Zhao Zhi, who was riding on the horse, was a little proud, this trip was really smooth, not only did he get things back without firing a shot, but also got 30 gold bars and three boxes of good cloud soil from Zhang's family as a carriage fee. Dozens of horses and those carriages pulling smoke and soil made the team drag a little long, Yan Wudao took a few mercenaries from Russia to gallop back and forth in the team, they were the vigilant riders arranged by Zhao Zhi, in order to deliver news to Zhao Zhi who walked in the middle of the team, they had to toss back and forth again and again, but those mercenaries from Russia seemed to like the feeling of riding on horseback.

It's only the beginning of 39, when will the walkie-talkies equipped by the US military come out? If his mercenary unit was equipped with walkie-talkies, there would be no need to toss back and forth at the guard posts, and Zhao Zhi couldn't help but miss the antique walkie-talkies of the American army during World War II. However, according to official records, this tool that can communicate over long distances was not produced by Motorola's predecessor Galvan Manufacturing Company until 1940, which means that Zhao Zhi had to endure a year of living with manual transmission of messages back and forth.

Walkie-talkies, Garand rifles, American-made Springfield sniper rifles, and Katyusha rocket launchers of the Soviet Army, these are all equipment and weapons that Zhao Zhi wants, but it is only early 1939, and many weapons have not yet been developed, even if there are already samples, Zhao Zhi can't get them into his own hands. Since coming to this era, this is the first time that Zhao Zhi desperately wants something, and it is extremely urgent.

"Sir, there is Wild Bear Ridge ahead, shall we just swagger over the past?" Since Luo Ying, who is a small ghost, has been learning poetry with Xie Xiuyun for a few days, she likes to add idioms when she speaks, especially in front of unfamiliar people like Luo Lin. Luo Ying was too young to ride a horse, so Zhao Zhi placed him in a carriage and sat on those tobacco boxes.

"Wild Bear Ridge" Zhao Zhi pondered for a while, and called Zhang Jinquan and Ye Kong over, "You two take our snipers and go first, and ambush on both sides of the Wild Bear Ridge mountain road." If the convoy successfully crosses Wild Bear Ridge, you will retreat, and if you see a large group of mountain bandits coming down the mountain to rob the road, you will shoot, especially the leaders of those mountain bandits, you don't have to show mercy" Zhao Zhi's mercenary team has 20 snipers, which is enough for the mountain bandits in Wild Bear Ridge to drink a pot.

Zhang Jinquan has followed Zhao Zhi since he started, and he is only training those big-nosed foreigners to survive in the wild, and he has not used the new gun he just got a few times. Always listening to Ye Kong talk about the fact that he followed Zhao Zhi to sweep the military strongholds around Xiao Zhangzhuang, Zhang Jinquan was already anxious for a long time, this will wait for the order to let himself attack, and then he clamped his legs hard, pulled the reins of the horse and rode out first. "Huha" The Russian snipers shouted loudly and rushed out on their horses, which attracted Zhao Zhi's side Rowling couldn't help but laugh.

On the way out of Xiushui Town, Zhang Zhanpeng had already told Zhao Zhi all the terrain of Wild Bear Ridge, not to say no, his nephew was still in Zhao Zhi's hands. That ghostly little guy was carrying a slingshot in his hand, and as long as he couldn't catch Zhao Zhi a little, his nephew would be hit with a stone. Only then did he walk to Wild Bear Ridge, and one side of Zhang Xiucheng's buttocks was already swollen, and if he didn't confide in Wild Bear Ridge, Zhang Xiucheng's entire butt would be smashed by stones.

"Eugene, come here" Zhao Zhi shouted to Eugene, who was riding on a horse and watching left and right with a telescope, this guy has been doing very well since he joined the mercenary force, at least Zhao Zhi has identified with this Russian man in his heart. "You pick 15 people who are skilled in using submachine guns, form a team alone, each person brings 2 base bullets, and follow Zhang Jinquan and them as the second echelon to cover the firepower" Zhang Jinquan Although they all use sniper rifles, but that kind of bolt-action rifle will limit their firepower, once the mountain bandits use strong firepower, these snipers will be very dangerous, at least in the mountain warfare, these rookie mercenaries are not the opponents of the local mountain bandits.

Two groups of people were sent in a row, and the length of Zhao Zhi's convoy was shortened a lot, and the remaining mercenaries and Rowling's bodyguards surrounded the carriage filled with smoke and dirt in the middle. The terrain of Wild Bear Ridge is just like Zhang Zhanpeng said, it is the terrain of two mountains and basins, and the road from Xiushui Town to Yuanshan Town is just along the slope between the two mountains, and this slope is where the mountain bandits of Wild Bear Ridge often rob passing traders, and Rowling's tobacco from their Castle London Company was robbed here last time.

Just as Zhao Zhi and the others walked to the periphery of the slope, a fast horse rushed out of the valley, and immediately sat a Russian sniper who had left ahead of time with Zhang Jinquan. "Sir, our people are scattered inside, no danger has been found, the convoy can pass now" The mercenary who had finished the report turned his horse's head and roared towards the valley again.

"I have to say, your people are very well trained, although they are all rude but very good" Rowling lifted the reins and walked side by side with Zhao Zhi, inspecting the combat effectiveness of Zhao Zhi's mercenaries, which was the main reason why Rowling wanted to follow this time. If there are any characteristics of watching the mercenaries being trained and marching and camping along the way, then it is a little weird and shocking for Rowling to solve the militia and the Zhang family compound in Xiushui Town for only half an hour without bloodshed. Even if Rowling has some elements to please Zhao Zhi, she has to admit that Zhao Zhi's mercenaries are extraordinary.

"Thank you for the compliment" Zhao Zhi bowed slightly to Rowling on horseback, "They are not the best, if you come to see them in half a year, you will be even more surprised at that time, they are the real mercenaries at that time" As soon as Zhao Zhi's words fell, he heard the sound of gunfire coming from the valley, the gunfire was not dense, but it seemed that there was no intention to stop.

"It seems that Jinquan and they have already started fighting" Zhao Zhi jumped from the horse to a carriage and summoned Yu Dazhi and Luo Lin to his side, "Gather all the carriages together, and put the horse's head inward." Dazhi, take 30 people to 50 meters in front of the convoy to find cover and guard, Rowling, take your people to watch the carriage and hostages, don't mess up" The remaining mercenaries under Zhao Zhi and Rowling's bodyguards began to prepare according to Zhao Zhi's arrangement, Zhao Zhi was not afraid that Zhang Jinquan and they would be defeated by the mountain bandits, but just prepared in advance for the safety of Rowling and Yantu.
