Mike has never been so excited as now, just now I heard Cai Jincheng talk about the approximate value of jadeite, when he thought that a fist-sized piece of fine jadeite could be exchanged for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of pounds, Mike was so excited that his heart even stopped. In this era when the general weekly salary in the United States is only a dozen dollars, being able to have tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of pounds is obviously a huge amount of money.

Mike who took the train to Ledo couldn't wait to see Dontown, but unfortunately the speed of the train was limited, and although Mike looked at his watch from time to time, the train to Ledo was still so slow. Compared with Mike and Cai Jincheng sitting in the officer's car, the dozens of Mike in the stuffy tank car at the back of the train brought reinforcements from Ramgardi were not so comfortable.

The big-nosed British commander was an extremely stubborn guy, and he always emphasized the so-called class distinction, so as officers, Mike and Cai Jincheng could take the officer's car, while the reinforcements that Mike brought could only stay in the stuffy tank car that was temporarily added. It was not yet dawn when the train left Ramgarh, and it was pitch black outside the carriage all the time, and the reinforcements in the stuffy tank car tried to look out through the air vents of the carriage, but the dark sky outside swallowed the earth, and there was not a trace of light to be seen.

Dozens of reinforcements crowded the stuffy tank wagon, making the air in the carriage terrible, and everywhere was filled with the pungent smell of urine, sweat, and feet. This is a stuffy tank wagon, and the replenishers don't know if there are cars like theirs, and there are any more behind them, but they know that they are going to be transferred to the front. It's about to go to the front line, these young people who left home just to fight devils are a little excited, and only a few veterans who have returned from injuries sitting together show disdain.

The stuffy tank carriages were filled with dozens of reinforcements, and although they were not yet issued with guns and equipment, they were all dressed in freshly issued American military uniforms. Although they knew that they might be going to the front, they could only follow the train to that in a daze, and they could only follow the train to that in a daze. The train kept clattering, and only when water and coal were added along the way, did a few heavily armed and grim-faced soldiers open the carriage doors, temporarily breathe them, and change their commodes by the way.

Zhang Xiaoshan, who was sitting against the wall of the carriage, took out a compressed biscuit from his pocket and took a small bite, feeling a little gagged, so he took out the kettle and drank a few sips. A piece of compressed biscuits went down to his stomach, Zhang Xiaoshan felt that his stomach felt better, and when he got on the bus from Ramga, they were each given two packets of compressed biscuits and a pot of cold water. It's been a day, and Zhang Xiaoshan's compressed biscuits still have a whole pack left, but the water in the kettle has been drunk.

"Hey, Xiaoshan, where the hell are we going?" Tian Dazhu, who had just woken up, touched Zhang Xiaoshan beside him with his bent knees. The two of them were sent to Lamgar by plane, and they were also assigned to the same training camp and at the same time received artillery training. The difference is that Zhang Xiaoshan is a gunner, while Tian Dazhuang, who is illiterate but strong and strong, can only be an auxiliary gunner and a baggage soldier. However, this does not hinder the relationship between the two, the fist in the army is a qiē, Tian Dazhuang can fight and be beaten, and he helped Zhang Xiaoshan teach those veterans who bullied them a lesson during the whole training.

Tian Dazhuang is a muddy person, everything is spoken with his fists, and he beat the class almost all over during the whole training. Although Tian Dazhuang was born as a farmer, it doesn't mean that he is stupid, Tian Dazhuang is still very polite to someone like Zhang Xiaoshan, who is literate and hyphenation. Unlike Tian Dazhuang, who was arrested and joined the army, Zhang Xiaoshan volunteered to join the army and came to Lamga for training. Because of the escape from the war with his family fled all the way to Kunming, Zhang Xiaoshan has always had the idea of killing the enemy to serve the country, knowing that the expeditionary force in India is recruiting new soldiers, Zhang Xiaoshan went to register without telling his family, and when his relatives at home knew about it, Zhang Xiaoshan had joined the army in a daze.

was sent to Ramgar by plane, and was trained by a blonde foreigner for a month, Zhang Xiaoshan was originally looking forward to killing devils with an American gun. didn't expect that he had become an artilleryman, and now he was stuffed into a stuffy tanker like Tian Dazhuang, I don't know what the hell he was thrown into. "Don't be foolish, when the train stops, we'll know where it is. But the train went all the way south, and I think we should have been sent to the India-Burma border. Zhang Xiaoshan did not ignore his friend's inquiry, but informed the other party of the results he had figured out.

Although Zhang Xiaoshan's voice was not very loud, it also made a few veterans who were entrenched in the corner of the carriage hear it clearly, and several veterans looked at Zhang Xiaoshan a few times in surprise, and saw that the other party was not a person with great skills, so they directly ignored Zhang Xiaoshan, who looked weak. These veterans who returned from injury were taking the train when they left Leduo that day, and they were naturally familiar with some of the terrain between Leduo and Ramga, and when the train stopped to ventilate, the veterans were already sure that they were going to Lieduo again, and Zhang Xiaoshan, a recruit, could judge that the train was all the way south to the border, and I have to say that this recruit still has some ability.

