Chapter 2 Japanese Army
"Platform leader, platoon leader..."
Zhang Chi found platoon leader Chen Qiming as soon as possible.
Chen Qiming was the mustache that kicked Zhang Chi's butt. Because he liked to eat steamed buns, he even had to stuff a few buns into a dry food bag in a war, and he looked fierce all day long, so the soldiers secretly gave him a nickname - Devil (But Head).
The devil was commanding several soldiers to carry the rails. When he heard the sound, he turned his head and saw that it was Zhang Chi, he asked in anger: "What's wrong?"
"Platform leader, the Japanese are coming!"
"Come on, your grandma!" Chen Qiming frowned and glared, and said unhappily: "I said, Squad Leader 7, which eye did you see the Japanese coming?"
"Platform leader! The Japanese are really coming..." Zhang Chi didn't know how to explain, so he was so anxious that his forehead was sweating.
"Go and go!" Chen Qiming interrupted Zhang Chi impatiently and ordered: "I tell you, the seventh squad leader, you should not join the army at the beginning. If you dare to be a wanderer now, be careful that I will kill you!"
Zhang Chi sighed helplessly. He knew that nothing was useful and no one would believe him.
It’s not the fault of others, no one expected that the Japanese army would come around from a small path.
The Expeditionary Force and the Japanese army were both newcomers and unfamiliar with the terrain of Myanmar. There are mountains and ridges. Who knows which path can be used for troops to march and accurately penetrate to the designated location!
This was indeed true, but the Japanese army had the help of Burmese people.
Speaking of the Burmese people's help to the Japanese army, it may be a bit puzzled... The Japanese came to invade Myanmar, how could the Burmese people help the Japanese?
From our perspective, it is indeed the case, but from the perspective of the Burmese, it is completely different.
Because the British have always been colonizing Myanmar, enslaving Myanmar, and riding on the Burmese people, the Chinese Expeditionary Forces came to help the British fight, which became accomplices of the British. On the contrary, the Japanese came to drive away the colonists and liberate Myanmar... In fact, the Japanese also took advantage of this and entered Myanmar under the banner of "the same clan and the same clan, support Myanmar's independence", so they easily gained the support of the Burmese people, and even the Burmese Independence Volunteers assisted the Japanese army in fighting.
Therefore, it is not surprising that the Japanese army will find a mountain road to bypass the line of defense of the expeditionary force and directly attack the airport located behind Tonggu.
Zhang Chi returned to his post dejectedly.
What he was worried about was not the life of his comrades, nor the victory or defeat of the expeditionary army... At this time, Zhang Chi thought he was just a passerby of this era. To put it bluntly, what happened now was a thing of the past for him, and he had no intention of changing anything.
What Zhang Chi cares about is whether he can save his life in this chaotic and chaotic world.
Maybe it is not certain that you can return to modern times if you die in this time and space, but maybe this time you die is really dead... Who can be sure? Who dares to take his life to gamble?
It is not known whether others dare to Zhang Chi, but Zhang Chi doesn’t dare, so he must do his best to survive.
However, how can we survive?
Zhang Chi had no idea about this and could not even shoot...
Just when Zhang Chi was at a loss, the team broke up the railway tracks and walked into a tunnel. Zhang Chi looked at the surrounding terrain and couldn't help but think about it.
This tunnel is two or three hundred meters deep. If the tunnel collapses and blocks it, it can be delayed by Japan for at least ten hours. In this way, it can block the pursuit of Japan?
At that moment, Zhang Chi stopped hesitating and called a few people from Xiao Zhejiang to work in the tunnel.
Of course, Xiao Zhejiang and others didn't know that Zhang Chi was making his own decision. He thought it was an order from his superiors, so he acted very quickly and drilled holes on the tunnel wall to bury explosive packs, pulled the fuse and then did the necessary disguise.
The reason for disguise is to avoid being discovered by the enemy. Otherwise, there is a very likely situation when the fuse is still burning, let the enemy dig out the explosive bag and pull out the fuse.
This is the specialty of Xiao Zhejiang and others, as engineers. Several people worked together to restore the tunnel wall exactly the same as before, and even the fuse was buried under the turf.
Before Zhang Chisong could breathe, gunshots suddenly sounded at the other end of the tunnel... The Japanese came indeed.
The team of the Engineering Corps was in chaos in an instant, and at first someone wanted to organize resistance, but with a burst of dense gunfire, the soldiers of the Engineering Corps quickly retreated, and ran away while shouting: "The Japanese are here, the Japanese are here!"
Several officers waved their pistols to block the retreating crowd, but they could not stop it. After a while, the collapsed crowd rushed in like a tide.
It's not their fault.
First of all, the firepower and combat effectiveness of the Engineer Regiment are far from that of regular troops, and they are even more incomparable to the Japanese army.
Secondly, this is the rear of Tonggu. If all the Japanese troops appeared here, would it be said that the defense line of Tonggu had been broken? This psychological shock to the soldiers is indescribable.
More importantly,... Many people in the Engineering Corps are holding shovels, pickaxes, and guns on the side of the road. Even if they want to fight, what can they fight with the Japanese devils?!
So as history describes, the Japanese army collapsed after launching only one charge engineer regiment.
Only then did Zhang Chi realize that he had made a mistake.
He thought that as long as he saw the right time, he would just ignite the fuse after his people passed the tunnel. But the reality was... the tunnel was pitch black and there was a lot of gunfire, and he couldn't tell the difference between the enemy and us at all. Of course, he didn't know when his people passed the tunnel. He only saw teams of people rushing out of the tunnel and running towards the direction of the ancient times.
It is obvious that if the fuse is ignited at this time, it means that many of your own people have to be buried in the tunnel.
But don’t lit the fuse, and when the Japanese come out, I’m afraid there will be no chance to blow it up!
What's more serious is that more and more people were pouring out of the tunnel, and they became more and more fierce. In a few strokes, Zhang Chi and Xiao Zhejiang were rushing far away, and even the wires were not reached.
Zhang Chi wanted to rush towards the direction of the wire against the flow of people, but before he could take a few steps, he heard a few gunshots, and then he saw several soldiers lying in front of him screaming.
Zhang Chi was stunned. Although he had been dead in modern times, he had never seen such a scene: blood splattering everywhere, wailing painfully, and twitching body...
"Squad leader, what should I do? What should I do!" Zhang Chi heard Xiao Zhejiang's scream in panic.
