Another volley of steel crossbows, the Burmese soldiers who were still alive could be counted with only one hand, such a close distance, such a dense fire, the Burmese soldiers on the opposite side had no time to react at all. The crossbow arrows that passed through the bodies of the Burmese soldiers clanged and fell on the rocks, and the killing intent in the sky was always stirring on the mountains.

Finally, Zhao Zhi made a gesture, the crossbow bolts stopped, and there were no more Burmese soldiers standing on the rocks. The mountain wind swept by, a strong smell of blood carried up with the wind, and the marijuana flower held on to a boulder and kept vomiting. The blood gathered together, and the corpses of the Burmese soldiers were soaked in pools of blood, and there was still blood bubbling from the arrow holes on their bodies.

"Cleaning the battlefield" Zhao Zhimu turned around and went up the mountain, and the guys behind him rushed up and began to clean the battlefield. The valuable items on the corpses were taken out and thrown into steel helmets, and occasionally the Burmese soldiers who did not die were directly cut by bayonets.

It's not that Zhao Zhi and the dogs are cruel, the veterans who participated in the first expedition to Burma still remember those robes who were hung on trees by the Burmese, gouging out their eyes and noses or hanging them directly. These robes were all captured by the Burmese with the Japanese army, and the executions were often carried out by the Burmese who had been very good with the expeditionary force, in Zhao Zhi's opinion, all the Burmese deserved to die, and there was nothing to discuss.

Zhao Zhi and the doglegs will not forget and dare not forget, those robes that were hung on the tree, which is also the main reason why Zhao Zhi has never been taken prisoner. Cleaning the battlefield is a lesson that the recruits of the direct company must learn, they must be ruthless, and the prisoners who have not lost their breath will resolutely mend their knives. The eyes must be poisoned, and all the valuable things on the corpse must be found and retrieved.

Since being appointed by Zhao Zhi as a training instructor, Roger has been committed to changing the military discipline of the doglegs, and has worked hard to turn them into qualified officers. But after getting along for a year, Roger didn't change the doglegs, but became the same as the doglegs.

When Zhao Dahai secretly reported Zhao Zhi's crimes, there was a clause about snatching the prisoner's personal belongings. The headquarters asked Zhao Zhi to explain, and Zhao Zhi replied directly and confidently, those were all trophies captured by the soldiers, not looting. Of course, Zhao Zhi has a basis, even Zhao Dahai himself has a Japanese watch, which is really black for crows and pigs.

"It is estimated that the Burmese squadron in New Pingyang has heard the gunshots, what should we do next?" Uncle Guo smoked the cigarette he had just gotten, and leaned over to ask Zhao Zhi about his next plan. "I don't know" Zhao Zhi unconsciously scribbled on the ground with a branch, thinking of countermeasures in his mind. The particularity of the direct company made Zhao Zhi have to be cautious all the time, and the direct company did not need to accept the command of the brother troops, and he could choose the direction and order of the attack.

Now Myanmar is full of troops from the Japanese army and the Burmese National Salvation Army, if Zhao Zhimao rashly throws off the 38th Division and goes it alone, with more than 100 people in his direct company, it is not enough for people to stuff their teeth. "Damn, I don't want to think about it if I can't think of it" Zhao Zhi threw away the branch, "Send a report to the headquarters, the direct company has controlled the commanding heights around Xinpingyang, the road is slippery in the rain, heavy equipment and supplies are trapped in the middle of the road, and they are unable to attack Xinpingyang alone, waiting for backup"

Zhao Zhi gave the hot potato man to the headquarters, and only the 38th Division itself knows what the situation of Ye Tian's infantry battalion is now, Zhao Zhi doesn't want to be a villain, so he didn't mention Ye Tian's infantry battalion in the telegram. Sure enough, the headquarters called back and asked Zhao Zhi's direct company to take Xinpingyang and wait for reinforcements to arrive.

"Uncle, which bastard did this plan? Isn't this sending Lao Tzu into the mouth of a tiger? Looking at the message, Zhao Zhi was not lightly angry, and tore the message to shreds in a few handfuls. After deducting logistics and artillery teams, Zhao Zhi was able to show less than 80 people. With dozens of people and 2,000 Japanese soldiers, the guy who made this plan is really not an ordinary bastard.

"Call back, the direct company now has less than 50 mobile troops, and it may be difficult to complete the task" Zhao Zhi didn't talk nonsense, and directly sent another telegram back to the headquarters.

"Bastard, what does this Zhao Zhi want to do? Want to rebel? A big hand slapped the message sent back by Zhao Zhi on the table, and the owner of the hand was Zhao Zhi's old acquaintance \u2014 Zhao Yuanzhi. Zhao Yuanzhi is now the operational staff officer and acting chief of staff of the 38th Division, with the rank of major general, and his momentum is a little more powerful than when he was in Ramgar.

The headquarters of the Indian Expeditionary Force has been moved from Ramgarh to Ledo, and Zhao Zhi's reply has caused an uproar in the headquarters, and the bigwigs are discussing inside, and staff officers like Zhao Yuanzhi are also discussing outside, and the entire headquarters is like a noisy vegetable market.

