Chapter Fifty-Nine: See the Bandits Again
"What did the little guy's 1st Company do in Wangzhuang? I haven't heard of any arrangements over there for Head Liu. The 1st Company commanded by Tang Cheng suddenly drove to Wangzhuang two days later, claiming to be a camping exercise, but in the eyes of people like Li Linge and Ge Kunshan, the 1st Company's outing this time represents other meanings.
The checkpoint set by Liu Shanyang has not been withdrawn, and the young men who were intercepted by the soldiers of the garrison regiment have also been added to the garrison regiment one after another, and the garrison regiment has expanded from the original 500 people to 650 people. Among the three companies of the original garrison regiment, Tangcheng's 1st company had the largest number of people, 200 of the 500 people were occupied by him, and the other two companies only had 150 people each. After the number of garrison regiments was expanded to 650 people, Liu Shanyang formed 4 companies with the extra 150 people, and he personally served as the company commander of 4 companies.
If the garrison regiment was still only the original size of 500 people, maybe Ge Kunshan and Li Linge would not have said anything, but now that the garrison regiment has become the size of four companies, Ge Kunshan and Li Linge, who have been fighting in secret and-for-tat, have begun to think about it. Although Ge Kunshan and Li Linge both installed their own people in the garrison regiment and were also in charge of two of the companies, with the formation of the fourth company of the garrison regiment, Liu Shangyang and Tang Cheng had more than half of the total strength of the garrison regiment, which was not a good thing for Ge Kunshan and Li Linge.
As the president of the Mengcheng Chamber of Commerce, Li Linge has a keen sense of smell for some businessmen, and Ge Kunshan, who was born as an artillery commander, said that although he has been away from the army for many years, he still has some ability to see people. The cronies they planted in the garrison regiment were each in charge of a company, but those two companies could not be compared with Tang Cheng's first company in terms of combat effectiveness, and now with the 4 companies under the command of Liu Goat himself, the two companies that would never act together would definitely not be Liu Goat's opponent.
If this is the case, Ge Kunshan and Li Linge will pay so much attention to the movements of the garrison regiment, Tangcheng's 1st Company suddenly left the county seat and went to Wangzhuang, Ge Kunshan and Li Linge immediately got the news, they couldn't go directly to ask Liu Goat, so they had to gather their cronies to ponder the intention of the 1st Company to go to Wangzhuang. After pondering and pondering, neither Ge Kunshan nor Li Linge could figure out what Tang Cheng's 1st Company was going to do in Wangzhuang, but Liu Goat, the mastermind behind the scenes, took his 4th Company to train outside the city leisurely, completely ignoring Ge Kunshan and Li Linge's move of sending people to inquire about the news.
"The Spear Club was originally organized by the households in the Wangzhuang area in order not to be bullied by bandits, and at first the Lance Club was still the master of the people's affairs, but since the death of the previous president Wang Chengshan, the Spear Club has been divided because of the competition for the chairmanship. The spear club is now in charge of Wang Chuang, it is said that Wang Chengshan's righteous son, this person usually does not show the mountains and does not show water, in fact, he is a ruthless person, a year ago, the second young master of the county town Mi Xing was tied to the meat ticket may be Wang Chuang took people to do. ”
In order to train troops with bandits, Liu Goat arranged for many Mengcheng locals to collect intelligence early in the morning, according to the account book that Tang Cheng found in the bandits' den in Beishan, all the names on the list were checked by the spies released by Liu Goat, and this Wang Chuang was just ranked first. "Now everyone knows the way, our mission this time is Wang Chuang of this spear club, no matter whether this spear club can continue or not, this Wang Chuang must be defeated." In front of the platoon commander who started to get off work, Tang Cheng did not say the real reason for dealing with the spear club.
The strength of the garrison regiment has been expanding, and the required expenses are also constantly increasing, and it is difficult to support the expenses of the garrison regiment just by relying on the money and supplies obtained by Ge Kunshan, so Liu Shangao had to find another way to find a way to get money to maintain the daily expenses of the garrison regiment and the expenses required for training. The name of Wang Chuang and the Spear Club was first known by Liu Goat and Tang Cheng because of the account book of the Beishan bandits, Wang Chuang has been secretly helping the bandits in Beishan to sell the money and tobacco obtained from the robbery, and it is precisely because of this that Liu Goat will target Wang Chuang, who called his family rich.
When Tang Cheng rushed to Wangzhuang with the 1st Company, it was past noon, and the soldiers of the 1st Company, who were sweating, did not stop, but went directly to Wangzhuang and went straight to Wang Chuang's house. As the name suggests, most of the people who live here are people surnamed Wang, although Wang Chuang is only Wang Chengshan's righteous son, but he is in charge of the current spear club, and the family is rich and powerful, Wang Chuang is also a person with a head and a face in the entire Wang Zhuang, so hundreds of people rushed into Wang Zhuang at noon, Wang Chuang, a person with a head and a face, was naturally alarmed.
