Chapter 64: Two Days and One Night (12)
Tang Cheng, who was wrapped in a cotton coat, curled up and sat with Jiujin, Nian Zi and Jiujin had been taken to the ambulance team by Liu Goat before dinner, Jiujin's back was only a skin trauma, and the coma during the day was caused by being hit on the head by bricks and stones in order to protect Tang Cheng during the explosion. Nine catties are fine, but the mill has to leave Liu Goat and them, his arm is not a simple fracture, but really broken, if it wasn't for the mill in the afternoon, maybe they wouldn't be able to wait for Chang Tianbao to appear.
There is one less of the only four people left in the second company, Tang Cheng began to become as untalkative as the mill, and Liu Goat still ran with a cynical face to mix with the people of the 87th Division, for a veteran soldier like him, it doesn't matter if there is one more person or one less person, anyway, for them, fighting is the dead and the wounded, and then it is killing.
The assault on the main city gate was still ongoing, and Xie Chengrui's soldiers and the troops of the 87th Division were like tireless machines mixed with the Japanese troops entering the city, and the guns rang out non-stop, until nightfall, the visibility of the Japanese machine gunners decreased, and Xie Chengrui, who had the advantage in strength, had a slight upper hand. However, within 500 meters of the main city gate, there were already corpses all over the place, both the national army and the Japanese army, and hundreds of soldiers from both warring sides were lying here.
Qiu Jiangong's departure, Tang Cheng did not react excessively, Mazi's departure, Tang Cheng was also as usual, and Zhou Fu's departure was the same, but Mill Zi had to leave, but Tang Cheng once again experienced the harshness of the war. The wounded soldier of the mill is the right hand, and without the right hand, he loses the ability to continue fighting like Xie Bo, and there will be no such soldiers left in the army, especially at this time, most of the wounded soldiers with intact legs and feet like the mill will be sent to serve as the daredevils who blow up the tank, just like Tang Cheng once did.
The fierce hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese army during the day had completely overdrawn Tang Cheng's physical strength, and his body was full of all kinds of burns, bruises and splash injuries caused by rubble, and when it came to physical fatigue, Tang Cheng was even more serious than nine catties of injuries. Leaning on Jiujin's body, Tang Cheng closed his eyes and took a nap, Jiujin, who had been in a coma for an afternoon, was mentally abnormal at this time, so he temporarily acted as Tang Cheng's human flesh cushion, but the hunger in his belly made Jiujin look extremely sluggish.
There was a loud "boom", and the shock wave generated by the explosion could make people's ears feel painful, and Tang Cheng, who had his eyes closed, suddenly sat up straight, just in time to see Liu Goat coming back from the troops of the 87th Division. Now Tang Cheng is no longer the kind of ordinary person who has to wipe his eyes and wait for his brain to slowly clear up after waking up, he is now a soldier who has fought with the Japanese army many times, even if his body is extremely tired, but when he heard the voice of Liu Goat talking, Tang Cheng still opened his eyes.
"Tsk, you kid is finally awake." Seeing that Tang Cheng had already opened his eyes, Liu Goat, whose expression was still a little dark and numb, smiled in surprise. Breaking the flatbread in his hand into three pieces, Liu Goat took out a few garlic cloves from his pocket, "The people of the 87th Division of the dog day are really picky, and they will give one flatbread, and they will not give pickle gnocchi, so they will give Lao Tzu a few garlic cloves to eat." Liu Goat smiled a little self-deprecatingly, and distributed the garlic clove in his hand to Jiujin and Tang Cheng, and he also stuffed a garlic clove into his mouth and chewed it in a big bite, wiping the tears that were spicy from the garlic cloves while chewing.
Looking at Liu Goat, who seemed to be lying, Tang Cheng, who knew it, temporarily forgave him for the sin of running to the 87th Division to laugh just now, and just nodded lightly, Tang Cheng chewed the hardened flatbread with his already somewhat loose gums. The spicy taste of the garlic cloves in his mouth was not as strong as Liu Goat said, but Tang Cheng still wiped his tears while chewing the garlic cloves like Liu Goat, and hummed in his mouth that the garlic cloves were indeed very spicy. Liu Goat and Tang Cheng wiped their tears as if they were playing dumb riddles, only nine catties I don't know why they are so afraid of spicy, and it seems that this garlic clove is not ruthless, at least he doesn't think so.
After chewing a piece of bread per person, Liu Goat felt more and more hungry, so Liu Goat simply took Tang Cheng and Jiujin to a temporary ambulance station in front of the 87th Division. The temporary ambulance station of the 87th Division is in a large room, and there are still more than 20 wounded here, and only one medical soldier named Han Cheng is taking care of these wounded soldiers, but this is only limited to the lightly wounded, and those who are seriously injured have been sent to the ambulance station in the city. Liu Goat is a self-cooked guy, and he is very familiar with the ambulance mutiny in a few words, and the inside of the house is obviously more comfortable than the outside, so Liu Goat decided to stay here first.
