The encounter with the enemy in the mountain village made Tang Cheng's nerves begin to tense, the closer they got to the red land, the more tense Tang Cheng's heart became, and they had not heard back from the dice that went out to search, Tang Cheng was afraid that a large number of Japanese troops would appear waiting for him on that red land. Waiting for the sound of dice to finally appear in the walkie-talkie, Tang Cheng was relieved when he learned that the scouts who had gone out to search were happy, but he didn't know that the back of his military uniform had already been soaked in cold sweat.

"Immediately send a report to Lamgara, inform the airdrop coordinates to the flight team, and ask them to organize an airdrop of supplies immediately, saying that we have run out of food." Even happier than Tang Cheng was Mike who stayed in Ledo, and there was no news from Tang Cheng for more than ten days, so that Mike, who was waiting for a long time, couldn't eat and couldn't sleep at night. Tang Cheng, who had rushed to the Red Clay Plain after all the hardships, finally used the radio to contact Mike, and Mike, who was overjoyed, rushed to carry out the airdrop of supplies for Tang Cheng and them.

"Great, they've already rushed to that laterite plain, as long as the geological experts sent by the command confirm that the open land is suitable for building an airfield, our mission will be more than half completed." Mike's words made Huang Hanju who was present stunned, why did any address experts come here, when Tang Cheng left, didn't he bring any geological experts?

Xu saw the surprise on Huang Hanju's face, and Mike first lit the cigar in his mouth, and then explained, "If you just build airfields one by one, you only need to confirm the soil structure on the Tang side, and the command is preparing to build a special airfield for the forward base this time to provide air fire support for the entry of large troops into Burma next year." Considering the danger of the jungle in the Savage Mountain, the geological experts mobilized by the command headquarters will be parachuted into the Red Clay Plain with this batch of supplies, and I will inform Tang later by radio. ”

Huang Hanju didn't say anything anymore when he heard this, anyway, it was also airborne, as long as he didn't have to toss back and forth in the forest from Tang Cheng. "Dice, you and Yanlong are divided into two teams, each with a team of people to search 20 kilometers east and south, I want you to make sure that there are no Japanese troops within 20 kilometers of us. If you find Japanese troops, don't alarm them, just note down the number and location, and if you find a Burmese village, you should also note the location and come back to me. Knowing that the headquarters had prepared the airdrop of supplies, Tang Cheng, who was in a good mood, simply distributed the last bit of supplies to the scout team, and arranged for them to immediately search the surroundings.

Dice and Rock Dragon left with the scouts, and of course the rest of the people couldn't be idle, there were no large tools, but each of them had a sapper shovel, which Tang Cheng specially asked Mike to prepare before leaving Ledo. There was a dirt hill about 2 miles from the edge of the jungle, which was where Tang Cheng had stayed before they entered the jungle that day, and Tang Cheng was now going to use this as their temporary station.

The 300 hopeful soldiers began to dig trenches under the command of Don Cheng, and their lone army was prepared to hold on to the area before the large army entered northern Burma, so their camps and positions must be firmly built. The topography of the earth mountain is very suitable for perseverance, but there is a little bit of a bad thing, there is no water source on the earth mountain, in fact, there is no water source in the whole red land. The nearest source of water to them was a small stream not far into the jungle, but Tang Cheng had a good plan for that stream.

"I lack everything now, that is, I don't lack time and manpower, and I can't let them be idle now, these people will make trouble if they are idle. As soon as the position on the dirt hill is completed, I plan to have them divert that stream and let it flow around the dirt hill, so that we will not be short of water. Tang Cheng's plan was to forcibly divert the stream that was originally more than 2 miles away from him, even if he couldn't let the stream really flow around Tushan, then he had to make the stream closer to Tushan.

Digging trenches is nothing to the soldiers of the national army, whether they win or lose the battle, they have dug trenches many times. The lightly armed dice took them a whole day to search for 40 kilometers, and the more than 300 soldiers who remained under the command of Tang Cheng had already dug their positions almost completely, as long as the anti-artillery holes and bunkers needed by the troops were dug in the trenches, the three inner and outer trenches that had been connected together would be considered completely completed.

After nightfall, the radio soldiers who had almost nothing to do all day began to get busy, and from time to time translated messages were transmitted to Tang Cheng, and the soldiers who had worked all day sat around and stared at Tang Cheng, and they all looked forward to the arrival of the airdropped materials soon. Three piles of firewood and grass have been piled up in the open space not far from Tushan, which are ready to provide target guidance to the airdrop of materials at night, as long as the airgroup flies over Tushan, Tang Cheng will order the firewood and grass to be lit to guide the target of the group.

