There are several fragrant big bowls on the stone table in the courtyard, stewed chicken with dried vegetables is the main dish today, the dried vegetables are dried by the Han family in summer, and the chickens are hunted from the mountains by the old northeast. "It's just some food in the mountains and fields, Company Commander Tang is not polite, eat more." Seeing his daughter-in-law bring the bowl of chicken back to the table, Uncle Han beckoned Tang Cheng and the three of them to sit down with a twinkle in his eyes, but he was much more enthusiastic about Tang Cheng between his words.

There were guests at home, and women were not allowed to serve the table, so Xiaolian could only follow her mother to the stove with her own small wooden bowl. Seeing Xiaolian's disappointment, Tang Cheng smiled and pushed the bowl of chicken in front of him to Liu Shishi, who was bowing his head and munching, who put down the chicken leg in his hand and took the bowl of chicken picked out by Tang Cheng and sent it to the stove. "Brother Han, we have always eaten like this in the second company, we will never eat meat and soldiers drink soup, these meals on the table are enough for us to eat." Seeing Xiaolian's father, who didn't like to talk, stretched out his hand to stop Liu Shishi, Tang Cheng explained with a smile.

The chicken was sent into the stove, and the men in the courtyard heard Xiaolian's delicate cry, Tang Cheng smiled and took a sip of the chicken soup in front of him, Xiaolian's cry was far more tempting to Tang Cheng than the chicken in the bowl. From the moment Robert lost his breath, Tang Cheng thought that his world was only black and white from now on, and he only had one thought left, that is, to kill the Japanese to avenge Robert. Tang Cheng did not add restrictions to this idea, maybe he would kill the Japanese until he could no longer kill them.

It is Tang Cheng's luck to meet Xie Bo in this life, and joining the second company is the most correct choice Tang Cheng has made in this life, in the second company, Tang Cheng has learned a lot of things that have benefited him a lot, if it were not for Xie Bo's professor and that war notebook, maybe Tang Cheng would have died countless times under the guns of the Japanese army. If Xie Bo is Tang's enlightenment teacher, then Liu Goat is another person who has a heavy influence on Tang Cheng, Tang Cheng learned how to be a good soldier from Liu Goat, although Liu Goat has been a rout, although Liu Goat is full of dirty words, although Liu Goat is not heavy on military appearance, but he is indeed a good soldier.

Xie Bo and Liu Goat are just people who teach Tang Cheng to fight, but the communication between men is less warm, strictly speaking, Tang Cheng is just a big child who has just come of age, and he has always hidden a desire in his heart, a desire for family affection. Xiaolian's coquettishness to her family, cheering for the chicken, and being coquettish when she speaks, these are good medicines for Tang Cheng. This medicine is enough to soothe the depression that Tang Cheng has been suppressing in his heart, so Tang Cheng is smiling very happily at this time, and the warmth that the Han family inadvertently reveals makes Tang Cheng very comfortable.

The three Tang Cheng people who were eaten by Uncle Han's self-proclaimed mountain and wild meal were very happy, Tang Cheng was injured and couldn't drink, but Lao Dongbei and Uncle Han drank a bowl of me, and Xiaolian's father didn't stop him, and he guarded the wine jar and only helped pour the wine. The stone table has been cleaned up, the drunk person has been helped back to the house, Xiaolian was taken out by her mother to play with her friends, while the sky was still bright, Tang Cheng asked Liu Shi to take his leather satchel to the yard.

There were Tang Cheng's cigarettes and matches in the leather satchel, as well as those Japanese military documents and papers stuffed into the old northeast, and Tang Cheng, who had time to do so, planned to look through some of those things, and maybe find useful information from them. Smoking half of the cigarette he lit, Tang Cheng, who was sitting at the stone table, began to look through those things this time, Lao Dongbei said well, most of these things were some telegrams sent and received by the Japanese army, and Tang Cheng also found a military map of the Japanese army in it.

Whether it's the text jiàn, the electric order, or the map, it's all incomprehensible Japanese, but it's nothing to Tang Cheng, who is proficient in Japanese. First sorted out the papers on the stone table, and then Tang Cheng spread out the map, looking for the matching electric order and text according to the standards on the map. Xiaolian's father took out an axe and chisels to repair the stools at home, and Liu Shishi guarded Tang Cheng to wipe his guns when he had nothing to do, and only the sound of Tang Cheng turning the papers was left in the courtyard.

"Stone, go and tell the old northeast to get up, I have something important." Tang Cheng, who had been silent, suddenly shouted, not only Liu Shishi, who lowered his head to wipe his gun, was startled, but even Han Shanhu, who was swinging an axe to chop wood, almost smashed the axe on his feet. Seeing that Han Shanhu was turning his head to look at him, Tang Cheng opened his mouth and said, "Brother Han, please go and ask Uncle Han to come out, I have something to discuss with him, it is a very important matter." ”

Lao Dongbei and Uncle Han, who had not yet dissipated the wine, were put out by Liu Shi and Han Shanhu, and a few bowls of herbal tea were put down, and the eyes of the two began to focus. Seeing Lao Dongbei glaring at him dissatisfied, Uncle Han was also dissatisfied in his eyes, and Tang Cheng didn't care about explaining, just slapped the Japanese army's telegram in his hand on the stone table, "This is the Japanese army's telegram captured by our night raid on the Japanese camp that night, which mentions Guangji and Wuxue, I think Uncle Han, you must be familiar with these two places, because they are not far from Xishui." ”

