Chapter 10 Trifles hurt the mind

"Did we kill the wrong person?" Waiting for Liu Shishi and Han Shanhu to go down the slope with those rifles, Lao Dongbei leaned over to Tang Cheng and asked in a low voice. Liu Shi and Han Shanhu brought down the slopes, but they were all Chinese-made rifles, and the Japanese army generally did not use state-made weapons, and they did not find anything related to the Japanese army on the corpses. The only two grenadiers that Tang Cheng can identify have no ammunition, and it makes sense to say that these men captured them from the Japanese army.

"You are stupid, if these people are not Japanese soldiers, why are they all veterans? If they are the rout of the national army, will they change into the clothes of the common people? Isn't it more convenient to put on a military uniform than to dress up as a common man? Rubbing the purple green that was knocked out of the tree trunk on his thigh, Tang Cheng glanced at Lao Dongbei helplessly. At first, Tang Cheng was also wrong because of his judgment, but when he was blocked behind a tree by the three Japanese soldiers, he obviously heard the other party talking a few words in Japanese, although Tang Cheng heard it very vaguely, but he could be sure that the other party was speaking Japanese.

Lao Dongbei thought about it carefully, Tang Cheng's words just now seemed to be good, not to mention that the other party had obviously seen himself and Tang Cheng wearing the uniforms of the national army, if these people were really just displaced people or the rout of the national army, they would never continue to attack. "Look at it, this is the Japanese crotch cloth, who in the Chinese would wear such a thing." Tang Cheng used the bayonet in his hand to pick open the pants of a Japanese soldier's corpse, and the white crotch cloth on the corpse's lower body further confirmed Tang Cheng's judgment.

Only then did Lao Dongbei put his mind at ease, flattened the short gun in his hand, and Tang Cheng and Tang Cheng covered each other and searched the surroundings carefully, until they confirmed that there was no danger here, then they turned around and went down the slope with the loot. "Company commander, you can be regarded as back, Uncle Han also said that we should go up and have a look." Seeing that Tang Cheng and Lao Dongbei had come down with the booty, Liu Shishi, who had been squatting behind the carriage, came up with a shell gun.

"Is it possible that we two big living people can't find our way back? What the are you little thing? Lao Dongbei scolded with a smile, took two rifles from his shoulders and stuffed them for Liu Shishi to carry. The captured rifles were all national-made weapons, Tang Cheng didn't know where these Japanese soldiers got the national-made weapons, but Uncle Han kept fiddling with a rifle, and Dazan was much better than his shotgun.

"Uncle Han, what you said is the truth, your shotgun can be compared to this Hanyang-made rifle, the bullet from this thing hits a bloody hole in the body, and your shotgun is a small hole at most, and the power is much worse." Liu Shishi loaded the rifle into the carriage while joking with Old Man Han, but the latter was already completely immersed in his own world and didn't pay attention to Liu Shishi's jokes at all. 10 national-made rifles, 2 short guns, more than 400 rounds of ammunition, 2 grenadiers without ammunition, this is all Tang Cheng and their captures, Tang Cheng and Lao Dongbei could not find anything on those corpses that could identify them.

Back on the road, Liu Shishi took the place of Lao Dongbei to help drive the car, and the latter and Tang Cheng sat in the same carriage and talked in a low voice. Tang Cheng didn't need to make such an arrangement, but they played ping-pong on the top of the slope for a while, and they didn't see a single figure of Liu Shishi on the avenue, Tang Cheng was a little surprised by the emergence of this situation, in order to prevent the danger of possible zĂ i, he had to transfer Lao Dongbei to stay in the same carriage with him.

"I'm surprised, after we left Xishui County, there were pedestrians along the way, how come I can't see anyone in this section, we have been shooting and grenades for a while, someone should be able to hear it, but after so long, no one has seen it." Tang Cheng, who was bored, looked back from the carriage, except for the carriage driven by Liu Shishi, Tang Cheng only saw the empty road.

"Could it be that there are Japanese soldiers in disguise ahead? It is impossible for the little devil to send only a team of people to infiltrate, and there are a lot of tricks of those Japanese calves. Old Northeast, who had a cigarette in his mouth, lazily followed Tang Cheng's words, and after confirming that those people were Japanese soldiers, this thought kept echoing in his mind. Seeing Tang Cheng laughing at himself, Lao Dongbei couldn't help but be a little angry, "Lao Tzu is not afraid of death, there are only a few of us, Lao Tzu is not afraid of hurting those two children in a mess." ”

Lao Northeast's explanation seemed a little hollow, but Tang Cheng knew very well that Lao Northeast was definitely not a person who was afraid of death, and Tang Ming's laughter just now was indeed not a joke that Old Northeast was afraid of death. "You know that's not what I'm laughing at." Seeing that Lao Northeast was afraid that he was going to be anxious, Tang Cheng snatched half of the cigarette from Lao Dongbei's mouth and took a puff, "I didn't expect that your old Northeast would also think about problems, this is a good phenomenon, Company Commander Xie once told me that a qualified officer must not only be able to lead his soldiers to kill the enemy bravely, but also learn to think, because only officers who can think have the potential to save lives in adversity." ”

"I don't understand what you're talking about, Lao Tzu is a muddy person, obeying orders is, doing so much, I'm tired and panicked." Snatching back only a small piece of cigarette from Tang Cheng's hand, Lao Dongbei lay down on his back in the carriage with his back to the sky and snorted his cigarette butts. Looking at the face of Lao Dongbei, who seemed to be fierce but was actually lonely, Tang Cheng found that Lao Northeast was also a person with a story like Liu Goat, but Tang Cheng had his own reserve, and if Lao Northeast didn't say it, he wouldn't ask, but he believed that one day Lao Northeast would take the initiative to mention his own affairs.

