Tang Cheng, who was coaxed into the car by Lian Tie, didn't know where he was pulled, and when he got out of the car, he found that he had arrived in the suburbs, and when he looked carefully at the surrounding terrain, he found that he had arrived in Yangshupu. As the elite of the national army, the 88th Division was regarded as a descendant of the tiger by Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, and the number of the division had reached more than 14,000 people, and it was impossible for such a large-scale transfer of a force to avoid the Japanese spies, so Xie Bo's 1st Battalion was the first batch of vanguard troops to enter Shanghai in advance to fight the front station, and the follow-up troops of the 88th Division could not arrive here until night.

Xie Bo, who rushed back to the camp, did not stop long to report the results of the investigation to the battalion commander, and Tang Cheng, who saw fresh everywhere, was taken to their newly dug trench by Liu Goat. "Old goat, what is this baby for? Why did you bring him into our trenches, and be careful that the commander sees it and punishes you to dig a hole. Xie Laoliu, a veteran who was in the same row as Liu Goat, looked at Tang Cheng, who was dressed as a student, and turned his head to look at Liu Goat, his eyes full of questions. Like other veterans, these veterans rarely talk to newcomers, especially Liu Goat, who suddenly brought back such a kid, isn't Liu Goat like that tune?

"What are you shitty fooling about? This kid is the little brother we recognized by Lianza, and he helped us a lot today, and he was brought back by Lianzao, and it has nothing to do with Lao Tzu. The hidden meaning in Xie Laoliu's eyes showed Liu Goat the truth, and Liu Goat, whose old face was tight, took a spit, and then took Tang Cheng, who looked around and looked around curiously, to Xie Bo's headquarters.

"Lian Commander Xie lives in such a place, can this live?" Xie Bo is just a small company commander, even if he is a protégé of the Son of Heaven and born in Huangpu, but in the 88th Division, there are mostly officers from Huangpu, and it is already very good for him to have a command headquarters, and after the arrival of the main force of the division headquarters, other company commanders do not have this treatment. "Isn't it possible for our national army to requisition private houses? Why didn't Company Commander Xie take you to the house, why did you have to sleep in this moat? Isn't it cold at night? ”

Liu Goat finally understood Tang Cheng's chatter, and since he entered the trench, Tang Cheng's mouth has not been heard, and Liu Goat who asked if he wanted to strangle this kid alive. It was easy to prevaricate Tang Cheng a few words to send this kid away, but Tang Cheng became interested in Xie Bo's military uniform hanging in the command headquarters, if it weren't for Liu Goat's close attention, he would have to wear it on himself and try his addiction to being an officer.

"I said you kid can't stop for a while? Is this chief's thing moving casually? Be careful to come back and skin you after a while. Liu Goat really couldn't take care of the energetic Tang Cheng, so he had to use words to coerce and move Xie Bo out. In the end, Liu Goat unloaded his shell gun and threw it to Tang Cheng to play with, which calmed Tang Cheng, "Oh, what did I do in my last life, why did I bring back such a young master as you." ”

"What are you whining about? I heard it from far away. "Xie Bo's people haven't entered the headquarters yet, and the voice came in first, it's not easy for a veteran like Liu Goat to shout a headache, and Xie Bo, who has finished the report, looks much better." What do you think? Little brother, are we having fun here? As soon as Xie Bo stepped into his headquarters, he saw Tang Cheng who was fiddling with the shell gun, and after receiving the hint from Liu Goat, Xie Bo put his mind at ease and gave the shell gun to this kid as a toy to fiddle with, and Liu Goat, who also lost money, could think of it.

"Hello sir, my name is Tang Cheng, you can also call me Tiger Head." Seeing that Xie Bo was back, Tang Cheng, who hurriedly got up, put down the shell gun in his hand and gave Xie Bo a military salute, but the plane looked a little awkward. Seeing that Liu Goat looked like he wanted to laugh immediately, Tang Cheng explained with a dark face, "The priest who adopted me was a soldier before, and he said that this is how the American army salutes, and I have never seen your military salutes. ”

"Well, you're right, military salutes are different in different countries, but do you know the origin of the military salute?" Xie Bo smiled and motioned for Tang Cheng to sit down and speak, and then continued, "Our Chinese military salute originated from the Western Zhou Dynasty, and it is one of the Western Five Rituals, which is used for conquest and military activities. There are many kinds of military salutes we use now, and what you just used is a daily hand salute, which stipulates that you wear a military uniform and a military hat or do not wear a military cap, and usually do a hand salute. However, the salute of our national army should be to raise the right hand from the chest, the right arm is at the same height as the shoulder, the forearm and palm are in a straight line, the five fingers are together, and the palm is slightly turned outward 30 degrees. When wearing a hat, the middle finger of the right hand is attached to the brim of the hat 2 cm, and when not wearing a hat, the middle finger is slightly attached to the temple. ”

Liu Goat didn't know what Xie Bo's intention was to talk to Tang Chuan about the military salute, but Tang Chuan listened attentively, and with Xie Bo's narration, Tang Cheng couldn't help but repeat the salute action. "Yes, your arms are shoulder-high, and your fingers should be together." Xie Bo carefully corrected Tang Cheng's movements, and also took his military hat and put it on Tang Cheng's head, comparing Tang Cheng's position with 2 centimeters outside the brim.

