Chapter 21 To Yunnan

"Are you really leaving?" The corners of Huang Chengzhong's eyes twitched a few times unconsciously, the news that Tang Cheng said that he was going to leave was too sudden, Huang Chengzhong would still be immersed in the pride of the military commanders, but he didn't expect Tang Cheng to suddenly propose to take people away. "You're too daring, aren't you? It's not like the Tang City I know. Huang Chengzhong didn't think about it so much, he just thought that Tang Cheng was afraid of those people in the military command.

"Lao Huang, now I'm not alone, I still have those brothers who have fought with the little devils together, I promised them that I will take them to live well. Look at Xiaobao and Lao Mu, what else can I do, can I look at them like those routs, people are not like people, ghosts are not like ghosts, and they don't end well in the end? Tang Cheng naturally couldn't tell Huang Chengzhong the truth, so he had to make his words more ambiguous, so that Huang Chengzhong thought that he was really afraid of the military commander before he chose to leave.

"You've seen what happened today, those military commanders don't have our handle at all, and they don't dare to come into my place to arrest people. What's more, they don't know who you are at all, and when they asked about it today, I only said that you were wounded soldiers sent by the 60th Army, and the military commander didn't ask for your name. Huang Chengzhong's heart was actually very conflicted, he didn't want Tang Cheng, who could give him an idea, to leave, but he was worried that he would be in prison because Tang Cheng leaked the news.

The extremely contradictory Huang Chengzhong's words were slightly dry, Tang Cheng heard Huang Chengzhong's thoughts as soon as he heard it, and then smiled, "Old Huang, you can't underestimate the military commander, if the people in the military command are all wine bags and rice bags in your imagination, then how can their fame be so big." I don't want to leave here by chance, it's better to leave them with stones before they notice me here. Tang Cheng had already made up his mind, no matter how Huang Chengzhong persuaded him, Tang Cheng only said that he wanted to leave, and Huang Chengzhong had no choice but to find Zhao Cannon.

Zhao Cannon was also puzzled by Tang Cheng's decision to leave suddenly, "Company Commander Tang, I know that you are a descendant of the national army, and the descendant of the national army like you naturally can't look down on a miscellaneous army like our Dian army. But now that there are wars everywhere, and besides, some of your injuries are not good, and with us, at least you can recuperate in peace. If you leave here, where can you go, you don't even know where the 88th Division is now. ”

Zhao Dacang thought that he would be able to persuade Tang Cheng by talking about the 88th Division, but he didn't expect Tang Cheng to smile indifferently, "I didn't want to go to the 88th Division, we were separated from the large army in Xiaojieling, and the 88th Division may have regarded us as battle losses a long time ago." I have a sworn brother in Kunming, and I am going to go to him, at least Kunming is considered a big rear, and these brothers under me can also live well. ”

Seeing that there was no way to dissuade Tang Cheng's decision, Huang Chengzhong and Zhao Dacang had no choice but to stay no longer, and Tang Cheng did not say who he would go to when he went to Kunming. "You haven't sent them away yet, have you? I guess they don't want to go back to the battlefield either? Huang Chengzhong and Zhao Cannon were still immersed in the news that Tang Cheng was about to leave, but Tang Cheng turned to ask about the soldiers who poured arms to Changsha.

"What are you asking for?" Huang Chengzhong looked at Tang Cheng very puzzled, he and Zhao Cannon just took it for granted that those soldiers would be willing to return to the front line, but they didn't expect that only three of the dozen soldiers were willing to go back to Fengxin, and the others would rather take off their uniforms than go back to the front line to fight. The war has tormented these former hot-blooded men without blood, and whether they continue to live or die under the fire of the Japanese army, many people will invariably choose to die silently rather than silently.

"I have a good idea, not only to help you get rid of those military commanders temporarily, but also to get the wishes of these disabled Dian brothers in the shelter." Tang Cheng took out a cigarette and lit it and took a puff, then observed the expressions of Huang Chengzhong and Zhao Dacang through the cyan smoke. Tang Cheng knew that after he said this plan, going west to Yunnan could no longer be changed, but before that, he had to wait for the reaction of Huang Chengzhong and Zhao Dacang.

The distance from Liuyang to Yunnan is not close, and he has to pass through Guizhou during the period, and Tang Cheng obviously can't do it if he doesn't have a suitable identity, so he has to facilitate this matter. Seeing that Huang Chengzhong and Zhao Cannon were just pondering but did not speak, Tang Cheng secretly smiled before he continued, "The lightly wounded may be able to return to the front line, but what about those who are seriously injured and disabled?" It is obviously impossible to return to the army, but how do you settle them, is it difficult to let them fend for themselves here in Liuyang? ”

Tang Cheng's words obviously touched Huang Chengzhong and Zhao Cannon, especially Zhao Dacang frowned tightly, "Then how can it be done, these are the brothers of my Yunnan army, they left blood and were injured on the battlefield, although we can't care about them for the rest of their lives, we can't let them live in a foreign country." Zhao Cannon's words were also affirmed by Huang Chengzhong, looking at these two guys with crazy expressions, Tang Chengxin said that this matter was half successful.

