Xie Bo, who had not fully recovered from his injuries, was not suitable to move, so Liu Goat took a few of them who had recovered from their injuries to move all the weapons and ammunition from the basement to Xie Bo's room, smelling the smell of gun oil emanating from the new gun, Xie Bo's intact eyes were bright and scary. "If we had these weapons and ammunition when we were surrounded by the Japanese army, there might have been more brothers who survived." Xie Bo's voice was already a little choked, which made Tang Cheng, who seemed to be irrelevant, feel a little sad to hear.

"I think it's better to buy them all, anyway, the division headquarters will re-issue weapons to us, and taking out these new guns will only cause trouble, so it's better to put money in your pocket." Xie Bo did not agree to take all the weapons found in Tang Cheng to the black market and sell them, but Liu Shangot's words were not unreasonable, and there were strict regulations on the distribution of pistols in the national army, especially in the descendants of the 88th Division. Once all the 10 brand-new German original fast and slow machines are taken out, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of all parties, and the consequences of this will outweigh the losses.

"Don't buy them all, replace the brothers' rifles with new guns, take the old ones and sell them, leave 2,000 bullets for the brothers, leave the pistols for the officers, keep more bullets, it is estimated that our future ammunition supply will not be as easy as before." Regardless of Xie Bo's objections, Tang Cheng, who got a new gun, returned the 20 rounds that Xie Bo gave him, after all, he was used to using it, compared with the new gun that Liu Goat brought, Xie Bo still liked his old gun.

"Selling guns?" Tang Cheng wondered if he had heard it wrong, and his first task after being brought to the second company was to follow Liu Goat to the black market to sell guns. Robert said that weapons are the second life of soldiers, so how could Liu Goat go to the black market to sell guns? Didn't you say that the 88th Division is a descendant of the national army? Didn't the Nationalist Government pay the 88th Division? Tang Cheng was confused, he didn't understand what Xie Bo's intention was in agreeing to sell guns.

"Yes, it was a gun seller, and there were only about 30 people left who were beaten in the second company, and so many brothers needed settling-in allowances and pensions to support their families. Some may be issued above, but after the layers of exploitation by those who handle it, it would be good for the brothers to have half of them after they got their hands on them. Xie Bo didn't intend to hide it from Tang Cheng, Xie Bo had always privately dealt with some of the second company's booty and military supplies in the black market, if it weren't for this, the families of those brothers who died in the war would have been unable to open the pot a long time ago.

"But you don't have to sell guns, how can you fight the Japanese without weapons?" Tang Cheng is not a slow brain, as long as he thinks about it, he can understand Xie Bo's intentions, and while sighing at Xie Bo's good intentions, he is also puzzled by Xie Bo going to the black market to sell guns. "I've been to the black market a few times with my friends, not only weapons are valuable, but some medicines, antiques and other things are also valuable, there are so many Japanese hospitals and trading houses in the concession, why don't you just come to the door and get some medicines and antiques back, as for taking out the gun and selling it for money?"

Xie Bo and Liu Goat are both soldiers, and they will know that there are so many twists and turns in the black market, if it weren't for Tang Cheng saying that medicines and antiques are also valuable, I'm afraid they would only exchange the extra guns for money. Tang Cheng is different, after moving from Robert to Shanghai, Tang Cheng followed the gangsters on the street to shop around Shanghai, and he is naturally no stranger to places like the black market.

"Okay, since you said so, I'll leave this matter to you, and I'll let the mill take two brothers with you." After Xie Bo and Liu Goat glanced at each other, they directly ignored Tang Cheng's shaking of his head and refused to make a decision. The only things Xie Bo can exchange for money on the black market now are weapons and ammunition, but after all, they are from the 88th Division, if they really exchange weapons for Dayang, once the matter is known by the superiors, Xie Bo, the captain, will be considered to be the end of it.

"I know where to get medicine, I'll prepare things." Liu Goat was in a hurry, so he immediately took the mill and drove the truck out. Xie Bo's second company has been fighting against the Japanese army in the downtown area of Shanghai, and has undertaken a lot of forward tasks, in their attack mission, they once passed a clinic opened by the Japanese, at that time Liu Goat also paid special attention to the clinic There are people, Tang Cheng said that the black market medicine is valuable, Liu Goat naturally thought of the Japanese clinic for the first time.

Liu Goat took the mill and they went for more than 2 hours, until it was completely dark, and several people happily drove back in the truck. "Let's see, it's all in foreign language, I don't know what kind of medicine is in the road, but we got all the medicine back from that Japanese clinic." The four wooden boxes were full of medicine bottles of various sizes, and the labels on the medicine bottles were Japanese, English, and German, and Tang Cheng could only squat down and look through the medicine bottles in the wooden boxes one by one.

