Chapter 12: Forced Retreat
The dozens of civilians dressed as people who appeared in Tang Cheng's sight were scattering more and more, Tang Cheng felt that it was somewhat similar to the straggler formation when the army was fighting and attacking, so he immediately pulled out his other shell gun, ready to shoot at any time. Although Tang Cheng slowed down, he didn't stop completely, because he was afraid that if he suddenly stopped, it would arouse the alarm of those people on the other side, there were dozens of people on the other side, and he only had two pistols, if these people were really unfavorable to him, Tang Cheng would not be the opponent of the other party.
"This is trouble" These people on the other side are all men with big shoulders and round waists, not a single old and weak woman or child, Tang Cheng's heart immediately chuckled and panicked. Such a group of people will definitely not be refugees, most of the refugees Tang Cheng has seen are dragged with their families, and there will be all strong men like this. Thinking quickly of countermeasures in his mind, the barge gun that Tang Cheng was hiding behind him had already pulled the hammer, as long as something was wrong, Tang Cheng would sweep the two of them first.
It seemed that Tang Cheng was too careful, and the strong men who looked like refugees on the opposite side stopped not far from Tang Cheng, and a man who looked like him greeted Tang Cheng in a voice, "Boss, let me ask you, how to go to Mengcheng?" The other party's Shaanxi accent made Tang Cheng's tense Xin relax slightly. On the way from Shanghai to Nanjing and after entering Nanjing, Tang Cheng saw through and encountered many Japanese infiltration troops, and most of the Japanese soldiers who could speak Chinese were accents from the areas outside Guanwai and Beiping, and Japanese soldiers with strong local dialect accents had not yet been encountered by Tang Cheng.
Although Tang Cheng subconsciously thought that the group of people on the opposite side would not be pretended to be Japanese soldiers, the shell gun he was hiding behind him was not withdrawn, and the index fingers of both hands were still on the trigger, ready to shoot at any time. The man on the other side didn't seem to expect Tang Cheng to answer so simply, and seemed to be a little overwhelmed by Tang's answer, the man was obviously stunned, and then continued to step forward as if he was about to continue talking to Tang Cheng.
"Just stand there and don't move, I said I don't know how to go to Mengcheng, and I haven't heard of Mengcheng." Seeing that the man continued to walk towards him, Tang Cheng took a few steps back very cooperatively, and then showed the shell gun he was carrying in his right hand. Although he didn't point the shell gun flat at the other party, Tang Cheng, who had been staring at the man, still saw the suspicion from the other party's eyes and facial expressions, this guy has definitely fought or been a soldier, because the reaction of the other side is definitely not what a civilian should have, this guy is too calm.
Tang Cheng showed the shell gun in his right hand to force the other party to stand in place, and then looked at the remaining strong men with the afterglow of the corner of his eye, no one rushed forward, but Tang Cheng felt that the position where the other party was standing was faintly forming an arc-shaped encirclement around him. "Who the hell are you?" As he spoke, Tang Cheng also showed up another shell gun, which would make the man standing opposite Tang Cheng stunned, he didn't expect that this kid who didn't look big actually had two shell guns, and they were both 20 rounds of fast and slow machines.
"Snap" The muzzle of the shell gun in Tang Cheng's right hand shook, and a bullet shot out, "I said it, don't move around, the gun doesn't have long eyes." A man on the other side blushed and glared at Tang Cheng viciously, just now he was still rubbing forward after Tang Cheng's warning, but Tang Cheng used it as a target for killing chickens and monkeys, although the bullet flew over his pants, but the person who was warned couldn't swallow this breath.
"Mengzi, don't move, everyone else is the same, without my order, even if you die here, you can't move." The man who stood opposite Tang Cheng turned around and warned the others behind him. He is the closest person to Tang Cheng, from Tang Cheng's unhesitation when he shoots and the expression on his face, it is not difficult to see that this small-looking kid has fought and killed people, and he must be extremely careful when confronting such a person, if he really annoys the other party, two 40 rounds of 20 rounds are enough for them to drink a pot.
"Well said, don't move, we have no grievances, and I won't shoot you casually." Tang Cheng waved the shell gun in his hand, signaling that these scattered people were all gathered together, and then pointed the muzzle of the shell gun in his left hand directly at the sky, "pop", "pop", "pop", "pop", and fired three shots in a row, which could be regarded as reporting to Liu Goat in the house. I don't know when they will be able to come over, Tang Cheng still pointed at this group of people with the shell gun in his hand, and more than 30 strong men were pointed at Tang Cheng with a gun but did not dare to move, because they knew that as long as they dared to move, the shell gun in Tang Cheng's hand would definitely fire immediately.
