Chapter 92
"Okay, you can also dissipate your anger, that guy is out" Zhao Zhi persuaded Uncle Guo, who was still angry. Zhao Zhi asked him to bring all the trucks in the hospital, and it was better to move things in advance when it was night, so as not to make any mistakes after a long night. After the men of the 114th Regiment and the Engineer Regiment were stationed in Ledo, there was a lot of chaos in the hospital, and Edward's annoyed head was several times bigger. He had long thought about living with Zhao Zhi and them, but Zhao Zhi just didn't agree, he really couldn't be interested in Edward's foreigners.
"These bastards, you can't see them when you're fighting, and it's quite quick to take advantage" As soon as the hot-tempered old cannon came back, he listened to the elites talk about the day's events, and he was so angry that he couldn't go and clean up Gao Dabiao's kid immediately.
"Shut up, it's not messy enough, right" Zhao Zhi glanced at Lao Pao, who obediently closed his mouth, ate in a low voice and honestly, and stopped complaining. There were a few of them who watched the show, and they rolled into a pile of laughing front and back, and the angry old cannon pounced on it for a scuffle. Zhao Zhi, who was gnawing on the chicken legs, didn't stop him, and sat on the side with Uncle Guo and looked at it with a smile, everyone hadn't been so lively for a long time.
The warehouse was full of 4 truckloads, and Uncle Guo would never leave a little left for the guys of the 114th regiment. It took a long time for a dozen foreigners and doglegs brought by Edward to move everything. In the end, the old cannon used the need for planks as an excuse to load all the planks that could be removed from the warehouse onto the truck. The blacksmith and Xiucai also followed the old cannon and dismantled the warehouse to pieces, which can be regarded as stopping.
It's only two miles away, and it doesn't take much effort to get there. During the day, the old cannon had already cleared the field with people and set up a few tents. Although the tent was set up crookedly in a hurry, it did not allow everyone to sleep in the wilderness. The place where the old artillery is looking is indeed very good, Zhao Zhi is very satisfied, at least he will not be threatened by the Japanese artillery bombardment again.
Edward and Zhao Zhi have been together for a long time, but they still learned the stinginess of Uncle Guo and the cunning of Zhao Zhi, and they took a cart of things from Zhao Zhi. But for Zhao Zhi, who is already wealthy, these things are nothing, just give them. Zhao Zhi estimated that the old cannon had been a bandit before, and sent Edward away, and everyone worked together for half a night, and all the guns and ammunition that could not be used were buried in the foundation of the wooden house by the old cannon, and no one would have thought that there would be a gun buried under the house.
No matter how angry the guys of the 114th Regiment are standing on the side of the devastated warehouse that has been picked up by old artillery, Zhao Zhi is very busy now, and he takes people to cut down trees and build houses every day. According to Lao Pao's wishes, he wanted to use rice to hire some locals to help, so as to speed up the construction of the house. But the wealth did not reveal the wealth, and Uncle Guo resolutely disagreed, so Zhao Zhi and the others had to do it themselves.
Originally, the manpower was relatively tight, but fortunately, Edward and Wallace often brought foreign soldiers to the camp to eat, and there was nothing to eat in the world, and the guys who came to eat were all assigned by Zhao Zhifa to cut wood. When there are more people, the work will naturally be faster, especially after the tall foreign soldiers join, and the kung fu camp will be full of wood around it for a few days. The self-proclaimed foreman Lao Pao was very appreciative of the foreigner's labor ability, and claimed that if there were such a group of guys in the pingchang, he would be able to build a two-story building.
"Boom" "Boom" The Japanese army, in accordance with the usual practice, began to shell Ledo on time again. At this time, the time of the Japanese army's artillery bombardment was very fixed, three times a day, in the morning, noon and evening, each time for ten minutes, which was simply pinching the time. After searching, the well-equipped 114th Regiment carried out encirclement and suppression attacks on several nearby hills, but was counterattacked by the Japanese army again and again. So far, the commanding heights around Ledo are still in the hands of the Japanese army, and the continuous shelling of the Japanese army every day has become a means of provocation to the expeditionary force.
Compared with Zhao Zhi's leisure, Zhang Tianxiang, the commander of the 114th Regiment, has been very irritable these days, and if the Japanese troops around Leduo are not all wiped out, the engineer regiment will not be able to enter the jungle to pave the road. delayed Stilwell's Burma counteroffensive plan, and Zhang Tianxiang, the head of the regiment, could be regarded as the end of his work.
"Tuanza, what are you doing? Thinking about your sister-in-law, right? Jiang Cheng, an operational staff officer sent by the military department, entered Yu Shicun's headquarters with a telegram, and when he saw Zhang Tianxiang in a daze, he made a joke.
"There, I'm thinking about those little devils on the mountain, the engineering regiment urges me every day, but what can I do, I already know the location of the little devils, but I can't attack them, Lao Tzu's battalion has suffered more than 200 casualties" Zhang Tianxiang covered his head bitterly.
