"How many people are there? Are they our own people or little Japanese?" Tang Cheng suddenly stood up. He was shocked by the news brought back by the sentry. He stopped here to rest temporarily, and Liu Shitou took the few remaining soldiers of the Second Company.
The number of people was counted again. Excluding the dozen wounded who had lost the ability to fight, there were only 51 men in the Second Company who could still fight. In the battle at the village head alone, the Second Company lost at least 40 soldiers.
If it were the familiar terrain of the Second Company, the remaining 50 or so people would still have the ability to fight the Japanese army. But now they are just wandering in the woods, and everyone has already exhausted all their physical strength. If the Japanese army comes again,
The pursuit force, the remaining 51 men of the Second Company may not even be able to block the first round of Japanese attacks. Xu was anxiously asked by Tang Cheng, and the sentry who rushed back coughed twice, and then asked Tang Cheng
A smile bloomed on his face, "I look like Su Datong's group, with ordinary people following them."
After listening to the sentry's answer, Tang Cheng's heart dropped. As long as the ones coming were not Japanese soldiers, the Second Company couldn't bear the trouble now. But no matter who came, the preparations should still be made. In Tangcheng
At the signal, Laodongbei took all the machine guns of the Second Company and hid them in places where they were not easily discovered. The guns were pointed in the direction of the sentry leaving again. The sentry leaving again was sent by Tangcheng to meet Su Datong and the others, so as not to
Sometimes it may lead to misunderstandings and accidental injuries.
"Captain Tang, we have found you." Su Datong, who was covered in sweat, did not cry as soon as Tang Cheng imagined him. Instead, he greeted Tang Cheng, Niu Laogui and the others with a smile in his eyes.
"We escorted the people in the village into the forest, but we didn't wait for you to follow. Then the Japs opened fire, so we had to lead the people into the forest. Then we heard an explosion in the forest, and I guessed it was you."
I had sex with a kid, so I chased you here to have a look, but I didn’t expect to find you."
While chatting with Su Datong, Tang Cheng looked at the soldiers under Su Datong. Compared with the Second Company, the soldiers under Su Datong seemed much more energetic. However, Tang Cheng could hear that Su Datong was talking to him.
By that time, the previous arrogance had completely disappeared. Tang Cheng guessed that Su Datong and the others must have seen the two Japanese armored vehicles that the Second Company blew up on the highway. After all, not everyone can kill the Japanese armored vehicles.
Looking at the understanding Niu Laogui, Tang Cheng did not mention that the Second Company ambushed the Japanese armored vehicles just now. Compared with the Second Company's escape, the battle just now was not worth mentioning. "Company Commander Su
, I don’t know if you are familiar with the terrain here. We have discovered Japanese aircraft in the sky many times. If there is no suitable route to leave, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to bring these people back to the Japanese controlled area." Regarding Tangcheng.
When asked, Su Datong could only shake his head to express ignorance.
"Who among you is familiar with the terrain here? We are going towards Macheng now. I hope someone among you can stand up and lead the way for us." The people gathered in the woods were just busy with their own affairs, and no one paid any attention to Tangcheng.
, the angry Old Dongbei glared and was about to yell, but Tang Cheng shook his head to stop him. "I know some unpleasant things happened before, but this is a war, and the opinions of a few people can only be ignored. Now you are not only helping us."
, you are also helping yourselves. If you cannot leave here as soon as possible and go to a safe place, perhaps the Japanese pursuers will arrive soon."
In response to Tang Cheng's inference, Xu strode back from the guard post posted by Tang Cheng. The explosion that destroyed the Japanese armored vehicle not only attracted Su Datong and the others, but also attracted the Japanese pursuers.
The two soldiers who were left behind to serve as guards sprinted back at a speed of 100 meters, waving desperately as they ran. If they had bumped into one of their own, they would not have cried with joy. Look at the gesture of one of the soldiers.
It's like saying something is coming this way.
Tang Cheng suddenly felt bad in his heart. He suddenly remembered the Japanese armored troops roaring past the road. Whatever they were afraid of came. A gun barrel suddenly appeared in Tang's telescope, and then, the tank's turret
And the body also appeared. The distinctive appearance was the Japanese bean tank that Tangcheng had seen outside Nanjing. After the first bean tank appeared, the second and third ones also climbed up to Tangcheng.
The hill they were staring at was no more than three kilometers away from there along the road, and this distance was completely within the range of the Bean Tank tank gun.
Tang Cheng suddenly felt a little annoyed that he should not have ordered to enter this forest. The sparse trees could hardly provide effective cover for the second company, and the many trees in the woods that were as thick as a child's arm could not stop the Japanese bean tank from advancing. Facing the bean tank,
Weighing more than 3 tons, these thin trees were as fragile as toothpicks stuck in the soil. The three bean chariots that appeared in Tang City's sight formed a horizontal line and rushed towards this side.
