The simple residence serves as the headquarters of the 43rd Army. There are only two people, Tang Dao and the Lieutenant General of the 43rd Army.
This was less than half an hour after Tang Dao arrived at the 26th Division of the 43rd Army. The lieutenant general who had finished a military meeting asked to talk to Tang Dao alone.
Without any extra pleasantries, the Lieutenant General, who had a somewhat defeated look on his face, went straight to the topic almost immediately. After briefly describing the current situation, he asked the entire Si Xing Battalion, which had just received a grand welcome, to leave.
"No, our Sixing Battalion is determined to go to Songjiang with you, sir." Tang Dao met the Army Lieutenant General's somewhat tragic eyes and shook his head in refusal.
"Why are you doing this? Our 43rd Army has received an order to defend Songjiang. You don't have the Sixth Battalion. There is no need to die in vain." Lieutenant General Guo paused and sighed.
"Hey! This battle in Songhu has been completely lost. No matter how hard you and I risk our lives, we can't change the outcome."
This is Tang Dao. Although he has now transformed into a lieutenant colonel and battalion commander of the Sixings Battalion directly under the war zone, he was still from the 26th Division after all. This is why this army lieutenant general said such a truth.
This was actually his complaint against the person sitting in the highest position. It was not a saucy move where he said he would fight tomorrow and then retreat the day after tomorrow and then deceived the entire army that they could fight again. How could hundreds of thousands of elites be in such a situation that they are now scrambling to escape for their lives?
situation?
It's ridiculous to ask 700 of them to defend for three days and nights! Do you think Songjiang is a four-row warehouse? The Japanese can't hit with small artillery and dare not use heavy artillery. Of course, they can resist for several days with a small number of enemies.
But Songjiang was just a small town, and tens of thousands of Japanese troops rushed up and drowned 700 of them with a mouthful of saliva.
In this man's mind, even if there was still a Songjiang security group, it would be a miracle that two to three thousand of them together could defend for half a day, and the entire army would be defeated in front of him.
Of course, Tang Dao also knew the reason why Lieutenant General Guo did not hesitate to tell the truth in order to persuade Tang Dao not to go.
The entire 26th Division was trapped by military orders and had to go to Songjiang, a place of death. He didn't want Tang Dao to die. He wanted to cherish his talents, but in fact, it was more of a trust.
The soldiers of the 26th Division were basically recruited from several counties around Tang Dao's hometown. Many relatives and friends joined the army in groups. Who wouldn't be afraid of death on the bloody battlefield? But seeing that his cousins were still alive in the morning
Smiling at yourself will turn into a cold corpse at noon. Who can't have red eyes?
Sichuan people value both loyalty and face, and they attach great importance to nepotism. Otherwise, they would not have so much power.
This desperate effort was not without risking one's life. After only one battle in Songhu, the number of people killed increased from more than 8,000 to 700. Brother Pao Ge's reputation for never showing off his clothes was established, but his life was also lost.
about there.
Just like that, more than 700 people were carrying more than 200 seriously injured people who could be rescued and left the battlefield, taking them wherever they went.
At dawn, Liu Gongdu and Lao Wang returned with Tang Dao and the Sixing Battalion. Lieutenant General Guo personally welcomed him out of the station as a military commander, not so much because he valued the two mountain cannons and the two mountain cannons that Tang Dao promised to give to the 26th Division.
A cart of canned meat supplies is more like a large amount of medicine sent by Tang Dao.
That is what the 26th Division urgently needs. Without those medicines, it would be a miracle that one-third of those seriously injured people could survive.
But a military order came, and there were only more than 700 people in the 26th Division of the 43rd Army to immediately rush to Songjiang City, which was about to block the only way for the Japanese troops to land.
If they die, they will die, and they will live up to the name of the Sichuan Army. But what should we do with the more than 200 wounded?
Counting on others? Even a meritorious minister like Tang Dao, who was greeted personally by Lieutenant General Guo, was lost. Who else would Lieutenant General Guo dare to count on?
The 700 people who are still intact will not survive, but the numbers of the 43rd Army cannot be lost. These more than 200 seriously injured people are the seeds for the 43rd Army to restart in the future.
After much thought, Lieutenant General Guo could only place his hope on Tang Dao, hoping that he would take away these more than 200 seriously injured people for the sake of being a member of the Sichuan Army.
