Chapter 76 Rewards and Punishments

Tang Dao's pure reason made the lieutenant colonel hesitate for the first time.

He was very annoyed by Tang Dao's behavior of walking out of the warehouse without asking for permission, as he attached great importance to military regulations.

Although there was no military order not to counterattack and leave the warehouse, Tang Dao's behavior was not considered a violation of orders, but Tang Dao's behavior almost made him lose one of his best grassroots officers.

Compared with this, even if it could hit the morale of the Japanese army to the bottom of the pit, the lieutenant colonel of the army did not want to take this risk.

But Tang Dao's move raised the morale of the warehouse to the peak.

Yes! When you know that even if you die, the living will not hesitate to take the heads of the devils as offerings in front of your grave, I am afraid that the fear of death will be reduced a lot!

In this way, a group of people who are not afraid of death will naturally be more able to fulfill their promise to the theater headquarters in the telegram to defend for seven days and seven nights.

Finally, the lieutenant colonel of the army pondered for a while, and still went downstairs to announce the rewards and punishments for Tang Dao.

Tang Dao killed three Japanese invaders alone, greatly improving the morale of the warehouse defenders and destroying the Japanese invaders' prestige. After he discussed with the battalion commander Yang Ruifu and reported to the division headquarters for approval, Tang Dao was promoted to lieutenant.

However, Tang Dao went out of the warehouse to fight without the approval of the superiors, and he should be punished. All his military merits converted into silver in today's battle will be confiscated and belong to the whole battalion.

Tang Dao didn't care. Anyway, he came to this world alone. It didn't matter to him whether there was silver or not. The family of this body was not rich but it was still okay, and he didn't need to earn money to support his family.

Only the soldiers in the third row suffered a little. Not counting the three Japanese soldiers killed by Tang Dao himself, the more than 200 Japanese soldiers in and outside the warehouse today should be counted as ten heads for Tang Dao, the commander of the first floor, which means dozens of silver dollars flew away.

Fortunately, the lieutenant colonel of the army didn't let them suffer for a long time. He simply announced the reward telegram just sent by the division headquarters on the spot.

Each soldier who died in the battle was given 30 yuan for resettlement, each wounded was given 10 yuan, and each of the rest was given 5 yuan after calculating their military merits, as a special allowance for winning today's battle.

This was definitely a big deal, and the warehouse was filled with cheers.

The warehouse defenders didn't know that this time they took out several thousand yuan as a reward, which was not something that the 88th Division, which was retreating in a panic, could do, but was personally ordered by a big shot in the Ministry of Military Affairs.

This may also be the most efficient time for the current government, and the results are so brilliant that it is unbelievable.

"Hundreds" of Japanese invaders were lying dead, and three tanks were destroyed. Although such a record was not the first time on the Songhu battlefield, it was definitely the first time that a battalion had achieved such a record.

Of course, the lieutenant colonel of the army had not even finished counting the results and reported them to the upper level, but the spies of a certain organization in the concession reported what they saw directly to the top through special channels, and even the 88th Division, which was still retreating, didn't know what was going on.

After hearing this, a certain big shot touched his head excitedly and walked around the lounge for several rounds and said, "The military and the people can be used", which defined the continuous battles from dawn to afternoon on the 27th.

"You want the horse to run but you don't want it to eat grass!" How is that possible? It would be strange if the officials who knew the intentions of the superiors didn't come up with high efficiency.

After the reward was announced, the rest was naturally to clean up the battlefield.

Wakiban Jiro was probably desperate at this time. After the heavy machine guns fired for five or six minutes, he even launched a round of artillery fire, completely cutting off the life of the Japanese wounded outside the warehouse.

This cruelty actually made Tang Dao a little regretful. He wanted to kill those Japanese wounded who were not seriously injured and could be rescued after bandaging, but he hoped that those seriously injured Japanese soldiers who were only half a breath away could be dragged back.

If you can add more burden to the Japanese logistics, add more! A pile of sand makes a tower, right?

Who knew that the Japanese commander was so cruel, he killed all of them without leaving any alive.

When the Japanese retaliatory bombardment was over, the outside of the warehouse was already red, white, and black, which made people sick. Lei Xiong, this cruel man, was not disgusted enough, and he even hung the bodies of nearly 90 Japanese soldiers killed in the warehouse outside the warehouse as salted fish.

However, the lieutenant colonel of the army was a rational brain. After thinking about it, he rejected this proposal.

The Japanese army was already extremely cruel. If they were stimulated in this way, after all, they were now occupying Chinese territory. If they were stimulated to go crazy and caught Chinese people for revenge, it would be a loss.

Moreover, the opposite side was the Western Concession. It was normal for the two countries to fight and die on the battlefield, but hanging the bodies of the Japanese invaders outside the wall would give those Western countries who claimed to be democratic and civilized an excuse, and it was also inconsistent with the strategy of the top leaders.

Therefore, the Japanese bodies were carried out of the building by the soldiers and thrown outside the trenches. Together with the incomplete bodies between the trenches and the warehouses, a rough count showed that there were more than a hundred people.

The lieutenant colonel of the army had actually considered everything very carefully, but Tang Dao, the little butterfly from the future, knew it best. He overestimated the humanity of the short-legged people.

The fierceness in the bones of the Japanese invaders had actually been ignited in the bloody battle of Songhu in March. The war losses of up to 15% made the Japanese invaders turn into beasts.

In Songhu, most of the surviving Chinese people hid in the concessions, and the Japanese army had no way to retaliate. However, from Songhu to Suzhou and Hangzhou, Jiading and even Nanjing, I don’t know how many innocent lives will become the targets of their revenge.

And the so-called democratic and civilized Western countries did not show the responsibility of a "civilized" country in the face of such a brutal massacre.

The reason is very simple. China is just a piece of cake for them. As long as the cake is still there, what does the life and death of the people in it have to do with them?

Tang Dao knew very well that he might be able to kill a few more Japanese soldiers here, but he, a little butterfly from the future, could not change the stubborn ruts of history. The door to another terrible disaster for the Chinese nation has been opened by the devil.

If Tang Dao was the supreme commander, he would definitely hang all the bodies of these Japanese soldiers and even the Japanese soldiers killed in the next few days on the warehouse. To deal with the devil, there is no need for a bodhisattva heart, but to be more devilish than the devil.

But reason made Tang Dao choose to remain silent in the end, because now all that has not happened, and the choice of the lieutenant colonel of the army is the most correct at present.

Unlike the last time when the Japanese army took the initiative to come to collect the bodies, the defending army deliberately used a tin loudspeaker to shout for them to come to collect the bodies, mainly because the meat was baked by artillery fire. The aroma was so strong that the soldiers could hardly eat the roasted potatoes.

Even though Wakiita Jiro was furious and wanted to stink you to death, the defenders shouted loudly in Japanese through the loudspeaker, and the foreigners were watching. The dignity of the Great Japanese Empire had to be maintained, so they had to send two unarmed infantry squads of nearly 100 people to carry the bodies from the three sides of the building according to the request of the Chinese defenders.

But no one knew that in the corpse collection team, a Japanese sergeant with a sergeant's collar badge was commanding the soldiers to carry the bodies of his own soldiers while secretly looking at the Sihang Warehouse more than 20 meters away.

If you know this Japanese sergeant, you will know that the Japanese army still played some tricks after all. The rank of the Japanese sergeant half an hour ago was a major in the Japanese army.
