The Japanese army could not have given up attacking Ledo on their own initiative just because they had dug a trench on the bank of the river in Tangcheng. Moreover, the Japanese troops who controlled the fort believed that the shelling of the river last night had caused heavy losses to the defenders on the river bank, and when the sky was hazy and bright, the Japanese army was finally about to cross the river, and after two days of preparation, the Japanese army made a lot of rafts for crossing the river. The soldiers who were squatting on the branches of the trees by the river and were in charge of observing the opposite bank blew the bamboo whistles, which were like birdsong, and the sound of the bamboo whistles woke up the sleeping dice and most of the rout.

Tang Cheng, who got up after hearing the news, looked at the other side of the river with a telescope, and couldn't help laughing after just one glance, no one could have imagined that the Japanese army would act like this. Probably in order to paralyze Tangcheng and them, the Japanese troops on the other side actually made more than a dozen regiments of shrubs that could be moved at any time overnight, and the Japanese troops who were about to cross the river retreated behind the bushes. "These little devils have broken heads, right? There are so many shrubs by the river, even a fool knows what's going on, don't they think they can fool us in this way? Hou San also laughed again and again, he didn't expect the Japanese army on the other side of the river to be like this.

"Pass my order, regardless of whether the Japanese troops on the opposite side have crossed the river or not, as long as they have not landed on our side of the riverbank, they are not allowed to shoot." Tang Cheng retracted and handed the order not to shoot casually to one of the routs next to him to convey to the others. Although the half-crossing attack has been recorded in the art of war, it was an example of the cold weapon era, Tang Cheng now lacks heavy firepower weapons, and almost everything that can provide cover on the river bank has long been cleaned up by the routers, so after weighing the pros and cons, Tang Cheng is more inclined to put the Japanese army closer before firing.

The machine gun suddenly came from the side of the wooden bridge, mixed with a few explosions, and the soldiers in the trenches subconsciously wanted to stretch out their heads to look at the wooden bridge, but they were reprimanded by the dice with a few veterans in a low voice, and they were strictly ordered not to expose their positions at will. The Japanese army would attack the wooden bridge was expected by Tang Cheng, regardless of whether the Japanese army would force the river beach or not, they would attack the wooden bridge, and Tang Cheng would probably command those Japanese troops on the other side of the river.

"Don't panic, panic what, the Japanese army is still far away from you." As the gunfire and explosions on the other side of the wooden bridge intensified, some of the routs in the trenches were already in a panic, and Tang Cheng, who had received the report, had no choice but to move in the trenches. "There are dozens of our brothers on the other side of the bridge, and there are three machine guns, and the little devil wants to take the wooden bridge, it is a dream at all, don't forget, the bridge has long been arranged with explosives."

Although Tang Cheng's words did not make those panicked guys completely quiet, but at least let these guys no longer lose their eyes, when they heard Tang Cheng say that explosives had been arranged on the bridge, a few frightened guys who didn't even dare to raise their heads finally recovered some anger, as long as the wooden bridge was not taken by the Japanese army, they still had hope of survival. "Sir, the little devil has come up, and it looks like he's about to cross the river." The herald rushed to find Tang Cheng in a panic.

On the other side of the river, bushes and Japanese troops appeared densely, and the Japanese soldiers hiding behind the bushes lined up in a ridiculous formation, holding wooden rafts for crossing the river in their hands, and they were a group of soldiers who attacked the city in ancient times. Under the command knife waved by an officer, the Japanese soldiers flashed out bushes as cover and rushed towards the river with wooden platoons. Tang Cheng ran in the trenches with his waist bent, and kept shouting in a low voice, "Don't shoot, don't shoot first, listen to my orders, wait for the order to shoot again." "The trenches that have been deepened and widened for a day and a night are now enough for Tang Cheng to run inside.

Probably because they were not intercepted by this side of the river, the Japanese soldiers who flashed out of the bushes put down the wooden rafts by the river without any scruples, and some Japanese soldiers who were quick had already rowed down the river with wooden rafts and were struggling to row towards the opposite bank. Tang Cheng's hand holding the binoculars in the trenches began to sweat, making his palms slippery, and the Japanese soldiers on the raft were getting closer and closer to the riverbank, so close that the routed soldiers in the trenches could see each other's faces clearly with only the naked eye. When the first Japanese soldier just stepped on the riverbank, Tang Cheng finally put down his binoculars and picked up his carbine, and the routs were nervously waiting for Tang Cheng's order, until the third raft also approached the riverbank, Tang Cheng pulled the trigger and knocked down a Japanese soldier who was lying on the ground and looking up.

The routs who heard the gunfire immediately opened fire, and the routs in the trenches fired on instinct, and the Japanese were so close that they did not have time to aim carefully. Fortunately, there is also the bullet pressure of the veterans, from a few people to shoot a dozen shots to successfully shoot a Japanese soldier, and slowly developed to kill a Japanese soldier after two or three shots. After letting go of a few rows of guns, I don't know how many Japanese soldiers who crossed the river fell, maybe it was a psychological effect, the routers in the trenches began to throw grenades, and the explosion of the grenades falling in the river sounded muffled, and as soon as two batches were thrown, the Japanese grenadiers on the other side of the river smashed over.

