Chapter 42 Responding to the Battle

"No, if we don't withdraw, our reinforcements will be coming soon, and when the time comes, you will have as many bullets as you want." The mercenary captain shook his head slightly, two mercenary teams ten miles away from them were rushing over here, and the Japanese army on the opposite side was only temporarily forced to retreat by them at this time, if they retreated rashly, maybe it would attract the Japanese army's crazy pursuit, there were wounded in the team, and it was not suitable for long-distance marching now, so it was the best policy to wait for reinforcements on the spot.

"The Japanese army came up, and they all covered with the corpses of their own people." The mercenaries who were in charge of watching the movements of the Japanese army suddenly screamed, and the Japanese soldiers who had withdrawn came again, and they walked up straight, but in front of all the Japanese soldiers who participated in the attack were a Japanese corpse, and they used their own corpses as cover to withstand bullets.

"These ghostly guys are endless, bring Bazooka over and watch Lao Tzu bomb them." Their Bazooka also had 7 rockets, and it is not known whether they could repel this Japanese attack, but at least they could leave an unforgettable memory for the Japanese army. Carrying the already loaded Bazooka, the mercenary captain slowly lay on the ground along the terrain, and the weeds that swayed in the wind in front of him were used to conceal Bazooka. The Japanese army, which would always only line up in a triangular attack formation, was slowly approaching here, and the two Japanese troops with heavy casualties finally joined forces, but they didn't know that this was exactly what would be beneficial to the mercenary team.

"Boom" Bazooka finally opened fire, and after the loud bang, the smoke rose several meters high, and the snipers took advantage of the chaos to shoot, knocking out all the Japanese soldiers who had accidentally peeked out from behind the corpses. "Reload, reload, I'll bomb them again." Seeing that his method had worked, the mercenary captain was overjoyed, and dragged Bazooka back to the loader, urging him to reload immediately. The mercenaries figured out how to crack it, and the Japanese were not slow to react, stacking the corpses together to form a cover several meters long to block the snipers' bullets, while the Japanese hid behind and set up machine guns and grenadiers.

The Japanese machine gun that had been silent for a long time roared again and spat out a rain of bullets, and the mercenary captain who was carrying Bazooka was blown away by the grenade and turned his back to the sky, and the Japanese firepower temporarily prevailed, and the situation began to become unfavorable for the mercenaries. "When" the mercenary captain, who had just raised his head, was pushed to the ground by a bullet struck by the steel helmet, and the mercenary in charge of loading the ammunition dragged his carrying gear with one hand and Bazooka with the other to retreat.

"Can't hit" The sniper couldn't hit the Japanese machine gunners and grenadiers hiding behind the corpse wall, and shouted anxiously, three mercenaries had already been hit by Japanese machine gun bullets, and if this continued, maybe they all had to die here. "Boom" and "Boom" two explosions, the corpse wall that the Japanese army had painstakingly built was engulfed in fire and smoke, the stumps and severed arms fell one after another with the rising smoke, and the Japanese machine gunners and grenadiers hidden behind the corpse wall also became a piece of residue among those stumps and broken arms.

"It's our people, it's the reinforcements coming." The reinforcements who were relieved from the predicament looked behind them, and the familiar German-style steel helmets and black visors were definitely not wrong, they were their own people. Dozens of German-style steel helmets appeared from the steep slope behind them, and they were the ones who blew up the wall of Japanese corpses, and they used American-style mortars, which had much greater range and power than Bazooka.

"Old Niu, it's not too late for us to come, is it?" Little John, who had half a cigar in his mouth, looked at Niu Dashan lying on the ground with a hippie smile, and the latter was the leader of the mercenary team that had been fighting with the Japanese army for half a day. "Guys, you can rest first, and we'll take care of the rest, and I'm not going to let them or get out of here." Little John took out his cigarette and threw it to Niu Dashan and them, turned around and led his mercenaries to join the encirclement and suppression of the Japanese army.

The two Japanese search squadrons were only a little more than 100 soldiers alive, but they were no match for the two new mercenary squads after losing their light machine guns and grenadiers, and under the fire of as many as 12 snipers and 2 American mortars, the remaining Japanese troops were surrounded by mercenary regiments after only 2 miles. "Tell them to lay down their arms and surrender, or I will come down and tear them to pieces and throw them into the woods to feed the beasts." The last dozen Japanese soldiers were trapped in a depression, and the condescending little John had no intention of spending bullets on them.

The mercenaries' repeated shouts were not appreciated by the Japanese soldiers, and as more than a dozen explosions sounded in their hands, the depression was full of smoke and corpses, and the Japanese soldiers, who knew that they were cornered, sat around and detonated the grenades on their bodies, along with their weapons. "These fools, isn't it better to be a captive than to commit suicide." Looking at the corpses in one place, Little John was a little speechless about the dead eyes of these Japanese soldiers, but he completely forgot that Thunder never left Japanese prisoners.

