This idea of passive resistance soon spread from the 113th Regiment to other units.

The 113th Regiment is a Chinese unit after all, and the soldiers of the 113th Regiment are more or less connected with fellow villagers and comrades-in-arms, and no Chinese soldier can stand watching their own troops being bullied like this, not to mention that the American instructors who always regard the Chinese as second-class people in the various units have such and such problems, so the soldiers of other units are thinking: Today is the 113th Regiment, then tomorrow may be their turn.

As a result, although the number of soldiers of the expeditionary force was much larger than that of the Japanese army, the battle against Bamo was somewhat unbearable.

Of course, the Japanese army could not fight, and the logistics of the Sino-US coalition forces at this time had already kept up, and if the Japanese army dared to attack, it would be a shell to smash back.

"Zhang ......" Pete handed Zhang Chi a cigarette and said, "Things are like this, don't you do something?" ”

"What can I do?" Zhang Chi asked rhetorically.

"For example......" Pete thought for a moment and said, "You can give a suggestion to the Chinese officers, and I can also give a suggestion to the American instructors, so that they can cooperate like us...... We've always had a great time working together, haven't we? ”

"This is indeed it!" Zhang Chi replied: "But I don't think it will do anything!" ”

"Why?"

"It's like wrestling your wrists!" Zhang Chi said: "If I win you, or if you win me, then there is no problem. But if the two sides are not much different in strength and are deadlocked in the middle, then no one will obey the other, so the cooperation between us is only a special case! ”

"Oh!" Pete nodded thoughtfully, then patted his flabby shoulder with a smile and said, "Obviously, our cooperation is that you won me." ”

This is part of the American personality, they are more generous and straightforward, and some words, Chinese will feel unconvinced and faceless when they hear them. Yankees tend to readily admit it.

For Zhang Chi, he actually prefers to see this situation appear, because he never wants the Chinese army to be under the control of the Yankees, especially the Yankees, who are not experts in jungle warfare and Japanese tactics, will command indiscriminately.

This incident was a headache for Stilwell and Davis, especially Davis, even if he had plenty of excuses, but this battle was always commanded by him, and in the final analysis, he still turned this originally very beautiful surprise attack into a glue battle.

"What do I think we should reflect on?" "If this happens, something has to go wrong," Stilwell said. ”

Stilwell was actually quite disappointed in Davis, and he originally wanted to use the Galahad troops to ease the conflict between Chinese and American officers. Unexpectedly, the performance of Davis and Galahad's forces was counterproductive.

And Stilwell also knew very well that Davis did have improper command in this battle, although it is impossible to verify how many troops the Japanese army originally stationed in Ba Mo, but Davis used the main force for air defense, and the facts proved that the Japanese army did not send a single fighter in the direction of Ba Mo.

"General!" Davis said with a pale face: "I never think that I have any mistakes in command!" ”

What Davis said does not mean from military theory, but military theory does not mean actual combat...... That is to say, he has never understood or pretended not to understand a simple truth, and the correctness of military theory does not mean the correctness of actual combat.

"Hmm!" Although Stilwell spoke harshly, because Davis was invited by himself, he couldn't give Davis too much face. So he thought about it and replied, "I believe you are right, but in order to ease the current situation...... I hope you can take a break from command for a while! ”

"General, this ......" Davis was about to say something, but he clutched his heart and broke out in a cold sweat, and he couldn't say anything next.

"Hygienist!" Stilwell yelled. He knew that Davis had a heart condition, and Davis must have been stimulated by it.

But that's fine, watching the hygienist scrambling to feed Davis the medicine, Stilwell thought...... The nature of handing over command due to illness is completely different from voluntarily handing over command. The latter is a soft submission to Chinese officers, which is likely to make Chinese officers further disobedient to the command of American instructors, but if it is the former. That is to tell the Chinese officers that they have not shaken the command position of the American instructors.

Stilwell quickly replaced Davis with Patno in command.

But this was actually Stilwell's helpless choice when he was in a hurry to make a substitution, but there was no one available.

Patno is a chief of staff, and before he took command of this 20,000-strong Sino-US joint force, he basically had no experience in commanding a large corps of troops, and what is worse is that Patno is a typical person who sits in his office and reads reports, basically does not go to the front line for field investigations, and comes up with a battle plan at a glance.

Of course, because Stilwell had already replaced Davis in some way as the Chinese forces demanded, and the Chinese troops were unfamiliar with the new commander, they ended their resistance to the American instructors and returned to the battlefield.

Patno's command of the attack on Bamo can be said to be nothing new, it is the classic American tactic of sea of fire, that is, using artillery to push in front of the Japanese defense line.

This tactic may still be useful in Lingbang, because the Japanese army at that time did not know that the Chinese army was equipped with American equipment and had such powerful firepower, but the current Japanese army has long known the situation of China's firepower after fighting with the Chinese army, and even they know how the Chinese army is trained and what tactics they will use.

The reason why they know this is because the Japanese army once killed a platoon commander of the expeditionary force in battle, and if it was just an ordinary platoon commander, it would not be surprising, and there were more officers above the platoon level who were killed on the battlefield. But the problem is that this platoon commander is a knowledgeable and educated platoon commander, and he also has the habit of keeping a diary.

The Japanese army took out a diary from his pocket, which recorded in detail the training and even the level of weapons and equipment that the platoon commander received in Sun Brabang.

So, there are a lot of things on the battlefield that seem to be a trivial diary but are likely to contain a lot of unexpected and valuable military information.

After obtaining this diary, the Japanese army learned in detail about the tactics and firepower of the Chinese army, so they made various targeted measures when building fortifications.

As a result, the Chinese army could almost be said to be in a stalemate with the Japanese army at Bamo. (To be continued.) )
