Chapter Seventy-Two: Tempting the Enemy
The dice slowly retreated with their sniper rifles, and compared with the squatting rock dragon beside him, who nodded and first squatted down and retreated backwards, and then turned and galloped away when he retreated into the hollow. Just a hundred meters in front of the dice, more than a dozen Japanese soldiers in khaki military uniforms are sitting around eating together, according to the strength of Tangcheng they don't have to care about this Japanese army, but this group of Japanese is not far behind a road, once the fire is fired here, who can guarantee that there will be no more Japanese troops.
After careful consideration, Tang Cheng ignored George's fighting spirit and immediately ordered a retreat to bypass the Japanese soldiers. "Don, as a commander, such evasion of yours would damage the will of these soldiers to fight, and I don't think your decision was right. We have so many soldiers and weapons and ammunition, we should rush up and kill all the dozen Japanese robbheads, instead of retreating and bypassing them. George tried to dissuade Tang Cheng from changing his order, but the others had already followed Hou Sanzai, and no one seemed to heed his opinion.
"Shut up for me, be careful of recruiting Japanese soldiers." Seeing that Tang Cheng didn't pay attention to himself, George's voice subconsciously became louder, but Tang Cheng grabbed his neckline. "These soldiers of mine have been walking in the woods for more than half a month, do you know what they are eating? It's wild vegetables, can you expect the people who live on wild vegetables to defeat the Japanese soldiers who eat canned rice and meat every day? Besides, we're just a few more people than each other. ”
Of course, Tang Cheng couldn't tell George that he was worried about the road behind the Japanese soldiers, in fact, these Japanese soldiers scattered in northern Burma to intercept the rout of the national army were not very well fed, unless they were close to the supply station, otherwise the Japanese soldiers scattered in the forest also had to rely on wild vegetables to survive. Tang Cheng didn't explain to George in as much detail, but a thought suddenly flashed in his mind, and then he took Tan Fei and rushed towards the dice, he wanted to see with his own eyes what those Japanese soldiers were eating.
Lying on his stomach in the grass nest let out by the dice, Tang Cheng saw the dozen or so Japanese soldiers in the binoculars, yes, these guys were sitting around eating together, and Tang Cheng didn't need to look too closely at all, Tang Cheng knew that these Japanese soldiers were eating balls. Although the current distance does not allow Tang Cheng to judge whether the rice balls in the hands of the Japanese soldiers are fresh or not, Tang Cheng has already determined that the rice balls in the hands of these dozen Japanese soldiers are fresh, and even Tang Cheng, who is lying downwind, seems to have smelled the fragrance of rice in the wind.
"George is right, we're going to kill this group of Japanese soldiers." Tang Cheng, who had returned to the assembly area, changed his order, and before George could be happy, Tang Cheng's words later made George wrinkle again. "I estimate that the rice balls in the hands of those Japanese soldiers are fresh, which means that there will be a supply point for the Japanese army near here, otherwise, they will not be able to eat fresh rice balls, find the supply point of the Japanese army, and our rations will be solved."
Tang Cheng's words made the people with deep cheeks come to the spirit, but it made George bitter, it is okay to deal with a dozen Japanese soldiers who have fallen alone, but it is difficult to attack the supply points of the Japanese army. If you think of it, you have to do it, this is Tang Cheng's consistent style, since it has been decided to kill these dozen or so Japanese soldiers who are in the way, all the preparations will revolve around this matter. Tang Cheng and his hands were not allotted much ammunition for Chinese-made weapons, and there were only two magazines left for each of the two Flower machine guns, and less than 20 rounds of ammunition for the seven Mauser rifles.
"What we want this time is speed, so light machine guns and flower machine guns are the focus, don't think about saving bullets for submachine guns, and shoot down the supply points of the Japanese army, I estimate that the ones we captured are absolutely indispensable, and it's a big deal that we will all switch to 38 rifles." Tang Cheng's words made a few guys who used state-made weapons laugh, as long as they could kill people, they wouldn't care what guns and bullets they used.
At this time, Ono and his Imperial soldiers did not know that they were already targeted, they were just a patrol team that carried out daily patrols on the periphery of the supply point, and there were two patrols like theirs in the supply point. Swallowing the food in his mouth, Ono habitually looked at the watch on his wrist, it had only been an hour since his patrol came out, but Ono felt as long as three hours. It's a pity that each patrol team has 4 hours to go out on patrol, and there are more than 2 hours before the handover, and only after the handover does Ono have time to go to the camp ambulance to visit Michiko.
