"***, this is a great city, and supplies can be transferred quickly and plentifully." On the afternoon of Dai Li's visit to the Second Company, four trucks dragging black smoke drove into Sanli Town. The weapons and ammunition on the trucks were
Niu Laogui and others were dazzled by those supplies. "Unload the truck. Anyone who can still move will come and help unload the truck." Niu Laogui took the cigarettes and sent the drivers and soldiers who were escorting him to have tea and chat, while Lao Dongbei said
The men with the second company swarmed forward and began to unload the truck.
The vacant warehouse was finally put to use. The boxes moved from the truck were placed on the floor. Colonel Yu, who had already been here once, pried open one of the wooden boxes and took out a Niu Lao Gui. They all
A machine gun I have never seen before. "This is a mg42-type 7.92mm general-purpose machine gun equipped by the German army. It has the same caliber as the Mauser rifle bullets we distributed. This gun was brought from Germany by the German training group the year before last. There are 12 guns in total."
, 10 guns were taken away by the national government, and these two guns were specially approved by the chairman of the committee for your second company."
In front of Niu Laogui and the others, Colonel Yu stretched out his hand to open the latch and cover ring on the back side of the barrel sleeve, and easily removed the barrel. "This is how the barrel is replaced. I'll bring it to you."
I have brought a few spare barrels. When firing this gun, remember not to fire for a long time and remember to replace the barrel, otherwise the accuracy of the bullet will be blind." They showed Laodongbei one more time the barrel.
Just after changing the method, Colonel Yu held a cigarette in his mouth and motioned with his eyes to Tang Cheng to follow him out.
"This is just to replenish supplies for your second company. Director Dai will be here soon. It's best to keep your people in this warehouse. Director Dai doesn't want to mobilize troops." After whispering to Tang Cheng, Colonel Yu held it in his mouth.
The cigarettes went to the gate. I didn’t know what Dai Li was doing again, but since he had already greeted him in advance, Tang Cheng had no choice but to do as Colonel Na Yu said. After whispering a few words to Niu Laogui, Tang Cheng changed into a new military uniform.
Also waiting at the gate.
I saw the car approaching from a distance. Tang Cheng and Colonel Na Yu stood straight outside the gate. What caught my eye were the three black Buick cars that came in the morning. When the motorcade stopped outside the gate, first from the front and back.
A few men in blue Mao suits got out of the car. After the men in blue dispersed, Dai Li, who had a relationship with Tangcheng, came out of the car in the middle. He was just talking to Na Yu.
The colonel and Tang Cheng nodded, and the expressionless Dai Li walked into the courtyard. Tang Cheng turned around and wanted to follow, but was stopped by a man in blue with his hand.
Tang Cheng hesitated for a moment, then the man in blue stretched out his hand in front of Tang Cheng with a cold face and snorted. Tang Cheng understood immediately when he saw this, and hurriedly took out the few pieces of ocean he had from his pocket and put them there.
The man in the man's hand. The man in blue suddenly became angry and said: "Asshole! Do you understand the rules? Your gun! You must disarm when you see Boss Dai, do you understand?" Only then did Tang Cheng know that he had made a mistake.
While feeling sorry for the oceans that had been thrown to the ground by the man in blue, he unhooked the two shell guns slung on his body.
Tang Cheng handed over his gun and was finally able to follow him into the yard. The man in blue immediately changed his face, just like an old prostitute in a brothel desperately soliciting customers. His enthusiasm was simply
It was outrageous, but this excessive enthusiasm made Tang Cheng very unaccustomed and too much to bear. However, this guy who took away his own gun also made Tang Cheng truly realize the allusion of being a person in front of others and a ghost behind his back.
In the simple command post in Tangcheng, the cheerful Dai Li held Tangcheng's hand cordially and asked carefully: "Are you used to eating in Wuhan recently? How is your living? If you are lacking anything, you have to point it out directly.
You are a fighting hero. Even if the government is in difficulty, it will still satisfy you." Dai Li didn't say a word that was official cliché, and every sentence seemed very kind and considerate, but Tang Cheng had goosebumps all over his body. The Dai Li in front of him was really very special.
strange.
Tang Cheng was unconsciously dazed. Colonel Yu, who was standing beside him, had to cough twice, and then Tang Cheng, who was in a daze, returned to normal. Looking sideways at the hint of Colonel Yu, Tang Cheng discovered
Among the few people who followed, there was actually a guy holding a camera. Tang Cheng, who was still confused at first, suddenly understood that Dai Li's cheerful face and enthusiasm for himself were all because of this guy holding a camera.
"This time is the chairman's request. Company Commander Tang severely damaged the Japanese Mitsui Squadron in Macheng with one company, killing 172 Japanese invaders under the enemy leader Isamu Mitsui, killing 1 traitor and capturing 71 traitors. He defeated and killed 600 Japanese invaders in Macheng.
Bandits and horse thieves. The chairman of the committee has decided to promote Company Commander Tang to the rank of captain and at the same time, prepare to award you a Medal of Treasure." Dai Li's last words made Tang Cheng's head buzz. Dai Li actually came to give it to him.
Awarding medals.
