Cao Daman, a standard Xiangxi person, tough and cunning, he has both the simplicity of the mountain people in Xiangxi and the blood bred by the 100,000 mountains of Xiangxi. [ 八[(?一Chinese ( ]〉].]8〉1)Z} First, with a local unit eating rice for a few days, he was requisitioned by a paper order to go to the periphery of the Songhu battlefield and resist the Japanese army for a few days, but in just three days, a regiment of thousands of people was left with less than 8o people.

Cao Daman fled with his commander all the way, joined several other troops to eat and drink, but they were all defeated by the Japanese army one by one, and finally fled to Yunnan. It's been almost a year, and Cao Daman's company has not been incorporated into the combat unit for a long time, but it has only repeated the daily training under the bullet pressure of a few big-nosed foreigners, and just when everyone thought that they would stay like this until the end of the war, the order finally came, and their company was incorporated into the battalion directly under Ledo.

The movement of the train's arrival brakes interrupted Cao Daman's reverie, and when the train arrived, the stuffy tank car that had been locked was opened, and Cao Daman's reinforcements jumped out of the carriage and stood in line on the platform, waiting for someone to receive them. After getting on the platform and looking around, Cao Daman realized that this time it was not only his own company, but the number of people should be four or five hundred, and the black pressure on the platform was the head.

"All of them, stand upright" A loud shout interrupted the conversation and laughter of the recruits, and several heavily armed officers were standing in front of the recruits with their backs, their dark faces expressionless, and the look in their eyes flashed as if they were watching a flock of quails. When the recruits were in Ramgarh, the most common training was to stand in line, and after a period of chaos, 4oo recruits stood in a neat queue, and the short and short Cao Daman stood in the first row, and he could clearly see the faces of those officers in the first row.

"You guys are the third batch of reinforcements received by our direct battalion, and with you guys, we have received a total of about 1ooo reinforcements, but our direct battalion has been short of staff, do you know why?" The officer who spoke was a lieutenant, a young lieutenant, "That's because the battle losses of our battalion are very high, and from the first day of formation to the present, there are no less than 3oo brothers killed in battle alone, and many more are disabled." However, the reason why the headquarters has repeatedly replenished our troop sources is because we can fight, we dare to fight the Japanese army that other units dare not fight, and we are a battalion directly under the Japanese army that dares to fight in close combat."

Listening to the lieutenant's words, Cao Daman unconsciously pursed his lips, there is an officer in the ** who will not say these words, and when he really fights the Japanese army, that one is not greased on the soles of his feet and runs fast. Cao Daman's disdain just fell into the lieutenant's eyes, just smiled slightly, the young lieutenant turned around and took a strange rifle from the back of another officer, and raised it high towards the supplementary soldiers, "This gun is engraved with 9 orthography, each represents killing 5 little devils, there are many such rifles in our direct battalion, this is still the least, the most rifle has 21 orthography on it"

The lieutenant's words were like drops of water falling into a hot oil pan, and in an instant the reinforcements were fried, disbelieving, questioning, and disdainful, with all kinds of expressions and voices, and the officers still stood silently, not interrupting the noise of the replenishments. "Sir, when we left the training camp, everyone was in military uniforms, did you let us use our shoelaces to kill the little devils?" A majestic voice sounded from behind Cao Daman, Cao Daman was happy, he didn't have to look back to know that it was Lu Xiong, that was a brainless guy, he was in a hurry to clean up for others, and there was a good show to watch.

To Cao Daman's surprise, the officers didn't want to clean up Lu Xiong at all, but just lifted a pile of oilcloth around them, revealing several neat piles of wooden boxes. A bald lieutenant opened the wooden box and took out a brand-new rifle and clicked the bullets, "Garand rifle, loading 8, you can continue to hit without pulling the bolt, the power is large and the range is long, but there is a bad place, if the 8 bullets are not all fired, you can't continue to reload the bullet or take out the bullet bridge" As soon as the words fell, the bald lieutenant's rifle was on his shoulder, and there were 8 gunshots, and several empty wine bottles in the distance exploded.

