When Tang Cheng returned to the 1st Battalion defense area, his expression was not very good. The 20th Army's defense order came so suddenly that Tang Cheng could only tell Ye Xin all about his plan that he had not carefully deduced. The Japanese army might
It was only Tangcheng's own judgment to regard Sanxi Bridge as its outpost. When Ye Xin said that the two divisions of the Japanese army had gathered at Mahuiling, Tang Dynasty had already memorized the general terrain of the Xiushui line.
The first place that comes to mind is Sanxi Bridge.
Two divisions of the Japanese army gathered in Mahuiling. Their only purpose was to protect the Japanese troops along Xiushui. However, whether the Japanese army attacked Xiushui or Wuning, Sanxi Bridge would be their first choice outpost. "Lao San,
Come to my place. I have something to tell you. The others are going to prepare. We are leaving here." Tang Cheng, who had always had a sullen face, made Wu Laosan somewhat uneasy. He thought Tang Cheng called him because of this.
He went to Changsha to look for the Yunnan Army but failed.
"Lao San, I just received the order that the troops are about to move out. We are going to Sandu Town to garrison and defend the retreat of the Wuning garrison." Tang Cheng threw a cigarette to Wu Lao San, which made Wu Lao feel anxious.
San breathed a sigh of relief. "Among us, only you and Zhang Hu walked the road to Changsha, so you and Zhang Hu don't have to follow us to Sandu Town this time. Xiaobao and Lin Ying are still just children.
, the battlefield is not something they can go to at their age, I want you and Zhang Hu to take them away first."
Tang Cheng's words made Wu Laosan dumbfounded. He did not expect that Tang Cheng called him here for such a thing. Wu Laosan, who had not yet reacted, asked dully, "Sir, do you look down on me, Wu Laosan?"
Right? I, Wu Laosan, have done a lot of obscure things in the first half of my life, but I am also a bloody man. I may not be good at fighting, but I can always help Fatty Ma cook and light the fire. You won’t let me
I'm going to the battlefield. It's okay if I stay behind to lift a wounded person or something. Besides, Xiaobao is following you now, so why are you pushing a child into my care?"
Wu Lao San pretended to be indifferent, but unfortunately he could not scare Tang Cheng, "Lao San, listen carefully to me, this time is different, we are going to snatch food from the mouths of tens of thousands of little devils.
It was hundreds of times more dangerous than when we were chased by the little devils on the other side of the Fushui River. Taking Xiaobao and Lin Ying with you is harming them. You are not good at fighting, but you are good at dealing with others. You will take care of them.
I'll be relieved. Besides, it's not like we'll never see each other again. You're just taking a step forward to take a stand, and we'll find you later."
Wu Laosan didn't understand why Tang Cheng had to leave first with Zhang Xiaobao and Lin Ying, but his many years of experience in the world had made him sense the danger in Tang Cheng's words. "You must leave, I will call Shitou
I'll give you the money. We'll set off early tomorrow morning. You leave an hour early and wait for us in Pingjiang County." Tang Cheng reached out and patted Wu Laosan on the shoulder, then turned and left, leaving Wu Laosan alone.
Still sitting in a daze.
Sending Zhang Xiaobao and Lin Ying away early was Tangcheng's last resort decision. The war was about to begin, and he had to lead his soldiers out of Sanxi Bridge to snatch supplies from the Japanese army. If anything went wrong on the way, Zhang Xiaobao and Lin Ying would probably be in trouble.
It's hard to come back alive. "Fatty Ma, I'll give you 20 people to bake all the food into big cakes. Let's leave early tomorrow morning." Tang Cheng left the room and called Fatty Ma again. He didn't know that the troops were about to leave.
Fatty Ma didn't dare to ask any more questions and just led the people to work in the kitchen.
"The order from the military headquarters requires us to change defenses and go to Sandu Town. Preparing dry rations is our first battalion's other action." Seeing that Laodongbei and the others did not understand their order to rectify dry rations, Tang Cheng casually explained that he could be called into the room.
They are all trustworthy people in Tangcheng, and Tangcheng did not want to hide it from Lao Dongbei and the others. "According to the plan planned by Commander Ye and I, the 2nd Battalion will go to Sandu Town to garrison, and our 1st Battalion will go to Sanxi Bridge to cause trouble for the Japanese army.
, within fifteen days, we will return to Sandu Town after obtaining enough weapons and ammunition."
A large map has been opened and spread out on the table. Tang Cheng marked his planned route on the map with a pencil. "We will cross Xiushui, then follow Luoxi, Yanyang, and Yangzhou eastward to Sanxi Bridge. At Sanxi Bridge
After looking for the Japanese ambush, we will return to Sandu Town with the captured supplies. In the meantime, we will have to march for hundreds of miles, and we may not even need to reach Sanxi Bridge before we can meet the Japanese army."
Already driven to the point of going crazy by the construction of fortifications in the rain for days, Old Northeast learned that there was going to be another war. He immediately burst into laughter, but then he became sad again. "No, even though we have almost 300 people, we can't.
The weapons only have less than 200 rifles, and the bullets are only enough for each gun to carry 20 rounds. There is no way to fight the little devil with these things." After Lao Dongbei said these words, Hou San and others nodded repeatedly.