"You can't say that," Wallace, who tilted his head, shot back at Zhao Yuanzhi in stumbling Chinese, "There are only more than 100 people in the direct company, and it is already very good to be able to take the commanding heights around Xinpingyang, and it is estimated that their casualties will not be small." Even if they take the new Pingyang, without heavy equipment and supplies, how can you let them hold the new Pingyang? ”

Seeing that Zhao Yuanzhi didn't speak, Wallace's eyes rolled, and he said again, "Doesn't your 38th Division have an infantry battalion near Xinpingyang?" Just let them go, there are many of them, and there is no shortage of supplies, so they should be stronger than the combat effectiveness of the direct company, right? ”

Damn, this big nose is not a good thing, Zhao Yuanzhi glared at Wallace in disgust, and asked rhetorically, "That infantry battalion has lost contact with the 112th Regiment, and I can't find them for the time being." Now the closest to Xin Pingyang is Zhao Zhi's direct company, who else can he send if he doesn't send them? ”

"Haha" Listening to Zhao Yuanzhi's words, Wallace couldn't help but laugh, "But, I heard that your infantry battalion was defeated by the Japanese mixed brigade stationed in Xinpingyang, it seems that this news is true" The faces of the officers of the 38th Division present changed color and turned black, and this time Ye Tian's infantry battalion really lost their faces.

"What then? Don't want the new Pingyang? Is this a plan made by the command? Zhao Yuanzhi simply moved the headquarters out.

"Without reinforcements, the direct company will definitely not be able to hold Xinpingyang, rather than that, it is better to evacuate as soon as possible, so as not to increase unnecessary casualties" A fair-skinned staff officer said a fair word, but Zhao Yuanzhi, who was furious, did not see the eye contact between the white face and Wallace.

"It takes 4 days for the most troops to arrive at Xinpingyang, and Zhao Zhi and they only have dozens of mobile troops, and this Xinpingyang is not easy to defend. Once the mixed brigade of the Japanese army counterattacks Xinpingyang, the company directly under it will be completely wiped out, and it is indeed not a good way to hold on to the reinforcements" Some people have already pointed out the disadvantages of holding on to the reinforcements, and the other staff officers do not mind adding a handful of firewood to make the fire burn stronger.

Zhao Yuanzhi usually relied on his identity as acting chief of staff in the headquarters, and there was no difficulty for these sub-staff officers. The staff officer who can enter the headquarters, there is no connection behind him, and none of them are fuel-efficient lamps. At this time, they actually joined forces to discuss that Zhao Yuanzhi's stubborn waiting plan was worthless, and Wallace, who was watching from the sidelines, kept holding back a smile.

The staff officers were talking outside, and the bigwigs in the room in the war room could hear it clearly, and they were now at a loss. After Ye Tian's infantry battalion and the mixed brigade of the Japanese army were in a melee, they lost contact with the 112th Regiment, and now there is only one unit of Zhao Zhi in the direction of Xinpingyang. According to the operational plan drawn up by the headquarters, the new Pingyang is bound to win, and the headquarters will use the new Pingyang as a bridgehead for counterattacking Burma, and the logistics facilities of the expeditionary force will be placed in the new Pingyang.

Originally, the 112th Regiment sent Ye Tian's infantry battalion to attack Xinpingyang, but he did not expect that due to intelligence mistakes and the rash advance of the infantry battalion, the infantry battalion was actually repelled by the Japanese army. As an auxiliary direct company, it took the outer position of Xin Pingyang, which made the bigwigs not be in a hurry. What the staff officer outside said was not wrong, once the mixed brigade of the Japanese army attacked Xinpingyang, the company directly under it would definitely not be able to stop it, and it was better to evacuate early than to take dozens of lives in vain.

Zhao Zhi didn't know that his telegram would cause an uproar in the headquarters, and he waited until after breakfast to receive a call back from the headquarters. In the telegram, Zhao Zhi was not asked to guard Xinpingyang, but he was just asked to act directly under the camera and watch it himself. Mom, what kind of tricks are these big guys playing? Zhao Zhi was a little confused when he took the message.

The telegram was passed around in the hands of the officers, and those who were illiterate also heard Yan Shijun read it again, and everyone's faces were at a loss. No matter what, let's take the new Pingyang first, with the 6 mountain cannons in his hand, Lao Tzu doesn't believe that he can suffer a loss. Zhao Zhi shook his head fiercely and gathered the officers together to discuss how to take Xinpingyang.

Nearly 4 hours have passed since the end of the battle, and there has been no movement on the side of Xinpingyang, it seems that the Burmese squadron stationed in Xinpingyang has not found any abnormality here, and the direct company is still very sure of taking Xinpingyang.

"We can fight, but we can't hold it after we fight?" Yan Shijun raised his face to look at Zhao Zhi. His chief seems to be young, but he is actually very assertive, and Yan Shijun wants to find out what Zhao Zhi has in mind.

"You must fight, you don't have to stick to it after you fight" Zhao Zhi winked at the officers, with a treacherous expression on his face. Seeing that everyone was still at a loss, Zhao Zhi had no choice but to explain to them carefully: It had just rained, and the Japanese army would not be able to come back for a while, which left enough time for us to take Xinpingyang. After taking Xinpingyang, all the supplies were moved up the mountain, and all the facilities in Xinpingyang were bulldozed, and Lao Tzu did not believe that the Japanese army could be stationed in the field.

"Are you trying to force the Japanese army to attack the mountain? Let's take advantage of the terrain to drag down the Japanese army and slowly consume their combat power" Yan Shijun's mind turned, and he immediately thought of Zhao Zhi's plan.

"Not bad" Zhao Zhi plunged the branch in his hand into the soil, "The terrain here is very favorable to us, the Japanese army is also attacking from the back, Lao Tzu has food, ammunition and artillery, I don't believe they can do anything to Lao Tzu"/AUT
