"Impossible!" Pete replied: "Our intelligence is provided by Chindit's troops, and their intelligence is very accurate!"

"It turned out to be the Chindite troops!"

I have also heard of Zhang Chi, the Chindite unit. The original name of this unit was "The 77th Indian Infantry Brigade", and half of the members were British and the other half were Indian and Burmese.

The reason why it is called the "Chindit Force" is that the famous British general Wingate, who formed this force, hopes that this force can get the support of the Burmese people, so he borrows the universal beast "Chindit" in Myanmar legend to name it... This is a bit similar to the Japanese using the Burmese faith to create a "Bomojo".

To put it simply, this unit is a special force established by the British army to conduct reconnaissance, destruction and sneak attacks behind enemy lines.

However, this army did not achieve great tactical achievements in history because the Japanese army was also very good at such activities, and most of the Burmese people were still helping the Japanese army at this time... So the 3,000 Chindith troops entered the enemy's back and finally died and injured under the Japanese encirclement and suppression of the Japanese army, and fled to China and India.

But this unit has a very important strategic significance... The British army was afraid of being beaten by the Japanese army in the first Myanmar campaign, so they once thought that the British army was not suitable to fight against the Japanese army in the jungle, that is, the British army could not defeat the Japanese army in the jungle. Even the Indian side was still considering: Is the era of British rule over India going to pass? Should India consider accepting or cooperating with the Japanese army to repel the British army?

However, the Chindith troops broke the myth of the undefeated Japanese army... A unit of more than 3,000 people penetrated deep into the enemy's back for more than a month, and was surrounded by tens of thousands of Japanese troops. In the end, more than 2,000 people survived. This proves that the British and Japanese troops have the power to fight in the jungle, but they did not use tactics before.

If Lingbang's intelligence comes from Chindit's troops, it is indeed credible.

After thinking about it, Zhang Chi said: "No matter what, I hope the division headquarters can treat this issue carefully. If the Japanese reconnaissance team we annihilated had a squadron, then the Japanese army in Lingbang area is likely to have more than one brigade!"

"Yeah!" Pi Te nodded and said, "I will convey this issue to the division headquarters and ask the division headquarters to verify this information!"

Pete did this later, but this suggestion was not taken seriously by the division headquarters. Chief Instructor Hill, who had actual command of the battle, insisted that the Japanese army located in Lingbang had only one brigade, so there was no need to send reinforcements to Lingbang. Even when the New Regiment was besieged by the Japanese army, it also held this view, which put the New Regiment in danger.

Of course, this is all a story.

Just then, gunfire suddenly came from outside the cave. Before Zhang Chi had enough time to get out of the cave, a violent bombing came from outside...

It was the devil who detonated the explosives buried in front of the position. The devil had no time to ask Zhang Chi for advice, and it was conceivable how urgent the situation was.

As Zhang Chi expected, the Japanese Naga contingent used the darkness and the sound of rain to launch a night attack on the Chinese army's defense line.

However, there was one thing that Zhang Chi did not expect. Before launching a night attack, the Japanese army sent several troops to try to sneak into the Chinese army... This is a common tactic used by the Japanese army, and Chinese officers and soldiers called it "infiltration war."

Many troops suffered from this kind of infiltration war in the first Battle of Myanmar. Before the attack, the Japanese army would always let the Chinese-speaking Japanese army disguise as Chinese soldiers or the people infiltrate the defense line of the Chinese army, and then when the main Japanese army launched an attack, these Japanese army that were infiltrated into the Chinese army attacked at the same time... At this time, the Chinese army was in trouble. The attack of the main Japanese army was on the front, and there were "Chinese soldiers" behind them shooting black guns. What's more serious is that the Chinese army was not sure whether their comrades around were really "Chinese soldiers". They had to beware of their comrades beside them suddenly for themselves, so the defense line soon collapsed under the attack of the Japanese army.

At this time, the Japanese Naga Task Force adopted this infiltration tactic, and the Naga Task Force also did its intelligence work well: they knew that the Chinese army in front of them had British military uniforms and British helmets, so they also put on the same military uniform. The rifle was still made of 38 large covers... The American M1 rifle appeared on the battlefield in Myanmar for the first time, and they were not easy to get it.

Then three such teams rushed to Heights 145, Heights 217 and Lingbang respectively.

The Japanese army even found out the number of the Chinese army, so they came up and shouted to the direction of the defense line: "Brothers of the First Company, we are from the Third Company. The battalion headquarters sent us to send important information to the First Company Commander!"

Hearing that his accent was definitely not Japanese, and his number was correct, the devil had no doubts about it and was about to let them come up.

But Xiao Niu found something was wrong. So he reminded him next to him: "Deputy Company Commander, why haven't they gaited their legs?"

Chinese soldiers have the habit of gaunting leggings, so although they are wearing British military uniforms, they still retain Chinese leggings... In fact, there are military leggings in British military uniforms, but the narrow and small leggings that tie the legs around them together are really not in line with the habits of soldiers. So the soldiers spontaneously add Chinese leggings.

This is actually not a habit problem, just like the old squad leader said... Although the leggings are just a cloth belt, they can be very effective on the battlefield. If the bandage is not enough, pulling off the leggings is a life-saving thing.

Chinese soldiers suffered heavy casualties on the battlefield, and they often had to rely on self-rescue after being injured. In addition, it is common for insufficient bandages, so they feel panicked if they don’t beat the leg gaiters.

This made the New First Division have a strange outfit... wearing British uniforms but wearing Chinese leggings.

The Japanese Naga contingent did this intelligence work very carefully, but he never expected that the Chinese army would have this move. So the "infiltration troops" they sent were all on the feet of the British army's military gaiters.

If it is just one or two, it is not uncommon, but the twenty or so soldiers are all British military leggings, that would be unreasonable.

So the devil cursed: "You Japanese devil, his grandma, want to lie to your grandpa!"

As he said "bang bang", he shot the soldiers twice... In fact, the devil was just trying those people. These two shots were intentionally shot on their heads, after all, he was not sure.
