Does a defeated army count as a soldier? A defeated army is naturally a soldier. Since it is a soldier, it must be controlled by the Ministry of Military Affairs. The Ministry of Military and Political Affairs is still in Wuhan and has not moved south. The defeated troops who retreated to Chongqing are temporarily placed in a reception center outside the city. It was the Chongqing Municipal Government that was supposed to be in charge of the reception station. Unfortunately, it was a pity that when the scholar encountered the soldiers, he could not explain it. The two station chiefs stationed by the Chongqing Municipal Government at the reception station were forced to hide back in the city by the defeated soldiers, both overtly and covertly. .
There is no one in charge of the shelter, so the money, food and supplies that should have been distributed to the shelter are nowhere to be found. It's okay for the defeated soldiers with minor injuries. At least they can go to the city to work part-time in exchange for money to eat. Those seriously injured soldiers can only lie in the shelter and wait to die of hunger. It only took half an hour for Tang Cheng and his people to arrive at the shelter, and they had completely figured out why there were so many defeated troops in the city, so he was a little reluctant to take action.
"Send someone to the labor camp immediately, and invite the farm's doctor here first to see their injuries!" It should be the responsibility of the Chongqing government to allocate money, food and materials to the shelter. Tangcheng can pay for the doctors to treat the people here. There are wounded soldiers, but you cannot go overboard and use your own money to get food for these defeated soldiers. Zhao Dashan and the others were originally aggressive and prepared to follow Tang Cheng to the shelter to cause trouble, but they did not expect that they would now become the opposite party.
Tang Cheng was a ruthless man at heart, but his ruthlessness was aimed at the Japanese. Facing these defeated troops who had retreated due to injuries from the war, Tang Cheng really could not be tougher. Tang Cheng's commotion at the shelter outside the city was quickly learned by Yu Haiguang and Zhang Jianghe at Chongqing Station. After hearing the reports from their subordinates, Yu Haiguang and Zhang Jianghe had different expressions, but they were both thinking in their hearts. He secretly wondered what kind of trick Tang Cheng was playing.
According to Zhang Jianghe's understanding of Tang Cheng, he originally thought that Tang Cheng would take this opportunity to make a big fuss, but he did not expect that Tang Cheng seemed to have changed his personality. Instead of causing trouble, he asked his men to hire doctors and go to the shelter to treat the wounded soldiers. "This child looks very much like his late father. He is a kind-hearted person!" Zhang Jianghe suddenly noticed the probing look on Yu Haiguang's face from the corner of his eye. Zhang Jianghe, whose heart skipped a beat, hurriedly found an unknown person for Tang Cheng. Excuses for solution.
They are both old men in the military. Yu Haiguang was able to become the stationmaster of Chongqing Station. Although it was mostly luck, he himself was also very capable. It was a good thing that Zhang Jianghe didn't speak. He was so eager to help Tang Cheng find excuses, but Yu Haiguang immediately understood his intention. "Old Zhang, Tang Cheng's father and I know each other. Besides, this kid has never lost his manners in front of me. I can't afford to embarrass a child!" Yu Haiguang's words were a statement of attitude to Zhang Jianghe.
"I just don't understand. According to what you said before, this guy from Tangcheng is planning to take advantage of this incident to start the third round of crackdown in the city. I haven't heard that he has any relationship with the military! How is this? Has it suddenly changed?" Yu Haiguang's suspicion aroused the same feeling in Zhang Jianghe, and the shelter outside the city specifically for the defeated soldiers was a good intervention point. But this kid from Tangcheng made a decision that they didn't expect. Could it be that there was something inside that they didn't know about?
With deep doubts, after Yu Haiguang and Zhang Jianghe discussed it, under the pretext of supporting Tangcheng, they immediately dispatched the medical department of Chongqing Station to rush to the shelter outside the city to find out what was going on. Throughout the morning, Tang Cheng stayed at the reception station outside the city. The broken soldiers who injured the members of the search team had also been identified. Now he was squatting in front of Tang Cheng with a big bowl of rice in his hands, sweating profusely, each of them digging rice into his mouth desperately.
"Eat slowly, there is plenty of rice. As long as you can eat it, you can eat whatever you want." The sight of these defeated soldiers eating made Tang Cheng's eyes jump. He was not pity for the rice, but worried about these few. The goods accidentally choked themselves to death here. After each person had eaten two large bowls of rice, the defeated soldiers finally slowed down in eating rice in their mouths. The leader of them, the second lieutenant of the national army, had already put down his rice bowl and stared at Tang Cheng's fingers without blinking. Cigarettes held between legs.
Although he knew that the other party was pretending on purpose, his evil face still made Tang Cheng feel softer. A whole box of unopened cigarettes and a box of matches were handed to the national army second lieutenant named Yue by Tang Cheng. When the other party was busy lighting up his cigarette, Tang Cheng asked him. "According to the arrangement of the Chongqing Municipal Government, there was originally a person in charge at the shelter. Why did you drive away the person in charge? Without the person in charge, there will be no one to contact the city government to allocate supplies. If not, who are you hungry for?"
