Ma Tou, who was already the squad leader, led a dozen of his soldiers back to the county town along the mountain road under the bright sun. Daily searches around the county town were Tangcheng's new orders. Almost more than half of the troops in the second company were captured.
Tangcheng was placed outside the city, and Ma Tou's squad was just another search force. With the help of civilian husbands, Tangcheng dug trenches much faster, but he also knew that he could withstand the Japanese army just by relying on the trenches.
An attack was somewhat unlikely, so he deployed soldiers to conduct a non-stop search around the county.
Being able to discover the traces of the Japanese army in advance won the Second Company not only time, but also the opportunity for the Second Company to attack the Japanese army. The 88th Division's message deduced that the size of the Japanese army was at the squadron level, but Tang Cheng did not dare to be careless.
Already prepared to face the Japanese army's brigade-level attack. Experience tells Tangcheng not to have any illusions about the war. Regardless of whether the incoming Japanese army is a squadron or a brigade, Macheng is bound to usher in a bloody battle. Do everything necessary.
Be prepared, it will definitely not be in vain.
The troops assigned to Tangcheng by the 88th Division were to defend Macheng until reinforcements arrived. However, almost all the troops of the 71st Army were concentrated on the front line of Fujin Mountain. Now it is impossible to mobilize troops to support Macheng. As far as the current situation is concerned, Tangcheng can
They only relied on themselves, the Second Company and the Macheng garrison in the hands of Sun Liansheng. The Second Company in Tangcheng only had 140 people, and Sun Liansheng not only had a 500-man Macheng garrison, he also brought it from the 71st Military Area.
A full infantry company was formed, which was all the existing strength in Macheng.
"Squad leader, is our little company commander really that powerful? You're bragging, right? I don't believe how capable a half-year-old boy can be." Yu Shuigen was talking to Ma Tou, who was walking at the end of the team.
It was when squad leader Ma Tou said how powerful Tangcheng was that Yu Shuigen's ears became calluses. Yu Shuigen was one of the first batch of rebel soldiers to enter Macheng. Yu Shui, who was originally a young man who was captured and became a soldier, was basically a
Kuhaha has been in the army for half a year. The former Kuhaha has now become a smooth-talking soldier. However, he is somewhat convinced by a boss like Ma Tou, but he does not believe that there is a Ma Tou in Tangcheng.
So powerful.
Ma Tou glanced sideways at Yu Shuigen, and casually laughed and cursed, "You are just saying this in front of me. Don't go around asking around. Our company commander looks young, but he is also a veteran. He is a fighter."
Passing Shanghai and Nanjing." Ma Tou was not able to lower his voice like Yu Shui Gen. In addition, his voice was already loud, which caused the guys walking in front to turn around. Everyone was waiting for Ma Tou to come down.
Go on.
"Since you all want to hear it, let me tell you. I happen to be tired from walking, so I will find a place to sit down and smoke a cigarette before I leave." Yu Shuigen was very stubborn and cleared a hole on the ground for Ma Tou.
Where he was sitting, the clever guy next to him had already lit a match for Ma Tou to light a cigarette. Exhaling a puff of smoke, Ma Tou looked around at the crowd pretending to be profound, and then continued, "Our little company commander.
He was originally a foreign student from Shanghai. Before joining the second company, he followed a Japanese army and fought against the Japanese army. The entire company of that Japanese army was killed by the Japanese army, and only our company commander survived."
"Later, after our company commander recovered from his injuries in the hospital, he followed the old company commander Liu Yangyang and was ordered to retreat to the Suzhou area for temporary rest. Then Shanghai fell, and the company commander followed the old company commander to Nanjing to garrison Guanghua Gate. Nanjing knows, right?
, there were so many people dead in the city of Nanjing, and only three people of the second company were beaten. When the city was broken, the three of them, the junior company commander, put up wooden rafts and crossed the river all the way to Mengcheng.
In Mengcheng, the young company commander was appointed as a second lieutenant officer in the Fifth War Zone."
"My dear, this man's life is really big. Even the city of Nanjing didn't trap him." A guy who had never fought in the Battle of Nanjing opened his mouth. There were almost all the troops in the army who could be ranked.
I participated in the Battle of Nanjing and heard that after that battle, many Japanese troops were reduced to nothing. Tang Cheng was able to break out of Nanjing at such a young age, which shows that this young company commander is indeed extraordinary.
"Shit, I'm not good at fighting, but when it comes to escaping, I don't think there are many people who are better than me." Yu Shuigen vigorously patted his chest, "I think our little company commander might just be a good guy.
To escape for his life, so many *** brothers were thrown into the city of Nanjing, and he was the only one who escaped. Maybe he had already escaped from the city when the Japanese army attacked the city."
"Pa!" Yu Shuigen's words made Ma Tou angry. He raised his foot and kicked Yu Shuigen who was about to sit down, "Yu Shuigen, you fucking want to die, Company Commander Tang, those
The battle achievements are all real. When the 88th Division came last time, they had been carefully checked. It doesn't matter if you like to fart randomly, but don't say it in front of me. You don't want to die even if you want to.
Pull us along."
