Everyone felt that this battle was not interesting. Tangcheng's military uniforms had long been soaked. After relaxing, they felt so cold that they shivered. They cursed in their hearts that they had known it would be like this, so they might as well have stayed.
Half of the people rested, so that everyone did not have to suffer. I thought it would be a fierce battle, and it was fun to fight. Who would have expected that the Japanese troops stationed at the mountain pass would be so fragile that they could not help but fight. There was even a deep disappointment in Tangcheng, and
Ignoring Hou San and the others who were cleaning the battlefield, they just found a box of Japanese cans, opened them, and chewed them.
Tang Cheng was still worried about the battle just now. It was not that he had never fought against the Japanese army. No matter whether it was a large group of Japanese troops or a small group of Japanese troops, they should not have such fighting power. Two more traps popped up in Tang Cheng's mind.
Words. Thinking about it carefully, it seems wrong. The Japanese army would not be so generous as to use almost a squad of troops to set up a trap at a time. But if this is not a trap, why are the combat effectiveness of these Japanese soldiers so weak?
"Stop guessing, you will know why when you go over and look at the corpses of those Japanese soldiers." Hou San, who was walking slowly over, happened to hear Tang Cheng talking to himself, so he answered with a smile. "The dice killed them.
There are no less than 10 machine gunners, and they are all veterans among the little devils. The few you killed with grenade launchers are also veterans. You two have almost killed those veterans, and there are some little brats left.
Don't turn around and run away, I just saw a corpse of a Japanese kid about the same size as a stone."
Hou San's words found the answer for Tangcheng. When he was in Kunming, he heard Huang Hanju say that the Japanese army's military strength was already stretched thin. Many defensive troops in enemy-occupied areas had long been replaced by child soldiers. Could it be that the Japanese army was attacking Burma?
Are there also a large number of new soldiers? Tang Cheng passed the canned food in his hand to Hou San, then turned around and went to the place where the Japanese corpses were piled. He carefully inspected the corpses of the Japanese soldiers one by one. The results of Tang Cheng's inspection were indeed true.
As Hou San said, at least 30 of these 52 Japanese soldiers were new recruits.
After being troubled for a long time, it was not because they were stronger, but because the little devils were getting weaker. After finally finding the answer, Tang Cheng felt relieved and no longer thought about the word "trap" in his mind. The doubts in his heart were solved.
, Tangcheng's mood improved a lot, and Hou San and the others who had been paying attention to Tangcheng were relieved. As long as Tangcheng was fine, their hope of returning home would be much greater.
After clearing out the Japanese troops guarding the mountain pass, except for the corpses of the Japanese troops in the middle of the mountain, everything else became trophies for Tangcheng and the others. Not to mention the weapons and ammunition, just the two marching pots found by Ma Dazhuang made everyone happy.
After a while. "This is a good thing. With this, we don't have to hold the helmet to cook and eat." Ma Dazhuang, who is tall and has long legs, took two military cauldrons to the stream to clean. This kind of large cauldron is enough
It only takes one time to cook enough food to fill the stomachs of more than 30 people in Tangcheng.
"I put all these in the pot and cooked them. We won the battle, and the brothers also eat well." Tang Cheng raised his foot and kicked over a box, and rolled out a few cans issued by the Japanese army. Many.
After Dong Liancheng, Zhou Chao and the others, the dry rations prepared by Tang Cheng and others were no longer enough, but Tang Cheng had no intention of saving rations. He only knew that if everyone went to war hungry, they might be intercepted by the Japanese army next time.
At that time, their small force would be scattered in the woods by the Japanese army.
Among the 13 casualties, only 7 were actually killed. Although the other 6 injured soldiers were injured repeatedly, they were not fatally injured. The wounded who had been treated by military doctors looked in low spirits. Even Dong Liancheng and Zhou Chao were
In front of Tangcheng, he hesitated to speak. If this was a domestic battlefield, it would be okay, but this is in northern Myanmar. Let alone carrying so many wounded soldiers, it would not be easy for them to walk out of the jungle alive.
.
"Tell those injured people to take a good rest and recuperate, and don't think about other things. Under my command, I have never left any brothers alive." Tang Cheng could see what Dong Liancheng and Zhou Chao were thinking, and immediately comforted them a few times.
In this sentence, with Tangcheng's guarantee, the injured soldier finally had blood on his face. "Just rest here for a day and let the injured brothers take a breath. Let's guard this mountain pass and see if we can intercept some broken soldiers."
Let's use it." After finally taking this mountain pass, Tang Cheng has no reason to withdraw like this. Now he really needs some strong helpers.
"Sir, everything seized has been counted. There are still more than 30 usable rifles, a good machine gun, almost 3,000 rounds of bullets, and some grenades, enough for each of us to get two or three." Tan
Fei took the book recording the loot and approached Tang Cheng and whispered, "We also found some gold and silver jewelry and jade, which should be the property looted by this group of little devils. The third brother meant to take it with him, but ours
There are too many things and I’m afraid there won’t be enough manpower.”
