Chapter 717 Investigation
When the squad and platoon commanders arrived at the headquarters, they saluted the officers of the United States, and immediately looked at their company commanders and asked what was going on.
"Sit down, what are you anxious about?" Seeing them like this, the company commander smiled and said.
When they went to the battalion headquarters for a meeting before, they heard that a deputy battalion commander of a foreign devil had come, and at first their company commanders were also opposed in their hearts, and the battalion commander and deputy battalion commander in a unit had to lead the team to charge when they were fighting, and once the deputy battalion commander in front of them did not command effectively, the entire unit would fall into disaster.
But later, when they heard the words of the battalion commander, they were also relieved, knowing that those foreign officers had no command at all, and only came here as observers of the troops! Now he sees that the platoon leaders below him are like this, and he can understand it very well.
"I said company commander, don't you pit the brothers, the ghost knows what he thinks, if he takes us into the pit, it will be over, and, look at this foreign, foreign officer! At first glance, he is a newcomer, and he probably hasn't been on the battlefield yet! One of the platoon commanders looked at the company commander and said, originally he wanted to talk about foreign devils, but he felt impolite, so he was a foreign officer!
"You really don't underestimate others, they graduated from the military academy on the right track, I inquired, it is equivalent to our country's Zhongyang Military Academy, that is, the former Whampoa Military Academy, you also know, there are many people in the Whampoa Military Academy who are officers in the army, by the way, what school is coming, Willim, what school is your school from!" The company commander asked.
"westpoint, this is the abbreviation of our school, the full name is TheUnitedStatesMilitaryAcademy! You can say that it is West Point, and the official is that it is the United States Military Academy," Willim immediately spoke fluent Chinese.
"Damn, can I speak Chinese?" When the platoon commanders heard this, they all looked at him in surprise.
"Yes! My neighbors are Chinese. I've been learning from them since I was a kid! Willim said with a smile and a nod.
"College students?" Another squad leader asked.
"Sort of!" Willim nodded.
"Damn, I'm sick, college students are still on the battlefield!" Another squad leader said.
"Smack!"
"Why are you beating Lao Tzu?" As soon as the squad leader finished speaking, he was slapped in the back of the head.
"Brother Bin is a college student, what's wrong, Brother Bin is sick?" The squad leader next to him scolded.
"Brother Bin is special. Besides, wasn't Brother Bin forced to fight with a gun because he was in a hurry? The squad leader who had been beaten immediately shouted.
"Okay, okay, people have some ability, but you are also right, he really has no battlefield experience, and I know what the brothers are worried about? Rest assured, he's at war. He has no command power, but he has the right to make suggestions, he is here as an observer of our company this time, and we will give them the position of deputy company commander, because when they return to China in the future, they will also lead troops to fight! The company commander interrupted them and continued their rambling.
"Oh, that's pretty much it, I thought we were going to go to war with the foreign devils in the future. That's not going to be pit and die in it. When the squad leaders heard it, they suddenly realized.
"That's what I said. How could Brother Bin agree to hand over the lives of his brothers to foreign devils! Another squad leader said.
"Be careful when you speak!" The company commander glared at the men and said.
"Oh, yes, yes, foreign officer, foreign officer!" When those people heard the company commander say this, they immediately thought that the foreign devil in front of them could understand Chinese.
"Alright. When you go back, you should also make it clear to the soldiers, so as not to cause any misunderstanding, and also, tomorrow, when we are on patrol. Take him with you too, by the way, brothers, if you can teach him something, teach him something, after all, how to say it, he is also a friend, don't let him be killed as soon as he goes to the battlefield! That's wrong! The company commander looked at the subordinates in front of him and said.
"Don't worry!" The men nodded their heads.
The next day, when it was time for the company to patrol, a platoon commander led the team to reconnoiter to Mandalay, worried about the devil's reconnaissance troops, because they would also reconnoiter this side, and they would have to fight if they encountered it.
Although Hu Bin has now promised not to fight Mandalay, he did not sign a comprehensive armistice agreement, and Japan will fight if it encounters a Chinese patrol, and the Chinese troops will also fight when it encounters a Japanese patrol, but it is a battle at the company and platoon level, so when patrolling, it is also dangerous.
"Take it! Bullets for you to carry! You're so neatly dressed, come on, get some leaves! The platoon commander was tidying up the line and preparing to set off, and when he saw that Willim was dressed so neatly, he immediately spoke.
Immediately, a warrior brought him a lot of leaves, and several fighters helped him hang the leaves on his clothes.
