Chapter III Tasks
was accused by the other party with a gun and a stick, Liu Goat, who was blue-faced, turned around and looked at Tang Cheng without saying a word, Tang Cheng, who was stared at by Liu Goat, was bitter in his mouth, and he was also complaining that he was cheap, and honestly followed everyone together to see how good it was, why do you have to have that mouth. Tang Cheng, who was also angry, couldn't help but glared at Niu Wazi and Jiujin, they didn't know anything about these two things, if they hadn't gone to the positions of other troops to follow the machine guns, they wouldn't have provoked the other party to run to accuse Liu Goat.
"Forget it, forget it, no matter what, we are all members of the national army, although no one cares about your second company, I haven't heard of bragging about beheading." The officer with his sleeves wrapped his arms grinned and hugged Liu Goat's shoulders and smiled, "Old Liu, don't say that your brother doesn't give you face, this robbery of ordnance is to be locked up and whipped, we are all acquaintances, I think it's okay, ask your two subordinates to apologize to my brothers, forget it, what do you think?" ”
As soon as the officer's words fell, Tang Cheng, who was standing behind Liu Goat, knew that something bad was going to happen, don't look at Liu Goat's appearance as a veteran ruffian, but Liu Goat was full of arrogance in his bones, if he hadn't looked at Xie Bo at the beginning, Liu Goat would not have stayed in the second company at all, he should have been transferred to the regiment commander as a guard squad leader. "You let go of the two of my people first, and you will make people look like they are going to be sent to the execution ground." The Japanese planes bombed for only a while, and it would have calmed down and the world was peaceful, so Liu Goat also had time to fight with the other party.
Tang Cheng naturally wouldn't follow the side to watch the excitement, bypassing the heartless cow baby, Tang Cheng dragged the unknown nine catties to help them clean up the mess after the bombing. "You follow me honestly, don't run blindly with Niu Wazi, they said that the city gate is now very tightly checked, and when I get the pass, we will leave." Pulling Jiujin and whispering a few words, Tang Cheng helped the mill to send the two injured guys in the second company back to the small courtyard, and by the way, the collapsed courtyard gate was rebuilt with broken bricks and stones.
"Didn't fight" Niu Wazi, who ran to inquire about the news, came back with a swollen face, saying that he was slapped by Liu Goat, but Liu Goat and the other party did not fight, and finally a major of the teaching corps came forward, and the two sides shook hands with a straight face, but the second company was also imposed by the major of the teaching corps with a task of going out to be vigilant.
"It's not a big task, it is said that the defenders deployed in Chunhua Town have exchanged fire with the Japanese army's forward, and the headquarters is responsible for defending the Zhonghua Gate, and our second company is asked to search for possible Japanese infiltration troops within 5 to 10 miles outside the Zhonghua Gate." Liu Goat, who came back with a black face, sulked a little, "The teaching team of the dog day is to see that our second company is not pleasing to the eye, so they will search for the Japanese infiltration troops, isn't it just watching our people dangling at the city gate and obstructing their eyes." ”
Looking at Liu Goat with an angry face, Tang Cheng didn't know whether Lu Dao should persuade or not, although Tang Cheng had not been in contact with the national army for a long time, he also knew that Lu Dao Liu Goat's character and temper were unacceptable, otherwise the second company would be split by other troops or pulled up to fight to the death sooner or later. This time, the second company was not transferred to Yuhuatai to repair the fortifications, mainly because the people in the second company were the remaining soldiers of the first battalion, and the entire first battalion was taken by the deputy commander to stay in Shanghai for the whole division.
"Then eat, after eating, Grinder, you take a few people to teach the corps to get ammunition, let's go out of the city after dark." Regardless of whether Tang Cheng wanted to or not, Liu Goat threw out two sets of military uniforms from the house to Tang Cheng and Jiujin, and then angrily locked himself in the room and slept sulking. Deliberately not looking at the nine catties who were a little eager to try, Tang Cheng, who held the military uniform in his hand, raised his legs and walked towards the house where Liu Goat was sleeping, but was stopped by the mill who didn't like to talk.
"Brother, do you have to go? How nice it is to stay with us in Erlian, just like when we were in Thousand Lights Town. Nianzi took the military uniform jacket in Tang Cheng's hand and shook it open, and the logo of the superior soldier on the collar had become a non-commissioned officer logo with a horizontal bar. Our second company has entrusted the blessing of the deputy regimental seat, and all the brothers who have been transferred to guard the city gate have been promoted by one level, and you are now a corporal. Tang Cheng looked at the collar of the military uniform of the mill, which was the mark of a sergeant, and even the cook was now a senior soldier.
"Come, put it on and try it, this is still the military uniform you left, when Company Commander Xie left, he asked Company Commander Liu to put it away, saying that you will definitely wear it." Nian Zi taught Tang Cheng to make leggings, and then turned his head to teach Jiujin to beat leggings. Tang Cheng and Jiujin tied their leggings, packed up the bullet bags, kettles and so on, and then took the steel helmet brought by Niu Wazi and buckled it on their heads. The cook somewhere found a mirror with a missing corner, and insisted that Tang Cheng look at himself after putting on his military uniform.
