"Pursue down the mountain, a team of 10 people, you can't pursue alone" Zhao Zhi gave an order, and the infantry company, which had long been recuperated and ready to go, poured down the mountain position like a tide. At the same time as the shelling, Zhao Zhi ordered the logistics team to distribute all the American-style ammunition to every soldier who was not injured, and the bullets and grenades were sufficient enough for them to use when pursuing the Japanese army.

"What are you doing? Stand down for Lao Tzu" The old cannon who secretly wanted to sneak into the pursuit unit was accidentally discovered by Zhao Zhi, and this man was bowing his head with an embarrassed face to receive instructions. Everyone knew about the scout team, and they all knew that Zhao Zhi was uncomfortable, so the old cannon just lowered his head and didn't say a word of retort.

"You go up and see the goats and machetes, there are not many old brothers who walked out of the forest together, we can't all die here, there must be a few people who go home with ashes" Seeing that the old cannon didn't return his mouth, Zhao Zhi himself lost interest in what he said. Suddenly, the tone changed, and he let go of the old cannon very lonely.

The old cannon glanced up at Zhao Zhi, raised his thick black eyebrows, swallowed back the words that came to his lips, and took his female gunners back to the mountain position with mortars. Lao Pao is a stupid and careful person, what Zhao Zhi is thinking in his heart, he knows it clearly, but he doesn't know how to comfort Zhao Zhi. For such a difficult job, it is better to hand it over to Yuan Qingqing and Linda.

"Sir, I've contacted my uncle, they have blocked the fleeing Japanese army, and asked if they want to block the Japanese army" Yan Shijun hurriedly ran over with the footmen. This student soldier has long lost the youthfulness he had when he first came to the direct company, and already has the appearance of a veteran of a hundred battles, and he also has some shrewdness in his eyebrows and eyes.

"Let them dodge a way and force the Japanese army into the forest, lest the dog jump off the wall in a hurry, our people have died enough, don't fight hard" The reinforcements sent by the headquarters have already defeated the Japanese stragglers who are entangled, and they are rushing over here, and the Japanese troops who are forcing into the forest can just be bumped into by them, and it will not be Zhao Zhi's business when the deer dies.

The huge casualties of the direct company had already made Zhao Zhi turn his anger against the Japanese army on the reinforcements, if they were more angry and came earlier, he would have killed so many brothers in battle. As soon as he thought of these things, Zhao Zhi felt that his blood was turning upside down, he stumbled under his feet, and a mouthful of blood was already spurting out of his mouth.

"Carry it back, carry it back" Seeing that Zhao Zhi vomited blood, the dog and several people panicked, and carefully carried Zhao Zhi all the way back to the mountain position, and the ambulance was set up on the grassy slope behind the mountain position. This is also the second time Zhao Zhi vomited blood, last time it was at the Ghost Gate Pass for Xiucai, and this time it should be for those scouts who died in battle.

"What's going on?" Yuan Qingqing, who was busy bandaging the wounds of the wounded soldiers, saw a large group of people rushing into the ambulance, so he pulled a soldier who came with him and asked him. Knowing that it was Zhao Zhi who vomited blood again, the frightened Yuan Qingqing directly squatted on the ground, and Yuan Qingqing, who didn't dare to cry, had to cover his mouth tightly with his hand. Big tears were still flowing out, and the front lining of the military uniform was already wet.

"Crying for what? Didn't you just vomit blood? and didn't die" Seeing Yuan Qingqing like this, Cao Yan, who had never liked to make a noise, suddenly seemed to be a different person, and dragged Yuan Qingqing, who was squatting on the ground, to roar, making the other female soldiers look stupid. "Don't cry, sir, he's a good man, it's going to be fine" Cao Yan stopped after a few words, hugged Yuan Qingqing tightly in her arms, patted Yuan Qingqing's back, and softly comforted Yuan Qingqing, who was trembling like chaff.

Different from Yuan Qingqing's helplessness, Linda, who received the news, was still able to maintain some composure, and hurriedly checked Zhao Zhi from head to toe, and finally Fang Tianyu, who was proficient in traditional Chinese medicine, diagnosed Zhao Zhi was just depressed in his chest, just vomit out the blood, and just need to rest and recuperate. So Zhao Zhi, who was handled gently by everyone like a national treasure, was arranged to lie down with the goat and machete to rest and recuperate.

The situation of the pursuit of the Japanese army was not the same as Zhao Zhi expected, and the Japanese army, who had long lost their will to fight, was chased out of several miles like a duck, and was chased in front of Uncle Guo's sniper team. The snipers, who had been struggling to engage the Japanese army head-on, would also let go of this good opportunity, and a burst of accurate guns blocked the panicked Japanese troops under a mountain beam, and were dumpled by the random pursuers.

Yan Shijun, who was going to convey Zhao Zhi's order, was frightened by Zhao Zhi's vomiting blood, and when Zhao Zhi was sent to the ambulance, he remembered the order to pass on to his uncle. By the time Zhao Zhirang's order to let go of his life was passed to his uncle, he was already counting the prisoners and cleaning up the battlefield. At this point, the mixed brigade of Japanese troops stationed in the new Pingyang area, except for some Japanese troops who fled in advance, and the rest of the Burmese soldiers were captured by the uncle.

