Chapter 48: The Pursuit
Now the gunshots behind him are completely inaudible, and almost everyone chased into the forest according to Tang Cheng's orders, Liu Zi, there were only military doctors and some wounded soldiers here. Having been hastily bandaged by a military doctor, Tang Cheng took a few carbine magazines from a wounded soldier and rushed through the open field into the woods. The position of the open land is higher, and when you look down, it is full of woods, but when Tang Cheng entered the forest, all he saw was the fog that had not dispersed.
When I reached the ridge at the end of this ravine, I saw a thick fog and a white expanse, and I couldn't see anything in the distance. This is in a foreign jungle, and I don't know where to go to keep up and find my own people. Although it is not very panicked, anxiety is inevitable. He looked back again, and the road was still white and foggy, and the long grass from the ridge in the ditch was lying down. This is very unfavorable, and I have "revealed" my whereabouts.
I think that the crowd of people chasing the Japanese army is already far away, and the surroundings of Tangcheng are quiet, and I can only hear the crackling sound of the dew falling after the fog condenses in the forest, monotonous and lonely. Occasionally, the long grass that bends over and can't bear the condensation of dew will shake off a series of crystal clear beads, and startle people when they straighten up. Tang Cheng dragged his tired body and carefully searched for the Japanese soldiers who might be hiding, but suddenly heard the sound of gunfire not far away.
Hearing the gunshots, Tang Cheng's spirit, which had been highly concentrated, became a little excited, a kind of military belligerent instinct and excitement. The exhaustion seemed to be swept away in an instant, and Tang Cheng was about to go over to see the movement, but a shot rang out from the left flank where he was. This time Tang Cheng heard it clearly, the gunfire just now was the sound of the Japanese army's 38 rifle after it was fired, and the gunfire did not come far, less than 30 meters to his left.
At this moment, there is no part of Tang Cheng's body that is dry, and the military uniform that has been wet by the fog can really squeeze out water, which is the case in the subtropical jungle, if it doesn't rain, it will also wet his clothes. Tang Cheng turned his head and moved towards his left flank, such foggy weather was actually very unfavorable for jungle pursuit. However, from another point of view, the dense fog is the best cover, a good cover for the pursuer or the pursued, and in such an environment, only the reaction and luck of both sides can be striking.
Tang Cheng walked less than twenty meters towards his left flank very carefully, but he saw that the fog in the valley below was gone. It turns out that the fog here is only on the mountains, suspended in the air, but there is very little fog in the lower places. Stepping over a corpse on the ground, Tang Cheng saw that not far from him, in the valley mouth on his right, there were many Japanese soldiers running along the bank of a small stream. He wanted to take a closer look, but the distance was too far for him to see very clearly, but he could confirm that they should all be Japanese soldiers, and judging by the number of people, there was about a squad.
Seeing those enemies hurrying towards the valley, Tang Cheng became nervous and anxious, and then sped up and rushed down. I was in a hurry, making the grass loud, but I didn't care, and suddenly a Japanese soldier stood up from the grass on the edge of the dense fog on the ridge, and happened to collide with Tang Cheng, who was moving downward. Tang Cheng did not hesitate, raised his hand and shot a shot, and one shot hit the Japanese soldier in the face, and the Japanese soldier who was shot screamed, and rolled down the hillside.
By this time the valley was already engaged in fighting, and heavy gunfire was heard from the ridge at the end of the valley. It seems that there are already people in front of them to intercept those Japanese soldiers. When Tang Cheng heard the gunshot, he hurriedly increased his pace, and continued to run forward, and in an instant, he had quickly run down the hill to the edge of the stream. The situation was now quite critical for the Japanese army, there were already pursuers blocking the way in front, and if there was any more interceptive fire from behind, those of them who tried to escape into the valley would be very passive.
Tang Cheng, who was moving along the stream, didn't aim too much, but instinctively fired a shot at a Japanese soldier running in front of him. "Bang" Tang Cheng's shot did not hit the Japanese soldier he was aiming at, but it hit the other person next to the Japanese soldier and knocked him to the ground. The Japanese soldiers who were attacked on their backs were stunned for a moment, and immediately some of them lay down in the grass and opened fire on Tang Cheng, while others quickly moved to their right, trying to occupy a slightly advantageous terrain.
Tang Cheng hid his body after firing a shot, so no one who educated the Japanese soldiers who attacked from behind knew where the bullets came from. Tang Cheng saw through the gap in the grass that some of them turned around in the grass and shot at him repeatedly, so he hid even more tightly, and without a clear certainty, Tang Cheng decided not to shoot recklessly, as long as he entangled this group of Japanese soldiers here.
