Chapter Seventy-Seven: Yan Hongjiao
When Lao Xie entered Nanshan Village, it was like water spilled into the sand, and there was no movement at all, Wang Qing was worried about Lao Xie, but he didn't dare to leave those students, so he had to stretch his neck and look at Nanshan Village. Tang Cheng and Lao Dongbei are not in a hurry at all, since those people in Nanshan Village let Lao Xie into the village, there is a chance that those people will be anti-Japanese armed forces such as guerrillas, and when Lao Xie meets them, he can be regarded as meeting his own family.
"I'm back, the one surnamed Xie is back, and I'm back with a team of people." More than half an hour later, Lao Xie, who had been missing since entering the village, finally appeared, and was slowly approaching Tangcheng with a team of people from Nanshan Village towards Tangcheng. As soon as there was movement at the entrance of Nanshan Village, they were discovered by Tan Fei and Liu Shishi, who were serving as guards, and as Lao Xie and the group of people behind him approached, the monk and the other two machine gunners also pointed the muzzles of light machine guns at those people.
Tang Cheng, who had a cigarette in his hand, did not get up, but squatted on the ground and carefully looked at these unrestrained guests with a telescope. To Tang Cheng's surprise, the leader of this group was actually a woman, this woman with a short gun at her waist had crisp short hair, and her demeanor was obviously military, but the red mole on her chin made Tang Cheng laugh secretly. "Stop, leave your weapons here, and I'll give them back to you when you get back." I don't know what Lao Dongbei told Liu Shishi, Lao Xie and the people in the village just came into contact with Liu Shishi, and they were pushed aside by Liu Shishi with a gun.
"Joke, this is Nanshan Village, when will it become your territory for giving orders? I think it's better for you to put the gun down, it's not good if the gun goes off and hurts someone. The corners of the woman's mouth rose slightly, as if she wanted to reason with Liu Shishi. Liu Shishi's move was just a temptation instructed by Lao Northeast, no matter how the other party reacted, Liu Shishi had a countermeasure here, but the other party came out with a woman to fight with him, Liu Shishi didn't know what to do now.
"Ahem, this kid still can't do it, he has too little experience." Glared at by Tang Cheng, Lao Dongbei pretended to be innocent and lowered his head to light a cigarette, and Liu Shishi, who was a few meters away, frequently looked back at Lao Dongbei, but the latter just lowered his head and smoked. Fortunately, Lao Xie played the round in time, otherwise Liu Shishi really didn't know what to do, the other party's people had already arrived in front of him, and Tang Cheng, as the commander, had to get up and stand up. Lao Dongbei, who got up with him, saw the appearance of the other party's woman clearly, and because of the red mole on the other party's chin, Lao Dongbei couldn't help but take a few more looks.
"What do you look at, you white bandits, and if you look at it again, you will pick out your eyeballs." The woman who was looked at by Lao Northeast a few more times opened her mouth and scolded Lao Northeast for being a white bandit army, and then habitually reached out to touch the short gun on her waist. After getting up, Tang Cheng did not speak, but carefully observed the group of people who followed Lao Xie, and saw that the woman stretched out her hand to her waist, Tang Cheng immediately took a step forward and blocked Lao Dongbei behind him. Lao Dongbei, who had already reflected it, couldn't help but be furious, but he just raised his right hand into a fist, and the monk's light machine gun was aimed at this woman.
"You're a fucking mad dog, what's wrong? Isn't your fucking face just for people to see, why did Lao Tzu look at you? Lao Tzu sees you touch the gun and try it, if you dare to take out the gun, Lao Tzu will kill all of you here, if you don't believe it, try it. In a fit of rage, Lao Dongbei pulled Tang Cheng backwards, and Hou San had already taken their place, pointing the rifle in his hand at the woman's head, and he had the intention of pulling the trigger if he didn't agree.
Pointed at by three light machine guns and more than a dozen rifles, the group of people who followed Lao Xie did not dare to move, and they all set their eyes on the woman. "Company Commander Tang, can you let them put down their guns first, this is Captain Yan Hongjiao Yan of the Liangzihu guerrillas, Nanshan Village is now the station of the Liangzihu guerrillas." Lao Xie's round did not make the monks put down their guns, and if it wasn't for Tang Cheng or Lao Dongdong's orders, the monks would definitely not put down their guns.
Tang Cheng was observing the Liangzihu guerrillas, Yan Hongjiao, who was pointed at a gun by Hou San and others, was also secretly observing Tang Cheng, and when Lao Xie appeared at the entrance of the village, Yan Hongjiao felt very surprised. The deputy captain of a Hefei guerrilla team suddenly appeared in Nanshan Village, which had to make Yan Hongjiao make a simple distinction between Lao Xie and the students he escorted, and learned that Lao Xie and the students he escorted were rescued by a group of national soldiers who could speak Japanese, Yan Hongjiao couldn't help but be very interested in this national army, she just didn't expect that what Lao Xie said was actually true, and the person who commanded this group of national troops was actually a guy much younger than herself.