"Don't worry, as long as we control this mountain pass, we will surely deliver it to our door automatically. The things here are our trophies and cannot be left to the Japanese army anymore, especially these belongings, which are the expenses for the brothers to settle down after returning to China. They will definitely
I want to take it away." Tang Cheng had already made a calculation in his mind, so Tan Fei didn't say much. He just informed Tang Cheng of the remaining seized materials one by one. When he learned that there were some clean underwear among the trophies, Tang Cheng
Cheng immediately called everyone over.
"It's only the morning now, and I'm already planning to stay here for a day to rest. Everyone must be tired after wandering in the woods for so many days. The little devil has prepared a lot of clean clothes for us here, and there is a stream halfway down the mountain.
, while everything is fine now, let’s go and wash ourselves in the stream instead, we can’t let the little devil prepare such a good place for us to waste.”
There is no such thing as food in the whole world. The Japanese troops stationed here not only have canned food, but also rice. The Tangcheng side is still discussing things. The two female soldiers have been working with the bulls for a while, fragrant canned meat stewed with wild vegetables and
The rice was already out of the pot. "Let's eat." Tang Cheng gave the order. The fragrant wild vegetable stew was canned and the rice was eaten vigorously. Everyone ate more than three bowls of rice. "Damn, I'm full now."
"It's so comfortable." Ma Dazhuang patted his swollen belly with great satisfaction, causing the two female soldiers to snicker.
The food that was enough for forty or fifty people was eaten up by Tang Cheng and his group of thirty or so people, including Tang Cheng himself, who had to secretly loosen his belt buckle. "Let's go, let's go take a shower."
With their full stomachs, everyone had nothing to do. They took the clean underwear distributed and rushed down the mountain to the stream to take a bath. By then, Tang Cheng, the instigator, was left behind. They found a suitable place and took off their clothes.
Tang Cheng, who was naked, jumped into the stream together. "It's so damn happy." The large pieces of soap were kneaded into small pieces. Everyone in the stream rubbed themselves until they were red, as if they had just come out.
Shrimp in the pot.
"Sir, what should we do next? Dong Liancheng and Zhou Chao looked at each other and came to Tangcheng in unison. Although it is a good place, they cannot stay here for a long time. The food consumed by more than 30 of them every day is not a small amount.
Otherwise, there would be no need for Japanese troops to attack, just food would be enough to defeat them.
Taking the cigarette handed to him by Dong Liancheng and holding it in his mouth, Tang Cheng, who was soaked in the stream, reached out and stroked his short hair, and replied with a smile, "Of course I will continue walking towards the Nu River. Once I cross the Nu River, I will return home."
The Nu River is so long, it is impossible for the Japanese army to defend all the river sides. As long as we can reach the Nu River, we will definitely find a place to cross the river." Dong Liancheng and Zhou Chao did not expect that the route chosen by Tangcheng would be to go all the way north across the Nu River to return home.
, this route sounds very safe, but the actual distance is not that close.
Tang Cheng lit the cigarette in his mouth and took a few puffs. He ignored Dong Liancheng and Zhou Chao's surprise. He just picked up a stone by the stream and carved a simple map on the ground. "Come and see, our country
When the Japanese army retreated from Mandalay, the Japanese army heading north had already launched a sneak attack on Lashio. After capturing Lashio, the Japanese army controlled the passage from Mandalay back to Wanding. The way back to China through Wanding was gone, so I
We don’t want to go to India through the old forests of Savage Mountain like the military did, so we have only one way left, go north to Gaoligong Mountain and then cross the Nu River to return home.”
Throwing away the pebbles in his hands, Tang Cheng turned over and looked up at the white clouds in the sky, as if saying to himself, "I know it will be very dangerous to go north to Gaoligong Mountain, and the road is not too short, and there are many obstacles on the way.
We will encounter countless Japanese soldiers to intercept us, but this is the only safe route at present. The walk on Savage Mountain is not easy. The poisonous insects, snakes and ants in the forest alone are enough for us to deal with, not to mention the pursuit behind us.
Japanese soldiers.”
"How about we stay here for a few more days? Didn't Li Fu say that there are many brothers from our national army coming here to go north? Maybe we can still wait for the big troops to come." Dong Liancheng obviously didn't agree.
In the plan to go north to Gaoligong Mountain, after taking the mountain pass position, Dong Liancheng did not think that the Japanese soldiers were very powerful, so he thought about gathering a large number of national army soldiers and retreating in groups.
After listening to Dong Liancheng's words, Tang Cheng, who looked as usual, did not even raise his head, "I have been wandering in the woods for so many days, but I have never encountered the large army you mentioned, especially now that we don't even know where we are.
How to find the large army? Haven't you been wandering in the jungle for several days? Have you found it? Besides, with just a few of us, if we encounter the Japanese army again, do you think we will have such good luck?
