Chapter XXXVII

Zhang Chi's judgment was correct.

The enemy who entered the three-company formation was not the Japanese army, but the Burmese Independence Volunteers led by Lieutenant Colonel Poso...... The Nagar Task Force is a very special force, its mission is to infiltrate the Myitkyina defense line and carry out activities behind enemy lines, so it needs the cooperation of the Burmese Independence Volunteers, who are familiar with the terrain and people.

The more than 50 Burmese soldiers led by Lieutenant Colonel Poso were selected from the Burmese Independence Volunteers, and in addition to their basic equipment, they also had a Burmese knife, which could open the way in the jungle and slash in hand-to-hand combat, which was very convenient to use.

And the US military tactics have a fatal flaw, that is, they avoid hand-to-hand combat and white-knuckle combat, so the American tactics of Lieutenant Colonel Poso after entering the infantry group behind the tank do not work, and there is almost only one way to escape.

At this time, if Zhang Chi took the troops to the rescue, it was very likely that the result would be more and more chaotic, and in the end, even a company would not be spared.

Of course, Zhang Chi would not do this, he ruthlessly ignored the three companies that would be killed, and with a wave of his hand, he led his troops out of the jungle and attacked the flank of the 114 heights.

The Japanese troops on Heights 114 were obviously attracted by the frontal battlefield, especially the Burmese Independence Volunteers who were slashing and killing indiscriminately in the Chinese army, so they didn't even notice that a group of Chinese soldiers had touched up in the darkness on the flanks.

Zhang Chi and his troops began to advance slowly with a cat waist, and began to jog after only a hundred meters away from the enemy's defensive line, and then quickly turned to a fast run and threw out a row of grenades and lay down...... The soldiers had already judged the position of the Japanese soldiers from the gunfire and the light of the fire when the Japanese soldiers opened fire, so this row of grenades threw it over, and immediately "boomed" and the devils screamed.

"Brethren! Come on! ”

"Rush!"

……

At this time, Zhang Chi didn't care about any American tactics and Chinese style of play, whether it was American or Chinese, as long as he could kill the devil, it was a good tactic.

"Bang bang bang......" Zhang Chi pulled the trigger as he ran forward, shooting two Japanese soldiers who were about to get up and resist.

Here are the benefits of the M1 rifle...... In fact, the M1 rifle is still very suitable for close combat, and the capacity of eight rounds is semi-automatic, even if the enemy is in front of him, he will have time to finish eight rounds. This is almost equivalent to being able to quickly stab eight times in close combat...... And this is something that few people can do in hand-to-hand combat.

If the M1 rifle has a long body and is not suitable for close combat, then the Thomson submachine gun is even more powerful for close combat...... The whole gun was only about 80 centimeters long, less than half the length of the 38 cover with the bayonet. What's more important is that it has a capacity of 30 rounds, and the magazine change is very fast, so the little devil can't use any stabbing skills at all, and the two or three who come up are also knocked down with a shuttle.

That's why veterans often say: "Submachine guns and grenades, melee gold is not exchanged!" These words fully illustrate the role of submachine guns and grenades in close combat.

What's more important is that the devil's defense line and formation are facing the front with a long snake formation, and although there are two squads covering its flanks, it is only two squads...... The two squads of Japanese soldiers were killed and wounded by the soldiers' grenades at the first time and were quickly broken through, and then the soldiers faced a Japanese soldier with several or even a dozen.

In fact, at this time, the Japanese troops on the 114th Heights were no less than the two platoons led by Zhang Chi, not only would they not be less, but even doubled as many as the more than 100 people...... Of the 300-strong Naga contingent, more than 100 fell in the first infiltration operation. The Burmese army of more than 50 people was led by Lieutenant Colonel Poso and fought three companies together, and the remaining more than 100 people even had their headquarters on this 114 heights.

However, due to the orientation of the formation, the Japanese army could only face Zhang Chi's more than 60 people at the same time with a small number of troops, which is why the troops were very taboo about being attacked on the flanks.

So where will the Japanese army be the opponent of the soldiers, at this time, although it is a close combat, but in fact, the two armies basically have no hand-to-hand combat, because the Japanese army has not rushed to the front by the rifles and submachine guns in the hands of the soldiers into a sieve.

All the fighters had to do was rush all the way along the trenches of the Japanese army.

It should be said that the training in Sun Brabang also played a great role at this time, because the American grenades equipped by the soldiers at this time generally had a throwing distance of about 30 to 50 meters, while the shrapnel killing radius was 50 meters.

This means that the grenade must lie down after being thrown. Otherwise, you risk being injured by the grenades you throw.

And this kind of throwing is very rhythmic and coordinated, especially in this rainy night, no one knows when the comrade-in-arms next to him will throw a grenade...... And if you don't know, you may stand stupidly or even charge in the direction of the grenade.

But in Sunbrabun's training, the fighters were told that when throwing grenades, they had to shout: "Grenades! ”。 This is to remind the surrounding comrades that there is a grenade thrown ...... This scene is also often seen in modern television and movies, where American soldiers always shout "Grenade!" when throwing grenades. Herein lies its purpose and significance.

The fighters have also undergone this kind of training, so they are like fish in water to fight.

When someone nearby shouted "grenades", the fighters "screamed" and shot from their stomachs. At this time, the Japanese army didn't know what was going on, but they still rushed forward with bayonets, so they were blown up with a "boom". As soon as the grenade exploded, the fighters immediately got up from the ground and went on the attack.

In this kind of slow and fast, relaxed offensive rhythm, the Japanese defense line and troops were eaten by Zhang Chi and others as if they were cutting sausages. Occasionally, a few machine-gun positions were turned to face this way, but they were quickly pinned down by the sniper rifles.

After a while, Zhang Chi and the others hit in front of a bunker erected with logs...... Since the bunker was hit from the side, the soldiers were faced with a small wooden door that was not perforated.

Without thinking about it, the fighters threw five or six grenades into it, and with a loud "boom" sound, the soldiers continued to attack in depth without looking back.

Later, I learned that this was not a bunker at all, but the headquarters of the Naga task force, and the Japanese commander in the first nest here was killed in a daze before he could react. Even the soldiers knew by rank that the Japanese commanders who were killed had two captains and a lieutenant, and that one lieutenant had survived because he was in charge of the command outside, but he was also seriously wounded and carried down by the surviving soldiers.

In this battle, the two platoons led by Zhang Chi directly lost the number of the Naga task force. (To be continued.) )
