Thank you for the rewards of Tiangao Yundan, Tie Xiaozhu, Xu Qingfan, and a few classmates who came to drink a cup.

For the five dynasties and ten kingdoms mentioned by Tiangao Yundan, I also put a lot of effort into this book, and I had to give up because the subscription was too low. To be honest, it is difficult to continue to write this book, because the writer also has to live, and the book subscription is only more than 100, according to this calculation, you can only earn a few hundred yuan a month of hard work, plus more than 1,000 yuan for full attendance, you can't support your family, so you have no choice but to give up. I'm sorry!

In addition, I hope that most of you will give a vote to a point to recommend a point to a point subscription, every book of soldiers is very serious to write, very serious ideas, only with the support of your genuine subscription, soldiers in the premise of life security, there is a way to continue, this is a very real problem, because soldiers have not yet reached the state that can live without manuscript fees. Thank you!

Things turned out to be as Zhang Chi expected, when Zhang Chi and the others rushed all the way to the tile iron bridge more than ten miles away, they found that the tile iron bridge was empty, leaving only bandages, canned food, food packaging boxes full of English and other waste, and even a few guns and bullet bags.

"What's going on?" The countryman couldn't help but mutter, "What about the British? ”

"Could it be that the Japanese are calling?" Xiao Zhejiang looked around vigilantly.

Zhang Chi just smiled.

Of course, the Japanese did not hit, otherwise it would have been bullet casings and not bullets left on the ground.

On the other hand, it is impossible not to send troops to garrison such an important place as the bridge, and if it is not possible, it is necessary to send a team of sappers here to prepare for the bombing of the bridge.

So it is clear that this is the British who were stationed at the Watai Bridge who fled.

However, this cannot be said explicitly, because if it is clearly said, it is telling the soldiers that the British have begun to flee, and the next battle is likely to be supported by the 200th division.

At the same time, the soldiers will also think: the British have such advanced equipment and tens of thousands of people, they can all escape, so why can't we escape?!

As a result, the morale of the army soon began to waver, and then the battle could not be fought.

So Zhang Chi can understand what the devil said: "Do more things and talk less!" ”

So Zhang Chi didn't say much, just waved his hand and ordered: "The ninth class will load explosives on the iron bridge and prepare to blow up the bridge, and the other parts will hurry up and build fortifications!" ”

"Yes!" The ninth squad leader answered, and ran to the iron bridge with more than a dozen people with explosives. The rest of the men dug fortifications on the other side of the bridge and formed a circle of fire against the bridge.

But Zhang Chi knew that it didn't work...... This is not to say that he did not believe in the fighting resolve of the engineer regiment, which was demonstrated during the previous assault on the airfield.

The reason is that the gap in reality is obvious: the range of the Hanyang-made in the hands of the fighters is only more than 200 meters, which makes the defense line built by the fighters can only be more than 200 meters away from the bridgehead, otherwise it will be completely inaccurate and unable to block the bridgehead with firepower.

The tile iron bridge is only more than 100 meters, which means that the soldiers are only 400 meters away from the opposite bank...... This is exactly within the range of the devil's 38 big cover.

In other words, if there are really devils coming up, then they don't need to rush across the bridge to hit this end at all, but Zhang Chi and the others at this end can't hit them.

Isn't that like a target, let the devil practice marksmanship?!

What's more, only one platoon was sent to defend the bridge...... Who can a platoon of sappers stop? So Zhang Chi knew very well that the focus of this mission was to blow up the bridge.

As for why you don't blow it up right away...... It should be on the other side of the bridge, and the British army has not withdrawn.

Zhang Chi's idea was quickly verified, because after a while, a large number of British soldiers with cigarettes and guns withdrew, and they looked at Zhang Chi and other Chinese soldiers with strange eyes, and said something in their mouths.

As a college student who graduated from the College of Foreign Chinese, Zhang Chi can certainly understand what they are saying:

"These Chinese are looking for death, right, just such a few people want to defend the Wajie Bridge?"

