Chapter 63: Preparation

A wild boar can eat a few meals, if someone asks such a question, it is absolutely impossible to answer it in the former Tang City, but now the Tang City enterprises mixed in the jungle will tell the person who asks this question, a 300 pound of wild boar is only enough for 34 people to barely have a full meal, and the next meal is at most a wild vegetable soup boiled with leftover pork bones mixed with wild vegetables. Tang Cheng believed that if the fat man was here, this wild boar would be able to eat for at least a few days, but Tang Cheng was a big man, so such a wild boar was eaten in Tang Cheng's hands.

After drinking the wild vegetable soup boiled with pork bones, according to Tang Cheng's arrangement, Hou San and several of his scouts who came out of the front wanted to take Li Fu to find the routs scattered around. He had already left the camp, and Li Fu was still muttering about the full meal he ate yesterday, especially the wild boar meat roasted by dice, which was the most delicious thing in the world. Li Fu's chatter made Hou San and the others shake their heads and look sideways from time to time, thinking only about finding the rout as soon as possible, and then trying their best to get rid of this guy who was broken by a full meal.

"Do you want to go back to your home country? Then follow us, we have weapons and ammunition, as well as food to fill our stomachs, look at our weapons, these are all captured by killing little devils, follow us and don't suffer. Like a farmer looking for chickens and ducks that had not yet returned home on a rainy day, Hou San wandered around the forest for a while, finding out the routed soldiers who had to hide in the forest because they had escaped the pursuit of the Japanese army.

I don't know if Hou San and the others described these routs too well, or if these routs didn't recognize that Li Fu had dug wild vegetables with them yesterday, and the few rout soldiers found by Hou San would rather continue to hide in the forest and play as savages than be fooled by Li Fu and them out of the woods. They all know that fighting will kill people, especially the Japanese-style weapons that Hou San and they are carrying in their hands are even more frightening to these routs, who knows that these guys will not force the brothers of other national armies to be eye-catching cannon fodder in order to capture these Japanese weapons.

"Count the ball, I don't think it's possible, it's a big deal to hit that mountain pass by yourself, these people have been scared out of their courage, even if they drag them alive to our side, I estimate that the chief will be unhappy when he sees it." found several groups of routs hiding in the woods one after another, Ren Li Fu's mouth was dry, and none of these routs could stand up and follow Hou San and them. Hou Shangna immediately blackened his face, refused the request of these defeated soldiers to ask him for food, and returned to the camp with Li Fu and them early.

"Forget it, if you really can't find someone, then let's fight it ourselves, and when the time comes, Lao Tzu will definitely not let go of these greedy guys who are afraid of life and death and just want to hide behind and pick up cheap guys to cross that mountain pass." Seeing that Tang Cheng kept his head down and didn't speak, Hou San, who had already returned to the camp, wondered if Tang Cheng was angry, but when Tang Cheng turned his face, Hou San clearly saw the smile on Tang Cheng's face. There are many people and many people to play, and when there are fewer people, there are naturally few tactics, so after Tang Cheng knew that there was no hope for reinforcements, he decided to hide nearby during the day, and wait until it was dark at night to attack the Japanese troops stationed in the mountain pass in front of him.

"Sir, no, the little devil has that kind of small smashing cannon over there, and two light machine guns, our firepower can't compare to them." As soon as he heard that Tang Cheng had decided to attack the Japanese position in the mountain pass at night, Li Fu immediately panicked, and was busy trying to persuade Tang Cheng to change his mind, even if he took the same path more, and did not come face to face with those Japanese soldiers who were scary to see.

"Let me ask you, are the Japanese soldiers human? Do they need to sleep? The Japanese army on the mountain pass is definitely no less than 100 people, and the comparison with our current number is only one to three, as long as we plan properly, how do you know that we can't take the mountain pass? The hundreds of corpses of the national army that he saw in the forest a few days ago still gave Tang Cheng a deep shock, and besides, Tang Cheng had never been afraid of two words in his dictionary, otherwise when he went south, he would not have agreed to the guerrillas disguised as Japanese soldiers and infiltrated the Japanese army's military station.

Hou San and the others knew the temperament of their own officials, and immediately dragged Li Fu into the grass shed built to rest, and when it was night, they couldn't sleep again. At nightfall, Tang Cheng and the others who were sleeping were woken up by the military doctor and two female soldiers one by one, poured a belly of fried rice and wild vegetable soup with soup and water, and carefully checked everyone's weapons and equipment, Tang Cheng ordered all the personnel participating in the night attack to set off. Just like the previous meeting, the military doctor and the two female soldiers were still arranged by Tang Cheng to walk at the end of the line, if it weren't for the possible wounded, Tang Cheng would never allow these three burdens to come out before the night.

