At about 5 o'clock in the morning, the sky in Liedou was already dim and bright. It could be seen that the weather today was good, and the sky was clear and cloudless, which seemed to indicate that there would be a victory. Tang Cheng, who had not slept much all night, got out of bed.
Looking at the clear sky outside the window, Tang Cheng seemed to be in a particularly good mood. The wound on Tang Cheng's back had been treated with medicine, and it was nothing serious. After discussing it with the director of the hospital for a long time last night, the stubborn old man finally agreed.
The hospital will not evacuate yet. But if Liedo cannot hold on any longer, Tang Cheng will have to personally escort all the medical staff of the hospital to Lambga.
"All the British troops in Ledo have begun to evacuate. I got a radio from Wallace and will try to contact the flying team later. I have to airdrop some ammunition, otherwise you carbines
We don’t have enough bullets.” George opened the door and came in from the outside. He sat down on Tang Cheng’s bed without any courtesy. He grabbed Tang Cheng’s freshly opened can and started chewing it. While eating, he talked about the movements of the British army. “Tang Cheng
, the British army has retreated, no one here cares about us, there is nothing, how can we garrison it?" Tang Cheng, who had been robbed of the can by George, helplessly smashed the grease on his hands.
"Go and call Third Brother and Dice, and let them shave the heads of the newcomers. Even if they die, they will die like soldiers." Tang Cheng whispered to Tan Fei through the window, and the latter
Although he didn't know what the relationship between shaving his head and death was, he still followed Tang Cheng's instructions to find Hou San and Di Di. After a short while, Di Di, who was holding a cigarette in his mouth, carried his sniper rifle and entered Tang City.
In the room, when he saw George eating a can, Dice became happy.
"Huangmao, you are so stupid that you ate it with your eyes open. How come it didn't choke you to death?" Dice's words sounded very vicious, but George just nodded in response and continued to chew the meat without raising his head.
Can. They have been together with Dice for a long time, and even George himself can curse a few curse words in broken Chinese. Besides, he also knows that what Dice just said was just teasing him, and he cannot make the mistake of arguing with Dice because of a joke.
What's more, he was afraid that Dice would take the opportunity to snatch the can in his hand.
"A dozen of the guys outside have been found to have infectious diseases by doctors, what should we do?" Hou San, who came in later, had a serious face. It was Tang Cheng's idea to check the health of the assembled defeated soldiers. Tang Cheng's original intention was not to
The doctors and nurses who were dedicated to evacuating were left idle, but no one expected that an infectious disease would actually be detected.
Tang Cheng was stunned by the news Hou San brought, and then he took out his cigarettes and took out one first, giving the others to Hou San. "What can we do? Send them back to the hospital. Isn't that what doctors do?
Leave them all to the hospital." Tang Cheng seemed to be complaining before he finished. George and Dice, who had just put down the cans, reached out to grab the cigarettes that did not belong to Hou San. As a punishment for the two of them, Tang Cheng gave each of them a cruel punishment.
After a hard kick, he relieved his anger.
"We have rested all night. Let the remaining people of Lieduo go to the river to dig bunkers and trenches today. Otherwise, when the Japanese army comes over, we will all be doomed. No matter what, we must prepare early.
I don't think it's possible to count on others. In the end, we have to rely on ourselves." Tang Cheng, who snatched a few cigarettes back from Dice, lit one with satisfaction. While smoking, he explained what the three of them had to do today.
"Then can I not go? You know, I need to use the radio to contact the flying team." George, who still had oil stains on his mouth, came up to Tang Cheng with a shy face. Zhao Zhi looked at George with contempt and stretched out his hand.
He pushed away George's big face. "Everyone has to go, except the wounded and those in the hospital. I'll be there soon." Tang Cheng angrily yelled at the pretentious George. This guy has been hanging out with Dice and the others for a long time.
Yes, I have learned a thick skin.
Tangcheng's order naturally caused a commotion in the rout. Most of the rout soldiers, who had only had two full meals, were unwilling to dig trenches and bunkers. Anyway, they would retreat when the Japanese army came. Everyone was already used to retreating.
"Shut the hell up." Hou San, who was full of anger, held his carbine and stood on the table where the patients were being examined in the hospital and shouted loudly, "Shut up the hell. Our commander said, the Japanese army
They will definitely attack, so Lieduo must defend. We now need guns and food, so what are you afraid of? Go dig trenches for me."
"Sir, it's not that we won't go, but the brothers are still injured, so we really can't do anything." A soldier wearing an English helmet looked at Hou San, who was glaring with a smile, but his face was filled with anger.
Disdainful. This guy is obviously a thorn in the side, but many soldiers agreed with his words. After all, digging trenches is not an easy task, and there is nothing better than staying here to eat, drink, and idle.
