"How can Zhao be rewarded with such courtesy to all of you?" The white-headed general stood in front of the three of them, standing upright, and after returning the salute with a standard military salute, he said with a wry smile.

"Chief Zhao has been traveling a long distance, please invite me inside!" Tang Daosu invited me.

"Although Zhao is forty-five this year, his body is OK, and there is no problem with this level of marching." The white-headed general waved his hand, and confidence surged from his thin face.

Although he had never seen Commander Li and Commander Cheng of the 104th Division, Tang Dao's telegram to the 17th Division headquarters stated that he would invite the military chief officers of the 104th Division and the 683rd Brigade to come to the gathering.

The two of them had already shown their identity when they received the military ranks. The white-headed general was very polite and shook hands with the two generals first, and then looked at the tall Tang Dao: "You are the Commander Tang! You are indeed a young hero, and your reputation is well-deserved!"

"Sir Zhao praised Tang Dao as a latecomer, and he still needs more support from several officials. Tang Dao has prepared wine and food, and I hope the superiors and brothers will appreciate their faces!" Tang Dao said with a smile.

"Haha, you don't admit it, saying that Captain Tang, you are Yingjie, you are Yingjie. Just talking about this trick of calling everyone to eat directly is really about getting into my heart. Hurry up along the way, and Dahei under Lao Zhao's butt is another stubborn person. If you don't give it food, you won't try hard. Lao Zhao only ate one piece of cake this day. Now he is so hungry that his stomach is gangling. It's not that the belt is tighter, and he's all ugly just now." The white-headed general laughed.

Seeing that this person who was unlucky about his strange mount, the three of them admired him and were amused by the person who was not limited to the minor details.

All three of them knew that the 17th Division is difficult now.

In the battle of Weiluling half a year ago, 8,000 of the 17th Division, which had nearly 12,000 people, died in battle. In addition, those who were injured were able to stand out of the position, but only 2,000 were equivalent to directly crippling the Northwest Army Infantry Division.

The 17th Division, which was crippled, could only withdraw from the battlefield and repair it in the rear. However, because the war in Jin Province was in full swing, no troops above the division were allowed to retreat to the Yellow River without the order of the Ministry of Military Affairs. Therefore, it is said that repairing it, in fact, it is to give you a certain amount of time to recruit soldiers and train again and enter the battlefield at any time.

The 17th Division is almost equivalent to reconstruction. Whether from personnel or equipment, the military expenditure allocated to the top is only a little bit, and the difficulty can be imagined.

But no one expected that the 17th Division would be so difficult. It was so difficult that the commander of the division did not even have a war horse. When he marched for a long distance, he had to make a donkey and shout as a mount.

You should know that even in the most difficult time, the 683rd Brigade still retains a cavalry platoon with more than 30 war horses.

Although the Sichuan Army was called the "Beggar Son Army" by the Jinsui Army, at least the officers above the regiment commander level of the Sichuan Army were assigned to war horses, and they would never ride a donkey to a meeting like the famous lieutenant general of the 17th Division.

It can be imagined that when more than a dozen generals gathered at the headquarters of the 80th Army, they were riding tall horses, but the heavy general of the Northwest Army rode a donkey, and the generals had a rich expression on their faces.

But obviously, since this man dared to ride, he did not take the so-called face seriously. He would rather use the expenses saved by not worthy of the war horses to equip and ammunition.

This behavior is even more admirable.

The white-headed general is truly worthy of his reputation.

The place where Tang Dao hosted the three generals was not anywhere else, but in his combat conference room, there was an Eight Immortals table, and four people sat in one place.

Tang Dao is not stingy with food, but in fact the dishes served are very simple, including five meats, two vegetables and one soup, and the five meats include pork, mutton and rabbit meat. However, they are all air-dried meat sent by hunters in the mountains. They may not be exquisite enough, but the amount is large and full, which is most suitable for soldiers who work hard in war and eat hard.

However, the biggest difference between it and the usual banquet is that the jar of old wine brought with me hardly moved.

