It was no accident that Tangcheng appeared here. After leaving Wuhan and arriving at Macheng, before he could set up camp, the combat staff sent by Sun Lianzhong pulled the entire right wing of the Xiaojieling defense line away. After the Japanese army captured the mall, Sun Lianzhong led three regiments
The entire army was deployed in the Shawo and Xiaojieling areas, preparing for a decisive battle with the enemy. The corps deployed its left and right wings to face the enemy, with the 30th Army and the 42nd Army as the right wing, and the 71st Army as the left wing.
Originally, according to the order of the Second Company, the Second Company should be transferred to the left wing of the defense line to join the 88th Division. However, when the Military and Political Department sent a new order to the Second Company, another order related to the Second Company had been telegraphed to Sun Lianzhong.
Li Sun Lianzhong didn't understand how the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs could not deal with a small infantry company, but the weapons and ammunition allocated to the 30th Army by the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs had already left Wuhan. If he did not act in accordance with the orders of the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs, those weapons and ammunition that should have been allocated to the 30th Army
The weapons and ammunition may be out of reach or insufficient.
Tangcheng's Second Company eliminated the injured people who stayed behind in Wuhan, and only 110 people were left. Tangcheng didn't even meet the big bosses of the 30th Army, so he was deceived out of the defense line to investigate the enemy's situation. The reason was that the Second Company
He had been stationed in Macheng and was familiar with the terrain here. On the right side of the Xiaojieling defense line, facing off against the 30th Army was the Japanese 13th Division. Although the 13th Division had also added a lot of recruits after the Battle of Fujinshan, when it faced off against the 30th Army
At the same time, scout troops were continuously dispatched to spy on the Xiaojieling defense line. Tangcheng's mission this time was to investigate the troop deployment of the 13th Division and to eliminate the scout troops of the 13th Division.
"These little bastards drove us out without even giving us time to breathe." Lao Dongbei, who was holding a light machine gun, complained as he walked, while Niu Laogui's face didn't look very good at this time.
Okay. Niu Laogui is also an old man who has been in the army for ten years, but he has never seen such a troop mobilization and arrangement. The second company of the 88th Division was not allowed to return to the army, but was transferred to the enemy.
Pre-investigation, these are all too abnormal.
Laodongbei was not happy, and Niu Laogui was extremely depressed. Fortunately, their attitude was not transmitted to other people in the Second Company. Not far from the defense line of the 30th Army, Tangcheng divided the Second Company into three.
He took Heizi's platoon, Lao Dongbei took the second platoon, and Niu Laogui took the remaining three platoons. The second company, which was divided into three groups, searched forward in a Z-shaped formation. While concealing its whereabouts, Tangcheng also
I won’t be bothered by the bitter faces of Lao Dongbei and Niu Laogui.
Tang Cheng did not realize that this was Sun Lianzhong cooperating with the Ministry of Military Affairs to set a trap for him. On the defense line of the 30th Army, most of the soldiers Tang Cheng saw were recruits. An army with half of them composed of recruits indeed needed two soldiers.
Even troops who are familiar with the terrain are responsible for the reconnaissance mission. Tang Cheng once made a sand table in Macheng. In order to make this sand table, the Huang family almost traveled all over the mountains and fields of Macheng. Although it is not 100% accurate, it is
Tangcheng and the others do know the terrain of Macheng better than the 30th Army.
The Second Company, which was moving forward in a Zigzag pattern, and the row led by Tang Cheng was located at the position of the arrow. There were four of them including Heizi. Two consecutive groups of Japanese scouts were successfully eliminated by them until they were on a slope with lush vegetation.
When we were taking a break, we happened to meet Su Datong and the others. With experience in fighting in the northern mountains of Mengcheng, as soon as Tangcheng left the defense line of the 30th Army, he ordered his soldiers to cut off weeds and shrubs to disguise themselves. If
Otherwise, Heizi would not be able to successfully kill the two groups of Japanese scouts.
At first, when Su Datong and the others exchanged fire with the Japanese army, Tang Cheng only planned to sit back and watch the excitement. However, with the emergence of the Japanese machine guns, Su Datong's side seemed to be at a disadvantage. Since they were all Japanese troops, Tang Cheng could no longer fight.
Continuing to watch, the two grenade launchers in his hands also require the grenade grenades and grenades on the Japanese army. There is no need for a row of soldiers to take action. The two grenade launchers that occupy the advantage of the terrain only bombard the Japanese army in two rounds.
The light machine gun went out of fire, and Su Datong was able to live up to his expectations and took the opportunity to kill the Japanese soldiers who sneaked up on them with just one charge.
Su Datong was surprised by Tang Cheng's age, but Tang Cheng was surprised by the crude weapons of Su Datong's soldiers. The 13th Division of the Japanese Army was confronting the 30th Army here. Facing a powerful enemy, among Su Datong's soldiers were actually
There are still people fighting with Hanyang weapons. Tang Cheng started fighting the Japanese army in Shanghai. Although he did not have many opportunities to use rifles, until now, the rifles he has used are all Mauser rifles. Tang Cheng really wants to
How to fight the Japanese army without using Hanyang weapons?
"Thank you, Captain Tang, for your help, otherwise we would have been in dire straits." Su Datong is also an upright person. Since he received Tang Cheng's help, he should express his gratitude in person. Tang Cheng is not very old, and he is wearing more than two shell guns.
