Tangcheng and the others, who had already scrimped on food and clothing, continued to march hard in the woods, but the heavy rain that had lasted for three days had made them even weaker from the torture of hunger. Some of the weak supplementary soldiers had developed high fevers. Some of them
It is very likely that they will not be able to survive the continuous heavy rain. The only thing Tang Cheng can do now is to let his soldiers eat a warm and dry meal. While cooking, Tang Cheng secretly cursed the weather in northern Myanmar.
, isn’t it that the rainy season has long passed? Why are there still continuous rains, and why do we just happen to encounter them?
The heavy rain seemed to be getting heavier and heavier. In a small depression only two or three kilometers away from their temporary camp in Tangcheng, the remaining 200 people of the rice field brigade gathered together, and the Japanese soldiers, who were skinny and ragged, gathered together.
Holding a rifle with a bayonet on it, he waited in the rain.
Lieutenant Colonel Inadabei no longer had the lofty ambition he had when he was chasing the defeated Chinese troops, and his original bright beard had become as unkempt and yellow as weeds. Now he is very envious of Onimu, who was ambushed by the Chinese army by the Liedo River.
The brigade, at least the shattered Onimu brigade did not have to lead the remaining soldiers back to northern Burma like me through the Foreigner Mountains. Now the purpose of the rice field brigade is no longer to destroy the enemy, but to enable myself to walk out of this forest alive.
An hour ago, the soldiers who went out for reconnaissance brought back good news. Less than 2 kilometers away from their place in the east direction, the soldiers discovered a Burmese village. Although the village did not look very popular, it was full of hungry people.
However, the vanguard saw the cattle and the woman in the telescope. To the surviving soldiers of the rice field brigade, the cattle found by the vanguard meant food, while the woman was a tool for entertainment after a full stomach.
When he heard that a Burmese village had been discovered earlier, and that there were cattle and women in the village, the commander of the rice field soldier first saw a blue light. Not to mention that the cattle found by the commander meant that he could have a full stomach.
I found out that the village also explained that they might have left the Savage Mountain. As long as they found the alliance after leaving the Savage Mountain, they would have everything if they survived.
Inadabei suddenly realized that those previous sufferings and painful decisions were actually Amaterasu's test of himself. Carefully wiping his precious samurai sword, Inadabei put his saber in front of him, and then faced
He knelt down on his knees with his sword in hand and paid homage. "Gentlemen, the tenacity of each of you is very valuable, and the empire will not forget your dedication." Inada Bingwei, who stood up again, looked around at the soldiers in front of him and said in a deep voice.
, "The leading soldiers have discovered a village ahead. I order you to kill all the men in the village. All the food and women will belong to you."
The smoke floating in the pouring rain made the supplementary soldiers consciously form a circle to block the wind and rain. After all, it was not easy to light a fire in this humid environment. The supplies distributed to each team were distributed in front of Tan Fei.
The temporary fire soldiers lined up quietly in the rain, but everyone's eyes were fixed on Tangcheng not far away. The weather in the tropical virgin forest was the same as the woman's face. It changed at any time, maybe because they wanted Tangcheng and the others to eat it.
A real hot meal, and the heavy rain that had been pouring for several days stopped silently.
The dark clouds in the sky began to drift away under the gentle breeze, and a trace of mist rose in the humid rain forest, and the mist gradually became denser. The dissipation of the heavy rain made everyone feel better, although the sun could not penetrate the mist yet.
The light shone into the forest, but the soldiers who were waiting around the campfire to eat were all smiling. Tang Cheng, who was also hungry, couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. The supplies were getting less and less, and the physical strength of his soldiers was exhausted.
It's not as good as it used to be. If we can't get out of the woods in a short time, we may suffer non-combat losses again.
The sound of snapping grass and trees in the bushes not far away made Tang Cheng's heart flash. Could there be some animal passing by? Tang Cheng, who was overjoyed, gently pulled the bolt of the gun. It seemed that he had just hit his luck.
If we could hunt a wild boar or something, it would be enough for everyone to have a nice meal. It’s up to two people to decide whether the meat is enough, but at least no one can share a bowl of broth. At this time, a bowl of broth is enough.
Reinvigorate those weak replacement soldiers.
The moment Tang Cheng raised his gun and aimed at the bush, a dark figure emerged from the bush. Although he couldn't see it clearly through the fog, Tang Cheng was surprised to find that the so-called animal turned out to be a similar person.
Ragged Japanese soldiers. Why are there Japanese soldiers here? Tang Cheng, who was holding a carbine, was stunned. The Japanese soldier who had already emerged from the bushes was also dumbfounded. It seemed that he didn’t understand why they appeared here.
So many guys wearing U.S. military uniforms.
When the exchange of fire broke out inadvertently, almost at the same time, Tang Cheng discovered that the Japanese soldiers reacted very quickly. Before Tang Cheng could aim the gun at him, he had already raised his gun and shot at Tang Cheng. When the black hole of the gun was pointed directly at him, Tang Cheng
His mind went blank, and he couldn't even turn the muzzle of the gun. He just let the opponent look at him and pull the trigger of the rifle. Click, the crisp sound of the Type 38 rifle's needle hitting the primer was very loud in the fog.
clear.