It’s not that Commander Cheng said that Tang Dao has a lot of alcohol, so no one dares to compete with him. The white-headed general looked weak, but there were people from the northwest who were not good at drinking, and Sichuan Province is also a big province for producing white wine. If these three people face Tang Dao, let alone whether this jar of five kilograms of wine is enough, it is even a single-wheel strength. Tang Dao is considered a wine jar, so it is probably not easy to survive.

However, Tang Dao, as the master, only gave an opening remark, and invited three guests to eat something to make their stomachs first. The white-headed general came up and added a bowl of white rice. He started to work hard to dry the rice with the broth, and proved with practical actions that what he said before was true. He was really hungry, which made the other three people have a big appetite.

They are all soldiers. Once they concentrate on attacking food, what kind of wind and clouds will it look like?

Anyway, the little bald man who was helping to make up for food changed some cognition this night, so he almost had an illusion that the Venus on the head of the officials could not be determined by the way of eating!

Before I could drink the wine, I took half of the rice first, and 70% of the meat on the table, but the vegetarian dish that the cooking class specially used to relieve greasy for the superiors was not moved by chopsticks.

Master Li of the 104th Division said in a sentence: "I eat this broken thing every day, and I'm almost full. I finally have some oil. Why do I say I'll keep it for a few days and I'll get rid of a bird!"

Of course, more importantly, the three generals who were busy working hard all their hearts were like mirrors. They came to the Four-Royal Corps' garrison, but it was not that everyone was really making an appointment to go together. The four guard companies and cavalry gathered together. In the past, when the Japanese were strong, they could fight even if they had a infantry brigade blocked them. Now, China has gathered a small 100,000 heavy troops in the Taihang Mountains, and even if the Japanese sent a gang to block them, they were not afraid.

They came here, probably because Commander Tang, who also had a place in the General Staff of the Southeast Jin War Zone, had something to say.

As a colonel-level officer, Tang Dao was able to join the General Staff, which was a kind of honor in itself. If he could still have refreshing insights at the senior military conference organized by the General Staff through communication, then he would be just around the corner.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! Perhaps in addition to the brigade commander Cheng Da, who knows Tang Da best, the other two division-level officers think so.

This is the basic operation of each army. How can two generals promoted from the bottom not know the paths?

This is Tang Dao. The 104th Division owes others favors, which is considered a favor. What about the white-headed general of the 17th Division? It is completely incompatible with Tang Dao and the Four-Entertainment Group. If you can come after receiving Tang Dao’s invitation, it is purely because you are curious about Tang Dao.

Tang Dao was promoted to Army Colonel at the age of 21, and he was a regiment commander. In addition, his series of achievements on the Songhu battlefield and on the retreat road can be said to be a miracle.

The Northwest Army's heavy generals are elegant in appearance, but they are the most hero in their hearts. Just like when he was in Niangziguan, he knew that the 17th Division, which lacked artillery, was definitely not the opponent of the two Japanese infantry regiments with a force of up to 5,000 and a cannon aircraft, but he still took the order and held on.

He came here purely for Tang Dao's past achievements.

But if Tang Dao walked through the back door to clear the behavior of the three of them too despicable, he would probably leave overnight if the literary and artistic figure who could not rub the sand in his eyes.

With this understanding, this meal is naturally destined to be just a simple taste and fill your belly.

It took only half an hour. Even after finishing the meal, Tang Dao was not humble and shy. He directly asked Xia Dayu to call people to remove the remaining soup and put on the new tea that had been picked by the mountain villagers.

"Captain Zhao, Chief Li, Chief Cheng, can you tell me that the purpose of my Tang Dao invited three people to come to my four-party group today?" Tang Dao stood up and stood in front of the hanging map of southeastern Shanxi, asking straight to the point.

"Brother Tang, you want the two commanders Zhao and Li to help you advise the speech at the next day's General Staff meeting! So that the boss can see your true level so that he can take important tasks to you and the Four-Shanghai League Committee. Brother, you are so quick to make a small plan! If you don't join the army and become a accountant, you will definitely be the top-notch one."

