Chapter 25 Fields

A book group has just been built, group number: 526158714. Brothers are welcome to join in the exchange.

**********

The gunshots became increasingly dense, and the explosions also tightened.

These explosions were not just the result of the seven Sherman tanks fired in the hands of the soldiers... In fact, because the soldiers were not familiar with the operation of American tanks, and it was still in the dark, the soldiers could only fire the cannon based on their feelings. The shells soon even the gunners themselves did not know where they shot the shells, and they only knew to shoot the shells one after another. Although some of these shells also hit the Japanese army with "blind cats hit dead mice", the damage they caused to the Japanese army was still limited.

What really caused heavy casualties to the Japanese army was the cars full of supplies.

After two cars with gasoline and ammunition were hit and exploded, a raging fire soon ignited around the convoy. These fires could be said to have helped the soldiers of the Expeditionary Force.

First of all, the fire illuminated the Japanese army and made them target... This advantage on the battlefield is quite obvious, especially in the darkness, because the fire illuminated the Japanese army while also making the Japanese army darker around it.

If this phenomenon is explained by science, it is the dark adaptation of the human eye to light.

Simply put, when entering the darkness from a bright environment, you can’t see anything at first. You have to adapt to it for a while before you can gradually see things in the darkness clearly.

However, the fire kept the Japanese army in a bright environment, making it unable to adapt to the darkness slightly further, so they could not figure out where the bullets and shells were fired, and they could only fire guns into the darkness like headless flies.

On the contrary, the Expeditionary Force hid in the dark and could see clearly the Japanese army a hundred meters away. So the machine gun bullets poured out toward the Japanese army like beans, making only scream in pain.

Secondly, more importantly, these fires quickly spread around with the explosion's shock waves, and were surrounded by woods and jungles baked by several months of scorching sun during the dry season, as well as cars also filled with ammunition and gasoline, so almost no warriors needed to fight. The series of explosions were loudly followed by very lively.

Of course, the Expeditionary Army soldiers were not idle either. For their own lives, they also worked hard to use tank guns and machine guns to fuel these fires and serial explosions.

However, the Japanese army was worthy of being a well-trained army. They quickly determined their targets after a chaotic situation and organized several small teams to attack the village.

This made Zhang Chi a little nervous because he found that the Japanese troops had very professional fighting styles... On the front, a small team of Japanese soldiers were used to attract the firepower of Zhang Chi and others, and on the side, a small team was sent to surround him.

The team of Japanese soldiers on the front were fine. They could not escape the eyes of Zhang Chi and others under the flames. A few machine guns shot them into the ground and could not move. Then they could defeat them with tank guns for a while.

The Japanese army surrounded from the flanks were in trouble because they had disappeared into the darkness and were likely to suddenly be in front of them from one direction or somewhere and throw grenades or explosives.

As a half-military military fan, Zhang Chi knew that although this Sherman tank can be said to be a tank with excellent performance and simple control, its biggest disadvantage is the use of gasoline engines... Gasoline is a flammable and explosive substance, which makes the Sherman tank easily catch fire or even explode when attacked. Therefore, it is also nicknamed "Ronson" by the US military. (Note: Langson is a lighter, and its advertising slogan is "At one hit, every hit must be played".)

Zhang Chi's mind flashed through the scene of tanks under the warriors being blown into fireballs. Of course, this also included his own tank.

This thought made Zhang Chi's scalp numb. He didn't want to be burned alive, but he knew that he could not leave the tank... At least there was steel to block bullets and shrapnel on the tank. Once he left it, he had to face those with his flesh and blood.

Then Zhang Chi heard some strange noises coming from the darkness on the side and behind.

At first, Zhang Chi didn't understand why the Japanese army made such a low-level mistake. The well-trained Japanese army actually found such a loud noise when they surrounded the enemy?!

The next second, Zhang Chi quickly understood... The Japanese army didn't want to make such a loud noise, but the problem was that there were paddy fields everywhere around the village. These paddy fields had just turned over the ground and poured water. The fields were covered with thick mud. The Japanese stepped on their feet deep and shallow. Every step they took would make a "bajibaji" sound. The sound became louder when there were more people, and even louder to attract Zhang Chi's attention on the battlefield.

So Zhang Chi soon knew the direction of the Japanese army's sneak attack, and immediately retracted his head and shouted to the soldiers in the driver's seat: "Extremely trapped, reverse, let's deal with the Japanese behind!"

The extremely poor student is from Northeast China. He is called the extremely poor student because of his family's difficulties. In fact, he is a single-handed family from a landlord family. It can be said that he was born with a golden key in his hand.

Of course, the landlord in the Northeast...the land was also occupied by the Japanese devils, so this landlord cannot be called a landlord.

It is said that the reason why his father, who was born in a difficult situation, was willing to let him, a single-handed treasure, join the army for several generations, achieve a great ideal... to defeat the Japanese devils and regain their land.

The reason why he, a rich second generation, has the nickname "Extremely Destitute Student" is because he was a college student before joining the army and was always particularly sleepy in class, so he was nicknamed "Extremely Destitute Student", which was later brought to the army.

From this point of view, the educational level of these 200 teachers is still quite high. Not to mention junior high school students, high school students, and even college students are not a small number.

But this is not surprising. As the only mechanized division, many of the soldiers of this mechanized division have the need to operate mechanized equipment, such as driving tanks, armored vehicles, cars, etc. If they do not have poor cultural learning ability, it will definitely affect the training and even combat effectiveness of the troops.

Although the extremely poor student didn't know what was going on outside the tank... it can be said that the inside of the tank was basically isolated from the outside world, and the sound was not clear, and his vision could only be seen through the observation hole. But when he heard Zhang Chi's words, he quickly understood, so he skillfully reversed the tank and turned it beautifully. In just a few seconds, he put the tank in a straight position and drove to the back of the village.

"On the light!" Zhang Chi ordered.