"Don't take prisoners, kill them all, Lao Tzu doesn't have extra food to feed these Burmese" Zhao Zhi's first sentence when he woke up was to kill all the Burmese soldiers who surrendered. Yan Shijun has already counted the battle situation, and the company directly under him was disabled again, 76 people were killed in the battle, and 20 were seriously wounded, excluding the logistics team and artillery, the only people who could use the company as a mobile force were Uncle Guo's snipers and a few young people around Zhao Zhi, as well as 5 scouts, a total of less than 40 people.

The same was true of the infantry companies, which accounted for one-fifth of their strength, but their casualties were caused by Japanese artillery fire, most of them were wounded, and not many were actually killed. With such a record of defeating the mixed brigade of the Japanese army, it is estimated that Ye Tian will not blame Zhao Zhi for treating his people as donkeys.

The ammunition brought out by the direct company when it left Xinpingyang has been exhausted, and the engineer team led by Kane is now used as a guard team on the mountain position, and it is the captured Japanese-style 38 rifle. Except for a few machine guns that were retained by Zhao Zhiqiang's order, the direct company no longer had any heavy firepower.

The pursuit lasted until the afternoon, a full four hours, and the soldiers who had lost their strength and stragged were everywhere, but everyone got the spoils of the brigade, even Cao Yan brought a team of female soldiers down the mountain and came back. The defensive battle of the mountain range has come to an end, and Zhao Zhi, who was lying on the hospital bed, ordered to collect the corpses of his own people, gather the soldiers, and put his main energy on the mountain position.

After a night of nothing, the tired and exhausted soldiers hastily stuffed some food into their mouths, and then huddled together and fell asleep. The next day, they were still collecting the corpses of their own people, cleaning the battlefield, and gathering the spoils of war, and everyone was very busy. Reinforcements sent by the headquarters did not arrive until late in the evening, and a mighty infantry battalion escorted an American engineer battalion into Xinpingyang, where they came to set up preliminary facilities, and Xinpingyang was to build a hospital and an airfield.

It was a battalion of the 112th Regiment that rushed to the rescue of Xinpingyang, and the 112th Regiment, as the vanguard of the expeditionary force's counterattack on Burma, had already pressed up on the whole front. According to the operational plan of the headquarters, several infantry battalions under the 112th Regiment were scattered into two routes to advance into Burma, one along the Da Long River to find the Japanese troops on the front line of the Da Long River for sporadic engagement, and the other along the Vantag Mountains to the area of Lagasu to garrison.

The expeditionary force that came to the rescue of Xinpingyang was to advance to the Lagasu garrison, and the escort of the US engineer battalion was just a piggyback on the way, and it was precisely because they temporarily brought the US engineer battalion that the rescue time was delayed. Zhao Zhike didn't care what kind of elite the 112th Regiment was, he didn't even meet him, so he blasted the liaison officer sent by the infantry battalion down the mountain position. If they had come earlier, their brothers would not have died as much.

In the face of Zhao Zhi's arrogance, someone in the infantry battalion was shouting to give Zhao Zhi a good look, and when Zhao Zhi returned the infantry company on hand to them, the upper and lower levels of the infantry battalion could be regarded as seeing the danger of this bloody battle. When the infantry company arrived at the mountain position, it was still a fully manned company, but it only held on to the mountain for a day and a night, and pursued the Japanese army for four hours, and the infantry company suffered more than a quarter of the casualties, and the rest were all wounded.

The infantry company is only doing second-line defense, so Zhao Zhi's direct company can be imagined, and people will complain and scold their mother. The infantry battalion rested in Xinpingyang for two days, and Zhao Zhi never showed up, he was keeping a vigil for his brothers who died in battle, and he had 76 lives. A few days ago, dozens of people were still alive, but now they have become lonely souls under piles of loess, and Zhao Zhi sat with them for two days. Zhao Zhi didn't want to see the infantry battalion in Xinpingyang, he was afraid that he would shoot and kill people if he couldn't control it.

The battle report to the headquarters has been sent back, and it was discussed by Uncle Guo and Yan Shijun together, and Balabala wrote a lot, anyway, there is only one meaning, the direct company suffered heavy casualties this time, but it was injured and needed to rest well. It's been two days, and the palindrome from the headquarters hasn't come back, anyway, Zhao Zhi doesn't want to take care of things, and the others are happy to do nothing, chatting and playing cards and laughing on the mountain position all day long.

It was not until noon on the third day that the reply from the headquarters came, and in view of the large casualties of the direct subordinate company, the direct subordinate company was directly asked to rest in Xinpingyang nearby. Subsequently, the field hospital established in Xinpingyang will give priority to receiving the wounded of the directly subordinate company, and all kinds of materials will also be supplemented with priority in the directly subordinate company, and then 300 additional soldiers will be sent to Xinpingyang along with the supplies, hoping that the directly subordinate company will rest and recuperate while retraining.

Then there was the list of a group of meritorious personnel in the directly subordinate company, and some non-commissioned officers were promoted to lieutenants, most of whom were brothers who had died in battle, and Yan Shijun also got a second lieutenant. Among the senior officers, Kane was the only one who became a major, and the happy Kane smoked when he saw people, and he couldn't close his mouth all day long. Zhao Zhi's rank has not changed, and he is still his major, which makes Edward very puzzled, according to the record of the company directly under him, Zhao Zhi, as the chief officer, should have been a lieutenant colonel a long time ago. /AUT
