? "No, we can't hide it from everyone, at least our own brothers have to know about these things, I can't hide it from them" After a moment of anger, Zhao Zhi came back to his senses, and the message that turned into a ball of paper was carefully unfolded by him. It recorded the telegram that made Zhao Zhi extremely angry just now, and it also confirmed that Zhao Zhi's suspicion of the 400 supplementary soldiers behind him was not unfounded.

"What do you say? Are we being used as bait? Equally angry was Roger, the guy who had long considered himself one of the dogs. This mission came strangely, if Zhao Zhi hadn't said that he had taken the initiative to win it, Roger would have objected a long time ago. But the telegram in front of him confirmed that his suspicion was right. The direct battalion was betrayed, and they were taken as victims.

"Old man, I said a long time ago that their things are not so easy to give, and they want to exchange our brothers' lives, you still don't believe it, but now you believe it, right?" Uncle Guo was still squatting on the ground smoking his cigarette pouch pot, and in the face of everyone's anger, he just smiled bitterly. On the surface, the expeditionary force is led by a big nose, but the main generals and executors are all from the national army, that is to say, the expeditionary force cannot avoid those mountaineering and factions in the national army.

Zhao Zhi was repeatedly harassed by Zhao Yuanzhi, to a large extent, he should have been instigated or fueled by the bigwigs in the army, their purpose was to force Zhao Zhi to stand in line, as long as he took refuge in one of them, then the trouble would disappear immediately. And Zhao Zhi's biggest mistake was that his direct company never stood in line, they were always under the command of Big Nose, and they didn't even meet those military bigwigs. No matter how good Zhao Zhi and his direct company are, they still came out of the national army, and they are still in the sequence of the national army, so the unruly Zhao Zhi has become a certain victim.

Yuan Qingqing and Linda, who still had droplets of water in their hair, walked over quickly, and when they received the order to assemble the officers, the two of them were washing their hair, so they came late. The solemnity on everyone's faces made the two of them not know what was going on, and when they were about to open their mouths to ask, they saw Cao Yan leaning against a stone gesturing to them, that gesture was a relatively hidden gesture among their female soldiers, and Zhao Zhi and the men didn't know what it contained.

"What's wrong? What's going on again? Yuan Qingqing wiped the drops of water in Linda's hair with a dry cloth, and asked Cao Yan disappretently, she thought that Zhao Zhi had summoned everyone for the 400 supplementary soldiers. To tell the truth, the female soldiers led by Yuan Qingqing were also very disgusted with those supplementary soldiers, and they marched one by one, and after they arrived at the camp to relieve themselves, there were more than a dozen guys wandering back and forth on the female soldiers' side. Looking at the hue on their faces, Yuan Qingqing and the others felt extremely uncomfortable, if it weren't for the sake of stabilizing the morale of the army, the female soldiers would have started to teach those annoying guys a lesson.

"I don't know, but looking at the appearance of the chief, it shouldn't be a good thing" Cao Yan picked her chin and motioned to Yuan Qingqing and Linda to pay attention to the expressions of Zhao Zhi and Roger. At this time, Zhao Zhi and the others formed a small circle, arguing quietly about something, but looking at their ugly faces should not be a good thing. Yuan Qingqing's eyebrows raised, because in her impression, she had never seen Zhao Zhi and there was a dispute between them, everyone had long been accustomed to acting according to Zhao Zhi's plan, even if Zhao Zhi's plan had many loopholes, everyone tried their best to improve and remedy it, but they never argued with Zhao Zhi.

"No, absolutely not, you can't risk the lives of your brothers. Once the command knows that we are disobedient, they will cut off the airdrop to us. What do so many brothers eat and drink? If there is no ammunition supply, our current weapons and equipment will not be enough to fight the Japanese army, where can we go? Hiding in the mountains as a savage? "Edward is a little crazy, the true intentions of the headquarters are too hidden, if it weren't for Zhao Zhi and Wallace, I'm afraid everyone would still be kept in the dark.

"But we can't just wait to be surrounded by the Japanese army in the mountains, we have overcome so many difficulties, and this little storm can be nothing. We still have more than 700 people, those who have guns and cannons are afraid of what they will do, and it is impossible for the little Japanese to eat us at once" The old cannon deliberately ridiculed the situation facing the battalion directly under him now, and tried to ease the somewhat depressing atmosphere, but few people agreed with his words, and everyone still waited for Zhao Zhi to make a final decision with a strained face.

