"Phew, phew" Hou San, who then got up, kept spitting out the dirt in his mouth, and when Hou San ran with Tang Cheng, he was still dragging the rock tiger in his hand. The rock tiger, who could fly like flat ground in the mountains and forests, fell several times in a row just now, and even dragged Hou San and fell into the mud, which is why he couldn't stop spitting at this time. The Japanese fighters had already flown away, but Tang Cheng was still not at ease, so he asked Hou San and a few to protect Huang Hanju to stay in place, and Tang Cheng only took the wild bull to the flaming highway in the distance.

There was still some distance from the road, and Tang Cheng not only smelled burnt, but also smelled a strong smell of blood. Tang Cheng and Manniu slowly got onto the highway with guns, the air raid had just ended, the road full of fire was still filled with choking smoke, and there were a lot of things and gravel thrown by the panicked crowd on the ground, Tang Cheng and Manniu had to follow the road, one foot deep and one foot shallow to the corner where the traffic was blocked first.

Although there were a lot of fireheads on the road, after all, because of the sky, Tang Cheng's bloody scenes of imagining mutilated limbs along the way did not appear in his sight. But the damage to the road and the collapse of the roadbed caused by the explosion made the otherwise smooth road rugged and impassable, and there were more corpses on the messy road. stepped on a piece of gravel carelessly, which made Tang Cheng, who was stumbling, almost stumble, and hurriedly reminded the brute bull who followed him to be more careful. After a while, they came to the corner where the traffic jam had been before, and there were indeed no civilians left who had been crowded here, and Tang Cheng and Manniu only found some scattered luggage and a few huge bomb craters here.

The two of them walked forward again, and a rough voice sounded coldly in the darkness: "Who are you?" Tang Cheng was startled, and immediately squatted down, flattened the rifle in his hand, and followed the sound to see that a figure wearing a steel helmet was climbing up from under the roadbed in front of him, and it seemed that he had also run down the roadbed just now to avoid the air raid. Coming up from under the roadbed was a black-faced soldier wearing a steel helmet, and seeing that Tang Cheng was also in military attire, he was not too vigilant, but just carried his rifle in one hand, and asked according to the rules: "Which unit are you from?" Do you have documents? ”

Tang Cheng took out his ID from his jacket pocket and reached out to hand it over, but the other party was about to take it but suddenly stiffened, because there was a rifle against his side. "Don't ask us which unit we belong to, let's make yourself clear first, do you have documents?" The bull's voice was very rough, but the rifle under the opponent's ribs in his hand was definitely not rough.

When Tang Cheng suddenly squatted down and raised his gun, the brute bull following behind him had already moved to his side like a ghost, Tang Cheng took out his documents just to attract the attention of the other party, to buy time and opportunity for the brute bull moving sideways, and the other party was really taken by the brute bull that suddenly appeared. Tang Cheng had already judged that the other party was a soldier escorting the material truck, but he didn't expect to deal with it alone, and suddenly several figures sprang out from under the roadbed surrounded the brute bull, which caught Tang Cheng off guard.

But Tang Cheng has never been a person who is willing to admit defeat, no matter whether the other party is a member of the national army or not, Tang Cheng will not be willing to be pointed at his head by the other party with a gun. Just like when he was fighting with the Japanese army in hand-to-hand combat before, Tang Cheng let go of the rifle in his hand, suddenly pulled out the shell gun from the holster on his waist, and rubbed the hammer on his thigh, and the click sound was soft and crisp in the silent night. Although he didn't want to shoot, Tang Cheng still hurried forward and put the muzzle of his gun on the head of one of the national soldiers.

"Don't move! I don't want to hurt anyone, I still have a grenade in my left hand, since everyone is a national army, then it's best to put down the gun first, if you dare to act rashly, it's a big deal that everyone will die here. Seeing this situation, although the other party who had just escaped from death was unwilling, they did not dare to put down the rifle holding the bull without any hesitation. Tang Cheng was very anxious, but he couldn't figure out what the situation was with these soldiers, so he aimed his gun at the other party, and at the same time motioned to the wild bull to let go of the other party's man and slowly retreated.

The two sides each retreated a few meters, and Tang Cheng put down the shell gun in his hand, and then opened his empty left hand to show the other party. "Hey, bro, don't be impulsive!" Seeing that the few guys on the opposite side seemed to be a little annoyed, Tang Cheng hurriedly opened his hands and let the brute bull beside him slowly bend down and put the rifle in his hand on the ground. Seeing that the other party didn't mean to make trouble, Tang Cheng relaxed a little and reinserted the hammer of the barge gun back into the holster in order to prevent misfire. The brute bull also walked a few steps quickly half-sideways, bent down to pick up the rifle that Tang Cheng had thrown on the ground earlier, and then stared at the other party with his eyes fixed on the other party and slowly retreated, still standing by Tang Cheng's side.

