With a "whoosh", while Zhang Chi was still pondering, the armored car stopped with a sudden brake.

Just when Zhang Chi was puzzled, he heard the soldiers shouting excitedly: "Water, pond...... There's water! ”

As he spoke, he scrambled to jump out of the car with a water bottle, and Xiao Zhejiang even carried an extra machine gun ammunition box.

Zhang Chi looked up, and sure enough, he saw a small lake 100 meters away on the side of the road.

This part of Myanmar is also strange, there is no place to get water for dozens of miles down the Moltke Highway.

However, this seems to be normal, firstly, Zhang Chi and others are not familiar with the terrain and do not know where there is a water source, and secondly, it is the dry season at this time, and many water sources have dried up.

In addition, the three armored vehicles on which Zhang Chi's platoon was carrying out reconnaissance missions...... After withdrawing to the Moltke Highway, the retreat policy of the 200th Division was to break the road, to put it simply, to draw a dozen platoons from the engineering regiment, take the platoon as a unit to take armored vehicles in front of the front, and constantly rotate, when they saw a bridge or a road in a dangerous area, they would stop a platoon to install explosives, and as soon as the main force passed, they would immediately carry out blasting.

This had the advantage of not only ensuring the safe retreat of the main forces, but also slowing down the march of the Japanese 56th Division, which was chasing behind, so that they could not catch up with the 200th Division.

At this time, it was the time when Zhang Chi's platoon was at the forefront, and of course they didn't dare to waste time looking for water...... If this is said to be a desertion at best, it is very likely to cause the main force to fall into an ambush by the enemy.

At this time, the sun in Myanmar is hot again, and the pot of water prepared last night has long been bottomed out, and now when they see a pond on the side of the road, where will the soldiers let go.

Of course, Zhang Chi doesn't have to do it himself, you must know that he is now a platoon commander, and he doesn't need to tell his soldiers to fill the kettle and deliver it to him.

At this point, the ** army is still somewhat bureaucratic, and it does not pay attention to the equality of officers and soldiers like the ** army. Of course, at this time, Zhang Chi can be regarded as a beneficiary, so he is also happy to enjoy this privilege silently without speaking.

However, when Zhang Chi glanced at the pond, he immediately felt that something was wrong: why was some of the soil by the pond new? There should be grass growing somewhere else!

Unless...... The new soil is trying to cover up something, such as bloodstains.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chi's heart couldn't help but be shocked, and when his eyes fell on the jungle three hundred meters away on the opposite side, he immediately shouted at the soldiers: "Get down!" ”

"Bang!" A gunshot rang out, but fortunately, Zhang Chi reminded him in time, and the bullet flew over the heads of the soldiers dangerously.

"There are devils!" Fellow villagers shouted: "Find cover!" ”

It's right to find cover, but Zhang Chi doesn't think it's a devil. Obviously, if it was the Japanese army, he would not be stupid enough to challenge a platoon of Zhang Chi with only one gun, and a platoon equipped with three armored vehicles.

The machine guns on the armored car quickly rang out, only causing the jungle leaves and sawdust to fly, and the jungle was a mess in a short time.

Just when everyone thought that the goal had been solved, there was an unexpected "bang" gunshot, and the soldier who was still holding a machine gun just now snorted and fell off the car.

"Sniper!" Zhang Chi soon realized this.

It is no wonder that he dared to challenge an entire platoon with the strength of one person, you must know that Zhang Chi's platoon can almost be said to be exposed in the wilderness, and there is a pond tens of meters long and wide in front of it, while the sniper is hiding in the jungle opposite the pond...... This is a typical example of darkness and light, our side is shooting aimlessly, and he is shooting one at a time.

"Stop shooting!" Zhang Chi yelled at the warriors.

It is useless to fight indiscriminately in this situation, it will only give the other side an opportunity to shoot.

Sure enough, when the soldiers hid their guns and did not shoot their guns, the gunfire in the jungle also disappeared.

There was a dead silence all around, except for the machine gunner who had just been knocked out of the car and leaning against the wheels and clutching his arms and snorting.

Is the sniper gone?

Zhang Chi didn't think so, because at this time, the initiative was in his hands, and he blocked Zhang Chi and dozens of soldiers under him with a single gun...... If the soldiers are still on the armored car, it is good to talk, Zhang Chi can use the cover of the armored car to take the soldiers around the pond to find a more favorable direction of attack.

But the problem is that at this time, the fighters, including the driver, left the cover of the armored vehicle in a swarm because they wanted to get water...... It should be said that this was the carelessness of the fighters, and at the same time the negligence of Zhang Chi, who were supposed to maintain the mobility and combat capability of armored vehicles at all times.

But who made them sappers? And this is still the rear, no one expected such a danger.

"Platoon commander! What to do? The fellow villagers shouted at Zhang Chi from behind a stone more than 20 meters away.

It's not a way to go on like this.

Offense?

Of course not. This sniper is very good at choosing the terrain, the pond in front of him blocks the way for Zhang Chi and others to attack, if you attack strongly, you must wait to bypass the pond, which will inevitably be shot by the snipers continuously, even if you bypass it, there is not much left, and the sniper is likely to retreat to another place.

Let the fighters run back?

This option may also work, because as long as you run back to the armored vehicle, you can use the cover of the armored vehicle to quickly evacuate this place of right and wrong and find a better way. But the problem is that the fighters are afraid that a few of them will fall under the guns of the other party in the process of running back......

On the other hand, Zhang Chi suspected that the rifle in the other party's hand was likely to be Enfield like them, and this thing could shoot more than 30 rounds of ammunition in one minute, so Zhang Chi didn't dare to gamble with the lives of so many of his subordinates.

What should I do if I advance or retreat?

Suddenly, a well-known sentence in modern times flashed into Zhang Chi's mind: "The best way to deal with snipers is snipers!" ”

But there are no snipers under Zhang Chi, and not only Zhang Chi's subordinates, but also not in the 200th Division or even the entire ** unit...... Snipers are fed with bullets and equipment, at this time the domestic materials are in short supply, for the lack of funds of the Kuomintang abacus, it is found that training a sniper is more expensive than machine guns, so it is natural not to pay attention to the development of snipers.

But in fact, sometimes on the battlefield, the role of the sniper is not replaced by the machine gunner, for example, now, dozens of people and several machine guns are also pressed to immobility.

No way! Thinking of this, Zhang Chi couldn't help but grit his teeth, he only acted as a sniper once!
