Chapter Ninety-Four: Rules
This time, Wang Mazi felt a big headache.
Obey Captain Lin's order and rush to Pingmanna...... Wang Mazi also knew that Lin Wei was just a man on paper, and obeying his orders was likely to disrupt Du Yuming's overall strategy.
Obey Du Yuming's orders and rush to Mandalay...... Captain Lin was also the head of the staff group, which was commanded on behalf of Chiang Kai-shek in Burma, and disobeying his orders was punishable by beheading.
So Wang Mazi thought about it and forwarded the order of the staff group to Du Yuming.
waited for more than half an hour before Wang Mazi received a call back from Du Yuming: "Obey the decision of the staff committee!" ”
Although this problem was solved, Wang Mazi knew that Shangfeng must have a disagreement in strategy, otherwise it would be impossible for two different orders to fall on the engineer regiment.
This is a very serious thing in wartime and should not happen, at this time the engineer regiment is okay, they are hiding in the bamboo forest and waiting for dark before marching, so there is enough time to call back and then wait for the correction order from the peak. This is if the troops who are fighting suddenly receive two completely different orders...... Where there is still time to wait, you can only choose one of them to obey depending on the situation, and this will not only waste fighters, but also cause a big mess if you are not careful.
But Wang Mazi didn't want to think too much, so Shangfeng's matter was left to Shangfeng to solve by himself. Now that Du Yuming has compromised, he has drawn up a plan to go to Pingmanna and send several troops to do reconnaissance work in armored vehicles and occupy key points along the road.
So Zhang Chi also knew that the engineer regiment was about to rush to Pingmanna, which was not surprising, the engineer regiment originally planned to rush to Pingmanna to join the 200th division, and Zhang Chi also took it for granted...... With the British army on the right flank already retreating, the Battle of Pyongmana was no longer possible, and the Nationalist troops in Pyongmana should have entered the stage of gradually retreating layer by layer.
But later Zhang Chi learned that this was not the case, and this was ...... It is precisely where Du Yuming and the staff committee have strategic differences.
That's all for later.
At this time, Zhang Chi was sitting on the ground paved with soft bamboo branches, enjoying the canned beef of the British...... Since the Engineer Regiment entered Chokpadang to work with the British army, one of the benefits was that the food supply was provided by the British army, and the British army provided food such as canned beef and compressed biscuits.
Of course, there are also compressed biscuits from the Japanese army...... The engineer regiment captured several Japanese supply trucks on the road, and many of them were compressed biscuits.
These things may be commonplace for British soldiers or Japanese soldiers, but for Chinese soldiers they are a luxury, and many soldiers even hide these things and are reluctant to eat them......
This is actually a little funny, the soldiers who fight the war don't know how long they can live, who is this hidden and left for?
But Zhang Chi can understand the psychology of this part of the warrior very well...... That's all for the hungry, hide some food and feel at ease!
"Why do the Brits and devils bring biscuits to the battlefield?" Xiao Zhejiang munched on the biscuits and said vaguely: "But this thing is really delicious, if only I could eat it every day!" ”
"You don't understand this, do you?" The old squad leader was a veteran and had more knowledge, so he raised the compressed biscuit in his hand and replied: "This thing, first, you can bring a lot of it if it is not heavy; second, there is no need to cook; Third, it will not be wet by rain...... Take it to the battlefield and save a lot of trouble! ”
"Oh!" Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but suddenly realize.
"But why do you like to put this jelly bean in this little Japanese biscuit?" The townsman was stunned with the compressed biscuits of the Japanese army.
"I don't need to ask!" The hooligan replied with a mouthful full of oil while slamming into a can of beef: "Little Japan wants to eat a few pieces of sugar before he dies!" ”
With a "coax", the soldiers all laughed.
Zhang Chi couldn't help but shake his head, as a half-military fan, he knew that the reason why the Japanese army would add this sweet and sour jelly bean to the biscuit was not because of greed, but out of practical considerations.
This is actually a compressed biscuit that is dry and astringent, and it is difficult to swallow in the case of lack of water. This was especially common for the Japanese army, whose army often fought in very harsh conditions, and water shortages were commonplace for the Japanese army. So the Japanese army came up with a way to add sweet and sour jelly beans to the compressed biscuits...... The sour taste of the jelly beans stimulates the salivary glands to produce saliva, making it less difficult to eat compressed biscuits.
Of course, this trick was not used by the British army, on the one hand, their troops generally did not have a shortage of water, and on the other hand, in case of a shortage of water, the British army had a better way, that is, like Scott, chose to surrender.
After eating and drinking, Zhang Chi found a place to take a rolled bamboo branch and lay down on the protruding roots. The breeze blows everywhere in the bamboo forest, and the sunlight is like nothing from the bamboo leaves, which is a good place to rest.
In the chaos, Zhang Chi vaguely heard some noisy noises, and couldn't help but turn his head curiously, but saw hooligans and several soldiers punching and kicking calves with sacks.
The big cow hurriedly ran forward to protect the calf in the sack and shouted, "Brothers, be merciful, be merciful!" My brothers and I are not sensible, and my brothers have a lot of ......."
"Stop!" Zhang Chi immediately sat up and stopped the hooligans and others, when he saw the participants and Xiao Zhejiang and his fellow villagers, he couldn't help but wonder for a while, if the hooligans would beat people for something, it would be normal, but Xiao Zhejiang and his fellow villagers ......
"Platoon commander!" The old squad leader explained in a whisper: "This is an unwritten rule, deal with recruits who are deserters!" ”
"Oh!" Hearing this, Zhang Chi understood that it was aimed at the calf's previous move to escape in the battle at the Bin River Ferry.
This rule, it is unnecessary but necessary, after all, if it is punished by military law, it is not as simple as a fist and kick. At this time, there were many Kuomintang troops, and there were many deserters, and Shangfeng couldn't deal with it at all, so the soldiers in the army used this method to deal with it.
"Okay, okay......" Zhang Chi raised his head at the hooligans and the others, and said, "It's almost enough!" ”
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
……
"Watch your brother!" After persuading the hooligans and others, Zhang Chi said to Da Niu: "Otherwise, it won't be like this next time!" ”
"Yes, yes...... Don't dare next time, don't dare next time! The big cow was busy responding.
Zhang Chi lay back and turned over, and there was a low cry of a calf behind him.
Zhang Chi wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he ignored it.
Zhang Chi knows that the calf has grown up under the protection of the big cow for a long time, which makes him a twin with the big cow, but his personality is relatively cowardly and unassertive.
