Before the sun set, Ma Jiang led the team to a small river, a tributary of the Tanai River, from where Zhao Zhi and his team were to go east, cross the Maili Kai River, bypass Sun Brabang, and go to Mauradan.

The old cannon held the gun, lay in the grass nest, held an artemisia grass in his mouth, and looked at the two busy Japanese soldiers boredly. He was sent by Zhao Zhi to guard the periphery with his uncle. "Are these two deflated calves still devil soldiers? Why is it different from the ones we caught before? "The old cannon touched Uncle Guo with his foot, trying to solve his doubts." Didn't you listen to Xiucai on a dog's day, they are just maintenance soldiers, not the kind of devils who fight with guns" Uncle Guo leisurely wiped his sniper rifle.

"Damn, a devil who doesn't hold a gun isn't a devil? Isn't the little white face stupid, put two devils in the team" The old cannon replied disdainfully to Uncle Guo.

"If you don't let them follow, you're going to fix the car in a dog's day? Aren't you also riding that bike? ”

"Don't say it, it's good to ride the bicycle, and when the battle is over, Lao Tzu will ride the bicycle home" Lao Pao looked up at the sunset, his heart full of longing.

"Call you stupid, you still don't admit it. When the battle is over, what kind of bicycle are you riding, Lao Tzu rode that three-wheeled motorcycle home, that thing is fast" Uncle Ma assembled the sniper rifle, smoked a cigarette, and lay in the grass nest. As we get closer and closer to home, everyone is full of anticipation, and everyone is looking forward to the joy of going home.

The rich man with sufficient supplies did not treat everyone badly, anyway, after crossing the river, the cart was not good, and the materials on the cart were still consumed early. Dinner was sumptuous, with a large pot of rice, a canned stew of wild vegetables and mushrooms, and a fish soup stewed with small fish caught in the river. The two Japanese soldiers ate very happily, and Zhao Zhi also made an exception and gave them a small half bottle of captured Japanese sake to express his encouragement for their work.

The two Japanese soldiers were treated like this, and they were just small soldiers in the Japanese army. Every day, it's just rice ball soup, and after eating such a hearty meal there, there is still wine to drink. The two muttered quietly, came to Zhao Zhi with wine, and expressed their willingness to follow Zhao Zhi in the future, they were unwilling to fight, but only asked Zhao Zhi to send them back to Japan after the war was over.

Zhao Zhi was in a good mood by this good news, and immediately ordered his uncle to give each of the two Japanese soldiers a name. Uncle Guo tugged at his sparse beard and thought about it for a long time, and finally held back two names: Maeda is called Zhao Shuitian, and Inoue is called Zhao Shuijing. Everyone finally sprayed rice collectively, and after a long time, these two Japanese soldiers were from the water generation. Maeda and Inoue don't care about that, anyway, they have a new name, at least these Chinese soldiers have temporarily accepted themselves, and this little life has been saved. Uncle Kuni, who finished naming him, was not finished, and continued to give nicknames: Maeda is called Wrench, and Inoue is called Screw. In this way, the doglegs' own maintenance team was formed, and for the time being, there were only two people, a captain and a vice captain.

After drinking the wrench and screws of alcohol, they danced a Japanese dance through the bonfire. The hot-eyed old cannon simply took his female gunners to twist the Northeast Yangge, and the camp was lively for a while.

The next few days were peaceful, and there was no news of the Japanese army. Xiucai asked about wrenches and screws, and the Japanese army did station a wing of strength in Sunbrabeng. However, the distribution was very scattered, and the various units relied on radio communication and trucks and bicycles, and those Japanese troops were very mobile. Once one of the units is discovered, other Japanese troops will surround them, biting and not letting go until they are torn and broken.

Zhao Zhi has not let his guard down, and has kept the scouts far away for several days. The goat took the scout, and also put the focus of the vigilance in the direction of Sun Brabang. No trace of the Japanese army was found for several days in a row, and the doglegs, who were carried away by several successive victories, gradually relaxed their vigilance. As everyone knows, the Japanese troops coming from Sawan have formed an encirclement with the Japanese troops of Sun Brabang, and the Japanese army is ready to annihilate them all in the Hugang Valley.

The Japanese squadron stationed at Magao had lost contact a few days earlier, and a Japanese pursuit force from Mandim had arrived at Magao without finding any Japanese troops. According to the local Burmese population, a small expeditionary force had passed here a few days earlier, and the Japanese army who had followed the trail had spotted Takahashi's squadron in the Zombie Wilderness. It was determined that the goal of the expeditionary force was to climb Mount Gaoligon. Therefore, the Japanese army surrounded the Hugang Valley, preparing to block Zhao Zhi and them here and annihilate them completely.

Hatoyama, one of the few experts in mountain warfare on the Burmese front, was ordered to lead a large group of Japanese troops from Sawan to Sunbrabung, targeting a group of fleeing expeditionary forces. Hatoyama was a military family, and most of the family members were soldiers and samurai, and the glory of the family made him attach great importance to his appearance. Even in the wilderness, Hatoyama tried his best to maintain the appearance of an officer.

The guard held the mirror carefully, and Hatoyama was shaving, something he had to do every morning. Staff Officer Shaozo Xiaoben took a telegram and walked quickly into the tent of Hatoyama, "Your Excellency Dazuo, the scouts have found a campsite by the river 20 miles ahead."

