Chapter 105: Escape

When Tang Cheng was pushed by the explosion and flew out, Lao Dongbei and a few of them also fell to the ground, and the shell opened by the Japanese bean chariot was too close to them, so that Lao Dongbei's arm was also cut open by the whirling shrapnel, and the blood that flowed out of the wound instantly stained Lao Dongbei's sleeves red. But now is not the time to grind, Lao Dongbei, who got up from the ground, still holds the wounded soldier in one hand and the machine gun in the other, and tries to run towards the river that Tang Cheng said.

The soldier who was supported jumped on one leg and did not treat his wounds in any way, and was already physically exhausted. His pale face was bloodless, but his eyes were still full of desire to survive. Lao Dongbei's physique is strong, and half of the wounded's weight is on his side at this time, coupled with the MZ42 machine gun that Lao Dongbei is reluctant to throw away, Lao Dongbei is already flushed with a red face at this time, and sweat is running down his hair and neck.

The spirit of the robes who never gave up in a desperate situation was like a ray of sunshine falling through the dark clouds, bringing some relief to Tang Cheng, who was still rising on his own. Suddenly, he remembered a maxim that Robert once said to himself, even if the world has abandoned us, we will never abandon our own people!

Tang Cheng, who was still in a panic, lay on the bank of the river and looked back with a telescope, the dry riverbed was still some distance away from the forest that he had already looked at, if the Japanese tanks were chasing him, such an open land would be very unfavorable to himself. The chirping of tank tracks still seemed to ring in my ears, and two of the three Japanese bean tanks that participated in the battle were now left, and only one of them was an assault version with a turret.

Tang Cheng saw a group of Japanese soldiers in the telescope surrounding the bean chariot that was blown up by himself, and he didn't know what he was doing, I don't know why, the two bean chariots parked on the mound did not chase down, Tang Cheng put down the telescope in his hand and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the Japanese army did not chase, his people were temporarily safe. "Go, you can't stop, it's really safe to enter the forest." Tang Cheng's legs had long since lost their strength, but he still insisted on getting up and urging the old Northeast who collapsed in the river.

knew that Tang Cheng was right, but Lao Dongbei, who was paralyzed in the river, couldn't help but give Tang Cheng a roll of the eyes, and it had been more than 2 hours since the exchange of fire with the Japanese army before dawn. In these more than 2 hours, except for the first half an hour of fighting with the Japanese army, the people of the second company were all fleeing for their lives in a hurry for the rest of the time, and the long-term running had already exhausted their physical strength.

Although they had reached the bottom line of physical strength, the old northeast and a few of them still staggered to their feet and followed Tang Cheng to move downstream of the river. A beautiful ambush battle was fought in extreme distress, which not only relieved the fear in the hearts of the soldiers, but also boosted morale to a certain extent. Although there were only 5 of the 7 people left in Tang City when they set off, the soldiers who were marching downstream along the river had recovered a lot, and these guys with heavy steel helmets were still eating while walking.

Among them, Tang Cheng was perhaps the only one who was depressed, he couldn't figure out a lot of things, and he was worried a lot. Tang Cheng, who was already out of danger, only now felt afraid, if the two bean chariots on the mound just now did not stagnate, but chose to rush down the mound and continue the pursuit. Will he become a prisoner of war for the Japanese army? Will it be killed by the Japanese when they have already surrendered? And after dying, will you be able to go to heaven as Robert said?

This extremely dangerous and unequal battle gave Tang Cheng too much to think about, killing or being killed, this is the only mission of a soldier, the war is so cruel, Tang Cheng is worried about whether he will live to the day when he takes Robert's ashes to the United States. Looking up at the old Northeast who was laughing with the injured soldier, Tang Cheng's mood suddenly improved a lot, yes, this damn war is not just himself, there are veterans of a hundred battles like Niu Lao Gui in the old Northeast, maybe it is those Japanese soldiers who should be worried that they can't go home.

Tang Cheng and his party moved downstream along the already dry river, looking back at the mound where they had just fought, and they could vaguely see the black smoke rushing to the sky on the mound, and they all knew that the black smoke belonged to the small Japanese tank that was blown up by Tang Cheng. Lao Northeast originally heard Jiujin say that Tang Cheng followed the death squad to blow up the Japanese tank under Nanjing, but he always thought that it was just Jiujin's boasting of helping Tang Cheng, and now it seems that he is really blind, this little commander is even crazier than himself when he fights.

"Company commander, it's the company commander, they're back." Tang Cheng and the others walked along the river for a long time, then went ashore and turned to walk towards the forest that separated from Niu Laogui and them, and as soon as they got into the forest, they were met by the outpost sent by Niu Laogui. Tang Cheng led people away from the Japanese tanks, Niu Laogui had to take the wounded and the remaining soldiers to move in the direction of Macheng, not far away, but met Su Datong Company, who had been disappearing, and the two groups moved to Macheng together, but there were hundreds of people accompanying them.

