"It looks like there's half a company, but I don't know when we can actually get enough manpower for a whole company." After intercepting dozens of defeated troops who wanted to return but had no plan, Tangcheng and the others stayed here for another day.
, suddenly there were dozens more people, so it was natural to prepare more food for the journey. After being separated from the main force at Xiaojieling, Tang Cheng's position as captain and company commander had long been in name only, and he looked at the soldiers under his command.
It's getting worse day by day. It would be a lie to say that Tang Cheng is unhappy.
Braving the risk of being discovered by the Japanese army, he stayed for another day. Tang Cheng failed to intercept the defeated troops heading north again, which made his plan to resume his duties as captain and company commander continue to fail. The sky was clear when he got up early, and after Hou San and others
Under constant urging, the sleepy-eyed soldiers put on their still damp military uniforms and set out on the road carrying backpacks stuffed with dried mushrooms, various dried meats, and dried fish. When they were about to enter the mountain pass, they landed in Tangcheng at the end.
He turned around again and took a look at the mid-mountain position where he and his group stayed for three days, wandering around in the forest for half a month. These three days were the most relaxing time for everyone.
After resting for a day and eating several full meals in succession, the defeated soldiers intercepted by Tangcheng and the others had somewhat recovered their morale. In addition, they had seen the ferocity with which Tangcheng and the others killed the Japanese army. Although the defeated soldiers had not fully recovered, they
They are no longer as energetic as they were when they first marched into Myanmar, but at least after wearing clean military uniforms, these guys look much better. "Little brother, is your Commander Tang really a captain? Why don't I look like him?
You are too young." Someone among the defeated soldiers was getting close to Zhao Liang, but he kept inquiring about things related to Tangcheng.
"Captain, are you? You don't know how to read military ranks. Could it be that Chief Tang wants to tell you something specifically?" Zhao Liang has been hanging out with the dice for a long time, and the original reserve has long since disappeared. Hearing this person talking to him, he collapsed.
Bing's words were not good, and Dang Ji glared. "When we stopped you, our Commander Tang said that you can stay or leave voluntarily. If you don't want to come with us, you can leave now. I don't believe you can get out of this place on your own."
It’s the woods.”
The voice of the defeated soldier who asked the question was not loud, but he could not block Zhao Liang's voice. The two of them were arguing, and the sound had already reached the ears of Tang Cheng, the rear team. Ma Dazhuang wanted to teach the defeated soldier who was talking to Zhao Liang, but he
After being stopped by Tang Cheng, these broken soldiers were not from the same army in the first place. Naturally, there are many people talking about right and wrong. Tang Cheng naturally has his own reasons for keeping them, and there will be use for these broken soldiers in the future.
There is no need to punish them for trivial matters now. If people's hearts are broken, it will not be good for them in Tangcheng.
"Shut up, don't make a sound." Hou San's scolding came from the front. Hou San's gloomy face was obviously more useful than Tang Cheng's name. With just one scolding, Zhao Liang, who was originally glaring at him like a fighting cock,
He and the defeated soldiers immediately stopped making any sound. Tang Cheng was very satisfied with Hou San's reaction. After all, it was his own people who were better off. If Ma Dazhuang, a fool, were to stop him, it might be counterproductive and the dispute would turn into a riot.
With Hou San's pressure, the marching team returned to calm again. After the calm, the speed became slightly faster. When they stopped to rest at noon, Tang Cheng estimated that they had traveled almost seven or eight miles in the morning. In this way.
If placed on the plains, the marching speed would only make the dead come back to life with laughter, but this is a jungle where there are no boundaries. It is already very good to have such a speed in the jungle. After all, Tangcheng and the others still have many people with them.
The relatively small supplies are on the way.
Food was strictly controlled. After getting up early, everyone was only given a piece of dried meat the size of a cigarette box. This was everyone's breakfast and lunch. Only when setting up camp at night were they allowed to light a fire and eat hot food, so everyone who met along the way could
All the food was stuffed into everyone's stomachs that never seemed to be full. Food was strictly controlled, and drinking water was the same. The kettle on everyone's waist contained cold boiled water boiled the day before. This pot of water
It's a two-day quota, unless a new water source can be found when setting up camp at night.
Food and drinking water are controlled. Some people can understand it, but naturally some people are not happy with it. However, those who are dissatisfied do not dare to show their dissatisfaction. The most they can do is make a few comments in front of people close to them. "Ignore them.
It's just a few complaints. They know in their hearts that if they leave us, they will have no choice but to die in this forest." Someone told Tang Cheng these things in private, but Tang Cheng didn't care at all, because he knew that at least those people
Not ready to kill each other yet.
The two Yanlong brothers have truly become Tangcheng's treasures. As long as they are around, they can always find a suitable camping place and an essential water source. Yanhu also made a guarantee to Tangcheng that he will find a suitable place to camp.
Salt walls, mountain people rely on salt walls to solve the problem of salt deficiency. When setting up camp at night, the hot wild vegetable porridge exudes a mouth-watering aroma. Add a spoonful of wild vegetable porridge with some dried mushrooms and close the lid of the lunch box.
