The sun was poisoning, and a group of people marched through the mountains and forests, and the men were marched on the mountain road by horses, and several soldiers with long knives walked in front to open the way, opening a mountain road that could be passed by mules and horses. This team was Zhao Zhi and his direct company who had left the Japanese supply point, and they and the mules and horses were carrying weapons and supplies selected from the supply point.

"No, no, rest for a while and then go" Zhao Zhi waved his hand, collapsed in the grass nest out of breath, and the dog hurriedly handed over the kettle with a good look. A mouthful of water belly, Zhao Zhi felt better, and the rich man of the dog day was too greedy for money, and moved most of the materials in the Japanese supply point, not only those mules and horses were half dead, but even Zhao Zhi was forced to put a light machine gun on his shoulder.

"The BnTo kid knows how to make a fool of himself, so why don't you bring water to the XzRRTs too?" The old cannon, who was in a good mood, hooked the dog walking by him with his foot. The old cannon got a 60 mortar from the rich man, and threw the clumsy flamethrower to the steamed bun that had long been coveted. It's just that the old cannon completely forgot that in this kind of woodland full of vines and shrubs, the flamethrower nmDuZM is far better than the mortar nmDuZM.

The hardness of these successive battles made everyone's hearts full of arrogance, and they won all three battles, and their own casualties were only half. Although everyone is full of supplies on their backs, like the bandit mountain king who returned with a full load after robbing his house, everyone is warm in their hearts, and these are all captured Japanese army materials. Zhao Zhi has always been like this in wars, he will not fight battles that cannot be drawn, and the spoils after each battle are divided equally by everyone, so everyone is tired of heavy materials and half dead, and no one has half a word of complaint.

Zhao Zhi originally thought that he would still wander around the supply point for a few days to see if he could fight a few more ambushes against the Japanese army, but the headquarters telegraphed several times a day to summon Zhao Zhi and his direct company to immediately turn back to Xinpingyang. Due to the recent heavy rain in the mountains of Savage Mountain, many landslides on the paved improvised roads have been interrupted, and a large number of troops and supplies have been stranded in Ledo. Coupled with the quarrels of the upper bosses of the expeditionary force, so far, only one main force of the 112th Regiment has advanced to the front line of Xinpingyang and Lagasu, which is facing the Japanese army across the Dalong River.

The intelligence source of the headquarters has always been provided by the locals bribed by the British army, supplemented by aerial photographs of US reconnaissance planes, so the chief of staff of the expeditionary force, Patno, has always believed that there is only one brigade of the Japanese army on the line from Hugang Valley Pass to Menggong, and he has always thought that the 112th Regiment is cowardly, and he is making trouble with nmDuZM to change troops or hold the military commander responsible. It was not until Zhao Zhi's telegram and battle records were transmitted back to Ledo that the headquarters changed its initial mind and re-dispatched a reconnaissance team to collect intelligence.

This time, the Japanese army was determined to block the expeditionary force at the mouth of the Hukang Valley, and they arranged a total of three Japanese wings in the Hukang Valley, the 55th Infantry Wing, the 56th Infantry Wing, and the 18th Artillery Wing. Among them, the headquarters of the 18th Artillery Wing and the 55th Infantry Wing were located in Yubang, and the headquarters of the 56th Infantry Wing was located in Taibaijia along the Dalong River, and the Japanese army concentrated almost all its forces on the northern front, preparing to use the wide roads of the northern front to entangle with the expeditionary force.

In fact, when the headquarters summoned Zhao Zhi to return to the army, they had already summoned most of the 38th and 22nd divisions to start advancing to the front line of Xinpingyang, and it was not Zhao Zhi's intelligence that made the command make this decision, but the 112th Regiment that captured Lagasu had just killed a battalion commander. This was the highest-ranking officer killed in the expeditionary force since the counteroffensive against Burma in '43, and even Stilwell visited the Lajasu front.

Only an infantry battalion of the 112th Regiment was stationed in Lajasu, and they were faced with an integrated infantry brigade of the Japanese army and some Japanese stragglers, numbering about 2,000 people. The headquarters was afraid that the infantry battalion of the 112th Regiment would be lonely and would not be able to speak, so it remembered the direct company that was leisurely in the jungle, so it simply ordered the direct company to approach Lagasu and assist the infantry battalion in garrisoning Lagasu.

Zhao Zhi never wanted to mix with other troops, he was afraid of being calculated by the bigwigs, afraid of being used as cannon fodder. But the order of the headquarters has come down, nmDuZM dares to disobey, so it is better to be cannon fodder. Considering that it has been raining in the Hukang Valley recently, and the airdrop of materials is not expected to be smooth, Zhao Zhi decided to move some of the materials captured from the Japanese supply points to solve the problem of insufficient supplies for his direct company.

