Chapter 54: I'm Idle
"Since we were born in this era, we can't blame our parents, and we can't blame the country because the country is weak and invaded by the Japanese invaders. Although Xiaobao is still young, they can only be like this in this era, let them see the tragedy of the war in advance, not to teach them to kill, but to let them have a deep understanding of killing and being killed, so that they will not lose their lives in the future. Mu Lianshan complained that Tang Cheng should not let Zhang Xiaobao and the two soldiers of the Yunnan Army follow him again to suppress the bandits, but the answer given by Tang Cheng made Mu Lianshan unable to refute.
Like Liu Shishi, Tang Cheng really didn't want to let go of the bandits' nest in Mocone Mountain, and early the next morning, Tang Cheng took Hou San and the others to set off again to clear out the remaining bandits. Tang Cheng looked at the map carefully, this should be their last chance to enter the Yunnan territory, Tang Cheng's move was not to cover up the matter of tobacco and soil, but to let Liu Shi and them grow up faster.
"Let's go too, Hou San, if they are fast enough, maybe this will already be waiting for us." Two hours after Hou San and the others set off, Tang Cheng, who had already prepared, ordered the brigade to set off and rush to the Shuangfeng Valley to join Hou San and them. It was only at this time that Li Dafu and the others, who were forced by Liu Shiqiang, knew the actual number of them in Tangcheng, and watched the carloads of disabled soldiers leave the village first, and Li Dafu, who was placed in the rear team, couldn't help but smack their tongues again and again.
"These are the disabled Dian soldiers who were withdrawn from the Changsha front, they were ordered to escort these disabled soldiers back to their hometowns, and we are the students they rescued along the way." Li Dafu thought that Gao Hai, who was wearing old military uniforms in the same car, was also soldiers, but he didn't want Gao Hai and them to be all students, and two of them were female students. "Don't look at these people who look vicious, in fact, they are all very good people to deal with, but their chief is not a good person."
Gao Hai still couldn't forget that Tang Cheng forced the four of them to follow the training, those days of running desperately with stones on his back made him remember it vividly, compared to Hou San and the others who had been training them with a straight face, Gao Hai was most afraid of Tang Cheng. Li Dafu failed to meet Tang Cheng, and the young chief was only looked at by Li Dafu when he left the village, although he didn't know why Gao Hai said that Tang Cheng was not easy to get along with, but Li Dafu was very smart and didn't ask about it.
Without those civilians who followed all the way, Tang Cheng and the others were indeed much faster, and when they arrived at the Twin Peaks Valley, the expected Hou San and the others had not yet appeared, Tang Cheng had to order the convoy to stand by and wait for Hou San and their return. "Aren't you worried about the stones, how many of them are small?" Seeing that Tang Cheng still looked heartless, Mu Lianshan, who was worried early in the morning, hated to kick Tang Cheng off the cart and beat him up again.
"Worried about what? They're clearing out bandits, but we're here, what's the use of worrying? Even if I want to reach them now, I can't reach them, and with that spare time, it's better to do something I like to do quickly. Mu Lianshan's words reminded Tang Cheng that Gao Hai and the four of them didn't seem to have run in circles today. Tang Cheng left under the pretext of leaving, Mu Lianshan could only complain to Tang Cheng's back, but in fact, as Tang Cheng said, all they could do was wait here, worrying about something was completely in vain.
In the incomprehension of Gao Hai's four people who gritted their teeth and Li Dafu, the daily music of the wounded soldiers finally kicked off, and as the protagonists, it was naturally Gao Hai who had already put on their backpacks. "What are they doing? Why do you need to stuff a rucksack with stones? Seeing that the wounded soldiers on the cart had already laughed, the young man surnamed Zhang couldn't help but whisper to the female student sitting next to him, Gao Hai's behavior was so strange that even Li Dafu was very surprised.
The female student who was asked by the young man surnamed Zhang replied with a smile, "Senior Gao has been clamoring for Chief Tang to give them guns, and Chief Tang said that they are not trained and cannot shoot guns." Senior Gao, they are carrying out daily physical training, this is the weight-bearing training that Chief Tang said, seniors, they have to carry more than 15 kilograms of weight to run 3 kilometers non-stop. When a few people were talking in a whisper, the four Gao Hai people with empty guns were already running, and the idle wounded soldiers began to shout loudly to cheer for the four of them.
The four of Gao Hai, who were holding back their strength in their hearts, ran steadily at first, and when they heard that the wounded soldiers were cheering for themselves, the four people who had been maintaining this constant speed gradually lost their breath, and when there were only two laps left before Tang Cheng's designated number of laps, Gao Hai and the others in the field were already exhausted and fell into the grass on the side of the road. "Ah, there are dead people, there are dead people here." Gao Hai's two classmates almost crawled out of the grass, and the soldiers in charge of the guard went to check when they heard the sound, only to find that the corpses in the grass were the bandits that Hou San and they had killed here yesterday.
