It can be seen that Xie Bo's condition is not very good. Although Xie Bo is an officer, there are at least seven or eight beds in his ward. It may be because of the arrival of Tang Cheng that those beds are obviously filled with odds and ends.
There was no one there. Liu Yangyang had already led Niu Wazi and several others out of the ward. There were only two people in the ward, Tang Cheng and Xie Bo, which seemed much deserted. "Uncle Liu asked you to come. I want your help with something. Since
You have already dealt with the Japanese army, so I will tell you directly." Xie Bo broke the deadlock first.
"You know, my company has been disabled, but the division headquarters and the regiment want to rebuild our second company, and in the future the second company will be directly under the command of the division headquarters." Xie Bo was extremely excited when he talked about rebuilding the second company.
There was a trace of energy on his haggard face, "But my current situation is like this, and it may not be possible to rebuild the second company in time, so I recommended to the division headquarters Liu Yangyang, the platoon leader, to replace me as the company commander. Ten people who were slightly injured were
Several brothers will return to the newly-established Second Company as platoon commanders and non-commissioned officers."
"But what does this have to do with me?" Xie Bo rambled on for a long time. Tang Cheng was a little confused. He couldn't figure out what these things had to do with him. What did Xie Bo mean by help?
Meaning.
"Liu Yangyang is a veteran in the regiment. If it weren't for his character, he might have already been the company commander. The appointment of him to take over my position was made by the regiment commander. If Liu Yangyang had something wrong while he was the company commander,
No matter what happens, the leader who guarantees him will not be able to step down." Xie Bo's speaking speed slowed down, and there was a sense of loneliness in his expression, "Liu Yangyang is impulsive in doing things, and he has a lot of bad habits, and he will not deal with things calmly.
, so I’m afraid that handing over the newly-established Second Company to him will harm him, but now I can’t find a more suitable person to take over the Second Company besides him.”
"So I asked Liu Yangyang to come find you." Xie Bo waved his hand to signal Tang Cheng not to interrupt him, "Although you are only 19 years old this year, among the people I know, you are the only one who can read and write Japanese.
And you are very good at observing details and making correct analyses. Sooner or later, a full-scale war between China and Japan will break out, and Liu Yangyang lacks someone like you to help him."
Seeing that Tang Cheng didn't seem to understand what he meant, Xie Bo smiled, "When I was your age, I was just a student. I only knew how to read and study in school. But when the Battle of Songhu broke out on 128, our school
Many classmates joined the army, and I was naturally one of them. But at that time, I was not as courageous as you to dare to fight with the Japanese army. We were just incorporated into the labor army and helped the army transport ammunition and carry the wounded. Later, we also
I don’t know what happened, but I entered Huangpu Military Academy in a daze, and then I became the commander of the second company.”
Xie Bo's narration surprised Tang Cheng. He never expected that Xie Bo was actually from Shanghai and was a student in the same school as Xiao Yalan and the others. "Then do you regret it now? If you don't join the army,
Maybe it wouldn't have ended up like this." Ignoring Xie Bo's status as an officer, Tang Cheng told the truth, if Xie Bo hadn't joined the army, he might still be alive and kicking now.
"Do you regret it?" Xie Bo frowned and thought for a while before saying slowly, "I regret a little bit. I regret why I am not the battalion commander or the regiment commander. If I could command more troops, maybe we would have fought against the Japanese army.
When the time comes, the chance of winning will be greater, so that my brothers will suffer fewer casualties. I regret that I may never be able to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy again in the future. If my arm is still good, even if I lose an eye, I will
I can still kill the Japanese, but it’s a pity that I only have one left hand left and can only throw grenades, not shoot.”
"The fact that you survived two days and two nights of fighting means that you are also a lucky person. Fighting depends not only on tactics and tactics, but also on luck and experience."
He took out a black leather notebook and handed it to Tang Cheng, "This is some command experience that I have recorded since I commanded the Second Company. After every battle, I will summon the officers in the company to sum up their experience. There are also some experiences in saving lives on the battlefield.
, I think you should be able to use it in the future."
Regardless of Tang Cheng's refusal, Xie Bo still stubbornly asked Tang Cheng to put away the notebook, "Those life-saving things in here are the experiences summed up by veterans like Liu Yangyang, and they are needed most by newcomers like you on the battlefield. Don't worry,
Regardless of whether you agree to help Liu Yangyang or not, I will give this notebook to you, and we are destined to sleep together." Xie Bo kept saying that he would not force Tang Cheng to help Liu Yangyang, but he kept hinting to Tang Cheng both inside and outside his words.
City, this made Tang Cheng not know what to say for a while.
"This pistol has been with me for three years. It is an authentic German rapid-fire rifle. It is much better than the rifle you snatched from the Japanese officer. There is no use for me to keep it anyway, so I might as well give it away too.