Commander Cheng Da smiled and took out three cigarettes from the cigarette box that Tang Dao placed on the table, handed them over to the two teachers, wiped the matches and lit one on his own and said with a smile.

"But, my brother, you really have nothing to say about your vision. Zhao and Li, the two division commanders, must not say that they are in the southeastern war zone of Jin, even if they are placed in the whole country, they are all the best. I will guide you, no problem."

"I said to Commander Cheng, I almost couldn't accept what you said, Lao Li almost didn't know how to say it in the country, but in this second war zone, you said you are the number one general, who dares to say no? Last Battle of Shentouling, the Japanese devils you killed by one of your brigades were more than the Japanese devils that I fought in the past six months after fighting. There were more than 10,000 people from my 104th Division, and everyone was convinced." Master Li of Sichuan Army shook his head repeatedly, feeling humble.

"Yes! Commander Tang, you are young, but looking at your past achievements, you will survive in danger, but the final result is amazing. If I was Lao Zhao, I would not be able to do it anyway. Lao Zhao's only record that I can make was exchanged for the lives of nearly 10,000 brothers in my 17th Division. If possible, I would rather be an unknown general." The white-headed general mentioned the blocking battle that brought honor to himself, but looked sad.

The White Lu Ridge is located on the right wing of Niangziguan. There has always been a saying that if you want to seize the Big Lu Ridge, you must first take the White Lu Ridge. Therefore, the commander of the Eastern Route Army of the Japanese North China Front Army, Saburo Kawayashi, only one brigade before Niangziguan, but he used 36 artillery pieces, nearly 100 bombers, and the force was as high as two infantry regiments.

However, the 17th Division relied on sacrifice and without any foreign aid, it forced the Japanese invaders to block the 15th day in the Weilu Ridge, which made Niangzi Pass hold for more than half a month, and the Japanese army had to delay the plan of attacking the original city from both sides.

It was this precious 20 days that allowed many businesses, government agencies, factories and civilians stationed in the original city to retreat smoothly, preserving a large part of the vitality of Jin Province.

If the Japanese army quickly break through Niangzi Pass, nearly 30,000 Japanese troops entered from east Jin and attacked from Xinkou and Tianshui, most of the soldiers and civilians in the original city would be doomed.

It can be said that the 17th Division sacrificed a lot, but also made great contributions to defending Jin Province. Even if the principal did not like the general who was very close to the 80th Army, he had to award medals.

However, between intentional or unintentional, almost no newspapers promoted this battle. This awe-inspiring battle was destroyed in the long river of history. No matter at that time or in the future, few people knew about this battle.

The martyrdom of 8,000 Shaanxi Province's Lengwo was only built by the local government after the war to commemorate it.

Of course, the real reason why General Baitou was extremely sad when he mentioned this was not whether the Chinese people could remember his brothers who died in battle, but that they all died under his strict orders, and he had the intention to die together, but in the end, he was unable to continue to live.

Because his country is still suffering from war and his mission needs to continue.

"Hehe, don't be humble to yourself. Tang Dao is very young and has many shortcomings in his experience, but Tang Dao's eyes are not blind. You three commanders of our Chinese army and the Japanese invaders' bloody battles, and they are still sticking to each other regardless of victory or defeat. This is the soul of our Chinese army.

Chief Li, in the Battle of Changzhi, your troops had more than 2,000 people in a regiment of more than 300 people, and only 300 remained. Such an iron-blooded army was the Sichuan Army, and I was honored by Tang Dao.

Chief Zhao, I won’t mention the tragic battle at the Weilu Ridge, but I can tell you that if one day my Tang Dao can survive until the end of the war, I will build a monument at the highest peak of the Weilu Ridge, and engrave the list of all the martyrs of the 17th Division on it for future generations to admire!

Brother Cheng, the 683rd Brigade was regarded as the number one enemy by the Japanese invaders. It was only after the Japanese invaders were beaten to hurt. Your name will surely shine in the thousands of years of history of China, and it is no less than any famous general." Tang Dao talked about the three of them's achievements, as he knew them.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Even these three famous generals with their own strengths, they couldn't help feeling excited when Tang Dao said this.

