After dinner, seeing that it was still early outside, Tang Cheng, who had changed into military uniform, was encouraged by George and the others to go out for a walk. When Tang Cheng walked out of the Lieduo Hospital, he could see the whole hospital clearly.
It turned out that this hospital was only a temporary establishment, with a simple wooden fence surrounding an open space in a circle. The ward where Tang Cheng was located was in a two-story building about twenty feet long and wide, with a flat roof.
Inside, many wounded soldiers of the expeditionary force were accommodated. Opposite the small building is a row of low buildings, which are the pharmacy, operating room and doctor's office. Although the facilities here are very simple, it is indeed a new place for the soldiers of the expeditionary force who have traveled a long distance.
The starting point of life.
The nurses and doctors were busy coming in and out of the hospital, and no one noticed that Tang Cheng and others wearing brand new military uniforms were actually their wounded. When we walked out of the hospital, the setting sun made everyone's faces blush.
Just a few days ago, they were a group of ragged soldiers with no food in their bellies, but now they were wearing full American military uniforms and eating canned biscuits every day.
In the past, no one would have dared to think about such a day. They were afraid that they were dreaming, and when they woke up, there would still be nothing. But now, after pinching myself or someone else's thigh, I realized that it was all true.
, there was no noise, no cheering, everyone just leaned quietly outside the hospital door, smoking quietly.
"Let's go, now that we're out, let's go around." After taking a puff of cigarette, Tang Cheng threw away the cigarette butts in his hands and called to George and the others who looked calm. Lido was not big, and if he hadn't walked out of Savage Mountain,
The defeated soldiers regarded this place as a gathering place. If it weren't for the troops stationed here, perhaps Lieduo would not have been known to the world at all. Several barefoot children were running and playing outside the hospital, worried about this originally silent place.
The place was a bit noisy, maybe because of Tang Cheng himself. He always raised his head to make it seem like someone was spying on him. He followed the other person's line of sight and looked over. Tang Cheng couldn't help but be stunned. It was a few people sitting outside the fence of the hospital.
The national army collapsed.
Following George as he walked around Lieduo, Tangcheng saw more and more defeated soldiers of the national army. Most of these defeated soldiers had indifferent and dazed eyes, while some of the defeated soldiers had arrogant expressions on their faces.
Put your injured limb across the entire alley or street to create the last bit of trouble for others. Then cry out in pain and scream when someone touches you to make others aware of their existence.
It is also used to indicate one's existence to others.
Compared with them, Tangcheng and the others are full of life, with brand new military uniforms, free food, and now they still have time to play in Lieduo. Seeing that Tangcheng has been paying attention to the national soldiers wandering in Lieduo.
After the troops were defeated, George put his arm around Tang Cheng's shoulders and said, "It's all Mike's fault that you guys were admitted to Lieduo Hospital. If Mike hadn't contacted the US military observation group, those arrogant British military doctors in the hospital would never have done it.
I will heal you. After all, you are just a little captain. In their eyes, a captain is not an officer."
Tang Cheng was not angry because of George's words. On the contrary, he kept thinking about George's words. When he returned to the hospital, Tang Cheng secretly paid attention to the faces of the British doctors and nurses. It turned out to be the same as what George said.
When looking at people like himself, there was disdain and dissatisfaction in his eyes. There was no way, in George's words, India was a British occupied territory, and the ones with the most military losses were the British army. If Tangcheng wanted to do something
, it is impossible to avoid the British army.
"It would be great if Albert and the others were still alive." Tang Cheng, who was lying on the hospital bed, suddenly missed Albert who had died in the jungle. Tang Cheng really couldn't ignore those people wandering around Liduo.
The national army was defeated. Those people had walked through the Savage Mountain after all, but now he was unable to help them. There was a "boom" and the chandelier in the Tangcheng ward began to shake. After a moment of trance,
, Tang Cheng, who was on the hospital bed, had already rolled out of bed and got under the bed.
There was another explosion. The sound of the explosion should be heavy artillery, at least no worse than the Japanese 75 mountain artillery. The explosion was far away from here. Tang Cheng, who was hiding under the hospital bed, cast his weapon.
Shi Ran climbed out. "Go to George and fire all our guns." Tang Cheng was putting on his military uniform. Hou San, who was also awakened by the explosion, opened the door and walked in. He saw that the corridor was full of people who were panicked by the explosion.
The doctor and nurse, Tang Cheng arranged for Hou San to go to George's room to get the gun.
After putting on his military uniform and taking the carbine handed over by Hou San, Tang Cheng felt somewhat confident. "George, go find the director of the hospital and tell them not to panic. Third brother and I will go out to check the situation."
." Although he still didn't know what happened, Tang Cheng couldn't sit back and watch the panic in the hospital. He immediately asked George to find the director of the hospital, while he led Hou San and others out of the hospital with guns in hand.