"Captain Tang, hello, I'm Yan Hongjiao, welcome to Nanshan Village." Waiting for the surrounding national troops with guns to disperse, Yan Hongjiao smiled and stretched out her right hand to Tang Cheng. Tang Cheng stretched out his hand and shook Yan Hongjiao, and then secretly laughed in the strange eyes of Lao Dongbei and Hou San, where would these old hats know the handshake ceremony. Seeing that the previous tension between the two sides had died down, Lao Xie secretly breathed a sigh of relief, if there was a firefight, no matter who won or lost, it would be a result that Lao Xie did not want to see.
"Captain Yan, I don't care what party you belong to, and no matter what unit you are in, I have no ill will towards you." Letting go of Yan Hongjiao's hand, Tang Cheng began to correct the language problem in her words just now, "We are just passing by Nanshan Village, not wanting to enter the village to rest, I just want to tell you that both the guerrillas and the national army are fighting little devils." In the future, when you encounter the troops of the national army, I hope you can respect those brothers of the national army who fought bloodily against the Japanese army, and don't shout about the white bandit army, that is not good. ”
Tang Cheng's words made Lao Xie secretly complain, the gun just now had just passed, Tang Cheng was not looking for fire when he said this. Sure enough, after listening to Tang Cheng's words, Yan Hongjiao, who was running to endure her temperament, immediately changed her face, Yan Hongjiao didn't speak, but a short-shirted man standing next to him pointed at Tang Cheng and shouted, "Fight devils? It's up to you? If it weren't for you, the white bandits, who would only be deserters, how could they have been occupied by little Japan for half of China? Do you still have the face to teach us, have you ever killed little Japan? We have killed dozens of little Japan in Liangzihu. ”
The words of the man in the short shirt made Lao Dongbei and the others couldn't help laughing, and Lao Xie lowered his head and couldn't bear to look up, compared to killing devils, even if two Liangzihu guerrillas tied together, they couldn't compare to these people under Tang Cheng. "What's the matter? Look down on people, compare with us to kill little devils, you can say it, when Lao Tzu killed little devils in Huandiqiao Town, I guess you are still fishing and playing in that Liangzi Lake. Lao Northeast's words made Liu Shishi and them laugh, and the Japanese-style weapons in their hands were not the best proof.
Tang Cheng and Yan Hongjiao's eyes met in the air, and neither of them spoke, but the look of inquiry in Yan Hongjiao's eyes became more and more intense. "Since they are all devils, they should be like-minded people, since they are like-minded people, why do you have to make trouble to the point of meeting each other, why don't we sit down and talk." Lao Xie is now playing a good role as a bridge of communication, and when Lao Northeast and Yan Hongjiao's subordinates were tense, Lao Xie's timely and muddy reconciliation eased the tension between the two sides a little.
Tang Cheng was not interested in arguing with a woman, so he turned around and walked a few steps to sit on the stone that Liu Shi had moved, Tang Cheng stretched out his hand to the other stone and motioned to Yan Hongjiao. After Yan Hongjiao sat down, Tang Cheng said with a smile, "I have made it very clear just now, we are just passing through Nanshan Village, Lao Xie They are just us who met in the middle of the road, since he is with you, then he and his people will be handed over to you, but I have something I want to trouble Captain Yan to help." ”
"I have a lot of wounded under my men, and it may be difficult to march on foot, I want to pay for some mules and horses in Nanshan Village to walk, and I want to trouble Captain Yan for your help." Yan Hongjiao had long known from Lao Xie's mouth that these national troops were going south, if it weren't for knowing that Tang Cheng was a person who could speak and write Japanese, Yan Hongjiao would not have come to see Tang Cheng in person at all, and after hearing Tang Cheng's request, Yan Hongjiao immediately nodded and agreed.
"I'm afraid that the mules and horses in Nanshan Village are not enough for you, but I know that there is a place where there are many mules and horses, if Company Commander Tang can take your people to stay in Nanshan Village for two days, you can get enough mules and horses for your use." Yan Hongjiao's words carried obvious hints, and Lao Dongbei heard it clearly, so he secretly reached out to pull Tang Cheng's military uniform. Turning his head and winking at Lao Dongbei, Tang Cheng signaled that he also heard the meaning of those words, Yan Hongjiao would say this, it was nothing more than to use Tang Cheng to achieve their goals.
"Captain Yan, we are all considered military people, if you have something to say, you can say it directly, as the old saying goes, business is not benevolent. You tell us your purpose first, and if you can, let's talk about it separately. Tang Cheng didn't have the heart to guess with Yan Hongjiao in this cloud and mountain fog cover, if the reason given by the other party couldn't convince him, Tang Cheng didn't mind leaving now. I have money here, as long as I don't have Lao Xie and them who are dragging their feet, I'm afraid that I won't be able to find mules and horses.
"Company Commander Tang is really refreshing" Yan Hongjiao smiled very boldly like a man, and then took out a map that was already extremely simple in Tang Cheng's eyes and opened it. "Less than 10 miles west of Nanshan Village over Wanjia Mountain and then to the west, there is a place called Shangyang, where the little devil built a turret and a military station. I've heard that you speak Japanese, and that your weapons are much better than ours, and if you can help us get rid of the rising devil turrets and military stations, we will provide you with all the mules and horses you need, and we will also provide you with guides to the south and information along the way. ”
