Looking around at the familiar faces in the room, Tang Cheng suddenly turned to look at Liu Shitou, "Why are you alone, Old Northeast? Did this guy sneak out to drink again?" Tang Cheng's question left everyone speechless.
, looking at everyone's evasive eyes, a bad premonition flashed in Tang Cheng's heart.
You in the room looked at me and I looked at you, but no one spoke. "It's broken. There's still bone soup simmering in the pot. I have to go and take a look. Don't let Ao dry up the soup." Fatty Ma finally said.
He found an excuse first and rushed out of the room without looking back. The remaining people could only curse Fatty Ma secretly for not being loyal enough.
"It's too early for your injury to heal. I'll give you a few injections and you can have a good sleep. It won't be too late to talk about other things when you wake up." Tang Cheng glared at Liu Shitou before waiting.
, Mu Lianshan had already taken out a silver needle and pricked it into Tang Cheng's body. After the silver needle entered his body, Tang Cheng, who had just woken up, closed his eyes again, but he was not in a coma this time, but in a deep sleep.
He stretched out his hand and waved it back and forth in front of Tang Cheng's face a few times. After confirming that Tang Cheng had really fallen asleep, Liu Shitou breathed a long sigh of relief. "Mr. Mu, what should we do? What if the company commander wakes up and still asks about the old man?
Northeast, how should we answer?" Looking around at Hou San and Dice, Liu Shitou could only place his hope on Mu Lianshan. Among the people in the room, only Mu Lianshan seemed to be honest.
.
Mu Lianshan opened the mouth of the sleeping Tang Cheng and forced him to swallow a bowl of medicine. After he broke out in a sweat, he seemed to feel better. But in the middle of the night, Tang Cheng's body became hot again, this time with fever.
It seemed to be even faster than the first time. Liu Shitou, who had been guarding Tangcheng, couldn't help but become anxious. Tangcheng's breathing gradually became heavier, and the temperature of his body became higher and higher. Liu Shitou could only keep using wet hands.
A rag was covered on Tang Cheng's forehead. But even so, Tang Cheng's body temperature did not drop much, and everyone's hearts were hanging again.
"It's okay. This is a normal reaction after taking medicine. Only when he has a fever can the old injuries in his body be forced out. Once the fever subsides, he will be fine." Mu Lianshan was not worried at all. Tang Cheng's fever at this time
The reaction was what he had expected. Mu Lianshan took out a dose of antipyretic injection and gave it to Tang Cheng. Tang Cheng's fever symptoms gradually began to improve. Liu Shitou sat beside the bed and watched over Tang Cheng. When he saw that Tang Cheng finally subsided,
After the fever subsided, Liu Shitou sighed heavily.
Tang Cheng, who had been sleeping all night, woke up by himself the next day when the light came out. Liu Shitou was lying on the bed beside him, sleeping in the dark. The only person who could solve Tang Cheng's confusion was Lin Ying, who came into the room after hearing the sound.
"I also heard from my third uncle and my master privately that the ferry was hit by a Japanese cannon that day, and you and the two people on the ferry fell into the river. At first, everyone thought you were dead, but only
Uncle Dongbei didn't believe it, so he went down to the river to catch you. At that time, the Japanese soldiers on the other side of the river bank hadn't left yet. When Uncle Northeast wanted to go down to the river, the Japanese soldiers on the other side opened fire. Shitou and the others also shot to cover Uncle Northeast. As a result, you were killed by Uncle Northeast.
Pushed to the river bank, he was shot into the river by the bullets of the Japanese soldiers. There are too many Japanese soldiers and they can't bear the stone, so they have to rescue you first."
When Tang Cheng heard this, his head buzzed and he was confused, "Go on, what happened to the old Northeast?" Before he crossed the river that day, he had already asked the veterans on the other side to set up machine guns and mortars.
Comparing the firepower of Bian and the Japanese army, shouldn't it be overwhelming?
Tang Cheng's face turned cold obviously, and Lin Ying didn't dare to look up at Tang Cheng, but Tang Cheng kept forcing her to say, and Lin Ying didn't dare to hide it from Tang Cheng, so she had to finish the rest of her words. "Uncle Northeastern is dead.
, Uncle Monkey saw it with his own eyes. When Uncle Northeast pushed you onto the river bank, the machine gun from the Japanese soldier on the opposite side hit Uncle Northeast. Uncle Monkey said that Uncle Northeast’s entire back was broken by bullets and he couldn’t be saved.
Already."
"Where are the corpses? Didn't Hou San and the others bring back the corpse of Lao Dongbei?" Tang Cheng's throat felt itchy. If he hadn't tried his best to control it, the blood stuck in his throat might have spurted out.
Lin Ying was startled by the color of blood between Tang Cheng's gums and broke into a cold sweat, but the matter had been revealed, and there was no need to continue to hide it from Tang Cheng. Instead of waiting for Tang Cheng to get angry and get angry again after his injury, it would be better to
It's better to say it all right now.
"Uncle Monkey said that the Japanese soldiers fought very hard that day. They couldn't stand it anymore and so they retreated. Uncle Dongbei's body was not brought back." Lin Ying's words made Tang Chengqiang's words suddenly collapse and stuck in his throat.
Although the mouthful of blood did not spurt out, it flowed out from the corner of his mouth. When getting along with Old Dongbei every day, Tang Cheng had never realized the status of Old Dongbei in his heart, but suddenly he learned that Old Dongbei was trying to save his life.