Here you go, just think of it as a thought and make the best use of it." What Xie Bo took out this time was an 80% new shell gun and two loaded magazines. Tangcheng said
Xie Bo's notebook may be a little hard to accept, but I fell in love with Xie Bo's pistol right away.
The roasted blue color on the body of the shell gun is still there, which shows that Xie Bo has taken good care of the gun. Tangcheng unconsciously handed over the shell gun to Xie Bo and dismantled the whole shell gun into a pile in front of Xie Bo.
Parts. Although Tangcheng's method of dismantling guns is still a little unfamiliar, it makes Xie Bo very jealous. He used to be able to disassemble and clean this shell gun at the airport. Unfortunately, he has lost one hand now.
Speaking of disassembling this pistol, it may be difficult to clean it carefully.
"Okay, it's already very late. I'll ask someone to take you back first, but I hope you can consider what I said. I believe you can understand." He quietly watched Tang Cheng reassemble the shell gun.
, Xie Bo refused Tang Cheng and wanted to return the gun to him, but also called Liu Yangyang and asked him to arrange for someone to send the confused Tang Cheng back to the church.
On the way back to the church, Tang Cheng kept his head down in gloom. He was still thinking about what Xie Bo said. Xie Bo said that it would be a matter of time before the Japanese army launched a large-scale attack on Shanghai. The Nationalist Government deployed troops from various places to assist the Shanghai battlefield.
But the weapons and equipment of most troops are very crude, just like the Sichuan troops in a ward of the hospital in Tangcheng. They actually wore straw sandals to fight the Japanese army. Not to mention that they did not have heavy weapons, even the weapons they were using were
It's junk that even bandits won't pick up if it's left on the ground.
Tangcheng had fought with the Japanese army and had seen the powerful firepower and precise shooting level of the Japanese army. If the Japanese troops participating in the Battle of Shanghai were really like Xie Bo said, this battle with the Japanese army would really be lost.
Robert is dead, Mike can't be found, and now Shanghai is about to be lost again. Tangcheng doesn't know where else he can go. Is he really going to the United States, to a place he's not familiar with?
"I know you must have experienced things that I don't know about. A man who has only fought for two days on the battlefield will not and dare not take action against five Japanese soldiers alone." When Xie Bo said these words,
There were only two people in the ward, he and Tang Cheng. "You are a natural soldier. I originally thought I would find you after the war in Shanghai is over. You can speak and understand Japanese, which is what we need. But
Now the war has ended like this. Since you said you already have an American passport, if you are not willing to help Liu Yangyang, then you should leave quickly. Shanghai is not a place to stay for a long time."
It was Niu Wazi and another guy hanging his arms who escorted Tangcheng back to the church. Compared with Niu Wazi's nagging, the guy named Nianzi was really as silent as a stone grinder. "I'm telling you, we
The company commander said, even though our company has been wiped out, as long as the recruits assigned from above arrive, our company will definitely be the best company in the entire 88th Division." Niu Wazi remembered what Liu Yangyang had told him before leaving.
, he put his arms around Tang Cheng's shoulders in a familiar manner and vigorously promoted the many advantages of their company, but Tang Cheng remained silent like Nianzi.
After sending Tang Cheng to the door of the church, Nianzi, who had been silent for the whole time, took out a note and handed it to Tang Cheng, "The company commander thinks highly of you. I believe in the company commander's eyes. If you want to come to us, someone will call you."
Come to pick you up." Holding the note handed over by Nianzi, Tang Cheng stood at the door of the church and looked at the military vehicles going away with a dark expression. When he was in the ward, Tang Cheng almost told Xie Bo that he had assassinated the Japanese.
He could see that Xie Bo still wanted to drag him into a trap, and he could also see that Xie Bo was sincerely persuading him to leave Shanghai.
It’s up to us to take the road ahead. Tang Cheng is unsure, but Shanghai, which is now filled with war, is indeed not a place to stay in the future. Xie Bo is right, we can’t stay in Shanghai anymore, and we have to leave to find a way to survive. Go back to your room
Tang Cheng found the iron box left by Robert from under the bed. The shell gun obtained from the Japanese army was in the box. There were three bullets in the gun. These were the last remaining bullets in Tang Cheng. With the Japanese army
With the experience of killing at close quarters, this shell gun is more than just a pistol to Tangcheng.
Compared with the gun that Xie Bo gave to him, Tang Cheng's gun looked much uglier, but Tang Cheng would not discard it, because without it, Tang Cheng might have perished in the fire along with Emma and the others.
Tang Cheng put both pistols under the pillow and turned over to bed, but he couldn't fall asleep for a long time. He was still thinking about what Xie Bo said to him tonight. He knew that it was cruel for him to reject Xie Bo, but he
He really didn't have much confidence in joining the army and fighting, and he didn't want to become like Xie Bo.
