"Platoon commander!" Zhang Chi shouted at the devil: "Little devil, this is going to drop ammunition!" ”
The devil's face couldn't help but change after being stunned for a moment, and then he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately shouted to the company commander not far ahead: "Company commander, the little devil wants to drop ammunition!" ”
The company commander's name is Chen Yonggui, a native of Nanjing, Jiangsu, at this time, as soon as he heard the devil's shout, he immediately realized the seriousness of the problem, and immediately shouted loudly: "All of them are there, the fire of the target devil, fire!" ”
Suddenly, there was a chaotic sound of gunfire, and even Zhang Chi took the opportunity to fire a few shots, but he just didn't know where the bullets flew......
If this is placed in other troops, it may be effective to concentrate fire on the devil's fire, after all, it is a company, and the hundreds of rifles plus light and heavy machine guns, the bullets are a piece of "whoosh" in the past, and if a few mortar shells are added, the fire will soon be blown out.
But the problem is that they are an engineer unit, there are no mortars, no heavy machine guns, only three light machine guns, and the range of rifles is only more than 200 meters.
So this is in response to the phrase "thunder is heavy and rain is small", and the guns are fired, but the fire is not affected in any way.
After a while, I only heard a strange "woo" in the dark air, and then more than a dozen white parachutes fell from the sky...... After all, the Japanese transport planes found the exact location in time to drop the ammunition.
"His grandmother's!" The Adversary slammed his fist to the ground.
The news soon reached Wang Mazi, and Wang Mazi was immediately stunned on the spot.
After a long time, Wang Mazi grabbed the cup next to him and slammed it to the ground, scolding: "Damn British, what did you say that when you evacuated from Yangon, you have blown the airport into ruins, and this devil can even fly a transport plane!" ”
On the other side, Dai Anlan was also puzzled when he got the news: "The news from Colonel Smith's side, doesn't it say that the devil doesn't have half a month's work and doesn't want to repair Yangon Airport?" Why is it only a few days......"
"Master!" Staff Officer Liang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "This should be an excuse made by the British for them not to send out the air force!" ”
"Hmm!" Dai Anlan couldn't help but nod when he heard this.
The British army in Burma had dozens of advanced fighter jets at Magway airfield on the Western Front, and if the British did not say so, it would mean that their air force would have to fight the Japanese for air supremacy, but this was obviously not something the British army wanted.
In other words, the British army is falsely spreading military information for its own selfishness, and this military information has also misled the squadron and caused very serious consequences.
In this regard, Dai Anlan should have been angry, but he was not angry.
Because he knows very well that it is useless to be angry, not to mention that as a graduate of Huangpu Phase III, Dai Anlan knows that only interests are talked about between countries.
For China, Burma is the lifeline of China's foreign aid, almost all military supplies need to be transported into China from here, once Burma falls, then all China's access to foreign countries will be cut off, and the Japanese army will directly threaten China's rear to form a two-sided attack on China.
For the British, Burma was nothing more than an outpost of India, another British colony, simply a buffer zone, and all the British needed was to drag the Japanese army in Burma, so that the British army on the Burma-India border would have time to prepare for defense.
Judging from this stake, the British were not worried that the squadron would not work hard, but the British took advantage of this to let the squadron drag the Japanese army so as to reduce their losses as much as possible.
Therefore, on the surface, this battle was a Sino-British coalition against the Japanese army, but in fact, it was the squadron that fought independently and even had to cover the retreat of the British army, during which it was constantly betrayed, deceived and used by the British army......
But this is no way to do it, the British can afford to play, but the Chinese can't afford to play, the squadron **** can't sit back and watch the China-Burma highway cut off by the Japanese army like this, if this is the case, after three months ** there will be no gasoline to burn and no shells to fight, then what to fight with the Japanese?!
Dai Anlan anxiously paced back and forth in front of the desk, gritted his teeth and said, "There is only one choice now, attack!" ”
A few minutes later, the order to storm reached Wang Mazi: "Order, the engineer regiment will contain the Japanese army on three sides, and the 3rd battalion of the 600th regiment will attack the main attack, and the airport must be recaptured before dawn!" ”
Wang Mazi couldn't help sighing, this order means that his plan to "cut off his transportation line and consume his ammunition" has been declared bankrupt, and now not only the regiment commander can't save it, but even he will not be able to keep his head because of "disobeying military orders".
But even so, Wang Mazi still had to admit that this order of the master seat was correct...... Although the Japanese troops at the airfield were surrounded, it was not a problem for transport planes to drop ammunition until dawn, and as soon as it was dark, the Japanese fighters and bombers would be dispatched again, and not only would the infantry be suppressed, but the artillery would not dare to easily expose their positions.
Thinking of this, Wang Mazi didn't hesitate any longer, and ordered the adjutant beside him: "The plan has changed, and all parts are ready to attack!" ”
Ordered, the first to bear the brunt was Zhang Chi's troops...... It was the other troops when they feinted before, but now it's the turn of a company.
As soon as he heard that he was about to attack the devil, Zhang Chi felt bitter in his heart: just now he was glad that he didn't have to carry out the feint mission, but now it's better to attack.
But an order is an order, and it is useless to complain...... In fact, Zhang Chi also wanted to hide behind a tree or in the grass at night to disappear for a while, but the problem was that he was a squad leader, and there were more than a dozen people under him staring at him and couldn't hide.
Zhang Chi couldn't help but scolded in his heart again: This officer should not be a little bigger, such as a battalion commander, a regiment commander or something, then he can command in the back, the small squad leader has no power, and he has no chance to be stared at by his subordinates and want to be a deserter!
All the way forward were wounded soldiers who had just been carried down from the battlefield and had not had time to evacuate, among which there were some seriously wounded who had broken their hands and feet, because they were worried that they would be discovered by the devils and attract shells, so they could only tie their mouths with towels and make a painful snort, coupled with the smell of blood in the air, which made Zhang Chi nervous and wanted to vomit for a while, and his feet unconsciously slowed down again.
Seeing that Zhang Chi was a little sluggish, the demon turned his head and glared at Zhang Chi, and shouted in a low voice: "Follow up!" ”
In desperation, Zhang Chi had to bite the bullet and learn from others...... Holding the gun, the cat walked forward cautiously.