In the anxious waiting of everyone, the sky finally darkened, and in the night, the insects in the grass fell asleep, and without the chirping of the day, the whole laterite plain seemed very silent. After a long wait, the originally excited soldiers began to sit together, and then there began to be a snoring sound, some soldiers couldn't wait to fall asleep, and Tang Cheng, who was completely relieved, was also one of the many people who closed their eyes and took a nap.

It didn't take long for the shouts of the soldiers to suddenly be heard in his ears, and by the time Tang Cheng got up from the trenches, he could already roughly distinguish the dull roar of the air group in his ears. The roar from the air grew louder and louder, quickly overpowering the cheers of the soldiers on the ground. It wasn't until this moment that Tang Cheng was shocked, oh no, this time it was not small fish and shrimp that came, but a huge group of aircraft formations. Tang Cheng is not worried about whether the airdrop of materials will go smoothly now, he is worried about whether such a large-scale combat dispatch will attract the attention of the Japanese army for himself.

Tang Cheng, who was standing in the trench, squinted his eyes and looked up, trying to identify the fighter plane that had flown overhead, but unfortunately it was dark at this time, even though Tang Cheng tried to open his eyes wide, he could only see the flashing indicator lights faintly under the belly of the plane. "Ignition, ignition and signal." The first time I saw the figure of my own fighter plane, many soldiers in the trench joined in the cheers, and some of them waved their arms excitedly and rushed down the dirt mountain to the open field.

"Third brother, take someone down quickly, as soon as the thing lands, extinguish the fire immediately." Tang Cheng in the trench shouted loudly, and after telling Hou San, Tang Cheng, who was still a little uneasy, also took Tan Fei and Liu Shi down the dirt mountain. Three large pyres of firewood had been set up in the field under the hillside, and they were all drenched with kerosene. By the time the roar of the planes in the air was loud enough to be heard on the entire hillside, the pyres on the valley had been completely burned, illuminating the entire valley.

Three transport planes hovered over the hillside, and the soldiers waiting on the ground began to shout and curse, dog, if you want to drop it quickly, if it is discovered by the Japanese army, the old men will drill into the woods again. The hatch of the first transport plane finally opened, and more than a dozen large wooden boxes were dropped into the cabin, and the wooden boxes fell into the field with white umbrella flowers. The second transport plane pulled the rudder and raised the nose, but instead of a wooden box with umbrella flowers, three smaller umbrella flowers popped out of its cabin.

"Hey, it seems to be three people" The dice, who have always had excellent eyesight, looked up at the three small umbrella flowers that had floated over the field, and with the reflection of the fire on the ground, the dice could already tell that it was people and not materials under the parachute. The second transport plane, which only threw three people, lifted the nose and left, and the third transport plane in the back finally dropped several wooden boxes with parachutes again amid the curses of the soldier demon girl, and compared to the wooden boxes dropped by the first plane, the boxes that fell this time were significantly larger.

Without making too many stops, after the three transport planes carried out the airdrop, they just circled the Red Clay Plain with the escort fighters and left. Watching the plane leave, Hou San, who was leading people down the mountain, began to urge his soldiers. "Quick, quick, get the stuff on the ground, and put out the fire when you're done moving the stuff." With a wave of Hou Sansan's hand, more than 300 soldiers poured into the field in unison, heading straight for the wooden boxes that had been lowered with parachutes.

"Hey, can any of you sue me, where is Tang Cheng?" When Hou San and the others rushed into the field, the first guy who descended with a parachute could also get up from the ground. Dozens of guns were raised at the same time, and they were all aimed at this guy who couldn't see his face clearly but had a strange accent. "Hou, it's me, I'm George, tell them to put the gun down, I'm my own person." George, who was pointed at dozens of guns, raised his hands in a panic, and when he saw Hou San coming over, George was relieved.

Hou San has never been accustomed to the custom of hugging Westerners when greeting people, so after Hou San accepted George's friendly hug with a cold face, he sent this guy and the other two people who were airborne to Tang City, and he took people to start collecting the wooden boxes that were airborne. The wooden boxes dropped by the plane are definitely sturdy enough, and some of the wooden boxes are raised to the point where they are specially nailed to the handle, so that only 4 people can carry them away.

After reconfirming that the number of boxes found and the number of umbrella flowers dropped by the air were the same, Hou San ordered the soldiers carrying the boxes to return first, while the rest of the people used the red clay in the field to extinguish the bonfire. Tang Cheng, who had just walked down the dirt mountain, had already seen George, and learned that George was the liaison officer sent by the flight team, Tang Cheng was very happy, no matter what the purpose of George came here, at least he had one more person around him who could contact the flight team at any time.
