Chapter VII Garrison outside the city

Tang Cheng took Jiu Jin and wandered around Nanjing for a whole morning without a clue. Tang Cheng was a man who never lost his mouth. While he still had money in his pocket, he took Jiu Jin and prepared to find a place to eat well.

After our last meal, we walked all the way and found that most of the restaurants along the road were closed. The few that were open for business only had food like porridge and flatbreads, which made Tangcheng feel a little disappointed.

Jiu Jin doesn't care what he eats.

There were not many pedestrians on the street. Tangcheng returned to Shanghai before the war in a trance. When there were rumors in the streets that Japanese soldiers were about to attack Shanghai, most of the Shanghai citizens who rushed to tell others were huddled at home. Little did they know that their homes were also

It is not a completely safe place. "Oh, Xiaocheng, it's really you." A black car slowly stopped beside Tangcheng, and out of the car was Yan Mei, the daughter-in-law of the old man surnamed Wu, "Wearing

I almost didn’t dare to recognize **’s military uniform. He is such a handsome young man.”

Tang Cheng, who had a thick skin, blushed at Yan Mei's praise, which made Yan Mei laugh uncontrollably. "Sister Mei, don't you work at the German Consulate? How come you have time to hang out?" Tang Cheng

I just heard from the old man surnamed Wu that Yan Mei was a translator and doctor at the German Consulate. Yan Mei, who had both professions, should stay in the consulate at this time. Tang Cheng was somewhat curious when she suddenly appeared here.

Looking around and seeing no one around, Yan Mei pulled Tang Cheng aside and whispered, "Germany and Japan are allies. The Japanese army will not attack the German consulate. Several foreigners in Nanjing are planning to organize an international zone to accommodate those

Nanjing citizens affected by the war. I am also one of the organizers. I came out this time to buy food and medicine. If Nanjing is really captured by the Japanese army, food and medicine will become a big problem, so we must prepare in advance."

Naturally, Tang Cheng didn't know what the so-called international zone was for. This was just what Yan Mei said. In Tang Cheng's subconscious, he didn't think that the vicious Japanese soldiers would let go of the refugees after the city was broken.

When they were in Shanghai, didn't those Japanese soldiers almost burn Sister Emma to death? If he hadn't taken action in time, Sister Emma might have been burned to black ashes, so Tang Cheng didn't think Yan

No matter what the use of Mei's international zone, if possible, Tangcheng would still choose to take up arms and fight the Japanese to the death.

After being transferred to Guanghua Gate, Tangcheng has seen too many refugees fleeing to Nanjing in the past few days. Without exception, these refugees with their families have pinned their hopes on the tall walls of Nanjing City. What will they think of?

The Japanese army not only had aircraft and artillery, but they also had tanks and armored vehicles like battering rams. The city walls were only a product of the cold weapon era. Facing powerful hot weapons, the tall city walls of Nanjing may not be able to withstand the Japanese attack.

And bombing, Tang Cheng saw with his own eyes the craters left after the Japanese naval bombardment in Shanghai. The craters were so big that they could fit a car.

"By the way, didn't you say you were going to Sichuan? Why did you stay in the Second Company again?" After talking to Tang Cheng for a while, Yan Mei remembered that Tang Cheng and Jiu Jin were now wearing military uniforms. Tang Cheng that day

When she left her home, she vowed to go to Sichuan. Why not only did she not leave, but she also put on the military uniform of the Communist Party.

"You also know that I stayed in the Second Company for a while. The Second Company was beaten in Shanghai and only a dozen people were left. I got along with them for a while, so I have a fate with the Second Company." Tang Cheng was only rough.

After explaining a few words, seeing that Yan Mei was a little anxious, he continued, "I have agreed with them that as soon as additional troops arrive, Jiujin and I will leave the Second Company and go to Sichuan. The Second Company is currently serving as a commander at Guanghua Gate.

Warning, this is when we need people, we can’t leave yet.”

After chatting with Tang Cheng for a few more words, Yan Mei, who was in a hurry to do something, left first. However, before leaving, Yan Mei repeatedly asked Tang Cheng to take Jiu Jin to visit the old couple and Xiao Guoer when she was free. She also said

The day Tang Cheng left her home, Xiao Guoer cried for the whole day. Faced with Yan Mei's invitation, Tang Cheng just nodded perfunctorily, but he knew that he would never wander around the city like today again.

Yes, as the war approaches, the second company will only be shouted around by the teaching team, and the people of the second company will not be given the opportunity and time to idle.

Turning a street corner, Tang Cheng met several students who were giving speeches and raising funds on the street corner. Seeing those students crying and shouting, Tang Cheng's already numb heart was hit hard. Several

A few months ago, wasn't it the same for me when I was giving a speech to raise funds on the streets of Shanghai with Xiao Yalan and the others? I took out two pieces of ocean and handed it to Jiu Jin, who asked Jiu Jin to throw the two pieces of ocean into the donation box. Regardless of the female student's questioning, Tang

Cheng La Jiujin squeezed out of the crowd and disappeared at the street corner.

As expected, Tang Cheng found a restaurant for a big meal with Jiujin and returned to Erlian's yard. Liu Yangyang was heard throwing a tantrum in the room, saying that Xie Chengrui asked Erlian to serve as the man outside the city.

