"You don't know, the hut we were squatting in was only ten meters away from the little Japs. I already had the grenade in my hand, thinking that no matter what, I couldn't be caught by the Japs.
I didn't expect anyone to be killed, but I didn't expect that the stupid little Japs were so stupid that they didn't even see me and the company commander." After successfully reuniting with Lao Dongbei and the others, the proud Hou
San kept bragging, and Tan Fei and Liu Shitou were filled with envy.
"Don't think about it. I seem to have killed their commander. The Japanese soldiers should not be chasing me." Tang Cheng himself was not sure whether he had really killed the Japanese officer. He saw that Old Northeast was still attacking behind him.
Looking around, Tang Cheng had no choice but to go ahead. Without the pursuers behind them, Tang Cheng and his party could finally relax. However, if they wanted to cross Fushui, Tang Cheng and the others had to find a ferry.
"Company Commander, two brothers from the Yunnan Army were detained by people from Tianpu Village. They asked us to pay for their ransom." Dice, who was sent by Tangcheng to find the ferry, hurried back and gave Tangcheng and the others
I brought back some bad news. After taking Pai City, the Japanese army only controlled the lower half of Fushui. There were no large-scale Japanese troops in Wanjiaqiao yet. Tangcheng and the others were hiding in Wanjiaqiao.
In the wilderness to the west, the Tianpu Village that Dice mentioned was less than 2 miles away from them.
"Damn it, take me to see it, I don't believe these bastards are tougher than my machine gun." Being chased all the way by the Japanese army, Lao Dongbei was already on fire. Hearing Dice say that he was beaten by Tianpu Village.
After detaining someone, Old Dongbei immediately flew into a rage and went to Tianpu Village to ask for the person. Tangcheng did not stop Old Dongbei this time. He knew that Dice was not a brainless person. The key was to cross the rich water at the moment. Dice and the others would not run away.
If you go to Tianpu Village to bully those villagers, there must be something you don't know about.
What happened was just as Tang Cheng had guessed. When Dice rushed to Tianpu Village with Lao Dongbei and Tang Cheng, the two Yunnan soldiers who came to Tianpu Village with Dice had already been hung upside down from the big tree at the entrance of the village.
Several men dressed as ordinary people were waiting at the entrance of the village with big swords. A hundred meters away from the entrance of the village, Tang Cheng stopped and observed carefully with a telescope before leading Lao Dongbei and the others forward.
"Have you brought the money? I, Wu Laosan, am a man of my word. When I say that I use money to redeem people, I must see the money. Otherwise, I don't care if you are the national army or something, you will still kill me with one knife. If you don't believe me, let's try it."
." The tough old Northeast brought pressure to the other side. As the two sides got closer and closer, the man headed by the other side suddenly put the tip of his knife on the chest of a Yunnan soldier.
"Are you from this village?" Tang Cheng and others stopped to prevent the other party from jumping over the wall and really hurting someone. Seeing that the other party's expression softened slightly, Tang Cheng asked.
"Why are you asking? You don't care whether I'm from this village or not. Don't take anything useless. I'm just asking you, have you brought the money?" Wu Laosan said impatiently, using the big knife in his hand a little harder.
, the tip of the knife had already scratched a bloody mark on the chest of the Yunnan soldier.
Seeing that the man who called himself Wu Laosan was frightened, Tang Cheng was no longer anxious. He took out a cigarette, lit it and took a puff, and then said calmly, "Since you already know that we are the national army, as long as you now
Just let my people go and let's go our separate ways and have nothing to do with it."
"Haha, I think you are a fool. He is already in my hands, why should I let him go to you?" Wu Laosan seemed to have heard a big joke, and he laughed so hard that he almost couldn't stand up straight.
Come, he immediately pointed the big knife in his hand at Tangcheng and shouted, "I'm still saying the same thing, don't want your people back if you don't see the money. You can go to all over the country to ask around. I, Wu Laosan, am not a vegetarian either."
, this guy who doesn’t have all his hair is still trying to deceive me, just go home and drink milk for a few more years.”
As soon as Wu Laosan finished speaking, he heard a "ping" sound, and a black dot rose from behind the other people, and with a whistle, it flew towards the wild fields outside the village entrance, "Boom"
"A ball of fire broke out in the field, and the earth and rocks splashed by the explosion kept falling like raindrops. "This thing is called a grenade. There is no place that it can't hit within 300 meters. Your broadsword can.
Is it powerful?" With a look of disdain on his face, Tang Cheng looked coldly at Wu Laosan who was standing opposite him.
Wu Laosan was already frightened to the point where his legs were weak. When the three national soldiers appeared at the entrance of the village, he did not want to antagonize them. Besides, they were looking for a boat with a big ocean. If he hadn't believed it,
Despite Zhao Wu's nonsense, he wouldn't have quarreled with these national soldiers at the entrance of the village. Looking at the shallow pit in the field from a distance, Wu Laosan knew that he was on the wrong end of the stick this time. They had done such a thing.
It's nothing more than showing off one's tricks. If a fight really breaks out, I'm afraid they won't even be able to withstand a single confrontation.
