Chapter XVIII
As the convoy crossed the Wamachi River, the number of people and towns along the way began to increase, and they looked greedily at the farmers working hard in the fields by the roadside, the children playing carefree in the fields, and the buffalo and shepherd boys in the streams, like wild men who had just come out of the mountains. These originally the most ordinary scenes had already made Tang Cheng's eyes full of moisture, and the people who left home to fight finally returned, but they didn't know if their relatives at home were still alive.
Tang Cheng was already a loner for a long time, but he looked at the sight of what he could see on the road with greedy and envious eyes, and the soldiers who still had relatives at home before becoming soldiers were already crying in a low voice. The cries that were tried to be suppressed in the carriage were like a new type of infectious disease, which instantly silenced everyone in the task force, and even Mike and his American soldiers had tears in their eyes, all of them were raised by their mothers and fathers, and no one would miss their relatives.
"Robert, are you okay in heaven?" Tang Cheng, who was in the back seat of the jeep, whispered, reaching out and grabbing the silver cross that never left his neck, which Robert had left for Tang Cheng. A thick air of melancholy hung over the entire convoy, and no one spoke except for the roar of the vehicles, all eager to end the damn mission sooner.
The domestic expeditionary force has successfully defeated the Japanese army attacking Yunnan and successfully joined up with the Indian expeditionary force in Burma, but this does not mean that there are no Japanese troops in Yunnan. Most of the Japanese stragglers who were routed by the domestic expeditionary force fled into the mountains and forests because they were cornered, and it would take a lot of time and troops to completely destroy them.
Maybe God is helping Tangcheng them, the convoy crossed the Wan Town River until it was about to enter the Kunming territory, and they never encountered trouble, which also made the staff officers of the command headquarters who had been worried finally relieved. Because it was a unit escorting prisoners of war back to Kunming, several staff officers sent by the command unanimously agreed that the convoy needed a short period of rest before entering Kunming, and this rest period was only one day, which was the time for all the soldiers of the expeditionary force escorting the prisoners of war to tidy up their clothing.
In ancient China, when the victorious army returned to the country, there would be a prisoner sacrifice activity, although Tangcheng they could not represent more than 100,000 soldiers of the expeditionary force, but they escorted the first batch of Burmese Japanese prisoners of war who were sent back to Kunming for trial, and the connection between them was far beyond their imagination in Tangcheng. There was a hot bath, a clean change of uniform, a hot and delicious meal, and a comfortable and tidy clean bed to sleep in, and Tang Cheng certainly had no reason to oppose the decision of those staff officers.
After bathing, trimming, and haircuts, all the soldiers escorting the prisoners of war changed into clean new uniforms, and I don't know whether it was Tang Cheng's negligence or Mike's insistence, all the soldiers in the action team changed into American military uniforms, and even the ranks and armbands of military uniforms were all symbols of the American army. "Our action team is subordinate to the US military observation group, so naturally we have to change into the military uniform of the US military, which has already been reported to the headquarters when we were in Xinpingyang." Several staff officers who accompanied the team could not resist Mike, so they had to place the action team at the end of the prisoner of war convoy.
After a day's rest, the convoy set off again, whether it was the steel helmets on the soldiers' heads or the trucks under them, they were all wiped neatly, everyone held their heads high, and the murderous aura in their eyes was reflected by the cold light of the gun, which made people dare not look at them. was arranged at the end of the entire convoy, Tang Cheng had no complaints, he just wanted to take his brothers back to China alive, whether he was valued by the bigwigs in Kunming City, Tang Cheng didn't think about it at all.
Tang Cheng Tiema sat in the jeep, muttering some words that Liu Shi couldn't understand, and the convoy slowly entered the Kunming territory, and Tang Cheng finally couldn't stop crying like rain. He is now a dignified captain and officer, and more than 100 brothers under his command listen to his orders, and the truck behind him is still loaded with a lot of money, but who is it for? If Robert was still alive, he might have reprimanded himself for his actions, and if the bandit-like Liu Goat was still alive, he might have gone crazy with excitement. But now, these relatives who are extremely important to him are no longer there, and this qiē is like a mirror for him, and he is just walking in a night in brocade clothes.
Follow the order. Tang Cheng and they were ten minutes late, and the convoy was still moving, when a jeep came rapidly from the front, and on the car were the heralds sent by the staff officers of the headquarters of the front team. "Report to the chief, the front of the convoy is about to enter the city, and Staff Officer Cui ordered your troops to hurry back to the camp in the west of the city, and not to disobey the order." The voice of the herald interrupted Tang Cheng's thoughts, and he looked up at the sky that was already covered by dark clouds, Tang Cheng laughed secretly, Lao Tzu didn't want to follow you stupidly with a group of prisoners of war to do some tricks in the streets, and besides, it was about to rain.
