Chapter 70: Rejoicing

In any case, Tang Cheng finally let Dong Liancheng and Zhou Chao leave with their respective men, and even those routs intercepted by the mountain pass, Tang Cheng also said in advance, allowing them to freely choose the route of retreat. "If you want me to say, you are too soft-hearted, guys like Dong Liancheng and Zhou Chao, you should kill them, otherwise they wouldn't have pulled so many people away." On the road again, looking at the much sparse team, the dice couldn't stop complaining about Tang Cheng.

Dong Liancheng and Zhou Chao colluded with each other, and also pulled away a lot of defeated troops intercepted in the mountain pass, and in addition to those they started with, only a few people from the new 22nd Division chose to stay. "Mr. dice, I think your commander is a very wise man, and apparently you don't understand what your commander is doing this." Sure enough, it was a chatter, and as soon as the dice stopped, George's side immediately picked up the conversation.

"Mr. Dice, you only see that they are more numerous than us, but you don't want to be far more advantageous than having more people than being outnumbered without fighting the Japanese army. Because there are fewer people, the rate of food consumption will also be slower, and the target will be smaller. George's words made Tang Cheng look at this big nose who always liked to run in front of the two female soldiers, he didn't expect this American to see through his thoughts.

There was no need to ask Tang Cheng at all, the dice only saw the ghostly expression on Tang Cheng's face, and knew that what this American big nose said was right. But even so, the dice are a loser who doesn't lose, and immediately said hardly, "What do you know about a big-nosed foreigner, more people are naturally the benefit of more people, we are not people who will only retreat when we see the Japanese army, I am still worried that it is not easy to find the little devil in the forest, I wish the little devil would come to the door by himself to die." ”

George, who had already guessed Tang Cheng's thoughts, didn't eat dice, and laughed, "Mr. dice, I think, I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed, because I'm sure your commander won't allow you to go for a Japanese rob head to exchange fire." George smiled and snorted at Tang Cheng's side, "Your commander sent two groups of scouts in succession to open the way in front, which shows that his purpose is to prevent rather than find the Japanese army to exchange fire, and besides, you are only a dozen people now, which is only enough for one squad." I don't think your commander would make such a low-level mistake and take you to find the Japanese to exchange fire, and you can see that he is a very good commander. ”

"If you get fucking hair, I'm afraid you're better than a monkey." The dice were speechless, and had to admit in disguise that there was some truth in what George said. In terms of food alone, a smaller number of people is more beneficial to Tang Cheng, as long as the Yanlong brothers are in hand, Tang Cheng will not lack food, at least wild vegetables will not be lacking. Tang Cheng didn't participate in the argument between George and the dice, because he had been keeping an eye on the front, Dong Liancheng and those people had been falling behind for half a day, so Tang Cheng did not arrange a guard, but instead transferred Hou San and Tan Fei to the front to act as the second wave of scouts.

The first wave of scouts were Dice and Rock Dragon, and 200 meters away from them were Hou San and Tan Fei, and Tang Cheng was so arranged to guard against possible Japanese search forces. Tan Fei, who had not turned back, suddenly ran back, and Tang Cheng, who was shocked, immediately ordered concealment and vigilance, according to the tacit understanding between Tang Cheng and Hou San, the scout did not turn around, indicating that the road ahead was unhindered, seeing Tan Fei rushing back, Tang Cheng's first reaction was that there were Japanese troops in front.

"It's not the Japanese army, we found a village in front of us, and we walked about a mile ahead before we got out of the woods." Tan Fei gasped for breath with some excitement, being able to walk out of the forest earlier, this is something that everyone has been looking forward to, and he didn't expect such an accident at this moment. Everyone stumbled and followed Tan Fei in the forest, at this moment, no one went back to complain about the heaviness of the backpack, and no one would complain about the slippery soil under their feet, they just wanted to see the scenery outside the forest earlier.

Sure enough, as Tan Fei said, the edge of the forest was a mile away, crouching in the grass nest at the edge of the woodland, and Tang Cheng and his party could see the Burmese. The dice had landed in a valley in the valley of the river, and a river ran through the valley dividing the valley into two parts. The Burmese village is on the small side, a small wooden bridge crosses the river, and a few Burmese in tube skirts are busy in the rice fields on this side of the large valley, not noticing that dozens of ragged Chinese soldiers are hiding in the grass nest on the edge of the rice fields.

The bull, who had already been in a circle, looked at the buffalo held by the Burmese from afar, and muttered, "Damn, this big cow is enough for us to eat." Ma Dazhuang, who was lying on the side, nodded sympathetically, and now all living creatures except people can be used as food to fill their stomachs. Tang Cheng didn't pay attention to the Burmese and the buffalo working in the rice fields, and after making sure that they were just ordinary Burmese, Tang Cheng's entire attention was focused on the village on the other side of the wooden bridge.