"Who is Zhao Wu?" Wu Laosan happily let him go and squatted at the entrance of the village with his men. Tang Cheng did not enter the village but asked about the cause of the matter. He did not believe it.
A few guys who could only wield machetes were so bold that they dared to capture the national army. Naturally, Wu Laosan did not dare to hide it, and directly pushed everything on that Zhao Wu. It was a pity that Lao Dongbei and the others who entered the village did not find Zhao Wu.
.
"Zhao Wu was not originally from our village. A lot of people who fled came from Paishi half a month ago. This man named Zhao Wu came from Tianpu Village at that time. People in the village knew Zhao Wu well.
He was a man of letters, so he stayed to teach the children in the village how to read and write. On weekdays, when something happened in the village, the people in the village also liked to come to him for advice. When the military master came to the village to look for a boat, it was Zhao Wu who gave it to us.
They said they were detaining people in exchange for money, otherwise we wouldn't dare to embarrass the military men."
"You're not a damn good thing. Gouri's family doesn't have a few acres of land, but he married three wives. After asking about it, I found out that those women were all fleeing from the road, and they were killed by you just because they stuttered.
My mother took her home." Even though Wu Laosan blamed Zhao Wu for everything, he was still beaten violently by Lao Dongbei. Waiting for the two Yunnan soldiers who were hung upside down at the entrance of the village to be
After putting it down, Wu Laosan received another violent beating. By the time he was pulled away, Wu Laosan had been beaten to a state of disgrace.
"Don't worry about it, hurry up and cross the river. There is still work to do when you get to the other side." Tang Cheng not only asked about Zhao Wu, but also learned from Wu Laosan and the others that the other side of Fushui was still under the control of the national army.
The 30th Group Army of the Sichuan Army is stationed in Wuning on the other side of Fushui. Wuning is located to the southeast of Wuchang and to the southwest of Changsha. Jiujiang is now in the hands of the Japanese army. Compared with Wuchang, which is closer to Wuning, Tangcheng is more
I tend to go to Changsha.
After arresting Wu Laosan and others, the people of Tianpu Village are now much more honest. In addition, Liu Shitou still has a lot of oceans and gold bars with him. The people of Tianpu Village, who recognize money but not people, have food and cotton.
Cotton, in just one noon, they prepared enough cotton clothes and food for Tangcheng and the others. If Tangcheng hadn't been in a hurry to cross the river, the people in Tianpu Village were prepared to kill a cow and sell it to Liu Shitou. Mr. Wu, who deserved his crime and made meritorious service
Three and the others were recruited by Tangcheng to become boatmen. The boats in Tianpu Village were enough to transport a dozen of Tangcheng and the others across Fushui at once.
"Sir, just a short walk along this trail is Maling Village. When you get to Maling Village, just ask anyone and you will be able to find the way to Wuning or Xiushui." Wu Laosan, who had a bruised nose and swollen face, said early in the morning
He no longer showed the same toughness as he had at the entrance of the village. He carefully leaned the wooden boat on the shore and sent Tang Cheng and others ashore with nods and bows. These dozen national troops were different from the defeated troops who withdrew from Pai City a few days ago. These soldiers
At first glance, a person's hands are stained with blood. If he is not careful, his life may be left in this rich river.
Wu Laosan's carefulness and panic made Tang Cheng chuckle in his heart. Instead of being a good citizen, he decided to become a bandit. If he hadn't been careless, Wu Laosan would have been buried in the field by Hou San and others.
He went into the dirt pit at the back of the village. "Okay, you can leave too. Don't do what those bandits did in the future. Maybe we will meet again in the future. If I hear something bad,
Watch your heads." Wu Laosan and others were shocked by Tang Cheng's words. After repeated assurances, they crossed the river in their own boat and fled for their lives.
"Okay, it's safe to cross the river. Let's go to Maling Village to get a big car. Let's go to Wuning to rest and then repair the water." After arriving in Guotou District, Tang Cheng's suppressed mood seemed to be much better.
The disappearing smile also appeared on his face, and the old Northeastern man secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Maybe it was because of habit. Although the south bank of Fushui was in the area controlled by the national army, Tangcheng still sent out advanced soldiers.
The leading scouts are still Hou San and Dice, but Liu Shitou is added.
"Don't stay too long when you enter Maling Village. We'll bring our own food. We'll just spend money to buy a big cart in Maling Village. Then we'll find someone who knows the way and ask for directions." Follow Wu Laosan's instructions.
Not far from the trail, Tang Cheng and the others had already seen Maling Village. Before Liu Shitou and the others entered the village, Tang Cheng called the three of them and gave them careful instructions. After finally crossing the Fushui River alive, Tang Cheng did not want to
Liu Shitou and the three of them will make some mistakes that outweigh the gains.
"Oh, okay, okay, we all know." Liu Shitou, who was told by Tang Cheng, reached out and patted the shell gun on his waist impatiently, "I have a gun on me, and I don't believe there is a Wu in Maling Village.
Something like the third child." Liu Shitou's grumbling response left Tang Cheng speechless. The series of fierce battles after leaving Mengcheng finally made Liu Shitou, a stupid kid, grow up.