After losing his life, Tang Cheng's heart suddenly became empty.
"Where are the supplies we got back? How many people came back from the first battalion?" How could Lin Ying know these things, so she had to call Hou San and Tan Fei in.
"The man named Ye is not a thing. Seeing that you were unconscious all the time, he took the whole battalion back. The supplies we worked so hard to get back became his contribution." After carefully glancing at Tang Cheng's face, Hou San saw this
Then he continued, "We are not in Sandu Town now. You have been unconscious for half a month. We are now at the 58th Army Office in Liuyang. Mr. Mu can't do anything about your injury. We can only carry you all the way from Pingjiang."
Going to Changsha, Wu Laosan said that there are troops of the Yunnan Army in Liuyang. We thought that Liuyang is a big place and should have the medicine you need, so we came to Liuyang."
"Half a month?" Tang Cheng didn't expect that he had been unconscious for half a month. Fortunately, Hou San and the others did not abandon him, otherwise he might have become an abandoned corpse in the wilderness. He learned that the 58th Army was
The troops of the Yunnan Army, Tangcheng could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. With Huang Chengzhong and the others here, those who wanted to join the Yunnan Army would not embarrass outsiders like themselves.
"Huang Chengzhong? This guy is now the company commander. I heard that the 58th Army fought hard before, and the troops suffered a lot of casualties. Huang Chengzhong and others who were veterans of the Yunnan Army were all promoted one level and were admitted to the 58th Army."
There was obviously a hint of envy in Hou San's words. I don't know if it was true envy or to divert Tang Cheng's mind. Tan Fei, who had never been talkative, actually sang with Hou San and talked about Huang Chengzhong after he became the company commander.
trivial matters.
The first battalion was taken back by Ye Xin, and the 300 veterans could not be counted on. The credit for robbing the Japanese arms was also taken away by Ye Xin. The only thing Tangcheng has now is these familiar people in front of him, but it is a pity that the veterans are missing.
Northeast. "How many people do we have now? How many guns? How much money?" Seeing that Liu Shitou had also woken up, Tang Cheng asked. Tang Cheng did not really want to stay in the Yunnan Army. In his subconscious
Here, the national army like the 88th Division can be regarded as the real national army.
Although Liu Shitou is young, he has been forced by Tang Cheng to play the role of logistics manager since he left Mengcheng with Tang Cheng. Of course, only Liu Shitou can answer these questions asked by Tang Cheng. "Leaving Sandu Town
We are the ones who went south to Liuyang. Huang Chengzhong has already taken his men to Fengxin with the large force of the 58th Army. Now there are only 9 of us." Liu Shitou could answer the question of going to Tangcheng without counting on his fingers.
, because their number is too small, and these 9 people also include Zhang Xiaobao and Lin Ying.
"There is no shortage of guns and bullets. Including Xiaobao, each of us has a long gun and 60 rounds of bullets. When Ye Xin took back the first battalion, Brother Monkey hid the two Czech light machine guns and a small
The Japanese's grenade. Maybe the man named Ye felt sorry for it, and the person who was counting the things didn't care. We also brought some grenades out." Liu Shitou opened his mouth to bring the weapons they had as much as the nine people could bring.
The ammunition was explained in detail.
"We don't have much money left. The 58th Army's depot didn't take us in for nothing. We have to spend money. We have to pay for food, and we also need money to buy medicine. Our military uniforms are so worn that we can no longer wear them. What a fool.
Several old military uniforms also asked us for money. Anyway, everything has to be paid to the people in their military station." It was fine not to mention money. When the money matter was mentioned, Liu Shitou jumped on his feet and scolded the Yunnan Army guys in this military station.
Falling into the eyes of money.
"Just tell us how much money we have left. You're such a big kid and you've learned to call a shrew. I haven't taught you this." Seeing Liu Shitou's feet jumping and his body aching, Tang Cheng was furious.
It made me laugh and cry, but it also stopped Tangcheng from being obsessed with the pain of losing the old Northeast.
"Dayang still has 32 pieces. The gold bars haven't been moved yet. All 12 gold bars are on my body." Liu Shitou proudly lifted the hem of his military uniform and showed Tang Cheng the belt on his waist. The 12 gold bars were inserted like flying knives.
In the belt around Liu Shitou's waist. "But I have something to tell you. Don't be impatient." Liu Shitou smiled and leaned closer to Tang Cheng. "We spent a lot of money when we entered the military station.
Not only did I give them 30 yuan, I also gave them a Czech light machine gun."
Tang Cheng has always valued weapons, and the gift of the machine gun to the 58th Army was not a trivial matter. Liu Shitou did not have the guts to hide it from Tang Cheng. Seeing that Tang Cheng looked good after waking up, Liu Shitou boldly told the story about the machine gun.
Liu Shitou curled up his neck to wait for the scolding, but even after shrinking for a while, he didn't hear Tang Cheng scolding him. He raised his eyes and met Tang Cheng's eyes that were half-smiling but not smiling.
"Do I like swearing that much?" Tang Cheng wanted to give Liu Shitou a slap in the face, but both arms were wrapped with thick gauze, so he had to spit on Liu Shitou. "We only have nine people now, Mu
My husband and Xiaobao don't know how to use guns, so it's useless to keep machine guns. If you give them, you can give them to them. It's not a big deal."
