Tang Cheng didn't understand what kind of house the ** was, but he also heard Liu Yangyang talk about the relationship between the ** and the National Government. So facing Song Tieshan's doubts, Tang Cheng just shook his head and said nothing, but the more he became like this,
Song Tieshan wanted to find out more about this matter. Seeing the impatience on Song Tieshan's face, Tang Cheng thought of an important matter that he could use to change the subject, "Captain Song, I didn't know that your guerrillas were at Li's house."
How many troops do we have? Did we encounter Japanese soldiers on the way here?"
"What did you say?" If Song Tieshan could still sit still just now, then he is on the verge of going berserk now. Song Tieshan suddenly stood up, which startled Ali's Ouba. Without waiting for Tangcheng to issue an order, Laodongbei reached out and
He took out the shell gun tucked inside his coat. "What do you want to do? Put down the gun, I said you put down the gun." After arriving in Laodongbei, Liu Shitou and Mengzi also put up their guns, but Liu Shitou
He didn't say a word, but Mengzi and the others roared again and again.
"Mengzi, you guys put down your guns, put them down." Although they were unwilling, under Song Tieshan's scolding, Mengzi and the other guerrillas lowered their guns angrily. Lao Dongbei and Liu Shitou also took Tangcheng's signal.
He put away the shell gun. Pastor Song Tieshan sat down again and asked Tang Cheng, "Brother Tang, who are you? Although I, Song Tieshan, am a rough man, I will never be able to shoot someone behind the back, but if you don't
Tell your true identity, then don't blame me for detaining you here."
The already calm courtyard instantly returned to a tense situation because of Song Tieshan's words. Laodongbei pointed his gun at Song Tieshan's head, while Mengzi's rifle was also pointed at Tang Cheng's head. The heads of Tang Cheng and Song Tieshan were not far away from the muzzle of the gun.
At one meter, whether it is Lao Dongbei or Mengzi, any one of them just needs to click their fingers, and a fight that will hurt both sides is inevitable. "Captain Song, is this the situation you want? I told you all
If you are not an enemy, why are you forcing yourself so hard?" Tang Cheng, who looked calm, picked up the kettle on the table and poured himself a bowl of water, completely using the rifle in Mengzi's hand as a fire stick.
Song Tieshan didn't know that Tang Cheng was still worried. He was afraid that Mengzi, a reckless man, would really pull the trigger, and then he would lose more than he gained. But the more Tang Cheng pretended to be calm, the more Song Tieshan felt towards Tang Cheng.
His curiosity became more and more intense. After listening to Tang Cheng's words, Song Tieshan asked Mengzi and the others to put down their rifles. But in a flash, he asked Tang Cheng the same question he just asked. He was still very interested in the details of Tang Cheng.
"My name is Tang Cheng, commander of the 2nd Company of the 1st Battalion of the 524th Regiment of the 88th Division. I was injured in a battle with the Japanese army in Xiaojie Ridge and was rescued and moved to Xishui County. This time I crossed the river to escort Mr. Han and his family to rebel.
"Tang Cheng had no choice but to explain his identity, which shocked Song Tieshan. The 88th Division is a direct line unit of the Communist Party of China. I heard that most of the officers in this direct line unit have attended military academies. I can't see it.
Such a young boy from Tangcheng was actually a member of the 88th Division and a captain and company commander.
Song Tieshan was shocked, but the fierce man behind him was a little disapproving. It was just three defeated Kuomintang troops. He also said that he was so nice that the people escorting the Han family were rebelling. It would be better to just say that he was afraid of death and crossed the river to escape.
Mengzi is a straight-tempered person. He can't hide his thoughts on his face when he is unhappy, and unconsciously muttered "Baigouzi". Tangcheng was forced to join the second company by Xie Bo and Liu Yangyang. Liu Yang
Shitou was another one who followed Liu Yangzi to fill his stomach. Even Lao Dongbei didn't know what Bai Gouzi meant, but Song Tieshan glared at Mengzi and almost drove Mengzi out of the yard.
After figuring out the identities of Tang Cheng and others, Song Tieshan turned the topic back to the Japanese soldiers Tang Cheng mentioned. "We are not very familiar with the terrain in this area, but the place where the Japanese soldiers are hiding is not far from the Li family."
They can't cover more than seven or eight miles of ground, and their number should be about a small team, with two light machine guns and two mortars. As for whether they have other coordinated troops, we don't know."
The intelligence provided by Tang Cheng was very important, at least in Song Tieshan's view, but his guerrilla team had only been established for two months. Counting those who used swords and spears, there were only 43 people. He wanted to fight a small team.
Japanese soldiers, his guerrillas are obviously not good enough. "Captain Tang, you have dealt with the Japs. In your opinion, is it possible for our guerrillas to exchange fire with these Japs?" Song Tieshan, who could not figure out a way, wanted to
He asked Tangcheng for advice on how to retreat from the enemy, but since Mengzi and the others were still present, Song Tieshan had to change his method of inquiry.
Tang Cheng didn't expect that Song Tieshan would ask him for a solution, but Li's shop was his property, and he was considered a guest here. Since Song Tieshan asked, Tang Cheng couldn't pretend to know anything. "We are here.
