Chapter 120: Preparing for Another Battle
At first, when they were not familiar with Tang Cheng, these people from the Sichuan army were not very good, but now Tang Cheng seemed to be bluffing, so several Zhang Leshan's cronies immediately clamored. "Ge Laozi, who is your little white face scolding? It was Lao Tzu who fired the gun first, what can you do with Lao Tzu. Being scolded by Tang Cheng like this, Cao Dalu, who was standing in the crowd, immediately couldn't help it, he was also a battalion commander anyway, and being insulted by a captain like this, Cao Dalu's endurance was not so high.
A few people around Cao Dalu went to stop him, but he didn't stop this reckless guy, Cao Dalu, who didn't care about it, relied on himself as the battalion commander, and squeezed out the crowd and stood in front of Tang Cheng without care. "Is that the gun you fired first without respecting the military order?" Tang Cheng glanced at Cao Dalu, asked the question just now, and got Cao Dalu's still nonchalant answer, Tang Cheng suddenly smiled. "It's good that someone admits the account, but I'm afraid that the person who did this will not dare to admit it, and I'm afraid that the brothers who died won't be able to close their eyes, and with you going down to accompany them, I think these brothers who died unjustly can finally close their eyes."
Tang Cheng's words made Cao Dalu a little stunned, hearing that this meant to kill himself to bury the robes that died in battle, Cao Dalu couldn't help but snort a little, he didn't believe that Tang Cheng had the guts, he was a member of the Sichuan army. Cao Dalu didn't care, but Tang Cheng couldn't speak and didn't count, "snap" The shell gun in Tang Cheng's hand was fired again, all the Sichuan soldiers were dumbfounded, the hot bullet casings had not yet landed, and Cao Dalu, who was still arrogant just now, had fallen heavily on the road like a wooden pile.
"Battalion Commander Cao is dead, dead." Looking at the red plasma that flowed out of Cao Dalu, the people of the Sichuan army were dumbfounded, no one thought that Tang Cheng would suddenly shoot Cao Dalu. The guys who were standing with Cao Dalu just now had already squeezed out of the crowd and rushed towards Tang Cheng, shouting words like revenge for Camp Chief Cao. With the continuous sound of gunshots, a neat gray pillar fluttered up in front of the feet of several people, looking at the barge gun in Tang Cheng's hand that was still smoking green, these guys stopped in unison.
"I don't care if he is a soldier or an officer, before disobeying orders, he should think carefully about the consequences." Tang Cheng changed the shell gun in his hand with a spare magazine, and seemingly unintentionally swept around the few guys who were staring at him with the shell gun in his hand. "I don't have so many bullets, if a few of you also want to disobey, please tell me in advance, I will leave a few bullets for you, and save yourself from finding bullets when the time comes, I am not used to killing people with bayonets."
Tang Cheng fired a gun here, and the old northeast who was standing on the side with his team of Sichuan troops immediately held the light machine gun in his arms, and a string of bullets flew out, followed by the shouts of the old northeast. "I see which of you dares to move, try to move one, and see if Lao Tzu's machine gun can kill people." The light machine gun is more deterrent than the barge gun, especially after Lao Dongbei fired a string of bullets, he has already stood beside Tang Cheng with the light machine gun, and the only one who dares to play with his own life is Cao Dalu, and the rest of these guys will not be as stupid as him.
Seeing that these Sichuan soldiers were completely honest, Tang Cheng asked Wang Jiang to take people to clean up the traces left on the battlefield, and the wounded and the corpses of the Sichuan soldiers who died in the battle had to be separated separately, as for the corpses of those Japanese soldiers, they just dug a pit and buried them. "We rescued a live one from the little devil's mortar position, but this kid didn't say anything, and I couldn't ask anything." Tang Cheng looked in the direction of Lao Dongbei's finger, and a man in black who was squatting on the ground with a bruised face appeared in Tang Cheng's sight.
As soon as Lao Northeast mentioned this, Tang Cheng remembered another thing, his side and the more than 30 Japanese soldiers who pursued him were fighting so hotly, where did the three guys who were chased by the Japanese army go all the way? "Chief Tang, the brothers caught the three guys who were hiding over there, they said that they are also national soldiers, I will bring them to you to see." There will be some such coincidental things in the world, Tang Cheng just thought of this matter, and the Sichuan troops who followed Lao Northeast to defeat the Japanese mortar position had already captured those three guys.
"The Thomson submachine gun uses a 30-round magazine." Lao Dongbei is very rare to fiddle with the submachine gun in his hand, this thing is not common in China, but Tang Cheng has seen such imported products a few times in Shanghai. Tang Cheng was able to accurately recognize the Thomson submachine gun, which surprised the three men who were still alive, they already knew that these were all people from the Sichuan army, but the Sichuan army was not even equipped with rifles, how could anyone among them know the Thomson submachine gun.