The carriage drove slowly on the empty and uninhabited road, Han Shanhu and Liu Shishi kept an eye on the surrounding movements while driving the car, and waited for the carriage to walk out of this hilly area safely, Han Shanhu and Liu Shishi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The expected danger did not appear, and Lao Dongbei and Tang Cheng also relaxed somewhat, and in the face of the unknown future, Tang Cheng even wanted to make all his predictions of danger wrong.

There was already faintly visible cooking smoke in front of him, indicating that there were already villages and towns in front, and Tang Cheng on the carriage began to think about the problems he would face after sending the Han family across the river. The Han family is not a destitute family, but the Han family, which is also a Zhuang family, does not have many valuable objects and money, and the family of 5 has to eat, lodging and dressing after crossing the river, which all costs money, and the little money that the old man Han carries on his body is enough to maintain their livelihood for two or three months at most.

Tang Cheng and the Han family are not related, but after all, the old man Han saved his life, so he can't send the five members of the Han family across the river and leave it alone. The money of the second company was replaced by the nine catties left for them, and the rest was exchanged for gold bars and the ocean, which were managed by Niu Laogui and Liu Shishi. When he was ordered to transfer to the front line of Xiaojieling, Liu Shishi, in order to save trouble, handed over the bag containing gold bars and the ocean to Niu Laogui, and as a result, the money disappeared with Niu Laogui in the Japanese artillery fire.

If it weren't for the fact that Tang Cheng still had two gold bars sewn into the corners of his military uniform, they didn't even have the money to buy a carriage, and Liu Shishi now only had the last two oceans left on his body, and Tang Cheng didn't know what he could do with this money. "What do you bother to do, now that the army is in chaos, these rifles we have seized are idle and idle, and it will be over if you directly find a landlord and sell them." How timid they are and afraid of death, if you take out a cannon, they dare to buy it. Tang Cheng's sorrow directly affected the old Northeast, seeing that Tang Cheng was very worried about this matter, the old Northeast gave an idea.

Tang Cheng is no stranger to pouring guns and ammunition, he did such a thing with Liu Goat in Mengcheng, when he left Mengcheng and went south, he secretly sold weapons and ammunition to the guerrillas, and when he left Macheng, he sold more than 100 guns and ammunition in one go. Tang Cheng just got into the tip of the bull's horns, and for a moment he was negligent and forgot that he still had such an experience, and after listening to the reminder of the old Northeast, Tang Cheng immediately realized that the 10 rifles and more than 400 rounds of ammunition on the carriage were worth a lot of money.

"Well, you're right, then let's find a suitable home on the road to dispose of these things, the province will cause trouble when crossing the river, don't shoot the short gun, keep it for you and the stone." found a solution to the problem, Tang Cheng's mood suddenly improved, although the road ahead was bleak, but having a gun and money in his hand still made Tang Cheng feel somewhat relieved.

"Are we really going to Sichuan? Not going back to the 88th Division? The last cigarette on his body had been smoked, and the idle old Northeast began to tease Tang Cheng to talk, he knew what the 88th Division meant to Tang Cheng, so his words always revolved around the 88th Division. Whether to return to the 88th Division, Tang Gao didn't have a clear idea in his heart, the three of them had already separated from the remaining soldiers of the second company, how was the fight on the side of Xiaojieling, Tang Cheng didn't know anything at all.

Tang Cheng didn't know if the 88th Division could stop the Japanese army's continued southward advance, but he knew that it would be difficult for the three of them to return to the Xiaojieling front. Facing Lao Dongbei's inquiry, Tang Cheng shook his head a little blankly, "I don't know, let's take a step at a time, it is the main thing to send Uncle Han's family across the river first, and after sending them to Xiushui, the three of us will discuss it again." ”

"You have the final say, who made you the company commander, our life is hard when we are the big soldiers, and the commander will do what he says." Tang Cheng, who listened to Old Northeast's self-deprecating joke, laughed, he knew that Old Northeast was saying these words on purpose. "Don't be too happy, we secretly inquired when we went to the county seat to buy a carriage, and it is not so easy to cross the river. I heard that the boats on the riverside have long been requisitioned and cleaned by the coastal defense forces, and now the boats on the riverside are all small boats, and the small boats can only transport people, but what about the carriages we bought with money? You can't throw it away, can you? ”
