Tang Cheng had already made it very clear that pretending to be soldiers might be dangerous, but among these civilians who had already followed them all the way, dozens of young men still stood up. Tang Cheng's words in front of everyone yesterday left a deep impression on them, these civilians didn't believe that such an officer who was familiar with the battle would lose his life, and if there were really bandits in front, otherwise, all the people here would not be able to reach Xinhua along the way.

Tan Fei, who had long known that he would be like this, unconsciously looked at Tang Cheng secretly, although Tang Cheng was on crutches at this time with a solemn expression, Tan Fei knew that Tang Cheng must have already smiled in his heart. "You knew this was going to happen, didn't you? And what you said yesterday was not unintentional, you deliberately pretended not to see the civilians who eavesdropped on you? Tan Fei still couldn't hold back in the end, and asked all the questions in his heart.

Tan Fei slowly took out a cigarette from his pocket and put it in his mouth, then smoked it with the match that Tan Fei was drawing, and then turned his face to look at Tan Fei, "Is your kid itchy again?" Among us people, that is, you have read a lot of books, and you look like Zhou Zheng, such a face-showing thing brought you here, but you came to doubt me. It seems that after waiting for Xinhua, you have to increase the amount of training every day, and if you don't train well with such energy, wouldn't it be all wasteful. ”

Tang Cheng deliberately diverted the topic, but Tan Fei was indeed a guy who admitted death, seeing that Tang Cheng deliberately did not answer his question, he followed Tang Cheng to death, no matter Tang Cheng sat and walked, Tan Fei would definitely appear less than 2 meters away from Tang Cheng. "I said, is there something wrong with your brain? Lao Tzu is, don't you yourself, what's so good about, get out. Tang Cheng, who was forced to be anxious, had no choice but to resort to a trick that had not been tried and tested, which made Tan Fei stay away from him, but looking at Tan Fei's unrelenting posture, maybe he would follow him later.

"What did I do, I knew it would be like this, I shouldn't have left you dead eyes in the first place." Tang Cheng was forced by Tan Fei to take a beautiful photo, so he had to go back and close his eyes on the cart, and Tan Fei really appeared on the wheel of the cart. "What do you say you asked so carefully? As long as we can cross Huanglong Mountain along the way, why break the casserole and ask in the end, sometimes it is not a good thing to know the answer, and if you know too much, the more troubles you will have in your heart. ”

Seeing that Tang Cheng still didn't want to say, Tan Fei didn't chase and ask, just sat cross-legged with Tang Cheng in the cart and wiped the gun, neither of them spoke for a while, Tan Fei just buried his head in wiping the gun, while Tang Cheng was wrapped in a military blanket and watched those civilians and young people practicing with the people of the Yunnan army. Although it is not true that these civilians are required to go into battle to kill the enemy, in order to deceive those bandits who may appear, these civilians who have changed into the uniforms of the Yunnan army must undergo basic training, at least so that people will not be exposed at a glance.

Training these civilians pretending to be soldiers does not need to be too strict, just the queue practice of standing and turning left and right, and the action of handling the gun, whether it is marching with a gun on their backs or preparing to shoot with a gun, Tang Cheng requires them to be similar. Tang Cheng knew that the bandits also had spies, but it was impossible for the bandits' spies to know that these people who were being trained were civilians, counting these fake soldiers, there were almost 200 soldiers in military uniforms in Tang Cheng's queue, as long as the bandits with a little vision generally did not dare to attack such a number of troops, not to mention that Tang Cheng still had 20 veterans who had really fought to the death.

"Don't say it, as long as these people have a little training, they are not necessarily worse than the local militias, as long as the weapons and ammunition can keep up, they may not be the opponents of the bandits." Tang Chengwo watched quietly on the cart for a while, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion. If there had been such a group of people in Mengcheng that day, perhaps Liu Goat would not have died in Mengcheng because of the lack of troops, until now, Tang Cheng still thinks that Liu Goat's death was caused by the poor combat effectiveness of the garrison at that time.

Tang Cheng finally spoke, but Tan Fei, who lowered his head and wiped his gun, did not answer, but his ears had already been pricked up, and every word Tang Cheng said did not escape his ears. "In fact, since the evacuation of Shanghai, I have been pondering one thing, obviously our Chinese population is many times larger than Japan, the number of troops is also more than the Japanese army, and there are not a few soldiers in the army who can fight to the death, but why are we chased and beaten all the way by the Japanese army?"

