Chapter 17: Wan Town in Distress
Wan Town is no longer the Wan Town where they stopped briefly when they passed through Tang City, and the current Wan Town was recaptured by the domestic expeditionary force from the Japanese army, especially the Wan Town Bridge, there are still traces of this battle. The town was now full of refugees, and their jeeps in Tangcheng had to move at turtle speed, and there were so many refugees here that the drivers were afraid that they would accidentally hurt the refugees crowded around the jeeps.
"How so?" Tang Cheng, who had been leisurely all the way, couldn't help but sigh, most of the refugees as far as the eye could see were fleeing from Burma, when the Japanese army occupied Wan Town and advanced to the country, these refugees were chased by the Japanese army all the way to Kunming, and now I know that the expeditionary force not only recovered Wan Town, but also controlled most of northern Myanmar Indeed, these unwilling refugees are back, and they are ready to cross the Wan Town River to return to Burma.
"It's all Chinese, why can't they stay in China? Aren't there enough Chinese dead in Myanmar? Tang Cheng, who jumped out of the jeep, grabbed a young man who looked like a student and shouted, the other party wanted to break free from Tang Cheng, but he was afraid of angering the cold-faced officer, and finally Mike came over and separated the two.
"This military master doesn't know, although we are safe in the country, we have no home or job, who will look down on us. Although there is still a war on the Burmese side, those Burmese people know almost nothing other than hunting and farming, and they still have to rely on us to do it. Who would want to leave their homeland, but in order to live, there is no way to do it. A middle-aged man who looked like a businessman helped the young man defend a few words, but Hou Sanyi, who rushed over after hearing the news, kicked him to the ground.
"In the final analysis, it's all for the sake of profit, you don't have to say it so well, Lao Tzu doesn't believe that you stay in Yunnan to farm, and the government will ignore you?" The splitter snatched the suitcase that was held in the arms of the middle-aged man, Hou San snatched the machete from the hand of a member of the team next to him and split the suitcase, and the box was full of gold and silver jewelry and ocean money banknotes that immediately appeared in everyone's sight. "See, this money is enough to buy a manor outside Kunming, and I keep saying that I can't stay in China, I think I'm afraid your old boy didn't tell the truth."
Hou San was born as a bandit, and he could see at a glance that the middle-aged man had money in the suitcase in his hand, he was not trying to rob the middle-aged man's money, he was just angry that people who already had such a net worth were unwilling to stay in the country, and they had to return to Myanmar with a full of lies. Seeing that Hou San split his suitcase with a knife, the middle-aged man who was kneeling on the ground hurriedly rushed over to try to protect the money in the suitcase, Hou San stepped forward to beat the middle-aged man, but was stopped by Tang Cheng, who came back to his senses.
There were a lot of people around, including a few soldiers in national army uniforms, but no one dared to stand up and help the middle-aged man speak, and everyone's eyes had already fallen on the money in the suitcase. Tang Cheng asked Liu Shishi for an empty backpack and threw it to the middle-aged man lying on the suitcase, "We won't touch any of your things, my people just beat you, I can apologize to you for him, but you have to explain to me clearly, where did these things in your suitcase come from?" Don't tell me that I brought it back from Burma when you fled. ”
Tang Cheng slowly squatted down, and pulled out a jade pendant and a silver collar worn by the child after the full moon from the leather box under the middle-aged man, "These two things are not the style that Burmese people like, if you say that this is worn by your family, then call someone for me." You can take whatever you bring back from Myanmar to wherever you want, but you shouldn't take advantage of the war season to dump domestic things outside, what is the difference between this and those traitors. ”
Tang Cheng gave the middle-aged man a traitor's hat with one mouth, in fact, even Tang Cheng himself would not believe this statement, but the people around him who were watching the excitement didn't know, and some people even cheered for Tang Cheng's words. Hou San's outburst and Tang Cheng's actions came too suddenly, and Mike, who caught up from behind, didn't know what was going on here, but when he saw Tang Cheng questioning the middle-aged man, Hou San was still stepping on the middle-aged man's waist with his foot, and Mike came over to try to persuade Tang Cheng to stop.
"Slap" only heard a gunshot, and Mike, who had just walked to Tang Cheng's side and had not had time to speak, had already fallen to the ground with his thighs covered, and Tang Cheng immediately shouted, "Disperse, there are gunmen." The fit pounced on Mike and stretched out his hand, Tang Cheng really wanted to remind Hou San, but Hou San had already dragged the middle-aged man to fight and roll on the ground. There was a snap, another gunshot, and a bullet hit a cloud of dust not far from Tang Cheng, and the splashed pebbles hit Tang Cheng's face with pain for a while.
