Chapter 128: Turning to Karaka (9)

When the camp was set up at night, the British army officially sent people over to Zhao Zhi's side, and in the middle of the whole battle, the advance battalion and the British army were in contact through walkie-talkies. After rescuing Karaka, it had been a whole day, and by this time the British army had sent a second lieutenant, which made Wallace, who was also a British officer, look ugly. Zhao Zhi was not surprised, it was clear from the day that the British army did not implement the counterattack plan, but only retreated to the trenches after a while, and the entire pursuit and siege were completed by the expeditionary force. What kind of reaction can be expected from such a British army.

"I'm Wallace, the British liaison officer of the Ramgar Command stationed in the advance camp, your position is too low, go and call Commander Phogelin," Wallace looked like a standard officer, and pushed the second lieutenant back. Anyway, Zhao Zhi is a major, and Phogelin only sent a second lieutenant over, which is too unkind to take the advance battalion seriously. Zhao Zhi didn't say anything, just looked at the annoyed Wallace with interest, this guy has been in the advance camp for a long time, and he has learned all the kind of official factions in the national army.

Zhao Zhi, who no longer paid attention to the British army, led people to count the captured Japanese equipment, and the harvest was quite rich, which was enough to make up for the lack of heavy equipment in the advance battalion. 4 intact 92 heavy machine guns, 3 grenadiers, and the light machine gun position rushed forward, which was the place where the old artillery focused on bombardment, and almost no intact light machine guns were found after the war. The rifles of the Japanese army, Zhao Zhi is not rare, but they are all the exploits of the advance battalion. The foreign liaison officers stationed in the advance battalion need to confirm with the British army, and then report to the headquarters to give credit to the soldiers.

It was no secret that the soldiers obtained trophies on the corpses of Japanese soldiers, which was no secret in Zhao Zhi's advance camp, and unlike other expeditionary force units, Zhao Zhi had always cared no about this. As long as the soldiers were not fighting for the spoils of war in private, Zhao Zhi would turn a blind eye and pretend not to see. The soldiers who were replenished by the other units were all newly recruited from the rear, and most of them were young students, who obeyed the orders of their commanders very much and paid great attention to military discipline and appearance. Unlike Zhao Zhi's advance battalion, they are all veterans, these guys are fighting for nothing else, they just want to eat together, and it is understandable to hide some small things privately. Besides, Zhao Zhi, an officer, was already confused, he was a chaotic officer, and after staying with the soldiers for a long time, he became sparse, not to mention the soldiers below.

"Let Huang Mao contact the British army, let them send someone to confirm the results of the battle, and when the Japanese army on the hill can't hold on, report the military merits together, and strive to promote the brothers" Zhao Zhi kicked a Japanese steel helmet on the ground, when it was time to give the brothers benefits, Zhao Zhi never played sloppy.

"Sir, that battalion of the 114th Regiment has gone up the mountain, they are going to storm the Japanese army" The goat returned, and he took the scouts to keep watch over the Japanese troops on the mountain. Zhao Zhi waved his hand, "Regardless of them, there are not many Japanese troops left, it shouldn't be their opponent, let's just rest" Zhao Zhi's people also had casualties, and the dead were all recruits, and the veteran soldiers who were replenished were not dead. The old rule is to bring their ashes back to China, and it is impossible to bring their bodies back to the country.

"Sir, telegram from the headquarters" Yan Shijun stepped into Zhao Zhi's tent and called Zhao Zhi, who was closing his eyes and recuperating. The order of the command was clear, and the advance battalion was mobilized to return to the front line of the Ghost Gate Pass. After Zhao Zhi and the others solved the Japanese squadron at the Guimen Pass, they searched for several days without finding any traces of the Japanese army, and the headquarters determined that there was no Japanese garrison at the Guimen Pass, so they sent the advance battalion to Karaka. However, the engineer regiment stationed in Savage Mountain only succeeded for a few days, and was attacked by a small group of Japanese troops in succession, and the paving of the road had stopped.

The remnant battalion of the 114th Regiment in Guimen Pass sent a scout team into the mountain according to Zhao Zhi's fighting style, but they were all pushed back by the Japanese army. The Japanese army had already built strongholds on several hills, and in the end, the engineer regiment still demanded that the advance battalion be transferred back to the Guimen Pass to garrison. "Damn, isn't this a trick on us?" Uncle Guo was naturally unhappy, and originally thought that he could rest more time in Karaka. The continuous march in the jungle consumed a lot of physical strength, and Uncle Guo wanted to rest in Karaka for a few days, but now it was in vain.

Since you have to retreat to the Ghost Gate Pass, you have to wait until the next day, it is very dangerous to march in the dark, not to mention that there are a lot of heavy weapons of the Japanese army now. The old artilleryman, who was still stationed in the artillery position, learned the news of the evacuation through the walkie-talkie, and he had just obtained four 75 mountain guns, and he couldn't take them with him now. Those mountain guns can't walk the mountain road at all, and even if they are barely carried, they will slow down the march.

"No, tell the old artillery, and those mountain cannons will be left to the 114th Regiment. When there is a chance in the future, Lao Tzu will transfer him to the artillery regiment and let him sleep with the cannon every day" Zhao Zhi smiled angrily, and the old artillery's reaction was also expected by Zhao Zhi. Zhao Zhi agreed to the old artillery's request to get the cannon countless times, but it has always been just grenadiers and mortars, this time it is a genuine mountain artillery, and the old cannon can not be angry.