Niu Laogui didn't ask why Su Datong Lian appeared here, and Su Datong didn't explain anything to Niu Laogui, but when he heard that Tang Cheng personally led people to lead away the Japanese tanks, Su Datong slanted the corners of his mouth without leaving a trace. "You can be regarded as coming back, and I heard the sound of the little devil's shelling from afar, and I've been worried about it all the time." Niu Laogui, who followed the outpost to meet him, whispered to Tang Cheng about Su Datong, and at the same time asked the ambulance soldiers of the second company to bandage and treat the injured.

"Are they going to evacuate Macheng with us?" Hearing Niu Laogui's general statement, Tang Cheng couldn't help frowning. Although the second company is temporarily under the command of the 30th Army, in the final analysis, the second company is a soldier of the 88th Division, and it is reasonable to retreat to Macheng for rest. But Su Datong's company is a serious unit of the 80th Army, and he is a person from the 30th Army who came to mix with the second company, whether it is from military regulations or actual situation, Su Datong can only go back to the defense line of the 30th Army.

"Forget it, if he wants to follow, he can follow." Seeing Tang Cheng frowning, Niu Laogui knew that this little chief already had a pimple in his heart, and when he evacuated the village, it was the second company that blocked the Japanese army at the entrance of the village, but Su Datong ran away with his people without a trace, and I am afraid that no one will have a good face for them. "I see that Su Datong has brought a lot of ordinary people who escaped from the village, and they are making excuses for their fear of war under the banner of escorting the people, anyway, we are not from the 30th Army, and if we can't find awkwardness with him, we should not see it."

After a few battles, there are only two veterans like Niu Laogui and Lao Dongbei around Tang Cheng, compared with the guy who can only fight in Lao Northeast, Tang Cheng has a lot of trust in Niu Laogui's advice. Since Niu Laogui had already said so, Tang Cheng, who was sitting on the stone and was bandaged by the ambulance soldiers, had no choice but to nod and agree, as long as this Su Datong did not come to provoke him, then he would only take help by the way.

Seeing that the matter was resolved, Niu Laogui had a smile on his face, and he was a little more sarcastic and joking when talking to Lao Dongbei. Xu knew what Tang Cheng was thinking, Su Datong had never met Tang Cheng, and Su Datong, who was arranged by Niu Laogui in the rear team, was very honest, and he sent a platoon commander under him to find Niu Laogui if there was anything. Wei Tong chewed wax and ate a few bites of flatbread, Tang Cheng's strength had still recovered, but after walking briskly for a distance, the heavy tiredness spread from his legs to his whole body. With his life at stake, he could only grit his teeth and persevere, using his willpower to drive his already exhausted body forward.

Niu Laogui tried to persuade Tang Cheng to hand over the surplus weapons and ammunition to those people to carry, but Tang Cheng never agreed, although he had escaped from those Japanese tanks, but there was a possibility that another Japanese army could emerge here at any time. Battles can happen at any time, how could Tang Cheng agree to hand over weapons and ammunition to those civilians who can only flee for their lives, he would rather carry an extra gun himself than agree to hand over what can survive to someone else's control.

The moment he finally walked out of the woodland and dragged his two lead-filled legs onto the road, Tang Cheng just wanted to lie down on the road and rest for a while. But now is not the time to rest, the sentinels in front of them walked along the road in the direction of Macheng, and they had already encountered a logistics baggage unit of the 30th Army, and Tang Cheng, who could not refuse Niu Laogui's suggestion, still had to cheer up and meet the commander of the baggage force, and some of the information obtained by the second company needed to be sent to the defense line of the 30th Army through them.

"Let's go, go meet the people of the 30th Army." After washing his face with the water in the kettle and tidying himself up a little, Tang Cheng took the second company, which had already assembled the whole team, along the road to the position of the baggage troops of the 30th Army. When the Second Company left Wuhan, there were 110 people, but now only 70 people are left, including those who were wounded, and some soldiers who died of serious injuries have remained in the forest forever. Tang Cheng, who was at the front of the team, straightened his body as much as he could, and he still remembered what Xie Bo said, the people of the 88th Division were the proudest wherever they went.

Rounding a corner, the sight in front of him suddenly became clear, and the baggage troops of the 30th Army obviously stopped here for a while to rest, but the smell of gunpowder smoke and blood wafting in the air reminded Tang Cheng that a battle had just been experienced here. Some soldiers of the 30th Army were pouring kerosene on more than a dozen Japanese corpses, apparently preparing to set fire to them.
