Chapter 140: Bloody Battle to the End

Jiangbei!

This is a dense forest, full of common tall trees in the south, and there are many verdant bamboos dotted in the middle, and occasionally you can see a few bamboo shoots, quietly hidden in the bamboo bushes, waiting to be dug up or slowly grow old.

Under a big tree, Tang Yao was resting against the tree.

Now he is wearing a military uniform, but it is in tatters, covered with gunsmoke and mouths, it seems that he has experienced a lot of fighting to be so broken.

His face looked very haggard, and his face, which was originally a little rich, was now thin, even a little scary, his cheekbones were raised high, and his eye sockets were deeply sunken, which was really a little scary.

The jungle was very quiet, and not far from him, the men who came with him were leaning or sitting, resting with their eyes closed.

Outside of these people was the special battalion that had protected him in the first place, and now there were less than 300 of the original 500 people, half of whom had fallen on the way.

Along the way, the fighting never seemed to stop, from crossing the Yangtze River into the combat zone between the two sides, devils, bandits, and homecoming regiments appeared one after another, and the soldiers of the national army often appeared, so that one battle broke out after another.

In the first battle of Jiangbei, the special service battalion encountered a brigade of devils, and the two sides fought fiercely, fighting from evening to noon the next day, and finally the Japanese army suffered heavy losses and had to withdraw from the battle.

Although the battle was won, more than 70 soldiers of the special service battalion fell on this hot land, interpreting the responsibility of a soldier with their lives and blood.

Defending the country and protecting our mountains and rivers is sometimes not only a slogan, but also a fresh life and blood!!

Since then, the battle has followed, perhaps because of the loss at the hands of the special service battalion, the devil's troops swarmed and launched a crazy attack on the special service battalion, and the team was even surrounded by two brigades at the height of the situation, and there was a great posture of sticks and rats.

That battle was also the most serious one since Jiangbei, the special battalion resisted for three days and three nights with a small hill, ran out of ammunition, and finally fought hand-to-hand combat, and finally repelled more than 40 charges from the devils.

Just when the ammunition and food were exhausted, fortunately, a regular army appeared and launched a fierce attack on the Japanese army from the periphery, thus creating a gap for Tang Yao and them.

Taking advantage of this fleeting gap in the encirclement, Tang Yao commanded the team to fight hard, and finally succeeded in highlighting the encirclement of the devils, and then marched all the way, and finally got rid of the pursuit of the devils.

For this team, Tang Yao was very grateful in his heart, but when he rescued them, this team disappeared, and he only remembered what this team was called Jiangbei Detachment.

Tang Yao understood that this was the army over there, and only these people who were familiar with the terrain here could take the devils around the jungle so skillfully, and use various terrain and objects to fight the devils, until the devils were exhausted and had to retreat.

In the face of a national crisis, all the people who love this country are united, share the same hatred, and fight together in blood, which is something that makes people feel excited when they think about it.

Tang Yao felt that this trip was worth it.

"Why hasn't that one named Li Yang shown up yet?" Tang Yao was lying under the tree, his eyes closed, pondering, he estimated the time, this Li Yang should have appeared a long time ago.

Coming from the edge of life and death several times, Tang Yao found that he didn't care so much about life and death now, even if Li Yang stood in front of him now, he could face it calmly.

Even if the other party raises a gun, he will kill himself.

The sound of rustling in the jungle made the soldiers of the special battalion in charge of the guard nervous, and they clenched their weapons and looked vigilantly at the place where the sound sounded.

"Who?" The sentry whispered in the distance.

A voice replied, "It's me." ”

As soon as the sentry heard the voice, he knew who had returned, so he relaxed and whispered, "It turned out to be the battalion commander." ”

Chang Ming took two soldiers from the special battalion out of the bushes, strode towards Tang Yao, and observed left and right as he walked, and when he saw that the situation was normal, he was relieved.

Along the way, there are too many things encountered, not only devils, some people have a lot of ability to rob while the fire is not small, they beat stuffy sticks, set white wolves, poison and set traps, all kinds of means are used to the extreme, and several soldiers are so unjustly wronged to death.

So compared with the devils with clear knives and guns, Chang Ming hates these guys who stab knives in the back even more.

Tang Yao also heard Chang Ming's voice under the tree, he slowly opened his eyes, looked at Chang Ming, and then said, "Camp Commander Chang, how is the situation?" ”

Chang Ming sat down beside him, reached out and wiped the sweat on his head, then took off the kettle on his waist, unscrewed the lid and poured it into his mouth, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, "Whew, it's so cool." ”

"I led people to feel out about two miles forward, and found that the front was full of devils' troops, a small team, and many of them were a wing, and it seemed that this was the devil's occupation area."

