"Your captain lives really well." Looking at the red painted door and the two stone lions at the door, Liu Shitou couldn't help showing his eyes full of envy. Living in such a place, it was such a beautiful life. He didn't say anything.
Tangcheng was also full of surprise. He had thought that this so-called garrison would be the size of a militia, but he never thought that their leader would actually live in such a place. He looked like an old rich man from the countryside.
"That's right, the leader of our group is Mr. Huang, who is famous around. His family has thousands of hectares of fertile land and a lot of money. Otherwise, how could Mr. Huang be the leader of the group? It's not all because his family is rich." Niu Laogui's
The answer made Liu Shitou suppress a smile, but Tang Cheng couldn't help but shake his head. Mr. Huang was afraid that he was going to lose money this time. The Mengcheng garrison and the 173rd Division could not stop the attack of more than 300 Japanese troops.
, such a bought leader might be defeated by the Japanese army in just one round.
"I heard that you guys came from Nanjing?" Not long after Niu Laogui went in to report, Tangcheng saw the so-called Captain Huang, who was wearing military trousers and riding boots and a flowered coat.
The blessed look on his face, but his extremely rich body made Captain Huang look very happy. Maybe it was because Tang Cheng was too young, and he also had a child like Liu Shitou, who was obviously underage.
, when Captain Huang, who was lying in the rocking chair, asked about Tang Cheng, his words seemed to be squeezed out of his nose.
"It's Mengcheng. After we left Nanjing, we were appointed by the Fifth War Zone to temporarily form a garrison in Mengcheng. Mengcheng was captured by the Japanese army just a few days ago." Tangcheng ignored Captain Huang and directly stretched out his hand.
He passed a chair and sat down facing Captain Huang. Seeing Tang Cheng being so arrogant in front of him, Captain Huang snorted and was about to get angry, but the red man who pinched his shoulders was
The woman in clothes was secretly stopped.
Tangcheng is not afraid of such a rich country man. Besides, he still has the military rank of the 88th Division. Even though his military rank is not as good as that of Captain Huang, he is a second lieutenant in the regular army, while Captain Huang is just a company commander.
The leader of the garrison who is not even considered third-rate. No matter which way you look at it, it is impossible for Tangcheng to bow to this yellow leader. If Liu Yangyang were here, he would have slapped this pretentious yellow leader long ago.
"You said you are from the 88th Division, but our garrison has no contact with your 88th Division? I wonder why you came to me?" Huang Tuanzuo's aura seemed quite strong, but everything was lost in this opening.
At the end of the day, anyone who can say this kind of thing sounds like a guy who doesn’t understand the military, and he doesn’t know whether it’s good or bad for such a person to spend money to get such a position as the head of the garrison. Maybe one day he will
Because if you say the wrong thing and offend someone, you might even hurt your family.
"I told you that we were passing by. All my brothers were injured. I wanted to go to the city to find a doctor to look at the injuries. Your people stopped me from entering the city, so I had to come to Huang Tuanzuo.
." Tang Cheng took out the pass. Huang Tuanzuo, who looked hesitant, seemed to be embarrassed and did not take the pass. However, the woman in red sitting behind him smiled and took the pass and looked at it carefully.
"Okay, I understand this. You can go to the city or find a doctor, but you can't stay in the county for too long." Perhaps out of fear that Tang Cheng would feel resentful after hearing Huang Tuanzuo's words, the woman in red answered.
Guo Huang Tuanzuo explained, "Captain Tang, don't blame me for what I just said. There are too many rioters coming to the county these days. Things like robbing food and not paying for food happen from time to time. Neighbors come every day these days."
Asking my husband to help me uphold justice has made my husband afraid to go out."
Tang Chengxin said, "Why do you, a woman, get in the way when a man talks? But this is their territory after all. At most, Tang Cheng thought so but couldn't say it directly. He smiled and nodded to the woman in red. Tang Cheng, who took back the pass, was about to leave.
Leave. "I heard Lao Gui just said that you have fought in Shanghai and Nanjing? How many people do you have outside the city?" Tang Cheng was about to stand up and leave, but was stopped by Captain Huang who stood up and sat up. Although he didn't know this country
What does the rich man mean? Tang Cheng still answered.
"We withdrew from Shanghai to Nanjing after being crippled by the Japanese army. When we were in Nanjing with the teaching corps to guard Guanghua Gate, there were less than 40 people. After the fall of Nanjing city, we only had 4 people when we went to Mengcheng. Now we don't count outside the city.
The two of us still have five people." What Tang Cheng said sounded like a bad debt to Commander Huang. He was a little confused when he heard it. It didn't mean that when Mengcheng was evacuated, only the remaining
Are there 4 people? Why did it become 7 people after fighting the Japanese army in Mengcheng?
"We stayed in Mengcheng because we were appointed by the Fifth War Zone to form a garrison regiment. Of the 800 people, only 7 of us were left. A regiment of the 173rd Division was also all folded in Mengcheng, including their deputy division commander Zhou Yuan.
"Perhaps he could see the confusion in Huang Tuanzuo's eyes, or maybe he didn't want to be underestimated by this Huang Tuanzuo. Tang Cheng reluctantly gave an overview of the war in Mengcheng. He only wanted to be an official.
