Chapter 6 The rout of the army blocks the way
The sky was bright, the mountain road that had been difficult to walk was finally over, the carriage went up the avenue down the mountain, the kind of bumps and sways that made Tang Cheng want to die finally disappeared, and Tang Cheng on the carriage could finally breathe a sigh of relief. The five members of the Han family sat in a carriage, and the three of Tang Cheng took another carriage with the food prepared overnight, Tang Cheng originally wanted Lao Northeast to go to the Han family to catch the car, and a person wearing a military uniform and carrying a gun in the car could save some trouble. But Old Man Han showed his two shotguns and said that there was anyone who dared to rob the Han family so unsightly, seeing that Old Man Han was so persistent, Tang Cheng could only put aside his kindness for the time being.
There is only one avenue here in Yongxing Village, and if they want to cross the river, they must first go to the county seat, and then change the route from the county seat before they can make the trip, so the closer they get to the county seat, the more nervous the three Tang Cheng people on the carriage are. "Brother Han, if something really happens in a while, don't speak, look at my eyes and act every time, with our military uniforms and guns, the routs who block the road don't dare to do anything to us." Regarding Tang Cheng's advice, Han Shanhu agreed with his mouth.
The military uniforms on the three Tang Cheng were obviously cleaned, but the blood stains and scorched black marks on the military uniforms were still faintly visible, and the defeated soldiers with a little insight did not dare to stop them. For the sake of a little benefit, to provoke a guy like Tang Cheng and them with a murderous aura, it would be more than worth the loss, just the four shell guns on Tang Cheng and their bodies were enough for the rout soldiers to weigh carefully, as long as they were not confused, they would never dare to reach out to Tang Cheng and them.
There is no need to enter the city to change the route, just take a turn outside the county, there are still 2 miles away from Xishui County, and there have been sporadic routs and civilians on the road. Tang Cheng on the carriage was just a look, Lao Dongbei and Liu Shishi had already pulled the hammer of the shell gun on their waists and prepared to shoot immediately, Tang Cheng even carried the shell gun in his hand, and the muzzle of the black hole was always intentionally or unintentionally pointed at the defeated soldiers and people who were looking towards the carriage.
"Sister-in-law, Xiao Zhuo and Xiao Lian seem to be a little sleepy, you can coax them to sleep for a while, it's better to plug their ears with something, so that they can sleep soundly." Tang Cheng, who was walking in front, suddenly asked Lao Dongbei to stop the car, not only changed Lao Northeast to catch the car for the Han family, but also specially told Han Shanhu's daughter-in-law to coax the two children to sleep. The woman who didn't know where she was looking at her husband in a panic, and then moved her eyes to her father-in-law with a calm face, and when she saw the old man Han nodding, the panicked woman tore open the mattress covering Xiaolian's body, rubbed cotton balls with cotton, and softly coaxed her children to sleep with their eyes closed, and plugged their ears with cotton balls.
Ready to deal with it, the carriage continued on the road, and Old Man Han carefully wiped his shotgun with a rag, muttering to himself that there was a chance to give Tang Cheng a glimpse of his means. Tang Cheng put all his thoughts on how to cross the river, if his telescope was still in his hand, he could know the road ahead in advance, but his telescope had already fallen into the river that night, and Tang Cheng, who was worried about the road ahead, was a little irritable, thinking about where to get a telescope.
I don't know what Liu Shishi on the carriage said, the people in the two carriages laughed, only Tang Cheng was still looking up at the sky silently, until Liu Shishi reached out and shook his legs, Tang Cheng woke up from the world of groaning. "Company commander, there is a group of routs in front of me blocking the way, Lao Northeast passed, I looked at this guy in his hand as if he had a machine gun, and I saw an officer just now." Tang Cheng sat up from the carriage and listened to Liu Shishi's chatter and looked ahead.
Dozens of meters away from the carriage, dozens of guys in variegated military uniforms were squatting on the avenue, and Tang Cheng almost laughed out loud after just one glance. Liu Shi said that these guys are routs, they all look down on them, if Liu Goat is here, he will definitely say that the guys blocking the road in front are bandits and bandits, and the national army is no matter how bad it is, and the rout of the national army will not be this virtue. Tang Cheng on the carriage squinted and counted the approximate number of the other party, and counted it twice before Tang Cheng determined that the number of the other party was about 50 people.
Tang Cheng didn't see the machine gun that Liu Shi said, the weapon he saw was the rifle in the hands of those guys, Hanyang was already good, those guys still had rifles in their hands that Tang Cheng didn't know, and even Tang Cheng saw the same bird gun in one of the hands of Old Man Han in his car. "I asked clearly, these guys are all from the Guangji Garrison Regiment, and they were withdrawn from Guangji, and they said that the Japanese army was beating Bahe Town." After waiting for a while, the black-faced old Northeast came back, and what he brought back was obviously not good news.
It seems that their inference is correct, the Japanese army will not turn a deaf ear to Xishui County, and taking Bahe Town is only their first step, and the next step is to attack Xishui County. Tang Cheng didn't think about going over to find the national army troops stationed in Xishui County, the second company is the unit of the 88th Division, and it is the descendant of the national army, what is the situation if you run to a second-rate or third-rate army casually, Liu Goat's arrogance instilled in Tang Cheng is obviously out at this time, even if he runs across the river as a rout, Tang Cheng will not casually join other national army troops, that is disrespectful to Xie Bo and Liu Goat, as well as those who died in the second company.
