"No, absolutely not, your detachment is only 200 people, I can't let you go on an adventure with 200 people." Knowing that Tang Cheng was determined to enter Savage Mountain with 200 people from the national army detachment, Mike immediately shook his head and refused. When he took over this task in Ramgarh, he gritted his teeth and stiffened down, originally he was too little for the entire combined force of more than 400 people, Tang Cheng would say that he would only bring 200 people into the Hukang Valley, and Mack simply thought that this was a fantasy myth.

"Uncle Mack, you look at me, you look at me." Tang Cheng reached out and grabbed Mike, who kept pacing, staring into the other party's eyes without blinking. "Uncle Mack, on the way back, you saw our combat effectiveness, and there were only a dozen of us at that time. But you see, I now have 200 men under my command, 200 elite soldiers using all-American equipment, and air support as you mentioned. Could it be that you don't have confidence in the American-style equipment you bring with you? Or is all air support you are talking about? ”

"At that time, I was injured in Xiaojieling and lost contact with the large army, there were only two people with me at that time, and then we crossed the river all the way south, and continued to kill the Japanese army all the way to the south, and when we arrived in Kunming, I already had more than a dozen brothers with me who could live and die with me. When I left Mandalay, too, I had less than ten men with me, but when I met you, I had dozens of men under me, and if it weren't for the supplies and ammunition, I might have been able to make it to Ledo alive with many more. ”

"With your air support, the supplies and ammunition that plagued us before are no longer a problem, as long as there is enough ammunition and provisions, do you think Savage Mountain can trap me? Since none of this is a problem, why don't you agree that I should set out to explore the way first? The rainy season in Burma is over, and if we don't seize this opportunity, perhaps the Japanese troops in the Hukang Valley will seize this opportunity to cross the Savage Mountains and march towards Ledo, you know, the Japanese are very cunning. ”

Mike didn't want to agree with Tang Cheng's plan, but he was moved by Tang Cheng's words. If Shun Lì is implemented, the combined forces will be equivalent to opening up an airborne field suitable for carrying out leapfrog jumping tactics in the Hukang Valley, and even if the Japanese army drives into the Savage Mountain, the Japanese army will not be able to prevent the command headquarters from carrying out the airdrop of troops and materials to the Hukang Valley.

After hesitating repeatedly, Mike could only agree to Tang Cheng's request, but the staffing of Tang Cheng's national army detachment had been expanded from 200 to a full 400 by Mike. Except for the remaining personnel who left some of the guards in the camp to continue to receive reinforcements, all the reinforcements who had been trained would follow into Savage Mountain, Tang Cheng did not object to this, he would not feel that he had too many soldiers under his command.

With Mike's consent, Tang Cheng began to divide the forces that had suddenly doubled in size according to his own ideas. "Dice, these 30 snipers are usually under your command, once you start fighting with the Japanese army, the snipers will be dispersed according to the squad formation. The scout team was handed over to Yanlong, the number of people was tentatively set at 30, and the rest of the people were divided into 6 squads according to 50 people per team, and the extra 40 people formed a company. Scout squads are equipped with carbines and submachine guns, walkie-talkies and radios, while other combat squads and companies are equipped with rifles, carbines, bazookas, machine guns, walkie-talkies, and companies are equipped with two radios. ”

As the first unit to enter the Hukang Valley, Tang Cheng looted almost all the walkie-talkies and radios in the joint forces, and the smooth flow of communication was very important, and Tang Cheng, who was constantly fleeing from the Japanese pursuit in the jungles of northern Burma, had long realized this. "You don't need to stay long for ammunition, just equip each person with a base number, and bring more medicine and food. Before we get out of Savage Mountain, let's not want to get airdrop support, there is no suitable venue for airdrop in the forest, and it may be cheaper to throw things down. ”

The troops began to make preparations for departure according to Tang Cheng's orders, but Tang Cheng began to look through all the maps and materials he could find, and he was determining the most suitable route. Tang Cheng had already thought of a suitable place for building an airport, which was the red earth before he entered Savage Mountain that day. That large area of red earth was full of open land, and Tang Cheng knew that the red soil was full of gravel, and it was the perfect place to build an airport.

"It's already decided?" When Huang Hanju, who rushed to hear the news, found Tang Cheng, the latter was lying on his stomach on a table full of maps to confirm the route of the march. When he first saw Tang Cheng in Macheng, Huang Hanju knew that Tang Cheng was a restless person, but he didn't expect that Tang Cheng would decide to take his 400 men into the Hukang Valley alone. "How sure are you?" knew that he couldn't persuade Tang Cheng to change his mind, but Huang Hanju was still unwilling to try.

