Chapter 1517 A thousand rivers have a thousand rivers and a moon
"A divine cannon! This is a divine cannon!"
At about 8 o'clock on the night of the 9th, after the Japanese army completely stopped attacking, Ge Youcai, commander of the 10th Preliminary Division, immediately ran back to Hengyang City and finally saw the Storm 3 rocket launcher covered by a gun jacket in the air-raid shelter.
A dignified army lieutenant general, stroking the still slightly hot barrel, his eyes were frighteningly gentle, and tears of disappointment almost fell from the corners of his mouth.
"With such a magical cannon, as long as the little Japs dare to come, we can't destroy them?" Ge Youcai looked at Tang Dao with eyes full of expectation.
Not to mention that Ge Youcai thought so, but Fang Xianjue, Zhao Zili, Zhao Junmai, Sun Mingyu and other giants standing aside also thought so.
Today, just four salvos of these nine rocket launchers were able to push back the two Japanese divisions located in the south of the city. This is beyond everyone's imagination.
Does this mean that whenever the situation there is critical in the future, using this artillery fire support can solve the problem?
"The nine Storm rocket launchers and a total of 972 rockets dispatched by our department from the Taihang Arsenal this time are already the limit of what the arsenal can produce due to the shortage of materials. Moreover, the assistance experts invited from the Mao Xiong Country have already
After returning home, all the drawings were burned, and our technicians couldn't imitate them even if they wanted to." Tang Dao shook his head slightly, completely obliterating the ambitions of the generals of the 10th Army.
"Based on the calculation of firing 108 shells in one salvo, the Storm Rocket Launcher can fire 9 rounds of volleys, and it has fired 4 rounds now. That means that with the current storage capacity of rockets, it can fire up to 5 more rounds of volleys. This
It has to be without any losses." Frowning, Zhao Zili quickly and accurately calculated the continuous combat capability of the Storm Rocket Launcher.
"If nothing else, this should be the case." Tang Dao sighed slightly.
It's not that the arsenal in the Taihang Mountains can no longer manufacture rockets, but Tang Dao knows very well that this kind of rocket launchers and rockets should not have appeared in this era.
Unlike the various types of light weapons that the Four Lines Regiment has begun to equip on a standard basis, the Storm Rocket Launcher is already considered a heavy weapon, and can even change the direction of a battle.
In the past, it was just that the Storm Rocket Launcher did not show its power, but now all the generals in Hengyang City are seeing it, and the news will inevitably reach that person's ears.
Tang Dao is very aware of the manufacturing capabilities of the modern industrial behemoth of the United States, and he must make certain choices between the present and the future.
Before arriving at Hengyang City, Tang Dao had also thought carefully about the fact that the nine cannons transported were regarded as 'disposable' consumables. At least until the Japanese surrender, they would never appear on the battlefield easily again.
If it is developed by the Americans and copied from the gourd, it will cause even more terrible losses to the Chinese army in the future.
Therefore, Taihang Arsenal is destined to no longer provide follow-up rockets to Hengyang.
"What a pity! If we get a few more of these divine cannons and enough shells, I can send the 11th Army back to my grandma's house." Ge Youcai's mood was rare and extremely low.
"Yes! God has not blessed me in Hengyang!" Zhao Junmai's face was also heavy and he was very discouraged.
Although Zhao Junmai is a scholar-type manager who studied abroad, he has suffered in this kind of war for several years and has rich military knowledge. He knows that although Hengyang has blocked the Japanese army for 40 days, in fact, the Japanese army has never
Determined to attack Hengyang with all their strength, their main force has been waiting around Hengyang in an attempt to engage in a decisive battle with the main force of the Chinese military who came to rescue Hengyang.
It wasn't until July 9th that the Japanese troops besieging the city launched an all-out attack. At this moment, if it hadn't been for the sudden appearance of the Storm Rocket Launcher, I don't know how many positions in the south of the city would have been lost.
The loss of thousands of people in the battle may be a huge disaster for the Hengyang defenders, but for the Japanese army whose strength has reached 100,000 and besieging the city, it is not a serious injury. What will happen if the Japanese army comes back again in the future?
