The waiting Japanese army never came, and George's grand desire to sell 10,000 rifles before the end of the war could only come to an end temporarily, and Tangcheng only left 200 tattered trophies, and all the extra weapons and ammunition were sent to Kunming by George very diligently." If you don't need to kick it, why don't you keep your promises. The dice covered their waists and glared angrily at Hou San, the Japanese army did not come, and the idle dice pulled Hou San to practice his fists and feet all day long, but most of the time it ended with the defeat of the dice, and this time it was no exception.

", when you do it with the little devil, you don't use your feet? As long as you can knock down your opponent, you can bite it with your teeth. Hou San was dissatisfied with the dice glaring at him, so he countered in a weird way. Liu Shishi, who had been successfully bought by Hou San with a crossbow, squatted next to him and nodded in agreement, but the others were already surprised, most of them were doing their own things, and they didn't have time to take care of the daily beatings between the dice and Hou San.

After lunch, it began to rain on the red clay slope, and the rain looked heavy, and the whole camp, including the blue sky and red military flag on the camp's flagpole, was now hidden in the white rain and fog. The bored veterans could only sit in the anti-artillery hole and talk nonsense, a figure came out of the rain and fog, such a heavy rain, the man did not run, step by step walked steadily, military boots splashed muddy water in the mud.

The figure is close, it's Tang Cheng, who has just returned from Mackna. Tang Cheng entered the tent wrapped in a mist, and did not take off his raincoat, and said directly: "Greet everyone to pack the march, and after the rain stops, gather and set off immediately." The people in the anti-artillery hole all looked at Tang Cheng blankly, and they couldn't react at once. It's still raining outside, so it's not a good time to set off when the rain stops, and the mud alone can drag everyone down.

"What are you going for?" Hou San couldn't help but take the initiative to ask.

"The order of the command wants us to go deep into the Xinpingyang area, reconnoiter the terrain, the enemy situation and the airdrop sites along the way, and then cooperate with the 38th Division to take Xinpingyang." Tang Cheng's face was covered with rain, and his brows were already tightly furrowed, which made him feel a little more dignified. Listening to the orders of the headquarters, Hou San and the others did not dare to slack off, so they could only put on raincoats and drill those anti-artillery holes one by one, and inform their soldiers to be ready to set off at any time.

Xinpingyang is located in the middle of the Savage Mountain, the terrain is flat and wide, it is a rare open area in the Savage Mountain, and it is the only way for the China-India Highway to enter Myanmar from India. After the Japanese army occupied Xinpingyang, in order to facilitate the transportation of supplies, a mule and horse road was built to lead directly to Myitkyina. Once conquered, it can not only be used as an advance base for the Indian army, but also a small airfield to facilitate supply and transportation and air force activities. Tangcheng's task was to create conditions for the 38th Division of the Indian Army to capture Xinpingyang.

When Pu received this order, not only Tang Cheng was confused, but even Mike was confused. When the direct company left Ledo, the part of the headquarters only asked them to attract the attention of the Japanese army in the area of Magao, and the direct company now not only took the initiative to attract the attention of the Japanese army in Magao, but also killed more than 500 Japanese soldiers. Although this record is not as conspicuous as the 114th Regiment pushing the defensive line to Nanrong River, it can be regarded as a big victory, after all, there are only 300 people in the direct company, why is there no reward, and suddenly changed the original order, what new Pingyang assist the direct company?

Mike didn't understand, Tang Cheng didn't understand even more, Tang Cheng left Mike's bunker in a huff and pushed them to Hou San to get ready to kick out, but Mike was desperately contacting the command headquarters, he wanted to ask clearly. The message that Michael sent desperately was finally sent to Stilwell, in fact, the whole thing was simple to the extreme, originally Stilwell wanted to help the US detachment to attract the attention of the Japanese army in the direction of Ma Gao, but he did not expect that the direct company that he did not place hope on not only completed the task of attracting the Japanese army, but also killed more than 500 Japanese troops in a battle on the red soil slope, and the US army detachment had infiltrated into northern Burma along the way, and the Japanese army in Ma Gao, who was greatly injured, was closed again, and the task of the direct company was actually over. Since the direct company has such combat power, it is a bit too much to say that they are idle on the red clay slope in vain, so Stilwell will order the direct company to transfer to Xinpingyang to assist. This can be regarded as a favor for Mike, Stilwell took a U.S. military unit from Mike at the beginning, Mike is now the commander of the direct company, as long as the direct company is strong enough, Mike also has the opportunity to promote the rank and hold real power.

After figuring out the whole thing, Mike had no reason to complain to Stilwell, as long as he could seize this opportunity, it would no longer be difficult to return to the U.S. Military Observation Mission, and maybe he would be able to take a place in the command of the expeditionary force. "This is a good thing, as long as you can gain a firm foothold in the headquarters, it will be much easier on my side, and I don't have to worry about being put in small shoes by the bigwigs in the headquarters, and then we will be your descendants." Tang Cheng, who returned to the bunker, understood the whole thing, and immediately became happy, with Mike as a backer, Tang Cheng didn't have to worry about someone behind his back to rectify himself and the people in his direct company.