After the full meal, their minds were dazed, and everyone followed Houshang and Yanlong to walk one foot high and one foot low, over the mountain, and over the ridge, and finally slowly approached the mountain pass that did not want to be remembered by Li Fu. There was no rushing water in this canyon, but the grass was so moist and soft that when you stepped on it, you would like to fall down and sleep on it. At night, the fog still rose, and the hazy moonlight penetrated the fog layer, giving people a sense that it was difficult to distinguish between the real and the virtual. Everyone was tired, walking in the thick fog in the second half of the night, although the footsteps were neat, but they sounded very light, helpless and lonely. As the rat approached the mountain pass, a stream appeared next to it, and the rushing water completely drowned out the footsteps of the people.

The leaves and branches shook gently in the night wind, and the dew on the leaves fell down in large pieces, wetting the already soaked people. It's just that this doesn't stimulate the nerves of the awake and dazed minds, and everyone can only continue to walk forward exhausted. Because of the fog, visibility is quite poor in such terrain. The person who followed behind was a little slower and could not see the shadow of the rock dragon walking in front, and sometimes he walked in a hurry, or he was careless and stumbled forward, but he would touch the shoulder and back of the person in front of him.

Near the pass was an open field, and in the middle of it was a stream in the grass, which had helped to drown out the footsteps of the people. They quietly waded across the river, and then crossed a field into a large bush, and the people who had been dizzy were finally a little excited, because it was said that the mountain pass guarded by Japanese soldiers was more than 100 meters in front of them. For this night attack, Tang Cheng only brought all the people who could still fight with guns, and their extra equipment and supplies were still left in the temporary camp, that is to say, Tang Cheng and they had to completely annihilate the Japanese troops on the mountain pass, otherwise they would not have the opportunity to go back to get the supplies left.

Tang Cheng is already very familiar with the topographic map around the mountain pass, with Li Fu and Hou San and others describing them one by one, and Tang Cheng even built a very simple small sand table. The actual terrain will naturally be more comprehensive than Li Fu said, and from the on-the-spot observation of Tang City, this mountain pass is indeed an easy to defend and difficult to attack terrain.

Of course, Tang Cheng was not an impulsive person, and when he decided to attack the Japanese army at night at Yamaguchi, Tang Cheng already had a comprehensive plan in his heart. The night attack did not necessarily have to start in the middle of the night, Tang Cheng just used the night to cover his men as close as possible to the Japanese soldiers who were away from the mountain pass position, and Tang Cheng had already set the time to start the raid after dawn. After staying in northern Myanmar for more than a month, Tang Cheng has roughly grasped the time when the sky is shining here, and dawn is undoubtedly the time when a person's vigilance is the lowest, and the Japanese soldiers are also people, so they are naturally not excluded.

One of the main reasons why Tang Cheng set the time for the raid after dawn was also because of the dice, and his sniper rifle that could be pointed within 300 meters was not effective at night. Following the pre-planned steps, after the gesture in Tang City, everyone began to split up. The dice who served as long-range shooters went up the hillside on the side of the stream, while Hou San and the Yanlong brothers slowly sneaked in the direction of the mountain pass, their task was to find the Japanese outposts and deal with them before starting the operation, and the rest of Tang Cheng and the others scattered and quickly followed Hou San and them, this wave of people was the most critical commando in the whole operation.

In order to avoid alarming the Japanese troops stationed in the mountain pass, everyone's actions were very careful and very slow, and as time passed, Hou San and Yanlong brothers, who were biting bayonets in their mouths, had already touched the outer edge of the Japanese position, and Tangcheng and their brigade were only 30 meters behind Hou San. The distance of 30 meters was enough for Tang Cheng and them to throw a grenade into the Japanese position, but it was still dark night, and in such a bad sight, Hou San and they could not confirm whether this simple trench was the outer edge of the Japanese position.

As the clock ticked, the hands of the watch slowly pointed to 4 a.m., and in another half an hour at most, it was about to dawn, and everyone had to hurry, and now the nerves of all of them had been stimulated by exhaustion. Tang Cheng was fortunate enough to ask everyone to wrap their elbows and knees with torn military uniforms before leaving, otherwise just crawling forward for more than 100 meters would have been able to wear out their elbows and knees, although that kind of injury was not fatal, but at least it would affect their performance when they were in battle.

Everyone lay on the ground like corpses and did not move, but before receiving the order to fire, everyone lay silently, motionless, and continued to wait. There are also trees here in the mountain passes, and in northern Myanmar, as long as there are a few places, mosquitoes, leeches and so on, but fortunately, it is not a very hot night, and everyone has smeared Mu Lianshan's homemade snake repellent powder from head to toe. I didn't encounter snakes and insects, but I felt cold, my clothes were wet with dew and I was lying on the wetland, and everyone was dry all the time, and I couldn't help but shiver when the night breeze blew.
