Looking at the dozens of people from the Second Company gathered around, Tang Cheng, who advocated the night attack, was about to burst into tears. He glanced at Old Northeast quickly, then quickly got into the cab of a car and started the truck. He reversed, turned, and drove.
In the room, Tang Cheng drove the car with one hand, stretched out the window with the other and slapped the car door vigorously, while still shouting at Lao Dongbei and others to get in the car and retreat.
A shell roared out of nowhere, leaving little time for Old Northeast to dodge. Fortunately, the power of the mortar shells was also relatively limited. The shells exploded on the mud in front with a loud bang, sputtering into the air.
The mud instantly swept across Lao Dongbei's face, like a vicious big slap that immediately knocked Lao Dongbei to the ground. Lao Dongbei was stunned, but after a moment, his head suddenly became clear again, and his thoughts were spinning very fast, and he picked it up immediately.
He picked up the mz42 that had fallen by his feet and climbed into the car, while he was still beckoning the people from the second company to get on the car.
Disturbed by the shells, Tang Cheng in the cab moved the steering wheel and the truck turned slightly outward. With the belief of survival, Tang Cheng stepped on the accelerator without hesitation. Even if the bullets whizzed past his ears,
The roar of the enemy soldiers was very close, and he did not waste even half a second. At this moment, Lao Dongbei, who had climbed into the back of the truck, was picking up the mz42 and firing violently, and it was obviously also in a short time.
It played a certain suppressive effect on the Japanese pursuing troops.
There was a crisp sound, and a bullet fired by the Japanese army penetrated the cab door. A heartbreaking pain suddenly came from his left leg. Tang Cheng almost screamed out in pain. Needless to say, it was his left leg.
He was injured by the bullet and bit his lip. Tang Cheng, who had no time to worry about this, looked forward, increased the accelerator, raised the speed of the truck to the fastest speed and rushed out of the camp. The sound of machine guns in the carriage stopped and rang again.
Okay, this is the last bullet chain for Laodongbei and the others, and even the gun barrel is the last one. If Tangcheng cannot break out of the camp before the machine gun bullets are exhausted, all of them will be left here.
With the harsh sound of brakes, the truck suddenly stopped. Driven by inertia, the soldiers in the carriage had no time to stretch out their hands for support, and their bodies slammed to the left against the hard carriage board. The old man was shooting from the carriage with a machine gun.
Dongbei suffered the worst fall. Not only was his elbow hit, but the mz42 machine gun hit his chest so hard that he almost choked. The remaining Japanese soldiers in the camp were attacking here.
, parking at this time would only make him a target for the Japanese army, but Tang Cheng had to stop, and he had a reason to stop.
On the left side of the truck's path, several straggler soldiers from the Second Company were chasing the truck that wanted to break through the Japanese camp. Although they knew that stopping would make them and other soldiers on the truck easy targets for enemy guns, they still wanted to
Being able to allow more of his own soldiers to evacuate, Tang Cheng did not feel that there was anything wrong with his risky behavior. Tang Cheng also knew that such an extremely risky move during the retreat should not be the rational decision of a battlefield commander.
Because, Xie Bo and Liu Yangyang have never taught themselves to ignore the death of their soldiers.
After the car stopped, several more soldiers climbed into the car in just a few seconds. They were all walking into the car. Only Lao Dongbei, who had recovered his strength, moved in the opposite direction against the edge of the car. The MZ42 machine gun was still there.
With more than half of the ammunition chain, Laodongbei picked up the machine gun again and glanced outward with cold eyes, ready to shoot as soon as he saw the Japanese soldiers approaching. There were fierce gunshots in other parts of the camp, as did the soldiers of the Second Company who were attacking the enemy camp.
They were disrupted. When they were snatching cars and evacuating from Tangcheng, soldiers from the Second Company scattered in the camp were engaged in a fierce shooting battle with the Japanese soldiers.
"Throw grenades, throw grenades." It was too late to take everyone with him. The truck accelerated again and finally rushed out of the Japanese camp. However, before evacuating the camp, all the soldiers in the truck threw almost all the grenades they had on them.
The truck was speeding along the field, and the Japanese camp behind it was filled with flames and thick smoke. The sound of sparse gunfire and sporadic explosions could still be heard clearly. I sat near the back of the truck, holding the machine gun.
Lao Dongbei's mind went blank. He was still thinking about the scene where Niu Laogui was engulfed by bullets and fire.
Turning around and looking back, there were still 12 people in the bumpy truck compartment, and 30 people rushed to camp. Now, including myself, there were only 12 people left, and including Tang Cheng who was driving, it was not enough for a class. I sat there in despair.
After a while, Lao Dongbei finally remembered the cigarettes in his pocket, took out one and held one in his mouth. Although the soldiers next to him did not look at him, Lao Dongbei still consciously put most of the only half pack of cigarettes with those who lived and died together.
Share with partners.
In the end, the cigarette was not passed back to Lao Dongbei, which made him feel better. He closed his eyes silently. Reality is reality after all. Before he smoked a cigarette halfway, the flares bloomed in the sky and the lights were instantly lit.
