The early morning fog gradually dissipated, and early risers in the town of Ledo began to gather together to talk about the gunshots that rang out in the middle of the night yesterday. Wallace also came to the hospital early in the morning. He came to find George to ask about Ledo.
Regarding the external battle situation. When he learned that Tang Cheng was going to lead his defeated troops across the river to clear out the remaining Japanese troops, Wallace was extremely willing. Even when the colonel from the expeditionary force headquarters asked him for questioning, he patted his chest.
He said that this plan was made yesterday.
As a reward for Wallace's righteousness, Tangcheng did not actually carry Wallace's British soldiers across the river this time. The 100 British soldiers who followed Tangcheng across the river were actually stationed at a distance from the wooden bridge.
On a high ground a mile away, they temporarily served as Tangcheng's rear security force. They didn't have to fight the Japanese army with their own soldiers, but they got a share of the final victory. Such a good thing doesn't happen every day.
Yes, although he had never actually been on the battlefield, Wallace was not a fool, so he immediately agreed to support Tangcheng with some ammunition and supplies.
"George, do you think Tang and the others can kill those Japanese rob heads outside Lieduo?" Although Wallace had joined Tang Cheng, he was still a little panicked. Can Tangcheng hold Lieduo?
Wallace always believed that it was the 40mm anti-aircraft gun. Besides, Tangcheng still had a lot of light and heavy machine guns at the time. But going out to wipe out the Japanese troops was another matter. At least Tangcheng and the others were fighting in the mountains.
At that time, it was impossible to carry heavy firepower weapons such as heavy machine guns.
"My dear Mr. Colonel, you have to have confidence in Tang and the others. They are also guarding Lieduo. When we came to Lieduo through the jungle, I saw with my own eyes that they were constantly wiping out the Japanese carrot heads.
, and even once, Tang only used a dozen people to kill an entire team of Japanese soldiers. "George did not panic, but comforted the somewhat panicked Wallace." Tang has many abilities, you just need to let him
As long as your soldiers guard the wooden bridge and Ledo, they may be able to return to Ledo victoriously tomorrow.
George has always had confidence in Tangcheng's fighting power. This is all due to what George saw with his own eyes on the way through the jungle. "Sir, the little Japs have been spotted." Just as George and Wallace were nesting in the queue.
While they were talking and laughing in the hospital, Tang Cheng's group, who had crossed the river to wipe out the remaining Japanese troops, had appeared outside a valley more than 20 miles away from Lieduo. After leaving Lieduo, Tangcheng sent a group of more than a dozen people headed by Dice.
A scout went out to search, but apart from finding a dozen Japanese stragglers who had fallen behind, they could no longer find any traces left by the Japanese army. After rushing outside the valley, the scouts who went out to search could not find any traces left by the Japanese army.
Good news came back.
Tang Cheng Mao asked, and moved forward with the scouts who returned to report, until they reached the position where Dice and the others were lying. Only then did Tang Cheng stop. Dice and his scouts were lying in a fan shape in the field outside the valley.
, the camouflage covering the scouts concealed their figures very well. The positions of Tangcheng and Dice were at the forefront of the entire fan-shaped shape. "There is a sentry post 200 meters directly in front. Fortunately, I just saw it there.
There is smoke coming out, otherwise we people will be in trouble." Dice was still a little scared when he thought of the thrill just now, but when he talked to Tang Cheng, his tone was full of disdain for the Japanese army.
.
After hearing this, Tang Cheng raised his telescope and looked in the direction mentioned by Dice. Without Dice's guidance, Tang Cheng would not have been able to see where the Japanese sentry post was. With Dice's reminder, Tang Cheng could easily tell the difference.
The suspicious khaki color hidden behind a few shrubs came from it. The khaki color was the color of the Japanese military uniforms. Tang Cheng couldn’t believe that there happened to be people here in Lieduo who liked to wear clothes of this color. Tang Cheng kept staring at the suspicious bushes with binoculars.
, until half an hour later, one of the shrubs finally moved, and the suspicious khaki color discovered by Tang Cheng finally showed its true shape.
A small Japanese soldier emerged from behind the bush and stood up. He looked left and right for a while, and then quickly ran to a depression not far from the bush. After a while, the Japanese soldier was tidying up.
He hurriedly returned while taking off his pants. Tang Cheng, who was holding a telescope, laughed secretly, thinking that this guy had gone to the toilet. "Continue to monitor, it's still early, let's wait until dark before taking action, just in time for the brothers to take turns.
Go to sleep slowly." Tang Cheng warned the dice a few words, then slowly retreated and waited for dark.
Having discovered traces of the Japanese army, no more fires could be lit. Everyone, including Tang Cheng, could only eat cold cans. After filling their stomachs, the defeated soldiers began to take turns sleeping, waiting for the sky to get dark to observe the enemy's situation.
He was replaced by his scout. "I'm afraid that the stubborn little Japs have nothing to eat. I saw the Japs soldiers hiding behind the bushes digging grass roots and wild vegetables. The Japanese are barbaric and don't even cook them. They are just like that."
