Chapter 38: Death in Battle (8)
The three Japanese soldiers who were discovered by the rock dragon still moved forward cautiously little by little, but suddenly stopped not far from the rock dragon, and the rock dragon in the grass was in a hurry, and he just wanted to go up and pull them. The three Japanese soldiers seemed to hesitate for a moment, whispered again, and finally continued to come to the rock dragon's side. The two people who had been walking in front of them suddenly stepped into the air, and their bodies immediately fell to the sides. Before the third Japanese soldier could react, the short knife that Yanlong had been biting into his mouth had already been thrown out, and the flash of the knife had accurately hit the Japanese soldier's chest.
The Japanese soldier who was stabbed in the chest immediately fell to the ground as soon as the rope became weak, and the rifle in his hand knocked on a stone and took off, and then hit the face of another Japanese soldier, who couldn't help but cover his face and scream. Seeing the right moment, the rock dragon immediately jumped up from the grass. He quickly rushed to the trap he had dug out, threw a Japanese soldier who was taking his foot out of the trap to the ground, and struck the Japanese soldier below him on the temple with a fist, and the latter just snorted, and then rolled his eyes and lost consciousness.
The screams of the Japanese soldiers who had been smashed in the face by their rifles did not attract the attention of the other Japanese soldiers, because their current position was too far away from the other Japanese soldiers. Iwalong pulled out his bayonet from the waist of the Japanese soldier below him, and swung it at the neck of the remaining Japanese soldier who was still screaming with his face covered, blood splattering out of the knife on his neck. The screams stopped, and in the blink of an eye, only the one who had been knocked out by the rock dragon was left alive among the three Japanese soldiers.
The sentry posts arranged by Tang City in the valley have long been prepared, and the sentries are nervously staring at the direction they are guarding with guns, so as to prevent the Japanese troops outside the valley from sneaking in at night. Hou San and his team had climbed out of the valley from the cliff, and were about to disperse the guard, but happened to encounter the rock dragon returning with the captive. Knowing that Yanlong had returned safely and captured a captive alive, Tang Cheng, who was still in the valley, was relieved and immediately ordered everyone to evacuate the valley.
Taking advantage of the fact that the Japanese troops outside the valley did not know, Tang Cheng, who climbed out of the valley from the cliff, went all the way north in the dark, although they did not know when the Japanese troops outside the valley would attack, but what Tang Cheng could do now was to leave with his troops, so as not to be discovered by the Japanese troops outside the valley and chase them again. After re-entering the jungle, Tang Cheng estimated that he would be able to walk for a few miles, and finally ordered a temporary pause to rest.
"Maotou, go and ask for the number, position and name of his unit." Tang Cheng stopped only to ask the captives, he wanted to know about the Japanese army that was besieging them.
"Yes!" Zhao Liang took out the plug that was stuffed into the captive's mouth, and asked the other party in a somewhat jerky Japanese. The Japanese prisoners who were captured by Yanlong simply ignored Zhao Liang's question, and their faces were even more stubborn and unyielding.
Seeing that what he had caught was a hard bone that did not enter the oil and salt, a trace of anger flashed in the eyes of the silent rock dragon, and then he pulled out the short knife on his waist and plunged it into the thigh of the Japanese soldier, and the Japanese soldier who had been ignoring Zhao Liang finally couldn't help screaming. "Do you want to say it? said that he could let you live, but if he didn't say that he would kill you immediately. Zhao Liang asked aloud in Japanese.
"If you have the ability, kill me." The Japanese soldiers, who had endured the pain, shouted in stiff Chinese. It is not surprising that the Japanese can speak Chinese, and many of the Japanese people Tang Cheng knows can speak Chinese, especially the Japanese expatriates in the Shanghai Concession. The Japanese soldier's eyes were clearly full of hatred, and the Yan Long who looked at it smiled slightly, Zhao Liang only felt that his eyes were full of flowers, and the little thumb of the Japanese soldier's right hand had been amputated by Yan Long's swing of the knife.
"Ah, you demon, kill me, I will not give in to your people." The Japanese soldier's face was pale and painful, and cold sweat the size of a bean broke out on his forehead, but he was still very hard-mouthed. The grim-faced Yanlong ignored these, and with another wave of the short knife in his hand, the screams sounded again, and the Japanese soldier's right hand was missing two fingers. As the old saying goes, ten fingers are connected to the heart, the Japanese soldier without three fingers has been so painful that his face is distorted, Yanlong doesn't care about this, the short knife keeps changing tricks in his hand, as long as the Japanese soldier does not answer Zhao Liang's question, Yanlong will use the short knife to cut something off on him.
The Japanese soldier had only one thumb left in his right hand, but the rock dragon had changed his target and was ready to cut off the finger of his left hand. The Japanese soldier had already been frightened by the cruelty of the rock dragon, and wherever the rock dragon's eyes were fixed, a piece of the captive's body would immediately be missing. Tang Cheng turned a blind eye to this, he only wanted to know the result of the interrogation, but he didn't care about the life or death of this Japanese soldier at all. The behavior of the rock dragon made the other soldiers tremble, some people had already turned their heads in fear, George and the three of them had big noses and kept saying that the prisoner of God's original firm face finally fainted, and the rock dragon unscrewed his water bottle and splashed water on his face, and the Japanese soldier who had fainted snorted twice and came to his senses again. When Yanlong used his knife to pick open the foot armor on the captive's left foot, the spirit of the unswerving captive finally collapsed, and he finally didn't dare to ignore Zhao Liang's question anymore, and said the number and name of his unit.
