As expected, the contact between Ge Kunshan and Jin Dapeng became more and more frequent. Under Liu Yangyang's instruction, Liu Shitou led several soldiers from the logistics team to guard around the county government all day long. As long as Ge Kunshan left the county government, Liu Shitou and the others would
He followed Ge Kunshan until Ge Kunshan entered another place. On the contrary, Jin Dapeng was much more vigilant. He not only arranged light and dark sentries in the military camp, but also specially built a sentry tower in the military camp. Anyone who came within a hundred meters of the military camp
They can't escape the eyes of the fixed sentry on the watchtower.
As time entered May, the streets and alleys of Mengcheng began to permeate the tense atmosphere before the war. The source of this tense atmosphere came from the troops of the 2nd Regiment of the 173 Division who arrived in Mengcheng one after another. From the first day of May
From the beginning of the day, Jin Dapeng's 2nd Regiment of the 173rd Division began to move troops toward Mengcheng one after another. From the first company to the current two battalions, only two days passed.
As the number of troops in the 173rd Division continues to increase, Ge Kunshan's visits to the military camp are also increasing, and his stay has begun to become longer and longer. When he went to see Liu Yangyang in the past, he would stop talking as soon as he finished talking about the matter.
Leaving the military camp. "Is Zhou Yuan, the deputy commander of the 173rd Division, coming?" This news was enough to make Liu Yangyang lose his appetite while having dinner, but he had to continue asking Ge Kunshan, who was visiting, because Zhou Yuan's arrival would directly affect
The next arrangement of the garrison.
After Zhou Xiong recovered from his injuries after being taught a lesson in public, he did not come to trouble Tang Cheng or Liu Shitou. However, Liu Yangyang knew that Zhou Xiong would not give up. The arrival of Zhou Yuan would definitely make Zhou Xiong become arrogant again. For this Zhou Yuan
, Liu Yangyang really didn't understand it at all. The first time he heard Zhou Yuan's name was from Jin Dapeng's mouth, but since Zhou Yuan could get the rank of major general, he would definitely not be a simple person.
Ge Kunshan went to see Jin Dapeng almost every day. He also learned some news about Zhou Yuan from Jin Dapeng, but he would not tell Liu Yangyang the information he knew so easily. Liu Yangyang took
Ge Kunshan also knew about Lao Xu's visit to Li Linge's house. He knew that Lao Xu was in charge of the logistics of the garrison and took the people who were in charge of money and food to the Li's house. Liu Yangyang's visit to the Li's house was definitely not for personal matters.
, I have clearly expressed my differences with Li Linge in front of Liu Yangyang, but Liu Yangyang still wants to conspire with Li Linge, so I can't blame myself for not helping him.
From Ge Kunshan's vague words, Liu Yangyang guessed that he would not be able to get the information he wanted from Ge Kunshan today. Sure enough, Ge Kunshan seemed to be here just to make him sick. He just said that Zhou Yuan would be meeting in the near future.
He rushed to Mengcheng and then said goodbye and left. The lights in the garrison camp were brightly lit under the night. Liu Yangyang, who had seen off Ge Kunshan, called all the officers for a meeting in the barracks to discuss how to deal with the upcoming Zhou Yuan.
What Liu Yangyang was actually worried about was not Zhou Yuan, but that he had beaten Zhou Xiong. As long as he was the one who was responsible, even if Zhou Yuan wanted to get an explanation for Zhou Xiong, he would not have shot Tang Cheng, Liu Shitou and the others.
Liu Yangyang is worried about the Japanese army in the direction of Bengbu. Liu Yangyang is very worried that the Japanese army has not moved northward. The Japanese army will never give up after suffering a big loss in Xuzhou. Sooner or later, they will go north along Bengbu. The location of Mengcheng says
Good or bad, if the Japanese army intends to attack Mengcheng, the garrison regiment and a regiment of the 173rd Division alone will not be able to stop the Japanese attack. Liu Yangyang now needs to take precautions and make some arrangements in advance.
"Tangcheng's 1st company will go to Beishan to garrison from tomorrow, and Liang Dahu's 5th company will stay in the county seat. The other three companies will step up training according to daily schedule, and the troops guarding the checkpoints outside the city will be reduced from one company to one platoon at each checkpoint."
On the huge sand table, Liu Yangyang had placed many small flags representing the layout of the troops. The flag marked with the word "1 Company" had been moved by Liu Yangyang to the position in Beishan, which was once the home of the Beishan bandits.
"Why should I go to Beishan?" Tang Cheng was confused by Liu Yangyang's order. Except for the bomb craters, everything else in Beishan had already been bulldozed by the militia. The 1st Company went to Beishan to even sleep in thatched huts.
None, you must know that the 1st company now has 240 people. When Liu Yangyang issued the order, Liang Dahu and the others did not dare to raise objections. Only Tang Cheng was not afraid, so Liang Dahu and the other officers would all
They were pretending to be looking at the sand table, but they all raised their ears, waiting for Liu Yangyang's reaction.
He had already thought that Tang Cheng would have such a reaction, so Liu Yangyang looked at Tang Cheng with an expression on his face that he knew you would do this, "Mengcheng is no better than Nanjing. Once the Japanese army comes, they cannot be stopped by defending the city alone."
