Although Tang Cheng lacked machine gun firepower, after using mortars to kill the machine gun fire points in the Japanese camp, the Japanese bolt-action rifles could not stop the fire of American guns at all. Often, the surviving Japanese soldiers could draw a bullet back as soon as they fired a bullet, and Tang Cheng's soldiers would even stay in one position and pull the trigger again and again until they had exhausted all 8 rounds in the magazine, and then they would be kicked and beaten by veterans or commanders to change positions.

The sudden attack made the Japanese troops in the camp unprepared, the rapid fire of the mortars had already made them lose their courage, and the next large number of semi-automatic weapons were even more attacked, and they lost their armor and had no chance to fight back. The tents of the Japanese army had been almost destroyed by artillery fire, and the surviving Japanese soldiers could only use the corpses of their comrades as cover, and used the 38 rifles, which were difficult to retreat, to survive and carry out sporadic counterattacks.

Waiting for the snipers to clear the perimeter of the Japanese camp, the surviving Japanese soldiers ushered in their nightmare. Relying on the ultra-long range and accurate shooting skills of sniper rifles, the snipers who hid their bodies can accurately hit the remaining Japanese soldiers in the camp from a few hundred meters away, until they shoot the remaining Japanese soldiers in the camp.

When Tang Cheng stepped into the camp of the Japanese army, the fireworks in the camp had been almost cleaned up, it was not that Tang Cheng was cowardly, he was stopped by Liu Shi and Zhao Liang from moving forward. "The cannonballs on the dog day were too accurate, and the brothers couldn't find half a box of Wen Jiàn or something, and I didn't know if there was anything you wanted." Hou San brought someone to bring a box, which contained some black ash and papers, which seemed to be rescued by Hou San and them from the fire.

Liu Shishi, who was the most dog-legged, found two ammunition boxes for Tang Cheng out of nowhere, and stacked them together to become Tang Cheng's stool, a lame table was placed in front of Tang Cheng, and while others were cleaning the battlefield, Tang Cheng looked patiently at the box of text and paper sent by Hou San. "Stone, you go and get the radio soldiers." After only a few glances, Tang Cheng asked Liu Shishi to call the radio soldiers to come over to his place.

"You immediately send a report to Ledo, saying that the Japanese 18th Division has sent a large number of troops into the Savage Mountain, and it is estimated that the Japanese army wants to block Ledo from entering the jungle in northern Burma, and ask us what to do." After looking at these things sent by Hou San, Tang Cheng was even more sure of his previous speculation that the Japanese army was going to turn Savage Mountain into their ambush ground, and it was clear that they wanted to block the jungle from Ledo Savage Mountain into northern Myanmar.

Although his own company can call for airdrop support, but when it enters the jungle, it does not have this advantage, and this Japanese army's communication relay station is responsible for the communication between the small Japanese troops in the jungle and the Japanese command in northern Burma. The number of an infantry squadron of the Japanese army is more than 180, and the number of more than a dozen Japanese squadrons is more than 2,000 people, and he is only more than 300 people.

It has been several days since they lost contact with Tang Cheng, and Mike, who was anxiously waiting, thought that Tang Cheng and they had entered the jungle and were returning to Ledo, but he didn't expect that the telegram he had just received showed that Tang Cheng and they were still wandering around the periphery of Ma Gao at the moment. After carefully reading the translated message, Mike did not secretly scold Tang Cheng for disobeying orders, but began to worry about the safety of Tang Cheng's more than 300 people. : Mike, what's wrong? What's going on? Huang Hanju, who happened to come to Mike, didn't know it, and he thought that Mike was worried about the newly transferred reinforcements.

"It's Tang, they knocked out a Japanese communication station outside Magao, according to the text of the firefight, the Japanese 18th Division has already sent many small squadron-level troops into the jungle of Savage Mountain, and they may be surrounded by these Japanese troops in the jungle." Mike didn't want to hide it from Huang Hanju, and directly handed the telegram in his hand to Huang Hanju.

"What then?" Although Huang Hanju is now a colonel, he is only a colonel in charge of logistics after all, and he knows very little about things on the battlefield. Knowing that Tang Cheng and they might be surrounded by a large number of Japanese troops in the jungle, Huang Han raised his eyes and became anxious, "Mike, do you want to report this matter to the command and let the command consider canceling the order to transfer Tang Cheng and them back to Ledo?" With only more than 300 men, it was difficult for them to resist the Japanese encirclement in the jungle. ”

Mike also nodded again and again when he heard this, "That's what I mean, the telegram to the command has been sent, but I don't know what those staff officers in the command will say." You know, those who haven't been to the battlefield don't know the dangers of the jungle, and in their eyes, maybe the jungle of Savage Mountain is as safe as their back garden. Mike's self-deprecating complaint resonated with Huang Hanju, and the well-dressed combat staff officers in the headquarters were indeed not good.

