Then Pete saw a Japanese officer with three soldiers from the jungle stooping forward, and he couldn't help but look at Zhang Chi in embarrassment and stopped talking.

Zhang Chi didn't take Pete's ignorance and rudeness to heart because he knew it was inevitable...... The reason why American instructors are instructors is that they feel that they are better than Chinese soldiers in terms of combat skills and tactical strategy.

This is theoretically true, because US military instructors have studied military theories more scientifically and systematically, but the battlefield is not just a piece of paper, just like the relaxed vigilance just now is the sixth sense that military theories cannot explain.

But at this time, Zhang Chi didn't have the heart to care about this, he focused his attention on the few Japanese soldiers who appeared in sight......

To Zhang Chi's surprise, the Japanese officer who walked in front was a lieutenant with two strokes, and looking at their movements, he was obviously aware of the danger on the other side, since he sensed the danger, how could this lieutenant hit the soldiers' guns with only three soldiers?

Then Zhang Chi quickly understood that this was another mistake of the Japanese army underestimating the enemy.

Based on the experience of the Japanese army in fighting with the Chinese army in the past, it is not a problem for a Japanese officer and three Japanese soldiers to deal with a Chinese army of 20 or 30 people, so this Japanese officer may have thought that this was already giving the Chinese army enough face.

From this, Zhang Chi made a judgment that it was very likely that he encountered a Japanese army that had never fought with the expeditionary force and did not know the combat effectiveness of the expeditionary force.

Zhang Chi guessed correctly, this Japanese lieutenant's name is Araki Yoichi, he belongs to the reconnaissance team of the 18th Division, and he has just been transferred from the second line to the front line to replace the friendly forces that have been in a stalemate with China for more than two months, so he has no idea that his experience in dealing with Chinese troops in China is not applicable in Burma.

To be exact, he knew, because friendly forces had warned Araki that the Chinese troops in Burma would not be easy to deal with, but Araki insisted that they were just polite words, on the other hand. He was also accustomed to the tactic of leading a few soldiers and going forward to reconnoitre, which he thought would fully demonstrate his courage in front of his subordinates and motivate them to fight bravely.

Unfortunately, Araki's search was directed to the hiding place of Zhang Chi and other Chinese soldiers, and due to the vegetation and terrain, the Chinese soldiers could clearly see them, but they could not see the Chinese soldiers. So Araki and the three soldiers walked around like dancing clowns in front of the Chinese soldiers.

The townsfolk turned their gaze to Zhang Chi, which meant that they were asking if they wanted to catch him alive.

Zhang Chi shook his head slightly, and then gestured to order the troops to spread out battle formation and prepare for battle.

The troops quickly spread out according to what they learned from the training base, which can be said to be the main points of the American army's battle, scattered into a defensive formation with a slight depression in the middle, and the artillery that followed behind also stopped. Assemble the mortar bottom sheet and adjust the elements to prepare the ammunition.

Looking at all this, Pete felt a wave of wonder and anger.

He wondered why the Chinese army was so active in a defensive formation that there were only four Japanese troops.

He was furious that the Chinese military had completely and unconditionally obeyed Zhang Chi's command, which made his American adviser look like a vase.

Pete doesn't know he's actually a vase...... At this time, even ordinary soldiers understood Zhang Chi's thoughts, knowing that the Japanese army was not just four people in front of them, and the defensive formation was formed to deal with the next Japanese charge, but Pete, the instructor, still didn't understand it.

But he is not to blame. He didn't have the slightest combat experience, let alone fighting the Japanese army, so Pete thought that the Japanese lieutenant in front of him just happened to pass by, otherwise it would never be possible to come forward to search with only three soldiers.

When everything is ready. Zhang Chi gestured to the calf and motioned for them to move.

The calf nodded, and a look of gratitude in his eyes made several of his soldiers ready for battle.

At this time, the calf was already a squad leader, which was inseparable from his hard training and excellent performance in the training base. More importantly...... Zhang Chi can see hatred in his eyes all the time, hatred for devils!

Araki, who was in front of him along the way, didn't notice that he had walked towards the Ghost Gate, and was still holding a gun and searching for concealment all the way. In fact, at this time, he was already aware of the danger, which can be seen from his slower and more cautious steps, but he continued to move forward because he didn't want to lose face in front of his subordinates because he didn't want to return in vain......

There is a piece of advice: "Don't worry about face on the battlefield, because it is likely to cost you your life".

Araki's actions confirm this...... Soon after, with a modest burst of gunfire, Araki and the two soldiers fell to the ground immediately. The remaining two soldiers, seeing that something was wrong, dragged the wounded Araki and were about to run back, but they were quickly knocked to the ground again.

After a brief silence, a roar was heard in the jungle opposite, and then groups of Japanese soldiers in straw hats and camouflage jumped up from the jungle and rushed forward with their rifles loaded with bayonets and towards the Chinese soldiers' positions......

Pete couldn't help but exclaim: "My God, there are so many enemies!" ”

However, the Japanese army obviously fell into the plan, and fell into Zhang Chi's plan of "showing the enemy weakness".

That's why Zhang Chi only let the calf fire in one squad...... This was not only to save ammunition, but also to make the Japanese think that the Chinese army opposite had only one squad.

In fact, after the burst of gunfire just now, the Japanese thought that there was a platoon of Chinese soldiers on the opposite side...... At this time, the Chinese soldiers were equipped with "Big Eight Grains" (note: the Big Eight Grains were the nickname given to the Garand rifle by the soldiers, because of its large size and ammunition capacity of eight rounds), and each squad leader had a Thomson submachine gun in his hand, so the firepower of this squad could withstand the Chinese army of the previous platoon.

But no matter what, the Japanese army still fell for it.

In fact, don't say that you think that the Chinese soldiers on the opposite side have a platoon, even if you think that even the Japanese army will also attack...... Because this Japanese army is a reconnaissance squadron with 180 people, and it is also an elite unit of the 18th Division, such a Japanese army can fight a regiment in China, so of course it will not take the Chinese army in front of it seriously.

But unfortunately this time they were wrong, and they were very wrong.

They were only halfway through before they were hit by fire that they had never experienced before, according to the memories of the surviving Japanese soldiers: "The fire of the Chinese soldiers was like dozens of machine guns firing at the same time, and there were many mortars...... We didn't know what was going on, and we couldn't believe it was the Chinese army that was encountered! (To be continued.) )
