Rise From Eight Hundred

"Very good!" Tang Dao, with a frosty face, smiled.

His smile was extremely brilliant.

Because, no matter in that era, he had such a group of comrades who chose to stand shoulder to shoulder with him.

Fearless of life and death!

He was not alone, even if he would fall into the extremely cold abyss of death.

"I am really happy, happy that you made the same choice as me. I think you also understand that you may die with such a choice, but I am even more proud of you! Proud that you have become the most beautiful people of this era."

"Before rushing to our respective battlefields, please accept my salute, the most beautiful you!" Tang Dao raised his right hand and solemnly saluted everyone present.

"Return the salute!" Lei Xiong roared in a low voice.

At this moment, this equally outstanding soldier finally understood why Tang Dao could be the highest commander of the army in front of him, while he was only his deputy. It was not the so-called difference in personal strength, but that Tang Dao had a temperament belonging to a soldier in his bones, the temperament of a Chinese soldier.

Tang Dao could have relied on his brilliant military exploits to return to the battlefield with the two lieutenant generals who admired him. With military exploits, appreciation from his superiors, and the rank of colonel that others envied, it might not take long for him to move up to a higher level, a level that many soldiers could never reach in their entire lives.

But Tang Dao gave up and chose a road that he could hardly see the way back. What kind of state of mind is this! But perhaps, this is what a real soldier looks like! It is his honor to be a comrade-in-arms with such a person.

"Shua!" All the officers and soldiers present raised their hands to salute their superiors.

Perhaps, like Lei Xiong thought, these ordinary soldiers also had the same honor.

The superior and his soldiers just looked at each other silently, with the highest way of saluting as a soldier.

Before the war came, this was the last time that more than 2,000 officers and soldiers present saluted each other with their highest superior.

Not only did they no longer wear military ranks on the battlefield.

But no one knew whether the person saluting would still be alive.

Today's sunshine is really warm!

The warmth made her eyes hot.

But she didn't know that on the mountain, standing at the highest point of the position, Tan Tai Mingyue and several female nurses had already burst into tears.

These were their brothers, who went to the battlefield without hesitation for them behind them.

They were proud of them.

"All company commanders stay, and the rest of the army returns to their temporary bases to wait!" Tang Dao put down his arm and ordered.

Each company was led away by the deputy company commander, leaving only a group of company commanders to gather around.

Most of the officers looked very solemn, they knew that Tang Dao's speech to boost morale was just a prelude, and now was the moment to truly decide everyone's fate.

Three high grounds need troops to be stationed.

Any high ground may become the second Jiepai Village.

"Because the 145th Division suffered heavy losses in Jiepai Village and cannot afford to fight again, this battle will be led by our independent battalion and the revenge regiment. Hill No. 1 needs two infantry companies, Hill No. 2 needs two infantry companies, and Hill No. 3 needs two infantry companies. The first batch of troops stationed in the position need to hold off the Japanese for at least two days, and will not be replaced until tomorrow evening, because we only have 13 infantry companies in total." Tang Dao pointed to the hill behind him and went straight to the point, looking at these lieutenants and captains with a sharp gaze.

"I need the bravest group of you. Only bravery can stop the first two most fierce attacks of the Japanese army."

"Report to the commander, the first company of my independent battalion requests to fight! Guard Hill No. 1!" Leng Feng did not hesitate.

"Report to the commander, the second company of my independent battalion requests to fight! Guard Hill No. 1!" Li Jiujin was not to be outdone.

"I am the 3rd Company of the Independent Battalion, and I want to fight!"

"I am the 4th Company of the Independent Battalion, and I want to fight!"

"I am the 2nd Company of the First Revenge Battalion, and I want to fight!"

Almost at the same time, Qian Dazhu, Zhao Daqiang, and a second lieutenant of the Sichuan Army stood up.

Needless to say, the four company commanders of the Independent Battalion were all the best grassroots officers promoted by Tang Dao himself. Whether it was their fearless will on the battlefield or their obedience to military orders, they all stood up at the first time.

However, Tang Dao was a little surprised that a company commander of the Revenge Regiment had such a resolute attitude.

Looking closely, it turned out that the second lieutenant who stood up was a company commander promoted by Tang Dao himself after the battle of Jiepai yesterday evening. He was also the only infantry platoon leader who remained on the battlefield when Tang Dao arrived at the left wing battlefield of Jiepai Village.

"First Company of the First Revenge Battalion, and I want to fight!" After a slight hesitation, another captain company commander also stood out.

"Please fight!"

"All members of the revenge regiment, please fight!"

...

Finally, after hesitating for a few seconds, the three Sichuan Army majors and their subordinates finally stood up.

They were not ordinary soldiers, and would not be easily dazzled by Tang Dao's speech of patriotism.

Every decision they made was related to the life and death of their brothers who lived with them day and night.

The matter was of great importance, and it was absolutely impossible for them and the officers of the independent battalion to follow Tang Dao so resolutely.

The fact that they could finally make a decision in nearly ten seconds was because they were moved by Tang Dao's words just now, and they were forced by the situation that the Japanese army was chasing them.

Although Tang Dao had some things to say, such as his battalion commander, a colonel, was also responsible for supervising the battle in the entire defense zone, but no one dared to forget his power of decisively shooting the colonel regiment commander yesterday.