The sight reminded Lao Dongbei that they were far from escaping. In order to avoid possible shells from the Japanese army, Tang Cheng never turned on the headlights of the car. The flare that suddenly rose into the air shocked Tang Cheng in the cab.
The artillery shells fired from the direction of the Japanese camp then roared down. Although the first few shots were not threatening, it at least meant that the Japanese troops who came to the rescue had begun a strong counterattack. The explosions in the Japanese camp were almost continuous.
For a moment, Liu Shitou, who was crowded in the cab, could not determine how many Japanese trucks he had blown up. If the Japanese troops in the camp also drove to pursue them, Tang Cheng did not know whether he could escape the Japanese pursuit.
The flares not only guided the Japanese artillery fire, but also illuminated the originally dark field. The truck driving with the lights turned off was able to speed up. The oncoming air flow violently shook the tarpaulin of the carriage, and the dark field moved quickly under the wheels.
Backing up. Based on his limited driving experience, Tang Cheng estimated that the speed of the truck had reached fifty yards. For the sake of the surviving brothers in the carriage, Tang Cheng completely ignored the unevenness of the field and only focused on staring at it.
Ahead, I wish I could drive this truck so fast.
Shooting directly without obstruction, the Japanese gunners quickly found the target. Sometimes the shells passed over the truck and landed in front, sometimes screaming and falling behind the truck. Occasionally, one or two pieces of shrapnel hit the tarpaulin and made a "chirp" sound, which suddenly filled the carriage.
The soldiers inside were panic-stricken. The ensuing huge explosions made people's eardrums hurt. It was probably artillery shells falling in the field ahead. Tang Cheng controlled the steering wheel to make the truck turn suddenly. Under the strong inertia, the tilted body almost
When it was about to roll over, the soldiers in the carriage almost rolled into a pile.
After finally surviving this moment, the violent bumps and subsequent turns made Laodongbei and the others feel like they had fallen into a threshing machine. After struggling like this for a while, the truck finally made a big turn and stopped in a woodland.
The edge of the car stopped. "Get off the car, get off the car." Liu Shitou jumped out of the cab and ran to the back of the carriage and slapped the carriage board hard. The soldiers of the second company who were already unconscious and in the dark didn't know what they meant, but just followed Liu Shitou's instructions.
He shouted and jumped out of the car.
"You go into the woods and hide. 2 I will go with the company commander to lure away the Japs. The company commander said you can go to Macheng or return to the front line as you please. Old Northeast will take over commanding you." Compared to the stunned look of those ordinary soldiers, Liu Shitou
The movement of hurriedly climbing into the carriage gave Old Dongbei an epiphany. Tang Cheng should have planned to lure away the Japanese troops on his own. Liu Shitou was pretending to pass the imperial edict and wanted to follow Tang Cheng into danger. Before Liu Shitou could react,
Lao Dongbei reached out and grabbed the trunk panel and jumped into the car.
In order to distract the Japanese troops so that the brothers hiding in the woods could survive, Tang Cheng drove a truck around the woods and appeared in the wilderness. Artillery shells fell one after another around the truck. The bright yellow flames revealed the ferocious look from the gaps in the black smoke and mud.
Colorful, splashing and scattering muddy water and mortar reminded Tangcheng of the childhood prank of hitting the rice fields with stones. Such artillery fire looked fierce, and as long as the shells did not fall within ten meters, they would not cause any damage to the trucks.
Deadly threat.
Tang Cheng, who was on the road again and moving at full speed, only looked ahead. Tang Cheng in the cab did not know that Liu Shitou and Lao Dongbei were both in the carriage. When he was concentrating on looking ahead, there was a sudden commotion in the carriage. He hurriedly
Turning his head, the faces of Liu Shitou and Lao Dongbei appeared on the small window connected to the carriage behind him. "What the hell are you doing up here? I'm not running for my life?" Before Liu Shitou could say anything, Tang Shitou was in the cab.
The city was already full of yelling and cursing. Ignoring the hysteria in Tangcheng, Lao Dongbei tightly grasped the frame iron bars in the carriage so that he would not be thrown against the carriage board when the truck turned.
Tang Cheng drove his truck left and right in the field, slowly drawing the attention of the Japanese army away from the forest. Gradually, Tang Cheng himself lost track of direction. Now he could only silently pray to God.
They drove around like headless flies in the field. The snake-like trucks all the way in the field made it difficult for the Japanese artillery fire to have the expected effect. However, Tangcheng stopped the truck not far away, and an unknown line appeared in front of it.
It's a narrow branch of the river, and it's obvious that trucks can't drive through it.
"嘡" "嘡" Two more flares were launched into the air. The truck parked beside the branch of the river was exposed to the cold light of the flares. A few seconds later, the remaining soldiers of the second company hidden in the woods heard a sound different from that of the forced one.
There was a scream of shells breaking through the air, and then after the continuous explosions, a dazzling ball of fire was seen rising into the night sky with the explosion. The remaining soldiers hidden in the woods all lowered their heads, they all knew that they had discovered
What? The fireball just now was obviously not caused by artillery shells. The truck driven by company commander Tang Cheng must have been hit by Japanese artillery shells and exploded.
