Chapter 38 Misjudgment

After the 114th Highland was taken down by Zhang Chi, Lieutenant Colonel Poso, who fought with the three companies in the position and had an absolute advantage, felt something was wrong... If this continues, even if the Myanmar Independence Army wins, it will be surrounded by the Chinese army. At that time, the entire army will be wiped out, so he will take the Myanmar soldiers back into the jungle with a shout.

This prevented the two platoons of the third company from being wiped out, but even if they were not wiped out, they would have suffered heavy casualties. In the end, there were only a dozen people in the two platoons, and they were all injured. Even the company commander of the third company and the American instructor died in this battle.

When he heard the news, Peter couldn't help but sweat... If he obeyed Major Walker's order and led the troops up, the American instructor who died under the Burmese sword would not be his friend Mark but himself.

So when Peter was ordered to arrive at the 114th Highway and saw Zhang Chi covered in blood and mud, he sincerely praised: "Hey, man, you are right! Maybe I should thank you!"

Of course, Zhang Chi knew what Pit meant. He nodded and handed a cigarette to Pitt: "Peter, I still said the same thing. I don't respect you and Major Walker. On the contrary, I am grateful to the Americans for their help and training for the Chinese army. But... we just want to live! And I believe that most Chinese officers have the same idea as us!"

"I understand! Brother!" Pete took Yan and patted Zhang Chi's shoulder casually: "I used to think that was just an excuse you made for disobeying orders, but now I understand. The facts are in front of me. If you obey that bastard's orders, we are afraid that we will all be lying in the body bag now!"

"Then...our agreement..."

"Of course!" Pete smiled and said, "Brother, I want to live a few more years. My wife in the United States just gave birth to me a son not long ago!"

"Is that so? Congratulations on being a dad!"

"Thank you!" Pete shook Zhang Chi's hand and sighed: "Do you know what I'm thinking? I'm thinking that I should kick that bastard Walker down and let you command this army!"

Zhang Chi couldn't help but smile. Although he understood that what Pit said was just a joke, it also meant that Pitt at this time agreed with Zhang Chi's command from the bottom of his heart.

This seems a bit abnormal. Two commanders of different nationalities, even Pete, still came to control the Chinese army, but now they agree with Zhang Chi's command.

But this is nothing abnormal. The reason is that the battlefield is a realistic place, and everyone here has to face a very realistic and important issue, that is, how can we win the war while saving our lives... In the face of this issue, all issues such as nationality, politics, tactics, face, etc. seem so insignificant.

Because of the overall victory of the 114th Highlands, Walker forgot what he said before that he wanted to remove the company commander Zhang Chi... Walker is not a fool. If he really wants to withdraw Zhang Chi, his superiors will wonder why the company commander would be withdrawn after such a big victory. Once the investigation is conducted, he will soon understand that it is not Walker's command but Zhang Chi's credit.

However, Walker and the chief instructor Hill who commanded the new first division always believed that there were only a small number of Japanese troops in the Lingbang area, so the next morning the main force of the regiment followed and deployed defenses on the Lingbang front line. The other two new recruits also followed behind and worked as reserve teams while experiencing the real war.

Chief Instructor Hill's idea was: the Japanese army had only a small number of troops in Lingbang, and the New First Regiment was more than enough to defend Lingbang, so he could take advantage of the New First Regiment to fight the Japanese army in a small intensity and transfer the recruits to some unimportant places on the front line to defend, so that they could use actual combat to hone these recruits and let them grow rapidly.

It should be said that Chief Instructor Hill’s idea is correct, but it is a bit wishful thinking.

You should know that the Japanese army also knows its importance in the flat land of Lingbang... The Japanese army also has military knowledge. They know that Lingbang can build small airports, and Lingbang will likely become a base for Chinese troops to counterattack Myanmar. Here, transport planes can be easily airdropped, and fighter jets can even land and refuel in Lingbang and take off to bomb Mandalay.

In this case, how could the Japanese army only deploy a brigade of troops here, and even if they really only deploy a brigade of troops, they would quickly mobilize troops to find a way to seize Lingbang again.

But Chief Instructor Hill had his own statement: "Our first batch only invested one battalion. Although this battalion was very good, it is very likely that the Japanese army was caught off guard and insufficient troops! This also verified that the intelligence of Chintdi's troops was correct. The Japanese army did not have much force in the Lingbang area!"

Chen Shanguo, the commander of the New First Division, also agreed with this opinion. What he thought in his mind was: A Japanese brigade could fight a regiment or even a division of the National Army. Now one battalion has entered Lingbang and has won one after another... He didn't even believe that the Japanese army in Lingbang had a brigade, and once felt that the results of the front line were falsely reported.

In this regard, the command error cannot be blamed for Chief Instructor Hill, because no one dares to believe that the Chinese Expeditionary Force after being equipped with American equipment will have such amazing combat effectiveness, including the Japanese army, which led to misjudgment and losses between China and Japan.

However, after the Japanese Naga contingent was eliminated, the Japanese army attached enough importance to the Chinese army in front of them.

Yuto Inoue was stunned when he heard that the Naga task force was almost wiped out. After a while, he woke up and said, "Hurry, I want to report this situation to the Colonel..."

"yes!"

"No..." After thinking about it, Yuto Inoue stood up and put on his military uniform and said, "I want to report the situation to Your Excellency Colonel in person!"

Yuto Inoue knew that if he only reported this situation in a telegram, he would be very likely to be scolded, just like what he did when he received a telegram from the reconnaissance squadron.

Therefore, he had to go to the collar in person for an interview.

After walking a few steps, he turned around and ordered: "Take Lieutenant Shenxie with you!"

"But..." the subordinate replied in a dilemma: "Shen Xiejun was seriously injured and may not be convenient to move!"

Lieutenant Fukasaki is the only commander who escaped from the 114th Highlands. Yuto Inoue obviously wanted to use him to increase his persuasion.

But Yuto Inoue ignored the deep-leakage injury at all. He only said, "Execute the order!" and stepped out.