"To confuse the enemy?" Willim said as he looked at the platoon commander.
"That's right! You wear that neatly, and when you get to the woods, the devil can see you at a glance, and when the time comes, you will be finished, and also, don't carry the gun on your back, and when you get to the front, you must hang it on your shoulder, and the muzzle of the gun will be on the ground, and once you encounter an attack, you can shoot the gun as quickly as possible.
Also, the bayonet is tied a little low, and when you bend down to take the bayonet, the opposite side may kill it, tied to the thigh! Fix the backpack well, don't fall off it during the battle and affect the battle! The platoon commander said to Willim.
"Thank you!" Willim knew that those people were veterans who had survived the battlefield and knew how to save their lives!
"Okay, get some charcoal, your face is too white, make it black, it's so white, it's hard to hide!" The platoon commander saw Willim's face and immediately said.
"Yes!" One of the fighters ran into the barrage, got a little charcoal, smeared it directly on Willim's face, and then the troops set off.
After getting ready, they set off, at the beginning, everyone was very relaxed, and after the march was almost 10 miles, the soldiers in front had already begun to pick up their weapons and advance carefully along the forest, the soldiers in the back did not speak, and Willim followed the troops in the middle and back of the entire march!
Suddenly, the fighters in front made a gesture, and the whole team immediately crouched down, holding guns to the surroundings, and the platoon commander immediately ran over, and Wilim saw it, and also ran cautiously to the platoon commander's side.
"Look, the mark of the devil's leather boots, to the right! It is estimated that there are 40 people, almost a platoon of troops, also reconnaissance troops! A squad leader in front pointed to a team of imprints and said to the platoon leader.
"It's not long ago, it's this morning, I guess they spent the night nearby last night! Someone, send a telegram to the regimental headquarters, report our location, and tell them the whereabouts of the devils, so that the regimental headquarters will notify the patrol troops in this direction and remind everyone to be careful! The platoon commander heard it and said to the correspondent in the back.
"How do you know they have more than 40 people!" Wilim asked.
"Look at the footprints nearby, although there are only 3 rows, but look at the depth of those footprints, almost 10 people have stepped on them!" The platoon commander said to Willim.
Willim looked at the footprints carefully, then nodded, and although he didn't understand it yet, he found some of them.
"Go, chase after you, everyone be careful, there must be someone sentry behind the devil!" The platoon commander said to several squad leaders.
The squad leaders nodded, and then divided into 3 platoons to search and advance, following the footprints of the devils.
After chasing for almost 5 miles, those footprints went to the west, and they looked like retreat!
"Are you still chasing?" A squad leader asked.
"Map!" The platoon commander spoke, and soon a soldier came over with a map, and the platoon commander took it and unfolded it.
"We're here. This is still our territory, and there must be people from our special regiment operating nearby, and there are people from our special regiment moving 30 miles forward.
Go, chase, don't be afraid of them, if it really starts, there are many devils, the special regiment will definitely keep an eye on them, and it will be easy to kill them when the time comes! The platoon commander folded the map, stuffed it into the backpack of the soldier with the map, and spoke.
He knew that there was a battalion of special regiments in the vicinity that was operating, and that the special regiment did not have a fixed barracks, and that they all lived in the field, and only when they were on a break would they return to the division headquarters and continue to go out after a few days of rest.
"We're too far away from the big army! According to my estimates, the distance in a straight line is already more than 7 kilometers, and if there is a battle, reinforcements may not come so quickly. Wilim said to the platoon commander.
"It's a bit of a skill, it's almost 7 kilometers, but don't worry, there are a lot of our troops in action here, unless we encounter more than one squadron of devils, we can still hold on!" The platoon commander smiled and said to him, and then continued with his troops, and advanced again for about 3 miles, when they heard movement ahead, and the soldiers immediately found their bunkers and began to hide.
Soon, several fighters moved cautiously in front with guns, and when they moved about 100 meters, the soldiers were holding rifles, staring closely in their direction!
After advancing about 300 meters again, the fighters in front stopped, and one of the fighters ran over cautiously and made a few gestures in front of the platoon commander, which meant that on the mountainside in front, there were 2 squads of devils!
"2 squads, how is that possible?" The platoon commander saw it, and he was confused, there was only one squad or so of devils in the footprints here, why were there two squads of devils in front? The devils of the 2 squads are almost 100 people, and his platoon is only 43 people. If you want to fight, you may not be able to pick up a bargain.
