Chapter Seventy-Six: Nanshan Village

"Brother Wang, I'm going to trouble you this time, as long as you take us through Shiqiao Township, you can get a reward of 2 oceans." Leading the way for Tang Cheng was a man named Wang Dalu in the village. Xiaoleishan Village is too small and too far away, few merchants are willing to come here to sell goods, only Wang Dalu often goes to Chengui Town or Lingxiang Town to help the villagers buy some daily necessities, and even Gaoqiao Town, which is farther away, he has also been there.

The Shiqiao Village that Tang Cheng said belongs to the boundary of Gaoqiao Town, and the boundary of Shiqiao Town is not far from Xianning, and Tang Cheng, who crosses the south of the Yangtze River, has always pursued the principle of day and night, if it weren't for the consideration of those students brought by Lao Xie, maybe Tang Cheng wouldn't even be looking for a guide at all. After resting for a night in Xiaoleishan Village, Tangcheng and their bodies and spirits were restored, and when the sky was just brightening, Wang Dalu had already taken Tangcheng and his party away from Xiaoleishan Village and marched along the mountain road to Daquangou.

As usual, Hou San and Dice were sent out to explore the way, but this time there was another Wang Dalu, and the simplicity of the people in the mountains made Hou San and Dice have a good impression of Wang Dalu, and it was not easy to leave the team, and the strangeness between the three of them had already disappeared. "Brother Dice, I don't think you are ordinary people, the spear on your body is much better than my earthen spear, what are you doing?" When Tang Cheng and the others appeared at the entrance of the village yesterday, the people in the village thought that it was a group of bandits, if it weren't for Tang Cheng and they were still bringing those students, the men in the village would have greeted Tang Cheng with earthen guns.

Wang Dalu's earthen guns can only be used to shoot birds and smaller wild animals, and when they encounter some big guys, they can only rely on digging traps and clamps, and the standard rifles in the hands of the dice and Hou San make the self-cooked Wang Dalu envious. Seeing that Wang Dalu did not leave the rifle on his shoulder for three sentences, the bold dice directly threw his rifle to Wang Dalu to play with, and most of the weapons seized along the way had been discarded when they entered Lei Mountain, just a Japanese soldier's 38 rifle, and the dice were not taken seriously at all.

The gun was given to Wang Dalu to play with, but for Wang Dalu's inquiry, Hou San and Dice did not answer directly, but just found a random topic to bypass the matter. I always heard Tang Cheng tell them to be careful of traitors, but Hou San and Dice really didn't know what a traitor was like, but after being in the rivers and lakes for a long time, there should be caution and vigilance. Walk along the mountain road all the way to the south, when you are about to reach Daquangou, Wang Dalu stops, there is a place called Nanshan Village outside Daquangou, Wang Dalu will always enter the village to rest every time he goes south, but this time he wants to listen to the dice and Hou San's meaning.

Nanshan Village is only 4 miles away from Lingxiang Town, so its scale is much larger than Xiaoleishan Village, as long as it bypasses Tiezi Mountain to the west, it is Lingxiang Town. It is also because Nanshan Village is close to Lingxiang Town, so when they learned that Nanshan Village was in front of them, Dice and Hou San slowed down, and before they were clearly sure that Nanshan Village was safe, none of them who served as top scouts dared to enter the village. Dice and Hou San didn't have binoculars, so they could only observe Nanshan Village from a distance, and found a suitable place to observe, and the three of them hid.

Like Xiaoleishan Village, Nanshan Village also has a millstone at the head of the village, but Nanshan Village has more population and fields than Xiaoleishan Village, and the scale of the village is much larger than Xiaoleishan Village. "Don't talk, look." Hou Sanzheng and Wang Dalu were chatting together, and the dice that had been staring at Nanshan Village suddenly exclaimed, and the two looked in the direction of the dice's fingers, and a few people with guns appeared at the entrance of Nanshan Village in the distance.

"Dalu, take a closer look, whether those people with guns on their backs are from Nanshan Village." The dice got up and gave up their position to Wang Dalu, if the few people with guns he saw just now were not from Nanshan Village, this would be a big trouble. Wang Dalu crouched down in the position given up by the dice and tried to look at the figures, but unfortunately he couldn't give a definite answer, it was too far away, I couldn't see the faces of the people carrying the gun, so I couldn't determine whether those people were from Nanshan Village.

"Hou San, you go back and tell Company Commander Tang about the matter, and Da Lu and I will stay here and continue to keep an eye on it." It was like the dice's brain turning faster, and he called Hou San to go back and report to Tang Cheng and the others, but he pulled Wang Dalu to stay where he was and continue to observe. Hou San didn't dare to delay too much, leaving his kettle to the dice, and he ran along the way with a gun.

"There are people with guns on their backs in Nanshan Village." Tang Cheng, who received the news, was also a little confused, "Have you seen those people clearly?" Are you wearing a military uniform or are there any obvious signs? Hou San didn't see what those people were doing at all, how could he answer the news that came up to Tang Cheng. Seeing this, Tang Cheng didn't ask any more questions, but just ordered to stop advancing, and called Lao Dongbei and Lao Xie together.

