"Qingfengtang has been operating around Bengbu, how come it came to Macheng?" Heizi, who was also a bandit, fell into deep thought after listening to Tang Cheng's words. Heizi, who was afraid that Tang Cheng would suffer losses, led two people to support Tang Cheng.
Unexpectedly, Tangcheng ordered to shoot the horse bandits who had been captured alive. Surprised that Tangcheng's attitude was completely different now from Mengcheng's, Heizi secretly took a long breath, stretched out his hand to rub the twitching corners of his eyes,
If Tang Cheng had been so ruthless when he was suppressing bandits in Mengcheng, I'm afraid he wouldn't be alive now.
"Company Commander, the brothers who went to Liulipu to search are back. The bandits that the horse bandits mentioned just now are indeed here. It seems that there can be five or six hundred people. The brothers who searched only saw that they had light machine guns.
I didn't see any small artillery or heavy machine guns." Tangcheng was watching the Second Company clearing the battlefield. The soldiers sent out to search for the enemy came back. They heard that bandits of five or six hundred people were attacking, so Heizi and the others stood in Tangcheng.
The people around him took a deep breath.
Maybe he heard the hissing sound coming from Heizi's mouth when he inhaled. Tang Cheng turned around and looked around at them, and then smiled, "They are just bandits. They have no experience in fighting against the regular army, and they have no heavy firepower. They are not enough."
If you are afraid, just kill them all, just use them to test our fortifications." Tangcheng's words made Heizi stunned. Is this the same Tangcheng who was beaten by the Japanese army in Mengcheng Beishan? Tangcheng now is like
The sharp sword had been unsheathed, and the sharpness in his eyes made people dare not look at him.
Tang Cheng is the youngest in the second company, but he is the commander of the second company. The battle just outside the city that defeated more than a hundred horse bandits with single-digit casualties has established Tang Cheng's absolute command power in the second company.
With the near-blind trust and support of Niu Laogui and the other squad platoon leaders, the arrogant veterans in the second company could only obey Tang Cheng's command. "Return to the city to prepare for war" Tang Cheng's order was very simple.
Just four words made everyone in the second company busy. The ammunition in the position outside the city has been replenished, and the two heavy machine guns of the 88th Division to support the second company have been deployed. Now they are just waiting for the bandits to arrive.
"Captain, should we go out of the city to fight? Most of our people have never fought with real swords and guns. If the Japanese soldiers really come, we will be blind." Tian Guang looked carefully.
Sun Liansheng was looking at Sun Liansheng outside the city with a telescope. The latter's face was as dark as the dark clouds in the sky, and he was about to burst out of gloom. But for the sake of the garrison and his own future, Tian Guang must ask this question.
By the way, who told him that he was sent by Sun Shoucheng to assist Sun Liansheng?
"If you want to fight, if you don't fight, we will watch from the top of the city. I want to see how capable Tang is." Sun Liansheng obviously still couldn't let go of the dispute between him and Tang Cheng. He thought he would take over.
The position of commander of Macheng's garrison gave him complete control over Macheng's defense. Unexpectedly, Tangcheng, backed by the 88th Division, took control of Macheng's defense. The commander of the garrison, which had hundreds of troops, became a
If this is the case, then he should play the role of a side drum. Sun Liansheng wants to see how the Second Company with only 140 people in Tangcheng can resist the attack of five to six hundred bandits.
Sun Liansheng's open-mindedness made Tian Guang unable to continue what he was saying. He kept his mouth open for a while, then Tian Guang secretly shook his head and walked slowly down the city. He was definitely the one to help such a thing who didn't know how to fight.
The biggest mistake in my life. "Fucking idiot, if Tangcheng's Second Company was eaten by bandits, you thought you would be able to survive alone. If those guys from the 88th Division had eyes as big as they should have, they wouldn't have torn your Sun Liansheng into pieces."
That's weird." Tian Guang, who was walking down the city, spat hard at the back of Sun Liansheng on the city wall, then called the soldiers he had brought over and whispered some instructions.
Tian Guang was ready to leave the city at any time to meet the Tang City. Once he found out that the second company facing the enemy outside the city was defeated, the regular army he brought from the 36th Division would immediately rush out to support Tang City, and he and his public
There are benefits for everyone. Although Song Xilian values the 36th Division, the people in the Sun family do not hold official positions in the 36th Division. Compared with the 88th Division, the Sun family does not do well in the 36th Division. If
If it wasn't for Sun Shoucheng, he was still a close confidant of Song Xilian. A guy like Sun Liansheng who fooled around all day long had been shot in the middle of the night. It was his turn to show his face. After comparing the two, Tian Guang naturally chose
Help Tangcheng.
Tang Cheng, who was in the position outside the city, didn't know this. From the beginning, he had no hope of getting help from Sun Liansheng. Besides, the ones coming now were just bandits. If the Second Company couldn't defeat these bandits, how could it have the qualifications to fight against the Japanese army?
Fighting, so Tangcheng did not panic, but sat in the trenches and waited quietly for the bandits to arrive. The combat effectiveness of an army is not only reflected when fighting the enemy, but also the mentality when the enemy appears.
