Xu Hongchang grabbed Tang Shengkai's hand and said, "Old Tang, it's not over yet. Don't do anything foolish."
Tang Shengkai paused for a moment, then laughed. "Battalion Commander, you've misunderstood. The number of Japanese soldiers on the other side is uncertain, and it's not a solution for us to just wait here. So, I've come up with a plan."
"What method?"
Tang Shengkai looked at the group and said, "Everyone, hold the position first. I'll be right back."
After saying that, Tang Shengkai quickly ran into the dense forest. The others found Tang Shengkai's speed incredible; no matter how many times they watched, they still felt that it was a speed that no human could achieve.
"With Old Tang's speed, we could do even half as fast."
Chen Erniu expressed his feelings again. Bu Mancang didn't even look at him, "If we have another chance to go back, we must train like Old Tang, to the death."
The others thought it made sense. Old Tang had only been in the army for a short time, yet he had already trained like this. If given more time, he might become even more formidable.
Chen Erniu shook his head. "I think Lao Tang is just different from us. Even if we work as hard as him, we might not be able to achieve the same results."
"The enemy has started building bridges again."
After speaking, Bu Mancang began preparations. The enemy was now smarter and didn't always build bridges at the shortest distance. In the past, Tang Shengkai was fast, but they were no match for him. If they built bridges far away, Bu Mancang felt uneasy.
Fortunately, Tang Shengkai was too fast just now, and now that it's dark, the other side doesn't seem to have noticed that Tang Shengkai is gone, and is preparing to increase their firepower and attack again at the nearest point.
When the logs were delivered to this location, Bu Mancang had already gripped the wooden sticks in his hands. As soon as those guys got on the wooden bridge, he would immediately begin his operation.
Chen Erniu followed behind Bu Mancang and gripped the wooden stick together. Bu Mancang felt the change in the force in his hand, turned around and glanced at Chen Erniu, who chuckled, "I came to help."
"They're here!"
Bu Mancang and Chen Erniu exerted their strength simultaneously, gripping their wooden sticks and ramming them against the logs above the abyss. With a "thud," the logs above the abyss were knocked half a meter away by the two men.
The enemy standing on the edge of the abyss swayed, but did not fall.
"These cunning fellows have actually secured the wood over there. Come on! Give it another push."
Chen Erniu gritted his teeth, while Bu Mancang remained silent. The two dodged the bullets and exerted their strength again. With a "thud," they pulled hard once more, leaving only a small edge of the log hanging over the abyss.
Chen Erniu laughed, "Full capacity, just a little more effort and it'll be down soon."
When Chen Erniu exerted himself again, the veins all over his body bulged. Bu Mancang wasn't much better off than Chen Erniu.
The log didn't look thick, but it was a perfectly grown tree, and it was really wet and heavy. The two of them had to slam the log into the abyss with great force every time, which shows how quickly their physical strength was being depleted.
At times like these, they admired Tang Shengkai even more, wondering where that kid got such strength.
The enemies above the abyss saw that the logs were about to be knocked down and knew that their chances of getting through were slim, so they quickly ran back. They were still tied with ropes to prevent themselves from falling into the abyss and being instantly killed.
So Tang Shengkai killed forty or fifty Japanese soldiers on the very first day. After that, they became more cunning, and their casualties decreased.
Having finally exhausted all their strength, Chen Erniu and Bu Mancang had just managed to get the log into the abyss. Before they could even catch their breath, Fei Shuwen anxiously announced that they had built a bridge upstream.
The group looked in the direction of the sound, and their eyes immediately turned red.
Bu Mancang didn't have time to rest and dragged the log over there.
Chen Erniu grabbed Bu Mancang, "Mancang, what are you doing? Are you out of your mind?"
Bu Mancang showed no sign of stopping. "We must hurry over and stop them, or it will be too late."
The group pulled at Bu Mancang, saying, "No, that area is already beyond the defensive range of our stone stall. Going there would be suicide."
The abyss over there was more than a meter further than this one, so it would take the enemy some time to build the bridge. Bu Mancang looked back at the group, his face covered in mud and grime, and a string of dirty things fell off his face.
"Battalion Commander, Political Commissar, and brothers, my life has been worthwhile." After saying that, he charged forward.
The enemy was constantly monitoring their movements. They were building a bridge over there to prevent them from going over and causing trouble.
"Full position!"
Chen Erniu didn't let go of the wood. He was about to rush out with Bu Mancang when enemy bullets started flying towards them as if they were free.
Bu Mancang was already prepared to die, but he couldn't die before he even got there to stop them. So Bu Mancang quickly crouched down, and the stones and sand they had piled up earlier blocked his way.
But Chen Erniu wasn't so lucky. On one hand, he wanted to go help Bu Mancang, and on the other hand, he was also a little excited and carried away by Bu Mancang's words. At this moment, he was rushing forward recklessly.
Xu Hongchang and the others didn't even have a chance to stop him. A bullet was about to hit Chen Erniu's head. Xu Hongchang used all his strength to try to pull Chen Erniu back, but it was too late.
Just as a bullet was about to pierce Chen Erniu's skull, his arm was suddenly pulled forcefully. Losing his balance, Chen Erniu fell to the side. His other arm shot up, and with a "thud," a bullet pierced flesh. Chen Erniu didn't even utter a sound.
