The people who were rescued by Tangcheng and the guerrillas helped carry the bodies tremblingly. If it weren't for the help of these people, they might not have known where they were being taken by these damn Japanese soldiers. They just helped
Cleaning up the battlefield was nothing to these ordinary people who repaid their kindness. Tang Cheng had no intention of wandering around the blood-stained battlefield, so he sat alone on a tree stump and smoked. Tan Fei carried the Japanese soldier who had just left
The squad leader kept the command knife on his side, and from time to time would wipe the lieutenant's command knife with a rag in his hand.
Liu Shitou had a Japanese assistant officer's command knife given by Tangcheng. It was captured by Tangcheng and the others when they returned to Diqiao Town. Liu Shitou had always treasured it and would take it out and clean it from time to time. Tan Fei had been jealous for a long time, but Liu Shitou had been jealous for a long time.
Shitou just showed him the command sword, but refused Tan Fei's request to play with it. Although the Lieutenant's command sword this time was not as good as Liu Shitou's, it still fulfilled one of Tan Fei's wishes.
Tang Cheng never paid attention to whether Lao Dongbei and the others had hidden trophies and some valuable gadgets. Tang Cheng only cared about the diaries, maps, letters and anything written in Japanese that they found from the Japanese soldiers. Hiding trophies was a crime.
It was useless here in Tangcheng, and he never thought that Old Northeast and the others should be punished for hiding a few valuable gadgets. Those things were all found from the corpses of Japanese soldiers. Where would the trophies come from if the Japanese soldiers were not killed? Since
For killing the Japanese soldiers, Old Northeast and the others should be rewarded.
Tang Cheng has been staring at Li Changshun. There are now less than 10 of the 30 or so guerrillas under Li Changshun. I don’t know if it’s because Li Changshun encouraged Dai Yan to intercept him. In short, Tang Cheng has a crush on Li Changshun.
Unspeakably annoying. "If this guy were in our army, he might be a strong general." Old Northeast's opinion of Li Changshun surprised Tangcheng. Such a guy who doesn't care about the life and death of his soldiers when fighting actually
Became a fierce general in the mouth of Lao Dongbei?
"Don't compare him with you." Xu Shi saw the confusion in Tang Cheng's eyes. Old Dongbei glanced at Tang Cheng angrily, "Do you think everyone is as scheming as you? Look at us and the little devil.
In those battles, which one was not done by you just sitting there and figuring things out? If you ask me, you might as well change your career and become a bookkeeper. In war, you should be like that guy, using a big knife to chop off the little devil's head.
That’s war, and what matters is blood.”
Only then did Tang Cheng suddenly realize that he was envious of the actions of Li Changshun and his men wielding swords to chase down the Japanese army just now. If this could be considered an unparalleled warrior, wouldn't the famous 29th Army have all of them?
They are all peerless generals. Old Northeast is a very unreasonable guy, and Tang Cheng is too lazy to argue with him, so he can only take Tan Fei to stay outside the battlefield and watch Old Northeast and the others clean up the battlefield.
"Three of our people died. They all happened when we chased and chopped down the Japs with machetes at the end. More than half of the guerrillas died. I think there could be at least 20 people. The civilians who were rescued also suffered casualties."
When he saw Tang Cheng sitting on a tree stump smoking, Old Dongbei came over carrying a light machine gun. Tang Cheng thought that Old Dongbei was coming to him again to talk about his wise words, but he didn't expect that what Old Dongbei was talking about was the casualties of this battle.
In view of the situation, Tangcheng could only sigh secretly for the casualties of the guerrillas. It was unclear whether it was the luck or sorrow of those guerrillas to have a commander like Li Changshun on the stand.
"The number of the little devils was also counted. There were 63 in total. They were commanded by a captain. Only 42 rifles among the seized weapons were still usable. There were almost more than 3,000 bullets. The grenades were not numbered, and they were all taken away by stones.
." Old Northeastern changed the subject and talked about the number of Japanese soldiers killed and the seizures, but his last words made Tang Cheng roll his eyes. "The little Japanese Captain's telescope was taken away by the man named Li.
I thought a lot of the guerrillas died, so let’s just give them to them, since we have two of them anyway.”
Giving Lao Dongbei an annoyed look, Tang Cheng said angrily, "How do you know I'm useless with that thing? Hou San wants to go out to explore the road. With a telescope, he can avoid a lot of trouble. Also, why didn't you say anything just now?
Regarding the machine guns, please don’t tell me that these Japanese troops don’t have machine guns or that the machine guns were damaged.” Tang Cheng remembered that when he was in Nanshan Village, Lao Dongbei was the one who tried his best to prevent Tang Cheng from helping the guerrillas, but now
Old Dongbei kept helping Li Changshun speak, which surprised Tangcheng.
"Didn't that girl surnamed Dai agree to take photos of some locals as guides for us? With the guides, Hou San will no longer have to be a vanguard, and the telescope will naturally be useless." Lao Dongbei knew Tang in his heart.
Cheng didn't really want to do anything to him, so he licked his face and leaned forward to explain in a low voice, "We already have two light machine guns. Besides, the little devil's light machine gun is not as effective as the Czech type. If you have too many machine guns, it will be a waste of bullets."
, I’m not thinking about ourselves.”
