In fact, even without Tangcheng's participation, the Eighth Route Army would conduct relevant research and modifications on direct firepower in the future, because in the history of weapons of the Eighth Route Army, direct-fire mortars have once appeared as a critical weapon. But now, due to the emergence and planning of Tangcheng, this kind of modified weapons, which will only appear in a few years, I believe that it will appear in the weapons and equipment of the Eighth Route Army soon.
The Shanghai War had many twists and turns. With the increasing number of casualties among the elite troops of the Chinese Army and the arrival of follow-up Japanese troops, the Shanghai War, which originally looked promising, has gradually turned into a flesh-and-blood grinding mill. The newspapers and radio were full of bad news. Chongqing families whose children were in the Sichuan Army were paying close attention to the war in Shanghai. At this time, Tang Cheng's old injury unexpectedly recurred, and Zhang Jianghe once again forcibly locked him up in the backyard of the military camp to rest.
"Xiaowu, let me tell you, this visit from Nanjing is definitely not a good thing. If you want to bring trouble to your mother and those younger brothers and sisters, then just run around and mess around! "Zhang Jianghe was obviously not joking with Tang Cheng this time. Not only did he speak sharply when facing Tang Cheng, but he also looked very serious. Tang Cheng also knew that Zhang Jianghe would never harm him. Seeing that Zhang Jianghe didn't seem to be joking, Tang Cheng had no choice but to stay in the backyard of the military camp.
It was a good thing to have people coming from the Nanjing headquarters, but Zhang Jiang and his old friends far away in the Nanjing headquarters secretly communicated with Zhang Jiang and secretly. Zhang Jiang and's first reaction after learning the inside story was to hide Tangcheng. stand up. "Stationmaster Zhang, I heard that you have a nephew named Tang Cheng. Why don't you call him over and let's talk!" Those who came from Nanjing were not just people from the Intelligence Department, there was also a man named Xie, who was said to be from the Ministry of National Defense. The person speaking at the moment was the man named Xie. Zhang Jianghe just glanced sideways at the other person, but did not answer the other person's words.
Seeing that Zhang Jianghe ignored him, Xie Zhonglin felt a little angry, but he knew that this was Chongqing and not Nanjing, so he suppressed the anger in his heart without any change in his expression. The man from the Nanjing headquarters of the Intelligence Agency was named Wang Xianzhe. Although he and Zhang Jianghe were not old friends, they were still old acquaintances. When he saw Zhang Jianghe and Xie Zhonglin carrying him, he secretly touched Zhang Jianghe's leg under the table.
Knowing that Wang Xianzhe was kindly reminding him, Zhang Jianghe appreciated it, but still treated Xie Zhonglin coldly. "Old Zhang, the higher-ups sent us here this time. One reason is for the modified cannon you mentioned. The second reason is for your nephew. The Rangers performed well in the Shanghai theater, but the casualties were too high after all. The higher-ups are planning to set up a second special force to rush to Shanghai to assist in the war. Someone said that your nephew is very skilled and has carried out many assassinations against the Japanese invaders in Shanghai and succeeded, so..."
Before Wang Xianzhe finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhang Jianghe, "No way, this matter is not negotiable!" Zhang Jianghe looked at Wang Xianzhe and others with a serious face and said angrily. "Before you came to Chongqing, did you read the information about Tangcheng carefully? You, Wang Xianzhe, should know who Tangcheng's father is, right? You should know how his father died, right? He is the last bloodline in his family. Could it be that his father He has already sacrificed his life for the country, why don't you want to destroy his Tang family bloodline?"
When Zhang Jianghe mentioned Tang Cheng's father, Wang Xianzhe's heart skipped a beat. He was also an old man from the Intelligence Department. How could he not know who Tang Cheng's father was? He had received a medal after his death. "Old Zhang, don't be anxious. I just said that casually. Your nephew is the only one in the family, so we can't force him. You need to calm down first." Wang Xianzhe hurriedly apologized to Zhang Jiang, but in his heart The person who told the story had already been scolded bloody.
Because of Zhang Jianghe's sudden fall, the feast was a feast for the eyes. After Zhang Jianghe, who had a dark face the whole time, left, Xie Zhonglin asked Wang Xianzhe about Tangcheng. "Tang Cheng's father is an old man from the intelligence service. He died for his country while arresting Japanese spies last year. Even according to the regulations for recruiting soldiers, he can be exempted from military service in this situation. What's more, when his father died, He also won a medal." Not only because he wanted to conceal it deliberately, but also for other reasons, Wang Xianzhe did not speak very carefully about the matter in Tangcheng.
Xie Zhonglin felt relieved after hearing this. Xie Zhonglin, who was born in a well-known family, had never been treated like this before. He thought that since Zhang Jianghe valued this man named Tang Cheng so much, he would force him to join the army. Xie Zhonglin's original mission was to come to Chongqing to receive the modified cannon, but Zhang Jianghe made him angry. The impatient Xie Zhonglin planned to teach Zhang Jianghe a lesson, but he underestimated how quickly the situation would change.
