Chapter 106: The Road Encounters an Air Raid
Tang Cheng's appearance caused a riot among some soldiers of the 30th Army, and in the face of the guns that had already been raised by these soldiers of the 30th Army, Tang Cheng had to order the second company to temporarily stop advancing. After Niu Laogui and one of their officers greeted each other, the muzzles raised by the soldiers of the 30th Army were finally lowered, but Tang Cheng had no interest in meeting the commander of this heavy baggage force.
Su Datong and Niu Laogui followed the officers of the 30th Army, while Tang Cheng took the second company to stay in place to rest, and by the way, he watched those guys from the 30th Army turn the corpses of Japanese soldiers scattered on the ground into fireballs. "These deflated calves are just going to spoil things, so they won't move the corpses of these little devils and light them on fire, which can save a lot of kerosene." The old northeast who was sitting next to Tang Cheng complained at the right time, Tang Cheng just laughed slightly but did not stop the old northeast from complaining, because he knew that the old northeast said this just to accompany him.
chatting with Lao Dongbei without saying a word, Tang Cheng, who had recovered some physical strength, was in a much better mood, but when Lao Dongbei took out a cigarette and handed it to Tang Cheng, the latter suddenly got up and stood up, and took off his steel helmet and tilted his ears to make a gesture of listening to something. "Go quickly, and tell all the brethren to go into the woods." Seeing that Lao Dongbei was still sitting on the ground and not moving, Tang Cheng raised his foot and kicked it, seeing that his expression didn't look like he was joking, Lao Northeast got up from the ground and stood up.
Just wanted to ask, but Tang Cheng, who looked nervous, stretched out his hand to stop him, and the confused old Northeast looked up at the sky along Tang Cheng's line of sight, but saw nothing. The old northeast who couldn't cry or laugh reached out to touch Tang Cheng's forehead, and he asked to see if this little chief of his was talking nonsense because he had a fever in broad daylight. "Take the brethren into the woods, it's a plane, it's a plane." Old Northeast's hand was blocked by Tang Cheng, and before Old Northeast could react, Tang Cheng had already shouted that there was a plane, and he picked up an injured guy and rushed down the road to the forest a hundred meters away.
"What's wrong? What's wrong with this? Tang Cheng helped the wounded and rushed down the roadbed, and Niu Laogui, who negotiated with the baggage troops of the 30th Army, also happened to come back, and he didn't care about greeting Su Datong beside him, Niu Laogui grabbed the old northeast who was standing stupidly and asked loudly. When he just left, Tang Cheng still looked as usual, why did he leave for a while, Tang Cheng shouted in the field under the highway like crazy.
"The plane, the fuck is coming from the north, and it's all hidden in the woods." Tang Cheng, who had already rushed off the road, saw that Niu Laogui and the others were still standing stupidly on the road, so he was anxious and scolded. Sure enough, amid the hysterical shouts of Tang Cheng, a few dark dots soon appeared in the northern sky, their fly-like buzzing sound was more effective than military trumpets and leather boots, and the soldiers of the second company on the road turned from walking to trotting, following Tang Cheng towards the forest a hundred meters away.
"Hurry up, it's safe to enter the woods." Tang Cheng put one of the wounded soldier's arms on his shoulder, dragging him vigorously and quickly moving around the field. Seeing that the people of the second company were running towards the forest in the distance, the people who were protected by Su Datong's people in the middle began to make a commotion, although they didn't know what the people of the road were all running down the road, but they knew that something must have happened in the road.
Tang Cheng's age is that Su Datong has always been sick, but he also knows that the people of the Second Company of the Dao Dao can fight and will fight, although he did not get the answer he wanted from Niu Laogui, but Su Datong is not a fool, while sending his officers to inform the baggage troops in front, he ordered his soldiers and people to follow the Second Company to the forest a hundred meters away. The soil under the highway is wet and soft, so it does not raise choking dust, but even if there is vegetation along the road, it is sparse and sparse, and it cannot provide shelter for a team of several hundred people.
The hum of the planes in the sky became clearer and clearer, and when they lowered the nose of the plane and swooped in, the propellers rolled the air and let out a low whimper, and the hum of the engines had a strong penetrating power, which could make people feel oppressed and nervous at a long distance. The officers sent by Su Datong to report to the front were still a step slower, and when they saw that the plane that was swooping down had already put on a posture of preparing to attack, the officers of the 30th Army's baggage team shouted to the soldiers to disperse on both sides of the road.
The gathered soldiers rushed off the road, and the officers, who had also lost their bearings, had to run away from the road as hard as they could. At this time, only the sound of swishing whistling came from the air, and the crowd fleeing the highway instinctively bowed their heads and waists, and did not dare to have the slightest slackness under their feet. The wings of the swooping plane were marked with a large plaster flag, which looked like a Japanese fighter plane, and the bullets fired by the machine guns could easily tear people apart, and the screams just now were made by the soldiers who were hit by the machine guns.
