After receiving Zhao Zhi's telegram, the headquarters sent Wallace with a convoy of trucks to wait early at the edge of the jungle 30 miles west of Myitkyina, which was the meeting point that Zhao Zhi said in the telegram. The battalion directly under it was able to escape from the pursuit of the Japanese army, which the bigwigs did not expect, and the pockmarked face who returned to Myitkyina before also brought back more than 20 Japanese prisoners, and they were only the ones who returned in advance, and there were more than 200 people in the direct battalion and dozens of remaining Japanese prisoners in the mountains and forests behind.

Who to send to pick up the rest of the battalion? Zhao Zhi offended a lot of people, and there were many people who couldn't wait to see Zhao Zhi and them buried in the mountains and forests, and now was the time to storm Myitkyina, and no one was willing to focus on this group of remnants who were about to come out of the mountains and forests at this time. After thinking about it, the bigwigs in the headquarters finally chose the best candidate, Operational Staff Officer Wallace. Although Wallace is an Englishman, he once stayed in the company directly under him, and his relationship with Zhao Zhi has always been good, and I heard that Wallace has some small moves with Zhao Zhi in private, so it should be better to send him.

Wallace paced back and forth on the side of the truck with his hands behind his back, and it had been 2 hours since he arrived at the meeting point, and Zhao Zhi and they had not yet appeared, and Wallace was a little impatient. He was not in a hurry to go back to recover his life, but he was really worried about Zhao Zhi and them, there were thousands of Japanese-Burmese mixed troops chasing Zhao Zhi in the mountains and forests, and it was almost impossible to come back with all the beards and tails, of course Wallace didn't want to see Zhao Zhi being carried out of the mountains and forests.

"Here they are" A driver pointed ahead, and several soldiers wearing American steel helmets had already appeared on the gentle slope at the edge of the mountain forest, they just flashed in Wallace's sight, and then disappeared without a trace, Wallace knew that this was Zhao Zhi's scout, and he was also the most elite soldier in the battalion. Just as Wallace was looking around for the scouts with his binoculars in hand, a group of soldiers wrapped in thatch and twigs suddenly burst out of the grass on the side of the convoy, their guns covered with black-brown blood, and the disgusting smell of blood.

The group of soldiers directly ignored the dissatisfaction of the American soldiers escorting the car, but after inspecting all the trucks, the leader took something out of his arms and stuffed it into his mouth and blew it vigorously. Wallace knew that it was Zhao Zhi's usual contact method in the mountains and forests---- bamboo whistle, and sure enough, after the bamboo whistle sounded here, the scouts who disappeared at the edge of the mountain forest appeared in Wallace's sight again, and this time there was a large group of soldiers coming out of the mountains and forests, some of them were leading mules and horses, some were supporting their companions, and some were tightly guarding the two stretchers.

Wallace's heart suddenly lifted, he didn't find Zhao Zhi in his telescope, he looked back and forth twice, and waited for no longer anyone from the direct battalion in the mountains and forests to come out, Wallace still didn't find Zhao Zhi in the telescope. Could it be, could it be that Wallace stared at the two stretchers with a telescope, his hands had begun to tremble a little, he was afraid that he would guess the answer, he was afraid that one of the two stretchers belonged to Zhao Zhi. Wallace subconsciously turned his head to look at a soldier from a direct battalion who was standing beside him, but that person was not a face he knew, and there was no expression on this person's face at all, Wallace was a little afraid to ask.

"Hey, are you here to pick me up, why are you still standing there stupidly? Come and help me" Just when Wallace was a little distracted, a teasing voice drilled into his ears, God, Wallace's eyes widened and he looked in the direction from which the voice came. Isn't it Zhao Zhi, it's that nasty guy, Zhao Zhi, who had already sat up on the stretcher, was grinning at Wallace, and on both sides of the stretcher stood Yuan Qingqing and Linda, who were haggard faces.

"Zhao, you're finally back" Wallace rushed up in a few steps and gave Zhao Zhi a bear hug enthusiastically, but the strength was a little less, because he could see that Zhao Zhi's face was not very good, and there was still a little pale in the sallow, it seemed that he was injured again. After hugging Zhao Zhi, Wallace was even more sure of his thoughts, and Zhao Zhi's body had a smell of herbs and blood. "Zhao, are you hurt? Shall I take you to the hospital? Wallace still cared about Zhao Zhi as always, obviously it wasn't because of the gold that Zhao Zhi gave him.

