"Robbers, you are all robbers." The director of the hospital, who had a pair of mustaches, shouted at the jeep that was leaving the hospital, but Tang Cheng and George in the jeep turned a deaf ear, and Hou San and the others, who were gathered at the entrance of the hospital and were about to leave, laughed even more. Wallace only gave Tang Cheng half an hour, so Tang Cheng had to cherish every minute, so the jeep parked in the hospital yard became Tang Cheng's means of transportation.

The British troops stationed in Ledo were about to retreat, and the hospital was also going to be evacuated, and all the doctors and nurses who could spare time were packing their luggage, but George found a gap to trick the keys to the jeep from the dean, and when the dean reacted, George had already started the jeep, and Tang Cheng also took Tan Fei and Yanlong into the jeep.

It was already night, and the whistling and explosion of shells had not stopped, but the intensity of the Japanese bombardment had weakened considerably, and at this moment the entire perimeter of Ledo was shrouded in artillery fire and smoke. There were many more people in the streets of the small town of Ledo, who were gathering the dead and searching for the wounded in the smoke and smell of blood that filled the whole of Ledo. Tang Cheng in the jeep didn't have time to pay attention to these, but he just urged George who was driving to speed up, and George, who was forced to be helpless, hated to replace this jeep with a fighter he had piloted, because only then could it be possible to meet Tang Cheng's requirements.

"Do you hear that? The shelling has stopped, which means that my inference is correct, and the number of Japanese troops who appeared on the periphery of Ledo is not very large. If they are large enough, they should attack Ledo directly, and there is no need to use the batteries outside the town to play any artillery bombardment, this is just a bluff of the Japanese army, that is, you British are easy to deceive. "It's not just Don City who are sitting in the jeep, but also a British soldier sent by Wallace to show Tang City the way.

The British soldiers who were ridiculed by Tang Cheng obviously did not look very good, but in his heart he also agreed with Tang Cheng's statement, according to the habits of the Japanese army, if they had enough troops, they should indeed attack Leduo directly. Ten minutes later, Tang Cheng and his party finally found the warehouse that needed to be burned according to the instructions of the British soldier, and saw a jeep coming from a distance, and the guards guarding the warehouse had already put their weapons in their hands on guard.

Seeing that there were still guards in the warehouse, Tang Cheng, who had not yet gotten off the jeep, was a little flustered, since there were still soldiers guarding the warehouse, why did Wallace go to great lengths to send a team of soldiers to run over and burn down the warehouse? With deep doubts, Tang Cheng followed the British soldiers who led the way into the courtyard of the warehouse, and only when the British soldiers who led the way opened their mouths, Tang Cheng knew the reason. In fact, the reason is very simple, the Japanese army used the first shot fired by the battery outside the town to blow up the telephone line leading to the warehouse in the town, and Wallace could not use the phone to notify the soldiers guarding the warehouse to burn the warehouse, so he had to send someone to the warehouse to convey the order.

"Tang, this is a comprehensive warehouse, which contains not only military uniforms and medicines, but also food and weapons, I think it is enough for you to arm a battalion." George looked through the storehouse's notebook and gave Tang Cheng a surprise answer. "Great" Tang Cheng slammed into the air, without food and weapons supplies, it was dangerous to stay in Ledo. Although Tang Cheng knew that the attacking Japanese army was a small force, he did not know the specific number. Now that he had enough supplies to arm a battalion, Tang Cheng could use them to recruit the Nationalist troops who were left in Ledo, and in doing so, hold Ledo and kill the Japanese outside the town.

Knowing that the troops were about to evacuate Ledo, the British soldiers guarding the warehouse did not even say anything to Tang Cheng, but left the registration book and a few sets of keys in the warehouse to George, and hurried away in a truck with the soldiers sent by Wallace. The Japanese seized the fort outside the town, which was not a big problem in Tang City's eyes, but the British troops stationed here knew how powerful it was.

The forts outside the town of Ledo were built by the British army, and in order to encircle Ledo, the British army hoarded a large number of shells in those forts, and according to the number of shells that the British army hoarded at that time, it was enough for the Japanese army to fight for half a month. The British had been frightened by the Japanese when they were in Burma, and now that they had occupied the fort outside the town, they were even more eager to grow a few more legs, and they immediately fled far away from the columns, for fear that they would die under the bombardment of the shells they had prepared.

Casually opening the door of a warehouse, Tang Cheng and the others were instantly stunned, and a strong sense of happiness rushed from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads, and George, who had never spoken foul language, even scolded. Opening the doors of other warehouses in a row, Tang Cheng and the others looked even more straight, the British's ability to hoard materials far exceeded Tang Cheng's estimates, and these warehouses opened by them were stacked with materials that were almost up to the roof.

