Rise From Eight Hundred

The soldiers who came to pick up Tang Dao were two army colonels!

One was the chief of staff of the army colonel from the Ministry of Military Affairs, whose rank and position were equivalent to Tang Dao, and Tang Dao was ordered to report to the Ministry of Military Affairs, which was in compliance with the rules.

But the other army colonel, who had an ordinary appearance but a gloomy temperament, had a very strange background. He was the captain of the Shancheng Detective Team, and his surname was Shen.

The so-called detective team was just a force under the Military Control Commission, and seeing that the age of this army colonel was only a few years older than himself, he was so young and got such a high position, and his surname was Shen, who he was was already obvious.

As soon as he made a move, he was one of the four great kings under his command. That Director Dai really looked up to him!

"Why, the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Military Investigation Committee are now working together?" Tang Dao faced two colleagues of the same level who had introduced themselves, but he did not even return the greeting symbolically, but asked directly.

A sense of pressure without anger instantly pressed on the two army colonels opposite.

Feeling the coldness of Tang Tuanzuo, Mingxin and Pang Zilong, who were standing only two meters behind Tang Dao, did not make any moves, but the fighting spirit in their eyes showed that as long as Tang Dao gave an order, these two Chinese elites would not hesitate and would kill anyone.

The soldiers who jumped off the truck felt the unreserved hostility of the three men, and their faces changed, but they couldn't help but tighten their guns in their hands. That was the only thing ordinary people could do when facing an invincible threat.

"At that moment, I really felt the threat of death. If I answer carelessly, Tang Dao will really kill people." Those were the original words that Colonel Shen reported to the middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes in the evening.

"Tang Dao has never left the front line from Songhu to southern Hebei. The blood of Japanese people on his hands is at least 80,000. Such a killing god, let alone let him feel that you will harm him, he will have the intention to kill, even if it is me, I am afraid I will kill him!" The middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes answered his subordinates calmly.

"This is the real Tang Dao. If someone else pretends to be him, he may have the appearance but not the spirit."

"Captain Tang, please don't misunderstand. Minister He had received intelligence from the Investigation Bureau before you arrived, saying that there were Japanese spies trying to harm you. He specially applied to the Investigation Bureau for force to protect you. Captain Shen is a capable general under Director Dai. He will be fully responsible for your safety in Shancheng." The Colonel Chief of Staff of the Military and Political Department saw Tang Dao getting angry and hurriedly explained.

"Please don't blame Captain Tang. The Military and Political Department are all soldiers of the country. It is too obvious to mobilize the guard troops. Captain Tang, you are not very free to move in Shancheng. My detective team usually acts in plain clothes. We will only provide protection nearby and will never hinder you from visiting relatives and friends in Shancheng!" Colonel Shen of the Military Control Commission also said.

"Since it was arranged by Commander He and Commander Dai, I was too suspicious. Please forgive me. Tang Dao and his brothers have been on the front line for a long time. They are all wolves and tigers like the Japanese invaders. It has become a habit to use knives and guns." Tang Dao retracted his momentum and raised his hand to return a military salute.

Good guy! You apologized, but why did you say that it is a habit to use knives and guns in the script? And those wolves and tigers, they don’t just refer to the Japanese! The chief of staff of the military and political department, a colonel, wiped his cold sweat silently. No wonder when he came here, Minister He, who was busy, called him to tell him not to offend the one who returned from the front line.

The officers of the military and political department who were originally responsible for commanding the national army felt that they were superior to others. Let alone an army colonel like Tang Dao, even if it was a major general or a lieutenant general, who came to the military and political department to do business, wouldn’t his face be as warm as the spring breeze in March?

As a result, when it came to Tang Dao, he immediately said, "I am a porcupine. If lions and tigers want to eat me, they have to stab me with thorns!" The key is that it is really true.

The Colonel Chief of Staff of the Military and Political Department had a hunch that if there was a conflict, the Tang Datuan in front of him could use him as a shield like an eagle catching a chick, and the guy behind the Tang Datuan with a big sword on his back could cut Captain Shen, who had two guns hidden on his body, in half with one sword.

If Tang Dao knew what this person was thinking, he would definitely look at him differently. He guessed at least half of it.

