But none of this happened. One person even miraculously marred over more than a hundred people, and finally counted the number of people but did not fall.

When walking by the Japanese army, Zhang Chi could even clearly hear the snoring of the Japanese army on both sides...

This made people feel a little weird: the Japanese were sleeping loudly beside them, and the soldiers were holding submachine guns in their hands, and their fingers were placed on the trigger. With just a light tap, they could take away the lives of these Japanese soldiers, but the soldiers could not do this. They still walked forward step by step with the sound of rain and gunfire.

After they kept walking into Xujia Village, they couldn't believe that things would go so smoothly. The soldiers in Xujia Village were ready to welcome Zhang Chi and others because they had contacted each other before... But they thought Zhang Chi and others had rushed in all the way, but they didn't expect a group of people to come over quietly in the darkness. They thought they were the Japanese who came to attack, and they held up their guns and asked for the secret code to find out that it was reinforcements.

"How did you... come in?" Commander Li was surprised by this: "Is there no Japanese in this direction?"

"There are Japanese!" Zhang Chi replied calmly: "It's just that we didn't let Japanese discover it!"

This sounds simple, but Commander Li didn't come back to his senses for a long time... He couldn't figure out how to prevent the Japanese from finding out. And if a company could get in like this, that means they could get out in the same way without being surrounded here and waiting for reinforcements!

On the other hand, Peter chatted with the American instructor in Xujia Village. When the American instructor knew that they were coming in like this, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Incredible, this is incredible!"

"Tell me about your situation!" Zhang Chi asked Captain Li while walking in.

"The Japanese army besieged us is estimated to have two squadrons!" Corps Li replied as aware: "They are located on the opposite bank of the East River and on both sides of the north and south. The East River is at this time because the river water surges and the water flows rapidly. It is very difficult for the Japanese army to cross the river without the tools to cross the river. There is a 321 high ground in the north to hold the intersection so that the Japanese army cannot move forward. There is a big banyan tree in the south to become our army's natural stronghold, and the west to be an unclimbable cliff, which is one of the reasons why we can defend until now."

After pausing, Captain Li said again: "You are here at the right time. We didn't expect that the battle would be so tense and there would be so many enemies besieging us. So at the beginning, there was no awareness of saving ammunition, and now the ammunition has almost been fired..."

Zhang Chi nodded. He understood what Captain Li meant. It is true that the terrain of Xujia Village is very suitable for defense. But no matter how suitable for defense, it must be equipped with ammunition.

It is precisely because of this that Zhang Chi and others will carry as much ammunition as possible.

After arriving at the air raid shelter as the command center, the first thing Pete did was to turn on the walkie-phone to contact Walker.

"What? You have arrived in Xujia Village? And there are no casualties?!" Pete's report surprised Walker because another reinforcement unit had suffered heavy casualties on the way.

"Yes!" Pete wiped his forehead, which was not known whether it was rain or sweat, and replied, "Major. To be honest, I can't believe this. He (referring to Zhang Chi) is simply a madman, but he did it and we successfully got in!"

"Very good! You guys are waiting for the next instructions!" Walker on the other end of the phone hung up the phone without saying anything.

In fact, Walker felt a little ashamed at this time. He couldn't believe that the Chinese company commander who had been unwilling to obey orders could complete the task so well, and it was beyond imagination.

After thinking about it, Walker hung up the phone to the regiment headquarters, and his responsibilities were dependent on him and he had to report the situation to his superiors.

So the news quickly reached Stilwell's ears, and Stilwell felt unbelievable. There would be a reinforcement army that could pass through the Japanese blockade and even break through the Japanese encirclement and enter the target area without any casualties in the dark... This can be said to be a miracle.

As soon as he inquired about the commander of this army, it turned out to be Zhang Chi, so Stilwell was happy.

"Look!" said Stilwell: "This company commander once served as my translator, and it is obvious that he is more suitable for war!"

Then Stilwell called Xujia Village with a call.

"Good job, Zhang!" Stilwell spoke like a reminiscing with an old friend who had not seen for a long time: "If I knew in advance that you were the commander of reinforcements, then I would not be surprised by this result. If you don't create some miracles, you need to be surprised!"

"Thank you, General!" Zhang Chi replied.

"Stand by!" Stilwell said: "As long as you persist until dawn, we will send air troops to cooperate with you in breaking through. I believe you can do it!"

"Break through?" Zhang Chi was stunned when he heard this.

"Yes!" Stilwell answered, paused and asked again: "Is there any problem?"

"General. I don't think we should break through!" Zhang Chi replied.

"You mean..." Stilwell was a little surprised. After all, Zhang Chi and others had less than two companies of troops, and even with the geographical advantage of Xujia Village, they could not withstand the siege of a large number of Japanese troops.

"I think we should stick to it!" Zhang Chi replied: "Including other directions, it is also!"

"You must know that the Japanese army has two regiments!" Stilwell opposed: "And we only have one division. With such a force comparison... we don't have much chance of winning!"

Zhang Chi knew what Stilwell said. The strength of the two Japanese regiments is similar to that of a Chinese division. It can even be said that the strength of a Chinese division will be more. But generally speaking, the strength of the Japanese and Chinese troops must be 1 to 5 to be considered equal. The number of Chinese troops with poor combat effectiveness will reach 1 to 10.

In this ratio, the strength of the division in front of him is obviously not the opponent of the two Japanese regiments, so giving up Lingbang and withdrawing into the Myitkyina defense line is of course the right choice.

But Zhang Chi insisted: "No. General. I think this is a good opportunity. We should not break through, but stick to it!"

"Tell me what you think!" If it were another Chinese officer, Stilwell, would have stopped listening to him long ago, but he was very patient with the company commander Zhang Chi.

"First of all..." Zhang Chi said while looking at the map: "The distance between the first and third battalions is too far, ten miles long. Moreover, there are small Japanese troops infiltrated in this ten-mile-wide area, which means that the Japanese army has actually tore a hole in our defense line. Once we give up Xujia Village, the Japanese army will penetrate the rear without any scruples along this opening. At that time, we are afraid that many troops will be surrounded by the Japanese army before we have time to withdraw from the Myitkyina defense line!"

"Loss is inevitable!" Stilwell replied: "But in order to preserve the strength of the entire army... I think the retreat is correct. We can formulate a detailed retreat plan to minimize casualties as much as possible!"

Zhang Chi shook her head, thinking that after the failure of the First Myanmar Battle, Stilwell still did not fully understand the speed and energy of the Japanese army's intersecting siege, but Zhang Chi did not engage in too much on this issue, because he believed that the second reason was enough to make Stilwell change his mind.
