Chapter 44: Heading North
Seeing that he couldn't move Tang Cheng, Hou San went to find the dice again, and a few of them took turns to come to Tang Cheng to talk nonsense, but Tang Cheng had already made up his mind to stare at Mike's reply, Hou San and they couldn't resist Tang Cheng, so they had to give up and leave. Before the battlefield was cleared, a Japanese reconnaissance plane appeared in the sky, and it may have been the smoke wafting over the camp that attracted the attention of the Japanese reconnaissance plane.
Naturally, this Japanese reconnaissance plane did not have a lot of fuel and came here to wander around, and Tang Cheng, who had already organized his soldiers to hide on the spot, did not know that this Japanese reconnaissance plane in the sky was coming at them. When Tang Cheng bombarded the camp with mortars, a radio station in the camp was in contact with the Japanese headquarters in Magao, and suddenly the radio signal of the communication station was lost, and the Japanese military headquarters stationed in Magao sent a reconnaissance plane to check the reason.
The smoke that had not yet dissipated in the air attracted the attention of the pilot of the reconnaissance plane, and although the corpses of the Japanese soldiers on the ground had been cleaned up, the chaotic camp everywhere could not hide from the eyes of the pilot of the reconnaissance plane. "Shoot down the little devil plane of the dog day to Lao Tzu" The Japanese reconnaissance plane hovering in the air only then dropped a little altitude, and a rough shout sounded on the ground, and Tang Cheng didn't even need to listen carefully to know that it was the sound of dice.
No matter how powerful a rifle is, it can't beat the plane flying in the air, and ten people know this, but the sieve says that the firing is not a rifle or a carbine, but three light and heavy machine guns that have just been captured in this camp. The Japanese reconnaissance planes circling down obviously did not expect that there would be strong firepower on the ground that threatened them, and they wanted to take a closer look, so they lowered the nose of the plane and lowered the height of the reconnaissance plane again.
But it was clear that the outsiders in the camp were not very welcoming to it. "Da Da The soldiers in the camp who had been fanned by the dice did not seem to want to let it go, and almost all the guns in the camp were firing, shooting at the Japanese reconnaissance planes whizzing through the air.
The bullets ejected from the machine gun were like long dragons of fire, winding and raging in the air, and the swishing bullets left several holes in the wings one after another, and the bullets clanged on the armor plate under the cockpit of the reconnaissance plane, and the frightened pilot only felt that the plane was shaken, and the engine on the right side of the reconnaissance plane snorted twice. Fortunately, the reconnaissance plane was still able to fly without the engine on one side, and the Japanese pilot, whose face had changed, drove the reconnaissance plane dragging black smoke with great difficulty and fled for his life.
"Fuck, this guy is so lucky, so many of us didn't beat it down!" The dice standing on their waists in the camp looked up at the Japanese reconnaissance plane that had fled with black smoke in the air, and scolded. He originally thought that the salvo of three light and heavy machine guns should be able to knock down that nasty thing in the sky, but who would have thought that he still let it slip away, if it weren't for the fact that Tang Cheng was not far from him, the dice would have to teach those machine gunners a lesson.
"Alright, that's good, Dogday's wings have been broken, maybe he'll have to fall off halfway!" Hou Sanshou put up a pergola and squinted at the distant plane, turned around and joked about the dice that were a little disappointed. Tang Cheng also looked up at the Japanese reconnaissance plane that had gone away, and he also had a faint disappointment in his heart like the dice, but he didn't expect the Japanese reconnaissance plane to resist the beating so well.
"Don't look at it, beckon the brothers to move quickly, if we don't shoot down that reconnaissance plane, maybe a large number of devils will come to surround us, and we will get out of here quickly." The soldiers in the camp were still talking about the shooting just now, and subconsciously looked at their watches, and Tang Cheng decided to leave here immediately. Seeing that Tang Cheng had already given the order, the soldiers who were chatting nonsense finally quickened their movements, and ten minutes later, Tang Cheng, who had a large amount of loot, retreated into the forest, leaving only this camp that was still filled with smoke.
"Look, I'll just say it, once the little devil knows that we have taken down this communication camp of theirs, he will definitely pursue and retaliate." The roar of airplanes was heard in the air again, and Tang Cheng and the others, who had already retreated into the jungle, looked up in unison while hiding themselves, this time it was three Japanese fighters and two bombers.
The fighters circled the empty camp twice, then changed bombers and dived down into the camp, one bomber dropped the bomb and flew away, followed by another bomber bombing the camp. The already empty camp was completely submerged in flames and smoke, the rumbling explosion shook the camp, the mountains on three sides seemed to tremble, and the sound of the explosion was heard, even Tang Cheng, who had retreated into the jungle, heard it clearly.
