Chapter 386: Chang Hero
The sun sets on the plain.
A team was marching slowly, with a dozen men in black riding bicycles hanging in front, followed by a sparse team of more than a hundred people, following behind at a distance.
Most of them wore yellow big-brimmed hats and yellow military uniforms of different shades. Many of them had patches sewn on their knees, elbows and shoulders. They wore tattered leggings whose color could not be seen clearly. Their straw sandals were covered with mud. Sweat dripped from their foreheads.
As we slid down, everyone's face looked exhausted. It was obvious that the journey took a long time.
Two of the team carried Czech light machine guns, and most carried Hanyang-made guns.
The leading soldier riding a bicycle at the front of the team was dressed in a militia outfit, wearing a hat on one side, and carrying a distinctive rifle. He wiped his unwashed black forehead with one hand, and his hands were covered with sweat.
The last swing caused a burst of yelling and curses from behind.
The big dog stopped and looked forward, turned around and asked the people around him: "You can reach the town before dark, but why can't you even see the town now?"
"It's not far. We can definitely get there before dark. Old Zhou told us to take this road. Hey, how about we take a rest? I really can't walk anymore." The military uniform behind him is still intact.
The man jumped off his bicycle and stopped.
The big dog looked around for a while, then turned to look at the team behind him: "If it hadn't been for the gang of gangsters on the road who wanted to rest because the sun was too hot, and it took so long, we should have arrived long ago."
"It's dark now, aren't we just on our way? Hey, if we go this way, if a spy in the team leaks the news, wouldn't it be all over?" A subordinate made a suggestion to the team's blatant march.
"So, you guys have to keep an eye on the team with your eyes wide open. If one person is missing, report it quickly and then don't worry about anything. Everyone will run away separately."
"Where to run?"
"As long as you go west and cross the blockade, you can go anywhere. Hehe, you can go to the wine station or go back to the village. Or you can go south to find the old army, if you are not afraid of being included in the death squad."
"Being a death squad? Do you think I'm that stupid?"
Lao Zhou stopped in front of him and ran to the front on his bicycle. He happened to hear the big dog's words. It was not surprising. These guys have such virtues.
He looked up at the sky, thought for a while and said, "If you work harder, we can reach the town before dark."
"What the hell, I have no problem. You have to see if those things in the back can hold on. Where's the girl?"
"On the stretcher in the back."
"It's such a burden. It can't walk ten miles. Now it can't even sit on a bicycle..."
?
It's already dark.
The town is quite small. There is a city wall around it, but it is just a broken brick wall. It is much different from the wall in the county town that can be used for horse racing. The traces of repairs in several places are obvious. It must have been experienced not long ago.
flames of war.
The city wall is not high, and it has not been dark for long. The city gate is still open, and a few men in black are guarding the door. They have already received the news that a team will pass by from the north, and the maintenance president has already prepared a reception in the town.
Prepare.
The team that finally arrived was no different from the security teams we had seen before. A few men in black were walking in front pushing bicycles.
Don't think that riding a bicycle is comfortable. It would be strange for anyone to ride leisurely for one day and still be able to walk the next day.
"Hey, brother, where did you come from? Why did you arrive so late?"
"What the hell, I'm the deputy commander of the County Wanjinqu People's Self-Defense Corps. What the hell are you calling a bird?" When dealing with these maintenance traitors, the harsher they speak, the less likely they are to be suspected. The big dog would have gone to those security guards.
The people in the group exchanged their experiences.
The traitor had no suspicion at all and just wanted to get closer. This scolding made me feel more at ease and comfortable.
A man in black hurriedly stepped forward to guide the way: "Brother, we are the detective team here. We have been waiting for you for a long time. Commander Wang asked our detective team to prepare food and drink for you. If you can find something useful, just give us your orders!"
The streets of the town were all paved with stone slabs, and finally no longer had to suffer from the dust when walking. People who entered the town began to slap the dust off their calves in unison, making the entire city gate a smoky mess.
