Rise From Eight Hundred

Although the entire convoy and horse team meandered for 1,500 meters in the mountains!

But the marching speed can still be basically guaranteed.

The main thing is that there is no need to worry too much about safety.

This mountainous area is under the control of the 683rd Brigade and the Four-Line Regiment. The Japanese army has just recovered from the blow and has not yet sent troops to the completely empty Licheng. There is no need to consider arranging soldiers to guard during the march.

And those thieves who hibernate in the mountains for their livelihoods, looking at such a large convoy and hundreds of fully armed troops even dragging several artillery pieces, let alone wanting to share a piece of the pie, they would be scared to death if they passed under their noses.

Because of the marching speed, the baggage company was not fully loaded. A large cart was loaded with about 700 kilograms of supplies, and the packhorse carried 100 kilograms of food. When encountering uphill sections, there were soldiers to help push.

Even so, this mountain road with a total length of 50 miles took more than 6 hours in total.

It was already 5:50 pm when Tang Dao led his troops to the place five miles away from the regiment headquarters in Dakouzidong.

Today's weather was good. The sky was clear and the wind was light during the day. In the evening, the sunset glow was like fire, and the whole mountain seemed to be covered with a thin red veil.

Tang Dao was in a good mood, but not because of the weather.

But since entering the Dakouzidong area, except for the soldiers stationed at the checkpoints on the surface who went out of the fortifications to salute the large troops transporting supplies after the inspection, the rest of the road was quiet.

But as long as you use a telescope to search carefully, you will still find some clues hidden in the calm, some in the bushes, some in the gravel pile, flashing a little metallic luster.

That's the muzzle!

There are at least 10 secret sentries in the 15-mile mountain road from the mountain pass to the regiment headquarters. That was what Tang Dao asked to deploy before leaving, and now they have basically been implemented.

The sentries followed military rules very well. They did not show up to salute him because of the appearance of the regiment commander. At most, they did not lower the muzzle of their guns to the road to show respect for their superiors and comrades.

This made Tang Dao very satisfied. Although they won again, the officers and soldiers of the Four-line Regiment were not proud. Everything was still prepared as in wartime.

The news of Tang Dao's departure had been reported to the regiment headquarters through the radio. After entering the Dakouzidong area, there were sentries that lit fireworks to report to the rear that the commander had returned.

The current Four-line Regiment is not so luxurious as to equip the sentries with field radios or telephones. The primitive beacon communication is fast in the mountains.

There are always three piles of wet wood poured with some oil on the peak above each sentry post. The rumbling smoke column rising more than 20 meters high can be seen 15 miles away in good weather.

When the enemy attacks, usually three piles are lit at the same time, which is the highest alert. One pile is lit to indicate that one's own people have returned, and two piles are for friendly visits.

Therefore, when Tang Dao led the troops to come, Lei Xiong, Gong Shaoxun, Zhuang Shisan and others in the regiment had already greeted them for several miles.

Not only them, but all the troops of the Four-line Regiment who were not on guard were alarmed by the trumpet of the emergency assembly and lined up to greet them.

Of course, these soldiers were not only welcoming their highest commander, but also their last group of brothers who returned victoriously, as well as the rich supplies seized.

All of this deserved the highest courtesy of these soldiers to welcome them back.

His eyes slid across the familiar faces of the leader Lei Xiong, Tan Tai Yunshu, Xiao He and others, and Tang Dao smiled and strode over.

"Salute!" Lei Xiong gathered all his strength and roared.

All the members of the Four-line Regiment present, including the sentinels on duty on the mountain and the foot of the mountain, raised their right arms and saluted Tang Dao in a standard military salute.

"Thank you for your hard work, brothers!" Tang Dao stood still, returned the military salute seriously, and said to the people in front of him.

"We are not tired, the commander is tired, the brothers are tired." Lei Xiong and the soldiers shouted in unison without lowering their salute hands.

