A shirtless Japanese soldier with a 38-large cover in his hand stood on the top of the mountain, waving his military uniform, and signaled Chu Aiyun to provide fire support from the side.

Chu Aiyun pulled the trigger, hit a long point, and seeing that the hit was dusty everywhere, the guy was stunned for a moment, threw away his clothes and ran away.

"Malegobi, is there something wrong with this gun?"

He realized that he had only carried out a few field marching training sessions in this company, and had spent more time studying radio and tactics, but he had not fired a single shot, and this firing showed his cowardice, and he did not hit a large living person at a distance of 100 meters. Retrospectively, he had already come into contact with the disc-shaped crosshairs when he snatched the Japanese plane, and at that time he felt that the bullet was off the stakes, and he did not grasp the essentials of interval correction, and he forgot about this stubble after a while, and he did not think about it carefully.

"Zhou Youfu, come closer."

The gunfire rang out, and he kicked the driver below on the shoulder, signaling him to keep closer.

The Japanese soldiers began to return fire, and the bullets crackled on the front armor, and the frontal armor was able to resist it for the time being. He turned the pistol turret and continued to shoot a few short points, this time with tracer rounds to correct them. Sweeping the place, I saw a Japanese soldier with a rifle thrown and fell to the ground.

"Stop, watch out for the flanks." He hastened to remind the driver to stop. Zhou Youfu closed the viewing windows on both sides, leaving almost no side vision. At this moment, a seasoned Japanese soldier was coming around from the side with the help of artemisia grass, wearing a steel helmet and not seeing a gun, perhaps with *.

"Reverse, reverse."

He shouted and turned his gun, but the Japanese had disappeared behind the grass. In this hellish place, the weeds grow taller than humans in February. He hurriedly shot a point shot at the general direction, not knowing if it hit or not. But I watched a * thrown high and fell about 20 meters away. He quickly retracted his head.

There was a bang, and some clods of earth collapsed onto the hull, but the fragments were not heard hitting the armor. He had a hunch that this * was just some kind of cover, and that hand-to-hand combat was inevitable, so he loosened the buckle of the box gun on his waist, and then got out of the machine gun tower and searched around.

The Japanese soldier rushed out of the artemisia grass and ran to the flank and rear, apparently taking advantage of the clumsiness and weakness of the chariot, or had he fought with such a chariot before?

He hurriedly stepped on the pedal and rotated the machine gun tower counterclockwise, but the Japanese soldier moved very fast, and Zhou Youfu, who was completely confused about the situation, turned in the opposite direction, which counteracted the speed of the machine gun. The Japanese shouted, rushed over, holding the second one* in their hands.

Chu Aiyun straightened up and flashed his pistol. Condescendingly, he fired several shots and knocked down the daring Japanese soldier. It seemed that a shot had hit him in the ankle, and he was unable to collapse, and the pistol jammed.

He lowered his head and pulled the bolt to draw the bullet, and the Japanese soldier slammed on the steel helmet*, threw it at the chariot, and landed a few meters away on one side. Chu Aiyun hurriedly lowered his head, and the fragments from the explosion flew over his scalp.

"Zhou Youfu, still alive?" He noticed that the car was parked and quickly screamed.

"I'm fine, I'm fine."

He drilled out of the machine gun tower again, and could see that the Japanese soldier was no longer dead, and threw it too close, and the shrapnel exploded on him. For the sake of safety, Chu Aiyun used a machine gun to shoot a point shot, which made him bloody and honest. But when the car moved again, he felt the body tilt visibly to one side. It seems that the devil's * fragment blew up one side of the wheel, hoping that the wheel hub is okay, but there are two spare tires on the car.

