Chapter 45: The Road Ahead is Difficult

"Boom-boom-boom" The grenades fired by the Japanese army with grenadiers continued to rain down from the hill on the left, and the explosion sounded loudly. I saw that the smoke of gunpowder was filled with mud and rocks, and the broken guns and bloody stumps rose into the air, scattering in all directions, and the world seemed to be about to be destroyed, and the sound of a huge explosion drowned out a qiē. Wu Shan's dozen Burmese natives were missing four in only one round, and Tang Cheng saw Wu Shan, who was already in a panic, huddled in a bloody puddle with his clan men and shivered.

"Boom" Under Hou Sansheng's hoarse reprimand, the sappers on Tangcheng's side finally shot out a Bazooka rocket, all of which dragged the rockets with long tail flames and flew not as far as Tang Cheng imagined, only flying diagonally for dozens of meters and falling into a bush to explode a fireball, but the fire was mixed with a few fragments of the Japanese army's earthy yellow uniform. "Fire, fire, the Japanese machine guns are dumb." Taking advantage of this opportunity, Tang Cheng pulled the trigger again and again, and three bullets whistled away, burrowing into the grass nest that he had been aiming at.

The Japanese soldier hiding in the bushes let out a painful "vomit", threw his gun aside, fell backwards into the sky, and fell into the grass. Killed a Japanese soldier, Tang Cheng, who was lying on his stomach, was ready to get up, he had to take advantage of the gunfire of the soldiers around him, and quickly rushed up, only by occupying the advantageous terrain, they could once again defeat this group of Japanese troops who intercepted him. Tang Cheng got up and quickly opened fire on the Japanese soldier on the left, and before he had time to see if the other party had been shot, Tang Cheng had already run up quickly.

With a sound of "chirp", Tang Cheng, who was running forward, only felt that a bullet flew past his body, and Tang Cheng, who was in shock, hurriedly rushed forward and fell to the ground. The bullet came from his right side, and Tang Cheng, who had fallen into the grass, raised his gun and fired, but the Japanese soldier on the right was also very high, and the two of them fired at each other almost at the same time. The bullets of the carbine in Tang Cheng's hand rained down on the stones and grass and bushes beside the Japanese soldier, and the opponent's bolt-action rifle was really not Tang Cheng's opponent, and with a scream, the Japanese soldier who was shot in the chest fell out of the stone where he was hiding.

After killing the Japanese soldier who was shooting at him, Tang Cheng almost rushed behind the boulder where the Japanese soldier was hiding just now, and now, he was finally able to catch his breath. The ground was still trembling, and the Japanese bombardment with grenadiers continued to extend to his right front, and the enemy became more and more fierce. Tang Cheng, who had taken a breath a little, made a general judgment of the situation in front of him, Hou San and they should all be within twenty meters of him, if they can deal with the grenadiers of the Japanese army, they may be able to get out of trouble.

The Japanese army's condescending machine-gun fire began to extend downward, suppressing Hou San, who was not far from Tangcheng, and they couldn't even launch the loaded Bazooka rockets. Tang Cheng, who was hiding behind the big rock, began to check the ammunition on his body, so it was not a way to be suppressed by the Japanese condescendingly, and Tang Cheng, who was forced to be helpless, could only go around and finish off the Japanese grenadier position in person when he couldn't contact Tan Fei's team for a long time.

There was still one grenade left, and there were not many bullets in the carbine, at most more than 20 rounds, Tang Cheng didn't know if these ammunition were enough to knock out the opponent's grenadier position, but as long as there was the slightest chance, he had to give it a try. Changed the full magazine of the carbine in his hand, and Tang Cheng, who was behind the boulder, gestured to Hou San, who was suppressed by the opponent's firepower, and the continuous explosion sound on the hill drowned out a qiē, and there was obviously no movement around him, and the sign language was obviously stronger than shouting at the top of his voice.

Suddenly, heavy gunfire rang out on the hill occupied by the Japanese, mixed with the explosion of grenades and rockets. Tang Cheng, who was already preparing to kill alone, couldn't help but be overjoyed, he knew that it was Tan Fei's team that launched, and it must have been Tan Fei's team that had made a detour from the flanks to start attacking from the side. The battle on the hill seemed to be extremely fierce, and the sound of gunfire was like countless firecrackers being set off at the same time, and the noise was inexorable. The gunfire became louder and louder, and the intertwined positions suddenly became boiling, and there were gunshots everywhere.

It's chaotic now, and you can't be so slow, you have to hurry up. Hou San, who had also already reflected, hurriedly ordered Bazooka to fire, and two rockets flew upwards with tail flames, and with two explosions, the soldiers who had been suppressed by the strong fire of the Japanese army immediately got up and charged upwards like a tide. "Spread out, spread out, don't huddle together." Tang Cheng rushed out of the boulder where he was hiding, and while reminding the soldiers to follow, he moved towards the mountain.

