Chapter 116: Return to Tianpu Village

"You said you had nothing to do with him, but we finally came over there, and then we filled our stomachs, and we have to go back again, and I don't know what you think in your head." Lao Dongbei, who was squatting by the river, was smoking and muttering quietly, Tang Cheng, who was squatting next to him, was already as black as the bottom of a pot, but Tang Cheng still endured Lao Dongeast's nagging and did not get angry.

Tang Cheng didn't answer his words, and the old northeast who was holding back the fire in his stomach naturally didn't want to continue, and glanced at Zhang Leshan, who was talking to his officers, Tang Cheng said in a low voice, "I think it's a mess in your head, the gang of people surnamed Zhang have already put the bullets on fire, if I don't agree, can we get out of that yard?" Tang Cheng's rhetorical question made Lao Dongbei break out in a cold sweat, and if he thought about it carefully, it was indeed like that at that time.

"Hehe, I'm not fainting from hunger, even if I blame you." Old Northeast's insincere apology made Tang Cheng pout, if he was really angry with this guy, it would be strange if he didn't vomit blood in anger. "You still have injuries on your back, or I'll take them across the river this time, and you will take the stones to recuperate." Old Northeast's words made Tang Cheng laugh angrily, this guy's tone obviously didn't mean this, and he just wanted to make a face that cared about himself, but he didn't see that a reckless man like Old Northeast was cunning before.

"Company Commander Tang, I have already told my subordinates, after crossing the river, they will obey your command, don't worry too much about the loot, the first time you cross the river, you can take them to fight with the little devils, so that they can really see what the battlefield is like." After explaining his officers, Zhang Leshan walked to Tang Cheng's side. Tang Cheng turned his head to look at the 100 Sichuan soldiers who were already standing by the river and ready to get on the boat, nodded at Zhang Leshan, and then got up and walked towards the ferry with Lao Dongbei.

Tang Cheng Dayang crossed the river with the people of the Sichuan army, and Liu Shi naturally wanted to follow, so Tang Cheng used the injury of the dice to recuperate, and left Liu Shi and the others in Longgang Town, and he only crossed the river with Lao Northeast alone this time. The location of crossing the river is still the position where Wu Laosan sent them ashore yesterday, and crossing the Fushui River from here is not the most turbulent section of the riverbed, in order to transport this team of 100 people across the river, more than a dozen wooden boats found by Zhang Leshan need to turn back and forth twice.

Lao Dongbei has crossed the river with the first batch of Sichuan soldiers, and Tang Cheng left behind to lead the second group of soldiers across the river, "Commander Zhang, let's talk about it first, seeing the signal from the other side of our son, these boats must cross the river immediately to meet us, otherwise it may be the end of the entire army." Before getting on the boat, Tang Cheng repeatedly told Zhang Leshan, knowing that the other party patted his chest and made a guarantee, Tang Cheng stepped on the ship.

As when he came, crossing the river was a very boring thing, and during the whole process of crossing the river, Tang Cheng, who was standing at the bow of the boat, did not say a word, and when all the 100 soldiers sent by Zhang Leshan crossed the river, Tang Cheng spoke. "I'm not from your Sichuan army, but as early as last year's Songhu battlefield, I had dealings with your Sichuan army. The weapons and equipment of the Sichuan army are very poor, but the people of the Sichuan army can fight and dare to fight tough battles. Tang Cheng admired the Sichuan army so much that these Sichuan soldiers who crossed the river had a smile on their faces, but Tang Cheng suddenly changed his words.

"Since you have crossed the river, according to what I and your head Zhang said in advance, you must obey my command. I have no other ability, nothing more than a ruthless word, cruel to my enemies, and cruel to my own people who violate military orders, if any of you are not willing to listen to my command, you can take a boat back now, I promise not to blame you. Tang Cheng looked around at the Sichuan soldiers standing in front of him, and suddenly found that the sergeant who stopped him in Longgang Town yesterday was actually in the queue.

After looking around in the crowd, Tang Cheng didn't see any officers, maybe Zhang Leshan was afraid that the officers under him would not listen to him. Stretching out his hand and pointing at the sergeant who had intercepted him, Tang Cheng called him out of the ranks, "I don't know all of you, so I have to pick out someone who has met a few times to serve as your captain temporarily." Every command I give you will pass through him. The sergeant who was called out of the queue by Tang Cheng was quite surprised, and he didn't know how he became the chain captain of these robes.

Of course, not all of them were willing to listen to Tang Cheng's nonsense, and some people were not very satisfied with the temporary captain selected by Tang Cheng, and before Tang Cheng asked the sergeant's name, there were already people in the queue talking about it. Tang Cheng listened carefully, all of them were talking about what virtue this sergeant surnamed Wang had and how he could be a temporary captain, and the old Northeast who was holding a light machine gun came over at this time and laughed quietly, "These goods are all fucking rags, and they are still in the nest, no wonder the Ministry of Military Affairs looks down on these Sichuan troops." ”

"Alright, you don't follow the mess anymore, take them to fight with the devil's small force a few times, and then there will be nothing for us to do. Let's go to Tianpu Village first to find that Wu Laosan, that guy is a local, and he should be more familiar with the surrounding terrain than us. Tang Cheng snatched the cigarette that Lao Dongbei had just taken out of his pocket and put it in his jacket pocket, and ordered the 100 Sichuan soldiers to divide into two, and he and Lao Dongbei each led a team of people to march towards Tianpu Village at a distance of 100 meters.