In the past time and space, there was neither Tang Dao nor Four Elements Camp. Lieutenant General Guo, who was not pedantic in his work, also used his thoughts and divided more than half of the more than 700 people to retreat with the seriously injured people. He took more than 100 people with him.
Rushing to Songjiang, he neither violated military orders nor planned to serve the country with his own life, but he also left the seeds of recovery for the 43rd Army.
You know, Tang Dao seems to have lost his brain in the war, and even though he knows that he is facing death, he still has to accompany him to break through like a fool. How can this not make Commander Guo feel depressed and just tell the truth? All he needs to do is point out with his fingers.
Holding Tang Dao and yelling: Is your brain broken, you little melon?
"Sir, Songjiang is not necessarily a dead end." Tang Dao said suddenly and shockingly. "We may not be able to win this battle, but we can still defend it for three days and three nights."
This is not Tang Dao’s baseless bragging. In the past, although the Songjiang defenders suffered heavy casualties, they did hold off the Japanese Tenth Army for three days and three nights in the small town of Songjiang. If not for this, hundreds of thousands of troops would have
There is no need to wait for the Battle of Jinling, this battle will be exhausted.
"Commander Tang, I also know that you have the experience of fighting hundreds against thousands in the Four Elements War, but you know, Songjiang is not a Four Elements warehouse." Seeing that the Tang sword was not good enough, but still had some self-sufficiency in battle, he started to brag.
Meaning, Lieutenant General Guo couldn't help but feel a little angry.
"Sir, when I say that I will stay for three days and three nights, I am not just imagining it. There are three reasons." Tang Dao, however, was not afraid of the anger of an army lieutenant general and held out three fingers.
"Okay, I'll give you five minutes to convince me, otherwise take your people and get out of here. If you want to take the 200 wounded, you can take them. If you don't want to take them, I will send someone to send them away myself." Lieutenant General Guo raised his brows.
The tone was even more serious.
From the moment he got the military order, he, the two lieutenant generals who commanded the 26th Division, and a bunch of major generals under their command scratched their heads, but they couldn't come up with a reason to hold on for three days and nights, but Tang Dao was better, he opened his mouth and there were three.
Is it possible that they are all idiots?
These generals are all strong men who have worked from platoon leader to general for decades. In terms of ability, they are all one-in-a-million talents. It is impossible to be stupid. It’s just that they are in the middle of the game. Naturally, they are not as good as countless people from the future.
The little butterfly who has studied this chess game for the first time understands this battle.
"First, although the Japanese troops who landed on Jinshanwei were fierce, they were bound to be blocked by frontline soldiers on the Jinshanwei tidal flat. It was only their imagination to land all of them in a short time. This bought our army at least half a day.
.
Second, the tidal flat position is difficult even for pedestrians, let alone all kinds of heavy equipment. Even if the Japanese army can get ashore, they must mainly use light equipment. If they want their troops to be fast, they will have to reach Songjiang, fifty kilometers away from Jinshanwei.
The Japanese troops who came lightly armed and had no heavy artillery support in the early stages of the battle were actually not that scary." Tang Dao retracted his second finger.
This is also not Tang Dao's nonsense. In the past, the 114th Division and the Sixth Division of the Japanese Tenth Army crashed into Songjiang like this. The Japanese army, which had no heavy artillery above 150 caliber and only 75 caliber mountain cannon at most, crashed into Songjiang City.
The bag at one end could only watch hundreds of thousands of Chinese elites in western Shanghai run away.
"Where's the third one?" The Army Lieutenant General's eyes were already a little bright and he couldn't wait to ask.
"Third, our 26th Division and the Songjiang Security Group are not the only ones ordered to garrison Songjiang. Although that person lacks the ability to command large-scale battles, he still has a good vision. Songjiang is an important place that affects the life and death of hundreds of thousands of troops. He
There will definitely be arrangements. Perhaps our 26th Division is just a way for him to appease another general." Tang Dao smiled slightly.
"Good guy, no wonder he became the commander of the world-famous Si Xing Battalion. He really has some skills." The army lieutenant general, who was in the middle of the situation and didn't know the situation, finally realized it. Although he was slightly embarrassed, his face finally showed joy.
.
The commander of the army was previously thinking about the Japanese invaders' power, but he ignored that since his own side wanted to hold on to the important territory, he would never send his mere 700 people there, even if the 26th Division of the 43rd Army was in the battle of Dachang Town.
He achieved an impressive record.
Because what really influenced the battle of Songjiang was another strong army.
67th Army, Northeastern Army!
