Chapter 8 Encountering the Enemy on the Way

"Mother, I'm hungry, Xiaolian wants to eat cakes." After Old Man Han reprimanded his daughter-in-law, the people in the two carriages were silent, and only Xiaolian, who woke up in a bed, broke everyone's silence. The child is innocent, tossing all the way, Xiaolian's stomach has long been hungry, it can be seen that her grandfather and father are all calm, and the little girl is just obediently nested in the mattress and sleeps with her eyes closed, this will be really hungry, so she will cry out to eat.

"Uncle Han, the child is hungry, let's take a rest and then hurry, everyone eat something and drink some water." Turning his head to look at Xiaolian, who was hiding in his mother's arms, Tang Cheng smiled and asked Han Shanhu to stop the car, and Liu Shishi jumped off the bus station and moved their bodies on the side of the road. Han Shanhu and Lao Dongbei, who went to the county seat overnight and returned to Yongxing Village overnight, were already full of fatigue, only Liu Shishi, who was walking to the county seat and returning to Yongxing Village in a sleeping carriage, was in a slightly better spirit.

Although Tang Cheng lacked the little finger on his feet, when he walked, Tang Cheng was still very uncomfortable by the pain in his feet. Fortunately, the herbs recruited by Old Man Han were very effective, and the wound on Tang Cheng's toe had already scabbed, otherwise if he was so active, it was estimated that his military shoes would have been soaked in blood. Tang Cheng took Liu Shi to climb the high slope for nothing else, he wanted to cut some branches and shrubs with Liu Shi to go back, it was never a good sign to meet Japanese fighters on the way, Tang Cheng thought about using branches and shrubs to make some camouflage for the carriage, at least it would have some effect when avoiding Japanese fighters.

Liu Shishi didn't know what Tang Cheng was asking him to do, and when he learned that Tang Cheng was asking him to cut down branches and shrubs with a bayonet, Liu Shishi couldn't help but pout to express his dissatisfaction. "Your kid has just eaten a full meal for a few days and doesn't know what it's like to be hungry, not only are people sitting on the carriage, but also pulling dry food on the road, if the carriage is destroyed by the Japanese plane, what are you going to eat?" Tang Cheng reached out angrily to knock Liu Shishi's head, who knew that Liu Shishi had been on guard against him for a long time, Liu Shishi dodged backwards, and Tang Cheng, who had used too much force, almost fell on the slope directly.

In front of Tang Cheng, Liu Shishi didn't dare to laugh, but when he turned around and cut the branches with his bayonet, the constantly swaying shoulders had already revealed the joy in his heart at this time. couldn't help but glared at Liu Shishi fiercely, Tang Cheng, who had a tingling pain in the back of his head, didn't pay attention to Liu Shishi, but turned around and climbed a stone on the slope, and built a pergola in front of his eyes with his hand to look into the distance. In the end, the place where the Yangtze River is driven into the past, it is all verdant green, unlike last year when Tang Cheng was in Bengbu, their eyes were full of pale yellow.

"What are you doing?" Tang Cheng, who was still intoxicated, was suddenly dragged down from the stone by Liu Shishi, and Tang Cheng, who had not yet reacted, only said three words, and was covered by Liu Shishi's mouth. There was someone on the other side of the bushes, and Liu Shishi had already pulled out the shell gun on his waist, and reported the abnormality he had found to Tang Cheng with his mouth. Tang Cheng was also shocked, the old northeast and they were resting at the bottom of the slope at this time, if they were all adults, it would be okay to say, but they also had two children, if something happened to the children, Tang Cheng might not be able to forgive himself for the rest of his life.

"You go down, tell Uncle Han that they are all hidden behind the carriage, and I'll go over and take a look." Tang Cheng gestured at Liu Shishi, and seeing that Liu Shishi didn't want to leave, Tang Cheng couldn't help but glare. If Tang Cheng's glaring at Liu Shishi just now was just a joke, then his eyes now were clearly full of murderous intent, Liu Shishi couldn't resist Tang Cheng's insistence, so he had to grit his teeth and hurry down the grassy slope. No matter who is behind the bushes, Tang Cheng must be careful, when he was a child, he followed Robert to travel around, Tang Cheng had seen too many scenes of hungry people gathering to make trouble, and that kind of scene would never be something that a few of them could fight.

Pulling out the shell gun on his waist, Tang Cheng left all the things that were in the way next to the big rock, anyway, he only had these two full magazines on him, and Tang Cheng even untied the two holsters. Tang Cheng, carrying a shell gun, lightly touched the back of a low tree, and with the help of the shrub growing at the root of the tree as a cover, he looked through the branches of the bush that was not too lush to look into the field on the other side of the grassy slope.

The slope that Tang Cheng was on was like an abrupt bulge, Tang Cheng was on this side of the uplift, but the person who was inadvertently discovered by Liu Shishi was on the side of the bulge, and Tang Cheng, who was squatting on the side of the bushes, happened to be at the highest point of the uplift, and these few trees that were not lush provided cover for Tang Cheng, so that he would not be discovered by the people on the side of the bulge. Liu Shishi saw it right, there were indeed people on the other side of the bushes, and what caught Tang Cheng's sight was about a dozen men, probably tired of walking, and these men dressed as ordinary people were sitting in the field to rest at this time.