"Ding" The sound of the Garand rifle ejecting the bullet bridge was very crisp, and there was still residual green smoke and a good smell of gun oil in the open chamber, "This is the rifle of our direct battalion, each of you has one, the bullet is 24o" The bald lieutenant's gun order The soldiers did not dare to make a noise, and everyone just stared at the rifle he held high. The rifle that doesn't have to pull the bolt is indeed much stronger than the Medium and Mauser 98K, and the bullet has 24o, so you don't have to worry about running out of bullets when you fight.

The reaction of the supplementary soldiers made Yan Shijun a little puzzled, hadn't they been exposed to the Garand rifle when they were training in Ramgar? It is said that it should not be, the standard rifle of the expeditionary force is Garand, and the instructors should use Garand when training recruits in marksmanship, he himself used Garand when he was training in Lambga, is it possible that now the Lambgar training camp has changed the training subjects and equipment?

It was really guessed by Yan Shijun, since the headquarters was moved to Ledo, a large number of supplementary soldiers also came to Ledo, and only a few training instructors remained in the once glorious Ramgar. In order not to let them be idle, Cao Daman's group of people were sent directly to Ramga, but the instructors no longer had the enthusiasm they had at the beginning, and they used old-fashioned British rifles to train reinforcements every day, and the most common thing to do was cross-country running, so that the instructors could go out hunting justifiably. Therefore, Cao Daman's group of people is not half a star away from Zhao Zhi's expectations, if Zhao Zhi knows now, he will definitely vomit blood in anger.

The reinforcements have arrived, and the equipment that should be received has also been received, and the rest is to determine the time, Zhao Zhi decided to go out immediately. The replenishment soldiers who had just gotten off the train were sad, and the trucks that usually only sat 2o people were stuffed with no less than 4o people, and there were 4o vehicles in more than 5o trucks of various types that were used to transport mules and horses. The truck only pulled away half of the soldiers, as if the rich man's brain turned fast, unloading the tires on the trucks that Ledo couldn't want, and made a lot of rubber ** board trucks in advance, and the board cars full of people were hung directly behind the trucks.

The tricycles and bicycles of the captured Japanese army were the objects of the old artillery, and they were almost all visited by the old artillerymen in the troops stationed in Ledo, and as long as they were the means of transportation that could save labor, they were all returned to the battalion directly under them. There are all kinds of vehicles on the highway, sudden motorcycles, tinkling bicycles, squeaky board cars and panting trucks, which were originally only directly under the battalion of 8oo people, but they have pulled out a marching column more than a mile long on the mountain and forest road.

"This can't be done, it's too slow" Zhao Zhi stood on the jeep and looked helplessly at the long queue of tows, there were too few trucks that Lieduo could find, if it weren't for the rich man's board car, it was estimated that more than half of the soldiers would have to run forward. The authorities were obsessed with bystanders, Zhao Zhi's complaints were heard by Yuan Qingqing, and Yuan Qingqing was happy, "You, you, you forgot when we used to walk in the jungle, at that time, we just had a few motorcycles and didn't cross the jungle the same, don't forget, our supplies can be airdropped, it's good for you to get so many mules and horses, it's not too troublesome"

"Ahh It is difficult for the people of Gaoligong Mountain to walk, these mules and horses may not be able to go up the mountain, they have made a set for themselves, and they have slowed down the march for no reason, and they are really confused. Zhao Zhi wanted to stop and rearrange the mules and horses and trucks now, but there was no place where there were people before and after, and if the extra mules and horses were put here, the rich man would definitely not agree, so he would insist on going to Xinpingyang.

Cao Daman slowly moved to the back of the carriage with difficulty, the carriage was full of sweat and smell, which suffocated Cao Daman to death, and the place of the tailgate was better, at least he could breathe fresh air through the gap in the tarpaulin. Although Cao Daman is from a Zhuanghu, he can't stand the strong smell of sweat in the carriage, not to mention that he doesn't know which guy's shoes have been taken off, as if the smell of salted fish's feet is permeating the carriage, I really don't know how this guy took off his shoes in such a crowded environment.

