After two days of strict defense, the expected Li Linge did not appear, not only did the people of the Li family not appear, but even the people of Mengcheng County Government did not care about Liu Goat, which made Liu Goat, who was ready to deal with it, a little confused. "What the hell is this Li Linge trying to do? Since his family is the sitting tiger of this Mengcheng, he has suffered such a big loss for what he has suffered but chose to calm down, which seems to be a little different from the Li Linge we have learned. Liu Goat and Lu Yong squatted in the courtyard, basking in the noon sun, while talking about Li Linge, who was not moving.

is different from Liu Goat's strength, Lu Yong now only thinks about eating a few days to take care of himself and his brothers' bodies, and then hurries back to his hometown in Sichuan, as long as he returns home, whether it is the National Government or Li Linge, it has nothing to do with them. "You're just a stuffy gourd, it's too aggrieved to talk to you, I'll take a few people out for a walk." Seeing that Lu Yong was very moisturized by the sun, the sullen Liu Goat spit out the cigarette butt in his mouth and got up to leave.

Liu Goat has been pondering the checkpoint set up by the Mengcheng militia outside the county seat, although the people of the militia have been taught by him and dare not go to the private checkpoint to collect the road money, but those wooden horses are still left on the side of the avenue. "Don't be lazy, you kid, Dr. Tian just said that you don't want to exercise vigorously, and he didn't tell you to lie down all day to recuperate, and go for a walk with Lao Tzu." Regardless of whether Tang Cheng agreed or not, Liu Goat directly beckoned Jiujin to carry Tang Cheng to the carriage, and then beckoned Zhang Yun to take a few people to follow him out of the barracks compound and go straight to the direction of the city gate.

"I've been thinking about this Li Linge for the past two days, and it is said that such a guy who covers the sky with one hand should not bow his head to us, so I think this old boy may be secretly thinking about some bad moves." Liu Goat glanced at Tang Cheng, who was lazily lying on his back in the carriage, although Tang Cheng did not look at him, Liu Goat knew that Tang Cheng was listening to him. "There have been a lot of routs of the national army in the county town in the past two days, do you say that we should also intercept some routs and come back, in case this Li Linge thief is not dead and has to make it bad, we might as well have a means of self-preservation, or it would be a pity for us to have rich guns and ammunition."

Tang Cheng squinted at Liu Goat silently, and when he heard him talk about the checkpoint outside the city, Tang Cheng knew that Liu Goat was thinking about rebuilding the Second Company again. The most needed thing for the rebuilding troops is naturally manpower and weapons and ammunition, and the weapons and ammunition of the Mengcheng militia and the Li family fast gun team are all locked in the compound, as long as Liu Shanyang has enough soldiers in his hands, he can immediately pull out another second company.

"Didn't we already say that we were going to Sichuan? Why is this going to change again, you don't even know where the 88th Division is now, and besides, the 88th Division may think that you have died in the city of Nanjing, maybe your name has been erased from the roster, that is, you have rebuilt the second company, where do we go to rebuild? Tang Cheng designated Liu Shanyang to return to the 88th Division, but now this situation does not allow them to consider these at all, thinking that they will not be able to find where the 88th Division went after crossing the river.

Liu Goat laughed a few times, and then leaned over to Tang Cheng and lay down, "I didn't say that we won't go to Sichuan, didn't I say it just now, this is to guard against Li Linge's secret bad preparations." You think, this old boy must have something to do with this new 20th Division, we only have more than 40 people now, and most of them are Sichuan troops who speak Sichuan dialect, and no one who listens to them will not regard Company Commander Lu and them as people from our 88th Division, in case the Mengcheng County Government is alive and the new 20th Division comes forward, we are the ones who suffer the most. ”

"But it's not a way for you to recruit soldiers, let's just pay for Dr. Tian's medicine and treatment, so many people still have to open their mouths to eat, you get dozens of people back, Lao Xu should strike there." Tang Cheng shook off Liu Goat's hand on his shoulder, then sat up and turned his head to look at Liu Goat, "Lao Xu said yesterday that the prices here are about to catch up with those in Nanjing City, and the daily eating, drinking and Lazar of our forty or so people is a big expense, you really think that your ill-gotten wealth can be spent for a lifetime." ”

Nine catties are suitable for guarding property, but you can spend money on things but you don't know how to fool Liu Goat in Chinese medicine, and Lao Xu, who has reached middle age, actually promised Liu Goat to do the work of Mr. Ledger. Liu Goat is a spender who can't think of a brain, and he is very strong, every time Lao Xu is angry, he can only complain to Tang Cheng, so Tang Cheng has reached the point where he knows their current financial situation well.

