Chapter 168: Kane's Mind
"Zhao, my friend, I finally see you again" As soon as he saw Zhao Zhi, Captain Kane, who was stationed in the US Engineer Company in the valley camp, gave Zhao Zhi a sturdy bear hug. Uchitani was attacked very fiercely by the squadron under the tree, and it was not enough to rely on the beard alone, and in the end, it was Kane who led the American sappers to the defense line, so that he could support the arrival of the old artillery.
When the old artillery was exhausted, Kane didn't think about going over to support the old artillery, but Uchitaniguchi was still within the firing range of the Japanese army, and he couldn't get out at all for a while. Fortunately, Uncle Guo and they arrived in time, not only rescued the old artillery, but also annihilated all the Japanese troops who attacked the valley.
"Kane, are you okay?" Zhao Zhi still had a smile on his face, mainly because the gauze wrapped around Kane's head was too weird. I don't know whose masterpiece it is, Kane's head is tied with gauze in the shape of a bow, Zhao Zhiyan can not laugh. Fortunately, Kane was busy greeting the doglegs and didn't notice the smile in everyone's eyes.
The U.S. sapper company also suffered heavy casualties, one-third of them were killed in battle, and there were many wounded. Fortunately, the engineer company guarded a large number of supplies and medicines, and Kane did not lose his own people, and opened the warehouse for storing medicines early. The wounded soldiers on his side were the best medicine to use, and even then Kane still lost a third of his men.
"Zhao, what do you need? Although it is said, there are some in the warehouse, you can pick and choose at will" Kane led Zhao Zhi to send someone to rescue this favor, and took the materials to make friends with Zhao Zhi. Edward and Wallace were originally assigned to Zhao Zhi's advance battalion because they offended senior officials in the headquarters, but they didn't expect that in just a few months, Wallace first got the Japanese army's code book and was promoted back to the headquarters. Then Edward also had a lot of successes, and I heard that the command had the intention to transfer Edward back to Lambgar as well.
The Kane family is also a military family, but his ancestors have never produced any high-ranking officers, and the highest is just a sergeant. In the end, only Kane, an engineer officer who is not valued by the family, is still relatively high, but he is only a captain. As the saying goes, a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, and Kane also dreams of becoming a general one day. Although the dream is far away, it does not delay him from fantasizing in private.
Although Zhao Zhi's men were rude to Kane, they were really capable of fighting. When marching in the jungle, Kane privately observed Zhao Zhi and his men, not to mention the officers, even the ordinary soldiers in the advance battalion behaved very unusually.
Kane once mentally compared the advance battalion with the American mountain troops he knew, and the conclusion he came to surprised Kane himself. With the same supply and environment, Zhao Zhi was able to withstand at least 2 mountain battalions of the U.S. army with his advance battalion.
The soldiers of the advance battalion have far more knowledge of the jungle than the mountain troops of the US army, and if the US troops are put into the jungle of Burma, they will never be as easy as the advance battalion, and they will never get out of the jungle unscathed. Kane's idea was confirmed in the ensuing battle on the plain, when Zhao Zhi withstood several successive attacks of the Japanese army with a small force of more than 300 people, and was able to defeat the Japanese army and kill most of the Japanese army.
In Kane's heart, his fate had been tied to Zhao Zhi until Zhao Zhi was transferred back to Leduo to cultivate. Kane knew that Zhao Zhi was transferred back to Ledo because someone had done it, and he was not happy that he had become the commander of the valley camp. Because he knew that with only a few hundred reinforcements and his own engineering company, he could not guarantee the safety of the camp.
Facts proved that Kane's concerns were right, as soon as Zhao Zhi left the valley camp, Zhao Dahai of the reconnaissance company hurriedly took the command of the supplementary troops. The arrangements and arrangements made by Zhao Zhi when he left were all abandoned by Zhao Dahai, who was stubborn and self-serving, and some of the soldiers with excellent performance in the supplementary army were pushed to Kane by Zhao Dahai. Even such an important place as the canyon was lost because of Zhao Xiaochuan's carelessness, and Zhao Dahai was also seriously injured because of this.
With the siege of the Japanese army, Kane, as the supreme commander of the camp, used all his skills, fortunately, there were fortifications built by Zhao Zhi at that time on the top of the hill outside the valley, otherwise the valley camp would have been broken by the Japanese army. When he was completely surrounded by the Japanese in the valley, Kane's men once persuaded Kane to surrender to the Japanese army.
To be honest, Kane thought about surrendering to the Japanese army, but thinking of the honor of his family, Kane still endured it. During the days of sticking to Taniguchi, Kane felt as if he had suddenly aged ten years old, and he could only sleep 2 or 3 hours a day, and even the iron man couldn't stand it. Until Kane received a telegram from the headquarters, reinforcements came, and it was Zhao Zhi who came.
