Chapter Fifty-Eight: Bewitchment

After the second round of the strike hard action, the labor camp outside the city finally made up for manpower, and the current labor camp is more lively than when Tang Cheng just came back from Shanghai, and the output is also a lot more. Tang Cheng came here today quite a coincidence, the farm of the labor reform farm happened to be killing pigs, so Tang Cheng happily stayed here and mixed a pig-killing meal.

"Captain Tang, you're a rare guest! Have you forgotten about our brothers? "The one who spoke was the commander of a battalion of the local garrison regiment, who once wanted to teach Tang Cheng a lesson under the pretext of learning, but was defeated by Tang Cheng in two moves, if there is anyone in this garrison regiment who admires Tang Cheng the most, it is the battalion commander named Zheng Wenshan in front of him. Tang Cheng happened to encounter the pig killing in the farm today, but Zheng Wenshan and the others were waiting here early, waiting to eat meat and drink wine.

"What a rare guest! It's all your own people, don't make these false tricks! Zheng Wenshan seems to be rude but actually shrewd, but he never hides it in front of Tang Cheng, Tang Cheng likes to deal with this kind of straightforward dealing. Tang Cheng ignored the wine glass in Zheng Wenshan's hand, grabbed the teacup in front of him casually, and took the initiative to touch the other party. Tang Cheng doesn't drink, this is something that these people in the garrison group know, Zheng Wenshan originally wanted to take this opportunity to coax Tang Cheng to drink, but he didn't expect Tang Cheng's reaction to be slow, and he immediately took the initiative.

Seeing Tang Cheng leaning his neck and drinking all the herbal tea in the teacup, Zheng Wenshan had no choice but to raise his glass and drink the wine in the cup, but after he put down the wine glass, he did not immediately sit back in place, but came directly to Tang Cheng's side. "Captain Tang, you are well-informed, and now that the situation is becoming more and more incomprehensible, several of us are becoming more and more panicked. Can you give us some inside information or something, so that we can rest assured! ”

The people present were all their own people, but Zheng Wenshan had to deliberately lower his voice to speak, which made Tang Cheng feel so embarrassed that he had goosebumps on his arms. When Tang Cheng heard this, he had no choice but to look around at everyone, and saw that everyone else was staring at him without blinking at the moment, it was worth appreciating Zheng Wenshan's eyes first, and then he put down the teacup and said slowly. "Let's start with it, I'm not an inside member, as long as anyone who has read the recent newspapers, they will probably think so."

"Let's talk about the war first, although the Japanese army seems to have slowed down the pace and speed of the attack, the national army has also exhausted the previous preparations, whether it is the spirit of the soldiers or the supply of materials, they are almost consumed. Personally, I believe that the next step should be a long confrontation phase, and then the Japanese army will actively look for opportunities to attack and the flaws of our army, while we will continue to organize resistance while opening up a second battlefield behind enemy lines. So that the Japanese army could not take care of each other, and then drag the battle line and consume their troops and supplies. ”

Strictly speaking, Tang Cheng is not a person from the police system, but he is not a person from the military command, but what he said at the moment made Zheng Wenshan and the others fall into deep thought. Among the people present, only Tang Cheng did not belong to the military sequence, but his insight just now, Zheng Wenshan and others could not compare. After a while, Zheng Wenshan finally spoke, "Captain Tang, do you mean that this battle is still fought?" Zheng Wenshan said this, and the other people all looked at Tang Cheng in unison, obviously this was what they were most concerned about.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a national war, a national war that will determine the survival of the Chinese nation, how can it be ended in just over a year!" Tang Cheng reached out and grabbed the cigarette on the table, lit one for himself first, and then continued. "The Japanese army was well-trained, well-equipped, and supported by the whole country. On the other hand, our army lacks the necessary training and weaponry, and now it is only fighting with the blood and courage of officers and men to resist the Japanese army. It is simply impossible and unrealistic to end this war in a short period of time. ”

What Tang Cheng is saying now, how can Zheng Wenshan and the others not know, and everyone's mood also became gloomy with Tang Cheng's words. Tang Cheng, who was secretly paying attention to everyone's reaction, smiled slightly when he saw this, "Of course, we are not without chances and advantages, China has a large land and a large population. As long as the troops on the front line can withstand it temporarily, and wait for the troops in the rear to be trained, the superiority in strength alone is enough for the Japanese army to drink a pot! ”

Tang Cheng's words were obviously to cheer up Zheng Wenshan and others, but Zheng Wenshan and they didn't think so, the defeats on the front line were one after another, after the national army lost Shanghai, it followed by the loss of Nanjing, and the national capital had already moved to Wuhan. Seeing that this war is becoming more and more unfavorable to China, Zheng Wenshan and other small characters who are not in the stream hear unfavorable news all day long, how can they not panic in their hearts. "I said you, can you have a little confidence in yourself!" The reaction of Zheng Wenshan and several people made Tang Cheng cry and laugh.

