Chapter 4: Letter of Allegiance

"Oh?" The lieutenant colonel seemed to have known Tang Dao's answer long ago and didn't find it strange at all.

"Can you tell me the reason?"

"First, the Japanese army has occupied Songhu. If we leave here, no matter which direction we go, there are countless Japanese invaders. Even if Zhao Zilong of Changshan is resurrected, he can't do anything. Staying here is the only way to survive." Tang Dao stretched out a finger.

He stretched out another finger: "Second, if I take the guns and ammunition and leave, I don't have to worry about the large number of Japanese invaders. The accurate shooters you deployed on the roof of the Sihang Warehouse are not for show."

The lieutenant colonel narrowed his eyes slightly, and a cold light appeared under his eyelids.

Obviously, the second reason Tang Dao said was not his imagination for no reason, but something that was almost certain to happen.

This decisive commander was not a person who killed indiscriminately, but he would never have any mercy on a soldier who fled in battle.

This was just a test.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little tense, and the soldiers behind Tang Dao couldn't help but tighten their guns, especially the old soldier who sent Tang Dao over. Cold sweat began to ooze out of his vest. He knew the danger of Tang Dao the best.

"Haha! You are worthy of being a soldier of the 26th Division!" The lieutenant colonel of the army suddenly chuckled. "Yes, whether you are a deserter or not, as long as you leave here, you may leak secrets. No one can endanger our combat operation this time."

The dim light was reflected in the cold eyes of the lieutenant colonel of the army, like two jumping flames, "Very good, just because you dare to tell the truth, I will give you a chance to prove yourself, and then stay with my 524th Regiment to fight the Japanese invaders. I will report to the division headquarters and add your name, so that you will not die and bear the stigma of deserter."

"Thank you, sir!" Tang Dao stood at attention and saluted.

Then, he turned around and walked out. When he passed by the corporal with beads of sweat on his face, Tang Dao stretched out his hand: "Brother, lend me your weapon!"

The corporal looked back at the lieutenant colonel behind him, and after receiving a slight nod from him, he handed the Zhongzheng rifle he was carrying to Tang Dao.

The early model of the famous Zhongzheng rifle was imitated from the famous German 1924 Mauser rifle, and is also the most mature rifle in China's current self-made rifle production line.

The gun without a bayonet is 1.11 meters long, which is not at a disadvantage in hand-to-hand combat. The bayonet is 0.57 meters long, with a five-round built-in magazine, using 7.92 mm caliber bullets, an effective range of 1,000 meters, a rate of fire of 15 rounds/minute, and a V-shaped notch rear sight. It is the standard individual firearm of the German-equipped division. Its performance is not only the strongest among the current Chinese army, but also slightly inferior to the Type 38 rifle currently equipped by the Japanese army.

Although it was an old gun that had long been eliminated decades later, it was not unfamiliar to Tang Dao, who was very fond of studying various types of guns. He even used an even older Hanyang-made gun at a 200-meter moving target at the shooting range and scored an amazing score of 98 rings in ten shots.

He pulled the bolt very skillfully, checked the maintenance and loading of the gun, took the two five-round magazines handed over by the corporal and stuffed them into his pocket, and strode out of the Sihang Warehouse with the gun.

The so-called proof is nothing more than a pledge of allegiance.

From one kilometer or even farther away, there were scattered gunshots from time to time. They were the scattered soldiers who had no time to withdraw and the small Japanese troops who were still cleaning the battlefield and searching for the remaining enemies overnight.

The meaning of the lieutenant colonel of the army was very clear. The Imperial Guards could accept new blood, but would never accept useless soldiers. Tang Dao wanted to prove himself and wanted to join them for the last chance of survival, so he had to hunt the Japanese in the ruins. If he could kill one or two and get out of it, he would be qualified.

Those who can kill the Japanese pirates are heroes. The proof in the army is so simple. It is not something that can be done by Tang Dao's passionate speech.

