Chapter 5 Do not make unnecessary sacrifices

The students who returned to the training camp looked much more silent, and after Tang Cheng patrolled the camp, he did not leave immediately, but gathered the students together. "I hope you can all remember today, just today, the Sichuan army went out of Sichuan to participate in the Anti-Japanese War. You have all gone to see them off, and you should see that some of them are younger than you, and some of them are older than your fathers. Some of them are stronger than you, and some are not as strong as you, but they go without hesitation. Tang Cheng, who was standing on the earthen platform, looked around at the students below, and his words became more and more intense.

"On weekdays, when you see such people, you may disdain them. Because you are all proud sons of heaven, and they look vulgar with swear words, but don't forget, in addition to stripping away your respective identities, you and they both have the same identity - Chinese, everyone is the descendants of Yanhuang, and the blood and stubbornness left by the ancestors are engraved in their bones. Therefore, I ask you all to remember this day, and remember that just today, the Sichuan army went out of Sichuan to participate in the War of Resistance with a heart of death. ”

Tang Cheng's words were not long, and they were far less elaborate than those of literati and scholars, but the students under the soil platform listened attentively, and some were even thinking about whether to join the army and serve the country. "Training you is not to pull you into battle, I just hope that you are proud of the sky and have the ability to protect yourself when the situation is chaotic. If the situation does deteriorate to the point where you need to go to war, I hope that by training now, your chances of survival on the battlefield will be greatly increased. ”

It was impossible for Tang Cheng to say all his goals, what he was saying now was just to motivate these students so that they could grit their teeth and persevere in the training camp, after all, military training was still a very hard thing. In the following days, the military training for the students was gradually increased in difficulty, and in addition to the daily queue and endurance training, the shooting training that had been blocked by Wang Bingzhang was also put on the agenda.

There are few men who don't like guns, and these students are naturally not exceptional, but they didn't expect that it was still early before the real live-fire training, and Tang Cheng only gave them rifles, but did not give them bullets. "Little Wu, I see that your posture really trains these students as recruits!" When Zhang Jianghe was idle, he would often come to the training camp to take a look, and he was puzzled to see that Tang Cheng had specially gone to the garrison regiment to borrow guns in order to train these students.

"Uncle, I don't have that leisure, don't you see that those instructors are veterans of the garrison regiment!" Tang Cheng, who was lying on his back on a bamboo recliner side by side with Zhang Jianghe, chuckled softly. "Isn't it that I'm still in the recovery period, I'm idle around and have nothing to do, and besides, these students can hold on. Since they can endure hardships and persevere, I can't fool people too much, and playing with guns is not a bad thing, it's better than not knowing anything. The explanation given by Tang Cheng was obviously not in line with Zhang Jianghe's wishes, but he did not continue to ask.

"It is said that the Shanghai side is fighting very hard, but our side still has the advantage, and I only received the news in the morning that the Nanjing side is a little unwilling to be lonely, and wants to take advantage of the situation to prepare to form an action force, and go to Shanghai to show his face and get some credit to the chairman of the committee." Zhang Jianghe's words made Tang Cheng pause and light a cigarette, and when the fierce battle in Shanghai was fought on August 13, the intelligence department that had not yet been renamed the military commander had indeed formed a unit to participate in the battle, but the result was almost all wiped out.

After a slight pause, Tang Cheng lit a cigarette and took a puff before he said slowly, "Do you think this can work?" The intelligence department is a professional counterintelligence department, and if it is urban melee, it may be able to take advantage of it. However, Shanghai is now fighting a positional war with a large number of troops, and the intelligence department is not good at this at all, and if it sends people over, it may end up with the annihilation of the entire army. In front of Zhang Jianghe, Tang Cheng naturally didn't care so much, not to mention that there was no one else on the side of the two.

Before Zhang Jianghe joined the Intelligence Department, he had served in the Central Army, and there were few people in the Intelligence Department who could compare to Zhang Jianghe in their understanding of positional warfare. As soon as Tang Cheng said this, Zhang Jianghe also nodded again and again, "I also feel that this plan is a stinky move, but the person in the seat is stubborn, and once the plan is formulated, it will not be questioned by others." This time, my Chongqing station will also dispatch people to Nanjing to assemble, and there are still regulations on time and numbers. ”

According to the requirements of the Nanjing headquarters, the Chongqing station needs to dispatch a 30-person team to Nanjing to assemble, and Bai Zhanshan, who has not achieved results in Chongqing for a long time, does not know why he has a hot head, so he is clamoring to command this 30-person team to go to Nanjing, and Zhang Jianghe is worried about this matter. "Bai Zhanshan loves to take advantage of small advantages, likes to step on his own people to climb up, in short, there are many shortcomings. But this person is a good hand in terms of action, so I let him go to Shanghai, and I was a little reluctant in my heart. ”

Zhang Jianghe's heart was hesitant and in a dilemma, in Tang Cheng's opinion, it was a matter at all, Bai Zhanshan was not a fool, how could he not know the danger of going to Shanghai. Since he knows the danger of going to Shanghai, he still insists on going, which shows that Bai Zhanshan has already considered everything, and Bai Zhanshan's move should be the best portrayal. After a little silence, Tang Cheng slowly spoke, but what he was going to say at the moment, Zhang Jianghe probably didn't like to listen.

