Chapter Thirty-Eight: Premonition and Recognition of the Enemy

"Okay, old kidnapper, these are from the 88th Company of the 524th Regiment of the 2nd Division, so I'll give them a pot of meat." It wasn't until the officer next to Liu Shanyang opened his mouth that Tang Cheng could finally conclude that he was Xie Chengrui. Handing the lunch box that had been guarding at his feet to Zhou Fu and them, Tang Cheng glanced at Xie Chengrui cautiously, looking at his appearance but dignified, if he hadn't experienced it in the second company himself, Tang Cheng would have been hard to imagine, it was this person who had worked hard to get out of Shanghai and used the second company as cannon fodder.

With Xie Chengrui's order, the firehead soldiers of the teaching team were not good at scheming with Zhou Fu, so Zhou Fu simply moved the cauldron to a place with a few people from the second company, counting Guo Tianbao and a few of them, and more than 20 people ate a meal of broth and cakes around a big pot. This time it can be regarded as full, Tang Cheng even loosened the buttonhole of the belt, and people are easy to get sleepy as soon as they are full, but Xie Chengrui did not leave time and opportunity for the second company to take a nap, and directly asked Liu Goat to take the second company and Guo Tianbao to the right flank of the position, saying that two hours ago, the sentry on the right flank position had just discovered the traces of the Japanese scouts.

"Damn, I know that this broth is not so free to eat." Carrying the Czech light machine gun issued by Xie Chengrui to the second company, Zhou Fu complained all the way as he went, but Liu Goat didn't care about him, just walked in front and looked left and right. It can be seen that the combat effectiveness of the second battalion under the personal command of Xie Chengrui is not weak, and there are no less than a dozen light and heavy machine guns erected on the position alone, which cannot be compared with the time when the first battalion relied on a few machine guns to hold the forward position, which shows that Xie Chengrui did not take Liu Goat seriously.

Tang Cheng, who was walking in the middle of the team, also looked around as he walked, Xie Bo's notes recorded the strength and firepower deployment of the blocking position, but Tang Cheng still knew too little about the things in the army, and he couldn't understand many things in Xie Bo's notes. Xie Bo had already left the Second Company and went to Chongqing, Tang Cheng had to flip through the notebook while pondering it himself, combined with the position layout of the Second Battalion at this time, Tang Cheng had some understanding of the notebook left by Xie Bo.

The persistence of the 51st Division in Chunhua Town brought Xie Chengrui a trace of relief, knowing that Chunhua Town would not be able to hold it in the end, but Xie Chengrui still hoped that the 51st Division could hold on to Chunhua Town for a while longer, because it was about to get dark, and it was only suitable for the 51st Division to retreat when it was dark. The 51st Division stationed in Chunhua Town has been engaged in fierce fighting with the Japanese army, the battle has lasted all day, the second battalion commanded by Xie Chengrui is simply listening to the sound of guns and cannons coming from the direction of Chunhua Town to strengthen the fortifications, the Japanese army's powerful firepower and repeated attacks have made Chunhua Town dangerous, the 51st Division has suffered heavy casualties, and several groups of wounded soldiers have been sent back to the city.

But on the whole, the 51st Division fought tenaciously, at least so far they have kept their positions, and given the incoming Japanese troops a head-on attack, which can basically be regarded as a tie. The dark whistle in front of the position blew again, and another group of wounded of the 51st Division was withdrawn from the defense line of Chunhua Town, and the number of wounded in this group was a bit large, and it looked like there were almost 200 people. The second company, which was searching from the right side of the position, did not pay attention to the wounded of the 51st Division at first, but Guo Tianbao, who followed the second company, was a nostalgic person, and after discussing with Liu Goat, Liu Goat also temporarily changed direction, allowing Guo Tianbao to get some information about the current situation in Chunhua Town from the wounded of the 51st Division.

The wounded, always in ragged clothes, numb, and chapped lips, looked the same from a distance as these wounded who were walking towards the position of the Second Regiment, and seemed to be no different from when Empress Erliancang withdrew. "If it weren't for the surname Xie who kept Lao Tzu in Liu Zi Ah City, maybe Lao Tzu would have killed all the little devils in this place, grandma's real fucking bad luck." Guo Tianbao, who was very arrogant, vented his dissatisfaction with Xie Chengrui, and at the same time opened his two long legs and greeted those wounded.

This is the defense area under the personal command of Xie Chengrui, and there are a large number of light and heavy machine guns on the position, including Liu Goat, no one has any doubts about these wounded, of course, including Tang Cheng, who is bent on following the trend. "Which unit of the 51st Division are you? I'm Guo Tianbao from the reconnaissance company of the division headquarters. Guo Tianbao exhaled from afar, but Tang Cheng, who looked up with Guo Tianbao's loud voice, couldn't help but froze for a moment, the feeling when he encountered the fat man and the horse in the grove outside Suzhou City came again, Tang Cheng suddenly felt as uncomfortable as the prey targeted by the hunter.