Almost exactly as Mike had expected, the operational staff officers of the command, who had never been on the battlefield, paid no attention to the telegram sent by Mike, only emphasizing that Mike urged the detachment in Tangcheng to return to Ledo as much as possible. "These sons of bitches, I knew it was going to be like this, no, I'm going to go to Lamgar myself, I can't watch Don and them being killed by the Japanese in the jungle, I'll go find General Stilwell." Mike drove away in a jeep angrily, Huang Hanju wanted to go with him, but he was left behind by Mike, as a logistics officer, he still has a lot to do.

"Sir, what did Ledo say? Do you want us to go back? Looking at Tang Cheng who received the telegram from a distance, his face was a little bad, and Hou San leaned over and asked cautiously. It had only been a few days since they left the Red Clay Plain, and they had already exchanged fire with the Japanese troops scattered in the jungle many times, which had already proved that Tang Cheng's previous speculation was not wrong, knowing that Tang Cheng was in contact with Ledo for everyone's life, but Hou San didn't want Tang Cheng to befriend those senior officers in the command like this.

"Ledo hasn't given the letter yet, but the command still wants us to return to Ledo according to the original order, my brother-in-law said that Chief Mike has personally gone to Ramgarh to find General Stilwell, but I don't know what Old Man Shi will say." Tang Cheng only knew that Stilwell was an American like Mike, but he had never met the titular commander of the expeditionary force, but Tang Cheng had heard that Stilwell was an old man with half gray hair.

"Otherwise, let's go back, with Wu Shan here, I guess we won't be as troublesome as we were when we went to the forest again. Isn't it just that there are little devils in the forest, what are we doing, just beating little devils. Hou San took out a cigarette and handed it to Tang Cheng, and said with a smile. Put on this military uniform and start to say, the life of the big guy is not his own, where there will be immortals in the war, the dead can only complain about their own bad lives, and the living brothers will always be grateful to you. ”

He lit the cigarette with the match drawn by Hou San, and took a big puff, Tang Cheng threw the cigarette in his hand at his feet, "Japanese cigarettes are not easy to smoke, and there is always a smell of horse dung in my mouth." Tang Cheng threw away the cigarette, but Hou San didn't react at all, just called a few soldiers who smoked, and looked for them for a while before finding Tang Cheng half a pack of American camel cigarettes.

Hou San, who was smiling, helped Tang Cheng light the cigarette again, and still squatted beside Tang Cheng without saying anything and only smoked with his head bored, now Tang Cheng couldn't find anything to change the topic, so he had to frown and stare at Hou San, "Do you know how many of us have died?" Did you know that there were at least 2,000 Japanese soldiers in the woods? Just the 300 of us who fought with others, and if we entered the forest, we might be sent to death. ”

Hou San was still smoking with a smile on his face, just waiting for Tang Cheng's complaints to be finished, Hou San threw away the cigarette butt and stood up. "Me and Dice were originally bandits who only blocked the road and robbed the road to bully the common people, if we hadn't followed you all the way south, where would I have the opportunity to put on this military uniform, maybe we would have died in a mountain den to feed the wolves. We are now wearing military uniforms issued by Americans, using guns issued by Americans, eating canned American food, white noodles, and smoking American cigarettes. ”

"I know that people will die in battle, so why do I and Dice keep following you to fight devils, when we were still in Ledo, the colonel from the command headquarters said that as long as I and Dice follow him to Lamgar, at least give me two of them a company commander each. Then why didn't we go, isn't it because you treat us as your own people, if it's your own people, you shouldn't make it difficult for you, you are just a small company commander now, and you are working hard with those guys in the command headquarters who are full of bad water, and you must be the one who suffers in the end. ”

Tang Cheng looked at Hou San with a surprised face, he never thought that Hou San would say such a thing, in his impression, the only person next to him who could say this was Tan Fei, a former scholar. Knowing that Hou San said this, he didn't want to be punished by his superiors for disobeying military orders, but Tang Cheng really didn't want to watch his soldiers fight to the death with the Japanese army, this was not his own life, this was more than 300 lives of the whole detachment.

"Wait, maybe Chief Mike will go to Ramgarh and convince his superiors to revoke the order, and it's a big deal that we'll return to the Red Clay Plains." Tang Cheng couldn't make a decision in the end, just asked Hou San to pacify the troops, and waited for Mike's news to come before making a decision.