Two gunshots rang out in quick succession, causing the refugees who had gathered to watch the excitement to disperse like a tide, and the national army troops guarding Wan Town heard the gunshots and soldiers rushed over, and the whole scene began to be chaotic. Tang Cheng's soldiers had all fallen to the ground, and some had already locked on to the target according to the direction the bullet was coming from, and was firing at the direction where the bullet was flying. Tang Cheng dragged Mike, who was wounded in the thigh, to the back of the nearest jeep, the assassin who attacked them was only one person, and the pistol in the assassin's hand could not penetrate the cover of the jeep.
Seeing Liu Shishi and the others shoot out the bullets as if they didn't need money, Tang Cheng trembled with anger, he had never seen such a loser. Tang Cheng immediately shouted, "Don't shoot continuously, shoot spot, shoot spot!" However, in the crisp and dense gunshots, Tang Cheng's shouts could not be heard by Liu Shishi and them at all.
"Don't shoot bursts, shoot with bursts, hear me, you damn guys!" Hou San, who had a loud voice, began to repeat Tang Cheng's words loudly, his voice was louder than Tang Cheng's, and after shouting a few times, Liu Shimen no longer shot blindly, but shot one shot after another.
Through the binoculars in his hand, Tang Cheng could clearly see that more than twenty meters away from us, a figure was running in a zigzag shape, concealing its figure, and rushing towards the woods on the side of the road. The figure moved very quickly, and in a few seconds, it was possible to disappear from Tang Cheng's sight. At this moment, a gunshot rang out in Tang Cheng's ears, and it was the dice that were shot. The first bullet grazed the enemy's head and struck a tree, and the man was stunned, paused in place, and before he could move again, another bullet struck him in front of him, shaking the bush in front of him.
The guy who tried to rush into the woods was so frightened that he hid behind a tree, and the dice and the snipers shot at the tree one after another, blocking all the retreats on both sides of the tree, covering the rock dragons who had already made a roundabout way and rushing up. The rock dragons moved fast and quickly moved to the vicinity of the tree. Tang Cheng saw from a distance in the telescope that a fish leaped to the back of the tree, and then he and another person hugged him and fell out. The scouts around him hurriedly stepped forward and separated the two of them with their hands and feet, and escorted the guy who was shooting at Mike and Tang Cheng with his hands cut in his back.
Seeing the captives being escorted over, Tang Cheng, who was hiding behind the jeep, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly called a military doctor to examine the wound on Mike's thigh. "You said you didn't see clearly and came to this troubled water, but fortunately, the bullet only hit your thigh, if it hits the vital part, your life will be here today." Knowing that Mike's thigh injury was not fatal, Tang Cheng, who was secretly glad, also had to sarcastically say a few words to Mike.
The national army troops stationed at Wanmachi Bridge happened to arrive at this time, and it was Huang Hanju who came to contact him, only saying that he had captured two Japanese spies, and the middle-aged man who had been held down by Hou San and the gunman who escaped and was captured were escorted to Tang Cheng. Hou San smiled and grabbed the middle-aged man's right hand and raised it to show Mike and Lenny, "A businessman, the tiger's mouth and index finger have calluses on it, this is something that only veterans can have, and dare to fucking say that he is innocent?" ”
Mike, who had already been bandaged by the military doctor, knew that Hou San and Tang Cheng had already seen the strangeness of this middle-aged man early on, so that the shot he received was really self-inflicted. "Ordinary refugees can't wait to hide when they see us, and when this guy talks to the chief, I don't think it's right. This cargo station is straight, it is obviously a military person, the veteran of the national army or the deserter will only occupy the mountains and grass, where will there be people who come to Myanmar to beg for a living. Hou San's answer surprised Mike even more.
Tang Cheng and Hou San's explanations left the middle-aged man who refused to admit it speechless, and the young man who tried to shoot Tang Cheng by the student had already been beaten by the angry Liu Shi and Tan Fei, and if it weren't for Zhao Liang and the others to stop them, the two might have beaten the gunman to death a long time ago. "We still have official business, these two Japanese spies will be handed over to you to deal with, find a ruthless character to interrogate well, maybe we can dig out something useful." Huang Han took the opportunity to hand over the two captured Japanese intelligence officers to the local garrison, but the suitcase full of gold and silver jewelry had long been hidden in the jeep by the dice.
Tang Cheng didn't even think that the first thing he did when he stepped into the country was to catch two Japanese spies, let alone that Mike would be shot because of this, but fortunately, the wound was not fatal, otherwise he would feel guilty for the rest of his life. The veterans of the national army in the action team were very excited, and Tang Cheng was the same, and the thing he wanted most now was to return to Kunming earlier.