"Dig a pit and bury these corpses, although these are bandits, they are always Chinese, and the violent corpse wilderness is not good, so as not to frighten passers-by here." Tang Cheng took a look at it, and then asked someone to dig a pit in the field to bury the corpses scattered in the grass. These corpses were buried in time when Hou San returned to the village yesterday, but fortunately, there were not many corpses, with the help of Li Dafu and several soldiers guarding the convoy, it only took a while for these stones to be buried in the field by the roadside.
"Maybe I've seen too many dead people, and now I see that the corpses are no different from these stones and weeds on the side of the road, do you think I'm a little demonic?" The soldiers were digging pits to bury the corpses, but Tang Cheng pulled Mu Lianshan to sit in the cart and gossip nonsense. Mu Lianshan was very helpless, he wanted to take advantage of this time to go to the field on the side of the road to find some usable herbs, but he was dragged by Tang Cheng to stop here and waste time by chatting nonsense.
"I think you're idle, I didn't see you like this in Liuyang, and when you get to Kunming, you better quickly find someone from the Huang family to find an errand, I think you will be idle like this again, sooner or later, you will be idle." Mu Lianshan looked impatient, but he still wanted to persuade Tang Cheng a few words. As everyone knows, when Mu Lianshan said these words, Tang Cheng was secretly laughing, Tang Cheng was indeed idle, he was simply pulling Mu Lianshan to talk nonsense, except for chatting nonsense with Mu Lianshan, Tang Cheng couldn't think of anything else now.
Stretching out his hand and groping his chin, Tang Cheng slanted a glance at Mu Lianshan, who was still gushing beside him, "Do you think I'm also like Lian Commander Xie and also write a war notebook." In the future, I don't need to train them personally, just let them read my notes for themselves, isn't this how I learned to fight in the first place, it's time to let them suffer a little. "After getting along with Tang Cheng for a long time, Mu Lianshan naturally knows what Tang Cheng is talking about war notes, but he doesn't think Tang Cheng is a person who can really calm down and write notes.
"I think you better forget it, you also want to write notes on the little thing in your stomach, I think you write a diary is not bad, it's best to record the things you waste time doing all day long." Mu Lianshan's counterattack made Tang Cheng extremely helpless, the two were still chatting nonsense, and the soldier in charge of guarding in the distance had already sent a signal, saying that Hou San and the others were back.
"You didn't see it, we just swept a shuttle with a machine gun, and those bandits honestly raised the white flag, and I was loaded with bullets but didn't have a chance to shoot out." Zhang Xiaobao, who returned safely, was full of veterans' tones, and even when he walked with the two Yunnan soldiers, he also learned to walk like a veteran. Tang Cheng, who couldn't cry or laugh, rewarded them with a shock, and the three restless boys were honest.
"There's nothing to say, as soon as we went, the bandits surrendered. We didn't take any food, we just brought back their weapons and ammunition, a bag of gold and silver jewelry, and then we found two gold bars and some oceans. Hou San and the others, who left on horseback, brought back a big cart, and the cart was stacked with the things Hou San and they brought back from the bandits' nest, and Tang Cheng, who saw the Hanyang-made rifles, frowned again and again, but it was the gold bars and the ocean that made Tang Cheng happy for a while.
"Most of the bandits' dens are old and weak, women and children, I left a message, asking them to disperse by themselves or go to Anxian County to surrender, anyway, they have no weapons, and it is unlikely that they will want to rob the road to live." Hou San's answer made Tang Cheng quite satisfied, this guy from a bandit background did not kill those old and weak women and children, at least he also learned to consider the problem correctly, as for whether those remnants of bandits would automatically disperse or surrender, it was completely out of Tang Cheng's consideration.
"32 long guns, 4 short guns, no more than 800 rounds of ammunition, and two grenades that I don't know if they can be used." Tan Fei had already counted all the weapons and ammunition captured by the two groups of bandits, although it was not as good as what they had gained when they cleared out other bandits in Tang City, but if these things were traded in the black market, at least they could be exchanged for enough food for them for a few months.
"Okay, that's good with these, we don't live by clearing out bandits. Tell everyone to pack up their things and get ready to go, rush to Anxian County as soon as possible to take a shower and change clothes, and then enter Yunnan soon, we can't let Yunnan people see us as Huazi. Seeing that Tan Fei was about to become a money fan like Liu Shishi, Tang Cheng couldn't bear it and didn't teach Tan Fei a lesson. Tan Fei and Liu Shishi will be like this, it is also for everyone's sake, they have suffered too much along the way, and they are about to enter Yunnan, and Tang Cheng also wants to make the people around him lighter.
"Let's go, rest when we arrive in Anxian County, drink wine and eat meat, take a bath and change new clothes tonight." Tang Cheng's order made everyone cheer, these disabled veterans were not very interested in bathing and changing new clothes, but they were interested in drinking wine and eating meat, and they were willing to be soldiers in the first place just to live a good life of drinking and eating meat.
