Chapter 118: Guerrilla
Tang Cheng couldn't bear Mike's appeal, so he had to agree to send a small force to attack the Japanese-Burmese mixed troops at the bottom of the mountain. Remember, I don't want you to fight the Japanese troops down the mountain, just seize the opportunity to hit them and then retreat, but don't trap yourself and your brothers in the middle of it. Tang Cheng agreed to the dice's invitation to fight, and he was a little uneasy, and he carefully admonished a few words, waiting for the dice to say that he remembered these words, and Tang Cheng let him go.
There was nothing to do on this hill all day, and the veterans of the direct company were already a little tired, except for those snipers who could occasionally fight with the Japanese or Burmese soldiers who surrounded them, the others could only serve as guards or fortify their positions every day. Suddenly, I heard that Tang Cheng had agreed to send some people to attack the Japanese and Burmese troops surrounding the mountain, and after a while, Tang Cheng's bunker was already surrounded by veterans of Mao Sui's direct company.
"Sir, why do you say that I also fought a little devil with you in the Ledo River at the beginning, there are not many old brothers like me in our direct company, do you want to count me as one?" There is that anxious guy who can't wait to break into Tang Cheng's bunker, and he doesn't want Tang Cheng to agree to shoot himself down the mountain, and those who can't squeeze in or the most stupid can't speak, can only crowd at the door of the bunker and wait for Tang Cheng's decision.
"Get out, get out of here, the matter of going down the mountain has been handed over to the dice, if you don't go to him, you all come to make a fuss with me." Tang Cheng, who was taking a nap in the bunker, was woken up by a group of people, and when he heard the intentions of these guys clearly, Tang Cheng couldn't help but blast them all out. I thought it would be good to let the dice draw out 40 people, but now I take a look, there are as many as 100 guys who come here to make trouble and want to go down the mountain, and they are all down the mountain, who will hold the position?
In addition to being angry, Tang Cheng's heart also rose a little satisfied, at least his soldiers did not lose their courage because they were surrounded here by Japanese and Burmese troops. Tang Cheng didn't pay attention to how the dice disposed of this time, but at dinner, the dice reported him a list of 40 people. Tang Cheng had taken a cursory look at it, half of the 40 people were snipers and scouts, and the remaining half were also veterans who had fought with him in Ledo.
"I've thought about it, like you said, if we don't fight, if we want to fight, we'll beat them hard. The veterans will take care of themselves, and they will have their own set of ways to fight, so that when the time comes, there will be any accidents that drag down the other brothers. Tang Cheng asked the reason why the dice selected people, but the reason given by the dice made Tang Cheng a little dumbfounded, daring to love that all the people selected by this product were the guys he looked at on weekdays, but there was no one who had little dealings.
"I think it's good to use someone you trust than someone you don't know, aren't you like that." Tang Cheng naturally wanted to teach the dice, but he didn't want Mike to agree with the dice method of picking people. Knowing that Tang Cheng was going to send soldiers down the mountain to attack the Japanese and Burmese troops, Mike originally did not agree, but after listening carefully to Tang Cheng's analysis, Mike had to agree to Tang Cheng's plan. If the direct company could not firmly stick these Japanese and Burmese soldiers here, the troops of the 38th Division going south would definitely encounter a strong counterattack by the Japanese and Burmese troops when they captured Xinpingyang.
Mike helped the dice speak, Tang Cheng could only glared at the two of them angrily, and then called the dice, and carefully advised, "I didn't say that you must retreat to the mountains after attacking the Japanese army, if you can guarantee that you will not be bitten by the Japanese army when you swim around the periphery, I agree that you have been attacking them on the periphery, as long as your body can keep up, even if you can kill them all." Tang Cheng's promise gave the dice a great encouragement, how to say that he also followed Tang Cheng across the Yangtze River for thousands of miles all the way, if they fought a guerrilla war with the Japanese army here, they might not be able to be bitten by the Japanese army.
Taking advantage of the darkness, Dice and Tan Fei disappeared into the night with 40 selected veterans who were ready to go, watching them leave, Tang Cheng's eyes were full of worry, the battle situation was dangerous and changeable, and he didn't know how many of the 42 of them would come back alive. As one of Tang Cheng's cronies who followed Tang Cheng for the longest time, the way the dice fought was completely different from Tang Cheng, and if Tang Cheng was asked to evaluate, he felt that the way the dice fought was very similar to the CCP guerrillas they had encountered, and they were all virtues that could only take advantage of them but refused to suffer.