"It's here, it's here, it's time to get off, it's time for everyone to sleep, the train has stopped, someone is tapping the carriage with the butt of a gun, and the two soldiers who look anxious simply open the door of the stuffy tank car and jump onto the carriage, kicking the still sleepy reinforcements with their military boots. The reinforcements who were thrown out of the car like chickens have not fully woken up, the timid ones are just timidly huddled together, and the bold guys are looking around at the surrounding environment. Zhang Xiaoshan, who has always been thoughtful, was looking at the freight cars in front of him, and saw a group of dark-faced Indians unloading the trucks, and successively moving down a lot of wooden boxes, Zhang Xiaoshan guessed that those boxes must contain weapons and ammunition.

As soon as Mike and Cai Jincheng in the officer's compartment got down to the platform, a jeep drove from outside the railway station, and the roar of the jeep and the sound of the horn attracted the reinforcements to look at it in unison. "Didn't you say you didn't need to replenish the troops? Why did you bring dozens more? Tang Cheng, who was driving himself, pushed open the door from the jeep and walked down, first hugged Mike, and then shook hands with Cai Jincheng to say hello, but Tang Cheng was a little surprised to learn that the dozens of reinforcements on the platform were for himself.

Like many expeditionary force officers Zhang Xiaoshan they had seen during their training in Ramgarh, Tang Cheng was also wearing a U.S. military uniform, but Tang Cheng's pistol was only loosely pinned to his waist, and a dagger was inserted in his shiny military boots, coupled with Tang Cheng's shiny bald head, the whole person looked more like a bandit than an officer. Mike, who couldn't laugh or cry, first stretched out his hand and knocked on Tang Cheng's bald head, then pointed to Zhang Xiaoshan and said, "These are good artillery and sappers, which I specially came to supplement you from that old guy Stilwell, but I don't want you to use them to fight the Japanese army to consume cannon fodder." ”

Hearing that Mike said that these supplementary soldiers were all artillery and engineers, Tang Cheng turned around and looked at Zhang Xiaoshan and them a few more times, and then gestured to Liu Shishi, who was still sitting in the jeep, who could only slowly get out of the jeep very reluctantly. "Are there any of you who are leading the way? The non-commissioned officer will do it, and he will come out and reply" The lazy Liu Shishi was wearing a military uniform and shirt while looking at the quail-like reinforcements. Seeing that no one took care of him, Liu Shishi stepped forward and reached out to play with Zhang Xiaoshan, who was obviously small in the queue, this thing is only 18 or 19 years old, although he is the same size as himself, but Liu Shishi concluded that Zhang Xiaoshan has never been on the battlefield and has never killed anyone.

Tian Dazhuang saw that his friend was pulled out of the queue by Liu Shishi, so he wanted to stretch out his hand to stop him, but the rank of second lieutenant on the collar of Liu Shishi's military uniform made him have to stop his movements. Tian Dazhuang, who was born in a peasant and was illiterate, was not beaten by officers in Ramga, he was afraid of officers from the bottom of his bones, so when he found out that this small-looking boy was an officer, Tian Dazhuang wisely stopped his action of wanting to push Liu Shishi away.

"Stone, I'll ask you to take them back to the barracks, and you won't leave." Liu Shishi specially pulled out Zhang Xiaoshan, who looked at the small Zhang Xiaoshan from the queue, originally only wanted to act as a big clove of garlic in front of these new reinforcements, but was disturbed by Tang Cheng, who was standing in the jeep, so he had to command Zhang Xiaoshan with a cold face and they lined up, got out of the train station and went straight to the barracks by the river.

"Look, this is a good thing I got from Stilwell from an acquaintance in Tongguò before I left Ramgar, and this old man is probably insane." The order that Mike told Tang Cheng was basically the same as the news brought by Huang Hanju yesterday, so Tang Cheng was not surprised, but it was a piece of information that Mike later took out that surprised Tang Cheng. Tang Cheng only glanced at it a few times, and was also stunned by the content of the intelligence, Stilwell, this old man, seemed to be really going crazy.

Stilwell not only arranged for the commandos to infiltrate and destroy the Japanese army's logistical supply lines, but also specially formulated a plan for a counteroffensive against northern Burma. Stilwell planned to send elite troops from Lido through the Savage Mountains, first occupying the New Plains and the area east of the Tanai River, and then establishing offensive starting positions and logistics bases on the spot. The follow-up New First Army then climbed the cross-country mountains, directly broke through the Hukang River Valley and the Menggong River Valley with powerful firepower and outflanking tactics, seized Myitkyina, a key place in northern Burma, and finally achieved the goal of connecting the Yunnan-Burma Highway in Yunnan.