"Didn't you see they were here to blow up the bridge?"

"The Chinese are going to blow up the bridge!"

Saying that, the group of British soldiers laughed very presumptuously.

“heyman！” Seeing this, Zhang Chi couldn't hold back, he thrust the sapper shovel in his hand into the ground, and shouted at the British soldiers in English: "What are you doing when the Chinese are fighting with the ancients?" Are you attacking in the other direction? Do you want to give you a medal for your bravery?! ”

The group of British soldiers was stunned for a moment, they obviously didn't know that there was an English-speaking ...... in this group of Chinese soldiers who were not amazing-looking In fact, it is precisely because they don't know this that they dare to be so presumptuous, otherwise as a deserter, they would not dare to laugh at those soldiers who stay behind and prepare for battle.

"I'm sorry!" After a long time, one of the Englishmen who passed by said to Zhang Chi with a face full of shame: "I apologize to you for them, you are good!" ”

Then the British, who had passed by the bridge, did not dare to say anything more.

"I said platoon commander!" At this time, several soldiers under Zhang Chi admired it tightly, and Xiao Zhejiang's eyes lit up and looked at Zhang Chi almost looking up: "You are ...... Do you still speak the words of the British? ”

"Hmm!" Zhang Chi nodded and replied, "Before...... I didn't learn much when I was begging for a living with my father in Myanmar! ”

This can also deceive people, because it has been more than 100 years since the British invaded and colonized Burma, and during this period, the British have been practicing colonial education in Myanmar, so it is not unusual to live in Myanmar and learn a few words of English.

"Hey, you!" At this time, a jeep stopped in front of Zhang Chi and others, and a British officer shouted in English: "Who is your commander?" ”

"I am!" Zhang Chi greeted him and replied in English.

"Good!" The Ying ** official glanced at Zhang Chi unexpectedly...... He was worried about how to explain it with gestures, but now it seems that this is completely redundant.

"I'm Second Lieutenant Burke of the 2nd Royal Tank Regiment of the British 7th Armoured Brigade!" The British ** official raised his head and said to Zhang Chi: "I order you not to blow up the bridge before six o'clock in the afternoon." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Chi couldn't help frowning, and secretly said that the Englishman didn't even get out of the jeep when he spoke, and his mouth was full of commands.

You must know that this Brit is just a second lieutenant, and when it comes to military rank, it is the same level as Zhang Chi's platoon commander, and even if the British is a captain, colonel or even general...... A unit that wants to escape, and it's also this British officer, why should he order the ** people?!

"I'm sorry, sir." Zhang Chi said to Second Lieutenant Burke: "We also have orders...... Blow up the bridge before five o'clock! ”

Of course, this "five points" were made up by Zhang Chi in order to embarrass the British.

"You can't do that!" Second Lieutenant Burke was so anxious that he jumped out of the car: "Our armored regiment is still on the other side of the bridge, if the bridge is blown up, those tanks and equipment will not be able to cross!" ”

"Panzer regiment?!" Hearing this, his eyes couldn't help but light up.

Zhang Chi knows from history that the British have a total of more than 200 tanks in Burma, but it is a pity that it is ...... These tanks were largely not put into battle, but were either captured by the Japanese and used by the Japanese in the process of escaping, or blown up by the British themselves. In the end, it is said that only one of them managed to escape back to India.

The reason for this tragic situation is objectively not that the British are incompetent. You must know that the British Seventh Armored Brigade had just defeated the German African Army in North Africa and made miraculous contributions to the victory in the North African battlefield.

Here's the problem...... The British had no determination to fight the Japanese in Burma, and they only thought of withdrawing to India to organize defense, so there was this phenomenon of "defeat like a mountain".

Thinking of this, Zhang Chi couldn't help but make a calculation in his heart: Anyway, these tanks will eventually be blown up or even captured by the Japanese army, so if they can be used by the expeditionary force......