"Why are you taking all the saline, cold medicine, headache medicine, I'm talking about anti-inflammatory drugs and trauma medicine, what are you bringing back?" Looking at the large and small medicine bottles placed on the ground, Tang Cheng was speechless. And Liu Goat, who was asked by Tang Cheng, blushed and disguised his head and smoked, not to mention foreign words, he didn't even know a few Chinese words, and when he was loading, he picked up those that were pleasing to the eye and took them, and he could take care of what was worth it or not.

Xie Bo, who was watching coldly, smiled secretly in his heart, there is a lot of insight is different, no one in the previous second company can distinguish the medicine except for the hygienist. "Forget it, we won't be able to use so many weapons now anyway, so it doesn't hurt to sell some." In the end, Xie Bo played a round at the right time, the new weapons that Tang Cheng found in the basement were enough for the second company, and now the remaining people are replaced with new guns, and if they sell the old guns they replaced, they should be able to get some money back.

"Okay, let's rest early after eating, Tang Cheng, you stay for a while, I have something to tell you." Xie Bo gave Liu Goat a look and left Tang Cheng with a confused face. It was Xie Bo's selfishness to leave Tang Cheng in the second company, the second company was the first company he commanded after he came out of Huangpu, Liu Goat and Nian Zi they are all veterans in the company, these people are only for the purpose of making a living, but now the Japanese army is menacing, if there is no clear-eyed person to help them, Liu Goat and Nian Zi their illiterate personalities, even if they do not die on the battlefield, sooner or later they will die from the dark arrows shot from behind by their own people.

If it was someone else, he would not have gone to such great lengths to pull Tang Cheng into his hands just by virtue of his friendship with Tang Cheng for a day, but Xie Bo was a soldier from the military. Although Xie Bo graduated from Whampoa, his several years of military career made Xie Bo very much like Liu Goat's character as a veteran, that is, he looks at people by feeling. The meticulousness and cleverness shown by Tang Cheng when he led the way for them that day made Xie Bo remember it vividly, especially Tang Cheng could speak and write Japanese fluently, if there were such people in the Second Company when he was fighting with the Japanese army, it would definitely be a great help to the Second Company.

"I know that you don't want to join our second company" Xie Bo motioned to Tang Cheng to move the single sofa to his side, and then handed Tang Cheng the watch that Liu Goat secretly stuffed into him, "But now the people of the military commander are looking for you, you are Liu Goat picked up from the church, and they now know that you are a member of our 88th Division, so they will not do anything to you for the time being." But if you leave here, the military commanders will take you away at any time, and they will punish you for desertion, not to mention that you have an American passport on you, even if you are a yellow-haired and blue-eyed gringo, you will not be able to escape the military commander's intelligence network. ”

"This watch was brought to me by Liu Goat, I think it should be worth a few dollars, if you have to leave here, then take advantage of the evening to hurry up, catch up with the time when there is no money, you can take this watch as a few dollars, how can it be used as a few dollars in case of emergency." Xie Bo is different from Liu Goat, Tang Cheng can bluntly say to Liu Goat that he wants to leave, but he is a little difficult to say when he faces Xie Bo, especially the gauze on Xie Bo's body has not been removed yet.

Xie Bo was also a company commander anyway, and he guessed what Tang Cheng was thinking, and said with a smile at the moment, "You don't have to feel sorry for me, although I really want you to stay, but if you don't want to, just leave." Xie Bonu motioned to Tang Cheng to light a cigarette for himself, "Fortunately, it's you, Liu Goat, they don't let me smoke, they're suffocating me these days." Xie Bo took a greedy puff and smoked half of his cigarette, then smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Back then, I was a student like you, thinking that after graduation, I could find a good job to support my family, and then get married and have children like most people. But I haven't graduated from school yet, 128 broke out, when the Japanese army came, many of our classmates in our school joined the army and went to the front, but my mother's health was not good, and I was relieved that none of my mother joined the army. However, after more than a month of fighting, more than 80% of my more than 30 classmates were killed or wounded, and most of those who survived were disabled. ”

"But my crippled classmates were respected by the whole school, and I regretted it at that time, regretting that I didn't go to the front line with them to fight devils." Saying this, Xie Bo's half of his face that emerged from under the gauze showed a hint of loneliness, "You must know that I was the strongest boy in our school at that time, but it's a pity." ”

"And what about later? How did you end up at the Whampoa Military Academy? Tang Cheng, who felt the same way as Xie Bo, couldn't help but ask.

"Later, I was fortunate to meet an officer of the National Army who had participated in the 128th Anti-Japanese War at that time, and after his inspiration and my mother's consent, I went to apply for the Whampoa Military Academy, and after graduating from the military academy, I was assigned to the 88th Division to command the 2nd Company." Xie Bo's tone was very light, but Tang Cheng could hear the loneliness in Xie Bo's words. Xie Bo was supposed to be an officer with great ambitions, but now he has become a decadent person who lies on the sofa wrapped in gauze and reminisces about the past, Tang Cheng doesn't know whether to be glad that Xie Bo is still alive or feel sad for Xie Bo.