Tang Cheng's eyelids jumped with anger at Old Northeast's explanation. He didn't know what happened to this man. As for kicking Li Changshun so hard to talk to him? "Who said that we don't need Hou San to explore the way if we have a guide?
Only if we ourselves have control over the road conditions can we walk with confidence. There are more machine guns and it will be easier to handle. When we get to Wuning or Xiushui, we can't use the Japanese machine guns to find weapons and exchange them for Czech machine guns. I think you are full.
You don’t know about famine when you’re pregnant, have you forgotten what happened after we left Nanshan Village?”
Before Tang Cheng and others left Nanshan Village, the heavy weapons they possessed were comparable to an infantry company in Japan. However, when they left Nanshan Village, due to the ambush of the Japanese army, Tang Cheng and others lost almost all their weapons and ammunition. If
If they had not been able to escape the pursuing Japanese troops while marching at night, they might have died in the fields by the river long ago. The weapons and ammunition they have now were all snatched from the Japanese troops in one battle after another.
Tang Cheng preached to Old Northeast in this way, just because he didn't want Old Northeast to forget the embarrassment and helplessness they felt after leaving Nanshan Village.
"How about I go get the machine gun back? Anyway, there are only a few birdmen left in their guerrillas, maybe not even one who can use the machine gun." Seeing Tang Cheng's serious expression, Old Northeast also corrected himself immediately.
With a look on his face, when he spoke, Tang Cheng hit him hard on the forehead. He reached out to get back what he had given away. Tang Cheng had never done such a shameful thing before. Tang Cheng did not want to be talked about behind his back.
He is a man who does not keep his word.
Old Dongbei was kicked out by Tang Cheng to help clean up the corpses of the Japanese soldiers, but Liu Shitou came over with a pout on his face. His mouth was filled with words of "lost", which made Tang Cheng's head hurt. "These little devils."
It was too poor. I was able to throw out more than 30 grenades this time. After searching the corpses of all the little Japs, the Communist Party of China found less than 50 grenades. They still had to leave some for the guerrillas.
Grenades, if we fight this kind of losing battle a few more times, all the grenades I have saved so hard will be lost."
Seeing Liu Shitou, who was only a teenager, pretending to cry like a housekeeper and wiping away his tears, Tang Cheng, who was sitting on the tree stump, had no idea what expression he should show. Liu Shitou could turn into a fairy. Such a philistine was completely
Tang Cheng’s responsibility. If Tang Cheng hadn’t intentionally taught Liu Shitou to take care of his property after leaving Mengcheng, and if Tang Cheng hadn’t pushed Liu Shitou and Niu Laogui to wander in the black market after arriving in Wuhan, maybe Xiao Xiao
At his age, Liu Shitou would not chatter like this.
Liu Shitou didn't pay attention to the weird look in Tang Cheng's eyes when he looked at him. He just kept complaining. In fact, Liu Shitou said these words to Tang Cheng on purpose. He wanted Tang Cheng to open his mouth and stop Old Northeast from confiscating the stolen goods.
Some of the grenades were distributed to the guerrillas. "Shitou, we only have less than ten people. What do you need so many grenades for? If we encounter Japanese troops scraping the ground on the way, all these weapons and ammunition may have to be returned."
Don’t you feel bad if you say we are not tired of carrying so many things and finally they all belong to others?”
Liu Shitou was completely influenced by Tang Cheng's words. He nodded involuntarily as Tang Cheng spoke. Tang Cheng said with a smile, "So, as long as our consumption is replenished, it doesn't matter if we distribute a few grenades to the guerrillas."
"We have less things to bring. When we meet the Japanese soldiers on the way, it will be easy to move. Think carefully about whether what I said is right." Liu Shitou has always believed in Tang Cheng's words, and of course this time he did not.
No exceptions.
Angrily glanced sideways at Tan Fei, who was still rolling his eyes at him, Tang Cheng threw away the cigarette butts in his hands and stood up, "Everyone who greeted us should leave. We will stay here for a long time. We are going to risk it again."
Send out a Japanese army, we just don't have enough people to fill their teeth." Looking around, the battlefield has been almost cleaned, and he has no interest in chatting with Li Changshun and the others, so Tang Cheng simply lets Tan Fei, who has nothing to do, greet him.
Laodongbei and others are preparing to retreat.
"Captain Li, the battle has been fought and all the Japanese soldiers have been killed. Let's just say goodbye." Before Li Changshun could go to thank Tang Cheng, Tang Cheng had already said goodbye. "All the weapons and ammunition captured here will be kept."
I’ll give it to you, but I’ll give half to the people in Daijiazhuang. Not only do you want to fight the Japanese, they also need weapons and ammunition. As for how to divide it, that’s a matter between your two families. It’s not easy for Tang to get involved, so I’ll take my leave.”
Tang Cheng's last words were spoken in front of the guides at Daijiazhuang. He didn't believe that Li Changshun dared to take the loot for himself. Throwing such a hot potato to Li Changshun could be regarded as avenging Li Changshun's fault for instigating Dai Yan to lead people to block the road.
On the way back, Tang Cheng couldn't stop laughing to himself. He could even imagine the pain on Li Changshun's face when he distributed weapons to Dai Yan and the others.
