Chapter 68 Agreed
"If you don't ask, I'll almost forget." Tang Cheng, who listened to it, asked about the batch of guns brought to Wuhan, Niu Laogui, who had been squatting, got up and stood up, and the two of them walked to the corner of the backyard in tacit understanding, and Liu Shishi, who received Tang Cheng's hint, looked left and right, in case the partition wall heard the content of Niu Laogui and Tang Cheng's conversation. "The things have already been sold, the money has been handed over to Mrs. Huang, I heard what the buyer meant and wanted a big guy like a light machine gun, I couldn't be the master, so I brought them too."
Tang Cheng didn't blame Niu Laogui for making his own decisions, he just lowered his head and smoked, thinking in his heart. The guns that Niu Laogui brought to Wuhan were not a few dozens, but a full 340 rifles, and the three carriages were fully loaded, and the buyers who could eat such a number of firearms were probably also people with some backgrounds. "Let's go, meet the people you brought." Tang Cheng threw the cigarette butt at his feet and stepped on it, whether it was a blessing or a curse, since he came, he couldn't avoid it, so what if he simply went to see it.
Niu Laogui himself is indeed a bit reckless to bring people to Macheng, the current Macheng is not the only one in Tangcheng, there is also a Sun Liansheng who is holding back bad water, if he is told by the Zhilu surnamed Sun, he can clean up Tang Cheng's head by casually deducting a crime. "The person was introduced by Huang San, and I sold the things the day after I arrived in Wuhan, and I saw that the other party paid very neatly, so I went to meet them, and I knew that they wanted big guys, so I brought them to Macheng."
Niu Laogui wanted to say that he was going to drive away the guys who wanted to buy machine guns, but seeing Tang Cheng's face, he didn't blame himself, so he swallowed back the words that had already reached his mouth. The Second Company has fought several battles in a row, and the casualties have exceeded half, and no more than 40 people can fight with guns, but the Second Company now has 6 light and heavy machine guns plus a piece. 40 people have 6 light and heavy machine guns, which is too eye-catching, and at least half of them must be shot so as not to attract Sun Liansheng's coveting.
Niu Laogui led Tang Cheng to the front yard, and whispered to Tang Cheng about the buyers, "That group said it was from Sichuan, and the leader was a man surnamed Yang, they said it was a land seller. When Tang Cheng was a child and followed Robert to preach in Sichuan, he often met a horse gang specializing in selling tobacco and soil, and those people were carrying guns.
"See you first, and if you really find something wrong, shoot." Tang Cheng's words made Liu Shishi, who was following them closer, wide-eyed, and he had already reached out to open the holster on his waist. The people brought back by Niu Laogui from Wuhan have been waiting in the front yard, and the two people under Heizi are talking with them, and when Tang Cheng appeared in the front yard with Niu Laogui and Liu Shishi, the two people under Heizi gave Niu Laogui a vague look, and only the three of them knew the meaning.
Heizi and the three people under him are from bandits, and most of the people who traffic tobacco and soil are also from bandits. Seeing Tang Cheng and the three of them appear in the front yard, several men who had been sitting in the pavilion in the front yard got up and stood up, they had always dealt with Niu Laogui, and they had already learned of Tang Cheng's existence from Niu Laogui's mouth. Seeing that Niu Laogui had been walking behind Tang Cheng, he understood that this young boy who looked like a big boy was the little company commander Niu Laogui said.
"Company Commander Tang is really a heroic boy, I have been listening to Deputy Niu Lian say how young a hero is Company Commander Tang, Yang thought it was Deputy Niu Lian who was joking, but when I saw it today, I knew that Yang was wrong, disrespectful and disrespectful." The humility of the man surnamed Yang in a long shirt made Tang Cheng mistakenly think that the person standing in front of him was not here to buy a gun, so that he looked like a shopkeeper who traveled from south to north. There were a total of 6 men who followed Niu Laogui from Wuhan to Macheng, Tang Cheng didn't speak, just looked around silently, giving people the feeling that Tang Cheng seemed to want to keep the appearance of these 6 people in mind.
After a few words of greeting, under Tang Cheng's signal, everyone sat down, but when the other six people sat down according to their words, Tang Cheng's eyes flashed with a trace of doubt. Just when the man surnamed Yang sat down just now, Tang Cheng suddenly found a feeling of déjà vu in him, but suddenly Tang Cheng couldn't remember where that feeling had appeared, and Tang Cheng, who couldn't find the answer, had to cover up his distraction by lighting a cigarette.
