"Bah, bah." Hou San stood up and couldn't help spitting out the dirt in his mouth. When Hou San ran with Tang Cheng, he was still dragging the rock tiger in his hand. The rock tiger that could fly in the mountains and forests was just like the flat ground.
He fell several times and dragged Hou San until he was chewing on the mud. This is why he couldn't help spitting at this time. The Japanese fighter planes had already flown away, but Tangcheng still didn't.
Don't worry, let Hou San and others protect Huang Hanju and stay where he is. Tang Cheng only took Man Niu and walked towards the road with flames blazing in the distance.
Still some distance away from the road, Tang Cheng not only smelled the burnt smell, but also smelled the strong smell of blood. Tang Cheng and Man Niu slowly got onto the road with guns in hand. The air raid had just ended, and the road was full of fire.
The road was still filled with choking smoke, and the ground was also littered with objects and gravel thrown by the panicked crowd. Tang Cheng and Man Niu had no choice but to follow the highway, one step at a time, towards the first person who was stuck in the traffic jam.
Go out around that corner.
Although there were a lot of fires on the road, it was because of the weather that the bloody scenes of mutilated limbs he imagined along the way to Tangcheng did not appear in his sight. However, the damage to the road and the collapse of the roadbed caused by the explosion still made the originally smooth road
The road became rugged and difficult to navigate, and there were more corpses on the messy road. He accidentally stepped on a piece of gravel, causing Tang Cheng, who was staggering, to almost sprain his feet. He quickly reminded the bull following him to be more careful with lingering fear.
After a while, they came to the corner where the traffic jam had been. As expected, not a single civilian was left who had been crowded here. Tang Cheng and Man Niu only found some scattered luggage and a few huge bomb craters here.
The two of them walked forward again, and a rough voice suddenly sounded in the darkness: "Who are you?" Tang Cheng was shocked and immediately squatted down, lifted the rifle in his hands and followed the sound. A figure wearing a steel helmet was standing there.
Climbing up from the roadbed in front, it seemed that he had just run down the roadbed to avoid the air attack. What climbed up from the roadbed was a black-faced soldier wearing a steel helmet. Seeing that Tang Cheng was also in military uniform, he was not too vigilant, but
Holding his rifle in one hand, he asked according to the rules: "Which army are you from? Do you have any ID?"
Tang Cheng took out his ID from his coat pocket and handed it to him. Just as the other party was about to take it, he suddenly stiffened because a rifle was pressed against his ribs. "Don't ask who we are first.
From the army, please explain yourself clearly first. Do you have your ID?" Manniu's voice was very rough, but the rifle he held against the opponent's ribs was anything but rough.
When Tang Cheng suddenly crouched down and raised his gun, the Man Niu following behind him was already moving sideways like a ghost. Tang Cheng took out his ID just to attract the opponent's attention and buy time and opportunity for the Man Niu who was moving sideways.
, the opponent was indeed caught by the sudden appearance of the bull. Tangcheng had already judged that the opponent was a soldier escorting a supply truck, but he did not expect that he was not alone. Several figures suddenly emerged from under the roadbed and surrounded him.
Man Niu caught Tangcheng even more unprepared.
But Tang Cheng has never been a person willing to admit defeat. No matter whether the other party is a traitor or not, Tang Cheng will not be willing to have a gun pointed at his head. Just like when he fought in close combat with the Japanese army,
Tang Cheng let go of the rifle in his hand, suddenly pulled out the rifle from the holster on his waist, and rubbed the hammer on his thigh. The light and crisp sound of a click was particularly clear in this silent night. Although he didn't want to shoot.
, but Tang Cheng still stepped forward quickly and put the muzzle of his gun on the head of one of the Japanese soldiers.
"Don't move! I don't want to hurt anyone. I still have a grenade in my left hand. Since everyone is a gangster, it's best to put down the gun first. If you dare to act rashly, we will all die here together." Seeing this.
In this situation, although the few men on the other side who had just escaped from death were unwilling, they did not dare to put down their rifles holding the bulls without any hesitation. Tang Cheng was very anxious, but he was not sure what was going on with these soldiers.
, while aiming his gun at the opponent, he motioned to Manniu to let go of the opponent and slowly retreat.
The two sides retreated a few meters, and Tang Cheng put down the shell gun in his hand, and then opened his empty left hand to show the other side. "Hey, brother, don't be impulsive!" Seeing that the guys on the opposite side seemed a little angry, Tang Cheng hurriedly opened his mouth.
He opened his hands and asked the man beside him to slowly bend down and put the rifle in his hand on the ground. Seeing that the other party had no intention of attacking, Tang Cheng relaxed a little and reset the hammer of the shell gun and put it back into the holster to prevent misfire.
Man Niu also turned sideways and walked a few steps quickly, bent down to pick up the rifle that Tang Cheng had thrown on the ground, then stared at the opponent and slowly stepped back, still standing beside Tang Cheng.
In fact, the few Japanese soldiers standing opposite Tang Cheng were not very clear about what was going on tonight. After Tang Cheng's repeated questioning and guidance, they gradually recalled some things. "Yes, that's right.