However, if there was a conflict, it would not be him but Shen Tianwang who would be the shield. First of all, the armed guards who came were all from the Military Control Commission, not the Military and Political Department. Secondly, there might be room for maneuver if he was killed, but if Shen Jingang was killed, Director Dai would have to fight Tang Dao to the death. The status of the two in the hearts of their respective bosses was very different.

He was a typical person who overestimated himself and underestimated Tang Dao. Fortunately, he was just doing management in the Military and Political Department. If he was placed on the front line, he would only be at the level of a company commander.

After leaving the airport, several trucks pulling tarpaulins formed a convoy. At a fork in the road, they split into three routes and drove into the urban area of ​​Shancheng. Even if someone knew that Tang Dao had arrived in Shancheng, no one knew that Tang Dao was in that truck.

To everyone's surprise, Tang Dao and his four companions, who had already changed into casual clothes in the car, were sent to the best hotel in the center of Shancheng. The hotel not only had good conditions, but also had an independent underground air-raid shelter. There were sentry boxes and armed guards at the gate.

In wartime, it is not only rare to achieve such a perfect combination of safety and luxury in any period, but also requires a deep background.

"This is the property of Minister Song's family. It only receives well-known bigwigs in the country. Minister He personally greeted us. However, for the sake of confidentiality, you are not Captain Tang here, but Manager Liu, an entrepreneur who took refuge here from the southeast." Shen Jingang explained to Tang Dao.

"Okay! A small retreat in the mountains, a big retreat in the city, thank you for your concern, both officers and Captain Shen." Tang Dao nodded and smiled.

The Military Control Commission was able to develop into the largest intelligence agency in Asia in just a few years. In addition to the one who spent all his financial resources to build it, the mind and ability of Director Dai were also one of the main factors.

For example, the practice of placing Tang Dao directly in a luxury hotel in the city center is to do the opposite, and it seems to have no connection with the military at all.

Of course, when I heard that it was the Song family's property, I'm afraid there was also a factor of giving money to Minister Song. Just looking at the luxurious decoration inside the room, I'm afraid that the room fee for the four people staying for one night must have cost a lot, not to mention other consumption, which must be paid with public funds.

Killing several birds with one stone, I can only say that Director Dai is a smart man among smart men.

"Outside the hotel, my detective team will have 24 people in three shifts 24 hours a day to monitor all suspicious situations. This is my phone number. Captain Tang can call me if you find anything in the hotel." Shen Jingang took out a pen and wrote a string of phone numbers on a piece of white paper and handed it to Tang Dao.

"Before reporting the frontline situation to the commander, how should I arrange my trip?" Tang Dao took the white paper and asked casually.

"As long as you don't wear military uniforms and show off in the city, you can arrange it freely, Captain Tang. Although the Japanese have planted spies in the mountain city, with the efforts of my brothers in the investigation bureau in the past two years, there are only a few fish that slipped through the net. It's not as sinister as you imagine, Captain Tang." In his own field, Shen Jingang showed his confidence in front of Tang Dao for the first time.

However, the subtext is to tell Tang Dao that they are not enemies. The Military Control Commission is responsible for Tang Dao's safety, not restricting Tang Dao's freedom.

"Okay! Thank you, Captain Shen. If Captain Shen visits southeastern Shanxi or southern Hebei someday, I, Tang Dao, will do my best to be a good host!" Tang Dao smiled and shook Shen Jingang's hand.

"I don't deserve it. We are all serving the country." Shen Jingang was also very humble.

The atmosphere was completely relaxed and the two even ordered some wine and food in the hotel room. Each of them drank nearly half a catty of white wine. Both of them were talkative people. During the meal, they talked about the country, people's livelihood, and war. They were also very happy, just like old friends who had not seen each other for many years. It was not until 10 o'clock in the evening that Shen Jingang said goodbye and left.

"Sir, it seems that the danger of coming to Shancheng is not as great as we thought before. The Military and Political Department did not keep a close watch on us." Pang Zilong saw Tang Dao's relaxed expression and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

This young Chinese elite was not afraid of the Japanese. If they dared to come, they would kill them. But the thought of being dealt with by his own people always made him feel uncomfortable.

