Chapter 112: The Return of the New Plains (1)

Tang Cheng asked Mike how he knew the meaning of this headquarters, Mike smiled and didn't answer, but just pointed to the mines and explosives in the supply list to show Tang Cheng, and the latter suddenly realized that the command headquarters had given so many explosives and mines at once, just to get the direct company to play tug-of-war with the Japanese army in Xinpingyang. With Mike's guarantee, Tang Cheng was also bolder, and just when new supplies came, Tang Cheng simply ordered his direct company to rest here for a week, so that his soldiers could recover well.

In the absence of more ways to obtain information, sending more scouts has become the best choice for Tangcheng to guard against a sneak attack by the Japanese army. Counting the entire direct company, Tang Cheng did not count enough 200 people, this battle really killed 1,000 enemies and injured 800 themselves, but only killed more than one squadron of Japanese troops, and the direct company paid the price of as many as 60 people killed and more than 50 people were not seriously injured.

After reading the roster of the direct company, Mike knew why Tang Cheng always looked like he didn't like to deal with people yesterday, and he couldn't be happy if he changed the number of casualties with such a large casualty. Tang Cheng's sullenness was finally transmitted to Hou San and a few of them, even if he knew what the so-called treasure was from Kira Xiangcheng's mouth, the dice were still not happy.

"Forget it, so be it, if you fight, you will die after all, today it is them, maybe tomorrow it will be your turn and me." Tang Cheng, who had been uncomfortable for two days, finally relieved himself, and under Mike's persuasion, he began to wander around with Liu Shishi all day long. The time during the recuperation period always passes quickly, as if everyone has not fully recovered, and a week has passed in the blink of an eye. "No, it's better to rest for another week, anyway, there is no movement of the Japanese army in New Pingyang." Tang Cheng, who had completely lazy, directly ordered another week of rest, but Mike still didn't say anything.

After another week's recuperation period, the remaining members of the direct company recovered, and except for some serious injuries that had not yet recovered, the number of people who were actually able to take part in the battle was now less than 170. Tang Cheng thought about it and discussed it with Mike again, and finally decided to take 30 lightly wounded to stay here to take care of the seriously wounded, and the remaining 140 people went out to Xinpingyang according to the original plan.

Kira Xiangcheng, who was captured by the dice, not only told the dice about the treasure, but also said a lot about the situation of the Shin Pingyang defenders, if it weren't for the fact that the dice hand had already finished Kira Xiangcheng, Tang Cheng still wanted to pull Kira Xiangcheng over and ask about the situation of Shin Pingyang carefully. According to Kira Xiangcheng's confession, Xinpingyang was stationed in a mixed Japanese-Burmese force, and the so-called Japanese-Burmese mixed force was actually a mixed mountain force composed of Japanese veterans and Burmese outlaws.

Taking advantage of the favorable terrain of Xinpingyang near the Savage Mountain, the Japanese troops stationed in the Hukang Valley often sent small forces from here through the jungle to attack the engineering units of the expeditionary force that were paving the road. After being defeated several times by the 114th Regiment of the 38th Division, the scattered remnants of the Japanese army ran back along the jungle one after another, and temporarily stayed in Xinpingyang to rest, but the number of people increased, and slowly became more and more than 2,000 people now. In this Japanese-Burmese mixed force, which has more than 2,000 people, Japanese soldiers account for 7 percent, of which Japanese veterans account for more than half of these 7 percent. The Okazaki squadron that pursued Tangcheng this time was one of the units with Japanese veterans occupying the majority, but they didn't expect that the Okazaki squadron was actually not the opponent of the direct company.

Ignoring the dissuasion of Mike and the others, Tang Cheng decided to personally lead a scout team to set off in advance to open the way for the follow-up troops, and Tang Cheng also gave up the route he had already traveled once, and instead chose to take a straight line through the woodland along the way to the new Pingyang. Although the route to Xinpingyang is full of unknown dangers, it is at least more than one-third of the distance saved than the original route, and if Tangcheng can find a new route to Xinpingyang, whether it is to fight with the Japanese army or retreat here, it is a good choice.

Soon after leaving the Tushan position, the scout team led by Tang Cheng found the corpses of Japanese soldiers in the forest one after another, but in only half a month, the pig-like corpses of the Japanese soldiers who were stripped by Hou San and them had already rotted into white bones and a pile of rotten meat. Tang Cheng never thought that tolerance for the enemy was something that could only be praised, so he directly chose to ignore the experience of these Japanese soldiers, since he was an enemy, there was no need to feel guilty for his enemy.