The Japanese telegram found by Tang Cheng did mention Guangji and Wuxue, the main force of the Japanese 11th Army attacked along the south bank of the Yangtze River, and the Potian detachment landed northeast of Ruichang and was blocked by the defending 3rd Army. On the 20th, the 9th Division of the Japanese Army entered the battle, and cooperated with the Botian detachment to attack Ruichang, but the defenders were unable to fight, and Ruichang was lost on the 24th. The Japanese army occupied the wharf and Fuchikou successively. As the defenders deployed four additional armies to strengthen the defense, the two sides formed a confrontation in the Daye and Yangxin areas. The Japanese 27th Division attacked after more than a month, occupied Qixi and attacked Xianning.

The Japanese 101st Division crossed Poyang Lake and attacked the 1st Corps in the De'an area, and the two sides were in a stalemate. The 6th Division of the Japanese 11th Army attacked along the north bank of the Yangtze River, captured Huangmei and continued to advance westward. The Japanese telegram in Tang Cheng's hand was not a real telegram, it was just a military order to mobilize medical soldiers and medicines, but Tang Cheng found clues from it.

Uncle Han couldn't help but change his face when he heard Tang Cheng's words, Xishui County is only more than 100 kilometers away from Wuxue, if Guangji and Wuxue are really occupied by the Japanese army, then Xishui County is likely to be the next target of the Japanese army. "Earlier, I heard Uncle Han say that there were a lot of defeated soldiers of the national army in Xishui County, and I was thinking about where those defeated soldiers came from Xishui, and this telegram from the Japanese army just happened to confirm my guess, Guangji or Wuxue must have been lost, otherwise the way of those routs would not be explained." Tang Cheng found out the location of Wuxue and Guangji for the old northeast on the military map of the Japanese army, and only looked at the distance between Xishui County and these two places, which was indeed anxious.

"Uncle Han, now is not the time to sigh for a long time, it has been a few days since the rout in the county appeared, which means that there is not much time left for us, we have to cross the river immediately, it is no longer safe to the north of the Yangtze River, and now there is only one way to cross the south of the Yangtze River." Tang Cheng's assertion completely made Uncle Han dumbfounded, Yongxing Village is the place where the Han family lived in the era, and the ancestral tombs of the Han family are also in this mountain, but if you don't leave, what will your sons, daughters-in-law and grandchildren do?

Seeing that Uncle Han had taken this silently, Han Shanhu was also indifferent, Tang Cheng had no choice but to instruct Lao Dongbei and Liu Shishi first, "It seems that our plan is going to be advanced, you should go to the county seat immediately, and you will rush to the county seat to discredit." Carriages, ammunition and dry food on the road have to be bought, find a few defeated soldiers to inquire about the affairs of Wuxue and Guangji, and come back as soon as the matter is done, time waits for no one, only the three of us have no way to confront the Japanese army. ”

"Company Commander Tang, I know that you are fighting little devils, can you not leave, we have lived in this Yongxing Village for generations, and the ancestral graves of our families are also in this mountain, so we just left, which is very disrespectful to our ancestors." Han Laobo pulled Han Shanhu, who was a little wooden, and forced Han Shanhu to kneel down for Tang Cheng, "Company Commander Tang, I know that you have great skills, there are more than a dozen strong men in our Yongxing Village, if you take them to fight devils, they are all dead, and my old man doesn't complain about you, but this village can't be lost, the ancestors are here." Uncle Han was already in tears at this time, which made Tang Cheng secretly sad.

"Brother Han, you get up first, let's sit down and talk." Tang Cheng motioned to Lao Dongbei to help Han Shanhu up from the ground first, and then comforted Uncle Han, "As the old saying goes, trees move the dead and people live, if the Japanese army attacks Xishui County, it will never be as simple as one or two hundred people." Not to mention the Japanese planes, even the large-caliber artillery, just one shell can destroy half of Yongxing Village, the villagers you said are not trained and do not have enough weapons, and they are taking them to block the Japanese army, but they are just rushing to die. ”

Han Shanhu, who had not spoken, finally shed tears, Tang Cheng was right, a group of unarmed and untrained mountain people fought against the Japanese army, and the end was only a one-sided massacre, "Uncle Han, I think you should go and inform the villagers to hurry up and cross the river to the south, my people will go to the county seat now to buy carriages and ammunition, let's leave Yongxing Village early tomorrow morning and cross the river to the south, as long as people live, there will always be a day when they come back." ”

Tang Cheng's words reminded Uncle Han, and the old man who came back to his senses told Han Shanhu to follow him to the county seat and bring back his grandson who was studying in the county seat, and went out to the village chief's house to discuss countermeasures. There were only two gold bars, and Tang Cheng didn't know if they could bring back what they needed when they rushed to the old northeast of the county seat at night, but looking at the Han family who were busy making dry food in the stove, Tang Cheng, who was leaning on the stone table, secretly decided that he must escort the family across the river and send them to a safe place.
