    The No. 59 Post Patrol led by Qi Yajun followed the usual patrol route and walked deep into the Hukang Valley. Along the turbulent river, they went upstream and arrived at the meeting point with the No. 58 Post Patrol Team to exchange patrols.  Record, the two patrol teams jointly patrolled the next location and took turns with the other patrol team at Post No. 60.  ¡¾¡¿

    After the three parties exchanged patrol records, the officers and soldiers gathered together, took out the military rations they carried and the wild vegetables picked along the way, and stewed them into a pot of delicious food. They had a nice picnic and shared some common interests with each other.  Topic, for these Army Corps soldiers stationed deep in the primeval subtropical forests of northern Myanmar, this is the most anticipated thing among the boring patrol missions.

    With a full stomach, we took advantage of the sunset to say goodbye to each other reluctantly, and each returned to their own posts. This time, the patrol mission was successfully completed, and then they returned along another route.

    It takes a day and a night to go back and forth. Of course, Qi Yajun is keen to lead the patrol in person continuously. In addition to his responsibilities, he also wants to make friends with his military school classmates, Lieutenant Wu Zhiyou, once every two days.  When they met, he was the commander of Post No. 58. There were endless topics to talk about between the two friends. Every time they met, Qi Yajun was excited for several days.

    The primeval forest next to the river valley has been full of rainwater for several days. The broad leaves are weighed down by the water vapor. If you accidentally touch them, the rainwater trapped in the leaves will spread all over your body.  The soldiers humorously called it a natural shower. The mountain road by the river was too slippery to stand on. If you didn't pay attention, you would fall down and bite the mud.

    A few hours after the patrol set off, it was already around ten o'clock in the morning. The rain in the sky was still just falling, and the fog was still like thick cotton wool.  Shrouded in the surroundings, visibility is less than a few meters. In such weather, it is easy to lose your way.  Qi Yajun could only use the compass to correct the direction from time to time.

    Qi Yajun looked at his watch, frowned in annoyance, and thought to himself: "In such weather, although the patrol route was the same as usual, the speed was much slower when we arrived at the meeting point with Wu Zhiyou.

    Qi Yajun walked at the front of the patrol and crossed a small stream with difficulty. In front of it was a relatively flat valley, which was the meeting point with Wu Zhiyou's patrol. Suddenly, Qi Yajun smelled a faint smell of blood.  In the humid air, there was something vague, but he was still able to capture it keenly.

    "Stop advancing!" Qi Yajun made a gesture, and the patrol immediately stopped and immediately took a posture to prepare for battle. From this point of view, the soldiers at Post 59 were definitely well-trained. The three team leaders were very fast.  He ran over and asked in a low voice: "Chief Commander, what's going on?"

    Qi Yajun did not look back, looked around, and whispered: "I smell blood. This is the place where we met the patrol team at Post 58. The smell of blood is definitely not normal!"

    A second lieutenant team leader said: "Commander, I will take two soldiers to conduct reconnaissance!" Qi Yajun nodded and watched the three of them disappear into the rain and fog. The remaining soldiers lay quietly on the ground covered with rainwater.  On the grass, the gun in his hand is pointed forward.

    After more than ten minutes, the three people ran back. The team leader reported nervously: "Sentinel Commander, there should have been a battle in the valley ahead. However, no corpses or wounded were found, and no blood was found on the ground. I picked up this."  ." After saying that, he handed several bullet casings in his hand to Qi Yajun.

    Qi Yajun looked at the cartridge case carefully and found that it was not the cartridge case of the standard bullet equipped by the ** division troops, but the cartridge case fired from an unknown model of gun. He believed in the judgment of the team leader.  A battle broke out at the place where Wu Zhiyou met, but nothing was found at the scene except a few bullet casings. Is this abnormal in itself?

