Rise From Eight Hundred

The Sihang Group's base is about 80 to 90 kilometers away from Xuzhou City.

When they returned with full supplies, it took a full day and a half, unlike the cavalry platoon and baggage platoon that arrived in a few hours on horseback and carriages. It was not until the afternoon of the next day that they arrived at the base.

When he saw his little cotton-padded jacket again, the old Tan Tai, who was originally drowsy in the bedding of the big cart, was like a spirited young man, and "swooped" off the car.

But his image was not very good!

Looking at his old father with messy hair and unshaven beard, Tan Tai Mingyue was almost heartbroken.

As the saying goes, no one knows a daughter better than her father, but a daughter also knows her father.

Tan Tai Yunshu has been living a life of luxury since he was a child, and he is also an artist of the master level. Wherever he goes, he must be a refined "Bo Yi", unlike now, he looks like a tramp?

It was only in Xuzhou City that he took the time to wash his face and comb his hair, otherwise Tan Tai Mingyue might not recognize his father!

But Tan Tai Ming Yue obviously misunderstood the enthusiasm of her old father who rushed down from the cart and held her hand. In fact, it was not just a simple desire for his daughter.

But

You know, it is not so easy to get over the hurdle of having a certain rascal holding his hand and calling him "Dad".

There were many people who came out of the garrison to welcome Tang Dao and Old Tan Tai, almost all the captain-level officers of the Four-Line Regiment.

The cavalry platoon had already sent two cavalrymen to run back ahead of the main force to report the news. In the returning queue, there were not only a large amount of supplies, but also Tan Tai Ming Yue's old father.

Not only for the sake of distributing supplies, but also for the face of Tan Tai Ming Yue, a big reporter, the company commanders did not dare to neglect it, and they all dropped their work and went out to greet him.

But no one expected that old man Tan Tai would be so direct. He didn't even say hello to everyone, but took his daughter and hid aside to talk in private.

This old man is so rude!

"My dear! Have you and that brat Tang Dao already..." Pulling his daughter, Tan Tai Yun Shu lowered his voice, and the little tongue in his throat was trembling slightly.

"Already what?" Tan Tai Ming Yue was a little confused by her father's question.

No matter how smart she was, she was just an innocent girl, and she couldn't understand the real intention hidden in the LP's hesitation.

"That's right, human relations!" Tan Tai Yun Shu stamped his feet, biting his back teeth and almost growling.

"Ah?" Tan Tai Ming Yue blushed no matter how generous she was, but was asked by her father almost directly.

In her mind, Tang Dao's strong chest appeared. Because she took care of the unconscious Tang Dao, she had almost seen all of Tang Dao. Does this count?

Seeing his daughter blushing like clouds in the sky when he asked her this question, he almost gave old Tan Tai a heart attack.

"You, you, you are going to piss me off to death. If your mother knew, she would be pissed off to death too." Old Tan Tai's eyes were full of stars, and his tongue was shaking so much that he made a tremor.

Before getting married, she was already doing that. For the extremely traditional Tan Tai Yun Shu, this was absolutely unacceptable.

If someone handed him a gun at this time, he would definitely shoot Tang Dao, who jumped off the horse and was greeting Lei Xiong and others waiting for his father and daughter.

There is murderous intent!

Tang Dao felt a chill all over his back.

He looked around in confusion. They were all his own soldiers. Who wanted to kill him? This was unreasonable.

Ming Xin, who was standing behind him, couldn't help but frown. He also felt the extremely strong murderous intent, although it was not directed at him.

The muscles on his back tightened slightly. There were so many armed guards around, and someone actually had murderous intent. He must be a super master.

A certain 'super master' had eyes that were almost burning with anger, and he was about to roar and turn around to chase after a bastard who had harmed his daughter's innocence.

"Dad, what are you talking about! Although he and I love each other sincerely, he is busy with military affairs, and I am responsible for taking care of the wounded. We have not met alone for more than a month. That time..." Tan Tai Mingyue retorted to the old father in shame and anger.

The killing intention disappeared.

Mingxin was a little confused.

He was about to lock the source of the killing intention, but it disappeared just like that. The strength of this great master was beyond his imagination.

The Four Lines Group is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers!

"My dear, you can't lie to your father!" Tan Tai Yunshu's face eased a lot.