An army colonel with the background of a general deputy commander of a group army can kill at will. What will happen if these majors and captains dare not obey military orders? You can figure it out with your heels.

"Very good!" Tang Dao glanced at the other Sichuan Army officers who overcame his hesitation. "Everyone present here today, your descendants should be proud of you."

"Order!" Tang Dao's face suddenly became serious.

All the officers held their breath and stood up straight.

"Establish a joint command post for the Laoshushan battlefield, with Division Commander Rao as the supreme commander and Brigade Commander Tong as the second commander. It has an operations department, with Colonel Tang Dao as the director and Lieutenant Colonel Lei Xiong as the deputy director!"

"1st Company of the Independent Battalion, 1st Company of the First Avenger Battalion, and 1st Platoon of the Fire Support Company of the Independent Battalion, stationed at Hill No. 1!"

"4th Company of the Independent Battalion, 2nd Company of the Second Avenger Battalion, and 2nd Platoon of the Fire Support Company of the Independent Battalion, stationed at Hill No. 2!"

"1st Company of the First Avenger Battalion, 3rd Company of the Third Avenger Battalion, and 3rd Platoon of the Fire Support Company of the Independent Battalion, stationed at Hill No. 3!"

"Yes!" Most officers responded in unison.

"That's it. If there are any military supplies or personnel supplements for all battalions and companies in the army, go to Deputy Battalion Commanders Lei and Guo and Chief of Staff Zhuang to solve it." After Tang Dao finished speaking, he waved his hand to indicate that the military meeting was over.

He waved his hand to call Erya over.

Nearly twenty officers had not had time to disperse.

"Sir! Where is my 3rd Company going? Don't let us down! I can't explain to my brothers!" Qian Dazhu was stunned and shook his head in disbelief.

"Yes! Sir, what about my 2nd Company? Who is qualified to let my 2nd Company be the reserve team?" Li Jiujin probably didn't expect that he would be a reserve team one day.

Damn it, these crazy people in the independent battalion! Several Sichuan Army infantry company commanders who didn't hear their numbers were silently relieved in their hearts, and they were really shocked by several infantry company commanders in the independent battalion.

If these people responded to Tang Dao's question at the first time, it was just an attitude or standing in line in their eyes, then now, the performance of the middle-aged uncle and the young man has proved that they really want to go to the battlefield, and there is no falsehood at all.

It turns out that the crazy colonel brought a bunch of crazy brothers!

"Li Jiujin, what the hell are you talking about? How can I be a reserve for my 1st company and insult your 2nd company?" Leng Feng was unhappy, glanced at Li Jiujin with a sidelong glance, and snorted.

"Hehe, Captain Leng, don't be angry, I didn't say anything about you." Li Jiujin hurriedly smiled.

Not only was Leng Feng his old superior, but his muscular body was also not something that he, Li, could match. A good man would not suffer a loss in front of him, right? Captain Li knew this very well.

Zhao Daqiang pulled his mouth in dissatisfaction, but he didn't say anything after all. After all, he knew that Li Jiujin was not targeting him.

Only a few Sichuan Army majors looked embarrassed, but they knew who this old soldier with a ruffian face was referring to.

"Captain Li, if you say that, I have nothing to say now, brother, let's see the truth on the battlefield and see if my brothers and I are qualified." The second lieutenant of the Sichuan Army was a young man, and he said with his neck stiff.

He had seen the strength of Li Jiujin and his second company on the battlefield of Jiepai Village, and he admired them very much, but this did not mean that Li Jiujin could say that they were not qualified.

The blood of the 20 brothers in his platoon was not shed in vain, and he had to earn this breath for them.

This was the original intention of the young second lieutenant company commander.

The three Sichuan Army majors winked at this young man, asking him not to fight with this infantry company commander who was obviously a confidant of Tang Dao.

Tell me, will he die or what?

Who knew that Li Jiujin's performance surprised them.

"Ouch! Brother Donglai, I was anxious and spoke without restraint. I apologize to the brothers!" Li Jiujin was pushed, but he was not as angry as the Sichuan Army officers imagined, but was very polite.

At this time, of course, they did not know that brave people only look up to people like them.

Li Jiujin did not know what other officers and soldiers of the Xuechi Group would do on the battlefield, but the officer named Wei Donglai and his subordinates in front of him were definitely worthy of Li Jiujin's high regard.

Facing more than 2,000 enemies, more than 30 Sichuan Army soldiers holding old weapons trembled in the trenches, but they did not retreat.

This alone is worth it.

"Are you two the superiors, or am I the superior? Do I have to explain to each of you the mental journey of my deployment?" Tang Dao, who ordered Erya to record the battle report, turned his head and glared at the two questioning officers.

The young man Qian Dazhu quickly shut up and stood at attention.

Only Li Jiujin was still licking his face, "Sir, I dare not! Just asking!"

"Okay, everyone hasn't had breakfast yet, so let's take this opportunity to have breakfast together. If you have any questions or dissatisfaction, ask now! However, if anyone jumps for me again in the future, don't blame me for being ruthless in military law." Tang Dao naturally didn't really get angry, and waved his hand and said casually. "Erya, go notify the kitchen team and get some pancakes and porridge."

It can be regarded as revealing the matter that the two guys who jumped up just now caused.

He could also take this opportunity to observe those Sichuan Army officers and lieutenants more.