Most importantly, the commander's performance directly affects the combat effectiveness of the troops. If he wants to bring out the full combat effectiveness of the troops, the commander must respond calmly while commanding wisely.
This is a passage that Tang Cheng had read in Xie Bo's notebook. Although he understood the meaning of this passage, Tang Cheng, who understood everything, did not bother to make a pre-war mobilization speech. All he had to do was
Showing the same calmness as during training. When the few novices in the second company are anxiously waiting for the enemy to appear, Tang Cheng wants them to see his calmness and make them feel that the upcoming battle is no different from the usual training.
, the only difference is that there will be more blood.
Like Liu Yangyang, Tang Cheng also believes that the best way to train soldiers is to fight continuously. Only through the scouring of battles can the gold particles hidden in the gravel be found, and only through constant fighting can the soldiers of the Second Company become truly capable.
A veteran who survived on the battlefield. Tang Cheng didn’t know if the under-privileged Lao Xu would scold himself for being too prodigal. In order to face the upcoming bandits, Tang Cheng mobilized almost all the ammunition of the Second Company. As long as the Second Company could be
These guys have become real veterans, and Tangcheng doesn't care about the ammunition.
Tang Cheng's deliberate display of calmness had a certain effect. Under the guidance of Niu Laogui and his squad platoon leaders and veterans, the novices in the trenches no longer clutched their weapons tightly with cold sweat on their faces. Under the guidance of the veterans,
Under their guidance, the novices sat in the trenches or held cigarettes with slightly trembling fingers and smoked, or chatted and boasted with the soldiers around them in hoarse voices. In short, there was no sign of the approaching battle in the Second Company's position.
The tense atmosphere before.
"These guys are not bad, they just need to fight a few more battles. When I was forced by the squad leader to shoot on the battlefield, I was not as good as they are now." After patrolling the position, Niu Laogui, who was somewhat out of breath, stood next to him.
Tang Cheng sat down. Niu Laogui, who was already the second consecutive deputy, was more like playing the role of a nanny. Whenever Tang Cheng was in trouble, Niu Laogui could always find a topic to chat with Tang Cheng.
, when Tang Cheng came back to his senses, he found that his emotions had relaxed.
Taking the cigarette from Niu Laogui and holding it in his hand, Tang Cheng followed Niu Laogui's gaze and looked at the novices in the trenches, "I'm afraid the Japanese army won't give us time. The horse bandits who were captured alive said
There is only one Japanese in their cavalry, I believe this. But according to my understanding of the Japanese, they are not likely to do such things that are not worth the gain. I am afraid that there will be problems with the bandits who come later." Tang Cheng said this.
The words were spoken softly, but Niu Laogui was shocked by Tang Cheng's words.
Picking up the fallen matches from the soil under his feet, Niu Laogui looked at Tang Cheng beside him with a shocked expression, "Are you saying there might be Japanese soldiers among the bandits behind? Or are you saying that all those bandits are Japanese soldiers?" Niu Laogui asked.
Lao Gui was not a quick thinker, but the meaning of Tang Cheng's words just now was so obvious that even people like Niu Lao Gui understood the meaning of Tang Cheng's words.
"I'm not sure. This is just a guess on my part. Of course I hope that all the people who come will be bandits, so that we can have the opportunity to train." Tang Cheng took the match from Niu Laogui's hand, and then struck it for himself and Niu Laogui.
Gui lit the cigarette, "But if the Japanese army comes, five or six hundred people are the size of two Japanese squadrons. It would be very troublesome for the Second Company to face a Japanese squad alone, let alone two Japanese squadrons at the same time."
Niu Laogui, who put the lit cigarette to his mouth but didn't know he was smoking, couldn't help but his eyelids jumped. He knew what Tang Cheng meant by trouble. It was nothing more than referring to the possible casualties of the Second Company. It had something to do with the Japanese army.
Niu Laogui, who has fought against each other more than once, knows the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army. The current Second Company does not have the combat effectiveness of the main battle force, but it will not make Tangcheng so pessimistic.
If he wanted to ask, he swallowed it back in his stomach. Now was not the time to dwell on this. Niu Laogui was thinking that if he wanted to cheer up Tang Cheng and a war was imminent, it would not be okay for Tang Cheng, as the commander, to do this.
Niu Laogui smoked half of the cigarette in his mouth in one sip. Perhaps he could see what Niu Laogui was thinking. Tang Cheng smiled, "That's all I said, I know what I should do. Erlian
I have placed so many people's hopes on me, how could I lead the Second Company into a dead end." Although Tang Cheng did not express his position clearly, Niu Laogui's hanging heart finally settled. As long as he knew what he should do, he would be fine.
Better than having a head full of mush.
However, Tang Cheng's words also made Niu Laogui realize that this 19-year-old company commander was burdened with too many things. It was no wonder that when the Huang family left Macheng, he chose to stay in Macheng and rebuild the Second Company.
For Tangcheng, it is not just a promise, but more of a responsibility. "Coming, coming. Company commander, the flag is waving over there." The observation post in the position rushed to Tangcheng carrying binoculars.
Next to them, a row of hidden people on the flanks waved their flags, which meant that the bandits they had been waiting for for a long time in Tangcheng had finally arrived.
