Chapter Forty-Eight: The Kettle (Add More Tickets and Ask for Collection)

To illustrate, this female officer is not the heroine. Maybe it's because the previous books have similar characters, so when a female enemy soldier appears again, everyone feels a sense of déjà vu. But in fact, the setting of this female character was just a foreshadowing for the Burmese Volunteers to see the true colors of the Japanese army and decide to cooperate with the expeditionary force.

Alas, isn't this a premature revelation of the plot......

******

Seeing the direction in which the female officer fled, Zhang Chi couldn't help but secretly praise.

She fled in the direction of Zhang Chi...... ALTHOUGH THIS IS A BIT OF A CATCH-UP TO DIE, BUT THE TRUTH IS NOT TRUE, YOU MUST KNOW THAT THE MOST FEROCIOUS FIREPOWER AT THIS TIME IS A FEW HEAVY MACHINE GUNS ON THE ARMORED VEHICLES ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BRIDGE, THAT THING AMMUNITION CALIBER IS 12.7MM, CAN FIRE 450 TO 550 ROUNDS PER MINUTE. Although the Enfield rifle has a fast rate of fire, it is only a tenth of its speed, not to mention that its bullet power is much greater than that of Enfield. As a result, the Burmese rebels on the road were completely powerless.

Evading the range of machine guns from both ends of the road may be a viable option, but it is not a good option, because there are hundreds of meters of road on both sides of the road that are exposed to machine gun fire, not to mention dozens of rifles...... I'm afraid that they will lie down before they are halfway through.

But there is a place where the machine gun fire is out of reach, that is, the hiding place of Zhang Chi and others.

To be exact, it's not out of reach, it's a rat trap...... Machine gun bullets don't have long eyes, and they don't care if you're friend or foe when they come out of the chamber. Therefore, the old squad leader and others did not dare to shoot the machine gun in the direction of Zhang Chi and the others' hiding place, and even because they were not sure about the specific hiding location of Zhang Chi and the others, they did not dare to hit a slightly higher position.

Apparently, the female officer seized on this and escaped from the machine-gun blockade in the shortest possible time. And Zhang Chi's eyes couldn't even leave the battlefield in front of him at this time, so he could only let the female officer flee into the jungle.

"Bang!" A shot rang out, and a bullet flew out of the loose rifle.

Lying on the ground was a Burmese volunteer with a bag of explosives in his hand, and he had clearly not forgotten the mission of the trip...... Blow up road bridges.

This is also the reason why Zhang Chi did not dare to leave the battlefield, although at this time the Burmese volunteers had collapsed, but he did not dare to guarantee that there would be a fish that slipped through the net and rushed to the highway bridge, after all, the highway bridge is wooden, and it is in disrepair, and it will collapse as long as an explosive bag is detonated on it.

"Bang!" Another gunshot rang out.

Whoever is knocked down can almost be called a child...... This made Zhang Chi feel an indescribable feeling in his heart.

In fact, Zhang Chi hesitated when he pulled the trigger, but he still had to shoot the bullet when he saw the teenage kid holding a cluster grenade and sprinting in the direction of a highway bridge.

"That's just that the Burmese are thinner because of malnutrition!" Zhang Chi could only comfort himself like this, although he clearly saw the child's immature face when he fell to the ground in the sniper scope.

"Bang!" Another bullet flew out of the chamber.

The nominal warrior was clever enough to get up and sprint towards the bridge like the others, but crawled slowly along the gap between the corpses of his comrades...... In such a tense battlefield, who cares about a moving corpse?

He was almost on the verge of success, because he had climbed to a distance of only a dozen meters from the road bridge, and as long as he pulled the explosive bag and threw it at the road bridge, no one could prevent the road bridge from being blown up.

But he ignored the fact that dead bodies bleed, and when he crawled over those dead bodies, his body was already stained with the blood of his comrades, and it was this blood that betrayed him...... There was a long trail of blood on the road, and it was directed at the nominal warrior.

Perhaps, he would have succeeded in a second later, but Zhang Chi still found him, so he became a real corpse.

Finally, the Burmese Volunteers shouted from below: "We surrender, we surrender, don't shoot!" ”

At this time, the road was already full of blood and corpses, and even the Burmese bicycles were torn apart and debris everywhere, and even some of the overturned front wheels were still spinning because they were suspended in the air.

To some extent, Zhang Chi still admires these Burmese, at least they showed courage and spirit in battle, and not like the British.

Perhaps, this is because they have their own fighting beliefs, that is, they want to overthrow the rule of the British and fight for the independence and freedom of their own country.

However, the last thing they should do is to "rush to the doctor" and pin their hopes for independence and freedom on the Japanese.

The situation on the battlefield was quickly brought under control, and the third platoon won almost without casualties...... The word "almost" is used here because one of the fighters was in a position so close to the heavy machine gun that his face was burned by the hot bullets that jumped out of the heavy machine gun.

He is not to blame...... In the past, it can be said that there were very few light machine guns, and heavy machine guns were even rarer, so soldiers often made some low-level mistakes like this when the battle was fierce. Of course, the lack of training of the engineer regiment is also one of the reasons.

After thinking about it, Zhang Chi carried a gun into the jungle behind him.

He guessed that the female officer would bypass her position and return to her original direction, and if she was lucky, she would be able to intercept her halfway as she approached.

Sure enough, when he had only walked for more than ten minutes, he heard the sound of weeds being driven by footsteps from one direction. So Zhang Chi no longer hesitated, and approached the direction from which the voice came.

Later, Zhang Chi learned that it was very dangerous for him to do this, because he had no experience in jungle warfare at this time, and the other party was a Burmese who grew up in this land and this forest.

Of course, Zhang Chi didn't know this at this time.

He hadn't walked for a while before he suddenly lost the sound coming from his target, which made Zhang Chi realize that the female officer had sensed that someone was chasing him.

Zhang Chi didn't understand what exposed his whereabouts at first, you must know that he was already very careful not to step on the branches and not drive the weeds. In the next second, he understood that the culprit was the kettle on his waist...... It was filled as it passed the pool, but it was half-empty because it had been partially drunk on the way, so it made a dull sound as soon as it walked.

Suddenly, Zhang Chi found himself in a disadvantageous situation of "the enemy is bright and I am dark" to "the enemy is dark and I am clear".

At this moment, he almost regretted that he should not have caught up with such a rash person, and regretted that he should not have been so careless and did not notice the sound of the kettle beforehand.

Zhang Chi looked around nervously with his gun, only to feel that all directions were full of crises, and he couldn't tell if the opponent would suddenly jump out from behind a tree or other unexpected place in front of him...... What's even more tragic is that he wanted to ask his comrades for help but didn't dare to scream, because the result of doing so was likely that his comrades had not arrived and his throat had been cut.
