, so they were still a little polite.

However, a few days ago, Tang Dao asked Old Comrade Wu to be transferred to the position of deputy to the Second Regiment of the Fourth Army Regiment, and after receiving the transfer order from the Ministry of Military Affairs two days ago, the two officially became colleagues of the same infantry regiment.

What Gong Shaoxun showed at this time was completely the attitude of meeting superiors with his post. This was more like a statement, indicating that he would follow the Tang sword in the future, and did not see him saying "a cavalry company with one" rather than a cavalry company with a report. That was not to ignore the fact that the Sihang Regiment now had only 21 cavalry platoons, even if those cavalrymen were his old subordinates.

Tang Dao smiled on his face.

"Cabinet Company, report to the commander!" After Gong Shaoxun finished saluting, the cavalrymen who were neatly lined up on the road jumped off their horses, held the reins in one hand, and saluted with the other.

Tang Dao was more satisfied with Gong Shaoxun's performance.

This is not so-called slick, but a very wise expression. It is also the deputy of the second regiment that he needs. He has strong enough combat capabilities externally, and can unite everyone internally and not build any small groups.

"Brother Shaoxun, I've been waiting for you for a long time!" Tang Dao also jumped off his horse and returned salute to Gong Shaoxun and the soldiers of the cavalry company who were still holding his right hand.

Then he clasped his hands with Gong Shaoxun. "On behalf of the entire regiment of the Four Corps, I welcome you to serve Brother Shaoxun. Your division of labor has been studied. As the regiment deputy, you will need to be responsible for assisting me in commanding and coordinating military affairs with the battalions and companies in the future. However, considering that you are good at cavalry combat, Brother Shaoxun, you have to work harder and you still personally command the cavalry company to fight! Sanjiang is still young and needs your guidance!"

"Yes! Gong Shaoxun received the order!" Gong Shaoxun nodded solemnly.

The Army Lieutenant Colonel finally put a stone in his heart. He was also a newcomer. Although his position and military rank were promoted, he knew that Tang Dao and the deputy of the First Regiment, Lei Xiong, who was ranked before him, were both people with strong personality and command style. It was not impossible to directly turn him into an optional mascot-like deputy of the Second Regiment.

But Tang Dao's words completely calmed his heart and handed over the command of the most elite cavalry unit to him, which was both trust and recognition.

"Then, where will we go next?" Tang Dao asked.

This is the meeting place that the Four-Road Regiment and the 67th Army Headquarters agreed, but looking at the surrounding wilderness, it doesn’t seem like a place where a large amount of arms can be hidden.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "The arsenal is only ten miles away from here, please follow me." Gong Shaoxun smiled slightly.

On the other side, Lu Sanjiang's cavalry platoon also took the initiative to join the cavalry unit brought by Gong Shaoxun. They were old comrades-in-arms themselves, and they hadn't seen each other for a few months, and they were only more intimate and without any sense of strangeness.

Although Lu Sanjiang was still a little naughty, the second cavalry lieutenant who had been training on the battlefield for more than a month, who had lost the old squad leader grew rapidly. After three days of accidents in the regiment headquarters, Lu Sanjiang took advantage of the opportunity to march with Tang Dao and voluntarily resigned from the position of acting cavalry company commander.

There were indeed many of the cavalry companies that came to visit were his old commanders and superiors. Suddenly, he, the little cavalry, suddenly became their commanders. Those cavalry lieutenants and captains who were much older than him were inevitably uncomfortable.

This is the biggest problem with the newly formed troops. An officer who has been appointed but has older qualifications and good abilities has come. He will inevitably have to adjust his mentality. It is natural that he can adjust well. But if the adjustment is not good, his combat effectiveness will not increase but decrease.

After careful consideration, Tang Dao decided that Lu Sanjiang's rank of lieutenant company remained unchanged, but he would no longer serve as the acting cavalry company commander. Instead, he was transferred to the special squadron as the deputy captain and the cavalry instructor. Like Niu Er, who served as the deputy captain and the shooting instructor, he would mainly train soldiers for at least three months.

The cavalry company commander was continued by the newly joined cavalry cavalry of the 67th Army. This not only showed respect for Gong Shaoxun and the newly joined cavalrymen, but did not treat Lu Sanjiang unfairly.

As we all know, the special squadron is a combat unit that Tang Dao attaches great importance to. Until now, no one has begun to announce the recruitment plan and details. The original guard platoon of the Lao Hei Belt is only temporarily assigned to the special squadron. In addition to the 60 formal organization, there are 60 reserve personnel quotas. Except for the few officers that have been designated, no one knows who will be officially selected in the end.

Just look at Gu Xishui, Niu Er and Heizi, you will know that those who enter the special squadron will be promoted faster than ordinary troops. Being a deputy captain there is no worse than being the chief officer in the cavalry company.

Moreover, the information from the General Staff Department was that Tang Dao would adjust the military pay of each unit under his command after arriving at the destination, and the combat allowances of front-line combat troops would be greatly increased. Naturally, this is also classified into levels, and an elite army like the special squadron is definitely the first level.

After performing this mission, Lu Sanjiang will take a cavalry squad to report to the special squadron and become a special squadron on the horse!

All special forces must also learn to ride horses and ride fast horses!

The team went straight to ten miles away under the leadership of the cavalry.

It was a village called Dalinzhuang, and it is now the base of an infantry regiment of the 49th Army, which is also the Northeast Army.

After Gong Shaoxun’s introduction along the way, Tang Dao learned how this arsenal, which was secretly operated by the Northeast Army for 8 years, kept the secret.

The entire village was actually created by immigrants from the families of Northeast Army.

The land in northern Jiangsu is large but barren, and many places are saline-alkali land that is not suitable for cultivation, so the land is largely abandoned. The Northeast Army sent a wealthy businessman to spend a huge amount of land to the local county government. In the following years, residents continued to migrate from the Northeast and finally built a village with a population of more than 1,000.

When the September 18th Incident broke out, hundreds of thousands of Northeast Army troops lost their original bases and were forced to station in the northwest. This secret arsenal that had only planned for the future was highly valued. After years of continuous filling, the large granary built in this village actually stored up to 8 infantry divisions in the large granary built in this village.

Tang Dao can only say that these warlords are really tyrannical, but they are really good at using steel to the point of using the blade.

It was the battle of Xuzhou. The gathering of Northeast Army had as many as three infantry troops and six infantry divisions, and they were all replaced. There were still equipment of up to 10 infantry regiments, which were just divided into 59th Army and 43rd Army.

As for the Four Army Regiment, even if you try your best, you can swallow two infantry regiment equipment. However, it depends on the inventory of the Northeast Army. If it is not as good as the existing equipment of the Four Army Regiment, Tang Dao plans to install an infantry regiment equipment to rush on the road.

Obviously, Tang Dao underestimated the ability of Lao Zhang, a farmer, to save money, and to underestimated the weapon manufacturing strength of the largest arsenal in China at that time.

At this time, the Jinxi Arsenal under Yan Laoxier, who was known as the top three in China, was awesome. In a battle, three hundred cannons were used to beat the Fifth Division, but it was because the Northeast was occupied, so they barely squeezed into the top three.

To put it bluntly, it was the first one and the second, third and fourth ones.