Dice and Tan Fei led people down the mountain to attack the Japanese and Burmese troops surrounding the mountain, Tang Cheng and the others also lost their sleep, and waited until the sky was about to lighten, when a burst of gunfire suddenly sounded in the northwest direction of Tushan. "The fight started, the fight started, it was the dice, I could hear the sound of the Garand rifle shooting." Mike, who was wrapped in a military blanket, danced and shouted in the trenches, and Tang Cheng, who was woken up by him, hurriedly looked in the direction of the gunshots with his binoculars, but unfortunately he didn't see anything.
The dense gunfire from the northwest direction of Tushan only lasted for a short time in Mike's shouting and Tang Cheng's urgency, but the sporadic gunfire continued intermittently, but I don't know if the Japanese were chasing the dice or whether the dice were deliberately luring the Japanese to chase them. About half an hour later, gunshots rang out again in the northeast direction of Tushan, and this time Tang Cheng heard it clearly, and the sound of fried beans in the gunfire was not the sound of Thomson submachine gun firing.
"Boom" "Boom" Smoke rose one after another in the forest under the mountain, and with the sound of explosions, Tang Cheng also saw soldiers in khaki military uniforms rushing into the forest one after another in the telescope. Tang Cheng silently counted the number of Japanese and Burmese soldiers who rushed into the forest in the telescope, and counted until 200 people, but the gunfire in the woodland below the mountain had not stopped, Tang Cheng's face unconsciously showed a smile, it seemed that these Japanese and Burmese soldiers who rushed into the forest were busy.
When Tang Cheng was lying on the hilltop and counting the number of Japanese and Burmese soldiers, the dice with the sniper rifle had already killed his seventh prey, and the dice that kept an eye on the bullets in the chamber knew that there was still the last bullet left in his chamber. This kind of sniper rifle modified with a Garand rifle is good everywhere, and it is not favored by the dice at all, and every time the 8 rounds in the chamber are emptied, the empty magazine will always pop out automatically with a "ding". If this is a long-range sniper enemy, it's fine, but if the distance between yourself and the enemy is not far enough, the sound of the empty magazine automatically retracting will reveal the sniper's position to the opponent.
It is precisely because of this that when the dice shoot, they will always subconsciously count the number of bullets left in their chambers, so as not to get too close to the other party when the last bullet is fired, which will bring unnecessary danger and trouble to themselves. With the seventh bullet fired, the dice gave up on the next target, instead choosing to quickly retreat backwards with the gun. After rounding two trees and a nest of bushes in succession, the dice stopped and hid behind a tree, aiming their guns at the Japanese soldier who wore only a soft cloth hat on his head.
After Tan Fei's careful observation and inference, the biggest difference between the Japanese and Burmese soldiers in the Japanese-Burmese mixed army is the military cap. Almost all the Japanese soldiers still wore cloth soft military hats on their heads, but those Burmese soldiers who were gathered by the Japanese army only had steel helmets, and the Japanese army was the enemy of the direct company, so whenever they found a target, the dice would always shoot the Japanese soldiers wearing soft military hats first.
"Snap" the last bullet in the chamber of the gun, and instead of rushing to reload his sniper rifle with a new magazine, the dice stuffed his finger into his mouth and blew a series of whistles. The melodious, high-pitched whistle echoed through the woods, and a few seconds later, the sun's whistle sounded in the trees beside the dice. This is a signal for the scouts to communicate with each other, and after dividing the troops with Tan Fei, the dice only brought two snipers and a dozen scouts over here, and they had to keep in touch with each other at all times.
The impatient scouts who had been waiting for a long time were ready to open fire, and the dice were confident that the trap he had set with a dozen submachine guns was enough for the pursuing Japanese and Burmese soldiers to drink a pot, and if the shape was better, he didn't mind driving these head-on enemies out of the woods. Heavy gunfire erupted again in the woodland, and both the Japanese and Burmese troops and the Tangcheng on the top of the hill could already tell from the gunfire that it was the sound of Thomson's submachine gun firing.
"I didn't expect this guy to be a guerrilla fighter, look, the guy who chased into the forest just now was kicked out by him again, at least 40 of them were killed this time." Tang Cheng on the top of the mountain looked carefully this time, nearly 200 Japanese and Burmese soldiers who chased into the forest, and only more than 100 escaped in the end. Tang Cheng didn't know that this was the result of the division of troops between Dice and Tan Fei, if the firepower of the dice ambush just now was stronger, maybe there would be more Japanese and Burmese soldiers left in the forest.
The gunfire at the foot of the mountain continued for a whole day, and when the sky was completely dark, they had been intermittently without wanting to stop, Tang Cheng and Mike also watched the telescope down the mountain with bloodshot eyes all day. After fighting with the Japanese and Burmese soldiers all day, the 40 veterans who were taken down the mountain by Tan Fei and the dice also suffered casualties, but in general, they took advantage of the dice, and among the more than 30 people who survived, each of them had no less than a few Japanese or Burmese soldiers on their hands.