"You guys! It's a typical example of people who are incompetent. Director Tang took out the most valuable equipment in his regiment to help us solve a big problem in Hengyang. You are still not satisfied. You hope to defeat the Japanese with just a few cannons."
Being blown away, nothing in this world is that simple. If we can do this, we can allow the Japanese to plunder our country for many years?" Fang Xianjue raised his eyebrows and said.
"These rocket launchers can also have the ability to fire 5 rounds of salvos, which is already a great help to our army's defense. If such good steel is used on the blade, it is not usually used. Wait until the critical moment to give the little devil a hard blow.
, it will definitely beat Yokoyama Isamu until his liver trembles with pain!
By the way, I am announcing an order here. No one is allowed to disclose the existence of this storm rocket to the outside world, so as not to be noticed by the Japanese intelligence personnel.
Now, do you guys, the soldiers, still want to live?
If I know who leaked this information, no matter who it is, no matter how high his military rank is, or how deep his comradeship with me is, for the sake of our Chinese nation, we will definitely enforce wartime military laws!"
Fang Xianjue's somewhat cold gaze passed over the faces of the four lieutenant generals present. Including Ge Youcai, all four of them couldn't help but stand up straight and clearly stated that they accepted the order.
Fang Xian was definitely the top commander of Hengyang. When several of his subordinates were angry about the insufficient artillery shell reserves, he saw the value of the few remaining rockets that could be used on the battlefield.
As for the military order he just announced, perhaps only Tang Dao knows that it is a reciprocation from the supreme commander of Hengyang.
Everyone knows that the Four Elements Regiment and the 80th Army have close contacts, but no one knows to what extent the relationship has reached. But today Tang Dao bluntly said that the rocket launchers came from the Taihang Arsenal and were manufactured under the guidance of experts from the Mao Xiong Kingdom.
That actually put the relationship between the two armies in front of him, the Huangpu general.
Normally, he would have turned around and reported the matter about Tang Dao to his teacher. Tang Dao and the officers and soldiers of the Sixings Regiment would probably never return to North China again in their lifetime.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But at this time, with 100,000 Japanese troops besieging the city, there was no dispute between the two parties, only the battlefield where the Chinese and the Japanese faced off. Fang Xianjue also used this military order to
Tell Tang Dao that this matter will only stay in Hengyang and will never be spread outside.
Fang Xianjue was from the Huangpu family, but he was also a relatively pure soldier. This was what Tang Dao was betting on when he ordered the rocket launchers to be sent to Hengyang.
Now it seems that he made the right bet.
"Chief Fang is right. Even though there are not many rockets left, as long as they are used properly, they can still be of great effectiveness." Tang Dao showed a bright smile on his face.
"For example, we could beat them a few more times and then use a 'wait for the other shoe to drop' story."
"What's this story? Brother Tang, hurry up and tell us. Let's hear it." Ge Youcai no longer addressed Tang Dao as a military officer, but directly called him "brother" as an intimate title.
Some of them expressed gratitude to Tang Dao for helping him to prepare for the 10th division, and some directly told Tang Dao that from now on we are brothers, and the things you worry about will never happen to me, brother. At the same time, he also told Tang Dao that
Fang Xianjue, I will never disobey your military orders, sir.
Black Zhang Fei's thoughts are not ordinary!
"That's right! Director Tang, don't be too tight-lipped. Come and tell us quickly. If we can defeat the Japanese army's all-out attack today, Director Tang and the Sixth Army should be the first to take the lead. Zhao, the HY City
We can't say goodbye, but it's still okay to set up a celebratory banquet and invite Commander Fang and all colleagues to enjoy the moon together." Zhao Junmai also continued with a smile.
Zhao Junmai is not stupid either. He quickly realized that Tang Dao can even produce the secret weapon of the 80th Group Army, so why bother talking about it?
Looking around, it goes without saying that Fang Xianjue and Ge Youcai have already expressed their attitude. Zhao Zili, chief of staff of the 9th theater, has a close personal relationship with Tang Dao. Sun Mingyu, chief of staff of the 10th Army, is a young general promoted by Fang Xianjue.
