Chapter 51: The Level
"What is the squad leader?" After dinner, Liu Shanyang, who learned the news, went to Tang Cheng, who was reading at night, "The squad leader is the head of the soldiers, the head of the soldiers, and the tail of the officers." It's just that you, the squad leader, are still only a private, and you are still far from the officer, and when we meet the regimental headquarters, I will get you the rank of corporal. ”
"Soldiers?" After sending off Liu Goat, Tang Cheng was lying on the bed covered with hay, still muttering about what Liu Goat had just said. Tang Cheng agreed to Xie Bo to stay in the second company, the initial reason was just to get rid of the recruitment and entanglement of the military commander, and later because Xie Bo was seriously injured, he couldn't bear to disappoint Xie Bo. But after three days of recruit training life, Tang Cheng couldn't say what the reason was, anyway, when he grabbed the rifle, he felt that he couldn't wait to shoot the Japanese soldiers.
Tang Cheng, who hadn't slept well all night, went to eat breakfast with two dark circles under his eyes, and naturally he was laughed at by Liu Goat and them, but fortunately, Tang Cheng's face was already a lot thicker, so he just buried his head in eating and didn't pay attention to what Liu Goat was talking about. "Niu Wazi, haven't you been making a lot of trouble these days? Today, Tang Cheng took his class to your side to help, if you have something, you go to him, don't ask people to run back to report the news. "Tang Cheng led the team to help in the town was said by Liu Goat in front of everyone, and this was also an arrangement deliberately made by Xie Bo, in order to make it clear that Tang Cheng could not find an excuse to shirk.
"We, let's change places today and continue training, and everyone follows me." The queue of 15 people made Tang Cheng a little depressed, and Tang Cheng forgot all the rhetoric that he had thought about all night, and even let the newcomers line up to march. Tang Cheng, who was carrying a rifle, walked briskly in front, and 15 chaotic newcomers followed behind Tang Cheng, these newcomers who were all farmers a few days ago could tell who was a veteran and who was a novice, and they all thought that Tang Cheng, who was carrying a short gun, was also an officer.
Niu Wazi's position is still the same level where Tang Cheng shot Niu Ah Si that day, five novices count Niu Wazi exactly six people, four people check the flow of people in the past, and the two vacated people serve as guards. "Master Jun, when will you let us go? The child was crying when he was hungry, and we wanted to go into town early to buy something to eat for the child. When Tang Cheng rushed to the checkpoint with people, two women holding children were crying and talking about something beside Niu Wazi, but Niu Wazi didn't say a word with a cold face.
"I've told you a long time ago, if you want to enter the town, you have to queue up, everyone has to wait in line for inspection, if you line up early in the morning, you will probably have entered the town long ago." The group next to Niu Wazi pushed the two women into the queue with a rifle, and the child in the woman's arms did not cry anymore, but just looked at the steel helmet on Niu Wazi's head with a curious expression.
"God, you're finally here, if you don't come again, I'll send someone back to call you." Tang Cheng's appearance made Niu Wazi's tense face relax, and he secretly reached out to wipe the beads of sweat on his forehead, Niu Wazi gave Tang Cheng a look, and motioned to go to the side to talk. The regiment recruited by Liu Goat was only paid military salaries and weapons, and he was wearing a black coarse cloth short coat, but Niu Wazi was different from Tang Cheng, which was the standard national army appearance, especially Tang Cheng also carried two short guns, which was naturally considered an official by the refugees crowded at the checkpoint.
"Sir, sir, let's let us in, adults can be hungry, but children are small, they can't bear to be hungry." The two women who were pushed into the queue by Niu Wazi and they cried and found Tang Cheng again, but they couldn't get close to Tang Cheng and were separated by those groups. Queuing up to enter the town, this is set by Xie Bo, only in this way will there be no riot to Qiandeng Town, if all the refugees rush into Qiandeng Town in a mess, then this town that leads directly to Suzhou may have already become a pot of porridge.
At first, when Tang Cheng saw Niu Wazi ignoring the two women, he was a little unbearable, but this time it was his turn to be cried, but Tang Cheng's heart changed. Just like Niu Wazi said, the position of these two women is quite high, if they can honestly wait in line for inspection, they may have entered the town a long time ago, where to hold the child and cry. A "pop" of gunfire silenced hundreds of refugees outside the checkpoint, especially those close to Tang City.
"Listen well, the establishment of checkpoints here is also for everyone's safety, a few days ago, there have been outlaws robbing refugees in the town, so all those who want to enter Qiandeng Town are not allowed to carry weapons except for soldiers." Tang Cheng, who jumped up and stood on the rejecting horse, raised his gun and shouted. Tang Cheng's voice was not thick, and his face became more and more immature, but no one dared to doubt him, because Tang Cheng was carrying a shell gun with a large open nose in his hand, and the gunshot just now was obviously made by Tang Cheng.
