Chapter 2 Return to the Second Company
Erlian's current situation doesn't seem to be good, and in Tang Cheng's opinion, it doesn't seem to be as good as when Erlian was in Qiandeng Town. "You have also seen the current situation of the second company, this is because our second company fought well in Shanghai to stay in the city temporarily, if it weren't for the casualties of our second company, only these few people would be left, I'm afraid Lao Tzu would have been dragged to Yuhuatai to repair the fortifications from above." Liu Goat still looked so casual, and he was not embarrassed at all by the shabby military uniforms and simple barracks on everyone's bodies.
"Uncle Liu, where is Company Commander Xie?" There were only a dozen people in the barracks used as private houses, and after greeting the familiar Niu Wazi, Tang Cheng never saw Xie Bo's figure. Liu Goat, who was asked by Tang Cheng, was a little speechless, just now he lured Tang Cheng here in the name of Xie Bo along the way, Tang Cheng would naturally ask if he couldn't see anyone, Liu Goat didn't know how to answer Tang Cheng's question for a while.
"Lian Commander Xie has been sent across the river, and it is estimated that he will soon arrive in Chongqing." Liu Goat just smoked, or Niu Wazi revealed the mystery. "That day, we found a doctor in Suzhou to treat the company commander's injuries, and the company commander's life was saved, but the doctor said that the company commander should not be too tired in the future, so after we arrived in Nanjing, Uncle Liu asked someone to send the company commander across the river to Chongqing.
"Company Commander Xie has been sent to Chongqing?" Tang Cheng turned his head to look at Liu Goat, and with an embarrassed expression, the latter gave Niu Wazi a roll of his eyes, and then nodded helplessly. Tang Cheng didn't complain that Liu Goat had deceived himself with Xie Bo's name just now, he just regretted that he had left the Second Company that day, if he hadn't insisted on leaving, maybe he would have gone to Chongqing with Xie Bo.
"Boy, don't you want to stay in Erlian so much?" Tang Cheng can't hide things, as long as he has something in his heart, he can see from his face that Liu Goat is a cunning veteran ruffian like a fox, and he can't see what Tang Cheng is thinking. Seeing Tang Cheng again in Chunhua Town was also very unexpected by Liu Goat, especially after listening to the old man of the Wu family counting the things Tang Cheng had experienced along the way, Liu Goat wanted to leave Tang Cheng in the Second Company, such a person was born to carry a gun to fight.
"The disabled brothers of our second company were all taken to Chongqing by Company Commander Xie, and now these are all the people in our second company, Lao Tzu, the company commander, is not as good as a platoon commander who teaches the corps." Liu Goat pointed to the dozen or so people sitting in the courtyard with a bracelet holding a cigarette, and the unwillingness and loneliness in his words were obvious. "The Second Company has now been completely disabled, and the people in the regiment look down on the Second Company, but as long as Lao Tzu is in one day, these brothers can't be left alone."
Tang Cheng only knew about the troop establishment of the 88th Division from Xie Bo, but he was not a serious soldier of 800 after all, so Tang Cheng only understood what Liu Goat said. "Our first battalion is gone, and when we retreated, the deputy regiment took the first battalion as the rear guard and did not withdraw from Shanghai, and the dozen of our second company are the most rearly people in the first battalion." Liu Shanyang's words made Tang Cheng understand why the troops of the 88th Division were building fortifications in Yuhuatai, but the second company was able to stay in the city.
"Little brother, what do you think I look like in this dress? They all said that this uniform was the best fit for me. "After being crushed, a few of them were tricked into putting on a national army uniform, and Jiujin with a German-style steel helmet came over, and the light machine gun that was carried by Niu Wazi was carried by Niu Wazi like a firewood stick." They said that this thing is better than a box gun, and that it can kill more than a dozen Japanese soldiers at once, and that the bullets of this thing are much larger than those of the box gun, so I will call this thing in the future. ”
Tang Cheng couldn't help but laugh and took the two shell guns handed over by Jiujin, this foodie didn't know that when the war started, the machine gunner was the fastest soldier to die, and he was coaxed by Niu Wazi and a few of them, so he didn't know how many catties and taels he wanted to be a machine gunner. "Nine catties is good, looking at the strong body, okay, Lao Tzu agreed, in the future, this Czech style will be handed over to you to call, grinder, teach this kid how to fiddle with the machine gun, don't fucking give Lao Tzu a bad thing when the time comes." Liu Goat smiled and patted his nine-pound thick shoulder, and his eyes were full of color when he looked at Tang Cheng.
From Jiujin's mouth, Liu Goat had long known that Tang Cheng was planning to go to Sichuan with Jiujin, which meant that Tang Cheng had at least regarded Jiujin as a friend. Xie Bo has analyzed Tang Cheng's temperament, if Tang Cheng really regards a person as a friend, he will never easily leave it alone, it is not difficult to see from the matter of the old man surnamed Wu's family of three that Tang Cheng is not a bad person. That's why Liu Goat privately ordered Nian Zi and Niu Wazi that they must think of ways to persuade Jiujin to stay in the Second Company, as long as Jiujin stays in the Second Company, Tang Cheng will definitely not leave easily.
