Strictly speaking, Sanli Town should be under the jurisdiction of Wuhan, but its location is on the outskirts of Wuhan. After resting for the night at the Huang family, Tangcheng and the others followed the Huang family's servants and arrived at Sanli Town smoothly.
People have been waiting in Sanli Town for a long time. "Company Commander Tang, the director is talking about this warehouse. Although it is not a top priority, the director said that he hopes you will take good care of this place." Director Huang was sent to Sanli Town to hand over to Tangcheng.
The man in the warehouse was a second lieutenant named Meng Shizhang. He led Tangcheng to hand over the warehouse and several broken houses, and Meng Shizhang hurried back to the city.
"This is our fucking station?" Lao Dongbei, who had not yet gotten off his horse, pouted. The vast and dilapidated warehouse in front of him made people tired of looking at it, especially Lao Dongbei, who was so eye-catching.
This shabby warehouse immediately made Lao Dongbei shout out. Jiujin, who had just been picked up from the Huang family in Tangcheng, did not show any surprise. When he followed Liu Yangyang to fight the Japanese army in Nanjing,
The place they live in is worse than here.
"Okay, no matter how dilapidated this place is, it is still our place. Anyone who can still move will help clean it up. Uncle Niu, you take the stones to buy some daily things and come back. Old Northeast, you and Heizi and the others go around.
Turn around and check out the surrounding terrain." Tang Cheng dismounted and began to roll up his sleeves. Several carts sent by the Huang family were filled with rice, flour, grain and oil, including some daily supplies allocated to the Second Company by the left-behind office.
Tang Cheng only felt that Erlian had become a complete rich man.
The Second Company are all big men, and cleaning up houses is not their strong point. However, Tang Cheng is very careful, and the people of the Second Company have managed to make those dilapidated houses livable. "Company Commander, there is someone staring at us outside the gate.
." Tang Cheng followed the eyes of his soldiers and looked over. Several men in short shirts were looking in from outside the door. The warehouse assigned to the second company in the detention center was in a large yard, and the door that had been closed for a long time was opened.
, there are also more shirtless soldiers in the yard, and pedestrians passing by will naturally be a little curious.
"This place is really run-down. Is there any need to bring us here to guard it?" After following Niu Laogui out to buy some things, Liu Shitou wandered around the yard and went on the roof with nothing to do.
Looking around the warehouse full of holes, Liu Shitou sighed that it was not as good as Cyclamen's backyard. When Tangcheng chose Cyclamen as its residence, Liu Shitou was very dissatisfied with Cyclamen's backyard.
Compared with this place now, Cyclamen's backyard full of mule and horse excrement is simply heaven.
"We'll make peace with it now that we've come. Even though this place is a bit dilapidated, it's still better than us staying in Macheng with the stubborn Sun. Besides, there are dozens of people here. How can we not repair such a yard? I think you are.
You learn to be lazy in the Huang family." Before Tang Cheng could say anything, Liu Shitou was pulled by Niu Laogui's ears and scolded. Before these people in the Second Company carried guns and ate food, who was not digging in the fields to eat?
I came from a poor background, and now I don’t have to fight the Japanese army. I just need to clean up the yard, so what’s the problem?
Seeing Liu Shitou crying and mourning that Niu Laogui had eaten him to death, the wounded soldiers sitting in the shade of the yard laughed. There were still 77 people in the second company, most of them were wounded soldiers. Everyone was laughing and tidying up.
The speed of the yard is actually very fast. It was noon in Tangcheng, and they were sweating profusely. They had just cleared out the house where the people lived, but the weeds and garbage in the yard had not been cleared yet. According to the current speed, I am afraid they still need to
It takes one day to tidy up the entire yard.
Being transferred by the 88th Division to guard the vacant warehouse, the matter was a foregone conclusion, and Tangcheng and the others were not allowed to have different voices. No matter how damaged the courtyard and warehouse were, it was still a task assigned by the 88th Division. Anyway, they no longer had to face the Japanese army.
After that, Tang Cheng and the people from Erlian settled down in Sanli Town with peace of mind. Apart from not being able to understand the accent of Wuhan people, Tang Cheng didn’t think there was anything wrong with living here. After working hard for two days, Tang Cheng took
Lao Dongbei and his team tidied up the yard and gave it a new look. They also hired someone to repair the holes in the roof of the warehouse.
"The 88th Division will definitely not transfer you back to Wuhan just to let you see the warehouse. I don't think they will play the trick of hiding the bird behind the bow. You are just a little lieutenant. This company commander's position is
He's still an agent, and people can't see it." Mrs. Huang's analysis made Tang Cheng grin. Although the words didn't sound very pleasant, Mrs. Huang's analysis did make some sense. The division commander Zhong who transferred Erlian to Wuhan was
Zhong Bin personally gave the order. He is a dignified major general. There is really no need to be angry with him, a lieutenant. Besides, he was kind-hearted and did not offend Zhong Bin.
"Our house and shop have changed hands. The guns you asked for last time were all sent to Huang San and his friends. I plan to leave the day after tomorrow. The situation is really unclear now. If I leave earlier, there will be less trouble.
