Not telling the British army about the battle plan is not to be arrogant. He did so for two reasons:

First, the Anglo-Burmese army and the Anglo-Indian army were very chaotic at this time, and after several battles, it could almost be said that they had lost their will to fight, and it was almost suicide to cooperate with such troops.

More importantly, Zhang Chi knows very well that the Burmese soldiers in the British and Burmese army at this time don't know how many are in the British camp like Ding Lun and their hearts are in Burma, and it can even be said that many of these Burmese soldiers themselves are spies of the Burmese Independent Volunteers, and if they cooperate, the battle plan is likely to be transmitted to the Japanese conference table through the Burmese Independent Volunteers in the next second.

Therefore, out of the consideration of cherishing life, it is necessary to get as far away from the British allies as possible.

Of course, the equipment was much more reliable than that of the British army. Wang Mazi unceremoniously accepted ten tanks, twenty armored vehicles and a large amount of ammunition provided by the British army...... Ten tanks is a bit small, but as Slim said, most of their tanks and armored vehicles are trapped in Ringanqiang, and there is no way to do it.

When the soldiers replenished the ammunition and receiving equipment, Zhang Chi and Wang Mazi and several other officers gathered in a circle next to the tank to discuss.

Zhang Chi told the information about the Japanese army that he had just obtained from Slim, and the officers couldn't help frowning.

"No wonder the British can't beat it after a few fights!" Xu Chengdong, commander of the second battalion, pointed to the map and said: "Look at this terrain, on both sides are the highlands occupied by the Japanese army, although the elevation is only more than 50 meters, but it is condescending to form a side-fire fire, and there is only one road for tanks to advance forward from the middle to the ferry...... This is not suitable for tank attacks. ”

Xu Chengdong, the commander of the second battalion, is a veteran who has fought for more than ten years, although he has been working in the engineer regiment since he was a soldier, but there is a saying that "I have never eaten pork and seen a pig walk", so I have combat experience after a long time. Because he spent a long time in the engineer regiment, the soldiers called him "engineer battalion commander".

"Then we have to pull out these two heights first!" Li Yong, commander of the third battalion, said: "However, it is not easy to pull out these two heights, the terrain and elevation angle are not conducive to tank attacks, but the devils can support each other on the two heights and the ferry, and the strength of the devils at the ferry is also comparable ......to ours."

Li Yong, the commander of the third battalion, was originally a company commander of a tank regiment, and one day during training, he was standing on the tank to direct the tank forward, but he didn't expect that the tank was a recruit...... Since then, Xu Chengdong's vertebrae have fallen into problems, and the weather has changed or he has been in a cold sweat when he sits. Although he still wanted to continue to drive tanks, tanks were treasures in the first class, and members had to be the best of the best, so Li Yong was transferred to the engineer regiment as a battalion commander.

Because of this qualification, the third battalion commander also has the mourning title of "tank battalion commander".

"Battalion commander, what do you think?" Wang Mazi asked.

"I ...... What else can I see? Lin Sen, the commander of the first battalion, replied a little sneeringly: "I, no opinion!" ”

The first battalion commander, Lin Sen, was born as a carpenter, don't look at him sitting in front of the map a little dazed, but what kind of wood can be turned into a stool or a scoop in his hand with just a few clicks. In addition, his name is full of the word "wood", so the soldiers called him "Wood Battalion Commander".

"Look at you like that......" Wang Mazi looked at Lin Sen and then at Zhang Chi with some annoyance: "People say that what kind of officer can bring out what kind of soldiers, how can an officer like you bring out a soldier like the third platoon leader?" ”

"That'...... I'm lucky! Lin Sen showed a mouth full of yellow teeth.

Zhang Chi said with some embarrassment: "Battalion commander...... is an expert in building fortifications, and we have to learn more like a battalion commander! ”

"Look...... People can talk a lot! Wang Mazi raised his head at Lin Sen.

Lin Sen only knew to grin.

It is said that a person like Lin Sen generally cannot be such a big officer as a battalion commander, but the engineer battalion is different, because when his eyes are on the fortifications, he is a thief, and the soldiers he leads can always use the least wood and the fastest speed to build the strongest fortifications or bridges.

"Tell me what you think!" Wang Mazi asked Zhang Chi: "You seem to be confident in front of the British just now, do you have a way to take the ferry?" ”

This was said right by Wang Mazi, because Zhang Chi knew how this battle was fought in history, so he only needed to copy it.

So Zhang Chi pointed to the map and said: "What the second battalion commander and the third battalion commander said just now are right, although we have tanks in our hands, the terrain of the ferry is still not suitable for a strong attack. However, you can't attack but you can outwit it, I just learned from the British that the Japanese army has fought with the British army several times, so they have developed a kind of psychology of underestimating the enemy, and every time the British army sends troops to attack the ferry, the Japanese not only do not defend but also launch a counteroffensive, and they even hope to capture a few tanks or ammunition to supplement their lack of firepower! ”

"Hmm!" Hearing this, all the officers showed joy on their faces, except for Lin Sen, an officer who was not familiar with fighting.

"That should be true!" The tank battalion commander said: "The Japanese army is an interspersed force, and they don't carry much ammunition and heavy equipment, plus the British have a nest, if this were me, I would also think about taking something from the British!" ”

"Then why has the Japanese army not succeeded?" There was something strange about the commander of the sapper battalion.

"Hey!" Wang Mazi replied without thinking about it: "The British are running too fast, and the devil can't catch up!" ”

There was a coax, and the officers all burst out laughing.

"So!" Zhang Chi concluded: "We can take advantage of the fact that the Japanese army is light on the enemy and wants to replenish equipment and ammunition from the enemy to lure the Japanese army into taking the bait, and I think we can first send a company to attack the Japanese army under the cover of several tanks and armored vehicles." Seeing that the Japanese army had such a small number of troops for this attack, and that they had tanks and armored vehicles, it was very likely that they would jump out of the fortifications and counter-encircle. So ......"

Speaking of which, Zhang Chi drew a circle around the ferry.

"Yours!" Wang Mazi patted Zhang Chi's shoulder and laughed: "Just fight like this, this is called ...... Lure the snake out of the hole! ”

The plan soon moved to the stage of detailed distribution, such as which troops to use as bait, which troops to ambush, where they were located, and so on.

Of course, none of this needs to be Zhang Chi's concern, what Zhang Chi needs to care about is to try to recall every detail he knows about this battle, because he knows that there is such a thing as a war, as long as there is a situation in one place or a little bit is not thoughtful, it is very likely to cause a situation of losing everything.

From a point of view, it is not easy to copy other people's playing styles, especially the tactics of a generation of famous generals General Sun Liren.
