After dinner, seeing that it was still early outside, Tang Cheng, who had changed into a military uniform, was instigated by George and a few of them to go out for a walk, and when Tang Cheng walked out of the Ledo Hospital, he saw the whole picture of this hospital clearly. It turned out that this hospital was only set up temporarily, just a circle was enclosed with a simple wooden fence in a vacant lot, and the ward where Tang Cheng was located was in a two-story building about 20 zhang long and wide, with a flat roof, which contained many wounded members of the expeditionary force. On the opposite side of the building is a row of low houses, which houses the pharmacy, operating room and doctor's office. Although the facilities here are rudimentary, it is the starting point of a new life for the soldiers of the expeditionary force who have traveled long distances.

The nurses and doctors who came and went in the hospital were busy, and no one noticed that Tang Cheng and the others, who were wearing brand new military uniforms, were actually their wounded. Walking out of the hospital, the sun was setting, and everyone's faces were red, just a few days ago, they were a group of ragged soldiers with no food in their stomachs, but now they are wearing full American military uniforms, and every day is canned biscuits.

If such a day was placed in the past, everyone would not dare to think about it, afraid that it was a dream, and when they woke up from the dream, there would still be nothing. But now after pinching my own or someone else's thigh, I found out that it was all true, there was no noise, no cheers, everyone just leaned quietly outside the hospital gate, quietly smoking a cigarette.

"Let's go, now that we're out, let's go around." After taking a puff of his own cigarette, Tang Cheng threw the cigarette butt in his hand and beckoned to George, who was calm. Ledo is not big, if it weren't for the rout soldiers who came out of the Savage Mountain to regard this place as a staging place, if it weren't for the troops stationed here, maybe Ledo wouldn't be known to the world at all. A few barefoot children were running and frolicking outside the hospital, adding a bit of noise to this originally quiet place, maybe it was Tang Cheng's own sake, he always raised someone to spy on him, and looked at each other's line of sight, Tang Cheng couldn't help but pause, it was a few national army soldiers sitting outside the hospital fence.

Following George around Ledo, Tang Cheng saw more and more Nationalist routs, most of whom were indifferent and dazed, and some of them were using their brute faces to cut through the entire alley or the entire street, so as to create the last bit of trouble for others. When they are touched, they cry out and shout in pain, so that others can recognize their existence, and in this way, they can also show their existence to others.

Compared with them, Tang Cheng can be regarded as full of vitality, brand new military uniforms, casual food, and now they still have the leisure to play in Lieduo. Seeing that Tang Cheng had been paying attention to the rout of the national army wandering in Ledo, George reached out and hugged Tang Cheng's shoulder, "You can be admitted to Ledo Hospital, that's all Mike's ability, if it weren't for Mike to contact the U.S. military observation team, those arrogant British military doctors in the hospital would never cure you, after all, you are just a little captain, in their eyes, the captain is not an officer." ”

Tang Cheng was not angry because of George's words, on the contrary, he kept thinking about George's words, and when he returned to the hospital, Tang Cheng secretly paid attention to the faces of those British doctors and nurses, and sure enough, it was the same as what George said, when those big noses looked at his people, there was disdain and dissatisfaction in his eyes. There is no way, in George's words, India is occupied by the British, and the most numerous are the British army, and if Tang Cheng wants to do something, he can't avoid the British army.

"If only Albert and the others were still alive." Tang Cheng, who was lying on the hospital bed, suddenly missed Albert, who had died in the jungle. Tang Cheng really couldn't ignore the rout of the national army wandering around Ledo, those people had also walked through the Savage Mountain, but now he had no ability to help them. With a bang, the chandelier in Tang Cheng's ward immediately began to shake, but after a little trance, Tang Cheng on the hospital bed had already turned over and got out of bed and got under the bed.

"Boom" is another explosion, listening to the movement of the explosion should be a heavy artillery, at least it will not be worse than the Japanese army's 75 mountain guns, listening to the explosion is still far from here, Tang Cheng, who was drilled under the hospital bed, only then did Shi Shiran climb out. "Go to George and get our guns down." Tang Cheng was wearing a military uniform, Hou San, who was also awakened by the explosion, pushed the door and walked in, seeing that the corridor was full of panicked doctors and nurses who were startled by the explosion, Tang Cheng arranged for Hou San to go to George's room to get a gun.

After putting on the military uniform and taking the carbine handed by Hou San, Tang Cheng had some confidence in his heart. "George, you go to the director of the hospital and tell them not to panic, and the third brother and I will go out to see the situation." Although he didn't know what was going on, Tang Cheng couldn't sit idly by and watch the panic in the hospital, so he immediately asked George to go to the director of the hospital, and he took Hou San and a few of them to walk outside the hospital with guns.

