Rise from eight hundred.

The reason why the army colonel almost suffered a heart attack was not because Tang Dao casually took the head of a Japanese lieutenant general and division commander as a bet!

However, even among the nearly 106 troops of the First Corps, only three people knew about this tactic of catching the 3th Division.

He, a little army colonel, knew this not because he was a direct descendant of the commander of the regiment. The most direct reason was that he was the biological brother of the lieutenant general commander who was planning all this.

Otherwise, this is just a fishing tactic in the 'nesting' stage and will never be known to him.

But how did Tang Dao know about it?Tang Dao's voice was so low that no one else could hear it. It was basically certain that this young man knew about this strategy that was still in the making. The only uncertainty was how much inside information he knew.

. . . . . . . .

"Commander Tang, do you know that what you just said is related to the safety of [-] soldiers. I will fight to be punished by military law to prevent you from walking out of this door!" At the end of the office! In the back office, the Army Colonel's eyes flashed with coldness.

This is not an act. The Army Colonel knows very well that the Japanese No. 11 Army is aggressive and its strength is not inferior to that of the First Army. If you want to take a piece of flesh from such a powerful enemy, the risk can be imagined to be high. If you were not careful, it is very possible that you did not eat the meat, but was bitten by the Japanese and lost your arm.

The key to all this is to prevent the Japanese army from realizing that this is a trap. Secrecy is the top priority.

The person who knew this tactical plan was that the instigator and he were brothers and could not leak the secret. The other was an old brother who had followed the commander for 20 years. Even Xue Shuda himself might not believe it if he said he would leak the secret.

Even the commander-in-chief is still in the dark, and a telegram is sent every day asking about the war on the front line.

Is it possible that Tang Dao had plans for the 4th Army?Even today's small conflict on the street was intentional?

Thinking of this, how could the army colonel, who was the third brother of Commander Xue, not become murderous?
"Since I dare to say it, I know that Brother Xue will not do this!" Tang Dao, however, was not afraid and smiled lightly. "Moreover, I am not the leader of the Fourth Army Regiment now, but I have the same military position as you, Brother Xue. I am the colonel director of the 43rd Army Security Division, and I have a temporary security battalion under my command!

Why, you lead a regiment and I lead a battalion, but you don’t have the confidence to defeat me. Do you have to kill me? "

Faced with Tang Dao's ridicule, the army colonel did not smile, but he grasped one of the key points - the 43rd Army. The corners of his mouth twitched fiercely: "The 43rd Army? Aren't they on the way to retreat from Jiujiang to Jiangcheng? Guan What's wrong with them?"

"Hehe! Brother Xue, you are in Jiangcheng. The news is coming a little late. The entire 2rd Army should have turned around and returned to the front line of Jiujiang 43 hours ago." Tang Dao chuckled. "If you don't believe me, you can send a message to the headquarters of the First Corps, and then come and talk to me about how to win this battle."

The Army Colonel would not be easily fooled by Tang Dao's words, and immediately stood up and left. However, Tang Dao picked up the cup and drank tea leisurely.

The Army Colonel's reaction was as expected. If he had known that the tactical plan that had not yet been implemented was known to outsiders, he would probably feel just as anxious.

Because, according to the calculation of the time point, the 106th Division has begun to gather to attack the gap that was actively left. At this time, the arrow is ready to be fired.

As long as the Japanese army is not aware of the danger, when the 4th Division completely penetrates into that big pocket after 106 days, and all the troops responsible for blocking the Japanese 27th Division on the outside have deployed their defense lines, the 106th Division will be unable to fly.

可若是这4天内被日军发现异常，那可就糟糕了，日军第11军目前可拥有第3、第6、第9、第27、第101、第106共6个师团，兵力达15万人之巨。

Four days are enough time for the 4th Army to mobilize its troops. As long as the 11th Division can hold on for a week, the Japanese troops surrounded by the outside may even launch a counter-siege war. Not to mention eating up 106 Chinese troops in the mountains in one go, the heavy damage will definitely be It can be done.

