The endless lake is filled with lush aquatic plants. Among the lush aquatic plants, you can see patches of dark green water.
Although there is a lot of water in the lakes here, it is not living water, but a pool of stagnant water. Therefore, the water surface here looks like a piece of crystal that is not clear, showing turbidity and filth.
But here is a paradise for some water creatures, such as water snakes, some mosquitoes, and even some crocodiles have made their homes here, dominating an area here and becoming the overlord.
In addition to crocodiles, the most powerful thing in this lake is a very scary large mosquito. This mosquito is black and white in color, no smaller than those dragonflies, and its venom is also very strong, as long as you are not careful.
If you are bitten, you will be unconscious.
The remaining troops led by Tang Yao and Chang Ming had entered the lake area at this time. They were out of ammunition and food, and suffered from many injuries. They were so serious that they even needed help to walk.
Chang Ming's one arm was also hung up by a bandage. He held Browning in his other hand and directed the team to run towards the swamp, while he stood at the back of the team.
Tang Yao and his men hurried over. Seeing that Chang Ming was injured and still insisted on cutting off the rear, he became anxious and shouted angrily, "Captain Chang, take the people away quickly. I will cut off the rear." As he spoke, he turned towards him.
Go forward.
Chang Ming stretched out his hand to stop him, and then said, "Commissioner Tang, don't forget, I am the one responsible for carrying out the protection mission this time, not you."
"So what?" Tang Yao also stopped, turned to stare at Chang Ming,|then smiled, "Anyway, the highest military officer of this team is me, not you."
Chang Ming was stunned for a moment, then he took a step forward, and then suddenly struck Tang Yao in the neck. Tang Yao was caught off guard and couldn't dodge for a moment and fell to the ground.
"What are you doing?" The agents around Tang Yao were shocked, and they all reached out to touch their guns.
Chang Ming shouted to them, "Take Commissioner Tang and leave here quickly. I will be responsible for breaking up the rear."
The agents finally understood that Chang Ming was doing this for Tang Yao, so they stopped drawing their guns, picked up Tang Yao who was unconscious on the ground, and ran towards the distance.
Chang Ming led some soldiers to stay where they were. They quickly hid in a forest, and then pointed their guns in the direction of the Japs behind them.
It was not long before Chang Ming and others heard the noise and footsteps of the Japanese, who seemed to be arriving quickly.
Chang Ming reached out and pulled the firing pin of the pistol, then Chang Ming raised his hand and aimed the gun at the Japanese who appeared in front of people.
The Japanese didn't seem to notice at all. They were still searching carefully outside the lake, heading towards the swamp little by little.
When the Japs had advanced about thirty or forty meters, Browning's unique gunshots resounded through the forest, and bullets that had been ready for firing roared out and headed straight for the Japs on the opposite side.
Ah——, because they were unprepared, several of those Japs were knocked down, and the rest quickly fell down, making Chang Ming and the others lose the goal of continuing their attack.
Seeing that the Japs were being beaten and started to dodge, Chang Ming waved his hand and shouted, "Get out quickly, the Japs are about to counterattack."
Before he finished speaking, behind Chang Ming, who was the last to leave, explosions broke out in the dense woods, shrapnel flew across the forest, and shells fired by the Japanese grenade troops covered the woodland.
In addition to Chang Ming, there were four or five soldiers who also escaped alive from the Japanese shelling. These people gathered around Chang Ming, waiting for Chang Ming's instructions.
"Did Cui San and the others protect Commissioner Tang into the swamp?" Chang Ming frowned and asked the people around him.
The person in question nodded hurriedly and said, "Battalion Commander, according to the time calculation, they should have entered the swamp." | "Okay, in that case, then everyone, follow me and stop the Japanese troops here.
Buy more time for Cui San and the others to leave." Chang Ming breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. This was the result he wanted most.
The Japanese never imagined that one of his officers' hometown was near this lake, so the chances of his leadership passing through this lake and swamp were greatly increased.
Now that it was basically certain that the person he wanted to protect had entered the lake, Chang Ming was relieved. While he directed the soldiers to build fortifications on the spot, he began to plan a plan to intercept and escape.
Staying to stop the attack does not mean that he will stay and die. Chang Ming doesn't want to be so heroic yet. He feels that the future general may have his own share!
After thinking about this, under Chang Ming's bewitchment, the four or five soldiers were as if they had been given blood. Each one of them looked very good, as if they were not facing Japanese devils who were many times more ferocious than them, but just a group of soldiers.
Chirping like an old hen waiting to be slaughtered.
The Japs arrived soon, and the two sides started a fierce battle here. Chang Ming and the four or five soldiers took advantage of the terrain and successfully stopped the Japs there, unable to move forward for a while.