Tang Cheng, who was holding the carbine, strode forward with a cannonball, and it was not until he encountered the fire of the Japanese machine gun again that Tang Cheng stopped and bowed down. Hou San, who was not slow, was lying behind a naturally formed grave-like small earthen bag, which had once been a Japanese machine-gun position, but had been destroyed by rockets, and the surface of the small earthen bag was covered with burned grass and scattered machine gun parts.

Hou San was looking for the location of the Japanese machine guns, and a string of machine gun bullets flew next to the mountain bag, and Hou San suspected that the next machine gun position of the Japanese army was on the hill on the left. Just as the soldier carrying Bazooka was about to fire a rocket, a bullet entered his steel helmet, flew out along the inner wall of the steel helmet, grazed his shoulder, and burrowed into the thigh of Hou San next to him. One bullet killed and one wounded, but Hou San immediately ordered the soldiers to fire at the Japanese machine-gun positions in order to cover the launch of the rockets.

"Boom" With the explosion of the rocket, the Japanese machine gun was dumb at once, and then in the shouting of Hou San, the other soldiers continued to attack upward. Tang Cheng didn't have time to pay attention to Hou San, who was injured in the thigh, Tan Fei dragged the opponent's grenadiers, and Tang Cheng, who was running hard, had already circled to the top of the mountain. The mountain was full of newly dug foxholes by the Japanese army, but Tangcheng, which had already rushed to the top of the mountain, did not find the enemy. From here, the narrow ridge gradually descends and then rises again to form the next commanding height.

Tang Cheng rushed through this position, which was no longer a Japanese army, and ran to the next commanding height, Tang Cheng just ran a few steps, he saw the enemy situation on the other side of the ridge line on the top of the mountain, and found that 20 meters in front of him, there were three Japanese soldiers sitting by a light machine gun on guard. For some reason, the Japanese machine-gun position did not fire, and they didn't think about it so much, Tang Cheng immediately threw his last grenade at them. The explosion of the grenade blew up the light machine gun, and Tang Cheng, who had already fallen down, raised his body again to peep at the enemy, and one of the three Japanese soldiers guarding the light machine gun died instantly, and the remaining two also lay on their sides in the blood puddle and screamed.

Tang Cheng rushed over and snapped two shots to deal with the two wounded Japanese soldiers who were not dead, and then squatted down and began to rummage through the corpses for grenades, the light machine guns that were blown up by the grenades were no longer usable, but fortunately, Tang Cheng found four grenades on the bodies of the three Japanese soldiers. After solving this Japanese machine-gun position, Tang Cheng returned to the ridge line on the top of the hill and looked down the mountain where the gunfire did not stop.

"Da Da" Tang Cheng finally found Tan Fei's figure, in the face of a large number of semi-automatic weapons counterattack, the Japanese army's grenadier position failed to hold in the end. Breaking through the Japanese grenadier position, Tan Fei led his soldiers to Hou San's side, Tan Fei's brain was obviously better than Hou San's, and Tan Fei's team, which concentrated more than a dozen submachine guns to take the lead, broke through more than 30 meters away in just a few breaths.

The Japanese army, which could not withstand the blow of the rain of bullets, began to retreat, and Tangcheng, who was left alone on the ridge line, did not intercept the retreating Japanese army, but only turned his attention to the Japanese troops who were entangled by Hou San. There were about 30 Japanese soldiers who were fighting with Hou San and them, and the two sides who had been mixed together seemed to have forgotten to use their finger weapons to kill the enemy, but hugged each other, punched and kicked and even opened their mouths to bite each other, Tang Cheng on the ridge line just wanted to laugh when he saw it, this was not a war, but it was like a group of women splashing on the street.

Tan Fei, who had the advantage, divided half of his men to continue to pursue the frightened Japanese army, while the rest of the people rushed down the mountain, and in just one round, they put down all the more than 30 Japanese soldiers who were mixed with Hou San and them. As the gunfire came, the hillside was filled with shouts and screams, mixed with a few cries. Tang Cheng let go of the carbine in his hand, took out a cigarette and sat on the stone on the ridgeline, the hillside was full of corpses, there were the corpses of Tang Cheng's soldiers, and there were also the corpses of Japanese soldiers, but most of these corpses were Japanese earthy yellow uniforms.

Maybe it was a big victory, Tang Cheng had even heard Hou San laughing, but Tang Cheng couldn't laugh. Leaving the Japanese communication station and entering the jungle, this was the third time that the Japanese army intercepted it, although each time it ended the battle with their victory in Tang City, but his original team of more than 300 people had been sharply reduced to less than 300 people. The already skinny and bony medic and the two other ambulances tried their best to save only a few wounded soldiers, most of whom died in the woods.

The soldiers who were accustomed to death began to clean up the battlefield, and they never looked for Hou San, who had not seen Tang Cheng, only then did they find that Tang Cheng was sitting on the ridge line on the top of the mountain, seeing that Tang Cheng's face was not good, Hou San, who knew it, none of them dared to come to Tang Cheng here at this time. Wu Shan's cry was the loudest, this battle made his tribe lose 6 men, the original dozen indigenous men are now only 5 including Wu Shan himself, if such an encounter comes a few times, maybe even Wu Shan himself will die in this forest.