"I can't die yet, besides, Lang Zhong has already drugged me, I just need to rest and recuperate for a while" Zhao Zhi unbuttoned his military shirt a little weakly, and what entered Wallace's eyes was the thick bloodstained bandage on Zhao Zhi's body. "I was just hit by a bullet and hurt a rib" Zhao Zhi had to get dressed in Linda's reproachful eyes, he is now a wounded and needs to listen to Linda, the doctor.

"Don't believe him, he was shot in the left shoulder and right waist, but fortunately he didn't hurt the bone, and the rib was broken by the shelling. When it rained a few days ago, the wound was a little suppurated, if it weren't for Langzhong's herbs, he might not have been able to come back, and he didn't have half a year to shoot again, unless he didn't want that rib" Linda recounted Zhao Zhi's injury quickly, and reached out to pinch Zhao Zhi's ear.

Wallace looked at the small movements between Zhao Zhi and Linda, and smiled helplessly, just took out a piece of paper from his pocket and unfolded it to read to Zhao Zhi, "This is the order given to you by the headquarters, in view of the heavy casualties of your direct battalion this time, the headquarters decided to cancel your battalion-level establishment and change it to a company, and the personnel is tentatively set at 150." And while you are recuperating from your injuries, I will not send you to attack again, and the supply of troops to replenish you will arrive later, and the headquarters has already divided the camp for you, and someone will come to take you over to receive the barracks later" Wallace's words were a bit official, and Zhao Zhi and the officers could already hear that Wallace was trying his best to keep a distance from his direct company.

"Isn't it just good food and drink to feed us? I can't ask for it, master, I've long wanted to rest" The dog carrying the stretcher was not happy to be the first one, not to mention the Japanese prisoners who were sent up, and with the achievements of the direct battalion in the mountains and forests these days, it should not be reduced, so can the company and the battalion be compared? What the dog said was not angry, these days the battalion has been being entangled by the Japanese army in the mountains and forests, and many people are struggling to support, if it weren't for Zhao Zhi's timely order to return to Myitkyina, I'm afraid everyone would have been unable to hold on and collapse in the mountains and forests.

Wallace was a little embarrassed, but this time it was obviously the command that gave him a drudgery, and no one wanted to come to the direct battalion to announce the order, especially after the pockmarked face returned to Myitkyina with 30 Japanese prisoners, the achievements of the direct battalion these days have been talked about by everyone. A small force, which could only exert no more than one-third of its combat strength, fought in the mountains and forests for more than a month with thousands of Japanese-Burmese mixed troops, not only capturing more than 60 Japanese prisoners, but also annihilating thousands of Japanese-Burmese mixed pursuers who came to pursue. Such a record is nothing in the overall record of the expeditionary force, but if it is placed on any battalion and company-level troops, it is different.

For the reduction of such a force, anyone knows that the bigwigs of the headquarters are cleaning up the battalion directly under them, or they are going to attack Zhao Zhi, the commander of the battalion directly under him, after all, Zhao Zhi used to be soft and hard, and he has always pretended to turn a blind eye to the olive branches extended by the bigwigs of various factions. Now that someone wants to rectify Zhao Zhi, naturally there are not many people who fall into the well, but there are still many neutral guys like Wallace, they are not on the side of the side, but they are not optimistic about the direction of the wind. After all, Zhao Zhi had encountered more troublesome things than this before, and he didn't fall to the ground, so they still need to wait and see if the headquarters wants to completely abandon Zhao Zhi and his direct battalion this time.

"You shut up Lao Tzu, and if you dare to bare your teeth again, Lao Tzu will hand you over to the cook to cook on the fire" Zhao Zhi stabbed the dog's buttocks with a wooden stick on the stretcher, but in the eyes of others, this didn't look like Zhao Zhi was angry at all, but like a brother at home teaching or admonishing the junior. After being "taught" by Zhao Zhi with a wooden stick, the dog gritted his teeth and endured it, but took the opportunity to turn his head and glared at Wallace fiercely, only to be twisted by Yuan Qingqing's ears before he gave up, the dog is not afraid of Zhao Zhi, he is afraid of Yuan Qingqing and Linda, who calls the eldest sister-in-law like a mother.

