Although it was a completely asymmetrical battle, the Japanese were not completely powerless to fight back.

The Chinese army is characterized by good equipment and strong firepower, and in this characteristic, it is easy for the Chinese army to ignore one point, that is, the accuracy of shooting...... This is actually a sequelae of American equipment, American tactics, and logistics, and there are a large number of bullets and artillery shells, so it seems that there is no need to pay attention to the problem of accuracy in fighting a war.

This habit also affects the infantry, who often lean out after the tank, regardless of whether they see the target or not, just pull the trigger and "bang bang bang......" and finish the eight rounds in the magazine in one go.

This is not to say that Zhang Chi is reluctant to use these ammunition, in fact, the Yankees have ammunition, and the Yankees also advocate this style of play, but Zhang Chi knows a little...... No matter what tactics or methods of play are on the battlefield, as long as they form a pattern, it is not a good thing.

The law is formed unconsciously, and sometimes it is formed without knowing it, but the enemy is analyzing you, studying you, and after grasping the law, he will immediately make a counterattack against this law.

Hence the saying: "He who knows you best will always be your enemy."

This law of the expeditionary force soldiers was quickly grasped by the Japanese army, so the Japanese soldiers divided into several groups and stared at the gap in the middle of the tank with rifles, and when the expeditionary force soldiers leaned out and pulled the trigger, they fired a round of bullets.

Because the soldiers were accustomed to retracting after two or three rounds or even eight bullets, the Japanese army had plenty of time to aim, and the Japanese army's marksmanship was extremely accurate, so the soldiers who leaned out fell in a pool of blood one after another, and even most of them were shot in the head and died.

This tactic of the Japanese army was so effective that the fighters did not even dare to shoot for a while. As a result, there was a vacuum in the tank on the infantry cover, and the devils took advantage of this time to rush up with grenades and explosives bags......

But the devil didn't succeed in the end, because at this time the sniper rifle in Zhang Chi's hand played a role.

With a "bang", a Japanese soldier holding an explosive bag was knocked down in front of the tank.

Zhang Chi did not lean out from behind the tank to shoot like other soldiers, he knew that the Japanese army had locked those positions, with the quality of the Japanese army. Even if you lean out and shoot only one bullet, and then retract your head in the shortest possible time, it is still dangerous.

Therefore, Zhang Chi was lying on the ground and aimed at the Japanese troops in front of him through the gap between the tank chassis and the ground.

Of course, because this gap is only a few tens of centimeters, Zhang Chi's first bullet can only hit the target's foot, but this does not affect Zhang Chi's killing, all he has to do is wait for the Japanese soldier's foot to be hit and fall before making up a shot in the head.

"Bang!" A Japanese soldier holding a magnetic anti-tank mine was knocked to the ground by Zhang Chi.

The Japanese soldier was almost on the verge of success, and he approached the tank at an angle exactly where the tank tracks were...... This should be a coincidence, because the Japanese did not expect that Zhang Chi would take advantage of the gap under the tank chassis to snipe.

This coincidence prevented Zhang Chi from aiming at him, but Zhang Chi clearly found the legs approaching the tank in the gap of the tracks. And it's pretty close.

In desperation, Zhang Chi jumped up from the ground, grabbed the gripper at the back of the tank with one hand, and jumped onto the back of the tank with a brace, then suddenly raised the gun and stood up, fired a bullet, and then retracted as fast as he could.

It was this bullet that killed the Japanese soldiers, and all the Japanese soldiers who were on cover duty did not think about it...... Someone would suddenly stand on top of a tank and shoot.

"Bang!" When the third bullet was fired, a Japanese soldier holding an anti-tank mine was killed again.

This time, Zhang Chi took a risk...... He leaned out and shot like any other warrior.

But Zhang Chi's leaning out is different from other fighters, other fighters leaning out and retracting after firing a few bullets, if Zhang Chi does the same. I'm afraid that he is a corpse on the ground at this time.

Zhang Chi was running from one tank to another at a fast pace, because he didn't stop at the edge of the tank because he kept running. This deprived all the Japanese troops who aimed their crosshairs at the tank and lost the opportunity to snipe Zhang Chi...... Or it can also be said that those Japanese soldiers were one step slower than Zhang Chi, because Zhang Chi only heard the "whoosh" sound of bullets flying in his ears, and these bullets were obviously aimed at him.

As he ran, he raised his rifle and fired a bullet forward, which once again freed the tank in front of him.

Then the Japanese had no chance to launch such a similar attack. Because at this time, the tank had already crossed the ruins where the Japanese were hiding, and with the sound of machine guns, the Japanese soldiers fell in a pool of blood in a miserable scream.

This is just a sudden or insignificant crisis that could happen at any time in battle.

This kind of crisis does not mean that the disparity in strength or firepower between the enemy and us does not exist or will not occur, just as now, it can be said that the new 1st Division and the 36th Anglo-Indian Division will easily take this Xib. But the dangers of the battlefield often happen unexpectedly.

What Zhang Chi didn't know was that there was another bigger crisis on the battlefield in Xibu at this time......

The Japanese army Osa Yamazaki Nobukazu knew that Xibu could not hold it, so he decided to take a desperate gamble, and he prepared to use the only ten Type 97 tanks in Xibu to cover the infantry to launch a counter-charge against the enemy.

This choice is correct, first of all, the tank should be placed in an offensive position in the vast majority of this thing. The second is that Xibu has no danger to defend, and instead of waiting to be scattered and defeated by the enemy, it is better to take advantage of the Japanese army's hand-to-hand combat to fight back.

I don't know whether the Japanese army intentionally or unintentionally, the breakthrough they chose was the 36th Division of the British Army.

At this time, the 36th Division of the British Army was lying in the individual fortifications and waiting...... They were ordered to wait until the Chinese soldiers had beaten the Japanese to the same extent, and then rush forward to achieve the final victory.

Of course, they know what this "final victory" means, and to put it mildly is to receive the results. Of course, both British and Indian officers in the Anglo-Indian division were happy to obey this order.

However, they did not expect that at this time a Japanese army was planning to launch a counter-charge in their direction, and this Japanese army was still determined to die...... With the strength of more than 300 people in two squadrons to attack the enemy's division, even Nobukazu Yamazaki himself did not believe that he could rush out. (To be continued.) )
