"Bang bang ......" When Zhang Chi leaned out again and shot at the Japanese soldiers, he found that the Japanese troops who were surging in had become much more relaxed, and the speed of the charge was much slower.

This may be because the Japanese army realized that they had made a mistake, that is, they miscalculated the firepower of the squadron and thought that they could rush into the team of the squadron to start hand-to-hand combat.

People tend to be like this, holding back their energy when they think they have hope, and becoming discouraged when they find that they have no hope.

The Japanese troops who charged before belonged to the former, and the Japanese troops at this time belonged to the latter.

What led to this transformation of the Japanese army was the Enfield rifles in the hands of the soldiers.

But the Japanese army was still different from other units...... The other troops either retreated or fled in all directions at this point, after all, not many people were willing to rush forward when they knew there was no hope.

But this was not the case with the Japanese soldiers, who still rushed forward with a howl, and even ignited the explosive bag on their chests early...... This is the fear that he will die too quickly and will not have a chance to pull the fuse.

Zhang Chi specifically targeted these Japanese troops, because he knew that these Japanese troops were likely to be a threat to tanks.

But even so, two tanks burst into flames from the explosions...... They may not have had time to stop the charge of the Japanese soldiers holding the gunpowder bag, or they may have just passed by the top of the explosive bag that had been pulled the fuse by it. Who knows? Any accident can happen on the battlefield.

Suddenly, a splash flashed in front of Zhang Chi's eyes, and before he could react, he was choked by a Japanese soldier. This Japanese soldier was so shrewd as to sneak in front of Zhang Chi in the water and then attack, and this Japanese soldier was obviously a veteran, he grabbed Chi Chi's neck while his elbows pressed Zhang Chi's hands holding the gun from top to bottom, so that Zhang Chi was powerless to resist at all. And between them, there was a bag of explosives emitting green smoke......

Looking at the fierce gaze of the Japanese soldier and the beastly cry coming out of his mouth, Zhang Chi suddenly understood why a tank had been blown up. But now it seems to be too late, waiting for Zhang Chi may only be the end of being blown to bones, of course, there may be comrades around and even tanks around them that are blown up into the sky.

Zhang Chi had to deal with the Japanese soldier who was choking his neck in the shortest possible time and throw it away before the explosive pack exploded, or he would die.

But this was almost impossible to do, and Zhang Chi was even imagining the tragic scene of himself being blown to pieces.

At this moment, Zhang Chi suddenly made a move that even surprised him afterwards, he hugged the Japanese soldier, and as soon as he bent down, he stuffed his head into the track of the tank next to him...... The Japanese army didn't have time to snort, and his head was twisted into the track, and the hand that was pinching Zhang Chi's neck lost its strength.

Zhang Chi didn't dare to hesitate, and ripped off the explosive bag on the chest of the headless Japanese soldier...... Fortunately, the explosive bag was hung around the neck and not tied to the body, otherwise it would have been too late.

At that time, Zhang Chi would think so much, shook off the corpse and ran forward with the explosives bag a few steps, and then threw the explosives bag in the direction of the Japanese army and turned around and ran, before Zhang Chi came to hide behind the tank, he heard a loud "boom" behind him, and a strong force came from the rear to push Zhang Chi into the river.

"Platoon commander!"

"Platoon commander!"

……

If it weren't for a few subordinates to fish Zhang Chi out of the water, I was afraid that Zhang Chi would have drowned in the river in a coma.

When Zhang Chi slowly woke up, there were only a few Japanese soldiers left on the opposite side, they didn't even have the strength to charge, some knelt in the river and didn't move, looking at the tanks slowly driving towards them with dull eyes, some looked at the black muzzle in front of them and walked forward calmly, and some looked at the east (in the direction of Japan) from a distance and ignored the expeditionary soldiers approaching them.

"Hands up, guns won't kill!" The soldiers shouted at the Japanese soldiers, but they did not react.

The fighters pulled the trigger and knocked them down one by one in the Sedan River, although they had lost the will to fight, which can be said to be harmless.