Ma Tou's rage came so suddenly that Yu Shuigen and the dozen or so others did not expect such a situation to occur. "Squad leader, I just said that, look how angry you are, oops,
My butt." Yu Shuigen, who had been kicked by Ma Tou, squeezed out an ugly smile and carefully laughed with Ma Tou. He did not dare to stare at Ma Tou.
"You know what the heck, I'm kicking you for your own good, be careful of the trouble coming from your mouth." Half of the dozen or so people in his class are acquaintances of him who have been in the county, especially those who were kicked by him just now
Yu Shuigen. Ma Tou dared to say this because he had obviously regarded these guys as his own, and he was not afraid that someone would sue him. "Those four guys who have been following Company Commander Tang, don't look at those guys.
Those who show their strength but not their water are all famous bandits around Mengcheng. If they hear you talking bad about the little company commander behind your back, Xiaoxin, you are the one who eats and move away."
Ma Tou's words made Yu Shuigen, who was about to continue laughing and chatting, shut up. Company Commander Tang Cheng was always followed by four guys who didn't like to joke. This was nothing new in the Second Company, but those four
This guy turned out to be a bandit. What Ma Tou said made Yu Shuigen and his gang calm down. "Why do you think those bandits always follow the small company commander? For no other reason than that, because those bandits are all us."
The four bandits captured by the young company commander and his men are called repaying a favor."
"I heard from Shitou. When our junior company commander was in Mengcheng, he led a reinforced company of 0 people to sweep away more than a dozen groups of bandits around Mengcheng. The reinforced company he led at that time were just some members of the militia.
The weapons used by the regiment members are much worse than what we have now." Ma Tou's words made Yu Shuigen and the others open their mouths. Only a few militia members who looked like ordinary people could sweep away more than a dozen groups of bandits. This would have been impossible if not
It's really impossible to do anything serious.
"They're just bandits, so what? Didn't you, squad leader, bayonet that Japanese soldier to death in Shanghai?" Seeing that Ma Tou always enhances others' prestige and destroys his own prestige, Yu Shui is used to talking back to others.
Gen had forgotten the lesson just now and muttered in a low voice with great dissatisfaction, causing the soldiers who gathered around to laugh. At this moment, Yu Shuigen didn't look like a Japanese soldier who had fought with the Japanese army, but rather like a Japanese soldier who had been beaten.
The adults stole the candy from the children.
"That's not a big deal for me," said the boss Zhou Yan without raising his head, "Our little company commander is really good at killing Japanese soldiers. He killed more than 30 Japanese soldiers with his own hands in Nanjing City alone."
, and also followed the death squads to blow up two iron-cased tanks belonging to the Japs at Guanghua Gate."
"More than thirty Japanese soldiers? Two iron-cased tanks were also blown up?" Yu Shuigen was speechless, unable to speak clearly. If it is not unusual to kill more than thirty Japanese soldiers, it is not uncommon to explode them.
It seems that there is no such tough guy in Japan who can still survive after losing two Japanese tanks, and this tough guy is actually the guy from Tangcheng who looks like a mere brat.
Ma Tou raised his head and continued: "That's nothing. When our company commander fought against the Japanese soldiers in Mengcheng, he led his militia company to kill a Japanese squadron. Before coming to Macheng, he and a group of the 173rd Division
The defeated troops killed another Japanese squadron on the way. I heard from Shitou that as many as eighty Japanese soldiers died at the hands of our company commander."
"What, a hundred Japanese soldiers?" Yu Shuigen and others were completely dumbfounded.
Ma Tou threw the cigarette butt at his feet and said with a smile: "Now you know why those bandits are protecting our little company commander. That's because if you follow our little company commander, you can kill the Japanese and win the battle. I think so too."
The enemy soldiers also want to win the battle, so I joined the second company. You should keep this in mind in the future and don't speak ill of the junior company commander behind his back. Be careful that I will deal with you."
Why do Zhang Youquan and the others call Brother Shen Xing "250" behind their backs? That's why."
"I understand. I promise not to speak ill of our company commander behind our back in the future." Yu Shuigen seemed to have suddenly realized the situation and gave Ma Tou a smile, then he pricked up his ears and asked blankly, "What is this sound?"
?Squad leader, did you hear that?”
"What is that sound?" Seeing that Yu Shuigen didn't seem to be joking, Ma Tou listened carefully for a while, then lay down on the ground and put his ears tightly against the ground. Doesn't that mean Shui Gen also followed suit?
Lying on the ground, Ma Tou's expression suddenly changed, because he also heard the thunderous sound of horse hooves.
Ma Tou climbed up a high slope in front of him using his hands and feet, and saw a row of small black spots already appearing on the green field. In just a moment, those small black spots enlarged several times. Ma Tou's pupils were fierce.
Shrinking, what appeared in his sight was definitely not a caravan. The only explanation was that the cavalry was probably the Japanese cavalry. "Return to the city to report the message." Ma Tou didn't have any extra words, he just called Yu Shuigen and the others to report to the city.
They were running at full speed in the direction of the county town, and the only sound left between the sky and the earth behind them was the rumble of horses' hooves tapping against the earth.
