In an instant, the bridge was filled with smoke, and the sounds of gunfire and shouts of battle mingled together.
The Japanese attacks were repelled time and again, but they quickly organized new offensives and continued to surge towards the bridge. Although the Japanese attacks were fierce, they were unable to break through the obstruction and cross the bridge, and the two sides were once again locked in a stalemate.
Tang Shengkai's group wasn't the only one stuck in a stalemate; Tang Yue and her group, more than 100 kilometers away from the Qinling Mountains, were also in trouble.
"Auntie, can you be reasonable? I didn't say I didn't want it, but your price is too high."
"What? You think you're right to steal? Oh my, come and see! Everyone says soldiers don't take a single needle or thread from the people, but come on, come and see, these soldiers are stealing."
They even stole from ordinary people! This is absolutely outrageous! I'm going to report you to the Red Army. People like you deserve to be punished!
Li Tiezhu's face flushed red. Although he was strong and got along well with his comrades in the army, he wasn't good at arguing. Especially with ordinary people, and this ordinary person was an old woman.
But Li Tiezhu couldn't put the steamed buns in his hand anymore; the old lady wouldn't let him put them in her steamer no matter what she said.
"Auntie, I really just want to buy some steamed buns. Let me pick them up and take a look first. You can't wrong me like this. Besides, you're selling me a steamed bun for 50 yuan. Isn't that extortion?"
"What? I'm trying to scam you? Who said I'm scamming you? Didn't you pick up the bun yourself? If I hadn't stopped you, you would have stuffed it into your mouth. Doing this in broad daylight, dressed in a green military uniform, I could tell you're not a good person."
"Hurry up, either give me the money, or I'll report you to Hongbing. You choose."
A crowd had already gathered around them, and Tang Yue and the others were surrounded. Wang Ming, Sun Jinan, and a few others tried to defend Li Tieniu, but Chang Yin glared at them and silenced them. The group stood obediently in place, not daring to utter a single word.
Tang Yue watched with great interest. Li Tieniu was at a loss and wanted to ask for help when he saw his company commander's gloating expression.
Li Tieniu immediately objected, "Company Commander, say something! You know perfectly well that's not what I meant, this old lady has misunderstood me."
Tang Yue rolled her eyes at Li Tieniu, but before she could speak, the old lady selling steamed buns became curious, "Oh, how old is this child? Is he five? How can someone so young be a company commander?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, your team is no good, there's definitely something wrong with them, their character is questionable. You can tell your family members are high-ranking officials, otherwise, how could such a young child be an official?"
Li Tieniu: My dears, am I being wronged or not? You guys be the judge! Give me a five-star review, or watch the ad and give me a tip! This show has to keep going!
