Then this idea of ​​passive resistance soon spread from the 113th Regiment to other troops.

The 113th Regiment is a Chinese army after all. Each army has some contacts with the soldiers of the 113th Regiment, such as fellow villagers and comrades. Seeing their troops being bullied like this, no Chinese soldier could stand it. Moreover, the American instructors who always treat the Chinese as second-class people in each army have various problems. So the soldiers of other troops were thinking: Today is the 113th Regiment, so it might be their turn tomorrow.

Therefore, although the number of soldiers in the Expeditionary Force was much higher than that of the Japanese army, the battle to attack Bamo was somewhat unable to continue.

Of course, the Japanese army could not fight, and the logistics of the Sino-US coalition forces had already followed. If the Japanese army dared to launch an attack, they would just smash the shells back.

"Zhang..." Peter handed a cigarette to Zhang Chi and said, "What's going on like this, don't you do anything?"

"What can I do?" Zhang Chi asked back.

"For example..." Peter thought for a while and said, "You can give a suggestion to Chinese officers, and I can give a suggestion to American instructors, so that they can cooperate like us... Our cooperation has always been very pleasant, right?"

"This is indeed!" Zhang Chi replied: "But I don't think it will be of any effect!"

"Why?"

"It's like arm wrestling!" Zhang Chi said: "If I beat you, or you beat me, there's no problem. But if the strength of the two sides is not much different, then neither of them will accept each other, so our cooperation is just an exception!"

"Oh!" Pete nodded thoughtfully, then smiled and patted Zhang Chi's shoulder and said, "It's obvious that our cooperation is that you beat me."

This is part of the American character. They are more generous and straightforward. Some words that Chinese people will feel dissatisfied and have no face when they hear them. Americans will often admit them readily.

For Zhang Chi, he actually prefers to see this situation happening. Because he never wants the Chinese army to be under the control of the Americans, especially the Americans who are not well-versed in jungle warfare and Japanese tactics will still command randomly.

This incident caused a headache for Stilwell and Davids, especially Davids, who, even if he had enough excuses, was always commanded by him. In the final analysis, he still turned this originally very beautiful surprise attack into a rubber battle.

"I think we should reflect on something?" Stilwell said: "If this happens, there must be something wrong."

Stilwell was actually quite disappointed with David. He originally wanted to use Galahad troops to ease the conflict between Chinese and American officers, but he did not expect that David and Galahad troops' performance would have a counterproductive effect.

And Stilwell knew very well. David did have improper command in this battle. Although it is hard to prove how many Japanese troops were stationed in Bamo, David used his main force to air defense, and the facts proved that the Japanese did not send a fighter jet in the Bamo direction.

"General!" Davids said with a pale face: "I never think I have made any mistakes in command!"

What David said does not mean from a military theory, but military theory does not mean actual combat... that is, he never understood or pretended not to understand a simple truth. Correct military theory does not mean correctness.

"Well!" Although Stilwell spoke sarcastically, because David was invited by himself, he could not give David too much face. So he thought about it and replied: "I believe you are right, but in order to ease the current situation... I hope you can temporarily hand over the command and rest for a while!"

"General. This..." Davids wanted to say something, but covered his heart and started to sweat coldly, and he couldn't say anything next.

"Hygienist!" Stilwell shouted. He knew that Davide had a heart attack. Davide must have been stimulated because of this incident.

But that's good. Seeing the sanitation officers feeding Davids medicine in a hurry, Stilwell thought... The nature of handing over command due to illness is completely different from actively handing over command. The latter is to surrender to Chinese officers, which is likely to make Chinese officers further disobey the command of American instructors. But if it is the former, it is to tell Chinese officers that they have not shaken the command status of American instructors.

So Stilwell quickly replaced Davids and was directed by Bethno.

But this was actually a helpless choice that Stilwell had in a hurry to replace the person but no one was available.

Betno is a chief of staff. Before serving as the command of this joint Sino-US unit of more than 20,000 people, he had basically no experience in commanding large corps operations. What's worse is that Betno is a typical person who sits in the office and does not go to the front line to conduct on-site inspections and slaps his forehead and comes up with a combat plan.

Of course, because Stilwell had already replaced Davids in accordance with the requirements of the Chinese troops to some extent. The Chinese army was not familiar with the new commander of Betno, so it ended its boycott of the US instructor and returned to the battlefield.

Betno's command of the attack Bamo can be said to be unrealistic, it is the classic American firefly tactic, that is, using cannons to strait and force push in front of the Japanese defense line.

This tactic may be useful in Lingbang, because the Japanese army at that time had no idea that the Chinese army had such powerful firepower with American equipment, but the current Japanese army had already known the Chinese firepower situation after fighting with the Chinese army. They even knew how the Chinese army was trained and what tactics they would use.

The reason why I know this is because the Japanese army once killed an expeditionary platoon leader during the battle. If it were just an ordinary platoon leader, there was nothing strange. There were more platoon-level and above officers who were shot on the battlefield. But the problem is that this platoon leader is a knowledgeable and educated platoon leader, and he also has the habit of writing diaries.

The Japanese army took out a diary from his pocket, which recorded in detail the training and even the level of weapons and equipment the platoon leader received at Sun Brabing.

Therefore, there are many things on the battlefield that are a bit incredible. They seem to be just a trivial diary but are likely to contain many unexpected and very valuable military information.

After obtaining this diary, the Japanese army learned in detail about the tactics and firepower configuration of the Chinese army, so they took various targeted measures when building fortifications.
