Chapter 47 Highway Bridges

Fortunately, Zhang Chi and others rushed to the highway bridge first.

The reason why Zhang Chi knew that he rushed to the highway bridge first was because they were not blocked when they drove the armored car through...... Although this step is simple to say, no one can guarantee that the jungle opposite is already full of Myanmar independence volunteers, so it is really thrilling to do.

But fortunately, it was just a false alarm, and nothing happened.

After crossing the bridge, Zhang Chi learned the reason why the Burmese Independence Volunteers chose this road bridge...... Although this highway bridge is not long, only a few tens of meters, but it is connected to a deep stream more than 200 meters deep, if this highway bridge is blown up, the 200th Division will have to lose all its equipment and enter the primeval forest to continue to retreat.

And it is conceivable that there is a high probability that there will be Japanese troops in the forest led by the Burmese waiting for the 200th division.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chi couldn't help but gasp, and didn't dare to hesitate at the moment, and ordered: "The third squad will drive the armored car back, go to the bend of the highway to prepare for battle, and immediately enter the battle after hearing the gunshot!" ”

"Yes!" The old squad leader answered, and with a wave of his hand, he jumped into the armored car with the fighters and returned the same way.

"Follow me in the first and second shifts!" With that, Zhang Chi led the soldiers to hide in the jungle on the side of the road, and suddenly it was as if nothing had happened near the highway bridge.

However, Zhang Chi quickly frowned, because he found a few track marks near the bridgehead under the sniper scope, which were left by armored vehicles, and he just wanted to send someone to erase these traces, when he heard his fellow villagers whisper: "Platoon commander, here!" ”

Looking at the bend on the other side of the road, I saw several bicycles speeding towards this side, the bicycle was a Burmese, with a gun on his back, and in the back seat, some of them sat another Burmese with a gun on their backs, and some of them were tied to a bag of something, Zhang Chi thought that it should be explosives used to blow up the bridge or ammunition for war.

And then there were more and more bikes, more and more...... At least, there are more than a hundred, that is, at least more than a hundred.

It may be a little funny to ride a bicycle to the battlefield, which may only be seen in the guerrillas at home.

Not to mention, this is due to the lack of equipment of the Burmese Independence Organization under the control and suppression of the British, but bicycles are sometimes even more useful than cars and tanks in Burma.

The reason for this is that central and northern Myanmar are full of lofty mountains, and cars and tanks rely heavily on roads and bridges...... Basically, as long as there is a road, you can even walk on your back if there is no road, and it is in this way that the 56th Division of the Japanese Army drove more than 200 kilometers of road in three days and threw it into the Tonggu battlefield.

The group of Burmese hurried all the way to the highway bridge on their bicycles, and soon plunged headlong into the encirclement arranged by Zhang Chi and others.

Originally, Zhang Chi was still a little nervous because of the difference in the number of enemies and friends, but at this time, half of his hanging heart was let go...... They should have sent at least a few men to reconnoiter in front, which proved that the Burmese did not have much military qualities.

All Zhang Chi seemed to have to do was wait for them to reach the open space at the head of the bridge and then pull the trigger.

However, at this moment, the cycling team suddenly stopped...... Zhang Chi was surprised to find a woman in his sniper scope, a woman wearing a military cap and a gray military uniform, at this time she was squatting to observe the traces on the road, and then looked around vigilantly.

The moment she turned around, Zhang Chi was a little shocked by her big and round eyes, especially those eyes were still a little innocent and a little panicked, which was not at all commensurate with the pistol she was holding in her hand and her capable movements.

Zhang Chi realized what she had discovered, so he pulled the trigger in the next second...... But unfortunately, she rolled on the ground and hid on the side of the road before Zhang Chi pulled the trigger, and the bullet hit another Burmese.

Zhang Chi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, a little glad that he didn't hit her.

Recalling the feeling at this time after the war, Zhang Chi felt that he was not willing to kill a woman, but this woman was an enemy, whether it was out of a hostile position or for the purpose of protecting the highway bridge, he should pull the trigger, so he would feel a sense of relief after she dodged.

"Retreat!" Zhang Chi heard the female officer's shout.

But it was too late to retreat, and with the sound of Zhang Chi's shot, the soldiers hiding in the jungle immediately pulled the trigger and fired rows of bullets at the Burmese volunteers.

The soldiers were holding Enfield, which had a fast rate of fire, and the Burmese army was only more than 100 meters away from the soldiers' hideouts, and the Burmese army was unsuspectingly gathered, so a round of bullets rained down more than a dozen immediately.

The Burmese Volunteers also had some courage, and in this case, they did not panic and flee in all directions, but immediately found cover nearby and raised their guns to return fire...... In fact, they should obey the orders of the female officers to retreat immediately or scatter and flee, and the losses will be smaller, but this is not to blame them, the guerrillas, it is difficult to ask them to immediately respond correctly according to the orders of their superiors.

Later, Zhang Chi learned that there was a reason why this Burmese volunteer army did not retreat, and there were some veterans like Ding Lun who had served in the Anglo-Burmese division, so as soon as they heard the gunfire of Zhang Chi and others, they knew that the enemy was not numerous.

This judgment is accurate, because at this time, Zhang Chi is only two squads of more than 20 people, while the volunteers have hundreds of people, such a force ratio, even if the volunteers are ambushed, they still have hope of winning, not to mention that their task of blowing up the bridge has not been completed, and they are not willing to withdraw for a while.

But what they didn't expect was ...... Zhang Chi is not the only ambush here.

As soon as the gunshots rang out here, the old squad leader and others who were hiding at the bend of the highway across the bridge immediately drove out the armored car, not to mention that the machine guns and rifles were beaten indiscriminately against the volunteers, and at this time, the vast majority of the volunteers were still facing Zhang Chi and flashed their backs in front of the armored car, so they were immediately caught off guard and in a big mess.

It can also be seen that the female officer was indeed prescient, and she may have imagined this situation when she saw the track print, but unfortunately her subordinates did not follow her orders.

After defeating a Brave Machine Gunner, Zhang Chi searched for the female officer on the battlefield.

But her movements were fast, and when Zhang Chi just found her, he saw her jump into the jungle with one jump.
