Chapter 64: A Battle of Disappointment

In order to defend this mountain pass and block the passage of the Chinese rout army to the north, the Japanese army team stationed in the mountain pass has paid more than 20 casualties, and almost half of these 20 casualties are caused by the late-night sneak attack of the Chinese rout. Because of the blockade of the mountain pass by the Japanese army, the night raids and destruction of the Chinese army have become more and more intense, and they have been repeatedly successful, and the Japanese soldiers who are forced to stand guard are also open their rifles at night and are ready to fire at any time. The bullets in the chamber of the gun had already been loaded, and the sentry's finger had been buckled to the bolt, and the sentries would shoot wildly at the slightest movement.

As soon as the gun in the sentry's hand sounded, all the Japanese soldiers on the position would get up and shoot, and the soldiers in the whole squad were deeply affected, and they had to be careful and vigilant when they couldn't sleep well at night, and they had to overload the demarcation of the border during the day. According to the usual practice, a group of routs were wiped out just yesterday, and there should not be a rout tonight, so these Japanese soldiers were relieved to be bold and sleep in a down-to-earth manner.

When it was almost dawn, not only the sentries on the Japanese position shrank their necks, but even Tang Cheng tried to curl up as much as possible, because it would be a little cold. The temperature in mountainous areas varies too much between day and night, especially in today's terrain with mountains, trees and water. Tang Cheng began to secretly move the joints of his body, looking at this, the temperature rise may be hopeless in a short time, maybe there will be fog for a while, Tang Cheng moved his body to prepare for the attack for a while.

After secretly moving his joints, Tang Cheng felt much better, and there seemed to be a little heat on his body. People can easily get tired during long periods of incubation, and muscle and joint movements like Tang Cheng's are necessary, at least to remind them of their movements. When the sky was white, Tang Cheng turned his head to look at Tan Fei who was not far away, and at this time, Tan Fei's face was also as white as Tang Cheng, and he knew at a glance that he couldn't stand the cold.

Waiting is patient, but fortunately, after a hard night, there is no discomfort or impatience. When it comes to life and death, even if the environment is a little worse, these guys behind Tang Cheng may persevere. Tang Cheng gestured to everyone within his sight, asking them to seize the time to move their bodies, even if they only moved the joints of their hands and feet, it would be better than stiffening their whole bodies for a while and becoming a live target of the Japanese army.

Tang Cheng turned his attention back to the narrow mountain passage below the mountain pass, which was the only way to cross this mountain pass, according to Tang Cheng's visual observation, the trail was at most three or four meters wide, and I really didn't know how there could be such a terrain in northern Myanmar. Under the cover of the rising sun, the mist in the mountains is ethereal, dispersed and rises, the branches and leaves shake gently in the wind, and large dew falls, Tang Cheng is glad that it is not rain, otherwise he can only curse in his heart for this damn bad weather in northern Myanmar.

Ready, just as everyone was secretly moving their hands and feet, three figures appeared in the trench in the distance, and Tang Cheng knew that it was Hou San and the Yanlong brothers. The whole night of lurking did not affect Hou San's skills, and under the gaze of Tang Cheng and others, Hou San and Yanlong brothers, who were biting bayonets, climbed into the trench. There was no gunshot, no exclamation, Tang Cheng, who had been waiting for a long time, suddenly got up and jumped up, and quickly ran towards the moat.

There were no gunshots and exclamations, which meant that Hou San and they were safe now, and it was possible that the shabby-looking trench was just an ornament at all, and there were no Japanese soldiers stationed in it at all, no matter what, this was a good opportunity for them to attack Tangcheng.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and a cloud of smoke rose from the moat, and the black gunpowder smoke was very conspicuous in the morning sun, followed by the sound of gunshots and screams, and Tang Cheng, who was only a few meters away from the moat, couldn't help but speed up.

"Da Da" shot out a gunfire from a bush more than 20 meters away from the trench, and the gunfire was directed at the trench that Tang Cheng jumped into, and the dense bullets really hit the side wall of the trench like rain. In just an instant, the Japanese positions above the trenches were densely rained with gunfire, and the noisy gunfire and shouts immediately broke the silence of dawn. The Japanese army directly used two light machine guns at one time to block the four Tangcheng people who had entered the trench, and now they were suppressed by the enemy's firepower if they failed to attack, and if they wanted to attack strongly, Tangcheng they had to rely on their own rear fire support.

With a crisp sound of "dang", a machine gunner fell in the Japanese army, and the bullet from the dice pierced through the steel helmet of the Japanese machine gunner very lightly, and "dang" another machine gunner was also shot and fell. "Let's go, get on it." There was a temporary pause in the Japanese machine guns, and Tan Fei, who seized the opportunity, shouted and jumped into the trench, followed by several routs under Dong Liancheng and Zhou Chao. Naturally, the Japanese army could not watch the enemy approach them little by little, and the machine guns that had stopped roared again, but they could not hit two consecutive shots, and the two new machine gunners of the Japanese army were also sent back to their hometowns by dice.

