Rise From Eight Hundred

This winter night in the southeast can definitely be regarded as the night that most subverts the impression of Jiangnan talents on soldiers.

Tantai Yunshu was named the Three Masters of Calligraphy, Painting, and Poetry, and was ranked among the best in calligraphy and painting in the south of the Yangtze River. I don’t know how many rich people and nobles paid 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? Don't be afraid of being in the dark night and try 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 that time, couldn't help but feel guilty. Sir, don't tell me where you 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 so wonderful!" Tantai Yunshu let out a long breath and looked at the little second lieutenant platoon leader cautiously. "I don't know who wrote this poem. Can Platoon Commander Lu tell me? If I'm lucky enough to meet him someday, Tantai Yun Shu will definitely 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 chuckled.

After all, Tantai Yunshu had lived for decades. Although he was 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 extremely familiar with, and the answer was readily apparent.

However, compared to the previous arrogance due to dissatisfaction with Battalion Commander Tang, the Jiangnan talented man was now at a loss for words. He cited limited manpower as an explanation, and 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 smart 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 poem! Our battalion commander specially taught it to me when I was leading the army. He said that Mr. Tantai, you must test our talents. Then 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 could guess what he was trying to show off through this skill.

"Hmph! When I see you again in a while, I will personally fight with 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 so much that 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 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. It seems that, together with 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 to have the intention of not giving up until the entire Sixth Division was killed. 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 it 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 vehicle and ran all the way, planning to burn them when they almost arrived at the location.

Who knew that the order from that bastard Ushijima Sadao came again, requiring him to send out scouts to bypass the enemy and conduct reconnaissance on the Chinese rear to prevent the Chinese from escaping again under the cover of night.

Well! From a military perspective, there is nothing wrong with this. Masanori Tanigawa also understands the principle that people have to bow their heads under the eaves, even if these orders fall on the 36th Infantry Brigade as the vanguard.

But at night, Ushijima Sadao, who had arrived six kilometers from the front line and built a divisional command post, held a military meeting. This time, he notified Masanori Tanigawa, the acting brigade commander, to attend.

However, after hearing that Masanori Tanigawa had sent two squads totaling 30 people to bypass the two wings, and the farthest reconnaissance point was five kilometers deep into the Chinese defense line, he was furious on the spot and ordered the 36th Infantry Brigade to send at least ten groups of reconnaissance pioneers, not only to scout the movements of the Chinese, but also to attack the Chinese baggage, medical and other weakly protected troops in the rear, and wait for an opportunity to destroy the rear roads to slow down the Chinese retreat.

This is too much, it is clear that the rhythm of the elite infantry he sent out cannot come back! Do you think the Chinese are really made of mud? Masanori Tanigawa, who had fought with the Chinese army several times along the way and was beaten black and blue, obviously had lost his previous pride. Even if the opponent was in a state of retreat, he did not dare to take it lightly.

In the past, he always accepted this kind of military order that could establish military merit, unlike now, hiding in the military tent like a trapped beast and cursing, even ignoring the strict hierarchy system.

But the sad thing is that even though Tanigawa Masanori cursed, he knew that the military order had to be carried out.

The Chinese were really insidious. During the day, they not only destroyed the road that could be used for carriages, but also buried mines in inconspicuous places along the way. Although the number was small, it seriously hindered the army's marching speed.

In order to complete the military order, he had to leave the artillery and the baggage troops behind. The light infantry trudged through 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 the closest to the front line was still four or five kilometers away.

If his 36th Infantry Brigade did not send such a scout scout, could he still expect the 18th Division several kilometers away to send it?

The situation was stronger than the people, and Tanigawa Masanori had to pinch his nose and order his infantry battalions to draw personnel to form 15 squad-level, detachment-level, and group-level special forces, using the protection of the night to lurk into the rear of the battlefield from the two wings of the Chinese Jiaxing defense line.

A total of more than 160 people were sent, almost another infantry squadron.

However, Tanigawa Masanori also kept a watchful eye. The order that Ushijima Sadao requested to attack the Chinese weakly defended troops and destroy the roads was changed to each group deciding whether to attack or not according to the situation.

To put it bluntly, it is best not to fight if you can. You just need to keep an eye on the Chinese. If the main force of the Chinese moves, fire flares or set fire to the pile of smoke for warning.

Tanigawa Masanori was not so generous as to equip the reconnaissance team that sneaked into the battlefield behind enemy lines with field radios. In fact, except for a squad-level reconnaissance team equipped with a field radio for communication, the rest of the people were at most equipped with a signal gun.

It's not that the landlords have no surplus food, but that the landlords are about to become poor and lower-middle peasants.

The night raid the night before not only wiped out three infantry squadrons, but also lost two field radios from the infantry battalion. At this moment, with the telephone lines not yet fully laid, Tanigawa Masanori had to rely on the two short legs of the signalman to find the two infantry battalion leaders.

As one thing went up, the other went down. The independent battalion, which had seized another intact Japanese field radio, now had one for each company except the baggage company and the special agent company. The communication was so awesome that it was unique among the Chinese and Japanese armies in Jiaxing, including the Japanese army.

Tang Dao, who was used to the future communication to individual soldiers, was not particularly satisfied.

Just like at five in the morning, he had clearly seen a team of Japanese soldiers quietly entering an empty village, but he could not silently notify the infantry company several kilometers away to ambush.
