"If you ask me, it's better to be a bandit." Liu Shitou's words made everyone squatting on the ground look up at him. Seeing Tang Cheng staring at him somewhat fiercely, Liu Shitou hurriedly shook the big bone stick in his hand and laughed.
He said, "It's good for bandits to have meat to eat and bones to chew on." Looking at Liu Shitou's face full of grease, Tang Cheng was furious, but Lao Dongbei laughed loudly.
He said that Liu Shitou was simply a bandit boy.
The two beef legs were eaten up by Tang Cheng's group. Who else would want to drink the wild vegetable soup if there was meat to eat, but Tang Cheng himself drank the wild vegetable soup with broth. Robert said that people
Vitamins are indispensable, so just eating meat is not enough. Tang Cheng, who put down the bowl, forced Liu Shitou to drink a bowl of wild vegetable soup, and then let go of Liu Shitou, who was belching repeatedly. Song Tieshan did not change places after all, and directly
They occupied the shacks built by the bandits. Tangcheng's shack was on the outermost side, not far from where Yang Xiaotian hid the boxes.
"Company Commander Tang, what are your next plans?" Although Tang Cheng and the others were too murderous, Song Tieshan still wanted to recruit the Tang Cheng people into his guerrillas, even if he had to give up his position as captain to Tang Cheng.
Okay. "Judging from what the bandits told me, the Japanese army has occupied Huangshi and has sent troops to the west. Iron Mountain is not too far from here. If you continue to go south, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble. I think it's better for you to just
Forget it, stay here in Zouma Mountain. Although the conditions here are a bit worse, you can attack, retreat or defend in Zouma Mountain, so you won’t be taken advantage of by the little devils.”
Tang Cheng did not directly answer Song Tieshan's inquiry. Fan took out a cigarette and handed one to Song Tieshan. The cigarettes smoked by the bandits were all cheap. Tang Cheng was used to smoking good cigarettes. If he were not in this Zouma Mountain now, Tang Cheng would
Cheng Shi was determined not to smoke such a bargain. He lit up his cigarette and took a puff. Then he slowly said, "Captain Song, I understand what you mean. We are just separated from the troops now. Wuhan's troops have already shrunk to Sichuan."
, when our second company transferred defenses to Xiaojieling, I still had dozens of brothers recuperating in Wuhan, and I couldn't ignore them."
"I estimate that my brothers who stayed in Wuhan to recuperate should also retreat to Sichuan. They are all brothers who have abandoned their homes and careers. I must find them." Tangcheng did not directly reject Song Tieshan's proposal, but he
The meaning of his words was very obvious. He had rejected Song Tieshan's solicitation. Seeing Song Tieshan's look a little sad, Tang Cheng smiled and said, "Captain Song, it's okay if it's just Tang Cheng alone. As long as he can fight the little devils, where can he be?"
It doesn’t matter. But you also know the temperaments of Lao Dongbei and Shitou. They are both people who cannot be restrained, and the rules of your guerrillas cannot tolerate them."
Following Tang Cheng's gaze and looking at Lao Dongbei and Liu Shitou, Song Tieshan had to admit that Tang Cheng's words made sense. Lao Dongbei was brave and had many ideas in fighting, and Liu Shitou was also a man who dared to fight for his life. But these two
One of them is full of gangster spirit, and the other is someone who takes advantage of any advantage. It is really difficult to command such people in the guerrillas. Although he understands what Tangcheng means, Song Tieshan still wants to keep Tangcheng.
Exit, "Company Commander Tang, it's not that our Eighth Route Army cannot tolerate people. We can even accommodate puppet troops and Japanese soldiers who have surrendered anyway. Naturally, your two subordinates will have no problem."
Unexpectedly, Song Tieshan was so pestering, and Tang Cheng couldn't help but feel a little headache. Using Old Northeast and Liu Shitou as excuses, he had already made his attitude clear. Do he still have to reject Song Tieshan in person? "Captain Song,
I think you don’t understand what I mean. The Second Company has never had any deserters since the Shanghai battlefield. The brothers are living today and dying tomorrow. No one knows when they will die on the battlefield.
.Since they are all men who don't care about life and death, I can't let my brothers live patiently. Not to mention enjoying life, I must at least let them live a lighter life."
"You guerrillas have too many rules. Not to mention Shitou and the others, even I can't abide by them. Old Dongbei is an upright man, and I can't let him lose his temper and fight for his life against the Japanese soldiers." Song Tieshan really said
He wanted to speak, but Tang Cheng held out his hand to stop him, "Captain Song, we have agreed before. If we can go the same way, we will go together. If not, we will go separate ways. We will rest in Zouma Mountain for two days.
If you leave, all the loot will be yours, all we need is a carriage and a few selected bandits."
Tang Cheng had already said this, and Song Tieshan knew that no matter what he said, it would be of no use, so he could only sigh secretly, sighing secretly that he had missed a person like Tang Cheng. Tang Cheng planned to stay in Zouma Mountain for two days because of Zhao Baokun's choice.
Among the bandits who came out, Lao Dongbei had good eyesight. He picked out a dozen who had served as soldiers among the bandits who surrendered. Zhao Baokun picked again and picked out a few guys who were reasonably conscientious among the dozen bandits.