"Brother-in-law, it's not easy to answer what you asked, things on the battlefield are changing rapidly, maybe I can say that I am very sure now, but when I really get out of the Savage Mountain, maybe I won't even have a point." Tang Cheng straightened up and looked at Huang Hanju with a nervous face. From Huang Hanju's expression, Tang Cheng saw not only nervousness, but also Huang Hanju's concern for himself, which is the concern that only people who really regard themselves as family members, just like Robert in the past.

"Bastard, if you don't know something, you dare to go to Mike and pat your chest and boast about Haikou, you are in a hurry to die." Tang Cheng's answer aroused the anger in Huang Hanju's heart, and he directly smashed his cloth soft military hat on Tang Cheng's head. "When I left home, your sister said that she wanted me to take care of you, but now that you are like this, why do you tell me to go back? I know that you are very good at fighting, but the Japanese army is not vegetarian, I have never walked through the Savage Mountain, and I know the danger in it, why are you not going to die like this? ”

Tang Cheng, who was smashed on the head by Huang Hanju with a military hat, not only was not annoyed, but picked up the military hat that fell on the ground and handed it back to Huang Hanju, who was sulking, and deliberately approached Huang Hanju with a hippie smile and took out a cigarette and handed it to the other party. "Brother-in-law, I know what you said, I know that you are worried about me, and I also know that Sister Ah is also worried about me. But you also have to believe in my ability, I crossed the river to the south, and the danger along the way was not much less than this time, then I didn't see you alive with all my beards and tails, this time I took a whole 400 people, you can rest assured. ”

Huang Hanju, who was already lighting a cigarette, glanced at Tang Cheng angrily, he knew that Tang Cheng's ability to fight was not bad at all, otherwise he would not have experienced so many vicious battles and survived, but now after all, he was alone in the territory controlled by the Japanese army, and Huang Hanju's heart still had no bottom. "Look at it, what are the shortcomings of your side, I am now in charge of the material mess, if you lack something, go to me, why can't you lack your things." Huang Hanju failed to convince Tang Cheng, so he could only leave with grievances, and Tang Cheng watched Huang Hanju's jeep leave his camp before he went back to continue to designate his marching route.

Tang Cheng did not sue Huang Hanju, he took the initiative to ask for the early entry into the Hukang Valley There was other deep meaning, not that Tang Cheng was deliberately guarding against Huang Hanju, but because this matter was completely Tang Cheng's own thoughts. After leaving Shanghai a few years ago, Tang Cheng has experienced too many things, and the ignorant teenager has become a soldier, and he finally understands that it is not easy to live in this world. If you want to live well, only money is not enough, and you must have a good backer, otherwise Huang Hanju would not have encountered the matter of being transferred to the expeditionary force.

The national army is too bad, this is the consensus of almost everyone, Tang Cheng is naturally not excluded, the only person he can rely on now is Mike, although he and the people of the Huang family already have the so-called American passport, but a few people in Kunming City disappeared for no reason, as inconspicuous as a drop of water in the sea. Only by hugging Mike's thighs can he and the Huang family have a good life, Tang Cheng already knows that Mike intends to develop in the army, and the Sino-US joint force is just a test of Mike's waters, so Tang Cheng must help Mike achieve this wish.

Only when Mike has a firm foothold in the army can he be protected by Mike until the end of the war and the ordeal is over. There may be too many variables and dangers in advancing alone, and Tang Cheng also knows that he is fighting for his life, with the lives of himself and his 400 men. But now that the shape is forcing Tang Cheng to do this, the senior officials in the command seem to be a little impatient with Mike, especially Huang Hanju said that the man named Stilwell has scolded Mike many times, and if Mike's joint force plan runs aground, the first person to be stabbed may be his disrespectful commander.

Wealth and danger are sought, this is the first sentence that dice often hang on their lips, and now, Tang Cheng agrees with the dice. Once his national army detachment advances into the Hukang Valley and opens up a suitable place for building an airfield, Mike will no longer be passive in front of the high-ranking officials in the headquarters, and if he is lucky enough to defeat several Japanese troops one after another, maybe Mike's military rank will be promoted, and even his power will be greater, so that his small life will be smoother and smoother.

These are Tang Cheng's selfishness, he didn't even tell Hou San, who he trusted the most, although he knew that Hou San and they were willing to live and die with him, Tang Cheng couldn't tell Hou San that they took 400 people to fight for their lives because of their selfishness. Through the window of the room, Tang Cheng could see Hou San and a few of them in the camp at any time, and Tang Cheng also wanted to tell them a few secrets in his heart, but there was another voice in Tang Cheng's mind reminding him that he must not sue anyone.

"Don't blame me," Tang Cheng muttered to himself in the room through the window, he now had to confirm the marching route more meticulously and make the plan of action more detailed, only in this way could he avoid more casualties. As the commander, Tang Cheng was the only way to offset the guilt in his heart a little, because he was forced to do so.
