Tang Cheng's appearance here was not accidental, he had just arrived at Macheng after leaving Wuhan, and before he had time to set up camp, he was pulled to the right flank of the entire Xiaojieling defense line by the combat staff officer sent by Sun Lianzhong. After the Japanese army captured the mall, Sun Lianzhong deployed all three corps of the corps in the area of Shawo and Xiaojieling, preparing for a decisive battle with the enemy. The Corps took positions on the left and right flanks to meet the enemy, with the 30th and 42nd Armies as the right flanks and the 71st Corps as the left flank.

Originally, according to the order of the second company, the second company should be transferred to the left flank of the defense line to join the 88th Division, but at the same time that the Ministry of Military Affairs sent a new order to the second company, there was also an order related to the second company that had been telegraphed to Sun Lianzhong. Sun Lianzhong didn't understand how the Ministry of Military Affairs could not get along with a small infantry company, but the weapons and ammunition allocated by the Ministry of Military Affairs to the 30th Army had already departed from Wuhan, and if he did not act in accordance with the orders of the Ministry of Military Affairs, the weapons and ammunition that should have been allocated to the 30th Army might be far away or short of two catties.

Tang Cheng's second company cut out the injured people who stayed in Wuhan, there were still 110 people left, Tang Cheng didn't even see the big guys of the 30th Army, so he was fooled out of the defense line to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, the reason was that the second company was once stationed in Macheng and was familiar with the terrain here. On the right side of the Xiaojieling defense line and the 30th Army confronted the Japanese 13th Division, although the 13th Division also added a lot of recruits after the Battle of Fujin Mountain, while confronting the 30th Army, constantly discharged scout troops to spy on the Xiaojieling defense line, Tangcheng Their task this time was to reconnoiter the deployment of the 13th Division and clear the scout troops of the 13th Division.

"These things kicked us out without even giving us time to catch their breath." Lao Dongbei, who was holding a light machine gun, complained as he walked, and Niu Laogui's face was not very good at this time. Niu Laogui is also an old oilman who has been in the national army for ten years, and he has never seen such a troop transfer and arrangement, but the second company is subordinate to the 88th Division but is not allowed to return to the building, but was transferred to do reconnaissance in front of the enemy, all of which are too abnormal.

Lao Dongbei was unhappy, and Niu Lao Gui was extremely depressed, but fortunately, their face was not transmitted to the rest of the second company. Not far from the defense line of the 30th Army, Tang Cheng divided the second company into three, he himself took the first row of sunspots, Lao Dongbei took the second platoon, and the remaining three platoons belonged to Niu Lao Gui. The two companies divided into three strands searched forward in a zigzag shape, and while concealing their whereabouts, Tang Cheng would not be bothered by the bitter face of Lao Dongbei and Niu Lao Gui.

Tang Cheng didn't realize that this was Sun Lianzhong's cooperation with the Ministry of Military Affairs to set himself up again, on the defense line of the 30th Army, most of the soldiers Tang Cheng saw were recruits, and a unit half of them were recruits did need a unit like the Second Company that was familiar with the terrain to take on the reconnaissance mission. Tang Cheng once made a sand table in Macheng, in order to make this sand table, the people of the Huang family once almost traveled all over the mountains and fields of Macheng, although it was not 100% accurate, but Tang Cheng They did know more about the terrain of Macheng than the 30th Army.

The second company that moved forward in the shape of a zigzag, a row carried by Tang Cheng was located at the position of the arrow, there were sunspots and the existence of the four of them, and the two consecutive groups of Japanese scouts were successfully solved by them, until they were resting on a lush slope, and they happened to meet Su Datong and them. With the experience of fighting in the northern mountains of Mengcheng, as soon as Tang Cheng left the defense line of the 30th Army, he ordered his soldiers to cut weeds and bushes to disguise themselves.

At first, when Su Datong and the Japanese army exchanged fire, Tang Cheng only planned to watch the excitement on the wall, but with the appearance of the Japanese machine gun, Su Datong's side seemed to be at a disadvantage, since they were all troops of the national army, Tang Cheng was not good to continue to watch, and the two grenadiers in his hand also needed grenade grenades and grenades from the Japanese army. There was no need for a platoon of soldiers to shoot, and the two grenadiers that occupied the terrain advantage only bombarded in two rounds, and the Japanese light machine guns were dumbfounded, and Su Datong was also considered to be angry, and took the opportunity to kill these Japanese soldiers who attacked them with only one charge.

Su Datong was surprised by Tang Cheng's age, but Tang Cheng was surprised by the simplicity of the weapons of the soldiers under Su Datong, and the 30th Army was facing off here with the 13th Division of the Japanese Army. Tang Cheng started fighting with the Japanese army in Shanghai, although he didn't have many opportunities to use rifles, but until now, the rifles he used were all Mauser rifles, and Tang Cheng really couldn't think of how to fight the Japanese army with Hanyang.

