Wanyan rejected the other party's door-to-door solicitation, Tang Cheng began to secretly consider the pros and cons of temporarily staying in Xiushui, the other party had already said very clearly in his words just now, the military headquarters of the 20th Army was stationed in Baishaling, but Xiushui County was also within the defense range of the 20th Army, and if these people were forcibly requisitioned by the 20th Army, I am afraid they could only consider themselves unlucky.

"I think it's better to leave, there are more than 20 soldiers, we are only a few people, we can't fight them, if people come hard, we can only give in in the end." The old northeast could see it, and Tang Cheng was a little sullen, so he persuaded Tang Cheng to leave Xiushui. "Lao Huang, their injuries are not very serious, and besides, don't we also have a medical officer now" It's a big deal to walk slower after leaving Xiushui, and recuperate from your injuries while hurrying, and you can stay here to see the eyes of their 20th Army."

"It's easy for you to say, the south bank of Xiushui is all troops of the 20th Army, Zhang Leshan can use a telegram to tell the colonel who came just now, and he can also tell the other people, I'm afraid this matter is a bit difficult to do." Tang Cheng can't think of a place like Lao Northeast, he has to think about the safety of the people around him, if it is suitable for the Japanese army, it is easy to say, but if he is killed by his own people without knowing it, it is really worth the loss.

"No, no matter how you say it, it's all devils, what kind of ability is it to get your own people." Xu guessed what Tang Cheng was worried about, and Lao Dongbei immediately widened his eyes. Since Robert's death, Tang Cheng has long ceased to be the ignorant boy who messes around on the streets, Xie Bo's departure and the death of Liu Goat have had a greater impact on Tang Cheng, coupled with the hardships experienced all the way south, although Tang Cheng at this time can not be regarded as a sophisticated plan, but it can also be regarded as the last four brains turned fast. Although the Sichuan Army has not been treated by the Chairman and the Ministry of Military Affairs, in this small Xiushui, there are still 20 troops with great strength, and there are only about 20 wounded people on their side, including Huang Chengzhong, if they are bitten by the 20th Army, there will not even be a chance to escape. "I've been wondering what we're going south for after we cross the river, but I can't think of an answer that satisfies me. Let's say that we are a rout, but we are also fighting little devils all the way south, saying let's resist the war, but we are indeed getting farther and farther away from the Japanese army. ”

Tang Cheng's introspective complaints obviously also affected Lao Dongbei, and the two sat quietly outside the inn gate smoking cigarettes, but their eyes were full of confusion when they looked at each other. Tang Cheng would have such an idea, obviously not a whim or something hysteria, since leaving Macheng, Tang Cheng wanted to stay away from the battlefield, and was transferred to Xiaojieling in order not to let the injured people of Jiujin and them be dragged to be cannon fodder, and then recruited Hou San They were just to have a little more confidence on the way south, who knew that this battle was fought one after another, Tang Cheng was completely confused, and he didn't know what he wanted.

"I've never told you how I became a soldier, and the people who know about it are gone." Taking the cigarette handed by Lao Dongbei and lighting it, the old god of Tangcheng looked at a small pebble at his feet and said slowly. "I was a student before I joined the army, a student who only knew how to play all day, and I was also an incompetent student. While everyone else was studying with the teacher in the classroom, I was hanging out on the streets with those who were not teaching or drinking, and I had been to and seen many places in Peking and Shanghai. ”

"My adoptive father was an American missionary, so I grew up in a church school, where there are children of wealthy businessmen and children from small families, as long as you are religious, the church school will admit your children to school." Although he didn't know what a church school was, he knew what a church was, what a missionary was, and what a religion was, and these things were also found in Northeast China.

"I was an orphan who was adopted by my adoptive father when I was a child, and I followed my adoptive father to many places since I was a child. A few days before the Japanese army attacked Shanghai, I happened to know Brother Xie Boxie, the commander of the Second Company at that time, and I didn't know that I would have an entanglement with Brother Xie. I always knew that my adoptive father was a secret man, but he didn't tell me, so I couldn't ask, this is a tacit understanding between us, and only people who really treat each other as family can have such a tacit understanding. ”

"That day, my adoptive father told me that I was going to go out, and I thought it was just a normal outing, but my adoptive father came back with an injury, and the wound was still poisonous, and I later learned that my adoptive father had been poisoned by the Japanese. There was actually a lot of chaos in the concession, even though my adoptive father was an American, but the Concession Patrol said that it was a headless case, and in the end it was just closed. When Tang Cheng said this, there was already moisture in his eyes, his tone suddenly became a little higher, and his fingers holding the cigarette were shaking even more.