A garrison task in a temporary position. It is now December, and most of the people in the second company are still wearing single clothes. They were driven out of the city to garrison in the fields on such a day. I don’t know whether it is because the temporary position is critical or because Xie Chengrui

I am intentionally torturing Erlian.

"Let's try to get some cotton-padded clothes first. It's such a cold day to be stationed outside the city. There's not even a place to sleep there. If we keep everyone in single clothes, it won't take three days. We won't have many people left in the second company.

I'm alone." Seeing Liu Yangyang's hysteria, Tang Cheng felt annoyed for no reason. The original Liu Yangyang was not like this, so why did he become an angry person easily when he arrived in Nanjing?

I don’t know what Liu Yangyang said when he went to Xie Chengrui’s place. It was completely dark in Tiandou, so Liu Yangyang took Nianzi and Niuwazi back to the station. There was a cart coming back with them, and on the cart was Xie Chengrui’s hair.

Winter clothes for the Second Company. Tang Cheng took a winter coat from the cart, stretched out his hand to touch the thin layer of cotton wool, and thought to himself that such a winter coat might not be much better than the single clothes everyone is wearing now.

"Damn it, these guys from the teaching corps really don't regard our second company as their own. Look at these cotton trousers I have, they are so short." The cook Lao Hai put a pair of cotton trousers on his legs.

When I went to bed, I found that the crotch and waist of the trousers were just right, but the trouser legs were too long. The cotton trousers were worn on Lao Hai's legs, and he looked like a hanged man.

"Shut up and calm down for a while. Some of them look good. Yesterday I saw a few guys who I heard were from the Sichuan Army. In this cold weather, these guys were actually wearing straw sandals. Although we can't compare.

Those guys from the teaching corps are much better than the Sichuan Army." Seeing that they were all picky guys, Liu Yangyang cursed again for no reason, and then he temporarily suppressed the guys who were fighting and fighting. It was Liu Yangyang's turn.

When he was alone, his cotton-padded jacket actually had two sleeves that were not the same length on one side, which made the scolded people laugh at him.

"Nianzi, go get the ammunition. We have been given a light machine gun this time. Remember to ask for more machine gun bullets and grenades. These things will be useful at night." The matter of winter clothes was already like this, and Liu Yangang turned his energy to

When it came to collecting ammunition, the cigarettes contributed by Tang Cheng last time worked, so when going back to collect ammunition, Liu Yangzi asked Nianzi to take Tang Cheng with him.

"You guys from the second company didn't see me shooting, but you were very diligent in getting this ammunition. I don't know if you took all the ammunition and sold it for money." The quartermaster who was scolded by Liu Yangyang as a pig's head is indeed a majestic figure. In Tangcheng,

It seems that the waist circumference of this group has already caught up with their height. Seeing that Nianzi and Tang Cheng ignored his insults, Fatty Military Quartermaster looked down at the ammunition supply list that Nianzi brought, "A Czech light machine gun, a light machine gun

There are three boxes of bullets, three boxes of hand grenades, and one box of Mauser pistol ammunition. You, the Second Company, think that our teaching corps is an arsenal, and the ammunition has been given to you. What will happen to the troops of our teaching corps?"

Reaching out and grabbing Nianzi's arm, Tang Cheng signaled Nianzi not to get angry with his eyes. Tang Cheng knelt down and picked up the ammunition application form that the fat man had thrown on the ground. Then he said with a smile, "Sir, our second company was sent to the city."

Hold the outpost position outside. This ammunition supply list was signed by Commander Xie himself. Could it be that you want us to go back empty-handed and tell Commander Xie that our Second Company cannot carry out the mission because we have not received the ammunition supply? I don’t know.

Is this responsibility our Second Company’s or yours, sir?”

Tang Cheng took out a few French coins from his pocket and put them in the ammunition supply list and handed them to the fat quartermaster again. With the latter twirling his fingers, the banknotes disappeared from the supply list. "Okay.

, you guys are quite good at things. I won’t argue with you today. I will give you things. However, I will lose one box of machine gun bullets and I can only give you one box of hand grenades. I do have pistol bullets. I will give you one more box.

It doesn't matter." The fat man signed his name on the supply list with a stroke of his pen.

The quartermaster has already signed, and you can pick up the items with this list. Nianzi, who suppressed his temper, kept a gloomy face until all the things they received were loaded onto the cart, and Nianzi grinned.

"I also said that it would be good if we could get 30% of the stuff. Now, we can get more than half of it. We can put those rifles to use and can support several light machine guns."

Liu Yangyang was also very happy when the ammunition was brought back to the small courtyard. He didn't expect that the quartermaster was also greedy for money. Liu Yangyang was even thinking about whether to ask Tangcheng to find the fat military supplies again, and maybe he could get it from that old boy again.

Grab something in your hand and take it out. The outpost assigned by the teaching corps to the Second Company is 6 or 7 miles away from the city gate. The cook who doesn’t want to go to the battlefield can’t escape this time. We can’t wait for him to deliver it from the city every day.

The meal was over, so Liu Yangyang loaded all the men and supplies of the second company into the truck and pulled them all out of the city at once.
