Xinpingyang was originally just a very ordinary place in the Savage Mountains. It turned out that there were only a few local Burmese indigenous villages scattered here. After the Japanese army came, Xinpingyang was built into a fortress. Not only were there many more Japanese troops, but also
There are more Burmese people who support the Japanese army. The British were once the rulers of this land, but the greedy British failed to bring a happy life to Burma. Therefore, after the Japanese army entered Burma, they had long been suppressed by the British.
Burma, which was going crazy, seemed to have found its backbone. They chose the Japanese army with the same yellow skin as their support object.
Tangcheng and the others stopped at a place only half a day away from Xinpingyang. The contact between Mike and Stilwell did not go very smoothly. Stilwell was full of apologies in the message, but in fact he did not express any regrets to his immediate subordinates.
Even the favorable rhetoric. According to Stilwell, the 38th Division strongly requested to wait for the rainy season before launching the offensive on Xinpingyang. This means that Tangcheng and the others need to hibernate in northern Myanmar for the entire rainy season. During this period, they are completely
A lone army.
Things had become like this and could not be reversed. Mike turned to the next best thing and asked Stilwell not to interrupt the airdrop support to the direct company. Stilwell did not refuse, but everyone knew that it was the rainy season, and it was impossible for the flight team not to consider the pilots and
The safety of the plane. "Damn, I know I can't trust these big noses. If I had known this would happen, we should have asked George to find a bigger plane and send us all back to Kunming. Who would want to do this?
Hit whoever you want." Regardless of the fact that Mike was still there, Dice immediately began to curse.
Mike's face looked a little ugly, but he didn't stop Dice from yelling and cursing. Tang Cheng glared at Dice, which made the aggrieved Dice shut up. "Okay, no matter what you say, this matter has nothing to do with Mike. This
We are lucky. If we didn't know about this when we got close to Xinpingyang, we might have been bitten by the Japanese army. Let's not talk about those entangled things now, let's think about what we should do first.
Let’s do it.”
After getting together to discuss, Tangcheng and the others found that there was no problem with their weapons and ammunition, but they just ran out of food. The supplies the soldiers carried now were enough to last them in the woods for three days at most. Now is not the time for women to be kind, they will need it soon.
Faced with the danger of running out of food, Tang Cheng could only commit murder, "Didn't the intelligence from the headquarters say that there are many Burmese villages here in Xinpingyang? Let's search separately. If we find it, we will immediately collect food on the spot. As long as we have it in hand,
Once we have the food, the rest will be easy to handle.”
After deciding what to do next in a few words, Tang Cheng personally took Tan Fei and a group of scouts to the direction of Xinpingyang. Although it was not the time to attack Xinpingyang yet, Tang Cheng wanted to see Xinpingyang with his own eyes.
What the hell is the ocean? Only half an hour after leaving Mike and the others, the scouts who were walking more than ten meters in front of Tangcheng discovered a few wooden houses scattered in the sparse woodland in front of them. Tangcheng and the others immediately hid themselves, using the cover of dense vegetation to stay far away.
Observe the movement around those wooden houses.
There were Japanese soldiers in twos and threes around the wooden houses, so Tangcheng judged that these wooden houses were Japanese strongholds. Maybe there was one like this every few miles from here to Xinpingyang. Once attacked, the nearest stronghold would immediately provide reinforcements.
, somewhat similar to the beacon tower used for communication in ancient China. After Tang Cheng recorded the location of the wooden house in detail, he pointed at Tan Fei's side of the wooden house and gestured. Tan Fei understood it, and this meant that he was asked to lead half of the people around.
On the flanks of the wooden houses, my own parents wanted to use these wooden houses as a dirty trick.
Tan Fei and his people slowly moved to the side of the wooden house. It was so close to the wooden house that it could be seen clearly with the naked eye. This was indeed a Japanese stronghold. There was a barbed wire fence outside the wooden house, and a three-wheeled motorcycle was parked in the open space.
, two or three Japanese soldiers were leaning on the sandbags of the heavy machine gun nest and smoking. When he discovered the machine gun position set up by the Japanese army, Tan Fei did not dare to delay, and immediately returned to Tangcheng and told Tangcheng what he saw.
Tangcheng couldn't help but wailed in his heart. The Japanese army had set up entry positions here. It was obvious that just a dozen of them couldn't take down these wooden houses. If they mobilized manpower to attack, they might attract more Japanese troops.
Besides, even if they capture these wooden houses, they may not be able to get the supplies they need. After thinking about it, Tangcheng can only order a retreat. Anyone who touches an egg against a stone is a fool. Tangcheng will not do such a fool.
Egg.
Tangcheng returned to join Mike and the others, and several other search teams sent out had also returned. The situation was the same as what Tangcheng had detected. Although Dice and the others discovered Burmese villages, there were still Japanese troops in those villages.
The search team had no way of starting. Now that the search was over, Mike sat on the ground with a pale face and said nothing. How long can more than 200 people without food last in the jungle? No one knows the answer, but Mike understands the answer.
