With the cooperation of the soldiers in Xujia Village, the reinforcements soon entered the Xujia Village Victory Division.

But the soldiers at this time did not have time to celebrate the division at all, but continued to attack forward with the extended artillery fire, and even a few fighters directly joined the bombardment of the Japanese troops on the front line of Xujia Village.

The sky slowly darkened, and the Japanese took advantage of this time to disperse into the jungle.

The Chinese army also knew this, but the shells were still fired in the direction of the Japanese in pieces...... These shells were not intended to kill the enemy or blow up positions, but to cover the sound of tank detachments interspersed along the mountain road.

The two tanks led by the tank detachment were the Sherman, both of which were equipped with forklifts at the front ends...... The Sherman is a multi-purpose tank that can be converted into an armored bulldozer by simply attaching a forklift to the front.

Of course, at this time, this shovel is not used to shovel soil, but many sections of the mountain road are not wide enough because of the trees, and it is easy to shovel down the thigh-thick trees after loading this forklift...... This is indeed a big stir, but firstly, the Japanese army has just been defeated and is busy hiding, and secondly, the explosion of shells and smoke around it is very well concealed.

Zhang Chi and the others followed behind the tank, and the tank at this time did not even have headlights, and completely relied on the driver's previous drills and the guidance of the infantry to move forward...... The guidance of the infantry is actually very simple, several infantry lie on the back of the tank and poke their heads out to look ahead, if the tank wants to deviate to the left, the infantry on the left will use the butt of the gun to smash on the tank, if it wants to deviate to the right, the infantry on the right will smash it, if it deviates too much, then smash it twice.

Because the speed of the tank was not fast, and the driver was already familiar with this mountain road, the road was very smooth.

Occasionally, there were a few Japanese skirmishers, but none of them expected that there would be tank troops interspersed here, and they didn't have suitable anti-tank weapons in their hands. So they had to rush up with their old ways, that is, with cluster grenades and explosives bags.

It should be said that at this time, the Japanese army was still very likely to succeed, because this was a mountain road, and the jungles on both sides of the mountain road were easy to hide, and the Japanese army only had to hide in the jungle on both sides, just waiting for the tanks to drive up and rush up with explosives bags.

It's a pity that there are also Burmese independence volunteers in the jungle, they are ambushed on both sides of the mountain road with Burmese knives in their hands early in the morning, as long as they see a devil touching them, they will touch them and give them a touch from behind.

So all the way along the way, the Burmese independence volunteers made a code with a flashlight...... This is an agreement between Zhang Chi and the Burmese Independence Volunteers, which means security. The other is to guide the tank in the right direction, and then there is the appearance that it is your own people who are in the jungle at this time.

Occasionally, the tank detachment would encounter a few Japanese soldiers hiding in the trees and release their guns, and the soldiers would not be polite to him, and the anti-aircraft machine guns on the tanks would sweep in the direction from which the gunfire came from, and in a few strokes the canopy where the Japanese snipers were hiding.

The convoy marched in the darkness for more than 10 minutes, and then turned around and ran into the jungle under the guidance of the Burmese Independence Volunteers...... This is the highlight of this intersperse, the mountain road will not lead directly to Panmai, so the tank must enter a road that seems to have no road but actually has a road.

This seems to be a road that does not seem to have a road, but it refers to a jungle overgrown with trees and kudzu that seems impassable on the surface. But the tank ran all the way effortlessly.

Originally, Zhang Chi thought that he would not be discovered by the Japanese army after walking into the jungle like this, but he did not expect that after only advancing for more than ten minutes, there was a cannon sound in front of him, and then one shell after another shell continued to explode in the queue of the tank, and suddenly there were shrapnel and branches and leaves flying everywhere.

Judging by this frame. The Japanese seemed to be prepared, and they had laid a trap ahead...... This made Zhang Chi feel strange, only a few people knew about this operation, and it was very secretive, how could the Japanese army know in advance and ambush here.

"Zhang ......" Pete shouted at Zhang Chi from behind another tank, "the enemy is prepared." Their artillery fire is fierce, the plan has failed, let's retreat! ”

Zhang Chi thought for a moment. He refused: "No, we shouldn't retreat, we should move on!" ”

"We're all going to die!" Pete yelled anxiously: "You can't do this!" ”

But Zhang Chi ignored Pete and gave a loud order: "All of them, break through at full speed!" ”

After hearing the order, the tank driver quickly stepped on the accelerator and rushed forward with the fastest speed to overpower the big trees.

Pete's judgment was correct, and the Japanese were indeed prepared to set up an ambush here.

But Pete's judgment was also wrong, because the original intention of the ambush set by the Japanese army was not aimed at Zhang Chi's troops.

The reason why the Japanese set up an ambush here was also crooked, and they happened to have captured a few members of the Chindi in the jungle not long ago.

After some interrogation, the members of the Hindit could not stand the pain of the flesh and lied that the Hindit troops would attack the Japanese headquarters from this direction...... The Japanese believed this information, because this is what the Chindit troops did, and for these opponents who had just blown up two supply depots, Tanaka Shinichi did not hesitate to send two squadrons of Japanese troops with a few mountain guns to ambush here and set up a pocket formation.

Some subordinates suggested that Shinichi Tanaka transfer the headquarters, as it would most likely indicate that the location of the headquarters had been exposed.

But Shinichi Tanaka's answer was: "I transferred the headquarters, what if the Chindit troops find out?" They won't burrow into our encirclement, let alone ...... I'm here to supervise the war, and if I run away just because of this danger, then how can I ask the soldiers on the front line to fight bravely?! ”

The subordinates think about it...... At the same time, I felt that two squadrons had already laid an ambush, and it was impossible for the Chindit troops to come with too many people, so it was not very dangerous! So there was no more persuasion.

But what I didn't expect was that the Japanese troops who were ambushed here were waiting for not the Chindit troops, but the Chinese tank troops, a tank unit with infantry and tank coordination...... It's like spotting an alien in a jungle war.

Therefore, when the Japanese commander Okada Konaka Saku watched the tanks easily crash into the trees and drive towards them like iron giants, he couldn't help but be so surprised that his jaw almost dropped.

The next second he was shocked, and now the first thing was to inform the rear command of this information and let the division commander escape, but it was too late, because Zhang Chi gave the order to attack, and the machine guns and tank guns on the tank fired pieces of bullets and shells before they encountered the Japanese army.
