Chapter 33: Imprisonment

Letting Sun Liansheng's soldiers take away their shell guns, Tang Cheng looked up at Sun Liansheng on horseback triumphantly, "Company Commander Sun, you are also a captain of the national army, am I from the 88th Division, I have already reported to the Fifth Theater Commander's Department when I was in Mengcheng, you can check it. I'm just a small lieutenant, and I can't use this method to fix me, and I'm not a roadblock for you. ”

The disdain in Tang Cheng's eyes made Sun Liansheng very annoyed, and he didn't bother to listen carefully to what Tang Cheng said, but just ordered his soldiers to take Tang Cheng away. Sun Liansheng's target was only Tang Cheng, as for the nine catties, they were not in his consideration at all, and the panicked Liu Shishi could only ride to the Huang family to ask for help after Tang Cheng was captured by Sun Liansheng, and the Huang couple couldn't figure out what Sun Liansheng wanted to do when he captured Tang Cheng.

"What else can you do for it, isn't it just his plan? Arrest me in prison first, and then the Japanese machine gun I gave you in the garrison regiment will not be clear, and I am afraid that your position as the commander of the garrison regiment will not be kept because of this, he is a member of the 71st Army, and he has this right. When Huang Hanju saw Tang Cheng again, he was in the prison in Macheng, Sun Liansheng did not embarrass Tang Cheng, the single cell still had beds and covers, but the insects, ants and rats that appeared from time to time in the dark and damp cell made Mrs. Huang who came very uncomfortable.

"Brother, bear with me first, I will definitely be able to get you out, your sister-in-law's family has some connections in Wuhan, I have already sent someone to Wuhan to deliver the letter, but I may first wronged you to stay here for a few days now." Huang Hanju, who had already regarded Tang Cheng as his own person, had a strong friendship in his words, and he was going to leave for Wuhan today, but he delayed for Tang Cheng and did not get Tang Cheng out of prison, and Huang Hanju was not at ease when he left.

"I'm not in a hurry, Sun Liansheng is fighting the idea of the position of the head of your garrison regiment, and arresting me is just to force you to make a statement." Tang Cheng shook his head slowly, "Although your Macheng garrison is developing well and seems to be getting more and more prosperous, it has a fatal flaw, do you know what the Dao is?" Seeing Tang Cheng say so seriously, Huang Hanju also had a serious expression, before Sun Liansheng did not appear, Huang Hanju had indeed regarded the garrison regiment as his own, Tang Cheng said that the garrison regiment was flawed, Huang Hanju couldn't help but look at Tang Cheng with a fixed mind.

"Although the number of your garrison has exceeded 500, their weapons are not uniform, and the rifles alone are made of Mauser, Hanyang and Old Sleeve, and the bullets you need to prepare will be more troublesome. The garrison regiment has a large number of people, but it has few heavy weapons, plus that Japanese-style machine gun, your garrison regiment only has three light machine guns, and this kind of firepower is at most at the company level in the national army. ”

"But that's not the biggest problem with the garrison." Tang Cheng squinted at Huang Han and raised his eyes, and even Madam Huang was waiting intently for Tang Cheng to go down at this time, "The source of troops in your garrison is too complicated, and the combat effectiveness of those defeated soldiers is certainly higher than that of the recruits you recruited locally, but many of them are old fritters who have mixed with too many troops. You, the commander of the garrison regiment, were bought with money, and you have no experience in leading troops to fight, it is difficult to win the convincing of those defeated soldiers, this is the hard wound of the garrison regiment, as long as Sun Liansheng talks about the 71st Army, those defeated soldiers will definitely follow him. ”

"No, what's the good thing about following the surname Sun, I'm not bad for those defeated soldiers, and the monthly salary has never been worse than theirs." Huang Hanju naturally disagreed with Tang Cheng's statement. In his mind, he should not be bad at the defeat of the national army recruited into the garrison regiment, and he was paid military salaries by issuing military uniforms and military shoes, and he heard that some national army troops had no military salaries for soldiers for a long time, compared with them, Huang Hanju felt that he had done a good job.

"Brother Huang, you think about it again, after suppressing the horse bandits, I thought about it carefully, and found that although the garrison regiment is developing very rapidly, and the reputation in Macheng is not bad, but it is like a rootless duckweed, it seems to be powerful, but if there is any wind or grass, or it is hit hard, the garrison regiment that seems to be powerful now will collapse instantly like a fortress on the beach encountering the sea." You're right. Huang Hanju also nodded in agreement, now the development of the garrison regiment is all based on the full support of his Huang family, if something goes wrong with the Huang family, the reserve tire will be back to the prototype in an instant, which is by no means what Huang Hanju is willing to see. But the Huang family's flaw is that Huang Hanju has no experience in leading troops to fight, nor does he have the means to play tricks, but Sun Liansheng has already made the Huang family disgraced and tired to deal with, if Sun Liansheng's uncle comes, the Huang family still doesn't know that Lu Dao will be like this.

