In fact, the tactic used by Zhang Chi cannot be completely said to have committed a taboo.

The reason is that this is actually the "blitzkrieg" tactic in which Germany uses tanks to launch a roundabout outflank, but the German army's "blitzkrieg" is a large-scale armored corps, and Zhang Chi used only one tank company and one infantry company this time.

Of course, the German army's "blitzkrieg" was by no means as simple as using armored corps to intersperse encirclement, and they had to do a lot of preparatory work before interspersing the encirclement, such as sending reconnaissance planes to reconnoiter the enemy's situation and road conditions, sending camouflaged personnel or paratroopers to take the lead in controlling the bridges and the high ground next to the highlands, and sometimes even building roads...... These are all necessary conditions to ensure that armored forces can be quickly interspersed.

Zhang Chi did the same.

There are three main aspects of Zhang Chi's preparation:

First of all, the US military reconnaissance plane will take detailed pictures of the mountain road from Xujun Village to Panmai from the air, and then these photos will be made into a model, and this model will be detailed to where there will be many degrees of curves, where there will be steep slopes, and so on.

The model was then sent to each tank driver who was about to take on the task of interspersing with manuals and data, and all they had to do was memorize the angles and slopes of these curves, and then conduct a simulation exercise...... Stilwell's requirement for them was to be able to drive down this stretch of road for more than ten miles, even with their eyes closed.

Of course, this is a bit of an exaggeration, the tank is stopped and stopped in actual combat, and the battle can be very tense, and it is difficult for the driver to completely remember this winding mountain road in a short period of time and be able to drive without any mistake from memory.

This is just to familiarize the driver with the mountain road as much as possible, and the slightest hint from the infantry outside the car will help them remember how to go in front of them.

The second preparation was for the Burmese Independence Volunteers to conduct a detailed road reconnaissance of this stretch of road.

The result of the reconnaissance was that most of the roads were suitable for tanks, and there were only two places where tanks might be difficult to navigate.

In both locations, one is stuck on both sides by rocks, and the other is narrowed by landslides during the rainy season.

But these problems are easy to solve, and the Burmese Independence Volunteer Army has built roads in both places...... How could the Japanese know that these Burmese independence volunteers built roads to allow Chinese tanks to pass, and they thought that the Burmese built roads to facilitate the delivery of supplies forward, so instead of being suspicious, they gave them a thumbs up and said "Japan-Burma friendship."

The third preparation is the need for the cooperation of the Burmese Independence Volunteers.

This is important because on such a narrow mountain road, just a tank can be destroyed by the Japanese. This meant that the armored forces would most likely not be able to advance, and then they would be surrounded by the Japanese forces that rushed in.

However, this did not seem to be a problem, and Nila simply agreed to come down, and then she would take a company of the Burmese Independence Volunteers to meet her in the jungle.

When the dust settled on these three preparations, Zhang Chi breathed a sigh of relief.

Now it can be basically said that everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.

So that afternoon, Zhang Chi asked the soldiers to have an early dinner, and sorted out their equipment and brought enough ammunition.

"Company commander!" The townsman asked while sorting out his equipment: "Let's counterattack!" ”

Since the first thing in the interspersed task is secrecy, Zhang Chi has not told the soldiers the battle plan until this time.

"A counteroffensive is long overdue!" The hooligan said while wearing leggings: "It's really a little unbearable to let the devils press and beat in this small village all day long!" ”

The hooligans said what the fighters wanted, and the feeling of being surrounded by devils in Xujia Village was actually uncomfortable, although there would be American transport planes dropping ammunition and supplies every now and then so that the soldiers would have no shortage of food and clothing, but the space that could move was only so big that they walked around every day. Not only are bullets and shells flying over their heads, but they are also worried about whether the Japanese will take advantage of the soldiers' inattention...... This kind of repression is not something that outsiders can experience.

"Company commander!" The townsman who had put his equipment in order came up and said, "It's time to talk about the counteroffensive plan!" ”

"Hmm!" Zhang Chi nodded, casually recruited a few cadres to him, pointed to the mountain road in front of the map and said: "Our task is to fight down here, hit ten miles and then insert it into the jungle to the left, and then go through the jungle to get here...... Panmai, the headquarters of the 18th Division of the Devil is here! ”

Hearing this, the cadres couldn't help but be stunned, they thought that this counterattack was just to defeat the Japanese army besieging Xujia Village. Unexpectedly, he had to go more than ten miles deep to the Japanese army to end the Japanese army's headquarters.

"Lian...... Long! Xiao Zhejiang asked with some difficulty: "Is it just one of us?" This force ......"

"And a tank company!" Zhang Chi said.

"Even if there's a tank company, it can't be......"

The hooligan gave Xiao Zhejiang a hard slap in the back, and said, "You don't have to worry about that heart, if you can't, can the company commander fight like this?" ”

After speaking, the hooligan turned his head to Zhang Chi and smiled: "I'm right. Captain! ”

Zhang Chi just smiled and didn't answer.

Zhang Chi can't answer the question of hooligans, as the so-called "success is in the sky", Zhang Chi can only say that he tried his best to plan, as for the battlefield. In particular, what will happen to a battlefield like this when a small unit is interspersed behind enemy lines is beyond Zhang Chi's control.

"Zhang ......" Pete knew about this plan in advance, so it was not surprising at this time. He patted Zhang Chi on the shoulder and said, "Although I still think this plan is crazy, but ...... Since the plan that passed by the Japanese without a sound last time was successful, I believe that this time it will be successful! I believe you! ”

"Thank you!" Zhang Chi nodded.

This is exactly what Zhang Chi needs, the trust of the fighters and the support of Pete. Because this means that the whole army will unite to form a powerful fist, a fist that can reach out to the Japanese defense line and smash the Japanese headquarters.

At this time, the whistling of shells and the roar of fighter jets were heard in the sky, so Zhang Chi knew that the counterattack had begun.

"Good luck!" Pete said.

"Good luck!" Zhang Chi replied.

The fighters hugged each other and shouted in English: "To go home!" ”

This is what American instructors taught them...... The soldiers learned not only American tactics from the American instructors, but also some Yankee habits. (To be continued.) )