There was another explosion, and a ball of fire a few hundred meters away from the hospital. Under the light of the fire, Tang Cheng saw in the telescope that a house collapsed in the fire. "What's going on?" Tang Cheng
When Cheng led everyone out of the hospital, he happened to see a group of British soldiers holding torches walking on the road. Tang Cheng stopped one of them to ask about the situation. Lieduo was the territory of the British army, and these British soldiers naturally knew it.
What happened? Tang Cheng asked a few questions in English and figured out what happened.
It turned out that it was not only the defeated troops of the expeditionary force who came out of Savage Mountain and retreated to Liedou, but also the Japanese troops who had been chasing the expeditionary army in the jungle all the way. Although I don’t know how many Japanese troops were chasing Liedou, the British troops were among them.
Two of the fixed forts built on the outskirts of Duodu have already fallen into the hands of the Japanese troops. The shelling just now was caused by the Japanese troops controlling the forts bombarding them. The group of British soldiers stopped by Tangcheng were about to
Rush to a military warehouse on the west side of Ledo. In order to prevent the Japanese army from seizing the weapons and ammunition inside, they are now going to burn down the warehouse.
When he heard that there was a weapons warehouse here in Lieduo, Hou San stared at Tang Cheng with bright eyes, clearly seeing the appearance of a drunkard with old wine. Of course, Tang Cheng had seen Hou San's hint, so he just walked out of the hospital.
George also pulled over, Fei persuaded the British second lieutenant leading the team to find their commander here. "Tang, no, that warehouse belongs to the British army, we are not their people, your idea is simply
Impossible." George tried his best to dissuade Tang Cheng. George knew very well what the back and forth between Tang Cheng and Hou San meant.
But Tang Cheng didn't care about this at all. He kept stopping the British soldiers waiting for their lieutenant colonel commander named Wallace to arrive. Tang Cheng stretched out his hand and pulled George to him. "George, tell them,
We will help them burn the arsenal. They can return to the team or leave, and I will help them guard Liduo." Tang Cheng, who was a little impatient, simply changed his mind and grabbed it. These supplies were very important to him. With these things, he could help
The national troops scattered in Lieduo were defeated.
Tang Cheng pretended not to know English and allowed George to negotiate with the lieutenant colonel named Wallace. But no matter what George said, the British lieutenant colonel named Wallace just shook his head. "Tang, Wallace said now
There are too many Japanese troops outside Liduo. The British troops stationed here are about to evacuate, so the warehouse must be burned. He has received an order from the British military headquarters not to let the materials in the warehouse fall.
into the hands of the Japanese army, he said that he admired your courage very much, but he thought that you could not hold Liduo because the Japanese army had too many people."
"What a fucking order, a bullshit order. How do you know I can't defend this place without a fight?" Tang Cheng was like a fighting cock, jumping up and down and cursing, making the British soldiers and Wallace dumbfounded.
Knowing what happened to the Chinese officer, Tang Cheng was furious and pointed at the fire in the distance, "George, tell him that as long as they provide me with weapons and ammunition, I will clean up the Japanese troops outside Liduo for them. Kill.
There are so many Japanese soldiers, and the final credit belongs to him. I only need him to provide me with weapons, ammunition and enough supplies."
Although he didn't know why Tang Cheng was so serious, George still told Wallace exactly what Tang Cheng said. The latter frowned at first to express surprise, and then began to question Tang Cheng's rhetoric with doubts on his face. "中文翻译
Colonel, do you know how many defeated troops of the expeditionary force there are in Ledo?" Tang Cheng was impatient to use George to translate his words, so he took the initiative to ask Wallace in English, "They are all veterans who have fought with the Japanese army.
, you only need to replace the weapons, ammunition and supplies with me, and I will be responsible for organizing them to deal with the Japanese troops outside Liduo."
Seeing that Wallace was silent, Tang Cheng knew that the other party was already interested, so he continued, "That warehouse of yours came here ready to be burned. Instead of burning it, why not just provide it to me. No matter if I can hold it or not."
Lieduo, this does not violate the orders you received. The warehouse and its contents did not fall into the hands of the Japanese army, did they?"
"Are you really sure you want to do this?" Wallace subconsciously glanced at the carbines that Tang Cheng and the others had flattened in their hands, and just subconsciously asked Tang Cheng. Faced with Tang Cheng's insistence, Hua, who was eager to leave Lieduo,
Laish finally nodded. "Captain, I don't have the authority to hand over the warehouse and the materials in the warehouse to you, and the warehouse must be burned down. However, I have to clean up the headquarters now."
To take away the things, maybe in half an hour, I will send soldiers to burn down the warehouse."
Tang Cheng naturally understood what Wallace meant. He thanked Wallace first, and then called Hou San and the others together. "The British army is about to retreat, but we can't leave. Here
There are so many brothers from the national army. From now on, we have half an hour to move things to the British warehouse. As long as we have enough weapons and ammunition, it will not be difficult to defend Lieduo."