Tang Cheng and the others had been lying in this grass nest for more than an hour, they were not hiding, but watching the movements around them, and Tang Cheng did not dare to rashly enter this seemingly indisputable village without confirming the elimination of danger. After all, this is still in Burma, and without clearly understanding the situation, Tang Cheng would rather choose to bypass this place than risk his own life.

Tang Cheng didn't say anything for a long time, and Hou San and the others who were lying on his stomach were already a little anxious, and couldn't help but look at Tang Cheng with a telescope frequently. "It's okay, dice, this time you come out with your glasses, the glasses can speak Burmese, and you can't do without him when dealing with the locals here." After seeing a child appear at the entrance of the village in the binoculars, Tang Cheng finally gave the order to enter the village. In Tang Cheng's subconscious, if there were Japanese soldiers in this village, there would be no children playing in the open space at the entrance of the village.

Tang Cheng put down the binoculars, nodded at Hou San and them, and picked up the gun in his hand. When everyone saw Tang Cheng's action, they all pulled the bolt of the gun one after another, sticking the muzzle out of the grass. The dice, who acted as the vanguard of the front, led Tan Fei to jump out of the grass and touch towards the Burmese village. Of course, Tang Cheng was not worried that the dice and Tan Fei went out to reconnoiter the Burmese village, and after the two of them ran out of Mo for more than 30 meters, Hou San with a submachine gun and a brute bull with a light machine gun were also sent out by Tang Cheng, and these two people would provide fire support for the dice.

When the people who were working in the paddy fields did not notice the dice and Tan Fei rushing out of the grass at first, and when the two of them, who were in tattered clothes, stumbled on the ridges of the rice fields and rushed to the back baskets on the ground, the Burmese people in the paddy fields screamed loudly. Burmese people are the same as Yunnan people, they are used to carrying things in baskets, Tan Fei, who was already hungry and thirsty, stared directly at the baskets placed by the Burmese on the ground, even if they couldn't find food, they could always find water to drink.

Ignoring whether the Burmese in the paddy field knew that what they were carrying in their hands was something that could kill people, Dice and Tan Fei just used the weapons in their hands to gesture at the stunned Burmese, and then they threw the baskets on the ground in unison. "Rice cake, it's rice cake." Tan Fei had already seen food in one of the other baskets, and as soon as he lifted the coarse cloth on the basket, Tan Fei grabbed a piece of rice and stuffed it into his mouth.

Tan Fei, who was choked by the rice and rolled his eyes, directly held the basket and gestured at Tang Cheng and them. Hou San and Manniu, who followed up, also pounced, and struggled to break free from the grip of the dice, and Tan Fei stuffed the rice cakes into the mouths of the three of them one by one. Four ragged creatures like Hanako, one by one, desperately stuffed food into their mouths like starving ghosts, and frightened the few Burmese who were still in the rice fields. Under the gaze of these Burmese, more than a dozen similarly ragged guys appeared in the grass on the edge of the field, and these follow-up ones naturally appeared Tang Cheng them.

The rice cakes in the back basket were obviously not enough for more than a dozen people in Tang City, so Hou San, who was usually fond of fighting, started a scramble, and the object of the scramble was naturally these rice cakes found by Tan Fei. "Don't rob it, don't rob it, as long as you make sure that there is no problem in the village, let's rest here for a whole night before leaving, and then let you eat enough until you vomit." Tang Cheng finally dispersed Hou San and the others who were scrambling together, but unfortunately there were only two rice cakes left in the back basket, Tang Cheng looked left and right, and divided the rice cakes to the two female soldiers.

Ignoring the Burmese young and strong Cun Zài in the village, Hou San and others, who still had rice cakes in their mouths, searched the entire village carefully, and learned that there was no Japanese Cun Zài in the village, Tang Cheng gave all the banknotes he had accumulated in Mandalay to Tan Fei, who could speak Burmese, and in such a poor and remote village, these banknotes were enough to buy two cows. Xu is banknotes worked, and the Burmese villagers, who were still angry at them in Tangcheng, immediately changed their faces, and the village chief gathered the people in the village, and every family produced rice and vegetables, and killed a cow. Dozens of women in the village went into battle together, preparing food for Tang Cheng and them. The large pieces of beef had already been stewed in the pot, but Tang Cheng took Hou San and them to the river at the edge of the village. Tang Cheng, who had become black and thin, and the others soaked in the water together. All the military uniforms were soaked in an herb by the village elders, so that the parasites on the clothes could be killed, and Tang Cheng didn't want his brothers to die at the hands of the damned parasites.

Dong Liancheng, who had been separated from Tang Cheng and automatically slowed down, naturally did not have this leisure, and the rout of the new 22nd Division was fortunate that they chose Tang Cheng's side, otherwise when they sat around in Tang Cheng and talked and laughed and enjoyed this joy, they might still be struggling in the jungle with Dong Liancheng.
