Chapter 136: Return

How much supplies are needed to fill two trucks, Zhang Leshan can't answer this question before the boats on the Fushui River have docked. Regardless of the obstruction of Sun Guohua and others, Zhang Leshan pried open several boxes in one go, until he was sure that the weapons and ammunition in these boxes were all new, Zhang Leshan was happy like a dog's tail grass that was about to bloom immediately.

"Great, great, with these weapons and ammunition, Lao Tzu will be able to arm a company immediately, and the guys who shoot the division commander's ass will not drool." Every time he moved a box from the ship and went ashore, the smile on Zhang Leshan's face became thicker, completely ignoring the coldness on the faces of Sun Guohua and others, Zhang Leshan was already immersed in his own world and would talk to himself from time to time.

The life of the Sichuan army has always been very hard, there are not enough weapons and ammunition, there is no timely supply, they don't even have enough military uniforms to wear, many soldiers of the Sichuan army are still wearing single clothes, but now it is December. Tang Cheng brought people from Fushui and the other side of the river to get this batch of weapons and ammunition can be regarded as a great help to Zhang Leshan, not enough military uniforms, the big deal is to find some local tailors and home-made military uniforms, not enough to feed the soldiers to eat a meal, but if there are not enough weapons and ammunition, what will the Sichuan army do to fight with the Japanese army.

Zhang Leshan was already secretly calculating how many troops could be equipped with this batch of weapons and ammunition, but he ignored the Tangcheng message that Sun Guohua brought back, and Sun Guohua was in a hurry to send the two little guys to Longgang Town to Liu Shishi, so when they were chased by the Xiaolin affairs team in Tangcheng, Zhang Leshan was still guarding the Fushui River to calculate the weapons and ammunition that crossed the river. Sichuan has a lot of water, so there are also people who are good at boating among the dozen or so Sichuan soldiers under Tang Cheng, and several people take turns rowing boats, so that this wooden boat with a heavy load can cross the Fushui River in the shortest time to reach the opposite bank.

"Company Commander Tang, it's amazing, it's only been two days since you crossed the river, and you have got so many weapons back." When he saw Tang Cheng again, Zhang Leshan almost didn't recognize that the muddy guy in front of him was Tang Cheng. For people like Tang Cheng who can fight and can fight, Zhang Leshan is very happy to make friends, "Company Commander Tang, why don't you come to my regiment, what will I do for you as a battalion commander?" As long as you can continue to get back weapons and ammunition for me, as long as it is a matter of killing little devils in the future, you can make your own decisions without suing me. ”

Zhang Leshan looked at Tang Cheng who was washing his face without blinking, he was waiting for Tang Cheng's answer, taking such a person under his command was definitely the most correct thing he had ever done. Tang Cheng, who washed his face, didn't speak, just smiled at Zhang Leshan, what is the situation of the Sichuan army, most of the national army knows that Tang Cheng doesn't want to be pulled in by a force like the Sichuan army, how can he fight with the Japanese army when he lacks guns and ammunition, do you want to be defenseless cannon fodder?

Tang Cheng didn't answer but already showed his attitude, Zhang Leshan had no choice but to sigh secretly, but if you think about it carefully, it's right, how could someone from the 88th Division of the serious national army be willing to join the Sichuan army. Seeing that Zhang Leshan no longer mentioned this matter, Tang Cheng also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Commander Zhang, the 100 people who crossed the river this time were killed and wounded two-thirds, although we have also killed hundreds of devil soldiers, but the gap between your Sichuan army and the Japanese army is still very large, these weapons and ammunition can only ensure that you will not be defenseless in the face of the Japanese attack, but if you want to win the Japanese army, your soldiers still need to be trained on the battlefield." ”

Zhang Leshan didn't seem to understand the meaning of Tang Cheng's words, and then looked at Tang Cheng without blinking, waiting for Tang Cheng to continue to solve his doubts. Handing a cigarette to Zhang Leshan, Tang Cheng continued, "After I crossed the river, most of the Japanese troops I encountered were small units, and you can also divide your troops into pieces and cross the river in batches to find the Japanese army to exchange fire." As long as you survive three firefights, they're the elite you want, and you might be able to get more weapons and equipment. ”

Tang Cheng's words sounded completely demagogic to Zhang Leshan, although he also agreed with Tang Cheng's words, but he was only a small group leader, and there were only a few hundred people under his hands. If he dares to send his troops across the Fushui River according to Tang Cheng's proposal, I am afraid that when the time comes, he will not be able to wait for the guns of the Japanese army, and only those guys in the army who do not deal with him will be able to send him to the execution ground. Sending troops without authorization is a violation of military orders, and sending 100 troops across the river to reconnoiter the enemy's situation and sending an entire army across the river to engage in an exchange of fire with the enemy are also two different things, and the results obtained are naturally different.

