Chapter One Hundred and Eight

Therefore, as an excellent general, you should control your emotions as much as possible and treat every battle as objectively and calmly as possible.

Kiyosuke Matsui is clearly not such a general.

This should be said to be the fault of most Japanese generals, because when fighting at home, the Japanese army encountered too many situations when facing the national army, and even a few cavalry could occupy a city.

However, Matsui did not realize that his experience of fighting Chinese soldiers in the Chinese theater would not necessarily be applicable to the battlefield in Burma, even though the opponents were also Chinese soldiers.

For example, the engineering regiment he is now facing ...... If this is at home, the Japanese army can fight this battle with a ratio of 1:10 troops. In other words, to deal with this Chinese army of more than 1,000 people, the Japanese army only needs to send two or three squads of more than 100 people.

This is not an exaggeration, there is an element of quality, there is an element of equipment, and there is an element of morale.

However, this experience would obviously be very ridiculous if it were applied to Tang Ji in Burma, and in just a few minutes alone, the vanguard of the Japanese ambush had already suffered 6 or 700 casualties.

Of course, Zhang Chi hoped that the more stupid the Japanese generals, the better, and it was best to pull the troops to attack the high ground where the engineer regiment was stationed every time he charged, like Matsui Kiyosuke.

"Hit!" Following the order of the devil, the soldiers stationed on the 159 heights pulled the trigger on the Japanese army.

Obviously, the demon also has experience in dealing with the Japanese army, and knows that it is not appropriate to fight close when fighting the Japanese army.

The reason why it is said "inappropriate" is that the Japanese army is good at charging and stabbing, and it is tantamount to giving the Japanese army an opportunity to show their superb stabbing skills in the defense line. The other is that the Japanese army has grenadiers in their hands...... The Japanese charge has formed a fixed pattern, covering with grenadiers when entering a range of 200 meters, which is much better than the machine gun or heavy machine gun in the hands of the devil, because it can throw grenades into the soldiers' trenches, and a skilled grenadier soldier can completely use a grenadier to suppress an enemy machine gun. And once the infantry was covered and rushed into the 50-meter prison encirclement...... The infantry would throw another row of grenades, and then charge into the enemy line for hand-to-hand combat.

In other words, the Japanese army almost rushed forward with grenades, and by the time the Chinese army reacted, the devils had already rushed in front of them.

In the face of the Japanese army's style of fighting, if you want to put the Japanese army closer and fight again, it can almost be said to be looking for death!

This is the reason why the Japanese army ordered to shoot when the devil was still 200 meters away.

But the Adversary was still a little anxious...... It is true that the range of the grenadier is 200 meters, but it is on flat ground, and at this time it is the soldiers of the Japanese engineer regiment under the slope on the top of the hill. In this case, it would be good for the grenadier to hit a hundred meters from the bottom up.

After a rain of bullets, more than a dozen Japanese soldiers fell. Almost at the same time as the gunfire rang out, the charging Japanese troops invariably lay down, and then switched from charging to leaping forward to cover each other...... This made Zhang Chi a little surprised, it seems that no matter how lightly the Japanese devils are, they will not joke with their lives.

As soon as the Japanese army turned into a leaping engineer regiment, the fighters immediately felt the pressure.

This was mainly due to the superior military qualities of the Japanese army...... I saw that the charging Japanese soldiers were divided into several groups and lined up in a straggler formation, and they had a very tacit understanding, this team shot at the top of the hill, and the other team suddenly rushed out of the hiding place with the fastest speed and rushed to another cover in front of them, and their leaping movements were very flexible, and it could even be said that there was no pattern to be found.

On the other hand, the devil's marksmanship is very accurate...... The distance was more than 200 meters, and the Japanese army was still at an unfavorable bottom, but they were stunned one after another to knock the soldiers of the engineer regiment on the hilltop position to the ground.

Looking at the soldiers beside him who kept falling and all of them were shot in the head, Zhang Chi couldn't help but gasp.

It is no wonder that the 56th Division will be called the "king of jungle warfare", and it is no wonder that they will dare to rush up like this knowing that the terrain is not favorable to them, and it is no wonder that this unit in history will go all the way through the hurdle and go straight to the back of the expeditionary force.

After thinking about it, Zhang Chi ran back along the traffic trench with his rifle and his waist.

Zhang Chi didn't run away, but he didn't want to become the target of the Japanese army as easily as other soldiers...... It was a trench, and although it had been blown up by Japanese planes and artillery, the Japanese could clearly see where the trench was, so they could easily find a target on the front line of the trench.

However, if Zhang Chi hides outside the trenches...... It's not easy to find him.

After running for a few minutes, Zhang Chi found a suitable place for him to hide, a stump of a tree that had been blown off.

Zhang Chi opened the kettle and poured some water into the palm of his hand, then grabbed some dirt and water to make a paste, and smeared it on his face and hat with two strokes, and then he carefully climbed out of the traffic trench and hid behind the stake and poked out his rifle.

Although the soldiers of the Engineer Regiment had strong firepower because they had Enfield rifles, the Japanese continued to approach the hilltop position with their individual qualities and coordination between the squads. There were even Japanese troops who had broken into within 100 meters and pulled out grenadiers......

"Bang!" With a bang, Zhang Chi fired the first bullet.

This bullet knocked down not the grenadier shooter, but the secondary shooter who was about to deliver grenades to the grenadier shooter.

The grenadiers of the Japanese army usually worked in pairs, with the shooters armed with grenadiers and the secondary shooters following closely with grenades or grenades on their backs.

Zhang Chi originally had a chance to kill the shooter, but he chose to kill the secondary shooter instead.

The reason for this was that the shooter's position was near the crater, and even if he was killed, the secondary shooter would easily pick up the grenadier and fire a grenade at the hilltop position. But the secondary shooter was different, he was killed by Zhang Chi on the way to his destination.

Sure enough, after a while, the shooter ran back in hopes of snatching the ammo pack from the co-shooter, so Zhang Chichi pulled the trigger without hesitation and knocked him to the ground.

The third shot knocked down a Japanese officer.

The Japanese officers were easy to identify, as they carried a command knife around their waists and wielded a Wangba box (another name for a fourteen-year-old pistol).

However, Zhang Chi knew that killing a Japanese officer did not seem to have much effect, because for a well-trained unit, they would soon automatically transfer command to the next officer.