If it is stuffed into the stomach alive, it looks like it was born by cattle and sheep." Dice's words made the defeated soldiers snicker.
"It's not surprising. Think about what it was like when we first walked to Savage Mountain. These Japanese soldiers are already very capable of walking out of the forest. Where can there be extra food? It's good to be able to eat grass roots and wild vegetables.
Maybe they will just eat grass in a few days." Tang Cheng was also laughing. The Japanese army's lack of food was good news for him. As long as these Japanese soldiers were driven back to the woods, they might even starve to death.
them.
After more than half a day of recuperating, Tang Cheng and the others regained the energy they had when they stayed behind for a long time. Following the instructions of the scouts, Tang Cheng quietly moved forward with more than a dozen broken troops who were responsible for the assault. They passed the scouts.
The forward position was only less than 200 meters away from the Japanese sentry post. Tang Cheng and others began to be more and more careful. He signaled to Hou San beside him, and Tang Cheng, who was lying in the field, slowly lifted off his robes.
Wrapped in camouflage, he pushed his left foot on the ground and bent his right leg, ready for impact.
Following Tang Cheng's gesture, the dozen or so soldiers on the assault mission were ready to attack. Everyone remained silent, waiting for Tang Cheng to give the order to attack. However, Tang Cheng remained silent.
It was dark in front of everyone, and everyone's eyes were wide open, as if some monsters or beasts that would devour people's lives would rush out of the darkness at any time.
Time seemed to pass very slowly. Tang Cheng's hand was sweating as he held the gun. His throat rolled, but his saliva had already dried up. His mouth was dry and a little bitter. Tang Cheng finally moved.
, as Tang Cheng waved his arm vigorously, the assault soldiers who had sneaked to less than 50 meters away from the bushes simultaneously stood up and rushed over quickly. There were no beasts or monsters that everyone was worried about, and there were none that Tang Cheng was worried about.
Intense barrages continued until the two Japanese soldiers who were huddled and napping behind the bushes were captured alive. Everything Tang Cheng had worried about had not happened.
Finally able to secretly breathe a sigh of relief, Tangcheng left a dozen of the broken soldiers who were responsible for the assault to guard the place, but he took Zhao Liang, who also spoke Japanese, and the two Japanese soldiers who were captured alive, back to the woods where they started.
This was the first time that Zhao Liang had witnessed Tangcheng's method of interrogating prisoners. After the bloody interrogation, Zhao Liang had already vomited and was so dizzy that he could hardly walk. "The Japanese have always been our enemies, and we cannot treat our enemies the same way."
To be soft-hearted, to be soft-hearted to them, is to be irresponsible and indifferent to the people around you." Tang Cheng's alternative explanation failed to make Zhao Liang feel better, so Tang Cheng had no choice but to leave him behind and follow the scouts.
"The situation is like this. There are indeed Japanese troops in the valley, and the number is not small. There are probably more than 50. The leader is a Japanese major. However, they have two grenade launchers and a light machine gun, and most of them are veterans. This
It's not easy for us to fight." Tang Cheng, who returned to the outpost, wiped the blood on his hands and summoned the assault troops to gather together to discuss countermeasures. "The only good news is that the Japanese army really has nothing to eat.
, if we don’t come, they will start raiding the surrounding villages to get food tomorrow.”
The defeated soldiers gathered around looked at Tang Cheng. They were good at fighting, but when it came to commanding the battle, none of them dared to say that they were better than Tang Cheng. "I think so," the prisoner said. The Japanese troops in the valley were all concentrated in one place.
We are hiding in a cave. We don’t know if there are any strange passages in the cave. Let’s just pretend that the cave has only one exit. Tonight, we will take down the little Japs’ sentry first. As long as the Japs in the cave don’t come out, we won’t take the initiative to attack.
After daybreak, just pile firewood and smoke these Japanese soldiers to death."
Tangcheng's plan made the defeated soldiers applaud. This was the safest way. We didn't have to fight to the death with the Japanese soldiers, and we could just wait and work to deal with the Japanese soldiers in the valley. It only took one more night, but for Tangcheng
For them, the most indispensable thing now is time. With the help of the stars and dim moonlight in the night sky, a dozen of them from Tangcheng spread out and sneaked into the valley, and removed the other two sentry posts set up by the Japanese army one by one. Everything was in order.
After that, Tangcheng deployed light machine guns to guard the entrance of the cave, and the other people dispersed and waited for the dawn to come.
In the night, the valley is still quiet, everything seems calm, but under the cover of calm is an upcoming battle. Perhaps this will be the simplest battle in their lives in Tangcheng. Time passes by.
As the minutes passed, the two soldiers who served as machine gunner and assistant shooter were the most nervous. They kept staring nervously in front of them. Although they could not see clearly in front of them, they knew that the entrance of the cave was there.
Directly in front of you, less than 30 meters away.
