"Maybe we should ask them to air-drop a batch of shoes. There is enough food, and there is no shortage of weapons and ammunition. The only thing missing now is military uniforms and shoes. Of course, it would be better if there are clean underwear." He Tangcheng
George, who was discussing the content of the next batch of airdrop supplies, reached out and scratched his crotch while talking. Marching in the hot and humid jungle, rotten crotch is almost everyone's nightmare. They have not found a new water source in Tangcheng for two days, and there is no water.
It meant that they could only carry the odor all over their bodies. Under such circumstances, George's confusion at this time was already too common.
A week passed while walking and stopping. Tangcheng and the others kept moving according to the route on the map dropped by the plane until they arrived at this plain full of ravines and red soil. They looked far away at the jungle at the end of the red soil plain. Tangcheng.
Only then did he realize that he had reached the edge of the Savage Mountain jungle. For the dozens of defeated soldiers behind Tangcheng, they were lucky to survive, not to mention that they were eating American cans every day and carrying a bottle of water on their backs.
American weapons, this kind of treatment is probably something no one else in the expeditionary force has ever experienced.
The radio dropped by the air was never idle at all. Tangcheng wanted to contact the headquarters of the Fifth Army that had withdrawn from India. Mike wanted to contact the US military observation group. George also used it to contact the flying team. Among them, Mike wanted to contact the US military observation group.
The group has the most number of times. Food, supplies, weapons and ammunition, medicine, Mike wants almost everything. Uncle Mike, who has become familiar and yet unfamiliar to Tangcheng, once again showed his ability to Tangcheng, only a few times.
After the airdrop, the nearly 60 people in the team were all equipped with American weapons, and their backpacks were filled with canned biscuits and dried meat. Mike even asked the plane to airdrop a set of coffee-making equipment.
The more supplies are airdropped, it means that the day when they step into the Savage Mountain is getting closer. Others don’t care that they are about to step into the Savage Mountain, but Tang Cheng cares. So when Kankan reached the edge of the jungle, Tang Cheng ordered to stop
Moving forward, anyway, there are no Japanese troops chasing behind them. What they have to face is the jungle in front of them. Mike and George, who have never walked through Savage Mountain, have no idea how powerful Savage Mountain is. After Tang Cheng followed Huang Hanju into Myanmar, there were many
I talked about Savage Mountain with the local Burmese overseas Chinese in Mandalay for the first time, so Tangcheng knew how dangerous and terrifying Savage Mountain was.
George kept talking, but Tang Cheng didn't listen to a word. He was worried about Dice and the others who were out searching. According to the results of the plane's reconnaissance in this generation, there was a Burmese in the south not far from Tang Cheng and the others.
It was impossible to enter or leave the Savage Mountain without a guide, so Tangcheng sent Dice to take people to find the village, and also found a few Burmese people to act as guides for him.
"You don't have to worry about them. The pilot said that the village is not too far away from us. Besides, there are no Japanese troops here at all. Maybe they will be back in the afternoon." Mike had already noticed Tang Cheng's irritability.
Instead of thinking that this was a sign of Tang Cheng's immaturity, he valued Tang Cheng more and more. Mike could not understand the life-and-death friendship between Chinese soldiers, but a commander who would worry about his subordinates was by no means a cunning person.
, not to mention that he knows Tangcheng well.
"I'm not worried about them, I'm worried about this order issued to me by the military headquarters." After contacting the military headquarters of the expeditionary force that had withdrawn from India, the senior military officials burst out in anger towards their small force in Tangcheng.
With unusual enthusiasm, he was not only promoted to Tang Cheng's first-level military rank with red lips and white teeth, but also assigned Tang Cheng a mission, asking him to gather as many expeditionary soldiers scattered in the mountains and forests as possible after entering Savage Mountain.
.
They are all Chinese, and Tang Cheng is not averse to lending a helping hand to save people, but what he is really worried about is the generous terms offered by the military bosses. The bosses mentioned that Tang Cheng’s future military meetings
It is determined by the number of people he brings out of the Savage Mountain. In other words, if Tang Cheng can bring a company of soldiers out of the Savage Mountain, he is still a company commander. If he can bring out a battalion of soldiers, he is the battalion commander.
When he is above 100, he becomes the group leader.
A few days ago, the incident of the 700-man team being defeated by a burst of artillery fire from the Japanese army was still echoing in Tang Cheng's mind. Tang Cheng now had great doubts about his ability. He even believed that his greatest ability was to be able to command.
Dozens of people around me. "It's not impossible to save people in the forest, as long as there is enough food and medicine. But once we enter the Savage Mountain, there will be no chance for airdrops. There are no suitable airdrops in the Savage Mountain because of the high mountains and dense forests."
place. Without the airdrop to replenish supplies for us, how many people can we save with just dozens of us?"
