Gerald drove Su Hui in a jeep towards the Ringanqiang oil field. Along the way, he complained about the British authorities, as well as Prime Minister Winston Churchill.

"Ma'am, I don't think you know that our failure this time was not because we weren't brave enough. It was the group of damned pilots who actually threw * on our heads. "I've also heard that London has given an order to the new commander to say, 'Don't hold on to Burma, take the children to India.'"

"You know what? I thought I was here and we fought the Japanese monkeys to the end, but I didn't expect it to make us retreat step by step. I can't imagine what kind of prime minister is this to be able to make such a decision. Ensign Gerard was like that, chattering and chattering all the way through the jeep.

Su Hui had no choice but to listen, although she looked a little impatient, but Su Hui still agreed with many of these views, such as the retreat of the British army, according to the news she received, it was confirmed that the British army had no intention of holding on to Burma.

"Ma'am, you know what? If we withdraw like this, it will be miserable for those Chinese, their right flank will be completely exposed, and those Japanese monkeys will most likely come and attack unscrupulously. Oh my God, what did we do? Is that how we treat our allies? ”

The more Gerald spoke, the more excited he became, and he also talked about his heroic achievements in the North African battlefield, saying that the 7th Armored Brigade was a famous force in North Africa that had defeated enemies many times his size. "I didn't expect to be beaten by these Japanese monkeys here, I really feel that this is a shame!"

Gerald kept complaining along the way, and Su Hui listened to it. She found the young British ensign quite interesting, and he was not as playful as the British people she had in her mind.

The jeep creaked to a halt, and Gerald pointed to the front and said, "Ma'am, the front is the Renanqiang oil field, I think we are still a little farther away, there is a blasting operation going on there." ”

Su Hui readily agreed, in fact, there is no news value in blasting the oil field, but the British army takes special care of it, and it is not good if they don't come alone. Now that Capa is on the front line, she's here to come.

From here, the Ren'anqiang oil field at sunset is as beautiful as an oil painting. Takamatsu's oil towers were lined up in layers, and the oil extractors had stopped working, leaving only a few silhouettes in the fiery sunset.

"It's beautiful!" Su Hui took out her camera, loaded a few pieces of film, and clicked the shutter.

Film is very precious, the last time I brought the film was partially damaged due to the hot and humid weather, and now the only ones are sent by Huang Zhengzhong in China not long ago.

The process of sending this can be quite troublesome, because the officers and men of the expedition generally only communicate by surface mail to the country, and because of the frequent movement of various troops, it is difficult to deliver accurately. During the special period of the war years, even the families of the existing soldiers had just received a letter from the child from the front line on the first foot, and they may have received a death notice on the second foot.

This is especially true for officers and soldiers who are fighting abroad like the First Army of the Expeditionary Force, and such embarrassing things abound.

Letters are so difficult to send, you can imagine some items such as film.

I'm afraid that if it weren't for Huang Zhengzhong's tough enough relationship, it would be difficult for others to send film if they want to. However, it also took a lot of work, Huang Zhengzhong found the logistics terminal in Kunming, sent the things to the headquarters of the expeditionary force, and then handed them over to the troops who transported the foster care, so that they were repeatedly turned around many times before they were sent to Su Hui.

The film is one less film, Su Hui naturally won't waste these precious things on these meaningless shots, what is there to shoot in the blasting oil field? Did they want to prove that the British army was at the end of its rope? I really don't understand what these people think.

After taking a few photos, Su Hui put away the camera.

Gerald stood behind and looked curiously ahead, taking off his hat from time to time to wipe the sweat from his head.

"Ma'am, you may not believe it, but the weather here is hotter than in Africa. The weather in Africa is like a stove scorching you, and here it is so hot and humid that I honestly don't know when my military uniform has dried. Gerald leaned against the jeep, one hand on his waist, his hat in the other, and fanning the wind.

Click! Su Hui looked back and saw this scene, clicked and pressed the shutter, and a picture of the irritable demeanor of a British second lieutenant was captured.

"Hey! Ma'am, I think you should tell me in advance that I should strike another pose. Gerald grinned and posed. I'm going to let her take another one.

Unexpectedly, Su Hui smiled: "It's okay, the one just now is very good." ”

As the two were talking, there was a loud explosion, and the two of them hurriedly ran forward, only to see a tall pine oil tower fall down like a giant that had been hit, followed by a cloud of earth mist on the ground that was shaken.