"How many troops"

"There are about 300 people, there are too many secret sentinels, and the scouts can't get too close"

Hatoyama looked at his watch and instructed Xiao Ben, "Order the troops to rest early, set off at 4 o'clock in the morning, and surround them" Xiao Ben asked cautiously, "Your Excellency Osa, do you need to send a telegram to Ma Gao's troops to block the back road?" "No need, it's just 300 people, we are a large number of troops" Hatoyama looked at Xiao Ben coldly, this staff officer has too many words, Hatoyama has always disliked and trusted him.

"Yes, Your Excellency," Ben slowly exited Hatoyama's tent, his back already wet with cold sweat. "Whew" out of the tent Ben took off his hat and let out a long breath. This Hatoyama is really terrible, every time he is stared at by those cold and hotless eyes, Xiao Ben has a feeling of being crawled on by a poisonous snake, it is really terrible.

Maotou woke up at dawn, he woke up with a stomachache, and he ate too much last night. Out of the camp to the west was a bush, and Maotou squatted here, solving the problem of stomach pain. Mao Tou, who was fighting with his stomach, suddenly heard the sound of the grass behind him, damn, it won't be a wild boar again. Maotou pouted his ass and slowly changed places, carefully looking at the place where the sound was moving.

A grunting voice came in a low voice, damn it, it's a devil. Maotou's eyes widened, and a yellow military uniform emerged from the grass, and a group of Japanese soldiers with guns got out of the grass. The Japanese soldiers in front were all armed with machine guns, and the rear were rifles and grenadiers, and the muzzles of the guns were all facing different directions, which seemed to be guarding against the surrounding environment. Damn, well-trained, let's eat Lao Tzu's shot. Maotou quietly took off the grenade hanging around his neck, took off the safety and threw it over. Hanging a grenade around their necks, this is the habit of veterans, it is a glorious bullet, they do not want to be a prisoner of devils.

A ball of fire erupted from the middle of the Japanese troops who "boomed", followed by smoke and dirt. The hairy head with his pants crawled out of the grass in embarrassment, and kept shouting "enemy attack, enemy attack, the devil is coming"

Hearing the sound, Zhao Zhi, who was carrying a gun, got out of the tent, looked at the embarrassed hair, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Devil, in that grass, I can't see the number of people clearly" Mao Tou, who had put on his pants, pointed to the grass he had just drilled out.

"Old cannon, take your people to blast a few times first. Uncle Guo, you go up to the tree to cover, the rich man distributes things, the car can't be wanted, let's walk with our feet" Zhao Zhi squatted behind the tree with the goats, raising his gun and aiming at the grass.

"What the hell is this, so many things" The rich man was in a hurry, so many supplies, if he threw them away, it would be a pity. "You're going to die, things are important or life is important" Long Hair pulled the rich man, slapped him hard, and threw it aside.

I saw it, I could already see the Japanese army, there were probably dozens of Japanese soldiers who came out of the grass, and it seemed that the secret post arranged by Zhao Zhi over there was finished. "Hit" the old cannon waved his hand, and several grenadiers fired at the same time, anyway, they couldn't take all the things away, so they just played with their lives.

"Sir, we also found devils behind us, we were surrounded" The machete ran back with a body of blood. "Long hair, take half of our mines, and take your men to the back to plant mines. The goat led people to cover him, and if he didn't hear the order to retreat, you were nailed to the back" Zhao Zhi looked at the goat's eyes, handed over his Browning pistol to the goat, and said word by word, "Those who retreat against the order, kill"

"Go" the goat nodded heavily and left with his man and longhair. The old artillery had successfully suppressed the Japanese troops in the grass, providing time and security for the rich man's distribution of supplies. The cans and ammunition boxes were smashed open, and everyone was scrambling to fill their backpacks.

Da took the female soldiers to load grenades vigorously, and everyone walked with difficulty, like a pregnant woman. "Throw it away, throw it away, pretend to eat more, do you want to starve to death?" The rich man scolded these dead-eyed women. But Da Da Confused ignored him and stuffed a grenade into his pocket.

Zhao Zhi called the rich man to him and pointed to the grass in front of him, "This grass is a forest to the south. In a moment you will take the female soldiers and the wounded first, and go into the woods all the way to the east."

The rich man looked at Zhao Zhi suspiciously, "What about you?" ”

Patting the rich man on the shoulder, Zhao Zhi smiled and said, "Don't worry, we are behind you." You remember, keep running and don't look back"

Zhao Zhi, who had made proper arrangements, put a bayonet on the rifle, held the gun, nodded at the old cannon, and stood up straight. "Boom" "Boom" The only two mortars of the old artillery began to bombard before the charge, providing cover for this charge. The power of mortars is not comparable to grenadiers, and the Japanese troops who attacked secretly did not expect that the routers of this group of expeditionary forces actually had mortars and were taken by surprise.

The Japanese soldiers in the grass were suppressed inside, and they did not dare to charge at all. Zhao Zhi waved his hand, "Charge, charge, press up" More than 100 Chinese soldiers who were trying to survive followed Zhao Zhi into the grass and fought with the Japanese army who were ready to annihilate them.