Zhang Chi understands that this is part of the war, either you die or I die, not to mention that they haven't put down their guns yet, not to mention that they are still Japanese soldiers who committed many crimes in the war of aggression against China.

The battle lasted only twenty minutes, but the intensity of these ten minutes was no less than that of any other battle, which can be seen from the corpses and blood everywhere in the Sedan River, and it is not too much to describe it with the idiom "rivers of blood".

What made the fighters a little unbearable was that the tanks continued to move forward, to keep going...... Soon the corpses of the Japanese soldiers piled up in the river, and under the weight of the tank, the corpses burst open like leather balls, and the river soon became bright red again, and the tracks were hung with various strips of minced meat and cloth, and the air was filled with a disgusting stench.

In fact, at this time, Zhang Chi and the others were engrossed in paying attention to whether there were any remaining enemies on the other side, so they didn't notice these at all, and it wasn't until the next day that they found that their military uniforms below the waist were full of blood, as if they were dyed red by paint, and there were still a few pieces of minced meat stuck to the gaps of the straw sandals...... So I remembered this scene last night, and I vomited a piece at that time.

Of course, that's all for later.

At this time, there were indeed some remnants of Japanese troops on the other side of the river, which were the small detachments that served as fire cover, and they did not give up at this last moment, and still fired shells in the direction of the soldiers of the expeditionary force.

It was not difficult to deal with these Japanese troops, it would only take a few tanks to turn their guns and fire indiscriminately at their position, and then two platoons charged under the cover of machine guns...... The war entered its final phase.

The final stage is to ensure that there is no more potential threat to the area and quickly build fortifications against possible Japanese reinforcements, after all, the main army will pass through here, and if the Japanese are blocked in the river again, there will be a big mess.

"Found a devil official!" At this time, someone shouted in front of him: "Shoot or kill!" ”

Zhang Chi led the troops to rush forward to take a look, and sure enough, he saw a Japanese officer with a command knife at his waist sitting on a shell box, holding a pistol in his hand, and staring at something in his hand.

"Lay down your arms and surrender!" Zhang Chi shouted in Japanese: "Surrender the gun and don't kill!" ”

This not only attracted the sideways glances of the surrounding comrades-in-arms, but also made the Japanese officers raise their heads and look at Zhang Chi.

"You...... Do you know Japanese? The Japanese officer asked.

"Surrender, we will treat the captives leniently!" Zhang Chi said something against his will, because he knew that the reason why this Japanese officer was still alive until now was only because the soldiers wanted to get some valuable information from this officer.

"I want to know who beat me at the Tile Bridge!" This Japanese officer was none other than Yuta Harada, and at this time he just wanted to find out about this matter before he died.

Zhang Chihui didn't speak much Japanese, it was just a little bit of what he learned from his girlfriend in the Japanese department when he was in college, but he understood the meaning of this sentence, because there was a "tile bridge" in it.

After realizing this, Zhang Chi couldn't help but secretly say that the road was narrow, it turned out that the Japanese army that was destroyed under the hands of the engineer regiment tonight was the one that Zhang Chi met near the Wajie Bridge a few days ago, and the commanders of the two sides also met in this situation, not only met but also talked to each other.

"It's me!" Zhang Chi looked at his subordinates around him and replied, "And my subordinates!" ”

"It's you!" Yuta Harada looked at Zhang Chi with disbelief on his face, because he knew from Zhang Chi's military uniform that Zhang Chi was just a small soldier...... In fact, Zhang Chi was already a platoon commander at this time, and he should have been equipped with a military uniform with the rank of second lieutenant, but this was due to the fact that he had no conditions and no time to change it in wartime.

However, Yuta Harada had to believe it again, because at this time, one after another American tanks were rumbling past Zhang Chi, and of course Yuta Harada knew that it was the same batch he saw on the tile iron bridge, so he sighed, said "thank you" to Zhang Chi, and then raised his gun and aimed it at his temple and pulled the trigger.

With a "bang", Yuta Harada was lying on one side of his feet, and a photo fell from his hand, in the middle of which a woman in a kimono had a slightly melancholy smile on her face, holding a child in her hand and looking at the camera innocently and curiously......