Mike also knew that what Tang Cheng said was the truth. If there were only a few dozen of them, they could survive with very little food every day, but if there were more people gathered, there wouldn't be enough food to feed them.
"I think you are just worrying. Didn't I tell you a long time ago that you and those people under you are going to join the Sino-US joint force. As long as you nod, I will immediately put your list on the list.
Report it to the police. As long as you are no longer under the control of the expeditionary force, what else can those boastful guys do to you?" Mike's method was simple and direct, but that would require Tang Cheng's nod of agreement.
Tang Cheng himself also knew that the method proposed by Mike was the best solution, but he was worried that he would offend the big guys in the military department. He didn't care, but he didn't want to implicate Huang Hanju, who had returned to Kunming.
"I thought it was something. This matter is easy to handle. I also need a logistics liaison officer to keep in touch with the Chinese army. Wouldn't it be enough to directly transfer Huang Hanju into the Sino-US joint force to take charge of logistics? I don't believe it.
Those people you troubled dare to come to trouble me." Mike showed his domineering attitude at the right time, and such small things were easy for him.
Tang Cheng spit out the cigarette butt in his mouth and hid it from Mike with a serious face, "If you can solve my brother-in-law's matter, I will take my people and follow you." Tang Cheng didn't know whether his choice was right or not.
Correct, but he knew that following Mike would never make him and his brothers hungry. When a soldier fights, he must first have a full stomach, and secondly, sufficient weapons and ammunition. None of these seem to be a problem for Mike, who has great powers.
, Tangcheng would naturally not be willing to continue to wear rags and fight the Japanese army on an empty stomach.
Seeing that Tang Cheng had finally made a decision, Mike fiddled with the radio for a while. The transport plane that arrived in the evening finally brought the new military uniforms and military shoes that George had been looking forward to. Most importantly, he finally got a whole package of
Underwear, brand-new American military uniforms and military boots gave the already embarrassed defeated soldiers a brand new look. Although everyone's faces were still a little disgusting, every one of their faces was filled with joy and joy, and they felt sorry for Savage Mountain in their hearts.
The fear has been reduced to a minimum.
The defeated soldiers only wore their new military uniforms and military boots to show off for a short while, and then were forced to change out by the military doctor waving a cane. The reason was that everyone had not taken a shower, and the new military uniforms were not allowed to be worn casually before they had washed themselves.
"The most terrible thing in the forest is not the poisonous insects, snakes and beasts. The most terrible thing is the fleas and the smell of sweat on your body. The fleas will bring infectious diseases, and the smell of sweat on your body will attract poisonous mosquitoes and locusts.
Before entering the forest, you must first clean yourself up." The military doctor insisted on his words, and with Tang Cheng's tacit approval, the military doctor's words were obviously orders that must be carried out.
The dispatched search team finally found a stream nearby. Although the volume of water in the stream was no more than that of a child peeing, the defeated soldiers who were eager to put on new military uniforms to show off just built a dam with stones. The stream blocked by the dam crossed
The more people gathered together, and after the military doctor led the people to get enough clean water for drinking, the dirty people who could not wait impatiently jumped into the artificial pool. But when the people soaking in the water saw that they were being dice
When they brought back the two Burmese guides, they were so angry that they threw the military doctor who had previously sworn into the pool into the water.
The two Burmese men who agreed to lead the way to Tangcheng only brought with them two leather bags made of animal skins, two spears with wooden poles and iron tips, and a pair of bows and arrows. They were even barefoot. Such a group
The appearance of walking through the savage mountains was obviously inconsistent with the precautions and precautions mentioned by the military doctor. It was no wonder that everyone glared at the military doctor. Tangcheng did not pay attention to whether the two frightened Burmese were found by the dice or were intimidated.
As long as they promise to lead the way, they are not Chinese anyway, so there is no need to care so much.
"I'll leave these two Burmese guides to you and Zhao Liang. You can chat with them more when you have nothing to do. It's also a good time to practice your Burmese. Maybe your Burmese will be useful someday." The campfire is already here.
Lit up, Tang Cheng called Tan Fei, who had changed into a new military uniform, to his side, "Didn't we also seize a lot of Burmese banknotes from the corpses of Japanese soldiers and give them as rewards? If we find anything wrong with them,
Just kill him without telling me."
Tan Fei, who was originally relatively innocent, has been trained to be ruthless by Hou San and others. He also knows that the orders given by Tang Cheng are not lies. If these two Burmese people really have evil intentions, dozens of them may not be able to leave in their lifetime.
Go out of Savage Mountain. "Sir, don't worry. When we went to that village to find people, we showed the Burmese people the power of these American weapons. They didn't know how to use their spears and didn't dare to use them."
They are using bows and arrows to do harm to us." Although Tan Fei nodded in agreement, there was a hint of disdain in his eyes.