It's definitely not what I want to know.
"Let's go, get out of here first. As we walk, we think about it. When we walked through the woods to get to Lieduo, we were no better. We are still alive now that we have arrived in Lieduo. I don't believe that a living person can be suffocated to death by urine.
"Tang Cheng is the one who can maintain his composure at all times. Besides, their current situation is much better than when they crossed the jungle. How can more than 200 heavily armed guys really starve to death in the forest?
Tangcheng's answer is naturally impossible.
The soldiers who had been kicked and beaten by Tang Cheng formed a team and were about to leave. Suddenly, Yanlong, who had been silent all this time, squatted down on the spot and made a warning gesture with his left hand. Tang Cheng froze there and saw that he was half squatting.
Yanlong, who had come down, was listening intently to something, and Tang Cheng immediately followed suit by making concealed gestures. Seeing Tang Cheng and Yanlong react like this, everyone else was stunned and then half-crouched down, aiming their guns at the surroundings.
.
Dice and his snipers were already hiding in the long grass, ready to provide fire support at any time. The cooperation of other soldiers had already gone through several jungle fights, and they were already very skilled in their movements, so seeing
They just reacted normally to Tang Cheng's gesture. Yanlong, who looked calm, didn't know why he stopped suddenly. He just felt something strange in the mist on the opposite side, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
It felt strangely comfortable. Through the mist in front of him, Yanlong seemed to hear a sound coming towards him, but he couldn't be sure whether it was a human or a wild animal.
Tang Cheng slowly squatted down next to Yanlong. Like Yanlong, he stared straight ahead without blinking. The carbine in his hand had already been leveled. 2 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes had passed. Tang Cheng
Cheng and Yanlong still had no intention of standing up, and were still half-crouching and listening with bated breath. Without Tang Cheng's order, other soldiers who had already hidden themselves did not dare to reveal their bodies. The more it was like this, the less impatient it was.
The key to hunting is patience, and Tang Cheng, who is also unsure of the situation, plans to wait.
Dice, who was hidden in the long grass, had searched through the sniper scope on the visible place on the opposite side, but found nothing. Perhaps because he had been squatting for too long, a soldier not far from Tangcheng lightly looked at him.
Shaking his body slightly, he accidentally touched the bushes beside him and made a small noise. It was too late for Tangcheng to stop it. At this moment, the extremely subtle sounds in the mist on the opposite side suddenly disappeared. Tangcheng Da
Haijian suddenly turned around and waved his hand, "Fire, fire, there are Japanese troops, there are Japanese troops." Regardless of the danger hidden on the opposite side, Tang Cheng still screamed. Although he lowered his voice, it was still heard in the empty mountain forest.
Went very far.
"Da da da da da da da da da" The submachine gunners immediately pulled the guns and pulled the triggers against the fog in front of them, and dozens of tongues of fire rushed straight towards them. The gunshots in the fog became louder, and the bullets became denser.
Quite a few, they were beaten so much that grass and blades flew in random directions across from Tang Cheng and the others. "Puff", "puff", "puff", the unprepared figures in the mist were immediately knocked down, and blood mist sprayed from the bullet holes on their bodies.
The originally diffuse mist began to turn blood red. "Fire, fire, don't stop." Tang Cheng shouted loudly, raising his carbine and firing continuously at the mist. The soldiers beside him didn't care about the many.
He just recklessly fired at the blood-red mist that appeared.
The sounds of unloading guns and hanging up were heard one after another. After Tangcheng made a gesture to stop shooting, the sound of gunfire gradually came, but everyone still leveled their weapons and did not dare to relax their vigilance. After waiting for a while, they only heard the tragic sound coming from the mist on the opposite side.
Calling for peace, Yanlong then led a few brave soldiers to go over with guns in hand. After a short time, he dragged back a few guys who were still alive. "Doesn't it look like the Japanese army?" Yanlong said.
Although the guys they dragged back were all wearing Japanese military uniforms, "Damn, these are all Burmese." Finally, a guy who was shot in the arm spoke in standard Burmese.
Tangcheng and the others finally figured out the identity of the other party. They were a group of Burmese servants who followed the Japanese army and were like the domestic puppet army. After confirming the identity of this group of people, Yanlong
He pulled out his short knife and pierced the four limbs and joints of the four living Burmese soldiers. This was a method that the US military instructors gave to the scouts, so as to ensure that the prisoners would not escape and to facilitate the questioning of intelligence.
Like the puppet troops in China, these captured Burmese soldiers were not as tough as Tang Cheng imagined. Tan Fei only asked a few questions in blunt Burmese, and the four Burmese soldiers scrambled to tell them what they knew.
Everything was told. The situation seemed to be more serious than what they knew in Tangcheng. The troops deployed by the Japanese army in Xinpingyang were more than just a mixed unit. Just the Japanese troop numbers confessed by these four Burmese soldiers
, no less than the size of two Japanese army brigades.
