The destruction of the two tanks was just a small episode, maybe it might not even be a small episode, Tang Cheng and they rushed to Guanghuamen according to the order, the teaching corps had already mobilized more troops from other places, including a national army tank that was exactly the same as the tank destroyed by the Japanese aerial bomb just now. The movement of the tank when it drove through the city gate was not small, the shaking of the ground made Tang Cheng feel uneasy, he subconsciously looked up at the sky, Tang Cheng was afraid that a few more Japanese fighters would come out of the sky, if that was the case, the national tank in front of him might not be able to save it.

Fortunately, Tang Cheng didn't find anything unusual from the sky, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and the powerful national army tank drove out of the city gate, and Liu Goat, who had disappeared for a while with the herald of the second regiment, also came back with a black face, and the people of the second company immediately surrounded him. "Dog's day didn't take our 88th Division seriously, and actually asked our second company to go out of the city to ambush the scout soldiers of the Japanese army." Liu Goat took off the steel helmet on his head, squatted on the side of the city wall and smoked a cigarette.

"What do you say? It's earth-shattering outside, and there are only 12 people left in our second company, so what can we do if 12 people are released out of the city? Zhou Fu, who was crowded into the crowd, shouted angrily. Tang Cheng originally wanted to persuade a few words, but after turning his face and seeing clearly who the three people who came with Liu Goat were, Tang Cheng, who was bitter in his mouth, couldn't say anything, and the three of them who came with Liu Goat were Jiujin, Nian Zi and Zhang Chuang, who were left in the ambulance station by the second company last time.

"The injury hasn't healed yet, what are you three running out of here for?" Zhou Fu also found the three of them, and they had to recuperate for a hundred days after the injuries were broken, and they all suffered gunshot wounds, and they didn't think they could heal in a month or two, so it was only a few days, and these three uneasy ones ran out. The mill is a man of few words, and Jiujin is also a gourd with a sawed mouth, only Zhang Chuang can still hum a few words to Zhou Fu, but it seems that they don't mean that they want to leave the ambulance station.

"Don't ask nonsense, as long as the injuries in the ambulance station are not serious, they will be driven out and rebuilt, and the hospitals and ambulance stations in the entire city of Nanjing are like this, if the three of them don't come back, they will be directly executed by the gendarmes as deserters." Liu Goat's answer was with a hint of coldness, which made Tang Cheng involuntarily shrink his neck. Liu Shanyang told him last time that he could be a deserter when necessary, Tang Cheng had always kept it in mind, and he thought that this opportunity would be taken to nine catties, but now it seems that this method may not work, I heard that the gendarmes are very powerful.

"Let's go, let's find a place to fill our stomachs first, and I can't be a starving ghost." Throwing away the cigarette butt in his hand, Liu Goat got up and walked towards the crowded city wall with his Mauser rifle, and the men of the second company immediately followed. Bypassing a few piles of masonry and bomb craters, Tang Cheng saw two trolleys, one containing two huge wooden barrels, and the other cart didn't know what means Lu Dao used, there was actually a large iron pot on the cart, and the big iron pot was still steaming.

Several soldiers of the Nationalist Army, whose faces were as bleak as their uniforms, were chopping some wooden planks pulled out of the rubble with sapper shovels, and it seemed that there were still things boiling in the large iron pot on the cart, and the dry wood chopped by the sapper shovels was used to make pots. Somewhat unexpectedly, the soldiers chopping firewood were not surprised by the arrival of the second company, and they were puzzled, until they understood the situation, Tang Cheng planned to keep silent, anyway, Liu Goat and Zhou Fu were standing beside him.

After a while, several soldiers of the Nationalist army with baskets and aprons came from afar, the baskets made of tree strips were as dirty as their hands, but no one paid any attention to them, for everyone's eyes were focused on what was contained in the baskets. Potatoes that have grown up, cabbage gangs that are not too big, and a few eggs that are quite passable are the good goods in the basket that can make everyone salivate, and the others are some bean sprouts, onions and garlic and other scattered things.

Seeing the contents of the basket, Tang Cheng couldn't help but slide his throat and swallow his saliva, the last time Erlian had dinner was when he had just withdrawn into the city, that is, last night. It had been more than 12 hours before the water and rice had entered, and the people in the second company were all hungry, if it weren't for Liu Goat standing next to him, Tang Cheng would probably be the first to go up and snatch the piece of bacon. watched as the firehead soldier with an apron cut all the food in the basket into small pieces, and then threw it into the big iron pot to cook, and the people of the second company simply sat in a pile in front of the big iron pot and waited for the meal.

There was no oil, no condiments, all the fireheads had was some salt and a few dried chilies, even so, Tang Cheng and they were still very greedy to smell the heat coming out of the big iron pot, as if this was the most delicious delicacy in the world. "Everybody's got it, don't crowd it, it's all fucking waiting in line." The fierce firehead soldier shouted in turn with a big horse spoon, not caring at all whether Liu Goat was still an officer with the rank of major pinned to his collar, and directly pushed Liu Goat's hand to the barrel aside.

