Rise From Eight Hundred

14th Division Headquarters.

"Order the front to intensify the attack on the enemy in front of them, and send more scouts to conduct roundabout reconnaissance, and make sure to find out the whereabouts of the Four-Line Regiment. Zhenzang-kun, you also know that the division headquarters has promised the commander that in addition to conquering the two major Chinese cities of Kaifeng and Zhengzhou, the goal of this battle is to completely annihilate the small unit of the Four-Line Regiment. The commander has said that although this Chinese unit is currently small in size, judging from its past achievements and their status in the minds of the Chinese, it will sooner or later become a thorn in the side of the empire, and we must kill it as soon as possible.

This time, the division did not hesitate to give up the siege of the Chinese First Army and specially pulled out your 2nd Infantry Regiment to hunt down the Four-Line Regiment. This is both my trust in you and the commander's expectation of you. You have no reason to fail.

Do you understand?"

A Japanese soldier with the rank of lieutenant general on his shoulder straps had no expression on his face, and said coldly to an army general who stood respectfully in front of him.

"Hi! I will continue to strengthen the search for the whereabouts of the Four-line Regiment!" Army General Zuo bowed his head heavily.

Sweat on his forehead quietly slid down.

Although his immediate superior in front of him did not have too many harsh words, this Army General Zuo knew the temperament of his own division commander very well.

Kenji Doi looked kind and kind, like a good man, but only those who knew this guy who came from a military family and had been engaged in espionage for 30 years knew how vicious Kenji Doi was.

The brighter he smiled, the more people he killed.

Since the 14th Division's battle, due to the resistance of the Chinese, the number of massacres issued by the lieutenant general division commander in front of him has reached 13.

Because three soldiers who entered a Chinese village to collect food committed inappropriate acts against Chinese women, the local villagers surrounded and killed these three people in anger. This lightly ordered to massacre the village!

A large village with thousands of people was burned to a white land overnight, from the octogenarians to the babies under one month old, no one was left alive.

That kind of indifference and contempt for life made even his colleagues who were equally ruthless in killing people feel tingling.

"The Four-Line Regiment disappeared from our reconnaissance field of vision, but it just chose to hide during the day and move at night, and then changed its marching route." Doiyuan Kenji looked at his respectful subordinates, cast his eyes on the map, squinted his watery eyes and analyzed calmly. "The Chinese played a little trick, seemingly choosing the road that arrived in Shanxi Province recently, but in fact it was just a cover. They must have changed their route near the front line in Xinxiang.

The north of Xinxiang is our army's area. Unless the Chinese are crazy, they dare to rush over fearlessly. There are only two directions.

One is to go straight away from Xinxiang to the south, detour from Jiaozuo to Jincheng, and then enter the mountainous area;

The second! It is to turn around and return to Zhengzhou, and then choose a route based on the direction of our army's attack;

Jingzang-kun, what do you think he will make?"

Japanese Army Dazuo After pondering for a moment, he answered with difficulty: "Sir, I think the first possibility is the most likely. I may even think that the infantry regiment is going the other way and continuing to move forward along the nearest road as everyone imagines. Not engaging in tactical deception may be the most successful tactical deception."

"Jingzang-kun, you have your reasons for thinking so. If it were an ordinary Chinese commander, both the first option and the possibility you mentioned would exist." Kenji Doi seemed to have guessed his subordinate's answer and smiled faintly. "But you still don't know enough about the opponent you are about to face, and this is what you need to strengthen."

"Hi! Please give me some guidance, Sir!" Army Dazuo bowed his head respectfully.

"Six days ago, after receiving the command from the commander to kill the Four-Line Regiment, I studied all the information about the young commander of the Four-Line Regiment. Jinzang-kun, I don't know if you believe in my judgment after working in the Imperial Intelligence Department for thirty years, but I have great confidence in my ability." Kenji Doi's face was more solemn than ever. "General Terauchi Juichi's evaluation of the young Chinese soldier is that he will be a threat to the empire sooner or later, but I think that if he is given more time, he will not only be a threat, but he may even become the enemy of the empire. I don't know how many imperial warriors will die under his hands."

At this moment, the Japanese Army's Osamu could only respond to his own division commander's evaluation of the Chinese soldier named Tang Dao with astonishment.

