The new regiment was ordered to immediately reinforce the American Galahad troops.

So Wang Mazi didn't dare to slack off, and immediately ordered the troops to march towards Hukou.

Zhang Chi couldn't help but smile when he heard the news...... In fact, there was not much need to rescue the Galahad troops, because the Japanese army at this time did not dare to stop and encircle and annihilate the American army.

Of course, if the so-called "looter" surrendered after only a few rounds of artillery by the Japanese army.

The truth is indeed as Zhang Chi guessed, Tanaka Shinichi did not order the troops to assemble at Hukou to encircle and annihilate the U.S. Army's Galahad troops, his judgment is that the reason why the U.S. Army is so vulnerable is likely to be because of its unstable foothold or weak will to fight, but if it is to be encircled and annihilated, it is very likely to stimulate the U.S. Army's will to fight, coupled with the Chinese troops that are still closely followed by morale, the result of such a fight is likely to make the Japanese army face a crisis again.

In fact, Shinichi Tanaka, an officer who was born chief of staff, took it for granted that he looked at the Americans from the Japanese point of view.

It is true that the Japanese burst out with amazing combat strength and endurance when they are under siege, but the Americans are a different story...... They often feel that it is unnecessary to persist any longer, that it will not have much impact on the situation of the battle, so it is just a waste of life. Therefore, if Tanaka Shinichi gritted his teeth and encircled and annihilated the US army, maybe he would really reap an unexpected victory.

But Shinichi Tanaka did not do this, and he ordered the Japanese to retreat as quickly as possible through the mouth towards Mandalay.

As for the U.S. military, then just continue to let the soldiers of those two squadrons surround it and prevent it from coming out to make trouble.

An order is an order, Zhang Chi still took the troops to return to the building, replenished the ammunition, and followed the troops to march in the direction of Hukou.

Knowing that the new regiment was rushing to reinforce the Galahad troops, Stilwell and the American troops of all arms and units worked very hard...... After all, it was their own troops, and they were special forces, and if they were surrounded and annihilated by the Japanese as soon as they entered the battlefield, then where would the Americans put their faces in the future.

So along the way, the new regiment basically didn't have to worry about the problem of supply and fire cover, and the artillery fire and planes were on call. The unit in charge of reconnaissance in front of the company often called for artillery fire to uproot all the suspicious trees in front of them when they found a Japanese sniper, and sometimes even called in fighter planes to bombard them indiscriminately.

This made the Japanese troops who fled along this road suffer a lot...... They came under heavier artillery and air fire than the Japanese in other directions, and what made them even more unbearable was the faster pursuers.

After the chase, there were even Japanese soldiers who left a white cloth on the tree, on which was written in Chinese characters: Chinese soldiers, don't chase, we haven't eaten for three days!

The soldiers couldn't help but laugh when they saw this strip of cloth, but more often than not, they scolded.

"These **** devils, you also have today!"

"When these devils chased us to Savage Mountain, how could they have thought of letting us go?!"

"That's right! It's just to chase harder! ”

……

So this strip of cloth not only did not slow down the soldiers, but also chased faster. Even at night they did not give up the march.

This made Pete a little unbearable, and he dragged his tired body forward and moved his steps while asking Zhang Chi weakly: "Zhang...... Are you Chinese all made of steel? How can you march day and night without rest?! ”

Zhang Chi couldn't help but feel a little funny, this is to save Americans, Pete should be more anxious, but he didn't expect that it was him who couldn't stand it.

"The Chinese are not made of steel!" Zhang Chi replied: "Their physical strength is far inferior to that of you Americans......

What Zhang Chi said is the truth, and it is also an objective fact, China is desperately short of supplies, so the soldiers of the expeditionary force who grew up in China are all skinny, although they have been fully replenished in the past few months and have gained weight. But physical strength and other aspects are still far from the American GIs.

"That's why they're doing it!" Zhang Chi glanced at the surrounding warriors and continued: "The reason is very simple, that is faith, the belief to go home. And the belief in revenge for your family and comrades-in-arms! ”

Pete nodded thoughtfully and said, "If there is anyone in this world who can defeat the murderous Japanese, it is you Chinese!" ”

This is true, because in the Second World War. China dragged down a full 29 divisions of the Japanese army on the battlefield, and the Battle of Kuah, which the U.S. military described as "Hell Island" in the Pacific theater, was nothing more than a division of the Japanese army.

Therefore, many people in modern times always have the argument that if the United States had not helped China in World War II, then China might have lost to Japan.

Let's not talk about the political naivety of saying this. No one will help anyone in the war, and while the United States is helping China, China is also helping the United States. It could even be said that China has helped the whole world...... If China had not dragged these 29 divisions, the whole world would probably have been under fascist rule.

Of course, politics is devoid of these assumptions and the question of who helps whom, politics is only about interests.

Under the fierce pursuit of the soldiers all the way, the Japanese army really let the new regiment chase miserably.

Because the new regiment marched day and night, the Japanese army also had to run day and night...... The difference is that if the new regiment is not reinforced, it will send a telegram and the transport plane will soon drop food and ammunition, while the Japanese army must have an empty stomach.

As a result, the soldiers could see the starving or exhausted Japanese soldiers along the way, which made the American instructors who followed the troops feel incredible:

"Why didn't they choose to surrender?"

"Why don't they stop and wait for us? Are you worried that we won't give them food? ”

……

From this point of view, the Americans still have not adapted to this brutal war, or rather, they still maintain their human innocence.

What made Zhang Chi's impression deep was a Japanese sniper he saw on the road...... Japanese snipers usually hide in trees, but this Japanese sniper was in the grass, and Zhang Chi later learned that he didn't even have the strength to climb the trees.

The sniper had been hiding in the grass and kept shooting in a position, and the bullet was loaded, but he never fired.

When the warriors surrounded him and captured him, he realized that all he could move was his eyes...... In this case, he is still insisting, let alone the Americans, this kind of endurance is a little creepy, even the Chinese soldiers feel a little creepy. (To be continued.) )
