Chapter 521 A far-reaching rescue operation
At three o'clock in the morning, the commando of the Special Melee Team and Mai Team met successfully.
Brigadier General Mairel and Zhang Junhao saluted each other and hugged each other warmly.
Brigadier General Mairel was excited and had a rapid heartbeat, coughed violently, and his breathing became urgent, his face was white, and he was sweating coldly.
Zhang Junhao held Mairel's hand and said softly: "General, you have suffered."
Heavy tears burst out from the eyes of Brigadier General Mairrell, and he whispered: "I am ready to die in battle and think you can't come to save me."
Zhang Junhao smiled and said, "After receiving the order from General Stilwell, I did not hesitate at all and rushed to save you as quickly as possible."
Brigadier General Mairel asked: "How did you come to this area? The mountains are high and the roads are far away, and the jungle is boundless. Unless you land, there is no other way to come!"
Zhang Junhao laughed and said, "The rope crosses the Irrawaddy River."
Brigadier General Mairel asked with curiosity: "Root Ferry? How to Ferry?"
Zhang Junhao laughed and said, "When you arrive at the crossing point, you will know when you look. Let's go! You have something to say on the way that you should not stay here for a long time to prevent the Japanese army from chasing you."
Mairel Zhun shouted to Deputy Captain Lieutenant Colonel Hunter: "Immediately order the team and go with General Zhang's team."
Lieutenant Colonel Hunter shouted yes and ran over to issue an order.
Zhang Junhao led the commando of the special melee team to walk in front and quickly walked towards the mountainous area. The Mai Detachment followed closely.
Although we know that powerful Japanese reinforcements will not arrive in a short period of time, how dare the Japanese army in the jungle pursue it? But since the mission of the rescue Mai Detachment has been completed, we do not have to stay in Valuban anymore. Even if there are very good fighter jets, we must give up.
Zhang Junhao did not have the idea of occupying Varuban and cutting off the Japanese army's liaison line. He did not stop and eliminate other Japanese army ideas in the jungle.
Zhang Junhao knew that it was not the time to occupy Varuban now. If the Special Melee Team occupied Varuban, the Japanese army would inevitably counterattack wildly. If the Special Melee Team fought alone here, they would definitely not be able to defend it. On the contrary, when defending Varuban, they would suffer heavy damage from the Japanese army. The Special Melee Team's task is to support frontal combat, and the combat method is mainly attacked, and it can overcome difficulties, but there is no need to stick to the stronghold. Unless the superior has an order, if the superior has an order, even if the superior has an order, Zhang Junhao will firmly implement it even if all the special Melee Team died in battle.
After walking in the plain jungle for about two hours, I entered the mountainous area on the north side. The sky gradually became brighter and the team did not stop at the foot of the mountain. I climbed the mountain with a breath. After climbing up the mountain, it was dawn.
On the mountain, Zhang Junhao then asked the team to stop and rest and have breakfast.
No Japanese pursuers arrived!
At this time, the captain of the Japanese 56th Regiment, Colonel Sato Yasaburo and the Japanese brigade commander had returned to the location of the brigade headquarters. The two were stunned when they looked at the ruins.
The captain told Colonel Sato Yasaburo that a squadron officer and soldier was ambushed when he wanted to return to rescue Varuban. The US troops who were besieged have escaped and were picked up by the mysterious army that fell from the sky.
Colonel Sato Yasaburo looked into the captain's eyes and said, "Lieutenant General Tanaka believes that this mysterious army is the Zhang Junhot melee team. Zhang Junhao killed as many as 80,000 imperial troops in Zhejiang. Alas! Why did Zhang Junhao suddenly come here? Did he fly over?"
The captain said: "The US military fled to the mountainous area on the north side."
Sato Yasaburo said: "The Irrawaddy River is blocked on the north side. If you escape into the mountainous area on the north side, you will escape into the dead."
The captain said: "Why do we ask the division and the army to support the mountainous areas on the north side?"
Colonel Sato Yasaburo said: "The upper reaches of the Irrawaddy River are absolutely dead. How could the US military and Zhang Junhao escape into the mountainous areas on the north side? Is there a ferry in the river? It is impossible!"
Zhang Junhao spoke with Colonel Brandon on a walkie-talkie to inform him of the good news and asked Colonel Brandon to report the news that the US military Mai Detachment was successfully rescued and General Wingate and the Chinese Army Command in India, informed Deputy Captain Zhang Boliang and Chief of Staff Luo Zhong, told Chief of Staff Luo Zhong to stop Meng Guan's feint operation and lead the team to withdraw back to the camp.
The breakfasts that the team ate canned and tasted very quickly.
The officers and soldiers of Mai Detachment carried very little food. Since they arrived by the river and crossed the river, Mai Detachment could eat the food carried by the special melee team, so they could eat all the food they carried.
After the team rested for two hours, Zhang Junhao ordered to continue moving forward.
This mountain road is extremely difficult to walk on. The commandos are walking on the road back. After walking for a while, it is relatively easy to walk. This is the first time that the officers and soldiers of Mai Detachment have walked. Most of the officers and soldiers are very weak, with more than 200 officers and soldiers injured. It is difficult to walk this mountain road. But no matter how difficult it is, they must walk. If they don’t walk, there is only a dead end. Mai Detachment supports each other and walks slowly. Although the road is extremely difficult, everyone is very excited. For them, they are finally saved. Although the road ahead is difficult, every step forward is equivalent to getting closer to the place of rest.
