"Stop, what are you doing?" Tang Cheng, wrapped in a quilt, was sleeping soundly in the cart. However, their cart was stopped by a few men with rifles. They successfully spent money in Maling Village.
After selling the cart, a group of people from Tangcheng went south along the highway. Longgang Town, 50 kilometers southwest of Yangxin County, which borders Tongshan County in the southwest and Wuning County in Jiangxi Province in the south, was their first stop.
Among the villages they passed along the road, Longgang Town was obviously more suitable for Tangcheng and the others to stay.
"What's wrong?" Feeling that the cart had stopped, Tang Cheng was a little dissatisfied and asked with his head exposed from the quilt. Tang Cheng's military uniforms were too worn out for a long time, and those on the three carts were still wearing military uniforms.
Huang Chengzhong and his Yunnan Army soldiers. But before crossing Fushui, people from Tianpu Village made new cotton-padded clothes for them in Tangcheng. Huang Chengzhong and his Yunnan Army soldiers put the new cotton-padded clothes over their military uniforms.
That's why they were stopped by these men with guns.
"It's said that they are members of the Longgang Town regiment and want to check our people and the cart." Liu Shitou whispered a few words to Tang Cheng. The latter lazily sat up from the cart and stretched out. Tang Cheng
He jumped down from the cart. "What do you mean? You guys are stupid, you won't let them see your military uniforms." The two Yunnan soldiers who got off the cart were shouting at each other.
Shouting and pushing, Tang Cheng couldn't help but get angry. He walked over and was about to reach out to pull the two Yunnan soldiers away when Lao Dongbei, who was following him, already raised his hand and gave the other group member a big mouth.
"Blinding your dog eyes, when did the militia dare to inspect the national army?" Although Lao Dongbei was not wearing an officer's uniform, his tough aura was very conspicuous, especially when he was carrying a dagger in his hand.
The group member who was slapped with a shell gun did not dare to reply. He could only stare at Lao Dongbei with anger. "Why, why are you still not convinced? Come on, come on. I want to see how capable you are today."
The other party still seemed unconvinced. Lao Dongbei smiled and put the shell gun back on his waist, rolling up his sleeves to make gestures with the other party.
Tang Cheng did not stop him, he just called back the two Yunnan Army men, and then looked around expressionlessly at the local people who had gathered to watch the excitement. It could be seen that these local people had a better life than the people in the north of Shangjiang River. Tang Cheng
Tang Cheng even saw a few young people in school uniforms in the crowd. Tang Cheng looked around and found no one in military uniforms, so he turned his attention back to Lao Dongbei and the regiment members.
Lao Dongbei rolled up his sleeves and wanted to teach those group members a lesson, but the other party had no intention of responding. He just lowered his head and shrank his neck and ignored Lao Dongbei. This made the cheerful Lao Dongbei somewhat stunned. "You bastards."
Yes, if you don’t dare to fight me, why are you trying to stop us? Damn it, a bunch of eggless things are so damn useless.” Lao Dongbei couldn’t continue his wishful one-man show, so he had to spit on the ground angrily.
Take a sip.
"Let's go, there's no point in arguing with a few members of the group. Let's go into the town. Huang Chengzhong and the others need to find a doctor to take a look at their injuries." Seeing that the group members did not dare to speak, Tang Cheng also felt a little boring, so he greeted
Following Lao Dongbei and the others, they got into the car and left. Suddenly, a few curse words like bandits, soldiers, and gangsters came out from the crowd behind them. Tang Cheng, who had turned around, suddenly stopped again. He slowly picked up and looked at the silent crowd. Tang Cheng was happy.
.
"Who just called us bandits and ruffians?" Tang Cheng asked, but no one responded, and then he smiled and said, "It turns out what we said is right. The people in Longgang Town are all eggless.
You cowards, you only dare to hide behind your back and talk about people, but you dare not stand up and admit it openly. People like you are probably worse than bandits." The faces of the locals who gathered to watch the excitement changed greatly, and they were called cowards for no reason.
They can't accept it.
"Bah bang bang." Tang Cheng, who had a gun in hand, raised his arm and fired three times. The noisy crowd immediately became silent, "What? If you want to besiege me, come and try. My gun can kill little devils."
, can also kill those of you who don’t know how to live or die, if you don’t believe it, let’s try.” Tang Cheng made a gesture with the shell gun in his hand, and the locals who were pointed at by him retreated one after another, and those who retreated slowly even directly
Someone stepped on my foot and I cried out.
"Don't dare." Tang Cheng smiled and looked at the locals who were already in a mess. "Since you don't have the courage to face the gun, don't do things that harm others and do not benefit yourself. We are just passing by your Longgang Town. We are not here to
How about you, so you don't have to mess with people like us." All the locals were frightened, and Tang Cheng turned around and got on the cart and walked into the town.
There are also refugees who have escaped across the river in Longgang Town, but the number is not very large. In addition, there are a large number of national army troops stationed in Wuning and Xiushui. Although the life of the locals is a little tense, it is not as dire as Jiangbei.
