Chapter 56: Disguise

Seeing that it was almost noon, Ma Dabiao, who was hungry and cooing, began to fidget, and when he got up late, he only had time to pour a bowl of gruel. Ma Dabiao doesn't care about being scolded by those ordinary people as a traitor, he only cares if he can eat a full stomach, and those officials will not give him a chance to eat a full stomach, Ma Dabiao only gives his life to those who give him food.

"I said, don't grind circles there, okay, when it's time for lunch, someone will naturally come to replace us, it's useless for you to be in a hurry now." Jin Xiushan, who was guarding the checkpoint with Ma Dabiao, was also a little impatient, and planned to make a statement to ask Ma Debiao to stop the grinding circle. This is the second day that they have guarded this checkpoint, except for yesterday's interception of a guy who has no one to protect him, there has been no human figure in front of the checkpoint, if it weren't for the difficulty of giving up this military salary, Jin Xiushan might have taken off this ugly military uniform and become a homeless person.

"You ate two steamed buns in the morning of the dog's day, you don't have a backache when you stand and talk, you try to drink only one bowl of gruel tomorrow morning to see if you can still sit still." Ma Dabiao stretched his neck and looked in the direction of Luojiazhuang, and there was no figure in sight on the empty official road. Ma Dabiao looked at Jin Xiushan with some hesitation, "Do you think those guys only care about eating by themselves and forget about the two of us?" Knowing Ma Dabiao's dedication to eating, Jin Xiushan could only sigh in his heart, and simply turned his head and stopped paying attention to Ma Dabiao, a foodie.

While Ma Dabiao was looking around, Jin Xiushan, who also had nothing to do, suddenly stood up straight, and with just one movement, he put the rifle on his shoulder in his hand. "Foodie, don't look at it, there's someone in front." Jin Xiushan elbowed Ma Dabiao beside him, and pulled the bolt to load the bullet, Ma Dabiao also turned around and looked ahead, and what appeared in the sight of the two was not ordinary people, but four carts full of people.

"Foodie, you stand here in front of them, I'll go and hide in the dirt ditch next to me, if these people are wrong, I'll shoot, you remember to wait for me to shout, jump into the dirt ditch." A trench has been dug on the side of the wooden horse rejection at the checkpoint, and in his own habit, Jin Xiushan called the trench into a ditch. Ma Dabiao didn't know that Jin Xiushan was pushing himself in the most dangerous place, but according to Jin Xiushan's instructions, he put the bullet on fire, and then swaggered behind the horse.

Tang Cheng, who was sitting behind Lao Dongbei in the carriage, had already seen clearly with a telescope on the checkpoint, and saw one of the soldiers of the Imperial Association Army jumping into the trench by the side of the horse, Tang Cheng couldn't help but be a little stunned, could it be that there were other soldiers of the Imperial Association Army on this checkpoint? Whispering what he saw through the telescope to Lao Dongbei, Tang Cheng easily pulled the hammer of the shell gun away, and gestured to Liu Shishi on the carriages behind him.

Tang Cheng sat on the head car, and the old Northeast who drove out of the car was wearing the military uniform of the Imperial Cooperative Army, and the dice and Hou San, who were also wearing the military uniforms of the Japanese army, were also on the head car. The cart got closer and closer, and when he saw clearly that there were three Japanese soldiers and an imperial alliance sitting on the first car, Jin Xiushan, who had already jumped into the trench, hurriedly climbed out again. The Japanese soldiers on the dog day were moody, Niu Xiushan had suffered such a loss in Huandiqiao Town, he didn't want to slap these Japanese soldiers again.

"Which unit are you from? Where is your chief? Why are there only two of you here? According to Tang Cheng's instructions, the car stopped in front of the checkpoint, and Lao Dongbei didn't get off the car at all, so he pointed to Jin Xiushan and Ma Dabiao proudly and asked. Dice and Hou San didn't know Japanese, but they had seen what the Japanese soldiers were like when they were in Xia Jiawa, and when Lao Dongbei opened his mouth to ask these two soldiers of the Imperial Army, Dice and Hou San both tried to make an impatient face, which made Jin Xiushan, who was still a little suspicious in his heart, panic.

"We are the people of the 3rd Company of the Huangshi Imperial Association Army Garrison Regiment, and this Luojiazhuang that we only came to yesterday was ordered by the Taijun of Guidao in Huandiqiao Town to set up a card here, saying that the town needs someone to repair the artillery tower, and there are only two of us on this checkpoint, and the other 13 people are still in Luojiazhuang." Jin Xiushan is a guy who is used to talking with his eyes, and he thought that his words would leave a good impression in front of these Taijun, but who would have thought that Taijun, who got off the cart later, directly got off his own and Ma Dabiao's guns.

After figuring out that there was only one class of the Imperial Association Army in Luojiazhuang, Tang Cheng directly asked Dice and Hou San to fire the guns of these two Imperial Cooperative Army, and forced them to jump into the trench next to the rejection horse with the gun. "Let's kill it, let's go directly to Luojiazhuang, there is only one class of the Imperial Army, if the situation is good, maybe we can solve them without even firing a gun." Tang Cheng stood in the carriage and looked in the direction of Luojiazhuang with a telescope for a while, ordered to kill Jin Xiushan and the two, and then continued to march towards Luojiazhuang.

