As Tang Cheng had guessed, Song Tieshan, who returned to Zouma Mountain the next day, brought back another guerrilla team of more than 20 people and hundreds of civilians. "Captain Tang, this is Captain Qian of the Ruanwan guerrillas. These are Captain Qian."
His guerrillas." Song Tieshan took the man in gray to find Tangcheng and introduced the two parties to each other. Although Tangcheng didn't know where Ruanwan Village was, he was surprised by the survivability of the Eighth Route Army's guerrillas. It had only been a week.
In that time, he had already seen three guerrilla groups.
Qian Guangtu was slightly startled when he learned that the young man in front of him was the captain of the national army. Just like Song Tieshan when he learned Tang Cheng's identity for the first time, Qian Guangtu was also surprised by Tang Cheng's youth. Tang Cheng and Qian Guang
When Tu met for the first time, they inevitably exchanged a few pleasantries. After everyone sat down, Tangcheng realized that Qian Guangtu’s Ruanwan guerrillas had also been attacked by Japanese infiltration troops. Fortunately, they had discovered it early.
, this allowed Qian Guangtu to escape with the people of Ruanwan Village.
"I don't know the exact number of people, but one of my team members saw that they have two crooked machine guns and two small cannons." Qian Guangtu said carefully, but Tang Cheng laughed repeatedly in his heart. It seems that this Captain Qian
There was no fighting with the Japanese army at all. The Japanese infiltration troops crossing the river were all dressed in civilian clothes. If one of Qian Guangtu's team members hadn't seen the crooked machine guns mounted on the ox carts by the Japanese army, perhaps the entire Ruanwan Village would have been killed by the Japanese army.
It was all gone.
With Song Tieshan's narration, Tangcheng finally figured out the approximate location of Ruanwan Village. This Ruanwan Village is close to Egong Mountain, between Huahu Town and Tingzu Town, and is only separated from Zhoujiaao by a flower.
Ma Lake. After discovering the Japanese troops disguised as ordinary people, Qian Guangtu led his guerrillas to protect the people in the village on board the boat and hid in Huama Lake. He happened to bump into Song Tieshan who was running to Zhoujia'ao, and was knocked out by Song Tieshan.
After being deceived, Qian Guangtu and his guerrillas followed him to Zouma Mountain.
"Most of our guerrillas are natives and are very familiar with the terrain in this area. Although we cannot confront the Japanese army head-on, we can rely on our familiarity with the terrain to fight guerrillas with the Japanese army." Song Tieshan
The words made Qian Guangtu nod repeatedly. Tang Cheng had already experienced Song Tieshan's ability to deceive people. If it weren't for the fact that he still had people and things he cared about, maybe Tang Cheng would really stay and help Song Tieshan fight guerrillas in this area.
As there were more people in Zouma Mountain, the troubles naturally gradually increased. Song Tieshan was already exhausted from the food, drink and shelter of hundreds of people. Fortunately, the bandits had food in stock, and Qian Guangtu and the others left Ruanwan Village.
I also brought some food with me, and saving a little would be enough for them to survive the new year. But there are not only guerrillas and ordinary people on Zouma Mountain, but also hundreds of bandits who have laid down their weapons and surrendered. According to the words of the old Northeast, they will starve to death.
He deserved it, but Song Tieshan was not the old Northeast, and the Eighth Route Army did not kill prisoners.
"Company Commander, I think we'd better go. If we drink wild vegetable porridge for a few more days, I'm afraid I won't be able to wear these pants." Liu Shitou, who was running around all day, was the fastest to get hungry. He took more than half of the bowl of wild vegetable porridge.
He poured it into his stomach by raising his neck and pouring it into his stomach. As soon as he put down the bowl, he hurriedly tightened the belt again. Tang Cheng knew that Liu Shitou's words just now were complaining to him about not having enough food, so he turned around with a smile.
To Lao Dongbei, the latter also looked like a dish. His appetite was larger than that of Tang Cheng and Liu Shitou plus one. Liu Shitou was so hungry that he had to tighten his belt, so how could Lao Dongbei endure it.
Counting the bandits who were trained by Zhao Baokun and Lao Dongbei all day long, Tangcheng now has 10 more people. But now they can't even eat enough. How can they still have the strength to fight the Japanese army? Tangcheng also knows that this is not the case.
This is a matter of fact, but the news brought back by the traffic officers Song Tieshan sent out to contact his superiors was not very good. After the Japanese Gao Pinbiao detachment captured Huangshi, they sent troops to occupy Tieshan, Daye and Jinniu Town. If Tangcheng insists on going south, it will inevitably
Encountered Japanese troops on the way.
The terrain to the west of Zouma Mountain is mostly lakes and swamps. In such terrain, Tangcheng's small force cannot use flexible tactics to respond to the enemy. The only way out is to follow Xianning and Tongcheng south to Changsha.
As long as we entered the Kuomintang-controlled area, things would be easy to handle. However, the news brought back by Song Tieshan's traffic officers made Tangcheng hesitant and difficult to make a decision. Although taking the land route could provide some room for maneuver, the chance of encountering the Japanese army was much higher.
, there are only 11 of them in Tangcheng, and once they encounter the Japanese army, it will be a bloody battle.
"If you ask me, let's go overland. It's not like we haven't fought against the Japs before. We're not even kept in places like Xiaojieling. We're just scattered troops of the Japs. What's there to be afraid of?" said Lao Dongbei, the leader.
