Seeing the wooden bridge across the Lieduo River again, Tang Cheng felt mixed emotions. When he left here more than a month ago, he was followed by a total of 400 soldiers equipped with American weapons. But now, following him back to Lieduo
There were less than 300 people, and a dozen of them were wounded lying on stretchers. More than a hundred people who did not come back have stayed in the mountains and forests of northern Myanmar forever. This is something I did not have when I left Ledo.
Thought-of.
"Form the team, cross the river." Not far from the Liedo River, Tang Cheng subconsciously tidied up his shabby military uniforms that were full of sweat odor and stains. Hou San and the others who followed him also restrained their soldiers to tidy up.
Military appearance. Although they suffered more than 100 casualties, Tangcheng and the others killed far more Japanese soldiers in the mountains and forests than they lost. Tangcheng did not want the guys in Lieduo Town to think that they had lost the battle.
Only then was he forced to withdraw.
More than 200 people lined up in a neat formation and marched towards Lieduohe. The originally somewhat scattered pace gradually became orderly. After walking only a few dozen meters away, the footsteps of more than 200 people had already stepped on a point, guarding Lieduomu.
Several sentries on the bridge looked over from a distance, their faces full of surprise. "Squad leader, these are our people too? Why don't I look like our brothers from the 114th Regiment?" a recruit in the machine gun bunker at the bridgehead whispered.
He asked the veteran squad leader who had already stood up beside him. The latter did not speak, but looked at the group of people walking towards the wooden bridge from a distance.
Judging from the military uniforms, these were definitely his own people, but the dozens of suppression teams sent out by the 114th Regiment all had people he knew. The team that appeared in front of him obviously didn't look like they were from the 114th Regiment, but he had never heard of it.
Are there other teams sent across the river? Like the recruits under his command, the veteran squad leader who had already stood up was a little confused. He couldn't figure out the identities of Tang Cheng and the others. Tang Cheng, who was walking at the front, had already seen the bridgehead.
Sentries, even though wooden horse and machine gun forts were placed at the bridgehead, Tang Cheng had no intention of giving orders to stop the advance.
"Which unit are you from?" Finally seeing Tang Cheng's appearance clearly, the veteran squad leader was surprised at Tang Cheng's age, but still walked out of the fortress and shouted towards Tang Cheng. The veteran squad leader is a veteran who has been in the army for 7 years.
Although there was no rank mark on Tang Cheng's military uniform, he could tell at a glance that this strangely young boy should be the commander of this team. Although he didn't know what the official title of Jiu Jin was, he was a guard member.
The sentry at the bridge should ask for the identity of the other party.
Tang Cheng didn't say anything, but when he was a few meters away from the boss squad leader, he suddenly raised his fisted right hand. The neatly arranged team stopped when they saw Tang Cheng's gesture. George, who was mixed in the team, was pushed by Hou San.
Seeing that the foreigner with a big nose came out, the boss squad leader knew that these people must be his own, but Tang Cheng had not yet revealed his identity, but as a sentinel, he could not retreat even one step.
Being able to return to Ledo alive was like experiencing a dream and a nightmare for George. When he walked out of the woods earlier, George had already knelt down and thanked God. He saw that he was crossing the wooden bridge.
After entering the queue, he was stopped by someone. The anger in George's heart burst out instantly. "This is my ID, but do you understand English? It's better if I translate it for you."
George didn't want to embarrass these guys who were obviously sentries, but when they were suddenly stopped, George would feel uncomfortable if he didn't torment them.
Tang Cheng pretended not to see what George said or did. He just wanted to enter Lieduo quickly and find Mike. He had used friendly radio stations to contact Mike several times, but Tang Cheng had never been able to contact Mike.
If something happened to Mike, Tang Cheng knew that he and the people behind him would be reorganized by other expeditionary forces. Tang Cheng wanted to kill the Japanese, but he didn’t want to get involved with other troops. When he was in Xiaojieling, if it weren’t for someone in the army,
The Second Company, which wanted to rectify itself and restore its organizational structure, would not have so many people die in Xiaojie Ridge.
I don’t know how George negotiated with the sentry at the bridge. The wooden horses had been moved away, but no one came to check or ask about the troop numbers and identities of Tang Cheng and others. After passing the wooden bridge, everyone’s faces were filled with confusion.
They showed joy and finally came back alive. Although this is also a foreign country, everyone left from here and entered Savage Mountain. After passing the bridge and then walking along the riverbank where Tangcheng led everyone to fight the Japanese army, the procession has become a bit unfamiliar.
Duozhen finally appeared in everyone's sight.
Compared with when Tangcheng and the others left, Lieduo's appearance has completely changed now. The streets that were originally full of broken soldiers seemed even more chaotic. The streets that were not very wide were now filled with rampaging jeeps and people with disdainful faces.
