Chapter Ninety-One: Assault

The sunset finally sank down the mountain, the last red glow in the sky slowly dissipated, and the abrupt peaks in the distance finally dimmed. The wind blew, and in the poignant dusk of the jungle peaks in the distance, the dimming of the light made the twilight more and more intense. The soldiers on both sides of the Red Clay Plains ushered in the darkness of the land again, and then waited carefully and vigilantly for the dawn in the long, cold night.

As the sun sets, the wind gets colder and the temperature gets cooler, and there is an unbearable chill on the high ground at dusk due to the inability to move. Although the wind blows like this, although it is not violent, the heat on the body disappears with the wind, and the skin naturally shrinks to save the heat from being dissipated, so even the goosebumps on the back of the hands are layer after layer, which is very uncomfortable. Tang Cheng began to hold his luck, tensing the muscles around his body, then relaxing, tensing again, and then relaxing. After doing this more than a dozen times, he feels much better now. This is the method that the dice taught Tang Cheng, and it is said that this method was figured out by the bandits while waiting for the robbery, at least to warm up their bodies.

Entering the contact range of the walkie-talkie, the contact between Tang Cheng and Mike became more and more frequent, and after learning that Mike had detected the Japanese army and took action, Tang Cheng, who followed the Japanese army's baggage team, did not return to the camp to join Mike. At this time, even if they go back, they can't help much, but hide behind the Japanese army first, maybe they will find an opportunity to attack the other side again.

Worried that there would be problems with the ammunition and supplies of Tang Cheng and the others, while the Japanese army had not yet surrounded the camp, Mike sent a squad of strong soldiers to send ammunition and supplies to Tang Cheng and them, and the snipers that the dice repeatedly emphasized also followed. "You guys are really good, this thing is dead, you just brought it here, and you are not afraid of being discovered by the Japanese army." A few guys who were asked by Tang Cheng laughed, and behind them, there was an American-style M2 heavy machine gun.

The M2 heavy machine gun plus the tripod, the total weight is more than 58 kg, plus those boxes of bullets, which makes Tang Cheng cry and laugh. "You'd better carry it back again, this thing is good, it's just too useless bullet, once the bullet runs out, we can't take it with us. Go back and tell Commander Mike that the camp is guarded, and we will find an opportunity to harass the Japanese camp. Knowing that the camp received another batch of airdrops yesterday, Tang Cheng understood why Mike was so generous, there are now 4 M2 heavy machine guns in the camp, and there are even more bullets than afraid of wasting.

Leaving three snipers and 2 sappers, Tang Cheng drove Cai Jincheng and his gang back, these guys who can't fight will only add trouble to their side, it is better to go back to the camp at least to help carry ammunition or something. There are 5 more who can fight, and a few fewer who can't fight, and the number of people around Tang Cheng is still only a dozen people. Tang Cheng's heart couldn't help but sigh for a while, as if he had returned to the time when he crossed the river and went south, when Tang Cheng only had a dozen people by his side.

Suddenly thinking of these, Tang Cheng couldn't help but think of Liu Goat, Jiujin, Niu Laogui and Lao Dongbei, and those vague faces that had fought side by side with him. Thinking of this, Tang Cheng couldn't help but shudder, what he had done these days seemed to have deviated from what he had promised Xie Bo and Liu Goat. In order to pursue profits, he did not hesitate to order Wu Shan and them to be shot, and for the sake of money, he actually ignored the more than 200 people in the camp and went to dig a mining hole in the forest.

Tang Cheng exhaled slowly, a trace of chagrin flashed in his heart, if this had been placed before, he would never have done such a thing, what was wrong with him? Robert's face gradually appeared clearly in Tang Cheng's mind, Tang Cheng still clearly remembered the oath he made in front of Robert Ling, but now he seems to have broken those oaths. Fighting a war is no longer simply to kill devils, but to prepare a way back for himself, Tang Cheng shook his head vigorously, he wondered if he really had a problem.

Looking back at the dice on his side, he turned his head to look at the others, all of whom were well hidden. Tang Cheng turned his gaze to his front, the river valley in front of him had become blurry because of the low night, but Tang Cheng didn't notice anything. The Japanese camp was in the river valley, and the smoke from the Japanese camp rose again, and then gradually dissipated, and in the fresh air, the smoke drifted with the wind, and they all vaguely smelled it in Tangcheng.

Tonight will be a long one, and it will not be easy to spend, so far, Tang Cheng has been lying on the ground like this for several hours, and with the help of various camouflage methods, they have not been discovered by the search spears sent by the Japanese army. Although four hours passed safely, no one could have predicted what would happen in the next second, and everyone, including Tang Cheng, was so worried in their hearts, if the enemy would engage in fire reconnaissance, even if it was just a blind shot, it would kill people like stray bullets.

