Chapter 123 The Sorrow of a Warrior

He didn't ask if Tang Dao made it, but directly asked Tang Dao the reason.

As the most elite soldier on the battlefield, Tang Dao possesses battlefield intuition beyond ordinary people, and as the commander, the lieutenant colonel of the army also has keen intuition.

His intuition told him that Tang Dao's destruction of the radio station was not out of malice, but to prevent any news from reaching the warehouse. This news would be difficult for him to accept, but he still felt that he had the right to know.

Because he is the supreme commander of Sihang Warehouse.

"Sir, because the radio will allow our 524th regiment to receive military orders that neither you nor I want to receive." Tang Dao looked directly at the Army Lieutenant Colonel who looked directly at him and answered frankly.

"A military order you don't want to receive?" The Army Lieutenant Colonel was slightly shocked.

He stood up, walked back and forth a few steps, turned back suddenly, and his face became extremely ugly: "You mean, we will be asked to retreat?"

"However, we are fighting here not only to defend our last position in Zhabei, Songhu, but also to unite the people across the country and arouse the determination of the people across the country to resist Japan." Anger welled up on the face of the Army Lieutenant Colonel, pointing his finger at the Suzhou River to the south.

"Look at those Chinese people. They had already accepted their fate. They dragged their families and their families to survive in the concession, but now? They are cheering, they are singing, and they are gradually awakening. As long as they dare to resist, what do the little Japanese invaders have? Terrible? They can also be killed by us and bleed into rivers.

Could it be that those people couldn't see it? "

"Yes! Sir!" Tang Dao looked at the commander in front of him with a very bad expression with some pity.

"Whether you believe it or not, there is intelligence that the theater headquarters has been ordered from above that my headquarters stationed at Sihang Warehouse will be evacuated to the concession no later than early this morning at the latest.

If I hadn't short-circuited the battery of the radio to the point where it couldn't be turned on, I believe this military order would have reached our regiment in the morning. "

“Although the Battle of Sihang Warehouse is not worth mentioning in scale compared with the Battle of Songhu, it is like an introduction, an introduction that can ignite the determination of the entire Chinese nation to resist the war.

Because, if we want to win this Patriotic War, it is not only possible for us soldiers who are committed to sacrifice and some people who can clearly understand the gap in military power between China and Japan. Only when the people across the country wake up and fight the war can we There is a chance of winning this war.

I thank Jinyuan and the 524th Regiment. I would rather be such an introduction, even if the whole army is buried in it.

Tell me, what reason do they have for us to retreat? "

The Army Lieutenant Colonel, whose face instantly looked extremely defeated, seemed to be questioning Tang Dao, but in fact, it was more like talking to himself to comfort him.

But even if he was trying to comfort himself, the Army Lieutenant Colonel actually understood that since Tang Dao did this, he must have really received the information he said.

Only by destroying the field radio can the Sihang Warehouse be unable to receive military orders from the theater headquarters.

He knew better that given his personality, no matter how reluctant he was to accept it, once a military order was issued, as a soldier he would still obey it.

Because he is the purest soldier.

Soldiers should take obedience to orders as their bounden duty. That has been his life motto since entering the military academy.

"Is it because the Japanese are causing trouble behind the scenes?" The Army Lieutenant Colonel quickly broke away from his sadness, his eyes flashed, and he pointed directly behind the conspiracy.

"Intelligence shows that it was precisely because they could not hold off for a long time that the Japanese dispatched military headquarters to put pressure on the concession area with warnings of imminent heavy artillery bombardment, and the group of Westerners who wanted to protect themselves turned to put pressure on our senior officials, and some people always I imagined that the League of Nations led by Westerners could sanction Japan from our perspective, so the military order to retreat came into being." Tang Dao, who knew this history, could only sigh slightly.

Did that person really think that this was a fight between two strong men, and that the police would just stand up and say something?

Thousands of years of Chinese and foreign history have proven that putting peace on mercy will only make things worse.

"Leave me alone for a while!" After Tang Dao frankly explained the reason, the Army Lieutenant Colonel sat down with great dejection, silently lit a cigarette, and waved his hand to signal Tang Dao to leave.

Tang Dao could only turn around and leave.

He understood the deep sadness in the eyes of the commander, the lieutenant colonel.

This pure soldier was determined to serve his country. Before he participated in the Battle of Songhu, he had already left a letter home to his wife that made future generations dazzle just by reading it:

"My wife Aijian: I will lead my troops into Husong to participate in the war within a few days. I specially wrote this note to comfort my thoughts.

Half of the rivers and mountains of our country are being eroded day by day, and the disaster of ruining the country and annihilating the species will happen to others, but it is up to me to control it. If I don't pay attention, my descendants will have nothing to lose.

Killing enemies for the country is the ambition of a revolutionary soldier; but it is not suitable for a soldier to have a family. Now that I have one, I have few family members and few relatives. My heart is not made of stone, and I can call out without support!

But the duty is to serve the country and not take care of the family. Lao Qing takes full responsibility for the comfort of relatives, the upbringing of children, and all measures for household chores, so that we can avoid being distracted by travelers! "

As a husband, a father, a son, and a soldier of the country, the Army Lieutenant Colonel chose the latter without hesitation. He just wanted to earn a future for future generations.

Even before coming to Sihang Warehouse, he already knew that he and the 400 troops were abandoned by the entire army, and the purpose of burning more than 400 lives was just the final whitewashing of the defeat of Songhu by some people at the highest level, and even , it can’t even be regarded as whitewashing, it can only be regarded as an attitude.

But he still came, and he came without hesitation, because he is a soldier.

As an abandoned child, no regrets; death, no regrets; it is just the duty of a soldier!

However, the reason for insisting on fighting was so easily denied by the superiors, and the real internal reason was actually from the enemy.

The country is so weak that it can't even decide the battle to defend the country. How sad it is!

But this is just one of his sorrows.

If the order to retreat is given, the only possibility is to retreat into the concession.

However, have those bigwigs who can change their orders every day ever thought about what will happen to this elite army after withdrawing into the concession?

When Tang Dao saw the sadness in the eyes of the lieutenant colonel of the army looking at the concession, he knew that the commander almost understood the fate of himself and his isolated army.

How could the Japanese army, which was beaten badly, be willing to force this isolated army that caused them heavy losses into the concession?

Since they can use heavy artillery to force the once arrogant Westerners to surrender, there must be other ways to make them give in again.

As a soldier, he could not die gloriously on the battlefield against Japan, but became a victim of political compromise.

This is the deepest sorrow in the heart of a soldier.

Of course, Tang Dao also knew that destroying the radio station could only delay the news for one day at most.

Whether he wanted to face it or not, the military order would be delivered to the warehouse sooner or later, and he, a little butterfly, would not be able to reverse the inherent trajectory of the stubborn train of history.

The reason is very simple. The Japanese army had no intention of blocking the Suzhou River at all. The numerous secret agents in the concession could enter the warehouse at any time.

There are still two guys in the warehouse who were beaten and tied up. Li Jiujin was very powerful and did not give them any chance to prove anything.

But, will history really repeat itself simply?

The moment the little butterfly turned away, her eyes were as cold as a sword!
