George, who already had blind trust in Tang City, repeatedly assured that Tang Cheng would return safely, but he could not match Wallace's forced questioning three times a day and Mike's resentful face, so George had no choice but to reveal to Wallace and Mike the general direction of Tang Cheng after they crossed the river. "Joe, you must know that we are in a group, from the moment you were sent to my joint force as an air service liaison, you had to obey my command, but you hid Tang's whereabouts from me, I absolutely can't forgive you for doing this, never."

Mike clutched his cheeks, which were swollen from burning teeth, and shouted at the aggrieved George, despite the presence of Wallace and the Expeditionary Force Command. "Mike, listen to me, Tang said when he left that the reason why the Japanese army would make a desperate attempt to attack Ledo is that there are spies of the Japanese army in Ledo Town, so the time and whereabouts of their departure cannot be revealed, in case the Japanese army knows, Tang and they may be in danger." George poured out the reason for Mike's aggrieved pour, but secretly squeezed his eyes at Mike while the others were not paying attention.

Hearing George say that Tangcheng suspected that there were Japanese spies in Ledo Town, everyone present was taken aback, and hurriedly pulled George to ask carefully. Although Tang Cheng crossed the river with a team of people to clear the Japanese army, several batteries on the periphery of Ledo were still under the control of the Japanese army, and even Mike, who had just rushed back to Ledo, was almost bombed. If the Japanese army planted spies in the town, it would be dangerous for those of them who remained in Ledo, and they had all seen the battlefield by the Ledo River.

Although Mike didn't understand what kind of eyes George was squeezing his eyes, Mike was not a good man and a woman, and Wallace and his group were pulling George to ask carefully, and Mike was also blindly involved, anyway, he didn't waste his strength and didn't have to spend money to speak. "It's just a suspicion that when we were dealing with the Japanese army in northern Burma, we met Burmese people who led the way for the Japanese army. There are also quite a few Burmese people here in Ledo, so it cannot be ruled out that there are Japanese spies among them. George naturally said a lot according to Tang Cheng's explanation, which scared Wallace and those guys from the headquarters a lot.

"When I came, the training on Lamgar's side had just begun, and many troops were only empty shelves, and it was obviously impossible for Lambgar to send reinforcements over, at least not in a short time." When everyone had said almost, Mike spoke, "I only brought 200 American soldiers, and it is unlikely that people will want to clear out the Japanese troops on the periphery of Ledo, so I applied to the Ramgar command to form a Sino-US joint force, although the headquarters said that the HIA did not agree, but we can at least integrate the defeated troops here in Ledo and organize them to train first." ”

Wallace wasn't very interested in Mack's Sino-American joint forces, and he didn't involve the hundreds of British soldiers he commanded anyway, but the group of Nationalist officers sent by the expeditionary force command was different. I know that Mike returned to Ledo not only to bring 200 American soldiers, but also to bring a large number of American equipment, I heard that the number of such American weapons and equipment is not even very large on the Lambgar side, if it can be mixed into this Sino-US joint force, it will be much more bullish than in the national army.

"Of course there is no problem with this, Ledo still has hundreds of stragglers of our national army here, as long as the colonel needs it, we can complete the assembly of these stragglers of the national army at any time." The colonel of the Nationalist Army, led by the Nationalist Army, began to get close to Michael, and he had already regarded the rout of the expeditionary force stranded in Ledo as a bargaining chip in his hands, and thought of using this to negotiate terms with Mike so that he could transfer himself into this joint force.

George pulled Mike aside and whispered a few words, and Mike said with a smile, "The number of my joint force is tentatively 500, including 200 American soldiers and 300 Chinese soldiers. Although there are a lot of Chinese soldiers here in Ledo, it is far from enough for the number I need, so I will apply to transfer a group of new recruits from Kunming to Ledo for training, and all the training instructors will be served by our American army, so that they can get familiar with American equipment and weapons in the shortest possible time. ”

Mike and George were here and the officers from the headquarters were chatting with the clouds, and Tang Cheng, who had cleared two groups of Japanese troops in a row, had returned to Ledo with people the same way, and learned that Mike had come to Ledo with people and materials, and Tang Cheng didn't have time to change his military uniform, so he couldn't wait to find Mike. "Don, I've done what I said, it's up to you to do the rest." After hugging Tang Cheng, Mike squeezed his eyes at Tang Cheng, suggesting that Tang Cheng should beware of those guys from the Expeditionary Force Headquarters.

