Chapter 277: Plains

The roaring plane crossed the sky, Zhao Zhiyang waved to the transport plane leading the team, the wing of the transport plane was painted with a big dog head, you don't need to think about it to know that it is Catherine's landline, and the hair head and wrench must be on it. "Green" This is the second time that the direct battalion has requested material airdrops, of course, this is after Edward reported the battle situation to the headquarters, and two more Japanese garrisons were attracted by the direct battalions, if not, the headquarters would not have airdropped supplies to Zhao Zhi. Those who don't work have nothing to eat, and the bigwigs have to ensure that before the US assault force enters Myitkyina, Zhao Zhi and their bait will be good.

Zhao Zhi only wanted ammunition and food this time, the most important thing was explosives, and the ambush in the ravine made Zhao Zhi see the good use of explosives, at least the use of explosives could reduce the casualties of his brothers. Zhao Zhi didn't know if the transport plane could find them in the dense forest, so he decided to carry more food, even if the weight of each soldier had exceeded 20 kilograms.

The two Japanese garrisons placed on the periphery of Myitkyina were in hot pursuit, and the Japanese army, with a total number of more than 700 people, chased Zhao Zhisheng into the jungle, not that Zhao Zhi didn't want to fight, but that he was now bent on rushing to Gaoligong Mountain, and he didn't want to entangle with these guys. But whether to fight or not, it is not Zhao Zhi who has the final say, but the Japanese army who has been falling behind. Since the day before yesterday, they had appeared in the binoculars of the scouts of their battalion, and until now they were still falling behind, Edward suspected that they had other reinforcements, and the pursuers behind seemed to be deliberately keeping their distance.

The goats have already led a scout team out of the front for 5 miles to search, once they find that there are Japanese troops in front, they will immediately send a signal, and the direct battalion will turn around, if once surrounded by these Japanese soldiers in the jungle, then everyone will have to fight hard to survive. At present, Zhao Zhi can only use the 300 people received by Xinpingyang, and the 400 reinforcements sent by Leduo still can't get into his eyes, Zhao Zhi just uses them as packers, it's not okay to fight, it's always okay to carry something.

300 vs. 700, Zhao Zhi was not sure, and he was unwilling to try, after all, these brothers came to follow him over Gaoligong Mountain, not to die in this vast jungle with the Japanese army. Zhao Zhi still thought that he could pick a suitable place to have another big explosion like last time, but the Japanese troops following behind were too cunning, and they were always separated from the direct battalion by a distance of more than ten miles, and at this time, Zhao Zhi did not dare to stop rashly, he was afraid of being surrounded.

Time disappeared in the endless walking, over a mountain forest and the next one, wading through a mountain stream and the next one, several times Zhao Zhi couldn't help but turn around and fight with the pursuing Japanese army, but when he thought of the purpose of this trip, he had to grit his teeth and silently choose to give up. There were so many Japanese troops on the outskirts of Myitkyina, not to mention the Burmese troops with long knives, and if they were defeated, there would be others chasing after them, and by that time, the battalions would be in their pursuit.

These Japanese troops who were pursuing, like cats that smelled fish, drooped their tongues dripping with saliva, secretly hid their sharp claws, and quietly followed behind the battalion directly under them. As long as you relax a little, they will come out of the dense forest, tear off a piece of flesh from your body, and then go away and lie dormant in the dense forest again, waiting for the next secret attack, until you have no skin to bite and no strength to escape, they will appear in front of you as a victor and bite your neck. This is the trick used by the Japanese army in the Savage Mountains in 42 years, Zhao Zhi understands, Edward understands, and the doglegs also understand, so they will not let the Japanese army succeed, never.

Zhao Zhi already had a plan in his heart, the Japanese army must have an ambush in front, but the direct battalion has been changing the direction of movement in the jungle for the past two days, and the Japanese army is not sure about the true intention of the directly subordinate battalion for a while, so they are still waiting and seeing, and only after confirming the true intention of the directly subordinate battalion, they will send out the ambushed troops to encircle. If Zhao Zhi and the doglegs had just been transferred from China, they might have chosen to march in a straight line according to the original plan, but they were not, they were all veterans who had survived life and death in the jungles of Burma, and they were no less familiar with the jungle than the Japanese army, known as the jungle tigers.

