Chapter 146: Talent?
Panxi, Wang'er Mountain.
The reason why Liu Cheng came here was actually for a person.
When he went to Xinjing before, Sun Ping once told him that her sister-in-law, that is, Sun Shiyu's wife, followed the devil who had a leg with her to Panxi before the guerrillas besieged Huadian.
In order to curb the guerrillas' sabotage of the railway line, Nomura Toshio transferred more than 200 people from the puppet army stationed in the Huadian area to form a South Manchurian railway escort team, and asked Ono Taro to send someone to take charge.
And the one who was sent by Ono Taro to Panxi to guard the railway was the Cao Chang who had a leg with Yan Ying.
Although he is still a squad leader and only has twelve devil soldiers under his command, the more than 200 puppet soldiers are directly under his control.
The official position has not changed, but the power has increased dozens of times, from a small squad leader to the supreme commander of a team, Yan Ying naturally followed happily, how can he take care of Sun Shiyu's feelings?
Who she is willing to let sleep, it has nothing to do with Sun Ping.
But when Sun Shiyu cut off Sun Tian's hand, Yan Ying was an accomplice.
So Sun Ping wanted Liu Cheng to help keep an eye on it, and once Yan Ying's traces were found, Sun Ping wanted to kill her with his own hands.
Now Liu Cheng is all over the counties and townships in the Panshi area, and it is not difficult to find Yan Ying.
Before he came to Panshi this time, Qian Lu sent someone to send the news of Yan Ying's presence in Panxi to Wudou Township.
Anyway, it came out to brush up on the sense of existence, and of course Liu Cheng was willing to give it to Sun Ping.
When Liu Cheng and the others arrived here, it was already noon on the third day.
Just as he was about to climb over the hillside not far in front and stop to rest for a while, a soldier named Guo Juncai, who had gone to the front to reconnoitre, suddenly ran back and told Liu Cheng that he had found a group of ordinary people who were overhauling the railway.
Liu Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then understood.
Although this railway escort is a ragtag army among the miscellaneous troops, they are all soy sauce characters in each team, but after all, they have guns in their hands, so they naturally can't do their work in person, so they are naturally forcibly recruited from the nearby villages to work for them.
Liu Cheng took nine soldiers to quietly touch over, and quietly observed from a distance:
Forty or fifty civilians were changing the railroad tracks, and seven or eight puppet soldiers were supervising with guns, and from time to time they were beating and scolding the people who were a little slower.
The soldiers wanted to rush over to deal with those puppet soldiers at that time, but without Liu Cheng's order, they didn't dare to act rashly.
The reason why Liu Cheng didn't give the order to act for a long time was because he found a problem.
He looked through the scope, and naturally saw more clearly than the other fighters.
Among those people, there was always one man in command.
Under the command of that person, the actions and methods of those people changing the rails were very appropriate, so Liu Cheng guessed that the person in command must be a professional in railway engineering.
However, judging from the actions of those puppet soldiers towards that person, that person must not have taken the initiative to defect to the Japanese, otherwise, this kind of talent will definitely be treated by the Japanese, even if it is scolded and scolded, it will definitely not be the turn of these puppet soldiers.
Soon, Liu Cheng had a simple plan in his heart, and then turned his head and ordered:
"You touch it, get rid of those puppet soldiers, and try not to shoot."
The nine of them agreed, and quietly got up and swept down the hillside.
Liu Cheng watched their movements from the scope, although they were a little jerky, but they were agile and decisive, as long as they experienced enough actual combat and accumulated experience, they would definitely grow into real warriors.
These people were all trained by him, and Liu Cheng was also very happy to see their progress.
In less than ten minutes, those puppet soldiers were all lying on the ground, turned into corpses.
And Liu Cheng also found an interesting thing:
As the nine warriors approached, they were clearly seen by the people who were working, but none of them said anything.
After waiting for a while and confirming that there were no other devils and puppet soldiers nearby, Liu Cheng went down the hill.
The people watched from afar, not daring to leave or come over.
Liu Cheng walked straight to the front of the crowd and said loudly:
"Don't be afraid, we are the Northeast People's Revolutionary Army, that is, the guerrillas before."
As soon as he said this, the expressions on the faces of most of the people relaxed a lot.
While Liu Cheng spoke, his eyes kept searching the crowd for the person who had just instructed these people to change the railroad tracks.
Soon, he set his sights on a young man of twenty-three or fourteen.
The man had a pair of glasses on his face, his figure was a little thin, and he looked polite, with a strong bookish atmosphere, which looked somewhat wooden.
However, when he found out that Liu Cheng was looking at him, not only did he not dodge, but straightened his waist and looked at Liu Cheng.
Liu Cheng wanted to laugh in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, but beckoned to him with a calm face.
The man was not afraid at all, walked out of the crowd, walked straight to Liu Cheng and stood still, staring at him without saying a word.
Liu Cheng stared at him for a few seconds and asked:
"You were directing them to change rails?"
The man nodded:
"It's me."
Liu Cheng then asked:
"What's your name? What for? ”
This time the man's answer was more succinct:
"Han Shaoyuan, a concubine."
For this man who is full of books but has no spine, Liu Cheng has a little praise in his heart, but his tone is still flat:
"Why do you want to help the devil build the railway?"
Before Liu Cheng's words fell, the expression on the man's face suddenly became angry:
"You ask me? If you gun-wielding men can drive the Japanese away, why should I apply what I have learned to the thieves? ”
Liu Cheng finally couldn't help laughing:
"Han Shaoyuan, Mr. Han, it can be seen that you are a knowledgeable and virtuous person, although we have guns in hand, but you also see that the Japanese army is strong, and we have a few people, what can we do?"
Although Han Shaoyuan is a little stereotypical, he is not an unreasonable person, and when he heard Liu Cheng say this, his attitude eased a lot:
"I also know this, but I can only be helpless, I can't learn a bullet in one body, the national disaster is at the head, the husband is cowering in the room, although he is full of guilt, but he has no power to return to the sky."
Liu Chengneng was already poor in donkey skills before he picked up Han Shaoyuan, he was a person with little culture, although he had read a lot of books after the conditions were better in his previous life, but it was not enough to talk to Han Shaoyuan, a person who had obviously read poetry and books since childhood.
So he quickly changed the subject:
"Mr. Han is too modest, if he wants to serve the country, why don't he have a chance?"
Although Han Shaoyuan was a little dull in his words, he was by no means dull, and instantly understood what Liu Cheng meant, and hesitated:
"You mean I can join you too? But I've never touched a gun......."
Liu Cheng hurriedly took his words:
"It's okay, I can teach you ......"
