Although Robert had been to Wuhan when he was very young in Tangcheng, Tangcheng had no impression of Wuhan, and the three towns of Hankou, Wuchang and Hanyang were the core of Greater Wuhan. After the Battle of Nanjing, the whole of Wuhan was filled with all kinds of people, both poor and rich, who had fled from Nanjing and the rest of the country. Heaven and hell are staged here every day, in the face of the brutal Japanese invaders and the ruthless and calamitous era, it is not easy to live, the literati and writers have a lot of poems to praise Wuhan, but now I am afraid that they can only stay in the poetry books forever, otherwise they will be trampled by the iron hooves of the Japanese invaders.

The words spoken by the people of Wuhan belong to the northern dialect branch of the official dialect, and the general theory belongs to the Han dialect in the southwestern official dialect, and it is also the easternmost vein in the geographical distribution of the southwestern official dialect, which makes it very difficult for the northerners in Tangcheng to listen. Fortunately, Mrs. Huang, who was temporarily stranded in Wuhan, had already learned the news that Tang Cheng had been transferred to Wuhan, and had already sent a few people who could speak Wuhan to wait on the outskirts of Wuhan.

Since the beginning of the Sino-Japanese War, the 88th Division has been fighting in every battle, but after every battle, the 88th Division has suffered heavy casualties, and those stragglers who are wounded and left behind or who are scattered with the rout need to be contained in a place like the Detention Center, otherwise the 88th Division would have already become a third-rate unit full of newcomers. According to the address given by Tang Cheng, the family sent by the Huang family took Tang Cheng and them through the streets and alleys to find the 88th Division's stay in Wuhan.

Passing through an alley where only one cart could pass, Tang Cheng stopped outside a dilapidated gate with a sign reading "Wuhan Office of the 88th Division of the Army" hanging on one side of the gate. On the dilapidated door, there is not much black paint left, showing a dilapidated atmosphere. Through the open gate, Tang Cheng could see a two-story wooden house in the courtyard, and the open space in the courtyard was full of garbage and weeds. There was a row of low houses in the corner of the courtyard, and when you looked through one of the open doors, you could see neatly folded quilts, which were obviously the temporary place for the soldiers in the garrison.

Tang Cheng scratched his head, took out the address telegram sent by the 88th Division and looked at it carefully, the 88th Division was also the descendant of the national army, and he originally thought that the 88th Division's garrison should be a similar place, but he didn't expect that the garrison was hidden in such a corner. "This is where the 88th Division stayed?" Like Tang Cheng, there were a few Niu Laogui and them, especially Lao Dongbei's eyes were round, and he almost shouted out immediately. This is not as good as the station of the second company in Macheng.

"Stop, who are you?" A soldier wearing a military hat and empty hands was coming out of the courtyard, and when he saw Tang Cheng and them standing outside the gate, he questioned loudly. Although Tang Cheng's gang was still wearing German-style steel helmets and the weapons on their bodies were all alive, there were still faintly visible blood stains and bullet holes on their uniforms. A group of people dressed like this suddenly appeared outside the gate of the detention center, and he had to ask questions to find out.

"Please go in and report it, the 2nd Company of the 1st Battalion of the 524th Regiment was ordered to transfer to Wuhan, and we have a warrant, and we are here to report at the detention center." Tang Cheng was a little glad that the guy who was holding him back was a northerner, and if he changed his Wuhan accent, he wouldn't be able to understand a word. Explaining his identity, Tang Cheng took the telegram warrant from Liu Shishi's hand and handed it over, glanced at Tang Cheng with full inquiry, and the soldier wearing a military hat crookedly took the telegram handed by Tang Cheng and turned around and entered the gate.

"Do you see that little building in the courtyard? Go up to the second floor and go to Director Huang. The soldier who took the warrant didn't make much effort to turn around, leave a word to Tang Cheng, and go out of the gate. Tang Cheng only took Niu Laogui and Liu Shishi into the courtyard, stepping on the wooden stairs, Tang Cheng took Niu Laogui and Liu Shishi to the second floor, and heard the laughter of "Hu" coming from a room on the second floor. Pushing open the door, Tang Cheng walked in, and the two men and two women in the room just glanced at him, and continued to code cards.

"May I ask who is Director Huang?" There were two men in the room, but even the men were wearing civilian clothes, so Tang Cheng had to ask the men and women who played mahjong in general. Xu is code card voice was too chaotic, no one answered Tang Cheng's inquiry, Tang Cheng had to accentuate his voice and ask again. A man in his 40s, with a big belly and a bald head, looked up at Tang Cheng and the three of them, and asked impatiently, "What are you looking for him?" ”

Tang Cheng was actually impatient for a long time, and someone finally accosted him, so he took out the warrant and went over, "We are the 1st Battalion and 2nd Company of the 524th Regiment transferred from Macheng to Wuhan, and we are coming to the detention office to report on the warrant of the division. "The people who played mahjong didn't pay attention to Tang Cheng and them before, it was just a gesture, the person who helped them deliver the message had already gone up to the second floor with a warrant, how could this Director Huang not know that Tang Cheng was ordered to come.

