324 IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Chu Aiyun still hadn't touched the doorway for take-off and landing, but the frontal projection of the cavalry on the Anglo horse was much larger than that of an infantry advancing with a cat on his waist.

He remembered the old adage that a man shoots a horse before he shoots, and decides to shoot at the horse. The Japanese cavalry did not intend to shoot with rifles at targets with half steel helmets leaking from the distant machine gun towers on undulating horses, and they divided into two teams and formed an outflanking formation. Chu Aiyun felt that most of the anti-tank training received by the Japanese cavalry infantry was wrong, but the innate superiority of armored vehicles was indeed not something that they could turn around with the right tactics. The Japanese shouted and drew their sabers, which shone brightly in the scorching sun, and the enemy rushed towards them like a bunch of fools waiting to be slaughtered.

Zhou Youfu did not wait for the instructions of the company deputy, he started the throttle, and crashed into the enemy's left flank, he had encountered the Japanese cavalry during the battle of Lanfeng, and knew that 221 had an absolute advantage over the cavalry, but if the cavalry approached, the cavalry would still appear relatively high, and then they might have the opportunity to condescendingly slash the head of the company deputy.

Chu Aiyun pulled the trigger and fired at the frontal enemy cavalry, the enemy formation was dense, and in an instant it was beaten to the side, this machine gun was well fixed, its power was enough to hit these strong horses, when they fell, eighty percent of the riders would be crushed underneath.

The 221 chariot roared towards the fallen horses and personnel, and the German instructor of the year had said that if you want to crush the cavalry, don't slow down. A wounded war horse tried to stand up, and the Japanese soldier with a dislocated hand on horseback kept shooting at the armored vehicle with a pistol until it was hit head-on by the armored vehicle.

Chu Aiyun felt a violent heaval on it, followed by the neighing and exhaustive shouts of the horses and personnel. He was afraid that the enemy would detonate under the chassis *, the Japanese did not lack such courage, but this did not happen. A 4-ton chariot kills a man and a horse in an instant. If it weren't for the fact that the battle was still going on, Zhou Youfu would even want to reverse the car and run it again.

Zhou Youfu continued to aim at a cavalryman who was limping with a saber and was about to rush forward, and the enemy raised his saber and slashed at the front armor plate, wasting the last chance to counterattack. With a scream, he killed the second enemy.

Chu Aiyun kept turning the firing line and called out the enemy in front of him. The enemy began to return fire with rifles, but in the face of tightly knit armored vehicles, there was little chance.

He changed the bullet chain and asked Zhou Youfu to quickly turn around and prepare to clean up another unit, because he was also tasked with protecting Jiang Weiguo. At the same time, three frontal vehicles were strafing the poorly prepared sidecar motorcycles.

These motorcycles were the only motor vehicles put into the hands of the Japanese on this improvised road, and they were unprepared for the heavy fire, and one man was overturned on his back. Jiang Weiguo immediately turned the machine-gun turret and turned his guns to shoot at the approaching cavalry before the enemy cavalry could reach the rear.

There was not much time for the reconnaissance platoon, and the threat came not only from the Japanese army, but also from the local natives around them, who would not hesitate to side with the Japanese once they figured out the situation.

Hundreds of locals gathered around them, watching in amazement as their benefactors began to kill each other. Seeing that those hiding in the shell of the turtle seem to have the upper hand.

Chu Aiyun also knew that he had to turn the machine gun to form a crossfire with other vehicles, but he was a little handful of reloading, and six or seven cavalrymen were already approaching from the side. Zhou Youfu reversing is also the best way to buy him some time to complete the reload. He fired in a hurry and could only fire at the nearest enemy. A war horse with no one in the saddle approached from the side, and he didn't have time to care, so he set up the enemy approaching on the other side.

The vigorous cavalry hid on the side of the incoming war horse, successfully deceiving Chu Aiyun's attention, a circus skill that did not work well in actual combat, and after the Japanese cavalry became a reconnaissance force, this kind of training that focused on riding was removed from the outline. On horseback, the second lieutenant stepped forward and occupied the blind spot behind Chu Aiyun's side. He picked up his saber and slashed down, holding only a whip antenna and a helmet between the saber and the back of his target's neck.

He slashed the antenna, but the thin, two-finger-wide saber lost its momentum. Chu Aiyun felt the wind behind his ears, and quickly shrunk his neck to dodge. The saber that had already curled the blade slipped on the M35 steel helmet, and Chu Aiyun felt that the back of his head had received an intermediate level, but he would not faint. The cavalry lieutenant lost his cool and raised his sword to slash the armor of the chariot. It wasn't until the muzzle of the black hole rose from below that I remembered to dodge. Chu Aiyun got up with his pistol and fired several shots at the second lieutenant within a short distance, but he dodged a few shots left and right until his rotten gun jammed again. However, Zhou Youfu slammed the steering wheel, causing Chu Aiyun on the machine gun tower to lose his center of gravity, and at the same time, the armored car hit the war horse that was almost leaning together. Seeing the Japanese army rolling down from the horseback, Zhou Youfu did not stop, and quickly changed the reverse gear, crushing the head of the enemy who could not move.

At this point, a small group of Japanese cavalry was completely wiped out, except for a few wounded horses, and there was no living mouth in sight. This result did not surprise Chu Aiyun, it was an armored soldier, how could the cavalry turn the tables?

Jiang Weiguo quickly jumped out of the chariot and led a Browning pistol to inspect the beaten staggered motorcycles, and the moment he had just strafed the lightning, he saw one of them straddle a brown leather map bag.