If the troops who don't even have enough weapons and ammunition run hundreds of miles away to steal food from the Japanese army.
"Don't worry so much about this. Let's gather all the weapons and ammunition we have, select 60 with the best marksmanship, and distribute the bullets to them equally. The excess weapons will be sent to the 2nd Battalion. I have already made an agreement with Commander Ye, he
We will go to the 20th Army to get us two Czech light machine guns. Counting our original two Japanese machine guns, the firepower of four light machine guns and 60 rifles is enough to ambush Japanese squad-level troops, as long as we plan
OK, I will definitely come back alive."
Tang Cheng has said this. Laodongbei and the others finally understood Tang Cheng's plan. They selected 70 people from the entire battalion as the main force, and the remaining people will be used as heavy troops and peripheral support. 300 people were selected.
Out of 70 people, these 70 people should be the elite of a battalion of veterans. Such a group of elites plus four light machine guns to assist in the battle, let alone a small group of Japanese soldiers, may not be able to fight against two small groups of Japanese soldiers.
will fail.
"Tangcheng really told you this?" Ye Chuang turned to look at his younger brother Ye Xin who came to his place in the rain. Ye Xin came to his brother, naturally, for the light machine gun. Two Czech-style light machine guns.
It was not a difficult task for Ye Chuang, but he had to ask clearly about the situation. The 20th Army was not a free sheep. He could not afford to have to get two machine guns for him to take away when his brother opened his mouth. He learned that the machine guns were from Tangcheng.
Therefore, Ye Chuang wanted to understand the whole thing even more, otherwise he would be implicated if something went wrong.
Ye Xin didn't know what his brother meant, so he just used the map found by Ye Chuang and repeated the plan Tang Cheng told him. "You can't tell, this Tang Cheng is not old, but he is good at fighting.
I'm afraid even the combat staff in the military department may not have such insight." After listening to his brother's account, Ye Chuang was full of praise for Tangcheng's plan. Sichuan people are not ischemic in their bones, and Tangcheng
This plan of running for hundreds of miles really appeals to Ye Chuang.
Hearing that his brother also said that this plan was good, Ye Xin couldn't help but feel happy, and kept asking if he had got the machine gun he asked for. "You, I was expecting you to be the temporary leader of the regiment first.
, I will find an opportunity later to transfer you back to the 20th Army, but you have to give me credit. If you have nothing to do, don’t play with your weird things. Tangcheng is seven or eight years younger than you.
, but he has already commanded a company to fight to the death with the Japs, you have to learn more from him."
Ye Xin has been afraid of his brother since he was a child. When he heard his brother compare himself with Tangcheng, he immediately disagreed. If it weren't for the machine gun he needed to get back to Tangcheng, Ye Xin would not have the patience to sit here and listen to his brother's lectures.
The preaching was for the benefit of his younger brother. As the elder brother, Ye Chuang naturally had no shirk in his duty. When it was almost dark, Ye Xin, who was dizzy after being preached, returned to the temporary home with the two Czech light machine guns and ammunition allocated by his brother.
The regiment's military camp.
"Tang Cheng, these are the Czech-style light machine guns and ammunition you want. In order to get them, I have exhausted all my strength. You must remember to bring them back." He was held by his brother.
Compared with Tang Cheng, it is impossible for Ye Xin not to be angry, but he is not a fledgling boy. In front of Tang Cheng, Ye Xin behaved with enough dignity.
Seeing that Ye Xin really got the machine gun, Tangcheng was also very happy. With the machine gun in hand, the success of this attack was a little better. What was even happier than Tangcheng was the old Northeast, even if it was the regular troops placed in the **
Here, the firepower of four machine gun volleys is not weak. The Japanese squad-level troops have at most 1 or 2 machine guns. If you use four machine guns to fight against them, as long as one of your own does not do anything bad, you will definitely win.
"Don't tell the people below yet. If someone asks about concentration of weapons and selection of gunners, just say it is part of the training. You can only tell them after you hit the road and leave here tomorrow, otherwise there will be trouble." Old Northeast and the others all said.
They all looked solemn, even Mu Lianshan. Tang Cheng told Mu Lianshan about letting Wu Laosan leave during dinner, and the latter breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mr. Mu, you don't have to follow us this time. Tomorrow you will follow the 2nd Battalion and go to Sandu Town to wait for us. I will ask Wu Laosan to take Xiaobao and Lin Ying to wait in Pingjiang. If we fail
Rush back to Sandu Town, and you go to Pingjiang to join Wu Laosan and the others." If this attack fails, only a quarter of them with weapons will not be able to come back alive. What Tang Cheng said to Mulianshan at this time
This is already his worst plan.
The night was already very deep, and most of the soldiers who didn't know what was going on had already gone to bed. Tang Cheng was still wandering around the camp in full gear. It had been a while since he had faced the Japanese army in a face-to-face battle, and Tang Cheng had almost forgotten the bloody and bloody battle.
What does a battlefield with the smell of gunpowder smoke look like? Only by walking around the camp with a gun in hand can Tangcheng regain those memories that were about to be forgotten.