"Return the salute!" Peng Chong, the captain of the rear guard company, also shouted back.

"Shua!" The soldiers of the guard company and the rear of the car, which was nearly a thousand meters long, returned the salute.

In this red sunset, more than 2,000 officers and soldiers from the same infantry regiment saluted each other and looked at each other silently.

Then, bright smiles appeared on their faces.

Because, at this point, the battle of the Four-Line Regiment has come to a perfect end.

The convoys lined up like a long snake, piled with food bags, and the faces of the soldiers who had been washed clean by the gunpowder, gradually began to bloom like flowers, which is the best interpretation of this battle!

"Tonight, our regiment will also hold a celebration banquet!" Tang Dao turned his eyes around and announced loudly. "Now, everyone, help me move the supplies!"

"Long live the regiment commander!"

"Long live the commander!"

The soldiers put down their arms and cheered loudly.

Based on their understanding of their own regiment commander, they knew that the celebration banquet would not be as simple as drinking and eating meat, and they would have to announce the distribution of rewards.

And this battle in eastern Shanxi had captured a lot of spoils, and I wonder how much reward Tang Tuanzuo can give to everyone.

While the soldiers were sweating and helping the baggage company unload the goods, they were calculating in their hearts, and some of them couldn't keep things in their hearts and couldn't help discussing.

This is the same feeling as farmers who have a good harvest and look at the golden rice fields to calculate how much grain they can harvest this year!

However, before the regiment headquarters officially issued a notice, it was all unknown.

The officers and soldiers were so happy that they had the energy to carry the bags of grain.

The handsome face of the old handsome man Tan Tai was full of smiles at this moment. Seeing his daughter returning from the battlefield unscathed, he was completely relieved.

But some people were not very happy.

"Tang Dao, do you have the final say in your Four Lines Regiment or does the Chief of Staff have the final say?" Teacher He gave a warning to the great commander Tang in such a happy atmosphere.

"Teacher He, could it be that Chief of Staff Zhuang did not bring back your machine tools and equipment?" Tang Dao was slightly stunned and looked at Zhuang Shisan.

Based on his understanding of Zhuang Shisan, this lieutenant colonel from the security regiment was the one who knew the most.

As everyone knows, there are two women in the Four Lines Regiment who cannot be messed with.

One is Tan Tai Mingyue. It has nothing to do with whether she is the fiancée of the commander Tang. Tan Tai Mingyue is first of all a reporter. With a pen in her hand, she can praise you to the sky or trample you in the mud. What's more, she is the captain of the medical team. Once injured, your life will be in her hands. Who dares to mess with her?

The other one is naturally Mr. Xiao He, the chief designer of the future Sihang Regiment Arsenal. It is one thing that Tang Tuanzuo treats him with courtesy, but whether everyone can use the triangular bayonet and the pistol designed by Tang Tuanzuo in the future depends on him.

The data written on the design drawing of the future pistol with a bullet velocity of 440 meters per second and an effective range of more than 100 meters using 7.62 mm bullets can make these officers drool.

They are all veterans, how can they not know the excellence of a pistol with an effective range of 100 meters?

Compare it with the standard pistol equipped by the Japanese army, which is also the most equipped Nanbu 14-type pistol by the Sihang Regiment. The bullet velocity is 317 meters per second and the effective range is only 50 meters, which is simply a crushing level.

Don't underestimate the pistol. This lightest weapon cannot determine the victory on the battlefield, but it is the last defense of the officers. The effective range of up to 100 meters can fully allow them to compete with the infantry. The terrible bullet velocity will bring greater lethality. Perhaps as long as one shot is hit, the opponent will lose the ability to resist.

From second lieutenants to lieutenant colonels, who doesn't look forward to the research and development team headed by Teacher Xiao He to quickly produce this gun? This time, so many machine tools and equipment were seized in Lucheng, which gave everyone hope.

