The expeditionary force began to dominate Southeast Asia by recruiting defeated soldiers

"Kill 3 [Soldiers], increase Global Experience by 60 and Silver Lions by 180."

"Kill 1 [Non-Commissioned Officer], increase Global Experience by 50 and Silver Lions by 100. Kill 2 [Soldiers], increase Global Experience by 40 and Silver Lions by 120."

"Kill 1 [Lieutenant], increase global experience by 100 and Silver Lions by 200."

......

Zhang Chi was lying in the grass, and the kill prompts in the system kept appearing along with the firing of the M15 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun.

It seems that even if he is not in the vehicle, he can still get the benefits of killing the Japanese in the last vehicle he was in.

Because the M15 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun is not a premium vehicle, its profit is almost half of that of the Sherman Organ.

After eliminating the group of more than 100 Japanese devils blocking the road, Zhang Chi led his team into the continuous mountains in front of them.

Not long after entering the mountains, the mountain road was no longer accessible to vehicles. Zhang Chi looked at the dense primeval rainforest and the gradually rising steep mountains in front of him, and sighed. The motorized troops were indeed powerful, but without roads, they could not move forward.

He began to ponder.

The entire Gaoligong Mountains are approximately 500 kilometers long and span China and Myanmar. A battalion of more than 800 soldiers from the 146th Infantry Regiment is scattered throughout this mountainous area, so the density is not too high.

He estimated that the more than 100 Japanese soldiers he had just eliminated might be the only main force of the Japanese soldiers in this area.

Then there shouldn't be many Japanese soldiers in the mountains ahead, so we can boldly divide our troops and search for the defeated soldiers separately.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chi took the initiative to split the second and third companies into search teams consisting of platoons, and asked them to walk along the main road of the mountain road and search forward.

"If you encounter a small group of Japanese troops, destroy them. If you encounter our compatriots, bring them back." Zhang Chi, standing in front of the crowd, succinctly assigned the tasks and then waved his hand, saying, "Let's go. Meet back before noon tomorrow. I'll be waiting for your good news."

In order to ensure that they could return on time, Zhang Chi specially gave a watch to each officer of the independent battalion above the squad leader level. This thing can be bought for only 10 silver lion coins in the system. It is not expensive, but it is an indispensable item in combat.

At that time, a watch like this in Qian Country would cost at least dozens of dollars, which could be considered a light luxury item. The officers who received the watches were immediately delighted and led the soldiers into the mountains with great enthusiasm.

Watching everyone enter the mountains, Zhang Chi directed the drivers to form a circle in the rainforest with the M15 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun, two Bedford trucks, and two Willys jeeps and began to set up camp.

Naturally, he kept Xiao Dongbei's reconnaissance squad by his side to protect him.

As the saying goes, "To win a man's heart, first win his stomach."

Zhang Chi felt that this also applied to a group of tired and hungry defeated soldiers, so several large pots were set up in the camp.

Clean water was scooped out from the water tank unloaded from the Bedford truck and added to the pot. Then, compressed biscuits, canned meat, canned beans and other ingredients in the Eagle Sauce field rations were added into the pot. Zhang Chi, who had transformed into a battlefield chef, stirred the pot with broken branches to make a battlefield stew.

"Boss, look what I found?" Xiao Dongbei came over excitedly, holding a large pile of mushrooms. "These are the best white mushrooms. They grow everywhere in the woods here after the rain."

Zhang Chi took it and took a look. The cap of the white amanita was round, the stem was slender, and there was a ball-shaped object at the bottom. It was very cute.

"That's great. Thank you for your hard work. But if you want me dead, there's no need to go through so much trouble. Just shoot me."

"what?"

"Didn't you hear that folk song from Yunnan Province before you went abroad?" Zhang Chi was furious. Can the mushrooms in this rainforest be eaten casually?

"I've heard it, and I can sing it. Red umbrellas, white poles, after eating, we'll lie down on the planks together, lie down on the planks, sleep in coffins, and then bury the mountain together..." Xiao Dongbei actually started singing, "But, boss, you see, the top of this mushroom is white?"

"This is a fucking poisonous amanita phalloides. It's extremely poisonous. Don't care if it's white or red. If you dare to eat it in this rainforest, you'll be in trouble. Notice to everyone that no one is allowed to pick or eat mushrooms in the rainforest without permission."

After Zhang Chi finished speaking, he threw all the mushrooms that Xiao Dongbei had picked into the fire.

Fortunately, he had a roommate from Spring City when he was in college, who told him in detail the 72 ways that people in Yunnan Province heard their dogs and chairs speaking human language. Otherwise, the entire team would have been wiped out today.

Not long after, a group of empty-handed and ragged defeated soldiers, led by soldiers from the independent battalion, staggered out of the mountains.

Tired and hungry, they had long given up hope of returning home and stopped in the mountains, ready to die. Unexpectedly, friendly troops suddenly appeared and told them that a camp had been established in the direction of Pegu, with food and medicine. This news ignited their last shred of hope for life, and they gathered their last bit of energy and, with their stiff legs, followed.

When they arrived at the camp, they saw the self-propelled anti-aircraft gun with its barrel pointing majestically to the sky, and smelled the aroma of food in the big pot. Their originally uneasy hearts were immediately relieved.

What these friendly troops said was actually true. Some of them actually defeated the Japanese who were chasing them and brought back supplies that could save their lives.

Zhang Chi happily gave each of them a huge leaf, then poured the thick biscuit porridge on the leaf and said with a smile: "Eat, eat. Only when you are full will you have the strength to follow me."

Several defeated soldiers looked down at the steaming biscuit porridge, then raised their eyes to the golden triangular star on the red collar badge with double yellow bars on Zhang Chi's collar (picture in the author's description), and immediately realized that he was a major. They had escaped from a desperate situation and had never expected that a colonel-level officer would be so kind as to serve them food. Their emotions were so up and down that they couldn't help but shed tears in excitement.

"You are all good men, why are you crying? Eat well and take care of your body. Then we can pick up our weapons and fight back." Zhang Chi said with a smile.

Looking at these fleeing soldiers devouring their food, Zhang Chi secretly rejoiced: These are all top-notch veterans. Your White Party is at a loss as to how to advance or retreat, leading them into a desperate situation. Don't blame me for taking advantage of this opportunity to poach your troops.

Soon, more defeated soldiers were brought back one after another.

Most of these defeated soldiers looked exhausted from hunger. Some even had dysentery or inflamed wounds and fever, and were carried back on simple stretchers.

Hao Xisan, who had been following the battalion headquarters, immediately took several of his apprentices to treat the wounded soldiers.

With the system in hand, Zhang Chi used the precious quinine and penicillin as if they were free, and the wounded soldiers' condition soon stabilized.

This immediate effect surprised not only the injured but even Hao Xisan himself: Could it be that his medical skills had suddenly improved?

He looked down at the transparent syringe in his hand and the stethoscope hanging around his neck, and suddenly realized something and burst out laughing.

Without the equipment and medicines provided by Zhang Chi, he would still be the "bad veterinarian" who could only perform amputations.