It rained heavily all day, and it was not until it was dark that the rain slowly stopped, so he ordered to stay for one more night, and then set off for New Plains after dawn tomorrow.

The sky had already brightened, but the jungle after the rain was still foggy, making it difficult to see clearly from dozens of meters away. The rock dragon was walking through the mountains and forests with a dozen scouts, although the rain had long since stopped, but everyone was wearing raincoats, because from time to moment there would be droplets of water falling from the canopy of the trees and then down the collar into the clothes, and the mountain wind would blow and chill all over the body. The unsmiling rock dragon walked in the front, his feet were very steady, and he just looked around from time to time.

The company's destination was Sinpingyang, west of the Hukang Valley, where a mixed Japanese-Burmese unit was stationed according to intelligence from the command. The headquarters has ordered the 38th Division to destroy the Japanese-Burmese mixed force entrenched in Xinpingyang, and the company directly under Tang Cheng needs to attack this Japanese-Burmese mixed force from behind to ensure that the 38th Division's attack on Xinpingyang can be carried out smoothly.

Tang Cheng had the latest map made by the command headquarters according to the aerial photography of the aircraft, but the map was dead, but the people were alive, Tang Cheng didn't believe that the Japanese soldiers would be stupid enough to stay where they were and wait for the expeditionary force to go south to kill them, so Tang Cheng sent Dice and Yanlong to each bring a scout team to cover each other and go out of the jungle to search for the exact location of Xinpingyang. As for the 38th Division, which was preparing to advance to Xinpingyang from the direction of the Nanrong River, Zhao Zhi didn't want to have too much to do with them, at least not now.

Xinpingyang is the throat area on the west side of the Hukang Valley, and it is a difficult flat land in the Hukang Valley, surrounded by mountains and mountains. The command has rejected the plan to build an airfield on Hongtupo, and they have taken a fancy to Xinpingyang, when a large number of sappers will build an airfield in Xinpingyang, provided that the 38th Division must first take Xinpingyang.

Entering the jungle during the rainy season in northern Burma was obviously a troublesome task, and the primitive jungle of the Savage Mountains during the rainy season slowed down the pace of the Japanese army, and also troubled the speed of their march in Tangcheng. After only a dozen miles, the scouts were already exhausted, and the muddy mountain road consumed a lot of their bodies. As soon as the mountain wind blew, the body that was wet by the rain felt chills, which made people shrink and shiver. The veterans of Don City have been fine, but the sappers and gunners that Mike brought from Ramgar are a little overwhelmed.

Shaking off the muddy water on his military boots, Tang Cheng turned around to look at the state of his soldiers, and saw that a few guys were already gritting their teeth and holding on, so he simply ordered to rest in place for a while before leaving. I don't know what kind of wind Mike smoked, but he actually selected dozens of strong guys, tied a stretcher with a wooden pole the thickness of his arm, and brought the four M2 heavy machine guns into the woods. After counting the triangular bracket, the M2 heavy machine gun weighing more than 50 kilograms quickly consumed the bodies of these guys, and counting the large number of heavy machine gun bullets, at least more than 100 people in the entire direct company were dragged down by these four heavy machine guns and were about to die.

"Shouldn't you bring a heavy machine gun? How good is it to bury it on the red clay slope first, and can the tired dead and alive be carried into the forest? Even if we encounter the Japanese army, I'm afraid that we won't be able to wait for your heavy machine gun to fire, so we have to retreat, this thing is too cumbersome and will kill people. Tang Cheng tried to take advantage of the short break to persuade Mike to change his mind, but after seeing the power of the heavy machine gun salvo when facing the Kawada Brigade on the Red Clay Slope, Mike put all his thoughts on these four heavy machine guns, and he resolutely would not agree to drop the heavy machine guns.

Tang Cheng had no choice but to give Mike an idea, asking those who carried heavy machine guns to carry the heavy machine guns separately, so that the relative weight would be greatly reduced. The M2 heavy machine gun with the triangular bracket and barrel removed is only more than 30 kilograms, and two strong soldiers can carry it all over the world.

Tang Cheng was in a hurry to get out of the jungle, and Mike also called for taking New Pingyang as soon as possible, so that it would be more likely that he would return to the U.S. Military Observation Mission, but both Mike and Tang Cheng ignored an important issue, that is, the operation to capture New Pingyang was only an unfinalized plan of the command. As the main attacking force, the 38th Division is still chasing the remnants of the Japanese army in the forest, and the Japanese 18th Division is also constantly mobilizing troops to strengthen the defense of the first line of the Nanrong River.