Pretending to glance at the warrant handed over by Tang Cheng, Director Huang smiled and said, "Now that the rear supplies are tight, the order of the division seat is to let you go and guard the warehouse, so let's do it, I will place you in Sanli Town, our 88th Division has a material warehouse in Sanli Town, you can go there and garrison it." "Sanli Town is not in the urban area of Wuhan, and Director Huang is also entrusted by someone to make a stumbling block for Tang Cheng, he wants to force Tang Cheng to attack, so that he can report to the division headquarters and say that Tang Cheng is not inferior.

Director Huang, who put down the warrant, looked at Tang Cheng calmly, still playing with the dice in his hand, he was waiting for Tang Cheng to react. To Director Huang's surprise, Tang Cheng smiled and promised that he would leave for Sanli Town tomorrow. Damn, looking at Tang Cheng who went downstairs, Director Huang threw the dice angrily, this Tang City's city is very deep, and it is not as young and vigorous as Sun Shoucheng said. Yesterday morning, I received a telegram from Sun Shoucheng, saying that this Tang Cheng had offended their Sun family, and asked Director Huang to make it difficult for Tang Cheng, and it was best to force Tang Cheng to attack on the spot, so that they could discredit Tang Cheng in front of Zhong Bin.

The Sanli Town where Director Huang asked Tang Cheng and them to go was a warehouse of the 88th Division, but it was just an empty shell, there was nothing in the warehouse at all, and being sent to Sanli Town was equivalent to exile Tang Cheng and them. The warehouse in Sanli Town was just an empty shell, and it still needed someone to guard it, but Tang Cheng just agreed, and it was difficult for Director Huang to do it.

A half-old sitting opposite saw through Director Huang's thoughts, pointed at Director Huang with red nails, and smiled, "Old Huang, what's wrong, tell me what is on your mind." When Director Huang said what he was worried about, the woman lit a cigarette, and Lang smiled, "What should I do, what's so difficult about this." Just let them go, I heard the dead ghost in my family say that Sanli Town is Wang Mazi's territory, and it is estimated that they will not stay for a few days, and they will run back. ”

Tang Cheng, who went downstairs, naturally didn't know that Director Huang was calculating them, and Director Huang didn't know that Tang Cheng would agree to go to Sanli Town, not because Tang Cheng was so difficult to deal with, but because Tang Cheng was not familiar with Wuhan at all, and he didn't know where the Sanli Town of Lu Dao was. In Tang Cheng's view, the transfer of the second company to Wuhan is already a great thing, so that his brothers can stay away from the war and have a chance to recuperate from their injuries, for Tang Cheng, this is no less than the victory achieved by defeating the Mitsui squadron.

"Second master, Mrs. has explained, I'll go to the house when I'm done here, the wine and food have been prepared at home, and Mrs. is waiting to pick up the wind and wash the dust for the second master." Tang Cheng was still standing outside the gate of the left-behind place, and the few family members sent by the Huang family were already urging him repeatedly. The Huang family had already bought a mansion and shop in Wuhan, and when they learned that Tang Cheng was transferred to Wuhan to garrison, Mrs. Huang temporarily stopped the sale of the property, just to discuss with Tang Cheng before making a decision, she wanted to leave a place for Tang Cheng to settle down in Wuhan.

"There's no need to stay, the second company has been assigned to Sanli Town to guard the warehouse, and I don't have any impression of Wuhan, and I don't need to go into the city, what do you want such a big house to do, take advantage of the current price is good, sell it quickly." After walking around the Huang family's mansion, Tang Cheng, who already knew where Sanli Town was in Daodao, persuaded Mrs. Huang to continue selling the property, if the situation was tense, such a large mansion would not be easy to sell.

"On the way here, I took a good look at the map, Kunming is not bad, no matter how the Japanese army fights, they will never be able to hit Kunming." Tang Cheng, who was full of wine and food, accompanied Mrs. Huang to speak, and Tang Cheng did not have too much to say about Mrs. Huang's doubts about the current situation, so he could only persuade Mrs. Huang to go to Kunming to gain a foothold first. "My brother-in-law has been appointed to Kunming, and you can be regarded as having a care in the past, and it shouldn't be bad to open a restaurant or business."

"I think so too, your brother-in-law has already sent a letter, saying that the environment over there is better than that in Wuhan, and besides, he is now a person from the administrative department, and the officials in Kunming have to give him some thin noodles. Little brother, what do you mean by being this company commander, why don't you go to Kunming with us, our family wants money, money, people, and we can do a lot of things in Kunming. "Madame Huang is still trying to persuade Tang Cheng to go to Kunming, and it is a good helper to be able to lead a company to defeat thousands of bandits, Japanese soldiers, and traitors in a row.

"Sister, let's go first, there are still many brothers injured on my side, these people were born and died with me, I can't leave them here alone. Besides, the second company has now entered the eyes of the 88th Division, the 88th Division is not a third-rate army, if I follow you to Kunming, then I will become a deserter, and my brother-in-law's power can't save my life. "Tang Cheng dared to risk his death to meet the Mitsui squadron, just to attract the attention of the 88th Division, and he retreated after some success, so his previous arrangement would be in vain.