The Japanese grenadiers were always accurate, and several of the routed soldiers who were hit by grenades were thrown high and thrown out of the trenches. After a few rounds of bombardment, finally some of the routers could not stand it and began to roll out of the trenches and break back, they threw away their guns, climbed out of the trenches, and ran in the direction of Ledo. Tang Cheng didn't speak with a cold face, but just waved his hand downward, and the machine gun that had already turned its muzzle in the trench rang out.

In the sound of gunfire, more than a dozen routs who crawled out of the trench were shot and fell to the ground, Tang Cheng turned his head to look at the others, and just shouted a few dry words in his mouth, "Fortify the defense, continue shooting." "Tang Cheng's courage and cold-bloodedness frightened the rest of the rout, and they all honestly lay down in the trenches, and continued to shoot with their guns aimed at the other side of the river." Aim and shoot again, there are not many little devils, they can't touch your side, they all aim at Lao Tzu and shoot again. The shouts of the veterans echoed in the trenches, and although the speed of the rout's shooting had slowed down, the accuracy of the soldiers had increased considerably.

After packing up the few deserters who tried to escape back to Ledo, Tang Cheng had been using binoculars to look for the other party's grenadiers, the bushes on the other side of the river were too far away from his side, and the Japanese grenadiers could only hide behind the bushes on the other side of the river. "Heavy machine gun, sweep me through the bushes on the other side of the river and kill me with their grenadiers." Tang Cheng was unable to find out the location of the opponent's grenadier in the end, so he had to let the heavy machine gun, which had not fired, conduct a round of tentative firing.

Once the heavy machine gun, which had a range far greater than that of a light machine gun, fired, the Japanese grenadiers hidden behind the bushes on the other side of the river could not be hidden. "Quick, kill those retreating Japanese soldiers for me." Seeing the grenadiers carried by the Japanese soldiers through the binoculars, Tang Cheng was overjoyed.

The muzzle of the heavy machine gun was slightly raised, and the tongue of fire that began to move up licked several Japanese grenadiers to the ground, and before the other Japanese soldiers could react, the heavy machine gun fire moving left and right swept across the opposite bank again. The Japanese finally retreated, and the remaining Japanese troops, who had been ravaged by Tang Cheng with the heavy machine guns that had been hidden, retreated into the woods. On both sides of the river, the dead were caught among the living, and the living were lying on their stomachs among the dead. The more than 100 defeated soldiers deployed here in Tangcheng only died a few and wounded more than a dozen in this round of fortification, but the casualties paid by the Japanese army were several times more than theirs.

There was no time to count the corpses left behind by the Japanese soldiers, and the veterans were already pouting and searching for scattered bullets and grenades in the trenches that had almost turned to scorched earth, searching for wounded comrades. Carrying a brand-new first-aid kit, the medic was busy running through the trenches, stopping from time to time to bandage wounded soldiers. The dice took out a few boxes containing canned food from the anti-artillery hole, and shouted at the rout next to him, "Distribute it to everyone, save some food, it's still early." ”

Tang Cheng was not idle, gathered a few routs in the trenches who were just following the flow just now, pointed to the Japanese corpses on the bank of the river and laughed in a low voice, "I'm afraid there are still a lot of Japanese soldiers who can breathe, give you a task, don't care how many bullets you hit, I want you to shoot two bullets for each corpse, preferably in the head." "It was Tang Cheng's old practice to mend the knife for the corpse, but now was not a good time to mend the knife in the past, so Tang Cheng handed over this job to these cowardly guys to complete.

Waiting for the sparse and jerky gunshots to sound one after another, Tang Cheng found a nearby anti-artillery hole and lay down, taking the opportunity to rest his muscles and bones that were about to fall apart. Tang Cheng now only relied on the more than 100 defeated soldiers by the river and the wounded soldiers in the town who did not evacuate, but he never understood whether the failed attack of the Japanese army just now was a test or because of a lack of troops. There were at least 30 Japanese soldiers killed by them on this side of the river in Tangcheng, and there was also news from the wooden bridge that more than a dozen Japanese soldiers had been killed, and the Japanese soldiers killed on both sides plus one piece were almost a small team.

The other veterans had the same thoughts as Tang Cheng, and gradually scattered throughout the trenches, lying and leaning in the positions they thought were comfortable. Hou San and Tan Fei squeezed to Tang Cheng's side at the same time, and the two of them squeezed Tang Cheng to the edge of the anti-artillery hole at the same time. Tang Cheng had no choice but to crawl out of the anti-artillery hole, leaned diagonally in the trench, and looked at Hou San and Tan Fei silently with the triumphant Hou San and Tan Fei who were nesting in the anti-artillery hole. Xu is deliberately revealing the smug color on Tan Fei's face was seen by Tang Cheng, and Tang Cheng, who was embarrassed and angry, immediately took out a bullet from his pocket and threw it at Tan Fei. "When" Tan Fei, who didn't mention it, was smashed on the steel helmet by the bullet thrown by Tang Cheng, the guys in the trenches raised their guns one after another and looked at the other side.
