*********

The morning light is shining, and the fog is clear.

The moon had made its last journey over Burma, and the sky in the east had gradually turned white, perhaps because of the proximity of the ferry to the Bin River, and the water vapor had formed a fog in the early morning under the effect of the temperature difference between day and night, and all the nearby jungles, villages, roads, etc.

Wang Mazi lay in the trench carefully camouflaged with weeds, looked at the Binhe ferry a few miles away with a telescope, and couldn't help but nod with satisfaction...... Such a foggy day was suitable for the engineer regiment to lure the Japanese in pursuit, because the Japanese could hear the sound of tanks but it was difficult for them to condescendingly shoot and lure the troops.

As the commander of the engineer regiment, Wang Mazi of course hopes that his subordinates will have as few casualties as possible, he knows that although the Japanese army's 38 cover has a slow rate of fire, but the marksmanship is nothing to say, he doesn't want to lure the troops to be shot by the Japanese army on the road before they complete the task.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Wang Mazi waved his hand at the troops hidden behind him, and two tanks and three armored vehicles led a company of troops to slowly press towards the Japanese defense line in the fog.

It was the troops of the first battalion and the second company that served as the decoy.

The reason why the second company was sent to lure the Japanese was because the second company suffered heavy casualties during the attack on the Keyonggang airfield, and it was not full until Pingmanna was replenished with new soldiers, but more than half of the full company were recruits with no combat experience.

It is conceivable that there is no need to pretend to send such a force as bait, and those recruits themselves have the timid appearance of the British army.

The sound of the tank's motor rumbled at first, but as it faded away, it became quieter, and then even the tank's figure disappeared into the fog as if nothing had happened.

Zhang Chi couldn't help but tighten the rifle in his hand, he didn't like this kind of weather, the visibility in the fog was only a few tens of meters, which made him very uncomfortable.

Thinking about it later, Zhang Chi felt that this should be the reason why he was holding a sniper rifle in his hand or gradually substituting himself into the role of a sniper.

A sniper will always want to have good visibility and be able to face enemies from a greater distance.

This is why there is no need to explain much, the characteristic of the sniper rifle is long-range sniping, and the scope on it is even a burden when it is close.

"Brother......" Zhang Chi's voice trembled a little when he heard the cry of the calf a few meters away, he was obviously frightened by this tense atmosphere.

This is not to blame him, this state of not being able to see clearly when his eyes are dark will itself increase the psychological pressure, not to mention that the calf is still a recruit who has never been on the battlefield.

"Don't talk!" Da Niu lowered his voice and responded: "It's okay, follow me!" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Chi couldn't help but want to laugh a little, and the big bull, who had also never been on the battlefield, was afraid that he was also nervous at this time, but he held on in order to comfort his younger brother.

The time between the twins and the twins is only a few minutes apart, why is the difference so big?

At this time, a sudden "bang" of gunfire broke the silence in the fog, followed by a dense burst of gunfire, and occasionally the Japanese army's "wah-wow-wow" screams could be heard.

After a while, he saw several figures appear in the fog, and Wang Mazi hurriedly ordered: "Don't shoot, don't shoot, your own people!" ”

In fact, Wang Mazi had explained this before the war, and it was very likely that the first to withdraw was the second company sent out to lure the Japanese army, but Wang Mazi was still not at ease...... There are many new recruits in the troops, and if one of them is too nervous and pulls the trigger, it is very likely that the whole army will be shot, and at that time, not only will the strategic goal of annihilating the Japanese army not be achieved, but one of their own companies will be knocked down in front of the position.

Fortunately, none of this happened, but the second company ran away a little embarrassed, not to mention running wildly, and there was no order at all...... Some of the recruits even ran back to the trenches with their teeth still fighting up and down.

The last to withdraw was the commander of the second company and a few veterans, and as soon as he came back, he reported to Wang Mazi: "Tuanza, the devils have caught up, and the gifts left for them are ready!" ”

The so-called gifts refer to two tanks, three armored vehicles and several cars filled with gasoline...... It seems a bit of a pity that tanks and armored vehicles are used to lure, but there is a saying that a reluctant child cannot trap a wolf, not to mention that this "child" is still a "child" of the British.

Of course, these gifts are loaded with a ticking time bomb.

"Well done!" Wang Mazi responded in a low voice, and then ordered: "All of them, get ready for battle!" ”

Of course, the Japanese army didn't know that there were thousands of Chinese ** people in the fog who were sharpening their knives and getting ready, and they still pursued while firing their guns, and they let out a burst of cheers when they chased the tanks.

"Finally some loot!" Zhang Chi heard the Japanese shouting loudly in the fog: "Hey, send a few people who can drive tanks over, we have captured two tanks!" ”

"Why did the British drop these tanks here?" Some Japanese soldiers questioned.

"Maybe it's because I can't figure out the direction in the fog!"

"Or maybe something went wrong!"

The Japanese were looking for reasons not to realize that they had fallen into a trap.

"There's a few more truckloads of gas!"

"Strange, how could the British attack our positions with gasoline?"

"Bastard!" Then I heard a Japanese soldier scold: "This is a trap set by the British, retreat immediately!" ”

But it was too late to retreat, and with a series of loud "booms", the tanks, armored vehicles, and cars all burst into flames, especially those filled with gasoline, which exploded into a huge flame, and the shock wave and heat it emitted even evaporated and dispersed the nearby fog.

So soon the Japanese army was exposed to the eyes of the soldiers, and at that moment Zhang Chi couldn't help but be stunned, and the Japanese soldiers who caught up with him were seven or eight hundred people, which means that the Japanese troops on the two heights were almost all out of the nest...... He had thought that the Japanese army would come in pursuit, but he didn't expect the Japanese army to send so many people.

It should be said that this is due to the British army, because it was the previous British army's several attacks on the Bin River crossing that made the Japanese army realize that the British army's attack was not worth mentioning at all, and even the British army's escape speed was surprisingly fast, and the Japanese army could not catch up no matter how much they pursued, and they could not even capture some equipment.

This time, the Japanese army wanted to take advantage of the fog to fight a war of annihilation, so except for a few people who were guarding the camp, the rest basically caught up.

At this time, the 700 or 800 Japanese soldiers had already been dazed by the indiscriminate bombing just now: some of them were looking for cover, some were ignited by gasoline and ran around with fire all over their bodies, and only a small part of them were holding guns and guarding all around.

"Hit!" At this time, Wang Mazi gave an order.
