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

The reason why Zhang Chi knew that he had arrived at the highway bridge first was because they were not blocked when they drove through the armored vehicles... Although this step was simple, no one could guarantee whether the jungle opposite was full of Burmese Independence Volunteers, so it was really thrilling.

Fortunately, it was just a false alarm and nothing happened.

After crossing the bridge, Zhang Chi learned why the Myanmar Independence Volunteers wanted to choose this highway bridge... Although this highway bridge is not long, only a few dozen meters long, it is connected to a deep ravine more than 200 meters deep. If this highway bridge is blown off, the 200th Division will only have a way to continue to retreat if it throws away all its equipment and enters the primeval forest.

It is conceivable that there are likely Japanese troops led by Burmese people waiting for the 200th Division in the forest.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chi couldn't help but gasp and did not dare to hesitate anymore. He ordered: "Squad 3 drove the armored vehicle back, went to the bend of the road to prepare for battle, and immediately entered the battle after hearing the gunshots!"

"Yes!" The old squad leader responded, and waved his hand and led the soldiers to jump onto the armored vehicles and return back the same way.

"Squad 1 and 2 come with me!" As he said that, Zhang Chi led the soldiers into the jungle on the side of the road. In an instant, it seemed that nothing had happened near the highway bridge.

However, Zhang Chi quickly frowned because he found several track marks near the bridge under the sniper lens, which were left by an armored vehicle. He was about to send someone to wipe off these traces when he heard a fellow villager whispering: "Plane leader, here you are here!"

Looking at the bend on the other side of the road, I saw several bicycles coming quickly. The bicycles were Burmese people, carrying guns on their backs. Some were sitting in the back seats with another Burmese people carrying guns. Some were tied with a pack of something. Zhang Chi thought it should be explosives used to blow up bridges or ammunition for combat.

Then there were more and more bicycles, more and more... at least there were about a hundred, which means at least more than one hundred people.

This may be a bit funny. Riding a bicycle to the battlefield, this scene may only be seen in domestic guerrillas.

But let alone, although this is because the Myanmar Independent Organization lacks equipment under the control and suppression of the British, bicycles are sometimes even more useful than automobiles and tanks in Myanmar.

The reason is that in Myanmar, northern Myanmar is full of mountains and ridges, while cars and tanks rely heavily on roads and bridges. Once these are damaged, they can only be repaired and climbed like snails while crawling. This is undoubtedly easy to be surrounded, but bicycles... basically as long as there is a road, and occasionally there is no road or even a carrying can be carried. This is how the Japanese 56th Division drove more than 200 kilometers of roads in three days and put them on the same battlefield.

The group of Burmese people rushed towards the highway bridge on bicycles, and soon plunged into the encirclement arranged by Zhang Chi and others.

Originally, Zhang Chi was a little nervous because the number of enemies and us was too different, but at this time, a hung heart was relieved half... They should have sent at least a few people to reconnaissance in front, which proves that this group of Burmese people do not have much military qualities.

All Zhang Chi had to do seemed to be just waiting for them to arrive at the open space at the bridgehead and then pull the trigger.

However, at this moment, the bicycle convoy suddenly stopped... Zhang Chi was surprised to find a woman in his sniper lens, a woman wearing a military cap and a gray military uniform. At this time, she was squatting and observing the traces on the road, and then she looked around alertly.

The moment she turned around, Zhang Chi was a little shocked by her big and round eyes, especially the eyes were a little naive and panic, which was not at all consistent with the pistol and her capable movements.

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

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

When he recalled the feeling at this time after the war, Zhang Chi felt that he was unwilling to kill a woman, but this woman was an enemy. He should pull the trigger whether it was for a hostile position or for the purpose of protecting the highway bridge, so he felt relieved after she could dodge.

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

But it was too late to retreat at this time. With the sound of Zhang Chi's gunshots, the soldiers hiding in the jungle immediately pulled the trigger and fired rows of bullets at the Burmese Volunteers.

The soldiers were holding Enfield, who had a fast firing speed, and the Burmese army was only more than 100 meters away from the soldiers' hiding place. In addition, the Burmese army gathered together without any defense, so a round of bullet rains fell and it immediately knocked down more than a dozen.

The Burmese Volunteers were also a little brave. In this case, they did not flee in panic, but immediately looked for cover and raised guns to fight back... In fact, they should obey the orders of the female officers and retreat immediately or escape in a scattered manner. The losses would be smaller. However, it is not their fault. The guerrillas are difficult to ask them to respond immediately according to the orders of their superiors.

Later, Zhang Chi learned that there was a reason why this Burmese volunteer army did not retreat. There were many veterans like Ding Lun who had served in the British and Burmese army, so when he heard the incontinuous gunfire of Zhang Chi and others, he knew that the number of enemies was not large.

This judgment is accurate, because at this time, Zhang Chi had only more than 20 people, while the Volunteer Army had hundreds of people. With such a force, even if the Volunteer Army was ambushed, there was still hope of victory. Moreover, their mission of bombing the bridge was not completed, so they were unwilling to withdraw for a while.

But what they didn't expect was... Zhang Chi was not just this ambush.

As soon as the gunshots sounded here, the old squad leader hiding at the bend of the road opposite the bridge and others immediately drove out the armored vehicle. Without saying a word, he started the machine gun and attacked the rifle in a row. At this time, most of the volunteers were still facing Zhang Chi and shining their backs in front of the armored vehicle, so they were immediately caught off guard and in chaos.

From this we can also see that the female officer was indeed foresighted. Perhaps she thought that this would be the case when she saw the track marks. Unfortunately, her subordinates did not act according to her orders.

After knocking down a volunteer machine gunner, Zhang Chi searched for the female officer on the battlefield.