'Severely injured' is just a word, but in reality, it was tens of thousands of young people lying dead in the green hills, with rivers of blood flowing!
However, if Tang Dao wants to ensure that this battle gives the 106th Division a good wife, no, a good dumpling, it is imperative to have in-depth contact with the 4th Army, which is the main force in the Battle of Wanjialing.

You know, in the past time and space, it was the 4 men of the 3th Army who blocked the main escape route of the 106th Division with all their strength, so that the rest of the Chinese army had the opportunity to surround them from all sides and beat up the drowned dogs.

For this reason, the 4th Army even paid a heavy price in the death of a colonel commander and the sacrifice of thousands of officers and soldiers.

You lock a person in an iron house without food or drink. In order to escape, fragile humans can even leave clearly visible scratches on the iron plate with their fingers!
The trapped beast is far more ferocious than the wild beasts in the mountains!

This idea was actually decided upon by Tang Dao the first time he met Xue Shuda.

Tang Dao believed that the colonel commander, who was promoted to lieutenant general of the army a few years later, had enough wisdom and talent.

Commander Xue's military talent was something few could match, but he was just a primary school student when he became an official. He completely relied on him to support him but he didn't work hard enough. An army colonel may be the ceiling for this guard regiment commander's military career.

Within a moment, the army colonel with a solemn face returned.

"Commander Tang, I just want to know how Commander Guo and you learned about the tactical plan of our First Corps to fight the Japanese invaders. This matter is of great importance, Commander Tang, please don't hide it!" The Army Colonel looked at him with a burning gaze. Tang Dao. "I just had a phone call with my brother from the front line, and he gave me full authority to handle it!"

"The tactic of leaving this not-so-obvious gap to lure the 106th Division into the bait is not available to anyone but a famous general-level commander." Tang Dao did not directly answer this person's direct question, but instead turned his attention to the Jiujiang area hanging on the wall. Map, sighed.

"But Brother Xue, do you know that what makes Tang Dao admire your brother is not how clever the tactical design is."

"Commander Tang, feel free to speak out!" the Army Colonel said solemnly, taking a deep breath to cover up his inner horror.

Tang Dao pointed at the gap in the defense line left by the First Corps half a month ago, which seemed to be inadvertently and continuously moving tactically. Tang Dao knew a few more secrets than he imagined.

Moreover, it has become impossible to keep him!

It’s not because he is the leader of a famous heroic regiment. No matter how strong the Four Lines Regiment is, it is just an infantry regiment. No matter how brave Tang Dao is, he is just an army colonel. It is nothing to the commander of a regiment with heavy troops. But since Tang Dao said 43 After he personally confirmed that the Sichuan Army had turned around and returned to the front line, the 43 Sichuan Army was his strongest guarantee.

At this time, the army colonel was more curious than intimidated. He wanted to know what Tang Dao would think of his brother.

"It's your brother's courage to dare to take grain from the fire! Even if he fails and is criticized by everyone for it, he has the courage to do so! He is already a famous general, and he doesn't have to use such radical tactics. Even if the battle ends in failure, he is just a regiment-level general. Commander, there is no need to bear any responsibility at all, and his reputation as a famous general will not be tarnished!" Tang Dao said, facing the scorching gaze of the Army Colonel.

"But he still made such a choice, because he knew very well that China today needs hope so much. Only hope can allow our Chinese army and our Chinese people to be defeated despite repeated defeats. Fight again and again!
Crying, retreating, and begging will not save the country and the nation. The only way is to fight and fight to the death!Personal honor and family survival are nothing in the face of such a major event! "

"Only now do I understand why my brother admires Commander Tang so much!" The Army Colonel stared at Tang Dao in confusion for a while before saying.

"Perhaps you two are the same kind of people!"

At this moment, he would no longer mistakenly think that Tang Dao would target his 70th Army, because what Tang Dao just said was very different from the conversation his brother had with him in private.

After he learned of his brother's plan that day, all the guards on that cliff retreated 50 meters away. He tried to persuade his brother, using almost the reason Tang Dao said.

