When the people Heizi sent back to report found Tang Cheng, the latter was nestled in Huang Hanju's recliner, sitting in the courtyard and dozing off in the sun. Tang Cheng, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up by someone and habitually raised his watch to look at it.
He was about to express his extreme dissatisfaction when he suddenly found that the person who woke him up was one of the three people who followed Heizi out for investigation. "Why are you back? Where are Heizi and the others?" He started from the recliner.
Tang Cheng hadn't fully woken up yet, so he asked the guy who woke him up in confusion.
The guy who was sent back by Heizi to report the news was in a hurry. After waking up Tang Cheng, he just gasped. Tang Cheng, who didn't know what was going on, told him to speak slowly. He even shouted and gestured to give Tang Cheng a good shout,
Only then did Tang Cheng understand what the guy who followed Heizi out for reconnaissance had come back for. "How many people are there? How far are they from Macheng? Is there an artillery team?" A series of questions made the guy sent back by Heizi dumbfounded.
, he knows this.
"Call everyone who is still able to move and hold a gun to gather in the yard. There is going to be a tough battle." He patiently listened to the guy who ran back to report the whole thing and retold the whole thing, and habitually went to his pockets to feel it.
Only then did Tang Cheng realize that he was only wearing a shirt and that he was in the Huang family compound. The Second Company had withdrawn to the city to rest, and Macheng's guards had already been handed over to Sun Liansheng's garrison.
Dozens of soldiers from the Second Company stood sparsely in the Huang family compound. Niu Laogui and his men escorted those boxes to Wuhan but they have not returned yet. Excluding those who were injured and have not yet recovered, there are only less than 60 people standing in front of Tangcheng."
The Japanese army is coming." Tang Cheng's clueless words frightened the soldiers of the Second Company who hurriedly came to gather. "Heizi led two people to intercept the Japanese army at Kucaogou. I just counted it, and our Second Company can still get it.
There are only 57 people fighting with guns. The defense of Macheng has been handed over to the garrison, but we are still in Macheng. I want to ask you if we want to go out of the city to fight."
Tang Cheng did not tell Heizi that the Japanese army they intercepted was a squadron, and that there were hundreds of traitors and plainclothes help. He was afraid that if he told the truth, his soldiers who had just experienced fierce battles would become resistant. They gathered in the courtyard.
The soldiers of the Second Company said anything. Some said that they would go out of the city to fight, and some said that there was a garrison to support them. They couldn't bear to stick to Sun Liansheng's donkey face. Tangcheng ignored their comments and called Lao Dongbei to surrender.
He went to prepare weapons and ammunition first.
Heizi followed Tang Cheng all the way from Mengcheng, and Heizi and the others were so good at shooting that they couldn't let Tang Cheng ignore Heizi and the three of them who were alone outside. Regardless of whether the guys from Erlian were willing to go out of the city to fight, Tang Cheng
Chengdu was going to pick up Heizi and the others back to the city, and Tangcheng also needed to know the specific situation of the Japanese army from Heizi. After some debate, when Tangcheng was still worried, the soldiers who had nested in the yard were bombed.
We also came to the conclusion that most of the soldiers were willing to go out of the city with Tang Cheng to fight.
Without further ado, Tang Cheng, who was worried about Heizi and the others, immediately ordered the troops to leave the city. Although the second company now had less than 60 people who could still hold guns and fight, after the bloody battle, the second company already had the momentum of an iron-blooded soldier. The second company marched as a whole team.
Lian ran on the stone streets of the county town, and his momentum made the people in the county town applaud. "What are you doing in Tangcheng? Didn't you say you were resting in the Huang Family Courtyard?" After receiving the report from his cronies, he hid on the top of the city.
Sun Liansheng, who was pushing Pai Gow, was a little stunned and didn't even look carefully at the good hand he just grabbed.
Tangcheng didn't know that Sun Liansheng was playing Pai Gow on the top of the city. He was standing with Tian Guang and talking in a low voice. "Captain Tian, I'm not lying to you. My people are already fighting the Japanese army in Kucaogou.
Come on, the Japanese army is squadron-sized this time, and the person who came back to report said that the Japanese army brought about 0 traitors and plainclothes, and there are 400 people inside and outside this place." Tian Guang seemed to not believe what he said, and became anxious.
Tang Cheng reached out and grabbed Tian Guang's front and yelled loudly.
"Company Commander Tian, you are also a veteran of many battles. If you think carefully about what I just said, do you really think I am lying to you? If you are not prepared in advance, what if the Japanese army really
We have come to attack Macheng. Do you really think that you can defend Macheng with the help of the garrison and your company of soldiers? If you really think so, then Tang will not waste his words and time in vain." It's easy to talk and let go, Tangcheng.
Facing the pale-faced Tian Guang, he said goodbye and led the men of the Second Company out of the city gate and ran north.
Tian Guang's face had long been lost after being talked about by Tang Cheng in a futile manner, but he did not forget about what Tang Cheng had just said. "Captain Sun, what Tang Cheng just said about him
Japanese troops were discovered outside the city. The squadron-sized Japanese troops also brought about 0 plainclothes traitors. They have already arrived at Kucaogou. Should we make some preparations in advance?" Sun Liansheng, who had just grabbed a good hand, was a little impatient.
He looked towards Tian Guang, who was running to disturb the scenery.