But without Tang Cheng's order, everyone can only continue to lurk here with the help of night and camouflage, and the only thing everyone can do now is to pray for God's blessing, and pray that the Japanese troops in the river valley will not have such a whimsical idea to come out. Tang Cheng put down his binoculars and reached out to rub his eyes. This kind of observation in the dark light, although it is not too long, makes his eyesight tired and a little dizzy.

"Isn't it time to do it?" The dice whispered in Tang Cheng's ear, and the sound of the dice immediately brought Tang Cheng back from his trance, and then nodded. At this time, it was already completely dark, and the Japanese army had already searched the area around the river valley and was sure that it was safe, so they decided to set up camp in the river valley, but they definitely did not expect that Tang Cheng and the others were only 300 meters away from their camp at this moment.

Setting up a derailment with a grenade is not a very troublesome task, but it can be very dangerous to do it at night, especially since it is so close to the Japanese camp. In order not to make a noise, the two sappers had to use their bayonets to gently dig the earth, and then gently set the mines in the holes they had quietly dug out of the earth. There are not many tricks set up by the two sappers, although there are only a dozen of them, but they are in a semicircle in front of their hiding place in Tang City, but if there are Japanese soldiers chasing here, they will definitely be hit.

"Mortars and gunners stayed, and the rest retreated first." The sappers who had laid the scorn retreated, and Tang Cheng, who was already a little impatient, immediately ordered the dice to retreat with the others first, and he himself untied the grenadier that had been carrying all the way. The grenadier in Tangcheng was no longer the Taisho 10th anniversary grenadier that was originally captured by the Japanese army, but a new type of 89-type grenadier that was newly captured from the Japanese grenadiers. This type of 89-type grenadier is an improved version of the 10th year of Taisho, and the caliber is also 50 mm, but the maximum range of the improved Type 89 grenadier can reach 700 meters, and the general effective range can also reach 500 meters. "Let's start" Tang Cheng, who saw that the two sappers who were already ready to stop were looking at him with blank eyes, and he took out a cigarette in his mouth but did not light it. A circle of white smoke rose from the muzzle of the "tom" American-style mortar, and the shells came out of their chambers and flew towards the Japanese camp that had slept peacefully in the distant river valley with a sharp whistling sound.

A ball of fire bloomed in the dark night, and the first shell failed to hit the target accurately, but the fire after the explosion guided them to the exact location of the Japanese camp in Tangcheng. "Don't stop, shoot up all the shells here, and we'll retreat." Tang Cheng took out the lighter, lit the cigarette he was biting, and then took out the grenadier grenade in his backpack and hit the Japanese camp in the distance one after another.

The camp tents of the "bombarded" Japanese troops were wiped out in the raging artillery fire, and many of the panicked Japanese soldiers in the camp were swept down in pools of blood by the flying shrapnel. The Japanese apparently did not anticipate this night attack, and the attackers abandoned the mode of hand-to-hand attack and switched to warp fire from a distance, much to the annoyance of the Japanese in the camp. 6 mortar shells and 5 grenadiers were stray in a blink of an eye, and without observing the casualties in the Japanese camp, Tang Cheng turned around and withdrew with his grenadiers and two sappers.

"Boom", "Boom", "Boom" The three of them ran less than 200 meters away, and a series of explosions sounded in the place where the cannon was fired just now, Tang Cheng laughed very happily, it must have been the Japanese soldiers who pursued out of the camp that triggered the treacherous thunder they had arranged earlier. Converging to the dice and others who were anxiously waiting, Tang Cheng and they all the way to the left flank of the Japanese camp, the night left for a long time, according to Tang Cheng's plan, the Japanese army in the river valley will experience at least two more attacks like the one just now tonight, before the arrival of day.

Relying on an American-style mortar and a new grenadier canister, Tang Cheng's gang kept changing their positions, and in just one night, they inflicted at least three night attacks on Kawada's brigade and no less than 100 casualties. At the moment when dawn was about to appear, Tang Cheng and the others, who had been running all night, had already withdrawn far away, and the scouts sent by the Kawada brigade carefully searched the area of 2 miles around the camp, but found nothing.

As the commander, Kazuo Kawada could only sprinkle the evil fire in his heart on Mike and them, and ordered his brigade to ask his soldiers to break through Mike's defense in one morning. The inability to sleep all night made the soldiers of the Kawada Brigade look a little unmotivated, although the captain had given the order, but the soldiers were a little procrastinating, so that the officers were a little uninfallible.
