Tang Cheng kept his face calm and didn't speak, and the others didn't dare to ask, and the group left Xia Jiawa and walked aimlessly in the direction of Baoan Town. "Am you saying I'm too useless? If it weren't for my arrangement, maybe those villagers wouldn't have died, and Xia Jiawa wouldn't have been set on fire by the Japanese army. Tang Cheng looked up at Lao Northeast with self-reproach, he hoped that Lao Northeast could accuse himself, maybe his heart would be better.

Knowing what Tang Cheng was thinking, Lao Dongbei did not open his mouth to accuse as Tang Cheng expected, but shook his head. "You're doing the right thing, none of us are wrong, it's the little devils who are wrong. It was the people they killed, the houses they killed, we killed those devil soldiers, not only avenged the dead villagers, but also saved the rest of the people, they should be grateful to us. The rare strictness in the old Northeast made Tang Cheng's heart suddenly feel a lot less.

Yes, although there were people dead in the village, and the Japanese soldiers lost their houses, but he saved other villagers, if it wasn't for his own people who killed those Japanese soldiers, maybe Xia Jiawa would have become even worse, and the culprit should be the Japanese. Tang Cheng, who felt better, stretched out his legs and kicked Liu Shishi, who was sitting on the carriage, down, and then stretched his waist and lay down on the carriage.

"Baoan Town can't go, didn't the wounded Japanese soldier who was caught by the dice say that they have already taken control of Baoan Town, let's just throw ourselves into the net in the past, let's change the route, first find a suitable place to stop, and then look for an opportunity to cross Baoan Town and Jinniu Town." After lying in the carriage for a while, Tang Cheng, who was very bored, turned over and sat up, and began to look through the Japanese military map that he had found from Jiro Hirota. The military map of the Japanese army is very detailed, and Tangcheng can even find the location of Dazi Mountain on this map full of Japanese.

"So what do you say? You are the company commander, so naturally you have the final say, and if you say go that way, let's follow. The old northeast head sitting on the wheel didn't reply. I pondered, anyway, we are going south, why can't we avoid the Golden Bull Town, so let's just go directly to the Golden Bull Town, and when we get to the Golden Bull Town, we will go directly to the Golden Bull Town while it is dark, I don't believe that the little devil can block the surroundings of the Golden Bull Town. ”

Lao Dongbei said this can be said to be full of confidence, although they now have only 7 people left, but there are two machine guns, more than 2,000 bullets or something, plus two grenadiers and dozens of Japanese-style grenades, their current firepower is to meet the Japanese army again A small force of troops also has the ability to fight with all their might. Tang Cheng didn't think about the same countermeasures as Lao Northeast, but there were only 7 people left, only the three of them plus Zhao Baokun and the four of them were really fighting, and they were okay with the dice, and they were really against the Japanese army, and it was already good if they didn't desert the dice.

"Then let's go in the direction of Huandiqiao Town, and after passing Huandiqiao Town, pass between Bijia Mountain and Dahong Mountain, and maybe we can bypass the Japanese army in Baoan Town." Tang Cheng lowered his head and looked at the spread out Japanese military map for a long time before he found a fairly safe route. "Tell the brothers to be careful, since the Japanese army can appear in Xiajiawa, there may be sporadic Japanese troops on the side of the bridge, and our road is not easy."

Lao Dongbei was very unimpressed with Tang Cheng's words, ", it's not like we haven't fought with the little devil's stragglers, starting from Macheng, we have been cowardly that time, and when we meet the little devil, we just hit it directly, why do you still make everyone scared." "Courage comes from strength, although there are only four of them in Tangcheng who have really fought now, but since they entered the second company, Lao Dongbei even walks with a tiger's style, and when he speaks, his courage is also a lot rougher.

Tang Cheng's worries were naturally not superfluous, and just as the seven of them were wearing civilian clothes and turning back to Diqiao Town, the Japanese troops of Moyo's squad were marching towards Huidiqiao Town with more than 100 Imperial Cooperative troops. "Taijun of Turtle Island, not far ahead is Huandiqiao Town, as long as we occupy this Huandiqiao Town, the northern Hubei region will be firmly controlled by the imperial army." Niu Sanman, the commander of the Imperial Allied Army Company, who nodded his head, was whispering to Captain Kameshima Gohara, who commanded the pair of Japanese troops, at this time, and the town of Huandiqiao was directly in front of them.

After the Battle of Wanjialing, although the troops of the Nationalist Army were ordered to move away, a large number of wounded remained in the Jiujiang area, and with those ubiquitous guerrillas, the Japanese army after crossing the river did not have a very good time. The Japanese army was exhausted by the guerrilla organizations that had blossomed everywhere behind enemy lines, and the Japanese army, which had no choice but to resort to an ingenious method, used a large number of Japanese troops at the squadron level to carry out the division and garrison of troops in the occupied areas, and used the method of dividing and compressing the activity space of the guerrilla organizations in order to achieve the intention of forcing the guerrilla organizations to move south or west.