"You're not going, right? You can." Hou San chuckled and then waved his hand, rushing over to a few guys with guns and live ammunition, and in just a few strokes, he stripped the thorn-headed soldiers naked. "The new military uniforms are the result of our grandfathers fighting for their lives.
Yes, get out. Those who don’t want to go, take off the military uniforms we issued and call for the food that will be sent to you. You can get out now." Hou San’s words were very domineering, and they were indeed domineering, because the surrounding soldiers were making noises.
It was already filled with soldiers who had been issued weapons and were eager to fight.
Facing the dark muzzles around them, the defeated soldiers who did not dare to continue to make noises were divided into two parts. The majority were willing to dig trenches, while only a dozen or so people were unwilling to go. Throwing in a few tattered military uniforms, those few
This guy was driven out of here by Tan Fei and his men. To deal with the veteran gangsters, you can only be as arrogant as Hou San and others, otherwise you will not be able to deal with them at all.
Zhao Liang then led people to dig out a large number of engineering shovels, pickaxes and other tools from the hospital's warehouse. The guys who had just put on new military uniforms were lined up to dig trenches. Of course, George couldn't be idle, he wanted to
Use that radio to contact the flying team and try to get an ammunition airdrop for Tangcheng.
"You only have 200 wounded soldiers. You can't defeat the Japanese army at all. You don't know how terrible they are. If I were you, I would take these children to withdraw to Ramgarh and wait for the follow-up troops to counterattack here.
Only the Japanese army would take them to fight, and now they will die here in vain." Zhao Liang and the others had just taken the defeated soldiers to dig trenches, when the stubborn hospital director could no longer bear it and finally stood up to persuade him.
Tangcheng evacuated Lieduo.
Tang Cheng just smiled at the stubborn old man but said nothing. He knew that the old man was not a coward, because Tang Cheng had already experienced the power of the old man last night. "Mr. Dean, we are soldiers, and soldiers should die on the battlefield.
The withdrawal from Mandalay is a last resort, but we have already withdrawn, so we are ready to have a good fight with the Japanese troops chasing the two of us in Lido. Maybe we will die a lot of people, and maybe the whole army will be annihilated here, but you see
Have any of us regretted it?" Tang Cheng turned to look at the old man with a smile.
"Sir, you don't understand us Chinese soldiers at all. Soldiers from any country invaded by the enemy will do the same, and we are only a small part of them, a very small part." Tang Cheng stretched out his hand and gestured to the old man with his thumb and index finger.
"They are all warriors, not cowards, so facing the enemy is what they must do, just like your doctors and nurses face the wounded all day long. This is their fate."
It’s their business.”
"Madman, you are a madman, you are all madmen, you are going to die in vain. Why? Why do you have to do this? Can't you evacuate to a safer place first, wait until their injuries are healed, and then go find those damned people?
The Japanese army is fighting?" The old man was completely angry. He completely ignored the glaring Hou San next to Tang Cheng. He stretched out his hand and grabbed the front of Tang Cheng's military uniform. Tang Cheng also ignored the saliva splattering on his face from the old man's mouth.
, just looked at the furious old man with a calm face. At this moment, Tang Cheng seemed to see the shadow of Robert in this furious old man.
"Sir, I apologize for detaining you and your doctors and nurses without permission." Tang Cheng stopped Hou San from trying to force the two of them to separate. Instead, he gently broke away from the old man's grasp, took two steps back and looked deeply at the old man.
Bowed deeply. "In war, there will always be casualties. I am keeping you because of my soldiers. I am good at fighting, but treating the wounded is not what I can do. Therefore, I ask for your and
With the help of your doctors and nurses, when the battle begins, I hope you can take action to treat the wounded we sent down."
Before the old man could answer, Tang Cheng had already led Hou San away from the hospital. The weather had improved, and the Japanese troops had not fired artillery fire. Tang Cheng felt much better. He stood at the door of the hospital, looking up.
It was a bright day, and he was thinking in his mind. After experiencing life and death in the vast jungle again, Tang Cheng suddenly felt empty in his heart. He was already a little confused. The brothers who followed him were fighting less and less, and every time they fought, they would be
There are a few fewer people, and he is becoming more and more cold-blooded. Tang Cheng has killed Japanese soldiers and his own people. Anyone who is dangerous to him has become his enemy. Tang Cheng doesn't know whether this is right or not.
he does not know.
But when Tang Cheng thought of Robert, Liu Yangyang, Yanhu and Manniu, his heart couldn't help but feel warm, and something seemed to be connected in his mind. Yes, even for these people who have passed away, he must take good care of himself.
Live for the sake of the people he loves and those who love him. After some ideological struggle, Tang Cheng finally understood the doubts in his heart. Now the rain has finally passed and the sky has cleared. Tang Cheng fastened his helmet.
After striding out of the hospital, he wanted to see the newly joined soldiers.