But his brother, who was staring at the vast mountains and rivers, answered him: "This battle may not be able to change the situation of the entire battle, but it can use the heads of [-] Japanese invaders to tell the soldiers and civilians across the country that the Japanese are not invincible."

China has 600 million navy, land and air force. It will consume 600 of them today and another 100 tomorrow. Even if our [-] million army is completely exhausted, the Japanese will have to pay at least [-] million.

And China has 4 million people and 6000 million young people. Do the Japanese have 1000 million young people who can accompany China to fight to the end?
In such an era, I, Xue Boling, and the Xue family are just a speck of dust, so what should I worry about?
If it works, it will work!If it doesn’t work, someone will take his place! ""good!Since my brother has given me full authority to handle it, Xue has taken the bet that Commander Tang mentioned earlier.As agreed before, whoever loses will be treated to a drink! "The army colonel, who had lowered his guard, returned to his previous free and easy attitude and took the initiative to extend his hand.

Tang Dao smiled slightly, stretched out his hand, and swore a high-five!
"Haha! That drinking session happened after the war. The battlefield was fierce. I don't know if you and I will still have the chance to drink that drinking session. Why don't we make a small bet first? Let's bet on whether Tang Tuan will win or win tonight. Don't laugh at me, a landlord, for being stingy." The Army Colonel laughed.

"I picked it up for my eldest brother who came with me. Anyway, he lost and his food and drinks were already prepared." Tang Dao also grinned.

"That fat man? A philistine businessman, how can he be qualified to sit at the banquet table between you and me?" The Army Colonel curled his lips.

"Pfft!" Tang Dao almost spit out his tea.

He believed that if Commander Haer heard what the army colonel said, he would definitely find a place to hang himself with a piece of hemp rope.

After all, Fatty Fan is also a veteran who has been in the army for 20 years. He is more meaty, but when his back is straight, he still has a somewhat heroic air, which is just a philistine.

However, in order to keep a low profile, this person's big face looked too greasy. At this moment, a dignified Army Lieutenant General was probably still looking for a place to hang out around the office playground!
"What?" Seeing Tang Dao's appearance, the Army Colonel's eyes twitched slightly, and he secretly said something wrong.

After all, it is definitely not an ordinary person who can make Tang Dao call him big brother.

"Hehe, his surname is Fan and his first name is Shaozeng!"

"Fan Ha'er?" The Army Colonel was surprised.

The Sichuan Army is definitely a weird one among the Chinese military. When it left Sichuan, the two armies had more than 10,000 people. All of them had three-piece sets of bamboo hats, straw sandals, and pipes. Forget about the dregs of weapons and equipment, they didn’t even have military rations. What the hell is a multi-band?

Does that mean the whole army is going to beg?Everywhere they went, they asked the local county government and wealthy households to "collect donations" for military rations, and the situation was almost exploding.

Just tell me, from top to bottom, who cares about this 'beggar army'? I'm afraid even the Japanese didn't count the 10,000+ Sichuan troops as hostile forces!
But what surprised both China and Japan was that although the Sichuan army's combat power was weak, its fighting will was ridiculously strong, and it would fight tooth and nail at every turn.

That's not one person, one squad, one platoon. It's an infantry division. From the division commander down to the privates, they all fight to the death.

From Southeast to North China and then to Central China, within one year, the first wave of 10,000+ Sichuan troops in the Sichuan War of Resistance made everyone sit up and take notice at the cost of over [-]% of the troops being lost in battle.

Everyone had to choose to face this army in rags, including their commander. Commander Haer, who had not left Sichuan, was naturally among them.

Even though he has been marginalized, Fan Haer, who has been involved in the Sichuan military for a long time, still has extensive connections, and it is by no means as simple as it seems on the surface.

Such a person actually has some interactions with Tang Dao!

After further thinking, he found that the 43rd Army, which was no longer part of the Sichuan Army, had an inseparable connection with him. He himself belonged to the 22nd Army. Fan Haer, who was still in Sichuan, rushed to the mountain city to meet with him.
And now the influence of the Sichuan Military Department is not limited to its performance on the battlefield. As the war situation advances and the military and political departments retreat to mountain cities, Sichuan Province has become the most important food and soldier supply area in the country.