Kameshima Gohara's rank of captain was newly promoted, and there were not many officers like him who commanded a squad with the rank of captain in the Japanese army, and if it weren't for the heavy casualties among the junior officers in the wing, it would not have been his turn as a captain to command a squad at all. Being able to independently command the strength of a team, Kameshima Gohara is very excited, and the decline of the family makes Kameshima Gohara eager to be recognized by others and be able to lead the troops independently, so he has a way to rely on his military exploits to continue to rise.

"Niu Sang, your great good, as long as your Imperial Alliance Army has a good table, I will report it to the United Team according to the truth." It's just that Kamejima Gohara, who is rough in Chinese, doesn't mean anything, but Niu Sanman doesn't dare to laugh, but instead shows an expression that is willing to smear the liver and brain of Kamejima Gohara. Niu Sanman swore that he wanted Kameshima Wuyuan to send his own Imperial Alliance Army as a spearhead, and he would take and return the town of Diqiao to Kameshima Gohara as a congratulatory gift for promotion.

"Kameshima-kun, why do you want to give the task of taking the lead to these people who have surrendered to us? I can't trust their fighting power. Niu Sanman, who got the task of being a top soldier, took his Imperial Association Army and roared towards Huandiqiao Town, but Heixin, a fellow villager of Turtle Island Wuyuan, recruited him. Compared with Kameijima, Hei Xin is a typical militarist, and from his bones he looks down on the Chinese, even if Niu Sanman has defected to the empire and become the imperial army.

"Hei Xinjun, China is too big, although the warriors of the empire are brave, but our number is too small, if we want to control this country, we can't do without people like Niu Sanman." Kameshima Gohara, who was holding a command knife, stood on his feet and fought with his feet apart, putting on a look of pointing the country. "Don't you think it's a good thing to let people like Niu Sanman and them take the lead for us? We can both gain control of the country and reduce the casualties of the warriors. In the words of the Chinese people, Niu Sanman and they are just slaves of the empire, are you still afraid that these minions dare to be unfavorable to the empire? ”

Although Hei Xin despised Kameishima's style of pointing out the country from the bottom of his heart, he had to admit that what Kameshima had just said was right, that China's population was too large, and if the empire wanted to completely control the country, it would not be enough to rely on the Japanese alone. Niu Sanman's speed in taking Huandiqiao Town was far beyond Heixin's expectations, and more than 100 soldiers of the Imperial Association Army directly occupied the town with only one charge, except for Niu Sanman who shot and killed a donkey in the town in order to establish his authority, and the Imperial Association Army under him did not even fire a gun.

"Kameshima-kun, please forgive me for my previous suspicions, what you did was right, the body of our imperial warriors should not be consumed in such a place." Riding a horse slowly into the town of Huandiqiao, Heixin was very sincere and admitted his mistake to Kameshima Gohara. For this fellow villager in the same year as himself, Kameshima Gohara has always been suppressed, who called the black letter family before joining the army was a local rich man, and the other party could take the initiative to admit his mistakes, Kameshima Gohara was obviously very satisfied, but he didn't know that when Heixin bowed his head and admitted his mistake, he was resenting Kameshima Gohara, the son of a tenant.

The Turtle Island squad occupied the town of Huandiqiao, and did not immediately take the town as the center to clear the anti-Japanese forces everywhere, but stopped to rest and wait for the squadron's next order. The Japanese army stayed in Huandiqiao Town to rest, but Niu Sanman's Imperial Association Army was not idle, under the banner of going out to collect grain, the Imperial Association Army was divided into several roads to plunder grain and money everywhere. Tangcheng They didn't know that the Japanese army had occupied Huandiqiao Town, after leaving Xiajiawa, Tangcheng and they turned directly to Luojiazhuang, and several villages along the way did not find any Japanese troops, and Zhao Baokun and Dice who went out to explore the road were scattered.

"Brother Zhao, there is Tangqiao Village in front, this Tangqiao Village is not more than 3 miles away from Luojiazhuang, let's go to Tangqiao Village to find some water, my throat is dry and about to smoke." The young man who spoke was the guide they had found in Tang Cheng halfway through, and this young man named Lin Jiadong was a poor jingle bachelor. Tang Cheng only said that they were foot merchants selling goods, just to avoid the Japanese army going to Huandiqiao Town, and hired Lin Jiadong as a guide with only one ocean.

There has been no sign of the Japanese army, Zhao Baokun and the dice, who were closed to news, were a little carried away, and when they saw Lin Jiadong say so, they did not object, and the three of them walked towards Tangqiao Village within sight. Niu Jinshui is the nephew of Niu Sanman, with more than 30 Imperial Cooperative Army in Luojiazhuang to grab grain, I heard that there is a beautiful widow in Tangqiao Town, on a whim Niu Jinshui brought his Imperial Association soldiers to this Tangqiao Village. In the face of the bright bayonet, the people of Tangqiao Village naturally didn't dare to say anything, and when Zhao Baokun and them entered the village, they were just in time for Niu Jinshui to rob people out of the village.

Zhao Baokun and dice, who went out to investigate, only brought a short gun, but the dice still had two grenades on their bodies, and suddenly collided with Niu Jinshui who came out of the village. "Dice, throw grenades, let's retreat." Zhao Baokun's reaction was the fastest. Without waiting for Niu Jinshui and the others to react, he pulled out a short gun from his back waist and snapped a few shots.
