Chapter 117: The Goal Emerges
No matter what it is, as long as there is no distinction between priorities and priorities, there will generally be such and such problems, Tang Cheng commanded Zhang Leshan to select the 100 elite soldiers who had just left Tianpu Village, and the 50 people walking in the rear team were already making a fuss, the reason was that Tang Cheng took the front team of 50 people to take the official road, but these 50 of them had to march in the field to follow up.
"You are an immortal, Lao Tzu is a soldier with a gun, not a bandit running all over the mountain, why do they take the official road, Lao Tzu should follow in this wilderness?" Most of the 50 people in the back team pointed at the old Northeast who led the team and scolded, at first the old Northeast didn't understand what these guys were shouting, and when the old Northeast understood the meaning, his face full of beard immediately turned cold.
"I said you calves, why are you willing to take you? If it weren't for your bullshit and what kind of head of the regiment was begging for nothing, Lao Tzu would have been lying in Changsha City drinking and eating meat, and he would still need to wander around in this place where rabbits don't shit? You're really treating yourself like a dish, I think you're a bunch of undercut heads. If it weren't for the fact that this place was far away from the Japanese army, the bayonet on Lao Northeast's waist would have been thrown out and killed the most ferocious guys.
"Wang Jiang, you are their temporary captain, and they handed it over to you." There was a riot in the rear team, Tang Cheng didn't say anything at all, and directly pushed out the sergeant he picked out, all of whom were from Sichuan, and their own affairs should be solved by their own people. "Wu Laosan, how far is it from the Zhoujiawan you said?" After going out for almost ten miles along the official road, Tang Cheng asked Wu Laosan, who was forcibly pulled by himself, with some panting.
Lao Northeast was called back to the front team by Tang Cheng, and Wu Laosan, who was not weak, became the ammunition hand of Lao Northeast, carrying a backpack full of bullets, Wu Laosan was already tired and panting for breath, and was asked by Tang Cheng about Zhoujiawan, Wu Laosan even stopped. Wu Laosan stopped and simply wanted to take a breath, but before he could open his mouth, gunshots rang out in the water fork in front of him, and an old northeast tiger walking beside him pounced on Tang Cheng on the official road first, and then raised his leg to kick the unbelievable Wu Laosan to the ground.
Sudden gunshots rang out, and the Sichuan soldiers on the official road also dispersed in a hurry, some people climbed directly under the roadbed like the old northeast, and some simply ran directly into the field on the side of the official road, and some guys who didn't know the so-called still stupidly stayed on the official road and looked around. Fortunately, the bullet was not fired at Tang Cheng, and the location of the gunfire was still some distance from here, and the humming and chirping Wu Laosan was rolling under the roadbed trying to stay away from the old northeast, but Tang Cheng, who was dragged down the roadbed by the old northeast, had already got up and stood up.
"Wu Laosan, what's the place behind the hillside in front?" Tang Cheng, who returned to the official road, had no time to pay attention to the scattered Sichuan soldiers, but stood on the official road with a telescope and looked around for a while, and then pointed to the slope hundreds of meters away in front of him and asked Wu Laosan. "Assemble, let's go to the weedy slope." Tang Cheng took Lao Dongbei and Wu Laosan and began to kick the scattered Sichuan soldiers back into the queue one by one, if Tang Cheng's judgment was not wrong, the place where the gun was fired just now was behind the weedy slope.
No one spoke, no one moved, Tang Cheng and the 100 Sichuan soldiers were lying neatly on the weedy slope, looking at the dozen or so figures who were rushing towards this side from a distance. "Boom" and "Boom" two explosions, as if two pillars of smoke rose from the running crowd, Tang Cheng used the binoculars in his hand to clearly see that three men dressed in ordinary people were pushed out of the distance by the air wave of the explosion. "It's a mortar, it's not a grenadier." Old Northeast whispered close to Tang Cheng's ear, and the latter nodded in agreement.
The explosion just now was indeed not a movement made by a grenadier, Tang Cheng saw with his own eyes in the telescope that the guy who was directly hit by the shell was torn in two by shrapnel, and the grenade of the grenade did not have such power and destructive power. Moving the telescope and looking back, Tang Cheng tried to find the location of the mortar, or maybe it was too far away, Tang Cheng searched twice but couldn't find where the mortar was.
Someone began to speak among the Sichuan soldiers lying on his side, and Tang Cheng immediately turned around and shouted, "Shut up, if you don't want to follow, go back to Longgang Town now, and make a sound, Lao Tzu will kill someone." Tang Cheng looked around left and right, coupled with the suppression of Lao Dongbei and Wang Jiang, these so-called elites closed their mouths a little stupidly and stopped making noise. When the Japanese army's iconic earthy yellow color appeared, only five of the dozen or so people they were chasing were left.
