"I want to eat something first, please get me something to eat!"
Finally, when Tantai Mingyue's sad voice gradually subsided, Tang Dao gently patted Tantai Mingyue's shoulder and asked softly.
"Okay, Uncle Wang has been preparing some food over there, I'll go get it!" Tantai Mingyue, who had vented her grief a little, heard Tang Dao's request, nodded immediately, turned around and walked towards the other side of the col.
This is also the cleverness of Tantai Mingyue. She knows that maybe Tang Dao's desire to eat is fake, but the military situation at this moment is true.
Before, she would have told the truth, but now that several officers in the independent battalion had different opinions, it was not suitable for her to speak. It would be better to let Lao Hei report to him personally.
"Old Hei, tell me, what's the situation now?" Tang Dao ignored the two signal soldiers and looked directly at his guard platoon leader.
"Sir, it is now December 20th. Jinling has been completely lost. Our independent battalion is currently located in the Eagle Mountain area of the Laoshan Mountains, 50 kilometers away from Jinling City." Lao Hei took the map from Xia Dayu and quickly gave it to him.
Tang Dao indicates the time and current location.
He actually slept for twelve days. Even though Tang Dao had a strong nerve, he couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly.
According to the historical process of time and space, the Japanese army had already invaded Jinling City on the 13th. The tragedy had already begun a few days ago. Tang Dao, who was heartbroken, could only look at Lao Hei with a blank expression.
"In twelve days, according to the march plan I made previously, even if there is a slight delay in Jiangbei, our independent battalion should have passed Chaohu by now! Lao Hei, tell me, why is my independent battalion still staying near the Jinling battlefield?
Do you think the Japanese didn't catch up and kill us?" Tang Dao's voice was even colder than the mountain wind at this time.
Lao Hei, who was originally so cold that he could only rely on stomping his feet to stay warm, suddenly had huge beads of sweat on his forehead.
The four-line veteran who had followed Tang Dao for a long time knew that Tang Dao's wrath was not aimed at him, but he also knew that Tang Dao attached great importance to military discipline, but now among the few people who refused to retreat in violation of orders, all four of them were
Old brothers who emerged from the war and new brothers who forged deep friendships on the battlefield.
Although he, like Zhuang Shisan and Gu Xishui, chose neutrality and did not express any opinions until Tang Dao woke up, deep down in his heart, he even wanted to side with the main war faction...
Tang Dao was a smart man. When he saw Lao Hei being nervous and hesitant, he knew that the situation at this moment might be worse than he imagined. Otherwise, even Lei Xiong would not be able to suppress him.
"Just tell me what the situation is now. We are still some distance away from the battlefield, so the situation is not too bad!" Tang Dao tried his best to soften his attitude.
"Sir, it's like this." Lao Hei could only tell the reasons why the Independent Battalion stayed here for two days.
It turned out that after Tang Dao fainted, the Independent Battalion immediately entered a state of martial law and chose to cross the river with the remnants of the 145th Division that afternoon. However, the ships in Wuhu were limited at that time, let alone the division commander and Lei Xiong who went to the river in person.
In terms of supervision, even if the army headquarters continuously sent telegram requests to the garrison brigade in Wuhu, it was of no use.
Moreover, Japanese aircraft had already begun bombing the rivers in the Wuhu and Ma'anshan areas. Therefore, the Independence Battalion and the remnants of the 145th Division did not cross the Yangtze River until the evening of the 11th, and immediately took refuge in the mountains.
The 145th Division was ordered to move south along the Yangtze River toward Anqing in the direction of Jiangxia, which was also the location where the 21st Group Army headquarters was to withdraw.
The independent battalion is affiliated to the 43rd Army. After withdrawing to Jiangbei, the 43rd Army Military Headquarters, after consultation with the Ministry of Military Affairs, will go directly to Jiujiang to rendezvous with the reserve group it left behind and will replace the missing personnel from the security group that is being assembled in Sichuan Province.
Soldiers were replenished.
The independent battalion should also follow.
Perhaps because of the outstanding performance of the 43rd Army in the First Battle of Songhu, the Ministry of Military Affairs and Administration maintained great tolerance towards the 43rd Army. While allowing the entire 43rd Army to go to Jiujiang to replenish troops, they even allowed the independent battalion to go north to Xuzhou to collect ordnance.
Requests for supplies.
However, after hearing this, Tang Dao knew clearly that it was not necessarily just as simple as the 43rd Army's outstanding performance in the battle. The relationship was actually very subtle and could not be known by low-level officers like Lao Hei.
The 43rd Army was originally a direct descendant of a certain general in the Sichuan Army, but Comrade Lao Guo was extremely unhappy that he voted for this one today and that one tomorrow. And there was a gap between him and the current Chairman of Sichuan Province. So he simply voted for the one with the thickest legs in last year's reorganization.
That one.
Speaking of which, the 43rd Army is all from Sichuan, but in fact, the affiliation is no longer considered the Sichuan Army. In other words, the degree of closeness is not comparable to the infantry division commanded by many students under the principal.
