In the end, Zhang Chi still told Slim about the plan, after all, this is interspersed with Ringanqiang, and the engineer regiment needs to get in touch with the British troops trapped in Ringanqiang.

Zhang Chi always remembered the look of surprise on Slim's face when he heard about this plan...... This plan was unimaginable for the British, who would be virtually unable to fight as long as they left the road, and even worse if they went into the jungle, and even British officers could be killed by Burmese soldiers who hated them.

"What do you need?" Slim was stunned for a moment and then said, "I'll try to satisfy you!" ”

"We need a radio station that can connect with the British army in Ringanqiang!" Zhang Chi said: "We also need a few radio soldiers and people who can prove that we are going to rescue Ren'anqiang!" ”

The radio soldiers were needed because Zhang Chi was worried that the radio soldiers of the engineering regiment would not be able to operate the radio station of the British, and even if they could, they would not be able to decode the messages of the British.

As for another witness, it was for fear of unnecessary misunderstandings between the British army and the engineer regiment...... After all, the Engineer Regiment was disguised as the Burmese Volunteers, and Zhang Chi didn't want the British army in Ren'anqiang to treat them as enemies.

After thinking about it, Zhang Chi said again: "It's best, you can also give us some clothes and headscarves for the Burmese people!" ”

Originally, Zhang Chi also wanted Slim to assign a few Burmese soldiers, after all, they had advantages in language and geography, but in the end Zhang Chi gave up...... If these Burmese soldiers have their hearts set on the Burmese Independence Volunteers, or if they themselves are, they will be led astray and into greater danger.

So Zhang Chi chose to do it himself, after all, this is Chok Padang, a small Burmese town, and it is not difficult to find out a path to Ringanqiang from the people in his Burmese language, and even for safety, Zhang Chi also thought about it and chose to ask overseas Chinese.

"No problem!" Slim agreed without thinking about it: "I will deliver the clothes and headscarf to you in half an hour, and you can bring the radio and radio soldiers now, and prove it...... Andy, you and Scott are friends, you go most convincingly! ”

"What?" Andy couldn't help but be stunned: "But the general ......"

"No, but! That's an order! Slim interrupted.

"Yes! Checkmate! Andy reluctantly stepped forward.

"It's a pleasure to work with you again!" Zhang Chi walked up to Andy and stretched out his hand, with a thief's smile on his face.

Andy didn't want to pay attention to Zhang Chi's schadenfreude, but under Slim's eyes, he had to stretch out his hand and gritted his teeth and replied, "I'm happy too, second lieutenant!" ”

Andy's tone was deliberately accentuated when he said the word "ensign".

Zhang Chi couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't expect Andy to emphasize in front of him at this time, the British ** title that doesn't work at all for the Chinese ** people.

"Okay!" Since Andy is so uninteresting, Zhang Chi is not polite, Zhang Chi said to Andy with a commanding tone: "Colonel Andy, your task is to manage the radio station and the radio soldiers, ensure that the radio station can work normally, and ensure that the radio soldiers and yourself do not fall behind or become deserters, can you do it?" ”

"What......" Andy looked at Zhang Chi with an incredulous expression, a second lieutenant, and a Chinese second lieutenant, how dare to speak in such a tone to a colonel of the British Empire.

Zhang Chi ignored Andy's expression, turned his head and asked Slim, "Do you agree with this decision?" Checkmate?! ”

"Of course!" Slim wanted to answer.

Although Slim did not want the soldiers of the British Empire to be insulted in this way, it was time to focus on the big picture.

"Can it be done? Colonel Andy! Zhang Chi turned around and continued to ask.

Andy gritted his teeth and squeezed a word out of his teeth: "Yes!" ”

"I didn't hear it!"

"Yes, Ensign!" Andy replied, "I can do it!" ”

"Good!" Zhang Chi was very satisfied with this answer, and then he ignored Andy, who was full of anger, and dropped a sentence as he walked out of the door: "Colonel Andy, you are limited to report to the regiment headquarters with the radio within ten minutes!" By the way, your uniform has also been changed, and I don't want to expose the whole army because of you! ”

"God, let the Japanese kill me!" Zhang Chi heard Andy's wail behind him.

Two hours later the Corps of Engineers set out, and they took advantage of the dusk to walk a few miles downstream along the Bin River, lurking in the jungle for a short rest, until it was dark before they began to cross the river under the guidance of their guides.

As Zhang Chi had guessed before, the Japanese interspersed troops were not tightly encircled by Ren'anqiang due to the lack of troops, and there was no shadow of the Japanese army in this area.

"Ensign!" After crossing the river, Andy caught up breathlessly: "We have to speed up, the soldiers of Ren'anqiang can't hold on anymore!" ”

"Why can't they hold on?" Zhang Chi asked with some doubts: "Is there a Japanese army attacking them?" ”

"No, no......" Andy replied, "It's because there is no food and water, and if we don't arrive again, Scott will choose to surrender!" ”

Zhang Chi was a little thundered, and he was ready to surrender because he was hungry? It's only the third day.

However, it seems not surprising that Zhang Chi knows the cultural background of Western soldiers, and in the case of being unable to defeat and unable to escape, surrender is allowed, and even making senseless sacrifices without surrender will be regarded as an "unreasonable" and "stupid" behavior.

But who can define what constitutes "invincible" and "inescapable"? Now, for example, Ringanqiang has every chance to escape, every chance to defeat the Japanese army in Binhe, but they are doing nothing, and that value is just an excuse for their timidity.

"You tell them!" Zhang Chi said: "Let them hold out for another night, if we haven't arrived before dawn, then they can choose to surrender!" ”

"Yes!" Andy answered, but then found that he was used to obeying Zhang Chi's orders, and couldn't help but curse "damn it" in his heart.

To disguise this, Andy picked up again: "Yes, second lieutenant, I will relay your suggestion to General Scott!" ”

"Colonel Andy!" Zhang Chi replied dissatisfiedly: "You know very well that we are now disguised as the Burmese Independence Volunteers, and English is generally not present in the Burmese Independence Volunteers. So, you can try to say as little unnecessary nonsense as possible, unless you want to expose your entire force to the enemy! ”

"Yes!" Andy replied helplessly.

Although he didn't want to be called by Zhang Chi like this, he also knew that what Zhang Chi said was right, if there were Japanese soldiers or Burmese sentries hiding in the shadows, hearing the sound of English conversation would easily expose the entire army.

Even if it was to rescue the British army in Ringanqiang, and at the same time to keep himself from being in danger, Andy could only comfort himself like this.
