Chapter 48 Kettle

To explain, this female officer is not the heroine. Perhaps the previous books have similar characters, so when a female enemy appears again, it makes everyone feel familiar. But in fact, this female character is set up just to pave the way for the Burmese Volunteers to see the true nature of the Japanese army and decide to cooperate with the Expeditionary Force.

Alas, is this considered to be an early disclosure of the plot...

*******

Seeing the direction of the female officer escaping, Zhang Chi couldn't help but praise him secretly.

She ran away in the direction of Zhang Chi... Although this was a bit like sending death, the facts were not entirely true. You should know that the most fierce firepower at this time was the few heavy machine guns on the armored vehicle on the other side of the bridge. The ammunition was 12.7MM and could fire 450 to 550 rounds per minute. Although the Enfield rifle fired at a fast speed, it was only one-tenth of its power, not to mention that its bullets were much more powerful than Enfield. This also made the Burmese rebels on the road completely beaten to no avail.

Removing from both ends of the highway to escape from the fire range of the machine gun may be a feasible solution, but this is actually not a good choice. The reason is that there are hundreds of meters of sections on both sides of the roads exposed to the fire of the machine gun, not to mention that there are dozens of rifles that can keep firing... I'm afraid they will all lie down less than halfway.

But there is one place where the machine gun fire cannot reach, that is the hiding place of Zhang Chi and others.

To be precise, it is not that it cannot reach it, but that it is that it is a sluggish weapon... The machine gun bullets are not eye-catching. When it shoots out of the gun chamber, it will not care whether you are an enemy or a friend. Therefore, the old squad leader and others dare not shoot the machine gun in the direction of Zhang Chi and others' hiding place. Even because they are not sure about the specific hiding position of Zhang Chi and others, they dare not shoot at a slightly higher position.

Obviously, the female officer seized this and escaped from the blockade of the machine gun in the shortest time. Zhang Chi's vision could not even leave the battlefield in front of him, and could only allow the female officer to escape into the jungle.

A gunshot was heard, and a bullet flew out of Zhang Chi's rifle.

The one who fell to the ground was a Burmese volunteer army holding a pack of explosives in his hand. He obviously did not forget the mission of this trip... and exploded the highway bridge.

This is also the reason why Zhang Chi dared not leave the battlefield. Although the Burmese volunteers were defeated at this time, he could not guarantee that there would be fish that would rush onto the highway bridge. After all, the highway bridge is made of wooden and has been disrepaired for a long time. If one is not sure, just a explosive is wrapped on it and it will cause it to collapse.

"Bang!" Another gunshot.

The one who was knocked down could almost be called a child... This made Zhang Chi feel indescribable.

In fact, Zhang Chi hesitated when pulling the trigger, but when he saw the teenager holding a cluster grenade and the direction of the sprint was a road bridge, he still had to shoot bullets.

"That's just that Burmese people are thinner due to malnutrition!" Zhang Chi could only comfort himself like this, although he clearly saw the child's tender face when he fell to the ground in the sniper lens.

"Bang!" Another bullet flew out of the gun chamber.

This brave soldier is very smart. He did not get up and sprint towards the highway bridge like others, but slowly climbed forward along the gap between his comrades' bodies... On such a tense battlefield, who would care about a moving corpse?

He was almost going to succeed because he had climbed to a distance of only ten meters from the highway bridge. Next, as long as he pulled the explosive pack and threw it into the highway bridge, no one could stop the highway bridge from being blown up.

But he ignored one thing: dead bodies will bleed. When he crawled over those dead bodies, his body was covered with blood from his comrades, and it was these blood that betrayed him... A long blood mark was left on the road, and the blood mark pointed directly at the heroic army.

Maybe he would succeed one second later, but Zhang Chi still found him, so he became a real corpse.

Finally, the Burmese Volunteers shouted below: "We surrender, we surrender, don't shoot!"

At this time, blood and corpses were already everywhere on the road. Even Burmese riding bicycles were beaten to pieces everywhere, and some of the knocked front wheels were even rotating because of the hanging.

To a certain extent, Zhang Chi still admires these Burmese people, at least they showed courage and spirit in the battle, rather than being about to collapse like the British.

Perhaps, this is because they have their own belief in fighting, that is, they want to overthrow the British rule and fight for the independence and freedom of their own country.

However, what they should not be the last thing they should do is to "study for medical treatment in a hurry" and put their hopes of independence and freedom on the Japanese.

The battlefield situation was quickly controlled, and the third row could almost be said to have won the victory with zero casualties... The word "almost" is used here because a soldier was too close to the heavy machine gun, and his face was burned by the hot bullets jumping out of the heavy machine gun.

This is not his fault... The previous engineering regiments could be said to have few light machine guns, and heavy machine guns are even rarer, so when the soldiers fight to the point of becoming fierce, they often make low-level mistakes like this. Of course, the insufficient training of the engineering regiment is also one of the reasons.

After thinking about it, Zhang Chi hurried into the jungle behind him with a gun.

He guessed that the female officer would bypass his position and return to the original direction. If he was lucky, he could still intercept her halfway by walking.

Sure enough, when he had only walked for more than ten minutes, he heard the sound of weeds being driven by footsteps in one direction. So Zhang Chi stopped hesitating and leaned towards the direction where the sound came.

Later, Zhang Chi realized that it was very dangerous for him to do this because he had no experience in jungle combat at this time, but the other party was a Burmese who grew up in this land, this forest.

Of course, Zhang Chi didn't know this at this time.

He suddenly lost the sound of the target after walking for a while, which made Zhang Chi realize that the female officer had noticed someone was chasing him.

Zhang Chi didn't understand what exposed his whereabouts at first. You should know that he was very careful not to step on the branches or cause weeds. The next second he understood that the culprit was the kettle at his waist... It was already full when passing the pond, but because he drank some of it on the road, it was in mid-air, so when he walked, he would make a dull and light sound.

Suddenly, Zhang Chi found that he had changed from the original "intelligence of the enemy" to the unfavorable situation of "intelligence of the enemy" and "intelligence of the enemy".

At this moment, he almost regretted that he shouldn't have caught up with him so recklessly, and regretted that he shouldn't have been so careless that he didn't notice the sound of the kettle in advance.
