One sentence blocked James back, and this guy's face turned red and he couldn't say a word anymore. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Okay, you can ask questions." Haysom said that he was blocking James.
"Your Excellency, Colonel, when you assigned the sneak attack mission, you once said that you American soldiers have more important tasks to perform, so you don't participate in this operation, right?" The scrivener asked Haisen, and every word was very clear.
"Yes." Hazen replied, adding as proof of something: "My troops of raiders are well-trained and known for their ability to accomplish difficult tasks, and they are naturally responsible for the most difficult tasks." ”
The scrivener nodded, indicating that he understood. He deliberately turned his head to look at the American soldiers who were hurrying, and then said: "Your Excellency, your raider troops are almost out of weapons, what can you do to carry out the most difficult mission, with a pair of hands?" ”
This sentence was like a resounding slap in the face of Haysen, "##%#&;" He said something that people couldn't understand, and it was estimated that even he couldn't understand it. This slap was too loud and hit the nail on the head, and it was irrefutable. Haisen naturally knew about the fact that the American soldiers threw away all their weapons, and he was also very angry about it, and reprimanded some people. But to no avail, every day when they returned to the road, some American soldiers secretly lost their weapons, and when questioned by their superiors, they said that they had lost them while crossing the swamp. Haysom was helpless about it.
"Scrivener, don't go too far. Do you still need to ask about the affairs of your superiors? Deputy Commander Ma came forward to reprimand Haisen and found the bottom of the steps.
"Hehe...... sneered in the scrivener, "I'll wait and see what mission the looter troops are going to perform." ”
"Presumptuous!" This time, even Haisen was on fire, he had just recovered from the embarrassment, and his hatred for the scrivener was so great that he almost pulled out a gun and pointed it at the other party's head.
"Come on, take him down!" James on the side faked the tiger and ordered several American soldiers next to him to tie up the scrivener.
The scrivener was unmoved, "What, I can't stand it?" Is it your idea alone or is it all of yours? He set his eyes on Deputy Head Ma to see what kind of attitude he had.
"Scrivener, if you are so arrogant, I'm afraid punishment is inevitable." Deputy Head Ma said.
"Okay, okay." The scrivener box said two good words, "If there is a stronghold in front, you can uproot it." Battles have to be rotated. My sharp knife is not even commanded by anyone. ”
Deputy Head Ma's face froze for a moment, and the words of the scrivener pierced his heart deeply, making him scruples. If there is a Japanese stronghold on the road ahead, do you still have to count on others? What's more important is that the combat effectiveness of the sharp knife company is there, and if you really want to arrest the scrivener, that group of people must not play with their lives!
"Mr. Colonel, do you see if it's ......" Deputy Regiment Commander Ma whispered to Haisen.
Haisen's complexion changed and changed, and finally he had to put the scrivener away.
James's face was pale, and the last sentence of the scrivener was clearly thorny, more like a warning, with the military power in hand, who could do anything to him. Originally, James wanted to touch this hard nail, but Haysom first softened and signaled for release, and he had to do so.
The head of the scrivener box left without looking back, leaving Haisen with a back. At this time, Haisen had no intention of looking at the scrivener box again, and had been pondering what he had just said: If there is a Japanese stronghold in front, you can uproot it. This means that the scrivener box will not be shot again, so who will carry it out? I'm about to get out of Savage Mountain, and it's unlikely that I'll encounter a Japanese stronghold, but what if I do? Who will act as a death squad?
"Commander Ma, if there is a Japanese stronghold in front, your soldiers will act as death squads." Haisen said to Deputy Head Ma.
"This ......" Deputy Head Ma was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Haisen to mention this issue. Good. He agreed.
The rainstorm came again, and the original plan was to get out of Savage Mountain in three days, but it had to be postponed for another two days. The Allied headquarters' plan to arrive on the outskirts of Myitkyina on 12 May now seemed to be impossible in any case, and even if they were desperately haste, they would have to be delayed by seven or eight days.
The moment they walked out of Savage Mountain, everyone felt relaxed, without the trouble of the swamp, and the road was much better. The distance traveled on the daily march nearly doubled. Senior Colonel Haysen ordered the troops to move forward at full speed, and to leave behind all those who were wounded or unable to walk, because there was another unit coming from behind, and they would take care of the aftermath.
There were no wounded dragging, and all the soldiers went into battle lightly. The speed has increased considerably, and the originally planned seven-day journey has only taken four days. Arrived on the outskirts of Myitkyina in the evening of the fourth day. It was 16 May, four days later than originally planned.
It is said to be a suburb, but it is actually more than 30 miles away from the airport in the suburbs of Myitkyina. You can't go any further, it's daylight now, and if you are discovered by the Japanese army, everything will be wasted.
Haisen ordered the communications corps to take out a telegraph and send a message to the headquarters that the troops had arrived on the outskirts of Myitkyina and were ready to launch a surprise attack in the early hours of tomorrow morning, and asked the headquarters to cooperate.
The radio waves were emitted, and everything was in full swing, and the seemingly calm Myitkyina was about to be dyed red by the artillery fire.
Haysen ordered his troops to rest for a few hours and prepare for a surprise attack on Myitkyina. One of the headaches is that many US soldiers lack weapons, and they are all thrown on the Savage Mountain during the march, how can they fight with their bare hands? Deputy Regiment Commander Ma had to mobilize the Chinese soldiers to give up some of their weapons.
The scrivener was not stingy either, giving up ten rifles to the American soldiers. He has his own thoughts, if the American soldiers do not participate in the war on the grounds that they do not have weapons, it will not be cheaper for them, and it is better to take the initiative to give up some.
The whole army was in a state of dullness, which was the dullness of the coming big war. Experienced veterans will choose to rest well and prepare for the upcoming bloody battle. Everyone has mixed feelings, the big war is about to begin, and who knows if there will be any more lives tomorrow morning. This night may be the last night of their lives, and the thought of it can't help but feel down.
Shortly after nightfall, a group of mysterious people suddenly arrived, led by an officer. Even Haisen had to salute respectfully, which shows the high level of this person.
This is the Supreme Commander who commanded the operation? The soldiers all made such guesses. This speculation was quickly confirmed, and Brigadier General Merrill came to the troops and was to personally direct the raid.
Scrivener is no stranger to Merrill as a person, and has even met him once. This person's identity is relatively special, he is the special envoy of Stilwell, the commander-in-chief of the Southeast Asian Theater of Operations of the US Army, and he has a lot of right to speak, and it is not surprising that he served as the commander-in-chief of the raid on Myitkyina.