Yuan Qingqing, who was stationed in the position of Xinpingyang Mountain Ridge, had already gone straight to Lagasu with the remaining reinforcements, and they nmDuZM built a defensive line before Zhao Zhi arrived at Lagasu, and the headquarters had no clear order to attack, so the Lagasu line had long been mixed up with the Japanese army, and the positional warfare was the mainstay. The supplies hoarded on the mountain positions were also taken to Lagasus, leaving only an empty mountain position for the follow-up troops.

Zhao Zhi and the others did not return to Xinpingyang according to the original route, but went directly through the valleys, jungles and mountain slopes, and went straight to Rajasu, and the Burmese locals they met along the way were all captured by Zhao Zhi. Most of the officers under Zhao Zhi are veterans, and they don't have the kind of military regulations that the original Fifth Army did not violate in the autumn, only nmDuZM did what was good for them, anyway, the doglegs decided that the Burmese were all helping the Japanese to do things.

"Sir, along this direction, there are still 80 kilometers to reach Rajasu" The machete rushed back with a few scouts, some of the recruits brought this time could speak Burmese, and now the guide who led the way was a dozen Burmese locals who were captured by the machete. Every time nmDuZM was needed for directions, the scouts would separate the guides and ask them, so as to avoid the guides deliberately leading their direct companies to take the wrong path in the mountains.

"Let's go, let's go" Zhao Zhi looked at his watch, he had already rested for half an hour, it was noon, nmDuZ M was in a hurry, and he should be able to reach Lagasu before dark tomorrow. Under the reprimand of the officers, the extremely reluctant soldiers got up and continued on their way, of course, they all carried some ammunition and supplies on their backs.

The rich man was the only happy person in the whole team, and originally there were only 5 American machine guns in the company directly under him, but 7 or 8 light and heavy machine guns were captured in the first battle of Xinpingyang, but they were all left in the mountain position. Now, when the supply point was cleared, the rich man found 6 Japanese light machine guns and a large number of machine gun bullets in a pile of supplies. Although it is not as good as an American machine gun, no matter how small the mosquito is, it still has meat, but fortunately it is also a machine gun, and the nmDuZM is much more powerful than the rifle.

A large number of canned meat (bean dregs + animal fat) captured by the Japanese army was generously distributed by the rich man to the captured Burmese strong men, and now there is no shortage of food in the direct company, and the rich man of this inferior Japanese-style canned meat has long been disdainful. Zhao Zhi also agreed to give the Burmese those canned hair that no one nmDuZM had, at least on the surface, these Burmese who accompanied the army were hired by Zhao Zhi with canned food. Moreover, this group of Burmese Zhao Zhi is still of great use, and Zhao Zhi is counting on them to dig trenches for themselves in Rajasu.

"Sir, BnTo buckle this to the steel helmet" The dog made a straw ring with thatch and fastened it to Zhao Zhi's steel helmet, so that it could at least block a little bit of the sun. Zhao Zhi, who was in a hurry, didn't know what kind of battle the two people he cared about were going through in Lagasu.

Yuan Qingqing, who was "lying down" in the trench to bandage the wounds of the wounded, was knocked down by Zhao Yan, and with a "boom" sound, a mortar shell from the Japanese army exploded in the trench, a cloud of smoke rose up, and several soldiers who were crumbled by shrenel wailed and fell back and forth in the trench. "Bang" "Bang" Cao Yan's sniper rifle fired continuously, and with the dull sound of gunfire, several Japanese soldiers in the sniper scope fell, and one Japanese soldier's head was shattered, and the steel helmet flew to the ground and rolled out with a grunt. "Bullet" Cao Yan stretched out his hand, and a lightly wounded man lying next to him hurriedly handed over a bullet bridge, and Cao Yanlisuo loaded his ammunition and continued to search for the next target.

Yuan Qingqing and the others had just arrived at Lagasu, and they happened to encounter the Japanese attack, and Yuan Qingqing, who didn't say a word, jumped into the trench with people. The Japanese troops on the opposite side had mortars and Type 92 infantry guns, and in heavy firepower nmDuZM had an advantage over the expeditionary force, which had only a few Bazooka and 81 mortars. The expeditionary force was once suppressed by the Japanese army, and it was not until Yuan Qingqing and their joining that the situation improved, and the male snipers left by Uncle Guo were led by Roger back to the flank to clean up the Japanese grenadiers and officers, and Cao Yan took the female snipers to kill the Japanese machine gunners.

