Chapter Seventy-Five: Died in War
Tang Cheng carried the reloaded rifle along the grassy slope to the open area below, although he saw the earthy yellow figure of the Japanese army walking westward, but Tang Cheng's nerves were still tight, for fear that another Japanese soldier would pop out of the grass. "Click...... Click! Just as Tang Cheng was secretly rejoicing, a fierce gunfire suddenly sounded from the side of the open field.
Tang Cheng immediately jumped up from the invisible grass and quickly ran to the foot of the mountain with his rifle in his hand. "Who's shooting? What's the situation? Tang Cheng, who rushed down the grass slope, crouched down and asked a new 22nd Division that had just broken out of the grass nest. The other party was the same as Tang Cheng who had just rushed down the hill, and how could he know what was going on in the open field, so he had to wave his hand at Tang Cheng again and again to show that he didn't know.
"You stay here, watch out for the Japanese soldiers who slip through the net." Tang Cheng gestured at the rout of the new 22nd Division, and then bent over with his rifle in his hand and cautiously moved in the direction where the gunfire was heard. After running through several craters one after another, Tang Cheng and Hou San, who had come out of the grass, gathered together, and then, they saw the rock dragon. Seeing Yanlong, Tang Cheng and Hou San noticed the light machine gun and three Japanese corpses at Yanlong's feet.
The three Japanese soldiers, apparently killed at the hands of Iwalong, were almost beaten into a sieve, one was hit in the chest by a bullet, and a large hole was burst out of his back. The other two were unfortunately shot in the brain. The forehead went in and out of the back of the head, and the huge impact lifted off the small half of the head, and the red puddle on the ground was blood, and the white was brain. "Wow......" Hou San couldn't help but contribute the inventory in his stomach to the earth. It wasn't the first time Tang Cheng had seen such a disgusting scene, but he felt sick at the moment, but he resisted the unhappiness in his olfactory and gustatory systems.
Hearing a voice behind him, the rock dragon who was sitting in a daze reflexively turned his gun in the direction from which the sound came. Tang Cheng saw that Yanlong was aiming his gun at him, and secretly thought "it's broken", so he hurriedly pulled Hou San behind him and lay down on the ground. "Click!" The light machine gun in Yan Long's hand made the sound of an empty gun hanging up, and there were no bullets in the machine gun magazine, and the bullets in the magazine had already been shot into the body of the Japanese soldier by Yan Long.
"You're crazy, it's us." Being dragged by Tang Cheng to the ground, Hou San reacted, especially the sound of the empty gun hanging up just now shocked the cold sweat in Hou Sanyi's head. A forward pounce, Hou San threw the rock dragon to the ground, as if he had lost his mind and gone crazy, the rock dragon struggled under Hou San, and instinctively pulled out the short knife on his waist and stabbed it at Hou San's waist. Tang Cheng, who pounced on him later, hurriedly clasped his hand and pressed Yanlong's hand holding the knife under him.
Tengfei and Zhao Liang also rushed over, and when they saw that Yanlong was stabbing Hou San with a knife, they were all taken aback, and immediately pounced. It wasn't until Yanlong was slapped hard by Tang Cheng, who came back to his senses, that he finally recovered from his delirious state. "Sir, my brother is dead, and Huzi is dead." Yan Long, who was slapped by Tang Cheng, cried "wow". In the panic just now, Yan Long was grazed by a bullet and flew through his neck, leaving a scar, which was regarded as picking up a life, but Yan Hu was not as lucky as him.
"I know, I know, Huzi is good." Seeing that Yanlong had somewhat regained his senses, Tang Cheng cautiously comforted him, and waved away Hou San and the others who were gathered here. The light machine gun, which had run out of bullets, was thrown next to the rock dragon, but the latter was still sitting blankly next to the rock tiger's corpse, staring at the rock tiger with his eyes still staring at him. Tang Cheng and the others finally had to face the death of their own people, and Yan Hu had been shot in at least four times, but the most lethal one was the one that hit him in the face. The bullet entered the cheek of the rock tiger and drilled out from the back of the head, and the blood-red bone fragment a few meters away from the rock tiger's body was the back of the rock tiger's skull.
Tang Cheng couldn't use words to comfort Yan Long, who was sitting here, so he had to reach out and gently pat Yan Long's shoulder, and then turned his gaze to the open ground that he hadn't looked at closely. Dozens of Japanese corpses lay in the open field, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke and blood. The routs who returned to the open ground began to weep bitterly over the mutilated bodies of their sacrificial comrades, and although they had long been prepared to accept the sacrifice, they could not help but weep bitterly when they saw their robes that had begun to turn cold.