"Little brother, we're here, it's fun, right? Otherwise, don't go back to your church, just stay with us, and I'll teach you more things after I sit down, he graduated from Whampoa and knows a lot more. Seeing that Tang Cheng was having fun, Liu Goat, who was sitting on the side and wiping his gun, asked tentatively. Xie Bo is now teaching Tang Cheng these things, the recruits of the supplementary regiment have to learn for several days, and when they meet such a good seedling with a bright heart, Liu Goat said that he would leave Tang Cheng behind.

"A good man is not a soldier, he is not a nail, and at the beginning of the fight, you brought me to you, and I knew that there was nothing good about it." Tang Cheng pouted towards Liu Goat, "The priest has adopted me for so many years, I want to give him a pension and send him to the end of his life, it's not impossible to be a soldier with you to eat food, but I have to wait until the priest goes to heaven, not now." Tang Cheng couldn't stop shaking his head, and there was a hint of warmth in his expression, if Tang Cheng, who was an orphan, still had any concerns in this world, it was Father Robles in the church, although the bearded priest was a yellow-haired and blue-eyed man, Tang Cheng still treated him as a relative.

"How old is that priest of yours?" Tang Cheng's refusal did not surprise Liu Goat, but Tang Cheng said that he would wait until the priest died before considering becoming a soldier, if the priest was an old man who was about to enter the ground, there would be room for negotiation in this matter.

"Wait a minute, I'll calculate how old Father Robert is this year." Tang Cheng crossed his fingers and counted carefully, and then replied, "Father Robert said that he came to China 20 years ago, and the priest said that he was 25 years old when he came to China, 20 plus 25, which means that Father Robert is at least 45 years old this year, and I think it may take many years for him to go to see God." ”

Looking at Tang Cheng who was frowning at Xie Bo, where would Liu Goat not know that he was being teased by Tang Cheng, but Xie Bo was still here, and he didn't know what to do to Tang Cheng, so he had to wipe his shell gun desperately, I am afraid that Liu Goat has regarded the shell gun in his hand as Tang Cheng's torture at this time. "Tang Cheng, but what Uncle Goat said is right, since Father Robert is now in the prime of life, there is no need for you to talk about the matter of pension and death, why don't you come to us to be a soldier, contribute to the country, and drive the Japanese out of China as soon as possible, and the people will be able to live a good life one day earlier." Xie Bo looked at Tang Cheng quietly, waiting for Tang Cheng's answer.

Xie Bo has a good impression of Tang Cheng, but it doesn't mean that Tang Cheng must be brought into the army, especially since Tang Cheng and him only have one side. However, when he wandered around the Japanese concession during the day, Xie Bo found that Tang Cheng could actually speak Japanese and understand Japanese signboards, from Tang Cheng's interest in military affairs, it is not difficult to see that this kid is very yearning for being a soldier to fight, let him be buried in the prosperity of the city, it is too tyrannical, Xie Bo is ready to pull Tang Cheng into his company, if there is a person in his company who can speak and write Japanese, Xie Bo naturally knows what this means.

Facing Xie Bo's gaze, Tang Cheng was a little shaken, but he still shook his head after the most reluctance, "Sir Xie, it's not that I, Tang Cheng, it's a big deal, being a soldier is a big deal, Father Robert raised me so big, such a big matter naturally has to go back and discuss it with him before it can be decided, I can't answer you now." Although Tang Cheng was very interested in the affairs of the army, especially the military uniform that Xie Bo hung in the headquarters, the rank mark on the collar made Tang Cheng almost unable to pull out his eyes, and the shell gun that Liu Goat held in his hand, Tang Cheng really wanted to discuss this matter with Robert, otherwise he would be too ruthless.

Xie Bo also knew that Lu Dao relied on his friendship with Tang Cheng for a day, and it was impossible for him to come to be a soldier with only a few words, and he knew that this kid was a man who didn't worry about food and clothing. The army is a place where sweat and blood will even lose their lives, although Tang Cheng is much stronger than the recruits of the supplementary regiment, but it is not enough to judge Tang Cheng to be suitable for soldiers just by saluting and standing upright, and there is also a big trouble with the American priest, if you really use force to keep Tang Cheng in his second company, and wait for the American priest to come to the door, then the entire 524 regiment will not make a fuss.

"Okay, let's go, go to dinner first, after dinner, I'll ask someone to send you back, let you eat the food in the army today, your student friends don't have this opportunity." Xie Bo gave Liu Goat a look, and the latter had no choice but to go out of the gang to beckon the man in the company to bring food. The steamed buns and vegetable soup were full, and Tang Cheng also learned to drink the vegetable soup like Xie Bo and Liu Goat, but turned a blind eye to the canned beef that Xie Bo Yi opened, which made Liu Goat secretly praise in his heart.
