Needless to say, the results of the Japanese raid were said.

This force of more than 1,000 people can almost be said to have broken into the trap laid by Zhang Jiao, and the machine guns on the Stuart tank and the rifles and machine guns in the hands of the soldiers spat out tongues of fire at the Japanese army at the same time, and the Japanese troops who rushed up were crushed in an instant.

With the current firepower of the Chinese army, if we talk about fighting an offensive war, the equipment advantage may not be obvious, but if we are fighting a defensive war, it will have an absolute advantage...... Garand rifles, Thomson submachine guns, light and heavy machine guns, mortars of various calibers, and tanks arranged in front of them to form a defensive line, these equipment are arranged in a standard defensive formation with a slight concave middle, and the ammunition smashed out is basically impossible for even a fly to fly in.

But the Japanese did not know this, and they could not find it when they charged through the grass and woods, so this interspersed force was very resolute and plunged headlong into the fire network of the Chinese army......

Zhang Chi only watched as the Japanese army in front of him rushed up and fell, rushed up and fell again, and the blood sprayed from the Japanese soldiers dyed the surrounding tree trunks red.

The Japanese were using bayonets to challenge the tanks of the Chinese army, and they paid a heavy price for it.

After annihilating this Japanese brigade, the Chinese army advanced again.

In the process of advancing, the tank tracks will inevitably crush some of the corpses into a pulp, which makes the American instructors constantly exclaim: "God, this is cruel!" ”

There were even U.S. military instructors who shouted: "Why don't you use a bulldozer to push these bodies away first?" ”

From this point of view, the US military instructors still failed to integrate into this tragic war, and if they really had to take the time to push the corpses away before moving forward, it was very likely that they would miss the fighter plane and bring unpredictable consequences to the entire battlefield.

Due to the rapid collapse of the Japanese army, the Chinese army was caught by surprise by the Japanese army...... The Japanese troops on the defensive line were originally ready to wait for the interspersed troops to disrupt the enemy's deployment and launch a charge, but who would have thought that their interspersed troops were not only not interspersed in place, but were completely annihilated in a short period of time, not only were they completely annihilated, but on the contrary, the Chinese troops were interspersed with them.

As a result, the Japanese defense line quickly collapsed under the fire of the Chinese army.

However, a situation similar to the one in the Battle of Lingbang in which the Chinese army chased the Japanese army all over the mountain did not happen, and the Chinese army was quickly beaten back. Moreover, the vanguard suffered heavy losses, and many fighters did not even know where the Japanese bullets came from.

Later, when I looked at it, I found that it was the Japanese army who had deployed the troops in the trees.

In the past, the Japanese army deployed stragglers or snipers on trees, but now they deploy troops on trees.

The advantage of deploying troops in trees is that they can be fired at from a high position, and there are often no dead spots...... Unless the target digs a hole and burrows into the ground.

But the disadvantage of this is that the troops in the trees cannot move, and they are only passively beaten.

The only way for the Chinese military to deal with this tactic was to blast the shells through in pieces until the trees were knocked down or the leaves were blown up.

Sometimes, even then, bullets would come from the trees...... The Japanese tied themselves to a tree, and even if they were wounded, as long as their hands could still move, they could still fight back.

This couldn't help but make the American instructors, including Pete, dumbfounded. Because the Japanese soldiers who tied themselves to the tree almost meant death the moment the battle began, they could not imagine how the Japanese could have done this.

The strategic intention of the Japanese army in doing so was obvious, that is, to delay the Chinese attack with these troops tied to the trees.

You must know that there are more than 100 kilometers away from Bamo, and if every tree has to be blown up like this, it will take several months to blow up Bamo.

Fortunately, Stilwell's plan for this attack on Bamo was not only a frontal surprise force, but also a Galahad force.

In fact, this cannot be said to be a Galahad force, but a combined force, which is a surprise attack force of more than 8,000 men composed of Galahad troops, a regiment of the new 38th Division, and Kachin guerrillas.

Of course. The protagonists of the surprise attack were naturally the Galahad troops, and the Kachin guerrillas' task was mainly to open the way ahead...... This guerrilla force was sold by the US military in exchange for a large amount of supplies, and there was no way to do it, and the Kachin people did not care whether the Chinese and American troops came to repel the Japanese and help Burma. They only recognize things.

The Kachin guerrillas, whose mission was to clear the way ahead, were still dressed in rags like savages, and they carried Enfield, 38 Gai, Hanyang, and even hunting guns...... It's not that the Yankees can't afford to arm this force with guns. Rather, they deliberately made this force like this.

As for the guerrillas, they are not required to participate in regular operations in the first place, and it does not matter whether their equipment will be unified or not.

And such equipment has another benefit. That is, it can confuse the Japanese army so that the Japanese army does not know which side these Kachin guerrillas belong to.

Some of the Kachin people who only knew supplies helped the Japanese army in the war and some helped the Chinese army in the war, so a problem arose: no one could tell which Kachin people were helping the Japanese army and which were helping the Chinese army.

The simplest way to distinguish is to rely on equipment: if a large number of American weapons are equipped, it will help the Chinese army, and if a large number of American weapons are equipped, it will help the Japanese army.

However, the Kachin guerrillas are now equipped with weapons made in all countries, and they do not understand the language of the Japanese army, so they can reconnoiter in front of the troops without worrying about the Japanese army's blockade.

Therefore, these Kachin guerrillas often fought with the Japanese army very calmly into the Japanese barracks, and then suddenly raised their guns and beat them indiscriminately. This caused a lot of trouble for the Japanese army, and finally even went so far that they had to learn a few words of Kachin dialect.

The raid force also mixed a regiment of Chinese troops, that was because the Galahad troops were a little unaccustomed to the soil, and many soldiers suffered from malaria and other tropical diseases before they had time to perform well after they arrived in Burma, so the original 3,000-strong troops were reduced to 2,000 troops, and the lack of troops forced Stilwell to change the idea of letting a purely American army serve as an interspersed force to fight a show battle for Chinese friendly forces to see, and changed to a mixed Sino-American army under the command of the US military.

Of course, the final result is still the US military, and it can also teach the "arrogant" Chinese army a lesson.

And in command of this force was the commander of the Galahad force, Davis. (To be continued.) )