Gerald looked at it and smiled, "Hey, how about what I said?" I'm sure we'll get hurt by these things if we get too close. ”

Su Hui felt a little pity, after all, they were all things that had been built with hard work, and they were blasted out like this, and she felt a little distressed when she thought about it.

"Gerald, do you know how long the blasting work lasts?" Su Hui asked.

Gerrard put on his hat, "I guess it's going to last until the evening." You know, we're going to have to destroy all of this stuff before we evacuate, and we can't leave it to the Japanese monkeys. I've heard of them blasting the fields so destructively that they can't get back to their previous production for at least a few years. ”

"God! War is truly a catastrophe for humanity. Su Hui couldn't help but wonder, why was this oil being snatched by the British and Japanese on Burmese soil?

She was distracted for a moment, and another booming explosion sounded, and another oil tower fell down in the sound.

Tata Tower~! Suddenly, there was a chaotic burst of gunfire in the distance. Gerald, who had experienced many battles of life and death, frowned, realizing the possible danger.

"Quick, get to the car!" When Gerald grabbed Su Hui and was about to run towards the car, he heard a scream of a cannonball in the air, and with a bang, a bazooka hit the jeep they were riding in, and the hood in front of the car was lifted several meters high, and the shattered glass slag flew everywhere.

The cannonball's air wave knocked the two to the ground, Gerald shook his head when he got up, and after realizing that something was wrong, he pulled Su Hui and ran towards the jungle next to him.

"Hello Pass!" On the other side of the jungle, there were some voices of Japanese soldiers talking, and Gerald and Su Hui secretly said that it was not good, but they didn't expect the Japanese army to come here.

At the moment, we can neither run in the direction of the oil field, because that would become a living target for the Japanese army, nor can we run back in the opposite direction, where the Japanese army came from, and going back now is tantamount to death.

Beads of sweat the size of beans broke out on Gerald's head, and he grabbed Su Hui and lifted her up to a tree. Su Hui attaches great importance to exercise on weekdays, and it is not difficult to climb up a tree, and after a while, she climbed up, and Gerald followed suit.

Both of them were wearing British army green training uniforms, and they were covered with some branches as a camouflage, so they had to barely pretend to be on the trees.

After a while, a group of Japanese soldiers came running from the other side of the road. The Japanese soldiers hurriedly ran to the side of the road just now, looked at it, and babbled and spoke.

Gerald and Su Hui hid in the trees, not daring to move, they stared at the group of Japanese soldiers on the road, and their hearts were suddenly afraid. These Japanese soldiers were dressed for jungle warfare, they wore straw hats on their heads, they were covered in camouflage made of leaves, and they were mainly armed with Hyakshi* and British Stern*.

If there is no mistake in speculation, this group of Japanese troops is interspersed with advanced troops, and their target is most likely the nearby Ringanqiang oil field.

A few men who looked like officers babbled around the scrapped jeep and then waved their hands and ordered, and the officers and men of the brigade began to run towards the oil field with their guns hooked up.

The group of Japanese soldiers was very long, there were more than 200 people, and every time they ran over, Su Hui and Gerald, who were hiding in the trees, became nervous, and it took about a few minutes before the group of Japanese soldiers ran over to finish. And it wasn't until more than twenty minutes later, when it was determined that there were no more Japanese troops behind, that Su Hui and Gerald hurriedly got off the tree.

"Ma'am, we must get back and report this to the chiefs as soon as possible, or the blasting will not be done." Gerald pulled out a Browning pistol pinned to his waist and thrust it onto the chamber with a thud. I had a * in the car just now, but unfortunately I didn't take it and was blown away in the explosion just now.

"I'm afraid it's too late." After Su Hui finished speaking, she pointed to the oil field below, and the crackling gunshots kept rang out, and from there it seemed that the Japanese army had begun to attack the oil field.

At this time, the British army that was still blasting the oil field naturally did not expect that there would be Japanese interspersed with, so they were caught off guard by this group of Japan, and soon the oil field area was in chaos.

"We'll have to go back quickly, staying here won't do anything, they'll find out." After speaking, Gerald tilted his head at Su Hui and motioned for her to hurry back with him.

At this time, they did not know that the area where they were now had been surrounded by Japanese troops. It's already nine deaths for them to want to get out.