"Something is wrong," Tang Cheng muttered in a low voice, and at the same time, he had already carried the shell gun on his waist in his hand, and walked a few steps to catch up with Liu Goat and lightly bumped him with his shoulder. "I think something is wrong, there may be a problem with these wounded soldiers, but I don't know what the problem is." Tang Cheng's suspicion made Liu Goat almost fall to the ground without any of them, and the second company that followed Guo Tianbao and a few of them was only more than 20 meters away from the wounded of the 51st Division.

"Call the mill and Zhou Fu, the three of you hide your short guns and look at my eyes, as long as I start lighting a cigarette, you will shoot." If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, there are only 15 people left in the second company now, Liu Goat will definitely not tolerate another big casualty in the second company, as long as the group of wounded soldiers who come over on the opposite side moves, Liu Goat will definitely make the other party first. When Tang Cheng slowed down and fell to the back of the closest, Liu Goat walked a few steps quickly and followed behind Guo Tianbao, using Guo Tianbao's body as a cover, Liu Goat had already opened the holster cover of his shell gun.

Tang Cheng told both Nian Zi and Zhou Fu about his suspicions, and the three of them all carried two guns and moved to the flanks under the cover of the other soldiers according to Liu Goat's arrangement. Guo Tianbao They met people from the same army, and they didn't pay much attention to some details, but Liu Goat, who received Tang Cheng's reminder, was different. Liu Goat is a veteran soldier, before entering the 88th Division, he was a rout, if these guys who came over from the opposite side were really fake, Liu Goat would definitely be able to see the problem.

Taking advantage of Guo Tianbao's greetings with the wounded soldiers of the 51st Division, Liu Goat took a good look, I don't know if his eyesight has decreased or what, Liu Goat has seen most of these wounded soldiers, but he has not seen the problem. Liu Goat tried to chat with one of the other wounded soldiers, and the other party's accent was also authentic in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but Liu Goat, a northerner, didn't understand what the other party meant.

Liu Goat began to suspect that Tang Cheng's premonition was incorrect, but at the time of Zhonghua Gate, it was Tang Cheng who found out the Japanese spies from hundreds of refugees, Liu Goat decided to believe Tang Cheng, and he was ready to try again. Receiving Liu Goat's eyes, Tang Cheng inserted the barge gun with a wide open nose back into his waist, and then approached the wounded soldiers of the 51st Division with a few cigarettes. Among the national troops that Tang Cheng came into contact with after leaving Shanghai, except for nine catties, Tang Cheng did not seem to have found any soldiers who could not smoke.

"Here's one, our company commander gave it, it's good cigarettes." Tang Cheng, who had a smile on his face, took out a few cigarettes in his hand, and chatted smoothly with a few wounded soldiers who took the cigarettes. The accent was completely correct, there was no problem with the attire, and there was no problem with the eyes of these people, Tang Cheng suspected for a moment that there was a problem with his own judgment, but when his eyes fell on the bullet bags on these wounded soldiers, Tang Cheng's eyes were alert.

It stands to reason that the 51st Division has been fighting fiercely with the invading Japanese army in Chunhua Town for two days and nights, and it is certain that a large number of wounded soldiers will appear, but the bullet bags on the wounded soldiers of the 51st Division are all full of bulging bags, and a unit that has been fighting fiercely with a large number of Japanese troops for two days and nights will actually allow the wounded soldiers who have withdrawn to rest and recuperate with so much ammunition, which has to surprise Tang Cheng. Tang Cheng, who seemed to be chatting energetically, even used the excuse to pat the shoulders of the two wounded soldiers of the 51st Division, the heavy feeling of the bullet bag would definitely not be wrong, it should be filled with bullets.

Seeing that he was about to enter the outermost position of the teaching team, Tang Cheng had not yet found the most direct evidence to prove that these guys were fake soldiers of the 51st Division. "It's been a long time since I left my hometown, and I miss my family so much." Tang Cheng seemed to inadvertently utter a sentence in Japanese, although the voice was small, but the short soldier walking beside him heard it tangentially.

"yes, who doesn't want to miss home." The short soldier next to Tang Cheng picked up Tang Cheng's words almost without thinking, and he also spoke Japanese. "What, you too?" As he spoke, the short soldier suddenly realized and turned his head to look at Tang Cheng. Japanese was his native language, no matter how well he spoke Chinese, but when he heard Tang Cheng speak in Japanese, this short soldier was simply reflexive and used his native language.

"We were also ordered to infiltrate the city," Tang Cheng lowered his voice as he seemed to affectionately lower his voice and muttered to the short soldier in Japanese, but the latter did not notice that Tang Cheng's right hand had reached the position of his lower back. When he heard Tang Cheng say in Japanese that he was also infiltrating the troops, the short soldier's eyes also flashed with a hint of eagerness, and he nodded heavily at Tang Cheng, but did not speak again.

Forcibly enduring the tension of plopping and surging blood, Tang Cheng's right hand had already carried the shell gun in his hand, giving Liu Goat a suggestive look from afar, and Tang Cheng also carried another shell gun in his left hand. "Get down, they're Japanese soldiers." Nian Zi and Zhou Fu shouted at the same time with Liu Goat, and the shell gun in Tang Cheng's left hand had already fired the first shot against the short soldier's chest.