What the hell is going on tonight, in fact, these few national soldiers standing opposite Tang Cheng are not very clear, and under Tang Cheng's repeated inquiries and guidance, they gradually recall some things. "Yes, it was the overseas Chinese who drove the car, when the little devil's plane came over, I heard the third squad leader say that he wanted all the cars to turn off the lights and put out the bonfire, and it was the car that collided with the truck that turned on the lights first." A soldier who had only just come to his senses pointed to the darkness not far ahead and shouted, where the traffic jam was just now.

Tang Cheng and their people wearing the uniforms of the national army appeared on the road, with the help of the reflection of those fires, people on both sides of the highway have been on the highway, when everyone is most panicked, Tang Cheng and their people wearing the uniform of the national army are undoubtedly the place where everyone can feel at ease. There were people on the road, and with them there were screams and cries, from women in the crowd who saw dead bodies on the ground, and cries from those who had lost family and friends.

There were not many bombs dropped by Japanese fighters, and although the bombs dropped by Japanese fighters destroyed the vehicles and killed many people, there were still drivers who returned to the cab and turned on their headlights one after another. Under the headlights, the road looks like it has just been a massacre, and the corpses are lying everywhere. Not to mention those civilians, even those who can be called veterans in Tang City will be shocked to see this situation.

The soldiers escorting the material truck had already checked the documents of Tang Cheng and others, but Tang Cheng, who was now the logistics unit of the Fifth Army, had no way to command these soldiers who belonged to the material transfer station in Wan Town, so they had no choice but to withdraw to their own Ford truck and wait for the road to be cleared before continuing to march towards Mandalay. "Xiaocheng, what's going on up ahead?" Huang Hanju had been protected by Hou San and the others, and he didn't know what was happening in front of the highway at all, and when he saw Tang Cheng returning to the truck with the bull, he asked urgently.

"What else can I do, the soldiers guarding the material truck made a mistake, and the Japanese spies who were mixed up on the highway pretended to be overseas Chinese and found an opportunity to send a signal to the Japanese fighters, otherwise we wouldn't have been bombed." Knowing that Huang Hanju was not a person who could fight, Tang Cheng did not say it in detail. "I see that the dead and wounded are basically civilians, and the trucks have also been destroyed, but the road should be cleared soon, I think it's best for us not to go on the same road with the brigade's vehicles, then the target will be too big, and it will attract the planes of the little devils."

Although the bomb dropped by the Japanese fighter plane just now did not blow up his Ford truck, Huang Hanju really appreciated Tang Cheng's reaction and ability, and since Tang Cheng had already said so, Huang Hanju did not have any objection. Under the strong command of the truck drivers and escort soldiers, the civilians on the road stopped crying and buried their relatives and friends, and helped the truck drivers clear the bombed-out vehicles on the road, and after three hours, they finally heard the long-lost roar of trucks.

"Let them go first, we are not in a hurry." Tang Cheng asked the driver to park the Ford truck on the side of the road first to get out of the road, and when the opposite convoy rumbled past, Tang Cheng asked the driver in the cab to start the truck and move forward slowly. "Brother-in-law, you and the Yanlong brothers get in the car first, Hou San, a few of you and I will protect the four sides of the truck, and after this section, let's get in the car again." Tang Cheng ignored the mess on the ground, and raised his rifle to warn the civilians on the other side.

Hou San and the others didn't know why Tang Cheng was here, but this was Tang Cheng's order, and since the order was given, they had to obey it. Tang Cheng and his team stopped and stopped until it was dark, only to find that a small village built by the water had appeared in front of the road. From a distance, there were still curling smoke wafting from the chimneys of several houses in the village, but after getting closer, Lin Tangcheng and the others could easily see that this place had completely become a temporary garrison for the army. A simple guard fortification has been erected on the edge of the village, with soldiers in national army uniforms coming and going, and trucks being repaired parked near the road.

At the relatively straight and wide intersection, several soldiers wearing German-style steel helmets and with a fairly neat appearance were checked with barbed wire racks and rudimentary wooden sentry posts. Judging from their cautious but not nervous expressions, Tang Cheng felt that they should not have been thrown to the front line for a while.

On the other hand, Tang Cheng and his gang, although they had not slept all night and were tired, they had the calmness of experiencing blood and rain in the dust and dust, and Hou San could not find a trace of slackness in the calm of their faces. "Stop, take your papers and check them." When Tang Cheng and his party jumped out of the truck and walked to them, the tall sentry with a Mauser rifle spoke in his indifferent southern tone, and raised a hand to signal Tang Cheng to stop and be examined.

The big soldier who spoke was obviously a veteran, probably smelling the smell of blood coming from Tang Cheng's body, and immediately made something to pull the bolt, and the shocked Tang Cheng involuntarily took a step back. "Don't mess around, we were bombed by Japanese planes halfway, and this blood is not alive." Tang Cheng took a step back and took his documents in his hand and explained loudly to the other party.