"Keep going, don't stop, if the Japanese army goes to that camp to check and finds that they are all the corpses of Japanese soldiers, they will definitely send troops to chase them. We must leave here as far as possible while we are not yet exposed, otherwise it will be difficult to say when the little devil catches up. The plane left and completely disappeared from everyone's sight, Tang Cheng got up and urged the soldiers to speed up, no one dared to refute Tang Cheng's order, so he had to speed up according to Tang Cheng's order.
Hou San squeezed his eyes with a smile at Tang Cheng, "It's okay now, don't wait for Chief Mike's reply, I think it's safer for us to go all the way north and back to the column, anyway, this has already entered the forest, and the road to the north is much more comfortable than us hiding everywhere." "Tang Cheng can't take care of reasoning with Hou San, but what Hou San said is not unreasonable, instead of being chased by the Japanese army in the jungle and hiding everywhere, it is better to go north and return to Ledo.
In the first battle of the Japanese army's communications camp, Wushan and the others had given up their spears and replaced them with the Japanese army's 38 rifles, but they refused the clothes that Tang Cheng found for them, and continued to be naked and with both feet. With the help of Wu Shan, the Burmese natives who grew up in the jungle of the Savage Mountains since childhood, Tang Cheng and his party went all the way north, and soon left the Japanese army communications camp far away from the already full of flames and smoke.
"Alright, let's head north and return to Ledo." The current situation is somewhat unfavorable for them in Tangcheng, if they continue to wander around Ma Gao, they will not be able to avoid the encirclement and suppression of the Japanese army. Tang Cheng thought about it for a while, and finally ordered to go north and return to Leduo to resume his life, so as not to let his lone army be surrounded and eaten by the Japanese army. Without considering whether there was enough food to eat or whether the ammunition was enough, Tang Cheng only sent a radio station to Leduo once, and then ordered the radio station to silently move the army north.
"Baga, the people of China who were killed, I must catch you, and then chop you up and feed you to the wolves in the mountains." Ichiro Aoki, who received the report from the reconnaissance plane, was furious and was ordered to garrison Magao, which was the first time that his troops had suffered such heavy casualties. At the beginning, I thought that the communication camp was easy to defend and difficult to attack, so I didn't send more troops, but now I think about it, I was careless, if it weren't for this, the communication camp would not have been so easily broken by the Chinese army.
"Order, Sagawa Squadron and Nakajima Squadron will intercept the Shina Army that has gone north to attack the communication camp, and they must be wiped out in the jungle to pay for the lives of the imperial warriors who are shattered by the communication camp." Ichiro Aoki slammed his fist on the table with his right hand, knocking the teacup on the table crooked. The two squadrons of Sagawa and Nakajima were both subordinate to Aoki Ichiro's field wing, and these two squadrons were originally sent by Aoki Ichiro to guard the Indo-Burmese border, and now they were used to intercept them in Tangcheng, who had already gone north.
The dead have fallen asleep, and those who are still alive need more courage to face the next battle and danger, and to go north again, Tangcheng They still have to go through countless mountains and countless hardships and obstacles, but these can't stop them. Tang Cheng, who agreed to go north, did not know that there were already Japanese troops assembled on the way, and were waiting for his team to crash into their encirclement, at this time Tang Cheng was still entangled in the trouble of not going to the Japanese army's communication station, anyway, in the end, they were going north, it was better to leave the red soil slope and go north directly to return to Liedo, the province wasted these few days.
Tang Cheng's more than 300 people lined up in a two-person horizontal line through the jungle, and with Wu Shan and their Burmese natives as guides and scouts to open the way, Tang Cheng was finally able to withdraw the dice and rock dragon to rest. Walking in the jungle with thick rotten leaves like springs is a pleasure for them in Wushan, but for them in Tangcheng, which has a weight of more than 15 kilograms, it is a very exhausting thing. They carried weapons and ammunition and countless provisions, as well as some trophies they had captured from the Japanese communications camp.
Tang Cheng never thought that human beings would be so small in front of nature. Seeing Wu Shan, they found a vine and cut it with a knife to get clear drinking water, and Tang Cheng couldn't help but admire the miracle of the Creator. What made Tang Cheng even more amazing was that Wushan and they used several common weeds in the jungle to rub together to extract the juice, and then smeared this mixed juice on the bare skin, which was a good insect repellent.
Because of Wushan's storage, Tang Cheng saved a lot of time to find food and explore the way, and the speed of their march was much faster, and when they stopped to camp and rest at night, Tang Cheng found that it only took them half a day to walk out of the previous journey through the jungle that took a whole day. Sitting around the campfire eating cooked snake meat, Tang Cheng squinted at Hou San and the others beside him, "Now you know the benefits of keeping these Burmese, with them, we don't have to worry about food anymore." ”