The sound of the 200 people in the 1st company stepping on the ground turned the originally quiet Wangzhuang into a busy city, and most of the people who farmed the fields remained in the fields at this time, and most of the people who came out to see the excitement in Wangzhuang were the old and weak women and children, and the 200 soldiers of the garrison regiment with loaded guns and ammunition frightened the old and weak women and children of Wangzhuang. "The strong man is coming, the strong man is coming." Walking in the first is wearing the national army uniform riding a big green horse in Tang Cheng, Wang Zhuang's old and weak women and children saw Tang Cheng's national army uniform, immediately made birds and beasts scattered, they thought that Tang Cheng was bringing people to Wang Zhuang to catch strong men.
Tang Cheng on horseback didn't pay attention to the old and weak women and children of Wangzhuang, but rode his horse along the main road of Wangzhuang, and when he passed a grocer, Tang Cheng on horseback glanced at it vaguely. The burden carried by the merchant was tied with some women's head ropes, hair flowers, etc., and when Tang Cheng squinted over, he happened to see a small homemade windmill tied to one end of the burden. Nodding slightly, Tang Cheng on horseback did not have the slightest intention of stopping, but continued to move forward in the direction of Wang Chuang's house.
The merchant who appeared in Wang Zhuang was one of the many spies sent by Liu Goat, and as long as Wang Chuang was at home, a small homemade windmill would appear at one end of the merchant's burden, and a wine gourd would appear on the contrary. These spies were not members of the garrison group, and Liu Goat found some poor people among the locals in Mengcheng through Tian Kui, and Liu Goat promised that after the garrison group raided the bandits or eliminated the bandits, he would give a part of the money collected to these spies.
"Who dares to come to our Spear Society's territory to find trouble?" The 1st Company on the march was stopped by someone on the street, and Tang Cheng on horseback looked at these green-skinned men wearing short waist tie belts, his eyes full of disdain and contempt. Green skins like this, Tang Cheng has seen too many in Beiping and Shanghai, Shanghai's Green Gang is a famous name, they don't dare to clash head-on with the army, I can't imagine that such a small place as Wangzhuang has a group of fools who dare to argue with the army, with these guys, Tang Cheng will have an excuse to pack up the spear and Wang Chuang.
"You don't fucking understand people, do you? Our third brother asked where did you get the call? What are you doing in our Lance Society's territory? Seeing that Tang Cheng ignored these green-skinned men, the rest of the 1st Company also directly ignored their clamour. Tang Cheng didn't say anything here, but the other party couldn't bear it, and a knife-faced guy shouted and stood up and pointed at Tang Cheng on horseback, "This kid is handsome, if he is sent to the store of Hua Gu in the provincial capital, maybe he will be a rabbit who can sign a tag." ”
Tang Cheng is young but has a lot of knowledge, he has been in the prosperous places of Beiping and Shanghai, he knows what the rabbit master means in the mouth of the man, and before he can pull out the shell gun on his waist, the long row of Liang Dahu who followed the big green horse couldn't help but stand up. It was just a simple stride and stab, and the man with the knife face was knocked to the ground by the rifle in Liang Dahu's hand that had not yet been bayonet, and raised one foot and stepped on the chest of the knife-faced man, Liang Dahu put the rifle in his hand flat and faced the green-skinned men in front of him.
It only took a few seconds for Liang Dahu to shoot the rifle flat, during which he didn't even say a word, and it was this sudden shot without sound that caused the extreme depression of dealing with several people. Tang Cheng, who had already drawn out the shell gun, did not dismount at all, but just made a gesture to Liang Dahu lightly, "pop" and "pop" two gunshots, and the knife-faced man who was overturned by Liang Dahu curled up on the ground and wailed miserably, and the two bullets shot by Tang Cheng accurately hit his two legs.
"Third brother, Xiaopi's two legs are useless, and he can't stand up even if healed." Tang Cheng on horseback did not stop the other party from dragging the knife face back, but the angry eyes of the third brother on the other side made Tang Cheng on horseback very unhappy. Hula a burst of footsteps, after Tang Cheng made a gesture, these green-skinned men who were glaring at Tang Cheng angrily were surrounded by Liang Dahu's platoon, Tang Cheng's 1st company was the company with the most routs in the entire garrison regiment, dealing with such a long-eyed green skin, these routs only needed a gun butt to solve them.
By the time those green-skinned men were dragged to Tang Cheng's horse covered in blood, the hatred that had just looked at Tang Cheng had long since disappeared, and was replaced by only deep fear. Tang Cheng on horseback played with the short gun that he had searched from the third brother, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, "You spear club people have such a big face and courage, you dare to bring a gun to rob our garrison in broad daylight, I think you are tired of it." ”
The 19-year-old Tang Cheng followed Robert to many places, and he also fought fierce battles with the Japanese army in Shanghai and Nanjing, but he was only a 19-year-old child after all. Lu met these green-skinned men after his reaction and words, Tang Cheng was completely imitating Liu Goat's usual appearance, if it was his own intention, he would never be able to do such a thing as shooting and injuring people in the street, and he would have to sit on horseback and pose as if I was very domineering.