After breaking up with Xie Zhonglin and his party on bad terms, Zhang Jianghe did not return to Chongqing Station immediately after leaving. Instead, he went to the military camp to visit Tang Cheng and informed Tang Cheng of what had just happened. After 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, when soldiers come, they will cover up the water and the earth! What's more, you just said that they came to Chongqing Mainly because of the modified cannon. I’m not a popular person, how can they forcefully take me away?”
Tang Cheng persuaded Zhang Jianghe, but he was actually thinking about countermeasures in his heart. Judging from Zhang Jianghe's words and attitude just now, the people from the Intelligence Division headquarters are not a cause for concern. The main reason is that the guy surnamed Xie from the Ministry of National Defense is very good. trouble. Zhang Jianghe didn't know that Tang Cheng was already thinking about countermeasures. He came to the military camp just to want Tang Cheng to be mentally prepared in advance. "Anyway, you should be careful these days. If nothing happens, don't leave this military camp. There are too many people under you." Wink more."
Zhang Jianghe's words reminded Tangcheng that he was no longer alone. There were dozens of old policemen under his command! After Zhang Jianghe left, Tang Cheng asked a child to go to the front yard to call Zhao Dashan and Lao Fu, and told them what Zhang Jianghe had just said to him. "There is something obviously wrong with the Ministry of Defense's surname Xie, but I can't imagine that I have anything to do with their Ministry of Defense. When I was in Nanjing last year, I didn't seem to have offended anyone from the Ministry of Defense!"
Tang Cheng believed that he had never offended anyone from the Ministry of National Defense, but Lao Fu, who was experienced in society, had a different view. "Captain, think about it carefully. When you were still in Nanjing, did you ever offend someone with a special background?" Guys. Let me tell you, guys like these who are born with backgrounds often work in groups. As long as you offend one of them, you will become a public enemy of them. The person named Xie is from the Ministry of National Defense Maybe he is one of those people."
Lao Fu's words may seem absurd when you first hear them, but if you calm down and think about them carefully, they actually make some sense. After hearing this, Tang Cheng carefully recalled what happened when he was still in Nanjing. If he did not count the several conflicts with Zhongtong, he had not offended any powerful people. Could it be that the man named Xie is related to Zhongtong? This idea just flashed in Tang Cheng's mind, and was immediately rejected by Tang Cheng, because he knew that if the Zhongtong wanted to trick someone, he would never do it through the hands of others.
But if the person named Xie is not for Zhongtong, then what is it for? Tang Cheng was puzzled, and finally had to tell Zhao Dashan to try his best to restrain his veteran policemen to act carefully during this period. Zhang Jianghe hopes that Tang Cheng will not go out for a while, and Tang Cheng also wants Zhao Dashan to restrain his veteran police officers to be careful. Both of them hope to get through this trouble safely, but some troubles are not just something you can avoid if you want to. of.
Xie Zhonglin has been wandering around Chongqing city a lot in the past two days. He not only went to Chongqing Station to see the modified cannon, but also went to labor reform farms and student training camps on the outskirts of the city. After all, he was from a well-known family. With his neat military uniform and major rank mark, Xie Zhonglin, who was well-spoken and well-spoken, quickly became involved with several students and found out a lot about Tangcheng from their mouths, and also knew about the nearby labor camp. It is also related to Tangcheng.
The manpower deployed by Tang Cheng on the farm quickly reported the situation to the military camp, but Tang Cheng did not take it seriously after learning about it. "Don't pay attention to him. As long as he's not inquiring about sensitive things, don't pay attention to him. The training camp and the farm involve a lot of people. I'd like to see what the man named Xie wants to do. If he wants to talk about the training camp and the farm, The reaction speed of other people may not be slower than ours." Tang Cheng seemed to be afraid that Xie Zhonglin wouldn't cause trouble, with a proud smile in his eyes.
The labor reform farm in the suburbs has already gone through its third round of expansion. Ever since Wang Bingzhang and the men of the garrison discovered that crackdown operations could effectively ensure the number of workers on the farm, the efforts to clean up gangsters in the city have been increasing day by day, and sometimes even The garrison will also send people to participate in the arrest. In other words, the labor camp outside the city now affects the interests of too many people. If Xie Zhonglin wants to cause trouble with the labor camp, he will definitely be beaten to death in the end.
Today is already Xie Zhonglin's third day in Chongqing. Tangcheng is waiting for him to make the first move, but Xie Zhonglin has not made any move yet. "Captain, do you think that Xie is scared? We all gave him time. We can't just hide our tails between our legs just because he came to Chongqing, right?" It was Yang who was responsible for tracking Xie Zhonglin. Cheng, if Tang Cheng hadn't tried his best to stop him, Xie Zhonglin might have been drowned in the Jialing River by Yang Cheng.
"Don't worry about whether he is afraid or not, let's just do our own thing!" Tang Cheng, who was nestled in the recliner, was smoking with a contented look on his face. "For a person like him, the more you talk to him, the more arrogant he becomes. Just don't talk to him. Let's see what he can do." Tang Cheng said that he should ignore Xie Zhonglin, but the intensity of surveillance in private was... Not relaxed at all.