The team arrived at the crossing point at noon.
Many officers and soldiers of Mai Detachment were so blue that they were swollen that they looked at the turbulent rivers, and they were all dumbfounded.
Brigadier General Mairel said to Zhang Junhao: "General Zhang, there are more than 200 people in our army who are injured, so it is difficult to get through!"
Zhang Junhao looked at the eyes of Brigadier General Mairel and said, "If the special melee team can come, I believe your team can pass. I will let part of my team cross the river first, set an example for your team, and leave a cover for the rear. I will cross the river first and wait for you on the other side of the river."
Brigadier General Mairel hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth and gave the order to cross the river.
Zhang Junhao held Wu Qiong and the commando team one hand to cross the river first, while the commando team two left cover.
When Zhang Junhao went down the river and held Wu Qiong with his left hand and paddled across the river with his right hand, all the officers and soldiers of the Mai Detachment were amazed. General Zhang is really a god!
Zhang Junhao crossed the river very fast. When Zhang Junhao arrived on the other side, he put down Wu Qiong, and the commando team was still in the river.
Zhang Junhao was covered in water and felt very cold. He quickly climbed up the mountain. Colonel Brandon, Lieutenant Colonel Cameron, and Lie Lie came to greet him.
After Zhang Junhao ran up the mountain, Colonel Brandon quickly asked about the situation. Zhang Junhao laughed and said, "The Mai Detachment will cross the river immediately and arrange for people to pick him up. Light the firewood and let the team come up and burn the fire to keep warm immediately."
Colonel Brandon shouted yes.
Li Li said to Zhang Junhao: "Come on, change your clothes quickly and be careful of having a cold."
Zhang Junhao followed Li Li to the tent and entered the tent. Soon Wu Qiong also came in. With the assistance of Li Li and Wu Qiong, Zhang Junhao changed into clean clothes.
When Li Li assisted Zhang Junhao in dressing, she asked with a smile: "We must have encountered a lot of difficulties during rescue, right?"
Zhang Junhao laughed and said, "Before the rescue of Mai Detachment, Xie Xinming and I led the first assault team to drop the Varuban Japanese command center, blow up all the vehicles parked on the street, and then together with the second assault team led by Wang Jinxian, we wiped out a squadron of the Japanese army."
Li Li asked with a smile: "Can you tell me in detail?"
Zhang Junhao looked at Wu Qiong and said with a smile: "Wu Qiong keeps following me, just ask her about the specific situation."
Wu Qiong smiled and said, "Don't worry, whenever I have time, I will tell you the details."
Li Li looked at Wu Qiong and said, "It's great, I want details."
Wu Qiong smiled and said, "I have witnessed the whole process with my own eyes. I can tell you what details you want as long as I know."
After Zhang Junhao put on his clothes, Li Li smiled and said, "You guys rest in the tent first. I will go over and take photos of Mai Detachment when crossing the river."
Zhang Junhao nodded and said, "Okay! Go quickly! I guess the Mai Detachment has started crossing the river now."
Zhang Junhao sat down on the stool, and Wu Qiong made a cup of hot tea for Zhang Junhao.
Wu Qiong snuggled up to Zhang Junhao and said leisurely: "You are really a god! Your power is unimaginable! In the river, you can actually hold me with one hand."
Zhang Junhao raised his hand and put his arms around Wu Qiong's little man's waist and asked with a smile: "Do you think I look like a god?"
Wu Qiong laughed and said, "You are the god!"
Zhang Junhao patted Wu Qiong's beautiful buttocks and said with a smile: "Go out and have a look. General Mairel calls me after coming up the mountain."
Wu Qiong nodded repeatedly and left.
Zhang Junhao sat in a tent and drank tea, looking up at the distance.
After saving Mai Detachment and coming to Kumenling, how do you get along with the relationship between the Special Melee Team and Mai Detachment? In the future, will Maire command me or will I command Maire?
Others would not consider this kind of issue. As the commander of the Special Melee Team, Zhang Junhao had to consider it.
At the camp, three teams will be assembled, the special melee team, the British special forces, and the American Mairel Commando. These three teams are not affiliated with each other. Colonel Luce takes the initiative to listen to Zhang Junhao, giving Zhang Junhao full autonomy in commanding operations. The team led by Brigadier Merriel is large in number, and the key is that he is a brigade general of the US military.
When he was in Lambga, General Stilwell wanted Colonel Beck to be the captain of the T-Melee Team. Now that Brigadier General Mairel is here, will he let Brigadier General Mairel command me?
What if this happens?
Zhang Junhao closed his eyes, lowered his head, and sighed softly in his heart.
There is definitely no problem with the conclusion that Mai Detachment is a heroic unit, but how strong is Brigadier's special combat command ability? Comrade Maier has come to this area and fought for eight months. Which battle can he do? Brigadier Maier just led a team of nearly 3,000 people to attack Varuban, but was surrounded by two Japanese infantry squadrons. If Zhang Junhao did not lead the commando to rescue, Mai Detachment might be surrounded and annihilated by the Japanese army.
If the Special Melee team is led by Brigadier General Mairrell, the ending will definitely be like Mair Detachment, and one day it will face the risk of being wiped out by the Japanese army.
The special melee team is the Chinese army. How can the Chinese army be commanded by foreigners?
Zhang Junhao has a very strong national self-esteem.
