As soon as he walked out of the warehouse, Zhang Chi found that Pingmanna, who had been peaceful and prosperous not long ago, had completely changed at this time...... The hawkers were gone, and the pedestrians on the street were sparsely populated, replaced by middle-class people walking in a neat formation with loaded guns and ammunition, and the shouts and shouts seemed to indicate that the war was coming soon.

When Zhang Chi and the others looked at the troops passing by, those troops were also looking at Zhang Chi and the others.

Zhang Chi knew what they were looking at, they were looking at the rifle in Zhang Chi's hand, and the armored car under the seat...... ALTHOUGH THE FIFTH ARMY IS THE ONLY MECHANIZED UNIT IN THE FIRST ARMY, THE ARMORED VEHICLES EQUIPPED IN THE ARMY ARE ALL GERMAN-MADE MILLI-WHISKERED ARMORED VEHICLES, WITH A CREW OF ONLY 3 PEOPLE, AND THE ARMOR THICKNESS IS ONLY A PITIFUL 8MM, WHILE THE AMERICAN M2 HALF-TRACK ARMORED VEHICLE RIDDEN BY ZHANG CHI AND OTHERS CAN CARRY 9 PEOPLE, AND THE ARMOR THICKNESS IS 12MM, WHETHER IT IS FIREPOWER, SPEED, DEFENSE, ETC.

Zhang Chi in the car couldn't help but smile bitterly, if they knew that their group was an engineer regiment, they didn't know if they would want to use these equipment for themselves like the captain just now.

At this time, Zhang Chi and the others didn't care about this, and drove the armored car towards the west under the envious eyes of all the officers and soldiers...... Just now they had already heard that the 200th Division had been arranged to Sallido, which was located outside the city, and Zhang Chi and the others, who were members of the 200th Division, were naturally going to find the troops.

As mentioned before, the strategic purpose of the Battle of Pingmanna was to concentrate the main force of the well-equipped Fifth Army on the front line of Pingmanna to eat the Japanese 55th Division that was following the new 22nd Division.

Therefore, the deployment on the front line of Pingmanna was: the front was defended by the 96th Division that had just arrived, and the 200th Division and the new 22nd Division were located in Pingmanna, that is, the east and west flanks of the 96th Division to rest, until the Japanese 55th Division attacked under the city of Pingmanna, the 200th Division and the new 22nd Division launched a flank outflank towards the Japanese 55th Division.

This arrangement is of course reasonable, because in the Fifth Army, the 200th Division and the new 22nd Division have strong combat effectiveness and are suitable for fighting hard battles and encirclement, while the 96th Division, which has relatively weak combat effectiveness, will naturally be placed in Pingmanna to defend the city.

The group drove all the way forward according to the tracks of the tanks on the road...... If there are still tanks in this direction, most of them are M2 and M3 tanks equipped with the engineer regiment.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for them to find the location of the 200th Division, and even easily found a village where the Engineer Regiment was stationing...... Rather than garrisoning, it was more about using the jungle around the village to hide the tanks, which were artifacts used for roundabouts, and it was impossible for Dai Anlan to easily let these things be discovered by Japanese reconnaissance planes and have them send bombers to blow them up.

However, just as Zhang Chi and the others passed by a two-room brick house, they heard a scolding from above: "I fuck his eighteenth generation ancestor of the British, is there such a shameless one?" ”

As soon as I heard the voice, I knew that it was Wang Mazi, the head of the engineering regiment, and the fellow villagers couldn't help but look at each other, they had been with Wang Mazi for so long, and they had never heard him scold people so harshly.

Needless to say, it's certainly not a good thing.

Sure enough, when they drove the armored car in front of their troops along the mountain road that had just been widened, they saw that the demon and the others were all dejected and silent.

"Deputy company commander, what's going on?" Xiao Zhejiang asked.

"You're back?" When the demon saw Zhang Chi and his party, he raised his head and said, "Go eat something and rest!" ”

"We've eaten miles, and we're eating ......" Xiao Zhejiang was just about to say something when a hooligan burst a chestnut on his head and stopped his mouth.

"Deputy company commander, is there anything new?" Zhang Chi stepped forward and handed the demon a cigarette.

"Yo drink, English smoke, good stuff!" The adversary looked at the English on the cigarette shell and was stunned: "Where did you get it?" ”

"The British!" Zhang Chi replied: "There are a few more in the car!" ”

It was something left by the Scottish ensign in the warehouse for Zhang Chi and the others, Zhang Chi originally thought that there was only ammunition, but he didn't expect that there were still a few cigarettes in it.

The Adversary didn't speak, took the cigarette and lit it, took a few puffs, and then took a long puff of smoke.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Chi asked: "Is it because the British don't give ammunition or gasoline?" ”

"His grandmother's!" The Adversary scolded, "If only it were like this! I don't know where the British got the information, and I know that there is an armored regiment with equipment in our hands, which is not ...... It's coming! ”

"Oh!" Hearing this, Zhang Chi understood.

This was actually expected, because dozens of tanks were not a small force, and it was barely possible to deceive the eyes of the Japanese, and it was almost impossible to deceive the eyes of the British.

But this Englishman is really like Wang Mazi scolded: "Is there such a shameless person?" ”。

You know, this is the equipment they threw to the Japanese, we snatched it from the Japanese, and they are going to ask for it now...... What are you going to do? If they wanted to go, it would be forgivable if it was used to fight a war, but if they wanted to go, they eventually lost it to the Japanese and became a murderous weapon in the hands of the Japanese.

"Look at the point, deputy company commander!" Zhang Chi persuaded.

"Look at the opening point? What does this make me think about the opening point? The demon said sullenly: "Those British say they are allies, but they are not personnel, so what is left of our engineer regiment?" Not to mention tanks, not even guns! ”

was said by the devil, Zhang Chi also felt that it was really ...... Hanyangzao was lost when he changed his outfit, and the engineer regiment was all equipped with Enfield, but the British did not provide ammunition at this time, so Enfield became a burning stick, and if the equipment such as tanks and armored vehicles were asked back, the engineer regiment could almost be said to be disarmed.

"Can't we just not give it?" Xiao Zhejiang said indignantly: "What we robbed, why should we give it to us?" ”

"Can you disobey the orders of your superiors?" The devil glared at Xiao Zhejiang fiercely: "Do you think I am willing to give?" Do you think the regiment commander and division commander are willing to give? ”

Then the crowd was silent.

To say this reason, in fact, it is very simple, one is that "peace is precious" among allies, and the other is the "international image" of the Chinese Expeditionary Force.

However, it should be said that at this time, China's high-level understanding of politics is still quite immature, and interests come first between countries, and as for what "international image" is, in the final analysis, it depends on whose fist is hard.

"Wait and see!" Zhang Chi found a place to put the sniper rifle down, sat down and leaned against the trunk of the tree, and said, "Maybe the British will find out in conscience that we don't want to return it!" ”

"Cut!" Zhang Chi's words caused a voice of disdain, and even the soldiers in the third platoon did not believe it.

"Comrade Ding Lun, it's up to you!" Zhang Chi silently read in his heart.
