Tang Cheng was in a bad mood after leaving Chongqing Station, so Lao Fu took it upon himself to drive to the labor camp outside the city. After the second round of severe crackdowns, the labor camp outside the city finally replenished its manpower. Compared to when Tang Cheng first came back from Shanghai, the farm looked a little more lively, and various outputs were also much higher. It was a coincidence that Tang Cheng came here today. The breeding farm of the labor camp happened to be killing pigs, so Tang Cheng happily stayed here and had a meal of killing pigs.
"Captain Tang, you are a rare guest! Have you forgotten all our brothers?" The person who spoke was the first battalion commander of the local garrison. He once wanted to teach Tang Cheng a lesson under the pretext of a competition. However, he was defeated by Tang Cheng in two moves. If anyone in the garrison admired Tang Cheng the most, it was the commander of the first battalion in front of him named Zheng Wenshan. Tangcheng happened to encounter a pig slaughtering farm today, but Zheng Wenshan and the others were waiting here early to eat meat and drink wine.
"What a rare visitor! We are all our own, don't make these false moves!" Zheng Wenshan may seem rude but is actually shrewd, but he never hides anything in front of Tang Cheng. Tang Cheng likes to deal with this kind of straightforwardness. Tang Cheng ignored the wine glass in Zheng Wenshan's hand, grabbed the teacup in front of him, and took the initiative to touch it with him. Tang Cheng did not drink. This was something everyone in the garrison knew. Zheng Wenshan originally wanted to take this opportunity to coax and force Tang Cheng to drink, but he did not expect that Tang Cheng's reaction was not slow and he immediately took the initiative.
Watching Tang Cheng raise his head and drink up the herbal tea in the cup, Zheng Wenshan had no choice but to raise his glass and drink up the wine in the cup. However, after he put down the glass, he did not sit back immediately, but directly came to Tang Cheng. Around the city. "Captain Tang, you are well-informed. The situation is becoming more and more incomprehensible now, and we are getting more and more panicked. Can you reveal some inside information to us, so that we can feel at ease? !”
Everyone present was his own, but Zheng Wenshan deliberately lowered his voice to speak. This behavior made Tang Cheng feel so embarrassed that goosebumps appeared on his arms. After Tang Cheng heard this, he had no choice but to look around at the crowd and saw that everyone else was staring at him without blinking. He deserved to give Zheng Wenshan a roll of his eyes before he put down his teacup and spoke slowly. "First of all, let me tell you, this is not insider information. Anyone who has read the recent newspapers may think so."
"Let's talk about the war first. Although the Japanese army seems to have slowed down the rhythm and speed of the attack, the Chinese army has also exhausted its previous preparations. Both the soldiers' energy and material supplies have been exhausted. Personally, We believe that the next step will be a long period of confrontation, and then the Japanese army will actively look for opportunities to attack and loopholes in our army, while we will continue to organize resistance while opening up a second battlefield behind enemy lines. This will prevent the Japanese army from looking at both ends. , and then prolong the front line, consuming their troops and supplies."
Strictly speaking, Tang Cheng was not a member of the police system, but he was not a member of the military command either. However, the words he said at this moment caused Zheng Wenshan and others to fall into deep thought. Among the people present, only Tang Cheng was not in the military ranks, but his insight just now was not comparable to that of Zheng Wenshan and others. After a while, Zheng Wenshan finally spoke, "Captain Tang, do you mean that this battle is still going to be fought?" After Zheng Wenshan said this, the others all looked at Tang Cheng, obviously This is what they care about most.
"Everyone, this is a national war, a national war that determines the survival of the Chinese nation. How can it end in just a few years!" Tang Cheng reached out and grabbed the cigarettes on the table, lit one for himself first, and then Continue speaking. "The Japanese army is well-trained, well-equipped, and supported by the whole country. On the other hand, our army lacks the necessary training and weapons and equipment. Now it is just using the bloody courage of its officers and soldiers to resist the Japanese army. We want to end this war in a short time. , it’s simply impossible and unrealistic.”
How could Zheng Wenshan and others not know what Tang Cheng was saying now? Everyone's mood also became depressed with Tang Cheng's words. Tang Cheng, who secretly paid attention to everyone's reaction, smiled slightly when he saw this, "Of course, we are not without chances and advantages. China has a vast land, rich resources, and a large population. The chairman is also implementing a time-for-space plan. As long as the frontline troops can temporarily withstand it, Wait until the troops in the rear are trained, the strength advantage alone will be enough for the Japanese army to drink!"
Tang Cheng's words were obviously to encourage Zheng Wenshan and others, but Zheng Wenshan and others did not think so. The front lines were defeated one after another. After the national army lost Shanghai, they lost the capital of Nanjing. ** have all moved to Wuhan. Seeing that this war is becoming more and more unfavorable to China, little characters like Zheng Wenshan and others hear bad news all day long. How can they not panic? "I asked you, can you have some confidence in yourselves?" The reactions of Zheng Wenshan and others made Tang Cheng dumbfounded.
