Chapter Ninety-Seven: No Way Out

After the Japanese army came, New Pingyang was built into a fortress, not only a lot of Japanese troops, but also more Burmese Burmese people who supported the Japanese army. The British used to be the rulers of this land, but the greedy British failed to bring a happy life to Burma, so after the Japanese army entered Burma, the Burma, which had long been suppressed by the British, seemed to have found its backbone, and they chose the Japanese army with the same yellow skin as their support.

Tang Cheng stopped at a place that was only half a day's walk away from New Pingyang, and the contact between Mike and Stilwell did not go very smoothly, and Stilwell was full of apologies in the telegram, but in fact there was no word in favor of the direct company. According to Stilwell, the 38th Division strongly demanded that the offensive against Xinpingyang be launched after the rainy season, which meant that Tangcheng would need to lie dormant throughout the rainy season in northern Burma, during which time they would be completely alone.

The situation has been like this and cannot be reversed, Mike turned to ask Stilwell not to interrupt the airdrop support to his direct company, Stilwell did not refuse, but everyone knew that it was the rainy season, and it was impossible for the flying team not to consider the safety of the pilots and the aircraft. "Damn, I knew I couldn't believe these big noses, I knew it would be like this, we should have asked George to find a bigger plane and send all of us back to Kunming, who wants to fight this bird." Without any scruples, Mike was still on the spot, and the dice immediately scolded.

Mike's face was a little unsightly, but it didn't stop the dice from scolding, and Tang Cheng glared at the dice, which made the indignant dice shut up. "Alright, anyway, it's none of Mike's business. This is also considered our luck, if we didn't know about it when we got close to Xinpingyang, maybe we would have been bitten by the Japanese army a long time ago. Now don't talk about those tangled things, let's think about what we people should do. ”

After getting together and discussing, there was no problem with their weapons and ammunition in Tang City, but there was not enough food, and now the soldiers were carrying enough supplies to consume in the forest for three days at most. Now is not the time for a woman's kindness, and he is about to face the danger of running out of food, Tang Cheng can only make a murderous intention, "Didn't the intelligence of the command say that there are many Burmese villages here in Xinpingyang, go to look for them separately, and if you find it, we will immediately collect food on the spot, as long as we have food in our hands, the rest of the things will be easy to handle." ”

In a few words, Tang Cheng decided what to do next, Tang Cheng personally took Tan Fei and a team of scouts to the direction of Xin Pingyang, although it was not yet the time to make a move on Xin Pingyang, but Tang Cheng wanted to see with his own eyes what Xin Pingyang was. It was only half an hour before they left Mike, and the scouts who walked more than ten meters in front of Tang City found a few wooden houses scattered in the sparse woodland in front of them. Tang Cheng and the others immediately hid down, using the cover of dense vegetation to observe the movements around those wooden houses from a distance.

There were Japanese soldiers around the wooden houses, so Tang Cheng judged that these wooden houses were all strongholds of the Japanese army, maybe from here until Xinpingyang every few miles there was such a place, once attacked, the nearest stronghold would be immediately reinforced, a bit similar to the ancient Chinese beacon used for communication. Tang Cheng recorded the location of the wooden house in detail, and then stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of Tan Fei's flank of the wooden house. Tan Fei understood in his heart that this was to ask him to take half of his men around the flanks of the wooden houses, and the self-patriarch was going to take these wooden houses as a black hand.

Tan Fei led the people to slowly move to the side of the wooden house, which was close to the wooden house, and could already be seen clearly with the naked eye. It was indeed a Japanese stronghold, with barbed wire fences outside the hut, a three-wheeled motorcycle parked in the clearing, and two or three devil soldiers leaning on sandbags from heavy machine gun nests smoking. Discovering the machine gun position arranged by the Japanese army, Tan Fei didn't dare to delay too much, and immediately returned to Tang Cheng's side and gave Tang Cheng what he saw.

Tang Cheng couldn't help but wail in his heart, the Japanese army had arranged a position here, and it was obvious that a dozen or so people alone would not be able to take these wooden houses. If you mobilize people to attack, you will not be able to attract more Japanese troops, and even if you take these wooden houses, you may not be able to get the supplies you need. After thinking about it left and right, Tang Cheng could only order to retreat, those who touched stones with eggs were stupid, Tang Cheng would not be such a fool.

Tang Cheng returned to join Mike and them, and several other search teams sent out had also returned, and the situation was the same as what Tang Cheng had detected, although they found Burmese villages, but there were Japanese troops in those villages, and the search team had no way to start. At the end of this, Mike, whose face was as dead as ashes, sat on the ground without saying a word, and no one knew the answer to how long more than 200 people without food could last in the jungle, but Mike understood that this answer was definitely not what he wanted to know.

