"You said the Japanese are coming?" Huang Hanju was stunned by what Tang Cheng said. Although he knew that it was strange for Tang Cheng to pull him out for a private chat at this time, he did not expect that Tang Cheng would reveal such a thing to him.
Earth-shattering news. "Brother, you can't joke about this. Didn't you look at me, brother? I was a little confused just now, and you just wanted to tell a joke to make me laugh." Huang Hanju looked at the smiling face with a smile in his eyes.
Tang Cheng was so nervous that he had already concluded that what he just said was a joke from Tang Cheng.
"Brother Huang, don't you think it's too weird for Sun Liansheng to throw dirty water on the Huang family? He is not a fool. Don't you know the reputation of your Huang family in Macheng? He must have someone from above if he dares to do this.
Instructed, I guess someone is interested in your position as the leader, and they want to force you to give up the garrison." Tang Cheng has become more and more sure of his own judgment, and there is absolutely nothing behind this matter.
It was what he expected at first.
Tang Cheng's question made Huang Hanju, who had calmed down, subconsciously turn around and look at Sun Liansheng. At this time, Sun Liansheng was sneering in response to the shouts of Huang San and others. Seeing Sun Liansheng's face, Huang Hanju couldn't help but shudder in his heart. Sun Liansheng
After all, he is a member of the 71st Army, and there is an uncle with real power behind him. Why did he choose his position as the leader of the garrison. "Brother Huang, please be patient and listen to what Sun Liansheng said first."
, let’s make plans again.” Tang Cheng stopped Huang Hanju who was about to turn around and go back.
Not only Huang Hanju, but even Tang Cheng, who had almost guessed the answer, was also puzzled as to why Sun Liansheng, a regular official, wanted to target the Macheng garrison. After dispersing the crowd that gathered around him, Huang Hanju asked Sun Liansheng again if he wanted to.
If you want to eliminate the slander of the Huang family, Sun Liansheng's answer must be said in public, otherwise someone will still make a fuss about this matter in the future. "Lianchang Sun, since the matter is already like this, you might as well just tell the matter in front of so many people."
Make it clear that the Huang family’s century-old reputation in Mengcheng is not for you to play with.”
Huang Hanju personally untied the rope that tied Sun Liansheng, and also picked up the military cap knocked off by Huang San and put it on for Sun Liansheng. In front of these Macheng elders, Huang Hanju showed his generosity. He pressed Huang Hanju
Of course, his temperament would not be like this, and with Tang Cheng's persuasion and persuasion, Huang Hanju now showed the usual magnanimity of the Huang family. At least in front of those Macheng squires, Huang Hanju had already taken the initiative.
Sun Liansheng said that the only reason why the Huang family collaborated with the enemy was the Japanese mortar. In his explanation to Zhou Peilin, he thought how could a person who had not had any contact with the Japanese army have a Japanese mortar, unless that
The Japanese mortar was used by the Japanese army to bribe him. Sun Liansheng believed that the mortar was evidence that Huang Hanju collaborated with the enemy. "Captain Sun, maybe you don't know that the mortar in the garrison originally belonged to me, and the Second Company still owns it."
During the recovery stage, I had too few people and no gunners, so I exchanged the mortars to the garrison." Sun Liansheng's reason made Tang Cheng dumbfounded, it was really unbelievable.
"That's it, just like that, you're going to say that the Huang family is a collaborator?" Tangcheng was not the only one who couldn't believe it. Huang Hanju stared at Sun Liansheng with his eyes widened, "I know you have a backer, but this is Macheng, not your surname Sun."
The one who can control the sky with one hand has the final say. In front of all Macheng elders, you tell me everything clearly, otherwise I, Huang Hanju, will not accept the gun in my hand." Huang Hanju pulled out a gun from the holster on Tangcheng's waist.
Although the action of opening the hammer of the shell gun seemed a bit awkward, he still completed the action of loading the bullet and put the muzzle of the gun on Sun Liansheng's head.
Sun Liansheng, who is broad and strong, looks good, but in fact he is a tough guy. He got the position of company commander in the 71st Army through his uncle's relationship, but he is a novice who has never been on the battlefield. He accuses the Huang family of collaborating with the enemy.
Due to his uncle's instructions, the 71st Army is about to go to Macheng. If Sun Liansheng can get the position of commander of the Macheng garrison before then, relying on his uncle's operation, maybe Sun Liansheng's title of company commander can be upgraded to one level.
battalion commander.
The 71st Army was transferred to Macheng to fight the incoming Japanese army. If Sun Lian, who was promoted to battalion commander, could make some achievements in the battle against the Japanese army, maybe he, the battalion commander, could become the regiment commander after the war. Like this
The advanced steps are not intended to be the preferred routine for those with a background to advance. Among Sun Liansheng's friends, many people have already used this routine to become school officials. Sun Liansheng is just picking up the familiar steps used by others, but he doesn't want to
The Huang family is quite prestigious in Macheng, so his method will not work against Huang Hanju at all.
These things cannot be said, but facing Huang Hanju with red eyes, Sun Liansheng has no choice. If he doesn't say it, maybe Huang Hanju will really shoot. "You bastard, just to get my position as the leader of the garrison."
, are you deliberately slandering me, the Huang family, as a collaborator?" Huang Hanju broke away from Tang Cheng's arm, and hit Sun Liansheng hard in the face with the handle of his gun.