As a result, he was the only mayor of HY who became an outsider.
If he doesn't express his attitude, if this matter comes out in the future, it will all be blamed on him, Mayor Zhao.
If it were normal times, he wouldn't be afraid, but now everyone is in the same city and share weal and woe. One is prosperous and the other is devastated. If others are allowed to guard against him, how can he stay in the city?
It's better for the bachelor to join in. The moon-viewing supper after this small victory is his certificate of submission as the mayor of HY. If anything happens to Tang Dao in the future, with that person's extremely suspicious temperament, they
These comrades who have been in the same trench with Tang Dao for a long time will definitely not end up well!
"Haha! Okay, it's rare that Mayor Zhao, an iron rooster, plucks his feathers, so let Mayor Zhao invite us to a table and notify Mr. Rong and Mr. Zhou to come over. Consider it a small victory today." Fang Xianjue's mood at this time.
Not bad, he said with a hearty laugh.
Today is the 19th day of the lunar calendar, just a few days after the 15th full moon. At this time, the full moon is in the sky, and the watery moonlight is shining on the ground. Even without lights, the visibility is more than ten meters.
The crowd was escorted by guards to the Central Bank.
"Two tenants living in an apartment in Moscow. The gentleman upstairs slams his shoes on the floor every night. The two "dong dong" sounds have become a "compulsory lesson" for the tenants downstairs every night. The tenants downstairs
Every time I hear two "dong dong" sounds, I fall asleep peacefully.
Until one night, after the gentleman upstairs threw away one shoe, he suddenly realized that he did not throw away the second shoe. As a result, the poor gentleman downstairs did not have a good sleep all night because he had been waiting for the second shoe all night.
Throw off your shoe..." Tang Dao began to tell the story he had told before on the road.
"This is what my professor often calls inertial thinking! Once this kind of inertial thinking is suddenly broken, there will be a sense of inadequacy." Zhao Junmai, who returned from studying in the West, sighed slightly.
"Hehe! Mayor Zhao, you are very knowledgeable. I am not as good as you in this aspect, but I understand that what Captain Tang wanted to express when he told this story just now combined with our Hengyang battlefield is that this rocket launcher can blast the Japanese like hell a few more times.
Then it was detonated but not fired, which not only saved artillery shells, but also deterred the Japanese, so that they were always timid and did not dare to invest large-scale infantry. When they finally came to their senses, our army did not have enough reserves of such artillery shells.
Several days have passed again.
In the past few days, even if our reinforcements have not arrived yet, they have been deployed anyway, right?" The young major general chief of staff over there who rarely expresses his opinions shook his head and said.
"That's right. I think the same thing as Chief of Staff Sun." Zhao Zili also nodded and looked at Tang Dao with burning eyes.
"When I was in Tanzhou in the past, Commander Xue mentioned Commander Tang to me several times, saying that there were over a thousand generals in China, but only a few of them could catch his eye, and Commander Tang, although you were still
You are just a colonel, but once you advance to become a general in the future, your brilliant achievements will surely be on par with or even surpass those of these people.
This is also the main reason why I immediately went there last autumn when I heard that Zhongmin said that he wanted to introduce you and me to each other. I was really curious about what kind of person could be so arrogant and proud as Commander Xue praised him so much.
You really have to thank me for my curiosity! Otherwise, I, Zhao Zili, would have missed meeting Captain Tang, the bright star of the future.
Of course, I have to thank Commander Tang for your analysis of the domestic and foreign war situations, which allowed me to more clearly understand the final struggle of the declining Japanese Empire. Although Commander Xue was unhappy, I was able to be with you all in Hengyang.
I am very happy to fight side by side!"
As soon as these words came out, several generals were filled with shock!
They generally knew about the fact that Zhao Zili and Commander Xue had a big fight at Yuelu Mountain and ended up being sent to Hengyang, but they didn't expect that the root cause would lie with Tang Dao.
Moreover, it was still possible to predict that the Japanese army would launch a large-scale campaign against Henan, Hunan, and Guangxi more than half a year in advance. What kind of extraordinary military talent did this have to do?