Because, just as Kenji Doi was confident in his own judgment, Ishiguro Sadazō was equally confident in his immediate superior.

In 1913, he came to Yanjing as a member of the General Staff Headquarters and an army captain. He served as an assistant to the Japanese spy chief Sakai Sakai in the "Sakai Mansion" (i.e. the secret service agency). Kenji Doi, who began his spy career in China for more than 30 years, participated in almost all conspiracies to split China.

In 1924, during the Second Zhi-Feng War, Feng Yuxiang launched a coup in Yanjing, and Wu Peifu fled to Jiangxia in a panic. Doihara immediately manipulated and planned behind the scenes, using the means of stopping bank exchange to turn Wu Peifu's banknotes into waste paper, accelerating the downfall of the Zhili warlords.

In June 1928, he personally participated in the planning of the "Huanggutun Incident", in which the Northeast King was killed in a bombing. The ironclad Northeast lost their most powerful ruler, and the Kwantung Army had an opportunity to take advantage of it.

In 1930, Doihara accepted the order of the Kwantung Army and set up a secret agency in North China to disintegrate the power of the Northeast Army

If there is anyone in the world who knows the Chinese better, there are few people in Japan who can compare with Kenji Doi.

However, his evaluation of Tang Dao is too high.

If Tang Dao is a commander of a front army with more than 100,000 troops, it may be normal, but he is only the commander of a small infantry regiment with more than 2,000 people at this time. What virtue and ability does he have?

"You can be surprised, but you must believe it." Kenji Doi looked cold. "He was able to escape from the siege of the heavy troops of the empire in the Battle of Sihang Warehouse. It can be said that he was brave and had terrain to use, but how to explain the Battle of Songjiang? Yanagawa Heisuke is also a veteran general of the empire, but a 100,000-man army attacked 30,000, which still delayed the Chinese for four days and nights, making the empire's strategic intention to encircle and annihilate its main force completely fail.

That's not all. Thousands of imperial soldiers died in the attack, and even the reckless man Tani Hisao died on the battlefield, and he was shot dead by a gunman lurking in front of the command center.

If the former At first, I couldn't be sure that all this was related to Tang Dao, but after looking at his later battle record, I almost dared to conclude that the failure of the Songjiang Battle and the death of the reckless man Gu Shoufu were inseparable from Tang Dao.

Whether it was the subsequent night attack of the 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade or the Laojinkeng ambush in the Guangde Mountain area that caused the Kunisaki Detachment to lose soldiers and generals, Tang Dao had already used his strange and changeable tactical characteristics to the extreme. Even if I didn't know him, I would probably suffer a defeat like Ushijima Sadao, Ushijima Mitsuru, Kunisaki Shige and others.

This boy is much more cunning than the intelligence shows that he is only 20 years old. Perhaps this is the legendary military talent!

Tactical deception is commonplace for this boy. Going against the grain is not enough to describe the variety of his tactics. If you only consider one change, you will most likely be fooled by him.

Therefore, I have reason to believe that he has already predicted our prediction. Even when he marched to Xinxiang, a place that was originally impossible to appear, a few days ago, he had already made a countermeasure. Now he should be turning back. On the way back to Zhengzhou.

When our 14th Division completely conquers Xinxiang, the big city of Zhengzhou is right in front of us. When the whole army can't wait to attack Kaifeng and Zhengzhou, he will take the opportunity to move towards Jincheng. By then, our army will be unable to divide its troops to pursue because of the temptation of the two big cities, and he can escape. "

"Your Excellency the Division Commander is wise and can see through this man's trick, otherwise the search scouts sent south by me will only be in vain. "Land Army Da Zuo was shocked and flattered his boss.

"Tang Dao has many tricks, which is more than many generals I have seen. Looking at his enemies, many opponents were defeated by his changeable tactics. However, changeable tactics is also a double-edged sword. Especially after victory after victory, surprise attack has become a personal habit deeply rooted in his bones. This habit, when known by his enemies, may become a fatal flaw at any time.

Zhenzang, there is an old Chinese saying that is very good, 'there is no constant situation for soldiers, and there is no constant shape for water'. If you want to be an excellent commander, don't let your combat characteristics become a normal state, so as not to be grasped by your opponents! Remember!" Doihara Kenji was very comfortable with the flattery of his subordinates, and continued with a little pride on his face.

