Chapter 559 Hunting Prelude
This is really unpleasant!
Tang Dao lay in the field 400 meters away from this empty village, watching the Japanese army with a population of up to 20 people sink into the darkness.
Because the Japanese army came, this was another must-pass place for the Japanese army. The villagers had already packed up and were forced to leave their homes. They either hid in the countryside further on both sides or fled towards Guangde and Wuhu. The living creatures in most villages may be left with chickens, ducks and mice that were not enough to be collected.
It is about five kilometers away from the front line. The Japanese army can reach here and avoid the right wing defense line. Obviously, they have detoured at least more than 17 or 8 kilometers. After running all night and marching during the day, their physical energy should be consumed to the extreme.
If they were asked to repair them for two hours before they came to clean them up, I don’t know what the price would be paid.
Tang Knife, wearing a camouflage woven with dead grass, was watching the blurred figure of the Japanese army completely hide in the village in the dim light of dawn in the telescope, and then whistled lightly.
A bunch of weeds slowly squirmed towards this side until two minutes later, Xia Dayu's nervous face appeared behind the weeds, "Sir, should we inform the second company commander now and ask me to go, I will run a little faster than Erya Brother."
Just seeing Xia Dayu remained cautious when she heard Tang Dao's whistle, she knew that he was much better than the previous unique young recklessness. Tang Dao was obviously very satisfied with the growth of this little communication soldier who had been following him.
"No matter how fast you run, can the Japanese come quickly?" Tang Dao shook his head. "If I guess correctly, the Japanese will not stay in this village for a long time. The village's target is too obvious. At most, they will leave until dawn. When you call Li Jiujin and the others to come, they will probably have run away long ago."
"What should I do?" An anxiety surged from Xia Dayu's face.
There are not many Japanese soldiers, but there are not many. The three of them alone, or to be precise, they can definitely not be beaten by one Tang Dao, but if you watch them leave like this, it will be absolutely unwilling for Xia Dayu.
His uncle Crow was besieged by such a small group of Japanese troops. In the end, in order to protect him, he had to jump off the pagoda that he could have held on for a little longer. Originally, he only had to hold on for another five minutes and both of them could survive.
For Xia Dayu, the scene of dreaming of Uncle Crow being crushed to pieces on countless nights was full of tears when he woke up. How could he be willing to watch the Japanese leave like this?
"What should I do? Kill them? I'll hit me at the gun, and I can't do it!" Tang Dao grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.
"Sir, before leaving, Deputy Battalion Commander Guo, Chief of Staff Zhuang and the company commanders all said that you can do the Japanese, but you can't use less to the more as before." Erya, who was also quietly crawling over on the other side, suddenly became anxious.
"Do you listen to them or me?" Tang Dao's face sank. "You can't use less to many. Didn't we use less to many that time? According to them, we'll play a ball! I washed my neck and waited for the Japanese to kill them."
"But you agreed at that time." Erya was unable to refute by Tang Dao's words, but she always felt that something was wrong and could only make the final resistance.
"At this time, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. You two, follow my command of all actions." Tang Dao was so stern that he set the tone.
After Tang Dao said this, Erya and Xia Dayu's two correspondents naturally had no room for resistance and could only nod.
"You two, one side, guard the east and west of the village. No matter what movements there are in the village, you don't have to worry about it. But if someone wants to escape from the direction you are guarding, use a siege gun to shoot immediately. There is no need to be too accurate to shoot. Just retract the Japanese. Everyone should pay attention to protecting themselves." Tang Dao picked up the bayonet, drew a simple map on the ground, and arranged combat positions for the two correspondents.
The two nodded, and a burst of nervousness appeared on their faces.
Although both of them have participated in many battles, there are basically people around them. It is an unprecedented opportunity for both of them to say that they are not nervous. It is impossible to say that they are not nervous.
"You two don't have to be too nervous. The situation I mentioned is just that, with the Japanese's personality, if they know that there is only one enemy, the possibility of their escape is very small." Tang Dao felt the tension between the two and smiled faintly. "Besides, Gu Xishui and Niu Er are only 1.5 kilometers away. If they hear the gunshots here, they will arrive for support within five minutes."
