"Killed another Japanese officer, and he was wearing a gold watch." Hou San handed Zhao Zhi a gold watch and a pack of Japanese cigarettes, and then showed off the Japanese command knife on his waist and seized it.
Tang Cheng also slung his telescope on his chest. Tang Cheng didn't look too carefully at the gold watch handed over by Hou San, but casually threw the gold watch to Tan Fei, while he only looked through all the items Hou San and the others had collected.
Japanese papers and maps.
Zhou Chao led two people and ran back from the other side quickly. The others who had regained their composure were startled and raised their guns and aimed at the other side, fearing that a few more Japanese soldiers would rush out from the other side of the river. "Sir, sir,
There are several Japanese three-wheeled motorcycles in the woods on the other side. There must be a road nearby that can be used by car." Zhou Chao, with a face filled with joy, pulled Tang Cheng to report his findings incoherently.
Everyone cried with joy. After walking around in the jungle for more than ten days, they finally saw the road. "Pack your things, let's cross the river and follow the road." After pondering for a while, Tang Cheng gave the order,
Everyone was busy cleaning the battlefield, refusing to leave anything useful behind. Zhou Chao and the others found not only three-wheeled motorcycles, but also several British-made bicycles. Tang Cheng was very surprised how these Japanese soldiers managed to clean up the battlefield.
I rode my bicycle into this mountain.
Motorcycles were absolutely not allowed. They were too noisy and would be heard by the surrounding Japanese troops even if they were far away. However, those bicycles were taken into possession by Tangcheng. He took Tan Fei and the others back.
By the river, all the Japanese army water bottles that had been abandoned were taken to the roadside. The motorcycles cannot be taken away, but the fuel in the fuel tank can be taken away. "Be careful, these fuels are good things, and you can do it on rainy days."
Help us light a fire to cook, and we can use it as a Molotov cocktail if we encounter Japanese soldiers." Watching Tan Fei and the others take out the oil from the mailbox and put it into the kettles, Tang Cheng's face was full of smiles.
When we started on the road again, the female soldiers and military doctors were still walking in the middle of the queue, but this time there seemed to be a few more bicycles dragging supplies in the middle of the queue. Six bicycles were pushing all the supplies they could pull in the queue.
In the middle, Zhou Chao and his people protected the bicycles. The things on these bicycles were the guarantee for everyone to get out of the jungle, and there could not be any mistakes.
After walking along the path for about two or three hours, after turning a corner, corpses began to appear in front of everyone's eyes. The sound of flies flying from the corpses was like low thunder. Those who were shot, stabbed to death, died of strafing.
Those who died in the explosion - the victorious Japanese army would move away the corpses of their own people, and all that were left here were the corpses of the expeditionary force soldiers.
The military doctor made a simple mask with military gauze, covered his mouth and nose tightly, and squatted down to examine the body. "They are all from the main force, including the 200th Division, the 22nd Division, and officers from the headquarters."
The path dotted with corpses was so long that it made people numb. Most people tried their best to look at the backs of the people in front of them and kept their heads down as they hurried on. Two female soldiers couldn't restrain themselves and ran to the side of the road to vomit. "Sir, the hillside is ahead.
The defeated troops of our national army have been discovered below." Yanlong, who had gone out as a scout, ran back to report.
At the bottom of the hillside, there is a road that can finally be driven, but none of this is important. What is important is that the muddy and bad road was stepped out of the vast jungle by the defeated soldiers. People walking on the road are
The exhausted and defeated expeditionary force was defeated in twos and threes. Everyone looked blankly at the defeated soldiers at the bottom of the hillside, and then very carefully pushed their bicycles down the hillside and merged with the defeated army.
Tangcheng and the others did not show off their trophies to these defeated soldiers. In fact, they did not need to say anything. As long as they saw the few bicycles carrying large and small bags in their team and the large number of Japanese firearms on their bodies, the defeated soldiers were stunned.
We knew that this small force came all the way with the Japanese army. Without being rejected, skirmishers continued to follow their team in Tangcheng voluntarily, because they looked trustworthy. With others
In comparison, Tang Cheng and others all have weapons, and the two female soldiers are carrying Japanese-style firearms. Although Tang Cheng, who leads the team, looks like a pretty boy, this does not affect the joining of the defeated soldiers.
However, not all defeated troops can be like this. The more people gathered here in Tangcheng, the more troubles followed. When they stopped to rest in the evening, several officers came from the front of the team.
They came to Tangcheng to ask for food. The only way for Tangcheng and the others to obtain supplies after leaving Mandalay was to snatch them from the Japanese army. The little things they captured from the Japanese army were not much, and they ate every day.
Add some wild vegetables and fried rice to the porridge cooked with rice balls. There is excess food for these shameless officers.
But the officers of the expeditionary force didn't care about this. They gathered some broken troops and prepared to directly grab food. The grumpy Dice didn't care whether the other party was an officer or not, and immediately asked Manniu to set up a machine gun, and then used his sniper
The rifle looked at the defeated soldiers who were facing each other eagerly, with the intention of shooting whoever dared to come up. "Come on, shoot here. If you don't dare to shoot, you are the one who raised me, grandpa." An officer tore open.