"Do you know it's a light machine gun? Will you make? Do you know that the first person to die in a battle is the machine gunner? Do you know how many machine gunners will die in a battle? Tang Cheng replied to Liu Goat's roll of the eyes, snatched the half-old Czech light machine gun from Jiujin's arms and threw it to the miller, Tang Cheng's loud voice and a series of questions made Jiujin, who was still elated, instantly hang his head. Tang Cheng's sudden outburst made them stunned, and even Liu Goat was taken aback, they didn't expect Tang Cheng to be so angry for this nine catties.
Liu goat, they didn't know that Tang Cheng had already regarded the honest and honest Jiujin as his own person, Tang Cheng was groggy for a few days, Jiujin carried Tang Cheng in a coma everywhere to find a doctor for treatment, although these things were told to Tang Cheng by the old man surnamed Wu and the old woman, but Tang Cheng received the friendship of Jiujin in his heart. Tang Cheng, who experienced the cruelty of the fire battlefield, of course knew what it was like to fight in a war, and a slow and unresponsive guy like Jiujin would be a dead end at most, and Tang Cheng didn't think that Jiujin was suitable to stay in the second company.
"Eat, eat." The fat cook in an apron placed a large pot of hot soup on the table, and the mill and the cow baby followed behind with porridge and steamed buns. "Eat first, eat first, and talk about what you have eaten." The appearance of the cook at the right time helped the slightly embarrassed Liu Goat to make a round, Ha Lu laughed dryly, Liu Goat put the bowl of the most meaty soup in front of Tang Cheng, and echoed the cook's words to let Tang Cheng eat before talking about other things.
Now there are only a dozen people left in the second company, everyone still gathers together to eat as before, the cook is a northerner, and the vegetable soup and steamed buns are made in accordance with the habits of the north, and the heavy vegetable soup is good to say, the bowl of steamed buns with a big mouth is to surprise the nine catties who were born in the south. "Eat, eat more." Seeing that Jiujin was dazed by the steamed buns in his hands, the cook added a spoonful of vegetable soup to the bowl of Jiujin, and the salty vegetable soup made Jiujin gnaw on the big steamed buns in his hands.
"Boom" "Boom" "Boom" The sudden explosion destroyed the peace in the small courtyard, and a few clouds of smoke rose not far from the small courtyard. "Don't mess around, it's the Japanese plane, grinder, go to the city gate first with machine guns, and we'll be there soon." Liu Goat, who threw down his job, turned his head to look at Tang Cheng and Jiujin, and didn't seem to have thought about what to do with those two guys, but Tang Cheng himself had already grabbed a rifle and stood up.
"Go, go, go to the city gates." More than a dozen people in the small courtyard were chased by Liu Goat as if they had been broken by a cannonball, jumping up and grabbing their weapons and running towards the city gate with the mill, Tang Cheng and Jiujin, who were carrying rifles, also ran behind Liu Goat. When the Japanese planes bombed Nanjing, it was the time for many troops in the city to have lunch, and Tang Cheng had just rushed out of the courtyard with Liu Goat, and he encountered a large number of soldiers of the teaching corps wearing German-style steel helmets who were also rushing towards the Zhonghua Gate.
The Japanese air raid came too suddenly, and all the national army troops guarding Nanjing did not know about it, and the soldiers of the teaching corps who rushed to the Zhonghua Gate like the second company also threw down their jobs and ran out, and Tang Cheng even saw soldiers with steamed buns in their mouths among them. The Japanese fighter planes escorting the "Da Da" swooped down and pressed the firing button of the machine gun at the chaotic crowd, and straight columns of smoke burst out in the crowd, and these smoke columns were dyed red by the blood mist the next moment.
"Look for concealment, can you hit them with a fucking rifle?" Several soldiers with rifles shooting at Japanese fighters were kicked to the ground by their commander. Tang Cheng didn't have the time to pay attention to these things, the already frightened Jiujin would be tugging at the hem of his clothes at a loss, Tang Cheng had to keep up with Liu Goat's speed on the one hand, and on the other hand, he had to take Jiujin to avoid possible dangers.
"Machine guns, put a few machine guns together and fire a salvo, maybe you can take down the Japanese planes." Tang Cheng, who was out of breath, finally dragged nine catties to Zhonghua Gate, and saw more than a dozen people from the second company shooting into the sky with rifles. No matter how bad Tang Cheng's marksmanship is, he also knows that he can't hit the plane with a rifle, and Xie Bo left a war note with an idea of a machine gun salvo of an airplane, Tang Cheng didn't want to see Niu Wazi and their efforts in vain, so he shouted out the idea in the note without thinking.
"Damn, Lao Liu, what the hell are you doing? Your people have all grabbed Lao Tzu's head. "Through the smoke rising from the city gate, first the panicked Niu Wazi and Jiujin each carried a Czech light machine gun, and then from the smoke came a captain officer with the sleeves of his military uniform." What the? You guys want to knock down the Japanese planes with light machine guns? Don't fucking waste bullets, if this is known by our regiment leader, Lao Tzu, the guy who eats, may have to move. The officer complained to Liu Goat and patted his head with his hand.
