The light popped up in the sky above the position, which meant that the Japanese shooters on the opposite side were able to hide in the dark and hunt the target wantonly, and how could a moving figure be found outside the national army position? A few minutes ago, Tang Cheng, who was crawling on the ground, could only huddle in a ball to make himself look more like a nest of bushes, and now he was sitting in a fortification, although the fortifications were rudimentary, it was better than staying in the field.

Just after a bloody and brutal melee battle, the field around the fortifications was now full of corpses, and the people who were still alive were also sitting next to Tang Cheng and gasping for breath, this was already the second Japanese outlying fortifications they had eliminated after dark. Tang Cheng, who was anxious to return to the county seat, selected 14 people from the surviving soldiers of the 1st Company, and walked not far along the north mountain to the county seat, they encountered the first Japanese fortifications under construction.

This is the second Japanese fortification they have encountered, and fortunately Kuroko and those people are born night owls, otherwise they would not have found this fortification in the dark night. The two soldiers who were wounded again were all killed here, and they also killed 7 Japanese soldiers in the fortifications, and captured a lot of bullets, a grenadier and 20 Japanese grenades. Closer to the county seat, the sparse gunfire gradually became clearer, and the flares that rose from time to time also allowed Tang Cheng to see the situation on the battlefield clearly, and saw that the positions on the outskirts of the county had not been lost, and Tang Cheng, who was anxious, was relieved.

"Let's not go into the city, according to the original plan, let's go to the flank to find the little devil's artillery position, and then find a way to defeat it." After doing it quietly for a while, Tang Cheng made a bold decision. Several wrong decisions made in succession at the Beishan checkpoint made Tang Cheng doubt his command ability, but these people who followed him back to the county seat were obviously not the ones who took the idea, and the last idea had to be taken by himself, and the 1st company had already been beaten like this, Tang Cheng didn't know what else he couldn't reluctant.

"What" you want to find the artillery positions of the little devils? Do you want to end it? Do you know how many of us are left? "Sun He, who has always been on Tang Cheng's side, questioned Tang Cheng's decision for the first time." The gunners we heard earlier definitely had the movement of the Japanese 75 mountain artillery, and that kind of mountain artillery could hit several miles away, and it was really harder for you to find it in the middle of the night than to climb to the sky. What's more, the little devils must have arranged troop defense on the periphery of their artillery positions, and even a dozen of us don't even have a chance to stuff people's teeth, so what are you going to do to hit other people's artillery positions? ”

Tang Cheng also knew that Sun He was not deliberately targeting himself, so he just smiled and didn't care very much, "It's because the Japanese army will set up defensive troops outside their artillery positions that they didn't expect that we would sneak attack their artillery positions, which is called surprise to cover up their unpreparedness." Sun He didn't have time to listen to Tang Cheng talk about the ancient times here, in his opinion, Tang Cheng was undoubtedly sending more than a dozen of them into the tiger's mouth, and he, the platoon commander, had to stop it.

No matter how Tang Cheng explained, Sun He just didn't agree with them to sneak attack the Japanese artillery position at night, Tang Cheng couldn't persuade Sun He to agree with him, but Sun He couldn't persuade Tang Cheng to give up the sneak attack on the Japanese artillery position, and the remaining 10 people who had already cleaned the battlefield didn't make a sound, just looked at Tang Cheng and Sun He in the confrontation. "There are only 12 of us, the Japanese army has surrounded the county seat, we can't go back to the county directly anyway, it's better to gamble, maybe we can win."

Although Sun He did not agree with his plan, Tang Cheng was still making his last efforts to persuade him, Tang Cheng was no stranger to night raids, and he believed that Sun He, who had fought in the Battle of Nanjing, was also no stranger, Tang Cheng didn't want to see such a good opportunity being wasted by Lang in vain. Sun He was reluctant at first, but he couldn't stand Tang Cheng's persuasion, and thinking about it left and right, Tang Cheng was right, they couldn't go back to the county seat for the time being, if they didn't go to find the Japanese artillery position, what they could do was to return to Beishan or become deserters.

"Okay, it's a death left and right, Lao Tzu didn't want to be a deserter, so he simply threw his life in Mengcheng." Sun He, who escaped from Nanjing, held his breath all the time, just to avenge the robes who died in Nanjing, which is why he agreed to Liu Shangot's solicitation to stay in the Mengcheng garrison. Taking the grenade handed by the soldier next to him, Sun He got up and stood up and put the two grenades into the pocket of his military uniform, Sun He's almost gesture made Tang Cheng smile, and he finally convinced this stubborn guy.