When the overseas Chinese who drove the car and the kid's plane came over, I heard with my own ears that the third squad leader asked all the cars to turn off their lights and put out the bonfires. It was the car that collided with the truck that turned on its lights first.
"A soldier who suddenly realized at this moment pointed at the darkness not far ahead and shouted, the traffic jam was over there just now.
Tangcheng and the others in Japanese military uniforms appeared on the highway. With the help of the firelight, people on both sides of the road got on the road one after another. When everyone was in the most panic, Tangcheng and the others in Japanese military uniforms undoubtedly
It is a place that can make everyone feel at ease. People started to appear on the road one after another, followed by screams and cries. The screams came from the women who saw dead bodies on the ground in the crowd, and the cries came from
It's the people who have lost family and friends.
There were not many bombs dropped by the Japanese fighter planes. Although the bombs dropped by the Japanese fighter planes destroyed his vehicle and killed many people, some drivers who returned to the cabs turned on their car lights one after another. Under the cover of the car lights, the highway
It was as if they had just experienced a massacre, with corpses lying everywhere. Not to mention the civilians, even the veterans in Tangcheng would be shocked to see this scene.
The soldiers escorting the supply truck have checked the documents of Tang Cheng and others, but Tang Cheng, who is now the logistics force of the Fifth Army, has no way to command these soldiers who are affiliated with Wanding Material Transfer Station, so they can only withdraw to their own truck now.
Next to the Ford truck, he was waiting for the road to be dredged before continuing towards Mandalay. "Xiaocheng, how is it going ahead?" Huang Hanju had been protected by Hou San and others, and had no idea what was happening ahead of the road. Seeing Tangcheng leading
He led Manniu back to the truck and asked anxiously.
"What else can we do? There was an oversight in the soldiers guarding the supply trucks. The Japanese spies who were mixed up on the road pretended to be overseas Chinese and found an opportunity to send signals to the Japanese fighter planes. Otherwise, we would not have been bombed." I knew that Huang Hanju was not a good fighter.
Yes, Tangcheng didn't go into detail. "I see that the casualties are basically civilians, and some trucks were destroyed, but the road should be cleared soon. I think it's best for us not to fight with the brigade."
If vehicles are traveling on the same road, the target would be too big, and it would also attract the Japs’ planes.”
Although the bomb dropped by the Japanese fighter plane just now did not blow up his Ford truck, Huang Hanju really understood Tang Cheng's reaction and capabilities. Since Tang Cheng had said this, Huang Hanju had no objection. Among those truck drivers and escorts
Under the strong command of the soldiers, the civilians on the highway stopped crying and buried their relatives and friends, and helped the truck drivers clean up the bombed vehicles on the highway. Three hours later, in Tangcheng, they finally heard the long-lost roar of trucks.
Voice.
"Let them go first, we are not in a hurry." Tangcheng asked the driver to park the Ford truck on the side of the road to clear the road. After the convoy on the opposite side had passed by, Tangcheng asked the driver in the cab to start the vehicle.
The truck moved forward slowly. "Brother-in-law, you and the Yanlong brothers get in the truck first. Hou San, you guys and I will protect the surroundings of the truck. After this period, we can get in the truck again." Tang Cheng ignored it.
He looked at the mess on the ground and raised the rifle in his hand to be wary of the civilians coming from the other side.
Hou San and others didn't know why Tang Cheng did this, but this was Tang Cheng's order. Since the order was given, they had to obey it. Tang Cheng and the others walked and stopped until it got light, and then they discovered a
A small village built by the water has appeared in front of the highway. From a distance, smoke is still coming from the chimneys of several houses in the village. However, after getting closer, Lin Tangcheng and the others can easily see that this place has become a military place.
A temporary garrison point. A simple warning fortification was built on the edge of the village. Soldiers wearing Japanese military uniforms came and went in the village. There were also some trucks undergoing repairs parked near the highway.
At a relatively straight and wide intersection, several soldiers wearing German-style steel helmets and fairly neat military appearances used barbed wire racks and simple wooden sentries to set up checkpoints. Judging from their cautious but not nervous expressions, Tangcheng was quite
I feel like they haven't been thrown to the frontline for a while.
On the other hand, the Tangcheng group, although they had not slept all night and looked tired, still had the calmness of having experienced a bloody storm, and there was no sign of slackness in the calmness on Hou San's faces. "Stop, get your documents to check."
." After Tang Cheng's group jumped out of the truck and walked up to them, the tall sentry carrying a Mauser rifle spoke in his cold southern accent and raised a hand to signal to Tang Cheng and the others.
Stop and get inspected.
The big soldier who spoke was obviously a veteran. He might have smelled the smell of blood coming from Tang Cheng, so he immediately made something to pull the bolt of the gun. Tang Cheng was horrified and couldn't help but take a step back. "Don't mess around.
, we were bombed by Japanese planes on the way, and this blood is not from living people." Tang Cheng took a step back, took his ID in his hand and explained loudly to the other party.