"Duckweed can live without roots, and it can live very well, but the garrison regiment is not duckweed, and without the support of the Huang family, the garrison regiment can be regarded as a militia at most. Sun Liansheng is different, he has the 71st Army behind him, as long as he uses a little means, the Macheng garrison will be incorporated into a regular army by the 71st Army, and there is no shortage of weapons, ammunition, materials, and experienced officers. Compared with the Huang family, the 71st Army seems to be more convincing, the enemy is current, the 71st Army only needs an official letter, and you, the commander of the garrison regiment, must let Xian. After listening to Tang Cheng's words, Huang Hanju's expression became a little lonely, and Mrs. Huang, who was sitting next to him, reached out to hold her man's palm, and encouraged her man in her own way. When he came back from spending money to buy the position of head of the garrison regiment, he sought a foothold just to protect the Huang family, after all, in this era of war and chaos, only with a gun in his hand can he have the capital to protect his family.

As the garrison regiment went around suppressing bandits, his local fame in Macheng increased, but Huang Hanju found that his situation was becoming more and more worrisome, and the central army around Macheng did not want to see him, and even some people in Macheng pointed fingers at the Huang family and the garrison. After capturing alive the two Japanese spies at the Lukfook Tavern, Huang Hanju, who sent the captives to Wuhan, once again verified the feeling of not being seen, and a small local garrison regiment was able to capture the Japanese spies alive and seize the radio station, which made the regular soldiers who shouted and shouted all day long where they were.

After listening to Tang Cheng's words and recalling these things that were not far away, Huang Hanju had some understanding in his heart, so it is not difficult to explain that Sun Liansheng entered Macheng as the vanguard of the 71st Army. No wonder Sun Liansheng poured dirty water on the Huang family so arrogantly, even if he was speechless by Huang Hanju in front of everyone, he was still arrogant, it turned out that all these things Sun Liansheng did were from the mastermind of the 71st Army. There is the 71st Army behind him, so Sun Liansheng doesn't care if Huang Hanju exposes his old bottom, and the key people are not afraid of things at all.

Seeing Huang Hanju's eyes cold, Tang Cheng smiled and tore open the cigarette case, took out a cigarette and lit it, "Brother Huang, you finally figured it out, in fact, things are so simple, it doesn't have much to do with whether Sun Liansheng catches me or not, at most he is venting his personal anger." But you have to be careful, if you want me to say, you are indeed not the material to lead troops to fight, it is better to give up the position of regiment commander, so as to get some useful resources and materials for the Huang family from the 71st Army. "The garrison can't be saved, what do I want those weapons and ammunition for?" Huang Hanju didn't come back to his senses for a while, he thought that what Tang Cheng said about fighting for resources was to ask the 71st Army for weapons and ammunition. Tang Cheng was embarrassed by Huang Hanju's rhetorical question, and showed a smile to Mrs. Huang, who also looked inquiring, Tang Cheng took out a cigarette and handed it to Huang Hanju, who was a little angry.

"There are also factions in the army, although I don't know which faction this 71st Army is, but if you exchange the garrison regiment with them, you will definitely get more benefits than if you are the commander of the garrison regiment. Thinking about the Huang family, I don't think it's a bad thing for you to take off this military uniform and become a rich man, at least so that the family will not have to suffer from the invasion of war. Tang Cheng dipped his fingers in the tea and wrote two words "Yunnan" and "Sichuan" on the table, and after Huang Hanju saw it clearly, he erased the handwriting with his hands.

"I don't dare to guarantee that these two places will not be attacked by the Japanese army, but I believe that the government will definitely guarantee that they will not be broken by the Japanese army, otherwise China will be destroyed. Brother Huang, the Japanese army is about to attack, so you have to plan early, and when the Japanese army comes, it will be too late. Mrs. Huang, who had not spoken, lowered her head and considered what Tang Cheng had just said, she also agreed with the family going south, but now she had to look at Huang Hanju's opinion to make a decision.

"Listen up, this is my brother Huang Hanju, a man who fought to the death with the Japanese in Shanghai and Nanjing, if I know that you have embarrassed my brother, Baishuitan in the east of the city is your most refuge home." The few big prison guards gathered by Huang Han did not dare to come out, and there was a stack of banknotes and a handful of bullets in front of them. This is the choice given to them by Huang Hanju, the choice of banknotes is the friend of the Huang family, and the choice of bullets is the enemy of the Huang family.

"Brother, let's go first, bear with it for a few days, and as soon as the people I sent to Wuhan come back, they will be able to get you out." After admonishing the prison guards, Huang Hanju hurriedly left with Mrs. Huang, who looked a little sluggish, and before leaving, Huang Hanju repeatedly said that he would take care of Liu Shishi and them. took the money given by the Huang family, and the prison guards immediately changed Tang Cheng to a clean cell, and also replaced Tang Cheng with a new cover, and even Tang Cheng ate a big bowl of sesame oil and green onion noodles from Macheng. There was no interrogation, no torture, except that he couldn't leave his cell and couldn't meet Liu Shishi, Tang Cheng was completely free.