"Okay, let's call everyone else over" Zhao Zhi threw away the cigar in his hand and took back the telegram from Roger's hand, "Gather everyone because there is one thing I want to tell you, the telegram in my hand was just transmitted by Wallace, and it determines the life and death of our people, including of course the more than 700 brothers" Zhao Zhi's words made the other officers a little confused, but looking at Zhao Zhi's face, it didn't look like he was joking.

Zhao Zhi raised his hand holding the telegram, and said with a solemn face, "Wallace made clear the true intention of our mission in the telegram, and the battalion directly under us was used as a bait by the headquarters, and our task was not to climb over the Gaoligong Mountain, but to use it as a bait to lure away the Japanese alert troops on the periphery of Myitkyina, and to open a way for the US sneak attack troops who came by the detour."

"What? How so? "The officers who learned the inside story were fried, and the direct company has always had an excellent record, and after a series of bloody battles with the Japanese army, it has suffered several casualties. They couldn't figure out why the headquarters had so much, why they would throw their own people as bait, was it because the direct company could fight?

"Okay, shut up" Zhao Zhi looked at the chaotic officers with annoyance, "Just such a little thing, you guys are in a mess, so how can we get out of the hands of the Japanese army?" Zhao Zhi's words worked, and the young officers stopped arguing in unison and looked at Zhao Zhi with a look of shame. Only Yan Shijun was still bowing his head in contemplation, and the look that flashed in his eyes from time to time attracted Zhao Zhi's attention.

"Scholar, tell me, what do you think" Zhao Zhi saw Yan Shijun's recent performance. Several times of leading the team alone, Yan Shijun gave full play to his command level, this young guy has gradually won the recognition of officers and veterans, and his quick brain and thinking are what Zhao Zhi values most.

Yan Shijun did not express his dissatisfaction with Zhao Zhi's general, but just smiled slightly and said four words, "The plan will be calculated" In the face of everyone's doubts, Yan Shijun explained, "It is the plan is the plan, since the headquarters has not made it clear that we are here as bait, then we still pretend that we don't know anything and continue to march towards Gaoligong Mountain." The necessary supplies were not requested as usual, and the daily telegrams were sent to the headquarters as usual, and in short, everything was still the same as before."

"Even if the Japanese army has already begun to pursue us, don't forget that what we are best at is mountain warfare, as long as we don't go out to the plains, the Japanese army will have no way to take us. Even if there is a firefight with them, we may not be at a loss, not to mention that we still have more than 700 brothers" Yan Shijun squinted his eyes from Zhao Zhi's appearance, tore the telegram to shreds, and stepped deep into the dirt with his military boots. Yan Shijun's words played a certain role, especially those young officers were already giggling, and the previous achievements of the direct company made them have enough capital to be proud of.

"What the scholar said is very right, we are now pretending not to know anything, the direction of travel is still Gaoligong Mountain, and the headquarters will never take the initiative to clarify the whole plan to us. There are two things we need to do at present, first, immediately find an airdrop site, apply to the headquarters for the first batch of airdrop materials as soon as possible, and the quantity must be large, don't forget, our more than 700 brothers only have a small amount of ammunition and food in their backpacks, and we must ensure that their material reserves can support 10 days of activities in the jungle. Second, starting today, we will use the radio to report the battle situation to the headquarters, saying that we have exchanged fire with the Japanese army and are in the midst of a struggle."

Zhao Zhi's response was not bold, falsely reporting the battle situation was subject to military law, and at this time, there were nearly 400 guys in the battalion directly under him who were not of the same heart as him. As long as after the war, someone mentions their experience in the mountains and forests and is heard by someone who cares, Zhao Zhi, as the military commander of the battalion directly under him, will go to the military prison for falsifying the war situation, and if there is a guy like Zhao Yuanzhi at that time, waiting for Zhao Zhi will be extremely severe punishment.

"No, absolutely not, Zhao, are you crazy? Don't you know what kind of punishment will be imposed for reporting a fake war situation? Edward grabbed Zhao Zhi's arm tightly, his blue eyes full of concern. As a senior military officer, Edward knew that Zhao Zhi was forced to do this, but once this matter was revealed, Zhao Zhi's military career would be over, and he would even be severely punished after the war, and he couldn't watch his friend walk into the abyss step by step.