Even if Zhuang Shisan is one of the top figures in the Four-Line Regiment, he will not offend this person easily!

"Ask him yourself!" Teacher Xiao He was angry.

"Commander, it's like this," Zhuang Shisan explained with a wry smile on his face.

It turned out that this time the Four-Line Regiment not only had more than 100,000 catties of grain transported back, but also more than 200,000 catties in Licheng, plus more than 100,000 catties of grain that had not been transported back from the 683rd Brigade. Not counting the corn, soybeans and other concentrated feeds for feeding war horses and pack horses, there were nearly 500,000 catties of food for people to eat, which is nearly 250 tons in the future.

Such a large granary is hard to find in this mountainous area. If it is not well protected in the wild and eaten by field mice or something, it will be heartbreaking.

So, Chief of Staff Zhuang Da set his sights on the large cave that Tang Dao had allocated for the core area of ​​the arsenal.

The cave is 25 meters high, 18 meters wide and 80 meters deep. With this area, it can hold not only 500,000 or 600,000 kilograms of grain, but also several times more. What's more, this cave is not a karst cave. It is located on a mountain wall. It is warm in winter and cool in summer and dry. It is the best choice for a granary.

Therefore, Chief of Staff Zhuang has worn out his lips. The time he has been pestering Teacher Xiao He these days can be misunderstood, if this person is not already married.

Teacher Xiao He finally agreed reluctantly for the sake of grain, but there is always resentment and dissatisfaction.

Her reason is not wrong. Those precision machine tools are most afraid of dust, and grain is a dusty thing. What's more troublesome is that this is the core area of ​​the arsenal and belongs to a confidential area. For this reason, Tang Dao has already assigned a special guard platoon to the arsenal, and it will even be upgraded to a guard company level in the future.

The result is good. Once the granary is built, the baggage soldiers come and go, and there are many people and eyes. What secrets are there?

Although they are all members of the regiment, this baggage company will soon be mainly composed of new recruits. It is hard to guarantee that some people will not be treacherous. How can Teacher He not be depressed!

Seeing Tang Dao coming back, he couldn't help it after all.

Tang Dao was also a little overwhelmed when he heard this.

Food is the foundation of the existing Four-Line Regiment. Without this batch of food, the Four-Line Regiment can't even think about gaining a foothold here; but the arsenal is the future of the Four-Line Regiment. Without the arsenal to continuously manufacture weapons, the Four-Line Regiment wants to rely on the few weapons in its hands to fight the Japanese army. At most, it is the combat power of one and a half Japanese infantry regiments. If it encounters a Japanese infantry brigade, it will be blind.

"Well, Teacher Xiao He, don't worry. Give me some time. In half a month at most, I will move this batch of food away and make room for the arsenal. Although your arsenal has equipment and materials, don't you still have enough DC generators? It just so happens that there is no need to fight during this period. Don't rush to make any guns and bullets. Just take this batch of materials and make a batch of triangular military bayonets for me first, and equip the first battalion first." Tang Dao thought for a while and gave Teacher Xiao He a reassurance.

"What, you have the materials now?" Teacher Xiao He instantly shifted his attention. "Don't fool me. The triangular military bayonet you requested is too long, and the steel material requirements are extremely high. Otherwise, it is very likely to be counterproductive and break at once. There is no way that there will be defective products produced by my Hongyadong Arsenal."

"Hongyadong?" Tang Dao was stunned. This thing is on the bank of the Jialing River!

"It's a tooth, not a cliff!" Teacher Xiao He rolled his eyes, and was very anxious about Tang Tuanzuo's ability to understand.

It turned out that this tooth is not that cliff, and there is still a lot of reason. The reason why it is called 'red' is that it is the dusk before the expedition, or the sunset like today, when the sun shines on the cliffs on both sides of the cave, like a red battle flag.