, also carrying a flower machine in his hand. This kind of weapon equipment is the only one in the 30th Army. What is especially important is that Heizi behind Tang Cheng also has a short gun each, and the heavy weapons in their hands are all water.
The Mauser rifle made Su Datong salivate when he saw it.
"You're welcome, Captain Su." Seeing Su Datong thanking him, Tang Cheng returned the favor in a decent manner, but he forgot that he was still holding a flower-branching mechanism in his hand, and while he was in a hurry, Wang Xiao behind Su Datong
The two of them laughed. When Tang Cheng and Su Datong were chatting, Heizi was already leading his men to examine the corpses of the Japanese soldiers. When Su Datong turned around and glared at Wang Xiaoer and others, Heizi and the others were already
Came back with grenades recovered from the corpses of Japanese soldiers.
"Company Commander Su, these machine guns, rifles and bullets left by the Japanese soldiers are yours. All we need are grenades. I have two Japanese 50mm grenade launchers here. We can't do without ammunition." Heizi and the others brought them back and it's almost the same.
A Japanese grenade, Tang Cheng looked at Wang Xiaoer and the others with a strange look in their eyes, and then smiled and explained.
Tang Cheng actually didn't know that Wang Xiaoer and the others' doubts came from the Japanese command knife behind Heizi and the others. Heizi and the others were from a bandit den and liked dancing with guns and sticks more than using Mauser rifles. They successfully defeated Mitsui in Kucaogou, Macheng.
From the beginning of the squadron, Heizi and the four of them fell in love with the command swords of Japanese army officers. This kind of command swords can only be worn by officers in the Japanese army. Tang Cheng often laughed at Heizi and the others for carrying Japanese swords on their backs. They were more interested in showing off than practicality.
Wang Xiaoer's doubts really came from the Japanese swords Heizi and the others were carrying. As police, if they wanted to get Japanese swords, they could only seize them on the battlefield. But Japanese swords were not easy to get.
, among the many people in Tang Cheng, four of them were carrying Japanese swords. This combat power seemed to be real. After explaining to Su Datong the reason for collecting grenades, Tang Cheng planned to say goodbye and leave. Lao Dongbei, Niu Laogui and the others also returned.
On the other side of the slope, Tangcheng didn't want them to wait too long.
"After all, they are direct descendants. Look at their weapons and equipment, and look at what we are using. No wonder they talk so arrogantly." Before Tang Cheng and the others had gone far, Wang Xiaoer was already twirling his Hanyang-made weapons and starting to mutter.
Come on. Not only Wang Xiaoer, but also some of the veterans under Su Datong are muttering about their weapons and equipment in Tangcheng. If their Northwest Army also has this weapon and equipment, the Japanese 13th Division that is confronting them will be guaranteed to come.
No reply.
"What, are you attracted to our weapons?" Liu Shitou, who was walking at the back, turned around after hearing Wang Xiaoer's comments and complaints. "Then let your Captain Su lead you."
Go grab it from the Japs. Our machine guns and cannons were all snatched from the Japs. Even though our company commander is young, he is a veteran who has fought in Shanghai and Nanjing. Even the Japs’ heavy
We also grabbed the machine gun."
"Shitou, what are you doing, hurry up and catch up." Liu Shitou followed Heizi, who had already walked a long way away from this awesome blow, and shouted back. Liu Shitou hurriedly picked up his gun and chased after him.
Tangcheng and the others left, but the discussion among Su Datong's soldiers was not over yet. Even the seizure of machine guns from the Japanese army could not attract their attention. Tangcheng and the others' mission was to search and clear out the weapons scattered here.
The Japanese scouts, after joining Lao Dongbei and Niu Laogui, the Second Company turned directly eastward to Hexi Village, two hills away.
Hexi Village does not belong to the boundaries of Macheng, but it is now within the fighting area between the Japanese and Japanese troops. According to the order of the 30th Army, the Second Company must go to Xihe Village. After climbing two hills in succession, the Second Company stopped.
After walking down, they didn’t encounter any Japanese troops along the way, which made Tangcheng feel anxious. This is the war zone where a war is about to break out. The Japanese 13th Division has more than 10,000 troops, but there is not even a single soldier here.
There were no traces of Japanese soldiers, and Tang Cheng was really worried.
"Heizi, take your people down to check out the situation. If you see the Japanese army, don't say anything. Come back and report after you see it clearly." Tangcheng, who was halfway up the mountain, looked carefully with a telescope. He was a little worried and ordered Heizi to take people down to check out the situation.
Check the situation, if there are Japanese troops here, there will be another fierce battle. As the name of Hexi Village implies, there is a small river outside the village, and the village is on the west side of the small river. Heizi and his three men walked down the mountainside with full camouflage.
, and quickly sneaked towards Hexi Village along the thatch by the river.
Hexi Village does not belong to the boundaries of Macheng, and no one from the Huang family has ever been to Hexi Village. Based on the size of the village seen in the telescope, Tangcheng inferred that the size of Hexi Village was only about a hundred households. The four of them walked along the river.
The thatch on the side hid his figure, and he looked towards the village from a distance. There were several old people sitting under the big tree at the entrance of the village. Just like the villages in Macheng, these old people should be sitting at the entrance of the village chatting, but Heizi
But I always feel that something is not quite right.