"BnTo isn't nmDuZM dead?" Zhao Yan turned over and got up, screamed and raised his hand to give Yuan Qingqing a slap, Yuan Qingqing's back was hurt by Zhao Yan's pat, but his heart was warm. The daughters and daughters in the company have never been separated since they came out of the jungle last year, and they have long formed a deep friendship with each other, and Yuan Qingqing and Zhao Yan are like sisters. Zhao Yan is already a big grinning character, and after following Lao Pao, she is even more like a man's wife, Yuan Qingqing also knows that Zhao Yan cares about herself.

"Qingqing, is BnTo hurt? Where's the injury? Linda, who was holding the steel helmet, rushed over, and when she saw the blood stains on Yuan Qingqing's uniform, she groped up and down with her hands, for fear that Yuan Qingqing was hit by shrapnel and left some scars. Although Linda and Yuan Qingqing have been secretly comparing Zhao Zhi's issue, at the critical moment, Linda still regarded Yuan Qingqing as her own relatives. The mortar shell that exploded in the trench just now frightened Linda, because she remembered that Yuan Qingqing was bandaging the wounds of the wounded in that section of the trench, so she rushed over.

"Linda, Linda" Yuan Qingqing, who was touched by Linda, quickly grabbed Linda's magic hand, "XzRRT is fine, it's okay, it's all the blood of the wounded, really, XzRRT is fine" Yuan Qingqing half-knelt in the trench and twisted his body, and also moved his hands and feet to prove to Linda that he was safe. "Thank God" Linda, who was finally relieved, was soft, and she also knelt in the trench, and stretched out her hand to hug Yuan Qingqing and cried, but her tear-stained face was full of joy.

Linda, a child from a middle-class American family, has experienced many battles with her direct subordinates, but when the danger falls on the people she cares about, she still can't help but be afraid. "Don't howl, it's ugly" Zhao Yan also secretly wiped the tears on her face, and shouted at Linda in a rough voice, but she didn't want to attract the big eyeballs of Yuan Qingqing and Linda flying at the same time.

The machine guns that had been hidden in the "da" position finally opened fire, driving the charging Japanese troops back like a whirlwind. The Japanese artillery was very accurate, and the machine guns on the position could only shoot one magazine to transfer the position of nmDuZM, and the slightest hesitation would be retaliated by the Japanese artillery. Roger had snipers in his hands but there was no way to kill the Japanese artillery, and the expeditionary force's position in Lagasu was facing the Japanese army, and the snipers could not take a detour to the rear of the Japanese army to attack the artillery position, at most they could detour to the flank and kill some grenadiers and artillery observers.

Fortunately, the artillery of the expeditionary force is also good, although there are not many shells, it is still possible to interfere with the Japanese artillery, so the Japanese artillery is also a change of place when it hits, and there has not been a salvo of shells. "Shelling, Japanese shelling" Sure enough, as soon as the 81 mortar fired two shells, the Japanese 92 infantry guns began to suppress the artillery fire, mixed with grenades and mortar shells from grenadiers.

Cao Yan, who heard the shouts of the veterans, retracted the trench with a rifle, and squatted in the tunnel with a hardwood roof to rest, and more than 200 people from Yuan Qingqing defended a slope trench of more than 300 meters. If the Japanese abandoned the area and turned to attack the plains on both flanks, the direct company on the hill would be from a high position to provide fire support for both flanks. So this trench became a thorn stuck in the throat of the Japanese army, a sharp thorn that could nmDuZM die.

The shelling lasted about two or three minutes, and the earth and rocks on the trenches were constantly thrown up and down, and choking smoke filled the entire length of the trenches. Cao Yan's face was calm, just holding his rifle and lowering his head and leaning tightly on the tunnel, several wounded soldiers of the 112th Regiment who were injured and did not have time to withdraw looked at Cao Yan curiously, they have seen a lot of female soldiers, but they have never seen them who dare to go to the battlefield to kill devils, not to mention that Cao Yan is holding a sniper rifle in his arms.

"Japanese troops, Japanese troops are coming," the observation posts left in the trenches shouted one by one, the artillery fire had been transferred to the nearby positions, and the Japanese began a new round of attacks. Cao Yan grabbed the gun almost reflexively and drilled out of the tunnel, the friendly position on the right was being hit by the Japanese artillery fire, the violent explosion sounded, the cannon rumbled and the smoke was filled, the Japanese army is nmDuZM preparing for a new attack?

"Fire, fire" The Japanese troops who were pulled into a straggler formation attacked, the veterans screamed and pulled the trigger, Cao Yan shook his head vigorously and began to search for his target. At this time, he could only concentrate on driving the Japanese army back, thinking that he would give away his own life, and Cao Yan didn't want to be the next corpse to be dragged down. /AUT
