Chapter 799: Hard to head north!
With Dan Tai Mingyue, a big killer in the news and media industry, in addition to the blue-faced leader Tang's nose and a squad who was beaten up, the Four Army Regiment did not suffer any major losses on the 20th Division.
However, several commanders of the regiment headquarters were extremely angry about the infantry squad that almost pulled the entire Four-Road regiment down the abyss. After bandaging them that night, Lei Xiong and Gong Shaoxun personally questioned the situation on that day, why they were captured by the 20th Division without a single shot.
As a result, the 89th Division must have received information that the Four Regiment was marching here early, and had already ambushed the elite soldiers in the mountains. And when the infantry squad completely entered the mountainous area, it suddenly appeared.
Four light machine guns and more than one hundred rifles were facing them from all directions, and there were even heavy machine guns on a hill. In addition, the other party was wearing the same military uniform, so they just asked them to put down their weapons for inspection.
Faced with this situation where the strength of the two sides is more than ten times different, the army sergeant, who was the squad leader of the infantry squad, finally chose to put down his weapons and receive the so-called inspection.
He was thinking that even if the name of the Four Lines Regiment was not easy, as a friendly army, he would not do anything to them easily. At most, he would have to trouble the superiors to come and negotiate. It would be better than starting a war, and their entire infantry squad gave their lives in this mountain.
The result was that what the 89th Division wanted was this. The Commander Zhang was an old fox. He carefully studied Tang Dao's battle report and knew that he would not give up his soldiers easily. He just wanted to use these dozen of them as bargaining chips to suppress Tang Dao and bow his head to surrender.
It was a conspiracy that had been planned for a long time, and they were successful in the early stage!
The only thing he probably didn't expect was that Tang Dao was much harder than he thought, and he showed off his muscles and scared him.
War is a treacherous way!
If Tang Dao comes up and starts contacting the 89th Division, he will most likely be led by the 89th Division.
Therefore, Tang Daocai used his own risky moves and used firepower to express his strength and determination. He successfully brought back the completely unfavorable situation a little. At least, he completely crushed the delusions that the 89th Division had before, without bloodshed, and could obtain the delusions they needed.
After asking, Lei Xiong knew that these are really no wonder these ordinary soldiers. They were intentional or unintentional. After all, he underestimated the energy and courage of the 20th Legion.
The soldiers should not take the blame, but should be taken by him.
But given that seven of the soldiers were tortured but signed the materials that accused Tang Dao, this stain made Lei Xiong, Gong Shaoxun, Zhuang Shisan and the other three feel a little embarrassed. Let's deal with it according to military law! To be honest, it is estimated that after this, less than half of them can survive torture.
In the end, he had to hand over the decision to Tang Dao. Tang Dao, who woke up in the morning, first agreed with Master Zhang who was running over and over again, and then dealt with the matter.
It is impossible not to punish, after all, it is a mistake, and it is not good to punish severely. The commander cannot let these soldiers at the bottom of the team bear all the burdens because they underestimated the enemy.
Tang Dao finally gave a penalty decision: Lei Xiong and the second battalion commander Guo Shouzhi were deducted for two months of military pay. The infantry squad was 15 people below the squad leader. After healed, the whole squad went to the baggage company to report, responsible for transportation during the day and training new recruits at night!
Faced with this punishment, the soldiers of the infantry squad were very grateful. After making such a big mistake, the implicated regiment commanders were all bruised and swollen. They originally thought that they would be demoted to the rank of the military or even whipped, but they didn't expect to pay a monthly fee.
As for reporting and training new recruits in the baggage company, it is really not a big deal for these soldiers from hardships. Moreover, when training new recruits, they can find good seedlings and pull them into their own battalion company. If the battalion commander is not properly trained, the company commander will have to reward them!
Only the two lieutenant colonels Lei Xiong and Guo Shouzhi were in distress. Last time, they were fined two of them for half a year of military salary. This time, they came for two months, and they had no money for half a year. They were not like Tang Dao, a bachelor who was full and not hungry. They all had families, and their families were waiting for them to send their military salary back to live!