Wu Laosan was taught a hard lesson by Tang Cheng at the entrance of the village, and was forced to personally send Tang Cheng and them across the Fushui River, which would be at home to recuperate, and suddenly heard that someone broke into his yard, and Wu Laosan, who was furious, carried his long knife out of the house, but was shocked by Tang Cheng, who looked at him, and immediately softened at the door of the house. "Master Jun, didn't I just send you across the river? Why is this coming back? Wu Laosan was a little afraid to look at Tang Cheng, but this military master was still followed by a large group of soldiers in Wu Yang.

"Wu Laosan, last time my people beat you, this will give you a chance to make money, you get up and talk first." Tang Cheng sat down in the courtyard of Wu Laosan's house, and Wu Laosan, who came back to his senses, got up from the ground crookedly. "You're a local, you should be very familiar with the terrain in this area, I need a local to be my guide, if you can tell me or help me find some news of the Japanese army, it would be even better."

"Master Jun, although I, Wu Laosan, am not a good person, but I am not a traitor." Wu Laosan was immediately anxious when he heard this, and jumped up from the stool to reason with Tang Cheng, but he was silent after only half of the words. Because Tang Cheng took out a stack of oceans from his pocket, and in front of Wu Laosan, he was stacking them one by one on the stone mill in the courtyard of Wu Laosan's house. Wu Laosan's entire attention was attracted by those oceans, where could he still care about theorizing with Tang Cheng.

"Here are 6 oceans, 2 are the cost of you as a guide for me, and the remaining 4 oceans, you just need to tell me where there are Japanese troops around here, and I will add a piece of ocean to you." Tang Cheng said slowly, stretched out his hand to take the barge gun handed by Lao Dongbei and slapped it on the stone mill. "Wu Laosan, we are a national army that specializes in killing devils, and we can temporarily recruit new recruits to join the army, do you want to be just a guide or follow me as a soldier to eat food? You have to think about it. ”

For the sake of his own life, Wu Laosan didn't dare to be a guide for Tang Cheng, but Tang Cheng had already shot out the gun, so he couldn't help but refuse. There is no way to refuse left and right, Wu Laosan simply grabbed three pieces of ocean from the stone mill and held them tightly in his hand, "I have a brother from Zhoujiawan, saying that a few days ago I saw a little devil appear around Lijiashan, and the number of people looks like there can be more than 100, but there is no big car, it seems to say that the little devil is still ping pong on Lijiashan's side for a while, and then I don't know." ”

Tang Cheng took out his own map, and found the location of Zhoujiawan along Tianpu Village to the east, and took that Lijiashan was only three or four miles away from Zhoujiawan, and Zhoujiawan was only a dozen miles away from Tianpu Village. "Ready, let's go to Zhoujiawan immediately." Tang Cheng secretly calculated some distance and time, and finally decided to go to Zhoujiawan for a trip, if the Japanese troops who appeared in Lijiashan were still there, then hit them, and in the case of the two sides being basically equal in strength, it may not be impossible to fight the ambush of the Japanese army.

Took Wu Laosan out of Tianpu Village, Tang Cheng also specially left a few Sichuan soldiers to monitor outside Tianpu Village, once they found that someone in Tianpu Village was going out, they would be immediately detained, if it was confirmed that it was a traitor who went to report to the Japanese army, he would cross the river and send it to the other side to be handed over to Zhang Leshan for disposal. "Master Jun, are we really going to fight the little devils?" Wu Laosan, who was taken out of Tianpu Village by Tang Cheng, asked questions all the way, if it weren't for the fact that this guy was really familiar with the surrounding terrain, Tang Cheng was ready to throw this word directly into the Fushui River to feed the fish.

More than ten miles is nothing to the people of the Sichuan army, when these guys went out of Sichuan to resist the war, they relied on a pair of feet to get out of Sichuan, but under the deliberate delay of Tang Cheng, the speed of their march was not very fast. "I now understand why you have to bring Wu Laosan, as long as there are enough manpower and firepower to ambush in these places, the Japanese army will not be able to please you." According to Wu Laosan's guidance, Tang Cheng found several suitable locations for ambushes along the way, and even Lao Dongbei couldn't help but praise him.

"These places are just to prevent the Japanese army from pursuing us, if we go to Zhoujiawan and Lijiashan, these places will not be used at all, but if our ambush fails and is pursued by the Japanese army, these places will become our last chance to resist." When Tang Cheng surveyed these places, he was not only surrounded by Lao Northeast, but more than a dozen veteran squad leaders of the Sichuan Army were also following him. Only a few of the dozen veteran squad leaders understood what Tang Cheng meant, and most of the Sichuan veterans thought that Tang Cheng was talking nonsense, and they had not found any trace of the Japanese army, so they were thinking about how to survive.
