Chapter 120 Acting on One's Own Initiative

Early morning on October 29th.

The sleeping soldiers in the warehouse woke up and were busy eating breakfast to prepare for a new day of fighting.

But in the command post on the fourth floor, there was an almost suffocating silence.

Battalion Commander Yang Ruifu's face could be described as livid.

The only field radio used by the 524th Regiment for external communication was broken.

In other words, it's not broken, but it just can't be turned on.

Because the water and electricity in the warehouse have been cut off by the Japanese army, the field radio can only use its own battery. In order to save battery power, the Army Lieutenant Colonel stipulated that, except for special circumstances, it can only be turned on twice a day, in the morning and evening, for communication with the division headquarters and the concession. Contact within.

However, when the signal soldiers turned on the radio as usual in the morning and planned to communicate with the division headquarters, they found that the battery with half power last night could not turn on the radio.

The communications squad leader was sweating profusely and couldn't even speak clearly.

The lieutenant colonel was equally frightened and angry.

This is simply more despairing than hearing last night that we can no longer obtain any supplies. That means that the Sihang Warehouse has truly become an isolated island from this moment on. Let alone supplies, no information from the outside world can be transmitted in.

The battery was inspected and there were obvious signs of short circuit, which was obviously man-made.

The communications class where the field radio station is located is right next to the headquarters. It serves as the command center for the warehouse defenders. Even when the war in the warehouse is at its fiercest, there are at least four sentries standing guard in the security class directly under the battalion headquarters from the stairs up here.

Who can escape the ears of the four sentries and enter the warehouse to sabotage the field radio?

What is even more puzzling is that this terrifying infiltrator only damaged the field radio battery and did not perform any other acts of sabotage.

The Army Lieutenant Colonel who calmed down from his shock and anger narrowed his eyes slightly, with a cold look on his face: "Go, ask Captain Tang Dao to come to the headquarters. I have something to tell him."

Although the theater headquarters has sent a telegram that all warehouses have been promoted to one level, the warehouse defenders did not take it seriously. Moreover, no new military rank badges were delivered. Basically, they are still called according to their original positions, such as Army Lieutenant Colonel This is the first time that the school has addressed Tang Dao's latest military rank in such a formal manner.

Yang Ruifu was shocked. He understood what the change of title meant.

That meant that this was an extremely formal conversation, an exchange between an Army colonel and an Army captain, that almost required a formal transcript.

Could it be?

But indeed, apart from Tang Dao, he couldn't think of anyone else with such unpredictable abilities.

Yang Ruifu no longer dared to think about it. If so, it would have an unimaginable impact on the warehouse defenders.

The Army Major even had the urge to suggest that the matter should be suppressed even if it was Tang Dao.

Until this moment, he didn't know how important Tang Dao was to him and even this desperate army. It was even so indispensable that he could ignore even making such a big mistake.

However, he still couldn't figure out why Tang Dao did this. It was illogical.

The guard squad leader who was responsible for notifying Tang Dao came back soon, but instead of bringing Tang Dao back, Shangguan Yun and veteran Youzi Li Jiujin came.

The lieutenant colonel's originally cold face was filled with anger: "Where is Captain Tang Dao?"

Shangguan Yun and Li Jijin looked at each other guiltily, and finally the company commander Shangguan Yun reported: "Tang Dao took Lao Li and the third team out of the warehouse at three o'clock in the morning. He said that the Japanese army will not give up today. Large-scale attacks may not happen again, but small-scale harassment and shelling will definitely continue. He has to make the Japanese commander cry again, otherwise he will have no chance. "

"Li Jijin, you and your third squad are back, where are the Tang Dao people?" The lieutenant colonel's face became even more angry.

"The platoon leader said he would lurk in the ruins throughout the day, waiting for opportunities to coldly kill Japanese commanders at all levels." Li Jijin licked his dry lips and said with some difficulty.

As a veteran, he already felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere at the headquarters. Both the regimental deputy and the battalion commander looked too ugly.

"Bastard!" the Army Lieutenant Colonel slapped his hand on the simple conference table and paced back and forth in the room angrily.

"Who does he think Tang Dao is, the God of War? He makes decisions without reporting to his superiors! And you, Shangguan Yun, how did you become the company commander? During the battle between the two armies, your platoon leader came up with the idea Just leave and stay on the battlefield privately, why don't you report to me? "

Shangguan Yun and Veteran Youzi looked at each other. Of course, they didn't understand why the supreme commander was so furious. It seemed that this was not the first time that Tang Dao had done this. Moreover, Tang Dao left the warehouse because the man in front of him had ordered that only Shangguan should be used. Just report in the cloud.

Perhaps only Yang Ruifu knew what Chief Xie meant by being able to make decisions. It was not about leaving the warehouse and lurking on the battlefield to snipe the Japanese troops, but about destroying the field radio.

If it was just suspicion before, now the fact that Tang Dao left the warehouse since three o'clock in the morning is almost confirmed to be his doing. He had enough time and enough ability, except for his unknown motive.

However, whether it was Yang Ruifu or an Army lieutenant colonel, even if they had already determined that it was Tang Dao who did it, what really made them angry was not that Tang Dao secretly destroyed the radio station and placed the warehouse on an information island, but that for whatever reason, Tang Dao should report to them and should not make decisions without authorization.

"Did Tang Dao say anything before he left?" Yang Ruifu looked at the army lieutenant colonel who rarely showed such emotions. He suppressed the anger in his heart and tried to speak as softly as possible.

It can also be regarded as indirectly easing the tension within the headquarters.

"Before leaving, the platoon leader told us that the Japanese army might come up with other crooked ideas because they could not take the city for a long time, such as sending spies to impersonate our superiors and convey wrong military orders to make our army collapse without fighting. He ordered us to be on guard and not to trust their identities. If necessary, we could kill them." The old soldier replied.

The lieutenant colonel and Yang Ruifu looked at each other and understood the deep meaning of Tang Dao's order.

Perhaps, something happened in the outside world that they did not know about, and Tang Dao, as an elite trained by that department, might have known some information in advance.

This is the so-called preconceived idea. It is normal to connect their guessed identity of Tang Dao with the incident of destroying the radio station and this seemingly normal but absolutely weird order.

"Okay, you two go back first. If Tang Dao comes back, let him report to the headquarters immediately!" Yang Ruifu waved his hand to drive away the captain company commander who was still confused and the old soldier who had been promoted to second lieutenant.

"Sir, what do you think?" Yang Ruifu looked at the lieutenant colonel whose face had returned to calm.

"Do what Tang Dao said first!" The lieutenant colonel sat down and slowly took out a cigarette. The light blue smoke covered his deep eyes, making it difficult to see the emotions in them. "Everything will be decided after he comes back."

It was strange that even though they knew that Tang Dao, as a saboteur, destroyed the most important external communication tool in the warehouse-the field radio, and left the warehouse alone, none of the two senior commanders thought that Tang Dao would leave.

No one thought that Tang Dao would not come back alive.

Even if he was lurking in the ruins of the battlefield full of dangers.

Now, it was daytime, not nighttime.

That was no longer just trust between colleagues, but comrades and brothers!

It took Tang Dao two days and three nights to completely integrate into this iron-blooded army and become one of them.