It turned out that this Japanese soldier was named Hideo Takeda, and he was an infantry soldier who belonged to the 18th Division of the Japanese Army. After they appeared on the Red Clay Slope in Tangcheng, the Expeditionary Force Headquarters mobilized a large number of fighters to carry out the airdrop for them, although the Japanese army did not discover the secret on the Red Clay Slope, but the Japanese troops entering Burma had a premonition that the expeditionary force withdrawing into India would take action. The Japanese army entering Burma felt that northern Burma might be unstable, so they mobilized the 18th Division to deploy heavy troops to defend the front line of the Hukang Valley, and some small units were sent into the jungle by the 18th Division to guard against the expeditionary force troops killed from India.
Hideo Takeda's troops were ordered to build a communication station in the area, responsible for the lack of communication between the Japanese army in the jungle and the large forces in the Hukang Valley, but they did not expect that a branch of the Chinese army would have quietly appeared in northern Burma. "How many people are guarding this communication station, and what is the special situation of the firepower distribution?" Tang Cheng didn't have time to think about the matter of the Eighteenth Division, so he just hurriedly asked Hideo Takeda.
"I don't know." Hideo Takeda, who was temporarily stopped by the military doctor, saw that Tang Cheng didn't seem to believe him, and hurriedly added, "I really don't know, we are not a unit, we are only responsible for the vigilance in this area, and we are not responsible for the affairs of the communication station." ”
Yanlong gestured the short knife in front of Takeda Hideo again, Takeda Hideo was shocked and wept bitterly, kneeling down to Tang Cheng and begging: "Please, kill me, let me be happy, I really don't know." ”
"Give him a good time!" Tang Cheng saw that he couldn't ask anything anymore, and said to Yanlong with an expressionless face, as if he was talking about a very ordinary thing. Iwalong stepped forward and swiped a dagger on Takeda's neck, and blood immediately gushed out. Hideo Takeda, whose neck was opened, immediately collapsed to the ground, the blood in the wound became less and less, and then he did not move after a few convulsions, but his face was dead with an expression of pain and relief.
Yan Long, who had withdrawn the short knife, did not feel any unpleasant feeling of blood splashing on his face, and even licked the blood on his lips with his tongue in front of everyone. Almost all of these soldiers who were included in the national army detachment by Tang Cheng had killed people, but they were all shot with guns from a distance, and like Yan Long, they used cold weapons to cut each other's throats alive, and some of them even felt that it was too bloody. The air was filled with a fishy smell, and some of the soldiers really looked at the rock dragon with fear, and even more couldn't help but crouch on the ground and vomit.
Hou San waved his hand and called a few soldiers to drag Hideo Takeda's body away and dispose of it, since he followed Tang Cheng, he had also seen a lot of bloody scenes. Like Yanlong, Hou San didn't care how the Japanese soldiers died, and he would do it without hesitation, but he would only choose to break the opponent's neck, rather than rubbing the blood like Yanlong.
Takeda Hideo's body was dragged away and buried, and the smell of blood in the air seemed to be less, and Tang Cheng called Hou San and several of his officers together again. "As you all heard just now, the 18th Division of the Japanese Army has broken into zero and sent many small units into the Savage Mountain, on the one hand, to prevent our large troops from entering Burma from the Indian border through the Savage Mountain, and on the other hand, it is also to clear out our troops scattered in the Savage Mountain or the reconnaissance troops that have gone forward."
"Just now, there was a Japanese army communication station nearby, and this communication station was specially used to connect the communication between the headquarters of the 18th Division and those small units. According to what he explained, the Japanese army's communication station should be five kilometers to the west. Now we have to turn west to find out this communication station, and take the communication station, so that we can know how many infiltration troops of the 18th Division are in the Savage Mountain, so that we can be safer when we return to Ledo. ”
Although he did not fully believe Takeda Hideo's confession, Tang Cheng still decided to go to the Japanese army's communication station to take a look, if nothing else, Tang Cheng just wanted to get the telegram from the headquarters of the 18th Division to contact those infiltrating troops, so as to judge how many small Japanese troops would be in the Savage Mountain. Tang Cheng only escaped the encirclement of the Japanese army, and suffered heavy casualties among the soldiers, but Tang Cheng himself commanded the Japanese troops outside the valley, and they never imagined that an enemy army that had just experienced casualties would come back.
Tang Cheng successfully persuaded Hou San and them, and the guard post left behind came to report that a continuous explosion had sounded on the other side of the valley, and Tang Cheng, who was afraid of being entangled by the Japanese army again, immediately ordered to leave, and when the Japanese army, who also suffered heavy casualties, chased here, Tang Cheng and they had already taken advantage of the cover of night to leave for a long time.