"Yes!" Erya and Xia Dayu both nodded slightly, indicating that they would stick to the battle position.
"Okay, everyone will do their own things!" Tang Dao waved his hand, bowed and prepared to set off.
"Sir..."
Tang Dao turned his head and looked behind him, with Erya's bright eyes.
"Reporter Tan Tai is still waiting for you at the base, be careful." Erya's voice was very soft.
"I know!" Tang Dao smiled slightly, turned his back and lowered his waist, trotting all the way, disappearing into the increasingly fading night.
He is a communication soldier, and he is very organized in his work. He will carry all kinds of information he needs with him and will never miss it. Even Tang Dao's life is managed in an orderly manner and he can devote himself to the battle. It is a bit too emotional.
With such a personality, it is not suitable to be the head of the front-line combat force when growing up in the future. It is still OK to be the instructor responsible for ideological aspects or the head of the technical department.
On the contrary, Xia Dayu, although he is still young, he has shown enough potential for combat.
Tang Dao didn't deliberately teach him, and he could learn from Tang Dao to make a disguised clothes as if he were decent. If he didn't get close to five meters, it would be difficult to find the human body hidden in the dead grass.
Even when he heard the Tang Dao's order, he was cautious. Even if there were Japanese troops gazing here, he would not find any clues.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Perhaps even Tang Dao himself did not realize that when he began to consider the future development of the people around him, he was no longer the future special commander with only a dozen people. He had completely integrated into this era and his current role as an army colonel.
Tang Dao is not a saint, and he never thought about being a saint. If even the brothers who follow him through life and death do not consider their future, the saints will love whoever they love.
After all, Tang Dao is just a soldier with sufficient battlefield experience and an ordinary person with strong national sentiment.
But isn’t this world all composed of ordinary people? Just like those digital figures that were destroyed in war, they died and were forgotten, but will they regret it?
No one knows it! But undoubtedly, when they choose to die to death, ordinary people are great.
Tang Dao chose to be part of such an ordinary person.
So, even though he knew that there were 20 Japanese soldiers in the village, it would be extremely difficult for him to solve them alone, he still did so.
If he doesn't do this, someone will die of his brother.
It is much less difficult to assassinate the Japanese army hiding in the village than to chase them in the wilderness.
Private Kuroki Rokuro was very sad at this moment.
A day ago, he had already learned that three fellow villagers who joined the army at the same time had all died in battle. A total of four people were enlisted in the entire mountain village, and now he is the only one left.
From then on, no one had drunk sake with him, and he was red-faced and argued about who the most beautiful woman in the village was, and no one would sing songs with him to recall the beauty of the cherry blossom tree at the entrance of the village in spring.
When he boarded the boat and returned home, three small wooden boxes would be hung on his chest! Then how should he face those three mothers! Whenever he thought of this, Kuroki Rokuro's heart was almost broken.
Therefore, when he learned that he had been transferred to a member of the reconnaissance team, Taro Kuroki was not afraid at all. For him who was deeply saddened, death was actually not that scary.
What is terrible is the loneliness after losing his fellow countrymen.
Entering this door-to-door search, I did not find an ordinary small village in China. Although I needed to keep a sneaking state and could not ignite a pile of warm bonfires to drive away the cold winter night, the Lieutenant Miyamoto, who led the team, still thoughtfully arranged for people to make a fire in the simple Chinese kitchen, and heated up the cold rice balls of 20 people to give everyone a warm breakfast.
After all, it was still before Fo Xiao, and no one would notice it when the thin smoke was emitted through the chimney.
Kuroki Taro is the person who is responsible for making hot rice. Others either set up defenses based on the terrain of the village or seize the time to rest. Before dawn, they have to leave the village.
Kuroki Taro mechanically added firewood to the stove, and his mind was still immersed in sorrow.
Until the sound of "gulp" sounded, reminding the Private Kuroki Taro who was so smoked that he couldn't open his eyes, the water had already boiled.
"Murakami-kun!" Kuroki Taro turned his head and wanted to greet his colleagues in the top sergeant leaning against the door.
"Huh?" Murakami Toshiki replied with a low voice, his face seemed a little hideous in the thin smoke.
