Chapter 2 The Japanese Army

"Platoon Commander, Platoon Commander ......"

Zhang Chi found the platoon commander Chen Qiming as soon as possible.

Chen Qiming is the mustache who kicks Zhang Chi's buttocks, because he likes to eat steamed buns very much, and even when he fights, he has to stuff a few steamed buns in the dry food bag, and he looks fierce and vicious all day long, so the soldiers secretly nicknamed him - Devil (Steamed Bun).

The demon was directing several soldiers to carry the steel rails, and when he heard the voice, he turned his head, and when he saw that it was Zhang Chi, he asked angrily: "What's wrong?" ”

"Platoon commander, the devil is coming!"

"Come on your grandma!" Chen Qiming frowned, his eyes widened, and he said unhappily: "I said Seventh squad leader, which eye did you see that the devil was coming?!" ”

"Platoon commander! The devil is really coming......" Zhang Chi didn't know how to explain, but he was so anxious that his forehead was sweating.

"Go, go!" Chen Qiming interrupted Zhang Chi impatiently and ordered: "I told you the seventh squad leader, if you are greedy for life and afraid of death, you shouldn't have joined the army in the first place, but now if you dare to desert, be careful that Lao Tzu kills you!" ”

Zhang Chi sighed helplessly, he knew that it was useless to say anything now, no one would believe him.

This is not to blame others, no one expected that the Japanese army would bypass the path.

The expeditionary force and the Japanese army are also newcomers who are not familiar with the terrain of Burma, which is steep and steep, and who knows which path can be used for the troops to march and accurately intersperse to the designated position!

This would have been true, but the Japanese army had the help of the Burmese.

Speaking of this Burmese helping the Japanese army, it may be a little puzzling...... The Japanese are here to invade Burma, how can the Burmese do the Japanese a favor?

That's true from our point of view, but it's completely different from the Burmese point of view.

Because for a long time, it was the British who colonized Burma, enslaved Burma, and rode on the heads of the Burmese people, and the Chinese expeditionary force came to help the British fight, so they became accomplices of the British, but the Japanese came to drive away the colonists and liberate Burma...... In fact, the Japanese also took advantage of this and entered Burma under the banner of "Japan and Burma have the same clan and support Burmese independence", so they easily won the support of the Burmese people, and even the Burmese independence volunteers assisted the Japanese army in the war.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the Japanese army would find a mountain road to bypass the line of defense of the expeditionary force and directly attack the airfield located in the rear of Tonggu.

Zhang Chi returned to his post dejectedly.

He was not worried about the lives of his comrades, nor about the victory or defeat of the expeditionary force...... At this time, Zhang Chi thought that he was just a passer-by of this era, and to put it bluntly, what happened now was a thing of the past for him, and he had no intention of changing anything.

What Zhang Chi cares about is whether he can save his life in this war-torn and troubled world.

Maybe dying on this plane is not necessarily going back to modern times, but maybe dying this time is really dead...... Who knows for sure? Who would dare to gamble with their own lives?

I don't know if others dare Zhang Chi, but Zhang Chi doesn't dare, so he has to do his best to survive.

But how do you survive?

Zhang Chi had no idea about this for a while, and he didn't even know how to shoot......

Just when Zhang Chi was at a loss, the team dismantled the railroad tracks all the way into a tunnel, and Zhang Chi couldn't help but think about it when he looked at the surrounding terrain.

This tunnel is two or three hundred meters deep, and if this tunnel is blown up and blocked, it will be able to delay Little Japan for more than ten hours, so that it will be able to block Little Japan's pursuit?

At that moment, Zhang Chi no longer hesitated, and called a few people from Xiaozhejiang to work in the tunnel.

Of course, Xiao Zhejiang and the others didn't know that Zhang Chi was making his own opinion, and thought that this was an order from his superiors, so they dug holes in the tunnel wall to bury explosive packets in a very quick manner, pulled the fuse, and then made the necessary camouflage.

The reason for the camouflage is to avoid being discovered by the enemy, otherwise it is very likely that when the fuse is still burning, the enemy will dig out the explosives bag and pull out the fuse.

This is the specialty of Xiao Zhejiang and others, who are sappers, and several people worked together to restore the tunnel wall to be exactly the same as the original, and even the fuse was buried under the turf.

Before Zhang Chi could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard a sudden gunfire at the other end of the tunnel...... Sure enough, the Japanese came.

The ranks of the Engineer Regiment were in chaos in an instant, and at first there were people who wanted to organize resistance, but with a dense burst of gunfire, the soldiers of the Engineer Regiment quickly retreated, shouting as they ran: "The devil is coming, the devil is coming!" ”

Several officers brandished pistols to block the retreating crowd, but where could they stop, and in a short time the scattered crowd came like a tidal wave.

And they can't be blamed for that.

First of all, the firepower and combat effectiveness of the engineer regiment were already far from the regular troops, and they could not be compared with the Japanese army.

Secondly, this is the rear of Tonggu, if the Japanese army has appeared here, does it mean that the Tonggu defense line has been breached? The psychological shock to the fighters was indescribable.

More importantly...... At this time, many people in the engineering regiment are holding shovels and pickaxes in their hands, and the guns are all on the side of the road.

So, as history describes, the Japanese army collapsed with only one assault engineer regiment.

That's when Zhang Chi realized that he had made a mistake.

He thought that as long as he saw the right time, he would be able to light the fuse after his people passed through the tunnel. But the reality is ...... The tunnel was pitch black and full of gunshots, and I couldn't tell the difference between friend and foe, and of course I didn't know when my people crossed the tunnel, only to see teams of people pouring out of the tunnel desperately running in the direction of Tonggu.

Obviously, if you ignite the fuse at this time, it means burying many of your own people in the tunnel.

But don't light the fuse, when the devil comes out, I'm afraid that I won't have a chance to blow it up!

What's more serious is that the crowd of people pouring out of the tunnel is more and more, and it is getting more and more fierce, and in a few strokes, Zhang Chi and Xiaozhejiang and the others are so far away that they can't even reach the wires.

Zhang Chi wanted to rush in the direction of the conductor against the flow of people, but before he could rush a few steps, he heard a few gunshots, and then saw several soldiers lying in front of him screaming.

Zhang Chi was stunned, although he could be said to have died once in modern times, he had never seen such a scene: blood splashing everywhere, wailing in pain, and a convulsive body......

"Squad leader, what should I do? What to do! In a panic, Zhang Chi heard Xiao Zhejiang's shout.

"Also...... What else can I do?! Zhang Chi's voice trembled a little, at this time, where would he care about blowing up the tunnel, where would he care about pulling the fuse, and only shouted "Run!" As he spoke, he turned around and joined the retreating crowd.
