Chapter 19: Persuasion
"Company commander, it's done, I've already passed the news of the truck leaving the county tomorrow to Boss Hu, if that shriveled thing contacts the bandits, it may be tonight." When the drunken old Northeast replied, Tang Cheng was studying Steward Huang's account of the simple sand table built by Tang Cheng in the hall of the cyclamen. Like Niu Laogui, Lao Dongbei is also the first time to see such a thing as a sand table, but as soldiers, they have no way to touch this kind of thing, looking at Tang Cheng with all kinds of small flags on the sand table, Niu Laogui They are very curious.
"Knowing oneself and knowing that the other side can win all battles, this sand table not only allows us to be familiar with the terrain in the shortest possible time, but also uses the sand table to conduct tactical deduction when making plans, so as to find out the loopholes in the action plan and then improve the plan." Tang Cheng's words were a little difficult for the big guys Niu Lao Gui and Lao Dongbei to understand, but they all understood that this weird-looking thing was helpful for this crackdown on bandits.
"I just listened to Adjutant Huang's introduction to the terrain of Macheng guards, and I think that if the bandits are ready to attack the truck, this will be the best place for them to attack." The small black flag in Tang Cheng's hand was inserted on the sand table. "This is Sandaoling, there are three roundabout mountain roads connected together, the truck will definitely slow down here, otherwise there will be a possibility of rushing down the cliff, except here, I can't think of a suitable place for bandits to start."
"The most important thing is that Sandaoling is very suitable for cleaning up the scene after the bandits take action, pushing the looted trucks and corpses down the mountain, and even digging a pit is saved." Tang Cheng's next words made the few routs who wanted to surround stop their movements, no one wanted to die in vain, even if it was to suppress bandits, they lost their lives just for 10 oceans, they would not make a decision so rashly.
Tang Cheng glanced at the restless guys out of the corner of his eye, and then smiled and continued to explain the small flags on the sand table to Niu Laogui and them. "This is our top priority, Squad Leader Niu, I want you to take 50 soldiers of the garrison regiment to march here after dark today, you must rush here to ambush before breakfast, once we engage the bandits, you and your people must do your best to block the bandits' way, is there a problem?" Tang Cheng pointed out a point on the sand table and asked Niu Laogui to remember it carefully.
"Old Northeast, I will also give you 50 soldiers of the garrison regiment, you have to set off before dawn and rush here to ambush." Niu Laogui has already been assigned a task, and Tang Cheng will not leave the eager old northeast. Tang Cheng assigned Lao Dongbei the task of answering the back road to prevent the bandits who attacked the truck from returning the same way and escaping after being attacked by Niu Lao Gui and them.
"Jiujin, you and Kuroko will follow me tomorrow, and the three people under Shi and Kuroko will stay in the cyclamen to wait for us to come back, okay, the specific task is like this, let's go and prepare." From beginning to end, Tang Cheng didn't look directly at the few routs sitting in the corner of the cyclamen hall, Tang Cheng arranged the sand table in the hall, just to use the way of explaining the task layout to lead those rout soldiers to speak by themselves, Tang Cheng would not speak first before they took the initiative to speak.
Lao Dongbei did not fish for the Czech light machine gun this time, because in Tang Cheng's plan, the machine gun had to act with the truck. Niu Laogui and Lao Dongbei, who needed to prepare, left, and Jiujin also took Liu Shishi upstairs to prepare the machine gun, and only Tang Cheng and Heizi were still standing on the edge of the sand table in the hall, and of course there were a few routs who were strictly ordered to leave the cyclamen, "There is a problem with your plan, since you want to lure the snake out of the hole, you can't just block the two ends, you should arrange the ambush people." The smiling soldier stood up and walked to Tang Cheng's side.
Finally answered, Tang Cheng, who was secretly happy in his heart, pretended to be distressed and lit a cigarette for himself with a match, "No way, there are not enough people who can fight in hand, so we can only arrange it like this first, anyway, there are many of us, and when the time comes, we can squeeze those bandits to death, right?" "Someone is starting to answer, and Don City's first step has been achieved, which is a small trick learned from Robert. It is very difficult to proclaim God in front of non-believers, so in order to attract people to listen to his sermons, Robert often uses some small means to attract the attention of those people first, and then take the opportunity to draw in the relationship between the two parties, so as to achieve the purpose of preaching the doctrine.
Tang Cheng had used this kind of small trick just now, but he was not preaching doctrines to people, but wanted to use people's curiosity to pull these defeated soldiers recruited by Niu Laogui into his hands. Putting out the sand table just wanted to arouse their curiosity first, and then deliberately left loopholes in the tactical arrangement, as long as one of them came up to answer, it meant that they had wavered, as long as Tang Cheng showed his sincerity at this time, nine out of ten of these routs would join in this crackdown on bandits.
