Tang Cheng's face was not very good when he returned to the first battalion defense area, and the 20th Army's defense order came too suddenly, so that Tang Cheng could only tell Ye Xin a plan that he had not carefully deduced. When Ye Xin said that the two divisions of the Japanese army had assembled in Mahuiling, Tang Cheng, who had already memorized the general terrain of the first line of repairing water, first remembered the Sanxi Bridge.

The two divisions of the Japanese army were assembled in Mahuiling, and their only purpose was to repair the Nationalist troops along the Shuishui line, but regardless of whether the Japanese army attacked Xiushui or Wuning, Sanxi Bridge would be their preferred outpost. "Third child, you come to me, I have something to tell you, the others have to prepare, we are going to leave here." Tang Cheng, who had been straining his face, made Wu Laosan a little apprehensive, he thought that Tang Cheng called him to go to Changsha to find the unsuccessful matter of the Dian army.

"Third child, I just received the order, the troops are about to be pulled, we have to go to Sandu Town to garrison and defend the back road of the Wuning defenders." Tang Cheng threw Wu Laosan a cigarette, which made Wu Laosan, who was apprehensive, breathe a sigh of relief. "Among us people, only you and Zhang Hu walked to Changsha, so you and Zhang Hu don't have to follow you when you go to Sandu Town this time. Xiaobao and Lin Ying are still just children, the battlefield is not something they can go to at their age, I want you and Zhang Hu to take them away first. ”

Tang Cheng's words made Wu Laosan dumbfounded, he didn't expect Tang Cheng to call him for such a thing, Wu Laosan, who hadn't reacted yet, asked a little sneeringly, "Sir, you look down on me Wu Laosan, right?" I have done a lot of unobtrusive things in the first half of my life, but I am also a bloody man, I may not be good at fighting, but I can always help the fat man cook and make a fire. You don't let me go to the battlefield, I can still stay behind and carry a wounded or something, besides, Xiaobao is following you now, why do you push a child to me. ”

Wu Laosan put on a look of not coming in with oil and salt, but unfortunately he couldn't bluff Tang Cheng, "Third child, listen carefully to me, this time is different, we have to go to the mouths of tens of thousands of little devils to grab food, which is hundreds of times more dangerous than when we were chased by little devils on the other side of the Fushui River, and bringing Xiaobao and Lin Ying is harming them." You can't fight, but you're a good hand at dealing with people, I'll be relieved that you take care of them, and besides, it's not like we'll never see each other again, you just go to the front station first, and we'll go to you later." ”

Wu Laosan didn't understand why Tang Cheng had to leave first with Zhang Xiaobao and Lin Ying, but his years of experience in the rivers and lakes had already made him hear the danger from Tang Cheng's words. "You have to go, I will ask the stone to give you money, we will leave early tomorrow morning, you leave an hour early, and you will wait for us in Pingjiang County." Tang Cheng stretched out his hand and patted Wu Laosan's shoulder, then turned to leave, leaving Wu Laosan alone still sitting in a daze.

Sending Zhang Xiaobao and Lin Ying away in advance is Tangcheng's last resort decision, the big battle is about to start, and he has to take his soldiers out of Sanxi Bridge to snatch the supplies of the Japanese army, if there is anything wrong on the way, Zhang Xiaobao and Lin Ying are afraid that it will be difficult for them to come back alive. "Fat horse, I'll give you 20 people, burn all the grain into flatbread, and tomorrow morning, let's leave." Tang Cheng, who left the room, called Ma Fatzi again, and Ma Fatzi, who didn't know that the troops were going to be pulled, didn't dare to ask more, but just took people to the room to work.

"The order of the military department wants us to change our guard and go to Sandu Town, and prepare dry food is our battalion for other actions." Seeing that the old northeast didn't understand their move to order the rectification of dry food, Tang Cheng casually explained, the people who could be called into the room were Tang Cheng's reassuring people, and Tang Cheng didn't want to hide it from the old northeast. "According to the plan of me and Commander Ye, the 2nd Battalion will go to Sandu Town to garrison, and our 1st Battalion will go to Sanxi Bridge to find trouble with the Japanese army, within fifteen days, we will return to Sandu Town if we get enough weapons and ammunition."

The large map had been opened and spread out on the table, and Tang Cheng marked his planned route on the map with a pencil, "We crossed the Xiushui, and then followed Luoxi, Yanyang, and Yangzhou to the east into the Sanxi Bridge, and after looking for the Japanese ambush at the Sanxi Bridge, we returned to Sandu Town by the same route with the captured materials." In the middle of this, we have to march all the way for more than 100 miles, and maybe we don't need to rush to Sanxi Bridge at all, and we can meet the Japanese army. ”

He had already been about to go crazy by the rain and building fortifications for days, and when Lao Dongbei learned that there was another war, he immediately cracked his mouth and smiled, but in a blink of an eye, he cried and lost his face. "No, although we have almost 300 people, we only have less than 200 rifles, and the bullets are only enough for 20 rounds per gun, so we can't fight the little devils with this little thing." Old Northeast's words came out, Hou San and the others nodded again and again, if a force that was not even short of weapons and ammunition ran a hundred miles away to snatch food from the mouths of the Japanese army.

