"At least we know the Japanese army's firepower!" Inside Chokbadang's headquarters, Slim said with some frustration.

In fact, Slim had expected this to happen from the beginning, but he did not expect it to be so miserable, losing five tanks and more than 300 British troops in just ten minutes.

Thinking of this, Slim couldn't help but look at Zhang Chi in front of him. Slim had a hunch that the Chinese also knew that this was going to happen, but he still suggested that the British attack, but Andy's fool was still fooled...... It is not a question of how many tanks and how many troops are lost, in fact, most of those dead and wounded are Burmese soldiers, and Slim is not distressed at all, and what Slim can't stand is that these Chinese have trampled the dignity of the British Empire under their feet.

"Okay!" Zhang Chi got cheap and sold well: "It seems that we Chinese need to fight again!" Is that right? Colonel Andy? ”

As he spoke, Zhang Chi turned his gaze to Andy, who was facing ashen.

Andy was only pale with anger, but the fact was that the Chinese could easily defeat the Japanese army and achieve great results, while his troops suffered heavy casualties under the blows of the Japanese army, so he could only grit his teeth and swallow this breath.

Zhang Chi smiled with satisfaction and said to Slim: "We need time to discuss the offensive plan, no problem!" ”

"Of course no problem!" Slim replied.

After a pause, Slim asked again, "Aren't you still going to let us participate?" We have artillery, at least to provide you with fire cover! And you should work with us too! ”

This suggestion was indeed very tempting, but Zhang Chi thought about it and still refused, he didn't want the chaotic British army to grow branches.

"Then at least let me know what your plans are!" Slim looked at Zhang Chi with an almost pleading gaze.

"I'm still the same." Zhang Chi replied: "Do you want to know the plan?" Or do you want to rescue the British troops trapped in Ringanqiang? ”

Slim gritted his teeth and forcibly suppressed his anger: "Of course it's to rescue the British army!" ”

"Then don't know too much!" Zhang Chi smiled at Slim.

That expression made Slim almost want to pull out and shoot the **** man in front of him who disrespected his superiors, but Slim knew that he couldn't do it, because the 7th Armored Brigade trapped in Ren'anqiang was all genuine British, and they were all waiting for the Chinese to save it!

In fact, Zhang Chi was not sure in his heart, although he knew how General Sun Liren fought this battle in history.

"Here's the thing!" After coming out of the headquarters, Wang Mazi drew a sketch on the ground: "The Japanese army built a solid bridgehead position at the other end of the Bin River Bridge, and at the same time occupied the 501 Heights, at the foot of which is a three-way road crossing, which can be said to be condescendingly controlling the transportation hub, and at the same time, the 501 Heights are adjacent to the Bin River in the north, and the Japanese army has arranged heavy machine guns, mortars, mountain artillery and other firepower on it, which can almost be said to block the Bin River!" ”

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but gasp, so to say that they have to pull out this 501 highland!

"How did those mountain cannon devils get up the mountain?" After a pause, the tank battalion commander said with some doubts: "You must know that it is a high ground at an altitude of 501, and it is full of jungles, and a penetrating army of devils can actually transport mountain artillery up?!" ”

The commander of the engineer battalion also felt a little incredible: "It is a trivial matter to transport this mountain artillery, and it is even more difficult to ensure that these mountain guns have enough shells!" ”

Of course, Zhang Chi understands these truths, first of all, the mountain artillery used by the devil has more than 500 kilograms each, and if it is in normal times, it is not very difficult to transport it up the mountain, because the reason why it is called "mountain artillery" is because it is suitable for mountain warfare, and it can be easily and quickly broken down into several pieces, and each piece is about 100 kilograms and then assembled after being transported up the mountain. The weight of its shells is also relatively light, only five or six kilograms per shell.

But the problem is that the Japanese army is interspersed with troops...... The interspersed troops who crossed the jungle to the Bin River as fast as they could, were they able to have mountain artillery and so many shells? It's a little hard to believe.

Wang Mazi couldn't help sighing and said, "Most of them are ghosts made by the Burmese Independent Volunteer Army!" ”

Wang Mazi is right, although the devil is an interspersed force, it stands to reason that the interspersed troops cannot carry much heavy equipment, but the Japanese army, which is interspersed with Binhe, is different.

First of all, of course, because the Japanese knew that they were going to blockade the British Seventh Armored Brigade, if they didn't have some heavy equipment, the Japanese army would not be able to resist the impact of the tanks no matter how tenacious they were, so they had to carry artillery interspersed.

The question of carrying artillery is whether there are enough artillery and shells? Bringing too much will slow down the penetration speed of the troops, and too little will not be enough to be effective.

However, this problem was quickly solved, and the Burmese Independence Volunteer Army mobilized a large number of Burmese people to help the Japanese army transport artillery shells, and the Japanese army only needed to transport the mountain artillery up the mountain, and then the Burmese would bring up shells one after another, and even bring a lot of food to the Japanese army...... This made the Japanese army say that they were grateful and shouted for friendship between Japan and Burma.

Of course, this was only a rhetoric or a superficial effort by the Japanese army to use the Burmese, and the Rangoon massacre launched by the Japanese army later did not show any mercy to the Burmese.

So now it's troublesome, and if you want to cross the Bin River, you have to pull out the nail of the 501 highland. Otherwise, don't think about the gods either.

In fact, this battle was fought in this way in history, General Sun Liren sent people to sneak across the river from both flanks, and sneaked to the vicinity of the Japanese artillery position on the 501 heights, and the next day when the battle began, the latent troops also launched an attack on the Japanese artillery positions at the same time.

Maybe Zhang Chi can also fight this battle in the same way.

But the problem is that it is the Engineer Regiment that is here now, not the new 38th Division.

It was a tough battle to take the 501 heights or even to attack the Japanese artillery positions, and the lack of combat effectiveness of the engineer regiment had already been exposed when it attacked the Binhe crossing just now...... The new 38th Division had no difficulty at all in attacking the Binhe crossing, but the Engineer Regiment was almost blocked, and if it weren't for the sniper rifle in Zhang Chi's hand, the Engineer Regiment would not know how many casualties it would have to pay to take it down.

If this is the case at the Bin River crossing, will the engineer regiment be able to take the Japanese artillery position and the 501 heights? I'm afraid that it will be difficult to sneak in the jungle in front of the Japanese artillery position!

Zhang Chi fell into deep thought again.