"As the old saying goes, there is a specialization in the art industry! Although the garrison regiment is only a local formation, and it is also an armed force that does not enter the army, after all, you are all locals, and you can be regarded as a snake sitting on the ground. Compared with outsiders, you are more familiar with the environment and situation in Chongqing, and I personally believe that in the current environment, the garrison regiment also has the responsibility of defending the territory, and should contribute its own strength and role to this country. When Tang Cheng's words mentioned the responsibility of defending the land, Zheng Wenshan and the others were obviously not interested, but when Tang Cheng said the last sentence, Zheng Wenshan and the others were finally able to cheer up.

It is good to follow Tang City, this is the common consensus of all the officers of the garrison regiment, and the labor reform farm outside the city alone has already made them fat. Seeing that Zheng Wenshan and the others finally looked up at him again, Tang Cheng continued to speak, "This battle has been fought until now, I believe that just based on the news from the front line, you should have a rough understanding of the Japanese army's attack pattern. Once an inaccessible armed force like your garrison regiment is pulled to the front line, it may not even be able to resist an attack of the same strength of the Japanese army. ”

"Chongqing is a good place, I like this mountain city very much, especially the people here, and I am willing to do something for this mountain city and the people here. Chongqing is considered a large rear at the moment, but with the continuous attack of the Japanese army, Chongqing will one day become the target of the Japanese army. At this point, Tang Cheng suddenly paused, and pointed at an officer opposite with a finger holding a cigarette and said with a smile.

"I know what you want to say, it's nothing more than Sichuan's multi-day danger, and the terrain restrictions make it impossible for the Japanese army to invest more troops at one time even if they want to attack in an all-out way. It's just that you have all forgotten that the appearance of aircraft artillery has long changed the pattern of warfare. What would you do if the Japanese used warships to go up the water? What would you do if the Japanese army used planes to carry out a full-scale bombing of Chongqing? At that time, even if the Japanese army could not enter Sichuan, their aircraft and artillery would be enough to destroy everything in Sichuan. ”

"What's the use of guarding a place where nothing can be done?" Tang Cheng's series of questions made Zheng Wenshan and the others, who were originally lucky, change their faces greatly, and for a while, several people didn't know how to answer Tang Cheng. At this moment, Tang Cheng was just smoking silently, but he didn't say a word, just looked around at the reaction of Zheng Wenshan and the others. After smoking a cigarette, under the eager eyes of Zheng Wenshan and others, Tang Cheng spoke.

"If I were you, you should find a way to organize the collection of necessary weapons and equipment now, and at the same time actively train your soldiers, even if you won't be pulled to the front line, at least you have to make your soldiers look like soldiers. Anyway, this is our home, here are our family and friends, even if it's for them, you should work hard! Tang Cheng's words deflated Zheng Wenshan and the others, who had just mustered up some courage, and the soldiers under his command were trained to be elite, which meant that they would be dragged to the front line, which was not what they wanted.

The reaction of Zheng Wenshan and the others at this moment had long been expected by Tang Cheng, and after chuckling, Tang Cheng said softly. "If you think this can't be done, then it's better to just disarm and return to the field, according to your current family background, it's okay to be a rich man!" Tang Cheng's words came out, Zheng Wenshan and the others changed color, if there was no military uniform on their bodies, they wanted to live the life of a rich man, it was simply a joke, and the people who had offended before would definitely not let them go easily when they took off their military uniforms.

"This doesn't work, it doesn't work, it seems that your garrison regiment has only one last way to go!" Tang Cheng deliberately paused before finally saying what he wanted to say the most. "You all know what I do, I search for Japanese puppet spies lurking in Chongqing City, and the main purpose is for the peace of Chongqing City. Without the Japanese puppet spies lurking in the city, the Japanese army would not be able to obtain information related to Chongqing, and the Japanese planes would not have been able to provide them with bombing guidance..."

Tang Cheng's speed of speech became faster and faster, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zheng Wenshan's words. "You just said that we are locals and are familiar with the environment and situation in Chongqing, do you mean that you want us to garrison the regiment and do the same thing as you?" Zheng Wenshan's words instantly woke up several other people. That's right! The garrison regiment is all Chongqing natives, and if you want to say that you are familiar with Chongqing, no one in the garrison regiment will say that you are willing to live in the queen.

"I'm not saying that I want you to grab the job of Chongqing Station, my suggestion is that your garrison regiment had better streamline its administration, first eliminate some soldiers with poor ability, and send them to labor camps as guards. The remaining people were reduced to form small units at the company and platoon level, and they were stationed around Chongqing to guard the passages in and out of Chongqing. As long as you garrison the regiment can completely ensure the stability of the mountain city of Chongqing, I think the bigwigs above should be able to see your efforts and hardships. ”