"As the old saying goes, there are specialties in the arts! Although the garrison is only a local establishment and is an inferior armed force in the army, you are all locals after all, and you can be regarded as local cowards. Compared with outsiders, you are more powerful than outsiders. The environment and situation in Chongqing are more familiar. I personally believe that in the current environment, the garrison also has the responsibility to defend the territory and should contribute its own strength and role to this country." mentioned in Tangcheng Discourse Zheng Wenshan and others were obviously not interested when it came to protecting the land, but when Tang Cheng said the last words, Zheng Wenshan and others were finally able to cheer up.
There are benefits to following Tangcheng. This is the common consensus of all the officers in the garrison. The labor camp outside the city alone has made them fat. Seeing that Zheng Wenshan and others finally looked up at him again, Tang Cheng continued, "This battle has been going on so far. I believe that just based on the news from the front, you should have a rough idea of the Japanese army's attack pattern. Understanding. Once an inferior armed force like your garrison is brought to the front, it may not even be able to withstand an attack by the Japanese army of equal strength."
"Chongqing is a good place. I like this mountain city very much, especially the human atmosphere here. I am also willing to do something for this mountain city and the people here. Chongqing is considered the rear area at the moment, but with the continuous attacks of the Japanese army, Chongqing One day he will become the target of the Japanese army." At this point, Tang Cheng suddenly stopped talking, pointed at an officer opposite him who seemed to be talking with a cigarette and smiled.
"I know what you want to say. It's just that Sichuan is very dangerous and the terrain restrictions prevent the Japanese army from investing more troops at once even if they want to attack in an all-out way. It's just that you have forgotten that the emergence of aircraft and artillery has already changed the pattern of war. model. What would you do if the Japanese army used warships to go up the river? What would you do if the Japanese army used aircraft to carry out all-out bombing of Chongqing? By then, even if the Japanese army would not be able to invade Sichuan, their aircraft and artillery would be enough to destroy everything in Sichuan. .”
"What's the use of guarding a place where you can't do anything?" Tang Cheng's series of questions made Zheng Wenshan and others' expressions change drastically. For a moment, several people didn't know how to answer. Tangcheng. At this moment, Tang Cheng was just smoking silently, without saying a word. He just kept looking around at the reactions of Zheng Wenshan and others. After finishing a cigarette, under the earnest eyes of Zheng Wenshan and others, Tang Cheng finally spoke.
"If I were you, I should now find ways to organize and collect necessary weapons and equipment, and at the same time actively train your soldiers. Even if you are not dragged to the front line, at least you must make your soldiers look like soldiers. No matter what, this is our home, here are our families, relatives and friends, even if it is for them, you should work hard!" Tang Cheng's words discouraged Zheng Wenshan and others who had just mustered up some courage. Training their soldiers to become elite means they will be pulled to the front line, which is not what they want.
The reaction of Zheng Wenshan and others at this moment was already expected by Tang Cheng. After a chuckle, Tang Cheng spoke softly. "If you think this is not possible, then you might as well just disband and return home. With your current family background, you can become a rich man!" When Tang Cheng said these words, Zheng Wenshan and others all changed their expressions. If they didn't have the Protected by military uniforms, it is simply a joke for people like them who want to live like rich people. People who have offended them before will never let them off easily after taking off their military uniforms.
"This won't work, and that won't work. It seems that your defense team has only the last way to go!" After Tang Cheng deliberately paused, he finally said what he wanted to say most. "You all know what I do. My main purpose in hunting down Japanese and puppet spies lurking in Chongqing is to ensure the tranquility of Chongqing. Without the Japanese and puppet spies lurking in the city, the Japanese army would not be able to obtain information related to Chongqing. According to the intelligence, the Japanese planes are coming, and there is no internal response to provide them with bombing guidance..."
Tang Cheng spoke faster and faster, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zheng Wenshan. "You just said that we are locals and are familiar with the environment and conditions in Chongqing. Do you mean that you want our garrison to do the same thing as you?" Zheng Wenshan's words instantly awakened several others. yes! The entire garrison was all locals from Chongqing. If they were familiar with Chongqing, no one in the garrison would say that they were willing to stay behind.
"I'm not telling you to grab jobs at the Chongqing Station. My suggestion is that your garrison regiment should be more streamlined and streamlined. First, eliminate some soldiers with poor abilities and send them to labor camps to serve as guards. The remaining ones will be streamlined and formed into a company. Small groups at the platoon level are stationed around Chongqing, guarding all channels in and out of Chongqing. As long as your garrison group can completely guarantee the stability of this mountain city of Chongqing, I think the big guys above should be able to see it. Your hard work and hard work.”