"Haha! Nothing in this world is born out of nothing. If you stand in the light, there will be a shadow behind you. It's so quiet in the middle of the night because you haven't heard any sound yet." Tang Dao stood in the shadow of the window curtains, looking at the few lights outside the window, but his face was much heavier than before.

The largest intelligence agency under his command has minions all over China, and even the lieutenant general of the army can be arrested at will. When has he ever been so tolerant of a "arrogant and domineering" little army colonel?

Great military exploits? If this was more than a year ago, it might have some effect, but since the relationship between the United States and Japan has reached a freezing point, the ecstatic man who embraced the thigh of the United States, and the continuous aid will be shipped from India to China, the general is no longer so indispensable to him.

It won't take too long for Captain Shen to report everything he saw after meeting Tang Dao at the airport to his immediate superior! Only in this way, the suspicious Director Dai will truly believe that it was Tang Dao himself who came to the mountain city, not a fake.

The so-called freedom of movement is just talk!

Tang Dao stood in the shadow of the light, silently looking into the distance. 380 meters away, there were two groups of gunmen lurking in the houses, staring at this place in the dark. 380 meters away, even on the battlefield, they could be classified as sharpshooters!

In order to deal with Tang Dao, the army attacked in unison, that is, two groups!

The so-called tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, that's what it means! Fighting spirit surged in Tang Dao's eyes. What about the bigwigs who can turn the clouds and rain with a flip of their hands? They are willing to cut the emperor off his horse. What about him, a visitor from another time and space who is about to become a father, fighting with them?

"There are people outside helping us stand guard. They have worked hard for a while. Let's continue to rest well these two days. I will take you to visit the mountain city in two days. Don't rush to leave Uncle Han. I have notified my father and sent someone to pick you up in the mountain city. You can also take a look at the apprentice I found for you." Tang Dao waved his hand and drove away Pang Zilong who was about to set up his own sniper point in the room.

"Instructor Ming, what did the commander just say?" Pang Zilong was still a little confused when he thought of what Tang Dao said just now.

"There are many demons in this chaotic world, most of them are in human form, but if they show up, there is nothing else. I have a sword and I will kill them all!" Ming Xin sat cross-legged in the corner of the room, put the heavy sword of the master on his legs, and answered lightly.

Pang Zilong

Is this kind of witty words popular now? Pang Zilong felt that his brain was almost not enough.

The front line is still good! No need to think, just use the battlefield environment to hide yourself, one shot and one shot, one small Japanese soldier, crisp, simple and neat!

However, people will always grow up, and with the change of status and experience, the responsibilities on their shoulders will also become greater and greater.

Many years later, Pang Zilong, who led thousands of people across the green river, would sigh with emotion when he recalled the soldier who scratched his head because of his commander's paradoxical words when he was young?

. . . . . . . . . .

In the next few days, Chief He of the Military and Political Department must have been extremely busy, and he did not notify Tang Dao to report to the Military and Political Department.

The next day after arriving in the mountain city, Tang Dao called the little foreign girl who was already living in the consulate area, but the little foreign girl said that she was entertaining important guests, and the two agreed to meet again in three days.

Another old acquaintance of the mountain city, Fan Shaozeng, is no longer in the mountain city. After Tang Dao's suggestion, this woman took the route of a wife and obtained the military position of lieutenant general by raising military expenses by herself, and formed the famous Eighteenth Eighth Army in the future. military.

Just like in the past, Commander Fan, who spent all his wealth to recruit 4 soldiers of the security regiment, swore to fight in the mountain city last year and left a sentence: "In the past, fighting civil wars only harmed the people. This time to resist the Japanese invasion, I will lose everything." , I will fight with you to drive away the Japanese.”

After one year of the Anti-Japanese War, Commander Fan Da, who was determined to resist the Japanese, swept away the bad luck of his grandmother not being close to him and his uncle not loving him during those two years. The 88th Army was awarded by the Ministry of Military Affairs and dozens of medals and medals at all levels issued by the Military Commission, and was upgraded to a military unit. 3 divisions of the A Corps.

The families of Commander Guo and Commander Rao were not in the mountain city but in their old homes far away from the city. Even if Tang Dao, a descendant of the Sichuan Army, wanted to visit, he knew that it would be difficult to do so in the current situation.

