This short battle had long since ended, and all the officers, including the American officers, were now gathered around Mack, and there was only one reason for their heated discussion, the last three surviving members of the 114th Regiment search party insisted that a few hills away from here was a Japanese army encamped. Tang Cheng did not participate in the discussion, but squatted quietly to the side alone and smoked, his mind still flashed the cry of the young officer of the 114th Regiment Search Team when he was dying, "Kill those little devils, you want to avenge us." ”

The young officer of the 114th Regiment who died on the river beach didn't look very big, Tang Cheng estimated that the person was about the same age as himself, and this person who was supposed to sit in the classroom died in a foreign country in a blink of an eye, which Tang Cheng couldn't accept for a while. Mike tried to persuade the American detachment to cooperate with him to destroy the Japanese army who were camping, saying that once the Japanese army had built fortifications in front, it would be equivalent to the Japanese 18th Division having an outpost, and when the troops of the expeditionary force counterattacking Burma entered the jungle, they would inevitably encounter a strong counterattack by the Japanese army.

The people in the American detachment did not agree with Mike's persuasion, and they rigidly believed that their mission was to go to northern Burma to cut off the Japanese supply line, and these Japanese troops in the woods were not their mission at all. "Don't fight anymore, you continue to walk towards Magao, I'll take 100 people over to have a look, if there's a chance, I'll beat them, if not, I'll chase you." Mike's argument finally broke out in Tang Cheng, who was already upset, Tang Cheng was not Mike, so naturally there was no need to be kind to the guys in these American detachments.

Seeing this, Mike hurriedly stretched out his hand and pulled Tang Cheng to the side, and asked in a low voice, "You are stupid, the people of the 114th regiment said that the Japanese army over there looked like there was a squadron, and a squadron of the Japanese army had at least 150 people, and you only brought 100 people, and you were not their opponent at all." Tang Cheng knew that Mike said this for his own sake, but Tang Cheng was an extremely stubborn person, and in a blink of an eye, seeing the schadenfreude in the eyes of those American officers, Tang Cheng made up his mind.

"The standard configuration of a squadron of the Japanese army is 180 people, which is equivalent to a reinforced company of your national army, so that if the Japanese squadron is in your country, it is enough to drive a regiment of your national army to run all over the ground. When the search team of the 114th Regiment found them, they had already built fortifications, whether they were well armed or not, they could only be defended by strong fortifications, and if you wanted to eat them, you had to weigh your own teeth. You only have 100 men, and your strongest firepower is just two light machine guns and 2 bazookas. After Mike finished speaking, Hou San and the others who gathered around were silent.

According to the firepower configuration of Tang City when they were in Ledo, they had heavy weapons such as heavy machine guns, mortars, and bazookas, and in order not to affect the speed of the march in the jungle, they did not bring heavy weapons when they left Ledo. "It's a trouble, we can't get in touch with the 114th regiment." When Hou San frowned, the deep lines in his head were even deeper, and the signal corps of the 114th Regiment Search Team with a radio station was beaten into mud by bullets on the river beach.

"Or ...... Let's send someone to escort the three of them back first, maybe the other search troops of the 114th Regiment will be contacted halfway? Tan Fei hesitated, he didn't want to say much, but he couldn't stand Mike's continuous glances.

"No way!" Tang Cheng scolded with a smile, "When we contacted the 114th Regiment, everything was cold, when we went south, only a dozen people dared to enter the Japanese army's munitions stronghold and turn over the river and the sea, a guerrilla unit on the Eighth Road dared to hit the devil's watchtower, we are still a regular army equipped with American weapons, is it not as good as a guerrilla force of others." Tang Cheng's words made Tan Fei lower his head, he had also participated in those battles at the beginning.

Looking around at Hou San and the others who came around, Tang Cheng pretended to smile easily, "I didn't say that I had to fight to the death with the Japanese army, I just said that I would decide what to do when the time comes, we can't watch the people of the 114th Regiment die and be indifferent." It is unlikely that they will be annihilated, but we can lure the Japanese out to fight a mobile war with them as we did when we went south, as long as the Japanese army is out of the fortifications they built, it may not be our opponent. Mike tried to dissuade him, but was stopped by Tang Cheng.

"Mike, don't you know what I'm capable of? You can rest assured, I'm not a fool, if I really don't have a chance, I won't exchange fire with the Japanese army. Tang Cheng patted Mike on the shoulder, signaling that the other party didn't have to worry. The news that Tang Cheng was going to send 100 people to fight with the Japanese army was spread by Hou San and others, and the veterans under Tang Cheng had already stood up straight, hoping that Tang Cheng could see him, and then take himself to fight the Japanese army.