"All those who want to enter Qiandeng Town must be checked by the group ding, maybe it will take you a little time, but for the safety of yourself and your family, please wait in line as required, blindly squeezing around will only make you wait longer." Faced with the shell gun in Tang Cheng's hand, the refugees chose to line up, and several young people who were checking and scolding the group also shut up.
"It's still you, it's different to be the squad leader, you have to come over early, and I don't have to be so troublesome." Niu Wazi stretched out his thumb to Tang Cheng, who jumped off the horse, but he sat on a stake on the side of the road and smoked a cigarette. After the order at the checkpoint was good, the speed of the group's interrogation of the refugees was naturally much faster, and the two women holding the child quickly entered the town through the interrogation. Looking at the refugees outside the checkpoint, Tang Cheng's heart was a little uncomfortable, looking at the number of refugees, he knew that the war in Shanghai was not optimistic, but he didn't know what happened to the church.
Robert's grave was chosen in the backyard of the church, but it was just a well-dressed grave, Robert's body had already been sent for cremation, and Tang Cheng was in too much of a hurry, so he had to store Robert's ashes in the church first. If he still has the life to return to Shanghai alive, he must send Robert's ashes back to the United States for burial, touching the American passport sewn in the pocket of his underwear, Tang Cheng's heart tingled, if Robert hadn't died, he would have followed Robert to the United States.
"Hold him, hold him, I just saw that this guy is not a good guy, damn, he still has a gun on him." Tang Cheng's reverie was interrupted by a sudden commotion at the checkpoint, and several regiments were scurrying towards the field next to the checkpoint, their target being a short man in an ordinary coarse cloth jacket.
"Report to the squad leader, the brothers pulled out a spy from the refugees, this kid was carrying a short gun, but he was snatched by the brothers." One of the members of Tang Cheng's class sent the short gun in his hand to Tang Cheng like a dog. Tang Cheng can shoot and kill people, but it doesn't mean that he knows all the weapons in this world, and he doesn't know the short gun in his hand. looks a little like what Mao Wu said, but it's weird, but the grip of the pistol is oblique, unlike his own 1911, which is a straight handle.
"Well, Zhilu said, let's chase people back first." Handing the pistol to the oily cow baby, Tang Cheng took out half a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and threw it to the group, who gave Tang Cheng a non-standard military salute, and then happily took the cigarette and turned away. In other words, Tang Cheng would never do this a few days ago, this is the imperial method that Xie Bo taught him last night, if you want to convince your subordinates, it is not enough to rely on ability, you have to mingle with them.
"Who are you? Why do you carry a pistol on your body? "The Tuan Ding of Qiandeng Town was originally an honest farmer, and it may not be possible to fight with a gun, but when it comes to this ability to chase people in the field, it is still very good. The panting dog-like man in the short coat was soon escorted back by several regiments, and Tang Cheng did not avoid the refugees outside the checkpoint, so he began to interrogate the man in the field by the roadside.
Whether it was indifference or disdain, Tang Cheng couldn't tell, anyway, he saw this kind of expression in the eyes of the man in the short coat. Intuition told him that this guy who was found with a short gun on his body was by no means an ordinary person, if he was just an ordinary person, he would never be so calm in the face of Tang Cheng and Niu Wazi wearing the uniform of the national army. "What about you? Who are you? Why do you have a gun on your body? Niu Wazi is a fiery temper, seeing that the man was silent, he raised his hand to be a few mouths, and the corner of the man's mouth was seen in a few strokes.
Tang Cheng undoubtedly stopped Niu Wazi from making a move, but just squatted down and carefully looked at the things spread on the ground, these small bits and pieces were all searched out of the standing posture by Tuanding. A pistol, two spare magazines, seven or eight oceans and a few bills, half a pack of cigarettes, a box of matches, a few hard candies, and beyond that, Tang Cheng found nothing that felt useful. The man's cheeks were already swollen, but he still refused to speak, just looked at Niu Wazi with an indifferent expression.
"I think it's better to send it back to the company commander, this kid is a hard bone, I'm out of line." The man's cheeks were swollen, and the slapping cow baby's hand was also red, and he was afraid of trouble, and he whispered in Tang Cheng's ear. Tang Cheng, who didn't find the answer from the bits and pieces on the ground, also nodded yes, maybe Xie Bo and Liu Goat would have a way to deal with such a guy.
"You take him back, I'll keep an eye on it here." handed the bundle of sturdy short coats to Niu Wazi's side, and Tang Cheng wrapped the bits and pieces on the ground together and handed them to Niu Wazi. The checkpoint was not very close to their station, and Tang Cheng really didn't want to toss back and forth anymore, so Niu Wazi, who was active by nature, became the best choice to escort this person.