"Looking at the unpromising appearance of you two, our group will pay the full amount this time. One of you has made great contributions in Cangcheng and the other has killed several Japanese fighter jets in Baihegang. Each of them has to send seventy or eighty oceans! Why, you both are big families, and you have to eat roasted whole lamb in two days?" Tang Dao looked at these two colleagues and was angry at them.
"Then I don't care. Anyway, I'll have no money in the next half year, so I'll have dinner with you!" Lei Xiong heard that the family money was still enough, and his voice was louder.
"Follow me!" Guo Shouzhi had a rare humor.
The group leader laughed loudly, and even Leng Feng, who was cold in daily life, laughed.
Then I finally no longer worry about the obstacle of the 20th Legion, and everyone felt much more relaxed.
However, the intention of guarding others is necessary. Under the arrangement of Tang Dao, the Four Army Regiment repaired in front of Mangshang Mountain for half a day. The entire regiment took the first battalion as the vanguard, and the 2nd Company of the Artillery was the first to enter the mountain area under the escort of the Second Battalion. Then the regiment headquarters, the Special Service Company, the Guard Company, the Cavalry Company, and the Student Company, entered the second group, and finally the Third Battalion, the Battalion Company, the Battalion Company, the First Cannon Company.
After all, the 89th Division fulfilled its promise, opened the line of defense, and let the entire army of the Four Army Corps pass.
After four hours, the entire Four Army Regiment finally crossed the mountainous area with complex terrain at the junction of several provinces and continued to advance to the north.
Tang Dao, whose body was extremely weak due to loss of strength, recovered faster than many people imagined. On the third day, it was basically the same as ordinary people, and there was no big problem with walking.
That also means that Tang Dao no longer needs to lie on the big cart and free up the transportation capacity of a big cart.
At the first moment, Chief of Staff Zhuang allocated a large cart to the medical team for eight wounded people who could not walk by themselves, which could make the guards of the medical team breathe.
It is probably the middle-aged handsome guy who is a little dissatisfied. From this moment on, he has no car to get away from and has to rely on his feet to march with the large army of the Four-Road regiment.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The Sixing Group headquarters issued a military order yesterday. Except for those who have broken legs, they cannot walk, no one in the group can occupy the resources of carriages and horses. As expensive as Dan Tai Yunshu is no exception.
This made Dan Tai Yunshu, who was riding on the cart of his son-in-law, feel very dissatisfied. He took advantage of the car to catch Tang Dao, the initiator of the military order, and said that Tang Dao was a fool with one hundred and five, and almost made him a widow in his life. The engagement between Xiao Kuanbao and Tang Dao, the insane, was a fool for a while.
Tang Dao really felt that he was just a fool at that moment. If he had known that fighting a guard company alone would cause such a chain reaction, he would have to keep his health even if he beat him to death. At least he would have to make sure his legs were good!
I wanted to escape, but I couldn't escape! This was the tragic situation of Commander Tang that day.
Dan Tai Mingyue, who took the time to visit Tang Dao, could only silently express that she could not help her. Who asked you to issue a military order to make the middle-aged handsome guy measure the earth with his legs from now on?
More importantly, it was just a few days after getting engaged. Is it a bit like breaking the bridge? My father-in-law, who is used to being pampered, isn't happy and talking to you a few words?
Looking at the fiancée who lost his own self-righteous look and ran away, as well as Teacher He who smiled and teased, Li Jiujin and his group of guys who were smiling but didn't even give him a cigarette, Tang Dao gritted his teeth and chatted with the handsome middle-aged man.
If we bypass military affairs, just Tang Dao's little knowledge is not only known as "Why do I often have tears in my eyes, because I love this land deeply!" and other poems and future directions that are familiar to future people, his future little butterfly is really not comparable to his father-in-law who has been well-read poetry and books since childhood and has traveled thousands of miles.
But fortunately, Tang Dao is a young man. Compared with this era nearly a hundred years ago, Tang Dao is fresh and worthless.
"My friend is here, there is good wine. If the jackal comes, there will be a hunting rifle to welcome it!" The song Tang Dao hummed casually made Dan Tai Yunshu's eyes lit up.