"Don't worry so much about this, concentrate all the weapons and ammunition in our hands, pick out 60 of the best marksmanship, divide the bullets equally among them, and send the excess weapons to the 2nd battalion. I have already told Commander Ye that he will go to the 20th Army to get us two Czech light machine guns to come back, counting our original two Japanese machine guns, four light machine guns and 60 rifles The firepower is enough to ambush the Japanese squad-level troops, as long as we plan well, we will definitely be able to come back alive. ”

Tang Cheng's words have already been said here, and the old northeast they can understand Tang Cheng's plan, and select 70 people from the entire battalion as the main force, and the rest will be used as baggage soldiers and peripheral help. 70 people are selected out of 300 people, and these 70 people should be the elite of the veterans of a battalion, such a group of elites plus four light machine guns to help in the battle, not to mention a small team of Japanese soldiers, even if they fight against two squads of Japanese soldiers, they may not be defeated.

"That's what Tang Cheng really told you?" Ye Chuang turned his head to look at his younger brother Ye Xin, who came here in the rain, Ye Xin came to find his brother, naturally to ask for a light machine gun. Two Czech light machine guns are not difficult for Ye Chuang, but he must ask about the situation, the 20th Army is not a fat sheep, and his younger brother can't open his mouth, so he has to get two machine guns for him to take away. Knowing that the machine gun was wanted by Tang Cheng, Ye Chuang wanted to understand the whole thing even more, otherwise he would be implicated if something went wrong.

Ye Xin didn't know what his brother meant, but with the help of Ye Chuang's map here, he repeated the plan that Tang Cheng had told him. "I can't see it, this Tang Cheng is not very old, but he can fight, I'm afraid that even those combat staff officers in the military department may not have such knowledge." After listening to his brother's narration, Ye Chuang was full of praise for Tang Cheng's plan, Sichuan people are not blood-weary in their bones, and Tang Cheng's plan to run a hundred miles is very much Ye Chuang's appetite.

Hearing that his brother also said that this plan was good, Ye Xin couldn't help but be overjoyed, and asked again and again if the machine gun he asked for was in hand. "You, I was expecting you to be the commander of the temporary regiment first, and then find an opportunity to transfer you back to the 20th Army later, but you also have to fight for me. It's okay to don't fiddle with your weird things, Tang Cheng can be seven or eight years younger than you, but he has already commanded a company to fight to the death with the little devil, you have to learn more from him. ”

Ye Xin has been afraid of his brother since he was a child, and the brother who listened to him compared himself with Tang Cheng, and he was very disappreciative at the moment, if it wasn't for the machine gun that Tang Cheng needed to get back, Ye Xin would not have been patient to sit here and listen to his brother's preaching. Preaching is for the good of his younger brother, Ye Chuang, as his brother, is naturally duty-bound, and when it was almost dark, Ye Xincai, who was dizzy and distraught by preaching, returned to the barracks of the provisional regiment with two Czech light machine guns and ammunition transferred by his brother.

"Tang Cheng, this is the Czech light machine gun and ammunition you wanted, in order to get them, I wasted a lot of energy, you must remember to bring them back." Being compared with Tang Cheng by his brother, it is impossible for Ye Xin to be angry in his heart, but he is not a fledgling hairy boy, in front of Tang Cheng, Ye Xin is atmospheric enough.

Seeing that Ye Xin really got the machine gun, Tang Cheng was also very happy, the machine gun was in hand, and the success of this attack was a little more. Even if it is placed in the regular troops of the national army, the firepower of the salvo of four machine guns is not weak, and the Japanese squad-level troops have at most 1 or 2 machine guns, and they will definitely win if they fight with four machine guns, as long as they are not their own people.

"Don't tell the people below yet, if someone asks about the concentration of weapons and the selection of gunners, they will say that it is part of the training, and they can only tell them after they leave here on the road tomorrow, otherwise there will be trouble." Old Northeast They all had solemn faces, even Mu Lianshan, Tang Cheng told Mu Lianshan about letting Wu Laosan leave at dinner, and the latter breathed a sigh of relief, "Mr. Mu, you don't have to follow us this time, tomorrow you follow the 2nd Battalion all the way, and go to Sandu Town first to wait for us." I will ask Wu Laosan to wait in Pingjiang with Xiaobao and Lin Ying, if we can't rush back to Sandu Town, you will go to Pingjiang to meet Wu Laosan and them. "If this attack fails, only a quarter of them have weapons and they will not be able to come back alive, and what Tang Cheng said to Mu Lianshan at this time is already his worst plan.

It was already late at night, and most of the soldiers who didn't know the inside story had already slept, and Tang Cheng was still walking around the camp in full armor. It had been a while since he had fought face-to-face with the Japanese army, and Tang Cheng had almost forgotten what the battlefield was like when it was full of blood and gunsmoke. Walking around the camp with a gun on his shoulder, Tang Cheng can retrieve those memories that are about to be forgotten.
