"Did we kill the wrong person?" Waiting for Liu Shitou and Han Shanhu to go down the slope with those rifles, Old Northeast approached Tang Cheng and asked in a low voice. Liu Shitou and Han Shanhu were the ones who led down the slope.
These were some domestically made rifles. The Japanese army generally did not use domestically made weapons, and they did not find any items related to the Japanese army on the corpses. The only two grenade launchers that Tangcheng could identify did not have ammunition.
It also makes sense that the man captured it from the Japanese army.
"You are stupid. If these people are not Japanese soldiers, why are they all behaving like veterans? If they were defeated by the Japanese army, why would they change into civilian clothes? Isn't it better to wear military uniforms than to act like civilians?
It's convenient." Rubbing the purple bruise on his thigh that was knocked out by the tree trunk, Tang Cheng glanced at Old Northeast helplessly. At first, Tang Cheng also thought that he had made a wrong judgment, but he was blocked by the three Japanese soldiers in the tree.
Afterwards, he clearly heard the other party talking a few words in Japanese. Although Tang Cheng heard it very vaguely, he was sure that the other party spoke Japanese.
Old Dongbei thought carefully about what Tang Cheng said just now, and it seemed that he was right. What's more, the other party had clearly seen him and Tang Cheng wearing Japanese military uniforms. If these people were really just refugees or defeated Japanese troops, they would definitely not
Continue the attack. "Look, this is the Japanese crotch cloth. Who among the Chinese would wear such a thing?" Tang Cheng used the bayonet in his hand to pick open the trousers of a Japanese soldier's corpse. The white crotch cloth on the lower body of the corpse was even more...
This confirmed Tang Cheng’s judgment.
Only then did Lao Dongbei feel relieved. He held up the short gun in his hand. He and Tang Cheng covered each other and searched the surrounding area carefully. After confirming that there was no danger here, he turned back and went down the slope with the loot. "
Commander, you are finally back, and Uncle Han even asked us to go up and have a look." Seeing Tang Cheng and Lao Dongbei coming down with the loot, Liu Shitou, who had been squatting behind the carriage, came up with a shell gun.
"Is it possible that we two grown-ups still can't find our way back? You little thing, what are you so idle about?" Lao Dongbei cursed with a smile, took two of the rifles on his shoulders and gave them to Liu Shitou to carry.
.The rifles seized were all domestically made weapons. Tangcheng didn’t know where these Japanese soldiers obtained the domestically made weapons. However, Old Man Han kept playing with a rifle and praised it as much better than his shotgun.
.
"Uncle Han, you are telling the truth. Your shotgun can compete with this Hanyang-made rifle. The bullets fired from this thing will make a bloody hole in your body. Your shotgun is only a small hole at most, and its power is much worse."
” Liu Shitou loaded the rifle on the carriage while joking with Old Man Han, but the latter was completely immersed in his own world and ignored Liu Shitou’s jokes. 10 domestically made rifles, 2
Short guns, more than 400 rounds of ammunition, and 2 grenade launchers without ammunition, this was all that Tang Cheng and the others seized. Tang Cheng and Lao Dongbei could not find anything on those corpses that could indicate their identities.
Back on the road, Liu Shitou took over Lao Dongbei's position and helped drive the carriage. The latter and Tang Cheng were sitting on the same carriage and chatting in low voices. Tang Cheng didn't need such an arrangement, but they were chatting on the top of the slope.
After fighting for a while, Liu Shitou and the others did not see a single figure on the avenue. Tang Cheng was a little surprised at the emergence of this situation. In order to guard against possible dangers, he had to transfer Lao Dongbei to stay with him.
On a carriage.
"I was surprised. After we left Xishui County, there were many pedestrians along the way, but when we got to this section, we couldn't see anyone. Anyway, we fired and fired grenades for a while, but nothing happened.
There should be someone who can hear me, but after such a long time, I still haven’t seen anyone." Tang Cheng, who was bored, looked back from the carriage. Except for the carriage driven by Liu Shitou, there was only one person in Tang Cheng.
Saw an empty highway.
"Are there disguised Japanese soldiers ahead? It's impossible for the little devils to send just one team of people to infiltrate. Those Japanese bastards have many tricks up their sleeves." Lao Dongbei lazily continued with a cigarette in his mouth.
After confirming that those people were Japanese soldiers, this idea kept echoing in his mind. Seeing Tang Cheng smiling at him, Lao Dongbei couldn't help but get a little angry, "I'm not afraid of death, we only have
There are a few people here, so I’m afraid that they’ll make a fuss and hurt those two children.”
Lao Dongbei's explanation seemed a bit hollow, but Tang Cheng knew very well that Lao Dongbei was definitely not a person who was afraid of death, and Tang's smile just now was indeed not a joke about Lao Dongbei's fear of death. "You know that's not what I was laughing at." Seeing that Lao Dongbei was afraid of death,
Getting impatient, Tang Cheng snatched half of the cigarette out of Lao Dongbei's mouth and took a puff, "I never thought that you, Lao Dongbei, could think about problems. This is a good sign. Company Commander Xie once told me that a qualified officer
Not only must they be able to lead their soldiers to fight the enemy bravely, but they must also learn to think, because only officers who can think have the potential to save lives in adversity."