, Tangcheng asked Lao Dongbei to train these bandits a little, and temporarily stopped at Zouma Mountain to make time for Lao Dongbei.
Although he understood what Tang Cheng meant, Song Tieshan did not leave in a hurry. Although he had no chance to continue fighting side by side with Tang Cheng, he would be idle for now. It would be better to have a relationship with Tang Cheng so that he could meet again in the future.
They are friends. "Captain Tang, I see you are not old enough this year, so why are you thinking of joining the army to fight? When I was your age, I was still working for the landlord's family."
"It's nothing. I'm an orphan. I was raised by an American missionary. During the Battle of Songhu, my adoptive father died in the hands of the Japanese. It happened that I met the then company commander of the Second Company, and that's how I entered the world.
I joined the second company to fight as a soldier, and after a few battles, I became the commander of the second company." Tang Cheng said it simply, but Song Tieshan knew that the hardships involved were not as simple as Tang Cheng said. The Battle of Songhu was just
What happened last year was that a man who only joined the army last year became a captain and company commander of a direct line unit of the national army in just one year. This is not something ordinary people can do.
Song Tieshan only knew that the 88th Division was a direct descendant of the national army, but he did not know that the 88th Division experienced the Battle of Nanjing after withdrawing from the Songhu battlefield. If he knew this, he would not be curious about Tangcheng's rapid promotion. The 88th Division's experience
After the Battle of Nanjing, there were heavy casualties, and after a large number of new recruits were recruited, those veterans who survived were generally promoted. Although the officer status of Tangcheng was obtained by Liu Yangyang from the Fifth War Zone, the 88th Division also recognized it.
Lying on his back next to the fire, Tang Cheng looked up at the stars. He still vaguely remembered that when he was very young, Robert always liked to hold himself and watch the stars at night, telling himself many myths and stories about the constellations. He slowly
Growing up, but Robert is getting older day by day. Now he is the only one left to look at the stars at night, but Robert has already entered the kingdom of heaven. Although he grew up in the church, Tang Cheng knows that there is nothing in this world.
Kingdom of Heaven. Tang Cheng's eyes gradually became filled with moisture. If it weren't for the damn Japanese, he might still be watching the stars with Robert.
Song Tieshan, who was sitting next to him, didn't see the moisture in Tang Cheng's eyes, but he could feel Tang Cheng's sadness at this time. He knew that Tang Cheng might be thinking of something sad. Song Tieshan couldn't say anything, so he could only remain silent.
Sitting. After a while, Tang Cheng, who gradually calmed down, sat up and said, "Captain Song, you are laughing. I just thought of my adoptive father. Without my adoptive father, there would be no Tang Cheng today."
Song Tieshan didn't know who Tang Cheng's adoptive father was, so he couldn't talk about it, so he could only comfort Tang Cheng softly and never mentioned it again. Perhaps because of thinking of Robert, Tang Cheng slept well the whole night, and even dreamed about it.
Robert and Liu Yangyang. Tang Cheng did not believe in ghosts and gods. After getting up early, Lao Dongbei mentioned this matter and was told that it was a dream from a relative. Although he did not quite believe what Lao Dongbei said, Tang Cheng told Lao Dongbei to train the bandits as soon as possible.
Zouma Mountain is definitely not a place to stay for a long time.
Most of the bandits picked out by Old Northeast had the experience of serving as soldiers and were trained much more conveniently than ordinary people. The methods used by Old Northeast were nothing more than those used by the national army. In just one morning, Tangcheng saw
Those bandits were punished a lot for disobeying Lao Dongbei's command. "Captain Tang, I'm going to go to Zhoujia'ao today. Maybe I'll come back today or tomorrow. I'll leave these wounded to your care." Tangcheng.
Liu Shitou was standing aside watching Old Northeast train the bandits, and Song Tieshan came looking for them in a hurry.
Zhoujia'ao is to the north of Zouma Mountain. Tang Cheng guessed that Song Tieshan was so anxious to go out with his injuries simply because he was looking for food, so he nodded and agreed to Song Tieshan's request. When Song Tieshan led a few guerrillas down Zouma Mountain,
Tangcheng asked Zhao Baokun to train the bandits, and called Lao Dongbei and Liu Shitou into his shack. "Song Tieshan took people to Zhoujia'ao. I guess he went to contact their people. Once there are many people coming to Mashan,
Well, it will be very troublesome to take those boxes with us when we leave."
Neither Lao Dongbei nor Liu Shitou would be happy to leave Zouma Mountain but not be able to take away this amount of money. Lao Dongbei, who was smoking, rolled up his sleeves and glared, "Whatever they are doing, anyway, the guy surnamed Song is not here today, so why not
Let's just change the terrain and hide those things. Those are Imajo and Dayo, we can't just watch and throw them away on this barren mountain."
Tang Cheng thought that there was really no other way, and then agreed to Lao Dongbei's proposal. He took Zhao Baokun to train the bandits, and asked Lao Dongbei to take Liu Shitou to move the things buried deep in the ground. He only needed to pick up the box.
Song Tieshan and the others didn't discover it when he was there, so other things were simple.