"Uncle, if you want me to say, you don't care about this. Shanghai is at war, and Nanjing's formulation of this plan is already dangerous. I heard that Bai Zhanshan was also from the military, how could he not know what would happen on the battlefield. Since he insists on going, if you continue to obstruct him, you may even attract his jealousy. You also know that he is a person who likes to hold grudges, and I don't want to hear that you were shot in the back by your own people that day. ”

Tang Cheng's last sentence sounded a little shocking, Zhang Jianghe immediately glared at Tang Cheng, such words are not something that can be said casually. Zhang Jianghe's eyes, but Tang Cheng didn't care at all, this is a training camp, it is his own territory, and no one will go out to gossip. "Your kid is lucky this time, before the war started, you were injured and need to recuperate, otherwise you would have gone this time." After a slight pause, Zhang Jianghe decided to tell the Nanjing headquarters about Tang Cheng's inquiry.

When Tang Cheng heard this, the whole person was almost stupid, the Battle of August 13 and Songhu was a flesh and blood mill, if his little arms and legs went over there, he might not be able to come back alive. "That's not right! Uncle, I'm not from your intelligence department! As you can see, I am a police officer and am under the jurisdiction of the Chongqing Police Department. Tang Cheng complained to Zhang Jianghe a little, but he was actually secretly glad in his heart, saying that he didn't expect that he was injured in the attack, but he helped himself.

Tang Cheng's complaint was of little use to Zhang Jianghe, and he picked up the tea on the low table and took a sip, and Zhang Jianghe said slowly. "Your father is a member of the Intelligence Department, and your kid is naturally our person, and besides, your kid's skills have long been known in Nanjing. The people who went to Shanghai this time were specially selected, and if you have such skills, how could Nanjing ignore them. Zhang Jianghe's words sounded like he was knocking on Tang Cheng, but in fact they had a strong hint.

Tang Cheng understood, and immediately picked up Zhang Jianghe's words and said, "That's okay, I'll pay attention to it in the future, even if I carry a wretched name, I can save a lot of trouble!" Tang Cheng and the two were talking in a low voice, Zhao Dashan was walking over quickly from not far away, and looking at Zhao Dashan's expression, it seemed that there was something important. Tang Cheng was injured and needed to recuperate, and the affairs of the investigation team were basically handled by Zhao Dashan, and his appearance in the training camp at this time was definitely not idle and nothing.

"Captain, our people have locked on two targets in the city, one of them is in contact with a second lieutenant of the garrison regiment, but this second lieutenant is not easy to handle, his surname is Liu." Zhao Dashan's voice was not loud, but he didn't mean to force Zhang Jianghe. The surname Liu can only explain one problem, the second lieutenant surnamed Liu is designated to be related to the king of Sichuan, otherwise Zhao Dashan would not say that this person is difficult.

When Tang Cheng heard this, he immediately turned his head to look at Zhang Jianghe, "Uncle, surnamed Liu, our side may not be able to move, so it is better to leave it to you to dispose of." Nanjing has been sending manpower and equipment to your Chongqing station, and I think there is also the idea of getting involved in Sichuan, maybe this is an opportunity. Tang Cheng's words sounded like an explanation, but in fact he was reminding Zhang Jianghe that since Zhang Jianghe was still the head of the Chongqing station, he should act in accordance with the will of the Nanjing headquarters of the intelligence department.

Zhang Jianghe, who had already heard the meaning of Tang Cheng's words, nodded and agreed without the slightest hesitation, but when he looked at Tang Cheng later, there was a faint hint of inexplicable brilliance. According to Tang Cheng's intentions, Zhao Dashan handed over the case to Chongqing Station as a whole, but according to Tang Cheng's temperament, the Intelligence Department had to pay a bonus to the investigation team. "In the future, if there are any clues involving that person, all of them will be handed over to the Intelligence Department for disposal, our foundation is too weak, and we can't afford to fight with that family!"

Tang Cheng's explanation is not unreasonable, although Liu Xiang has led the army out of Sichuan to participate in the War of Resistance, but Liu Xiang has been in charge of Sichuan for many years, and the people and forces of the Liu family are scattered among all strata of Sichuan, not to mention a small investigation team, even if the intelligence department wants to move the Liu family's mind, even if there is a careful plan and enough courage, it still needs the full support of the chairman of the committee in Nanjing. Tang Cheng wanted to avoid a conflict with the Liu family, and Zhao Dashan was the same in his heart, and the investigation team began to shrink back a little.

"Don't be afraid of being called cowards, who can have the last laugh, that is the real hero! We all have a family, even if this life is not valuable, it must be meaningful, and it is meaningless to waste in the infighting, and it will never be worth it! Zhao Dashan passed Tang Cheng's original words to the other veteran policemen of the investigation team word for word, and everyone's hearts were warm, and the decadent atmosphere of the investigation team was swept away.