As soon as Comrade Lao Guo proposed to take advantage of this big "capitalist" of the Northeastern Army, the Military and Administrative Department could re-arm an infantry army without bleeding. Of course, it was a dream.
Wu and Guo naturally took all these twists and turns into account. Otherwise, how could they have agreed so easily to Tantai Yunshu and let Tang Dao take the independent battalion to send people to the north!
Do you really think that the army is your own store, and you can open it as you want? Without the military order from above, let alone an infantry battalion spanning two thousand miles, even an infantry platoon fully armed and marching like this will be regarded as a deserter.

Gu Xi
When the war broke out in North China, several places in Songhu and Jinling were beaten to a pulp, but the troops stationed in other parts of the country were still well prepared. The total number of troops stationed at least two million.
When they separated from the 145th Division, according to what Tang Dao had said before, almost half of the captures captured in the Yulaojinkeng ambush battle were divided between the 145th Division and the 145th Division.
In total, they were given more than 600 intact Type 38 rifles, 400 damaged and repairable guns, 9 light machine guns, 9 damaged and repairable light machine guns, 3 heavy machine guns, 6 damaged and repairable heavy machine guns, and 15
grenade launchers, 300 rounds of grenades, and 100,000 rounds of machine rifle bullets. In terms of equipment, except for two mountain cannons, four infantry cannons, and various types of artillery shells, they were given 50% of the equipment. Basically everything that could be given was given to them.
In terms of baggage, they were given 15,000 kilograms of polished rice and 300 sets of temporary new cotton-padded uniforms for the Japanese army. In addition, there was also half a truckload of seized medicines. This was most of the materials seized by the independent battalion this time, and it was considered a good response to the supplies left behind.
Compensation for several artillery pieces.
"Commander Rao has repeatedly expressed his gratitude to our independent battalion, saying that these equipment are enough for him to arm two infantry battalions with purely Japanese equipment!" Lao Hei concluded.
"Okay! At this point, Lei, Guo, and Zhuang are not petty." Tang Dao nodded.
Except for the grenades, the Japanese-style light weapons are still useful, but other equipment is scum in Tang Dao's opinion. The only advantage may be that it is more convenient to replenish it. If you don't have it, you can just fight a dozen Japanese.
However, Tang Dao, who had already made plans for the future, had no intention of equipping his independent camp with these crappy gadgets.
Not to mention that we have to go to the Xuzhou secret arsenal to replenish the weapons soon. Even the current equipment of the independent battalion is no worse than Japanese weapons.
This war will last for many years, and Tang Dao has enough time to build the independent battalion into a strong army with at least ten years of standard weapons and equipment ahead of the Japanese army.
In the future, the grenade, a seemingly excellent light infantry suppression firearm, will only appear in the reserve units of independent battalions.
It is only right to use these weapons to strengthen friendly forces.
"Keep talking!"
"Then, Battalion Commander Lei sent Company Commander Leng's company to pick up 300 students. The whole battalion waited in the mountains. However, due to frequent Japanese bombings, they could only go out day and night. There was a delay in coming and going, and when the whole battalion walked along the mountains
When the trail headed towards Xuzhou, it was already the 15th. The mountain road was rugged and difficult, and the Japanese planes kept circling. The marching speed was no more than 15 kilometers a day. The day before yesterday, news came out in Jinling City: "Lao Hei swallowed hard and moistened
Moisturizes some dry lips.
"When you hear that the Japanese army has started looting and killing our soldiers and civilians, some people just want to go back and fight the Japanese, right?" Tang Dao's voice was hoarse, and his eyes flashed with cold light.
"Yes!" The muscles on Lao Hei's face trembled violently.
"I understand. No wonder we are still here now. We were discussing whether to go or fight! If it hadn't been so late at night, we would probably still be quarreling now, right?" Tang Dao said calmly.
"Heavy Rain, go and tell Deputy Battalion Commander Lei to come over."
"Erya, go and inform Guo and Zhuang."
Except for Lei Xiong, who was addressed by Tang Dao as a military official, the other two were only replaced by their last names. Lao Hei, who lowered his head, clearly felt the prelude to the storm.
I can only pray for the old brothers and new brothers in my heart, hoping that the superior will not be so angry that he wants to whip them.
"Old Hei, go and notify those bastards who want to fight the Japanese and tell them to get over here immediately, immediately!"
"Yes!" Lao Hei turned around and ran away.
Tang Dao had been angry before, but that was mostly against the Japanese, and this was the first time he had ever been so angry against one of his own people. The last time he was not so angry, he had executed an army colonel on the spot.
It seems that cracking the whip is already good, just don't lose your head. Lao Hei, who is worried about his comrades, can run much faster than two signal soldiers who rely on their legs and feet to make a living...
PS: After discussing with the editor and book friends for a long time, for the sake of safety, Fengyue finally deleted the plot of the Battle of Jinling that had been planned for a long time. The most painful injury in the darkest history of the nation will not be
Go and touch it, even though Fengyue also wants to change her fate against the will of heaven, but she can’t!
