"How many people? Is it your own person or a little devil? Tang Cheng suddenly stood up, he had been shocked by the news that the sentinel had brought back. Temporarily stopping here to rest, Liu Shishi counted the few remaining numbers of the second company, excluding the dozen or so wounded who had lost their ability to fight, and there were only 51 people left in the second company who could still fight, but in the first battle at the head of the village, the second company lost at least 40 soldiers.

If it is changed to the familiar terrain of the second company, the remaining 50 or so people still have the ability to fight with the Japanese army, but at the moment they are just spinning in the forest, and everyone has already exhausted all their physical strength, if the Japanese pursuit force comes again, maybe the remaining 51 people of the second company will not even be able to stop the first round of Japanese attack. Xu was anxious to be asked by Tang Cheng, and the sentry who rushed back coughed dryly twice, and then he smiled at Tang Cheng, "I look like Su Datong's gang, and there are ordinary people following." ”

After listening to the sentry's answer, Tang Cheng's heart fell to the ground, as long as it was not a Japanese soldier who came, the second company could not afford to toss now. But no matter who came, the preparations that should be made still had to be made, under Tang Cheng's instructions, Lao Dongbei took all the machine guns of the second company and hid them in a place that was not easy to be discovered, and the muzzle of the gun was pointed in the direction where the sentry left again. The sentinels who left again were sent by Tang Cheng to pick up Su Datong and them, so as not to cause a misunderstanding and accidental injury.

"Company Commander Tang, I've found you." Su Datong, who was covered with sweat, did not cry and wipe away tears as soon as Tang Cheng imagined, but greeted Tang Cheng and Niu Laogui with a smile in his eyes. "We escorted the people of the village into the forest, and we didn't wait for you to catch up, and then the little devil opened fire, so we had to take these people into the forest first. Later, I heard an explosion in the woods, and I guessed that you and the little devils had done it, so I chased after it, but I didn't expect to find you. ”

While greeting Su Datong, Tang Cheng looked at the soldiers under Su Datong, compared with the second company, the soldiers under Su Datong seemed to be much more energetic. However, Tang Cheng could hear that when Su Datong was talking to him, the previous arrogance had completely disappeared, and Tang Cheng guessed that Su Datong and they must have seen the two Japanese armored vehicles that the second company blew up on the road, after all, it is not possible for anyone to kill the Japanese armored vehicles.

Glancing at Niu Laogui, who understood his heart, Tang Cheng did not mention the ambush of the Japanese armored vehicle just now by the Second Company, and compared with the escape of the Second Company, the battle just now was not worth mentioning at all. "Company Commander Su, I don't know if you are familiar with the terrain here, we have found many times that there are Japanese planes in the sky, if there is no suitable route to leave, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to take these civilians back to the area controlled by the national army." Regarding Tang Cheng's inquiry, Su Datong could only shake his head and say that he didn't know.

"If any of you are familiar with the terrain here, we are going to go in the direction of Macheng now, and I hope that one of you will stand up and lead the way for us." The people gathered in the woods were only busy with their own affairs, and no one cared about Tang Cheng at all, and the angry old Northeast was about to scold, but Tang Cheng shook his head to stop him. "I know that some unpleasant things happened in the past, but this is a war, the opinions of a few people can only be ignored, now you are not only helping us, but also helping yourself, if you can't get out of here as soon as possible and go to a safe place, maybe the Japanese pursuers will arrive soon."

Xu was responding to Tang Cheng's inference, and the guard post arranged by Tang Cheng in the rear strode back, and the explosion that blew up the Japanese armored car not only attracted Su Datong and them, but also attracted the Japanese pursuers. The two soldiers who had been left behind as guards galloped back at a speed of 100 meters, waving desperately as they ran, and if they touched their own people, they would not have cried with joy to this point, and then looking at the gesture of one of the soldiers as if something was coming this way.

Tang Cheng's heart suddenly secretly said badly, he suddenly remembered the Japanese armored unit roaring across the road, and he was afraid of whatever he wanted. A cannon barrel suddenly appeared in Tang's telescope, and then the turret and body of the tank also appeared, and the characteristic shape was the Japanese bean chariot that Tang Cheng had seen outside Nanjing. Immediately after the appearance of the first Bean Chariot, the second and third also climbed the small hill that Tang Cheng was staring at, and they came from there along the road for up to three kilometers, and this distance was completely within the range of the Bean Chariot tank guns.

Tang Cheng was suddenly a little annoyed that he should not have given the order to enter this forest, the sparse trees were difficult to provide effective cover for the second company, and the many arm-thick trees in the woods could not stop the speed of the Japanese bean chariot at all, and in the face of the weight of the bean chariot of more than 3 tons, these thin trees were as fragile as toothpicks stuck in the soil. The three bean chariots that appeared in Tang Cheng's sight formed a horizontal line and rushed towards this side, and Tang Cheng also saw a few Japanese soldiers following behind the bean chariot.