The materials stored in the warehouse are enough for Tang City to feed the entire Ledo and all the defeated troops of the national army. Military uniforms, food, medicines, weapons and ammunition were all available, and he picked up a can and threw it to Tan Fei, Tang Cheng also took one himself, picked it open with a bayonet, and the four of them squatted on the box and feasted on it first. "George, you and Yanlong stay to guard the warehouse, I will go back to the third brother with my glasses in a while, and we must recruit enough people before dawn." Throwing down the half-eaten cans, Tang Cheng and Tan Fei loaded a few boxes of canned food and biscuits into the car, and drove away in the jeep.

There were at least three or four hundred Nationalist soldiers in the entire town of Ledo, and there were about 100 or so expeditionary soldiers who stayed in Ledo Hospital for treatment, most of them were suffering from typhoid fever and malaria. Typhoid fever and malaria recovered relatively slowly, so they didn't rush to Ramgarh in time to assemble, but now they were picked up by Hou San and them. Tang Cheng left specifically to explain to Hou San, to gather as many national troops scattered in Ledo as possible, the British army that has lost the will to fight is unreliable, Tang Cheng can only count on these guys of the national army.

Since ancient times, the defeated army is not as good as the Kou, and the stray soldiers are thieves, and most of the defeated soldiers have no food and clothing, so they immediately fall into the strange circle of begging for food and clothing. The practice of the national army in China is to hand over the defeated troops to the local areas for on-the-spot reorganization, and then send them to the front line, and then reorganize and go to the front line after being defeated, until the defeated soldiers are all killed. Therefore, when the defeated soldiers begged for food and clothing, they could only look through God, and hope that the big guy would be gracious, and the next time they were defeated, they could withdraw more smoothly, and they could still live, but that's it.

Hou San, of course, they are not routs, look at the US military uniforms on their bodies and the carbine in their hands, you know that these guys are not easy to mess with, the military doctor who temporarily helped the doctor in the hospital has been called back by Hou San, with the inside line of the military doctor, Hou San is very light and contacted at least 30 wounded members of the expeditionary force who have recovered in the hospital. The routed soldiers of the new 22nd Division, who had followed Tang Cheng out of Savage Mountain, had followed the shelter to Ramgarh, but the carbines that Mike had dropped by plane were all retrieved and placed in George's hospital room, and Hou San decided to distribute these carbines to the 30 or so wounded soldiers of the expeditionary force who volunteered to follow them to defend Ledo.

Although these 30 or so guys who had recovered from their injuries were all wounded a few days ago, they were better than those national army routs outside the hospital in terms of complexion and condition, and Hou San, who had gathered more than 30 people in the hospital, immediately took them out of the hospital to collect other national army routs.

Nearly 40 soldiers with loaded guns lined up in a double formation, and their footsteps were very neat, although it was already night, but such a team caused quite a stir in Ledo. On weekdays, the routed soldiers of the expeditionary force of Ledo were gathered together in twos and threes, with wooden expressions and a foul smell, and they were all over the streets of Ledo to grab food. But the soldiers of the expeditionary force were different, although they were also yellow-skinned and even some of them were in tattered clothes, but they roamed the streets of Ledo in a line, and each of them had a gun in his hand.

Hou San, they can't just take the guys behind them to walk through the streets and alleys and just walk in line, but whenever they see the rout of the national army, they will forcibly pull into the queue. Of course, there are some who are unwilling, but after being pointed at by a circle of guns after a few tricks of punches and kicks, even if they are unruly, they can only shut up and silently follow the ever-longer and longer line through the streets and alleys of Liedo.

I have to say that it was a wise move for Tang Cheng to hand over the task of gathering the rout to Hou San and the dice, and walked around Leduo, Hou San and their team of less than 40 people had at least 200 more stragglers. Hundreds of routs lined up in a neat line, and finally walked straight into the Ledo Hospital, and the doctors and nurses who were busy packing and retreating were dumbfounded, not knowing what these routs were going to do when they came to the hospital.

"Did you hear all the shelling just now? The reason for the shelling was that the Japanese who chased them out of the jungle captured the British battery outside the town. "Hou San, who had his hands on his hips, stood on a stone and shouted at the routs who had been gathered by himself, and when he learned that the Japanese army had chased them out of the jungle and came to Ledo, the routs immediately became noisy." Quiet, quiet, shut the fuck up. Seeing that he couldn't control the riots of the rout, Hou San had no choice but to shoot several shots at the sky.

The sound of gunfire made the routs finally quiet down, but Hou San's face was already showing anger, and he stretched out his hand and pointed at the few rout soldiers in front of him and scolded, "You fucking are all fighting hard battles with little devils, think about it carefully with your mushy heads, if there are enough little devils coming, why don't they attack Ledo directly?" If you don't fight a lot, it means that their number is not large enough, is it possible that you guys who have fought a tough battle with little devils can still let a dozen or dozens of little devils swagger and occupy the column? ”