Tang Cheng and they didn't know where the Japanese artillery positions were, Tang Cheng and Sun He were both infantry, they just knew the principle of shelling, but they couldn't deduce the distance and direction of the Japanese artillery positions from the artillery they heard, so they had to look for and search a little bit close to the periphery of the Japanese encirclement. Searching at night is not a good job, at least no one in the national army will want to attack at night, but they have no choice now, unless they are willing to become deserters again.

"Lao Liu, you are a local, you go ahead and lead the way." Tang Cheng pulled out his shell gun and wanted to walk in the first position, but was pulled by Sun He and came last. "You're a company commander, don't rush to the front in everything." Sun He in the night nodded at the two people who walked in the front, in the national army, the vanguard is generally a novice, and the veteran is never like this, not only because they are afraid of death, but the most important thing is that the veteran can fight and should not be consumed in such small things.

Away from the battlefield full of bloody killings, Tang Cheng and his party took advantage of the night to walk in the field outside the city, and Tang Cheng, who was walking last, looked at the 11 guys in front of him a little helplessly. Look at the guys in front of them, tall and tall, thin and thin, short and short, and fat and fat, they don't look like they are here to fight at all, but like those short-term workers and wheat customers that Tang Cheng saw in the countryside when he was a child.

With a mind full of cranky thoughts, Tang Cheng, who was at the back of the walk, followed them into a forest of miscellaneous trees, which did not have straight trunks but long fangs and claws. The woods at night seemed to be a big labyrinth, except for the creaking sound of feet stepping on the branches of fallen leaves, Tang Cheng's ears seemed to have only the strange sound of the wind. After following Lao Liu for a long distance, Tang Cheng and the others finally stopped, because a pile of bonfires and a few Japanese soldiers gathered around the bonfire appeared in their sight.

After carefully lying on his stomach in the miscellaneous forest and observing for a while, Tang Cheng and Sun He slowly retreated, this should only be a peripheral warning point of the Japanese army, and there was no Japanese artillery position as Tang Cheng expected, so he planned to give up attacking here, so as not to attract the attention of the Japanese army. Just as they were about to turn around and leave, a soldier walking in the middle of the team accidentally stepped on a dead branch that was not too thin, and the sound of the broken branch was like a thunderclap in the silent night, and they all squatted down.

"Let's go, let's get out of here." Tang Cheng, who didn't dare to come out of the atmosphere, subconsciously turned his head to look at the bonfire outside the woods, and the Japanese soldiers gathered around the bonfire had already stood up and were looking into the woods at this time, and Tang Cheng also saw them holding up the rifles in their hands. Lao Liu, who received the order, was the first to run, followed by Tang Cheng and them, and the movement of more than a dozen people running in the woods was not small, and Tang Cheng's rashness attracted the attention of the Japanese army and guns.

"Pap" "Pap" "Pap" The bullets fired from the chamber of the Japanese guns flew into the woods, and Tang Cheng, who had already run dizzy, had to bend their waists to make their figures look smaller, at least this would make their chances of being shot smaller. With the help of the cover of the trees, Tang Cheng and his party were spared, but Lao Liu, who led the way, had lost his way, and he could no longer tell where they were now.

"Keep walking, go in the opposite direction of the gunfire, at least we won't run into Japanese soldiers." The people in front had already stopped, but Tang Cheng, who was following behind, didn't give them a chance to stop, and almost pushed them on. Under Tang Cheng's forced persecution, Lao Liu led them forward again, and the miscellaneous trees along the way became more and more scarce, until an open field appeared in their sight, and Tang Cheng ordered to stop advancing.

The open field outside the woodland was pitch black, and Tang Cheng couldn't see anything abnormal, but he didn't plan to get out of the woodland right away, because he always felt that this open land was strange. Gesturing to everyone to step back, Tang Cheng taught Lao Liu to his side, and asked in a low voice, "Lao Liu, you are a local, tell me what kind of terrain is outside?" "Tang Cheng has been to this miscellaneous forest outside the city, but he has never walked too deep, Lao Liu is a local, Tang Cheng guessed that he should know the terrain here.

Tang Cheng pinned his hopes on Lao Liu, but unfortunately the answer he got was not ideal, because Lao Liu had never been here, he only knew the general range, but he was not familiar with the terrain here. "Okay, let's just know now that this direction is the direction of Bengbu, that is, the direction in which the Japanese army appeared." Before Tang Cheng's words were finished, Sun He, who was beside him, reached out and covered his mouth.

There was a sound not far from Tang Cheng, and the reflection of the bayonet in the hazy moonlight appeared more than ten meters away, and the people under Tang Cheng were all around, and the figure that appeared now should be the Japanese soldiers chasing after him. Tang Cheng, who was covered by Sun He, gestured, motioned for everyone to squat down to hide his figure, and motioned for Sun He to let go of the hand covering him, and then pulled out the shell gun on his waist with an extremely slow movement.
