Leaving the road and walking on a crooked field road with the troops, Zhang Chi soon regretted it.
In fact, Zhang Chi regretted it when he just said the word "can" in front of the demon...... Why do you want to hold on? Does it make sense? Can face be more important than one's own life?! Even if it's a shame, it's a person who is lost in this time and space!
But now it was too late to say anything, and the situation forced Zhang Chi to stubbornly lead a dozen brothers from Class 7 to cautiously approach the village along the path.
Zhang Chi could only hope that the Japanese army did not leave troops to guard the gasoline hidden in the village.
In some ways, Zhang Chi knew that even if the Japanese army had left troops to guard it, there would not be many people left...... It's easy to understand that the village is full of crumbling thatched huts, with more than two dozen houses and a dozen families, and the ground is low. Defending in such a position is to solve the problem of fighting with a few shells and a rain of bullets, and it is a pure waste of troops to leave too many people behind.
It was precisely because of this judgment that the Adversary dared to search this small village with a platoon of troops.
But here's the problem: as long as there are one or two Japanese soldiers, as long as one gun is aimed at oneself or a grenade is thrown nearby...... It's very likely that this little life of oneself will be over.
However, the further they went, the easier it became, because at this time they had already walked into the narrow area at the entrance of the village, and if Little Japan had been deployed in the village, they would not have let them go through this dangerous place so easily.
Perhaps sensing the movement, several wild dogs in the village barked, which made Zhang Chi secretly relieved, because if there was a little Japanese ambush in the village, it should be the Japanese army who woke up these wild dogs.
At this time, there was a "squeak" sound next to him, and an old Burmese man with a child carrying a lamp opened the door, and was stunned when he saw a bunch of soldiers pointing guns at the door.
Seeing that it was the Burmese people, the soldiers couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and lowered their guns one after another.
Xiao Zhejiang stepped forward and lowered his voice to comfort the old man: "Fellow, don't be afraid, we are Chinese, come to help you fight the Japanese!" ”
"You ...... Chinese?! The old man replied in a jerky Chinese muna.
Myanmar is mostly Chinese, and business with China is very close, especially at this time, China's only channel with the outside world has to pass through Myanmar, so it is not surprising that ordinary Burmese people can speak a few words of Chinese.
"Yes! Chinese! Xiao Zhejiang was afraid that the old man would not be able to see it, so he straightened his military hat, and then asked: "Fellow, are there any Japanese in the village?" ”
"Japanese?" The old man thought for a while, as if he understood what Xiao Zhejiang meant, and then shook his head.
The soldiers couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they heard this, especially Zhang Chi, who had escaped the secret path.
Zhang Chi just wanted to step forward and ask in Burmese for details, such as whether he saw the car passing by or where it was hiding, but he was shocked to hear the old man shouting at the child in Burmese: "Quick, inform Maung Aung Kyi that the Chinese are coming, let them lay an ambush next to the grain drying field, and I will lead them over!" ”
Then the old man explained to Xiao Zhejiang with an unchanged face: "I, call someone...... Receive you! ”
Where would Xiao Zhejiang and the others know the reason for this, and still believe it, there is no need to be polite.
Zhang Chi's face couldn't help but change, and he quickly understood that these Burmese people were very likely to be the "Burmese Independence Volunteers" who colluded with the Japanese, and even the car full of gasoline was very likely to be in their hands...... This is probably also the reason why there are no Japanese in the village.
It's just these Burmese independence volunteers...... Because they were guerrillas and had no combat experience, or they did not expect that the Chinese would come to the door at such a time when they were inseparable from the Japanese, they were not alert at all.
When the child answered "yes" and was about to run away, Zhang Chi no longer hesitated, grabbed the child without thinking and turned back and ordered: "Catch them, they are enemies!" ”
The soldiers couldn't help but be stunned for a while, and when the soldiers were stunned, the old man took out an English revolver and pointed it at Zhang Chi as if by magic......
Zhang Chi realized that he had made a mistake, he shouldn't just care about intercepting the child and ignoring the old man, or he shouldn't think that the other party was an old man and thought he was harmless.
But now it seems that everything is already too late.
"Bang!" The gun went off, but Zhang Chi didn't feel pain.
When I opened my eyes, I saw a person in front of me, standing motionless with his chest clutched, and it took a long time to fall to the ground with a "thud...... It was Lao Ha, who used his body to block the bullet for Zhang Chi at the last moment.
Gunshots soon rang out......
The reason why the old man in Myanmar chose to shoot desperately at this time actually has two meanings:
First, he saw that Zhang Chi was the head of this group of people, as the so-called "capture the thief and capture the king first", so that this group of Chinese could fall into chaos because of the loss of command.
Another intention was to use gunfire to warn his accomplices.
This trick was indeed very useful, not long after Xiao Zhejiang knocked the old man to the ground with the butt of a gun, a gunshot suddenly sounded in the darkness, and then the bullets rained down on the position where everyone was standing.
Without thinking, Xiao Zhejiang and the others looked for cover nearby and raised their guns to shoot back, and the village, which was unusually quiet just now, immediately fell into chaos as if it had exploded.
But Zhang Chi couldn't see this, and he didn't know that he was afraid, he rushed forward in a few steps to turn over Lao Ha, and hurriedly covered the wound on Lao Ha's chest. But it didn't help, Lao Ha was so painful that his whole face was deformed, and his hands grabbed Zhang Chi tightly as if he wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, he didn't say words and spurted out mouthfuls of blood, and Zhang Chi could even hear the "cooing" sound in his throat.
At this time, Zhang Chi suddenly remembered that there was a first-aid kit on his waist, and immediately opened it and took out the bandage. However, before Zhang Chi could be bandaged, Lao Ha's feet twitched, and the rhythm became slower and slower, and he became more and more weak...... Then the hand that was holding Zhang Chi gradually loosened, and finally his head was crooked and he completely lost his life.
Zhang Chi wanted to cry but couldn't, he didn't know what to say, he didn't know what to do, he couldn't imagine how a person, a person who was still alive just now, could become a corpse in the blink of an eye. He couldn't figure out how the old Burmese man could do it...... They obviously don't know this old Burmese man, and they have no ill will towards him, why would he do this?!
Why?!
There is no answer to this question, and if there is one answer, it is that Zhang Chi, who lives in an era of peace, has not yet adapted to this world of blood and fire.
