Chapter 153: Callbacks are multi-faceted
Zhao Zhike, who returned to the inner valley with people, didn't know this, he was busy watching the old cannon to comfort Zhao Yan. "Old cannon, you dog, you won't say a soft word? Say a few nice words, and your Zhao Yan will forgive you" Zhao Zhi pointed at the dejected old cannon with a cigar with a smile on his face, and teased "It seems that you should sleep on the ground at night, hey, it's really pitiful." Why don't you move to the stables in the evening, I see that little black mare likes you, and you two can make do with it."
"Sir, are they going to be doing something in the dark?" Yan Shijun was still not at ease, and asked Zhao Zhi quietly. Before leaving, Yan Shijun saw the cold expression that flashed on Zhao Dahai's face. "Don't worry" Zhao Zhi took a puff of his cigar and leisurely spit out the smoke ring, "This is in Burma, not their 112th regiment, the mountain is far away from the emperor, what can he do to me, I have a sense of proportion." Don't forget, Wallace is also in the headquarters, and that kid is familiar with the sea in the headquarters."
Yan Shijun then remembered that when Wallace left, Zhao Zhi secretly stuffed a leather bag. The dog had snuck through the jungle, and the bag was full of gold bars and jewels. It seems that Zhao Zhi has been planning for a rainy day for a long time, it seems that he is really timid, and he has to learn from his superiors.
The camp is still the same, Zhao Zhi did not treat the people of the reconnaissance company badly because of Zhao Xiaochuan's affairs, and the daily supplies and meals were also distributed according to the standards of the advance battalion. However, the equipment and weapons that had been disarmed by the advance battalion were not returned to the reconnaissance company, saying that it was the camp regulations that non-combatants were not allowed to wear firearms in the camp.
Zhao Dahai was calm, just wandering around the camp every day, chatting with the soldiers of the advance camp from time to time, and his attitude was very kind. In just a few days, some unwitting soldiers liked to go to the barracks of the reconnaissance company to chat with each other. On the contrary, the veterans of the bearded group of them were much more honest, and they only stayed in the barracks all day to take care of the wounded, and even the old artillery went to them to drink less. Zhao Dahai claimed that he was an officer, and he was deeply respected by the regiment commander and even the division commander, and he also had a lot of backstage in the headquarters, so he didn't take Zhao Zhi seriously. But the bearded soldiers didn't dare to think like this, seeing that the advance camp of the people was monolithic, and the doglegs were so convinced of Zhao Zhi, they didn't dare to rashly wade into this troubled water.
Sure enough, Zhao Xiaochuan's beating was only a small matter, but Zhao Zhi received a telegram from the headquarters, which was full of reprimands. said that Zhao Zhiju was proud of his achievements, and he relied on his own merits, even though his subordinates came to him, he made a big attack on his brother troops. Before Zhao Zhi could reply to the complaint, a telegram from the military headquarters of the New First Army arrived, which was almost the same content, with only one more, saying that Zhao Zhi was sabotaging the unity between the expeditionary force and the troops.
The news sent back by Wallace was also not good, and the new 1st Army had applied to the headquarters to send another officer to take over the advance battalion, suggesting that Zhao Zhi be recalled to Ramgarh. Moreover, they described several casualties of the advance battalion and the successive supplementary soldiers as casualties caused by Zhao Zhi's proper command, and demanded that Zhao Zhi be examined.
"There is no excuse for the crime you want to add," Yan Shijun angrily threw the message on the table. Zhao Zhi went to Yuan Qingqing's side early in the morning with the dog and steamed buns, and Edward, who received the message, did not dare to tell Zhao Zhi, but gathered the others together first to discuss first, thinking about whether he could find a solution.
"I don't have a master here, I have a place to keep my master" The blacksmith, who has never liked to speak, shook his schoolbag normally, "Anyway, I'll leave the words here first." If the chief goes, my blacksmith will go, and we won't wait to see other people, it's really not good, so I'll go back to Lieduo to raise pigs."
"Slap" Uncle Guo's big slap slapped the table, startling everyone, "You still think the chief is not in trouble enough?" Can you say that at this time? Didn't you force the chief to the mountain of knives? Uncle Guo, who had an old face, pointed to the blacksmith and counted them down. The most photographed thing in the army is that the officers form gangs, not to mention that Zhao Zhi and the doglegs are only junior officers, and they still don't have any backstage. Once the bigwigs have a grudge, in a matter of minutes, the little shoes that can kill people will be thrown over.
"Go to the chief, you can't hide this matter from him, you have to make up his mind" Seeing that everyone was talking about it, they didn't come up with a single way, and Lao Pao simply advocated going directly to Zhao Zhi. Anyway, Zhao Zhi has always had a lot of ideas, and this difficulty in front of him should be able to get over, and he must get through it.
"That's it?" Looking at the group of anxious white-faced guys in front of him, Zhao Zhi chuckled and tore up the message, "I expected this to happen, not to mention our casualties, no matter how big the casualties are, with our achievements, the headquarters will not say anything." Someone has taken a fancy to the fat of our advance camp, and this is to take me out first, so that the advance camp can be pocketed."
Zhao Zhi's words woke everyone up, and after thinking about it carefully, it was still such a reason. "Damn, these things that eat people and don't pull are invisible when they are fighting, and they are running away when they are grabbing merit" The angry old cannon raised his foot and kicked Zhao Zhi's homemade fishing rod into the pool.