"Hi! Your Excellency the division commander, I have learned from you!" Japanese Army Daizuo nodded heavily.

"However, the reason why I said that if Tang Dao is not killed, he will sooner or later become a great enemy of the empire is not because of his cunning and brilliant achievements." Doihara Kenji's eyes turned solemn. "After analyzing his intelligence, I suddenly found that this guy's rise was like a meteor, almost without any signs. In just one battle, he was promoted from an army sergeant to a second lieutenant, then a lieutenant, and finally promoted to an army colonel because of the Chinese propaganda needs. It took ordinary people ten or even more than ten years. Apart from luck, I can't find any other reason to explain it."

"If it's just luck, this person is nothing..." A trace of contempt flashed in the army's left eye.

The Japanese are most practical, and they have never paid much attention to something as illusory as luck.

"You are wrong. The luck that the Chinese often talk about may sound mysterious, but it actually exists. Throughout the thousands of years of Chinese history, almost all successful people have luck.

If Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty had no luck, how could he, a commoner, become an emperor with a territory of tens of millions of square kilometers? If the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty had not had enough luck, how could he have gone from being a small beggar to the one who destroyed the Mongol Empire? There are countless examples of this.

If you still don't believe it, then after Tang Dao was promoted to Army Colonel, it was originally just an empty title, with only a hundred soldiers under his command, but when he arrived in Songjiang, he quickly gained With the trust of the then-highest commander of Songjiang, his 100 soldiers expanded to 1,000 in an instant. From having no foundation at all, he gained the support of the military generals and eventually formed an elite infantry regiment.

The intelligence also showed that he maintained a good relationship with several Chinese generals, and these people would inevitably become his helpers in the future. Is this all a kind of fortune?

If he is given enough time to gradually form alliances, he will be the center and unite a force that even the empire cannot ignore. Combined with his original ability, do you think he will become a great enemy of the empire? "Doiyuan Kenji shook his head and explained.

"Such a great enemy of the empire must be eliminated first and quickly! He must not be allowed to escape." Army Dazuo took a breath.

"Haha! You don't have to be so nervous!" Seeing that his subordinates were finally touched by his reason, Kenji Doi-maru smiled and said. "The war between the Empire and China is like the rabbits and wolves on the grassland. The rabbits can escape the fate of being hunted and killed a few times by relying on their cunning ways, but in the end, they will still be found and eaten by the wolves. This kind of war between countries ultimately depends on strength!

Tang Dao is just one of those cunning rabbits. Now we have to find him and kill him, that's all."

"Hi!" Japanese Army Da Zuo Lizheng nodded.

After tidying up his uniform, Da Zuo, the captain of the 2nd Infantry Regiment of the 14th Division, turned around and left with confidence.

Kenji Doihara watched his subordinate leave with satisfaction. He left the intelligence department more than a year ago and became the commander of the front-line army. Half a year ago, he led the 14th Division into North China. Many generals in the army headquarters and even his subordinates had doubts about his command ability, but as the war progressed, he used his military exploits to fight back against everyone's doubts.

The reason why the commander of the left regiment of the 2nd Infantry Regiment who had just left was chosen by him to deal with the Four-Line Regiment was not because of how strong Ishiguro Sadanzo was, but because he was the first regiment commander-level officer to defect to him. After his careful guidance, if he could make great contributions, he could promote him to a major general brigade commander, and transfer the major general brigade commander of the 27th Infantry Brigade who often sang against him. The 14th Division will have only one voice.

The voice of Kenji Doihara, even though he has only been the division commander for half a year.

Kenji Doihara's ambition is far more than a mere lieutenant general division commander. His wish is to sit in the position of Army General. If there is a chance, it is not impossible for him to be an Imperial Marshal. Therefore, he has spared no effort to fuel the invasion of China in the past few decades. Otherwise, with his family background, it is difficult for him to rise to a high position in peacetime.

In the past time and space, Kenji Doihara had almost fulfilled his ultimate dream. After the Battle of Henan Province, he was transferred back to China because of his outstanding military exploits, returned to the intelligence agency, and established the largest intelligence agency against China in Songhu. Two years later, he was promoted to Army General.

