Chapter 189 Extreme Pull
189
At the moment when everyone was waiting for the sentence of death, at the moment when Fei Shuwen had closed his eyes and waited for the bullet to penetrate his flesh, at the moment when Bu Mancang stared with his eyes wide open and rushed forward with all his strength, at the moment when a smug smile appeared on the face of the Japanese soldier.
It moved, it moved.
Everyone's eyes involuntarily gathered on the same place.
Everyone saw Tang Shengkai holding two pieces of wood with his arms, and with all his strength, the two pieces of wood that were placed over the abyss were lifted up at the same time. Then everyone saw the two pieces of wood falling into their fortress in a circle in the air.
The "bang bang" and two "plop" sounds were both abrupt and delightful.
"Haha, that's amazing!" Chen Erniu didn't care what happened to Bu Mancang and Fei Shuwen at the moment, and started laughing.
Everyone else had a relaxed smile on their face. Yes, there is nothing happier than being alive.
But just as their smiles appeared on their faces, the sound of bullets piercing through wood was heard.
Everyone instinctively squatted down and hid behind the wood.
Bu Mancang and Fei Shuwen sat up, their faces covered in dirt, and scrabbled to wipe the dirt off their faces. Tang Shengkai had already found the right angle when he started.
Bu Mancang was very fast, and when Tang Shengkai exerted his strength, he was almost there, but the Japanese bullets were very dense, and even if he came over, both of them would inevitably be hit by bullets.
But Tang Shengkai used his strength to lift the wood up. The wood on the Japanese side was raised high, which directly changed the trajectory of Bu Mancang and Fei Shuwen, perfectly avoiding the bullets, and was thrown into their fortress by Tang Shengkai.
Before Bu Mancang could even see Tang Shengkai clearly, he spoke with a shrewd expression, "Old Tang, thank you so much! I can hardly remember how many times you've saved me."
Fei Shuwen instinctively cleaned the dust from his face, his head still foggy. The sound of bullets hitting wood slowly brought him back to his senses. Turning to look at the figures hiding behind the wood, Fei Shuwen's eyes suddenly reddened.
He was still alive. What kind of luck was he to be alive in such a situation? This life was worth it!
He took a few deep breaths, his eyes swept over everyone, and finally said with a choked voice, "Thank you!"
Everyone could sense Lao Fei's mood, but now was not the time to talk. How could the enemy be willing to accept that they had not taken the lives of the two men under such circumstances?
The sound of "Baka" echoed endlessly. The bullets were coming in ever-increasing numbers. The men could only hide tightly behind the logs. To prevent the logs from being pierced, Bu Mancang and Wang Junhui prepared to pile the two logs Tang Shengkai had just thrown over inside the fort. They bent down and prepared to lift one of the logs together.
However, the two of them blushed and used all their strength, but the wood actually...
Not a muscle moved.
They saw shock in each other's eyes. Was it so heavy? Or was it because they hadn't eaten? Perhaps they hadn't eaten, right? Otherwise, how could they not even lift a piece of wood?
Old Tang just carried four trees here by himself. They haven't forgotten.
Tang Shengkai was also ready to do what Bu Mancang and the others wanted to do. Seeing that the two men couldn't lift the wood, and the enemy's firepower was so fierce, Tang Shengkai didn't have time to explain. He came over, picked up the wood and put it in position, and then the second one was piled on top.
"So, easy?"
Bu Mancang sat there, his eyes dull, mumbling. Wang Junhui came back to his senses faster and patted Bu Mancang, "Move forward. Be careful of the spies attacking from the side."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Japanese soldiers could not hit anyone from the front and had already dispersed to both sides. Countless bullets hit the edge of the wood and the ground, and the flying wood chips and stones almost hit Bu Mancang's head.
The two of them quickly hid in the middle.
Chen Erniu leaned against the wood tightly, his eyes wide open with anger, his face full of rage, and he kept cursing: "These damn spies are so despicable!"