Tang Cheng is secretly observing these talented men, and the other party is actually secretly observing Tang Cheng, the 88th Division is the descendant of the national army, and Tang Cheng will not be more than 20 years old no matter how you look at it. The 88th Division will have a lieutenant company commander who is not yet 20 years old, and no one can figure it out, the 88th Division is not a place where he can become an official in the future, and in the battles of Shanghai and Nanjing, the casualties of the 88th Division were not small. Xu was aware of the doubt in the eyes of the man surnamed Yang, and Tang Cheng smiled, "Is Mr. Yang doubting my age?" ”
"Lao Yang, don't look at our company leader's young age, he has fought with little devils in Shanghai and Nanjing, and the little devils he killed can't even compare to veterans like me." Niu Lao Gui, who was boasting, took out the southern pistol that Tang Cheng had given him from his waist and slapped it on the stone table in the pavilion. "Our second company just repelled a group of little devils yesterday, the little devils and traitors plus a piece of 400 people, and less than 100 people escaped by our company commander and his people, and this thing is the captured trophies."
Niu Laogui's boasting made the man surnamed Yang have an inexplicable look in his eyes, took the southern pistol pushed by Niu Laogui and played with it a few times, and when he looked up at Tang Cheng, his eyes were full of heat. "No wonder Chief Tang became the company commander of the 88th Division at a young age, this ability to fight little devils is extremely powerful, amazing." The man surnamed Yang gave Tang Cheng a thumbs up, and the latter could only smile and shake his head. One deliberately touted, the other even called it lucky, the embarrassment when they met just now dissipated a lot, and the conversation between the two sides was smoother.
As Niu Laogui said, the man surnamed Yang came to Macheng for the machine gun, and in the words of the man surnamed Yang, it was to prepare for war with another gang that repeatedly robbed them. "Sir Tang, we don't talk darkly, we are here for the machine gun this time, if we have a machine gun in our hands, Xu Haozi's gang will come to rob us again, and we want them to come and go, as long as your machine gun is willing to shoot, the price will be negotiable." The man surnamed Yang has a sincere attitude, and Niu Laogui was obviously persuaded by him in this way.
It's a pity that Tang Cheng is not Niu Laogui, he mixed the streets in Beiping City when he was a child, and when he grew up a little, he followed Robert to Shanghai, and met people who were all three religions and nine streams, and he had seen a lot of people like lone thieves and bandits, but he was the first time he saw a tobacco dealer like a man surnamed Yang. The people who go to the rivers and lakes to mix rice all have a bad spirit, and the 5 Chinese characters brought by the man surnamed Yang have a murderous spirit, but they all lack a bad spirit, Tang Cheng feels that these people don't look like tobacco dealers, but like soldiers like themselves.
After a few pleasantries, Tang Cheng made an excuse and took Niu Laogui back to the backyard. "I see that you are blind this time, these people are definitely not selling tobacco, I think they look like people with guns and rice like us." Tang Cheng's words frightened Niu Laogui, although he knew that this little company commander was a seven-trick guy, but Tang Cheng said that he had lost his eyes, and Niu Laogui had to argue a few words. Tang Cheng stretched out his hand to stop Niu Laogui's argument and continued, "You didn't pay attention to their movements when they sat down just now? Their hands are properly placed on their knees, which is only the case for trained soldiers. ”
Tang Cheng's words were actually a bit far-fetched, but the actual reason was that he remembered where the feeling of déjà vu that made him feel familiar came from. When Tang Cheng snatched the truck from the Japanese army with nine catties that day, he inadvertently got a man and a woman from the hands of the Japanese army, and the man named Song Bo claimed to be a member of the Chinese Communist Party, and Tang Cheng also sold a batch of firearms to Song Bo. When he saw the man surnamed Yang just now, Tang Cheng felt that this person had a feeling of familiarity, and when he thought about it carefully, this feeling on the man surnamed Yang was the same as the feeling that Song Bo gave him.
Hearing Tang Cheng say that these people who came to buy guns were likely to be members of the CCP, Niu Laogui's face immediately turned white, and even his voice was deliberately much quieter. "What is this going to do? The CCP will be shot, and if it is known that the Tao is stabbed above or in the hands of the military commanders, none of us will survive. Niu Laogui's fear has a origin, the unit he used to mix in was purged by the military commander once, and the regiment commander, battalion commander, and company commander were all shot and thrown into the river, and the crime was passed.
Compared with Niu Laogui's anxiety, Tang Cheng was very bland, the things he sold to Song Bo last time were not small, it was not the same, there was nothing to fear, as long as he did it secretly, there was nothing to be afraid of. After returning to the front yard and sitting in the gazebo with the man surnamed Yang, Niu Laogui had already softened his feet, and the conversation with the man surnamed Yang was all Tang Cheng, who already knew that Tang Cheng, who was the other party's finest background, was not reserved, according to the price that Niu Laogui inquired about in Wuhan, they offered a price to the man surnamed Yang, and also asked the other party to pay with gold bars.
"Okay, that's it, 300 rifles, two Japanese-style 92-type heavy machine guns and two Japanese-style light machine guns, three days later, we will trade in Wulipo outside the city, and we will have money and goods in one hand." Tang Cheng, who was smiling, sent away 6 men surnamed Yang, and looked at Niu Laogui in the pavilion when he returned to the pavilion, a veteran who was not afraid of the Japanese army, but his back was wet with sweat.
