Rise From Eight Hundred

Chapter 372: No Care for Life

"Little brat, where are you from? Can you use a gun?" Standing outside the woods, Erya looked at the young soldier with two Mauser pistols hanging on his body, feeling a little unhappy and curious.

She was unhappy because the young soldier took the position that originally belonged to him, and she was curious! He was less than 1.5 meters tall and had two Mauser pistols hanging on his body. Who was he trying to scare!

"Don't look down on me. The commander personally asked me to follow him." Xia Dayu glanced angrily at Erya, who was only a few centimeters taller than him.

"So awesome? Tell me what you have that made the commander take a fancy to you?" Erya looked at the arrogant boy with some amusement.

"I" Xia Dayu's nose suddenly felt sour, and he suddenly lowered his head to hide his crystal eyes, but he could no longer speak.

He thought of Uncle Crow again.

If it weren't for Crow, he knew he wouldn't survive, and Tang Dao wouldn't take a fancy to him and bring him with him personally. All this was brought to him by the man who had turned himself into an arrow and shot at the Japanese devils.

However, the man who was as firm as a mountain, was gone forever.

"Why are you crying again! I'm sorry, little brother! I shouldn't have mentioned your sad story." Erya hurriedly handed over the towel that had just been washed and tied to her belt, with a look of apology in her eyes.

The thoughtful signalman was very sensitive to the grief in the young soldier's heart, and hurried to make amends, and naturally no longer had the intention of teasing the little guy who occupied his position.

"It's okay, the commander said that sooner or later I will become a soldier like my uncle Crow, the strongest soldier." The boy rejected Erya's kindness, wiped his eyes with his somewhat wide and dirty sleeves, and said stubbornly.

"Then tell me about your uncle Crow, and I will tell you how the commander led us to fight the Japanese in the Sihang Warehouse." Erya said softly.

"Okay!" The boy could feel the kindness released by Erya, and answered in a muffled voice.

Tang Dao's two servicemen and communication soldiers were getting acquainted with each other outside the woods, listening to each other's stories, and Tang Dao was also trying to persuade the two commanders in the woods.

"No! This is absolutely not possible!" Lieutenant General Wu almost roared and rejected Tang Dao's proposal. "Take the elite of the entire army to bomb the Japanese, Tang Dao, did your kid's head get damaged by the shells?"

Lieutenant General Guo, who was standing next to him, also smoked with an ugly face and said nothing.

Before leaving Songjiang, the two had discussed that if the Japanese army sent out reconnaissance planes and the marching position of the large army was exposed, the Japanese army would definitely send bombers to bomb.

Although they had sent a secret order to the theater headquarters in the early morning, informing them that they had already withdrawn from Songjiang and were heading towards Kunshan, and requested the Air Force to send fighter planes to cover them, the Air Force suffered huge losses in the war, and this request was almost useless.

The most effective way is to separate a detachment to continue marching forward, and the main force will be hidden for the time being, so that the main force can avoid the terrible bombing of the Japanese planes.

To put it bluntly, the detached division was not even a bait, but a complete abandonment.

Most of the people exposed to the sight of Japanese planes will use their lives to cover the rest.

This kind of abandonment is naturally different from abandoning the wounded, but it is still an extremely cruel choice.

The two generals were in trouble again. They were reluctant to send that infantry brigade to be abandoned.

Who knew that Tang Dao, this guy, not only came to ask for a battle again, but also wanted to bring the air defense battalion, three cavalry battalions, and three guard battalions.

The Sihang Battalion and the Guard Battalion are already the elite of the entire army. If the cavalry battalion, the guard battalion, and the air defense battalion are added, doesn’t it mean that the elite of the entire army will be sent to the muzzle of the Japanese planes?

What did Tang Dao think? He thought he was going to fight with the Japanese infantry with bayonets! It would be strange if Lieutenant General Wu didn’t get angry.

"Two commanders, listen to me, I don't want to play any battle with Japanese planes on the ground." Tang Dao probably didn't expect that his proposal would stimulate Lieutenant General Wu so much, and he hurriedly explained with a bitter face.

"I'll give you three minutes, and get out of here after you finish speaking."

"That's what I think"

As Tang Dao's fingers moved on the captured Japanese military map, talking about his ideas, both the roaring Lieutenant General Wu and the smoking Lieutenant General Guo opened their eyes in disbelief.

They finally understood Tang Dao's intention to bring the essence of the entire army.

When ordinary people play chess, it is extremely strong to take one step and look two steps ahead, but at this time, Tang Dao has already looked at least five steps ahead.

It is a very modest statement to say that he is so wise that he is almost a demon.

