This winter night in the southeast is definitely the night that most subverts the impression of Jiangnan talents on soldiers.
Tantai Yunshu was awarded the title of Three Masters of Calligraphy, Painting, and Poetry. Calligraphy and painting were even more famous in the south of the Yangtze River. I don’t know how many rich people and nobles asked for a lot of money to get a painting and calligraphy from him. But in fact, only Tantai Yunshu himself knew that in the
In his own heart, "poetry" is more important than calligraphy and painting. Otherwise, in the face of the magnificent Patriotic War, he only vowed not to touch calligraphy and painting, but never said that he would no longer recite poetry.
But the great talent from Jiangnan never dreamed that on this cold winter night, he would be educated by a second lieutenant and platoon leader with a weathered face.
"The night gave me black eyes, but I used them to find light!" The poem is not gorgeous at all, but it is full of connotation.
Especially for the Chinese people who are deep in the nightmare of war at this time, when you think about it carefully, you will feel a surge of emotion.
The two contradictory logics of night and light are wonderfully connected and turn in such a poem.
The dark night symbolizes the anti-aggression war that China is struggling to carry out at this time, and does light mean victory? Although we are in the dark night, we are not afraid and work hard to find the light.
This is a wonderful combination of Chinese characters. Just one sentence made the great talent from Jiangnan look like a clay sculpture until tears filled his eyes.
Lu Sanjiang, who plagiarized Tang Dao's poem and also pirated his expression at the time, couldn't help but feel guilty. Sir, don't tell me where he copied it from! You see, Mr. Tantai was so angry that he didn't say anything for a long time.
.
"Mr. Tantai, what's the problem?" Lu Sanjiang asked cautiously.
"Wonderful! It's really wonderful!" Tantai Yunshu let out a long breath and looked at the platoon leader, the second lieutenant, cautiously. "I don't know who wrote this poem. Can Platoon Leader Lu tell me if I'm lucky enough someday?"
If we can meet him, Tantai Yun Shu will ask him for advice."
"How did Mr. Tantai know it was not written by me?" This time it was Lu Sanjiang's turn to be surprised. His POSS just now was so convincing that even he almost believed it.
"Hehe! Although your army is the elite of a hundred battles, its manpower is limited after all, and it is impossible to know everything!" Tantai Yunshu said with a chuckle.
After all, Tantai Yunshu had lived for decades. Although he was severely shocked by this poem with profound meaning, he quickly came back to his senses after withdrawing from the artistic conception of the poem. If he happened to meet a small row
If you have this ability, then you can’t be as talented as a dog!
Looking at the stunned expressions of the cavalrymen sitting in a circle, it was obvious that they had no idea about the awesome ability of the platoon leader they were so familiar with, and the answer was readily apparent.
However, compared to the previous arrogance due to dissatisfaction with the Tang battalion commander, Jiangnan's talented man is not sure how soft he is now. He cited limited manpower as an explanation, but he was also afraid of hurting Lu Sanjiang's self-esteem.
It's just that Jiangnan Da, who has such a bright mind, was right about so many things, but he didn't expect that there was a big bug waiting for him. If he could have known in advance that the person he wanted to ask for advice was the little cotton-padded jacket that was putting him on.
If so, perhaps Tantai Yunshu would rather not have that wise brain.
"Mr. Tantai is indeed a great talent, amazing!" Lu Sanjiang showed no embarrassment at being seen through, and gave a thumbs up to Tantai Yunshu. "This line of poetry! Our battalion commander specially taught it to me when I was leading the army.
Yes, Mr. Tantai, you must test our talents. When the time comes, I will read this to Mr. Tantai. Fortunately, my memory is not bad!"
Tantai Yunshu
The old face turned slightly red.
Fortunately, there was still warm firelight to cover up his face, otherwise Lao Tantai would have been embarrassed to see others.
It's that bastard? I don't know where I copied a poem and used it to shame me.
Of course, these were not the reasons that made Lao Dantai take the trouble, but that the little bastard was able to guess what he was trying to show off through this skill.
"Hmph! When I see you again in a while, I will talk to you face to face and let you pretend to be a plagiarized poem." Lao Tantai was silently angry in his heart.
Tang Dao was already lurking in the wilderness, with a cool breeze blowing behind him.
The cavalry platoon leader who was adding to the drama by himself was still complaining that he was giving points to the commander in the heart of the battalion commander’s future father-in-law. Obviously, he didn’t realize that the points were not added to the point, but he was poaching for Commander Tang.
A big hole.
God knows how many pirated copies Tang Battalion Commander will produce for this, his face will be red!
However, it was definitely not Tang Dao who was blushing at this moment.
Masahori Tanigawa, acting commander of the 36th Infantry Brigade, was blushing and cursing his temporary boss in the field army tent.
The extremely stupid battle the night before cost him three infantry squadrons, and he also killed the gilded noble prince sent by the Fujiwara family. Apparently, plus the cavalry major who died in Matsue earlier, Fujiwara
Two people in the family have died.
This shabby place is completely the enemy of the Fujiwara family!