As Liu Goat guessed, the wooden barrel on the other cart was filled with flatbread, hot flatbread, and these firehead soldiers wrapped the pancakes in the wooden barrel layer by layer with coarse cloth, until the mixed vegetable soup in the big iron pot was cooked, and the pancakes in the wooden barrel were still hot. Although a complete pancake had to be divided equally between two people, and each person only had a spoonful of mixed vegetable soup with more water and less vegetables, it was still extremely happy in Tang Cheng's opinion. You must know that in the two days that they were in the front line, each person was only given two hard dry cakes that could kill people, not to mention mixed vegetable soup, and they couldn't even drink hot water.

Tang Cheng didn't know that the kind of cake that was as hard as a stone was specially baked to make it easier to keep it for as long as possible under harsh conditions, but to be honest, the taste of the dry cake was really not good. Looking at the mixed vegetable soup that was about to come out of the big iron pot, Tang Cheng, who was full of eagerness, like his companions around him, frequently looked at the cart with the big iron pot, hoping that those firehead soldiers could boil the mixed vegetable soup in the big pot as soon as possible, so that he could taste it earlier.

When there are many monks and few porridges, queuing is often the best way to solve the problem. Seeing that more and more soldiers joined the queue, the people of the second company were tightly connected together and occupied the front position of the entire queue. Seeing that there were more people waiting in line, the firehead soldiers who were already preparing to cook discussed for a while, and then moved out two cauldrons from behind a broken wall, and directly set up a three-legged shape with bricks and stones, piled up firewood and added water to boil, and vegetable leaves, potatoes and things similar to meat slices were added one after another, although the fragrance in the two pots had not yet wafted out, but this scene seemed to have made the hungry soldiers salivate.

A few minutes later, the cauldron in front of Tang Cheng and them finally began to cook, and the mixed vegetable soup was packed in a lunch box, and the result of the careful result was half a pancake handed by the firehead soldier, and Tang Cheng, who was satisfied, squatted on two stones with the same nine catties of the lunch box and enjoyed his meal. Different from Tang Cheng's small bites of slow food, Zhou Fu, who became more and more impatient, directly tore up the pancakes and soaked them into the vegetable soup, and after a few bites, he went to line up again with the lunch box, no one laughed at Zhou Fu, because everyone was hungry and knew what it was like to be hungry.

"The foreign woman in the hospital gave it to you." Tang Cheng took a small bite of the pancake on his fingers, and then chewed slowly to enjoy the taste of the food in his mouth, and was cold and scared by Jiujin throwing a peeled egg into his lunch box. Tang Cheng knew that the foreign woman who was talking about Jiujin was Sister Emma, but how could Sister Emma ask for nine catties to bring herself boiled eggs, Tang Cheng couldn't figure it out.

"One person and a half" Tang Cheng used a spoon to divide the eggs in the lunch box into two halves, gave half of them to Jiujin, and watched Jiujin eat the half of the egg into his mouth, Tang Cheng sat back on his stone with satisfaction and continued to enjoy his meal. The people of the second company were the first to eat a hot meal, and the 15 of them also sat together, and the guys who had not eaten in the queue stared at Tang Cheng with some ill will, but in a blink of an eye, they saw that everyone in the second company straddled a shell gun, and the guys who wanted to come over to grab the food immediately dispelled their thoughts, and they still lined up honestly in the queue.

Zhou Fu, who was the fastest, was fortunate to serve his second miscellaneous vegetable soup and pancakes, and the people of the second company began to follow Zhou Fu's example to continue to line up, but unfortunately there were more and more soldiers who came to hear the wind, and when it was their turn to Tang Cheng again, the miscellaneous vegetable soup in the three big iron pots was long gone, and the pancakes in the big wooden barrels were all distributed. "Yes, who told you not to follow Lao Tzu to do it, dumbfounded." Zhou Fu, who had a cigarette in his mouth, sat comfortably next to Liu Goat, rubbing his stomach beautifully, and kept talking to Tang Cheng and the others.

The people of the Second Company had hot food in their stomachs, and they all sat lazily together like Zhou Fu, enjoying the hard-won idle time, and all the people of the Second Company would deliberately not mention the new order given to them by Xie Chengrui. Including Liu Goat also squinted his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking, only Jiujin This energetic guy was still looking around, he couldn't figure out why he was just lying in that ambulance station for a few days, why there were so many fewer old faces in the second company.

"Let's get ready to go after resting, the regiment headquarters didn't just let us go out of the city, at least they also added some veterans to us." Hearing Liu Goat's voice, Tang Cheng, who was squinting, turned his head to look at his words. Xie Chengrui did add manpower to the second company, but it was not very many, Tang Cheng only saw 8, as for whether it was a veteran, it was really hard to say, because Tang Cheng saw a guy who was about the same age as himself among the 8 people who were walking over.
