Chapter 152: Take the initiative to make suggestions
"If this man keeps living in confusion, even if you put a mountain of gold in front of him, he will still be indifferent. You guys have also carried guns and fought bloody battles with little devils before. You can't
It's just like this. So, Commander Ye and I had a good discussion, and I decided to take you out for a trip to help you find your lost and forgotten blood." Tang Cheng's opening remarks made everyone in the barracks
The defeated soldiers stiffened, this was not good news.
"You are soldiers. How can soldiers not have weapons? But the 20th Army's own troops also lack weapons. Therefore, you have to get your weapons yourself and get them from the Japanese army." Hearing Tang Cheng's words, the 20th Army in the barracks
Several broken troops were in an uproar. They were all reorganized yesterday. Why did they say they were going to fight the Japs only one day later? This was too damn fast.
"I know you don't want to go to the battlefield to fight again. Some of you even participated in the Wanjialing Victory in De'an County a few months ago. I don't want to know how many people died in the Wanjialing Victory. I
It is enough to know that the Japanese army suffered nearly 10,000 casualties in the Wanjialing battle." Tang Cheng looked around with a cold face before continuing, "No one wants to die on the battlefield, and I am the same. My company has fought
We fought in Shanghai, fought in Nanjing, fought in Mengcheng, fought in Macheng, and fought in Xiaojieling. We suffered heavy casualties every time, but the Japanese soldiers who were our enemies also suffered heavy casualties."
"If everyone were like you, maybe the little devils wouldn't have to waste so much strength at all. They could just rely on surrendering their Imperial Army to occupy the whole of China. At that time, congratulations, you can finally hold on to your little devils.
It's a pity that you all have become the slaves of the Japanese. Don't believe in the Japanese's friendly attitude. Have any of you ever heard that the master will treat his slaves well? It's already settled that he won't kill you, so everything about you
It belongs to the master, because you are idiots who have nothing."
After venting his anger against these defeated soldiers who looked like mud, Tang Cheng seemed to have vented all the anger he had accumulated over the past few days. After taking one last look at the 20 defeated soldiers in the barracks, Tang Cheng finally
He laughed and said, "I don't think you are dirty or lazy, but because my brothers can't hang out with a group of women. My men only want men who can fight and dare to fight. I don't care about women like you."
Will want it."
After Tang Cheng said these words, he rode out of the military camp, ignoring the shouts and curses that instantly broke out in the barracks. However, Tang Cheng's horse speed was not too fast. He wanted to see how many people could chase him out. Things were like this
As Tang Cheng guessed, before Tang Cheng and his group actually walked out of the barracks, more than a dozen of the 20 or so broken soldiers who had been half-dead in the barracks chased them out. "We are not here to curry favor with you, we just want to
Let you know that we are not sissies and we are not weaklings. As long as you dare to shoot the little devil, we will follow you."
Lao Dongbei, who was also riding on horseback, laughed when he heard this, "I told you that you are not fools. I tell you that he has fought in many battles. Such a man has become a captain and company commander by virtue of military merit."
Haven't you killed any Japs yet? Prick up your dog ears and listen carefully. Company Commander Tang has killed the most Japs among us. I'm afraid you have killed more than a dozen Japs soldiers together with him.
"More." Old Dongbei's words made the dozen or so defeated soldiers gasp, while Tang Cheng sat on his horse and enjoyed the respect from the eyes of these defeated soldiers.
"Do we really want to keep them? What should we do with the remaining people?" Looking at the retreating figures of the defeated soldiers, Lao Dongbei on horseback suddenly leaned toward Tang Cheng and muttered in a low voice. The latter did not answer Lao Dongbei directly.
, but shook his head and said nothing. He only had these 20 defeated troops assigned to his men. There were only 14 people who were chased out just now. Including Old Northeast and himself, there were only 25 people in total. With this small number of people, there were only 25 people in total.
If you have enough strength to count two squads in front of you, if you go to fight the Japanese army like this, you won't be able to defeat even a small squad of the Japanese army.
What Tang Cheng said in the barracks that he had met the regiment leader named Ye was naturally false. It was just a pretense to beat up the defeated troops. But now, Tang Cheng was really planning to meet the regiment leader named Ye.
The headquarters of the temporary regiment looks very shabby, even worse than the town government of Sandu Town. Maybe it’s because they are not popular, and the people who come in and out of the headquarters also look listless.
, which made Tang Cheng shake his head. How could a force without energy be dragged into a fight with the Japanese army?
"This is the regiment headquarters?" Not to mention Tang Cheng shaking his head, even Liu Shitou, who had always been the most adaptable, looked down upon him. Hou San, who was responsible for leading the way, nodded affirmatively. This is where he and Lao Dongbei came here in the morning.
.Passing through the somewhat dilapidated gate, Tang Cheng and others entered the courtyard. None of the soldiers they met at the door came to ask what Tang Cheng and others were doing. They waited until Tang Cheng and others walked to the main house.