"Let's go, get out of here first, and think as we go, when we went to Ledo in the woods, we didn't get any better there, and it wasn't the same as living to Ledo, I don't believe that a living person can still be suffocated by urine." Tang Cheng was the one who could keep his composure at any time, and besides, their current situation was much better than when they first crossed the jungle, and more than 200 heavily armed guys could really starve to death in the forest? Tang Cheng's answer was naturally impossible.

The soldiers who were kicked and beaten by Tang Cheng were about to leave in a group, but suddenly, Yan Long, who had not spoken all this time, half-squatted down on the spot and made a vigilant gesture with his left hand. Seeing this, Tang Cheng froze there, and saw that the half-crouched Yan Long was listening to something with his ears engrossedly, Tang Cheng immediately followed with a hidden gesture. Seeing Tang Cheng and Yan Long's reaction, the others were all stunned for a moment, and then they also half-squatted down, raising their guns and aiming around.

Dice and his snipers were now hidden in the thick of grass, ready to provide fire support. The cooperation of the other soldiers had already experienced the baptism of several jungle fights, and they were already very skilled moves, so when they saw Tang Cheng's gestures, they just reacted normally. The calm Yan Long didn't know why he stopped suddenly, he just felt a trace of something strange in the fog on the other side, which made him feel very uncomfortable. Through the fog in front of him, the rock dragon seemed to hear a noise and leaned towards him, but he couldn't be sure if it was a human or a wild thing.

Tang Cheng slowly squatted down beside Yan Long, just like Yan Long, he looked ahead without blinking, and the carbine in his hand had already been flattened. 2 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes have passed, Tang Cheng and Yanlong still have no intention of standing up, they still hold their breath and listen attentively. Without Tang Cheng's order, the other soldiers who had been hidden did not dare to expose their figures, the more times like this, the more they could not be anxious, hunting was a patience, and Tang Cheng, who was also not sure about the situation, planned to wait a little longer.

The dice hidden in the long grass had searched through the sniper scope for what could be seen on the other side, but found nothing. Probably because he had been squatting for too long, a soldier not far from Tang City shook his body slightly, but accidentally touched the bushes around him and made a small sound. It was too late for Tang Cheng to stop it, and at this moment, the extremely subtle sound in the fog on the opposite side suddenly disappeared. Tang Cheng suddenly turned his head and waved his hand in shock, "Fire, fire, there are Japanese troops, there are Japanese troops" Ignoring the hidden danger on the other side, Tang Cheng still opened his mouth and shouted, although he lowered his voice, but it still spread far away in the empty mountain forest.

The submachine gunners immediately pulled the bolt and pulled the trigger on the fog in front of them, and more than a dozen tongues of fire rushed straight towards it. The gunshots in the fog rang out, and the bullets were a lot more dense, hitting Tang Cheng and them with blades of grass flying wildly. "Poof" "poof" "poof" The figures who were not on guard in the fog were immediately knocked down, and the blood mist splattered from the bullet holes on the body, and the originally diffuse fog began to show blood red. "Fire, fire, don't stop." Tang Cheng shouted loudly, raised his carbine and fired at the fog, and the soldiers on his side didn't care about it, but they shot one after another at the blood-red fog.

The sound of empty guns hanging up came one after another, and after Tang Cheng made a gesture to stop shooting, the gunshots gradually came, but everyone still didn't dare to relax their vigilance with their weapons flat. After waiting for a while, only to hear screams and groans from the fog on the opposite side, Yan Long took a few brave soldiers with guns and touched them, and it didn't take much effort to drag back a few guys who had not yet lost their breath. "Doesn't it look like a Japanese army?" Although the guys who were dragged back by Yanlong and them were all wearing Japanese military uniforms, "Damn, these are all Burmese" Finally, a guy who was shot in the arm spoke, speaking a very standard Burmese dialect.

Tang Cheng and the others finally figured out the identity of the other party, this is a group of Burmese servant army, who are following the Japanese army to pick up foreign soldiers, which is equivalent to the puppet army in China. After confirming the identity of the group, Yan Long drew his short knife and pierced the joints of the limbs of the four Burmese soldiers who were still alive, which was a means given to the scouts by the American instructors, so as to ensure that the captives would not escape and facilitate the questioning of information.

Like the puppet army in China, these captured Burmese soldiers did not have the tenacity that Tang Cheng imagined, Tan Fei only asked a few words in blunt Burmese, and the four Burmese soldiers scrambled to tell everything they knew. The situation seems to be stricter than what they know in Tangcheng, the Japanese army has deployed more troops here in Xinpingyang than a mixed unit, and the number of the Japanese army unit confessed by these four Burmese soldiers alone is no less than the size of two Japanese brigades.