"If you still don't believe it, I will accompany you home and never marry for the rest of my life. Can I stay with you and Am?" Tan Tai Mingyue answered angrily.

"That's what I misunderstood. It's good if it's not there, it's good if it's not there!" Tan Tai Yunshu smiled.

The stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. He knew that his daughter might be a little stubborn, but she would never lie to him about such a big thing.

In a good mood, Tan Tai Yunshu came over and greeted the officers of the Four Lines Regiment who came to greet him one by one. He was also very satisfied with the high-level reception given to him by the Four Lines Regiment.

China has always attached great importance to etiquette. Last time, Tan Tai Yunshu came in a hurry and was stopped by the guards for a long time. This time, he was greeted by the well-known officers of the Four Lines Regiment. It further reflected his daughter's status in the heroic regiment of the Four Lines Regiment. Old Tan Tai was radiant.

For the officers and soldiers of the Four Lines Regiment, they were even more excited. They had already felt full of happiness when they saw the regiment commander bring back so many supplies, including rice, noodles and bacon. Unexpectedly, Tang Dao brought everyone even greater joy.

"Pass the order down. Our regiment has enough funds. Tonight, the Quartermaster Department of the General Staff will verify the amount of pensions and rewards based on the list of military merits and the names of wounded and deceased officers and soldiers. Tomorrow morning, they will be paid out together with last month's military pay." Tang Dao issued this order as soon as he returned to the regiment headquarters.

All battalions and companies received the message, and the whole camp was instantly filled with cheers.

Although these soldiers who had fought with Tang Dao in several bloody battles had never doubted Tang Dao's credit, the concept of money being kept in the regiment and in their own pockets was completely different. The latter not only made people feel more at ease, but more importantly, they could take the money home at the right time.

After all, their relatives at home were still waiting for rice to be cooked, and they were also waiting for news from them. Whether they were dead or alive, they had to be informed.

"In addition, notify all battalions and companies that there will be an extra meal tonight, one bowl of rice plus two steamed buns per person, and another bowl of meat. After tonight, we will go to collect equipment tomorrow, and the whole regiment will prepare for a long march." Tang Dao issued the second military order.

There was laughter and joy again at the temporary station of the Sihang Regiment.

Although the whole regiment was about to set off, with the goal of the north, it meant marching 70 miles a day for at least a month, and there would never be a comfortable day like this where they could train for several days in a row, but executing military orders was the duty of a soldier, and no one was afraid of that.

On the battlefield, eating a few bites of roasted potatoes is not the same as fighting the devil for a day?

Compared to that, rice, steamed buns and meat are simply heaven.

The officers and soldiers enjoyed the rare last leisure time, but the officers headed by Tang Dao could not rest.

The Quartermaster Department had to calculate the various bonuses and pensions of more than 2,000 people in the regiment according to Tang Dao's requirements. Although there were data before, in order to be more accurate and not to let the officers and soldiers have opinions, there were also collective rewards for each company, platoon and squad before the reorganization. These data must not be wrong.

The six people in the Quartermaster Department under the General Staff, from captain to sergeant, were all busy. For this reason, Zhuang Shisan also specially selected officers with some arithmetic skills in the whole regiment to help, and even Lao Suanpan, who had been promoted to deputy platoon leader, was selected.

All night, the two small rooms of the Quartermaster Department were brightly lit, and people kept going in and out to check the statistics with each other.

In addition to the busy military supply department, other departments are also busy. They will go to collect equipment tomorrow, and the first to bear the brunt is the baggage company.

Now the baggage company is the well-deserved first company of the Four-Line Regiment.

Tang Dao purchased 300 pack horses, 100 carts and 100 hired horsemen from Xuzhou. Except for 100 pack horses and 20 carts allocated to two artillery companies, the rest were given to the baggage company.

In addition to these, Tang Dao also brought 500 new soldiers.

The 500 refugees who were still struggling under the walls of Xuzhou a few days ago only filled their stomachs and recovered some strength in the past two days, otherwise they would not be able to walk the 90-kilometer long road from Xuzhou City to the garrison.

Even so, as soon as they arrived at the garrison, 480 of the 500 new soldiers lay down. It was already good that their extremely weak bodies, which had been malnourished due to hunger for a long time, could insist on walking 90 kilometers in a day and a half.

But this means that this batch of recruits cannot be put to use quickly, and the baggage company must assign experienced veterans to lead them to ensure that they can keep up with the main force and not fall behind.