"You said that the gentleman is here too?" Niu Dashan, who was being cleaned by the medical officer, turned to look at Little John, Niu Dashan did not know that the 25th Army had occupied Jingdong and attempted to attack northern Burma, and his team was just patrolling in this generation according to Yan Wudao's order to serve as a guard and search mission. The encounter with the two Japanese search squadrons was also regarded by him as accidental, so when Little John told him that Mr. Zhao Zhi was also here, Niu Dashan's first reaction was that Little John was joking with himself.

"What kind of eyes are you? Do I dare to joke with Mr.? For you, do you dare? Little John was amused by Niu Dashan's eyes at this time, and hurriedly told Niu Dashan about the 25th Army, and the latter realized that it was not an accident that he met the Japanese army. The Japanese army you meet must be the vanguard search force of the 25th Army, it doesn't matter if you destroy them, anyway, our husband is ready to do a good job with them in this mountain, and today can be regarded as a good start. ”

Little John, who was bragging with Niu Dashan, didn't know that when he was rescuing Niu Dashan's team with his mercenaries and another team, Zhao Zhi, who had set off from Mandalay Airport, had successfully parachuted in this area, and Yan Wudao and his 60 elite mercenaries were parachuted along with Zhao Zhi. The three transport planes had already returned, and Zhao Zhi, who was busy collecting parachute supplies, did not know that Niu Dashan's squad was fighting fiercely with the Japanese army only 30 miles southwest of them at this time.

The parachute landing point chosen by Zhao Zhi is an open land, perhaps a siltated plain formed by floods in the rainy season, the area of this open land is not too large, but it is very flat, which is very suitable for parachute troops to carry out airborne here. "Leave five people here to help the sappers build a steel fortress, and the rest of the people will be divided into two teams to search the area to determine the commanding heights and terrain advantages." Zhao Zhi put the carrying gear on his body while instructing Yan Wudao beside him. Several operational staff officers selected by Zhao Zhi were going to come over with Tang Lei, who commanded the Qingfeng troops, on the next batch of transport planes, and Yan Wudao temporarily assumed the role of staff officers.

Hanging the submachine gun on the triangular gun belt, Zhao Zhi seemed to have returned to the time when he was on a mission in his previous life, parachuting, running, completing the task, and returning, it seemed that all the processes were the same, Zhao Zhi's expression was suddenly a little trance, if it wasn't for Yan Wudao's answer interrupting his reverie, I'm afraid Zhao Zhi would really think that he was still in his previous life. "Let's go, I'll lead Team A, you lead Team B, we will search from the left and right sides at the same time, and report in time if we find any abnormalities."

Zhao Zhi's A team of mercenaries are mainly foreign mercenaries, and they are tall and carry a lot more things than Yan Wudao's team, but in terms of travel speed, they are on par with Yan Wudao's B team. Pulling open the skirmish line According to the requirements of the frog jumping tactics, Zhao Zhi and his mercenaries covered each other and marched forward, and Little John's team interrogated the prisoners of the Fourth Division and learned that the 25th Army already had a large number of forward troops in this mountain, if this is really the case, then the transport plane that flew here just now will definitely attract the attention of the Japanese army, not to mention Zhao Zhi, the umbrella flower when they parachuted down is also very eye-catching, so they must move forward carefully.

"Safety" The mercenary who first climbed the cliff reported safety, followed by Zhao Zhi and others also climbed this cliff full of strange rocks, unlike most mountains in northern Myanmar, there are not too many trees and weeds on this cliff, it is completely like a stone mountain. Looking at the dark red mixed with the bare rock layer on the cliff, Zhao Zhi couldn't help but light up, there are many minerals in Chan State, iron ore is one of them, the color reflected by hematite is dark red, maybe this strange stone mountain will be a hematite.

Zhao Zhi took out the map and marked the location according to the coordinates, the Southwest Associated University also has a geological department, and when the Japanese are gone, maybe you can find some people who know geological exploration from the Southwest Associated University to come and have a look. Zhao Zhi's mercenaries didn't understand the purpose of Zhao Zhi's move, and Zhao Zhi didn't want Lang to bother to solve their doubts, the bigger the battle, the more materials Thunder would need, especially the demand for steel and oil. Zhao Zhi has always envied the German armored forces led by Rommel, and the torrent of steel is always the killer weapon and winning weapon of the plain battle, so Zhao Zhi's thirst for steel is simply to the point of neuroticism.

"Sir, Team B has news, they have found traces of the Japanese army, the number is about a squadron, and it is coming towards us, but the weapon configuration has not yet been determined." The footmen in Zhao Zhi's team came over to report the news that Yan Wudao's team had just discovered. The Japanese army came so quickly, Zhao Zhi couldn't help but squint his eyes, which can only show that there are two situations, either this Japanese squadron happens to be searching nearby, or the 25th Army has a assembly point near here.

"Since people have sent it to the door, then let's play with them, and we can't let them underestimate our thunder." Zhao Zhi put away the map and said with a smile. It's just a squadron of Japanese troops but only about 200 people, this Japanese army, Zhao Zhi really didn't pay attention to it, even if there is another Japanese squadron, Zhao Zhi still dares to fight, don't forget that this is a mountainous area, not a plain battle that the Japanese army is good at.