"Thank you Company Commander Tang for your help, otherwise we would be miserable." Su Datong is also a fair and upright person, since he has received Tang Cheng's help, he should thank him in person. Tang Cheng is not very old, not only wearing two shell guns, but also carrying a flower mechanism in his hand, such a weapon is also unique in the 30th Army, especially important is the sunspot behind Tang Cheng They are also each a short gun, and the Mauser rifle in his hand is not light, and Su Datong's saliva is about to flow out.

"Company Commander Su is polite." Seeing that Su Datong thanked him, Tang Cheng also returned the salute in a similar way, but he forgot that he was still carrying a flower mechanism in his hand, and in a hurry, he made Wang Xiaoer and the others behind Su Datong laugh. When Tang Cheng and Su Datong were greeting here, Heizi had already led his men to check the corpses of those Japanese soldiers, and when Su Datong turned around and glared angrily at Wang Xiaoer and the others, Heizi and the others had already returned with the grenades they had found from the corpses of the Japanese soldiers.

"Company Commander Su, the machine guns, rifles and bullets left by these Japanese soldiers are yours, we only need grenades, I have two Japanese-style 50mm grenadiers here, no ammunition is not good." Kuroko and they brought back almost 20 Japanese-style grenades, Tang Cheng looked at Wang Xiaoer, their eyes were a little strange, and they smiled and explained.

Tang Cheng actually didn't know that Wang Xiaoer of the Dao Dao and their doubts came from the Japanese command knife behind the four of them, and the four of them were born in a bandit den, and they liked to dance with guns and sticks more than use Mauser rifles. At the beginning of the successful defeat of the Mitsui squadron in Macheng Dry Grass Valley, the four of them fell in love with the command knife of the Japanese officer, this kind of command knife was only worn by officers in the Japanese army, and Tang Cheng often laughed at the sunspot that they carried a Japanese sword, showing off far more than practicality.

Wang Xiaoer's doubts really came from the Japanese swords that Kuroko was carrying, as the national army, if they wanted to get a Japanese sword, they could only capture it on the battlefield. But the Japanese knife is not something that can be obtained casually, Tang Cheng has more than 20 people in four people carrying Japanese swords, this combat power does not look empty, and explained to Su Datong the reason for collecting grenades, Tang Cheng plans to say goodbye and leave, Lao Northeast and Niu Lao Gui They are still on the side of the slope, Tang Cheng doesn't want them to wait too long.

"In the end, it's the descendants of the national army, you look at the weapons and equipment of others, and then look at what we use, no wonder people are talking bullish." Before they could go far from Tang Cheng, Wang Xiaoer had already started muttering about his Hanyang Zao. Not only Wang Xiaoer, but also some of the veterans under Su Datong were muttering about Tangcheng's weapons and equipment, if their Northwest Army also had this weapons and equipment, Guan Bao let the 13th Division of the Japanese Army confronting them have no return.

"What's the matter, you've got a crush on our weapons?" Liu Shishi, who was walking behind the most luan, was a broken mouth, and when he heard Wang Xiaoer's discussions and complaints, he turned around. "Then let your company commander Su take you to the hands of the little devils to rob it, our machine guns and small cannons were all snatched from the hands of the devil soldiers, don't look at the young age of our company commander, that is a veteran who has fought in Shanghai and Nanjing, and even the heavy machine guns of the devil soldiers, we have also robbed them."

"Stone, what are you doing, hurry up and keep up." Liu Shishi blew with this terrible blow, and the sunspot who had already walked out of the distance turned around and shouted, and Liu Shishi hurriedly chased after him with his gun. Tangcheng and they left, but the discussion of the group of soldiers under Su Datong was not over, and even the fact that the machine gun was captured from the Japanese could not attract their attention. Tangcheng's task was to search for and clear out the Japanese scouts scattered here, and after converging with Lao Dongbei and Niu Lao Gui, the second company turned directly east and went to Hexi Village, two mountains away.

Hexi Village does not belong to the boundaries of Macheng, but it is now in the area of confrontation between the national army and the Japanese army, and according to the order of the 30th Army, the second company must go to Xihe Village. After climbing over two mountains in succession, the second company stopped, and did not encounter Japanese troops along the way, which made Tang Cheng's heart hang. This is the battle zone where a major war is about to break out, and the 13th Division of the Japanese Army is a force with more than 10,000 troops, but there is not even a shadow of a Japanese soldier here, Tang Cheng is really worried.

"Kuroko, take your people down to feel the situation, don't make a noise when you see the Japanese army, and come back with a report after seeing it clearly." Tang Cheng, who was halfway up the mountain, took a closer look with a telescope, and he was a little uneasy, but he still ordered Kuroko to take people down to feel the situation, if there were Japanese troops here, it would be another fierce battle. As the name suggests, there is a small river outside the village, and the village is on the west side of the river.

Hexi Village does not belong to the boundaries of Macheng, and the people of the Huang family have never been to Hexi Village, but based on the size of the village seen in the telescope, Tang Cheng deduced that the scale of Hexi Village is probably more than 100 households. The four of them hid along the thatch by the river, and looked into the village from a distance, there were a few old people sitting under the big tree at the entrance of the village, just like the villages in the Macheng area, these old people should be sitting at the entrance of the village chatting, but the sunspot always felt that something was not quite right.