The Japanese army is attacking, so we also need to deploy mobile troops outside the city. If the Japanese army attacks the county town, the 1st company stationed in Beishan will be responsible for sneak attacks on the Japanese army's retreat. It is best to destroy their baggage troops or force the besieging Japanese army to divide their troops.
.”
Liu Yangyang's remarks are quite reasonable. Among the five companies of the garrison, only the 1st company in Tangcheng has the most veterans and the strongest, and the 1st company has been suppressing bandits everywhere in the past few days. It can be said that those guys have seen it.
Compared with the other four companies, the 1st company's combat effectiveness is obviously the strongest. After listening to Liu Yangyang's explanation, Tang Cheng, who wanted to say something else, could only curl his lips and stop talking, but after seeing
The look in his eyes clearly showed that he was still a little unhappy with Liu Yangyang's arrangements for the 1st Company.
"For your remaining four companies, I want each of your companies to allocate some ammunition to support the 1st company. Once the Japanese army comes to attack, they will have no way to obtain ammunition supplies from Beishan." Although he was somewhat reluctant, Liang Dahu said
The four company commanders still nodded. Only Lao Xu secretly winked at Tang Cheng, indicating that Tang Cheng did not need to worry about ammunition. Obviously Liu Yangyang's order was not just for Tang Cheng's 1st company.
Following Lao Xu's eyes and scanning the faces of the other company commanders, Tang Cheng somewhat understood the reason for Liu Yangyang's order. Among the five companies of the garrison, one of the company commanders was from Ge Kunshan.
Liu Yangyang asked other companies to support and provide ammunition to Tangcheng, just to prevent that company from defecting to Zhou Yuan with weapons and ammunition. Liu Yangyang also knew that the company commander would inform Ge Kunshan about this, and he also wanted to use this
Dao ordered to give Ge Kunshan a warning.
The meeting convened by Liu Yangyang late at night only lasted a short time and ended hastily. Among the five companies of the garrison, only Tangcheng's No. 1 company received specific orders. The other companies were still preparing around the county seat. It was incredible.
The interpreter Tang Cheng stayed after the meeting. He wanted to know why his 1st company was transferred to Beishan. He didn't believe Liu Yangyang's lie that he wanted the 1st company to seize the Japanese army's retreat.
The company formed wanted to take the Japanese army's retreat, which was simply wishful thinking.
"The purpose of transferring your 1st Company out of the county is not only to leave a way out for the garrison, but also to guard against Zhou Yuan. Most of your 1st Company are veterans who have fought in the war. If Zhou Yuan is not a
If you want to save worry, he will definitely take advantage of our garrison. Instead of waiting for him to take away all the people in our hands who can fight, it is better to send you and the 1st Company out first." There was only one person left in the command post.
Liu Yangang and Tang Cheng were separated, and Liu Yangyang finally told the truth. He was just worried about Zhou Yuan.
"But Jin Dapeng has also been to Beishan, and he should have seen the terrain of Beishan. If Zhou Yuan must deal with us, the 1st Company cannot hide in Beishan, so why not let the 1st Company stay in the city as well.
"Tangcheng has also seen Jin Dapeng's soldiers training in the past few days. Although their training is not as intense as the training of the garrison, those guys have basically seen the real battlefield. Except for the veterans of the 1st company in the garrison,
After fighting a real battle, the other soldiers were all civilians who had only received a few months of training. Without the garrison regiment of the 1st company, they might not be able to stop even one of Zhou Yuan's companies.
"You don't have to say anything anymore. Just do as I tell you to go to Beishan. The Japanese army will come as soon as they say it. Now is not the time to delay." Although Liu Yangyang knew that Tang Cheng wanted the 1st company to stay in the city because he was worried about himself.
, but the order will never be changed once it is issued. No matter whether Tang Cheng is willing or not, 1st Company has decided to go to Beishan. Ever since the night battle outside Guanghua Gate, Liu Yangyang has regarded Tang Cheng as his successor.
If the Japanese army becomes stronger this time, Mengcheng will definitely not be able to defend it. In order to leave a spark of fire for the Second Company, Tangcheng must leave and cannot stay in the city.
"Most of the people in your company are veterans, and the platoon leaders assigned to you are all good. Although they are not as good as the people in our original second company, they are still better than ordinary guys. You can't be too stingy in front of them, otherwise
You can't control them." Tang Cheng knew that the stinginess Liu Yang Yang mentioned was not that stinginess. The stinginess Liu Yang Yang mentioned was his attitude and decisiveness towards things and people. Liu Yang Yang is not worried about Tang Cheng's ability to fight now. He
I'm just worried that Tang Cheng still has some shortcomings in dealing with people, because Tang Cheng's age is a flaw.
"Do you still remember the tunnels dug by the bandits in Beishan? You led the 1st company into Beishan, immediately dug the tunnels, and prepared a few more exits. If Mengcheng cannot be defended, we will have someone to hide in.
and a place to escape, I can only rest assured if I leave this matter to you." Liu Yangyang tried his best to deceive Tang Cheng, but the latter really believed Liu Yangyang's words.
Liu Yangyang and Tang Cheng chatted for a long time, but no one knew what they said. Liu Shitou and his men surrounded the command post, and no one could get close to the command post. The next day, Zhou Yuan led his troops and rushed
When they arrived in Mengcheng, Tang Cheng and his 1st company had already appeared in Beishan, accompanied by Jiujin who was ordered to guard the Beishan pass.