Cheng also saw a few Japanese soldiers following the bean tank.
Just when Su Datong's first platoon leader pointed to the west and shouted, those bean tanks fired, and the people in the woods immediately ran in panic, but how could human legs be faster than the cannonballs? Only four or five seconds
Seconds later, three artillery shells from the Japanese rear tank roared over. Although the shooting of the moving tank was not very accurate, it could bombard targets in the area without difficulty. The three artillery shells landed on the north and west sides of the crowd respectively.
, the impact of the explosion immediately caused some unlucky people to fly out in the opposite direction, and the flying shrapnel made other people wail even more.
The Japanese tanks opened fire, and not only the common people were running around, but also Su Datong's soldiers joined the fleeing ranks. Only the men of the second company clenched their weapons and waited for Tang Cheng's order. Tang Cheng suddenly thought of Robert
I told myself a story about two people encountering a bear. The person who runs faster than his companion can naturally escape the bear's attack. At first glance, this principle seems to be applicable to the situation at hand.
Facing the three bean tanks and the covering infantry of the Japanese army, it was completely impossible for the Second Company and Su Datong's men to withstand the opponent's attack in a positional battle or a frontal encounter. Running desperately seemed to be the only way to escape.
.However, this is not the case. Since the resting place was relatively far back, the men of the Second Company were already at the back. In addition, the Second Company still had more than a dozen wounded people. Even if Tang Cheng ordered the Second Company to retreat,
They couldn't run faster than Su Datong's people. The Japanese army's target must be these people in military uniforms. Outpacing the common people did not count as escaping.
The shells fired by the Japanese tanks kept whizzing down, and explosions one after another could take away the lives of some or even all of them at any time, but the people who had already been bombed were running forward without looking back.
Although the soldiers of the second company were very frightened, under the supervision of veterans like Niu Laogui and others, they still crouched in the woods and waited for Tang Cheng's orders. This made Tang Cheng among them once again full of emotion. Feelings are feelings.
, taking the initiative to keep the queen behind under such circumstances, Tang Cheng knew that he and the people around him would be in trouble.
Tang Cheng bit his lower lip and seemed to have made up his mind, "Old Northeast, take your men, a German machine gun, a grenade, and 20 grenades and follow me. Uncle Niu, you take
Brothers, stay here passively. I will lead people to divert the Japs' tanks." Before Niu Laogui could object, Tang Cheng had already picked up the flower machine in his hand and ran towards the flank of the second company, running towards the side of the second company.
Japanese tanks opened fire in the distance.
Holding the flower machine tightly in his hand, Tang Cheng looked back sideways as he ran. There seemed to be only three Japanese tanks in his sight, but each one was followed by combat infantry. Seeing that Tang Cheng had already stood up and rushed out, carrying the
Lao Dongbei, the man with the mz42 machine gun, pointed at a few strong guys and ran to the flank behind Tang Cheng. Niu Laogui, who was ordered to stay in place by Tang Cheng, stared at Tang Cheng and the others leaving with wide eyes.
He also wanted to go, but he couldn't violate Tangcheng's military orders. Besides, the remaining soldiers of the Second Company also needed to make up their minds.
The artillery shells fired by the Japanese bean tanks fell from time to time, and the tree debris flying as the shells exploded hit him, making Tang Cheng scream in agony. Tang Cheng couldn't figure out how the Japanese bean tanks found themselves because of the quantity here.
How did they drive into the woods, but now is not the time to clarify these questions. The top priority is to divert these bean tanks. "Boom" The grenade brought out by Tang Cheng ejected a grenade, among which
A cloud of smoke rose from the back of a bean tank. I wonder if it was the grenade fired by the grenade that attracted the attention of the Japanese bean tank. The three rampaging bean tanks turned around and chased them towards Tangcheng.
.
"Go, go, don't stop, lead them to other places." Tang Cheng turned around and greeted Lao Dongbei. They ran as hard as they could. When they reached a small mound slightly above the ground, they could no longer run.
Tangcheng had no choice but to order preparations on the spot. This place was already on the edge of the woods, and beyond the hills was an endless expanse of wilderness. The bean chariot still showed no power in the woods, but once they drove out of the woods and entered the plains, they would
It would be a nightmare for people like these in Tangcheng.
7 people, 2 flower machine guns, 2 Mauser rifles, a Japanese 50mm grenade launcher, and a German MZ42 machine gun. With this weapon configuration and manpower, they can fight against three Japanese tanks and several tanks.
Ten Japanese troops covering the infantry was undoubtedly a fantasy. But Tang Cheng, who had fled up the mound, had no choice. Behind the mound was endless wilderness. In such terrain, they could not even fight against the Bean Chariot.
There is no chance. Here, they may still have a little terrain advantage.
