Myanmar has always been a British colony, and the Burmese natives here have been ruled and exploited by the British for many years, and many Burmese people do not like the British very much in their bones. Compared with the arrogant British big nose, the Japanese, who had the same yellow skin and black eyes as the Burmese, seemed to be more able to win the support of the Burmese, and the British declared that the Japanese army entered Burma as an invasion, but many Burmese were willing to provide the Japanese army with British intelligence, and even participated in the National Salvation Army organized by the Japanese army to fight against the British army.

When the expeditionary force was defeated from Burma last year, the Japanese army had recruited many Burmese to help them search for the fallen soldiers of the expeditionary force, and many Burmese natives even led the Japanese army all the way to the India-Burma border. Although Tang Cheng had heard such topics from other veterans of the expeditionary force, he had never really seen the Burmese who led the way for the Japanese army or joined the Japanese army, and if he hadn't recognized the tattoos on the back of the other party's hands, I am afraid that he would really think that these guys were servant troops transferred from the South Seas by the Japanese army.

Since he is Burmese, it is much easier to do, although he has not seen with his own eyes what kind of combat effectiveness the Burmese soldiers are, but Tang Cheng has heard some veterans of the expeditionary force say it. The Burmese are indeed good at digging into the forest, but when it comes to the ability to fight, it is too far away, and the Burmese are generally the characters who follow the Japanese army behind the butt to eat leftovers and fight the autumn breeze. The Burmese are indeed natural jungle masters, when Tang Cheng found the other party, those Burmese soldiers also discovered Tang Cheng and them, a Burmese soldier who came out of the grass on the opposite side suddenly stopped, and was pointing at Tang Cheng They don't know what they were shouting.

"Fire, fire" didn't care so much, let's talk about it first, Tang Cheng, who was half-kneeling behind the rotten wood, shouted and pulled the trigger of the submachine gun. The sound of submachine gun fire broke the silence in the mountain forest. The three Burmese soldiers in the front position had been hit by the rain of bullets and fell to the ground in convulsions, and the remaining Burmese soldiers reacted quickly, shrunk their necks and rolled into the grass behind them, and disappeared without a trace.

"Catch up, kill them, kill them all" Hearing Tang Cheng's shout, Yan Long rushed up quickly with a few scout cats, and they were also interspersed with each other to cover their advances while running. Everyone could not see the situation in the grass clearly, only the sound of brushing in the grass, and they did not know whether the Burmese soldiers were fleeing or the rock dragons were chasing the enemy.

In a sudden close encounter with the enemy in battle, the side that shoots first often occupies the initiative on the battlefield, especially psychologically. The Burmese soldiers were robbed by Tang Cheng and shot first, so they were beaten and fled, but they didn't dare to fight back. "Dada", the rock dragons who rushed into the grass opened fire, and after a few screams in the depths of the grass, the gunfire gradually stopped, and the grass was silent again.

The soldiers, who had long stopped shooting, saw Hou San's gesture, and they all gathered together in twos and twos and touched into the grass. The Burmese soldiers were almost always captured by the Japanese army from the local mountain people, who were more familiar with the forest than the expeditionary force. The quality of weapons in the mountains and forests does not determine the quality of the battle, so it is better to be careful at this time.

The bodies of the Burmese soldiers who were killed in the grass were found one after another, a total of 4 were killed, and 1 was also dragged out of the grass if he was injured and couldn't run, but looking at the bullet holes on the guy's body, I am afraid that he will not survive. Yanlong also retreated with the scouts, and they ran through the grass, and they didn't find any other Burmese soldiers, so it seems that there should be only a few Burmese soldiers here.

There was only one living mouth, and Tan Fei wanted to lean over to show off his Burmese language, but he saw that the living mouth who was dragged out of the grass by the scouts had already rolled his eyes, and more air came out of his mouth than he had inhaled. "Phew, it's really unlucky, I thought I could ask for some useful information when I had a living mouth, but who knew that it was a guy who was about to die." Tan Fei, who got up and stood up, couldn't stop complaining that Yanlong was too heavy, causing Yanlong and their scouts to laugh secretly.

It's just that he met a few Burmese soldiers on the way, which is not a big deal, Tang Cheng didn't have time to pay attention to Tan Fei and a few of them, just pulled Mike to look at the map. This map is a gift from Rick to Tang City, because it has been confirmed by aerial photography, and this map of Zuò made by the United States is far more accurate than the old map provided by the British. "Since we have all arrived at the periphery of Xinpingyang, why don't we fight first, just try the depth of this Japanese-Burmese mixed army, so that the people of the new first army can have a bottom in their hearts." Tang Cheng took out a cigarette but didn't light it, just put it under his nose and smelled the smell of tobacco, for Mike's tentative attack, Tang Cheng's opinion was to really fight with the Japanese-Burmese mixed forces in Xinpingyang.