The awe-inspiring Captain Huang knew the dangers of war, but when he heard from Tangcheng that the Mengcheng garrison's 800 men had been killed in three days, the normally carefree Captain Huang immediately became timid.
"What should we do? What should we do? They have wiped out all the 800 people in Mengcheng. I have less than 0 people here, and they were all wiped out in less than half a day." Huang Tuanzuo disappeared.
Although he was leisurely, he was completely panicked at this moment. Even the woman in red sitting behind him and squeezing his shoulders showed a look of panic on her face. On the frontal battlefield, the army was retreating steadily, even though the Fifth War Zone suffered heavy losses in Taierzhuang.
The Japanese army was defeated, but the losses of the Japanese troops were not small. If this were not the case, Huang Tuanzuo, who was just a rich man, would not be the leader of the garrison. But if things were like what Tang Cheng said, he would be the leader of the garrison.
The leader of this garrison was actually even more sinister.
Huang Tuanzuo is obviously not afraid of the Japanese army coming. Anyway, his family has a big car. If he can't, he can just run to Wuhan. His family has a house and shop in Wuhan. As long as Wuhan is not lost, his small life can continue.
.It's just that he, the newly acquired group leader, encountered something like this before he even sat down in Rehu. It would be difficult for anyone to accept it. That was the position of group leader that he got in exchange for 00 yuan. If he had known that this would happen, he wouldn't have spent the money in the first place.
That's a waste of money.
Seeing Huang Tuanzuo's troubled expression that he couldn't poop, Tang Cheng, who was about to say goodbye and leave, changed his mind. He and Jiu Jin were all injured. Anyway, the Japanese army wouldn't be able to attack here for a while.
It would be better to stay here for a while to take the opportunity to recover from the injury, so as to avoid the wound getting worse halfway through. Having made up his mind, Tang Cheng began to fool the panicked Huang Tuanzuo, "Captain Huang, I and I
My brothers all survived fighting with the Japanese army and almost died. Do you think this can be done? We want to stay here temporarily to recuperate and help you train your soldiers. As long as you take care of our food."
Huang Tuanzuo, who was broad and fat, had not expressed his position yet, but the woman in red who was sitting behind him spoke first and responded. As a result, Captain Huang could only agree to Tang Cheng's request to temporarily stay in the county to recuperate and help train the guards.
The matter of the regiment soldiers was not mentioned. "You are stupid, don't look at this Company Commander Tang. He looks young, but he has really fought in the war. Can the rabble under your command be compared? With them.
If such a person is in your garrison, the rebels in the county will not be able to avoid you."
"A woman's opinion." Huang Tuanzuo, who was dizzy from the woman in red's tirade, stood up and paced back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back, "Look at the age of those two boys, they are not even older than Zhou Tou."
The second son of the family is older. Could he have fought in Shanghai and Nanjing? Maybe he is a relative of a high-ranking official who has the rank of an officer. He points to such a person to help us. Maybe he will be the one in time.
If you invite thieves into your house, it will be too late to regret it later."
Seeing that the woman in red turned around and ignored him in anger, Huang Tuanzuo slowed down his tone and explained, "Let them stay and send people to follow them secretly to see if these people are as powerful as they said, and then
Ask the second son of the old Zhoutou family to find a few rebel soldiers in the city to test their strength. If they are really capable, leave them to help us train the new recruits of our garrison. If they are just bragging, I will
Just drive them out."
Coincidentally, Captain Huang and his wife were thinking about Tangcheng at home. Tangcheng, who was leaving, was also asking Niu Laogui about Captain Huang, but Niu Laogui only arrived here last month.
Soldier, he was not very clear about Commander Huang. "Company Commander, why do we have to stay here when we have a truck? Can't we go directly to Wuhan? Staying here will delay things." Liu Shitou didn't understand why Tang Cheng
He would take the initiative to advise Captain Huang to stay in the county. He always heard Tangcheng talk about the prosperity of the big city. Liu Shitou, who had never left Mengcheng within ten miles, couldn't wait to rush to Wuhan to see it.
"Everyone is injured. We need to stay and recuperate temporarily. The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the wounds are prone to inflammation and suppuration. It will be very troublesome then." Tang Cheng's own injury did not heal well. Although it was not a serious injury, it was
The pain from time to time made Tang Cheng very upset. "There are only seven of us left. If Heizi and the others don't share our hearts, there will only be three of us. Your Brother Jiujin and I are both injured. You can take care of us by yourself."
Two people?”
Liu Shitou was about to say that he could take good care of Tang Cheng and Jiujin, but when he thought about it carefully, he thought again. It was still a short distance from here to Wuhan. If he encountered any trouble along the way,
I really can't do it alone. "So I just tricked Captain Huang into leaving us here to recover from our injuries. After we recover from our injuries, even if Heizi and the others are separated from us, the three of us can still get to Wuhan."
Tang Cheng also had another intention but did not tell Liu Shitou. He planned to get some ammunition for domestic weapons from Commander Huang, especially the more shells the better. With the reputation of helping to train new recruits, the matter of getting ammunition would be easy.