"You dog's day, Lao Tzu is still pointing to it to drink fish soup, you go and fish it up for Lao Tzu" Zhao Zhi jumped to his feet angrily, forcing Lao Cannon to go into the water to pick up the fishing rod. Uncle Guo and everyone looked at Zhao Zhi who was messing around with the old cannon with disdain, when is this happening, this person is not in a hurry at all.
"Yo, Camp Commander Zhao, it's so Yaxing" Zhao Dahai, who was smiling, walked over with a few people. After learning of the intentions of the military department, Zhao Dahai was ecstatic all night, and looked for Zhao Zhi everywhere early in the morning, wanting to see Zhao Zhi's depressed appearance. Compared with the indignation of Lao Pao and others, Zhao Zhi was extremely calm about Zhao Dahai's appearance, and just greeted him lightly, "Are Company Commander Zhao's injuries healed?" ”
Zhao Zhi's indifference was beyond Zhao Dahai's expectations, and when he thought that Zhao Zhi received a telegram from the headquarters, he should be furious. If Zhao Zhi was angry and clashed with the reconnaissance company again, it would just follow his wishes, and he just gave the handle to the 112th Regiment and the headquarters. But Zhao Zhi is now unfazed, but he makes it difficult for him to say what he says later.
"Company Commander Zhao, come, fishing, cultivating sentiment and self-cultivation" Zhao Zhi handed the fishing rod picked up by the old cannon to Zhao Dahai, and walked slowly with the dog and steamed buns. The meal was started immediately, he looked idle and chatted with Zhao Dahai by the waterhole, seeing that Zhao Zhi left, Uncle Guo looked at him, and the other people also dispersed in a hurry, leaving only Zhao Dahai's people still there. "This Zhao Zhi is more difficult to deal with than he imagined?" Zhao Dahai sighed with emotion, squatting on the edge of the waterhole and thinking about whether he should report Zhao Zhi's reaction to the headquarters.
"Sir, just leave them in the camp and just drive them out" Looking at the triumphant Zhao Xiaochuan and the others, the steamed bun's teeth itched. "Don't worry, don't worry, it's not the time yet, you can't hand over the handle to them, wait" Zhao Zhi looked unfathomable, and after eating, he took the steamed buns to find Yuan Qingqing and Linda. Everyone didn't pay attention, and the dog quietly entered the inner valley with a piece of paper.
In the afternoon, the headquarters in Ramgarh received a telegram from Zhao Zhi and the engineer company. Although the two messages were intended for the same thing, they differed in detail at the end. In Zhao Zhi's message, he blamed himself for all the blame and blamed himself for not disciplining his subordinates strictly. The telegram from the engineer company explained the whole incident in great detail, but the final responsibility was placed on the reconnaissance company of the 112th regiment, saying that the conflict broke out because the junior officers of the reconnaissance company broke into the sentry post and had nothing to do with the advance battalion.
The telegram sent by the engineer company caused an uproar in the headquarters, and it was already determined that Zhao Zhi should be transferred back, but as soon as the telegram from the engineer company came out, it was difficult to handle. If Zhao Zhi defends himself, it may be said that Zhao Zhi is quibbling, but the engineer company is from the US army, and it is an American soldier from Yishui, so it cannot be said that Zhao Zhi has bought all the US troops. Even if those US troops were bought by Zhao Zhi, no one dared to say it, and who would dare to say it without evidence.
For the advance battalion, in fact, the command did not pay much attention, but just remembered and used it. Now that the 112th Regiment has made such a fuss, Zhao Zhi and his advance battalion have once again stood in front of everyone, and those who have good deeds have taken out the matter of rescuing the British army in the Battle of Karaka. On that day, Karaka had more than 2,000 British troops and two battalions of the expeditionary force, and only a few hundred advance battalions did take the initiative to attack, and later in order to clear the Japanese troops entrenched in the Ghost Gate Pass, the advance battalion left Karaka first, and the credit was returned to the 114th Regiment. Now that the incident of the reconnaissance company has emerged, it can be seen that the 38th Division has been planning for the advance battalion for a long time.
In the end, it was Wallace's gold bars and jade jewelry that worked, and after several discussions at the headquarters, the final word was finalized. Captain Dyck of the U.S. Engineer Company took over the advance battalion and continued to garrison the valley camp, and Zhao Zhihe and the wounded officers were transferred back to Ledo to recuperate. No one thought of this kind of ending, and Zhao Dahai, who thought that he could take over the advance camp, was like a basin of cold water poured on his head, and he hid in the barracks all day long and never came out. He originally thought that Zhao Zhi would obediently obey, but he didn't expect that Zhao Zhi would make a lose-lose situation like a ship, thinking that not only the soldiers of the advance battalion would not be waiting to see him, but even the veterans of the beard would be evasive of him.
Being able to return to Ledo before the rainy season arrives is an absolute good thing for the doglegs and Zhao Zhi. For several days, I have been packing up and preparing supplies, and identifying the personnel who will return to the queue. Zhao Zhi is leaving, Edward and Catherine will naturally not stay, not to mention the female soldiers and doglegs, plus Yan Shijun and Wang Tian, the team of Hui Liduo has swelled to nearly 80 people. was a new official, and with a stroke of the pen, he put all the people who went back on the list of wounded soldiers, and gave Zhao Zhi more than 20 mules and horses to haul the supplies he carried.
Carrying the materials presented by and picking a good weather, Zhao Zhi took the team that turned back to Leduo on the road. This time I went on the road lightly, all the equipment was handed over to mules and horses, and there was no combat mission, so the speed was naturally much faster. There was food and drink along the way, and according to Catherine, it was still a dangerous jungle, and it was like a vacation.