Compared with Tang Cheng's insistence, Mike looked a little more conservative, "It's not that I don't want to fight, but you must know that we only have less than 200 people left, and the Japanese-Burmese mixed force in Xinpingyang has more than 2,000 people. Tang Cheng's face did not become embarrassed because of Mike's words, Mike's words did have a certain amount of truth, compared with the Japanese-Burmese mixed forces, Tang Cheng's strength was indeed not worth mentioning.

"But I still want to fight them, you can also see the reaction of the Burmese soldiers just now, the Burmese soldiers are not as good as the members of the security regiment, and the Japanese-Burmese mixed troops in Xinpingyang look like there are more than 2,000 people, but if those Burmese soldiers are removed, there should not be many Japanese troops left, as long as we plan properly, we may not have the capital to fight them." Tang Cheng said this, dotted his finger on the map, and then put his hands together and made a gesture to surround the ambush.

"I have carefully pondered the terrain of Xinpingyang, it is indeed a place that is not easy to fight, but I have chosen a place, as long as we can occupy this place, we can occupy the most powerful terrain, so that the Japanese army in Xinpingyang has to find and fight with us." Mike lowered his head and calculated the actual distance between the place mentioned by Tang Cheng and the New Plains Ocean according to the scale of the map, and the result of the calculation made Michael a little dumbfounded, the place that Tang City was referring to seemed to be in the southwest of the New Plains.

"This is it, the scouts I sent out have already seen it on the spot, and say it's not a very high mountain. If we occupy this mountain, even if we nail a thorn in the hearts of the Japanese army, I will make them feel uncomfortable and have to come to the door to fight us. The terrain of this place is not very favorable to the attacking side, so I said that as long as we occupy the hill in advance, you can just count how many Japanese troops we have killed by then. Ignoring Mike's disdain, Tang Cheng was a little complacent.

Occupy a favorable terrain to control the southward path of the Japanese army in Xinpingyang, this is the method that Tang Cheng came up with, Mike called Hou San and they discussed it carefully, and they all said that although this method is a bit of a death and resurrection, it is also much stronger than the command headquarters ordering them to keep attacking and harassing the Japanese army in Xinpingyang. "That's okay, since that's what everyone means, then let's settle here, take this place as much as possible, and I can ask the headquarters for another airdrop of supplies." Mike, who was still a little hesitant, was finally persuaded by Tang Cheng, and he had already begun to prepare supplies and supplies for this plan in advance.

Mike asked the command for supplies and provisions, and Tang Cheng naturally would not object, but at his request, Mike deliberately concealed Tang Cheng's upcoming new plan. Although the place Tang Cheng pointed out to Mike was less than 5 kilometers away from Xinpingyang, such a distance was a bit embarrassing for the Japanese brigade-level artillery team, and all the Japanese mortars and Type 92 infantry guns could not have a range of more than 5 kilometers. Even the 75 Mountain Guns, which claimed to have a maximum range of more than 8 kilometers in the Japanese Wing Artillery Corps, had a maximum range of 5 to 6 kilometers.

Tang Cheng chose this place, one is because of the terrain there, and the other is 5 kilometers away from Xinpingyang. Even if the Japanese army in New Pingyang had heavy mortars, they could not shell the hill they wanted to control in Tangcheng in New Pingyang, and once the Japanese artillery came out of New Pingyang, Dice and his snipers would not let go of the Japanese artillery lightly. In the 5 kilometers after leaving New Plains, there is too much terrain suitable for snipers to carry out attacks, as long as you first destroy the Japanese artillery or artillery group, the rest will be much easier.

There is a more important reason, Tang Cheng can't tell Mike the truth, the direct company has already killed and injured too many people, and Tang Cheng really doesn't want to take his soldiers to drill the forest all day long and deal with the Japanese army. As long as he occupies this hill, which is only 5 kilometers away from Xinpingyang, he can openly declare to the Ramgar command that he is attacking Xinpingyang, no matter when the troops of the New First Army going south really occupy Xinpingyang, he will not be able to run away from the credit of taking the initiative to attack Xinpingyang.

"If you don't fight, let's slowly work with the little devils here to see who can consume more energy than whom." Only in front of Hou San and a few of them would Tang Cheng tell the truth. He just wanted to occupy a place where he could talk without backache, no matter how unaccustomed the old men in the command department were to the direct company, at least he wanted to let Stilwell know that the direct company was attacking Xinpingyang according to his intentions.

Chinese pay attention to finding a backer, although Tang Cheng already has an American passport and identity, but he is still an officer in the army of the Nationalist Government after all. Regardless of whether Stilwell's signboard is good or not, at least in the sequence of the expeditionary force, Stilwell can still speak, and Tang Cheng has to pick up Stilwell's stinky feet if he wants to tide over the difficulties in front of him.