"When my adoptive father died, he had already given me a passport to the United States, and his friends insisted on taking me back to the United States, but I couldn't, I wanted revenge, I couldn't let my adoptive father die so inexplicably." Tang Cheng told Lao Dongbei about his experience in a dry voice, but he didn't know that Tan Fei, who had always been silent, had quietly hidden behind them and listened carefully, even if Lao Dongbei discovered his own existence, Tan Fei still didn't leave.

"Later, I went to the streets to look for the Japanese, and finally found a Japanese sushi restaurant as my target, and on the night of the Japanese attack on Shanghai, I killed three Japanese with my own hands and burned the sushi restaurant with a fire. I didn't know what I thought at the time, so I took all my money to find a former friend and bought weapons and bullets from him, and I wanted to continue to kill the Japanese to avenge my adoptive father, and then I learned that the Japanese army and the national army had started a war in Shanghai. ”

"You don't know how happy I was when I learned the news, once the war began, I didn't have to worry about the people in the patrol house to kill the Japanese. But I never imagined that the war would be so cruel, I saw with my own eyes that houses were razed to the ground in the Japanese artillery fire, and I saw with my own eyes those soldiers of the Nationalist Army who were wounded on the battlefield were carried down and sent to the hospital, the hospital was not big enough, and many wounded soldiers could only lie in the street outside the hospital, with blood stains everywhere and moans everywhere. ”

"By chance, I led the way for a team of national troops, but we encountered the Japanese army on the road, and the whole team survived me, but when I was unconscious, I was already incorporated into a company without a number as a civilian man." Speaking of the company at that time, Tang Cheng's ears seemed to sound again with the artillery fire and the tragic shouting of killing, "That was the first time I went to the battlefield, and the moment the shells landed and exploded, I was almost scared to pee my pants." Tang Cheng laughed at himself and ushered in the laughter of the old northeast who felt the same way, no one can stay calm on the battlefield for the first time, and the old northeast is no exception.

"The task of our company is to hold a street intersection and cut off the possibility of Japanese infiltration and breakthrough to other places, but you know what, in just two days, our entire company was gone. The last few remaining veterans were carrying grenades to charge the Japanese army, and they were right in front of my eyes, carrying grenades with strings and the ghost soldiers who rushed up, and I was the last one alive. Relying on my own pistol and bullets recovered from the corpse, I stood by myself for another half an hour, and was finally rescued by a group of Red Cross people back to the hospital in the rear. ”

"After recuperating in the hospital, I returned to the church, the church was in the concession, the Japanese army did not dare to fight the idea of the concession, but the people of the military commander were eyeing me, I had to turn to Brother Xie for help, it happened that the second company also suffered heavy casualties and was forced to retreat to Qiandeng Town by the 88th Division to rest, so I followed them all the way to Qiandeng Town, that is, from Suzhou unwillingly." When Tang Cheng said this, Lao Dongbei could be regarded as somewhat understanding the entanglement between Tang Cheng and Erlian.

"When I arrived in Qiandeng Town, I began to really get in touch with the army, and Brother Xie also taught me a lot of things, and the veterans of the second company taught me a lot of skills to save my life on the battlefield." Glancing at Lao Dongbei, Tang Cheng said with a smile, "But I still didn't join the second company at that time, I entered the second company after I arrived in Nanjing, when the second company withdrew to Nanjing, Xie Bo, who lost an arm, had been transferred to Chongqing, and Liu Goat became the new company commander, and I was forced into the second company by him." ”

"In the city of Nanjing, I was finally able to use what I learned on the battlefield, and then the Japanese army broke through the Guanghua Gate, I followed Liu Goat to fight with the Japanese army in the city, and then I couldn't stand it, and saw that the other troops had withdrawn, so we followed a group of routs over the Rujiang Gate and crossed the river to Mengcheng. Liu Goat's greatest ability is to pull the team, we originally just planned to take a short rest in Mengcheng and then look for the troops of the 88th Division to cross the river, no one thought that we would pull a new second company in Mengcheng. ”

"I am the commander of the second company who took over after the Japanese army attacked Mengcheng, but I don't have the ability of my Uncle Liu, I left Mengcheng until we withdrew to Wuhan to rest, the number of people in the second company has not been completed, and now, there are only a few of you around me. When I think about it, it's really annoying in my head, and I don't even know what I'm trying to do. Sitting outside the door with Lao Dongbei and talking so much, the stuffiness accumulated in Tang Cheng's heart seemed to be all emanated, throwing away the cigarette butts between his fingers, Tang Cheng patted his ass and seemed to enter the inn easily.

"I heard it, you kid just listen to it, shut your mouth to Lao Tzu, if I know that you tell other people about this, Lao Tzu will take your life." Tang Cheng left, and Lao Dongbei also got up and stood up, but when passing by Tan Fei's side, Lao Dongbei warned with a calm face, regardless of whether the latter remembered his warning or not, at this moment, Lao Northeast really had murderous intentions towards Tan Fei.