There was another explosion, and a fire rose a few hundred meters away from the hospital, and under the cover of the firelight, Tang Cheng saw in the telescope that a house collapsed in the firelight. "What's going on?" When Tang Cheng led everyone out of the hospital, he happened to see a group of British soldiers holding torches coming on the road, so Tang Cheng stopped one at random and asked about the situation. Ledo was the territory of the British army, and these British troops naturally knew what was going on, and Tang Cheng asked a few words in English to figure out what was happening.

It turned out that it was not only the rout of the expeditionary force that retreated from the Savage Mountain, but also the Japanese troops who kept chasing the expeditionary force in the jungle all the way, although I don't know how many Japanese troops were chasing Ledo, but two of the several fixed batteries built by the British army on the periphery of Ledo had already fallen into the hands of those Japanese soldiers, and the shelling just now was the Japanese army controlling the fort bombarding Ledo. The group of British soldiers who had been stopped by Tang Cheng were going to a military warehouse on the west side of Ledo at this moment, and in order to prevent the Japanese from seizing the weapons and ammunition inside, they were now going to burn the warehouse.

When he heard that Ledo had a weapon warehouse here, Hou San stared at Tang Cheng with bright eyes, and saw the appearance of an old wine drunkard alive. Of course, Tang Cheng had already seen Hou San's hint, so he pulled George, who had just walked out of the hospital, over, and persuaded the British second lieutenant who led the team to find their commander here. "Don, no, that warehouse belongs to the British army, we are not their people, your idea is simply impossible." George tried his best to dissuade Tang Cheng, and George knew very well what it meant to be between Tang Cheng and Hou San.

But Tang Cheng didn't care about these at all, and kept waiting for the British soldiers to come to their lieutenant colonel commander named Wallace, Tang Cheng stretched out his hand and pulled George in front of him. "George, you tell them, we will help them burn the arsenal, they can return or leave, and I will help them hold Liedo." Tang Cheng, who was a little anxious, simply changed his mind and robbed it, these materials were very important to him, and with these things, he could help those national troops scattered in Ledo.

Tang Cheng pretended not to know English, and allowed George to negotiate with the lieutenant colonel named Wallace, but no matter what George said, the British lieutenant colonel named Wallace just shook his head. "Don, Wallace said that there were too many Japanese troops on the outskirts of Ledo, and that the British troops stationed here were about to evacuate, so that the warehouse must be burned. He had received an order from the British command not to let the supplies in the warehouse fall into the hands of the Japanese army, and he said that he admired your courage very much, but he thought that you could not hold Liedo, because the Japanese army was too numerous. ”

"What a fucking order, a bullshit order, how do you know that Lao Tzu can't hold here if you haven't beaten it." Tang Cheng was like a fighting, jumping up and down and scolding, looking stupid at the British soldiers and Wallace, not knowing what was wrong with this Chinese officer. Tang Cheng, who was furious, stretched out his hand and pointed to the fire rising in the distance, "George, you sue him, as long as they provide me with weapons and ammunition, I will clean up the Japanese troops outside Ledo for them." The final credit for killing many Japanese soldiers is his, and I just need him to provide me with weapons, ammunition and enough supplies. ”

Although he didn't know why Tang Cheng was so serious, George still told Tang Cheng's words to Wallace, who first frowned and expressed surprise, and then began to question Tang Cheng's statement with a suspicious face. "Lieutenant Colonel, do you know how many of Ledo's routs belong to the expeditionary force now?" Tang Cheng was already impatient to use George to translate his words, so he took the initiative to ask Wallace in English, "They are all veterans who have fought with the Japanese army, you only need to replace the weapons, ammunition and supplies for me, and I will be responsible for organizing them to deal with the Japanese troops on the periphery of Ledo." ”

Seeing that Wallace was silent, Tang Cheng knew that the other party had already moved, so he continued, "That warehouse of yours is ready to be burned, so instead of burning it, it is better to provide it to me." Whether I can hold Ledo or not, this does not violate the orders you received, the warehouse and its contents did not fall into the hands of the Japanese army, did it? ”

"Are you really sure you're going to do this?" Wallace subconsciously glanced at Tang Cheng's carbine, which was already flat in their hands, and only subconsciously asked Tang Cheng a rhetorical question. Faced with Tang Cheng's insistence, Wallace, who was anxious to leave Ledo, finally nodded. "Captain, I don't have the authority to hand over that warehouse or its supplies to you, and that warehouse must be burned down. However, I'm going to go and pack up what I'm going to take from the headquarters now, and maybe in half an hour, I'll send soldiers to burn down the warehouse. ”

Tang Cheng naturally understood the meaning of Wallace's words, and thanked Wallace first, and then called Hou San, who was still confused, and a few of them together. "The British army is retreating, but we can't go, there are still so many brothers from the national army here. From now on, we have half an hour to move things from the British warehouse, and as long as we have enough weapons and ammunition, it will not be difficult to hold Leddo. ”
