Chapter 101: Crisis Comes

Tang Cheng and Mike waited anxiously all night, and the next day, when everyone was being forced by Tang Cheng to resume training, Huang Hanju, who had taken the train to Ramga, finally contacted Mike by radio. The reason why Michael couldn't contact Stilwell for a week in a row was mainly because this stubborn old man flew to Chongqing to meet the chairman of the committee.

The U.S. military detachment was Stilwell's treasure, but after they went deep into northern Burma alone, Stilwell began to suffer a little bit of gains and losses. Fearing that the U.S. detachment would be besieged by the Japanese army, Stilwell tried his best to promote the expeditionary force's plan to cross the Nam Rong River and attack the Hukang Valley. As with the results of the last fruitless discussions, the Chinese generals continued to emphasize the problem of the rainy season, believing that only by waiting for the end of the rainy season and confronting the Japanese troops on the line of the Nam Rong River could they have a chance to move south.

Stilwell's desire to control is very strong, and it is precisely because of this that he will force Luo Zhuoying out of the expeditionary force and return to Chongqing, this time he flew to Chongqing to meet the chairman of the committee, Chiang Kai-shek, Stilwell still had this idea, he wanted Chiang Kai-shek to order Sun Liren and them to agree to his plan to go south. Although Chiang Kai-shek cannot be regarded as a qualified military strategist, he also led troops during the Northern Expedition, and he already knew what kind of mind this Stilwell was, and where would Chiang Kai-shek agree to Stilwell's request. Chiang Kai-shek neither agreed nor objected, and after a Tai Chi fight, Stilwell stayed in Chongqing for two weeks in vain.

The direct company was nominally under the direct command of the Ramgar Command, but the people in the actual Command did not take this small army of more than 200 people as a thing, and the telegram sent by Mike to the Ramgar had already been received by the Command, but everyone who knew about the matter coincidentally chose to put it aside first, waiting for Stilwell to come back and then solve it themselves. Stilwell was not in Lamgar, and Tang Cheng and they were regarded as not existing, and Huang Hanju rushed from Ledo to Lamgar, and this matter was only known to Zheng Dongguo.

"Is it still a harassment of the Japanese army? That's what we're doing. "I don't know if Zheng Dongguo contacted Stilwell, but a few hours later, Mike received a new order from the Ramgar command to leave the current valley and reconnoiter the area around the new Pingyang while looking for an opportunity to attack the Japanese army." This is to use us as guerrillas" After reading the telegram, Tang Cheng frowned slightly dissatisfied, asking them to launch an attack on the Japanese army in Xinpingyang in advance, which is not a good sign.

"What else can I do, this is an order, and when an order comes, it is natural to obey." Mike was also very helpless, seeing that the rainy season would end in more than half a month, Lamgar's side had not made a decision on whether to attack Xinpingyang, and once they were besieged by the Japanese army, their more than 200 people would be in trouble. Fortunately, I have enough supplies here now, so it's a big deal to take the Japanese army around in circles in the jungle, anyway, Lamgar doesn't pay much attention to the direct company.

After all, since the order of the command has come, in the end, it is necessary to act according to the order, and at dinner, Tang Cheng informed the officers of the content of the heart's order, and everyone's reaction was different, but no one said that they would disobey the order. After careful discussion with Mike, Tang Cheng made the decision to leave the valley in three days, these three days were reserved for the soldiers to sort out their equipment, and the weapons that had not been used for many days also needed to be properly maintained.

The continuous rainfall in the rainy season seems to baptize this jungle that has killed countless lives, and the sudden new jungle suddenly bursts out after the rain with countless small flowers, grasses, and green leaves with water droplets, which makes people feel uncomfortable. But after the rain, the dense shrubs, the slippery and muddy ground, and the increasing number of snakes and insects made Tang Cheng and them exhausted, although the road they walked under their feet now was something they had already walked once, but Tang Cheng still spent more time than when they came to search for the wooden houses they saw at the beginning.

Perhaps due to the rainy season, or the negligence of the Japanese army, the perimeter of these wooden houses, where Japanese soldiers used to appear from time to time, is now very quiet. Tang Cheng wanted to attack these wooden houses last time, if it weren't for the fact that there were always Japanese soldiers outside the wooden houses, Tang Cheng would not have chosen to give up at that time, but now it's okay, the machine gun positions outside these wooden houses have been withdrawn, except for some barbed wire fences on the periphery, Tang Cheng can no longer see what defensive means the Japanese army has arranged.

After a brief discussion, while it was already dark, Tang Cheng took Hou San and the dice to approach, and he was ready to go in and walk in person. Still used the old method, in the worried eyes of everyone, the three of Tang Cheng put on grass branches and shrub branches and leaves used for camouflage, as long as they lay on the ground and did not move, no one would recognize that there were three big living people under the grass branches. Slowly crawling forward, the three of Tang Cheng slowly climbed to the edge of the barbed wire, which was at the back of one of the wooden houses, which was basically a blind spot in sight.

