    The British and the Gurkhas retreated in embarrassment, leaving only hundreds of corpses abandoned by them on the battlefield, as well as light smoke rising everywhere. The sound of gunfire and artillery also stopped at this moment.  The wind at dusk blew from the river valley, carrying a thick smell of gunpowder smoke and blood.

    Zhang Xian and Cao Jinya were walking on the messy hillside, watching the soldiers of the 279th Regiment cleaning the battlefield. The soldiers collected weapons and ammunition dropped by the enemy, and at the same time collected the enemy's corpses.  Then drag these corpses to the middle area under the hillside and store them. The Burmese soldiers will naturally come from the river beach and drag these corpses away.  After all, there is no telling how many days of fighting will last on this battlefield. Although it is the dry season in the subtropics, the heat is still there. If these corpses are not processed in time, germs will definitely breed, and a plague may eventually occur.

    Although the number of Gurkha and British prisoners and wounded captured this time was far less than the number captured yesterday, there were still dozens of them. However, to deal with these prisoners, Chang Niuchun of the First Battalion came over.  Seeking Zhang Xian's opinion, Zhang Xian told him without thinking: "Take custody of these prisoners first, take away the wounded with minor injuries, and carry the seriously injured down the mountain with the corpses, and let their people  Go get treatment!¡±

    Niu Chun responded and ran away.

    Cao Jinya was a little confused and asked Zhang Xian, "Senzuo, why aren't you going to let them go this time?"

    Zhang Xian turned to glare at him and asked unhappily: "Old Cao, are you really confused or are you pretending to be confused? These people are all mercenaries, different from the Burmese prisoners we captured yesterday!"

    "What's different?" Cao Jinya asked casually.

    Zhang Xian paused for a moment, already a little dissatisfied, but he still said: "You, what is it for me to do? The Burmese prisoners are locals, and most of them will run home if they are released; but these mercenaries do not  Likewise, they are fighting in a different place. If we let them go, they will have nowhere to go. In the end, they will return to the barracks to fight against us. Rather than doing this, it is better to detain them and replenish our own troops.  !¡±

    Cao Jinya was stunned for a moment, but said without any doubt: "Sir, do you really dare to use these mercenaries? They are not Chinese, and they are not of the same mind as us!"

    Zhang Xian rolled his eyes at him and said: "Whether it is the same mind or not, it depends on whether we can educate it well in the future! Even if the education is not good, this is still a card we can play when negotiating; if we take 10,000 steps back, we can still  You can let them use money to ransom people, our national army is not someone who said they can just come and fight whenever they want!"

    After hearing this, Cao Jinya couldn't help but laugh and agreed: "I really hope they can use the money to redeem it. Haha, this also finds a way for everyone to make money!"

    "I don't like this way of making money!" Zhang Xian said lukewarmly. He didn't want to fight such a dangerous battle anymore.

    Cao Jinya smiled, revealing his gold-encrusted front teeth, and said with some worry: "Senzu, just to guard these prisoners, we have to take out people. Our manpower is already very tight, so the gains outweigh the losses!"

    Zhang Xian thought for a while and said: "Let's count these prisoners tonight, take them to Jiangkou Town behind, and let the fellow villagers help guard them!"

    Cao Jinya thought for a while and thought it was a good idea, so he nodded immediately.

    For the Burmese, this time they mobilized 100,000 troops to encircle the Mengsa area east of the Salween River. As the main force on the western front, the offensive battle has lasted for more than four days, but the river mouth has still not been captured.  This naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of many people in the Myanmar government. Myanmar Prime Minister U Nu could not bear it anymore, and ordered him to find another way to resolve the battle as quickly as possible.  Otherwise, his defense minister will have to be replaced by someone else!

    Wu Nai Win was anxious and angry, and personally came to the Linxi combat headquarters located on the west bank of the Nanden River. In his opinion, he could stop their 30,000 troops at the river mouth. The opponent was naturally strong, and the minimum number of troops was  More than ten thousand!  But why does the intelligence show that there are not so many enemies on the Jiangkou side?  Is there something wrong with the intelligence?  He also personally met with the Burmese soldiers who were captured by the national army but were released back, and asked them about the specific situation of the national army positions in Jiangdong.  The prisoner told him that after they were captured, they did not see the situation inside the Jiangkou position. They only knew that the national army's fortifications were well done, especially those bunkers that they didn't know how to dig out, and they were not afraid of aircraft bombing at all.  and heavy artillery fire.  After hearing this situation, Wu Ne Win nodded secretly. As the Minister of Defense, his?.  Although the name of the small river was not marked, and the road along the river was also marked with the same direction, Zhang Xian knew that it must be a valley that could be traveled upstream.  Following the path of the river, after bypassing Mengxian Mountain, you will reach Laniu Mountain.  Judging from the trend of this river, if the Burmese army returns to the river mouth in a roundabout way, it will first reach Laniu Mountain, and there is still 20 kilometers from Laniu Mountain to the river mouth.  Zhang Xian suddenly remembered that when he followed Adjutant Zheng, he had seen the intersection of a small road on the south side of Laniushan Mountain. At that time, he had asked Adjutant Zheng about the situation, and he thought that the small road must lead to Mengxian Mountain.  He couldn't help but pick up a pencil and draw a path along the river on the map.  But after the painting was finished, his people couldn't help but froze. The intersection was twenty kilometers away from the river mouth, but wasn't it almost the same distance from Mengsa?  Why does the enemy have to go back to the river mouth in a roundabout way?  Wouldn't it be better if they attacked Mengsa directly?  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