At the door, a man in military uniform came out of the house, which made Tang Cheng stop, because this man was the regiment leader Ye Xin he was looking for.
"Hey, isn't this Company Commander Tang? Come on, let's talk inside." Ye Xin was obviously preparing to go out, but when he saw Tang Cheng appearing in his command post, he immediately changed his mind and took Tang Cheng into his command room.
Among the 580 people in the temporary regiment, the 20 or so people from Tang Cheng were the ones who stood out. Although most of the other broken troops were withdrawn from the front line, only Tang Cheng was the one holding a Japanese weapon.
them.
Although Ye Xin didn't know why Tang Cheng came to his command post, he knew that Tang Cheng would not come for nothing. According to Ye Xin's idea, Tang Cheng's visit should be for his own needs, so Ye Xin kept chatting.
It's useless. He is waiting for Tang Cheng to take the initiative to explain his purpose. Tang Cheng is a guy who has been on the streets since he was a child. He has seen a lot of dirty things between people. Coupled with Liu Yangyang's teachings, how can he read it?
Not knowing what Ye Xin meant at the moment, he simply stopped holding it and directly stated his purpose.
"Company Commander Tang, are you crazy? There are less than 600 people in the temporary regiment, and you plan to leave half of them, including all the defeated troops. If you think your officer is too small, we can discuss it, but we can't
Let's do it like this." When he heard that Tang Cheng said that he wanted to borrow manpower, Ye Xin didn't care very much, but when he heard that Tang Cheng needed 300 people, including all the defeated troops in the temporary regiment, Ye Xin was shocked and just
He almost jumped up immediately.
"I know, I know all this. Sit down first. Sit down and wait for you to listen to all my words before making a judgment." Tang Cheng took out a cigarette and handed one to Ye Xin, and motioned for the other party to sit down and talk.
"I know that there are less than 600 people in the temporary group, but don't forget, less than 200 of these 600 people have weapons. If you think those broadswords and spears can also be considered weapons, then fine, I admit that the temporary group has less than 600 people."
80% of the people in the group already have weapons."
Tang Cheng's words made Ye Xin, who reached out to take the cigarette, sit down involuntarily. Not to mention the temporary regiment, even the soldiers of the 20th Army lacked weapons and ammunition. "Maybe you don't know, we withdrew from the north of the Yangtze River.
, when passing by Fushui River, we also helped a unit of your Sichuan Army's 30th Group Army to cross the river and defeat the Japanese army. Although we didn't kill many Japanese soldiers, we also helped that Sichuan Army get enough to arm several hundred people.
weapons and ammunition.”
Ye Xin's ears pricked up involuntarily. He was also one of the insiders about Tang Cheng and his people helping Zhang Leshan cross the Fushui River to fight the Japanese. The main reason why Tang Cheng and the others were included in the temporary regiment was
This is why I came here. "You give me the manpower I need, and I will take them to fight with the Japanese army. The weapons and ammunition captured will be used to equip the temporary regiment. When the Japanese army really gets close to Xiushui, I will tell you if you are wrong."
Everyone in the temporary regiment already has a gun and bullets."
March is the spring rain season in the south, and now it is January. There is not much time left for Tangcheng. He does not want to lie in the mud and rain in the rain to snatch weapons from the Japanese army. That would be too miserable. "
Company Commander Tang, I have to say that your idea is very bold, but you have to know that although I am the leader of the temporary regiment, I still have to listen to what is said above. So I know about this matter, but I need to think about it. You first
Go back and wait for my news, I will let someone inform you later." Ye Xin did not dare to agree to Tang Cheng immediately, although this was what he was looking forward to.
"Brother, what do you think of this Tangcheng? Should I promise him?" After seeing off Tangcheng, Ye Xin hurriedly rode to Zhajin Town, repeating exactly what Tangcheng said to him just now.
He told his brother once. If Tangcheng were here, he would definitely recognize Ye Xin’s brother as the Sichuan Army colonel who visited the inn that day. Of course, Tangcheng didn’t know that the Sichuan Army colonel’s name was Ye Chuang, who was exactly
The biological brother of Ye Xinai's compatriot.
Seeing his brother being so out of control, Ye Chuang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "I told you not to listen to Fatty Huang. I just said to be wary of this Tangcheng, but I didn't say to just let him be a kid.
Company commander. If you give him the position of battalion commander, then you don’t have to worry about this now. He is the battalion commander, so he is naturally responsible for the soldiers under his command. The thing is done, and this is your credit.
If something goes wrong, kill him as the battalion commander and it will end."
"Then what should I do now?"
"Promise him, but before that, you first find a reason to take down a battalion commander and make Tang Cheng your battalion commander, so that he is qualified enough to command 300 people. No matter how things go, this will be
Tangcheng makes his own decisions. If good things happen, you take care of them. If things go wrong, Tangcheng will blame them."