Only 100 people were needed, and on the premise of not affecting the troops to continue to march south, Tang Cheng drew 100 people from his 300 men, but troublesome things followed. Hou San and they all want to follow Tang Cheng to fight devils, but if they all follow, what will happen to the remaining 200 people? Without Tang Cheng and Hou San, Mike couldn't control the remaining 200 people, especially Wu Shan, who had been serving as a guide, and several Burmese natives were unwilling to deal with these Americans.

"Third brother, you leave with the stones and hair, and I'll just bring the dice and glasses, otherwise Wu Shan and a few of them won't be able to control it." Tang Cheng thought about it, but decided to take the dice and Tan Fei out by himself, leaving Hou San and Liu Shishi and a few of them to cooperate with them. Tang Cheng is the company commander, and Hou San and they have long been accustomed to obeying Tang Cheng's orders, even if Hou San and they are still a little reluctant in their hearts, they have not spoken out against Tang Cheng's decision.

After the troops crossed the river beach, Tang Cheng separated from Mike with the selected hundred people, and the three surviving soldiers of the 114th Regiment became Tang Cheng's guides. After separating from Mike and them, Tang Cheng did not urge his soldiers to speed up, but after identifying the direction, he kept moving at a constant speed, and at their current speed, they arrived at the valley mentioned by the 114th Regiment search team, and it was just getting dark. The brutal training of the US military instructors is now showing results, and they have already arrived at the designated place when it is just dark.

The soldiers who were finally able to stop to rest and catch their breath were divided into several piles to rest, and without Tang Cheng's order, no fire could be lit, so everyone could only eat biscuits and canned food with cold water. "Sir, what are we going to do...... The donkey who pulls the mill also feeds some water to the loose chew head from time to time. A crooked veteran complained quietly, his face covered with sweat and mud ditches, and the others were naturally no better.

"Stop the, I'm afraid the devil won't hear it, right? I haven't lived enough! The dice suddenly turned around and scolded in a suppressed voice, and the veterans sitting around looked at each other, and they didn't dare to make any more sounds. This place is not far from the Japanese army, and if they are discovered by the Japanese scouts, the only thing that awaits them is a death battle.

The sky had just darkened, and the moon had not yet come out, but the lights scattered in the valley in front of them had already provided convenience for Tang Cheng and them. When Tang Cheng and Mark separated, Yan Long had to follow Tang Cheng in a hurry, but Tang Cheng had no choice but to take Yan Long with him, and it was Yan Long and another veteran scout who would follow Tang Cheng to observe closely. It was already very close to the valley, and the unbridled laughter of the Japanese soldiers in the valley and the aroma of wine and food wafted in the wind, which made the three Tang Cheng people who were empty in their stomachs very unhappy, and they couldn't wait to solve the Japanese soldiers in the valley with one impact, and then sat there eating meat and drinking wine.

Last year's victory in Burma, combined with the fortifications built in front of the position, was enough to make the Japanese in the valley slack, and they could not have imagined that a group of enemy troops armed to the teeth had gone around the rear of the valley that they had not guarded against. After staring at the lights in the valley for a while, Tang Cheng and the three exchanged glances, and then Tang Cheng made a gesture forward, signaling to continue crawling forward. The three men slowly climbed down the hill until they reached a tall grass that was less than 50 meters away from a fortification erected by the Japanese army.

In front of the fortifications, two Japanese sentries were talking, vaguely Japanese seemed to be complaining about something, the cigarette butts in their hands were flashing, and their rifles were placed in the fortifications at any time, and the bayonets on the rifles reflected the cold light in the starlight. Yan Long's eyes were also refracting the cold light, he stretched out his hand and pulled out his bayonet, and when he saw the Japanese soldiers, he couldn't control himself, but fortunately, Tang Cheng glared at Yan Long in time, and motioned to the two of them to monitor the sentry in sign language.

After lying in the grass for a while, the three of Tang Cheng moved again, and along the half-human-high grass, the three of Tang Cheng slowly moved to a place less than 30 meters away from the Japanese fortification, and began to observe the situation of the Japanese troops in the valley under the cover of a shrub. The lights were lit in the valley, but there were not many Japanese troops sitting around the campfire, but the three of Tang Cheng could not determine how many Japanese troops were in the valley, so Tang Cheng had to turn his attention to the Japanese bunkers and fortifications that he could see.

The barrels of the guns of Yan Long and the veteran scouts were aimed at the two Japanese sentries in the fortifications, and the safety of the weapons had been opened, once they were discovered by the Japanese army, Yan Long and the veteran scouts around him would shoot together to protect Tang Cheng's retreat. About an hour later, the rising moon helped Tang Cheng, who began to draw a map of the Japanese army's position in a small book by moonlight, and recorded in detail the distribution of Japanese firepower and fortifications. The rustling sound of the pencil rubbing against the paper was thrilling in the quiet of the night, and the two Japanese sentries not far away suddenly stopped talking, and looked over in unison, as if they had heard something.
