Zhao Zhi sat on a canvas chair in front of the tent, comfortably crossing Erlang's legs, holding a cigar in his mouth and playing poker with Edward. Since playing Edward and their meals in the camp every day, the doglegs have learned to play poker, and when they are bored, they will occasionally play a few handfuls.

Paving the road was long and tedious, and the 114th Regiment sent more than 100 people to Zhao Zhi, plus Zhao Zhi's own people, just enough to get together 240 people. These 240 people were divided into 8 teams by Zhao Zhi, each team of 30 people, all American-style equipment, and four teams took turns to search the surroundings every day, and they were all equipped with walkie-talkies to connect very conveniently. It's been a week since I entered the jungle, and I haven't met Japanese soldiers yet, and I haven't found any traces of Japanese soldiers.

Edward and Wallace were still the liaison officers stationed in Zhao Zhi's troops, and with the addition of foreign gunsmiths, Zhao Zhi's team consisted of more than a dozen foreign soldiers and officers. Without the Japanese army, there would be no fighting, Zhao Zhi was idle every day, and he simply played poker with Edward and them every day, and the level rose a lot. Zhao Zhihao pondered, when he saw Yuan Qingqing and Linda, he would also teach them to play poker, and then the three of them could get together to play poker

The engineer regiment followed the road signs left by Zhao Zhi and them far away, and the road paved in the dense forest was no better than in the plain, and the sappers almost cut a road with a long knife. Fortunately, it is not yet the rainy season, and if it does, it will not be possible to do it with manpower alone. The 114th Regiment marched along with the Engineer Regiment, and they were responsible for the daily defense and vigilance of the Engineer Regiment.

Zhao Zhi and they drove along the trees that were blown down at that time, and the speed was naturally very high, and they were already far ahead of the engineer regiment. The 114th Regiment had to contact Zhao Zhi by radio and ask Zhao Zhi to slow down their march. Zhao Zhi and the others had no choice but to set up camp in an open place, waiting for the troops behind, and just routinely sending a team to search the surroundings every day, which could be regarded as a kind of training for the team.

"Sir, this is the latest order" Edward took the telegram from the radio soldier, looked at it a few times, and handed it to Zhao Zhi. "What? We were asked to go to the Baichahai area and cooperate with the 114th Regiment to seize the commanding heights of the line from Karaka to Dagaka. Damn, is this gang of old men sick, there are only more than 200 people, what are you going to make a fuss about" Zhao Zhi couldn't help but scold after reading the message.

Both Karaka and Dagaka were in the Hukang Valley, where the Japanese 18th Division, which had been transferred to Burma after the Battle of Wuhan. The Japanese troops of this division have experienced jungle warfare for nearly four years, and have been dubbed the "Jungle Tigers" by the Japanese army, with a total number of about 30,000 people. Zhao Zhi was not afraid of the Japanese army, but he didn't want to attack with the 114th Regiment, and he didn't save him when he saw death in Ledo for 2 consecutive times, which made Zhao Zhi very disappointed in the 114th Regiment. If the same thing were to happen again in Karaka, it was estimated that Zhao Zhi and the others would all have to die there.

Zhao Zhi had to guard against the lessons of the past, he didn't want the brothers to be sent to death without explanation. Edward had experienced two incidents, and he knew very well what Zhao Zhi was thinking. Without speaking, Edward just patted Zhao Zhi and picked up the message that Zhao Zhi threw on the ground. Edward turned and went into the tent, where he was going to send a telegram to the headquarters to find a solution. Now we can't fall out with the 114th regiment, because Zhao Zhi's supplies are provided by the 114th regiment, which is in the jungle, once the 114th regiment cuts off the supply of supplies, Zhao Zhi's situation will be dangerous.

"The command called back, saying that the 114th Regiment had lost its way in the jungle twice as planned and had to return to the starting point. The command just asked us to guide the 114th Regiment to Karaka, and the rest is none of our business" Edward, who came out of the tent, had no joy on his face, and in his opinion, this telegram was no different from the previous one, just a different word.

Zhao Zhi sighed and instructed the dog, "Use the walkie-talkie to call everyone back" Zhao Zhi, who entered the tent, drove everyone out, staying alone inside and not knowing what to do. The command's hand is not a clever move, as long as Zhao Zhi goes to Karaka, Zhao Zhi can't help it, as long as Karaka has a fight, Zhao Zhi and they don't want to leave. No wonder the 114th Regiment was so generous that it would give Zhao Zhi a company before the operation, it turned out that the root cause was in this.

Zhao Zhi's own people are only a few dozen people, and there is no guarantee that the 114th Regiment will be able to reach Karaka. Now it's different, Zhao Zhi has more than 200 people, so this task must inevitably be completed. Otherwise, Zhao Zhi is disobedient on the battlefield, and this hand is ruthless enough. Zhao Zhi, who was lying on the marching bed, was puzzled, and he really didn't know who he had offended. It is said that Zhao Yuanzhi doesn't have such a lot of energy, but if Zhao Yuanzhi hadn't made it bad, who would it be?

The walkie-talkie was just fine, and before dinner, all the squads were back. The team of goats also brought back a small wild boar, and the dogs would get some prey every time they went out to search. But this time Zhao Zhi did not have the slightest interest in wild boars, which made the dogs very strange, you know, every time Zhao Zhi did not eat less meat. Zhao Zhi's mood was not high, which directly affected the others, and a depressing atmosphere permeated the entire temporary camp.

