Rise From Eight Hundred

Tang Dao certainly attached great importance to General Wu and his party.

The temporary garrison of the Four-Line Regiment was 70 to 80 kilometers away from the headquarters of the 67th Army, so it was impossible for them to come on horseback. They came in four trucks, with a guard company accompanying them. The cavalry battalion commander Gong Shaoxun led a cavalry platoon to scout ahead early.

Tang Dao ordered several lieutenants in the regiment to receive the guard company and the cavalry platoon. Each of them was given a large bowl of meat and white rice, but they were not given wine because they had to escort the military.

In addition, to show their importance, not only the three main officers of the regiment attended, but also the two battalion commanders Guo Shouzhi and Leng Feng were called to come, and the five giants of the Four-Line Regiment were all present to accompany them.

When Tan Tai Mingyue heard that General Wu had come from afar to visit, she naturally put down all the things at hand and made a Jiangnan specialty dish for General Wu.

Then the kitchen team also made a pot of stew with the stored air-dried chicken and the prey hunted by Hammer in the mountains and forests.

Wu Dajun said before that he was tired of eating big fat meat, which was of course a boast. There were more than 10,000 people to eat and 2,000 to 3,000 wounded to be treated. The military budget of the Military and Political Department had not been settled yet. Even if there were conditions, there might not be the appetite.

However, when it came to Tang Dao, there were few people who dared to play shameless with him with a violent temper, so he was in a very good mood.

There were side dishes and big fish and meat, plus a wine jar-level host to accompany him, which was simply a perfect match for getting drunk.

Tang Dao was a pure wine jar. No matter who toasted him, the colonel adjutant who accompanied Wu Dajun, the lieutenant colonel guard battalion commander, or Gong Shaoxun who was about to become his subordinate, he would drink to the bottom of the bowl.

Yes, it was the bowl for eating. Not to mention that a bowl was half a catty, three taels of wine was enough.

This way of drinking really suits the appetite of people in the Northeast.

After three rounds of drinking, each person drank an average of 70 to 80 taels of white wine.

That's not all, Tang Dao actually has a killer.

Three cute kids holding big bowls and looking at the big pot of meat appeared at the table.

This already made the middle-aged General Wu's heart melt. After Tang Dao introduced the stories of Yue Yiman, whose father accompanied the soldiers in the Battle of Sihang Warehouse and Shitou, who led the Japanese army away from his own troops, the soldiers of the 67th Army present were even more soft-hearted.

However, General Wu wanted to accept the three children as his grandchildren on the spot, which was really beyond Tang Dao's expectation.

You know, General Wu is not an ordinary infantry commander. He is already the second-in-command of the Northeast Army today. Even though the Northeast Army is no longer the strongest local army in the past, it has a foundation of more than 20 years of operation in the Northeast. From the fact that its leader did such a big thing and the Northeast Army did not move at all, it can be seen that it is strong.

To put it bluntly, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse, and its foundation is still there.

Moreover, this person had a lot of contact with that unit in the northwest, and many officers in his unit were from that unit. If such a person became the protector of Sanxiao, the three of them would definitely avoid many detours in the future.

As for the fact that they would definitely not be welcomed by the big boss who was in power in the future, it didn't matter. Sanxiao would not have much contact with that side during his growth.

Sometimes, choosing the right path is more important than one's own ability.

How could this be rejected? Both Leng Feng and Madam Yue, the guardians of the Shitou brothers and sisters, were delighted.

In this regard, Comrade Lao Wu was very traditional. He didn't just talk about it, but took advantage of Tang Dao's wine and used Tang Dao, the head of the Four Lines Group, as a witness. He sat on a chair and kowtowed to Sanxiao, and drank the three bowls of wine they brought.

Because he didn't expect this to happen, the lieutenant general of the army who accidentally had three grandchildren searched his body but couldn't find a decent gift.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and hung a jade pendant that his mother had given him since childhood and had worn for more than 30 years on Yue Yiman's neck. He also put the jade ring that his wife gave him when they got married on a red string and hung it on Ximei's chest. Shitou got the gift he wanted most.

After removing the bullets from his pistol, General Wu hung it on Shitou, who was so happy that his eyes were not smiling.

That was what Shitou had always thought about. He had always had a wooden gun that Leng Feng made for him in his spare time on his waist. Now it became a real gun, even if there were no bullets!

"Thank you, Grandpa!" Following the example of his uncles, Shitou saluted General Wu in the courtyard with his head held high.

Everyone laughed, and General Wu was so happy that he not only returned the salute, but also drank another bowl of wine.

Now, without the need for the four-line regiment's chief officers to toast, Comrade Lao Wu has already drunk a pound of white wine, and Tang Dao, the wine jar, let the soldiers present know what alcohol tolerance is.

In order to block the wine for their own superiors, several major officers of the 67th Army did not care about the face of the big brother, and took turns to toast Tang Dao, the little brother. As a result, Tang Dao still drank the wine to the bottom of the cup, regardless of whether it was a blatant round-robin battle.