Anyone who has read a few days of books can talk, but to fight the Japanese invaders, you need real skills.

Looking at Tang Dao who has walked out of the warehouse door, the corporal hesitated for a moment, took off the two grenades on his waist and chased after him, handing over his German steel helmet together: "The devils are fierce, Sichuan Army brothers, you should be careful."

Looking at the helmet and grenade in the corporal's hand, and then looking at the corporal's honest and sincere face, Tang Dao grinned slightly, revealing a healthy white tooth, and patted the corporal on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I'm here, and the Japanese should be careful."

The officers and soldiers who followed him out were almost amused by Tang Dao's full of style.

As one of the best-equipped and most combat-effective German-equipped divisions among the 700,000 Chinese troops in the Battle of Shanghai, the 88th Division has been on the front line. Its own supplementary regiment had been exhausted long ago, and it received three waves of supplementary troops from the local miscellaneous troops. The bloody battle lasted a long time, and it was definitely at the forefront of the 700,000 troops.

Speaking of the understanding of the Japanese army's combat effectiveness, they said they were third, and basically no unit dared to be the first or second.

The Japanese army not only had heavy firepower far exceeding that of the Chinese army because of the heavy artillery regiments of the army, the large-caliber naval guns of the navy, and a large number of fighter planes, but their infantry was also well-equipped and had extremely strong tactical qualities.

Whether it was individual tactical qualities or squadron-level offensive and defensive tactics, they were above most Chinese troops, and the division-level troops that could rival them. The 700,000 Chinese troops gathered on hundreds of square kilometers of land in Shanghai were the essence of the millions of Chinese troops, but they could not be picked out on five fingers.

The 88th Division was one of these few troops. It fought with the Japanese invaders for three months and suffered heavy losses. At the same time, it made the Japanese soldiers cry for their fathers and mothers. They had great military exploits, but even from the rank of lieutenant general to division commander and down to the rank of private, there was nothing. No one dares to look down upon the Japanese invaders.

Who knew this kid would dare to make such outrageous remarks?

Even the Army Lieutenant Colonel looked a little disappointed at this time.

Tang Dao looks good and is from the 26th Division who became famous in one battle. In addition, he was so impassioned just now, it is difficult not to leave a deep impression on others.

If this were not the case, if the army lieutenant colonel who was born in Huangpu had any intention of giving him a chance to prove at this moment, he would just shoot him.

Then, Tang Dao turned his head and said loudly to the Army Lieutenant Colonel standing at the door of the warehouse: "Sir, at this time, you are not worried that the Japanese invaders know that you and your department are here! Can you let the brothers Light up a torch for me?"

The Army Lieutenant Colonel's eyes narrowed slightly, but he subconsciously nodded slightly and waved his hand to signal the surrounding soldiers who had entered the fortifications to light their torches.

Dozens of torches were lit, illuminating the open space in front of the Sihang Warehouse.

In the firelight, the somewhat puzzled faces of the armed officers and soldiers were reflected.

No one knows what Tang Dao wants to do.

Including an army lieutenant colonel standing upright.

Tang Dao picked up a fist-sized stone from the ground and said to the superior soldier: "Keep your eyes open and see clearly. I will only demonstrate once!"

A stone the size of a fist was thrown up by Tang Dao.

Under the moonlight, the stone that was thrown into the sky was almost invisible. It was just thrown so casually, at least thirty meters high, showing the terrifying power contained in Tang Dao's body.

However, no matter how strong a person is, it is useless in front of bullets!

Perhaps only a few people can understand what he wants to do.

He should be able to shoot with a gun and perform point-shooting skills with terrifying accuracy.

A stone falling from a high altitude will fall to the ground in just a few seconds due to the acceleration of gravity. Hitting it during this process is no less difficult than climbing to the sky.

However, whether you understand it or not, it is wrong.

The single-soldier king who came from 90 years later is even more powerful than you can imagine in this era.