Tang Cheng, who was being aimed at by the Japanese soldier with his rifle, was immediately frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, the little devil's bullet misfired. "Damn" knew that the bullet in the opponent's gun chamber had misfired, and Tang Cheng finally reacted.
Before the opponent could pull the bolt of the gun and load the bullet again, Tang Cheng, who was already striding forward, picked up the butt of his gun and hit the Japanese soldier's chest hard. The exchange between Tang Cheng and the Japanese soldier who suddenly appeared was just a brief exchange.
What happened in an instant, by the time Hou San and the others discovered it, Tang Cheng had already trampled under his feet the Japanese soldier who had been knocked down by him.
"Disperse the people and search around to see if there are any Japanese soldiers around us. Tell the brothers to be more careful. I think something is wrong." Dice and Yanlong took the order and led the scouts to disperse and search around.
, the remaining soldiers no longer had the urgency to wait for meals, and they all carefully guarded the surroundings with their own weapons. After stopping Hou San's kicking, Tang Cheng dragged the still-living Japanese soldier to a bonfire.
Next, he needs to carefully inquire about this guy's origins.
The Japanese soldier, who was so hungry that only his bones were left, didn't need to be questioned carefully by Tang Cheng. Tan Fei only gave him a spoonful of wild vegetable soup, and the Japanese soldier who wolfed it down told him everything Tang Cheng wanted to know. "Listen all.
Come on, I said there were so many Japanese soldiers who would attack Lieduo, but in the final cleanup, only a few people were left. I bet there were still many Japanese soldiers who secretly retreated back to Savage Mountain via the original route. Let’s talk about it.
, since they are our old rivals, why can’t we just watch them leave, so we should send them back to their hometown as soon as possible.”
There is a serious shortage of supplies. It has to be said that it is a good way to divert the attention of the soldiers by fighting. Maybe a victory will change the minds of these supplementary soldiers. Tangcheng is naturally in favor of sending out an attack to kill this group of Japanese soldiers who are even worse than their own.
, with Tang Cheng’s hint, Hou San and the others naturally agreed. They did not know that the rice field brigade had discovered a Burmese village in Tang Cheng. After they had a hasty meal, they followed the guidance of the straggler Japanese soldier and headed towards the depression where the rice field brigade was hiding.
go ahead.
The Japanese soldier who was captured by Tang Cheng was named Oda Hikaru. He was an unlucky missing soldier. It was the smell of Tang Cheng and their cooking that lured this guy to find him without mercy, but he didn’t want to be discovered by Tang Cheng and captured alive. Now he only has
Oda Hikaru, who wanted to return to his hometown alive, answered all of Tang Cheng's questions. As long as Tang Cheng could give him food and let him leave alive, Oda Hikaru even swore that he could kill Captain Inada Hei with his own hands. If it hadn't been for this
Inada Bie, the more than 400 people in his group who left the Liedo River alive will not only have 200 people left, and Oda Hikaru's biological brother died in the woods.
"I don't need you to kill, as long as you lead us well. If you want revenge, I might give you a chance to take revenge after I catch your captain." Tang Cheng promised, which made the skinny Oda Hikaru very grateful.
, if Hou San and Liu Shitou hadn't stopped him, Oda Guang was going to show his allegiance to Tangcheng with a broken finger. The straight-line distance between the rice field brigade and Tangcheng was only two or three kilometers, but the mud on the ground made Tangcheng feel uncomfortable.
They suffered a lot, and the scouts led by Yanlong were also very tired.
Everything has its good and bad aspects. The mud on the ground seriously consumed Tangcheng and his team's physical strength, but also slowed down the progress of the rice field brigade. Originally, they thought they were not far from the Burmese village, but they had already run out of food.
It took the soldiers of the rice field brigade, who had been tortured with only bones left, half an hour to walk less than a mile away. At this speed, it would take them at least three or four hours to reach the Burmese village.
time.
From time to time, soldiers would fall down in the already shapeless queue. Some soldiers who fell could stand up again and continue to move forward with the help of their companions, but some fallen soldiers had completely lost their voice. They were also trembling all over.
Inada Bingwei turned around and looked at his gray-faced soldiers. He couldn't help but feel sad in his heart. He recalled that when the Inada Brigade was transferred to the Burma war zone, all of his soldiers were strong and strong, with rosy faces. But who would have thought that
The rice field brigade has become like this.
"Sir, we found a straggler Japanese soldier. Zhao Liang has already asked. He said that this group of Japanese soldiers found a Burmese village not far to the east. These Japanese soldiers were led by their captain to massacre the village.
." The Yanlong who came forward brought back a Japanese soldier who was about to expire. Oda Hikaru followed Tang Cheng's instructions and asked him carefully, and was sure that the result of Zhao Liang's inquiry was correct.
