Chapter 8: Feints

Thank you for the rewards of Tie Xiaozhu, the purest little Ai Shen, Xu Qingfan and other students!

********

When the three red signal flares rose into the air, Zhang Chi was still concentrating on fighting mosquitoes and ants.

I don't know how the Burmese did it, I didn't see how big the chickens and ducks they raised, but the insects were all fat and strong, and they only bit and itched all over their bodies...... Forget it, from time to time there will be one or two centipedes or poisonous snakes, centipedes or poisonous snakes, even if they don't move, they can't move!

This is not? Zhang Chi had just scratched a few itches and drove some branches, and the devil turned his head and glared fiercely, and raised the box cannon in his hand at Zhang Chi, which was clearly telling him: His grandmother, if you move again, you will be killed!

Although Zhang Chi also knew that he couldn't move at this time, after all, this was a pre-war lurk, and if the devil found out, it would mean that the strategic intention was exposed in advance.

But how can anyone who has not experienced it know the pain in this...... Motionless, those insects crawled and bitten on his body, and even some of them may be deadly poisonous insects, Zhang Chi only felt that he was about to go crazy.

From this point of view, it is understandable that the British army in history was almost immediately defeated on the battlefield in Burma, and fled as soon as it was defeated.

You must know that since these British colonized Burma more than 50 years ago, they have always looked down on the Burmese as masters...... The British, as masters, naturally coveted enjoyment, even the British soldiers, so although they were in Burma, they had never tried this kind of hardship in the jungle, let alone the corresponding training for jungle combat and survival.

On the Japanese side, although most of them have no experience in jungle warfare, the training of the Japanese army is extremely cruel and more inclined to exercise willpower and endurance, so their combat effectiveness in the jungle is naturally much stronger than that of the British army, which is raised in a greenhouse.

The squadron, it's not that they have strong willpower, but most of them are from poor families, and China has been in war for decades, so they are all used to the pain of these mosquito bites and don't treat it as a thing.

It's hard for Zhang Chi, a modern person, sometimes he really wants to blow himself up with a cannonball

However, when the guns really rang out, Zhang Chi was taken aback......

Before the flares landed, the only dozen mortars of the engineer regiment fired a row of shells at the Japanese position, followed by a dense burst of gunfire, and the bullets flew towards the Japanese position with a "whoosh" scream like locusts.

Of course, this is not to say how heavy the fire of the engineer regiment was, in fact half of the dense gunfire was fake.

Wang Mazi concentrated the light and heavy machine guns of the whole regiment on the front line...... Wang Mazi fought with the Japanese army and knew that the Japanese army was accustomed to judging the number of enemy machine guns to guess the size of the enemy, so Wang Mazi put as many machine guns as possible in the front, but even so, because a platoon of the engineer regiment only had one machine gun, the number of machine guns was still not enough, so he had to use some firecrackers to light in the iron barrel to fill the number.

Not to mention, firecrackers are really similar to machine guns when they explode like this, I don't know if the devil is scared, anyway, Zhang Chi is scared, at this time he has long forgotten what mosquitoes and poisonous insects, and he only lies on the ground tightly and doesn't dare to come out.

Of course, a feint attack is not just about firing a gun and setting off firecrackers, someone must rush up...... The devils are all veterans who have fought on the battlefield, and it is impossible for them to shoot indiscriminately when they are frightened by the sound of gunfire and artillery.

Therefore, the engineer regiment arranged a company in each direction to charge the devil's position in a straggler formation, and with the dense gunfire in the jungle, it really looked like it was going to take back the airport.

This forced the Japanese to shoot back, and a fierce battle ensued around the airfield.

The gunfire soon alarmed the headquarters of the 200th Division, which was located in Tonggu.

"What's the situation?" Dai Anlan, who heard the gunshots, looked in the direction of the airport and asked, "Which unit got into fire with the devils at the airport?" ”

"Report!" After a while, the signal corps rushed to report and said, "Report to the division's seat, it's the engineer regiment...... They besieged the devils of the airport and went! ”

"Nonsense!" Hearing this, Dai Anlan couldn't help but be furious: "How did this engineer regiment do it?" If you don't listen to the command, call them back immediately! ”

Dai Anlan knew in his heart that the equipment and quality of the engineering regiment were not at the same level as the Japanese army, and it was still possible to fight more and less, but the two were comparable in strength...... Such a rash attack on the airfield will not only fail to take the airfield, but may also end up in the annihilation of the entire army.

"Master!" Staff Officer Liang, who had just arrived, stopped the communication soldier who was about to give an order, and handed it over with a telegram and said: "Division, please see, Wang Ninghang, deputy commander of the engineering regiment, sent a telegram explaining the reason, they have blown up the tunnel and cut off the transportation line of the devils, and now they are bluffing to launch a feint attack on the Japanese troops at the airport, just wait for the devils to run out of ammunition and then take the airport in one fell swoop!" ”

"Hmm!" Hearing this, Dai Anlan couldn't help but be stunned, and then returned to the division headquarters to look at the map on the desktop for a while, and then nodded and said: "It seems that the engineering regiment is also prepared for battle, first cut off its transportation line, and then use the condescending terrain around the airport to launch a feint attack on the airport...... There are a few odds of winning in this fight! ”

"Master!" Staff Officer Liang continued: "Wang Ninghang explained...... The airport was lost in the hands of the engineering regiment, and Wang Ninghang wanted the engineering regiment to take it back and make up for it, hoping that the division would give the engineering regiment a chance to make up for it and give it support and cooperation. Wang Ninghang also said that these were his own decisions, and the crime of disobeying orders would be dealt with by the master after this battle! ”

"Humph!" How could Dai Anlan not know that Wang Ninghang was putting the responsibility on himself.

But in front of us is a very moment related to the death of 200 teachers and students, since the engineer regiment has successfully taken the first step......

Dai Anlan groaned slightly, and then ordered: "Pass my order, order the artillery regiment and the three battalions of the 600th regiment to cooperate with the engineering regiment's feint attack on the airport, and let Wang Ninghang immediately send me a detailed battle plan!" ”

"Yes!" Staff Officer Liang answered, turned around and passed the order.

The sound of artillery soon became more violent, and with the cooperation of the artillery regiment and the main force of a battalion, the engineering regiment could be said to have greatly increased in strength, and the feint attack was more like a real attack.

Now, it's up to you to see if this battle is a dead fish or a broken net!