On the way, we found several good ambush points. If the firepower is properly deployed and the manpower is sufficient, it is not impossible to intercept this Japanese squad." Tang Cheng's words made Song Tieshan overjoyed, but Tang Cheng learned that Song Tieshan's guerrillas only had 43 people.
At that time, I was completely dumbfounded.
"Captain Song, don't be ridiculous. You only have 43 people, and you are seriously short of guns and ammunition. In this situation, there is only one suggestion I can give you, and that is to send scouts to detect the movements of the Japanese army, and then command your guerrillas.
Evacuate quickly, you have no chance of defeating the Japanese army." Song Tieshan's answer made Tangcheng dumbfounded. The entire guerrilla army only had one Japanese-style light machine gun, less than 20 rifles, and only 5 grenades. Such a weapon configuration
A small team with a large number of people who wanted to intercept the Japanese army was simply going to die.
"We have to fight even if we can't defeat them. We guerrillas cannot be afraid of death. There are mostly women, children, old people and weak people in the village. Just for them, our guerrillas have to compete with this group of Japanese soldiers." Song Tieshan's words made Mengzi and the others straighten their backs.
Especially when Liu Shitou looked at Mengzi, the latter even gave Liu Shitou a disdainful roll of his eyes.
However, Tang Cheng was not intimidated by Song Tieshan's words. It had been a while since he told Song Tieshan that the Japanese army was only a few miles away from here, but Song Tieshan was just taking his time and had no time to go out for reconnaissance.
He also didn't gather his guerrillas to assign tasks. Tang Cheng guessed that Song Tieshan either didn't tell the truth to him or that he already had a backup plan. Everything that needed to be said had been made clear, but Song Tieshan still kept asking questions.
Tang Cheng didn't know what kind of medicine Song Tieshan was selling in his gourd, so he could only patiently chat with Song Tieshan here.
About half an hour later, a man with sweat on his face ran into the yard and whispered a few words in Song Tieshan's ear. Tang Cheng saw Song Tieshan's expression change. "Company Commander Tang, my people have discovered it."
The traces of the Japanese soldiers are in Hushan Village, which is 5 miles away from here. I am going to ambush these Japanese soldiers at the Laojun Temple outside Hushan Village. Are you interested in following along to have a look? You have all fought with the Japanese soldiers.
Then you can help me with my advice." Song Tieshan's words made Old Northeast eager to give it a try. When Tang Cheng saw Liu Shitou looking at him longingly, he could only sigh secretly and nodded to Song Tieshan.
"You two are restless. What evil did I do in my previous life? Why did I get to know you two in this life?" Tang Cheng actually longed for a battle with the Japanese army, but in front of Lao Dongbei and Li Shitou
In front of him, he had to pretend to be unhappy. The time for Song Tieshan to assemble the team was much shorter than Tangcheng expected. If there was no extra time, after the team was assembled, Song Tieshan ordered Mengzi to lead the team to
Starting from Laojun Temple, he himself accompanied the three people from Tangcheng and fell at the end.
He originally thought that the Tangcheng trio were elite and might not be able to keep up with the marching speed of the guerrillas, but Song Tieshan never expected that the Tangcheng trio’s marching speed was not inferior to Mengzi and the others. More than 40 guerrillas were running in front of the
In the field, under the leadership of Mengzi, they marched quickly towards Laojun Temple. After running two miles, the three people from Tangcheng had already reached the middle of the queue. When they reached Laojun Temple, the three people from Tangcheng were already rushing in.
to the front.
The place chosen by Song Tie was called Laojun Temple, but there was no temple as expected by Tangcheng. After Song Tieshan’s explanation, Tangcheng learned that Laojun Temple was just a place name randomly called by the locals. In fact, there was no temple here.
A human-traveled mountain ridge. The mountain road to Lijiapu is close to the mountain ridge. Tangcheng and the others also walked here when they came. Compared with Song Tieshan's plan to deploy the guerrillas halfway up the mountain, Tangcheng was more inclined to place the guerrillas there.
The team was deployed on the other side of the mountain road.
"Captain Song, there is no problem with the physical strength of your team members, but your weapons are insufficient, and your ammunition is even more insufficient. You placed them halfway up the mountain to seemingly take advantage of the terrain, but the lack of weapons and ammunition doomed you to be unable to use them.
To suppress the Japanese army with firepower, instead of waiting halfway up the mountain to be covered by Japanese machine guns and mortars, it is better to ambush directly on this side of the mountain road, take advantage of your abundant physical strength, and engage in close combat with the Japanese army. In this way, you may still win.
possible."
Tang Cheng's suggestion made Song Tieshan shake his head repeatedly, "I think it's better to forget it. We have few people, so naturally we have to be more cautious. This group of Japanese soldiers is followed by a brother army. Our mission is to stop this group of Japanese soldiers at Laojun Temple."
Soldiers, try to delay and bite them to buy time for the brother troops to arrive." Although Song Tieshan did not adopt his suggestion, he finally forced Song Tieshan to reveal his next move. Tang Cheng was quite satisfied with this answer.
It shouldn't be difficult to hold back the Japanese troops here.
