Around 5 o'clock in the morning, Ledo's sky was already hazy, and it was clear that the weather was good today, and the cloudless sky seemed to indicate a victory. Tang Cheng, who hadn't closed his eyes all night, turned over and got out of bed, looking at the clear sky outside the window, Tang Cheng's mood seemed to be exceptionally good. The wound on Tang Cheng's back has been changed, and there is no major problem, and after discussing it with the director of the hospital for a long time last night, the stubborn old man finally promised the hospital not to withdraw first. But if Ledo can't hold on, Tang Cheng must personally escort all the medical staff in the hospital to Ramgarh.

"All the British troops in Ledo have begun to evacuate, I got a radio from Wallace, and I'll see if I can contact the flying team, why don't you have some ammunition to drop over, or you won't have enough bullets for your carbines." George pushed open the door and came in from the outside, sat on Tang Cheng's bed honestly and unceremoniously, grabbed Tang Cheng's freshly opened can and chewed it, talking about the movements of the British army while eating. "Don, the British army has retreated, no one cares about us here, there is nothing, what are we going to garrison?" Tang Cheng, who was robbed of the canned food by George, helplessly smashed the grease on his hand.

"Go and call the third brother and the dice, and let them shave the heads of the newcomers in a while, and let them die like soldiers even if they die." Tang Cheng whispered to Tan Fei through the window, although the latter didn't know what the relationship between shaving his head and death was, he still followed Tang Cheng's instructions to find Hou San and the dice. After a short period of effort, the dice with a cigarette in his mouth first carried his sniper rifle and shouted into Tang Cheng's room, and when he saw George who was devouring canned food, the dice were happy first.

"Huang Mao, you eat it when you open your eyes on dog days, why didn't this choke you?" The dice's words sounded vicious, but George just nodded in response, and continued to chew on the canned meat without raising his head. After getting along with the dice for a long time, even George himself would scold a few foul words in stumbling Chinese, and he also knew that what the dice said just now was just making fun of himself, and he couldn't afford to argue with the dice because of a joke, not to mention that he was afraid that the dice would take the opportunity to snatch the can in his hand.

"The guy outside was checked by the doctor and found out that more than a dozen of them have some infectious diseases, what should I do?" Hou San, who came in later, had a straight face, and it was Tang Cheng's idea to check the body of the assembled rout. Tang Cheng's original intention was not to let these doctors and nurses who were bent on evacuation be idle, but no one thought that the infectious disease would really be detected.

The news brought by Hou San also made Tang Cheng stunned, and then took out a cigarette and smoked one himself, and gave the rest to Hou San. "What can I do, send it back to the hospital, isn't this what the doctor does, and leave it to the hospital." Tang Cheng's seemingly whining words were not over, and George and the dice, who had just put down the can, reached out to Hou San to grab the cigarettes that did not belong to them. As a punishment for the two, Tang Cheng kicked each of them hard to relieve the anger in his heart.

"It's been a night's rest, and today let the rest of Ledo go to the river to dig bunkers and trenches. Otherwise, when the Japanese army comes, we will all be finished. No matter what happens, we have to prepare early, count on others, I don't think it will work, and in the end we have to rely on ourselves. Tang Cheng, who snatched back a few cigarettes from the dice, lit one with satisfaction, and explained what the three of them had to do today while smoking.

"Can I not go? You know, I'm going to use the radio to contact the flight team. George, who still had oil stains on the corners of his mouth, blushed his face and leaned over to Tang Cheng to accompany the smiling face. Zhao Zhi glanced at George and stretched out his hand to push George's big face away. "Everyone is going to go, except for the wounded and people in the hospital, Lao Tzu will go for a while." Tang Cheng angrily yelled at the pretentious George, this thing has been mixed with dice for a long time, so why did they learn to be cheeky.

Tang Cheng's order naturally set off an uproar among the routs, and most of the routs who had only eaten two full meals were unwilling to dig trenches and bunkers, anyway, the Japanese army would withdraw when it came, and everyone had long been used to withdrawing. "Shut up" Hou San, who was full of anger, carried his carbine and stood on the table in the hospital to examine the patient, shouting, "Shut up, our commander said that the Japanese army will definitely attack, so Ledo must defend." Now we want guns and guns, and we want to eat and eat, what are you afraid of, go and dig trenches for Lao Tzu. ”

"Sir, it's not that we won't go, but the brothers still have injuries on their bodies, and they really can't do anything." A rout soldier wearing an English-style steel helmet looked at Hou San who was glaring angrily with a grin, but his face was full of disdain. This thing is obviously a thorn, but many of his words are agreed with by many defeated soldiers, after all, digging trenches is not a trivial matter, and it is better than staying here to eat and drink leisurely.