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, so what do you say we should do? What do you say? Zhao Zhi's anger suddenly exploded, he grabbed the front lining of Edward's military uniform with both hands, and roared hysterically, desperately venting the dissatisfaction and grievances he had been suppressing. Since he began to lead the advance battalion, Zhao Zhi has been burdened with responsibilities that do not match his age, and the continuous casualties of the brothers around him made him confused for a while, and even thought of giving up, so he will always cultivate Xiucai and later Yan Shijun, this is Zhao Zhi's preparation for them to take over his class and lead these brothers to find a way to live. In other words, due to the large number of casualties among the brothers, Zhao Zhi developed a distrust of himself.

"Do nothing, just like the scholar said, you will calculate" Edward grabbed Zhao Zhi and put his forehead on Zhao Zhi's forehead, like a real brother whispered in Zhao Zhi's ear, "It is necessary to receive supplies, but it is absolutely not okay to forge war reports, no, do you know?" These brothers want to go home, and I want to go home, but I can't use you as a bargaining chip, you know? These people are still waiting for you to take them home, think about those who died in battle, they won't agree to you doing this" Edward's words hit Zhao Zhi's heart like a hammer, knocking on the collapse and separation of the layer of defense that had always existed in his heart.

Zhao Zhi finally chose to compromise, but Edward didn't have anything, but with Yuan Qingqing and Linda, he only had to surrender. These two women chose not to abandon Zhao Zhi when he was in the most difficult time, so it was impossible for Zhao Zhi to live up to their expectations, not to mention that the current situation was not as bad as imagined. At least the scouts who stayed behind had not noticed that the Japanese were in pursuit, and Wallace's telegram did not say that the American raiding force had departed, which meant that at least for the time being, the command would not abandon them.

"Okay, okay, I promised you" Zhao Zhi shrugged his shoulders as he learned Edward's classic movements, and smiled wryly with his hands spread out. Since this is what everyone wants, he can only obey as the commander of the battalion directly under him. The topic has been discussed, and the following things are much easier to do, at least everyone has agreed on the action arrangement. The real purpose of the battalions directly under the command has been known, and the most urgent thing at the moment is, of course, to find a way to deal with it, which can not only save lives, but also ensure that the material support of the headquarters will not be lost.

First of all, the airdrop and supply of materials must be carried out immediately, and the supply of materials is subject to the command, which is the biggest problem of the battalion directly under the command, once the supply airdrop is cut off by the headquarters, the battalion directly under the battalion will completely lose the ammunition supply for the battle with the Japanese army, then they will only plunge into the mountains and forests and keep fleeing and evading. According to Zhao Zhi's exaggerated supply list, the supply of more than 700 people will be a large number of supplies, but Zhao Zhi doesn't care, as long as the headquarters dares to give it, he dares to accept it, and he doesn't even consider whether he can take them all away.

"Sir, the scouts on the back road have sent a message on the walkie-talkie, and they have found that there are Japanese troops operating behind us, and the detailed number is not known at present" One of the scouts under the goat ran over, and when the goat was not there, this sergeant was responsible for contacting the scouts of the three teams in the back. Zhao Zhi and Yan Shijun glanced at each other, and then laughed in unison, and the sergeant who came to report was frightened by Zhao Zhi and Yan Shijun's reaction, and just looked at these two guys who were laughing wildly.

I really fell asleep and came to the pillow, Edward had just denied Zhao Zhi's plan, and there were traces of the Japanese army nearby, so now Edward can't say that he was lying about the military situation. "Zhao Yan, send a report to the headquarters, it is said that a large number of Japanese pursuing troops have appeared behind the directly subordinate battalion, and I hope that the headquarters will immediately prepare to airdrop materials to the directly subordinate battalion, and the direct battalion will continue to march towards Gaoligong Mountain despite all difficulties" Zhao Zhi finished instructing Zhao Yan, and actually squeezed his eyes at Edward a few times.

"Goat ordered the scouts who stayed behind not to withdraw first, be sure to figure out the movements and numbers of those Japanese troops, machete, you take a team of scouts out to find a place that can be airdropped, and the rest of the scouts scattered to search the surrounding hills" The sudden appearance of the Japanese army made Zhao Zhi restore his confidence and began to arrange his officers' respective tasks in an orderly manner. ~