As soon as he crossed a mountain ridge and entered another forest, the rock dragon walking in front of the group suddenly stopped, and then half-crouched down and made a dangerous gesture. Several scouts behind him immediately dispersed to find concealment, this kind of formation has long been a common occurrence for scout squads, once the leader makes a dangerous gesture, the other soldiers have to react and cover the leader. Tang Cheng, who was walking in the middle of the line, was forcibly pushed behind a tree by Liu Shishi and Tan Fei, Tang Cheng glared at them a few times with dissatisfaction, and picked up the binoculars on his chest to watch the movement on Yanlong's side. A few minutes later, the rock dragon, who had not noticed anything abnormal, finally stood up, and the alarm was lifted, it seemed to be a false alarm, but no one dared to be careless, fighting, life and death step by step.

Re-entering the road, the scouts on the march still did not dare to relax their vigilance, and all of them watched the movement in the forest with wide eyes, for fear that they would suddenly rush out a few Japanese soldiers to attack them. "Concealment, concealment" The rock dragon who was walking in the front suddenly turned around and ran back, lowering his voice to signal everyone to be careful and hidden. The place where Tang Cheng and them were crouching happened to be at the downwind outlet, and the breeze blowing from the upwind outlet was full of shadows and smells, and the rock dragon just smelled this smell before retreating in a hurry. At this time, Tang Cheng also smelled this smell, this is the smell of smoke that everyone is familiar with, it is the smell of smoke, and some people are smoking in the upwind outlet.

War is cruel and torturous, and even recruits who live today and die tomorrow learn to smoke without a teacher as long as they have fought a few battles. It is both a time and a stress reliever, so cigarettes and weapons are equally important in the eyes of soldiers. If someone is smoking in such a barren mountain and wilderness, there must be Japanese troops in front. After grabbing a few handfuls of blades of grass and simply weaving a grass ring and putting it on the steel helmet, Tang Cheng climbed forward with a telescope and crouched behind a section of rotten wood. The terrain here is a little higher, and the field of vision will be better, and the rock dragon has handed over a smaller grass circle and put it on the telescope, at least it will not cause the other party to be alerted by the reflection of the telescope's lens. It would be the afternoon, the light was very good, and the telescope could see it clearly, Tang Cheng slowly looked around the suspicious places, but found nothing.

Not finding anything suspicious does not mean that there is no danger, and the smell of smoke in the air is a good proof, so Tang Cheng, who was lying behind the wooden section, was not in a hurry, but just made a vigilant gesture at the scouts behind him, but he did not move his position on the spot. After seeing Tang Cheng's gesture, the scouts lying in the back also checked their weapons, and took advantage of the terrain to quietly disperse and advance along the two wings. Once engaged with an enemy army, scouts on both flanks can act as surprise soldiers, firing at the flank center and suppressing enemy forces at any time.

Ten minutes passed quickly, and the danger that made Tang Cheng and Yanlong feel palpitations lingered, but none of them found out that there was a danger. Fortunately, the current Tang Cheng has already been polished by the war and is very patient, since he has not found out where there is a danger, Tang Cheng plans to spend it with the other party to see who will be more patient. Another ten minutes passed, and Liu Shishi, who was not far from Tangcheng, couldn't help but move his body, but Tan Fei beside him reached out and pressed his lower back, Liu Shishi was very puzzled, and turned his face to meet Tan Fei's series of gestures.

Liu Shishi has never read a book, but he is not a brainless person, the combat sign language taught by the US military instructor to everyone, Liu Shishi has mastered it all after only a few lessons, so he is very familiar with Tan Fei's gestures at this time. Tan Fei is telling Liu Shi that there is a situation, and he must be ready to shoot at any time. Liu Shishi blinked to show that he already knew, slowly pulled the bolt to put the bullet on fire, and Liu Shishi, who was lying next to Tan Fei, held his breath and waited for the enemy to appear.

Tang Cheng didn't want to ambush the enemy or have an encounter with the enemy here, the terrain here is too bad, especially for Tang Cheng. It's been half an hour, and Tang Cheng and the others are lying on the spot and haven't moved, but the enemy who has been waiting for him and Yanlong has never appeared. "Something is wrong" Tang Cheng slowly turned around and made a series of gestures to the rock dragon, who also nodded in agreement with Tang Cheng's opinion.

"Retreat, retreat." When he couldn't make a decision, Tang Cheng chose to take the initiative to retreat very wisely, and with Liu Shishi, who was very puzzled, they retreated first, and suddenly there was a sound of someone talking at the upwind position, and then a few guys in khaki military uniforms came out of the bushes in the upwind position. The familiar earthy yellow military uniform on the other party made Liu Shishi and them turn their guns at the mouth without thinking about it.

"Damn, when did these Burmese people start wearing Japanese uniforms?" Tang Cheng was the first to discover the abnormality, although these guys who came out of the bushes were wearing Japanese military uniforms, they were actually Burmese, and Tang Cheng also happened to see the tattoo on the back of one of the other party's hands, otherwise he would not have known that these would be Burmese and not Japanese.