"Tell me, what's going on?" As soon as Uncle Guo returned to the camp, he sensed that something was wrong, his group had gone the farthest and the last to return. Zhao Zhi has been waiting for everyone to come back, the wild boar is very fragrant by the old cannon, and the bonnet is very hot. Zhao Zhi took out a bottle of foreign wine and poured a little into everyone's mouth jar, and everyone looked at Zhao Zhi in surprise. When marching, Zhao Zhi strictly ordered that you should not drink alcohol at will, so why did you make an exception today.

Holding his mouth jar, Zhao Zhi drank it all, and his tanned face was covered with a hint of redness. "Today, a new order came from the command. Tomorrow we are going to turn around" "Turn around, are you going to go back to the column too much" "Nonsense, we haven't reached the plain yet, we still have a long way to go" The doglegs heard that they were going to turn around, and they were all talking about it. "Don't make any noise, listen to the chief" The goat knocked on the mouth jar, the scene was quiet, and they all looked at Zhao Zhi.

"The headquarters ordered us to go and join the 114th Regiment, provide them with a guide, and guide them to the front line of Karaka and Dagaca" Zhao Zhi took another sip of wine, and his head was already a little drowsy. Then after drinking, Zhao Zhi took out his pistol and slapped it fiercely on the wooden pier that temporarily served as a table. With his eyes a little drunk, Zhao Zhi slowly looked at the guys from the 114th Regiment, "You are all from the 114th Regiment, if you are willing to go back, I will not stop you, and you can go back tomorrow when you meet with the 114th Regiment." But if you choose to stay in the advance camp, then you have to follow my rules, and if you make any small moves, don't blame my guns for not recognizing people."

Zhao Zhi's words were bloody and shocking, and these elites who had been trained in Lambgar all lowered their heads and did not speak. Before entering Ledo, he was complacent because he was the 38th Division, but when he arrived in Ledo, he was stunned by Zhao Zhi's sniper battle by the river. The 200 men, who lacked heavy weapons, fought fiercely for two days and one night against nearly 1,000 Japanese troops, and their own casualties had already passed eighty percent, and they still fought to the death. Almost all the soldiers of the 114th Regiment had seen the tragic position by the river, and the officers felt that they would not have achieved such a result if they had commanded the snipers.

Later, Zhao Zhi led 200 people to clear the Japanese army in the mountains and forests around Ledo, and the 114th Regiment did not have a single integrated battalion to defeat the hills, and the 200 people took down several of them. In the 114th Regiment and even Ledo, there are very few people who don't know Zhao Zhi in the advance battalion. Especially Zhao Zhi's two confidants, one of whom is also the famous military doctor Linda of the Flower Liedo Hospital. This time, the 114th Regiment sent a company of troops to join the advance battalion, and the company commanders of each company rushed to come, and finally Zhang Tianxiang set the third company of the 2nd Battalion, and the company commander Zhang Zijie of this company was a distant relative of Zhang Tianxiang.

Zhang Tianxiang chose Zhang Zijie's third company to come to the advance camp, originally thinking that this kid would learn something from Zhao Zhi, and by the way, stick to Zhao Zhi's Guanghao promotion, and those guys who originally followed Zhao Zhi were all lieutenants. It is not so easy to get promoted in the national army, and the most common meritorious service is a reward at most, but the guys who follow Zhao Zhi are all captains who are promoted directly from soldiers.

These days, Zhang Zijie has indeed learned a lot from Zhao Zhi, although the veterans under Zhao Zhi are all in the rank of second lieutenant, they rarely put on the stand of officers. In their daily marches, they would always teach the guys from the 114th Regiment some common sense that they needed to know in the jungle, which were things that they had not even been taught by the instructors during their training in Ramgarh.

Of course, Zhang Zijie didn't know if Zhao Zhi was drunk or intentionally said so, and this guy who followed Zhang Tianxiang to fight at the age of 16 was not a fuel-efficient thing. Zhang Zijie rolled his eyes, stood up and patted his chest vigorously, "Yingza, my brothers in the third company are all good, there will be no such thing as chickens and dogs, you can rest assured" Zhao Zhi seemed to be very satisfied with Zhang Zijie's answer, and touched several glasses of wine with Zhang Zijie in a row, and finally fell asleep directly on the wooden pier.

"Send someone to look at that Zhang Zijie, it may be him who secretly contacted the 114th regiment" Waiting for Zhao Zhi to be helped back into the tent by the dog and the steamed bun, he suddenly spoke, and the frightened dog and the steamed bun jumped. Looking at Zhao Zhi again, there was a hint of drunkenness, and Zhao Zhi was pretending to be drunk.

In the afternoon, Zhao Zhi, who had always felt that something was not right, contacted Roger who stayed in the camp through the radio and asked him to find out about the situation with the US military instructors in the 114th regiment. The result was the same as Zhao Zhi guessed, someone on Zhao Zhi's side was secretly using the radio to contact the 114 regiment, and he had been reporting Zhao Zhi's movements, and it was estimated that even what Zhao Zhi ate at night, the 114 regiment could know.

Zhao Zhi hates the guy who does small actions behind his back, and after a few thoughts, Zhao Zhi and Edward put the question on Zhang Zijie, the commander of the 3rd company. This kid is a distant relative of Zhang Tianxiang, and Zhang Zijie sleeps in a triangular tent alone, and no one will find out if he leaves the camp at any time. Moreover, the soldiers of the third company accounted for more than half, and no one would beat Zhang Zijie's small report.