In fact, what Tang Dao said was in their hearts.

But Tang Dao's words were like a thunderclap, which shocked the three of them.

"But, you all guessed wrongly, the three commanders. Tang Dao asked the War Zone Command for leave yesterday. Our regiment has important affairs. As the regiment commander, I cannot leave and I cannot participate in this combat meeting."

After saying this, even the brigade commander Cheng Da, who knew very well, was slightly stunned. Of course, he knew that Tang Dao did not seek out the three of them for the sake of being promoted, but it was inevitable to discuss regional strategies and tactics. He also hoped that Tang Dao would use his younger and more enterprising combat thinking to influence those conservative veterans!

Even if the final strategic deployment plan cannot be changed, it is good to have some impact and bring some new changes. Why doesn’t Tang Dao go?

The same is true for the brigade commander Cheng Da, not to mention the other two preconceived commanders. Tang Dao did not come to the back door, so what did this meal be for?

Two middle-aged people who have experienced many changes in the world suddenly couldn't understand the young man in front of them.

"The three officials probably know that Tang Dao is purchasing in Linfen City! I used the ocean of gold seized from the Japanese invaders to buy daily necessities that were about half a year for my four-way team." Tang Dao smiled.

"So many!" The two masters took a breath.

It’s enough to live in a group for half a year, and if you give them a teacher, you can last for two or three months! This is a few hundred thousand kilograms of grain!

This is really a wealthy family.

But soon, the two division commanders discovered that they were really poor for too long and had too little vision.

Hundreds of thousands of kilograms of grain really is nothing.

"Hehe, but the three officials probably don't know that before purchasing these essential supplies in life, I had already contacted the Jin Provincial Arsenal Bureau and purchased some arms." Tang Dao smiled brightly.

"Some?" It's also the brigade commander Cheng Da knows Tang Dao. When he hears this uncertain quantifier, he instinctively feels wrong. "Brother, just say, how much money did you spend to buy it."

"About 2.2 million Yinyang! The main reason is that the Ordnance Department is not in stock. You said that a provincial Ordnance Department has a large number of arsenals under your command. It has only such a small amount of inventory. Isn't it too bad?" Tang Dao said casually.

The three generals looked at each other and their breathing almost stopped.

Even if all the heavy firepowers of the three of them are added together, it is probably not worth the price!

Be confident and remove the word "estimation" and the three of us are just a bun in front of this guy! The brigade commander Cheng's golden eyes were full of this meaning.

However, the brigade commander Cheng, who already knew the meaning of Tang Dao, didn't care about asking questions like a curious baby. Now he regrets it but regrets it.

If he had known that there were so many arms and special ones, he should have brought the 772nd Regiment. No, the two main regiments of 772 and 771 were brought together. They could not only have a good meal for everyone, but also carry guns and cannons back to the base.

Now, what can this pack horse company do? The food I imagined will not taste delicious in an instant.

The conference room was a little quiet for a moment, silent to a stagnation.

"Captain Tang, what you mean by telling us about this is..." It was the other person who broke the tranquility and asked a little incredible.

"Our Four Army is located in a close defense line. In a more literary way, it is called "The One-Single-A-Single-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand-Brand

"These arms, except for some of the equipment provided by our four regiments, were all given to three adjacent friendly troops.

It's a gift, no need to return it, but I have a condition!"

"What conditions are you going to say." The white-headed general nodded with deep eyes and he nodded extremely seriously.

Such a huge batch of arms, even if he was distributed to three families, he could obtain at least one infantry regiment equipment. However, his life experience told himself that there is never a pie in the sky, only a trap!

It is normal to have conditions. If there is no conditions, it feels hot to hold this batch of weapons and equipment.

"In this battle, not to mention the grand strategy of the entire war zone, just our defense tactics of more than a hundred miles, I hope that several commanders will listen to me."

Tang Dao's words are shocking!
