Chapter 8: Trouble Strikes
In fact, even without Tang Cheng's participation, the Eighth Route Army will carry out relevant research and transformation for direct fire in the future, because in the history of weapons of the Eighth Route Army, there has been a direct-fire mortar as a fortified weapon. However, now because of the appearance and planning of Tang Cheng, this kind of modified weapon, which will not appear until a few years later, I believe that it will soon appear in the weapons and equipment sequence of the Eighth Route Army.
With the successive rise in the number of casualties of the elite troops of the National Army and the arrival of the follow-up forces of the Japanese army, the battle in Shanghai, which originally looked very good, has gradually become a flesh and blood mill. The newspapers and radio were full of bad news, and the Chongqing family, whose son was in the Sichuan army, was closely following the war in Shanghai. At this time, Tang Cheng unexpectedly recurred from an old injury, and was once again forcibly confined by Zhang Jianghe in the backyard of the military camp to recuperate.
"Xiao Wu, I can tell you, it's definitely not a good thing that someone from Nanjing came this time. If you want to cause trouble for your mother and those younger siblings, then you can run around and toss around! Zhang Jianghe obviously didn't joke with Tang Cheng this time, not only did he speak sharply when facing Tang Cheng, but his expression also looked very serious. Tang Cheng also knew that Zhang Jianghe would never harm himself, and seeing that Zhang Jianghe didn't look like he was joking, Tang Cheng had to stay honestly in the backyard of the barracks.
It would have been a good thing for someone to come from the Nanjing headquarters, but Zhang Jiang and his old friends from the Nanjing headquarters secretly communicated with Zhang Jianghe, and Zhang Jianghe's first reaction when he learned the inside story was to hide Tang Cheng. "Stationmaster Zhang, I heard that you have a nephew named Tang Cheng, why don't you call over and talk about it!" It was not only people from the Intelligence Department who came from Nanjing, but also someone surnamed Xie, who was said to be from the Ministry of National Defense. The one who spoke at the moment was the one surnamed Xie, Zhang Jianghe just glanced at the other party, but he didn't answer the other party's words.
Seeing that Zhang Jianghe didn't care about himself, Xie Zhonglin was a little angry in his heart, but he knew that this was Chongqing and not Nanjing, so he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and his expression did not change in the slightest. The person from the Nanjing headquarters of the intelligence department is called Wang Xianzhe, although he and Zhang Jianghe cannot be regarded as old friends, but they can be regarded as old acquaintances, seeing Zhang Jianghe and Xie Zhonglin carrying it, he secretly touched Zhang Jianghe's leg lightly under the table.
Knowing that Wang Xianzhe was reminding himself with good intentions, Zhang Jianghe appreciated it in his heart, but he still treated Xie Zhonglin coldly. "Lao Zhang, the above sent us over this time, one is for the modified cannon you said. The second reason is that for your nephew, the Einsatzgruppen performed well in the Shanghai Theater, but the casualties were too great after all. The above plans to form a second Einsatzgruppen to rush to Shanghai to help in the war, and some people say that your nephew is good, and he has carried out many assassinations against Japanese criminals in Shanghai and succeeded, so..."
Before Wang Xianzhe could finish his words, he was interrupted by Zhang Jianghe's words, "Impossible, this matter is not negotiable!" Zhang Jianghe looked at Wang Xianzhe and the others with a serious face, and said angrily. Before you came to Chongqing, did you carefully read the information of Tangcheng? You, Wang Xianzhe, should know who Tang Cheng's father is, right? You should know how his father died, right? He is the last bloodline in his family, could it be that he has sacrificed his life for the country, and you still want to destroy the bloodline of his Tang family? ”
When Zhang Jianghe talked about Tang Cheng's father, Wang Xianzhe's heart flashed, he was also an old man in the intelligence department, how could he not know who Tang Cheng's father was, and he had won the medal after his death. "Lao Zhang, don't worry, I'm just saying this casually. Your nephew is the only seedling in the family, so we naturally can't force him, so you can dissipate your anger first. Wang Xianzhe was busy making peace with Zhang Jiang, but in his heart, he had already scolded the person who confessed to the matter.
Because of Zhang Jianghe's sudden turn of face, the feast was delicious, and when Zhang Jianghe, who had a black face throughout the whole process, left, Xie Zhonglin opened his mouth to ask Wang Xianzhe about Tangcheng. "Tang Cheng's father is an old man in the intelligence department, he died and died when he captured the Japanese spies last year, even according to the regulations for recruiting soldiers, he can even be exempted from military service in this situation, not to mention that when his father died, he also won a medal." Not only did he want to deliberately conceal it, but for some other reason, Wang Xianzhe did not say anything very carefully about Tang Cheng's affairs.
Xie Zhonglin was relieved when he heard this, Xie Zhonglin, who was born in a famous family, had never been treated like this today, and said in his heart that since Zhang Jianghe valued this Tang Cheng so much, he would forcibly recruit this Tang Cheng into the army. Xie Zhonglin's original mission was only to come to Chongqing to receive the modified cannon, but Zhang Jianghe gave him anger, and Xie Zhonglin, who was impatient, planned to teach Zhang Jianghe a lesson, but he underestimated the speed of change in the situation.