Everyone was in a stalemate, and after a while, they didn't see Tang Cheng shooting, and finally a few bold Japanese soldiers began to crawl towards the mouth of the valley again. As they climbed, they looked back. Tang Cheng had no choice but to raise his gun and open fire. Sure enough, the Japanese troops moving towards the mouth of the valley were afraid of gunfire from behind, but Tang Cheng's successive fires also exposed their positions to the other side. The Japanese troops who were temporarily delayed at the mouth of the valley not only had to exchange fire with Tang Cheng behind them, but also had to worry about the firepower from above the mouth of the valley, and the scene became a little uncontrollable and chaotic.
Tang Cheng, who found that his position was not very good, and his vision was also greatly affected, was ready to change his position, carrying his carbine, Tang Cheng moved to the foot of the mountain on one side, Tang Cheng's speed was very fast, before being discovered by those Japanese soldiers, Tang Cheng, who was carrying a carbine, had safely run behind a big tree at the foot of the mountain, as long as he moved up a little more, Tang Cheng, who was condescending, could see most of these Japanese soldiers.
"Bang" Tang Cheng stretched out a big tree and quickly fired a shot at the two Japanese soldiers at the foot of the mountain, one in front of the other and one behind him, and the bullet hit the arched shoulder and back of one person behind. The Japanese soldier who was shot and pounced on the back of the man in front of him threw himself on the back, panicked as if he had been bitten by a poisonous snake, then straightened his waist and continued to run towards the mouth of the valley in a panic. The Japanese soldier was very fast, and he was about to rush into Taniguchi, but he was hit in the back by a bullet from above Taniguchi, and the Japanese soldier who was shot also threw forward, fell on a protruding rock, struggled to turn over, and rolled on the ground and screamed.
Tang Cheng didn't care about his life or death, he quickly put away his guns and continued to move up the hillside, and the dozen or so Japanese soldiers who were blocked here by the front and back were so anxious that they couldn't care so much, and people kept standing up and running towards the valley. Tang Cheng, who was lying on the ridge, exhaled and pointed his gun at the Japanese soldiers under the hillside, although the position of his fairy Ah was not the best, but he could already see the position of most of the Japanese soldiers under the hillside, and these Japanese soldiers were within his shooting range.
Just when Tang Cheng on the hillside was about to shoot, he accidentally found a Japanese soldier who looked a little different, picked up the binoculars and looked carefully, Tang Cheng laughed inexplicably. What caught his eye was a Japanese soldier with a pistol, who was hiding next to a bush at the foot of the mountain, where he was shouting with a pistol, apparently giving orders to the remaining men.
Tang Cheng had heard that some generals of the national army would disguise themselves as soldiers and flee the battlefield when they were defeated, but he did not expect that he would meet a Japanese officer who also disguised himself as an ordinary soldier. The guy who was being targeted by Tang Cheng was half-squatting there, relying on a big stone next to the bushes as a cover, just kept shouting and commanding, when the other party's upper body shook very sharply, Tang Cheng, who didn't have the marksmanship of dice, was really a little difficult to aim.
Tang Cheng decided to kill this Japanese officer disguised as an ordinary soldier first, although it was not easy to target the other party, but Tang Cheng now had patience, he wanted this goods to disappear in this world forever. The Japanese officer disguised as an ordinary soldier showed his figure several times in a row, Tang Cheng couldn't help but didn't shoot, he had to wait for this guy to show his head completely, and he was 100% sure before shooting him.
The gunfire in the jungle in the distance had completely subsided, Tang Cheng knew that the pursuit mission of his soldiers was almost complete, and now there were only these Japanese troops who were blocked here by the front and rear attacks, and only after they were eliminated could this counter-ambush war be truly over. Up to now, Tang Cheng's side was still silent, and Tang Cheng completely calmed down, just waiting to pull the trigger when the Japanese officer showed his body shape. After waiting for two or three minutes, sure enough, after confirming that it was safe and there was no danger, the Japanese officer disguised as an ordinary soldier slowly stood up from behind the big rock.
He first glanced suspiciously at the mountain ridge on this side of Tangcheng, then waved his hand and shouted something, and immediately several Japanese soldiers stood up from the grass behind him and quickly approached him. "Don't move, just stand like this." Tang Cheng looked ahead, but his mouth muttered as if he was praying. When the Japanese officer completely appeared in his sight, Tang Cheng did not hesitate to shoot at the Japanese officer. Unfortunately, his shot was crooked, and the bullet did not hit the target, but only hit a large rock next to the Japanese officer, and the bullet even burst out of sparks on the stone.
"Damn, I missed it." Tang Cheng cursed secretly, and fired at the big stone again and again, and the bullet that shot out of the chamber still failed to hit the Japanese officer, but knocked the two Japanese soldiers who were close to the officer to the ground. "Damn, he still dodged it." Tang Cheng, who saw the Japanese officer retract behind the big stone and change the magazine for the carbine, couldn't help but curse again.