Standing at the bottom of the cave, watching the soldiers marching forward in a row but not daring to see them off in person, Teacher Xiao He had a hope in his heart, hoping that this expedition would be victorious as in the past, and this natural red battle flag was specially sent down by God.

And what about the 'tooth'?

Standing in the distance, the cave entrance is like the open mouth of a giant beast, and the rocks standing at the entrance are the sharp teeth in the giant beast's mouth, which are extremely aggressive.

At the same time, teeth are also the hardest bones in the human body.

Therefore, red represents victory, and teeth imply that they will become a weapon for the Chinese to fight back against invaders.

This will become the spirit of all personnel in the arsenal.

You know what, Teacher Xiao He's name is quite weird, Tang Dao almost thought she was also a time traveler.

In the future special forces novels, any protagonist is either Longya or Langya, which really makes Tang Dao, the king of single soldiers without any name, feel ashamed!

But Tang Dao still gave Teacher Xiao He a thumbs up: "High-level intellectuals are different. They can talk so much about naming. I can't help but admit it."

"Then what do you mean? Do you think we can write poems and songs in school? That's what those idle people do." Teacher Xiao He proudly puffed out her chest.

But she didn't notice that the handsome old man Tan Tai had a dark face.

It seems that no one here plays this except him!

"Haha, isn't this the person the commander said 'nothing to do during the day, nothing to do at night'!" Li Jiujin grinned at Zhao Daqiang, Qian Dazhu and others around him.

Qian Dazhu stole a glance at the handsome middle-aged man with veins popping out of his forehead, and whispered, "Brother Jiujin, stop talking, Teacher Tantai is not looking good."

"Why?" Li Jiujin obviously hadn't reacted yet.

"Because I like writing poems and painting the most, but I don't use them!" The handsome middle-aged man almost sprayed Li Jiujin's face with saliva. "No, I'm so angry with you, I'm useless."

Li Dalianchang has been in the military camp for more than ten years, and he has seen all kinds of battles. Even if Tang Dao scolded him, he dared to talk to Tang Dao, but at this moment, he can only shrink his neck like a quail and endure it!

He didn't even dare to wipe the saliva on his face now!

Old Tan Tai is really a great guy. In the past half month since arriving at Dakouzidong, he has not rested for half a day. He ran around and said he was painting, but he didn't draw anything. Instead, he drew a sketch map first. There are mountains, water and roads, and they are clearly drawn.

This thing is simply a sand table drawn on paper. If the Japanese army attacked the Dakouzidong area that day, this map might have saved countless lives in the Four Lines Regiment.

In the Four Lines Regiment, no one relies on status to gain respect. Even the highest commander Tang Dao, the reason why he can be respected is never his rank of colonel, but that he can lead everyone to win and survive!

The same is true for Tan Tai Yunshu. The identity of the future father-in-law of the Four Lines Regiment may make people respect him, and the money he once sent for emergency relief may also make people give him three points of courtesy, but it will never make a well-deserved infantry company commander hold back his saliva.

Especially before the map is finished!

"Hey, Captain Tang, tell me what kind of steel it is. I want to go and see!" Seeing the handsome middle-aged man getting angry, even a strong teacher like Xiao He had to avoid him temporarily.

"Is the steel for making tanks possible?" Tang Dao nodded to the distance.

"That's good!" Teacher Xiao He turned his anger into joy and waved his hand. "Let's go, brothers, let's go and see the property of our arsenal."

A group of students and platoon leaders followed Teacher Xiao He and ran towards the steel blocks that were blown into pieces, fearing that if they ran slower, they would suffer the disaster of the fish pond.

The handsome old man Tan Tai looked at these big-headed soldiers, including his own students, and his eyes seemed to be unfriendly, so he looked at his daughter with a softer look.

And Tang Dao

The once elegant Jiangnan girl seems to have gone astray!

When did the temperament of the big sister develop?

Are the rough men of the Four Lines Group so poisonous?