"You take a team of people around and go behind them to find the devil's mortar, and then kill them, and I'll take the remaining team of people to stay here and ambush them for a while, and see if I can take advantage of them first." After whispering a few words to Lao Dongbei, Tang Cheng called Wang Jiang to his side, "I know that there are officers among you people, this may be what your regiment commander meant, I don't care about it." But I want you to tell them that they may have to fight with the Japanese in the first round, and I hope they don't disobey the order to go. ”
When these Sichuan soldiers selected by Zhang Leshan boarded the boat to cross the river, Tang Cheng, who had paid attention to the movements of these soldiers, had already seen some suspicions, although some of the guys in the bastard were no different from other soldiers, but their momentum and eyes were different from ordinary soldiers. After crossing the river, on the way to Tianpu Village, Tang Cheng secretly asked Lao Dongbei to pay attention to those guys who looked okay, and it turned out that Lao Dongbei's conclusion was almost the same as Tang Cheng's, these weird guys were officers under Zhang Leshan at all.
Sending 100 people to follow Tang Cheng across the river to find trouble with the little devils at one time, it is impossible for Zhang Leshan to make a move without preparation, and it is understandable to send a few officers under him to disguise themselves as soldiers, Tang Cheng just doesn't want these guys to disobey his orders with Zhang Leshan's support. The ambush was nothing more than those few steps, and when Lao Dongbei disappeared from sight with half of his manpower, Tang Cheng ordered to leave only a few observation posts on the weedy slope, and the rest of the people followed him and quickly retreated to the water pool 300 meters away from the weedy slope.
Yangxin County belongs to the Hubei boundary, and the water forks here are not like the stinky water ditches that Tang Cheng saw in Beiping, the water forks here are shallow, but most of them are overgrown with aquatic weeds and reeds. "Silence, all quietly waiting." At Tang Cheng's suggestion, Wu Laosan, who followed Tang Cheng back, turned around and angrily scolded those whispering guys, with Tang Cheng supporting him, Wu Laosan's courage was also much greater, especially now that Lao Dongbei was not around.
The observation posts left on the weedy slope by Tang Cheng quickly jumped down the grass slope in great strides, and a hundred meters behind them were the men who were being chased by the Japanese army. "Here, I looked at more than 30 little devils, but I didn't look at the small cannon, but there was a machine gun." The observation post that jumped down the weedy slope reported what he saw to Tang Cheng, but the latter still let everyone hide in the water and wait for orders.
It was purely Tang Cheng's helplessness to let the ambush people hide in the water spool, there was no suitable place to hide on both sides of the official road under the weedy slope, and it was too late to dig a bunker now, Tang Cheng could only choose this piece of water that was close to the official road to hide. The people who were being chased by the Japanese army were getting closer and closer, Tang Cheng's brows were also furrowed, he originally thought that these guys who were being chased by the Japanese army were guerrillas, but when these people ran closer, Tang Cheng realized that he had misjudged, these guys who were being chased by the Japanese army were clearly people from the national army, and the guerrillas would not fiddle with Thomson submachine guns.
The last five people were left before the group of people who were pursued by the Japanese fled up the weedy slope, and now there are only three people left who have escaped down the weedy slope, two with submachine guns and one with Mauser rifles. The more than 30 Japanese soldiers mentioned by the observation post chased down the weedy slope like a swarm, and Tang Cheng, who was hiding in the water, could even hear the shouts and curses of those Japanese soldiers who thought they had been caught. "Ready, fire at my command." Seeing that the Japanese soldiers had rushed down the weedy slope, Tang Cheng lowered his voice and ordered to prepare for battle.
Zhang Leshan sent 100 people to Tang Cheng to take him across the river, and the weapons and equipment used by these 100 people were also the best in his hands, so Tang Cheng was not worried that there would be something like a gun not firing at that time. Ambush with almost twice the enemy's strength, Tang Cheng has never done such a thing, after leaving Mengcheng, all the battles of the second company, Tang Cheng almost won by a slight momentum, and now with sufficient troops, Tang Cheng intends to leave these 30 Japanese soldiers all on the official road next to Shuixiaozi.
Tang Cheng originally thought that the three Chinese characters that escaped from the weedy slope would also hide in the water pool, but the other party had no intention of staying at all, so he rushed down the weedy slope and fled directly along the official road in the direction of Fushui. Tang Cheng, who was still thinking about preventing the other party from entering the water, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the key to successfully ambushing these Japanese soldiers was the bait, and these three guys who were being chased by the Japanese army were the best bait. If they enter the water, not only will they expose Tang Cheng, but they will also attract the artillery bombardment of the Japanese army, so there is no need to stop the other party, and Tang Cheng will be considered trouble-free.
The target who was being pursued fled along the official road, and the Japanese soldiers who chased down the weedy slope naturally did not pay attention to the water pool on the side of the official road. "Bang" A gunshot rang out, and Tang Cheng's raised arm had not yet fallen, and some of the Sichuan soldiers behind him disobeyed the order and pulled the trigger in advance. "Fire, fire." Unable to look for the disobedient guy, Tang Cheng shouted loudly and pulled the trigger of the rifle in his hand.