Throughout the afternoon, the middle-aged handsome guy was learning to sing the song "My Motherland". Not to mention, the melancholy temperament of the middle-aged handsome guy, coupled with his mature and vicissitudes of the voice, sang the sentence "This is my beautiful motherland, where I grew up!", which really tasted a little. Although the soldiers walking beside him were sweating, they couldn't help but hum gently with his rhythm!
Relying on his "talent", Tang Dao escaped and persisted until the next day. Tang Dao, who had recovered some strength, fled from the cart. He couldn't do it with the whole army. Seeing that his son-in-law, who was carrying two rifles like an ordinary soldier, Dan Tai Yunshu no longer complained.
After all, his future son-in-law didn't let him be a porter, so he carried a small bag on his back and was already very considerate.
The transportation capacity of the Four Lines Regiment has become saturated. Starting from the secret warehouse of the Northeast Army, the equipment of the two infantry regiments has actually been unable to lift the heads of the Four Lines Regiment's baggage troops.
Not to mention the pack horses, the equipment carried by the chariot has reached its limit, and the load of a single soldier alone reaches 30 kilograms or more. Such a load may be OK for a day, two days and three days, but if you want to march for a long distance, it will cause you to be exhausted.
But as the saying goes: God closes a door for you and will open a window for you!
The accident of the 89th Division suddenly occurred, blocking the Four-Ship Regiment on the marching road for several days, not only did it say that it consumed 2,000 shells of various types and 100,000 machine rifle bullets. It seemed that it caused considerable losses to the Four-Ship Regiment, but it unexpectedly saved a lot of transportation capacity for the Four-Ship Regiment.
At least ten large trucks and 20 pack horses were freed out, which made the company commander of the logistics company, who was still in the agency period, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It is a good thing to have a lot of materials and equipment, but if you exhaust yourself during the march, it will be more than worth the loss.
So from the beginning, Tang Dao used a fishing style to squeeze the transportation capacity of the baggage troops completely. Zhuang Shisan and the company commander of the baggage company expressed different opinions, but they were rejected by Tang Dao. He would rather be the leader of the regiment and he would carry dozens of kilograms of equipment and his mount turned into a pack horse. The majestic cavalry company that he had finally formed was dismounted and turned into a transport team.
That's because they don't know how scarce the northern supplies will be, especially the equipment.
But Tang Dao knew that the troops that swore to send troops in northern Shaanxi had a desire for equipment.
According to the war history records of the 129th Division stored in the Military Museum, as one of the three main divisions of the 18th Army, on September 30, the 129th Division swore a swearing battle in Zhuangli Town, Fuping County.
In order to defend the border area, the 129th Division left a main infantry regiment and a brigade of 385th Brigade. The main force of the 129th Division who headed to the North China Anti-Japanese Front was 9,367.
And what about the equipment of this more than 9,000 people who almost represent the highest combat power of the 18th Army? Tang Dao, who watched the war history records with his own eyes, was extremely sad at the time.
At that time, the 129th Division had a total of 3,412 rifles, 724 rifles, 43,012 rifles, and 43,012 rifles, and only ten rounds per rifle; 539 mullets sounded quite a lot, but only 2,872 bullets, and only 5 rounds per gun; 93 pistols and 3 Borgman submachine guns, with a total of 6,051 bullets, with an average of 63 rounds per gun; 93 light machine guns, 27,361 bullets, and an average of 294 rounds per machine gun; 29 heavy machine guns, 23,222 bullets, and an average of 801 rounds per heavy machine gun; 6 mortars, 67 shells, and an average of 11 rounds per gun; the entire division had cloth caps and no helmets, and also had hundreds of grenades and dozens of bayonets, which were only elite soldiers qualified to be equipped.
Tang Dao still remembers that there was also a major staff officer in the headquarters of a certain army group. The one who obviously hadn't been on the front line before, asked the commentator: "I don't even have a bayonet. How did our army fight with the Japanese army at that time?"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Facing the commentator's puzzled and contemptuous gaze, the old professor who led the team was furious and asked the nerd to return to the military academy to be imprisoned for two days.
Who said that if there is no bayonet, you can't fight with hands-on? There are more than 9,000 guns in total, and the remaining 4,000 people are bare-handed? The troops formed from scratch may be poorly equipped, but they never lack the determination to defend their ideals.