However, no matter how smart you are, you still have to rely on your strength on the battlefield. If you can't avoid the bombing of Japanese planes this time, everything is empty talk.

"Sir, before we realize this plan, we can only gamble, gamble that our contribution this time is great enough, gamble that the article of reporter Tan Tai is influential enough, gamble that the person would rather lose the fighter plane than bear the infamy." Tang Dao continued. "Besides, even if we lose the gamble, the enemy knows clearly and I know not, and they want to kill me, I will tear a piece of flesh from the damn devil alive. We may not lose everything."

The two lieutenant generals looked at each other in silence.

They all knew that the lives of thousands of people depended on their thoughts.

The suggestion proposed by Tang Dao was extremely risky. If it failed, the essence of the whole army would be wiped out, but if it succeeded, it might also completely change the battlefield situation, and the vitality of the whole army in Songjiang would increase by 30%.

The Japanese reconnaissance plane had already gone far away, and a large number of Japanese bombers would arrive at an unknown time, so there was no time for them to be silent.

Three minutes later.

"I order that the Songjiang advance group be formed by the Sihang Battalion, the Songjiang Command's direct security battalion, the 107th Division's direct security battalion and cavalry battalion, the 108th Division's direct security battalion and cavalry battalion, the 67th Army's direct security battalion, cavalry battalion, anti-aircraft battalion, and baggage battalion. The highest commander is Lieutenant Colonel Tang Dao, deputy director of the staff department under the Songjiang Command." Lieutenant General Wu finished the appointment in one breath. "This order will be notified to the entire army immediately. The troops will be assembled in half an hour. The entire army must obey his command before returning to their respective units. Those who violate the order will be punished by wartime military law!"

"Yes!" Tang Dao raised his hand to salute and turned away.

He had already persuaded the two highest commanders to win a glimmer of hope for the retreating troops. Then, he had to fight for the future and fate of the more than 3,000 people he was about to lead.

"Take care!"

The two generals looked at Tang Dao's back as he left and returned the salute.

The busy staff officers around also stood at attention and saluted with their commanders.

At this moment, they finally knew why the two commanders valued Tang Dao so much.

It was not because of how amazing Tang Dao's strategic planning was, nor how powerful he was, but because he always stood up when the whole army was in the most difficult time.

He knew that he was exchanging his life for his own, but he didn't care about his life.

Who wouldn't like such a subordinate?

The soldiers with admiration in their eyes certainly didn't know that Tang Dao, who was so willing to sacrifice his life, was not only because he was a Chinese soldier, but also because they, who were saluting, had also sacrificed their lives for this country.

Most of them left their young lives in the surging river ten kilometers away in the past time and space.

You earned a piece of sky for us at the cost of your life, so I will return at the cost of my life on behalf of the people who have the freedom to breathe.

That's all!

"I want to go with you too!" Tan Tai Mingyue chased out of the woods.

"No!" Tang Dao, who had already greeted two signal soldiers to leave, had a slightly condensed look in his eyes, and shook his head with a cold face and refused firmly.

Turned his head and continued to move forward.

"Ten days ago, you were fighting the Japanese in the Sihang Warehouse. I watched the warehouse collapse and buried the Japanese, so I waited for you by the Suzhou River for three days. I didn't even know whether you were dead or alive.

Seven days ago, you were fighting the Japanese in Cangcheng, and I stood in the fortifications of the city wall and watched the artillery fire two miles away. I just wanted to be closer to you. But I know that it is still too far. You were injured and I couldn't bandage you. Your brothers died in the battle and I couldn't comfort you.

Three days ago, you went outside the city alone to snipe the Japanese high-ranking officials, and I could only wait at the headquarters. Waiting for the news of your return, I have never felt that time would be so slow. I want time to go faster, even if I will soon become an old woman with wrinkles on my face, as long as I can hear the news of your return.

So this time, I don’t want to wait far away from you anymore, it is really a more painful experience than death.

I want to stay by your side. If you die, I will help you clean your body and bury you in the soil; if I die, you will do the same to me. When the war is over, just come to see me more often. "

Tan Tai Ming Yue raised her head and looked at Tang Dao’s back, who was about to leave, and said softly.

The beautiful woman did not utter a word of "love" in her words, but the surging love burned the blood of the two signalmen standing aside.

This may also be the first time in her life that the beautiful reporter bravely confided her heart, because another fierce battle was coming.

But this time, even Tang Dao put his life on the gambling table.

Tan Tai Ming Yue knew that if she didn’t say it again, she might never have the chance to say it again.

Tang Dao, who was walking with his back to him, suddenly stiffened and became a little dazed...

ps: My daughter had a half-day holiday today, so I went to pick her up from school. I had dinner outside a little late, so please forgive me!
