"Grandma, this big city is good, and it's fast enough to transfer supplies." On the afternoon of Dai Li's visit to the Second Company, four trucks dragging black smoke drove into Sanli Town, and Niu Laogui and others were dazzled by the weapons, ammunition, and supplies on the trucks. "Unload the car, and those who can still move will come over to help unload the car." Niu Laogui took a cigarette and let the driver and soldier escorted him to drink tea and chat, while Lao Dongbei took the people of the second company to rush up and start unloading the car.

The vacant warehouse finally came in handy, the boxes that had been removed from the truck were placed on the ground, and Colonel Yu, who had already been here once, pried open one of the wooden boxes and took out a machine gun that Niu Laogui had never seen before. "This is the MG42 7.92 mm general-purpose machine gun equipped by the German army, and the Mauser rifle bullet we are issued is of the same caliber, this gun was brought from Germany by the German training regiment the year before last, there are 12 in total, and 10 were taken away by the national government, and these two are specially approved by the chairman of the committee for your second company."

In front of Niu Laogui and them, Colonel Yu reached out and opened the clamp and cover ring on the back of the barrel sleeve, and easily removed the barrel. "That's how the barrel was replaced, I brought you a few spare barrels, when firing with this gun, remember not to fire for a long time, remember to replace the barrel, otherwise the bullet will be blind." For the old northeast, they showed the method of changing the barrel again, and the colonel surnamed Yu held a cigarette in his mouth and motioned Tang Cheng to follow him out.

"This is just a supplement to your second company, Director Dai will be there soon, it's best to let your people stay in this warehouse, Director Dai doesn't want to mobilize the people." muttered a few words to Tang Cheng in a whisper, and Colonel Yu went to the gate with a cigarette in his mouth. I don't know what Dai Li is doing again, but since they have already greeted him in advance, Tang Cheng has to do what Colonel Yu said. whispered a few words to Niu Laogui, and Tang Cheng, who had changed into a new military uniform, also waited at the gate.

I saw the cars coming from a distance, Tang Cheng and Colonel Na Yu stood straight outside the gate, and what caught my eye was the three black Buick sedans that had come in the morning. When the convoy stopped outside the gate, a few men in blue tunics got down from the cars in front and behind, and after the men in blue dispersed, Dai Li, who had a relationship with Tang Cheng, came out of the car in the middle. Just nodded with the colonel surnamed Yu and Tang Cheng, and the expressionless Dai Li raised his feet and entered the courtyard, Tang Cheng turned around and wanted to follow, but was stopped by a man in blue who stretched out his hand.

Tang Cheng hesitated, the man in blue stretched out his hand in front of Tang Cheng with a cold face and snorted, Tang Cheng suddenly understood when he saw this, and hurriedly took out the only few pieces of ocean from his pocket and put them on the man's hand. The man in blue was immediately angry and said, "Bastard! Do you understand the rules? Your guns! You have to disarm when you see Boss Dai, understand? Tang Cheng realized that he would be wrong, and while feeling sorry for the ocean that had been thrown to the ground by the man in blue, he untied the two shell guns that he was carrying cross-body.

Tang Cheng handed over the matching gun and was finally able to follow him into the courtyard, and the man in blue immediately changed his face, just like the old and decrepit prostitutes in the brothel who were desperately soliciting customers. The degree of his enthusiasm is simply outrageous, but this excessive enthusiasm makes Tang Cheng very unaccustomed to it, but this guy who received his own gun also made Tang Cheng really see the allusion that people are people in front of people and ghosts behind them.

In the humble command post in Tang Cheng, Dai Li, who was full of spring breeze, kindly held Tang Cheng's hand and asked carefully: "Are you still used to eating in Wuhan recently?" How was the stay? What is lacking has to be raised directly, you are combat heroes, and the government will satisfy you even if it is in difficulty. Dai Li's not a word is a cliché of officialdom, and every sentence seems very kind and considerate, but Tang Cheng has goosebumps, and Dai Li in front of him is really very strange.

Tang Cheng was a little stunned unconsciously, and the colonel surnamed Yu, who was standing on the side, had to cough dryly twice, which made Tang Cheng, who was in a trance, return to normal. Following the hint of the colonel surnamed Yu, Tang Cheng found that one of the few people who followed up was actually holding a camera, and Tang Cheng, who was still confused, suddenly understood that Dai Li's face full of spring breeze and enthusiasm for himself were completely because of this person with a camera.

"This time it was the intention of the chairman of the committee, and Company Commander Tang inflicted heavy losses on the Mitsui squadron of the Japanese army in Macheng with the strength of a company, killing 172 Japanese criminals under the enemy leader Mitsui Yuo, killing 120 traitors, capturing 71 traitors, and defeating and killing 600 bandits and horse thieves who came to attack Macheng. The chairman of the committee decided to promote Company Commander Tang to the rank of captain at the same time, and at the same time prepare to award you a Baoding medal. Dai Li's last sentence made Tang Cheng's head buzz for a moment, Dai Li actually came to award himself a medal.