Xu saw the struggle in Zhang Leshan's eyes, Tang Cheng lit a cigarette and took a puff, "I didn't say that you should send the entire regiment over, you can still choose a part of the soldiers under your command like this time, cross the river in batches according to the establishment of 100 people, and take turns to find the Japanese army to fight in a rotational way, even if your superiors ask about it, you can still use the excuse of crossing the river to reconnoiter the enemy's situation as an excuse to cover up the past, anyway, it is your troops who end up with the spoils of war." ”

"Let's go, let's go back to Longgang Town first, I have to think about this matter." When his soldiers hid the wooden boats, Zhang Leshan ordered to return to Longgang Town. Tang Cheng and their trip was a bumper harvest, the Japanese army alone got back as many as 100 rifles, two mortars and four light machine guns, as well as a large number of bullets and grenades, especially those canned meat made Zhang Leshan overjoyed, at least his soldiers would no longer eat only two meals of gruel a day.

"Commander Zhang, let's look at it, we have half of the loot this time, but you also saw how many things there are in this batch, so I don't plan to ask for so much, you just need to prepare enough shell bullets and grenades for me, and I only need a small part of those cans, enough for us to eat a few meals, you also know that I don't have many people." On the return car, Tang Cheng was very generous, and told Zhang Leshan that he only needed a small part of the spoils, which made Zhang Leshan very happy.

Just like when Tang Cheng first entered Longgang Town, although Tang Cheng killed them on the other side of the Fushui River in the dark, the people of Longgang Town are still living in their own way, there will still be idlers drinking tea and chatting on the streets, and there will still be wanderers carrying Hanyang-made Tuanding around. "Look at these people, they live so peacefully, completely ignoring the Japanese army on the other side of the Fushui River, once the Japanese army crosses the river and fights, I don't know what these people will do."

Tang Cheng's unfounded worries did not attract Zhang Leshan's attention, because the latter was still immersed in the joy of obtaining a large number of weapons and ammunition at this time, as long as he turned around, Zhang Leshan on the cart could see the soldiers under his command behind the cart, especially the brand-new rifles held in the hands of those soldiers under his command. Zhang Leshan's unintentional ignorance made Tang Cheng a little depressed, and then he just lowered his head and smoked and didn't speak, so that Lao Dongbei, who was sitting on the wheel, frequently looked back at Tang Cheng.

"Forget it, let's take care of a few of us first, since the people here have chosen this kind of life, they should have the courage to face the Japanese army." Tang Cheng silently looked at the people of Longgang in his sight, the current calm does not mean that he can always be so calm, Tang Cheng can no longer imagine that once the Japanese army crosses the river and kills it, this will be such a scene, but he knows that the life of these people will definitely not be easy, at least the Japanese army will not suddenly change their minds.

Seeing Liu Shi and them again, Tang Cheng and Lao Dongbei were very happy, because of Zhang Xiaobao, the lonely Wu Laosan had decided to stay with Tang Cheng to mix up an official and a half-job, compared with those unreliable Sichuan troops, Wu Laosan seemed to believe in Tang Cheng more, especially after Tang Cheng assigned him a short gun captured from the Japanese army. "Chief Tang, I want to stay in Longgang Town, Commander Zhang said that they lack manpower to take care of those wounded soldiers, and I want to stay myself, this place is very close to Zhoujiawan." Knowing that Tang Cheng came back safely, Liu Guihua came to find it, and Liu Guihua, who was wearing a military uniform, looked a lot more energetic, and looked a little heroic.

Since Liu Guihua is willing to stay, even Wu Laosan, who knows Liu Guihua, can't say anything, not to mention that Tang Cheng is just a stranger who is not very familiar with Li Guihua. Tang Cheng did not stop Liu Guihua, on the contrary, he also asked Liu Shishi to take 10 yuan of ocean to this homeless woman, "You take this money, the conditions of the Sichuan army are not very good, you put the money away, maybe there will be a time when the money will be used." Tang Cheng couldn't say that he was not optimistic about Zhang Leshan's troops, so he had to spend some money on Liu Gui to defend himself, lest this hard-working woman would not even have a chance to live.

"Okay, everything promised to Captain Zhang is done, let's prepare to leave." Tang Cheng, who had taken a bath in hot water, regained his energy, and grabbed Zhang Xiaobao in a fat military uniform with a smile and teased endlessly. "Dice, you and Shi will go to the Sichuan army to pull our things back in a while, I have already told Commander Zhang how much there is, don't ask more when you go, you will take back as much as they give."

In the two days that Tang Cheng and Lao Dongbei left, Liu Shishi and they were obviously not idle, not only did they spend money to sell two carts, but Ma Fatzi also prepared a lot of food on the road. "I look good, but this fabric is a little worse." Lao Northeast wore a brand-new national army uniform and swaggered back and forth in front of Tang Cheng, which was made by Hou San to find a tailor in the town, although there was nothing wrong with the style, but the poor texture of the fabric made the burly old Northeast look like a monkey and a vigilante group.

Xu saw the smile in Tang Cheng's eyes, and the embarrassed and angry old Northeast grabbed Hou San and knocked him out, and the aggrieved Hou San had no choice but to complain to Tang Cheng, "You can't blame me, there are only those fabrics in this town, I have rummaged through their warehouses to find a few pieces of fabric of this color, so I am not wearing this kind of goods." Hou San's almost helpless complaints and the old Northeast's reluctance, this family-like feeling made Tang Cheng laugh completely.
