In the upper reaches, which was still ten miles away from the enemy's artillery position, Zhang Chi led a battalion of soldiers who were heavily armed to change to a small boat driven by a motor and rushed to the front of the fleet.

This kind of boat is a common means of transportation for the people of Myanmar, and its function is somewhat similar to that of a taxi, and tourists or people can take this kind of boat to reach their destination quickly if they go out on the river. Of course, because it's fast and convenient, you also need to pay a higher fee.

But cost was not a problem for the Yankees at all, and Stilwell, in order to make the fleet have faster and more agile attack power, bought fifty of these small ships in one go, and spent some time loading each small boat with an anti-aircraft machine gun, and even replacing some of the old motors with new ones, so that the small boats were transformed into armed speedboats.

This time, more than 400 people from Zhang Chi's battalion boarded more than 30 speedboats and quickly approached the target under the guidance of aerial reconnaissance planes.

The walkie-talkie kept reminding the pilot of the reconnaissance plane:

"Eight miles to the target."

"Keep going, five miles to go!"

"Slow down, the target is around the bend ahead! I saw the Japanese setting up positions......"

It should be said that the Japanese were also very good at choosing the location of the ambush, and they chose the artillery position at the bend of the river.

The speed of the flotilla had to be slowed down here, and at the same time it had to make a detour here, and while going around the bend, the flotilla would be within range of Japanese artillery fire, so that the Japanese could sink as many Chinese ships as possible with limited artillery fire.

Zhang Chi thought that the Japanese commanders might be dreaming of recreating the Chinese fleet and asking for credit from their superiors.

But things will never be as simple as the Japanese army imagined.

What the Japanese commanders did not take into account was that the Chinese army at this time, no matter when and where, would be able to obtain accurate information about the Japanese army in advance, and this information would even be detailed in terms of when the Japanese army was dispatched, how many troops and how many guns they had, in which direction they went, and where they finally arrived.

Needless to say, who provided this information. Burmese, of course.

At this time, most of the Burmese people had become the most loyal and reliable eyeliner of the Chinese army, and the blame for this can only be blamed on the Japanese in Burma...... This made the Burmese see the Japanese face thoroughly, and resolutely fell to the side of the Chinese army.

Once you know the exact information, the rest will be easy.

For example, now, the Japanese artillery still did not know anything, staring at the river in the jungle and waiting for the arrival of the Chinese army's fleet, but they did not know that a Chinese army had already landed on the shore and silently approached them like a cheetah approaching its prey.

In ten minutes, Zhang Chi led the soldiers to the edge of the Japanese artillery position, and a Japanese mortar position was less than 100 meters in front of him, and Zhang Chi could even hear the Japanese army's conversation:

"Ma, this place is not far from Yangon, and the Chinese army can actually fight here. Doesn't that mean ......"

"Don't guess, this Chinese army may have just slipped in through the loopholes in our defense line!"

"Yes! I guess I slipped in! However, Hirayama-kun, I heard that the Chinese army that slipped in is not a small unit, in this case, the battle on the front line is not good! ”

"I heard that after the Chinese were equipped with American-style equipment, they had repeatedly defeated the 18th Division, which is really regrettable! The 18th Division is already overwhelmed, otherwise it would not have allowed the Chinese to fight here! ”

……

At this time, Zhang Chi realized that his interspersed force would succeed in the end. But at least psychologically, it shook the morale of the Japanese army and the confidence of resistance, which to some extent was also a psychological war!

However, Zhang Chi didn't stop long, he made a gesture to the back, and the fellow townsman took one of them around in the other direction.

Then Zhang Chi whispered a few regular cricket crickets into the walkie-talkie to the speedboat detachment. So the speedboat detachment got into action.

"Rumbling ......" With the sound of motors, five speedboats suddenly sprang out from the corner of the river like several crocodiles that pounced on their prey, and at the same time, several anti-aircraft machine guns on the speedboats did not see the target or not. In the jungle, there was a flurry of fighting, only to make the branches and leaves in the jungle "crackle" and fall straight down.

The devil was startled by this sudden attack, and hurriedly set up his cannon and aimed at the speedboats to shoot pieces of shells......

From this point, it can also be seen that the quality of this Japanese army is not very good. These speedboats were obviously a kind of fire reconnaissance, and because of their fast speed and small size, the shells fired by the Japanese either fell behind them or exploded a column of water next to them, which looked scary but did not pose any threat to the speedboats.

Zhang Chi was waiting for this moment...... You must know that the Japanese artillery is deployed in the jungle, and it is not concentrated, so it is really troublesome to find one door here and one there. As soon as the Japanese opened fire, it was much simpler, and the Chinese soldiers could hear the position of the Japanese artillery from their voices.

So Zhang Chi no longer hesitated, and ordered in the walkie-talkie: "Do it!" ”

Then the Japanese soldier who took the lead raised his rifle and pulled the trigger on the front......

"Bang bang bang......" After a few shots, the Japanese artillery collapsed in a pool of blood without even understanding what was going on.

The situation of the Japanese troops in other positions was similar, their attention was completely attracted by the speedboats on the river, and even because they were firing artillery into the river, the deafening sound of the artillery made them not hear the gunfire nearby at all, and even if they did, they thought that it was their own people shooting at the river, so they did not take it seriously.

As a result, the Chinese army easily wiped out the Japanese artillery positions one by one by following the sound of artillery.

The battle went very well, and after half an hour the Japanese artillery was either killed or abandoned and fled into the jungle...... This is not to say that they are not heroic enough, originally they are artillery did not have the advantage of fighting against the enemy's infantry, not to mention that these enemies still made a name for themselves American Chinese.

But Zhang Chi soon realized that something was wrong, because the artillery they cleared were all mortars and mountain artillery, and the information they got was that the Japanese artillery regiment also carried more than a dozen large-caliber howitzers.

After confirming this situation with various departments, Zhang Chi realized that something was wrong, these dozen or so large-caliber howitzers were probably deployed in the rear because of their long range, and those speedboats failed to attract their attention just now, so they did not fire.
