The defeated soldiers who were scolded by Hou San lowered their heads and said nothing, and then someone finally responded, "Sir, we are not afraid of the little devil, but the brothers are all wounded and have no food in their stomachs. Many brothers are fighting for
After filling our stomachs, we bought all the guns. We also want to kill those Japs to avenge our brothers who died in the battle, but we can’t use fire sticks to beat the Japs, right?” Without guns or bullets, many people even lost their military uniforms.
, this is the current situation of these defeated troops.
"I know it's not easy for everyone, and my commander also knows it. Therefore, my commander asked for a warehouse from the British army. Whatever you need, and what we don't have, we have in the warehouse. Guns will be issued to you, and you can fill them.
There is plenty of food to fill your stomach, military uniforms, and medicines, but if you want these things, you must defend Lieduo with us." Hou San didn't know what was going on in Tangcheng, and he didn't say what he said.
There was some confusion at first, but fortunately most of these defeated soldiers were fools, and they didn't hear the flaw in Hou San's words.
More than 200 defeated soldiers gathered in the courtyard of the brothel. It was impossible for the doctors and nurses in the hospital not to see them. Anyone who could understand Chinese learned that these guys who looked like beggars were preparing to defend Ledo.
I couldn't help but call out to God. "Children, you are all good soldiers, but you should all be wounded now. The troops stationed here are about to evacuate. Your mission should also be over. It is time to retreat with the troops."
, don’t make unnecessary sacrifices.” The hospital yard, whose jeep was robbed by Tang Cheng, wanted to persuade Hou San and others to follow the hospital and retreat, but was held aside by several broken soldiers with guns raised.
"Mr. Dean, I also want to take them back, but you have also seen the current state of most of them. Those who are still injured cannot walk far at all, and there are only three trucks in your hospital.
, there is simply no way to take away all the wounded. Instead of letting them die on the way, it is better for me to take them to stay and guard Liduo. Maybe there will be fewer people dying by then." Hou San was eager to appear.
Tangcheng finally made it back in time.
"My name is Tang Cheng, but I'm just a little captain. I don't know your names, nor which army you belonged to before. Maybe there are some of you with a higher rank than me, but I want to say that now you can only
Follow my command." Tang Cheng, who succeeded Hou San and stood on the stone, took the lead, but it caused a new round of commotion among the forcibly assembled soldiers. Looking at the commotion in front of him, Tang Cheng's
With a sneer on his face, following Tang Cheng's gesture, Tan Fei jumped out of the jeep, picked up a box and threw it hard on the open ground at the feet of Tang Cheng.
The wooden box shattered when it fell. The few soldiers closest to Tangcheng subconsciously dodged, but their eyes focused on the broken wooden box in the next moment. "It's a can, it's a can." Move forward.
Several broken soldiers began to shout and squatted down to pick up the cans rolled out of the wooden box. Bang bang bang, Hou San and others who had been issued carbines fired into the sky, except for the few who were snatching the cans.
In addition to the defeated soldiers, the other defeated soldiers who heard the gunfire immediately stood up straight.
"Look at your useless appearance, it's really embarrassing." Tang Cheng took a can from a defeated soldier and raised it above his head, "I also have a whole warehouse, new uniforms, weapons and enough for such things.
I still have a lot of bullets for you, more than you dare to think about." After looking around at these defeated soldiers, Tang Cheng said, "I only ask one thing now, I want to defend Lieduo, who among you
Who is willing to follow me to fight the Japanese army?"
Big sticks and carrots are always useful to the hungry soldiers. The cans and biscuits moved from the jeep were quickly distributed to the soldiers. Tangcheng also took the opportunity to treat the more than 200 soldiers according to their daily routine.
A team of 30 people was divided into several teams.
"Which one of you can drive?" Tang Cheng looked at the three trucks parked in the hospital yard and shouted loudly to the defeated soldiers. As soon as Tang Cheng finished speaking, more than a dozen people stood up and cheered.
Tang Cheng randomly selected a few of the defeated soldiers who claimed to be able to drive.
"Glasses, you take them to drive all the cars here, take some brothers to the warehouse, empty the warehouse for me, and bring the things back to the hospital." Tang Cheng asked Tan Fei to quickly bring people.
When he went to the warehouse, he was afraid that the Japanese army would really attack the column, and that the frightened British soldiers would really go back and burn the warehouse. He didn't want his brothers to start fleeing in ragged clothes and empty stomachs.
.
The doctors and nurses in Liedo Hospital were already preparing to evacuate. All the medicines and equipment that could be taken away had been packed and they could leave at any time as long as the things were loaded into the car. But when they heard the roar of the truck,
By that time, the convoy had already pulled away from the hospital. "You robber, why did you drive away our truck?" The hospital director with a mustache grabbed Tang Cheng and asked. Although he was a little afraid of the carbines in Hou San's hands, he still
This dean, who is upright by nature, cannot tolerate Tangcheng's repeated robbery of vehicles. Without trucks, what will the doctors and nurses under him do?
