Lying on the damp rotten leaves, Zhao Zhi raised his hand and gestured to his uncle on his right, asking him to disperse with the riflemen. There was already the sound of a rope in the grass on the opposite side, and it seemed that there were only two or three people. Zhao Zhi quietly took out his crossbow and stared with bated breath at the place where the grass on the opposite side was moving, waiting for the appearance of the Japanese army.

Zhao Zhi did not expect Zhang Tianxiang's energy to be huge, and the day after Zhang Tianxiang looked for Zhao Zhi, a major under him sent Zhao Zhi an order from the headquarters, asking Zhao Zhi and his men to assist the 114th Regiment in clearing the Japanese troops in the mountains of Ledo during the temporary stationing of Leduo to ensure the smooth progress of the road paving of the Engineer Regiment. However, it was also said in the order that during Zhao Zhi's assistance to the 114th Regiment, all the needs were provided by the 114th Regiment, and it was not perfunctory for various reasons.

However, the things Zhang Tianxiang gave were really good, and the weapons and equipment brought by the major sent by Zhang Tianxiang opened Zhao Zhi's eyes: a whole box of American-made grenades, Thomson submachine guns and Garand rifles that had not yet been unboxed, boxes of bullets, a large number of American-made uniforms and equipment, and a few flamethrowers that had just been equipped with the expeditionary force. It seems that this Zhang Tianxiang has made a lot of money, not only that, Zhang Tianxiang also gave Zhao Zhi a company of supplementary soldiers, all of which are elites selected by the so-called 114th Regiment.

The conditions offered by Zhang Tianxiang were so generous, and the supplementary soldiers sent were all elite, Zhao Zhi was very satisfied. Since he was already in the list and wiped out the remnants of the Japanese army, Zhao Zhi never thought of staying out of the matter. Now Zhang Tianxiang's attitude has been very clear, to provide Zhao Zhihui with the best weapons and equipment and soldiers, as long as Zhao Zhi can sweep away the Japanese troops near Liduo as soon as possible, it is estimated that Zhao Zhi wants anything, Zhang Tianxiang will agree.

Zhao Zhi just mixed the soldiers who came in with the doglegs, and after seeing the power of the American-style flamethrower, Zhao Zhi already had a general way to defeat the Japanese army entrenched in the dangerous terrain of the mountains and forests. Two pontoon bridges had been erected on the river outside Leduo Town, and Zhao Zhi and the others went out of Leduo smoothly, entered the mountains and forests, and marched towards the hill determined by the 114th Regiment.

After searching 2 hills in a row, no Japanese troops were found, which made the leader of the 114th Regiment scout team with him a great shame. Although this mountain forest is not as dark as in the savage mountains, it is also wet and hot, and from time to time there will be poisonous insects such as snakes and pythons, which makes the elite men who have just entered the jungle complain again and again. The leader of the 114th regiment scout team is called Tang Qingying, who was originally a mountain man in Hunan, and often boasted that he was walking on the mountain as if he were walking on the ground. But now seeing the agile figure and tacit cooperation of Zhao Zhi and the doglegs in the jungle, Tang Qingying didn't dare to underestimate these guys anymore, and he was much more polite when he talked to Zhao Zhi.

At noon, the old artillery calculated several hills that might have Japanese troops based on the Japanese shelling point and ballistics. Originally, the British had a map of the distribution of these batteries, but when the damned British retreated, they all burned in a fire, and not even a copy was left. Among the British troops who were intercepted back, they did not find the guy who managed the logistics, and it is said that they were in a panic when they retreated, and they drove into the swamp with people and cars.

It's been almost an hour since the machete went out to search, and there is still no news, and the old cannon who couldn't bear it tried to use the walkie-talkie to contact the machete several times, but Zhao Zhi stopped him. In case the machetes were lurking around the Japanese troops to observe, wouldn't they be exposed as soon as the walkie-talkie sounded? Time passed minute by minute, and everyone was waiting for the fire to burn, and their hearts were as impatient as a cat scratch. But Zhao Zhi and Uncle Guo still picked wild vegetables in their bags in a hurry, saying that they would cook soup and drink it when they camped at night.

The old cannon squeezed the dog's eyes and asked the dog to ask Zhao Zhi if he wanted to call a machete, but the dog didn't dare to go, so he simply held his gun and lay in the grass nest with his eyes closed and pretended to sleep. The sound of machetes finally came from the walkie-talkie, and they had already touched a three-person patrol of Japanese troops on the hill in front of them, and also found a battery hidden on the opposite hill. The doglegs, who had nothing to do just now, stepped forward one after another, urging the elites to move forward so that they could meet the machetes as soon as possible.

The grass was pushed away, and Zhao Zhi was about to detain the crossbow machine, but found that what came out of the grass was a machete, and the machete beckoned to Zhao Zhi and motioned Zhao Zhi to go over. Passing through a patch of grass, Zhao Zhi followed the machete to the back of a dirt bun. The terrain here is good, at least here you can see the barrels of the guns sticking out of the turrets and pointing up to the sky. Zhao Zhi took the dog's sniper rifle and quietly stretched out from the grass next to the earthen bun, observing the environment around the fort on the opposite hill.