Tang Cheng is now in addition to grateful, there is nothing else to say, Dai Li is also embarrassed and sighed, the military commander's people have gone to Macheng to interrogate those traitors who were captured alive by Tang Cheng, and the battle report only said that the second company defeated a Japanese squadron in Macheng, but Dai Li knew the hardships and tragedy. Zhong Bin wanted to promote Tang Cheng to major in an exceptional way, but was rejected by the Ministry of Military Affairs, Tang Cheng only turned 20 years old this year, and his age is indeed a problem.

If Tang Cheng, who had just turned 20 this year, was unusually promoted to major, the Ministry of Military Affairs was afraid that the junior officers in the army would be unwilling. You must know that Tang Cheng was still an ignorant teenager at this time last year, but now he has become a company commander of the 88th Division, and Tang Cheng's promotion speed has actually broken the precedent of the National Revolutionary Army, and it would be a bit too appalling to be promoted to a major again.

The promotion system of the national army has quite perfect regulations, and there are upper limits on the criteria for promotion and the number of years of military exploits, which is to prevent the emergence of the so-called special case of lucky promotion. The ranks of the National Revolutionary Army are from the rank of private, private, private, private, sergeant, sergeant, warrant officer, second lieutenant, lieutenant, captain, major, lieutenant colonel, colonel, major general, lieutenant general, second class general, first class general, special general, sixth class and eighteen ranks.

No matter how much credit you have made, if you want to go directly from a soldier to an officer, it is simply impossible here in the Ministry of Military Affairs, and you can only make up for a black officer in the troops below, and wait for two years to report to you, this is the only way. Chiang Kai-shek can only use his military exploits to promote Tang Cheng to captain, since the military rank cannot be promoted, then it is good to give Tang Cheng honor, so there is a matter of Dai Li's awarding of medals to Tang Cheng.

Everything was ready, Dai Li, with a smile on his face, hung the third-class ribbon of the Yunlu Medal on Tang Cheng's chest, and the latter's snapping made the smile on Dai Li's face even bigger. "This third-class treasure tripod is to fund your efforts to defend the country, and reward you for your wounded in battle, and your ambition has always been the same, and I hope that you will be brave and loyal to the country in the future, and make persistent efforts to make new contributions to the party and the country." Dai Li's words were obviously clichés, but Tang Cheng stood straight, and there was a little moisture in his eyes, and this medal was the best proof of acknowledging him and Erlian.

After the award ceremony, Dai Li and the others left directly, but the colonel surnamed Yu came over and patted Tang Cheng's shoulder vigorously, and said with a smile, "You kid can, a small acting company commander has won such an honor, and now I can envy those second ancestors who can only mess around." "In the combat army, many people who have had friends of life and death have a look in their eyes, in a word, they don't care if the sky falls, this is the friendship between life and death between soldiers.

Knowing that this colonel surnamed Yu was intentionally befriending himself, Tang Cheng was not stingy, and gave the officer surnamed Yu to his command post, handing cigarettes and pouring tea. "Okay, don't be busy, you're too hard to find here, if it weren't for Hanju's please, I wouldn't have come to your ghost place several times in a row." There were only two people left in the command post, Colonel Na Yu and Tang Cheng, and after a few words of greeting, Colonel Na Yu simply clarified his identity, it turned out that this person and Huang Hanju were familiar friends.

"Thank you so much Brother Yu for your help, otherwise when Sun Liansheng came to the door that day to make trouble, I really wouldn't have been able to deal with it." Knowing that the other party was Huang Hanju's friend, the estrangement in Tang Cheng's eyes disappeared and was replaced by sincere enthusiasm and gratitude. Huang Hanju's character did not say that the one who could be commensurate with his brother would never be a treacherous person, and besides, Tang Cheng still had an olive branch from Dai Li, but he was not afraid of the gendarmes coming to find trouble for him.

"The people of the Sun family are just some mud that can't stick to the wall, and they don't have other skills, but this pestering kung fu is excellent, if it weren't for the fact that there are a few old people in his family who have been with the president, the chairman of the committee would have uprooted his Sun family a long time ago, but it's ridiculous that Sun Shoucheng still thinks that their Sun family is the Republic of China." Hearing Tang Cheng mention Sun Liansheng, Yu Baishui spat on the ground with disdain on his face, "If you meet Sun Liansheng's second ancestor in the future, avoid him when you don't want to deal with him, although the Sun family does not have the power of the Republic of China, but the dead camel is bigger than the horse, and you, the captain, are not the opponent of the Sun family." ”

If it weren't for Dai Li's full support and the supply of a large amount of weapons and ammunition to the second company, Tang Cheng would not have had such confidence. But Yu Baishui's words were not unreasonable, and after sending Yu Baishui away, Tang Cheng sat alone in the command post and thought about it. If it was like Yu Baishui said, this Sun Liansheng was a dog skin plaster, then he might come to the door to toss, Tang Cheng, who had a sad face, looked down and saw his Baoding Medal, and couldn't help laughing.

Rubbing this Baoding medal, Tang Cheng's eyes were full of joy, Liu Goat has been a soldier for many years, and he has always wanted such a medal, Xie Bo is still from Huangpu, and he didn't get the medal, and he can be regarded as fulfilling a wish of Xie Bo and Liu Goat.