The three of them lay quietly on the barbed wire for a few moments, until they could make sure that there were no dogs and Japanese soldiers walking around freely on the inside of the barbed wire, and then they gently clamped the wire with the iron tongs they carried with them. The barbed wire fence was broken through a gap, Tang Cheng and the three of them threw off the camouflage on their bodies and climbed in quietly, the barbed wire was still more than thirty meters away from the nearest wooden house, and the three of them trotted forward all the way, and the night and grass covered their whereabouts very well.

The three of them leaned against the back window of the room and stood for a moment, listening intently to make sure there was no sound in the room. The dice quickly glanced through the window into the cabin, where there was no one but a radio station that filled one wall. Seeing the series of sign language played by the dice, Tang Cheng was ecstatic, this time he was fishing for a big guy, if he could capture the Japanese army's cipher code book, it would be a lot of fun.

Tang Cheng nodded to Hou San beside him, who slowly took out his razor and squatted in front of the window, the dice were already flattened at this time, and the submachine gun in his hand was squatting in the corner of the wooden house, alerting the Japanese soldiers who might appear from other directions. The sharpened razor was inserted into the crack of the window and slowly went up, and the bolt on the inside of the window also moved upward, and with a slight noise, the wooden sash broke free and bounced out.

Hou San bit the bayonet with his mouth, reached out to support the bottom of the window sash, and slowly opened the window with dark energy, trying not to make a sound from the window sash. Underneath the window was a wooden single bed, through which the three of them climbed in turn and stepped on the wooden bed to the ground. Tang Cheng looked around carefully, there were no superfluous items in the wooden house, which was not very large, except for the radio station and the bed. It's just that there is a graduation photo of the Tokyo Imperial Army University hanging on the wooden wall behind the radio station, and looking at the neat and neat appearance of the room, the owner of this wooden house should be the Japanese officer in the photo.

Tang Cheng and Hou San were busy rummaging through the code book, and the dice with submachine guns stood against the window, carefully alerting to the movement outside. In the end, Hou San's eyes fell on the photo on the wall, walked over and reached out to point the photo frame, and spat on it hatefully. "Third brother, you came over to help the handle find the devil's cipher version together!" Hou San's actions made Tang Cheng speechless, so he had to suppress his voice and shout.

"Find a fart, Lao Tzu is illiterate." Hou San replied to Tang Cheng, walked to the side of the wooden bed, grabbed the neatly stacked quilt of the owner of the wooden bed, and began to wipe his military boots full of mud and water.

"It's just a pamphlet, it should be written with numbers......" Tang Cheng was gesturing at Hou San, but suddenly there was the sound of a car outside the wooden house, and a dog barking. A jeep braked in the courtyard. A young Japanese second lieutenant got out of the car, his face neat, two belts crossed through his chest, a briefcase in his left crotch, and a pistol holster in the shape of a king in his right crotch. A large, shiny wolfdog jumped out of the car, barking wildly into the house, and might have rushed into the house if it weren't for the leash in the second lieutenant's hand.

The dice standing by the window turned his head to look at Tang Cheng, the submachine gun in his hand was already aimed at the Japanese second lieutenant outside the wooden house at the moment, as long as Tang Cheng nodded, he could fire at any time. Mike and the others, who were waiting outside the barbed wire, also noticed something abnormal, and were moving forward in unison, ready to support and receive Tang Cheng and the three of them to withdraw. The big dog outside the wooden house was still barking, and was scolded twice by the Japanese second lieutenant who led the dog, and then finally quieted down, but he still frequently looked at the wooden house where the three of them were hiding in Tang City.

Some Japanese soldiers came out of other wooden houses and saluted the Japanese second lieutenant who led the dog, listening to his dog's barking was not normal, and the Japanese second lieutenant who led the dog frowned. Perhaps because they had never been in contact with the enemy before, they were all overlooked at the potential danger, and the Japanese second lieutenant who led the dog thought that his dog was just hungry or thirsty, and immediately asked one of the Japanese soldiers to lead the dog to feed it. Mike, who was lurking outside the barbed wire, kept sweating for the three Tang Cheng people, and watched the devil ensign enter the wooden house, but the three Tang Cheng people who entered the wooden house never came out of the back window, and Mike's nervous heart was already hanging in his throat.

There was a clear hierarchy in the Japanese army, and the officers' rooms were not something that ordinary soldiers could enter and leave casually, even if they were fellow villagers or soldiers of the same year. It was precisely because of this that the three Tang Cheng people in the wooden house were given a chance to live, and as soon as the second lieutenant who led the dog entered his wooden house, he had already discovered something abnormal. The muddy water on the boots of the three people in Tang Cheng was the biggest flaw, but the moment the second lieutenant closed the door, Hou San, who was hiding behind the door, had already smashed his fist on the Adam's apple of the Japanese second lieutenant, and these heavy punches made the Japanese second lieutenant unable to scream.