When Tang Cheng and his party entered the town, what they saw was completely peaceful. "Aren't the locals afraid of the little devils crossing the river and killing them?" Not to mention that Tang Cheng was a little confused, even the old Northeast was dumbfounded. There was no one in Longgang Town at all.
There was no trace of tension in preparation for war.
Jiangbei has been turned into a mess, but Jiangnan is still calm. Those who should do business do business, and those who should go out for a walk still go for a walk. Old Northeast even saw a person singing a ditty in a teahouse on the street. "Don't worry about it.
Let’s do our own thing and find a local to ask where there is a medical center.” Having been living in a battlefield full of bullets and suddenly returning to the peaceful Longgang Town, Tangcheng was also a little uncomfortable.
The tough-looking old Dongbei was too intimidating, so he could only leave it to the plump Fatty Ma to ask for directions. In addition, Fatty Ma was from Jiujiang and was somewhat familiar with the local dialect.
I asked a random person on the roadside and asked about the location of the medical center in the town. "Go to the medical center first, and then find a place to have a good meal. I have been eating dry food these days, and I have long been hungry for meat."
." Before Tang Cheng could say anything, Old Dongbei anxiously asked Fatty Ma to lead the way to the hospital, while he sat on the shaft of the car and looked around for restaurants in the town.
"Stop?" Before the cart had gone very far, it was stopped by several soldiers in military uniforms in the street. The leader was a sergeant who shouted in a Sichuan accent, "Damn it, you were the ones who beat up the militia just now.
The people are yelling, come down, follow me, our platoon leader wants to see the heads of you thieves." Huang Chengzhong and the Yunnan troops under him naturally understood what these guys were saying, and Tangcheng also listened.
You know, only Lao Dongbei and Liu Shitou listened half-heartedly and vaguely.
When Tang Cheng and the others threw away their military uniforms, they kept their IDs and rank insignias. Seeing how arrogant the sergeant was, Tang Cheng took out his captain's rank and handed it to Liu Shitou. "You damn boy, see clearly.
This is the rank of captain. You are just a sergeant. If you dare to scream in front of our company commander, I think you deserve a beating?" Liu Shitou walked up to the sergeant holding Tangcheng's rank badge.
, he hummed and hahaed for a long time. He didn’t speak clearly, but he learned 100% from the old Dongbei’s daily behavior.
"Shit" The sergeant standing across from Liu Shitou stared at the rank mark in Liu Shitou's hand, then pointed at Liu Shitou and laughed, "I think you are the one who deserves a beating, you thieves have no brains"
You don’t even have to wear a military uniform, and you want to trick me into talking about it.” Before the sergeant finished speaking, he saw Huang Chengzhong on the cart taking off his cotton-padded clothes, revealing the military uniform of the Yunnan Army.
.
"Are you from the Yunnan Army? From Paishi or from Yangxin?" Seeing Huang Chengzhong's Yunnan Army uniforms, the sergeant who was scolding Liu Shitou immediately changed his face and walked directly around Liu Shitou to where Huang Chengzhong was riding.
The cart asked. "We are from the 39th Group Army. Recently, people from your Yunnan Army have been crossing the river to Wuning. We were also ordered to garrison in Longgang Town." When talking to Huang Chengzhong, the 30
The sergeant of the group army lowered his voice intentionally, and Tang Cheng couldn't help but frown.
Before crossing Fushui, Tangcheng had already learned that the 30th Group of the Sichuan Army would be stationed in Wuning. Although Longgang Town was only a few dozen kilometers away from Wuning, the National Army was ordered to station in Wuning and Xiushui.
There should be a lot of troops, but why did only the 30th Group Army send troops to Longgang Town? Seeing Huang Chengzhong and the sergeant of the Sichuan Army chatting lively, Tang Cheng neither stopped nor leaned over to listen, but just followed the instructions of the old man.
The others in the Northeast were wary of those from the Sichuan Army.
Tangcheng had already dealt with the Sichuan Army when they were on the battlefield in Shanghai. The impact left by the Sichuan Army on Tangcheng has always been the lack of clothes and weapons and ammunition. However, these Sichuan Army guys in front of them were armed with live ammunition and their faces were shiny. They were obviously in conflict with
The Sichuan Army soldiers he had seen in Shanghai and Nanjing were not the same. After talking to the Sichuan Army people, Huang Chengzhong was no longer in a hurry to find a medical center, and Tangcheng did not say anything, so Laodongbei, who was in charge of driving the train, and the others let these few people go.
A man from the Sichuan Army led a cart through the streets.
"Platoon Leader Huang, since everyone has safely arrived at the Nationalist Army's defense area, I think we can separate here. We still have our own things to do, so we will leave first." Follow these Sichuan Army people through two streets.
At the same time, Tangcheng suddenly asked Old Northeast to hold the cart. He was from the 88th Division and could not afford to eat and drink in the territory of the Sichuan Army. Besides, he was not familiar with the people of the Sichuan Army. Who knew what would happen after he went there.
"It's better to meet our platoon leader first. We're almost there anyway." The Sichuan Army sergeant who had been talking to Huang Chengzhong smiled and pointed to an alley in front of him, but his other hand was already on his waist.
On the gun, he looked at Tang Cheng with disdain in his eyes.