The fort was built on the opposite hill and occupied the highest point of that mountain, and in this kind of terrain, it was certainly not possible to fight hard. This is related to the lives of Zhao Zhi's brothers, and he must not be careless, Zhao Zhi carefully observed. Zhao Zhi's movements in moving the rifle were very light and careful, he had to be careful, once he was discovered by the Japanese army, it would be useless. It is better to say that it was discovered by the Japanese army, but if it was bombarded by the Japanese artillery again, Zhao Zhi did not dare to guarantee that those elites would not collapse.

Zhao Zhi searched carefully through the sniper scope on the opposite side, it didn't matter if he didn't look at it, Zhao Zhi was startled at a glance. On the opposite ridge from the middle of the mountain upwards, Japanese troops were found, and at least one squadron of Dog Day was found. Under the cover of grass and shrubs, these Japanese soldiers were busy building fortifications with trees and digging deep trenches, presumably trying to hold on to them. Zhao Zhi estimated that these guys were shocked by the crazy scouts of the 114th Regiment in the past few days, and they all retreated back to the mountain. These guys seem to want to fight the expeditionary force, and they plan to defend the fort to the death.

How to fight has now become Zhao Zhi's biggest headache. The terrain on the opposite side does not allow for an attack in formation, but if you go for a sneak attack, it won't matter if there are fewer people. The old cannon slapped his thigh, very frustrated, "Damn, if Lao Tzu has a cannon, he will bury all these dog days here" Yes, cannon, didn't the 114th regiment also have cannons when they came, I heard that it is still an American cannon, all of which are large-caliber, just take the turret and try it.

When Stilwell set up a training base in Lambgarh, he brought a large number of American officers from the United States to serve as instructors, and he came to Lamgar with a batch of large-caliber artillery. According to Stilwell's training plan, the New First Army and the New Sixth Army each set up a howitzer battalion, equipped with 12 105-caliber howitzers. The 38th Division is the backbone division of the New First Army, and the 114th Regiment is the elite regiment of the 38th Division, so when the 114th Regiment marched into Ledo from Ramga, it brought 4 howitzers of 105 caliber.

Due to the lack of clarity about the specific parameters of the batteries occupied by the Japanese, the 4 howitzers of the 114th Regiment were always hidden in the fortifications outside the town of Ledo, where they were useless. Lao Cannon's complaint reminded Zhao Zhi of these 4 treasures, and he couldn't help but be happy. First use artillery to observe the parameters, and then use howitzers to bombard the opposite hill, taking advantage of the chaos of the Japanese army, Zhao Zhi led people to quickly storm the mountain, which will cause fewer casualties.

Sure enough, Zhao Zhi used a walkie-talkie to contact Zhang Tianxiang, who was camping by the Ledo River, and as soon as he proposed this plan, Zhang Tianxiang immediately agreed. The gunners were quickly sent, along with Edward, a serious artilleryman, much stronger than the old gunner, a half-known guy. The howitzers of the dog day are different, the ground shook the mountain when it hit the mountain, and Zhao Zhi, who was lying on the mountain, was shocked by the fact that their heads were wooden, and their heads were buzzing.

The artillery of the 114th Regiment was very accurate, the coordinates provided by Edward were bombarded, and the hills, especially the batteries, were almost drowned in stumps and broken arms and blood, and there were screaming Japanese troops everywhere. Beating the water dogs is the consistent purpose of the dogs, and after hearing Edward say on the walkie-talkie that the shelling had stopped, Zhao Zhi rushed up the mountain with nearly 200 people. Halfway up the mountain, it had already been scorched by howitzers, and there were large craters and smoking trees everywhere.

"Don't live your mouth, don't live your mouth" The old cannon shouted loudly to the elites who turned over the corpses of the Japanese soldiers, and the veterans had all suffered the losses of being attacked by the wounded soldiers of the Japanese army disguised as corpses. Sure enough, several elites who did not listen to the advice were held by the wounded Japanese soldiers and pulled grenades, and flesh and blue-gray organs were scattered all over the ground. The old cannon shook the pieces of meat stuck to the steel helmet, pointed at the elites and scolded, "Are you all fucking pigs, you can't understand people's words, if you want to die, die far away, don't bother the old men, it's really fucking unlucky"

The elites who had been scolded by the old artillery learned to be like dogs, and they replenished their guns to all the Japanese soldiers, and no one joked with their lives anymore. Two hours later, Zhao Zhiquan annihilated the Japanese troops on the mountain and recaptured the fort. The fort built by the British was even strong, and under the bombardment of howitzers, there was nothing at all, but the Japanese troops hiding in the fort were all shocked to death, but they saved bullets for Zhao Zhi.

After calling Tang Qingying of the 114th Regiment Scout Team, Zhao Zhi asked him to inform Zhang Tianxiang to send someone to garrison this fort, at least it can cover several surrounding hills, and provide some artillery support for Zhao Zhi, Zhao Zhi does not want to give up such good fire support. This battery is less than 5 miles away from Ledo, and the 114th Regiment should have no problem defending it.
