Jin Chengzhen commanded the soldiers to consolidate the position and deal with the bodies. The Northern Army pulled the bodies back to the rear, and the American Army carried the bodies to a nearby woods.

Jin Chengzhen's military adviser climbed up the Suoyao Ridge and couldn't understand why so many people of the Northern Army under his command died, but not a single stone was knocked down, while the Chinese Army easily took it in two hours.

The arrogant consultant was convinced and saluted Captain Zhang with a standard military salute.

Captain Zhang quickly returned the salute and then led the large force back to the base. Qiao turned around and led a reconnaissance squad to search in the direction of the American troops.

Jincheng Town was so happy to have gained credit for nothing that they forgot the instructions given by Captain Zhang before he left. Captain Zhang said not to deploy too many troops in Suoyaoling, as the Americans would suffer a loss and would definitely come to bomb during the day.

Sure enough, just after eight o'clock, more than a dozen US bombers flew to Suoyaoling, dropping hundreds of heavy bombs and incendiary bombs, setting Suoyaoling on fire.

Jincheng Town had one leg broken by the bomb, and the military adviser had shrapnel piercing his chest and was sent to the foot of the mountain, his life or death unknown. Only after his leg was broken did Jincheng Town remember Captain Zhang's good advice and regretted it too late.

The US army retreated ten kilometers. Seeing that Lewis had recovered a little, Qiao Youzhi proposed to take a small force to conduct reconnaissance again.

Lewis certainly agrees.

Qiao Youzhi took Pastor Ivan and a company of American soldiers, had a big meal, and headed north.

Ivan saw Captain Jefferson's embarrassed expression and leaned over to ask, "Don't you have any interest in such a mission? How exciting!"

Jefferson said with a bitter face: "What's good about that? One of my good brothers died in Suoyaoling yesterday."

Ivan looked down on him: "As a soldier, how can you be so afraid of death?"

Jefferson was a little uncomfortable when he was hit by the words, and he said in defense: "I am just in a bad mood. Good brothers died in battle, and their bodies can't be brought back. Sigh."

Ivan crossed himself and muttered, "May they meet in heaven. Merciful God, please accept their souls."

After completing the communication with God, Ivan proudly told Jefferson: "To tell you the truth, if you follow George, nothing will happen to you. You know George, he is simply the god of luck. He was at the front line when the war broke out. He has fought for so long and has not lost a hair. If you follow George, your life will be safe."

Jefferson looked at Qiao Youzhi with admiration.

Walk until noon and take a half-hour break.

The scout came running over, looking nervous: "Have you spotted the enemy?"

"How much?" Jefferson was more nervous than the scout.

"Eleven, a squad." The scout reported accurately.

Jefferson was relieved: "It's just one squad. We can take him down. There are more than a hundred of us. Ten of us can take on one of them." After saying that, he looked at Qiao Youzhi and asked for his opinion: "George, what do you think?"

Qiao Youzhi called Jefferson to the scout position and raised the telescope: ten soldiers of the Chinese Army were sitting together to rest.

Jefferson was excited when he saw that the Chinese army was small and asked, "Do you want to fight?"

Qiao Youzhi shook his head: "Don't use your guns, surround them first, a platoon first."

Jefferson personally took the B row and touched it.

Qiao Youzhi discovered that two Chinese army soldiers ran back from outside and whispered in the ear of an old soldier. The old soldier turned around and stared vigilantly in the direction of Qiao Youzhi. Qiao Youzhi was shocked by that face. Isn't that my grandfather?

A squad of Chinese soldiers was the reconnaissance squad led by Qiao Youzhi's grandfather Qiao Fanshen. They were also tired and were taking a rest when the scouts they sent out reported: "The American troops are approaching?"

"how many people?"

"Over one hundred."

The deputy squad leader cocked his rifle and shouted, "Go get him!"

Qiao turned over without moving, and asked coldly: "Ten people, beat them a hundred, do you think it's the middle of the night."

"So what? Sit here."

Joe turned over and laughed: "Just sit here and wait for them. Empty the gun and turn off the safety. Don't let it go accidentally."

The soldiers were all stunned, wondering what the squad leader was going to do today.

"Zhang Huaizhi, do you speak English?" Qiao turned over and pointed at a soldier.

"Yes."

"Come sit next to me."

Qiao Youzhi held up the telescope and saw that his grandfather was still sitting there, and seemed not to have noticed the American troops. He thought to himself, you also take naps sometimes, and began to worry about him again. What should I do in this situation?

He was afraid that Jefferson could not control the situation. If a fight really broke out, with more than a hundred American troops facing ten Chinese troops, Qiao Youzhi would be worried to death.

When Qiao Youzhi caught up with Jefferson, he was less than ten meters away from the Chinese army. The American army acted quickly, surrounded the Chinese army, and pointed more than thirty guns at the Chinese soldiers.

Qiao Youzhi captured Jefferson and strictly ordered him not to act rashly or fire a gun.

Jefferson was very puzzled: "Why? They are fish in the net, they can't escape. Oh, I know, sir, you want to catch them alive."

Qiao Youzhi looked sternly: "Let me ask you, why are they sitting here so calmly? Have you done any reconnaissance to see if there are any of their people around? What if they are bait?"

Jefferson was sweating profusely, looking terrified: "What should we do? Will we be surrounded?"

Qiao Youzhi scolded: "Follow my orders." He brought Jefferson and Ivan to the front of the Chinese army.

With Qiao's order to turn over, the Chinese soldiers sat steadily with their guns aside. Jefferson was sharp-eyed and didn't even turn on the safety.

They opened their eyes wide and looked at the American troops with smiles on their faces.

Jefferson's heart was beating in his throat, and he said to Qiao Youzhi, "We've been fooled!"

Qiao Youzhi glanced at him and said, "Calm down and act like an officer!"

Qiao turned over and saw two American military officers whispering to each other. They said something to Zhang Huaizhi and asked him to translate.

Zhang Huaizhi said to Qiao Youzhi: "Why did you come just now?"

Qiao Youzhi was surprised: "How did you know we were coming?"

"Of course we know. Now that you're here, sit down and have a chat."

Qiao Youzhi pulled Jefferson and Ivan to sit down as well.

Jefferson boldly asked, "What do you want to talk about?"

"Let's make a deal."

Jefferson glared and said, "We are soldiers and we should fight. We are not businessmen."

"There's no point in fighting you. There will be battles, but we have to make deals. We've done it before." Zhang Huaizhi pointed at Qiao Youzhi: "My squad leader said that he exchanged prisoners with him. Doesn't this count as a deal?"

Qiao Youzhi nodded: "Yes, but this time, we have no prisoners."

"Where are the bodies of your American soldiers who died in the battle yesterday?"

Qiao Youzhi and Jefferson suddenly realized that the transaction referred to the bodies of the American soldiers who died in the battle.

"How to trade?" Qiao Youzhi asked.

"Let's put it this way. One body, two rifles, two hundred rounds of ammunition, and four grenades. We also need two heavy machine guns, five thousand rounds of ammunition, two mortars, and two hundred rounds of artillery shells. We don't want tanks or cannons, as they are too heavy."

Zhang Huaizhi made a list.

Qiao Youzhi and Jefferson stared at each other: "With so many things, our reconnaissance company still can't bring enough."

Jefferson was anxious and excited, and he even said to many people: "We can give you all the weapons and equipment of more than a hundred people."

"You must leave the equipment you have behind. We are talking about the extra money we will give you after you leave all your equipment behind."

Qiao Youzhi smiled at his grandfather Qiao Fanshen's eyes and responded, "We have to report it to our superiors."