The place where those people gathered was still more than 100 meters away from Tang City, and Tang Cheng could only see their approximate number clearly, but he couldn't see their appearances. Tang Cheng behind the bushes secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, those men were still some distance away from this side, and besides, they were the upwind position, otherwise they would have heard the movement here. Tang Cheng was still secretly rejoicing, and suddenly heard a horse roar from the bottom of the slope, Tang Cheng immediately made a bitter face, this is the end.

Tang Cheng on the top of the slope was worried, and the old northeast under the slope had already glared at Han Shanhu who was feeding the horses water, and Han Shanhu was also entangled in his face, sitting or standing, who knew that it was just a horse pulling a cart that would neigh when drinking water. didn't have time to say more, the old northeast who knew something bad told Liu Shishi to protect the people of the Han family, but he turned out a few grenades from the carriage and pinned them to the belt around his waist, and then grabbed his rifle and ran towards the top of the slope.

"Uncle Han, don't follow to make trouble, you hurry up and connect the carriage with Brother Han, and the sister-in-law and the child hide under the carriage." Seeing that Old Man Han was about to chase Old Man Northeast uphill with his shotgun, Liu Shishi hurriedly stopped Old Man Han who was full of urgency, and persuaded him to go down the slope. "You just put a hundred hearts, our company commander killed not a hundred but eighty little devils, and besides, it is to deal with a group of homeless people, so as not to make you so nervous, maybe they will come back soon."

Liu Shishi, who had seen the cruelty of the battlefield, had an almost blind confidence in Tang Cheng in his bones, and a bad battle like Mengcheng Beishan failed to kill Tang Cheng, Liu Shishi didn't believe that just a group of homeless people he found could do anything to Tang Cheng. The sudden sound of gunshots on the top of the slope broke Liu Shishi's composure, not only the father and son of the Han family, but even Liu Shishi, who was swearing just now, couldn't help but change his face, what he saw through the bushes just now was clearly a group of homeless people dressed as ordinary people, why did he still shoot?

It was Tang Cheng who was squatting by the bushes who shot the shot, and the neighing of the mules and horses under the slope was also heard by the dozen or so men sitting in the field. The men who were being watched by Tang Cheng suddenly seemed to be a different person, and instantly changed from sitting together to scattering, the actions of these men in front of him made Tang Cheng have a familiar feeling, and when the few men on both sides of the run pulled out their rifles from their respective luggage rolls, Tang Cheng suddenly realized that the current formation of these guys was the standard skirmisher line.

There were a total of 15 people, and the men who showed their weapons instantly widened the distance between them and their companions, but Tang Cheng had the opportunity to determine the number of the other party. Ten of the 15 guys approaching the slope had rifles, and the remaining five men were holding two 50-millimeter grenadiers, the most familiar Japanese in Tangcheng. "This is not a goddamn outcast, but a Japanese soldier infiltrated by makeup." Tang Cheng couldn't help but curse, and then pulled the hammer of the barge gun away, and he had to fight here.

It is said that the marksmanship of the Japanese soldiers is accurate, but Tang Cheng is worried about the two grenadiers, although there are not many trees on the top of the slope, but they are enough to provide cover for Tang Cheng to fight melee with these Japanese soldiers, in close combat, the 20 shell guns in Tang Cheng's hands are far more real than the Japanese army's 38 rifles. The timely arrival of the old northeast also made Tang Cheng feel a little relieved, and the surprise sneak attack might be able to take the initiative, as long as the grenadiers of this group of Japanese soldiers were knocked out first, their side might not have no chance of winning.

The speed of the Japanese soldiers dressed as civilians was very fast, perhaps because they did not expect that there were gunners hiding behind the trees a hundred meters away from them, and the Japanese soldiers who rushed to the top of the slope did not make normal evasive actions as stipulated in the infantry drill code, but rushed straight to the top of the slope with their waists straight. Tang Cheng had already adjusted the shell gun to a single-shot state, and he didn't dare to shoot all the bullets at once with only 40 pistol bullets, and his two shell guns were the only means to suppress the Japanese rifles.

Tang Cheng fired three shots in a row, and three of the Japanese soldiers who were only a dozen meters away from the bushes fell, and the grenadiers they were carrying also fell next to the corpses. "Bang" Lao Dongbei, who was hiding under another tree, also fired immediately, and a guy with a short gun was hit in the chest by a bullet shot by Lao Dongbei, and his body fell to the ground with a whirl. The Japanese soldiers who were attacked immediately lay down on the spot and raised their guns to shoot back, but the place where they were in Tangcheng was covered by trees, and their terrain was slightly higher than the field where the Japanese soldiers were lying in ambush, and the bullets of the Japanese soldiers who returned fire did not hit Tangcheng and the old northeast.

The condescending old Northeast was busy firing again and again, but Tang Cheng was just staring at the location where the two grenadiers fell, only a dozen meters away, and the two Japanese soldiers who wanted to retrieve the grenadiers in a row were all overturned by Tang Cheng in the field. Tang Cheng eliminated 5 people on the other side with one face, and the old northeast side shot the first bullet bridge, and also hit 3 people on the other side, and the other party now only has 7 people left walking on both wings. The 2-on-7 battle situation emboldened Tang Cheng, and he glanced at the loaded old northeast, and Tang Cheng, who was carrying a shell gun, went to the left flank at the top of the slope.