"I don't understand what you're talking about. I'm just a fool. I just obey orders and don't care about so many things. I'm so tired." After snatching back only a small section of the cigarette from Tang Cheng, Lao Dongbei said
Lying on his back in the carriage, he chewed a cigarette butt. Looking at Old Dongbei's seemingly tough but lonely face, Tang Cheng discovered that Old Dongbei was also a man with the same story as Liu Yangyang, but Tang Cheng had his own
Being reserved, he would not ask if Lao Dongbei didn't tell him, but he believed that one day Lao Dongbei would take the initiative to mention his own affairs.
The carriage drove slowly on the deserted road. Han Shanhu and Liu Shitou were paying attention to the surrounding movements while driving. They waited until the carriage safely walked out of the hilly area. Then Han Shanhu and Liu Shitou secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As expected,
The danger did not appear, and Laodongbei and Tangcheng relaxed somewhat. Facing the unknown road ahead, Tangcheng even wanted all his predictions of danger to be wrong.
There was already vague smoke visible in the front, indicating that there were already villages and towns ahead. Tang Cheng, who was on the carriage, began to think about the problems he would face after sending the Han family across the river. The Han family was not a poor family, but it was also a farmer's family.
The family didn't have many valuable items or money. After crossing the river, a family of five would need to eat, sleep, and wear clothes. This all cost money. The little money that Old Man Han brought with him could last them for two or three months at most.
livelihood.
Tangcheng and the others are not related to the Han family, but Old Man Han has saved his own life after all, so he can't just send the five members of the Han family across the river and just ignore it. Except for the money left to Jiujin and the others from the second company, the rest
They were all replaced by gold bars and oceans and were managed by Niu Laogui and Liu Shitou. When he was ordered to move to the front line of Xiaojieling, Liu Shitou gave the bag containing gold bars and oceans to Niu Laogui to save trouble.
As a result, the money disappeared along with Niu Laogui in the Japanese artillery fire.
If it weren't for the two gold bars sewn into the corners of Tang Cheng's military uniform, they wouldn't even have the money to buy a carriage. Liu Shitou only has the last two pieces of gold left on him. Tang Cheng doesn't know what he can do with this little money.
"Why are you wasting your time? The war is in chaos now. The rifles we captured are just sitting idle. Why don't we just find a landlord to sell them and that's it? They are so timid and afraid of death. You take them out."
They all dare to buy door cannons." Tang Cheng's frown directly affected Old Northeast. Seeing that Tang Cheng was extremely worried about this matter, Old Northeast came up with an idea.
Tangcheng is no stranger to dumping guns and ammunition. He did this with Liu Yangyang in Mengcheng. When he left Mengcheng and went south, he also secretly sold weapons and ammunition to the guerrillas. When he left Macheng, he did it even more
He has resold hundreds of firearms and ammunition. Tang Cheng just got into trouble and forgot that he had such an experience. After listening to the reminder from the old Northeast, Tang Cheng immediately realized that the 10 rifles and more than 400 rifles on the carriage were
Bullets are worth a lot of money.
"Well, you're right. Then let's find a suitable place to get rid of these things on the road. We won't cause trouble when we cross the river. I don't know why. Don't take action with the short gun. I'll leave it to you and the stone.
." After finding a solution to the problem, Tang Cheng's mood suddenly improved. Although the future was bleak, having a gun and money in his hand still made Tang Cheng somewhat at ease.
"Are we really going to Sichuan? Aren't we going back to the 88th Division?" The last cigarette on his body had been smoked, and the idle old Dongbei began to tease Tangcheng. He knew what the 88th Division meant to Tangcheng.
So his talk always revolved around the 88th Division. Tang Gao had no idea whether to return to the 88th Division. The three of him had separated from the remaining soldiers of the Second Company. How was the fight at Xiaojie Ridge? Tang Gao
Cheng's eyes completely darkened and he didn't know anything.
It's not that Tang Cheng has never thought about returning to the front line of Xiaojieling, but judging from the current situation analysis, the purpose of the Japanese army's southward movement has been confirmed. Tang Cheng doesn't know whether the 88th Division can stop the Japanese army from continuing to move south, but he knows that the three of them are absolutely invincible.
It is difficult to return to the front line of Xiaojieling. Faced with Lao Dongbei's inquiry, Tang Cheng shook his head in confusion, "I don't know, take it step by step. The most important thing is to send Old Man Han and his family across the river first, and then send them to Xiu
After the water, the three of us will discuss it."
"You have the final say. Who made you the company commander? We who are the top soldiers have a hard life. We will do whatever the commander says." Old Dongbei made a self-deprecating joke that made Tang Cheng laugh.
He knew that Lao Dongbei said these words on purpose. "Don't be too happy too early. We secretly inquired when we went to the county town to buy a carriage. It is not that easy to cross the river. I heard that the boats on the riverside have long been docked.
The defense troops have been mobilized, and now the boats on the river are all small boats. Small boats can transport people, but what about the carriages we bought with money? We can't throw them away."
