Tang Dao sat silently in the darkness, thinking about his thoughts.
The entire tunnel was dark. In order to ensure safety, all fire, unnecessary movement and conversation were prohibited in the tunnel. Except for the sentries posted at both ends of the tunnel, most people were sleeping.
After five consecutive days and nights of fighting, the Iron Man couldn't stand it anymore. Although the crisis was not completely over and there was a risk of being discovered if he stayed in the tunnel, he couldn't care less. He revised his military order and lay down for the most part.
.
Tang Dao didn't sleep. After inspecting the tunnel, he sat down silently.
He knew there wasn't much time left.
If the memory is correct, in four days, the Japanese Tenth Army will land at Jinshanwei. This is a trump card that the Japanese army plans to use to steal the retreat of hundreds of thousands of Chinese soldiers in western Shanghai.
That is the tactic that the Japanese base camp has decided to implement since October. It will mobilize troops from North China, which has gained strategic dominance, to reinforce the southeast. In late October, it will assemble transport ships to sail to the southeast. Once the Sixth Division is assembled, the Tenth Division will be mobilized.
Nearly 70,000 people from the 8th Division and the 114th Division landed at Jinshan Guard and captured Songjiang. The nearly 400,000 Chinese troops in western Shanghai who were still facing off against the Japanese army would be in danger of annihilation.
Of course, this scene did not happen tragically in the past, because the 67th Army, a direct line of the Northeastern Army, defended Songjiang for three days and nights, leaving a precious 72 hours for the retreating Chinese troops, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers were able to escape.
The 67th Army did what they should do, but for Tang Dao, a little butterfly from another time and space, the coming Tenth Army was from top to bottom, from the commander of the Tenth Army, Yanagawa Heisuke, to the Sixth Division.
Hase Hisao, Ushijima Mitsuru, commander of the 18th Division, and Shigeharu Suematsu, commander of the 114th Division, were all people he would kill.
Because the Tenth Army not only participated in the massacre that occurred in the winter, but was also one of the driving forces behind this tragedy.
However, four days later in Songjiang, China and Japan invested a total of nearly 100,000 troops in a fierce battle. He and his subordinates were less than an infantry company. What could change if he left?
More importantly, how should he go?
The tunnel was only three hundred meters away, and it didn't even go beyond the confines of the Sixing Warehouse. How was he supposed to reach the battlefield dozens of kilometers away?
Tang Dao's rare anxiety did not affect certain things that had been changed by his arrival.
The telegram jointly sent by the Army Major General and the Army Lieutenant Colonel to the division headquarters to commend Tang Dao Lei Xiong and others received a reply.
The first one was sent by the Songhu Theater Command. The content of the message was not to reinstate the military status of Tang Dao, Lei Xiong and others, but: the resignation of Tang Dao, Lei Xiong and others on the front line of Zhabei position in Songhu was a serious violation.
Military discipline, but in view of his bravery in combat, he was fined for half a year as a warning. If similar incidents occur again, the theater headquarters will severely punish him.
"What...what do you mean?" Yang Ruifu didn't react for a while.
"It's done, those bastards have kept their military status." The Army Major General clapped his hands with a smile on his face.
In the simple military camp, several officers of the first battalion who had been waiting anxiously were smiling.
If they are punished with military discipline, doesn't it just mean acknowledging the fact that they are still soldiers? The words of these big shots are so cloudy, and they have to say a lot of messages when it is clear that just one word "accurate" is enough.
However, the officers laughed too early.
Because the greater joy is yet to come.
But this time, it wasn't some coded message to notify them.
Instead, power on clearly.
The Songhu Theater Command sent a clear message to the whole country: The battle in Songhu was fierce. After the entire battalion died in the Yao Ziqing camp of the 583rd Regiment of the 98th Division in Baoshan, the 1st Battalion of the 524th Regiment of the 88th Division in Zhabei, Songhu, held the Sihang Warehouse position for five days and nights.
, killed more than a thousand people from the 36th Infantry Regiment of the Japanese Army, including Jiro Wakiitajiro and below, and all of them died in the battle.
In order to boost the morale of the whole army and highlight the prowess of our Chinese soldiers, entrusted by the Ministry of Military Affairs, Yao Ziqing was specially awarded the title of "Baoshan Camp" and the 1st Battalion of the 524th Regiment "Four Lines Camp". Yao Ziqing was the first battalion commander of Baoshan Battalion, and Tang Dao was appointed as
The first battalion commander of the Sihang Battalion. After this battle, the two battalions will be rebuilt by the theater headquarters. This is notified to the entire army.