Outside the swamp, in an area with not particularly complex terrain, Japanese soldiers dressed in horse dung yellow and soldiers in Kuomintang uniforms were fighting in a bloody battle. From time to time, someone was shot and fell down. The scene was very tragic.
If Chang Ming were here, he would find that this team was his subordinate Cui San who led the way to protect Tang Yao and the others who broke out of the encirclement. Unexpectedly, they were surrounded by the Japanese as soon as they successfully walked out of the swamp.
Now there are less than a hundred people left in this team, including twelve or thirteen men led by Tang Yao, and the remaining fifty or sixty are members of Chang Ming's spy battalion.
Because the encounter with the Japanese was so sudden, the spy battalion barely had time to deploy, let alone react in time and retreat. Therefore, it was quickly overtaken by the Japanese who were preparing to attack on the opposite side, and was surrounded by Japanese soldiers from other directions.
This team.
The roaring mortar shells, the Japanese soldiers who were shouting to fight, and the roaring machine guns all showed that the Japanese seemed to have no intention of catching people alive this time.
With the intention of killing everything.
This put more pressure on Tang Yao and the others, because it meant that the Japanese would not have the slightest scruple about attacking them, and the methods they used would naturally be several times more intense.
As the battle continued, Tang Yao and his group of about a hundred people had already suffered one-third casualties, and the remaining people were compressed onto a small slope and could be wiped out by the Japanese at any time.
People were all red-eyed. They didn't care about their own safety at all. They only had one thought in their hearts, which was to kill all the Japs in front of them. Every extra one would make a profit.
The battle was unprecedentedly fierce. The Japanese launched several charges, but they were beaten back and many people were injured. However, Tang Yao and the others added several more wounded. Even Tang Yao's thigh was penetrated by bullets.
Temporarily lost the ability to move.
"Cui San!"
Tang Yao leaned on a big tree, panting heavily, and shouted to the officer under Chang Ming that it was a break in the fighting. The Japanese had just retreated, and there were still trees ignited by shells on the position.
And those swaying corpses.
Seeing Tang Yao calling him, Cui San hurried over and said, "Commissioner Tang, what's going on?"
Tang Yao couldn't help but gasp, and blood was pouring out from the place where the bullet had penetrated. The severe pain made his face a little distorted, and he looked a little ferocious.
"Cui San, you led the way well." Tang Yao laughed, and then seemed to have touched the wound. He couldn't help but sucked in a breath of cold air, "Grandma, this really hurts." | Cui San was beaten by Tang Yao
Having said this, I felt that I had made a big mistake this time, and couldn't help but lower my head, "Commissioner Tangte, it was my fault that I brought you into this desperate situation. You can scold me or hit me." He now said
The person I feel most sorry for is the battalion commander. He entrusted such an important task to himself, but he actually messed up the matter.
Hearing what Cui San said, Tang Yao laughed loudly, endured the severe pain and stretched out his hand to pat him on the shoulder, and then said, "Captain Cui, I'm kidding you. The look on your face now makes me feel like I owe you something."
Several million."
The millions he mentioned were of course legal tender. At that time, legal tender was relatively solid, and a few million was already considered a relatively large amount of wealth.
Cui San was stunned for a moment, then he understood. He straightened his body and said in the loudest voice, "Commissioner Tang, Cui San's life will be yours from now on."
Tang Yao stretched out his hand and leaned on the trees beside him to stand up, straightened his chest, and said proudly, "Your life is not mine, nor anyone else's. Your life belongs to this country, and to the thousands of people who have died."
Comrades."
"I have made mistakes of this kind in the past. Now I am standing here with you, facing the Japanese encirclement and suppression together. This is my luck."
"No matter what happened in the past and how serious crimes you have committed, at this moment you are a hero and a worthy hero."
Including Cui San, all the surviving personnel straightened their chests, their eyes flashed with a fire called confidence and pride, and their breathing became rapid.
Tang Yao leaned against the big tree, then reached out and took off the pistol hanging from his waist, then waved it violently and shouted, "Defend my mountains and rivers with my blood."
"With my blood, I will protect our country!" Everyone clenched their fists and shouted with all their strength.
At this time, the Japs at the foot of the hillside had finished resting and started a new round of attack. This time the Japs deployed twice as many troops as last time. The hillside was full of Jaap soldiers dressed in horse dung yellow.
"kill!"
Tang Yao yelled with all his strength, and then he was the first to raise the gun in his hand.
Behind him, soldiers one after another raised their weapons and pointed at the Japanese soldiers who were rushing up.
--kill--!
