The two people in Tangcheng and the guerrillas looked at each other with displeasure. Naturally, they couldn't talk to each other when they were cleaning the battlefield, which made Tieniu the victim of a double-talk. "Things on this hillock, we
Just take some medicine, we want a first aid kit, a grenade, and 400 rounds of bullets. All the grenades belong to us, and the rest are yours." Old Northeastern killed prisoners in front of the guerrillas without blinking an eye.
, he was also unambiguous when dividing the loot. He found more than 600 bullets in total, and he directly pulled most of them over.
"Two grenade launchers and two mortars. We only want one grenade launcher and I'll give you the other three. I just got more bullets. Don't fucking glare at me.
If you piss me off, I won't give you any of these things." The guerrillas' lack of etiquette made Lao Dongbei a little annoyed. The two mortars also carried three rounds of shells. Those things are much more valuable than grenade launchers.
.
"Let's go and have a look at Lijiapu. Shitou hasn't come back for so long. I feel a little bad." Tang Cheng was not used to talking nonsense, so he just threw an empty backpack to Lao Dongbei and asked him to put all the bullets in it.
After putting the grenades in his backpack, he carried the grenade and the medicine box and walked towards the foot of the hillock. Lao Dongbei quickly swept the bullets scattered on the ground into his backpack, and then picked up his light machine gun.
, he laughed at the man in short shirt and chased Tang Cheng away.
"It's too shameful, they are too shameless, this is the person you, Captain Song, recruited." The man in a short shirt, who was ignored by Tang Cheng and Old Northeast, jumped angrily. The two of them had no choice but to pull the iron
Niu shouted loudly. Tieniu, who couldn't be pulled away by him, was helpless. He wanted to say that these two were not members of his Lijiapu guerrillas, but the man in short shirt didn't give him a chance to speak.
So Tieniu could only stand there honestly with his head down.
The stream they had just fled to Lijiapu and Tangcheng was not in the same direction. The Mauser rifle without bullets was carried on his back by the old Northeastern who was reluctant to go back. What Tangcheng was holding now was a Japanese army.
38 rifle. Tang Cheng has no experience in close combat, so he took off the bayonet on the rifle early. Although Tang Cheng is not interested in the 38 rifle, it has a much better range than the shell gun. Besides, Tang Cheng is not interested in the 38 rifle.
They only have Arisaka rifle ammunition now.
After crossing the stream, Tangcheng and Laodongbei could vaguely hear the gunfire coming from the direction of Lijiapu, but the gunfire sounded sparse. It seemed that the situation in Lijiapu would not be very bad. Just now we were on the hillock
The continuous fierce battles with the stream consumed too much of Tang Cheng's physical strength, so he could only move forward quickly. If he ran as hard as he did in Xiaojie Ridge, Tang Cheng would not be able to bear it. "You go first, there are machine guns to help. The situation is
It will be better, I will be there soon." Seeing that Lao Dongbei's physical strength was better, Tang Cheng asked him to rush to Lijiapu to help him, but he had better stay behind and try his best to follow up.
Old Dongbei was overjoyed when he heard this, and then strode forward with his light machine gun in his hand. But before he could run far, he suddenly lay down on his face, and Tang Cheng, who was following behind, chased him at a staggering pace. "Ahead.
"Someone" Old Dongbei lowered his voice. Tang Cheng, who was also lying down, picked up the telescope hanging on his chest and looked forward. There were only three people running towards him, and they were all familiar faces to Tang Cheng. Half of their faces were covered with blood.
The bloody Liu Shitou was holding Xiao Lian and Han Zhuo one by one and running towards him.
"It's Shitou and two men from the Han family who are here. It seems that the situation in Li's shop is very bad, otherwise Shitou wouldn't have run out with the two children." When Tang Cheng spoke, he had already stood up and greeted him.
, Lao Dongbei was just stunned for a moment before he got up and followed. Liu Shitou's Mauser rifle had long since disappeared, and he only had a short gun left on him. When he saw two figures suddenly appeared in front of him, Liu Shitou
He hurriedly pushed the two men of the Han family to the ground, reached out and took out the short gun from his waist, intending to fight to the death.
"Shitou, don't shoot, it's us." When they were far away, Tang Cheng shouted. According to Liu Shitou's character, he might have already loaded the bullet and was ready to fire. Tang Cheng's shout
The sound made Liu Shitou relax, and Liu Shitou, who instantly softened, slumped on the ground like a grass snake without bones and muscles. He waited until Tang Cheng and Old Northeast came to him, but Liu Shitou still hadn't recovered.
"Shitou, what are you talking about? What's going on with Lijiapu? What's going on with the guerrillas? Why are there only the three of you?" Tang Cheng half-knelt beside Liu Shitou and looked in the direction of Lijiapu with a telescope.
, Lao Dongbei stared at Liu Shitou with a pair of bull's eyes, but the latter just looked blank in response to his inquiry. "Drink some water, just drink some water and you'll be fine. I'm exhausted. Just slow down and you'll be fine."
Liu Shitou was confused. Lao Dongbei laid Liu Shitou flat and put his head on his lap. He took out a kettle and fed Liu Shitou water, trying to help Liu Shitou recover.