Before noon, Zhao Zhi ordered the troops to stop and rest, and seize the time to rest and eat, they were now on the edge of a plain and hills, and the mountains on the other side of the plain were only a black line in the telescope, and Edward estimated that those mountains must be dozens of miles away from them. The soldiers sat together and munched on compressed biscuits in cans, and now was not the time to make a fire to boil water, so everyone had to save water from their own kettles. The female soldiers followed the dogs and them, and since they learned that Zhao Zhi was charging with submachine gunners again, Yuan Qingqing and Linda moved the female soldiers from the rear team to the front team and stayed with Zhao Zhi, they were really afraid that Zhao Zhi would be injured again.

"Sir, the goats said that there is no problem ahead, they are going to walk inside again" Yan Shijun's mouth was stuffed with canned meat, and he walked over with a hum, this kid and Cao Yan didn't know when they looked at each other, and the two of them were tired of being together when they were idle these days, looking like this, they should have just eaten Cao Yan's head. Cao Yan is not very beautiful, but her excellent marksmanship has a high reputation among the soldiers, and Cao Yan, who has short haircuts, has a wild beauty, which is also very attractive to the kind of confidence she inadvertently reveals when shooting, and obviously Yan Shijun is one of them.

"Inform the brothers, rest for 10 minutes and speed up through this plain, and when you arrive at the opposite mountain, you will rest when you arrive" The sun at noon is powerful, and it can directly stun people, but Zhao Zhi can't take care of this. If the speed of the march is slowed down, once the Japanese army is surrounded by this unconcealed plain, there will be only one way to fight. In the plain without any concealment, Zhao Zhi did not have such psychological preparation, at least not now, so he had to quickly pass through the fast plain and avoid potential dangers as much as possible.

Although the reinforcements who had rested for a while were extremely reluctant, they still got up and packed their equipment at the urging of the officers, and the fast-moving soldiers had already begun to descend the mountain under the guidance of the scouts, ready to enter the plain. Zhao Zhi looked at the procrastinating replenishment soldiers, just frowned and didn't say anything, just let the steamed buns urge them to speed up. Mantou's temper was not as good as that of the dog or Yan Shijun, and carrying a wooden stick was a stinky beating, like a sheep, driving the dragged reinforcements down the mountain, and followed the scouts into the plain.

Zhao Zhi's guess was right, the Japanese army did want to surround this group of "fleeing" Chinese troops, but they kept changing the direction of travel, so that the Japanese troops in front of the ambush could not figure out their true destination at all, so they did not rush to attack, but quietly hid in the mountains and forests and waited for the opportunity to deliver that fatal blow. The Japanese troops in ambush at the front had a Japanese squadron and more than 300 Burmese troops, so together with the Japanese troops pursuing behind the direct battalion, Zhao Zhi and the others had to face an enemy force with a total of more than 1,000 men.

The large number of pursuers could not have imagined that the people of China, who kept fleeing in front, would actually think of attacking their own ambush, and it was still on a plain, and such terrain could not be used as an ambush at all. But Zhao Zhi is now fighting this idea, and it is not pleasant to be pursued by the Japanese army, especially after he has just received ammunition and materials, in order to reduce the burden on the soldiers, Zhao Zhi decided to use this plain to teach the Japanese army who are chasing after him a lesson.

The ambushes of the battalions are often accompanied by deadly and powerful attacks, and this time is no exception, Yuan Qingqing and Linda led the female soldiers to escort the wounded away with a team of scouts first, and those strong reinforcements were assigned sapper shovels to start digging on the plains, and Zhao Zhi needed them to dig two trenches on the plains, which was to prepare for a head-on blow to the Japanese army. The first trench dug out required that it must be at a depth of 2 meters, and the communication trench was connected to the second trench at a depth of 1.5 meters behind, where Zhao Zhi's 100 submachine gunners were hiding.

Uncle Guo's snipers and the gunners of the old artillery hid in the mountains and forests and did not come out at all, they were Zhao Zhi's strange soldiers, and they were used as the backbone of the defeat of the Japanese army. Equipped with 20 scouts, they would not be discovered by the Japanese army at all, so Zhao Zhi was very relieved, once Zhao Zhi's side and the Japanese army caught fire, they would only be more than 200 meters away from the trench and they would raid the rear of the Japanese army in the mountains and forests, causing panic among the pursuing troops and causing their rout.