"Don't go, do you? OK. Hou San smiled and then waved his hand, rushed over a few guys with loaded guns, and stripped the thorny rout of the soldiers in a few clicks. The new military uniforms are all grandfathers who fought for their lives, get out, if you don't want to go, take off the military uniforms we issued, call out to give you food, now you can get out. Hou San's words were very domineering, and they were indeed domineering, because these coaxing routs were already surrounded by soldiers who had been armed and were bent on fighting.

Facing the muzzles of the black holes around them, the routs who did not dare to continue to make noise were divided into two parts, and those who were willing to dig trenches still accounted for the majority, and only a dozen people were unwilling to go. Throw over a few tattered military uniforms, and those guys were kicked out of here by Tan Fei with people, and you can only be as arrogant as Hou San and them to deal with the veteran ruffians, otherwise you won't be able to clean them up at all.

Zhao Liang then led people to dig out a large number of tools such as sapper shovels and pickaxes from the warehouse of the hospital, and the guys who had just changed into new military uniforms lined up and were taken to dig trenches. Of course, George couldn't be idle, he was going to use that radio to contact the flying team and try to get an ammunition airdrop for Dontown.

"You only have 200 wounded routers, you can't win the Japanese army at all, you don't know how terrible they are. If I were you, I would take these children to Lambgar, and wait for the follow-up troops to counterattack the Japanese here, and then take them into battle, and now, they will only die here in vain. Zhao Liang and the others had just taken the defeated soldiers to dig the trenches, and the stubborn hospital director couldn't hold back any longer, and finally stood up and prepared to persuade Tang Cheng to evacuate Ledo.

Tang Cheng just smiled at this stubborn old man but didn't speak, he knew that this old man was not a coward, because Tang Cheng had already learned the power of the old man last night. "Mr. Dean, we are soldiers, and soldiers deserve to die on the battlefield. The withdrawal from Mandalay was a last resort, but we were tired of withdrawing, so we were ready to fight the Japanese army in pursuit of the two in Ledo. Maybe we'll die a lot, maybe we'll all be wiped out here, but do you see any of us regretting it? Tang Cheng turned his head to look at the old man with a smile.

"Sir, you don't understand our Chinese soldiers at all, any country invaded by the enemy will be like this, and we are only a small part of it, a very small part." Tang Cheng stretched out his hand and used his thumb and forefinger to draw a short distance for the old man. "They are all warriors, not cowards, so facing the enemy is what they must do, just like your doctors and nurses face the wounded all day long, this is their fate and their duty."

"Crazy, you're a madman, you're all crazy, you're going to die for nothing. Why? Why does it have to be this way? Can't they just evacuate to a safer place first, and when their wounds are healed, then go and fight those damned Japanese soldiers? The old man was completely angry, completely ignoring Hou San, who was staring at Tang Cheng's side, and directly grabbed the front of Tang Cheng's military uniform with his hand. Tang Cheng also ignored the saliva that splashed on his face from the old man's mouth, and just looked at the angry old man with a calm face, and at this moment, Tang Cheng seemed to see Robert's shadow from this angry old man.

"Sir, I apologize for detaining you and your doctors and nurses without permission." Tang Cheng stopped Hou San's move to forcibly separate the two, but after gently breaking free from the old man's scratch, he took two steps back and bowed deeply to the old man. "There will always be casualties in war, and I left you for the sake of these soldiers under me, I am good at fighting, but treating the wounded is not something I can do. So, I ask for your help and that of your doctors and nurses, and when the battle begins, I hope you will be able to heal the wounded we have sent. ”

Without waiting for the old man to answer, Tang Cheng had already taken Hou San to the outside of the hospital, the weather was good, the Japanese army did not fire, and Tang Cheng's mood was much more relaxed. Tang Cheng stood at the door of the hospital, looking up at the clear sky, thinking in his heart. After experiencing life and death in the reckless jungle again, Tang Cheng's heart suddenly emptied, and he was already a little confused. The brethren who followed him fought less and less, and with each battle there were fewer and fewer, and he became more and more cold-blooded. Tang Cheng has killed the Japanese army, and he has also killed his own people, and everyone who is dangerous to him has become his enemy, Tang Cheng doesn't know if it's right to do this, he doesn't know.

But when Tang Cheng thought of Robert, Liu Goat, Yanhu and Manniu, his heart couldn't help but feel warm, and something seemed to be in his mind. Yes, even for the sake of these people who have passed away, I have to live well, for the people I love and love myself, and live. After some ideological struggle, Tang Cheng finally understood the doubts in his heart, this time it was finally raining and the sky was clear, Tang Cheng buckled his steel helmet and strode out of the hospital, he wanted to see the new defeated soldiers.