No one spoke, and there was a smell of sadness in the air. Tang Cheng's mind was still deeply imprinted with the situation when the rock tiger was shot. Perhaps both sides were a little tired and needed time to lick their wounds, and the dice that were chasing the Japanese army to search also returned, saying that the Japanese army had withdrawn quickly and was nowhere to be found. Tang Cheng's side lost seven team members today, including Yan Hu, and almost all of them who were still alive had scars on their bodies. Everyone's mental state is very bad now, in the state of fighting without backup, everyone's spirit is highly tense, and the blood makes everyone numb and sluggish. And the grief of losing their companions made their hearts sink even more.
"We lost seven brothers today, and although we won in the end, our dead brothers are no longer alive, are you afraid now?" Tang Cheng looked around at the others who were a little depressed and asked slowly. The dice stared at the sniper rifle in their hands as always, and the expressionless rock dragon fiddled with his short knife. The brute had already been wounded by several gunshot wounds, and a stray bullet had made its home in his calf, and the medic had to dig out the bullet with a knife, but fortunately the bullet was not too deep. Tang Cheng knew that he must not be too pessimistic, and he must not let the team members be silent in sadness, otherwise the team would be completely dispersed.
"Sir, no one here is a bad seed, if our people die, we must pay back the lives of the little devils, if we die one, the little devils will die ten." Hou San almost gritted his teeth and said these words, and his words attracted nods and approvals from the others, and even George couldn't help but wave his fists along with him.
"It's certainly right to want to seek revenge on the Japanese army, but can you do it in your current state of mind? Yes, they were sacrificed, but they were all brave warriors who died in battle. I have long said that the battlefield is the fate of a warrior, and in the face of death, no warrior will choose to retreat. Maybe I will die next, but before I die, I will kill enough Japanese devils to bury me, and I will not let myself or my sacrificed brother shed blood in vain. I will not be pessimistic and lose faith because of their sacrifices, on the contrary, I will kill more enemies in their honor, and the blood of each of them must be repaid with ten times the blood of the enemy. Tang Cheng twisted his face and gritted his teeth.
"Bury the dead on the spot!" Encouraging everyone to regain their confidence, Tang Cheng held back the pain in his heart and said. With their current conditions, it is impossible to bring the body of Yanhu back to China, so they can only choose to be buried temporarily in this foreign land. "If there is a future. I promise to welcome you back to your homeland in style. Standing in front of the humble tomb, Tang Cheng swore in his heart, "Salute!" Those who were still alive stood in a neat procession in front of the new grave and solemnly raised their hands in salute.
Since the people who were still alive had decided to seek revenge on the Japanese army, Tang Cheng, the commander, naturally had nothing to say, and when everyone else was busy checking the weapons and ammunition on the corpses of the Japanese soldiers, Tang Cheng gathered Hou San and the dice together and discussed in a whisper what to do next. "It seems that it is not safe here, although the Japanese army who attacked us just now has retreated, but they will come again. They retreated just now because they couldn't figure out our reality, and once they brought in heavy weapons, we couldn't stop them at all, so it was necessary to transfer. ”
"I searched the bottom of the mountain just now, and judging from the footprints left by the little devils, they went west." The dice opened his mouth and said, "I just can't figure out one thing, obviously there are more people in the little devils than us, but why did they suddenly retreat, if it were me, they would definitely not retreat so lightly."
"This is not difficult to explain, it has always been the Japanese army chasing us in the woods, we are tired, and they are the same. The people in our army who can survive in the forest are all veterans, although the weapons and ammunition are not as good as the little devils, but there are a lot of recruits among them, once they encounter our strong counterattack, the recruits in the little devil army will definitely not be able to carry it, you take a closer look at these corpses on the ground, there are many of them are little devils' military Cao, Wu elders or something, without these veterans, do you think their recruits dare to continue to fight with us? So we have to move immediately, maybe we can ambush them halfway. Tang Cheng said with certainty.
Under Tang Cheng's strong order, the people who had simply cleaned the battlefield forced themselves to eat something, people are iron and steel, and if they don't eat, they won't have enough body to meet the Japanese army that may come. After the chaotic battle, the 15 people stood neatly in front of Tang Cheng, but fortunately, the injuries on Manniu's body were not very serious, otherwise Tang Cheng would not know how to treat the seriously injured in such a place. "We have 7 brothers buried here, and our people can't die in vain, so we went to the Japanese army to take revenge." After a few simple words, Tang Cheng gave the order to set off.
There are no roads in the mountains and forests at all, most of them are full of various trees and vines and shrubs, Yanlong and Dice Man acted as scouts for the front, Hou San took Zhao Liang to be arranged to guard the city, and the military doctor, George and the only remaining female soldiers walked in the middle, and they were Tang Cheng and Tan Fei in front of them. There was no decent road in the mountains and forests, and in fact, Yanlong would not choose to take the main road, which would have a better chance of encountering the enemy, and Tang Cheng only gave the order for them to search westward.