The Japanese troops on the hillside in front could not resist and began to run in this direction, apparently driven by frontal fire. Chu Aiyun ordered the car to be reversed, and the 221 chariot retreated crookedly, not allowing a devil to have a chance to run past the side of the vehicle. At the same time, he kept shooting, and before the entire chain of bullets was emptied, 6 corpses fell in front. Jiang Weiguo's chariot rushed up the hillside and knocked down a pole planted there. Then he quickly swooped down, gaining a downward firing range, forming a deadly crossfire with Chu Aiyun.

After a minute, the gunfire gradually subsided, and the various vehicle groups began to advance in close formation, searching for the remaining enemy. No Japanese surrender was achieved from beginning to end, and a few cold shots were heard from time to time, but these sporadic fires did not work against the steel plates of 221. The chariots are close to each other, making up for each other's blind spots in the field of vision and firing range. One of the Japanese soldiers limped out and tried to get under the armored vehicle, but he was quickly hit by crossfire, and then his body exploded, apparently he was desperate.

Finally, the gunfire ended, as if there was not a single living mouth left.

Everyone got out of the car with guns and cleaned up the battlefield to see what documents could be found, and the soldiers wanted to leave quickly, but they couldn't leave now. Because the deputy company commander had to change the spare tire in the car.

Soon, someone found the maps and documents that the Japanese road construction troops had carried with them.

When Chu Aiyun ran to Jiang Weiguo, he was looking through the documents of the Japanese army's field road repair troops, and from this document, he could not see the deployment of the Japanese army, but he could clearly see the direction of the road planned in the future. Most of Burma was still a wilderness, which was not conducive to large-scale attacks and troop supplies, so for the time being, the Allies judged that the Japanese army could only advance along two routes, one was to attack Mandalay in the north along the Yangon Railway, and the other was to follow the Yangon-Rakhine road to the direction of the Qintun River. But now it seems that Iida's idea is not so simple, and the Japanese army sent such a road-building force early on, and they are ready to build a strategically important road.

"Look, deputy, they're going to quickly build a muddy and gravel road from here to the Shan Mountains? It looks like there's a ghost. Jiang Weiguo said, "But what is the use of this level of highway? When the rainy season arrives, it will be washed away. ”

"Company commander, this means that their operation will start by April and end before the rainy season in June." Chu Aiyun said that he knew the history and knew the core idea of Iida to capture Lashio before the Tianchang Festival and cut off the retreat of the entire expeditionary force, so he could naturally explain the reason according to the situation. Over there, Jiang Weiguo looked at Chu Aiyun in surprise, as if he was looking at a monster.

"Brother Chu...... Do you really think so? ”

"Not bad. If you think about it, when did the Japanese army break through our battle deployment at home, did it not avoid the real or the false? ”

"Isn't it the whole army attacking Mandalay? Dividing troops in battle is a taboo for soldiers. ”

"Iida is known as a wise general, and the Japanese army is also very good at outflanking from the flanks. The division of troops is naturally a big taboo for our army, which is not clear-sighted, but for the Japanese, they have the advantage of intelligence, but they do not commit any taboos, and how much can we know about the current movement of Japanese troops at the front? ”

"Abandon the big road and drill the camp road?" Jiang Weiguo hesitated for a moment, and then smashed his fist on the armor plate next to him, "That's right, this is indeed the usual method of the Japanese, that is, to launch a long-distance attack from the most incredible place with the unparalleled hard-working spirit of the Japanese Kou?" ”

"Hard-working, how can our soldiers ever be bad?"

"Yes, with what I have seen, the judgment of the top brass of the national army is clumsy and the response is slow, which is really chilling."

"Sir, Shi Headquarters called, constantly asking for our location."

Jiang Weiguo hesitated, he expected that if he spoke to Stilwell's staff, there would probably be nothing good to say. And because the call will be monitored, there is no way to report the major gains at the moment.

"Company commander, in fact, my brothers and I can testify that we have not received any communication from them. So we can do it cheaply and ignore the intentions of headquarters. ”

Chu Aiyun said.

