The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and when it was dark, there was even lightning and thunder, and it started to pour out.

This is good news but bad news for the Chinese soldiers stationed on the high ground.

The good news is that such a rainy night will cause great trouble to the Japanese army's attack, such as slippery roads, poor communication, inconvenient command, etc.

But the heavy rain also caused great trouble to Chinese soldiers. Water accumulation in trenches, landslides, etc. are all trivial matters. Most of the soldiers of the New Regiment are from engineering regiments and have a good set of fortifications. Therefore, drainage ditches and sandbags were dug early in the morning. Once there are landslides, they will be filled with sandbags immediately.

The bigger problem is... the "sloating" sound of rain will cover up the movement around the position, especially the silence of thunder, which makes it impossible to tell whether it is thunder or the explosion of mines around it even if there are mines trampled around.

So Zhang Chi knew what the Japanese army was waiting for, and they were waiting for such a rainy night... It was obvious that this would greatly weaken the Chinese army's firepower, but could easily make the Japanese army approach the Chinese soldiers' defense line to give full play to their advantages in hand-to-hand combat.

The more Zhang Chi thought about it, the more he felt worried, so he asked the devil to arrange another circle of explosives in front of the defense line, and it was an explosive that was detonated instantly with the electric switch.

The soldiers were also nervous, and they all waited in the trenches with rifles and dared not relax. But they waited left and right but never saw the Japanese army coming up.

In the cave in the company, Zhang Chi pulled out a compressed biscuit and tore it open the packaging bag. While placing it in her mouth and chewing it, she looked at the map on the desktop in the dim light of the flashlight.

The maps made by the Americans are much more refined than those used by the Expeditionary Force before.

The map used by the Expeditionary Force was a flat map. Not to mention it in detail, there were mistakes everywhere. If you use such a map, you have to make a question mark first... What if you get to the bridge or highland marked on the map, but the bridge or highland does not exist?!

But Americans have no such concern at all. Each key point in the high ground is marked with no difference. If necessary, you can even adjust the aerial photos of the relevant key points.

For example, now, Zhang Chi can almost say that he can see the terrain of various areas of Lingbang without leaving home.

"Peter!" Zhang Chi shouted at Pit not far away.

Pete, who was dealing with canned beef, turned his head, then wiped his mouth and walked over with some reluctance.

"What's the matter? Captain?" Peter asked in a dissatisfied tone: "Are you going to give me an order?"

Zhang Chi looked up at Pitt and said, "This is not a mess. Pitt. If you always hold this attitude, then it is very likely that we can't go back alive!"

"Oh, is that?" Pete replied: "I thought this should be said by me, if you don't obey my orders..."

"What will happen?" Zhang Chi interrupted Pete's words: "You should recall. If you obey your orders, what will happen to us now?"

Pete couldn't help but be stunned. Although he was not convinced, he knew very well that his judgment of the situation on the battlefield was wrong again and again.

"Maybe we can reach an agreement!" Zhang Chi said: "You obey my command and cooperate with my actions! In exchange... if you win a battle, you can say that it is your credit, and if you lose a battle, you can say that I fail to command. I will also cooperate with your statement. What do you think is this suggestion?"

Pete could hardly believe his ears. There was no such cheap thing in the world. He had to do nothing but gained credit without taking responsibility for defeating the war.

"What you... are saying true?" Peter asked skeptical.

"Of course it's true!" Zhang Chi replied.

"But...what can you get?"

"What I can get is to live!" Zhang Chi replied seriously: "We Chinese have a simple idea, defeat the Japanese and let ourselves live. Is there any problem?"

"No, no..." Pete replied: "Of course there is no problem, then..."

After pausing, Pete reached out and said, "One word is certain!"

"One word is certain!"

So sometimes people also talk about interests, and the relationship will soon be different after having common interests.

But what Pete didn't know was that Zhang Chi's suggestion seemed to give Pit a huge benefit on the surface, but in fact it was digging a hole to make Pitt jump in... The contradiction between the Chinese army and the American instructors always exists, and the conflict will intensify as the battle becomes more and more intense.

When facing this contradiction, it is not just Stilwell and the American instructors who have a headache. Chinese officers are also having a headache... Do you drive the American instructors away? Not to mention that you don't have this power, even if you really have this power to kick the American instructors out of the army, it almost means that the army will lose powerful American aid. If you don't drive it away, these American instructors who know nothing about jungle warfare and Japanese tactics will point fingers and make random commands.

So it won't take long to think about the combat effectiveness of the troops and the lives of the soldiers, Zhang Chi's pattern will soon spread in the troops.

For Chinese officers, this means that they can have strong US aid as a backing and can also let go of their hands and feet to fight. American instructors can easily get military achievements and promotion without doing anything.

So this is how everyone needs to be peaceful.

However, this peace of mind is only superficial. The essence of this practice is to further break away from the command and control of the Chinese army. It is even despised by Chinese officers and soldiers... What is the difference between the American instructors' openly stealing credit like this than some scum officers in the national army?

Of course, Zhang Chi would not tell Peter these ideas. What Zhang Chi most likes is that the conflict between the Chinese military and the American instructors is getting deeper and deeper.

"This is the situation!" Zhang Chi took out three copies of the aerial photos taken by the US reconnaissance plane and said, "Look at these photos. These are the Japanese artillery units taken near Lingbang... These should be three different artillery units!"

"Yeah!" Peter looked at the photo, and then asked after a moment of silence, "But, is there any problem with this?"