Forget it, he is just a colonel. He can't get close to the Fujiwara family even if he wants to hug his thick legs. The ones who are troubled should be the lieutenant generals.
But Ushijima Sadao seemed determined not to stop until the Sixth Division was beaten to death. Early in the morning, he finally heard that the Chinese had escaped, and the 36th Infantry Brigade dispatched another infantry brigade to collect the remains on the battlefield the day before yesterday.
, and counted the remains of nearly 200 imperial infantry soldiers who died in the battle, and they haven’t even started to set fire to them yet!
Ushijima Sadao actually asked the entire 36th Infantry Brigade to pursue the Chinese immediately after an hour. The brigade had to reload the bloody corpses into the car and ran all the way, planning to burn them when they almost arrived at the location.
Who knows, Ushijima Sadao's order came again, requiring him to send out reconnaissance troops to go around the enemy's rear to conduct reconnaissance on the Chinese rear to prevent the Chinese from using the night to escape again.
Okay! From a military point of view, there is nothing wrong with this. Masanori Tanigawa also understands that people have to bow their heads under the eaves, even if these orders fall on the head of the 36th Infantry Brigade as the vanguard.
But in the evening, Ushijima Sadao, who had arrived six kilometers away from the front line and established the division headquarters, held a military meeting. This time, Tanigawa Masanori, the acting brigade commander, was notified to attend.
However, after hearing that Masanori Tanigawa had sent two teams with a total of thirty people to detour from both wings, with the farthest reconnaissance point being the Chinese defense line five kilometers deep, he became furious on the spot and ordered the 36th Infantry Brigade to send at least ten groups.
The leading reconnaissance troops not only need to detect the movements of the Chinese, but also attack the Chinese baggage, medical and other weakly protected units in the rear, and wait for opportunities to destroy the roads in the rear to slow down the retreat of the Chinese.
This Baga is going too far. He clearly wants to make it impossible for the elite infantry he sent to get back to the rhythm! Do you think the Chinese are really weak? They have fought against the Chinese army several times along the way and have been beaten.
Tanigawa Masanori, who had a bruised nose and face, had obviously lost his previous pride. Even if his opponent had been in retreat, he did not dare to take it lightly.
In the past, he had always been happy to accept such military orders that could achieve military merit, but now, he was hiding in the military tent like a trapped animal and cursing, regardless of the strict hierarchy.
But the sad thing is that Tanigawa Masanori continued to scold him, knowing that the military order still had to be carried out.
The Chinese were really cunning. During the day, they not only destroyed the road where carriages could travel, but also laid mines at inconspicuous locations along the way. Although the number was small, it seriously hindered the marching speed of the army.
In order to complete the military order, he had to leave the artillery and baggage troops behind. The light infantry trekked in the wilderness before reaching the battlefield. In order to ensure sufficient combat effectiveness, the main force of the 18th Division had to protect the artillery and move forward slowly. Now it is far away from the front line.
The nearest one is still four or five kilometers away.
If the 36th Infantry Brigade does not send this kind of reconnaissance spearhead, can it still be expected to be sent by the 18th Infantry Division several kilometers away?
The situation was stronger than the people. Tanigawa Masanori had to hold his nose and ordered the infantry brigades under his command to allocate manpower to form fifteen special agents at the squad level, detachment level, and group level. They used the protection of the night to lurk on both wings of the Jiaxing defense line in China.
Enter the rear of the battlefield.
A total of more than 160 people were dispatched, almost an infantry squadron.
However, Tanigawa Masanori also kept an eye on it. Ushijima Sadao's order to attack the weakly protected Chinese troops and destroy the roads was changed by him to allow each group to decide whether to attack or not based on the situation.
To put it bluntly, it is better not to fight if you can. All you need to do is keep an eye on the Chinese. If the main force of the Chinese makes any changes, send off flares or light fires and pile up smoke as a warning.
Masanori Tanigawa was not so bold as to equip all the reconnaissance units that sneaked into the battlefield behind enemy lines with field radios. In fact, except for one squad-level reconnaissance unit that was equipped with a field radio for communication, the rest were only equipped with a flare gun at most.
.
It’s not that the landlords don’t have enough food left, it’s that the landlords are about to become poor and lower-middle peasants.
A night attack the night before not only nearly wiped out the three infantry squadrons, but also lost two field radios drawn from the infantry brigade. At this time, before the telephone lines were fully laid out, Tanigawa
Zhengxian had to rely on the two short legs of the signal soldiers if he wanted to find the two infantry captains.
One after another, the independent battalion once again captured a complete Japanese-style field radio. Now, except for the baggage company and the spy company, all other companies are equipped with one. The communication is so good that the Japanese army is also included.
It is also the only member of the Chinese and Japanese armies in Jiaxing.
Tang Dao, who was used to communicating with individual soldiers in the future, was not particularly satisfied.
Just like at five o'clock in the morning, he clearly saw a group of Japanese troops sneaking into an already deserted village, but he was unable to silently notify the infantry company still several kilometers away to ambush.