As the first chief officer of the 67th Army, Comrade Lao Wu naturally could not weaken the momentum of the Northeast Army. He gritted his teeth and drank two or three bowls, and his eyes finally began to blur.

"Shaoxun! You have been with me, Lao Wu, for two years!" Comrade Lao Wu, who was drunk, patted Gong Shaoxun's shoulder, sitting beside him, and couldn't help sighing.

"Yes, military commander, it has been two years since you asked me from the young marshal." Gong Shaoxun hurriedly answered respectfully.

"When you came here, you were a captain. It took you two years to get promoted to major. Now you had to fight the Japanese to the death before you were promoted to lieutenant colonel. The promotion was a little slower." He said with a hint of drunkenness. Comrade Wu's eyes welled up with apology.

"Military Commander, your kindness to me will be something Shaoxun will never forget!" Gong Shaoxun shook his head quickly.

"There is a vacant deputy commander position in the army. I originally wanted you to go. Although Tang Dao is a jerk, he is right in what he said. You are a cavalry, and the stage that belongs to you is on horseback. Infantry Regiment There is no cavalry, but Tang Dao is determined to form a cavalry. I hope you can go to his place and show your talents! These are my decisions without asking for your opinion, Shaoxun, will you blame me?"

"Military seat! Don't compromise your duties. You said that soldiers should abide by military orders as their bounden duty. I am your soldier, so I will naturally abide by your military orders." Gong Shaoxun stood up quickly, stood at attention with his feet, and looked again A glance at Tang Dao with a smile. "Also, Commander Tang and I have fought side by side. Shaoxun has always admired his unconstrained and free-flowing tactical arrangements. Shaoxun is also very happy to be able to fight against Japanese pirates with him."

Gong Shaoxun is worthy of being the first soldier who has ever followed the Northeast Army. His answers not only maintained respect for the previous commander, but also complimented the current commander. His emotional intelligence was adequate.

"Haha! Okay!" Comrade Wu, who was already drunk, laughed and took the initiative to pick up the wine. "Then I'll toast you with this glass of wine."

The two soldiers drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp. Comrade Wu, who was even more drunk, was already a bit tongue-tied: "You are about to be transferred to the Fourth Army Regiment, just like my daughter married off by the 67th Army. How can this mother-in-law do it without a dowry?" ? Shaoxun, what do you want? While I'm still awake, you can quickly make your request. If I get drunk from Tang Dao later, there won't be that store after this village. ”

Saying this made Gong Shaoxun a little embarrassed. The superior had already said so. If he wanted to do less, he would be looking down on the superior. If he wanted to do more, the superior should not scold him after he sobered up. Looking up at Tang Dao, that means that you still have to come, Captain Tang!

Anyway, this is Tang Dao's specialty. Didn't he speak like a lion that time? As a result, I am still alive and moist at this moment.

To put it bluntly, once a person wants to lose face, his life will not be so nourishing. Tang Dao has explained this truth with facts.

But the truth is very simple, but not everyone can do it. This is also a major characteristic of Tang Dao.

"Ahem!" Tang Dao put down the chopsticks in his hand and cleared his throat.

The colonel's adjutant was heartbroken! A bad premonition came to mind. Captain Tang Da would not plan to ransack the entire village, right?

The one who understands men really has to be a man.

"Sir, a great man once said this: Time waits for me, I seize the day!" Tang Dao came up and hung a book bag.

"Don't talk about your book bag with me, just say it directly, since I promised Shaoxun, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do it." Comrade Wu, who was already drunk, could hardly speak clearly.

"What I mean is that Deputy Commander Gong can only command 20 cavalry in our regiment. How can he show his ability? When there are 200 cavalry, it will have to wait for a year, right? Sir, since your own daughter is married Well, why don’t you still care about the dowry?”

"Why not?"

"Transfer all the brothers currently under Deputy Commander Gong. It will be convenient for him to command the battle, and he can also form immediate combat effectiveness. When the time comes, I will give you hundreds of Japanese cavalry heads to play as balls."

"puff!"

A colonel's adjutant who couldn't help but sprayed his colleague's face with wine finally knew that this good guy was a Hongmen Banquet! An honest robbery.

Do you know how much it costs to train a cavalryman? Thought it was Chinese cabbage? How many cavalry does the 67th Army have in total?

Not to mention him, even the other chief officers of the Four Elements Regiment were astonished when they looked at their leader.

Damn it, not only did you deceive a cavalry battalion commander, but you also had to pack up the entire cavalry battalion and take it away together?

Will he get beaten?

Anyway, if they were in Commander Wu's position, they would have killed this shameless Tang Dao.

Commander Wu also didn't speak for a long time, his drunken eyes staring straight at Tang Dao.

"Haha! How brave!" Commander Wu laughed angrily.

Fortunately! Tantai Mingyue glanced at the commander who didn't even have a holster, and felt extremely lucky.

At least, he wouldn't have shot Tang with a hippopotamus mouth out of anger.