"What can you do? The wounded soldiers in this shelter alone have already tormented the two of you, and the disabled brothers are even more difficult to place. Tang Cheng's tone was much heavier, but what crushed Huang Chengzhong and Zhao Dacang was not Tang Cheng's tone, but what Tang Cheng said. Tang Cheng was right, just these wounded soldiers in the shelter had already exhausted Huang Chengzhong and Zhao Cannon, and besides, they were just a small captain, how could they manage those soldiers who had been disabled.

According to the past practice, these soldiers who have been disabled and incapacitated will be repatriated to their hometowns or stranded in the local area to fend for themselves, Zhao Cannon said that he will take care of these soldiers, it is just a momentary atmosphere, but it is not so simple and easy to implement. Huang Chengzhong and Zhao Cannon are both veterans, and it is impossible not to know these things, so Tang Cheng will force them little by little with words, and let them think in the direction they expected.

"I'm going to Yunnan, maybe I can help you take some of the disabled soldiers with you, so they can go back to their hometowns and live out the rest of their lives." Huang Chengzhong and Zhao Dacang didn't speak for a long time, and Tang Cheng had no choice but to say his plan. "All the westward is the national control area, there should be a guarantee of safety, I only need some big cars and some guards, and I can just help you take away those guys who don't want to return to the front line, so that you don't have to worry about someone leaking the news and attracting the military commander's investigation."

After Tang Cheng revealed all his plans, he only cared about smoking, and he was waiting for Huang Chengzhong and Zhao Dacang to make a decision. The words have already been said for this part, Tang Cheng no longer wants to hide from Huang Chengzhong and Zhao Dacang, of course, he can't say anything about what he designed to promote this decision. Of course, it is a good thing to be able to let those disabled brothers return to their hometowns, but Huang Chengzhong still doesn't want Tang Cheng to leave like this, at least he doesn't want to lose someone who can give him advice.

"Lao Huang, it will take a few more months for my injuries to heal, don't look at Hou San and a few of them jumping around, in fact, their injuries are not healed. You are all people who know the battle ahead, so why do you tell us why our national army has deployed so many troops on the periphery of Changsha? Since the Japanese army has already been severely damaged on the front line of Fengxin, why not gather heavy troops to pursue the situation? I guess it's not that they don't want to, but they can't, because the Japanese army is about to attack Changsha, and those troops still have to defend Changsha instead of scattering their forces to take the initiative, am I right? ”

Tang Cheng had been fiddling with his map these days, and combined with the battle reports he had heard from Huang Chengzhong or Zhao Dacang, Tang Cheng naturally came up with the answer that the Japanese army was going to besiege Changsha. In fact, there is no need for Tang Cheng to waste so much effort to look at the map, the purpose of the Japanese invasion of China is to occupy the whole of China, Changsha is the Japanese army must take, just like Wuhan is a truth, take Changsha, the Japanese army will be much easier to go west.

"Since the beginning of 37 years, since he killed the first Japanese in Shanghai, he has been accompanied by bullets and guns every day, and it has been almost 2 years now. To tell the truth, I am not afraid, but tired, and every day when I close my eyes, I think of the robes of my brothers who fought with me, as well as my relatives. I promised my previous company commander that he would protect the stone and live well, the stone was originally a child without a father and no mother, and he followed the surname of my previous company commander, which meant to leave a root for the Liu family. I can't let the stone die at the hands of the Japanese, and I can't let Hou San and them die here, I promised them. ”

Tang Cheng's words were half-true, but Huang Chengzhong and Zhao Dacang completely believed it, in the face of Tang Cheng, a person who was already tired of war, what else could they say, and they couldn't say anything. Tang Cheng and Huang Chengzhong chatted in the house for a long time, until the sky was already dark, and then Tang Cheng beckoned Liu Shishi and Zhang Xiaobao, who were waiting outside, to help him leave. "Shall we let them go?" Although he had promised Tang Cheng, Huang Chengzhong was still a little unwilling.

"What if you don't do this, Tang Cheng is a person with big ideas, and those people under him only listen to him, and besides, they have indeed helped us, can you still tie him with a rope and prevent them from leaving?" Zhao Dacang was also a little reluctant, but his brain was faster than Huang Cheng's transfer, and he knew that he couldn't stop Tang Cheng from leaving, so it was better to be a favor, and it was difficult to guarantee that there would be no time to meet again in the future.

"Okay, there's nothing for us here, let's start preparing now, let's leave here tomorrow and go to Yunnan." It wasn't until he returned to his room that Tang Cheng let out a sigh of relief. Calling Hou San and the others to his room, Tang Cheng explained the preparations that needed to be made before leaving to everyone one by one.