Tangcheng has nothing to say except tears of gratitude. Dai Li is also sighing and sighing. The military commanders have gone to Macheng to interrogate the traitors who were captured alive by Tangcheng. The battle report only said that the Second Company defeated a Japanese squadron in Macheng, but Dai Li
But he knew the hardships and tragedies involved. Zhong Bin originally wanted to promote Tang Cheng to the rank of major, but was rejected by the Ministry of Military Affairs. Tang Cheng was only one year old this year, and his age was indeed a problem.
If Tang Cheng, who has just turned one year old this year, is promoted to the rank of major, the Ministry of Military Affairs is afraid that the lower-ranking officers in the army will be unwilling to do so. You must know that Tang Cheng was still an ignorant boy at this time last year, but now he has become a commander of the 88th Division.
For a company commander, Tang Cheng's promotion speed has actually broken the precedent of the National Revolutionary Army, so being promoted to major would be a bit too shocking.
The promotion system of the ** has quite complete regulations. There are upper limits for promotion standards and years of military merit, which is to prevent the emergence of so-called special cases of lucky promotion. The military ranks of the National Revolutionary Army range from private, first class, first class, to the next generation.
, sergeant, staff sergeant, warrant officer, second lieutenant, lieutenant, captain, major, lieutenant colonel, colonel, major general, lieutenant general, second-level general, first-level general, special general, six and eighteen levels.
No matter how great your achievements are, if you want to go directly from a soldier to an officer, it is simply impossible here in the Ministry of Military Affairs. The only way to do this is to recruit a bad officer for you privately in the army below, and then report it to the police after two years.
This is the only way. Chiang Kai-shek can only use his military exploits to promote Tang Cheng to captain. Since the military rank cannot be promoted, then he should give Tang Cheng the honor. That's why Dai Li awarded Tang Cheng a medal.
When everything was ready, Dai Li hung the third-class ribbon of the Yunhui Medal on Tang Cheng's chest with a smile on his face. The latter snapped to attention, which made the smile on Dai Li's face even brighter. "This third-class treasure tripod is for your defense."
As a reward for your service to the country, even though you were wounded in battle, you have always maintained your integrity. I hope that you will repay the country with loyalty and loyalty, and continue to work hard to make new contributions to the party and the country." Dai Li's words were obviously clichés, but Tang Cheng stood straight.
There was even a little moisture in his eyes. This medal was the best proof of recognition for him and the Second Company.
After the investiture ceremony, Dai Li and others left directly, but Colonel Yu came over and patted Tang Cheng on the shoulder vigorously, saying with a smile, "You guys can do it. A small acting company commander actually received such an honor.
Now I'm so envious of those second-generation ancestors who just mess around." In the combat army, many people who have had life-and-death friendships interact with each other with the same glance. In one sentence, they don't care if the sky falls.
This is the life and death relationship between soldiers.
Knowing that Colonel Yu wanted to make good friends with him, Tang Cheng was not stingy and allowed the officer Yu to join his command post, and he was very busy passing out cigarettes and tea. "Okay, stop working.
, it’s too hard to find you here. If it weren’t for Han Ju’s request, I wouldn’t have come to this ghost place like yours several times in a row.” Only two people, Colonel Yu and Tang Cheng, were left in the command post.
After a few words of greeting, Colonel Yu simply identified himself. It turned out that this man and Huang Hanju were close friends.
"Thank you so much for your help, Brother Yu. Otherwise, when Sun Liansheng came to make trouble that day, I really wouldn't have been able to deal with it." When he learned that the other party was Huang Hanju's friend, the alienation in Tang Cheng's eyes disappeared and was replaced by sincere enthusiasm and gratitude.
Huang Hanju's character was impeccable, and anyone who could match his brother would definitely not be an evil person. Besides, there was still an olive branch from Dai Li in Tangcheng, so he was not afraid of the military police coming to trouble him.
"The people in the Sun family are just mud who can't stick to the wall. They have no other skills, but their ability to pester people is excellent. If there weren't a few old people in his family who had worked with the president, the chairman would have put them to death.
The Sun family was uprooted. It's ridiculous that Sun Shoucheng thought that their Sun family was from the Republic of China." Hearing Tang Cheng mention Sun Liansheng, Yu Baishui spat on the ground with disdain on his face, "If you meet that second-generation ancestor of Sun Liansheng again in the future,
Just avoid him when you don't want to talk to him. Although the Sun family is not as powerful as the Republic of China, a dead camel is bigger than a horse. You, the captain, are no match for the Sun family."
Without Dai Li's full support, who provided a large amount of weapons and ammunition supplies to the second company, Tangcheng would not have such sufficient confidence. But Yu Baishui's words were not unreasonable. He sent Yu Baishui away, and Tangcheng sat alone in the command post.
Li thought about it for a while. If, as Yu Baishui said, this Sun Liansheng is a dog-skin plaster, then he might come to bother him. Tang Cheng, who looked sad, looked down at his Baoding Medal and couldn't help laughing.
Come.
Touching the Baoding Medal, Tang Cheng's eyes were full of joy. Liu Yangyang had been a soldier for many years and had always wanted such a medal. Xie Bo was from Huangpu and had not received the medal. This could be regarded as a complete thank you.