The unarmed Jin Xiushan and Ma Dabiao were stabbed to death in the trench with bayonets by the dice and Hou San, and the convoy continued to move forward, but the other Imperial Alliance soldiers in Luojiazhuang did not know about it, and they would all gather at the village chief's house in Luojiazhuang for lunch. Just as Ma Dabiao guessed, because they ate stewed meat at noon today, the other Imperial Association soldiers who stayed in Luojiazhuang had obviously forgotten to bring them food or replace them to go back to eat.

Tang Cheng didn't know that these imperial troops in Luojiazhuang had set up a total of two checkpoints, one was the official road to Aijiazhuang that they had just walked, and the other was the mountain road leading to Shiwanwan. The Imperial Association Army of one class is only 15 people, and 4 people are used in the two checkpoints, and only 11 Imperial Association troops are actually left in Luojiazhuang. "Don't rob it, your dog's grandson is a foodie, can you swallow the meat in your mouth first and then grab the meat? You eat like this and occupy the pot in your mouth, and the other brothers still can't eat it? ā€

When Tang Cheng and his party appeared at the entrance of Luojiazhuang Village, the 11 Imperial Cooperative Army remaining in Luojiazhuang were arguing around the cauldron of boiled meat, and Ma Gui, the squad leader who commanded these Imperial Cooperative Army, was a man who no one listened, no matter what he said, the other Imperial Cooperative Army soldiers still only cared about scrambling for the pieces of meat in the pot, and no one paid attention to Ma Gui at all. Ma Gui, who was swept away, scolded a few words and saw that no one took care of him, so he had to sit at the gate of the courtyard with his bowl of stew and sulk, if it weren't for the fact that he and Niu San were acquaintances, this squad leader would not have been able to do it, and it was precisely because of this that more than a dozen imperial troops under him were not very convinced of him.

Tang Cheng and they appeared outside Zhuangzi, and they were seen by the village chief of Luojiazhuang who was guarding the entrance of the village, he had never seen what the Japanese soldier commander was like, so he hurriedly ran home to report to Ma Gui to know. Ma Gui, who learned of this, shouted a few times, and saw that those guys were still only concerned about grabbing meat, so he raised his foot and kicked over the cauldron in the yard, "Don't rob the damn, there are a few big cars at the entrance of the village, and the village said that the people on the big cars are wearing different military uniforms from us, so they all take their guns and go out with Lao Tzu to have a look." ā€

When Niu Sanman's Imperial Association Army infantry company defeated Huandiqiao Town a few days ago, it had already been raised by their light yƬ momentum, Ma Gui did not expect that what came was a group of impermanence who demanded his life, and he also thought that as long as a dozen guns on his side were shown, the other party would only obediently wait for his big kick to go up. Luojiazhuang is much bigger than Xiajiawa and Tangqiao Village, when Tangcheng they entered the village, there were still some children chasing and frolicking behind the cart, which made Tangcheng on the cart a little crying and laughing, don't the people of Luojiazhuang know that these imperial allies are accomplices of the Japanese army?

Tang Cheng and others, who were wearing Japanese uniforms, were the objects of onlookers from Luojiazhuang, especially the steel helmets like small iron pots on their heads, which were pointed at by Luojiazhuang people for a while. "Which part of you are?" Ma Gui, who hurriedly came with people, lowered the muzzle of the gun early, but they followed the Japanese soldiers all the way north to return to Diqiao Town, so they naturally knew that Tangcheng was wearing the military uniform of the Japanese army. Although he knew that Tang Cheng was wearing Japanese military uniforms, Ma Gui still followed Niu Sanman's explanation and asked a tough question.

Tang Cheng's fluent Japanese made Ma Gui believe that these were Japanese soldiers, and the nonsense of the old Northeast also made Ma Gui know that these dozen people were troops from Baoan Town. "It turns out that Taijun is the army of Baoan Town, and we are the Imperial Association Army of Huandiqiao Town, and we are ordered to garrison this Luojiazhuang." After confirming that Tang Cheng was a genuine Japanese soldier, Ma Gui bent his waist even lower when he spoke, and the soldiers of the Imperial Association Army who followed behind him didn't even dare to raise their heads.

Now that he has gained the trust of the other party, the rest of the things are easy to do, with the flickering of the old northeast, Ma Gui took Tang Cheng and his party to the courtyard where the smell of meat was still diffused. When the village chief who came to report also entered the courtyard, Tang Cheng secretly gave the old northeast a look, and a wail sounded in the courtyard with the old northeast's unexpected sneak attack. The village chief's family widened their eyes, watching as these newly arrived Taijun and the Imperial Association Army gagged Ma Gui and his group and tied them up with ropes.

"You're the village chief here?" Tang Cheng looked at the village chief who was taken out of the stove room by Liu Shishi, and the latter's trembling at this time was not because Tang Cheng and they had tied up Ma Gui and his group, but because Tang Cheng was talking about standard Chinese at this time. As long as you are not a fool, you will already be able to understand Tang Cheng's identity, and sure enough, Tang Cheng's next sentence made the village chief slump in his yard in horror, "Don't be afraid, we are the national army, and we are here to fight little devils." ā€