The plume of smoke rising from Lijiapu had become much smaller. Han Zhuo couldn't tell what happened in Lijiapu. He only said that there was a war inside and many people died, but he still couldn't explain why. According to Tang Dynasty
As Cheng Cheng has always done, he should turn around and leave at this moment, but there are still three members of the Han family in the village, as well as their carriage. Without the carriage, the food and the two children, Tang Cheng doesn't know what will happen next.
what to do.
Liu Shitou couldn't recover for a while, and Tang Cheng couldn't make a judgment. A dozen figures appeared in the distance. Old Dongbei, who was sitting on the ground, stretched out his hand and dragged the light machine gun to his side, and whispered to Tang Cheng that guerrillas were
The people from the team arrived. Tang Cheng turned around and saw that the man in a short shirt who was pointing a gun at Old Northeast on the hillock was also among them, but walking at the front were Tieniu and Gouzi. They were members of the Li family.
The guerrillas in the shop saw the smoke column from Li's shop still lingering, so naturally they were the most anxious.
"Company Commander Tang, are you also going to Li's Shop? Then we are really on the road, why not come together." Apparently Tieniu and Gouzi asked about their origins in Tangcheng. The man in short shirt seemed to have forgotten just now.
What happened on the hillock? When talking to Tang Cheng, he was very enthusiastic. He glanced sideways at Tieniu and Gouzi. One of them lowered his head and said nothing, while the other moved his gaze to the side, both with expressions of self-blame.
, making Tang Cheng feel amused by the simplicity of the two.
"You guys go first. My brother is a little exhausted and has not recovered yet. I have to wait for him to recover before entering the village." Tang Cheng did not directly refuse the goodwill released by the other party, so he could only use Liu Shitou as an excuse. He had just recovered some strength.
Liu Shitou just wanted to sit up, but Lao Dongbei stretched out his hand and pressed him firmly on his leg. Tang Cheng refused tactfully, and the man in short shirt couldn't say anything, so he could only lead his dozen or so guerrillas in a hurry
Run towards Li's shop.
Looking at the retreating figure, Old Dongbei said with a ferocious smile, "Let these reckless guys go for a walk first, and we will watch from behind. If the situation goes wrong, we still have time to withdraw." Tang Cheng agreed very much.
Nodding. There were also wounded in the guerrillas, just a hundred meters behind the men in short shirts. When the wounded guerrillas who were supporting each other came over, Tang Cheng entrusted the two children of the Han family to their care.
Take Liu Shitou and Lao Dongbei to Lijiapu.
While walking and asking, not far away, Tangcheng already understood the current situation of Lijiapu from Liu Shitou's narrative. It was not the Japanese army that caused chaos in Lijiapu, but a group of people who had been entrenched in Huahu Town all year round.
The surrounding bandits, this group of bandits originally only kidnapped people to survive, but for some reason they suddenly surrounded Lijiapu and threatened to ask Lijiapu to give him two cows and 500 kilograms of grain. The few guerrillas who stayed in the village
The individual opened fire with this group of bandits. Unexpectedly, the bandits directly set fire to the village. Song Tieshan was leading his men and fighting with the bandits in the village.
"Uncle Han and sister-in-law are dead. Brother Han has separated from us. I can only take my two younger brothers to find you." Liu Shitou did not dare to look at Tang Cheng, so he could only lower his head and whisper. In fact, he
He didn't know that Tang Cheng didn't blame him. Tang Cheng just felt strange. He was wondering about the behavior of this group of bandits. He had seen a lot of bandits, but Tang Cheng had never seen any bandits who dared to fight with the guerrillas, especially this group of bandits.
It was such a coincidence that it appeared just as the guerrillas were going out to attack the Japanese army.
Five or six hundred meters away from the village, the gunshots in the village began to become thicker. Tang Cheng knew that those guerrillas had joined the battle. "Something is wrong." Old Dongbei suddenly reached out and grabbed Tang Cheng, with a gloomy look on his face.
He closed his eyes and listened carefully. After a while, Lao Dongbei opened his eyes and said with certainty, "The people in the village are not bandits, but little devils. The gunfire just now was mixed with the sound of light machine guns, and
The light machine gun I have is a tune."
Both Tang Cheng and Liu Shitou knew what Lao Dongbei meant. The machine gun in Lao Dongbei's hand was captured by the Japanese army. This is Lijiapu. The bandits could not have the Japanese machine gun. The only explanation was as Lao Dongbei affirmed.
, those who were fighting with the guerrillas in the village were not bandits but Japanese soldiers, a group of Japanese soldiers disguised as bandits. The three of Tang Cheng could not help but speed up their pace. Tang Cheng gave Liu Shitou the 38 rifle and magazine in his hand, and he
It's better to carry those two rifles and fight in the streets in the village. Short guns are easier to use than rifles.
The situation in the village is not as pessimistic as Tangcheng imagined. There are dozens of households in Lijiapu, and there are only a few dozen Japanese soldiers disguised as bandits. They only occupy the north of the village. Song Tieshan, who is struggling to support himself, leads him
The only four remaining team members occupied a courtyard in the middle of the village. The guerrilla team that entered the village later was trying to drive the bandits scattered in the village to the northeast of the village. When the three people from Tangcheng entered the village, the village was already full.