Just when the first platoon commander under Su Datong pointed to the west and shouted, those bean chariots opened fire, and the people in the woods immediately rushed in a panic, but where were the human legs faster than the cannonballs? In just four or five seconds, three shells from the rear tanks of the Japanese army roared, and although the shooting of the bean tanks was not very accurate, it was not difficult to bombard targets in the area. Three shells landed on the north and west sides of the crowd, and the impact of the explosion immediately caused some unlucky people to fly out of the crowd in reverse, and the shrapnel caused other people to wail even more.

The Japanese tanks opened fire, not only those civilians were running in all directions, but even the soldiers under Su Datong also joined the ranks of fleeing, only the people of the second company held the weapons in their hands and waited for Tang Cheng's order. Tang Cheng suddenly remembered the story Robert had told him about the two encountering the bear, the one who ran faster than his companion would naturally be able to escape the bear's attack, and at first thought, this principle seemed to work in the current situation.

In the face of the three bean chariots of the Japanese army and those covering infantry, it was completely impossible for the second company and Su Datong's men to withstand the opponent's attack in positional battles or frontal encounters, and running desperately seemed to be the only way to escape. However, this is not the case, because the position where the previous rest was located was relatively backward, and the people of the second company have fallen behind the most. In addition, there are more than a dozen wounded in the second company, even if Tang Cheng orders the second company to retreat, they will not be able to run faster than Su Datong's people, and the target of the Japanese army must be those of them in military uniforms, and surpassing the people cannot be regarded as escaping.

The shells from the Japanese tanks were constantly whizzing and falling, and one explosion after another could kill some or even all of them at any time, but the civilians who had already blown up their nests were already running forward without looking back. Although the soldiers of the second company were very frightened, under the supervision of Niu Laogui and their veterans, they still crouched in the woods and waited for Tang Cheng's order, which made Tang Cheng, who was in the middle of them, full of emotion again. Sighing and sighing, in such a situation, taking the initiative to stay in the palace, Tang Cheng knew that he and the people around him would be more than lucky.

Tang Cheng bit his lower lip and seemed to have made up his mind, "Old Northeast, bring your people and a German machine gun, a grenadier canister, and 20 grenades to follow me, Uncle Niu, you take the brothers to stay here passively, and I will take people to lure away the little devil's tank." Without waiting for Niu Laogui to object, Tang Cheng had already picked up the flower trap in his hand and ran towards the flank of the second company, shooting at the Japanese tank in the distance as he ran.

Holding the flower trap in his hand, Tang Cheng looked back sideways as he ran, and there seemed to be only three Japanese tanks in his sight, but each one was followed by combat infantry. Seeing that Tang Cheng had already gotten up and rushed out, Lao Dongbei, who was carrying the MZ42 machine gun, casually pointed at a few strong guys, and also ran to the flank behind Tang Cheng. Niu Laogui, who was ordered by Tang Cheng to stay in place, stared at Tang Cheng's back as they left, he also wanted to go, but he couldn't violate Tang Cheng's military orders, and the remaining soldiers of the second company also needed to have an idea.

The shells from the Japanese bean chariots fell from time to time, and the debris of the trees that flew with the explosion of the shells hit his body, which made Tang Cheng cry out uncontrollably. Tang Cheng couldn't figure out the number here, how the Japanese army's bean chariots found themselves and how they drove into the woods, but now was not the time to figure out these questions, and the most important thing was to divert these bean chariots. "Boom" Tangcheng The grenadier they brought out ejected a grenade, and a cloud of smoke rose from the back of one of the bean chariots, I don't know if this grenade hit by the grenadier attracted the attention of the Japanese bean chariots, and the three rampage bean chariots turned around and chased after them in Tang Cheng.

"Go, go, don't stop, lead them somewhere else." Tang Cheng turned around and beckoned to the old northeast, and when they ran to a small mound slightly above the ground level, Tang Cheng, who could no longer run, had to order to prepare for battle in place. This was already the edge of the woods, and beyond the hill was a vast expanse of wilderness, and the Bean Chariot was not yet powerful in the woods, but once they drove out of the woods and into the plains, it would be a nightmare for the people of Tang City.

7 people, 2 flower traps, 2 Mauser rifles, a Japanese 50mm grenadier canister, and a German-style MZ42 machine gun, relying on such a weapon configuration and manpower, it is undoubtedly a fantasy to meet three Japanese bean chariots and dozens of Japanese covering infantry. Tang Cheng, who could escape to the mound, had no choice, and behind the mound was an endless wilderness, in which they didn't even have a chance to fight the Bean Chariot, and here, they might still have a slight advantage over the terrain.