It seems that the Tang Dao, which belongs to the Sichuan Army Department, is more than just a "tough" character on the surface.

"Then after you and I have finished talking, I will go and apologize to General Fan!" said the army colonel who took a deep look at Tang Dao.

"That's not necessary. My eldest brother is just a wanderer now. He came here just for the occasion. However, if the Xue family members encounter difficulties in the mountain city, he can be of some help." Tang Dao He said with a faint smile.

This was a small favor that he was paying back to Mr. Ha'er for insisting on keeping up the show.

After this battle, Commander Xue's reputation will definitely be in the sky. Being able to control the Xue family will be beneficial to his activities of lobbying senior officials in Sichuan Province. At most, he will be disliked by the generals of the Sichuan Army.

However, he has been excluded from the circle of friends at this time, so why does he still care about this little thing?

"Let's get down to business. The Japanese invaders have left the resting place. If Commander Tang were the commander of our First Corps, where would he place the decisive battle?"

"Here!" Tang Dao pointed directly at Wanjialing. "I will put the 4th Army in the front and lead the 106th Division to attack. When the encirclement is formed, they will try their best, but they will find that the 4th Army is just an iron door bolt. They will not be able to move forward even if they hit their heads and bleed."

"Commander Tang, I surrendered but also lost. I'll buy the drink first!" The Army Colonel waved his hand and admitted defeat.

As the leader of the 4th Army's guard regiment, Xue Shuda is naturally a prominent figure in the 4th Army, and he has some intention of competing with Tang Dao.

The Lushan area in Jiujiang is surrounded by mountains. At first glance, everywhere seems to be a place for decisive battles.

Who knew that Tang Dao actually directly mentioned one of the two positions pre-selected by his brother for the decisive battle, and even positioned the 4th Army as the main force for the decisive battle? It was as if he had heard him and his brother secretly discuss the battle situation. The discussion is general.

There's nothing to bet on, it's not on the same level at all.

"Moreover, if I were the commander, I would not use the elite guards like the guard regiment on the frontal battlefield, but use them to penetrate behind enemy lines to prevent the Japanese headquarters from escaping in the dense mountains and dense forests." Tang Dao continued.

In the great victory at Wanjialing in time and space, the 106th Division headquarters took advantage of the poor visibility at night. The general and division commander hid under the nose of the Chinese army, and finally escaped smoothly by taking advantage of the terrain.

In this era, just adding a 43rd Army is not enough. Tang Dao is determined to add the 4th Army Guard Regiment as a lock. No matter what, the 106th Division Headquarters must be kept in the mountains of China.

The bet between the two groups, winning or losing, is actually not that important. What is important is the lieutenant general level fat head.

"Okay! I will tell my brother about Captain Tang's suggestion. Why don't I have someone contact the restaurant and bring the food to the office and invite Captain Tang and all the Four Elements brothers."

"Brother Xue, let me stop talking! Regardless of winning or losing, my Brother Fan has prepared all the food. He has nothing else, but his pockets are quite abundant. People like you and me who only rely on military salary to make a living should not fight with He fought." Tang Dao said with a smile.

"If Brother Xue insists on feeling that he owes me something! Brother Xue will definitely be promoted after the war, and there will be a lot of vacancies in the 4th Army. May I take the liberty of recommending someone to Commander Xue? Brother Xue, just help pass the message , Commander Xue wants to scold me, and after the war, I will stand on my back and apologize!"

"You said, I'm quite curious about which talent can catch your eye, Commander Tang." The Army Colonel was slightly startled, full of curiosity.

Although Tang Dao and the 4th Army are friendly forces, they belong to completely different military departments. Generally speaking, they will never participate in each other's internal affairs.

But Tang Dao actually had the idea of ​​​​recommending someone, and Tang Dao was by no means the kind of person who didn't know how to advance or retreat. This only shows that he was extremely sure that that person not only had outstanding military talents, but would be liked by his brother, the commander. , let alone the risk of so-called factionalism.

Who would such a person be?