Pieces of turf that had been carefully shoveled up were put aside, and the dirt dug out of the trenches was sent to the mountains and forests by the soldiers with steel helmets and backpacks to hide, and what Zhao Zhi needed was a surprise attack, and if he didn't pay attention, he would be discovered and suspicious by the Japanese army, so all traces that could expose himself must be carefully removed. A large number of people is easy to do, the two trenches were dug up, and the excavated soil was transported far away by the soldiers with backpacks and steel helmets to the mountains and forests, and the dug up turf was carefully covered back to the top of the trenches, which looked like nothing different from usual from a distance, at least in Zhao Zhi's opinion.

The sweaty recruits didn't know what Zhao Zhi's purpose was, but under the pressure of the officers' bullets, these recruits were quite honest, just wielding the sapper shovels to dig the soil, but no one dared to ask Zhao Zhi why. Three hours, it only took three hours, Zhao Zhi had two trenches that met his requirements, and the two trenches were 30 meters apart, which was the effective distance for grenade throwing, and Zhao Zhi needed to use grenades as the main attack force this time.

There were some American-style grenades in the two airdrop supplies, and when the gully was ambushed, the soldiers under Zhao Zhi had no chance to use the grenades at all, so now everyone has more than 8 American-style grenades, not counting the large number of Japanese-style grenades in the rich man's logistics team. The days of marching on the mountain road have made these soldiers complain again and again, so Zhao Zhi must consume some grenades, otherwise the soldiers' bodies are not allowed to carry such a large weight to march in the jungle.

Zhao Zhi now has 100 submachine gunners and 200 additional soldiers using Garand, and the rest of the soldiers were handed over to Yan Shijun to take to the mountains and forests to hide, there are only two trenches, which really can't accommodate so many soldiers, so Zhao Zhi only selected 200 supplementary soldiers with good marksmanship to stay by his side, and the dogs and their young officers naturally want to follow Zhao Zhi. Cao Daman was fortunate to be left behind by Zhao Zhi, and he was assigned to defend the westernmost side of the second trench with 50 reinforcements, which was the closest place to Yan Shijun and them.

"Brother, what do you say sir? Aren't the Japanese in the back still unable to catch up with us? Why do you have to fight the Japanese? Henan Wa Rotten Egg hugged his rifle and came to Cao Daman and muttered quietly, full of reluctance. Saying that the rotten egg is a baby does not mean that he is young, but that he usually acts and speaks without scheming, and he is a child who has not grown up yet. But Cao Daman doesn't see it that way, the rotten egg's eyes that are dripping with thief light can't deceive him, this guy is a master who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger, anyway, he is also an uneasy one, sooner or later he has to make the chief break his head, as soon as he thinks of Zhao Zhi's hideous expression that day and the muzzle of the black hole in the dog's hand, Cao Daman shivered for no reason.

"Hurry up and check your rifle and bullets, we are just soldiers, we will do what the commander says, we don't know anything else, but we can't talk nonsense" Cao Daman replied to the rotten egg's question with a consistent honest expression. This trick really worked, and the rotten egg stared at Cao Daman for a while, sitting in the trench stupidly and not knowing what he was thinking. Cao Daman laughed secretly in his heart, this rotten egg clearly wanted to set his own words, but he didn't know if he should inform the chief about this matter, a rat poop would spoil a pot of soup, Cao Daman didn't want the rotten egg to be that rat, if that would definitely kill many brothers.

300 people nested in two trenches is quite spacious, but according to Zhao Zhi's plan, once the first wave of the Japanese army is attacked, the grenadiers in the first trench will retreat to the second trench, and then the trench will be crowded, but Zhao Zhi can't care so much now. Because the scouts hidden in the mountains and forests had already sent back the news by walkie-talkies, the advance of the Japanese pursuit force was only a mile away from the edge of the mountains and forests, and it was believed that it would take half an hour for the Japanese rear to catch up, so the battle of the ambush on the plain that Zhao Zhi was looking forward to would kick off in half an hour. ~ To see the first ad-free, please go to "Green"
