This is a dense forest, full of tall trees common in the south. There are also many green bamboos dotted in the middle. You can occasionally see a few bamboo shoots, quietly hidden in the bamboo bushes, waiting to be dug away.
Or grow old slowly.
Under a big tree, Tang Yao was resting against the tree.
He is now wearing a military uniform, but it is in tatters. It is covered with gunpowder smoke and holes. It seems that he has gone through a lot of fighting to become so tattered.
His face looked very haggard. His face that was originally a bit rich has now become thinner, even a bit scary. His cheekbones are high and his eye sockets are sunken deeply, which is really a bit scary.
It was very quiet in the jungle. Not far from him, the men who followed him were leaning or sitting, closing their eyes and resting.
Surrounding these people was the secret service camp that had come to protect him. There were now less than 300 people out of the original 500, and half of them fell on the way.
Along the way, the fighting seemed to have never stopped. After crossing the Yangtze River, we entered the war zone between the two sides. Japs, bandits, and returning regiments appeared one after another. National soldiers also often appeared, and battles broke out one after another.
In the first battle in Jiangbei, the secret service battalion encountered a Japanese brigade. The two sides fought fiercely from the evening to noon the next day. In the end, the Japanese army suffered heavy losses and had to withdraw from the battle.
Although the battle was victorious, more than seventy soldiers from the secret service battalion also fell on this hot land, interpreting the responsibility of a soldier with their lives and blood.
Defending the homeland and protecting our mountains and rivers is sometimes not just a slogan, but also forged by the fresh lives and blood of each individual. Today, we are not qualified to question their contributions to this country and this nation.
,never!!!
From then on, the battle continued. Perhaps because of the loss at the hands of the spy camp, the Japanese troops swarmed in and launched a crazy attack on the spy camp. When the situation was at its most serious, the team was even surrounded by two brigades.
In the midst of it, there was a strong attitude of beating a mouse with a stick.
That battle was also the most serious one since Jiangbei. The secret service battalion relied on a small hill to resist for three days and three nights. All the ammunition was exhausted. Finally, they fought hand-to-hand and repelled more than forty Japanese charges.
Just when they were running out of ammunition and food, fortunately, a regular army appeared and launched a fierce attack on the Japanese army from the outside, thus creating a gap for Tang Yao and the others.
Taking advantage of this fleeting gap in the encirclement, Tang Yao commanded his team to fight hard and finally succeeded in breaking out of the Japanese encirclement. Then he marched all the way and finally got rid of the Japanese pursuit.
Tang Yao was very grateful to this team, but after rescuing them, the team disappeared. He only remembered that this team was called Jiangbei Detachment.
Tang Yao understood that this was the army over there, and only these people who were familiar with the terrain here could skillfully lead the Japs in circles in the jungle, and use various terrains and objects to attack the Japs until they were exhausted.
Had to go back.
In the face of a national crisis, all the people who love this country have united, shared the same hatred, and fought bloody battles together. This is something that makes people feel excited just thinking about it.
Tang Yao felt that this trip was worth it.
"Why hasn't the one named Li Yang shown up yet?" Tang Yao was lying under the tree, thinking with his eyes closed. He estimated the time and found that Li Yang should have appeared long ago.
After walking on the edge of life and death several times, Tang Yao found that he no longer cared so much about life and death. Even if Li Yang stood in front of him now, he could face it calmly.
Even if the other party raises a gun, he will kill him.
There was a rustling sound in the jungle, which made the soldiers of the special agent battalion in charge of security become nervous. They clenched their weapons and looked warily towards the place where the sound came from.
"Who?" the sentry whispered in the distance.
A voice came back, "Why are you making such a fuss? It's me."
As soon as the sentry heard the sound, he knew who was back. He relaxed and whispered, "It turns out to be the battalion commander."
Chang Ming emerged from the bushes with two soldiers from the special agent battalion and strode towards Tang Yao. As he walked, he looked to the left and right. When he saw that everything was normal, he felt relieved.
Along the way, we encountered too many things, not only the devils, but also some people who were very capable of taking advantage of the fire. They used sap, tricked white wolves, poisoned and set traps, and used all kinds of methods. There were several soldiers
They all died unjustly and unjustly.
So compared to the devils who use their swords and guns openly, Chang Ming hates these guys who stab in the back even more.
Tang Yao also heard Chang Ming's voice under the tree. He slowly opened his eyes, looked towards Chang Ming, and then said, "Captain Chang, how is the situation?"
Chang Ming sat down next to him, stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat from his head, then took off the water bottle from his waist, unscrewed the lid and poured it into his mouth, and then he took a deep breath, "Huh, really
Cool."