Tang Cheng's words made Tan Fei unconsciously stop the movements in his hands, this topic was obviously a little big, but Tan Fei's ears itched for a while, and he wanted to know what Tang Cheng would say next. "When the second company evacuated Shanghai, it was already a disabled wing, and we were stationed in Qiandeng Town according to Shangfeng's order to receive the soldiers and wounded of the 88th Division. But where there will be wounded and routed soldiers, whether they are soldiers or wounded who have been scattered by the Japanese army, they have already been desperately fighting with the Japanese army in Shanghai. ”

"Qiandeng Town, we have been in Qiandeng Town for half a month, but we have not received a single 88th Division's rout and wounded, the only thing we can do is to help Qiandeng Town train the militia. At that time, the war in Shanghai was already raging, many troops were ordered to be transferred to Shanghai to participate in the war, and many refugees and defeated troops were withdrawn from Shanghai, and the militia did no different things than regular troops. Speaking of Qiandeng Town, Tang Cheng's tone gradually lowered, and Tan Fei finally stopped his movements and listened carefully.

"It's not as easy as it is now for us to recruit militia groups, we all have real money, we all know that the Japanese army is strong, and those civilians would rather run away with their families than stay in Qiandeng Town with us stupidly. In the end, there was no way, we had to set up a checkpoint in Qiandeng Town to block the rout soldiers who withdrew from the front, just for this, I also killed two rout soldiers who broke through the pass with my own hands, then I was just a squad leader. Later, I heard that the militia group we formed at that time had exchanged fire with the Japanese army, and the entire militia group of more than 300 people died in Qiandeng Town, and half of those 300 people were local civilians. ”

"When the city of Nanjing was besieged by the Japanese army, the artillery fire and bullets were overwhelming, and although I was a little scared, I was not timid. There were only a few dozen people left in the second company, but we exchanged fire with the Japanese army several times outside the city, until only a few of us were still in the city and exchanged fire with the Japanese infiltration troops, and I was not afraid. Until we rushed to the Rujiang Gate to prepare to evacuate, looking at the people and the rout soldiers who were blocked under the city gate, I was afraid, I was really afraid. ”

"Thousands of people were barricaded at the gates, can you imagine what it was like? I'm not afraid to tell you, we relied on a few leggings to climb over the city wall and withdraw from Nanjing City. There are only a few boats at Shimonoseki Wharf, which can't carry so many people at all, and in order to get on the ferry, some people shoot and some fight, and some people are pushed into the water and drowned. So many people crowded the Shimonoseki wharf, but no one had the courage to turn around and go to the Japanese army to engage in battle, you say it's ridiculous.

This is the first time Tan Fei has heard Tang Cheng mention the Nanjing War, probably because of what he has experienced along the way to the south, Tan Fei did not put Tang Cheng into the pile of those who have no courage. "At that time, I understood one thing, it was not that we Chinese could not defeat the Japanese soldiers, but because we Chinese took ourselves too seriously, and we all thought that there would be others to fight for themselves. As a result, everyone thought like this, and everyone wanted to keep their lives alive, so they were chased by the Japanese army all over the world. ”

"So, I look down on these fleeing people from the bottom of my bones, the country is almost gone, what is the use of keeping that humble life." Tan Fei was taken aback by Tang Cheng's words, and subconsciously looked around to see if anyone had heard Tang Cheng's words just now. "You don't have to be nervous, what if they hear it, if it weren't for their own lives, do you think they would have agreed to my mention to pretend to be a soldier? If it weren't for us, they wouldn't have been able to get to Xinhua at all. ”

Xu saw the confusion in Tan Fei's eyes, and Tang Cheng smiled, "Are you thinking in your heart that if you follow what I just said, we are all deserters?" You are wrong, we are all people who have shed blood for the country, you look at these soldiers who have returned home under our escort, do you dare to say that they are not injured like this for the country? And those of us, none of whom have ever killed Japanese soldiers, and even you, a college student, have not become the same virtue as now. ”

"Since I joined the Second Company, I have not received a single salary from the National Army, and even the cost of rebuilding the Second Company several times was obtained by myself. If you calculate strictly, I can't be considered a member of the national army at all, at most it's a fucking militia group, maybe in the eyes of those military bosses, the brothers around Lao Tzu who died in the battle from Mengcheng are probably not even a militia group. This was the first time Tan Fei had heard Tang Cheng complain, and Tang Cheng's roar left Tan Fei speechless.

On the way south, Tang Cheng bothered Baal to get money and find ways to get weapons and ammunition for everyone, these were all things that Tan Fei saw in his eyes, not to mention that Tang Cheng did not harass civilians. "These people only burst out with such enthusiasm when they are for themselves and their families, and when they are asked to make sacrifices for others, these people will immediately become the same virtue as the defeated soldiers we have encountered. So why do I have to fight for some people I don't know, Lao Tzu is also willing to find a safer place to live well, who the hell dares to say that Lao Tzu is a deserter, Lao Tzu can smack him in the face, Lao Tzu killed more devil soldiers at the age of 19 than in their lives. ”

Tan Fei finally understood why Tang Cheng had gone around so many circles, and he had to let these civilians wear military uniforms, it wasn't that Tang Cheng really hated these civilians who could only escape. Tang Cheng did this just to let these civilians know the cruelty of the war, so that when the Japanese army really arrived, they would not even have the courage to fight back.