"Children's, don't take it seriously" Zhao Zhi smiled apologetically at Wallace, and then reached out and began to rummage through Wallace's pocket, until he found half a pack of cigarettes from Wallace's pocket, and then let Wallace go. "The brothers have long since stopped smoking, and the last half pack of cigarettes was soaked and moldy when it rained, and even Edward smoked leaves for two days" Zhao Zhi was busy lighting a cigarette for himself, and at the same time handed the remaining cigarettes to Linda, asking her to send them to Uncle Guo and them a few large smoking guns.

"Take out all the cigarettes on your bodies" Wallace turned around like the American soldiers escorting the car stretched out their hands, other things couldn't help Zhao Zhi, but it was still possible to get a few packs of cigarettes. After a lot of effort, Wallace walked back with a few packs of cigarettes, enough for Zhao Zhi and each of them to smoke a few cigarettes. "Okay, you can go back quickly, just find someone to take us to the camp, but your brother has to help us urge us to get supplies when we go back, you have also seen it, we are short of ammunition, food, medicine and new military uniforms" Zhao Zhi held a cigarette in his mouth, sat on a stretcher and counted the things that the direct battalion lacked at present.

In fact, the rich man originally had a lot of things, just ammunition was enough for Zhao Zhi and the others to fight with the Japanese army again, and there were even more food, medicines and the like, but Zhao Zhi packed these things and shipped them back to Kunming with the batch of jade gold, so Zhao Zhi and they really lacked everything now. Wallace looked at Zhao Zhi with a smile, this guy had just gotten out of danger, and he was busy asking for this and that, and he was really a guy who didn't want to suffer at all.

"Isn't there a bit too much we want, will the above not give it or be suspicious" After waving goodbye to Wallace, the somewhat worried rich man leaned over to Zhao Zhi and asked in a low voice. These things that Zhao Zhi wants are not distributed by company-level troops, some things are already battalion-level configurations, just walkie-talkies, Zhao Zhi asked for four in one go, plus the existing walkie-talkies in Zhao Zhi's hands, the number of walkie-talkies in the direct company has exceeded 10, if this is placed in other troops, it is a battalion-level configuration.

"Whatever, let's go to the receiving camp" sent Wallace away, Zhao Zhi took his remaining hundred and ten people on the several trucks brought by Wallace, and those reinforcements went to Mazi Face, it seems that they will not come back, no need to worry about those guys, so Zhao Zhi also feels much more relaxed. The things that the rich man had saved were not to be lost, and he was loaded into a truck, and the mules and horses that he brought out of the mountains and forests were handed over to the heavy goats and led the people to follow behind the trucks.

"Hey, look, isn't this the famous dog company? Didn't you hear about the promotion? Why are there only these few people left, aren't they being taught a hard lesson by the Japanese? An arrogant voice sounded on the side of the road, and several guys in the uniforms of the expeditionary force stood in the middle of the road with wine bottles to stop the convoy, laughing and looking at the convoy of the company directly under them.

Zhao Zhi, who was sitting on the wall of the carriage, just frowned and knocked on the carriage with the butt of his gun, "Keep walking, don't pay attention to them, if they have the ability, they will fight, instead of just standing on the side of the road and humming, at first glance, they are guys who have no guts" Zhao Zhi's words made the guys in the carriage laugh more than once, and Zhao Zhi's voice was not small, and the guys on the side of the road also heard it. Several fellows faced each other, they really didn't have the courage to lift the tarpaulin of the carriage and scold, but the wine was so bold that they shifted their gaze to the goats riding mules and horses.

The "brush" machete pulled out the long knife on the back, and the bright blade made people seep into the eye, and almost all of the people who followed the goats and machetes in charge of mules and horses were scouts in the direct company, and these guys were all carrying a long knife on their backs. Seeing that the machete was still drawn, those scouts were not to be outdone, and they took out their knives one after another and aimed them at these guys who came to find trouble. When the goats were choosing scouts, they were supposed to be those who were agile and physically strong, and they were riding on mules and horses at this time, which suddenly gave people a kind of power.

Zhao Zhi's people were all veterans who survived several fierce battles with the Japanese army, and as soon as the knife came out of the sheath, it had a strong murderous aura, coupled with the power of leaning down from the back of the mule and horse, the soldiers and ruffians just retreated again and again, and they didn't dare to look at the machete, so they ran wildly and disappeared. "Hahaha, they're all gutsless guys" The scouts laughed at the backs of the ruffians after putting away their knives. There are not many people in the direct company now, but it's not just a guy who can point fingers, especially those who don't have the courage to think about it. ~