"The dice they found people with guns in Nanshan Village in front of them, probably too far away, and there is no way to confirm what those people are doing. I asked you to come over just to sum up what should we do next? Tang Cheng was blind to the terrain in this area, and only relied on Wang Dalu's account and the map of the Japanese army to determine the route, if they did not go to Nanshan Village, they would inevitably forcibly cross the Daquangou.

"Then why don't we go to Nanshan Village?" Lao Xie lowered his head and pondered for a while, then asked a question that made Tang Cheng scratch his head. Looking at the appearance of those students, let alone crossing Daquangou or going to Nanshan Village, they may not be able to hold on, and it is simply superfluous for Lao Xie to ask such a question. So many people want to go south through Daquangou, and the food and water they need is a big problem, not to mention what to do with their mules and horses, those mules and horses can't climb Daquangou.

Lao Dongbei was illiterate, and looked at the map taken out by Tang Cheng for a while, but Lao Dongbei was full of momentum, "If you want me to say, let's not care what those deflated calves do, relying on the four light machine guns in our hands, I don't believe they can stop us." "There are already four light machine guns captured one after another, and Lao Dongbei would rather throw away the rifle that gets in the way than the light machine gun, as far as the current firepower of Tangcheng is concerned, even against the Japanese army of the previous squad will not necessarily be defeated immediately.

Lao Xie thinks that Lao Northeast's words are simply messing around, but if you think about it carefully, it's not wrong, with such a strong firepower, do you have to go around in the mountains like a bandit. "I also agree with Lao Dongbei's opinion, if those people with guns in Nanshan Village are enemies, we will directly rush over with machine guns." Lao Xie finally agreed with Lao Dongbei's opinion once, which made Lao Dongbei a little unhappy, and Tang Cheng also thought that before there was no other better way, he could only prepare like this.

"Pap" "Pap" "Pap" "Pap" were still far away from the dice, and they had already heard the rapid gunfire in Tang City, and the gunfire was occasionally mixed with the roar of Wang Dalu's earthen gun. The sound of gunfire in the distance made Tang Cheng and the others change their faces greatly, "It's broken, the dice are on fire with people." The first to react was Hou San, after shouting, Hou San ran to the dice, and Lao Dongbei chased closely behind Hou San with his light machine gun.

Tang Cheng, who was robbed of the opportunity by the old Northeast, pulled Wu Chuang and shouted, "I'll bring some people over to support, you take the rest of the people to protect those students to find a safe place to hide first, if we can't retreat, you can take them to Daquangou." The money on the stone is enough for you to travel south, and you must send the stone to my sister in Kunming. "These things should have been explained to the old Northeast, but the old Northeast has long since disappeared, and the only thing Tang Cheng can use now is Wu Chuang.

After explaining Wu Chuang, Tang Cheng whispered a few more words to Lao Xie, asking Lao Xie to be optimistic that those students would follow Wu Chuang, and then rushed over with the monk and the other two machine gunners to the location where the gunshots rang out. The dice and Wang Dalu will exchange fire with each other by chance, too far away, Wang Dalu can't recognize the identity of the other party, and the dice who are bolder than the sky will take Wang Dalu to move forward slowly. Who knew that before they could move to the position they had already seen, they were discovered by the other party, and the other party shouted twice and did not see the dice and Wang Dalu responding, so they fired.

"What's going on? Why did this start a fight? Hou San and Lao Dongbei, who arrived in a hurry, directly joined the battle group, and the addition of light machine guns made the opponent's firepower obviously weaker, and when the other party's people began to retreat to the village, Lao Dongbei finally made time to ask the dice. The firefight with the other party is a bit inexplicable, how can the dice say the reason, but the dice can feel that the other party does not seem to have malicious intentions, at least the bullets from the other party are all flying high in the air, not like they want to kill themselves.

The other side began to retreat into the village, and Lao Dongbei was not interested in continuing to shoot, and when Tang Cheng rushed over with the other three light machine guns, the two sides had already stopped firing at each other. Finding a suitable place, Tang Cheng picked up the telescope and observed Nanshan Village, in the telescope, he could clearly see those people running at the entrance of the village, Tang Cheng carefully identified the weapons used by those people, most of them were old-fashioned rifles made by Hanyang, and occasionally one or two Japanese-style 38 rifles appeared, and the guns were also damaged.

"No matter how I look at it, these people don't look like they want to be our enemies." Tang Cheng told Lao Dongbei what he saw in the telescope, and the latter took the telescope and looked at it again, and the conclusion he came to was almost the same as Tang Cheng's speculation. "Look for yourself, half of these people are blocking the entrance of the village, and the rest seem to be helping the villagers to retreat to the back of the village, how can I look at these guys and the surnamed Xie all the way."

Hearing what Lao Dongbei said, Tang Cheng immediately found the answer to the familiar feeling when he observed Nanshan Village just now, that's right, these guys who blocked the entrance of the village and shot at the dice should be guerrillas. "Hou San, go back and call Lao Xie, you can't protect them all the way in vain, it's time for them to contribute." Tang Cheng and Lao Dongbei glanced at each other, and the meaning in their eyes was self-evident.