The morning was still quite cold, and after standing in the field for a long time, Tang Cheng's injured leg began to ache faintly, but unfortunately he didn't dare to move now, for fear that the other party would take the opportunity to rush over. Tang Cheng secretly scolded himself in his heart for being a stupid person, so stupid that he put himself in a dilemma, now it's okay, not only did the other party dare not move, but even he was chained here, Tang Cheng at this moment had never been so eager for Liu Goat's appearance.
Maybe Tang Cheng's secret anticipation played a role, or maybe it was Brother Tian Kui, who was guarding the carriage, who heard the gunshots, and not long after the three gunshots, Tang Cheng heard footsteps coming from behind him. Tang Cheng didn't dare to look back to see who was coming, but he guessed from the expression on the face of the man on the other side that the number of people who came over would definitely not be small, because the footsteps he heard were very dense. "Who are you?" Tang Cheng really heard Liu Goat's voice, and there were several Sichuan soldiers who could hold guns along with Liu Goat, Zhang Yun and Jiujin were among them.
"Boss, we are all fleeing, the bombs dropped by the little devil's plane at home have been destroyed, and we are all hopeless miserable people, so we want to run west to find our fellow villagers, but we got lost when we got here, and when we saw smoke on your side, we wanted to come over and ask for a question." The leading man on the opposite side put his hands into his sleeves and then collapsed, and immediately made a bitter look and poured bitter water with Liu Goat, and anyone who looked at it was a group of desperate refugees.
Don't need Tang Cheng's eyes at all, Liu Goat didn't believe what this man said just now, the people brought by Liu Goat were all holding guns in their hands, if this was really a group of lost refugees, they would never dare to stand upright and stand stupidly and confront the national army with guns in their hands, and the eyes of this group of people showed not fear and fear, but strong disdain and contempt, as long as Liu Goat was not a fool, he would never believe that they were just a group of refugees.
Of course, Liu Goat is not a fool, and he will not be deceived by a few nonsense words on the other side, but now the number of people on his side is not dominant, and before the other party shows his purpose, Liu Goat intends to brake quietly. "We're also lost, if you want to ask for directions or find a local, get out of here quickly, otherwise Lao Tzu's gun won't recognize people." Liu Goat deliberately put on an arrogant and domineering face, and forced the group to return to the avenue with a gun.
The leading man on the other side seemed to have something to say, but unfortunately Tang Cheng and Liu Goat's three shell guns were all aimed at him, and Jiujin, who had come back to his senses, also held a grenade in his hand, and after weighing the gains and losses, the leading man on the other side turned around and left with the group of refugees. "This group of people is definitely not refugees, you look carefully at the posture and position of their walking." Staring at the back of the group when they left, Liu Goat gave Tang Cheng on-site teaching.
"Look at the man in the black cotton jacket, that is, the man with one shoulder high and one shoulder low when walking, that body is obviously a machine gun material, and the right shoulder is low because of the long-term march with a machine gun, many machine gunners in our 88th Division are so virtuous when they walk." Tang Cheng followed Liu Goat's guidance and looked over, the man in the black cotton jacket was really one shoulder high and one shoulder low when he walked, if it wasn't for Liu Goat to make it clear, Tang Cheng really didn't notice this.
"And the guys who walked behind, their hands were always in their sleeves, it wasn't cold and warm, there should be something hidden in the sleeves, either short guns or daggers and knives or something." Liu Goat patted Tang Cheng's shoulder and said in a low voice, "You didn't let them get close just now, you did the right thing, if you let them lean to your side, as long as you take an arrow step, they can control you, and it will be too late for you to shoot." ”
Liu Goat pointed out a few suspicious people to Tang Cheng in that group of people, and after listening to Liu Goat's explanation, cold sweat had already broken out on Tang Cheng's forehead, and he had just walked through the ghost gate. Fortunately, some time ago, Liu Goat always instilled in himself the means of defending against others, otherwise he would have been taken down by these seemingly harmless guys just now, "Uncle Liu, thank you." Tang Cheng bowed deeply to Liu Goat, this was the first time he had saluted Liu Goat, and he was willing.
"You kid, give Lao Tzu all these things, and keep Lao Tzu's life alive." A suspicious red flashed on Liu Goat's face, and before Tang Cheng could raise his head, Liu Goat's face returned to normal. "I guess these guys are either bandits or selling tobacco, not this again." Liu Goat put his hand in front of Tang Cheng, and stretched out his thumb and index finger mysteriously, but Tang Cheng was confused.
"You don't even know this?" Liu Goat stared at Tang Cheng for a while, and saw that Tang Cheng really didn't understand what the gesture meant, so he lost interest in explaining to Tang Cheng, and just urged everyone to return to the Grange to pack up their things and prepare to leave. "Let's go, go back, hurry up and pack up our things and prepare to go to Mengcheng, if that guy is really a bandit, we are not their opponents."