After Zhang Jianghe left, he did not immediately return to Chongqing Station, but went to the military camp to visit Tang Cheng and inform Tang Cheng of what had just happened. Listening to Zhang Jianghe talk about what happened before, Tang Cheng's expression did not change, "Uncle, don't worry, as the old saying goes, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth!" What's more, as you just said, they came to Chongqing mainly for the modified gun. I'm not a sweetheart, can they still forcibly take me away? ”
Tang Cheng persuaded Zhang Jianghe on his lips, but in fact, he was already secretly thinking about countermeasures in his heart, judging from Zhang Jianghe's words and attitude just now, the people from the headquarters of the Intelligence Department were not worried, mainly because the guy surnamed Xie from the Ministry of Defense was very troublesome. Zhang Jianghe didn't know that Tang Cheng was already thinking about countermeasures, he just came to the barracks to want Tang Cheng to be mentally prepared in advance, "Anyway, you should be careful for a while, don't leave this barracks if you have nothing to do, and let those people under you also have more eyes." ”
Zhang Jianghe's words reminded Tang Cheng that he is not alone now, and there are dozens of old policemen under his hands! After Zhang Jianghe left, Tang Cheng asked a child to go to the front yard and called Zhao Dashan and Lao Fu, and told the two of them what Zhang Jianghe had just said to him. "There is an obvious problem with the surname Xie of the Ministry of Defense, but I can't think of any connection I have with their Ministry of Defense. When I was still in Nanjing last year, I didn't seem to have offended anyone from the Ministry of National Defense! ”
Tang Cheng admitted that he had not offended anyone from the Ministry of National Defense, but Lao Fu, who was experienced in society, had a different opinion, "Captain, think about it carefully, when you were still in Nanjing, did you offend that kind of guy with a special background." Let me tell you, these guys are born with backgrounds, they are often in groups, and if you offend one of them, you will become the public enemy of them. The person surnamed Xie is from the Ministry of Defense, maybe one of those people. ”
Lao Fu's words will feel absurd at first hearing, but if you calm down and reflect carefully, there is some truth. Hearing this, Tang Cheng carefully recalled what happened when he was still in Nanjing, if he didn't count the several conflicts with the Central Union, he would not have offended any powerful people. Could it be that the person surnamed Xie has something to do with the Central Union? This thought just flashed in Tang Cheng's mind, and he was immediately denied by Tang Cheng, because he knew that if Zhongtong wanted to make people, he would definitely not borrow other people's hands.
But if this surname Xie is not because of Zhongtong, then what is it for? Tang Cheng was puzzled, and finally had to tell Zhao Dashan to try his best to restrain his old policemen to act carefully. Zhang Jianghe hoped that Tang Cheng would not show up for a while, and Tang Cheng also asked Zhao Dashan to restrain his old policemen to act carefully, both of them hoped to get through this trouble safely, but there were some troubles that you could not avoid if you wanted to.
Xie Zhonglin has been wandering around Chongqing a lot in the past two days, not only going to Chongqing Station to see the modified gun, but also going to a labor camp and student training camp on the outskirts of the city. In the end, he was born in a famous family, with his straight military uniform and major rank identification, Xie Zhonglin, who spoke well, quickly mingled with several students, and found out a lot of things about Tangcheng from their mouths, and knew that the labor camp next to it was also related to Tangcheng.
Tang Cheng's manpower on the farm side quickly reported the situation to the barracks, but Tang Cheng didn't think so when he learned about it. "Don't bother with it, as long as it's not about those sensitive things, don't pay attention to him. There are a lot of people involved in the training camp and the farm, and I'll see what the guy surnamed Xie wants to do, if he wants to talk about the training camp and the farm, the other people won't necessarily be slower than us. Tang Cheng seemed to be afraid that Xie Zhonglin would not make trouble, and his eyes were full of smug smiles,
Since Wang Bingzhang and the people of the garrison regiment discovered that the strike hard campaign could effectively ensure the number of workers on the farm, the intensity of cleaning up gangsters and hooligans in the city has been increasing day by day, and sometimes even the garrison regiment will send people to participate in the arrest. In other words, the Laogai Farm outside the city is now affecting the interests of too many people, and if this Xie Zhonglin wants to do things with the Laogai Farm, he will end up with a bloody plan.
Today is the third day of Xie Zhonglin's arrival in Chongqing, Tang Cheng is waiting for him to make the first move, but Ke Xie Zhonglin has not moved. "Captain, did you say that the surname Xie is afraid? We all gave him time, we can't just because he came to Chongqing, we all have to be people with our tails between our legs, right? "It was Yang Cheng who was responsible for tracking Xie Zhonglin, if Tang Cheng hadn't tried his best to stop it, maybe Xie Zhonglin would have been sunk by Yang Cheng in the Jialing River.
"Don't care if he's afraid or not, let's just do our own thing!" Tang Cheng, who was nestled in a recliner, smoked a cigarette with a comfortable face. "He is a person, the more you deal with him, the more arrogant he becomes, you just take care of him, and see what he can do." Tang Cheng said that he didn't need to pay attention to Xie Zhonglin, but the intensity of surveillance in private did not relax at all.