Zhu Heicheng, the captain of the baggage company, was furious at the time and ran directly to the regiment headquarters to complain to Tang Dao.

"The 500 recruits all belong to your baggage company. They are specially prepared for this equipment transportation. If they are not physically fit, then give them more nutrition. In addition to the prescribed meals, each person will be given half a tael of sugar and two taels of bacon every day to ensure that they are all strong and healthy guys in half a month." After listening to the complaints of the baggage company commander, Tang Dao did not blame him too much and gave him support without hesitation.

"In addition, divide them into three recruit companies. The company commander, platoon leader and squad leader of each recruit company will be appointed by the platoon leader, squad leader and veteran soldiers sent by the guard company. They will be responsible for the formation and marching. If your baggage company needs to transport anything, you can notify the recruit company for help. After they gradually adapt to the military life, they will all be handed over to your baggage company. Is this okay?"

Tang Dao's meaning is very clear. They are soldiers of your baggage company, but you don't need to allocate personnel from your baggage company to manage them. If there is work, they can help your baggage company. If you still complain, it would be shameless.

This is because the baggage company is about to receive the equipment transportation task. The equipment of a reorganized regiment, even if Tang Dao purchased pack horses and carts to increase the transportation capacity by dozens of tons, is beyond the current limit of the baggage company. Tang Dao knows their difficulties.

In normal times, with Tang Dao's temper, this lieutenant who has just been promoted to acting baggage company commander will have a good meal.

What kind of group are soldiers? If there are conditions, they will go. If there are no conditions, they will create conditions and go. Why do they cry and shout for support from their superiors when they haven't done anything yet?

Zhu Heicheng received the support of Tang Dao and finally returned to the base.

He didn't know that the next time would be one of the most glorious moments in his life.

The Northeast Army has eight reorganized divisions of equipment in the secret munitions warehouse outside Xuzhou City. It takes several trains of train skins.

But the Four-line Regiment's baggage company has to rely on hundreds of pack horses and more than a hundred carts to transport the equipment of a reorganized regiment, not including the replacement of the entire Four-line Regiment.

Those old weapons that have been replaced, the commander Tang will not just throw them away, he will take them there to show his favor!

Even though the rifling of some of the old Hanyang rifles held by the Sichuan Army were worn out, many of the non-main force troops that had already entered the mountains to fight guerrilla warfare against the Japanese still had four people to one rifle, and each rifle was equipped with a dozen bullets to fight the Japanese!

Not to mention that packhorses and carts have been developed to the limit of their transport capacity, even he, the baggage company commander, has been carrying two rifles and a standard box gun for company commanders for a long time, and also carrying bedding for marching, with a single soldier carrying more than 30 kilograms.

The subordinates were busy, and Tang Dao and Lei Xiong and others were certainly not idle.

Tang Dao convened a military meeting of the chief officers of the regiment, the three major infantry battalion commanders and the chief officers of several major direct companies to formulate the marching route of the entire regiment.

Although the war has not yet started, the march must not be taken lightly, especially the Fourth Line Regiment not only has students but also a large number of military equipment. If they are discovered by the Japanese air reconnaissance and a large number of fighter planes are bombed, the current air defense force of the Fifth War Zone will not be of any help to them.

All the equipment of Cheng Tieshou's Artillery 2 Company has not yet arrived, but the Heavy Machine Gun Fourth Line Regiment is not lacking, especially since the equipment will be replenished from the secret munitions warehouse. Tang Dao decided that the Artillery 2 Company will temporarily serve as the air defense company.

The 2nd Cannon Company will be equipped with 2 machine guns and 12 heavy machine guns. If there are machine guns in the supplementary munitions, they will all be equipped with the 2nd Cannon Company. The rest, such as 37mm anti-tank guns, which are used to attack armor and fixed fortifications, will be temporarily sealed and transported by the baggage company.

Tang Dao took the initiative to confess the things he caused in Xuzhou City, and Lei Xiong, who had been in the old army for a long time, immediately became alert.

He knew the psychology of those officers who belonged to the direct line. Although the Four-Line Regiment was given the battlefield where it had fought as a title, it represented the name of elite in the army, but in the eyes of the principal's students, it was still a ragtag army.

They were much more courageous than they thought to deal with the ragtag army that dared to challenge them.