    Qi Yajun ordered Xiao Zhaoer: "Turn on the walkie-talkie and contact the patrol team at Post No. 58!" Xiao Zhao called for a while, but still did not get a reply from the other party. This was abnormal. Based on his understanding of Wu Zhiyou, his patrol team was not abnormal.  Could it be that the reason for starting up the computer was that it was delayed due to bad weather just like myself?

    ??????????????? Or, it took longer than you did, and you fell behind and haven¡¯t caught up yet?  But what happened to the battle?  The three team leaders looked at him and asked: "Chief, what should we do now?"

    Qi Yajun thought for a moment and ordered: "The combat formations dispersed. The first group served as the vanguard, and the communication group was at the back of the team. Once an emergency occurs, the situation on the scene will be reported directly to the commander of the border guard area.  Headquarters Operation Department, each group is fifty meters apart, search forward!"

    Qi Yajun¡¯s military quality is quite outstanding. When faced with an unknown situation, the method he took was definitely the most correct. The vanguard group began to search and advance, and the other groups followed up cautiously.Xiao Zhao and another signal soldier retreated to the back of the team.

    The 1st Lambgar Garrison Brigade of the British Army in India was one of the British and Indian Army units that entered the Hukang Valley first. As a local garrison unit composed of a mixture of British and Indians, its combat effectiveness was not as strong as the main force of the British Army.  But when it comes to fighting in the subtropical jungle, everyone is an expert. Therefore, Alexander, the commander-in-chief of the British and Indian troops, sent a local garrison to serve as the vanguard.

    The reason is very simple. If you have been stationed in a place for a long time, you will naturally become familiar with the local terrain conditions. In addition, more than one-third of the troops are indigenous Indian soldiers. The Hukang Valley is close to the subtropical jungles in India.  It's almost like their back garden.

    John, commander of the 1st Battalion?  Major Williams was lying in extreme discomfort behind the wet rocks. Just two hours ago, more than 500 people from the First Battalion used the cover of heavy fog to kill a Chinese soldier in a sudden attack.  There were more than 40 members of the Border Patrol. Although the battle was short-lived, in Williams' memory, it was the battle that brought him closest to death.

    Although the more than forty Chinese soldiers were suddenly attacked and more than half of them were killed at once, the reaction of the remaining Chinese soldiers was first-rate. When their companions fell, the submachine guns in their hands were fired.  Breathing out tongues of fire, they also refused to retreat. In more than thirty minutes of fighting, more than sixty people in their own battalion were killed.

    One bullet blew Williams' big-brimmed hat away. If the bullet had been lowered by half a centimeter, Mr. Major's head would have exploded like a rotten watermelon. However, despite the considerable damage,  Even though he was frightened, Williams was still very proud. If he hadn't issued an order to concentrate the firepower of light and heavy machine guns to kill the Chinese signal corps first, I am afraid that the news would have flown back to the Chinese headquarters at this moment.

    Then, General Alexander's plan to attack the Hukan Valley with surprise troops would go bankrupt. Originally, according to Williams' idea, he would continue to advance after killing the Chinese patrol, but his deputy battalion commander, Major Vajpaka,  An Indian, as thick as a bear, arrogantly stopped the major's order.

    In this guy's words, this is just a Chinese patrol, and there should be a second one. This is their meeting point. Vajpaka has seen it many times when he was patrolling. At this point,  Williams has no say. Who knows, in which direction does the water of the Hukan Valley flow?

    The major has never done the hard work of leading a team to patrol in the primeval forest. It is a natural job for Indians. The major only needs to hang out with the plump Indian waitress in Lambgar's tavern.  , all Vajpaka did. Now, this bear-like guy, who smells of gel and sweat, is lying next to him. His unpleasant body odor is so suffocating that the aristocratic Williams almost  Gonna vomit!

    From the bottom of his heart, Williams had never looked down upon his deputy battalion commander. This had nothing to do with his ability, but to do with his origin and race. He was about to impatiently reprimand Vajpaka to stay away from him.  , suddenly, a cold light flashed in Vajpaka's protruding eyes, stretched out his hairy palms, and made a silencing gesture!