He was wearing a tattered military uniform and patting his bony chest, which was full of scars. He seemed to be a battle-hardened veteran.
"Grandma's, who doesn't have it?" Dice, who was standing high up, yelled, but he did not take off his clothes. Instead, he peeled off Man Niu's top to reveal scars all over his body. Dice pointed at the scars on Man Niu's body.
Scar looked at the officer with disdain, "The brothers behind me are all like this. They all dare to fight to the death with their heads raised against the Japs. If you want food, go to the Japs."
Dice's arrogant words and Man Niu's gunshot wounds made the rushing soldiers stop in their tracks. Besides, there was a machine gun that was slightly raised by Tan Fei after he took over and was aiming at them. No one dared to step forward.
"I want to see your commander." One of the officers greeted Dice politely.
"Hey, that's right. If you have anything to say, please say it nicely." Dice, who has always been soft-spoken, asked Zhao Liang to take the officer to the back to meet Tang Cheng. However, against the other defeated troops, Dice was no longer as good as before.
face.
"I can't do this. These things were bought by my brothers in exchange for their lives. We can give you some, but it's impossible to give them all." Tang Cheng stared at the officer in front of him. Those things
Supplies are something that can help one survive. Even though the officer in front of him has the rank of lieutenant colonel, Tangcheng still cannot agree to the other party's proposal to hand over all supplies for an equal distribution, which may affect the lives of more than 20 people around him.
Hou San and Tang Cheng whispered, "Sir, I think we should not leave with them. If we can come and ask for food once, we can come a second time. We don't have much to eat. But if we don't give it to them,
, if things get bad, we will have to fight with them in the end. Although we are not afraid of them, after all, fighting with our own people is not a shameful thing."
Tang Cheng squinted his eyes and thought for a while but nodded, "Then let's go separately. Let's go around them at night and walk in front of them." Because it was Tang Cheng's decision, even though Dice and Man Niu were very reluctant.
However, according to Tang Cheng's order, some food was distributed to the defeated soldiers. Although there was not a lot of food, after adding wild vegetables, it was enough for each of these defeated soldiers to eat a few mouthfuls.
According to Tang Cheng's prior arrangements, Tang Cheng and the others were not with the defeated soldiers when they set up camp at night. In the middle of the night, Tang Cheng and the others got up quietly, took their bicycles and supplies, and carefully entered the woods on the roadside, following the
The marked route of Yanlong and others made a big circle in the forest and finally appeared on the road a few miles away from the campsite of the defeated soldiers. They had already crossed the route of the defeated soldiers in Tangcheng and did not dare to stop for a while.
After resting, they hit the road again. If they couldn't put a distance between them and the defeated troops, their remaining supplies would also not be saved.
When the defeated soldiers woke up at dawn the next day and realized that Tang Cheng and the others were no longer around, they would naturally pursue them in a hurry. Unfortunately, Tang Cheng and the others were already at least ten miles away from them. If it were normal times, they would have
The journey of more than ten miles is nothing to these defeated soldiers, but they are really hungry and staggering now. How can they catch up with Tang Cheng and others who want to avoid them? They only chase a few miles away.
The ground was far away, so these defeated troops simply gave up.
With the road, Tangcheng and the others will naturally move much faster, but corpses appear more and more frequently on both sides of the road. Among the corpses are national soldiers and Japanese soldiers, but generally speaking, there are more corpses of the national army.
Some. Tang Cheng began to look at the corpses of Japanese scouts on the ground with some irritation. They threw away the broken soldiers and marched along this road. They had encountered small groups of Japanese scouts twice. It seemed that all the Japanese soldiers had smelled the expeditionary force.
The smell of food is coming here one after another. If this continues, Tang Cheng and the others, who are busy hiding, will be exhausted.
"He is from the 18th Division of the Japanese Army." Tang Cheng looked at the diary that Hou San found from the corpse of the Japanese soldier. The name of the Japanese soldier and the unit number of the 18th Division to which he belonged were clearly written on it. "Let's leave here.
There is a road, follow its direction, and see if you can avoid the Japanese army." Tang Cheng then called on everyone to follow the direction of the roadbed into the woods, and follow the direction of the road from a distance, heading towards the Nu River.
The bodies of the Japanese scouts were also thrown into the bushes.
The speed of the team was very fast. At noon, the team entered a large ancient forest. The trees were very tall and there were no branches below ten meters. This way everyone felt that the line of sight was much wider, and Man Niu and Ma Dazhuang, who were the vanguard, could also
There was no need for a machete to open the way. The rapid chirping of birds suddenly sounded, and everyone immediately lay down to hide. Tang Cheng rushed to the front. From a distance, he saw Dice squatting motionless with a sniper rifle dozens of meters away.
In a nest of long grass, I don’t know what I am doing.
