Chapter 80 The Happiness of ‘Hammer’

In fact, the battlefield is not as quiet as imagined.

In fact, it was much more lively than the relatively peaceful afternoon.

After nightfall, the Japanese army changed from the quiet in the afternoon and stopped staying still.

The moonlight is still bright, but it is blocked by dark clouds from time to time. It is pitch black outside the Sihang Warehouse. The line of sight within thirty meters of the warehouse will be reduced to an extremely dangerous situation. If the Japanese army comes to attack, it is unknown because of the line of sight. The reason is how much reaction time should be reduced.

So Tang Dao ordered more than a dozen fires to be lit along the edge of the trench with thick wood poured with diesel, in an attempt to use this crude method to illuminate the surroundings of the warehouse and gain a slightly distant warning line of sight.

Naturally, the Japanese army would not let the warehouse get what they wanted. The bright fire was the most obvious target. Once the Chinese lit it, they were uncharacteristically no longer stingy. They used grenades and heavy machine guns and even used infantry cannons to blast the fire. Destroy it.

It's like a vindictive child. Whatever you want to do, you won't be allowed to do it.

Tang Dao said that he could completely understand Japan's 'childish' behavior. He had been beaten so hard during the day, and he couldn't let him vent his anger!

Starting from about 9 o'clock, the two sides started a fire and put out the fire, and they were having a lot of fun.

The sudden sound of gunfire first startled the Chinese people who were preparing to rest on the shore. Could it be that the Japanese soldiers, who had rested for an afternoon, were stubborn and wanted to fight at night?

After watching it for a long time, I realized that it was indeed the almost cute little stubbornness of the Japanese. They just wanted to put out fires instead of actually attacking them.

That's it! A little cute.

Until early in the morning, the moon emerged from the dark clouds again, and the sight was much better than before. Tang Dao seemed to be completely defeated by the stubborn Japanese army, or maybe because there was not so much wood reserve, he finally gave up on lighting the fire. Intend.

The battlefield has finally returned to silence.

After a tense day, the warehouse defenders had basically fallen asleep, except for the sentries assigned to each company and platoon.

They are all veterans, and they know very well that without adequate sleep, the body cannot function at its best, and any slight neurological or physical slowness may lead to your death on the battlefield in the future.

Not to mention this time, even in a position under heavy artillery fire, before the enemy attacks, they can quickly enter a deep sleep for a few minutes.

Only a few soldiers who could not fall asleep quickly due to the excitement of the day's victory and the sadness of the departure of their comrades leaned against the wall silently smoking cigarettes or talking in very low voices.

Tang Dao didn't say much after the inspection. Orders alone were useless and they could only rely on themselves to adjust.

This is also a necessary step for new recruits to become veterans. If you cannot do this, the chance of becoming a veteran will be reduced by 50%.

Returning to his own bed, Tang Dao rubbed the plush head of 'Hai Zi', who had been well-behaved all day, and threw a piece of dry biscuit to it. He lay down and quickly fell into deep sleep in just two or three minutes.

'Hammer' was happily lying on the ground munching on dry bread. As a watchdog that had survived for at least a month alone in the ruins by digging around in search of rotten food, the terrifying sound of gunfire came to it. Talking about it is nothing, filling your belly is the biggest expectation.

Obviously, although the loud decibels in this place make the dog irritated, the place can get food and clean water without having to do anything, which is like a paradise for the 'Hammer'.

With food, even Tang Dao, the fierce god who once knocked him unconscious with a slap, completely put down his guard and wagged his tail desperately at Tang Dao when he passed by him many times.

Of course, there is still a certain amount of fear.

The human brain is constantly evolving, but it has lost the biological instinct for danger, but the dog is lucky enough to retain it. It can feel the terror of Tang Dao, and its body has the power to completely crush it.

Being the little brother or pet of such a scary guy, 'Hammer' had no psychological burden. After eating the dry biscuits, he lay down next to the sleeping Tang Dao.

It wasn't until about an hour later that Hammer's ears twitched slightly, his eyes suddenly opened, and he shook his head in confusion.

It seemed that it heard something different, and it did not come from the rustling footsteps of soldiers wearing cloth shoes in the warehouse that it was already familiar with.

One hand gently stroked the dog's head of 'Hammer', who was still expressing his doubts. The big, generous and warm hand made 'Hammer' instantly feel at ease and lay down again.

In the darkness, Tang Dao's eyes had quietly opened.

However, the black eyes merged with the darkness, so no one could see them.

It was as cold as a black hole.

"Sir, what's wrong?" Niu Er, who was sleeping on the other side, asked in a low voice.

The recruit heard Tang Dao touching Hammer's head.

Tang Dao smiled slightly in the darkness and did not answer directly, but said: "Niu Er, learn to use all your spare time to rest and restore your strength. This is what you must learn in the past two days. In the future, you may not have such good conditions."

Obviously, the price of such vigilance was that the recruit never really fell asleep, even though he had been lying dry on the bedroll for more than an hour.

"Yes, sir!" Niu Er's face turned red slightly.

Fortunately, the darkness concealed the recruit's slight embarrassment, otherwise the veteran Youzi over there, who was also awakened by his question, would have laughed at him again.

In fact, Niu Er had tried very hard to imitate the veterans and fell asleep, but his mind was still rolling like the waves of the sea.

In fact, this daytime battle was an unprecedented experience for Niu Er.

It was not his first time to go to the battlefield, but he was almost scared to death the first time he went to the battlefield. He was ridiculed by the veterans as a "coward". Although he had defeated two Japanese soldiers with a submachine gun the night before and broke through the psychological barrier, his name as a "rookie" remained unchanged.

However, during the day, Niu Er, whose talent was discovered by Tang Dao and completely opened up, became the brightest star in the entire Sihang Warehouse, without a doubt.

After possessing the "sniper rifle" modified by Tang Dao with a telescope, the new recruits made a dazzling record for more than 400 people in the warehouse.

One person, one gun, sniped and killed 13 Japanese soldiers during the whole day, and all of them were confirmed. Who can compare?

Even the veterans who also got the "sniper rifle" could only lag behind.

At first, the veterans thought that the new recruits were lucky enough, but later they finally admitted that Niu Er's shooting talent was unmatched in the entire Sihang Warehouse, no, in the entire 88th Division.

Of course, Tang Dao, the pervert, was not included.

Not only the veteran soldiers, but also all the defenders including the army lieutenant colonel and Lei Xiong, no longer regarded Tang Dao as a creature like themselves after Tang Dao killed three Japanese invaders in front of the warring parties and many spectators on the river bank.

That is a killing god.

Fortunately, the killing god is one of us.

From a "coward" to a "rookie" and then to a recognized sharpshooter, such a huge jump took only one day and one night. Niu Er was not so excited that he dragged people to brag, but lay on the bed roll with his mind in a state of uproar, which was considered to be a calm temperament.

Tang Dao certainly knew the psychological changes of the new recruits, and did not say more, but slowly sat up and said in a deep voice: "The Japanese are coming!"

"The Japanese are coming?" accompanied by Niu Er's suppressed low exclamation.

More than a dozen soldiers in the room got up and went to get the guns that were leaning against their bodies in their memories. The veteran soldier wanted to light a match and light the torch standing in the corner.

The soldiers maintained absolute trust in Tang Dao. If he said it was coming, it must be coming, even if there had been no movement outside until now.