This is the residence of the wealthy in the city, and the owner hid with foreigners in the concession, before he lent the house to the teaching team to stock up on ammunition, and then the troops of the 87th Division came to support it, and then the 87th Division used it as a temporary ambulance station. The kind-hearted owner also left some rice noodles in the house, and the wounded soldiers who couldn't cook boiled the flour and water they found into a pot of paste.
Drinking the hot paste, Tang Cheng almost cursed and sweared, don't these lazy fellows know that it is okay to rub flour into pimple soup, when he was a child and Robert were missionaries in Shandong, they didn't cook that kind of pimple soup made of flour to eat. Liu Goat poured two large bowls of paste into his stomach in one goat, and then he felt a little hot on his body, and while wiping his mouth, he asked the young ambulance soldier next to him where the other people were, and when he came over in the afternoon, there were many people from the 87th Division in the house.
"They have all eaten, and the battalion commander has called them away again, and I am the only one left here." The medical soldier answered Liu Goat's question while gulping down the paste soup, "But the brothers on the firing line haven't come down yet, just cook another pot for them later, as long as you can fill your stomach, we people don't pick our mouths." The thunderous shelling outside the house was intermittent, the gunshots rang out continuously, and the flickering firelight lingered on the ambulance's face, and Liu Goat realized that the ambulance was a hairy boy about the same age as Tang Cheng.
"Okay, we can't eat a meal from your 87th division in vain, since your brothers on the firing line haven't come down yet, then Lao Tzu will run for you and give them a loose cake." Liu Goat wrapped a few flatbreads brought by the ambulance soldiers in a coarse cloth that looked a little cleaner, carefully made a burden and carried it on his shoulders, gave Tang Cheng and Jiujin a look, and then walked outside the house. **, Tang Cheng scolded secretly, reluctantly got up and chased Liu Goat out of the road, Jiujin also put down the bowl and followed behind Tang Cheng, and the three of them just lined up in a straight line.
"People have so much to fill the three of us, why do you still want to take their flatbread?" It was already dark, and Tang Cheng couldn't help but shiver and whispered to Liu Goat in front of him. Liu Goat didn't pay attention to Tang Cheng, just walked in front of him, and as soon as the three of them turned around a pair of ruins, they saw two national soldiers stacked on top of each other on the masonry. It was evident that this was the one who was slightly injured and wanted to climb back from the front line with his brother on his back, but he did not do so, and he could no longer move less than a hundred meters from the big house, and they died here with a wound.
The more they walked forward, the more corpses they encountered in Tang City, most of the wounded soldiers had been transferred to the city, and those who remained here were those seriously wounded who could not be treated at all, in order to save more wounded soldiers who could be cured, these hopeless seriously wounded were left here. The gunfire suddenly became piercing after they turned an intact courtyard wall in Tang City, and the battlefield of the firefight was in front of them, just over 10 meters away from Tang City.
Like them in Tangcheng during the day, there was about a squad of maybe more Nationalist soldiers holding a courtyard, and there should not be many Japanese troops on the opposite side, both sides were firing cold guns, but no one was using grenades. Although the Japanese army had the advantage in marksmanship, they were the ones who were in a hurry to attack, and the soldiers of the national army would not fight hard, they all hid in the shadows and aimed at a certain place where the Japanese army would borrow a bunker, as long as the Japanese soldiers on the opposite side pounced on it, they opened fire.
Liu Goat Sailor motioned to lie down and follow him, and then Liu Goat quickly rushed across the road to the courtyard where the fire was being exchanged. "Follow me, just run forward, don't stop, don't look up." Tang Cheng whispered to the nine catties behind him in a tone like a veteran, in front of the nine catties, Tang Cheng can indeed be called a veteran, but he, a veteran, is only limited to the front of the nine catties, if Liu Goat is here, he will definitely laugh at Tang Cheng is a big man.
"Are the brothers in it from Division 87? I'm from the 88th Division, and your ambulance soldier named Han Cheng asked me to bring you some food. "Liu goat, who was standing against the wall, shouted through the wall, and after getting the reply of the national soldiers inside, Liu goat took off the revenge on his shoulder and threw it through the wall." Do you know now that I'm lying to them? Liu Goat looked at Tang Cheng with a smile, but the latter just replied with a roll of his eyes.
"I can't sleep anyway, why don't we fight here for a while?" Liu Goat's eyes were full of longing when he looked at Tang Cheng, as if in Liu Goat's mouth, fighting with the Japanese army was as simple as eating and drinking, and it was as simple and easy as what needed to be done every day. Tang Cheng raised the 38 rifle he was carrying in his hand angrily, all their belongings were brought, and now it is not too late to say that it is too late to go back, the purpose of Liu Goat coming out is to fight with the Japanese army, at the beginning Tang Cheng knew that he would not have brought this 38 rifle captured from the Japanese army.