He can wander around the mountain city. If he leaves, the military command and the Ministry of Military Affairs will not be very nervous. It is not that they are afraid of Tang Dao running away, but that the mountain city is still under their control, but outside the mountain city, spies and traitors can't It was all over the place, and Tang Dao didn't want to cause that trouble.

Let's just treat it as a tourist vacation. The four of Tang Dao wore casual clothes and went to visit the famous Ciqikou Old Street and Hongya Cave in the mountain city.

At that time, Hongyadong was far from the brightly illuminated style where merchants would gather in the future. However, as an important military location in ancient times, it formed a complex including the Jianggai Fort, the City Wall, and the City Wall. The historical relics of the Liang Dynasty and the Rong Dynasty are also one of the twelve scenic spots in Bayu, "Hongya dripping green".

As Tang Dao, who has experienced walking through mountains and seas just to see the crowds of people in the future, standing in front of these ancient cliffs and dilapidated stilted buildings built on the mountains, the feeling could not be more mysterious.

But what is more attractive than the scenery is the food.

The authentic tripe hot pot in Shancheng is famous for its thick and heavy oil. The traditional soup is prepared with Pixian spicy bean paste, Yongchuan tempeh, Ganzi butter, and Hanyuan peppercorns as raw materials. First, put the butter into a pot with high heat and boil it. Then chop the watercress and pour it into it. After it boils into red oil, stir-fry the peppercorns quickly, then mix it with the original beef stock, add the minced tempeh and crushed tempeh. Stew rock sugar, old ginger, Sichuan salt, fermented glutinous rice wine and small chili peppers.

Not to mention how it tastes, just looking at the production process is enough to make you want to eat it.

In a small riverside shop near Hongya Cave, even though it is early summer and the temperature in the mountain city has already exceeded 33 degrees, the four of them are shirtless, sweating profusely, holding fresh tripes in the hot pot and simmering them. Call Shuangli.

This way of eating attracted the attention of a lonely middle-aged man in robes next to him, his eyes full of envy.

Obviously, for this person, although the way the Tang Dao Four eat is quite indecent, being able to have such a happy meal is what a scholar like him wants.

It's a pity that he has no friends around him, and he has many things on his mind.

"Brother, if you don't mind, can you come and share a table with us? I see that the duck blood you ordered is extremely fresh, but just now the boss told me that it has been sold out. Liu has not returned home for a long time and is very greedy. !" Tang Dao turned to greet the lonely diner.

"Okay! I not only have duck blood here, but also good wine!" The middle-aged man was slightly startled, but then a smile appeared on his face. He leaned over and took out a bottle of Laobaigan wine from the package at his feet, and sat down boldly. Uncle Han took action.

Just this action showed that this middle-aged man had extremely high personal accomplishments. Although he could tell that Tang Dao was the most respected among the four, he did not choose to sit in the seat of Pang Zilong who had already given way to him. Instead, he chose to sit next to Uncle Han, who was already over sixty years old. This not only showed respect for the owner of Tang Dao, but also respect for the elderly.

His magnanimity was all hidden in the details, and he quickly gained the favor of several people. Even those who spoke the least words, Mingxin, gave them a kind smile.

"This is a famous wine from my hometown. Let this old man and three younger brothers try it. It's just a pity that such a good wine, Wang only has this bottle in his hand. I don't know when he wants to drink it again. "The middle-aged man unscrewed the bottle cap and looked at the wine from his hometown. He couldn't help feeling lonely in his eyes.

My hometown has become an enemy-occupied area, and my fellow villagers are all at their mercy. Anyone who thinks about it will be sad!

"So I'm from Pingbeicheng!" Tang Dao nodded and asked politely. "My surname is Liu Mingtao, from eastern Sichuan. I currently run a small business to make ends meet. These are my brothers who work with me. I don't know what I call you."

"My surname is Wang Mingzhu. Now I can barely do some small work in machining! Just like my brother, I can still support my family." The middle-aged man hesitated slightly, but saw the sincerity in Tang Dao's eyes before he spoke.

"Oh! Brother Wang, I toast you." Tang Dao picked up the wine glass and planned to toast a glass of wine first.

But in an instant, Wang Zhu's name was like a bolt of lightning, piercing the sky.

Tang Dao looked at the middle-aged man in his forties with two mustaches in front of him, dumbfounded!