"Senior, it's still early for us to hand over, are you thinking about Sister Michiko again?" A water bottle with the lid unscrewed appeared in front of Ono, and when he turned his head, he saw that it was his little countryman Sasaki who was smiling at him. Took the kettle and took a sip, Ono returned the kettle to Sasaki, I really don't know what those old men in the base camp think, they would actually recruit a guy like Sasaki who is obviously still a child into the army, such a guy should have sat in the academy to go to school.
Ono, who was obviously in a much better mood, smiled and reached out to rub Sasaki's head, this little fellow of his own is the youngest of his subordinates, fortunately in his own class, otherwise Sasaki's bean sprouts body may have been trained into mud by those veterans a long time ago. "Let's go, there's still more than 2 hours, don't let those guys in the camp say we're lazy." Ono was about to get up and beckon his soldiers to continue patrolling, but he saw several veterans sitting opposite him staring blankly behind him.
Ono's reaction was not slow, pulling Sasaki, who didn't know anything, to pounce forward, and when he turned over again, Ono had already held the rifle in his hand, and the bullet was immediately fired. "It's a woman, haha, it's a female soldier." Before Ono could see what was behind him, several veterans sitting cross-legged had already laughed and stood up. A female soldier who flashed out of the grass appeared in a daze more than ten meters away from them, obviously startled by the laughter of the veterans, and the female soldier turned around and jumped back into the grass nest that had just appeared and disappeared.
"Catch up and catch that woman." Seeing that it was a female soldier, Ono was also interested, and immediately commanded his soldiers to chase in the direction where the female soldier disappeared. The main purpose of the Japanese troops entering northern Burma was to encircle the retreating Chinese army, and when they learned that the retreating Chinese army had been divided, the Japanese army immediately began to intercept the scattered Chinese stragglers everywhere. Being able to catch a lone female soldier is a lot of fun for Ono's soldiers, who rarely get close to women.
No one shot, everyone obviously wanted to catch the mouth, at first Ono was very cautious to send sharp soldiers on both wings, but after chasing dozens of meters, even Ono, who was originally cautious, relaxed his vigilance, and the female soldier who fled in front was obviously alone. If this female soldier fled into the forest, Ono was still a little suspicious, but the direction of the female soldier, who was obviously panicked, was towards the open land, and it was not easy to hide people in such terrain.
After throwing away the backpack with wild vegetables and the rifle with only two bullets left, the staggering female soldier ran a little faster, but in the eyes of Ono and his Japanese soldiers, the speed of the female soldier was still not enough. Running all the way until there was no strength, the female soldier seemed to accept her fate and simply stopped running, but pulled out the bayonet that she had not been willing to throw away and put it on her neck, Ono saw this and immediately asked his soldiers to stop, it was useless to catch a dead man, he wanted to live.
This is an open land mixed with mountains and forests, once the dozen or so Japanese soldiers stopped, they involuntarily gathered together, seeing that the Japanese soldiers who were pursuing themselves stopped, the female soldier who held her neck with a bayonet suddenly showed a sneer, and then a short person lay on the grass. "Oops" Ono's heart just flashed these two words, and before he could really react, he only heard a "pop" gunshot, Ono only felt that his eyes were dark, and the whole person fell backwards with the gunshot.
The sound of gunfire from the dice was the signal, and after successfully killing Ono, there were suddenly more than a dozen vigorously lifted turf in the open field, and the muzzles that poked out of the hole in the earth began to spew a rain of bullets. The light machine gun in the hand of the brute bull and the submachine guns of Tang Cheng and Hou San were used as the main firepower, plus more than a dozen rifles fired at the same time, only one round of intensive firing, and the dozen or so Japanese soldiers in the open field were silent, even if one or two Japanese soldiers escaped by luck, they could not avoid the sniper rifles of the dice.
"That's the end of it?" George, who was forced by Tang Cheng to hide in the grass, widened his eyes, it was a dozen Japanese soldiers, he didn't think that the battle would be so easy and it was over, it was as if he was playing a game. When Tang Cheng was forced to dig a hole in the grass, George also complained that Tang Cheng was doing useless work, but now it seems that he was wrong, because he didn't really understand Tang Cheng and the small army he commanded.
The gunfire had stopped, and after receiving a signal from the rock tiger who was on guard in the distance, Tang Cheng ordered the soldiers hiding in the earth cave to show up and clean up the battlefield. Digging holes and ambushes, they have not done such a thing once or twice in Tang City, but fortunately, the soil here is soft, otherwise Tang Cheng would not have been able to dig out more than a dozen soil holes that can hide people in such a short period of time. "Good job" Tang Cheng picked up a rifle and handed it to the female soldier who was acting as a bait, who took the rifle handed by Tang Cheng and ran to his companion who had just flashed out of the grass with a smile.