At the moment when he heard the sound of machine gun fire, Tang Cheng, who was running, fell straight forward, and many of the soldiers who followed him didn't have time to stop, and suddenly stumbled and fell. Lying on the ground, Tang Cheng dared to look back, and saw that the target of the first wave of dive strafing by the Japanese planes was not his side, so he immediately got up and continued to run towards the forest in the distance. Looking at the forest that was getting closer and closer from afar, Tang Cheng's eyes were full of Xiyi, only 30 meters away from the forest, and with a few breaths, he would be able to rush into the forest.
There were several powerful explosions on the side of the "boom," "boom," and "boom" road, and the Japanese planes finally dropped their bombs, and the huge roar shook people's ears, so that Tangcheng, a hundred meters away, did not hear the sound of two Japanese planes pulling up and passing overhead. By the time my hearing had recovered somewhat, the sound of the plane's engine changing speed was already coming to my ears, and the first Japanese plane that had climbed to a certain altitude had already dived towards Tangcheng, while the second Japanese fighter had only climbed to about half the altitude.
When the Japanese fighters that swooped down were lowered to the lowest altitude, the wind from the propellers could almost blow the sand and gravel on the ground, and Tang Cheng, who was already lying on the ground, showed off his low-altitude skills so unscrupulously that this not only fully demonstrated the absolute air supremacy of the Japanese army at this time, but also showed the strong confidence of the Japanese fighter pilots. Hearing the characteristic whimpering sound of the Japanese plane diving down, Tang Cheng, who was lying on the ground with his head in his hands, couldn't help but hang his heart in his throat.
When the two Japanese machine guns on the wings opened fire at the same time, the crisp sound of fried beans suddenly burst above Tang Cheng's head. Two bullets then raised strings of mud and debris on the ground, and the soldiers and civilians who were crawling on the ground did not escape the catastrophe, and the short round of strafing caused nearly 10 casualties. Listening to the screams, Tang Cheng, who was lying on the ground, didn't dare to raise his head, especially when the bullets just swept the stones and mud debris and flew on the ground, he felt that he was hovering on the edge of life and death.
The plane swept down with heavy machine-gun caliber bullets or machine shells, and if it was hit, it was estimated that he would not only be killed but also end up with no corpse. The roar of the Japanese fighters gradually faded away, Tang Chengchang took a breath and turned his head to look back, the smoke of gunpowder in the field gradually dissipated, and the screams came one after another, and the people around him who fell to the ground did not know whether they were dead or alive. Shocked, Tang Cheng was completely shocked by the scene in front of him, this was the second time he had been strafed by Japanese planes, but he was still stunned by the tragic scene in front of him.
"Don't worry about the dead, take the injured and pull the ones who can't walk, as long as we enter the forest, we will be safe." There was no time to sigh here, Tang Cheng got up to help the wounded soldiers beside him, and kept running towards the forest. Niu Laogui and Lao Dongbei also looked incredulous, and in Tang Cheng's shouting, they all got up or carried or helped up the wounded soldiers, and followed closely behind Tang Cheng with the people of the second company, as for Su Datong's people and those people, they were completely out of their consideration.
It's not that Tang Cheng doesn't want to save those innocent people, but at the moment, it's still two things to say whether his own life will be saved, Tang Cheng, who is not an orthodox soldier, doesn't have the same mind as his family and country, and he joined the army just to kill the Japanese soldiers to avenge Robert, and he can't afford to lose his life for a few people who don't obey the command. Tang Cheng, who was already tired like a bellows, finally dragged the wounded soldier into the forest, and before he could reach out to hold the small tree in front of him, Tang Cheng and the wounded soldier he was holding fell into the forest together.
Although he was lucky to be unharmed in the air raid, Tang Cheng, who was paralyzed in the forest, could not be happy at all, and his head was completely chaotic at this time. If Tang Cheng was no longer so afraid of the Japanese tanks, but the planes flying in the air frightened Tang Cheng, and the two encounters with the Japanese planes were bloody memories, and Tang Cheng couldn't imagine what would happen if he commanded the second company to fight against the Japanese fighters.
was struggling with these questions, Tang Cheng was unprepared for being patted on the arm, and turned his head to see that it was Niu Laogui's sweaty face, Tang Cheng didn't think much about it and made a wry smile, and the bitter taste was all in it. When Tang Cheng turned around, Niu Laogui found that there was a three-centimeter-long blood mark on the cheekbone of Tang Cheng's right cheek, and the wound was still bleeding outward.
Guessing that Tang Cheng might not have realized that he was injured, Niu Laogui stretched out his finger and pointed to his cheek, and touched the position of his right cheek again. Tang Cheng, who came back to his senses, stretched out his hand to wipe it, and saw the blood stained on his fingers, but he got up indifferently and walked towards the edge of the woodland, looking at Tang Cheng's indifferent back, Niu Laogui lost his mind silently.