"Mr. Dean, your trucks have been requisitioned by me. The Japanese army can enter the town at any time. For you and for us, I must requisition these trucks to carry weapons and ammunition to arm my soldiers." Tangcheng
He had no intention of quarreling with this stubborn old man, so he just gave a vague explanation and prepared to turn around and leave. According to the military doctor's information, there were a large number of trauma equipment and medicines in this hospital. Since the hospital and the British army were about to retreat, Tang
Cheng decided to withhold these medicines for his own use.
"Nono, this is not a reason for you to seize the trucks. Those trucks are used to help hospital personnel evacuate. You cannot order them to be driven away. These doctors and nurses are non-combatants. If the Japanese come in, do you want them to carry them too?
Do you want to use the gun to fight?" The dean held Tang Cheng tightly, and his pair of beautiful mustaches also curled up due to rage. Being caught by the stubborn dean and refusing to let go, Tang Cheng could not act forcefully, so he could only act
He tried to comfort him, but no matter what he said, the extremely stubborn dean would not let go and let Tang Cheng leave.
"Well, since you won't let me go, I can only stay with you. Anyway, there will be casualties when the battle starts. If you stay, you can help me treat the wounded." Tang Cheng, who had no choice but to act rogue,
He simply gave an order to Hou San, asking him to lead the broken soldiers equipped with carbines to directly blockade the entire hospital. The doctors and nurses who were waiting to evacuate were once again driven back to the ward and their offices.
"You robber, you warlord, I will accuse you. You will definitely regret for the things you have done." The dean, who was pushed back to the office by the defeated soldiers, shouted reluctantly.
It's a pity that his protest sounded far less threatening to Tangcheng than the Japanese army's cries of death. Tangcheng didn't intend to defend the hospital. He just regarded it as a stronghold temporarily. After all, the doctors and nurses he detained were all here, and
The location of the hospital has not been hit by artillery fire, which shows that it is safer than other places in Liduo.
The only bridge they walked out of Savage Mountain and into Lieduo that day was the bridge they walked over that day, so after Tangcheng ordered the detention of all the doctors and nurses here, they sent Dice and Yanlong with 20 broken soldiers who were issued with carbines.
Go out to guard the bridge. The more than 200 broken soldiers gathered by Hou San and the others look like a lot of people, but actually excluding those who are still injured, the number of broken soldiers who can actually participate in the battle will not exceed 160. In other words,
Tangcheng could only rely on these 160 defeated troops to hold on to Lieduo.
Tan Fei, who returned with the truck, not only brought a large amount of weapons, ammunition and supplies, but also brought back to Tangcheng a map of the location of the outer forts of Lieduo. This map was found by George in the Heron when he was idle.
Relying on the large amount of cans and cigarettes brought back by Tan Fei, Hou San mingled with the defeated soldiers. The defeated soldiers who stayed in the hospital only had two meals a day. As for the defeated soldiers who lived in Lieduo, they were even more miserable.
It was miserable, anyway, they were just exhausted. Hou San and the others brought boxes of cans and cartons of cigarettes. The soldiers had never seen such an array before. They were all eating hard, fearing that they would die
There is no such store in this village.
However, after eating, Hou San was not allowed to hide or carry it away. He only gave up a few boxes of cans and a few cartons of cigarettes, and Hou San and the others gathered all their thoughts of defeating the army. Isn’t it just for stuttering that everyone becomes a soldier?
Now that Tangcheng and the others have food for everyone, of course we should follow them first, and if that doesn't work, we can leave later. This is the real thought of the veterans among the defeated soldiers. Most of these veterans have transferred to many units.
They have often done such things as carrying men for others and selling soldiers. Now it is just a change of place to eat, so most people have no objection to joining Tangcheng. It is natural for soldiers to fight.
Most of them want to fight the devils.
Tang Cheng didn't go chatting with the defeated soldiers, not because he was not interested, but because he didn't have time. He was still studying the map that George found. According to the news that George got from the British army, the British army was building outside Lieduo.
The caliber of the artillery on those forts was not very large, which meant that the Japanese troops who occupied the forts were unable to cover the entire column with those artillery fires. In this way, if these Japanese troops wanted to capture the columns, they would eventually have to conduct ground operations.
An attack would do, and this was exactly what Tang Cheng was worried about. He had no idea how many Japanese troops were coming from outside Lieduo.
However, Tangcheng can be sure that the Japanese troops coming out of the jungle will not have heavy firepower weapons in their hands. At most, they will carry light machine guns or grenade launchers, and even more small-caliber light mortars. They have a whole
Tangcheng, which has warehouses of weapons and ammunition, is not afraid of the Japanese light machine guns or light mortars. As long as the Japanese army does not attack at night, after dawn, the Tangcheng security guards will kill as many Japanese troops as they can attack.
