Chapter 17 The Iron Bridge of Tile Steps

The battle continued, bullets still flying and artillery roaring.

Zhang Chi hoped that the battle to retake the airport would end the war, but the reality was that this was just the beginning...... As a modern person, Zhang Chi knew that the war would last for several months, and finally ended with the defeat of the Chinese ** team and the retreat of the Savage Mountain, the retreat of the British ** team to India, and the full occupation of Burma by the Japanese army.

And the Battle of Tonggu was just the beginning.

Of course, now that Zhang Chi has appeared, no one knows what the final outcome of this battle will be, just as the Kayungoka airfield should have fallen into the hands of the Japanese, and the supply of the 200th Division should have been cut off.

"Brethren!" After the battle, the adversary gathered the surviving soldiers of the company together in the jungle and said: "Our regiment fought very well in this battle, not only recaptured the airport but also eliminated a wing of devils...... We succeeded in snatching gasoline from the Japanese, which created conditions for the victory of our regiment, and Shangfeng decided to record the collective second-class merit for the first company! ”

The soldiers shouted loudly, but they didn't dare to applaud too loudly, because the devil's plane was whistling overhead, and too much movement might attract bombing and strafing from the devil.

"But ......" then the devil changed his words and said, "We have lost many brothers in this battle, why do we fight...... There is nothing that does not sacrifice! ”

The soldiers quickly fell silent, although they were all veterans and had long been accustomed to the wounding or sacrifice of their comrades, but this time the casualties were too great.

"Platoon commander!" At this time, Xiao Zhejiang asked: "How should we deal with it?" ”

These words instantly aroused the nerves of the soldiers, after all, part of the reason why they fought this battle was to save the regimental commander.

The demon nodded and replied: "The regiment commander has been exempted from military justice, but he has been removed from his post and investigated, and now Deputy Regiment Commander Wang is the commander of the First Engineer Regiment." ”

Hearing this, the soldiers couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, although the regiment commander was still inevitably punished, but his life was finally saved.

After a pause, the demon continued: "The company commander is injured and needs to be observed for a few days, the deputy company commander is killed, Chen is not talented, Shangfeng asked me to serve as the deputy company commander and temporarily act as the company commander." This three-row platoon leader...... I think it is the seventh class leader, what do the brothers think? ”

"Me? Platoon leader?! Hearing this, Zhang Chi couldn't help but be stunned.

"Deputy Company Commander!" The hooligan immediately objected: "I don't agree with the seventh squad leader as a platoon leader!" ”

"Why not?" The Adversary asked.

"It's only been more than two months since the seventh squad leader entered the army." The hooligan replied sullenly: "In terms of seniority and military quality, there are many more of our troops who are stronger than the seventh squad leader, so ...... Why should he be a platoon commander? ”

"Why?" The adversary raised his head and said, "He saved the life of our engineer regiment!" If it weren't for the seventh squad leader who came up with the idea of hitting the airport with gasoline, you Wu San might have been lying at the airport under the guns of devils today! ”

As soon as the Adversary said this, no one dared to speak out anymore.

Seeing that no one spoke, the adversary asked again: "Is there any disagreement?" ”

Joke, if there are still different opinions, isn't that just scolding? Even Zhang Chi himself didn't dare to say anything.

It's not that Zhang Chi is not modest, but he knows that the officials in this ** team are not all like those filmed on TV and movies...... With a wave of the pistol, he shouted, "Brothers, you charge, I'll cover!" ”

Especially for a unit like the 200th Division, this is to fight hard with the Japanese devils and even without air support, it can withstand twice the Japanese charge in the front, so if this officer is a little bigger, such as a battalion commander, regiment commander or something, then he can really command in the second line, but if it is a platoon commander or company commander, it is the life of taking the lead in the charge.

Just kidding, take the lead in the charge...... I think I have a long life!

But looking at the devil like that, it is clear that he has to be right, and he has to be appropriate, and he has to be appropriate, and there is no room for bargaining at all, so Zhang Chi also saved this saliva.

"Good!" The Adversary looked around with satisfaction and said, "Since no one has an opinion, then this matter is settled!" Seventh, squad leader...... Your grandma's take this platoon for Lao Tzu! ”

"Yes!" Zhang Chi responded helplessly.

Because the battle had just been fought, the Engineer Corps was given a period of recuperation.

But it's just a few hours of sleep...... This was a bit difficult for Zhang Chi, because there were so many things that happened in the course of the day that were too much for him to accept, plus the sound of gunfire and the whistling of planes everywhere, so that he lay under the tree with the gun in his arms for a long time and could not sleep.

But Zhang Chi knows one thing very well, that is, he must fall asleep, otherwise he may not have enough physical strength and energy to survive in this cruel world.

So he could only force himself to sleep.

In his sleep, Zhang Chi saw his parents who were far away in China and now even in another time and space, and he also saw his girlfriend and his young sister......

"Get it all up!" Before Zhang Chi could react, he was kicked in the ass again.

Zhang Chi rubbed his jerky eyes and saw that the adversary was waking up the warriors sleeping on the ground one by one.

The warriors were exhausted by this time after a night of fighting, but they managed to get up from the ground.

The demon walked up to Zhang Chi, who was still grinding, and said, "Give me a little bit of agility next time, and the platoon commander will have the appearance of a platoon commander!" ”

Zhang Chi couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart, he almost wanted the demon to simply shoot himself, he couldn't stand this crime.

But Zhang Chi didn't dare to say this in the end, because he knew that the devil might really do this, after all, this was the army, and it was still fighting, and it was normal to shoot a few deserted soldiers for the morale of the troops.

"Here's the thing!" The demon summoned Zhang Chi and a few others to the front, pointed to a point on the map and said, "The engineer regiment is assigned to the east of Tonggu to garrison, and the target of your platoon is here, the tile iron bridge." In order to prevent this iron bridge from being used by devils, you should immediately rush to the target position to defend and prepare for blasting! ”

"Isn't this position defended by the British?" The hooligans used to mix on the road, and they had both hands on maps and the like, so at a glance, they could see that the target was beyond the range of the expeditionary force's defense.

"His grandmother's!" The demon scolded angrily: "If you are told to go, you will go, what so much nonsense!" Do more things and talk less, are you clear? ”

"Clear!" Although several people had doubts in their hearts, they still answered in unison.

Zhang Chi faintly felt something, or it could also be said that the history he was familiar with, let him know that although he had recaptured the airport with his own intervention, the Battle of Tonggu was still developing in a direction that was unfavorable to the expeditionary force.
