The number of Japanese troops in Hexi Village was indeed small, and the Su Datong Company, which feinted at the entrance of the village, relied on the cover of machine gun fire provided by Lao Dongbei, and rushed into the village with only one charge, and the platoon that came from the flank attacked the Japanese troops in the village on both sides. Seeing that the national army was overwhelming, the Japanese army that could not resist could only retreat, and resisted with the help of houses as a cover, Niu Laogui's entry finally became the last straw that crushed the Japanese army.

The gunfire gradually stopped, and all that remained in the village was the movement of the Nationalist soldiers rummaging through the wounded Japanese soldiers, and the occasional wail of the Japanese soldiers before they died. "Old Northeast, take your people to search the village, see if there are any people alive, and take anyone to the entrance of the village. Uncle Niu, you take our people and Company Commander Su to clean up the battlefield together, time waits for no one, there is a radio station for the Japanese army here, I am afraid that there are Japanese troops around, and our movement just now is not small. ”

Tang Cheng didn't plan to stay in Hexi Village for too long, the second company could only keep moving to have a chance to live, if they were entangled by the Japanese army alone, then waiting for the second company was only a dead end, Tang Cheng didn't believe that the 30th Army would send troops to rescue the second company. There would be no time to carefully clean the battlefield and count the casualties, Tang Cheng was only interested in heavy firepower weapons and grenades, and the Japanese army was equipped with 38 rifles, and Tang Passengers was not interested.

Su Datong had the heart to thank him again, but he was a veteran, and he knew that what Tang Cheng said just now was right, so he had to clench his fists from afar, and then took his soldiers who could still move to follow Niu Laogui to clean up the battlefield. Tangcheng is not rare for the Japanese army's 38 rifles, but Su Datong is rare, as long as it is a gun, it can kill people, and the Japanese army's 38 rifles are much better than Su Datong's old sleeve.

More than 80 Japanese soldiers in Hexi Village were killed, Tangcheng only needed grenades and a small number of bullets on the corpses of the Japanese soldiers, and the remaining dozens of rifles and ammunition belonged to Su Datong. "Company Commander Tang, this will really thank you, if it weren't for you, my brothers and I might have fed the wolves in the corpse wilderness long ago, if you have anything in the future, just say it, as long as I Su Datong can do it, there is no other thing." The speed of cleaning the battlefield of dozens of people was very fast, and Su Datong finally had the opportunity to thank Tang Cheng.

"With Company Commander Su, you can just say this, since they are all troops of the national army, there is nothing to thank or not thank, can you say that your Company Commander Su saw our second company being chased and beaten by little devils, and you can not stand by and watch it coldly." When he was in Mengcheng and Macheng, Tang Cheng never thought about befriending the national army, but the unjustified disaster in Wuhan reminded him. It's not a bad thing to make a few more friends, as the old saying goes, feng shui takes turns for thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, who knows if a guy like Su Datong will go in the future and go to the top of the shit, anyway, it's a matter of Lang taking some saliva.

Tang Cheng's interest made Su Datong's mood even better, and it was true that the second company rescued him, but it was obviously impossible for him to think about Tang Cheng's good all his life, but Tang Cheng's current attitude was very much in his mind. "This surnamed Su is not a good person, be careful of him, it's best not to get too close to him." Niu Laogui, who was standing behind Tang Cheng, reminded in a whisper, Tang Cheng nodded and said yes, it is convenient for him to be with others, Tang Cheng is just a friend of Su Datong on the scene, and he doesn't have much affection for this person.

"Take the radio in this room and we'll go back." The radio stations in the house had been packed up and could be taken away at any time, Tang Cheng picked up the leather bag full of pieces of paper in one hand, and led the little girl's hand in the other hand to order a retreat. The task of the second company is to go out to search and clear out the Japanese scout troops, but the capture of the Japanese radio station is not a trivial matter, not to mention the attack on Hexi Village, the second company also has casualties, as long as the radio station is in hand, Tang Cheng believes that those people in the 30th Army will not do anything to themselves.

"Girl, go with my brother, and my brother will take you to a safe place." Out of the courtyard, Tang Cheng put the little girl who was still trembling timidly on his back, and only found 6 living people in the entire Hexi Village, except for the three old men who were forced to sit at the entrance of the village by the Japanese army before, there was only one middle-aged couple left, counting the little girl on Tang Cheng's back There were exactly 6 people. The corpses of the Japanese soldiers in Hexi Village were all over the ground, and the six people who were still alive could not continue to live here, and Tang Cheng planned to send them to the Yellow Mansion in Macheng to live temporarily after returning to hand over the order.

Turning over several hills all the way in the direction they came, Tang Cheng, who was already exhausted, finally met the scouts of the 30th Army stationed in front of the battle line, and were led by the scouts of the 30th Army and bypassed a hill and a large woods, and Tang Cheng and his party finally saw the inhabited population. The national army confronted the Japanese army in Xiaojieling, and the people in the confrontation area were all moving in the direction of Macheng, and the place where they were now in Tangcheng was the place where the national army temporarily accommodated the people.