"Bullshit! Who said we beat that Four Eyes away? The food he supplied us was full of sand. Can't we tell others? And our injured brothers said there was a shortage of medicines, but we just said If we don't find a few Chinese medicine doctors to take a look, Si Yan will turn his back on the spot. He also says that even if we find doctors from outside, the shelter will not have the money to pay for medical treatment. For this reason, we have items that can be exchanged for money. They were all sent to the pawnshop in the city."
After hearing the words of the second lieutenant surnamed Yue, Tang Cheng did not respond immediately. He only listened to one side of the words, and it was difficult for Tang Cheng to make a decision. "Okay, now there are doctors treating your injured brothers. Now tell me, what else do you want?" Tang Cheng gradually sat up straight at this moment, his eyes full of warning. "Before you are reorganized, you can only stay in this shelter. If I find out that you are going to the city to cause trouble again, the food you will eat next time will not be rice."
Tang Cheng's words were a warning, and they were also a reminder to all the defeated soldiers here. Several of the defeated soldiers under Second Lieutenant Yue were about to yell and curse, but they discovered that a group of young soldiers with guns and live ammunition had appeared behind Tang Cheng at some point. "Don't worry, they are not real soldiers yet. These young people are just reserve forces in the nearby student training camp. While you are fighting in the front, we in the rear are not idle. At least more than half of the school-age students in Chongqing are They are just one of the groups receiving military training."
The sudden appearance of the student army made Second Lieutenant Yue and his defeated soldiers at a loss what to say. They were basically stragglers who were separated from the army. They were routed and reorganized along the way. Then they broke up and headed south, finally arriving in Chongqing. Originally, they had given up any hope for the war, so because of a little grievance at the shelter, they drove away the person in charge and ran into the city to cause trouble. But now, the young and immature faces behind Tang Cheng made the defeated soldiers who were lucky enough to escape feel at a loss.
The student training camp has been ongoing for the past two years. More than half of the school-age students in Chongqing have received some degree of military training in this training camp. Although this student training camp is not as good as a real military school, once they put on military uniforms and are equipped with weapons and equipment, these student soldiers are at least stronger than the veteran soldiers in the garrison. "You all came to Chongqing from the front as wounded soldiers. Since you are wounded soldiers, you should look like wounded soldiers." As Tang Cheng spoke, he stood up from his chair.
"Starting from today, the guard work of the shelter will be taken over by student soldiers. Everyone who enters and exits the shelter, no matter who they are, must register and enter and exit according to their documents. Starting from the center of the shelter and extending 2 kilometers outward, all Return to the student training camp and be on guard. Within this range, you can move freely." Tang Cheng had no intention of making any big arguments to the defeated soldiers in the detention center. He transferred the student soldiers here to take over the place forcefully.
"You will not be short of supplies here, but these supplies are not given to you for free. I have a small request, and I hope you can take it seriously." Looking at the expression and reaction of Second Lieutenant Yue, Tang Cheng knew that the other party did not resist. Psychologically, when there was no response from the city government, my actions were already a timely help. "These student soldiers have only received basic military training, such as formation, shooting and military regulations. You have all truly fought life and death battles. I hope you can select some good players and continue to train these student soldiers."
"You serve as temporary instructors, and we provide the necessary materials for the shelter. This is a fair deal between us." Tang Cheng did not mention the purpose of training these student soldiers, and the second lieutenant surnamed Yue did not ask too many questions. A silent agreement was reached. In fact, when he came here from Tangcheng, he already had an idea in his mind. He was going to use this incident to give himself another layer of protection.
"I want a shelter outside the city, and I want to be the head of the shelter!" After returning to the military camp, Tang Cheng immediately went to find Zhang Jianghe, but as soon as he entered the door, he went straight to the point and made this request, but Zhang Jiang and Hao were ignored. A huge jump. How could Zhang Jianghe, the deputy director of the Chongqing station, not know what the situation was like at the reception station outside the city? It would be fine if there were just a single defeated army, but as long as the defeated soldiers gathered in a group, it would be difficult to deal with.
"Uncle, don't worry. I dare to say so. Naturally, I have my own methods and ideas! But I can't speak to the city government. I have to ask uncle for help. It's best to come forward in the name of Chongqing Station. On the city government side, I think the big guys in the city government might be eager to throw this hot potato out."
Zhang Jianghe didn't understand what Tang Cheng meant at first, but when Tang Cheng suggested using the name of Chongqing Station to go to the city government, Zhang Jianghe finally understood what Tang Cheng was thinking. It has to be said that Tang Cheng's idea is very bold. If it succeeds, it will not only be extremely beneficial to the military commander, but also more beneficial to Tang Cheng and himself.