The moment he finished reading the telegram, Kane suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and Zhao Zhi was good when he came. What happened next made Kane feel like he was in a dream, and a large group of Japanese troops was routed like this, it was as simple as that. Although Kane is a sapper, he knows the infantry very well and is also familiar with Zhao Zhi's battle routines. The routine of defeating the Japanese army this time is inseparable from Zhao Zhi at first glance.
First, he used the prisoners to clear out the lurking Japanese snipers, and while the attention of the Japanese army was attracted to the hillside, he rushed to attack the Japanese artillery position, used Taniguchi to plant explosives, and detonated explosives when the Japanese army was most excited to break through Taniguchi. Zhao Zhi's combat guys have always been imaginative, using short-distance attacks to disrupt the deployment of the Japanese army, taking the opportunity to seize the heavy equipment of the Japanese army, and providing conditions for the defeat of the Japanese army, these are all tricks that Kane Er is very familiar with.
Kane himself knows these tricks, but he can't be as handy as Zhao Zhi, this is the gap between himself and Zhao Zhi. So as soon as Kane saw Zhao Zhi enter the valley camp, he couldn't wait to take the inventory materials to do favors. In his opinion, whether his official rank can continue to rise, a big key lies in Zhao Zhi, he wants to firmly tie himself to the carriage of his direct company.
Zhao Zhi was very unaccustomed to Kane's enthusiasm, what idea Kane played, Uncle Guo and their veterans know very well, since Zhao Zhi doesn't break it, everyone pretends not to know. "Then let's replenish some ammunition and military uniforms, the jungle is full of damp places, and the brothers have long been rancid" Zhao Zhi grabbed the steamed bun and sniffed the smell of sweat on Kane's body.
Feeding has always been the most troublesome thing for Zhao Zhi, since Zhao Zhi crossed the jungle with his doglegs, they have been living in a fixed place, and they have never been stationed in one place for a long time. Moreover, Zhao Zhi has always relied on the US military for supplies, even if they have hoarded supplies, once they receive the order to pull out, they will not be obediently discarded.
Right now, this Kane can make good use of it, and Zhao Zhi, who is thinking about it, gave Uncle Guo a look at them, and motioned for them to take Kane's men aside first, leaving room for himself and Kane to talk. This kind of tacit trick has long been practiced between Zhao Zhi and Dog's Legs. Uncle Guo squeezed his eyes, and everyone rushed up together, using the gadgets captured by the Japanese army in his satchel, and successfully transferred Kane's men away.
"Kane, shall we make a deal?" Zhao Zhi handed Kane a cigarette, and his cigar had already run out. Smiling at the puzzled Kane, Zhao Zhi lit a cigarette for Kane and motioned for Edward to tell the content of the deal. Unlike other foreign officers, Zhao Zhi was very relieved of Edward, but he joked that it was a friendship that had passed through the jungle and shared gold.
"Our direct company does not report its combat merits this time, and all the combat merits are divided equally between your engineer company and the infantry battalion of the 112th Regiment" Edward said calmly, Kane did not sound calm. This was a brigade that defeated the Japanese army, not three or two kittens, not to mention, the materials hoarded in the valley camp were safe and sound. Even if he shared the battle merits equally with the infantry battalion, it would be enough to raise Kane's rank to the next level.
"NO, NO, NO," KANE SAID, SHAKING HIS HEAD AND SAYING THREE NO'S IN A ROW, "IT'S NOT FAIR TO YOU, I KNOW I'M HUNGRY FOR VICTORY." But this makes me feel very ashamed, I can't rob you of your achievements, it's very unfair to you" Kane finally overcame the desire in his heart, and still rejected Zhao Zhi's proposal very observantly.
"Kane, listen to me" Zhao Zhi smiled and pulled Kane, who shook his head, "Look, we're friends, right?" There are only more than 100 people in our direct company, and if such a great battle exploit is reported, do you think it will fall on the head of our direct company? Zhao Zhi said as he turned his gaze to Ye Tian who was standing in the distance, and led Kane himself to look at Ye Tian.
"God, Zhao, are you talking about him? Could it be that another Zhao Dahai is coming" Kane, under the hints of Zhao Zhi and Edward, finally figured it out without a teacher. The foundation of the direct company is still shallow, and it is indeed no match for those veteran officers in the expeditionary force. Mu Xiu is in the truth that Lin Feng must destroy it, and Kane also understands a little, so Kane will no longer refuse and resist Zhao Zhi's military exploits.
"Zhao, what do you need me to do?" Kane, who got the benefits, patted his chest even more generously and made a promise to Zhao Zhi. Although Kane didn't know why Zhao Zhi did this, in his opinion, Zhao Zhi would not be harming him. In order to maintain his friendship with Zhao Zhi, Kane hated to take off his head and give it to Zhao Zhi.
"You've helped us enough" Zhao Zhi, who wanted to refuse Kane, saw Edward give him a hard look, so he changed his tone, "Okay, in return, you owe me a promise, when I need help, I will look for you" Although Zhao Zhi didn't say anything clearly, it was enough to show that Zhao Zhi accepted the olive branch handed by Kane, which made Kane happy. /AUT