One person who agrees to take the land route is a standard landlubber. If he moves westward through lakes and swamps, Lao Dongbei is afraid that he will fall into the water and drown. Liu Shitou is also not familiar with water. He heard Lao Dongbei say that he should take the land route.
, and nodded in agreement.
The only ones called by Tang Cheng to discuss countermeasures were Lao Dongbei, Liu Shitou and Zhao Baokun. Lao Dongbei and Liu Shitou both agreed to take the overland route, but Zhao Baokun had no idea. Tang Cheng could only decide to take the overland route to Changsha first. Let's go.
Just left, Lao Dongbei took the others to pack, while Tang Cheng took Liu Shitou to find Song Tieshan. After all, he had defeated the Japanese army. Not saying hello when leaving seemed a bit petty. Besides, Tang Cheng still needed a fight.
The carriage is dressed up.
"What? Are you leaving now?" After hearing Tang Cheng's intention, Song Tieshan couldn't sit still. He thought that Tang Cheng had not said anything about leaving Zouma Mountain in the past few days, so Tang Cheng decided not to leave.
Why did he suddenly say that he was leaving again, and that he was leaving immediately? Qian Guangtu didn’t know Song Tieshan’s intentions, and after all, Tang Cheng and the others were members of the national army, so Qian Guangtu said goodbye to Tang Cheng and the others and left.
The picture doesn't say anything.
"Although the Japanese army has occupied Jinniu Town, the troops they occupied Huangshi are just a detachment. From Huangshi to Jinniu Town, it is impossible for the Japanese army to take strict precautions. We will always find a way south. Besides, the Japanese army should not have enough troops at this time.
If we wait any longer, I'm afraid that the road going south is really blocked and it will be difficult for us to go south." Seeing that Tang Cheng was obviously determined to leave Zouma Mountain, Song Tieshan could only sigh secretly and said
He said something like "take care on the road".
There are horse-drawn carriages and ox-carts on Zouma Mountain. As agreed in advance, Tang Cheng asked for a carriage from Song Tieshan. In addition to the carriage he drove from Lijiapu, Tang Cheng had two carriages on hand.
Carriage. "Captain Tang, we have captured a lot of Japanese weapons in Lijia Pu. In this way, I will give you 10 more rifles and 500 rounds of ammunition. If you encounter a kid on the road, you will have something to rely on for self-defense."
"Song Tieshan simply acted as a good man and loaded 10 more rifles and 500 rounds of ammunition into Tangcheng's carriage. Liu Shitou's eyes narrowed in joy.
Tang Cheng wanted to refuse, but in a blink of an eye he accepted Song Tieshan's kindness. Tang Cheng himself looked down on Japanese weapons, but the bandits he had captured needed weapons. Now is the time of war, and guns and ammunition are needed.
They are both hard currency and cigarettes. If we meet the rich man who loves money as much as his life, these Japanese weapons may become the ocean. "Company Commander, this Captain Song is not bad. He gave us the gun."
They are all 90% new." Sitting on the carriage, Liu Shitou looked through the rifles and chatted happily to Tang Cheng.
Tangcheng was not as happy as Liu Shitou, "You know what the hell, we are going south to enter the Kuomintang-controlled area. Originally, our group could easily be misunderstood as bandits when we get together, and we are also carrying Japanese rifles.
Aren't you afraid that we will be shot by the National Army on the road to the Japanese spies?" Liu Shitou was startled by Tang Cheng's words. The combat effectiveness of the National Army troops may be strong or weak, and their military discipline may be good or bad. If we really encounter
In the situation mentioned by Tang Cheng, he might actually be killed as a Japanese soldier.
Liu Shitou was obviously greatly offended by Tang Cheng's words. They had already bid farewell to Song Tieshan and they got off the Zouma Mountain in a carriage. Liu Shitou, who was sitting on the carriage, still had a worried look on his face. The unclear old Northeast came from Tang Cheng.
After learning the reason, he laughed happily, jokingly saying that there are still things that Liu Shitou is afraid of. The group of people drove the carriage out of the distance. After Tang Cheng stood on the carriage and looked carefully through the binoculars, he asked Zhao Baokun to take the few
A bandit took the first step, and he and Lao Dongbei went into the woods on the roadside.
The boxes that Yang Xiaotian had hidden in the bandit camp had long been moved elsewhere by Lao Dongbei, who took the opportunity to train the bandits. Tangcheng and Lao Dongbei climbed back over a hill in the direction they left, and picked up the boxes from under a pile of rubble.
The boxes were found. Only Lao Dongbei and Liu Shitou had seen those boxes and the contents in them. This was the first time that Tang Cheng saw these boxes. Just as Liu Shitou had pointed out to himself, these boxes containing gold bars and oceans were indeed incompatible.
It's called a box.
"I have counted them all, 55 gold bars, 800 yuan, 28 pieces of jade, and 14 pieces of gold and silver jewelry. These are enough for us to buy land, build a house, and marry a wife." Tangcheng looked at the contents of one box after another.
After reading each item in Tangcheng, Lao Dongbei put one in a sack. If he hadn't been afraid that the jades and jewelry would be damaged, he might have even wanted to throw away the box.
Tang Cheng had never seen so much money. He knew that oceans were worth more than banknotes, but he didn't know how much gold bars could be worth, especially those jade articles and gold and silver jewelry. "You are really rich now."
Tang Cheng swallowed subconsciously. Just like what Lao Dongbei said just now, the money is enough for them to buy land, build a house and marry a wife. An idea suddenly flashed in Tang Cheng's mind, otherwise they should stop fighting.
It should be pretty good to just live a good life with this money.