After receiving this news, not to mention a few officers who opened their mouths in disbelief, even the Army Major General who had been guarding the field radio was stunned.
Having a named unit sequence is definitely the highest honor in the military, and it cannot be awarded unless the unit has achieved great merit.
I didn't expect that the big guys above would be so generous and give such a great honor, which is almost comparable to the Medal of the Blue Sky and White Sun.
"Tang Dao, this bitch, is now the battalion commander? I want to trade with him, but I don't know if it's too late." Yang Ruifu cursed and murmured to himself with tears in his eyes.
Not only was he excited that his brothers had won great glory with their lives, but more importantly, he knew that from now on, his first battalion was gone. No matter whether they could leave the concession or not, even if they could return to the 88th Division, in order to cover up others' deception,
There will no longer be a battalion.
Because, along with hundreds of Japanese troops, the First Battalion became martyrs and became the Four-Hong Battalion.
Subsequently, the commendation and promotion orders from the theater headquarters also arrived.
Army lieutenant colonel was promoted to army colonel a few days ago. His military rank was no longer promoted, but his position was finally changed to the commander of a regiment. However, in view of his location in the concession, an independent regiment of the 88th Division was specially established until he returned to the division headquarters.
Formation.
Yang Ruifu, the former commander of the first battalion, naturally assumed the position of deputy lieutenant colonel, and Shangguan Yun was appointed deputy commander of the regiment, equivalent to the third person in the independent regiment established in the future. The other two infantry company commanders were directly promoted to infantry battalion commanders, and Qin Ruoyu naturally became
The perfect choice for the commander of the first company.
Needless to say, the rest of the people who survived were all promoted to one level. The squad leader became the platoon leader, and the platoon leader became the company commander. Although it is just a mirror and a false moon at the moment, it always gives people something to look forward to, right?
Although the Sixth Battalion has been placed under the direct control of the theater headquarters and no longer belongs to the 88th Division, it was assigned by the 524th Regiment anyway, and the promotion order was also issued to the Army Lieutenant Colonel.
Tang Dao was directly promoted to lieutenant colonel of the army and served as battalion commander, Major Lei Xiong was promoted to deputy battalion commander, and Captain Leng Feng was promoted to commander of the first company. The rest were promoted two levels above their previous military positions before being stationed in Sihang.
This is to treat Tang Dao and others as dead in battle. To put it bluntly, only dead people have this treatment. A good reputation can reflect the sympathy of the senior officials for the grassroots soldiers, and it does not require too much military pay.
I don’t know if one day these big shots will be upset if they find out that the Tang Dao people they thought were destined to die are now vigorously killing the Japanese.
However, there are mountains of military orders, and in order to show the majesty of God's grace, the commander of the theater specially used a clear code to send electricity to the whole country. Even if he wanted to take it back, he couldn't take it back.
However, this clearly-coded call was really like a raging fire cooking oil, giving another shot in the arm to the soldiers and civilians who had been constantly stimulated by reports of battlefield news in the past few days.
Not only did the infantry divisions on the Songhu front line send out messages to express their determination to defend the newly deployed defense lines of the armies, but the group armies in northern China that were struggling to resist the Japanese Northern Army's attack also called to support the Ministry of Military Affairs' special grant to two ordinary infantry battalions.
Courtesy.
The originally declining battle situation was somewhat restored due to such a power-up.
Perhaps the only one who didn't feel happy was Tantai Mingyue who dropped her pen and paper.
For several days in a row, Tantai Mingyue sat on the river bank closest to the ruins of Sihang Warehouse, from early morning to nightfall, never setting.
It seems to be accompanying, and it seems to be waiting.
But the ruins of Sihang Warehouse were like a dead giant, without any response to this beautiful war reporter.
On the night of November 4th, looking at the still silent afterimage of Sihang Warehouse, Tantai Mingyue stood up and whispered softly: "I'm sorry, I can't accompany you anymore. The war is still going on, and there are still tasks waiting for me. If
If the war is won and I am still alive, I will come see you again."
Taking one last look at Tantai Mingyue, although her heart was cut by a knife, she still turned around and never looked back.
She has received a mission from the newspaper. The entire Songhu army is about to retreat to the defense line, and she has to rush to Jinling.
Another war on a scale comparable to that of Songhu was about to begin. After this farewell, she might never see the young soldier again, whether he was alive or dead.
Even she didn't know if she could see the final victory of the war.
It’s just that life is like a play. White skirts on campus will meet white shirts, and novel readers will never miss a big splash. Life’s encounters are so legendary.
Just four hours after Tantai Mingyue left, an extremely secret secret door was opened 300 meters away from where she had been sitting for the past few days.
