ps: Happy Lantern Festival, brothers!

As soon as he saw the new ball of defense Zhang Chi couldn't help but frown.

The second camp is seven miles away from the first camp, and even ten miles away from the third camp. There is either a jungle or a deep trenches and dangerous ravines between camps.

After thinking about it, Zhang Chi knew that this was a mistake made by the American instructors. They used the arrangement of the American mechanized troops here. The two battalions were seven miles apart, and ten miles apart were nothing. The car arrived in a few minutes. If an enemy rushed into the gap between the two battalions... it would be a burst of shells that would surround them.

But the problem is that the terrain of the combat is now mountainous jungle, and cars cannot run in most places. If the two battalions are seven miles apart, there will be problems, which will easily be divided and surrounded by the Japanese army and fall into the dilemma of fighting each other.

;"Peter!" Zhang Chi cried out at the wound that was bandaging the wound on his arm that was being cut by a branch... The American's life is precious, and if the Chinese soldiers were not careful, that little injury would not be taken seriously.

"yes!" Peter walked up to respond while tied the bandage.

"Have you noticed the defense gap in these positions?" Zhang Chi pointed to the battalion and said, "If the Japanese army penetrated into our defense from these parts, it would cause us a lot of trouble!"

Pete looked at it for a while and nodded and said, "What you said makes sense. This is Wild Man Mountain. Except for the flat ground near Lingbang, there are jungles everywhere. It is difficult for camps to reinforce each other! I have to report this situation to Major Hill..."

As he said that, Peter turned around and walked towards the Walkie-talkie.

Pete came back soon.

"Zhang!" he said: "They think the enemy will not have too many troops to intersperse. If only a small amount of troops are insignificant, our firepower can defeat them. Moreover, these vacant places are not defenseless, but there is a place for the new recruits to adapt to the battlefield!"

"Oh!" Zhang Chi understood after hearing this.

But Zhang Chi still thought that such an arrangement was inappropriate, but at the same time he knew that he was powerless to do anything about it.

What Zhang Chi can do is to ask the soldiers to step up the construction of fortifications and connect several highlands with transportation to enhance the connection between the various highlands.

In the rear of Lingbang, the Americans even had excavators, bulldozers and other facilities that had been transferred to begin to renovate them in full swing.

In the evening, Zhang Chi felt more and more that his judgment was correct.

Because at this time a hot air balloon rose in the direction of the Japanese army... This thing is called a reconnaissance balloon, as the name suggests, it is used for reconnaissance. Several artillery observers are on the top, equipped with cannons, walkie-talkies, etc., and can guide the artillery at high places and for a long time.

The reason why the Japanese army chose to raise hot balloons in the evening was to hope to observe the positions of the Chinese army condescendingly before it became dark. At the same time, it was difficult for US aircraft to shoot it down... When the US fighter planes were ready, I was afraid that it would be dark.

It is obvious that the Japanese army raised the hot air balloon to prepare for attacking Lingbang, and it is conceivable that this will be a fierce attack.

Under Zhang Chi's warning, Pete once again reported the situation to his superiors. But the reply he received was: "Don't worry, this shows that our Air Force performed very well. The Japanese planes were all exhausted. Now they can only use hot air balloons for reconnaissance missions!"

Zhang Chi couldn't help laughing and crying when he heard this.

Although the hot air balloon is a little behind, it sometimes has considerable advantages over fighter jets. For example, it can stay in the air for a long time to be a great artillery observation station, and it is very safe without fuel. These are things that fighter jets cannot do.

Then the Americans soon paid the price for underestimating the enemy.

As soon as the sky was getting dark, a whistling sound of shells came from the sky. The pieces of shells hit Lingbang and the various facilities inside, such as excavators and bulldozers, were blown upside down. What was even worse was the labor force collected from India and Myanmar to do hard work. They had no basic knowledge of avoiding shells, and they did not expect that the Japanese artillery fire would target them, so a round of artillery fire caused them to be seriously injured.

Zhang Chi knew why the Japanese artillery targeted Lingbang... This was because the Japanese army did not want the Chinese army to build a supply base in Lingbang. On the other hand, it was because the infiltration war the night before made them know that the Chinese army had a battalion-level command center located here.

Fortunately, Walker's battalion command has been transferred, not because Walker is worried about danger. In fact, he still feels that there are not many Japanese troops in the Lingbang area, and even if there are some scattered soldiers and scattered soldiers who are not worth worrying about.

The reason why Walker's command was transferred was simply because all the broken houses in Lingbang had to be pushed out and built with stronger buildings.

Later, when Walker recalled this battle, he kept sighing: "It should be said that I picked up my life. I am so lucky!"

Then there was a sound of gunfire and howling from the Japanese army, and the mountains were everywhere, just as the Japanese army had surrounded Lingbang and launched a charge.

When Zhang Chi saw this situation, he felt something was wrong. If the Japanese army wanted to attack, he had to blow up the front line positions as firepower cover. Moreover, the Japanese army would rather fight hand-to-hand combat, so there was no reason for them to shoot and yell like they were now afraid that the Chinese soldiers would not know their existence.

So, it's very likely that's not really an offense, they're just bluffing.

What is the purpose of the Japanese army's bluffing?

Zhang Chi soon thought... The purpose of the Japanese army was the artillery of the New First Division.

Zhang Chi was just about to ask Pete to report this situation upwards, but it was too late because there were already rows of shells hitting the Japanese army with howling sounds.

This is exactly what the Japanese army wanted. Because they had an excellent artillery observation station in the air...hot air balloons. The fire at the muzzle when the artillery fired was very obvious in the dark night, so the Japanese army on the hot air balloons would soon report the location of the New First Army artillery positions to the Japanese artillery units and guide artillery fire to bomb these artillery positions.

Sure enough, within a few minutes, the whistling of artillery shells sounded again in the darkness, but this time the shells were from the Japanese army. Then Zhang Chi saw the flames and explosions behind the position... Needless to think about it, it must be the artillery position of the New First Division.
