"Sir, if it weren't for the help of this dog, I wouldn't have been able to kill the Japanese so easily. Moreover, I think dogs' hearing is far better than that of humans. If the Japanese want to play tricks, maybe they can remind us."
Tang Dao stood at attention and answered.
The reason is simple, but hard to refute.
"In that case, it's up to you!" The Army Lieutenant Colonel glanced at Tang Dao, who had a serious expression, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he waved his hand gently. "You go to the company with Commander Shangguan first, and by the way, you can get familiar with your company.
Colleagues, come to the headquarters with the company commander in twenty minutes to discuss matters."
After getting what he wanted, Shangguan Yun Dale said: "Haha! Come on, Platoon Commander Tang, I will take you to get to know your new brothers."
The remaining school officers and lieutenants all looked strange.
In such a life-and-death battlefield, it was okay to allow Tang Dao to take in a wild dog as a child's play, but it was too surprising to allow an acting platoon leader like Tang Dao to participate in a military meeting.
You know, according to convention, those who are qualified to participate in the military meeting of the regiment, in addition to the second-in-command of the major battalion commander, are the four captains and company commanders, but there has never been a second lieutenant level, let alone a newcomer like Tang Dao, even if he
Very strong, able to kill a Japanese squad with one person alone.
The military is a very special group that respects the strong. Tang Dao has proven his strength with facts, so he was absorbed and accepted.
But acceptance and absorption does not mean that he can quickly enter the decision-making level. The always cautious army lieutenant colonel who was born in Huangpu once again surprised his subordinates who were familiar with him with his almost exaggerated regard for Tang Dao.
Watching Tang Dao, Lei Xiong and others disappear outside the door, and glancing at a few of his capable subordinates who had strange expressions but did not speak, the lieutenant colonel of the army smiled faintly: "Do you think that the arrangement I just made was a little inappropriate?
?”
There was silence, and looking at the eyes of the other three captains looking at him, Yang Ruifu, the second most important person among the more than 400 people of the 524th Regiment here and the major and commander of the first battalion of the 524th Regiment, said with a wry smile: "Regiment Deputy
, with Tang Dao's skills, he is worthy of being the leader of a platoon. But when he just joined our army, I asked him to participate in our army's tactical layout meeting. It was not because I was worried about his background, but because I was afraid of those who were with us.
My old brothers are dissatisfied!"
This sentence did not mince words. It stated the concerns of several people present very directly. Shangguan Yun definitely didn't care. As his direct subordinate, it was also his honor for Tang Dao to participate in the highest meeting of the regiment. But the Second Company
What about the three machine gun companies?
Which of those veteran platoon leaders of the company didn't the commander just say a word and lead the charge with a submachine gun? After several years of holding the rank of second lieutenant, there were even some who were lieutenants. As a result, they were not qualified to participate in a military meeting, but Tang Dao was allowed to
The newcomers stole the limelight. Even if they had no objection to obeying military orders, they couldn't resist the encouragement of the squad leaders below!
You know, what is most important in the army is strength! It is honor! Tang Dao, who has just arrived, has become the number one platoon leader with just one military merit. It's a shame that the officers and soldiers of the other companies have no objections.
"Oh! Is there anything else?" The Army Lieutenant Colonel looked at the other three people, their faces dim under the dim light in the room.
"Second, sir, the war is about to begin. Don't let such a trivial matter upset the platoon commanders of the other companies and lower their morale!" the commander of the second company said immediately.
"Short-sighted!" Seeing that the other two people nodded slightly in agreement, the Army Lieutenant Colonel scolded him. He walked to the window with his hands behind his back, pointed at the brightly lit concession on the other side, sighed slightly and asked: "Do you know that one of our troops is no good?
What’s the real reason why hundreds of people were left alone but were personally ordered by the theater headquarters to hold on to the Jedi in Sihang Warehouse?”
"Didn't the division headquarters order us to stay for seven days to cover the retreat of the main force of the division?" Yang Ruifu was stunned for a moment.
As the commander of the 1st Battalion, he led his troops to defend the Zhabei forward position for two months, sacrificing almost half of his brothers. When he received the order to withdraw, he was extremely reluctant. When the division headquarters called and told him to evacuate to Sihang Warehouse, he
He was very happy when a battalion held out for seven days to cover the retreat of the entire army. Even though he knew that this battle was very likely to result in the death of him and all his men.