In the war zone, the forces of the two sides are intertwined and entangled with each other, but in different areas, the control is not the same, for example, in some places, the regular army has the advantage, and the devils who suppress it are breathless; It is different in some places, where the devils are very strong, and the regular army can only fight guerrillas everywhere, just like the guerrillas.

All of this is a chaotic area to a certain extent.

Hearing Chang Ming say that there were so many devils in front of him, Tang Yao couldn't help frowning, he knew that the road ahead was not easy to walk.

After thinking about it, he looked up and asked one of his subordinates, "How far is this place from the nearest nationalist-occupied area?" ”

The subordinate took out the map, looked down at it, and after a while, raised his head and replied, "Chief, it's about fourteen or fifteen kilometers." ”

"It's okay, it's not too far." Tang Yao breathed a sigh of relief, but the second half of the subordinate's sentence made his words almost suffocate him.

"But there are two wings of devils and a cavalry team in between." This sentence made Tang Yao's heart pull out the cold.

Two wings, and a cavalry team, such a force, not to mention their remnants, even when the special service battalion first crossed the river, was not an opponent.

Before they fought with the devil, they didn't know how powerful the devil was, and they had been fighting with the devil every day these days, so they really realized the strength of the other party.

Whether it is marksmanship, technique and tactics, or psychological quality, the Japanese infantry is excellent, and it deserves to be the most powerful army in Asia during World War II.

Hearing that there were two wings of devils in between, Tang Yao and Chang Ming's faces were not good-looking, and they knew that the chance of wanting to rush over and join that force was too low.

By now, the special service battalion has been exhausted and tired enough, and if it is hard to rush the two wings of devils to arrange a defensive line, then the probability of defeat is more than 80 percent.

The atmosphere in the jungle was a bit solemn, and both men stared at the map, thinking of a solution to their current predicament.

The last time they passed through the defense area of the New 11th Division, Division Commander Jiang replenished some of their ammunition, which made them have more ammunition in their hands now, and the supplies have also been replenished to a certain extent, so the team can still support them for a while.

But if you can't get out of the encirclement of the devil as soon as possible, then the team will still be exhausted in the end, and there will be a dead end.

Tang Yao was not afraid of death, but he didn't want these excellent soldiers to die with him, so now he wanted to survive and take these soldiers out alive.

In order to achieve this goal, he must fight his way out of the siege of the devils.

Looking at the shuttle inch by inch on the map, Chang Ming was anxious, because when he was investigating just now, he found that the devil's troops seemed to be showing signs of mobilization, so it was not safe for him to be where he was now, and the devil's troops could appear at any time.

Therefore, the course of action must be determined as soon as possible, otherwise once the devils find them, the team will fall into passivity.

At this time, Tang Yao suddenly spoke up and said, "Camp Commander Chang, do you think we can go here?" ”

Chang Ming looked at the place where he pointed his finger and found that the place he chose was a group of lakes more than ten kilometers away in front of the right, with more than 30 lakes large and small, and the terrain was very complicated.

Chang Ming thought for a moment, then shook his head, "I'm afraid not, it's full of swamps, we are not familiar with the terrain, if you walk in rashly, I'm afraid that if you can't get by, it will cause casualties." ”

If it weren't for the complicated terrain, the devils wouldn't have put such a large area without stationing troops, just because they felt that there was no need to station troops there.

Both of them stopped talking and continued to look for a suitable route.

At this time, suddenly a sentry shouted from the front, "Who?" ”

There was a bangβ€”β€”, a gunshot rang out, and the sentry crouched on the branch fell headlong and fell to the ground without moving.

Devils, devils!

Chang Ming and Tang Yao stood up, they heard the sound of the 38 big cover, and immediately realized that it was the devil who came.

Pulling out a pistol from his waist, Chang Ming shouted, "Prepare for battle." ”

When the soldiers who were resting under the tree heard the gunshots, they all turned over and picked up the guns, grabbed the guns beside them, and each chose a concealment and prepared for battle.

At this time, there was a noisy sound of footsteps in the jungle, and occasionally there were a few ghosts' wolf-like howls in the middle, and they were quickly approaching this side.

Chang Ming and Tang Yao crouched behind the tree, both carrying guns in their hands, while staring closely at the jungle opposite.

Between the shaking of the branches, the devil emerged from the bushes, and someone scurried out of it.

Chang Ming yelled, then raised his pistol, "Hit me!" ”

Da da da, the gunfire suddenly rang out, and the bullets rained down on the devil soldiers on the opposite side.