At Lei Xiong's suggestion, the newly established cavalry company was given the function of reconnaissance and would advance 6 kilometers ahead of the main force of the entire Four-Line Regiment. Tang Dao was more decisive than Lei Xiong. He not only gave them the northward marching order with the seal of the 43rd Army Headquarters, but also gave them the order to be the first to shoot to resist the enemy.

If you are questioned by other troops at the checkpoint, just show them the military order. If you need a war zone pass, the regiment will send someone to negotiate.

If you encounter the 20th Corps, you must be vigilant. Except for the negotiators, the rest of the personnel should stay at least 100 meters away. If the other party has any ill intentions, you can take the lead in launching a counterattack.

Tang Dao never wastes the precious lives of soldiers, no matter who the opponent is.

After leaving the Xuzhou war zone and entering Henan Province, you must not relax your vigilance. The Japanese army has already launched an attack on Henan Province, and the battle situation changes rapidly. The Four-Line Regiment was not so well-informed during the march, and no one knew what area the Japanese army had attacked.

The Four-Line Regiment was a completely combat-type marching formation.

The cavalry company is the spearhead, the 1st and 2nd infantry battalions are the vanguards, and they are at the forefront of the entire marching column. The 1st artillery company is protected by the 3rd infantry battalion, and the special service company and the regiment headquarters are in the middle. The special operations squadron personnel have not yet formed sufficient combat effectiveness, so they will not be on duty for the time being and will advance with the regiment headquarters. The guard company will be the rear guard of the entire army. If there is a battle, the entire army will immediately engage in battle.

"This long-distance march is the first since the formation of our regiment, and the situation is complicated. There are armies that are hostile to our regiment, and there are also invading Japanese invaders. The chief officers of each battalion, company and unit must remind their officers and soldiers to remain vigilant and keep their guns and bullets with them." Tang Dao glanced at his officers, stood up and set the tone for the march.

"If major casualties occur due to negligence, then everyone here will be the first person responsible. The military law of the military court is not a decoration. Everyone, do you understand!"

"Understood! Please rest assured, sir!" All officers stood up and expressed their opinions.

"Dismissed!" Tang Dao looked at his watch and saw that it was already night, so he waved his hand to end the two-hour military meeting.

The officers left quickly.

If nothing unexpected happened, they would set off tomorrow. They all had to go back to their respective battalions to hold meetings and inform the regiment headquarters of the resolution. They had no time to dawdle here. Not to mention that Tang Dao didn't invite them to dinner, even if he did, they couldn't stay longer.

Erya ran in quickly and whispered in Tang Dao's ear.

Tang Dao's face turned bitter, and he quickly called Zhuang Shisan who was about to leave, "Old Zhuang, you don't have to go to the meeting, let's have dinner together!"

Zhuang Shisan was about to agree, but suddenly glanced outside the door and saw a certain master who was tall and well-dressed and strode in from the courtyard gate. He smiled and refused: "You can eat by yourself! There are also dozens of people in the four departments of my General Staff, and there are many old soldiers. I dare not neglect it. Besides, I have to see how the rewards and pensions are calculated at the Quartermaster Department."

After saying that, he almost ran away without waiting for Tang Dao to speak.

Fuck! No brotherhood! Tang Dao looked at the speed at which this guy ran away, and of course he knew why he was running.

A certain old man is here!

Looking at the posture of the dragon and the tiger, it is definitely not as simple as coming to talk about life and ideals with the future son-in-law.

It is possible to praise Tang Dao, but that is Tang Dao's. If he wants to scold him, then he, the chief of staff, will have to stay here with Tang Dao. Only a fool would stay here. Chief of Staff Zhuang is a smart guy in this regard.

Tang Dao certainly doesn't know why this person came here at this time! But Erya, who has a certain level of observation, can tell him that the old Tan Tai seems to be in a bad mood.

Tang Dao, who feels a little guilty, wants to keep people here. No matter how unhappy the old man is, he will not scold him in front of his subordinates.

Tan Tai Yunshu, who is extremely traditional in his bones, is very face-conscious. Tang Dao can still grasp this pulse.

However, no matter how fast Tang Dao’s brain worked, he had no idea how he had offended the old man. From the cold snorts of the old man outside the yard as he greeted the officers who were in a hurry to leave, it was clear that the handsome middle-aged man was not in a very good mood.