There are still many things left, Zhao Zhi did not inform the soldiers that they will withdraw to the Ghost Gate Pass tomorrow, let them rest well tonight. Fögelin, who was hanging one arm in a bandage, finally arrived, followed by a large group of British officers, all of whom wanted to see the advance battalion and what kind of expeditionary soldiers had rescued them.

This counter-offensive against the Japanese army achieved unexpected results, not to mention the defeat of the arrogant Japanese army, and the siege of the remnants of the Japanese army on a hill, and the situation in Karaka and the role of both the enemy and the enemy changed radically. The expeditionary force troops that came to the rescue have changed a lot from a year ago, first of all, the automatic firepower has become more, and secondly, the coordination between soldiers and heavy firepower has been greatly improved, but what Fagelin admired the most was the courage of the soldiers of the expeditionary force, and the three battalions dared to carry it with nearly 1,000 Japanese troops. You must know that a year ago, tens of thousands of expeditionary forces were chased and beaten by the Japanese army, but today it has changed, and it is the expeditionary force that is chasing the Japanese army.

Phogelin also wanted to meet the commander of the advance battalion, he admired the rhythm of the advance battalion's attack and the timing of the attack, like this kind of battle where there is a difference in the number of enemies and friends, the slightest carelessness, there is a possibility of being defeated by the enemy, the commander of this advance battalion is bold enough. And Vergelin was curious to know why the Japanese artillery kept bombarding the Japanese positions themselves. With many questions, Foglin came to Zhao Zhi's camp with his injured arm and the staff officers to ask what was going on.

"Advance battalion Zhao Zhi welcomes the arrival of the colonel" Zhao Zhi still looked like a smile, saluting Fogelin, there is no way, who made Vergelin a colonel. Zhao Zhi's youth surprised Phogelin and the other British officers, who did not expect the commander of the advance battalion to be so young.

Vergelin, who wanted to invite Zhao Zhi to Caraka to attend the welcome banquet, saw the dog who was packing up, and asked Zhao Zhi anxiously, "Major, what are you doing here?" After listening to Yan Shijun's translation, Zhao Zhi smiled, took out the order of the headquarters, and handed it to Phogelin, "There is no way, this is the order of the headquarters, we will withdraw to the front line of the Ghost Gate Pass tomorrow." There are still Japanese troops entrenched there, and we are going to exterminate them."

"That's right," said Phogelin, whose face was full of regret, he had already taken an interest in the young major, and had wanted to have a good chat, but the advance battalion was leaving tomorrow. "Is there anything we can do to help you?" Phogelin was very generous, not as arrogant as the other British officers Zhao Zhi met. Yan Shijun whispered a few words in Zhao Zhi's ear, and nodded heavily, as if he was confirming something to Zhao Zhi.

"Mr. Colonel, my subordinates said that on your position, I saw an American-style Bazooka bazooka, can you support us?" Zhao Zhi looked at Phogelin with interest, wanting to see if this British colonel was really generous. Sure enough, as soon as Zhao Zhi mentioned the Bazooka bazooka, the faces of the officers around Vergelin twitched in unison, for fear that Fogelin agreed to Zhao Zhi. Looking at the muttering Vergelin, Zhao Zhi pointed to the captured Japanese heavy weapons, "I don't want your things in vain, I will use these Japanese heavy weapons to exchange with you, these weapons, we were originally going to bring them back to the Ghost Gate." If you can provide us with bazookas, I wouldn't mind exchanging these heavy weapons with you."

"Major, we only have 10 bazookas. Besides, you won't use it, it's better to use your rifle" A silver-haired British officer looked arrogant, obviously looking down on Zhao Zhi's shamelessness and cheekiness. "Who says we won't use it?" Edward and Wallace, looking like riffraffies, came over in a hurry. They had long heard Zhao Zhi say that he wanted to change Bazooka, and others didn't know it, but Edward knew the power of Bazooka. It was a new type of weapon that the U.S. military had only equipped its own troops with last year, and it was a kind of direct-aim firepower that was very effective against tanks, pillboxes and bunkers.

"Okay, but we can only provide your advance battalion with 5 bazookas, and you have to leave all the heavy weapons of the Japanese army" After weighing it again, Vergelin finally relented, Zhao Zhi saw Edward nod lightly, knowing that this transaction did not suffer a loss, so he agreed. Zhao Zhi thought that he would be stationed in Karaka, so he collected these Japanese weapons, and now he is going back to the Ghost Gate, the mountain road is difficult to walk, and Zhao Zhi doesn't want to carry these heavy guys on his back.

It was still Yan Shijun's ghost idea, after entering the trenches of the British army and handing over the walkie-talkie contact band. At first, he didn't know what the cylinder on the shoulders of the British soldier was for, but the American soldier who followed him knew about it, so he told Yan Shijun. As a result, Yan Shijun kept this Bazooka in his heart, and caught up with Vergelin to take the initiative to be generous, and Yan Shijun could let it go, so he instigated Zhao Zhi to ask for the bazooka.

In fact, Zhao Zhi and Edward didn't know that these bazooka in the British army in Karaka were privately seized by the British command from the weapons of the United States to support the expeditionary force, and these equipment should have been distributed to the expeditionary force. Foglin is now holding these weapons that belong to the expeditionary force, and he has been a good old man.