"We are the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army?" The identities of the other three made Tang Cheng confused, he had never heard of such a force, and turned his head to look at Lao Dongbei, who also slowly shook his head to say that he didn't know. Tang Cheng didn't seem to believe the three of them, and the man led by the other three was a little anxious, "Our Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is under the control of the army, so we are not in the sequence of the national army." The other party explained carefully, Tang Cheng could be regarded as understanding, and after a long time, this anti-Japanese National Salvation Army was just like the guerrillas of the Communist Party, and it was also a unit operating behind enemy lines.
"My name is Sun Guohua, and I am also the captain of this small unit." The man who was the leader of the three reported his name and tried to get closer to Tang Cheng. "The person over there is also ours, my subordinate who is in charge of the radio station, I hope you can give him back." The person Sun Guohua said was the bruised man from the old Northeast who had returned from the Japanese army, and Tang Cheng nodded in agreement.
Asked by Tang Cheng why he was pursued by the Japanese army, Sun Guohua immediately turned cold, "We received the news three days ago, saying that after Paishi had been attacked by the Japanese army, the Japanese army began to collect grain in this area, so we are going to ambush the Japanese army's grain collection team in this area." At first, it was quite smooth, but I didn't expect the Japanese army to set a trap for us after reacting, fortunately, you guys were killed halfway, otherwise even a few of us might not survive. ”
Hearing that Sun Guohua and the others had fought with the Japanese army many times in this area, Tang Cheng took out his map and asked Sun Guohua to point out the location of the firefight. "Obediently, you seized it from the little devil, you even have Li Jiashan on it." The military map of the Japanese army that Tang Cheng took out made Sun Guohua covet it very much, saying that if he had such a military map in his hand, he would not be chased by the Japanese army and hide everywhere.
For Sun Guohua's compliment, Tang Cheng just smiled but did not speak, and connected the places pointed out by Sun Guohua on the map with a line, and Tang Cheng got a circle, and the center of the circle was Li Jiashan. "My guide said that a few days ago, someone saw a large number of Japanese troops infesting Lijiashan. Most of the positions where you and the Japanese army exchanged fire are around Li Jiashan, I wonder if there will be chair Japanese troops stationed in Li Jiashan, according to the practice of the Japanese army, it should be the size of a squadron. ”
Tang Cheng's analysis made Sun Guohua nod his head with deep sympathy, and at the same time, he also sighed secretly in his heart, lamenting why he hadn't thought about these things. "So what do you do now? There are only four of you left, and if you want to cross the river, you can leave with our men transporting the wounded. After getting the information he wanted, Tang Cheng began to think that Sun Guohua and a few others were in the way.
"And what about the rest of you? Don't you cross the river with us? Although it was Tang Cheng's sudden action to save him, Sun Guohua didn't think that these Sichuan troops could really continue to move north of Fushui. Seeing that Tang Cheng was still looking down at the map, Sun Guohua suddenly realized, could it be that this young and bold guy was going to take the rest of the people to Lijiashan? This idea only flashed in Sun Guohua's mind, but he didn't ask it, because he didn't think Tang Cheng would really do that.
Tang Cheng didn't have time to deal with Sun Guohua, he secretly calculated in his heart the number of these Sichuan troops after eliminating the casualties, crossing the river to find the Japanese army to fight, it was a matter of nine deaths, but if he was completely sure, Tang Cheng would not take the risk. 100 Sichuan soldiers eliminated 32 casualties, and Tang Cheng was able to use only 68 people, which was good if he met the Japanese army on the scale of a squadron, but if he faced the Japanese army on the scale of a squadron, he would only have the life of turning around and fleeing.
Everything has both sides of the pros and cons, and while Tang Cheng secretly calculated all the unfavorable factors, he also pondered where his side had an advantage. The lack of sufficient troops is a big problem faced by Tang Cheng, but not everything is bad, at least Tang Cheng has three light machine guns and 2 mortars for the remaining 60 people, and if such firepower is really against the Japanese army formed by the squadron, it is not impossible to defeat the other side.
"You say fight, let's fight, you and I have a big boss to discuss something, and you don't have to be so polite to those Zichuan troops." was told by Tang Cheng to continue fighting, and Lao Dongbei did not have any impatient expression on his face. When I followed Niu Laogui to join the second company in Macheng, not only for those few mouthfuls of food, but also for the most important thing to follow Tangcheng to fight and have the opportunity to kill the little devil. The battle of Xiaojieling and the battle of Huandiqiao Town after crossing the river have made Lao Dongbei see Tang Cheng's ability, can he say that he is unwilling to follow Tang Cheng to fight, and is ready to go back and be a rout who is looked down upon.
"Then let's go, let Wu Laosan lead the way, let's go to Zhoujiawan first, I heard Wu Laosan say that there are several places suitable for ambushes in Zhoujiawan, let's go over and see the terrain first." Sending off the wounded soldiers and Sun Guohua, the rest of Tang Cheng's side are all guys who move freely, and there are only a few miles left to rush to Zhoujiawan from here, and for them, it is as normal as eating.
