Chapter 473: Ninety-Three Divisions
This scene was a little inexplicable in Zhang Chi's eyes, because this group of officers and soldiers was obviously from the Sixth Army, how could the people of the Sixth Army rush in at this time and subdue their commander?!
It turned out that when the American officers and men surrounded Rabaul in such a big way and threatened to hand over Zhang Chi from the Sixth Army, the officers and men of the Sixth Army felt that they might have been deceived. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Originally, the officers and men of the Sixth Army were still a little skeptical...... Is this a misunderstanding on the part of the Yankees or an excuse to embarrass the Chinese troops?
But soon someone identified Zhang Chi in Rabaul.
These people are the same soldiers who saw Zhang Chi get off the plane at the airport...... The news in the army spread very quickly, and these soldiers even showed off to their comrades or fellow villagers a few minutes later:
"Know who I saw today? The commander of the new first division is Zhang Chi! ”
"Good fellow, come on such a big plane by yourself...... That's ...... treatment."
"Can you not have that treatment? People have made such great contributions, you have to be unconvinced...... You kill so many devils too! ”
……
As a result, a considerable part of the officers and men of the Sixth Army knew that Zhang Chi was in Rabaul, and many of them were still thinking of finding an opportunity to meet him.
At this time, the Americans were surrounded by warships and tanks and planes, and officers with a little head could easily know what was happening.
Among them was Li Zhen, the commander of the 278th Regiment of the 93rd Division.
As soon as Li Zhen saw this situation, he said to Wu Guoxi, a staff officer: "It's bad, we may have arrested all the people of the New Seventh Army, including Zhang Chi!" ”
"What?" Wu Guoxi asked in surprise: "When will it ......?"
But before he finished speaking, he remembered that not long ago he had received an order to control and detain the officers and soldiers of the New Seventh Army, so he opened his mouth wide and couldn't speak for a long time.
"But ......" then Wu Guoxi asked again: "Why do you want to catch Zhang Chi?" This has made the Americans anxious! ”
"What else?" Li Zhen smiled bitterly: "I said Lao Wu...... You've been in the national army for a short time, haven't you, and you still don't understand the struggle for power and profit? ”
As soon as Li Zhen said this, Wu Guoxi understood.
He nodded slightly and said: "Master Zhang's credit is too great, this merit is high, and he has won the trust of the Yankees, so he will not be welcomed......"
Li Zhen nodded, he had seen this kind of thing a lot.
"What now?" Wu Guoxi frowned and scolded: "Damn, these bitches raised ...... Isn't this a black pot for us?!"
Li Zhen thought about it, if this kind of thing is in China, it is better to take care of it, after all, the arm can't twist the thigh.
But this is abroad, and it is controlled by the Americans...... If the boss does anything unfavorable to Zhang Chi, then the entire army will be put in!
What's more, Li Zhen has long been fed up with that set of officialdom and deceit, since he stepped into the first training camp in the Pacific, Li Zhen has a wish, hoping to fight the devil well and make the Sixth Army or the 93rd Division once again play the prestige of the year.
You must know that although the Sixth Army is a often defeated army, this 93rd Division is a division with rich combat experience...... When the Sixth Army was formed, the 93rd Division was transferred from the Fifth Army and formed with the 93rd Division as the backbone. Although as a member of the national army, his combat effectiveness is not very good, but he is all veterans.
These veterans are still a little bloody, but in that environment, they are a little unlucky, so they ended up in today's field.
(Note: The 93rd Division, the unit that fled to the Golden Triangle after liberation and survived there, is known as the "Asian Orphans")
Thinking of this, Li Zhen lowered his voice and ordered: "Go, take a company of troops, look for it!" ”
Li Zhen had an element of luck, he didn't know where Zhang Chi was being held, but he pondered...... As soon as the Yankees came, those officials would go to Zhang Chi to negotiate conditions, so as long as they followed those officials.
Sure enough, I saw Huo Xianjie hurriedly walking in the direction of a hut with the guards, so Li Zhen pulled the troops and quietly surrounded him...... Then he rushed into the hut with lightning speed.
"Throne!" Li Zhen recognized Wang Mazi, so he saluted Wang Mazi first, and asked Zhang Chi: "Is the commander Zhang Chi, the commander of the new first division?" ”
"Yes!" Zhang Chi nodded.
"Hello sir!" Li Zhen saluted Zhang Chi and said, "Sir, let's go out and have a look...... The Americans are in a hurry to find you, and they are all about to fight! ”
"Oh!" Zhang Chi nodded, glanced at Huo Xianjie, who was gone, and walked out of the room with Wang Mazi.
Walking three steps and two steps to the barracks, as soon as he saw the familiar "Sherman" tank, Zhang Chi shouted in English to the US military on the opposite side: "I'm Zhang Chi, don't shoot!" ”
On the other side, Wang Mazi also hurriedly ordered the Chinese soldiers who were also preparing for defense: "Don't shoot, it's all your own people!" Don't shoot ......"
Seeing Zhang Chi walk out unharmed, Wilson was a little relieved, but he still did not order the US troops to lay down their arms, he shouted at Zhang Chi with a loudspeaker: "Colonel, are you okay?" Come over here......"
Zhang Chi couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, it's all at this time, and Zhang Chi is still among the soldiers of the Sixth Army, if they want to be unfavorable to themselves, no one will have time to stop them.
However, Zhang Chi still walked to the side of the US defense line as he said...... The U.S. military was also clever, and immediately grabbed a team of people to block behind Zhang Chi to do a good job of cover, and "snatched" Zhang Chi back as if he was facing a big enemy.
"I'm sorry, Colonel!" Wilson's first words when facing Zhang Chi were: "It's my dereliction of duty that I failed to protect you!" ”
"Don't say that, Colonel!" Zhang Chi was a little embarrassed: "It's not your fault, no one would have thought that this kind of thing would happen!" ”
Before he could say a few words, Wilson asked the guards to protect Zhang Chi and get into the car, and then drove towards Wilson's headquarters in a puff of smoke.
When he was in the jeep, Zhang Chi couldn't help but sigh with emotion......
Zhang Chi never thought that it was the Chinese he had always wanted to protect that would threaten his life, but it was the Americans who did not hesitate to use an entire fleet to protect himself and ensure his safety.
Of course, Zhang Chi also knows that this is because of his personal relationship with Halsey, and more importantly, his interests...... Americans think it's worth it, that's why they do it.
And President Jiang ...... Why can't he see the stakes? Why can't we see how much Zhang Chi can bring to him and even the whole of China in the future battlefield?
