Chapter 34 American Tactics

ps: In the book review area, I saw some book friends who thought the description of the US military was a bit too much, but in fact these plots were not fabricated by soldiers. The soldiers never denied the role of the United States in World War II, Myanmar and even the Chinese battlefield. But these are facts and even more than that. It was just that the US military was an ally of China at that time, so there was no publicity or just a brief overview. Interested brothers can hinder the "Myriechina Battle". There were two US military commanders, one was Merrill and the other was Betno. They both pushed their mistakes to the Chinese army, causing strong protests from the Chinese army and almost triggered mutiny. In the end, Stilwell had to transfer the actual command power to the Chinese general he did not trust because he found that the US officers were worse than the Chinese officers.

The formation of the Japanese Naga contingent was unfolding along the front line. The advantage of this was that it could rush into the Chinese army's defense line as much as possible and start hand-to-hand combat as soon as possible.

It can be imagined that if Zhang Chi had not arranged explosives in front of the defense line in advance and if the devil had not ordered the detonation of the explosives in time, then these Japanese troops would have rushed into the defense line and fought with the soldiers before the soldiers could react...

If this scene happened, it would probably be a nightmare for Chinese soldiers: the characteristic of American tactics is to avoid hand-to-hand combat and close combat as much as possible, so Chinese soldiers also did not conduct hand-to-hand combat related training during Sun Brabing training. This aspect is still the shortcomings of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, while the Japanese army is very strong in this regard. It is no problem for ordinary Japanese troops to fight several times in hand-to-hand combat, not to mention that this is the Naga task force of the Japanese army. So if dozens of Japanese troops rushed into the defense line, it would be enough to tie all the soldiers on the 217 high ground into the bayonet.

But there is no if on the battlefield.

The Japanese army did not expect that the Chinese army would lay explosives in front of the defense line, so they used this formation along the defense line to bring disaster to themselves... As soon as the explosive exploded, it would blow more than 60 Japanese troops rushing to the position and collapsed. Some of them were directly blown to the sky by the explosives, and some were knocked to the ground by the gravels raised by the explosives (Note: When the Expeditionary Force arranged the explosives, they deliberately buried a pile of rocks the size of a hard fist together with the explosives, so that they would blow these stones everywhere when the explosives exploded). Even if some Japanese troops luckily avoided the explosives and gravels, they would temporarily lose their combat effectiveness in this sudden explosion... The impact of the explosion and the loud noise would shake the Japanese army down, dizzy, deaf, etc.

So when Zhang Chi ran out with a rifle, he saw the Japanese soldiers rolling on the ground and screaming. There were not many people standing there soberly.

Zhang Chi didn't think much about it and immediately shouted: "Grenade!"

The soldiers quickly realized and threw grenades down without saying a word.

At this time, the soldiers were equipped with US mark2 grenades. Although the direct killing radius of this oval grenade is only five to ten meters, it has uneven marks on the surface. This will cause it to produce a large number of fragments when it explodes, and the killing radius of the fragment can reach about fifty meters.

So with a "booming" explosion, the position soon became quiet... The Japanese army, who were still struggling and screaming just now, had almost become dead corpses.

"Grenade!" Zhang Chi shouted again.

Anyway, Americans have some ammunition, and they can use it with ammunition to provide more protection for the lives of the soldiers, so they should be used without hesitation.

This can be regarded as a luxury for the Expeditionary Army soldiers, so they were a little surprised when they heard the order. But soon after, they threw out a row of grenades again.

The facts proved that this row of grenades was also meaningful, because a few more screams came from the darkness... It was obvious that this was the Japanese fish that escaped the net and endured the pain and did not speak out, hoping to save their lives.

"Be careful of the warning in a row!" Zhang Chi ordered: "Come wherever there is a sound. Don't step out of the trenches. Do you understand?"

"Yes!" The fellow villager responded.

This is also the American style of fighting... If the Chinese style of fighting, we should launch a counterattack to completely eliminate the Japanese army in front of us. But Zhang Chi believed that there was no need to do this at this time. There were no few people left in the Japanese army in front of us under several consecutive rounds of explosions. Even if there were survivors, they would still hold explosives or cluster grenades and wait to die with the Chinese army. Therefore, launching a counterattack at this time was exactly the same as the Japanese army's wishes.

Sure enough, seeing that the Chinese army had no intention of counter-charge, in the dark, a Japanese man slammed a grenade and jumped out of the dynamite bag and rushed forward with an explosive bag... The Japanese man was injured and couldn't wait. After waiting for a while, he was afraid that his blood would run out and he didn't even have the strength to rush forward.

But they obviously did not have any effect on doing this, and they were wiped out by the soldiers who were prepared in a few seconds.

After the entire battle, the 217 Highland successfully blocked the Japanese army's charge at the cost of only one minor injury.

However, the 145th Highland was not so lucky. The Japanese army rushed into the 145th Highland with one charge and then broke into a random kill. Fortunately, the company commander of the second company stationed at the 145th Highland was smart... In fact, it cannot be said that he was smart. He also implemented the American tactics idea. When he saw that the situation was not good, he immediately ordered to give up his position and retreat.

But to be honest, retreating at this time is not a good choice. The reason is that the enemy and us are close to the point of starting a hand-to-hand combat. At this time, retreating is likely to be killed by the Japanese army like a duck driving... In fact, the Japanese plan is exactly what the Japanese plan is, which is also the reason why the Japanese army will send a team of "Chinese troops" to infiltrate Lingbang. Their plan is to kill Lingbang in one go after capturing the two high grounds.

It should be said that the Japanese army's plan is likely to be successful. It will even chase the Chinese army all the way and cause countless casualties and injuries to the Chinese army.

But unexpectedly, an accident occurred on the 217 Highlands... The Japanese army not only failed to capture the 217 Highlands, but was completely wiped out in a short period of time, so the situation of the war reversed.

"Flag!" Zhang Chi shouted.

Several flares hit the 145th Highland with constant gunfire. Under the light of the flares, Zhang Chi and others could see clearly that the Japanese were chasing the soldiers of the Second Company all the way to Lingbang, and even the Japanese army was deliberately not shooting and killing the soldiers of the Second Company who were retreating in front... The Japanese army wanted to let the Chinese soldiers of the Second Company rush forward so that the Chinese army located in Lingbang would throw rats and dare not shoot. So the Japanese army could follow the Chinese soldiers into Lingbang.

What the Japanese army wants is hand-to-hand combat and close combat!

But now their wishful thinking cannot be made.

"Fight!" With Zhang Chi's order, the soldiers raised all kinds of weapons and fired balls of bullets to the Japanese army. In an instant, the Japanese army following behind fell to the ground one by one like wooden stakes.

The elevation of the 217 high ground is several dozen meters higher than that of the 145 high ground, and the straight-line distance between the two high grounds is only more than 200 meters, so the soldiers can easily aim at the target.

The condescending firepower of the 217 Highland quickly caused the enemy and us to separate the enemy and us, so the Chinese artillery located behind Lingbang quickly played a role. They smashed the Japanese army hard on the heads of the rear. When the shells splashed the mud on the highlands, they also pushed the Japanese army into the air in pieces.
