In other words, the Japanese army's defense is like an egg... The outside looks very hard, and if you pierce the egg shell, you will find that it is empty inside.

The Chinese army's interspersed fleet successfully pierced the egg shell. After passing through the defense line of the 18th Division, it was found that the road ahead was unobstructed.

In fact, Zhang Chi and others had already obtained relevant information from the Kindi Troops and the Myanmar Independence Volunteers... There were no Japanese garrisons all the way down the Irrawaddy River. Except for the fact that they might be discovered by a part of the 24th Mixed Brigade of the Jing Japanese Army stationed there when they passed by Ren'anqiang, there were no Japanese troops in other locations. They didn't need to worry until near Dundi Canal. However, the Japanese army stationed there was also a sneak attack from the British rather than a Chinese army.

This is good news for the New First Division, but it is not a good thing to be discovered by the Japanese army stationed in Ren'anqiang, because once they discover the intention of the Chinese army and make timely adjustments, it is not what the Chinese army wants. The Chinese army always hopes that the Japanese army will discover it as late as possible.

In this regard, Stilwell's thought of annihilated the mixed brigade by the way. After all, the mixed brigade is not a regular army, and the number is not large, so it is not difficult to annihilate them.

But Zhang Chi believed that since this mixed brigade would not pose too much threat to the interspersed troops, it would be better to take luck... It would be great if he could not be discovered by him, and it would not be too late to force him to break through after being discovered.

As a result, Zhang Chi was lucky enough to win the bet, and the fleet passed Ren'anqiang without any danger.

In fact, it cannot be said that Zhang Chi won the bet. In fact, several Japanese officers guarding Ren'anqiang had spent money in brothels and found the fleet passing by on the river, but they naturally thought: This should be the fleet of the Imperial Army. If it were the fleet of the enemy, how could it pass without a sound? As for which fleet of the specific unit it was... it was the matter of the superiors. They were happy now and were too lazy to do anything to sweep their own charm.

The alertness of the regular troops and the garrison troops is completely different. The soldiers of the regular troops will at least ask or confirm the situation when they see this situation, while the garrison troops are not concerned about it.

This made the interspers move south without the Japanese army knowing it, and because it was downstream and reached 14 knots per hour (26 kilometers). At this speed, it only took about one day to reach Yangon. When the Japanese 56th Division interspersed into Lashio, it took nearly a month... And this month's interspersed was called "fast". Comparison at this speed. If the Chinese army could interspersed into Yangon in one day, it could be described as "fast".

The Japanese army has not been able to discover that the Chinese army's interspersed fleet is actually not a strange thing. On the one hand, it is because of the darkness, and on the other hand, there are mountains and steep leaders everywhere in Myanmar. The two sides of the Irrawaddy River pass through are also densely covered with jungles. There are rarely any direct passing through the Japanese military base like passing Ren'anqiang. In addition, the Japanese air force and attention are all directed towards Mandalay and Impal, so no one noticed a fleet on the Irrawaddy River.

However, the Chinese expeditionary forces on the ship were not comfortable at this time.

The reason is that a considerable part of the Chinese army is landslides, and some people have never even boarded a boat... So after a few hours, especially when you have to sleep on the shaking boat, all kinds of seasickness reactions come.

Even Zhang Chi's troops were not spared. They were spitting everywhere in front of him and behind him. The cabin was soon filled with an unpleasant sour smell and beef smell (the Expeditionary Force often ate canned beef during the battle).

"Battery Commander!" The fellow villager asked Zhang Chi with a pale face while holding a washbasin: "When will this...be there?"

"Yes, battalion commander!" Xiao Zhejiang also answered with a bitter face: "Can't we go to the shore for a walk? Even if we fight a war with the Japanese, it's good to have a good time!"

Zhang Chi couldn't help but smile bitterly. He didn't think that the soldiers would be seasick... and the soldiers under him were also interesting. The Japanese guns and cannons could not knock them down, and they were unable to become humans after only staying on the ship for a few hours.

If I had known it would have asked Stilwell to prepare some seasickness medicine. If this affected the combat effectiveness, it would be useless even if it successfully penetrated into Yangon.

"You all listen to me!" After thinking about it, Zhang Chi picked up a large bag of dry food around him and threw it into the middle, saying, "From now on, you have to eat a box of canned food once, until you don't vomit!"

When the soldiers heard this, they were all stunned. The soldiers vomited because of stomach nausea. How could they eat?!

But looking at Zhang Chi's vicious eyes, they knew that the battalion commander was not a joke. So they could only respond one after another to "yes".

On the one hand, Zhang Chi wanted to force them to adapt as soon as possible, and on the other hand, he wanted them to maintain their physical strength so that they would not find that they were hungry because of seasickness and could not eat.

But this made the soldiers suffer. Under this command, they had to endure and not vomit. Once they vomited out, they had to swell up the stomach and eat the food. Some of them had not eaten a few bites before they could spit out all of them... This uncontrollable feeling was to some extent that it completely defeated these brave warriors.

This situation was alleviated after dawn.

This is because the soldiers will be better after dawn, unlike in the darkness where nothing can be seen and swaying in the cabin.

On the other hand, it means that it is more likely to be discovered by the Japanese army or even fight. Under this kind of battle and the threat of life, the reaction of seasickness will naturally become smaller.

Sure enough, a few hours later, a Japanese reconnaissance plane with a red plaster flag flew over the fleet and circled around the fleet... It should be that the Japanese army on the shore discovered the fleet and reported it upwards. Then the Japanese army sent a reconnaissance plane to try to figure out the nature of the fleet.

"What should I do?" Wang Mazi asked Chen Shanguo, the commander of the New First Division, on the walkie-talkie.

Chen Shanguo knew that he could not hide it anymore. After all, these were hundreds of large and small ships. The Japanese reconnaissance planes would soon find something wrong, so he made a quick decision and ordered: "Catch it down!"

The gunshots quickly rang out, and the light and heavy machine guns on the fleet almost fired together, and there were even several anti-aircraft guns among them roared, so they shot the enemy plane that was reconnaissance at a low altitude so that they fell to the other side of the mountain with black smoke.