"Stone, give the order to go down, don't worry about the formation, march quickly, and rush to the military camp in the west of the city." Tang Cheng whispered an order, and Liu Shishi, who was beside him, immediately jumped out of the jeep to convey the order. The power to go home is extremely strong, all the vehicles of the task force were driven by the driver as if they were about to fly, the wheels were spinning wildly on the ground, and Tang Cheng, who was separated from the front team, all arrived at the military camp west of the city after half an hour. "Yo, these old men are really trouble-free, isn't this the fucking containment station we built?" Tang Cheng, who jumped out of the jeep, was happy after looking at the terrain around the barracks, this was the first shelter they had built in Dabanqiao Town, but the current shelter was much larger than when they left.
The barracks were almost empty, except for a few idle people who stayed in the barracks, there were only less than 200 people in Tang Cheng in the huge barracks. "Assemble" Hou San began to assemble the soldiers of the action team who jumped out of the truck according to Tang Cheng's order, and more than 100 people began to line up in front of Hou San, these people were veterans who had experienced a hundred battles and followed Tang Cheng for the rest of their lives. Tang Cheng silently looked at the more than 100 veterans in front of him, some of them even had gray hair, but none of these guys shed tears at the moment, but they were full of murderous energy, and they had already trained a heartless hob body in the barracks, and they couldn't fool anymore, and if they flickered again, they might become bandits and bandits in the future.
Just now I said that we will go home, and these bastards screamed excitedly one by one, if we say that we will build a house for each of them, then we will not be excited about the convulsions? A large wooden box brought down from the truck was vigorously slammed in front of everyone, and the box was full of silver dollars and money, "Everyone will be given 10 silver dollars and 50 dollars first, I will give you three days of vacation to go out and fool around, and those who don't want to go out can stay in the barracks, and after three days, we will still assemble here." ”
The sky has darkened, but there are many people around the door of the Huang family in Kunming City, most of them are women and women, and Mrs. Huang is pulling Zhang Xiaobao to babble endlessly, making Xiaobao scratch his ears and cheeks uncomfortable. Huang Hanju's two children were riding around the necks of the family, and they were stretching out their little hands to build a pergola in front of their foreheads and look at the entrance of the alley. The roar of a jeep came from the entrance of the alley, and Zhang Xiaobao in the crowd immediately broke away from Mrs. Huang's hand and shouted loudly, "It's back, it's them back, I heard the movement of several jeeps coming." ”
The car roared, and four American-style jeeps sped over, and Tang Cheng, who was driving in the first car, saw the crowd in front of the Huang family, and immediately slowed down. The jeep slowly stopped, Tang Cheng turned over, jumped out of the jeep, took off his steel helmet, and walked quickly to Madam Huang and stood stupidly. Although there was no natural blood relationship, Tang Cheng had already regarded this woman as his own sister. Tang Cheng had imagined all kinds of meeting scenes on the way, sad, joyful, and excited, but he didn't expect that when he really saw Sister A, he would be like a fool who could only stand stupidly and not say a word.
There was no passion, no sadness, only a faint joy, and in a few seconds, Tang Cheng, who had come back to his senses, finally smiled and looked at the woman in front of him and bowed down, "Sister, I'm back." ”
Mrs. Huang, whose eyes were already full of moisture, stretched out her hand to pull Tang Cheng up, vigorously hugged Tang Cheng into her arms, and said with a whimper, "That's right, my brother is back." Embracing Madam Huang's warm body, Tang Cheng's heart had never been so calm. Huang Hanju and Hou San and others in the jeep also got out of the car, and the cries of children and the laughter of adults mingled outside the gate of Huang's house, mixed with a few words of Lenny's not very proficient Chinese.
"Go home and have dinner." Feeling Tang Cheng's strong and powerful arms, Mrs. Huang's infinite worries dissipated without a trace in an instant, and then she commanded the personal maid to inform the kitchen to prepare for the meal, in order to welcome Tang Cheng and them back home, the chefs of the Huang family began to prepare this banquet two days ago. Tang Cheng and Huang Han lifted the two of them, one by one lifted the two children and rode between their necks, Mrs. Huang nicknamed the two children to come down, but the two children had already played the game of riding horses and fighting, where would they care about their mother's nickname.
Tonight's Huang family is destined to be a happy world, Tang Cheng and their group of more than a dozen people plus the Huang family's four people, laughter and laughter continue to come out of the Huang family's restaurant. Knowing that Tangcheng is now acting under the banner of the real US military, the heroic Mrs. Huang even pulled Mike and Lenny to toast three times in a row, and if they can catch the line of the US army, the Huang family will no longer be troubled by people in the Kunming black market, and even the Huang family's restaurant now has a foundation.