"Mrs. Huang said as she spoke, she took a box from Huang San's hand and pushed it to Tang Cheng, "This is prepared for you. The same principle applies to the army and the local government. They both need to manage their relationships. It's better to keep more money in your hands.
It is good."
Tang Cheng followed his words and opened the box on the table. There were 8 gold bars neatly placed inside. "Sister, I can't use this money at all. You'd better take it away. These people are going to need food when they get to Kunming."
Everything you drink costs money, and besides, my food and clothing are provided by the army, so I don’t need any money at all." Tang Cheng closed the lid and pushed the box back. Not allowing Mrs. Huang to shirk it, Tang Cheng removed the cowhide satchel from her waist.
He took out a cloth bag and slapped it on the table. "Here are 12 notes. You can take them all to Kunming. It's not safe to leave them with me."
"When Niu Laogui returned to Macheng from Wuhan, he brought me a guy who sold tobacco and soil. The guy was rich and bought 300 long guns from me in one go. I also had a lot of short guns and bullets lying around.
Well, do you think I'm short of money?" This is the Huang family's house, and those who can be brought to Wuhan by Mrs. Huang from Macheng are all people who can be assured. Faced with Mrs. Huang's doubts, Tangcheng did not avoid Huang.
Third, tell the whole story.
Hearing that Tang Cheng left the city with only a few dozen people to fight the Japanese army, Mrs. Huang couldn't help but clasping her hands and chanting Buddhist words silently. Seeing that Tang Cheng was laughing and joking and not taking it seriously, Mrs. Huang also got angry and stretched out her hand to grab him.
Having lived in Tangcheng, I twisted my ears half a circle. "You silly boy, you don't know how to be afraid. Those guns and cannons have no eyesight. If the little devil is easy to fight, China won't lose half of it."
Heshan, you, a guy who hasn't grown up yet, can't fight for your life."
"Sister, sister, let go, you are going to twist my ears off." Madam Huang reached out and grabbed her ears, and Tang Cheng hurriedly begged for mercy. Knowing that Madam Huang was worried about him, Tang Cheng was not really angry.
"Sister, you said that the Japanese have already fought outside the city. I am also a company commander after all. It's uncomfortable to be a coward. You can't ask me to be a coward. Besides, I can't win.
Well, I still have a Japanese army major’s saber. Wait until tomorrow. Ask Huang San to go to my place and get it for you to see."
Seeing that Tang Cheng was deliberately changing the subject, Mrs. Huang couldn't say anything else. She could only tell Tang Cheng to be more careful during the war. Naturally, Tang Cheng fully accepted Mrs. Huang's concern, and he also enjoyed Mrs. Huang's support.
My own care. After tidying up the barracks and warehouses, going to the Huang family to chat and eat, going to Wuhan’s black market with Niu Laogui and Huang San, and setting up camp in Sanli Town, Tangcheng did not do anything serious. For two days in a row, it was just full of people.
Take a stroll in Wuhan.
"You know what the hell, am I just wandering around? Our short guns and bullets are still piled in the warehouse. What if someone comes from above that day and sees our short guns?" Liu Shitou teased him for not doing his job properly. Tangcheng
Using strong words to make excuses for himself, as an excuse to deal with those short guns, Tangcheng went out at dawn and returned to camp at dusk. He was busy all day long and no one was seen.
Zhong Bin ordered the Second Company to be transferred back to Wuhan to inspect the warehouse. Of course, it was not to put Tang Cheng and the Second Company into the cold palace. When Zhong Bin received the telegram reporting Tang Cheng's victory, Tang Cheng had already set off for Wuhan with the Second Company.
The Second Company was a unit of the 88th Division. It was able to defeat a squadron of the Japanese army and kill the commander. This was undoubtedly a victory. In addition to the hundreds of traitor prisoners left in Macheng by Tangcheng, the scale of this battle was not counted.
A big battle is destined to be exaggerated into a big victory.
The telegram reporting the victory in Tangcheng has been in Zhong Bin's hands for several days. He was determined to report it to the theater headquarters, but he was afraid that others would say that he was grandstanding and that he was shamelessly praising his subordinates. But Tang Cheng
The achievements of Tang Cheng are actually shown here. The people he sent to Macheng have already seen the prisoners and got some of the trophies left by Tang Cheng from Tian Guang. These things prove that Tang Cheng did not say anything
lie.
After thinking about it for a while, Zhong Bin finally decided to continue to report Tangcheng's record. Anyway, these are real records. If the chairman of the committee found out about this, he, the commander of the 88th Division, would be ashamed of himself.
Tang Cheng, who was far away on the streets in Wuhan, didn't know about these things. After listening to Mrs. Huang's analysis that day, Tang Cheng planned to stay in Wuhan to rest in peace, not to cause trouble, not to stand out, and to just wait quietly.
In Sanli Town, it would be best to stay like this until the war is over.
"Director Huang, thank you for taking care of the Second Company. Brothers, we have new military uniforms now." Ignoring Director Huang's ugly fat face, Tang Cheng and his people came to complain three times a day, and finally
A batch of new military uniforms and helmets were obtained for the Second Company. Although the wounded in the Second Company have not recovered yet, more than 30 people who can still fight have put on new military uniforms and helmets, and they look a bit brave.