"Yes, company commander, just with the Japanese major engineer we killed and the captured Japanese road construction plan, the intelligence value is far greater than what the Americans can obtain from that plan." Someone next to him chimed in.

"Well, you don't have to respond to calls. Our reconnaissance units need to be highly flexible in dealing with the enemy at the right time, and do not need to obey orders from their superiors at all times. We packed up and waited for the tires to be replaced, and we continued our assault to the south. Being able to send the road construction troops to such a far-reaching distance, it seems that Hedong is the weakness of the Japanese army. Be sure to go a little deeper today. ”

At this time, Stilwell probably scolded people in a righteous manner, he found that the attack of the three platoons ended hastily, and after a long fight, they each returned, and what was even more annoying was that the company commander could not be found, only said that he had gone to reconnoiter alone, in order to prevent the ubiquitous Japanese spies, no one even knew that they had crossed the river. Of course, in fact, there was not much loss to him, and the British planes that said that they had come to reconnoiter in the early morning did not come. However, the Japanese troops in the village should have been more depressed, originally prepared 2 brigades, strengthened anti-tank weapons, and prepared the national army that was ready to enter Burma, but the Chinese army was so cowardly that they retracted without entering the ambush circle.

Chu Aiyun continued to take the lead in the search. He knew that there was a pontoon bridge of the 55th Division ahead. If the garrison is insufficient, of course, it must be cut off, so that the heavy forces in the west bank cannot be mobilized, which is very suitable for them to continue to operate on the east bank. In the encounter just now, he was deeply impressed by the fighting spirit of the Japanese army's second-line troops to the death, even if they were caught in crossfire, they did not scatter, but desperately resisted to the last man. However, there seems to be a big problem with the anti-tank training of the Japanese army. They looked very stupid to drill under the tank.

"I said Lian Deputy, you are really a god." Driver Zhou Youfu said, "How do you know that there is no main force of dog days after crossing the river?" ”

"How do I know? Brain-wise, of course. ”

"Gee, I'd love to drive you. My last commander was a bad man, and when he was marching in the night, he stuck out his head and looked blindly, and his head hit a tree. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, take a good look at the car, don't you?

"Medium!"

Chu Aiyun had no time to listen to his nonsense, he sat in the machine gun tower, and looked around with his helmet and binoculars. It's like a submarine raising its periscope. He searched for the place to cross the river on the map, and saw smoke billowing from a distance, as if a large cart was coming. The Japanese made full use of the railroads built by the British, and at the same time built pontoon bridges over the river to facilitate the distribution of supplies and marching routes along the river.

"Did Lao Zhou see the dust in front of him?"

"See, it's not like a truck is raised, it's like a cattle truck."

"Stop in the weeds there, and I'll go down and scout."

When the chariot stopped in the woods, Chu Aiyun got out of the small door below, with a camera, and carried this thing so that he would not be empty when he went to Stilwell in the future, and the stereotypes of the Chinese army of Stilwell's team seemed to be deep-rooted, and they seemed unwilling to believe empty words, whether it was the intelligence of the military commanders or the witnesses on the front, so they had to be on guard. He quietly climbed a tree. There was a lot of noise ahead, and an artillery unit was passing through a pontoon bridge. Behind the horses was large-caliber artillery, and the military commander obtained information that the Mawlamyine port detectives did not see the Japanese unloading more than 75 mm guns, and they judged that the large-caliber artillery was still at sea, and there were still days to get here, but just what he saw was a squadron of large-caliber artillery. However, it is not a field artillery but a mountain artillery, and the weapon configuration is quite targeted.

"105 mountain artillery. 37 rapid-fire guns. Good fellow, it's not good. ”

He pressed the shutter and photographed the enemy's artillery, judging that the mountain artillery squadron of the 55th Division or the heavy artillery unit attached to the army was crossing the river, and the weak firepower of the reconnaissance platoon could not be forcefully encountered, so it could only be bypassed.