Only those who have experienced the battlefield understand that when they see again and again those brothers who used to sleep in the same pot and sleep on the same bed with them day and night, just fall under the enemy's artillery fire and bullets, with their blood staining the ground, their faces red.
What will happen to their mentality when they become sallow and can no longer lift themselves up or cry out to wake up.
Death is actually not that scary. What they fear is not being able to defend the position where their brothers paid their lives. If possible, they would rather trade their own death for inner peace.
Yes, life is precious, and behind them there are many parents, wives and children who are looking forward to their return home. But when these two choices are put in front of them, many soldiers will choose the latter without hesitation, rather than settle for nothing.
alive.
Those who sacrifice themselves in exchange for even a glimmer of victory may not be considered heroes in the eyes of many people, but there is no doubt that they are true warriors.
Those who can enter this warehouse are all warriors.
But in war, the most tragic people are actually the soldiers.
For both warring parties, all soldiers are just pawns on the big shot's chessboard. Their fate is not actually controlled by them, even if they are sacrificed.
The nearly one million soldiers on the Songhu battlefield will appear in the future history books of the two countries, whether they are alive or dead, in fact, they will be nothing more than a series of cold numbers.
Therefore, even though he was the commander of a battalion of hundreds of people, Yang Ruifu did not know the political significance behind the battle at Sihang Warehouse.
"In this war, Songhu's prosperity was completely destroyed and everything was devastated. However, the concessions were able to enjoy singing and dancing, but our land of China was kept peaceful by foreigners. It is really a shame for our soldiers!" A deep sadness appeared in the eyes of the Army Lieutenant Colonel.
"And we are going to fight this battle to show them, the people of Songhu who stayed in the concession, and the entire Chinese people. We want to tell the whole of China and the whole world that Songhu did not fall, because
We are still here.”
The Army Lieutenant Colonel suddenly looked back, with a trace of blood in his eyes, and roared: "You know? From the moment I received the order, I was already prepared to die, because this is Songhu's last position!
Not just because there is no way out."
Looking at the solemn figures of several subordinates, the Army Lieutenant Colonel's voice became calmer: "This is the grave where I thank someone! But before I thank someone for dying, the Japanese have to pay a sufficient price."
"Now, do you understand? If we want to kill enough Japanese before they die, we need strong soldiers, not so-called qualifications."
"As for how Tang Dao killed fifteen Japanese soldiers, I think you all know the process. Tell me, if you were to change places, could you do better than him?" The Army Lieutenant Colonel's eyes were as sharp as a knife.
"No!" Second Company Commander Deng Ying categorically shook his head. "This man has already perfected the single-soldier raiding tactic. Not to mention my first battalion, even the entire 88th Division, no one can match it."
"Hehe! It's just a single-soldier raid!" the Army Lieutenant Colonel snorted coldly. "You guys really underestimate him. What he handed over was an answer sheet that applied small-scale tactics to the extreme. I am almost sure that if he is given
He has a platoon-level unit where everyone has his fifth or sixth level, and he can turn this small unit into a sharp knife that makes any enemy tremble with fear, and can even change the outcome of a battle involving tens of thousands of people."
The four officers were stunned. None of them expected that their top commander would speak so highly of Tang Dao.
In fact, if Tang Dao could hear this lieutenant colonel's evaluation of him, he would be equally surprised.
This top student from Whampoa Military Academy not only saw through the level of special operations that he had painstakingly displayed, but also revealed the essence of special operations in the coming decades.
For a long time to come, the most terrifying thing about special operations is beheading, from which thousands of troops will take the heads of generals.
Just like a crocodile, lurking under the water, waiting for its prey to relax its vigilance, and then kill it with a fatal blow.
"It's a pity that we don't have time to help him train such a sharp-edged force. He doesn't even have the chance to become China's strongest soldier. He can only die in this grave with us." In the eyes of the Army Lieutenant Colonel.
He showed a look of regret and sighed slightly. "But I hope that before he dies, he can use his extremely powerful small-scale tactics to help us kill more Japanese."
"This time, I hope, we will no longer exchange three for one, but one for three!"
The somewhat cold voice of the Army Lieutenant Colonel echoed in the small room of Sihang Warehouse.
And one thousand meters away.
"Baga! Who can tell me, what's going on?" The roar of a Japanese major pierced the night sky in Songhu.