He clenched his fists, his whole body tense, wishing he could immediately rush across the abyss to fight the spies to the death. His feet stomped on the ground, splashing up a cloud of dust, and the veins on his neck bulged, as if he was ready to die together with the enemy.
As the battalion commander, Xu Hongchang wasn't so anxious at the moment. He was already extremely satisfied that no one was missing. He kept observing his surroundings, trying to find something he could use to block the spies' fire. His eyes swept around like lightning, his brain racing, thinking of emergency plans.
At the same time, he shouted loudly: "Don't panic, everyone, take cover!"
Although the spies on the other side couldn't hit the people here, they still showed smug sneers on their faces. The leading spy even shouted arrogantly: "Hide, see where you can run to, today is the day you die!"
He did not put down the gun in his hand, but continued to aim at the wood on the opposite bank. His eyes were full of cruelty and determination, as if he had already seen the scene of everyone lying in a pool of blood.
"If you keep hitting the same spot, I won't believe you can't penetrate a piece of wood." (Japanese)
This guy seemed to be blind and didn't know that Tang Shengkai and the others had stacked two layers of wood.
Tang Shengkai kept an eye on the situation on the other side. He knew he couldn't just sit there and wait for death. The enemy was more prepared than they were, and they might even have a rope.
Just as I was thinking this, I saw a few more Japanese soldiers running out of the jungle on the other side, holding thick ropes in their arms.
He thought quickly and shouted to his brothers, "Brothers, pretend to attack and distract them!" As he said that, he took the lead in picking up more stones and threw them in different directions towards the spies, changing his position while throwing, making it difficult for the spies to aim.
When the others heard Tang Shengkai's shout, they also reacted. They picked up anything they could throw and threw it at the spies. For a moment, stones flew towards the spies like raindrops, and the scene was in chaos.
The spies were not expecting this move and were a little panicked for a moment, which affected the accuracy of their shooting. The bullet that was originally aimed at the wood flew past a small stone with a "whoosh" sound and hit the cliff next to it, splashing a few sparks.
Everyone saw that this really worked, and they threw even harder.
After a while of confrontation, the Japanese realized that this was completely ineffective and was just a waste of bullets, so they simply stopped fighting.
There was no more gunfire coming from the other side. Chen Erniu quietly wanted to stick his head out to see what was going on, but was stopped by Wang Junhui.
"What are you doing?"
"Chen Erniu, are you trying to kill yourself?"
Chen Erniu's dusty face was covered with a pair of eyes that almost rolled up to the sky. "Are your ears not working well? There are no more gunshots, right? I just want to take a look at the situation."
Wang Junhui still held onto Chen Erniu tightly. This guy really didn't know the time of day. It was already this late, and he was still in the mood to throw a tantrum. "Who knows, someone might be watching this place, waiting for us to show up."
"Tsk, I didn't see you being so cautious when you were throwing the stone just now."
Wang Junhui didn't know what to say. At that time, the Japanese were concentrating on shooting, and their accuracy was not guaranteed. How could it be the same?
"It seems that all your usual training has been wasted."
"you......"
"Bang!" The gunshot rang out and hit the piece of wood above Bu Mancang's head. Wood chips fell down and Bu Mancang spat twice.
Seeing that both of them were looking at him, Bu Mancang said expressionlessly, "The other side has brought the rope over. Who knows when they might throw it over."
Chen Erniu and Wang Junhui glanced at each other and turned away without saying a word.
Xu Hongchang turned his head to look at Tang Junkai, "Old Tang, what do you think?"
Continuing like this was definitely not a solution. The enemy had ropes in their hands, and if they climbed over, the embarrassing escape they had experienced a few days ago would be repeated. But now they were surrounded by open space, and there was no possibility of escape at all.
Tang Shengkai was also trying to find a solution. He had not been in the army for long and had been able to escape recently. One reason was that he had broken through the first level of Qi training and all aspects of his physical condition had improved rapidly. On the other hand, he had experience hunting in the mountains before and could avoid risks at any time.
But now he was faced with a really big problem, and he had to think carefully about it.