Jiang Cheng rolled his eyes, leaned in front of Zhang Tianxiang and whispered, "Tuanzuo, I have a good candidate, I don't know if you dare to use it?" Zhang Tianxiang was very dissatisfied with Jiang Cheng's deliberate betrayal, "Say it quickly?" Jiang Cheng sat on the side, wrote a big Zhao character on the paper, and then pointed at the Zhao character with his finger, looking at Zhang Tianxiang with a smile, but he didn't pick out what he meant.
Zhang Tianxiang thought for a long time before he suddenly looked at Jiang Cheng with realization, "You mean that Zhao Zhi who doesn't give face to the old man?" ”
"That's right, it's Zhao Zhi. This guy has come back from fighting the Japanese army all the way from the jungles of Burma, and most of his subordinates are brave warriors, and he is a master of mountain warfare, you might as well try him" Jiang Cheng had a very respectful expression on his face, but he secretly laughed in his heart. was humiliated by Zhao Zhi's people in Kunming, Jiang Cheng has always had no way to take revenge, and now he uses this Zhang Tianxiang to allow Zhao Zhi to take his people to fight hard with the Japanese army. The Japanese troops on those mountains are not easy to fight, not a single battalion has been taken down, and Zhao Zhi only has dozens of people now, so can he still have him.
Jiang Cheng's words were like a booster for Zhang Tianxiang, who was irritable, and he couldn't care about the grievances between Yu Shicun and Zhao Zhi now, so he grabbed the belt on the table and went out. Between face and his future, Zhang Tianxiang can still tell which is more important. He plans to fight for his old face today, and also ask Zhao Zhi to agree to send troops.
As soon as the sky dawned, Zhao Zhi squatted on the roof and smashed the nails hard, today was the day when the top of his major's mansion fell, Zhao Zhi insisted on going up and nailing the nails himself. The first wooden house was nailed with a wooden sign --- the headquarters of the advance battalion, and the doglegs unanimously decided to let Zhao Zhi live in the first wooden house, referred to as the major's residence. Zhao Zhi was also very helpless about the tricks played by the rotten people who had nothing to do, so he had to accept this humble mansion with leaves and branches inside and out. In fact, this is the first thing called a house that Zhao Zhi built by himself after joining the national army.
There are not many things in the house, the bed was found by the old cannon in the bombed house, the table was brought by old Holly from the hospital, the cover was brought by Linda, and the things in Zhao Zhi's room were all for everyone, and none of them were prepared by themselves. When Zhang Tianxiang and Yu Shicun rushed to Zhao Zhi's hillside, Edward was celebrating the completion of Zhao Zhi's mansion with Old Holly and Linda, and a group of people were eating barbecue around Lao Cannon. Lao Pao's barbecue technique has not degraded, the beef is roasted very fragrantly, and Yu Shicun, who smelled the fragrance from afar, also swallowed his saliva.
"Battalion Commander Zhao, I have something to do with you" Yu Shicun was cheeky, but he still found Zhao Zhi hard, for his official title, Yu Shicun finally chose to bow to Zhao Zhi, after all, he was begging for someone now.
"Ah, it's Chief of Staff Yu, is there anything wrong with us?" Zhao Zhi had a polite smile on his face, and asked Yu Shicun lightly, there was not the slightest slackness in his tone, but there was no trace of enthusiasm.
"That's right, the Engineer Regiment has been stationed in Ledo for a few days, and has not yet begun to pave the way into the jungle. There are still remnants of the Japanese army on the mountain that have not been wiped out, and our people really have no experience in mountain warfare, so I hope Battalion Commander Zhao can lend a hand to help me, how about it? Yu Shicun explained his intentions very simply, and waited for Zhao Zhi's reply.
"This?" Zhao Zhi was groaning, "Our advance battalion is under the direct command of the Allied Command, brother, I really don't dare to attack without a life, or you can contact the superiors of the Headquarters, there is no problem on my side" Zhao Zhi made a Tai Chi move and kicked the ball to the Allied Command. But this is indeed the case, not that Zhao Zhi is arrogant.
"This, Battalion Commander Zhao, our regiment commander Zhang Tianxiang and Regiment Commander Zhang are also here, look, are you going to talk about it first?" Yu Shicun accompanied the smiling face, brought Zhao Zhi to Zhang Tianxiang, and introduced the two to each other. Zhang Tianxiang, who was born in the army, has big ears, a very burly figure, a loud voice, and a fast speech, "I have admired the name of Camp Commander Zhao for a long time, and I have never had the opportunity to meet, but when I see it today, it is really a young and handsome man, haha" Zhang Tianxiang hugged his fist at Zhao Zhiyi boldly, with a lot of affection.
People were smiling, Zhao Zhi didn't do too much, he just said what he had just said to Yu Shicun, and repeatedly emphasized that he needed to receive orders from the headquarters, and in the battle by the Ledo River, his own casualties were too great, and now there are less than 30 people left who can still be used. Zhang Tianxiang saw that Zhao Zhi and his people were indeed injured, and what Zhao Zhi said was indeed true, so he had to say a few words of greeting and leave in a hurry.
