Chapter 56: The Main Force

"Get up, get up for me!"

When he was sleeping soundly, he was kicked unexpectedly on his buttocks.

Zhang Chi couldn't help but get angry, and secretly cursed, who dared to kick Lao Tzu's ass...... Before he could open his eyes, he grabbed the gun and jumped up from the ground.

When I looked closely, I found that there was already a group of soldiers wearing the same military uniform as myself standing in the warehouse, and the rank of captain standing in front of me was still a captain.

So Zhang Chi understood that the main force of the Fifth Army had arrived, and the reason why they were able to come in without them noticing was that they were afraid that the fellow villagers on duty would see that they were their own people, and they were also captains, so they didn't dare to turn back and warn them.

Glancing at the fellow villagers standing at the entrance of the warehouse, his helpless and innocent expression made Zhang Chi know that his guess was right.

"Huh!" At this time, the captain noticed the sniper rifle in Zhang Chi's hand, and his eyes couldn't help but be surprised.

"What part are you from?" The captain asked.

"Report sir!" Zhang Chi stepped forward and replied: "We are the first regiment, one battalion, one company and three platoons of the 200th Division of engineers, and I am the platoon commander Zhang Chi!" ”

"Hmm! Engineer Corps! The captain nodded, and raised his head towards the warehouse again: "How many armored vehicles are parked at the door and are also yours?" ”

"Yes, sir!" At this time, Zhang Chi realized that it was the armored car parked at the door that attracted their attention.

"Ho!" Hearing this, the captain put on a strange expression: "Your 200th division is really arrogant, the engineer regiment is equipped with armored vehicles and sniper rifles...... Go and talk to your division commander, and say that our battalion has requisitioned these equipment! ”

The captain was playing tricks, and deliberately did not say the number when he said "our battalion", in order to make Zhang Chi and the others nowhere to find it afterwards.

Saying that, the captain reached out and grabbed the sniper rifle in Zhang Chi's hand, but he couldn't grab it after grabbing it twice, and he couldn't help but stare at Zhang Chi fiercely with a fierce look.

"You dare to disobey orders?" The captain was using orders to suppress the relaxation.

Zhang Chi smiled coldly and replied, "Sir, there is nothing wrong with these equipment for you, but I'm afraid you can't afford it!" ”

"Joke!" The captain didn't think about it, so he responded: "You engineer regiments can afford it, but we troops who want to go to the battlefield and fight the devils can't afford it?" ”

As he spoke, the captain and all the officers and men he brought with him laughed.

"Sir!" When they had laughed enough, Zhang Chi replied, "We snatched these equipment from the Japanese." If you can afford it, take it! ”

As soon as he said that, Zhang Chi let go of his hand, and the sniper rifle fell on the captain's hand.

The laughter stopped abruptly, and everyone looked at Zhang Chi and the others in amazement, especially the captain, who originally thought that these equipment were discarded by the British when they fled and picked up by the soldiers of these engineer regiments, but he didn't expect that they were snatched from the Japanese.

You must know that this is the loot snatched from the enemy on the battlefield, who can "requisition" these trophies, this is a big taboo in the army and is also despised.

So the captain didn't take the sniper rifle yet, and his face was red and white with embarrassment.

After a long time, the captain asked, "You took these from the Japanese?" ”

"Yes, sir!" Zhang Chi replied.

Of course, the sniper rifle was snatched from the Volunteers, but this detail does not need to be elaborated.

"Battalion commander!" At this time, an adjutant came up and lowered his voice and said, "Didn't I hear about it...... In Tonggu, there was a platoon of sappers who repelled a brigade of devils and captured a large amount of equipment? That platoon leader seems to be called Zhang Chi! ”

This surprised Zhang Chi, he didn't expect his name to have spread in the Fifth Army.

What Zhang Chi didn't know was that his name had been passed on to the Fifth Army...... Spread throughout the expeditionary force and even throughout the country.

This is actually not surprising, because at this time, China was repeatedly defeated on the frontal battlefield, and the Japanese army not only occupied half of China, but also launched an indiscriminate bombardment of Chongqing.

In this case, the Kuomintang needs a victory too much to boost the morale of the army, and the people hiding in the air-raid shelter also need a victory too much to motivate themselves to persevere, so every victory on the battlefield in Burma will affect the hearts of the whole people, and even the Kuomintang will exaggerate the victory for propaganda for the purpose of "quenching the thirst of the plum".

For example, the Battle of Tonggu was exaggerated as the 200th Division annihilating a main division of the Japanese army, and the Battle of Zhangchiwa Jieqiao was exaggerated as repelling a wing of the Japanese army, killing and wounding a brigade of devils.

(Note: It is true that the battle between the 200th Division and the ancient division was exaggerated, and the exaggeration of the battle of Zhangchiwa Jieqiao was made up by the author, and any similarities are purely coincidental.) )

"Hmm!" The captain asked, "Are you Zhang Chi?" ”

"Report sir, I'm Zhang Chi!"

"It's you who platoon...... Repelled more than a thousand devils? ”

"Report sir, it's our platoon!"

Zhang Chi's answer quickly caused a sensation among the soldiers except the Engineer Corps, all of whom looked at Zhang Chi with incredible eyes, and of course there was respect here.

"Hmm!" The captain nodded, returned the sniper rifle to Zhang Chi's hand with a slightly embarrassed expression, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry brother, you're right, I really can't stand it!" Give face, don't care about ......"

As he spoke, he raised his head and said loudly: "A misunderstanding, the flood washed the Dragon King Temple, they are all their own people, let's withdraw!" ”

Then he nodded to Zhang Chi and the others, and with a wave of his hand, he led the troops to the outside of the warehouse. After walking a few steps, he stopped, and instructed the adjutant: "The brothers of the engineer regiment must be hungry, so let the cooking team get some food immediately!" ”

"Yes!" The adjutant answered, and immediately trotted all the way to the herald.

So Zhang Chi and the others soon enjoyed a big meal: a bucket of fragrant white rice and a basin of cabbage stewed pork.

You must know that this is an army, and it is also a Chinese army when there is a shortage of materials, and you can't even see a little oil meat in peacetime, but you can eat pork at this time...... This made the soldiers ecstatic, and they feasted around the pot of pork, and ate the big pot of pork at all, and finally even the basin with meat was licked clean by the hooligans!

"Alas! It's a good feeling to win! The hooligan said while touching his round belly: "Look at the soldiers of the main force, who used to be powerful on our heads, and now they were frightened when they heard our number, and they also sent such a large basin of ......."

As soon as he had finished speaking, the hooligan burped hard.

"Why don't you say it's better to follow the platoon commander?" The fellow villager said vaguely while picking his teeth with a sharpened bamboo: "This name is also the name of our platoon leader!" ”

"That's right! Follow the platoon leader! Xiao Zhejiang answered: "Follow the platoon commander...... There is meat to eat! ”

These words made Zhang Chi almost faint.