"30, I'll get 30 people back." Liu Goat raised three fingers at Tang Cheng, "We have machine guns again now, but there is no suitable machine gunner, you can't ask me to fight with the little devil with a machine gun." Besides, now that there are wars going on everywhere, which army have you ever seen that still pays military salaries? As long as you take care of the food, I have already asked Lao Xu before I came out, and there is no problem at all with 30 more people, and we don't want to stay in this Mengcheng without leaving. ”

Liu Goat said as he rushed to Zhang Yunnu, who was rushing to the car, Tang Cheng's reaction was not slow, and he immediately guessed that Liu Goat's other intention to recruit people was to beware of Lu Yong and his gang of Sichuan troops. The heart of defense is indispensable, this is what Liu Goat and Xie Bo once said, especially in this kind of war, just the gold bars they snatched from the Li family's fast gun team were enough for Lu Yong and them to kill people, not to mention that only the three of them in Tang Cheng were dedicated to Liu Goat.

"Okay, since you've already asked Lao Xu, then there will be 30 people at most." Tang Cheng nodded at Liu Goat a little helplessly, he also knew that Liu Goat was to have the ability to protect himself, once they fell out with Lu Yong and them, at least there were people who could make Lu Yong and them throw a rat trap. When the militia guarding the city gate saw Liu Goat and their two carriages coming, they immediately moved the horses away early, and by the way, drove away the idlers who had entered and exited the city gate.

Maybe Liu Goat's luck really came, they didn't go far from the county seat, and before they arrived at the checkpoint that day, a group of refugees and routs appeared in the distance on the road. "These guys are good, they are already like this, and they still have the time to protect those refugees." Liu Goat stood on the carriage and looked at the telescope he had snatched from the Zhou brothers. Naturally, what he paid attention to was the rout of the national army mixed with the group of refugees, but these routs had been walking on the flanks and tails of the refugees, and those who had fought could see at a glance that these routs were marching like this to protect those refugees.

"Isn't that just right, you just cut down these good-looking guys." Although he was wearing a military coat, Tang Cheng still felt a chill on his body, if he could go back and nest on the warm wooden bed now, it would be better. Rolling his eyes at Tang Cheng, Liu Goat didn't pay attention to Tang Cheng, but continued to observe the defeated soldiers with a telescope, hoping to see from his outfit what kind of troops these defeated soldiers belonged to.

From the military caps worn on the heads of those routed soldiers, Liu Goat was already able to conclude that these guys were definitely not genuine national army troops, because he knew that the national army regular troops in Ludao had already been issued with German-style steel helmets, and the main troops of the national army used Zhongzheng rifles at the second, and they would still be made in Hanyang like these guys. "Let's just wait here, I thought I'd meet the head of this group of routs for a while, it should be an interesting guy." Liu took out a cigarette and lit it, then sat on the wheel and waited for the arrival of the refugees and the rout.

"Tell your leaders to come and speak, and say that the people of the 88th Division here are ordered to gather the scattered soldiers of the national army here and return to the team." When one of those scouts appeared in front of Liu Goat nervously, Liu Goat, who had a calm face, stood up and directly asked the scout to go back and ask their leader to come and talk.

Being able to escort a large group of refugees all the way back without forgetting to act in accordance with the marching discipline shows that these routs will definitely not be scattered and go their own way, and there will definitely be a leader among them, even if it is a temporary leader. "Hello sir, Yao Baolin, a sergeant of the Suzhou Security Corps, is here to report." After a short time, a sturdy-looking officer of the national army appeared in front of Liu Goat, but Yao Baolin, who had the rank of major pinned to his collar, said that he was just a small sergeant.

"The Suzhou Security Regiment was transferred to Shanghai to fight, and my company was left to guard the material warehouse of our regiment, but the battle in Shanghai failed, and our regiment was also beaten to pieces, and then the little devils continued to attack Suzhou, and our security regiment was completely dispersed. A group of our brothers got together to prepare for another fight with the little devils, but the little devils had too many troops, and we had to choose to retreat. There were devil troops everywhere, and we had nowhere to go, so we kept going around Suzhou in circles with the devil soldiers, and then we heard that Nanjing was also defeated, so we were ready to go to Hubei, and we met these refugees on the way, so we escorted them all the way here. ”

Although Yao Baolin's words were not much, he could tell that this person was an atmospheric person, and he just had the impression of death, and Liu Goat wanted to pull him into his team. "Since you have said so much, then I will not hide it from you, I am the company commander of the 1st Battalion and 2nd Company of the 524th Regiment of the 88th Division, my company has been fighting in Nanjing City for half a month, and there are only three people left in the whole company, and I have lost contact with the 88th Division before crossing the river, we are now with some people from the Sichuan Army, and we are ready to go to Sichuan when the brothers' injuries are better, now there are bandits and bandits everywhere, as long as we have guns in our hands, we can drop a lot of money just by suppressing bandits along the way, Do you have the courage to take your brothers and go to Sichuan with me? ”