"Well, it's pretty good." The soldier in the mirror looked still a little thin, but it didn't prevent Tang Cheng from secretly praising himself in his heart, and he still pinned the two pistols to his waist according to the old rules, M1911 on the back waist, and the 20 shots with the holster straddled the waist, Tang Cheng took the Mauser rifle handed over by the cook and made a posture of aiming ahead, which attracted a few applause from everyone.
"What kind of coaxing, if you have nothing to do, you will follow the mill to get the ammunition, or help the cook to make cakes." Liu Goat, who was woken up by laughter, couldn't sleep, so he came out of the house angrily and scolded everyone who could see it. Twisting his face and seeing that Tang Cheng and Jiujin had changed into military uniforms, Liu Goat also pretended not to see, but the joy in Liu Goat's eyes had already been discovered by everyone.
"Let's stay for a while, when our second company has replenished enough troops, it's not too late for you to leave, now is the time for the second company to employ people, and besides, you are not a person who has not fought before." Xie Dachun, a veteran who had taught Tang Cheng to dodge shells, also said that he would keep Tang Cheng, coupled with the eager gaze in Liu Goat's eyes standing outside the crowd, Tang Cheng, who was soft and not hard, finally nodded and agreed to stay temporarily.
"When I go to get the ammunition for a while, give Lao Tzu all the bullets to ask for, don't fucking listen to the grandsons of the teaching team say that there is enough ammunition, Lao Tzu has fought for so many years, and there has never been a time when there is enough ammunition, the meat in the pot does not count, and it is called counting if you have to pull it into your own plate." Tang Cheng took the opportunity to stuff two packs of cigarettes that he had turned out from the corpses of Japanese soldiers and gave them to him, and asked him to take them to the quartermaster of the teaching team.
"It seems that Lao Tzu is absolutely right to leave you, you kid with a tail behind his buttocks, that's the monkey on Mount Emei, ghost thief, ghost thief." Hearing what Tang Cheng whispered to the miller, Liu Goat praised it. He went to get the ammunition twice, and each time the fat quartermaster of the teaching team found all kinds of excuses to withhold the ammunition issued, and he made trouble for a long time not because of his own rough words, but because he did not send anything to the quartermaster.
Tang Cheng originally wanted to take out the two shell guns of nine catties and hand them over to Liu Goat for redistribution, but the remaining dozen people in the Second Company had a 20 rings, and when Xie Bo crossed the river with the disabled soldiers, he left all the 20 rings that Tang Cheng found in the broken building, except for a few light machine guns that were exchanged by the teaching team, the rest were issued to individuals by Liu Goat. "Just because each of our second companies has 20 rings, these grandsons of the teaching team will ask us to go out of the city to search for the infiltration troops of the Japanese army.
As soon as these 20-round shell guns were mentioned, Liu Goat complained again, the second company now only has half a platoon of troops, but each of them carries a shell gun, and it is also a 20-round fast and slow machine from the original German factory, such equipment is rare in German mechanics. If it weren't for the fact that the 1st Battalion had not been able to withdraw after the entire battalion remained in Shanghai for the whole division, the 20-round barge guns of the 2nd Company would have been taken away by the above.
The 2nd Company is now nominally under the command of the Teaching Corps and stationed at the Zhonghua Gate, but in fact the 2nd Corps is only responsible for the ammunition supply and the provision of a barracks for the 2nd Company. The 88th Division withdrawn from Shanghai was injured and not to mention, and was also deployed in Yuhuatai to garrison, Liu Goat was wronged, and it was impossible for them to go to Yuhuatai to complain this time, and they came and went, and the Second Company became a helper that no one cared about and no one asked, if it wasn't for Liu Goat's close attention, the remaining people in the Second Company would have been pulled away by other troops.
"The Dog Day quartermaster took two packs of cigarettes from us, and he didn't even give us mortars, and he ran all the rifle bullets, and if it weren't for my sharp eyes, this box of grenades wouldn't have given us." Niu Wazi, who followed the mill to get ammunition, came back with his eyebrows and bragged to Jiujin about how he was just now, listening to Jiujin's eyes were full of envy, and the veterans who listened were full of contempt.
"It's okay, it seems that the two packs of cigarettes in Tang Cheng have worked, send the bullets to the brothers, all of them have been distributed, and the bullet bags have been filled for Lao Tzu." Mill took the slip and went to retrieve two boxes of rifle bullets, a box of shell gun bullets, and a box of grenades, plus the ammunition that the second company had received from the teaching corps, enough for each person in the second company to carry two base numbers of ammunition.
Tang Cheng, whose marksmanship is too bad, only needs 50 rounds of rifle bullets, but the bullets of the barge gun are a little more, nine catties is no matter what kind of bullets, first take it and put it in the bullet bag, and then say, the mill taught for a long time, and the nine catties learned how to fill the bullet into the chamber. "Let's go, let's go to the city gate to check the refugees entering the city first, and then we will go out of the city after the people who guard the city gate have eaten dinner." Tang Cheng was stunned by the happy reaction on everyone's faces, isn't this drudgery? Why are these guys as excited as if they were beaten with chicken blood?