Many people even took off their wet cloth shoes and walked barefoot on the stone streets of the town, which were still a bit hot to their feet.
"Hey, Big Dog, there is a kang seller over there!" One of Big Dog's soldiers' eyes lit up and he cooed at Tang Big Dog.
"Remember the place, we'll take the sentry job tonight." The big dog remained calm.
There were quite a lot of people coming, and the traitors in the detective team looked confused. This security group should be called the Self-Defense Group. When did the team move so neatly? Didn't it mean that they were fighting among themselves? The commander was promoted to heaven and changed his surname to Sun.
But I didn’t see anyone who looked like the commander? Could it be that Commander Sun didn’t come?
However, the commander has just rebelled, so it is normal not to come. It is not bad to send a deputy commander.
In the town hall, another team was eating, drinking, and fist-fighting. When they saw a new team coming in, it caused a commotion, and they drew their guns and knives on guard.
These things don't look that good either. They have food, drink and fun, and there isn't even a guard posted at the door. Unlike Tian Sanqi, who as soon as he entered the town, he arranged for someone to take over the job of standing guard in the north of the town.
As a result, the two security regiments met in the town hall compound.
The leader who arrived first had heard the day before yesterday that the county Wanjinqu Self-Defense Regiment's cottage had changed its leader. The leaders of each cottage were watching the excitement. Everything had to be settled before going to give a generous gift to the new leader.
The man surnamed Gou relied on the strength of his numbers and did not pay attention to the commanders around him. He also controlled a mountain goods channel and had his own order. If he died, he would die. No one of the commanders who usually call him brothers would care about him.
He took revenge.
You know, the self-defense group is known as the Thousand-Man Gun to the outside world. Who dares to get into trouble easily?
A strong man stood up from the dining table, holding a wine glass and walked straight to the front of the team that had just entered.
But I saw people pouring in from behind, and the vastness was quite spectacular. If I looked carefully, I saw that most of them were carrying large guns, two machine guns, and countless short guns, and several of them were equipped with both long and short guns.
The self-defense group is said to have a thousand people, but the marching and standing formation is simply beyond what these ragtag groups can match.
The strong man who came in first immediately felt a sense of oppression. The opponent looked similar to the people on his side, but it was obvious that their fighting power was stronger. He even felt as if the opponent was like a thousand troops!
I heard that the man surnamed Gou was born in the military. He is such a well-trained soldier, and I am such a good boy. Why don't people suddenly want to make friends with him?
Seeing the people who came in, there were no familiar faces, and the guy felt a little nervous. It wasn't until President Sui trotted out of the house that he relieved his embarrassing situation: "Oh, you guys have been traveling all day, it's been really hard.
, I, Song Gongming, the maintenance president of this town, received news yesterday that your troops are going to pass through the town, so please prepare some drinks to cleanse the heroes!"
"Song Gongming? Ah, are you the one on Liangshan Mountain in the east?" Everyone thought that Tang Dagou walking in front was the leader of the team, but they didn't expect that a pigtail appeared behind the hero.
The relatively strong hero who arrived first and the sustaining president immediately dropped their jaws to the ground.
By the way, if the head of the family doesn’t speak, who else will speak? Don’t you understand any rules?
With the help of the torch lit in the town hall courtyard, I looked carefully at the girl, and she looked very heroic.
It is not a strange thing for the heads of various cottages to let their children come out to see the world.
"What should we call these heroines?" Seeing that Tang Dagou was speechless, President Sui quickly picked up his chin and changed the target of his speech.
The girl's big black eyes rolled, and she immediately made a small fist: "I don't dare to be a hero. My aunt's last name is Hongying!"
I’ve watched this guy’s drama too much, and his answers are pretty good.
President Sui is still a little confused. Didn’t he say that the new commander of the self-defense group is named Sun?
This guy named Chang appears, what is his origin?
No matter what his background is, just serve them tonight and two meals tomorrow morning, and then send these plague gods away.
He smiled and made an invitation gesture: "Haha, it turns out to be Chang Yingxiong. Hurry up and sit inside. The drinks are ready."
