Chapter 59 Joint Operations
Before dinner, Tang Cheng and the others finally arrived at the branch volcano to join Lin Jiadong and the others, but the national army rout that Lin Jiadong found in the mountains gave Tang Cheng a little headache, because these dozens of national army routs were not from the same unit. "Some of us are from the Sichuan Army, and a few of them are from the 66th Army, and my platoon commander and I are both from the 83rd Army. Recalling the scene of breaking through from Nanjing, Wu Chuang still has palpitations on his face.
"83rd Army?" Hearing Wu Chuang say that he was from the 83rd Army, Tang Cheng couldn't help but look at him twice, and after making sure that he hadn't seen Wu Chuang, he said slowly, "I know that your 83rd Army, when you were in Nanjing City, the 156th Division of your 83rd Army was stationed in Guanghuamen, and I was also in Guanghuamen at that time, and when I fought street battles with the Japanese troops entering the city, I also saved dozens of wounded soldiers of your 156th Division, but I haven't seen you." ”
Tang Cheng's words made Wu Chuang laugh twice, "At that time, Nanjing City was full of soldiers, and our 83rd Army had been split into a mess, not only Guanghuamen had our people, but also Shuiximen, I and our platoon commander were ordered to protect the military headquarters, if we hadn't followed the military headquarters, maybe we wouldn't have been able to escape from Nanjing City, but it's a pity for those brothers who stayed in the city." The tragic situation in Nanjing that day was the pain in the hearts of every soldier of the National Army who had experienced the Battle of Nanjing.
"My name is Tang Cheng, and I am the company commander of the 1st Battalion and 2nd Company of the 524th Regiment of the 88th Division of the National Army. It's rare to meet someone who is also destined, and there are naturally more words between Tang Cheng and Wu Chuang. The young instructor with glasses, who was a few meters away from Wu Chuang, frequently looked sideways at Tang Cheng, Tang Cheng's age looked younger than him, and he didn't understand how such a guy who was younger than himself could become the captain and company commander.
"Although there is only one squad of Japanese soldiers and half a company of the Imperial Association Army in Huandiqiao Town, there are only more than 30 people in our people, and it may not be easy for people to deal with the Japanese puppet army in Huandiqiao Town." Knowing that Tang Cheng went into the mountains to find his people in order to return the Japanese puppet army in Diqiao Town, Wu Chuang was taken aback at first, and then tried to persuade Tang Cheng to dispel this idea in a tactful tone. Wu Chuang's body does not lack the bloody nature to dare to fight against the Japanese army, but their number is indeed too small, and it is still tactful to say that it is not easy to fight the enemy.
"Squad Leader Wu, you didn't understand what I meant." Without waiting for Wu Chuang to finish speaking, Tang Cheng laughed, "We really can't fight the Japanese puppet army with this manpower, and besides, I didn't say that I want to fight against them." There are at least three suitable places for ambushes outside Huandiqiao Town, as long as we lure the Japanese puppet army out of the town, do you think we have a chance to ambush them? ”
Wu Chuang is not a local, how would he know what terrain is suitable for ambush outside Huandiqiao Town, hearing Tang Cheng say this, Wu Chuang pondered. "Think about your few wounded who are already unconscious, if you can't find medicine and doctors to treat them in time, their chances of surviving are very small." Seeing that Wu Chuang was already a little moved, Tang Cheng added another fire, he had already seen that this Wu Chuang was a responsible person, otherwise he would not have willingly stayed here and slept in the wild.
"Chief Tang is so eloquent and scheming, and Squad Leader Wu who said it in just a few words is going to die for you." Tang Cheng waited for Wu Chuang to make his final choice, but he didn't want a voice from his side. Turning his head, he saw a young man with a pair of glasses standing beside him, and the sentence he had just said was obviously what he said. Seeing Tang Cheng looking at him, the young man with glasses bared his teeth and was happy, "My name is Tan Fei, my companion and I don't eat military rations, you can drag Squad Leader Wu and them to death, but you can't force us." ”
Tang Cheng followed his line of sight and glanced at the silent man who was sitting by the bonfire, and couldn't help frowning, Wu Chuang had an intention to say, Tang Cheng's heart was still a little complacent, and suddenly such a person appeared, Tang Cheng's mood instantly deteriorated to the extreme. Seeing Tang Cheng's face darkened, Tan Fei's eyes narrowed, what he said just now was indeed a bit reckless, but in order for Wu Chuang not to make a confused decision, he couldn't care about that much, looking at the kid's face, I'm afraid this matter will not be easy to do.
"If everyone is like you, then what is the use of the country, if everyone is like you, if everyone is as afraid of war as you, I am afraid that driving the Japanese out of China can only be an empty word. I didn't say that I was going to drag you to death, what is the purpose of you jumping out in such a hurry? Could it be that you are a spy for the Japanese? The big hat that Tang Cheng threw out was not small, Tan Fei's face immediately changed, and he had already seen two people's guns pointed at his side.