Tang Cheng smiled slightly, but he didn't pay attention to the few officers of the national army who had been staring at him, but went straight to Wallace. "Mr. Colonel, all the soldiers you lent me have come back alive, and this is the information we have obtained after reconnoitring the forts around Ledo, and I think it should be useful for your British troops to recover those forts." Tang Cheng took out a folded piece of paper and handed it to Wallace. "It's not that we don't want to take those batteries, it's because the ammunition supply can't keep up, and we don't have heavy firepower weapons, so we can only reconnoiter and retreat."

Wallace took the piece of paper and expressed his gratitude to Tang Cheng, who only brought a few dozen routed troops across the river to pursue the Japanese army, and Wallace did not have much hope for Tang Cheng's trip. "However, we still gained something this time, not only figuring out the movements of the Japanese troops on the battery, but also killing two groups of about 70 Japanese soldiers in succession. The loot will then be returned to Ledo, and I think it will help you. As Tang Cheng spoke, he quietly gestured to Wallace, who then nodded at Tang Cheng with a smile on his face.

Tang Cheng first talked to Mike as soon as he came in, and then found Wallace, only turning a blind eye to them who came from the national army, even if he annoyed the officers from the national army from the headquarters. "Tang Cheng, you are just a small captain, no matter how capable you are, you are still a member of our national army. We, the people sent by the headquarters, are standing in front of you, can't you see what? Or do you think our officials are not big enough to talk to you? The colonel of the national army, who was full of resentment, almost took out his gun and took Tang Cheng on the spot, but he also knew that the relationship between this Tang Cheng and these big noses was not bad.

Faced with the accusation of the colonel of the national army, Tang Cheng just smiled, took the cigarette handed by George and took a puff, and then said, "Sir, you have figured things out first, and then we will talk." Strictly speaking, I am not even a soldier of your expeditionary force, and my current identity is only the stationmaster of the Kunming Dabanqiao Wounded Reception Station, which is under the control of the Southwest Agency. If you don't believe me, go back to Lamgarh and check to see if what I say is true. ”

Tang Cheng's calmness and rhetoric made these officers from the headquarters stunned, could it be that this kid is really not from the expeditionary force? "Don't keep staring at me, I'm really not a soldier of your expeditionary force, my brother-in-law is a logistics adjutant in the military headquarters of the Fifth Army, and he is not in good health, so I brought a few brothers from the shelter to Burma to take care of him, and I didn't take up the establishment and food of your expeditionary force at all." Tang Cheng took it into his pocket for a long time, and found a certificate issued by Huang Hanju from the Southwest Administration when he left Kunming.

"You guys take a good look, this can be stamped with the big seal of the Southwest Agency, we are just wounded soldiers who were ordered to go out on business, and we are going to return to Kunming after the injury is healed, so you really can't control me." Tang Cheng didn't expect the certificate he came up with to make any difference, he just couldn't get used to the faces of these guys, so he wanted to use this to give the other party a problem. The certificate was indeed stamped with the big seal of the Southwest Agency, and he didn't believe that the other party dared to take this certificate in front of so many people.

The certificate Tang Cheng took out made the officers sent by the headquarters shut up in unison, and this feeling was like eating a good meal, but being told that there were worms in the food they ate. George and Mike had been snickering, they didn't expect Tang Cheng to be so disgraceful to these officers from the expeditionary force headquarters, but since Tang Cheng had already had a stalemate with these guys, Mike didn't care about taking the opportunity to fall into the ground.

Huang Hanju, the former deputy director of logistics of the Southwest Agency, has been transferred to serve as the logistics director of the Sino-US Joint Force, and 12 people below Tang Cheng, the former head of the Kunming Dabanqiao Wounded Shelter Station, have been transferred to the Sino-US Joint Force at the same time." What Mike took out made the officers of the national army dumbfounded, and they couldn't figure out why this big nose named Mike would help Tang Cheng so much.

The words had already been made clear, and the few officers of the national army from the headquarters naturally had no need to continue to stay, and then ignored Wallace's retention, and left Ledo on the train that day. "Can they not go, I still have a warrant for the conscription of the expeditionary force stragglers on the spot, and all the officers are appointed by me. If they stay, they will not be transferred to my joint forces, and it is better to go back to Lambgarh and be their free master than to spend it here. McHaha laughed and poured out the reason, and George and Tang Cheng, who were listening, laughed too.

"Don, when I left Ramgarh this time, I gave a military order in front of General Stilwell, and if the combined forces did not play their due role, neither the military nor the bigwigs in the US Congress, I would have no way to explain it. So, I put all my hopes in you, and you must not disappoint me. McNa's slightly heavy tone made Tang Cheng straighten his face, and at the same time, he felt that his mood was much heavier.