All four motorcycles were destroyed, all the sub-members didn't even have time to get out of the car, and now the broken vehicles are still dripping blood. A platoon commander followed Jiang Weiguo, carrying Stern*, to guard the surrounding villagers. Those enemies who were still sitting on motorcycles, just now shrouded in machine-gun fire, were almost completely human.

Seeing that the gunfire stopped, the ignorant villagers nearby boldly gradually straightened up and continued to pay attention in puzzlement.

Jiang Weiguo took the bullet-pierced map bag from the dead man, pulled out and unfolded the blood-stained map. Obviously, the task of this group of people is the same as their own, which is to go deep into the rear of the national army to conduct reconnaissance, and judging from the location marked on the map, they have reached the defense area of the temporary 55th Division in the rear. It seems that Iida is definitely a good standard-bearer, and when he laid siege to Yangon, he had already begun to lay out the second and even third steps.

"Company commander, a case of foreign wine was found on the devil's motorcycle. There are still a few bottles that have not been broken. The platoon commander said. Perhaps the Japanese army found it from the warehouse abandoned by the British during their reconnaissance.

"What wine?"

"It's whiskey."

"Keep it, a gasoline twist stuffed into the mouth of the bottle can be used as a *."

Jiang Weiguo hurriedly exchanged views with the deputy company commander, and then decided to return quickly, waiting for an opportunity to hit the enemy's pontoon bridge on the way back, so as to draw a perfect end to this reconnaissance mission.

Surrounded by hundreds of locals, they tore off the small Japanese flag from the car and headed north. In the evening, we rushed to the pontoon. The Japanese lacked communications equipment, it was still business as usual here, and the defense was rather lax. At this moment, a cart full of grain was slipped, and the righteous people pushed the horses and crowded on the bridge.

Without stopping, the four tanks lined up and rushed towards the Japanese pontoon, and they began to shoot from 300 meters away, all the way to the front. Break up the enemy's weak alert in a matter of minutes. These wheeled vehicles don't have devastating firepower, but they're perfect for surprise attacks on enemies with light firepower. The reaction of the Japanese after the surprise attack was once again in contrast to the composure they showed on the battlefield they were waiting for, and their counterattack was chaotic and sluggish. Chiang Weiguo's chariot rushed to the pontoon ferry, where several large carts were huddled together and could not move, and he braved the sporadic fire of the machine-gun positions on the opposite bank to ignite* and threw the grain at it. In an instant, it ignited the food that was brought from afar. The reconnaissance platoon did not get out of the car, but carried out an arson on the east bank of the enemy's float, and then drove away.

In the early hours of the morning, they crossed the Xitang River again from the place where they crossed the river, and returned to the defensive side of the Chinese army. During the river crossing, one or two pierced bullet holes were found on each tank and water began to bubble up.

No one was killed in the attack, and the only loss was a stab in the back of the head by the deputy company commander through a steel helmet, resulting in some minor concussions, but the intelligence value of the reconnaissance was staggering.

On the way back to the company headquarters, you can see another military vehicle arriving on the railway. The plate cars were loaded with T26 tanks, and apparently the rest of the equipment of the separate armored regiment arrived one after another. From a transportation point of view, the Chinese army's mastery of this railway is indeed an advantage. This view was reinforced after Chiang Weiguo crossed the river and saw the real supply lines of the Japanese army.

As soon as they arrived at the company headquarters, they didn't have time to wash their hands, and a group of jeeps had already arrived in the distance. The Jeep led by the Jeep is larger than the Willys Jeep on the main street, and there is one Jeep in the entire Myanmar of this kind of Dodge Jeep, and there is one at Stilwell's headquarters. Although Stilwell himself feared the attack and never rode in the car, the car carried communications equipment and actually became a mobile headquarters, which he had to carry at all times. In time, the nearby Japanese troops will be able to see the fame.

The major general got out of the car, slammed the door shut, and came here. Jiang Weiguo ignored him and continued to wash his face with his back to him, he was used to being fearless, of course, because the information he had gained today had enough weight.

"Do you know, how many calls did your Chief Luo and Chief Du make to my command today?" Stilwell, seven or eight meters away, began to ask, "You should really listen to the trembling voice of that lieutenant general, you should be proud, you are really the greatest captain in the whole of Burma." ”

Jiang Weiguo turned around, and the confidence on his face surprised the sneering Stilwell.

"General, reconnaissance units have a tradition of acting alone, and they also have the power to choose to communicate at the right time, or not to turn on the radio."

"Indoctrinate me with this set of bullshit that does not require discipline, this is the tradition of your Chinese army, in the American army, there has never been an excuse to act without authorization, and there is no delegation of command. Unless authorized by a superior. ”

"I'm talking about the German army traditions. From the point of view of the Germans, the reconnaissance company was always a special unit with considerable autonomy. ”

Stilwell was speechless for a while, he knew that he was not doing a likable role, and many people scolded him behind his back. But Jiang Weiguo was the first to dare to confront him face to face. And raised his German dogma.

"Looks like your adventure today has paid off?" He lowered his momentum and began to get down to business.

"Yes, we fought a few encounters and got the following information."

He directed Stilwell to the map on the table and the captured Japanese military documents, which could be seen to be covered in blood and some with bullet holes.

"The first is that our mastery of the enemy's sequence has seriously lagged behind, and the enemy's 33 division has gone ashore intact, and not at sea. They had already set up rear stations in the area, and even had their first horses to be treated. ”

Stilwell leaned down to look at the map, and when he saw the arrows, he immediately forgot about the unpleasant things.