The troops on guard were obviously from the 30th Army, and Su Datong walked all the way without the embarrassment of being pursued by the Japanese army, and kept greeting the Japanese-style national soldiers around him with a smile on his face. From the moment he met these people, Tang Cheng felt that the people and soldiers around him were staring at him with very curious eyes, which made him at a loss. He pondered it carefully, and was happy, no wonder, Tang Cheng is now a serious captain and officer of the national army, this is a combat zone, a captain of the national army appeared here with a little girl on his back, no wonder those people and soldiers looked at him with strange eyes.

Tang Cheng didn't care about smiling at those people, and the people and the eight soldiers who were looking at him also responded with a faint smile on their faces, and no longer looked at him with strange eyes. It's just that some seven or eight-year-old children are still smiling and staring at him from afar, as if they are looking at a rare thing, and the little girl lying on Tang Cheng's back just shrunk her face around Tang Cheng's neck and secretly looked at those children with the corner of her eye.

With Su Datong there, there was no need to report the number of the second company, and Tang Cheng and his party followed Su Datong to turn left and right into the village. "Wait here, I'll go inside and tell the regiment commander." Several of their officers were taken into a courtyard, and the soldiers of the second company were arranged to rest in the shade of a tree outside the courtyard. Looking around the empty courtyard, Tang Cheng, who was carrying the little girl on his back, walked to the stone table in the middle of the courtyard, pulled a long bench for the little girl to sit down, and Tang Cheng took out the kettle and fed the little girl one bite at a time.

Tang Cheng had already sat down with the little girl, Niu Laogui and they naturally couldn't stand, they sat on the stool with a stool, and if they didn't have a stool, they sat directly on their steel helmets, took out cigarettes and lit a big mouthful of smoke and smoke. Tang Cheng didn't plan to stay here, but the people outside the village who were temporarily accommodating him changed his mind, the middle-aged couple who survived had already found acquaintances in the crowd, maybe it would be better to leave the little girl to those people than to send them to Macheng.

"Which one is Company Commander Tang? Our regimental commander told you to come in. Tang Cheng was thinking about how to talk to this silent little girl, and the sentry who went into the house with Su Datong came out. Seeing that only the sentry came out alone, Niu Laogui's eyes couldn't help flashing a trace of anger, this Su Datong is really not a good person, just found their people, and they have already begun to distance themselves from the second company, and they knew that Lu Dao should not have spent a bullet to save them.

What does Niu Laogui think, Tang Cheng doesn't know the way, even if he knows the way, he is afraid that he will only laugh it off. Leaving the little girl who was tightly pulling his sleeves to Niu Laogui to take care of, Tang Cheng got up and entered the house. The stone house was not very big, and as soon as Tang Cheng entered the door, he saw Su Datong whispering something to a lieutenant colonel officer with his sleeves up, Tang Cheng didn't pay attention to it, but just saluted first according to the rules of the army and then reported his unit number and name.

"Are you from the 88th Division? How did it come to the defense line of our 30th Army? Although he had already learned Tang Cheng's identity and unit number from Su Datong, after Tang Cheng reported his home, this burly lieutenant colonel officer couldn't help but ask. was able to rescue Su Datong twice and successfully besiege a Japanese squad, this combat power was also well-known in the 30th Army, and Tang Cheng's age looked like he had just become an adult, so he was very curious about Tang Cheng.

"After our second company retreated from Mengcheng, it was stationed in Macheng, and after defeating the Japanese Mitsui squadron in Macheng's dry grass ditch, it suffered heavy casualties, and was transferred back to Wuhan by the division headquarters to garrison and recuperate. This time, it was because of the order of the Ministry of Military Affairs to participate in the battle on the Xiaojieling front, and the order given to us was to obey the command of the 30th Army, and the task of the second company now was to go forward to search for and clear the Japanese scout troops. "The second company came to the Xiaojieling front line by order of the Ministry of Military Affairs, and there are too many things involved, Tang Cheng can only roughly explain it, but other things are not mentioned.

"Commander Qiu, after the attack on Hexi Village, we also captured a few Japanese radio stations in the village, as well as some paper recorded in Japanese, all of which had to be sent to the military headquarters immediately. I would like to ask Regiment Commander Qiu to do us a favor and provide us with a few horses, and there are many wounded in the second company, so we will stay here for rest and recuperate, and when my men come back from the military headquarters, the horses will be replaced. After a few words of greeting with Head Qiu, Tang Cheng said his request, although Head Qiu was embarrassed, he didn't have the words to agree.

"Uncle Niu, I'll take a few people to send the radio station and this bag to the military headquarters of the 30th Army, you bring people to guard our people, if there is a conflict with the people of the 30th Army, you can bear it, and everything will be said when I come back." Commander Qiu only provided Tang Cheng with 8 horses, comforted the little girl who was pulling his clothes, and Tang Cheng took the sunspots and the radio stations and rode straight to the garrison of the 30th Army.