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! They already thought they knew Tang Dao very well and were very aware of his military talents. Unexpectedly, that was just the tip of the iceberg that he revealed.
"Brother Zili, it's okay to praise people, but you will praise me to death if you praise me lifelessly. Think about it, if the Japanese knew that there was a super fortune teller in the enemy camp, would they have to kill him no matter what they said?
?I personally have an immature suggestion. In the future, when you praise others, especially when you praise me, you should keep it in reserve, lest my wife will be proud after hearing it." Tang Dao said with a wink.
"Why is Dean Tantai so proud?" Ge Youcai was slightly startled.
"Because, this proves that her vision is invincible! Among all the scumbags, I was the only one who picked me."
"What is a scumbag?" Young Sun Mingyu was stunned.
"Including but not limited to not doing housework, not spending enough time with my wife, thinking that turning in military salary means fulfilling my responsibilities as a husband and father, etc." Tang Dao answered seriously.
"So, such a man is indeed hateful and can be called a scumbag." Fang Xiangjue said with a wry smile. "Then I can be considered an old scumbag."
"Haha!" Several generals couldn't help laughing loudly.
It's really hard to be unhappy chatting with a young man like Tang Dao, and I don't know what the people who are his enemies think. Anyway, they hope to become friends with such a person, not only because he is interesting enough, but also because he
horrible!
Several people boarded the platform of the Central Bank. The dishes on the table were all ready, but they were not as rich as expected. There were only a few cans of beef and canned fish, and the largest hard dish was just a steamed chicken.
The air-dried chicken is served, and the wine is Hengyang's famous local wine 'Beard Wine'.
It is said to be a famous wine, but in fact it is just rice wine brewed from glutinous rice. The wine tastes sweet but has a strong stamina. Almost every farmer in Hengyang area brews it.
Walking onto the platform and climbing the tower, you can have a panoramic view of Hengyang City under the watery moonlight.
After 40 days of bombing and shelling in Hengyang, more than 40,000 residential buildings have long been in ruins. Only less than ten buildings made of reinforced concrete, such as the Central Bank, are still intact.
In this huge ruin, the Waning Moon Painting Building is surrounded by the gentle breeze and completely silent, just like the ancient and silent Roman city in European black and white movies.
Tang Dao's eyes were firm and calm!
Because the little butterfly from the future knows that his nation and country will eventually rise again on the ruins after the war.
"There is a moon in Chang'an, and the sound of thousands of households pounding their clothes. The autumn wind cannot stop it, but it is always the love of the jade family. When the Huru will be pacified, the good man will stop his expedition." Looking at the Xiangjiang River in the distance, Fang Xianjue couldn't help but chant.
Looking at the bright moon reflected in the river, this famous iron-blooded general couldn't help but feel slightly moist at the corners of his eyes.
As the saying goes, a thousand rivers have water and a thousand rivers have moon!
Tonight, the stars and the moon are bright, the Milky Way is in the sky, and are his wife and children far away in Guilin looking up at the same bright moon like him at this moment?
Fang Xianjue, who rarely reveals his inner emotions, may be because he knows very well that in the coming days, he will never be as 'leisurely' as he was tonight.
A mountain of corpses and a sea of blood will be what he, the supreme commander of Hengyang, has to face.
There are more than 60,000 soldiers and civilians inside and outside Hengyang City, including him and the generals present. Everyone will become a move on the chessboard until the end of this defense war.
Whether the Japanese army breaks into the city or they successfully hold on, most of these chess pieces will be swept out of the chess game by the flames of war.
He doesn't want to be the kind of scumbag defined by Tang Dao, but the country and nation in war need him more.
In Fang Xianjue's mind, that flowery face appeared again, even though it was already 15 years ago.
PS: I would like to recommend Fengyue’s new book "Da Qi Death Judge". It is a fantasy theme, but it follows the path of suspense and reasoning. Book friends who like Lao Bai’s style must not miss it! The reason why it is double-edited is eight
The book will be finished by the beginning of this month at the latest.