The blood stains on his face were just begging for mercy from the furious Huang Hanju.
The county magistrate is not as good as the current one. Although Sun Liansheng's uncle has some power, this is Macheng, and his uncle is still in Wuhan. No matter how powerful he is, there is no time to save him. Therefore, if a good man does not suffer the immediate loss, Sun Liansheng has no choice but to beg Huang Hanju for mercy.
"Brother Huang, forget it." Tang Cheng once again stretched out his hand to stop the furious Huang Hanju. Huang Hanju was the reasonable party. He could beat Sun Liansheng, but he couldn't kill him, otherwise it would bring trouble to the Huang family. After all, Sun Liansheng
He is still the captain and company commander of the 71st Army.
"Go away, take your people and get out of Macheng. We will report this matter to the commander of the Second Army. Whether you can escape this disaster depends on your luck." Tang Cheng made up his mind for Huang Hanju,
Sun Liansheng was allowed to leave with his men, but Tang Cheng signaled Huang San to withhold a lot of the bullets and grenades from Sun Liansheng's soldiers. If Tang Cheng hadn't wanted to make the matter a big deal, maybe Huang San would have also withheld two of Sun Liansheng's bullets and grenades.
A machine gun.
"Forget it, Brother Huang, now that the matter has been clarified, it is better to reconcile enemies than to make enemies. It is better to have one more friend than one more enemy. It is better to be angry with such a person." Sun Liansheng was driven out of Macheng, but the danger was not lifted.
The news about the regiment was too limited, and there was no news about the movements of the Japanese army at all. If Tang Cheng's inference was correct, then the coming big trouble would easily crush Tang Cheng and the others.
"What else can we do? Our Huang family has lived in Macheng for more than 20 years. The Huang family is familiar with every plant and tree here. We can't hear that the Japs are coming. I, the leader of the Macheng garrison, should just hide.
" Sitting down with Tang Cheng in the command post again, the restless Huang Hanju took off the soft military cap on his head and threw it on the table in front of him. Leading troops to fight is indeed not what Huang Hanju is good at, but if he is allowed to lead the army before the Japanese army appears,
With his family fleeing Macheng, he was very unwilling because the Huang family's foundation was all here in Macheng.
"Brother Huang, things are dead and people are alive. You have never fought with the Japanese, so you don't know how powerful they are. Even a squadron of the Japanese army like the Macheng garrison cannot stop it, let alone an overwhelming Japanese army.
attack." Tang Cheng took out a cigarette and handed one to Huang Hanju, "At least you have to send your family to a safe place before the Japanese army appears. If the war starts, there will be no extra time to take care of them." Tang Cheng
What he said hit Huang Hanju's weak spot. His family has always been his Achilles' heel.
The two sat in the command post of the military camp for a whole afternoon. It was Tang Cheng who was trying to persuade Huang Hanju, but the latter just smoked and did not express his position. He only said that he would think about it after he went back. "I'll go to Huang San's and ask for it later."
Some bullets and grenades, we have to be ready to leave at any time, maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow." Tang Cheng, who walked out of the command post, called Liu Shitou aside and whispered a few words. Based on the principle of the more, the better.
Tang Cheng prepared to stock up on enough ammunition before leaving.
"Let's go, let's go with the whole family. We'll go to Wuhan first to settle your matter, and then we'll go to Chongqing." Huang Hanju could be cool with Sun Liansheng, but Mrs. Huang couldn't do it. She just thought about it after pouring dirty water on the Huang family's face.
It was not feasible to leave here with Mrs. Huang. When Huang Hanju came home and talked about what happened during the day, Mrs. Huang's first thought was to go to Wuhan to find connections to deal with this Sun Liansheng. Even if he couldn't break his muscles and bones, at least he would have to let him go.
Arrogant guy peels off his skin.
"No, it's not possible. Company Commander Tang has fought with the Japanese. He has already said that your garrison is no match for the Japanese. So what can you do if you stay in Macheng? Don't forget that our whole family depends on you.
Take care of me, do you want me, a woman, to leave with a family of dozens of people, and then leave you here alone?" Mrs. Huang became more and more anxious as she spoke, until the moisture in her eyes turned into tears and she persisted.
Huang Hanju, who was willing to leave, finally nodded.
The Huang family and the Cyclamen are both packing their bags. The only difference is that it is very troublesome to pack up the Huang family's big business, while the Tangcheng side only needs two carriages to prepare everything. "Sir, it's not good, that
Sun Liansheng is back again, and he is calling outside the city gate right now." At dawn, Huang San, who was guarding the city gate, woke up Huang Hanju and his wife from their sleep. The Huangs, who had been busy all night, did not expect that Sun Liansheng would come.
They returned, but they knew that the person who came was evil. Since Sun Liansheng dared to come back, he must have his support.
"Tang, you've done something wrong. Come with me." Before the people sent by Huang Hanju could reach Xianke Lai, Sun Liansheng, who asked to open the city gate, had already led a large number of his men to block Xian Ke Lai.
He came through the front and rear doors. Sun Liansheng on horseback looked down and proudly at Tang Cheng who was being pushed out by his soldiers, "You said you were from the 1st Battalion and 2nd Company of the 524th Regiment of the 88th Division, but the 1st Battalion of the 524th Regiment had already been here
After the battle at Sihang Warehouse last year, you were imprisoned in the Shanghai Concession. I am very curious about who you are."