After simmering for a while, this kind of meal is enough to make the sulky guys forget all their dissatisfaction. When they were wandering in the mountains and forests, they didn't have such good food.
At dawn, Tang Cheng opened his tired eyes and looked at the sky habitually. The dawn in the morning was always so soft, and the fragrance of the earth in the forest had a different aftertaste. At this moment, Tang Cheng's ears were so quiet,
Even the chirping of birds can still be heard, and the sounds of guns and gunfire that have been echoing in Tangcheng's mind seem to belong to another world. The soil in front of him is still wet and muddy with dew dripping from the branches and leaves of the trees, and he looks a little dazed.
Tang Cheng knew in his heart that he was still in the jungle of northern Myanmar, and what just flashed in his mind was just a nightmare.
After hesitating for a moment, Tang Cheng tried his best to lift up his body with his stiff and numb hands. Although he was wrapped in a fairly thick military blanket, it could not withstand the coldness of the night at all. It was only compared to those national soldiers who died in the woods.
, Tangcheng is already quite lucky. Although there was a light rain in the middle of the night yesterday, everyone was able to survive with their winter clothes and military blankets, and were able to sleep in such a difficult environment. In the past, Tangcheng would have thought
I dare not even think about it.
Slowly sitting up, Tang Cheng looked around. Others were still wrapped in blankets and sleeping together, as if huddling together would keep them warmer. Not far away, Ma Dazhuang, who was wearing a German-style helmet with large rims, and the two women
The soldiers were sitting around a pile of charcoal fire, with a large pot set up on a tripod made of stones. A faint fragrance was wafting out of the large pot. As consciousness awakened, the emptiness and hunger in Tangcheng's belly
It also became uncomfortable.
Seeing Tang Cheng wake up, Ma Dazhuang, who was sitting by the campfire, immediately brought a lunch box for Tang Cheng. The lunch box contained steaming wild vegetable soup. "When I got up early, I happened to catch a pheasant in the woods. Thinking of the rain last night, everyone
Maybe I caught a cold, so I thought about boiling a pot of soup. Is it good or not? I want everyone to get rid of the cold." He took the warm lunch box into his arms, and the temperature of the lunch box made Tang Cheng stiffen.
His hands gradually recovered, and Tang Cheng's chest and abdomen felt a little more comfortable.
Under Ma Dazhuang's expectant eyes, Tang Cheng took a sip from the lunch box, then resisted the fishy smell in the soup and gave Ma Dazhuang a thumbs up. It was generally accepted that Ma Dazhuang's rice was not delicious, but Tang Cheng could not
Ignoring Ma Dazhuang's hard work, although he now extremely misses Fatty Ma who was left in Kunming by him. After half a bowl of wild vegetable soup, Tang Cheng's body finally warmed up, but not to mention that although Ma Dazhuang's cooking was unpalatable, this
Being a good person, Tang Cheng estimated that Ma Dazhuang put at least a lot of chili peppers into this pot of wild vegetable soup.
Putting down his lunch box, Tang Cheng licked his lips and reached out to touch his jacket pocket out of habit. There was a piece of compressed biscuit in his pocket, which Ma Dazhuang specially left for himself at dinner last night. He touched the piece with reluctance.
Tang Cheng still didn't want to eat the biscuit. Tang Cheng planned to save it until he needed it most. Tang Cheng began to move his body, not looking at his companions who were drinking soup. There might only be a few pieces in the soup.
Wild vegetable leaves and some chicken scraps are already very precious in this harsh forest environment. Some people are even showing off the large pieces of chicken they found in their lunch boxes, although the so-called large pieces of chicken are not much bigger than a fingernail.
, but also made other guys envious.
"Hidden, hidden, there is a plane." Hou San's loud shout rang out, and the laughing soldiers immediately fell silent. Ma Dazhuang quickly picked up the big pot and squatted under a big tree. The two
The female soldier covered the bonfire with the soil she had prepared long ago. Lighting a fire in the forest is also a dangerous thing. Although you can eat hot food, it can also reveal your whereabouts and location, especially when there are airplanes in the sky.
.
What appeared in everyone's sight was a dark green fighter plane flying at low altitude. Tang Cheng raised his head and squinted his eyes, trying to identify whether it was a fighter plane or a reconnaissance plane. At this moment, someone among the hidden troops suddenly cheered loudly.
, I saw two fighter jets with colorful paint on the fuselage flying from the opposite direction. They were light and strong, and their speed seemed to be very fast. In the blink of an eye, they passed over Tangcheng and the others. The Jagged Eighteen under the wings.
The star logo resembles the starlight in the dark night.
"It's our plane. Did you see it? That's our plane." The defeated soldiers in the forest cheered, and Tang Cheng also burst into tears with excitement like those defeated soldiers. Tang Cheng and the others didn't know about these two planes.
Strictly speaking, the plane with the Iron Blooded Eighteen Stars logo under the wing is not the national army's own plane. It is the plane of the flying team formed by the American Chennault to aid China. But Tangcheng doesn't care, as long as they see the plane under the wing.