The Japanese machine guns stopped again, and the routs who crept up jumped into the trenches one after another like dumplings, Tang Cheng subconsciously counted the number of people, and before the real assault began, there were already 4 fewer people on his side. "I don't think we need to make a move, just the dice alone can kill all these devil soldiers." Hou San, whose arm was cut by shrapnel from a grenade, looked at Tang Cheng with a smile, and after a while, the two machine guns of the Japanese army paused several times in succession.

Hou San's words made Tang Cheng laugh too, if it was calculated according to the fact that the Japanese army killed two shooters by the dice every time, it really didn't take a few rounds, and the dice could kill all these Japanese soldiers. "The little devil is down, fire, fire." Tang Cheng took the time to poke his head out of the trench and looked up, just in time to see a few Japanese soldiers rushing towards this side with guns, and then shouted and hit a fan with the submachine gun in his hand. At least two of the Japanese soldiers who were scattered by the submachine guns were killed by Tang Cheng, and the machine guns of the Manniu also took the opportunity to fire, and the remaining Japanese soldiers were temporarily suppressed and could not move.

These Japanese soldiers who tried to rush down were lying on the ground at the moment and did not dare to move, if they hadn't used the corpses of their companions as cover, they might have been swept into honeycomb coal by the brute bulls with light machine guns. "Da Zhuang, give me the grenadier." There were not many bullets in the submachine gun, so Tang Cheng called Ma Dazhuang to his side, in this kind of terrain that was not very favorable to his side, the curved firepower of the grenadier was far better than the light machine gun in the hands of the brute.

The Japanese soldiers, who had been using machine guns with Manniu for two or three years, tried to turn around and climb back, regardless of the danger, and the Japanese machine guns that had changed shooters again also fired at Manniu's side, trying to cover their soldiers from danger with firepower. With a bang, the grenade fired by Tang Cheng with a grenadier lifted one of the Japanese machine guns into the air, and the routs in the trench applauded loudly, and the "boom" was again, and a few strands of earthy yellow cloth floated in the bushes in the distance with the smoke of the explosion.

The Japanese army with the superior terrain obviously did not expect that there would be imperial grenadiers in the hands of the defeated soldiers who attacked themselves, and the machine guns of the brute bulls were used to attract the firepower of the Japanese army, and the grenadiers of Tangcheng were used to clean up the Japanese army's lithium batteries in one place, and where would the dice in the distance let go of such a good opportunity, taking advantage of the panic of the Japanese army, the machine gun shooters who replaced the Japanese army were knocked down twice in succession. "The little devil retreated." Before Tang Cheng could shoot another grenade out of the grenadier, he heard Zhao Liang's excited shout, and when he looked over, more than a dozen earthy yellow figures were hurrying towards the heights.

"Boom" "Boom" Hou San and Dong Liancheng on the two wings of the trench each threw a grenade, and before the smoke cleared, the two of them each rushed up along the traffic trench connecting the trench above. After the two Japanese machine guns were removed by Tang Cheng's grenadiers, the Japanese light machine gun became the only strong firepower weapon here.

"Stop, stop, you can't fight anymore, you don't see how the barrel of the gun is red." The bull held on to the machine gun and didn't let go, just kept fighting, and the two ammunition men assigned to him were already tired just by pressing bullets in the magazine. Seeing that Hou San and the others had rushed into the previous trench, Tang Cheng had time to turn his head to look at the wild bull that was not very far away from him, but this look was a big startle, and the barrel of the manniu's machine gun was already faintly red.

Raising his foot and kicking the bull hard, Tang Cheng threw the grenadier to Ma Dazhuang to carry, and then beckoned the rest of the people to move down the next trench. Storming the third line of trenches, there were casualties on the Tangcheng side, but the number of Japanese troops also dropped sharply to less than 12 men. Paying the price of two casualties again, in the end, the remaining 6 Japanese soldiers died in the machine gun strafing of the manniu, and everyone, including Tang Cheng, thought that the Japanese soldiers on the mountain pass position would have to pay at least half of the casualties on their side, but the actual casualty figures made Tang Cheng want to pull Li Fu and beat him up.

I thought it would be a very difficult assault battle, which took less than half an hour to come to an end, and the whole battle was completely beyond Tang Cheng's expectations, and this battle was unusually easy to win. Everyone prepared for the night as if facing the enemy, but some of those who used rifles fired only one shot, and some did not even fire a single shot, and the battle was over, and everyone was confused, what kind of war was this? 13 to 52, this is the battle loss ratio between the Tang side and the Japanese army, the Tang side suffered 13 casualties, and the 52 Japanese soldiers stationed here were all killed.