However, his ambition ended there. As Japan launched the Pacific War, the originally hopeful war situation began to deteriorate. Kenji Doihara's dream of becoming an Imperial Marshal was completely shattered, and he became a Class A war criminal after the war.

That means he will be hanged.

In this time and space, there is suddenly a variable called Tang Dao, and Kenji Doihara's original destiny, who has interacted with this variable, will inevitably change.

As for how it will change, it's like what he taught his subordinates, luck is something that is indispensable in a person's life.

When he met Tang Dao, who was thrown into this time and space by God, he was destined to be the kind of person with bad luck.

After more than 30 years of intelligence work, he has already had enough understanding of Tang Dao, and he almost guessed the marching direction of the Four-Line Regiment.

That's right, after the Four-Line Regiment delivered the materials promised to General Song overnight, it used the cover of night to retreat instead of advancing. No torches were lit at night, and the whole army only used a few flashlights to lead the way. Even if it only moved 20 miles a night at a snail's pace, it resolutely retreated to the direction of Zhengzhou.

This is also the reason why the Japanese reconnaissance planes in the sky, motorcycles, cavalry, and reconnaissance pioneers on the ground could not find any traces of the Four-Line Regiment.

However, Kenji Doihara guessed the result correctly but misunderstood the process. Tang Dao did not retreat to the vicinity of Zhengzhou as he imagined, waiting for the two big cities to become bait to attract the main force of the Japanese army, and then leave.

Tang Dao knew about the Japanese army and knew that after they captured two big cities, if they suffered heavy casualties, they would vent their anger on ordinary people. So they had to fight the Japanese army no matter what.

But Tang Dao knew too well that after the Japanese army conquered Xinxiang, that was the end. It was not that they did not want to attack, but that Commander Cheng was desperate and blew up the Yellow River Bridge, the only iron bridge on the Yellow River 30 kilometers in front of Zhengzhou City.

Facing the surging Yellow River, the Japanese tanks and artillery could only sigh at the river. The Yellow River was not the Yangtze River. Their inland ships could gallop on the Yellow River to help them bombard the defenders on the shore. If they wanted to cross the Yellow River, the Japanese army had to fight for their lives. Before they found a good way to break through the Yellow River, the Battle of Xuzhou was over.

Hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops jumped out of the encirclement and retreated to central China. The one who had no scruples ordered the explosion of Huayuankou. The crazy Yellow River flooded everywhere, drowning countless people and dealing a heavy blow to the 14th Division still on the bank of the Yellow River.

It is said that Kenji Doihara almost drowned, which shows how turbulent the Yellow River is.

Tang Dao did not need to worry about the safety of Zhengzhou at this time, and the safety of the surrounding people could be temporarily guaranteed. The reason why Tang Dao retreated to the vicinity of Zhengzhou was purely because he suddenly remembered something.

Because of the bombing of the Yellow River Bridge, Chinese soldiers fought a fierce battle with the Japanese army who also knew the importance of the Yellow River Bridge and rushed to attack. Not only did they suffer heavy casualties, but many Xinxiang people who did not have time to retreat were stranded on the bank of the Yellow River and were slaughtered by the Japanese army.

This time, Tang Dao must not let the tragedy happen. Not only must he save those people, but he must also beat the Japanese vanguard here and leave with his head held high.

This is the first battle of the Four-Line Regiment when it arrives in northern China.

Let’s take the 14th Division as the starting point.

Kenji Doihara thought he knew enough about Tang Dao, but unfortunately, that was just his own opinion.

Tang Dao's personal habit was not to fight strange battles, but that no matter how the battle was fought, the dead devils were the good devils.

Poor Ishiguro Sadanzo Daizo was led astray by his boss who had been deeply involved in the intelligence agency for decades.

Of course, more importantly, his luck was really not good! ……

ps: Fengyue was completely out of shape yesterday. There was an outline, but the writing was like shit. I couldn't bear to look at it, so I wrote and deleted, deleted and wrote. I tossed around for a day but couldn't write a decent text. In anger, I simply stopped writing and went out to play football. I wrote it again today, and finally wrote a "fat and doggy" in my understanding. This guy is a shrewd enemy.