After listening to the news brought back by Lao Dongbei, Tang Cheng glanced at the group of routed soldiers who were still gathered on the avenue, and asked in a deep voice, "They don't want to give way?" Or do you want us to leave something behind? "Tang Cheng has also done things to set up cards to block the road, so he is naturally very familiar with these routines, and the defeated soldiers are nothing more than trying to get some money and food, and then find an opportunity to find a way to live. Tang Cheng was no stranger to the rout, and the two reconstructions of the Second Company were mainly based on recruiting the defeated soldiers, otherwise the Second Company would not have the record of defeating the Japanese army in Macheng and Xiaojieling.
"Grandma, they are all deflated calves, and they dare to ask Lao Tzu for things, and they don't see if Lao Tzu's guns are powerful or their heads are powerful." Lao Dongbei's voice suddenly became high-pitched, and the woman who was coaxing the two children to sleep couldn't help but look at Lao Dongbei with twinkling eyes. "I was just going to ask them to change a few grenades, these deflated calves have ammunition on them, but they don't dare to fight against the little devils, I'm so fucking angry, I deserve to lose Guangji."
"Forget it, more is better than less, our main thing now is to cross the river as much as possible and send Uncle Han's family to a safe place, you just get more ammunition, there are only three of us, it's enough." Tang Cheng thought for a moment and interrupted Old Northeast's words. When they went to the county seat last night to buy a carriage, they had already spent money to get back a dozen grenades and more than 200 shell gun bullets, although the rifle bullets were less, but they were enough for Tang Cheng to deal with emergencies, and Tang Cheng needed time instead of ammunition now.
The carriage continued on the road, and this time even Liu Shishi jumped off the carriage, carrying a shell gun to protect Uncle Han and their carriage. "Brother Han, don't be nervous, with us here, they don't dare to do anything." Looking at the defeated soldiers who were sitting or squatting looking at him, Han Shanhu's heart kept beating the drum, and even the movement of walking stiffened, Tang Cheng had to whisper, hoping that the tension in Han Shanhu's heart would dissipate some.
"What part is the sir? It looks a little raw. "When the carriage reached the middle of the rout, it was finally stopped. If it was only Tang Cheng and the three of them in the carriage, it would be good to say, but Tang Cheng and they were still protecting the family and the people, and the routs who blocked the road were not happy, and the confused man immediately reached out to stop Han Shanhu who was walking in front of the car. Han Shanhu, who was stopped by the rout, did not dare to move, so he could only loosen the reins of the horse and slowly retreat back according to Tang Cheng's instructions, until he retreated to Tang Cheng's side.
As soon as Han Shanhu retreated like this, the defeated soldiers on the avenue naturally fell on Tang Cheng on the carriage, and after just one glance, most of the defeated soldiers were stunned, because Tang Cheng's military uniform collar was pinned with the rank of a captain. "Are there any officers among you? Tell your officers to come out and speak. "Lao Dongbei said that there is a second lieutenant and a lieutenant in this group of routs, and in terms of military rank, Tang Cheng is higher than their military rank, so Tang Cheng is still sitting in the carriage when he speaks, and he has no intention of getting off the carriage at all.
Listening to Tang Cheng's voice that seemed to be squeezed out of his nose, the rout soldiers blocking the road subconsciously wanted to retreat, he was just a big soldier, and he couldn't afford to mess with the officers. "Brothers, don't listen to this boy's nonsense, have any of you ever seen a captain as old as him? If you want me to say, this kid is a fake, ignore him, rob his mother. A sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked fellow mixed in with the crowd shouted loudly and stretched out his hand to rush to the carriage, seeing that the posture was about to drag Tang Cheng off the carriage and beat him violently.
The old man Han in the carriage behind wanted to get his shotgun, but was stopped by Liu Shishi, who was standing by the carriage, "Old man, don't worry, the show has just begun, how can you do it if you don't finish watching it." Liu Shishi's seemingly relaxed words failed to dispel the tension and panic in Old Man Han's heart, but at this moment, there was a "pop" of gunshots, and Old Man Han on the carriage subconsciously pounced on a pair of sleeping grandchildren. Naturally, it was Tang Cheng who was sitting idly in the carriage that fired the shot, Tang Cheng in the carriage was holding a gun in one hand, and the rout who wanted to drag Tang Cheng had already raised his hands and stood stupidly by the carriage.
The shell gun in Tang Cheng's hand swung its muzzle back and forth at the other routs, intentionally or unintentionally, and the routs he pointed at with the muzzle all took a step back. The defeated soldier who raised his hands was now crying, and the shot fired by Tang Cheng directly drilled a hole in his soft military hat, and if the bullet went down a little more, his head would become a rotten persimmon.
"I see which of you dares to move, and if you are not afraid of death, come up and try it." Seeing that Tang Cheng had already fired, he threw the shell gun to Liu Shishi on the side of the carriage, and Lao Dongbei rushed into the crowd with two grenades that had been unscrewed on the back cover. The routs who tried to block the road were even more dumbfounded, what kind of people are these three, can they be so fatal?