"Huh" is unbearable Cao Daman lifted the tarpaulin and poked his head out, breathing in the dusty air outside, the smell of earth in his mouth made Cao Daman's spirit lift, he was a farmer who had been dealing with soil since childhood, and it was not a big deal to eat a few mouthfuls of soil. "You don't want to fucking die? Retract your head" An angry voice suddenly sounded, and an officer wearing goggles stood up in the jeep behind Cao Daman's truck, his hand pointing at Cao Daman.

The officer's reprimand made Cao Daman startled, and he hurriedly retracted his head, and then the tarpaulin that he lifted also fell, covering Cao Daman tightly. "What's going on? Bear it" A veteran with two cigarette rolls stuffed in his nose smiled embarrassed Cao Daman, who was laughed at, was laughed at, Cao Daman felt a little hot and bowed his head and said nothing. The old brothers who were sent to Ramgarh together in the past have long since separated, and the short Cao Daman has been brushed down by the officers who picked up the troops several times, and the other brothers have been assigned to the combat unit early and entered Burma, leaving only Cao Daman himself still living in Ramgarh. Cao Daman, who felt that he was inferior to others, was even more withdrawn, and in the Ramgarh training camp, there were even fewer reinforcements to talk to him.

"Here, stuff it in your nose, it will be more comfortable" A cigarette roll was thrown into Cao Daman's arms, and the veteran who laughed at him just now gestured to him to break the cigarette roll and stuff it into his nose. Cao Daman was a little embarrassed to pick up the cigarette roll and break it into two according to the old soldier's appearance and stuff it into his nose, although the nasal cavity was full of the spicy smell of tobacco, but it was much better than the smell of sore feet of human brain melon seeds just smoked. Cao Daman smiled at the veteran and nodded, and then he saw that there were more than a dozen guys like himself with cigarettes in their noses in the carriage, and everyone thought the smell in the carriage was unpleasant.

"Get off, get off" The truck stopped, an officer trotted one by one with a wooden stick in his hand to knock on the tailgate of the truck, at noon, the convoy traveled about dozens of kilometers, Zhao Zhi decided to stop and eat, this is a supply point built by the engineering regiment when building a road, just suitable for stopping and eating. Canned food and compressed biscuits are very convenient, the leading scout team has already boiled several pots of boiling water, and the lunch box is soaked with compressed biscuits and canned meat on the open fire, and a simple lunch is solved.

Cao Daman, who got out of the car, only found a little balance in his heart, compared to smelling his feet, those guys who sat on the board car without shelter were miserable, not only eating dust and soil behind the truck, but also changing color by the hot sun, all of them were as brown and black as Indian natives. Cao Daman carried his lunch box and followed the guys in the same car with him to line up to turn on the water, but saw that there were several officers in the queue, Cao Daman was a little puzzled, in his memory, the officers never ate with the soldiers, let alone lined up with the soldiers to turn on the water.

"What are you looking at? Do you still want boiling water? Wang Dabao, who was tall and strong, knocked on the edge of the pot with an iron water scoop, reminding the stunned guy in front of him that every time he received recruits, there were always a few guys who were quick to see what he saw, and the same was true for the one in front of him. There was no Wang Dabao in the promotion of the officers of the direct battalion this time, but he was not angry, he was already a second lieutenant officer just a cook, I am afraid that this is the only one in the expeditionary force, this is already very good, I know how capable I am, if it weren't for the commander watching the brotherhood to take care of him, I'm afraid he would still be the guy who carries the marching pot all day long.

Zhao Zhi, who was carrying a lunch box, took the dog and a few of them, wandering around among the supplementary soldiers, and when he saw the seemingly edible supplementary soldiers, Zhao Zhi took out compressed biscuits or cans from the dog's backpack and threw them over, but the most he threw out was cigarette rolls, although it was not a good cigarette, but it was very good for soldiers who did not have a lot of allowances. It was because of his own drill that these supplementary soldiers suffered on the road, and Zhao Zhi had no way to solve it immediately, only to use materials to temporarily appease him, as long as he arrived in Xinpingyang tomorrow, it would be easy to do.