The big sword and spear, as well as the red tassel spear developed using natural materials after arriving in the mountains, are the standard features of every soldier!
Whether it is an ambush or a tough battle, the infantry will have to charge after three shots. For hand-to-hand combat, they prefer hand-to-hand combat to show their bravery. It is not to show how high their military power is, but there are no bullets for them to consume.
The only thing that can be consumed is human life!
Just like the 115th Division, which became famous in the battle, effectively surrounded more than a thousand people in a baggage brigade of Itagaki Division with its superior forces and superior terrain. Moreover, on the periphery, two infantry regiments blocked the Japanese reinforcements of the unit. Logically speaking, these more than a thousand Japanese troops were not only turtles in the jar, but could also chew and swallow them all like beasts eating. But the real situation was not like this.
First, although the Japanese army was only the second-line soldiers of the Itagaki Division, their real combat power was not weak; second, the core reason was that the ammunition of the 115th Division was not enough to allow them to cover the remaining Japanese troops with firepower little by little like the Battle of the Four-Royal Regiment in the Gold Pit.
They had to rush over and use hand-to-hand combat to solve this extremely successful ambush. Judging from the ending, they wiped out more than a thousand Japanese invaders, which was extremely successful.
However, the loss of war caused several heavy generals of the 115th Division who had experienced countless storms and looked solemn. The loss of war was actually a shocking 1 to 1.
This is the current situation of the northern battlefield. It is not as fast as the southeast battlefield, but it is not inferior to the tragic level.
Tang Dao knew that every time he brought one more bullet, he might be able to survive one more soldier. Those veterans were all elite soldiers who rushed through the gates of hell.
Therefore, Tang Dao would rather be exhausted than transport the equipment that can be transported to the north as much as possible. The four-line team replaced the Zhongzheng style, the Type 38 rifle, even the old sleeves, bird guns, and single shots, Tang Dao was reluctant to throw them away, so he brought them all with him.
Therefore, after negotiating with the 89th Division to pass their defense zone, the officers and soldiers of the 89th Division located on the mountain were surprised to find that the elite infantry regiment that had knocked off a few inches of the hill with cannons and various machine guns and grenade launchers the day before, which was a little different from what they imagined.
What they imagined was that the officers and soldiers of the Four Lines Regiment were all energetic, lined up with guns and sang military songs neatly and majestic.
They guessed a lot, and they did carry guns in a neat manner, but it was indeed a bit too difficult to get them to sing military songs.
Each soldier of the Four Army Regiment carried at least two rifles on his body. The ammunition belts on his body were all filled with bullets, and there were also bullet bags and at least six grenades. He wore a steel helmet on his head and a quilt on his backpack behind him.
Just looking at this weight is so terrible!
Because they knew that the troops in front of them were not going to be involved in the upcoming battle of Xuzhou, but to cross a long journey of two thousand miles to the northern battlefield. They would have to march for at least 33 days every day with such heavy equipment on their backs every day, which was unimaginable.
Moreover, the troops equipped in this way are not 1,200, nor 1,200, but the whole regiment is like this!
Until he saw the four teams similar to the baggage team disappear from his eyes, an army major sighed with a serious expression: "Fortunately, we did not go to war with them!"
The several lieutenants around him asked questions without curiosity, because only veterans like them knew why their major battalion commander sighed like this.
What is scary about the Four-Round Group is not how good the equipment is, the ammunition reserve is rich, but what is scary is its spiritual will.
Those who dare to march with such a long distance with a load will not be able to reach their destination without sufficient spirit and a strong body.
But in fact, the Four Army Regiment is not as strong as they thought. In addition to 2,000, there are also soldiers who can fight. There are 500 new recruits recruited in Xuzhou and 300 students. These 800 people are the biggest shortcomings of the Four Army Regiment. If they really want to fight, they can abide by military orders and not run around, thank God.
Therefore, this difficult long-distance marching with a load of more than 20 kilograms was not only a test of the will of the elite soldiers of the Four Lines Regiment, but also a training subject arranged by Tang Dao for these new recruits.
When recruits join the army, the first thing they test is not the queue that obeys orders, but their perseverance and will!
Even Tang Dao himself didn’t know how many people could pass the assessment, especially those student soldiers!
