The battle was soon over.

There are only a dozen "Burmese Independence Volunteers" in the village, although they are much better armed than the soldiers of the expeditionary force...... It's ironic that the expeditionary force is a regular army, while the Burmese independence volunteers are guerrillas, but they have a British Enfield rifle that is much better than the expeditionary force, and even a Bren light machine gun.

However, this is also normal, most of the equipment of the Burmese Independent Volunteer Army was provided by the Japanese army, and the Japanese army chased the British army all the way in Burma...... In the process of pursuit, a lot of equipment was naturally captured, such as rifles or something, because the bullet caliber was different, the Japanese army could not use it, so they all lost it to the Burmese Independence Volunteers.

However, the guerrillas are guerrillas after all, and although the rifles in their hands are much better than those of the Hanyang of the Engineer Regiment in terms of range and rate of fire, they do not know how to cooperate with each other, and they do not have much accuracy in shooting, and they are not even clear about machine guns.

Just as Zhang Chi thought, more than a dozen cars loaded with gasoline were hidden in the sugarcane fields behind the village.

Without saying a word, the demon ordered the troops to drive back to the main battlefield in a car, and the whole platoon cheered for this result, but Zhang Chi was not happy at all.

"I mean, what's wrong with you?" The demon who was driving the car asked Zhang Chi, who was sitting in the passenger seat: "You won the battle and found gasoline, didn't you?" We've done a great job, why are we still having that stinky face?! ”

Zhang Chi didn't answer, just looked at his hands, which were still full of Lao Ha's blood.

The demon seemed to understand something, sighed and said, "Look at it, there is such a thing as fighting...... It's always going to die! ”

Zhang Chi smiled bitterly, he also knew that fighting was to kill people, what he didn't understand was ...... Why did Lao Ha save him? That's a life to trade!

Is it because Zhang Chi is the squad leader?

Zhang Chi didn't think so, and facts proved that Zhang Chi, the squad leader, did not play a big role in the battle just now, and the troops were able to fight in an orderly manner without his command, and it could even be said that the soldiers' military quality and combat experience were much stronger than that of him, the squad leader.

Is it because of the friendship between the two?

Of course not, because Lao Ha was just transferred to this class a few days ago.

So why is that?

Zhang Chi was puzzled.

"Why did he save me?" Zhang Chi seemed to be talking to himself, and he seemed to be asking the devil.

"No why!" The Adversary replied, "Because he is your comrade-in-arms!" ”

"Comrade-in-arms?!" Hearing this, Zhang Chi couldn't help but be stunned.

The word was not new to Zhang Chi, but he didn't seem to really understand the meaning of the word until now.

*********

On the other side, Dai Anlan, who watched the sky gradually brighten, couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and his bloodshot eyes were even more worried and disappointed.

It was finally dawning, but the airport still couldn't be taken.

In other words, in this night's battle, the 200th Division not only failed to open the supply line but consumed a lot of ammunition, which will only make the 200th Division's defense in Tonggu worse in the future.

The only option now is to abandon the assault on the airfield, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Master!" Just then, a communications soldier ran in and reported: "The Engineer Corps has once again launched an attack on the airfield!" ”

"What?" Hearing this, Dai Anlan couldn't help but be shocked: "This Wang Ninghang is just nonsense!" Immediately order the engineer regiment to stop the attack and immediately withdraw to Tonggu! ”

"Yes!"

Dai Anlan paced at the table in distraction, and couldn't help but feel an urge to curse...... He knew that Wang Ninghang wanted to make up for his mistakes, and he also knew that he wanted Li Shuzheng to be exempted from military punishment, but he couldn't risk the lives of more than 1,000 people in the engineering regiment! Especially at this time, the main force of the 200th Division was fighting with the 55th Division of the devil in the front, but he was constantly making trouble behind......

No, I have to send someone to escort Wang Ninghang back, otherwise I don't know what else this guy will stab!

"Reporter!" Before Dai Anlan could give an order, he saw the signal soldier running in and reporting: "Engineer regiment...... It looks like you've already made it to the airport! ”

"What?" Dai Anlan thought he had misheard: "What did you say?" ”

"Master!" The signal soldier repeated: "The engineer regiment has entered the airport!" ”

"This ...... How can it be? Dai Anlan still couldn't believe it.

It's no wonder that Dai Anlan doesn't believe it, you must know that the devils at this airport are equal to the strength of the engineer regiment, with the strength of the two, it is not bad if the engineer regiment is not completely wiped out, and it can still enter the airport? !

"Master!" At this time, Staff Officer Liang walked in with a telegram with an excited expression, and said excitedly: "Division, Wang Ninghang is calling, the engineer regiment has successfully broken through the Japanese defense line, and the recovery of the airport is just around the corner!" ”

At this time, Dai Anlan believed that what he heard was true, but he was still confused...... Engineer regiment? Equip the Hanyang-made engineering regiment? Recapture the airfield without the cooperation of artillery and the main forces? How they did it!

The method, of course, is the "fire attack" that Zhang Chi thought of.

Due to the urgency of time and the fact that the sky was about to lighten, the engineer regiment immediately launched an offensive on the airfield without even having time to contact the division headquarters when it got the gasoline...... You must know that this gasoline hidden in the jungle is also very dangerous to the engineer regiment, and if the devil's plane comes up and blows it up first, then the gasoline will not burn the Japanese but burn itself.

The method of attacking is very simple, that is, to move barrels of gasoline to the edge of the jungle at night to prepare, and then give an order, and hundreds of barrels of gasoline will "clatter" along the steep slope towards the devil's defense line, and it will roll faster and faster.

The soldiers of the Engineer Regiment fired their guns right behind, targeting not the devils but the gasoline drums, and occasionally throwing a few burning Molotov cocktails...... Needless to say, what kind of scene it was, the gasoline barrel was pierced by a bullet, and the gasoline seeped everywhere while rolling, and the incendiary bottle ignited the gasoline, and the gasoline barrel exploded as soon as it was ignited, and the fire was scattered again.

So after a while, the defense line of the kung fu devils fell into a sea of fire, and everywhere the devils covered in fire let out screams like killing pigs, running and jumping like headless flies.

At this time, let alone defense, they are lucky to find a place not to be affected.

All the soldiers of the Engineer Regiment had to do was ride the flames...... Although it is possible that these fires will ignite the soldiers themselves, they are nothing compared to defeating the Japanese and retaking the airfield.