Tang Cheng's answer made the face of the rout who spoke and persuaded stiffen, compared with the previous arrangements in Tang Cheng, Tang Cheng's current words are simply bullshit, and there are not many people fighting this kind of ambush battle to lure the snake out of the hole. "I'll say a few, as the old saying goes, take people short and eat people with short mouths, a few of you have eaten and drunk here, since you know that I am short of manpower now, should you also help us appropriately." Tang Cheng, who was smoking a cigarette, looked at these guys who had unconsciously gathered around the sand table with a smile, and his eyes were full of smiles that had succeeded in his tricks.
Seeing that these guys were groaning and not speaking, Tang Cheng said with a smile, "You have also heard the arrangement just now, we have more than 150 people, as well as machine guns and mortars, just to deal with some bandits, the intensity of the battle should not be too great." Come to think of it, you can get 10 oceans in just one ambush without much danger, and I just need you to watch the novices of the garrison so that they don't collapse under the counterattack of the bandits. ”
There will be blood and casualties in a battle, of course, it will not be as light as Tang Cheng said, but Tang Cheng is right, this battle is just to deal with some bandits who are not in the stream. Several people glanced at each other, and the guy who always had a smile on his face nodded at Tang Cheng, "Since you, Company Commander Tang, can reward the brothers with a mouthful of food, then a few of us can't always be so confused, but the 10 oceans, you must give us at least half of them first, and we still owe money at the Chengdong Inn." ”
Seeing that these guys found by Niu Laogui left the cyclamen, Liu Shishi, who went out to inquire about the news, ran into the hall with a strange face, looked left and right at no one, and whispered a few words in Tang Cheng's ear. A horse-drawn carriage had already parked in the backyard of the cyclamen, and when Tang Cheng followed Liu Shi through the hall into the backyard, Madame Huang, who had just met Tang Cheng in the morning, was circling around the truck. "Company Commander Tang, we have a meeting." Mrs. Huang, who was still dressed in red, looked in a good mood.
Mrs. Huang's intention was something Tang Cheng would never have imagined, she came to chat with Tang Cheng, "Company Commander Tang, I was in a hurry in the morning, and I still have a lot of things to ask you." Seeing that Tang Cheng seemed to be very surprised by his arrival, the heroic Madam Huang smiled, "Don't worry, I came here to Hanju to know, and the housekeeper is outside the door." Listening to Madam Huang's words, Tang Cheng's eyes warmed up and looked at the gate in the backyard, and then waved towards the few red fire heads in the darkness.
"Company Commander Tang, how much do you know about the United States? Or do you have someone you know in the U.S.? Mrs. Huang went straight to the point and directly clarified her intentions, and after Tang Cheng left the Huang family in the morning, Mrs. Huang had been thinking about going to the United States. Not to mention a small county town like Macheng, even in a big city like Wuhan, people with such thoughts as Mrs. Huang are rare. Mrs. Huang, who had been thinking about it all day and had no idea, had to come to visit Tang Cheng, she wanted to know more about the United States from Tang Cheng.
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Huang, I haven't been to the United States once, and my American passport was obtained for me by my adoptive father, or after my adoptive father was poisoned by the Japanese, I only found out about this thing." Tang Cheng didn't want to mention this matter again, but in the face of Mrs. Huang's eyes, Tang Cheng could only tell the truth. Tang Cheng's answer somewhat disappointed Mrs. Huang, and chatted with Tang Cheng for a while, and Mrs. Huang, who could not hide her disappointment, said goodbye and left, but Tang Cheng was a little confused by Mrs. Huang's intention.
As night fell, Tang Cheng, who was puzzled, no longer thought about Madame Huang's true intentions, but began to prepare for tomorrow's battle. According to Tang Cheng's plan, Niu Laogui and 50 soldiers of the garrison regiment will leave the county seat after midnight and rush to Sandaoling.
"Company Commander Tang, don't worry, my brothers have sealed the city gate, and no matter who they are, they won't be able to leave the city before dawn." Huang San, who had followed Steward Huang to the cyclamen, was now the liaison between Captain Huang and Tang Cheng, and at the same time, Huang San was also the captain of the Huang family's nursing team, and he was absolutely loyal to Captain Huang. Huang San's words reminded Tang Cheng of Li Linge in Mengcheng, Li Linge is also a person who responds to all calls in Mengcheng, after Mengcheng was broken by the Japanese army, there was no news of Li Linge in Tangcheng, and compared with Huang Tuanchang, Li Linge seemed to be more public.
"Sleep and leave on time tomorrow morning." It was not until the news that Niu Laogui had taken people out of the city came to the news, and the sleepy Tang Cheng went upstairs to sleep. There may be a bloody battle tomorrow or maybe it's just a simple ambush, but Tang Cheng doesn't care about these anymore, the plan has been formulated, and Niu Laogui has already led people to set off according to the plan, no matter what tomorrow will be, Tang Cheng will implement it according to the plan.