Play with me, I'm afraid you're still a little tender, Tang Cheng laughed wildly in his heart, and poured dirty water on people with stumbling blocks, which was Tang Cheng's trick he learned in Beiping City. Many famous people in the rivers and lakes have been defeated in this, Tan Fei is just a weak man who has never fought a war, and he can withstand Tang Cheng's desire to add crimes. "Don't come to wronged me, I am an innocent Chinese, how can I go back and be a dog leg for the Japanese." Tan Fei stretched out his hand and pointed at Tang Cheng and shouted, but the corner of his eye was paying attention to Liu Shishi and Hou San who had already stood up.
"I was talking to squad leader Wu about fighting devils, since you are not a Japanese spy, why did you come to stop this? I didn't even say anything about my plans, how do you know I'm going to drag them to death? If you can't give me a reasonable explanation today, I don't know if you are Chinese with this gun. As he spoke, Tang Cheng pulled out a shell gun from the holster on his waist, and under the cover of the bonfire, the roasted blue on the body of the gun was dazzling.
Not only was he sure in his heart but he also saw that Tang Cheng didn't have the heart to kill him, Tan Fei smiled and took a few steps back and sat down next to the silent man, and kept muttering, "Anyway, you can't force me to die, I'm not your soldier, and you don't have the authority to order me." This product is a piece of hob meat stained with oil, and Tang Cheng, who was a little helpless, motioned to Liu Shishi and Hou San to put away the gun, and he himself put the shell gun in his hand back into the holster.
Wu Chuang, who has been in the army for many years, is not a fool, so Tan Fei's words naturally can't be believed, but he can't completely believe Tang Cheng's words, although the 88th Division is also a unit of the national army, but he has never dealt with Tang Cheng before, Wu Chuang still has some vigilance in his heart. "Promise him, we'll go and return Diqiao Town." Qian Erxi, who had been unconscious, didn't know when he woke up, maybe he heard a lot of the conversation between Tang Cheng and Wu Chuang just now, and when Wu Chuang hesitated, Qian Erxi spoke.
Qian Erxi's military rank is higher than Wu Chuang's, and he is still Wu Chuang's old superior, he opened his mouth, and Wu Chuang naturally had no choice. "Chief Tang, we all met along the way, although we are not from the same army, but we have always traveled all the way for such a long time, in order not to let the brothers be frightened, do you want to tell us about your plan first." Qian Erxi knew what it meant to agree to Tang Cheng, so he wanted to understand the plan made by Tang Cheng, and he couldn't just rush to Huandiqiao Town.
Tang Cheng had mentioned to Wu Chuang before that there was terrain outside Huandiqiao Town to carry out an ambush, so his plan was to use the terrain to ambush the Japanese puppet army in Huandiqiao Town. "Your people set up an ambush here, I will go with my people to lure the Japanese puppet army out of the town, as long as they enter the ambush circle, we will fight hard, 2 light machine guns and 2 grenadiers, it is impossible to destroy them all, it should not be a problem to kill 30% of their troops." Tang Cheng opened the map of the Japanese army and pointed out a few locations on the location of Huandiqiao Town.
"I have people under my command who are familiar with this terrain, and there are several terrains from Huandiqiao Town that are suitable for ambushes. Let's ambush them here now, and then move in the direction of Huandiqiao Town, and when the Japanese puppet army returns in the air, let's fight them again, according to my inference, it will not be a problem to kill half of them in two ambushes. Tang Cheng's conclusion was the result of more than a dozen deductions, so he was confident about it.
"What about the other half of them? Could it be that we still want to storm the town with the remaining half of the little devils? The more than 30 people sitting around the bonfire had obviously thought of this question, but no one asked it, only the Tan Fei just now. Seeing Liu Shishi staring at him, Tan Fei deliberately snorted with disdain, and the angry Liu Shishi was about to pull out his gun and get up, but he was held down by the old northeast next to him.
"Boy, if you want to provoke trouble, you have to choose the right one, although the age of the stone is younger than you, but there are a few more devils to kill than the average national army soldier, if you bare your teeth again next time, be careful that Lao Tzu pulls out your teeth." Lao Dongbei pointed at Tan Fei and scolded, and he was very upset for Liu Shi, and Tang Cheng, who was looking at it, looked sideways again and again. Seeing that Tan Fei and Liu Shishi glared at each other like cockfighters, Tang Cheng could only pretend not to see it, took the map and called Lao Dongbei and Wu Chuang to discuss the plan elsewhere.
"I also think we can give it a try, as long as we don't love to fight, and we can retreat from the first ambush point to the second ambush point in time, this battle will be fought." Knowing that Tang Cheng had seized a large number of weapons and ammunition and had nowhere to use them, Qian Erxi, who had recovered a little, was full of joy on his face. As long as the weapons and ammunition can keep up, it is not impossible for more than 30 of them to ambush a squad of Japanese soldiers, and as for the Imperial Cooperative Army, it has been completely forgotten by Qian Erxi.