"I said, Lao Tian, you can't listen to Tangcheng's nonsense. The Japanese army is currently attacking Fujin Mountain. Besides, there is a defense line of the 312th Division over Huoshan. Where can the Japanese army detour the troops back to Macheng?
?Haha, look at my Supreme Treasure." Sun Liansheng, who was rubbing the cards with his eyes narrowed while talking to Tian Guang, shouted loudly, slapped the Pai Gow in his hand on the table, and then smiled and asked the officers who were pushing the Pai Gow with him
Sun Liansheng, who was giving money and busy collecting it, completely forgot that Tian Guang was still waiting for his reply.
There is nothing worse than this situation. I originally thought that Tangcheng had given up the defense of Macheng, and Sun Liansheng would seize this opportunity to show his face. However, I did not expect that this troublemaker only pushed Pai Gow, but instead
He ignored what he had just said. Tian Guang, who sighed secretly, walked down the city in silence. Sun Shoucheng repeatedly said that Sun Liansheng was not a bad person. Indeed, Sun Liansheng was not a bad person, but Sun Liansheng was not a capable person either.
Comparing the city, Sun Liansheng is eight blocks behind.
"Tell the brothers to enter the position. The second company said that the Japanese army is coming. We don't care whether the Japanese army comes or not. Let's take precautions first." Tian Guang called all his squad and platoon leaders together, and called Tang Cheng and the
He roughly repeated what he said. Tian Guang's company is a regular army unit of the 36th Division, and his men often fought with the Japanese army. Moreover, the 36th Division is a direct descendant of the Japanese army, and the military discipline is very strict. If it delays the fighter plane, it will be lost.
Macheng, those of them who lead troops and manage people may not be able to escape being accused.
The situation has become extremely urgent. It has been half an hour since the guy who came back to the city to report the news left Heizi. Tang Cheng, who led the troops out of the city, handed the soldiers to Lao Dongbei and gave them some instructions. Tang Cheng himself
He hurried to Kucaogou with a few horsemen. One more person means more strength, not to mention that Tang Cheng also brought two machine gunners and a Czech light machine gun. Tang Cheng knew Heizi's skills, but he
He also knew the fighting power of the Japanese army, but since Heizi had not returned yet, Tang Cheng was really anxious.
After running for three or four miles in one breath, Tang Cheng, who was riding at the front, finally saw three horses galloping towards him from a distance. The riders on the horses were none other than Heizi and the others. "Why are you leading people?"
Are you here? Didn’t I send someone back to report the news to you?" After showing off to Tang Cheng the light machine gun he had snatched from the Japanese army for a while, the proud Heizi actually asked Tang Cheng why he left the city and showed up here on horseback.
Chong Heizi rolled his eyes. Tang Cheng on horseback was a little helpless, thinking that people who grew up in bandit dens were different. He had just escaped from the pursuit of the Japanese army, and in the blink of an eye he seemed like nothing happened. "Let's go to the Tutu Temple.
, let’s give a big gift to the Japanese army at Tutu Temple.” Heizi and the other three were already fine. Knowing that time waits for no one, Tang Cheng turned his horse and ran towards the road. The Japanese army was coming fiercely. If we just waited for them to attack Macheng, we could just rely on the city.
The two circular trenches outside may not be able to block the Japanese attack. The best way is to block the Japanese army in sections and consume as much of their troops as possible before the Japanese army reaches Macheng.
The Earth Temple mentioned in Tangcheng is located in the northern suburbs of Macheng. Since Macheng changed to a new county magistrate, the popularity of the Earth Temple has gradually declined, and now it has become a shelter for some beggars and refugees. From here to Macheng, you will definitely pass by
In the open area where the Tutu Temple is located, Tangcheng planned to use the terrain of the Tutu Temple to ambush the Japanese army. It took less than a quarter of an hour to reach the Tutu Temple by galloping on horseback. After Tangcheng had planned all the arrangements, he was full of big heads.
Khan's old Northeast also hurried to the Tutu Temple with the rest of the Second Company.
"In this way, Old Northeast, I will leave you alone to go east and dig a one-man bunker in the wilderness over there. You and all your men will hide in the bunker. Do not expose the target until you hear the gunfire. Pay attention to the bunker.
"Disguise." Without giving Lao Dongbei and the others any extra chance to breathe, Tangcheng assigned a light machine gun to Lao Dongbei and directly drove Lao Dongbei and the soldiers of the Second Company into the open field east of the Tutu Temple.
"Heizi, I'll give it to you personally. You go to the north and take cover in the direction where the Japanese troops are coming. If you don't hear the sound of gunshots, just hide." Neither Lao Dongbei nor Heizi understood why Tangcheng placed them in a place with no cover.
In the open field. The layer of turf in the field can't even cover the helmets. Do they really have to squat in the pit? "Nonsense, I brought the engineer shovel specially to ask you to dig the pit. The Japanese army left
There is still distance and enough time for you to dig a hole. As long as you hide it well, you will not be discovered by the Japanese army."
Tang Cheng's answer dispelled the last doubts of Lao Dongbei and Heizi. They believed that Tang Cheng would not push them into the pit of fire. Lao Dongbei and Heizi did not know that Tang Cheng had no idea himself. He was gambling his luck with the Japanese army.
I bet that after seeing the Tutu Temple on the roadside, the Japanese army would focus all their attention on the Tutu Temple. As long as the Japanese army ignored the open space behind them and on their flanks, the purpose of Tangcheng's arrangement like this would be achieved.