"I led people forward and walked out for about two miles. I found that the front was full of Japanese troops. There were as few as a small team and as many as a regiment. It seemed that this was a Japanese-occupied area."
In the war zone, the forces of both sides are intertwined and entangled with each other. However, in different areas, those who have control are different. For example, in some places, the regular army has the advantage, and the suppressed Japanese are suffocated; while in other places,
It's different. The Japs are very strong there, so the regular army can only act like the guerrillas, fighting guerrillas everywhere.
All this is an area of chaos to a certain extent.
Hearing Chang Ming say that there were so many Japanese soldiers ahead, Tang Yao couldn't help but frown. He knew that the road ahead would be difficult.
After thinking for a while, he raised his head and asked a subordinate next to him, "How far is it from the nearest national army-occupied area?"
The subordinate took out the map, then lowered his head to check it. After a while, he raised his head and replied, "Director, it's about fourteen or five kilometers."
"Fortunately, it's not too far." Tang Yao breathed a sigh of relief, but the second half of the man's sentence almost choked him to death.
"But there are two Japanese regiments and a cavalry unit in between." This sentence made Tang Yao's heart freeze.
There are two regiments and a cavalry team. With such strength, not to mention their remnant army, even when the secret service battalion first crossed the river, it was no match.
Before they fought against the Japanese, they didn't know how powerful the Japanese were. After fighting with the Japanese every day these days, they truly realized how powerful the enemy was.
Whether it is marksmanship, technical tactics, or psychological quality, the Japanese infantry are excellent and worthy of being the most powerful army in Asia during World War II.
Tang Yao and Chang Ming had ugly expressions when they heard that there were two Japanese regiments standing side by side. They knew that the chance of rushing over to join that army was too low.
By now, the spy battalion was exhausted and exhausted. If we were to forcefully charge through the defense lines set up by the two regiments of Japanese soldiers, the chance of defeat would be over 80%.
The atmosphere in the jungle was a bit solemn. The two of them were staring at the map, thinking about ways to solve the current predicament.
The last time they passed through the defense area of the New 11th Division, Commander Jiang replenished some ammunition for them, which made them have more ammunition now, and the supplies were also replenished, so the team could still support it for a while.
But if we can't break out of the enemy's encirclement as soon as possible, then the team will still be exhausted in the end and will be dead.
Tang Yao was not afraid of death, but he didn't want these outstanding soldiers to die with him, so now he wanted to survive and take these soldiers out alive.
To achieve this goal, he must fight his way out of the Japanese siege.
His eyes were scanning the map inch by inch. Chang Ming was extremely anxious, because during the investigation just now, he found that the Japanese troops seemed to be mobilizing. As a result, the place where he was now was no longer safe. The Japanese might appear at any time.
force.
Therefore, the action route must be determined as soon as possible, otherwise once the Japanese discover them, the team will be passive.
At this time, Tang Yao suddenly spoke and said, "Captain Chang, do you think we can go here?"
Chang Ming looked at where his finger was pointing and found that the place he had chosen was a group of lakes more than ten kilometers ahead on the right. There were more than thirty lakes, large and small, and the terrain was very complex.
Chang Ming thought for a moment, then shook his head, "I'm afraid not. It's full of swamps and we're not familiar with the terrain. If we walk in hastily, we might not be able to get through but it will cause casualties."
If the terrain hadn't been very complicated, the Japanese wouldn't have left such a large area without troops stationed there, just because they felt there was no need to station troops there.
The two of them stopped talking and continued to look for a suitable route.
At this time, suddenly a sentry shouted from the front, "Who?"
Bang——, a gunshot was heard, and the sentry squatting on the branch of the tree fell down and fell to the ground motionless.
Devil, devil!
Chang Ming and Tang Yao stood up in confusion. They heard the sound of Sanba Gai and immediately realized that the Japanese were coming.
Pulling out the pistol from his waist, Chang Ming shouted, "Get ready to fight."
When the soldiers who were resting under the tree heard the sound of gunshots, they all stood up and picked up the guns beside them. They each chose a hiding place and got ready for battle.
At this time, there were noisy footsteps in the jungle, and occasionally there were a few Japanese sounds like ghostly cries and wolf howls from the Japanese, who were quickly approaching here.
Chang Ming and Tang Yao were crouching behind a tree, holding guns in their hands while staring closely at the jungle opposite.
As the branches swayed, the devil emerged from the bushes, and then someone jumped out.
Chang Ming yelled, then raised his pistol, "Hit me!"
Click, click, click, gunshots suddenly rang out, and bullets flew towards the Japanese soldiers on the opposite side like raindrops.