Soldiers. These soldiers who looked at Tangcheng and the others sideways were also wearing American military uniforms and had American firearms on their shoulders. The only difference was that their military uniforms were very neat and the military shoes on their feet were polished black and shiny. But Tangcheng and the others were
But the rags and rags looked very decadent.
"Since when did there be a tavern in Lieduo?" Seeing that there were several more taverns on the main street, George immediately became energetic. If he hadn't seen Tang Cheng's cold face, he would have wanted to get into one of the taverns and have a drink.
Fan. Ignoring the soldiers looking at him on both sides of the street, Tang Cheng led the team behind him straight towards the hospital. Tang Cheng could ignore the soldiers on both sides of the street, but the grumpy Dice could not.
He couldn't ignore these guys who were pointing at him. If Hou San hadn't pulled tight, the dice would have started to play with them.
Liedo was not a very big town to begin with, but because the expeditionary force regarded it as an outpost to advance into northern Myanmar, Liedo became lively. More than 200 unidentified people suddenly appeared in a small town.
Soldiers, some thoughtful people in the town soon learned the news, and the people who secretly looked at and watched Tang Cheng and them hid more and more. They were not far from the hospital, but Tang Cheng and others had to move slower.
They came down because there were so many people watching them that the street was almost blocked.
"Crack" Dice finally couldn't help but pull the bolt of the gun. Others who couldn't stand being pointed at all the way raised their guns. Before Tangcheng could react, the idlers blocking the street in front immediately
After the birds and beasts were scattered, no one dared to argue with the more than 200 murderous madmen who had already raised their guns. Tang Cheng was stunned for a moment when he was about to stop him, and then continued to walk forward. He knew in his heart that Dice and the others were
He was making a show but not actually shooting. Since the people blocking the road had dispersed, as the commander, he didn't have to scold his men for this.
The people who were being targeted dispersed and retreated. There were a few guys in military uniforms who were still shouting reluctantly. They were frightened to death by Wu Shan's arrow and they didn't dare to boo in secret any more. "Bah, I
I thought these newcomers were so capable, but they are all weaklings." Dice put away his gun and spat on the ground nonchalantly, his eyes full of disdain and contempt.
Dice's provocative shouting did not trigger a counterattack from the soldiers. On the contrary, the other side did not dare to look at Dice and the others, and even pointed their fingers. This was a huge disappointment to Dice, who was bent on looking for trouble. "You guys wait here.
, Third brother, look at them, George and Glasses come in with me." After giving Dice a hard look, Tang Cheng gave instructions in a low voice, then led George and Tan Fei into the hospital gate.
Tangcheng led people to fight the Japanese army in Lieduo for three days, and then led troops across the river to clear out the Japanese troops outside Lieduo. During this period, all the wounded were sent to the hospital for treatment, and Tangcheng also forcibly requisitioned the hospital's vehicles for transportation.
Ammunition, so Tang Cheng took George and Tan Fei with them, and they were recognized as soon as they entered the hospital. "God, Tang, I didn't expect to see you here." The director of the hospital was still the same one at that time.
The big-nosed old man, when he learned that Tang Cheng had come to visit him again, he quickly came out and gave Tang Cheng a hug with a smile on his face.
After just chatting with the director for a few words, Tang Cheng asked about Mike. After passing the courtyard next to the hospital just now, Tang Cheng discovered that the sign outside the hospital gate had been removed, and that courtyard now belonged to the 114th Regiment of the 38th Division.
"Are you asking Colonel Mike?" The old dean paused for a moment, and then called the three people from Tangcheng to go to his office to talk. "I don't know what happened to Mike. A few days ago, from Lambgar
Suddenly someone came and not only took Mike back to Ramgarh, but even the supplementary soldiers in your training camp were transferred back to Ramgarh. Until now, the training camp is still deserted."
The words of the old dean made Tang Cheng's heart suddenly freeze. It seemed that there was really something wrong with Mike. However, when he learned from the old dean that the people who came to recall Mike were all US military officers, Tang Cheng's heart finally dropped.
Since they are all members of the family, Mike will not be outeded by his compatriots. However, Mike has been recalled to Ramgar. What will he and his more than 200 people do?
Perhaps seeing the embarrassment on Tang Cheng's face, the old dean smiled and said, "I have a radio station here. You can contact Mike. I think Mike will not be driven to the United States. As long as you can contact Mike, I think there will be a chance.
The way to solve the trouble. If that doesn't work, you can still go to the British troops in Lieduo. In the worst case, you can rest in Lieduo first. Without you, Lieduo would have been occupied by the Japanese Luobutou. The British would not
Forgetting friends.”
The words of the old dean reminded Tangcheng that, yes, there are still British troops stationed here in Lieduo, and he can still go to the British troops for help. As long as Wallace is still in Lieduo, people like him will not live on the streets.
Let's stay here for a while and rest, and the rest of the things can be sorted out slowly.
