The "signal" that Wu Min refers to refers to is the direction of assembly indicated by Zhang Chi and others to the tank troops who broke out of the battlefield. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

This method of direction, naturally, is like what De Soyah said, digging a gap in the inverted gasoline barrel and lighting a torch in it, so that only a certain direction can see the fire.

Not to mention, it's really practical in the desert, it's convenient, cost-free, and almost dangerous...... Since it was only visible from a certain direction, it was difficult for the Germans to spot, and Zhang Chi commanded the anti-tank troops to lay in ambush at a nearby position around the torches...... If it is the Germans who come up, they will just set up an ambush, and if it is their own people who come up, they will cover for it.

After a while, there was a "rumbling" motor sound in the darkness, and two half-track armored vehicles cautiously stepped forward to reconnoitre, and then Zhang Chi received a report: "Deputy military seat, it's our troops, Wu Tuanzuo and they are back!" ”

"Good!" Zhang Chi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then asked: "How many tanks are back?" What about casualties? ”

"Vice-Commander!" After a while, Wu Min's voice came from the walkie-talkie: "We still have sixty-one tanks, and the specific casualties have not yet had time to be counted!" ”

"Hmm!" Zhang Chi responded.

Originally, there were eighty-two tanks, and now only sixty have returned, which means the loss of twenty-one...... This was also a big loss for the expeditionary force.

Zhang Chi regretted not those tanks, but those soldiers of the expeditionary force, for the expeditionary force, people are always the most scarce resource.

However, at this time, it is not out of danger, in case the German reinforcements or tank troops follow up, I am afraid that it will not be so easy to get rid of, so Zhang Chi did not think much about it, and ordered: "All of them, go back to Maherama!" ”

"Yes, go back to Maherama!"

……

"General!" On the way back, Desoya caught up with the flaccid half-track armored car and said, "Can I say a few words to you?" ”

"Of course!" Zhang Chi replied, and at the same time felt a little strange, what can't he wait until he returns to the camp?

I saw Di Soya bow to Zhang Chi with his hands together, and said, "General, I want to borrow your witch doctor......

Zhang Chi couldn't help but be stunned, and then laughed.

"I'm sorry, De Soya!" Zhang Chi replied, "I can't lend you the witch doctor, because we don't have a witch doctor at all!" ”

"No witch doctors?" Di Soya couldn't believe what Zhang Chi said, and said: "This is impossible, if there is no witch doctor, how can your tanks survive so many German tanks in a mess with so many German tanks?" This must be some kind of very clever witchcraft! ”

Zhang Chi didn't know how to explain to Di Soya, so he had to ask rhetorically, "So, have you seen us perform any witchcraft or rituals?" ”

De Soya was asked, because he had been with the expeditionary force all this time, almost inseparable, and they really didn't see any props or rituals used by the expeditionary force.

Zhang Chi had no intention of convincing Di Soya, because Zhang Chi knew that such aspects of witchcraft could already be called a belief for Africans.

Regardless of whether the belief is good or bad or scientific, if it is found that what has been believed since birth is false and unreliable...... That would be painful, just as many intellectuals in China blame Chinese culture for China's fragility.

But in fact, even if Zhang Chi didn't say it, Di Soya had already begun to think about this problem, after all, the facts were in front of him, and these facts could not be explained by witchcraft.

When Zhang Chi returned to Maherama with his troops, Jon and Abner, who had stayed behind, were stunned as they watched the expeditionary force suffer almost no losses......

"General!" Jon said to Zhang Chi, who got out of the car, "I thought you guys were fighting a fierce battle!" ”

"It's really intense!" Zhang Chi didn't understand Jon's words.

"Intense? But you have only lost twenty tanks, and there is almost no shortage of armored vehicles and cars! ”

"Does Britain calculate the intensity in terms of how much it loses?" Zhang Chi asked rhetorically.

"No, no......" Jon replied, "I mean ......"

Jon didn't know how to explain, according to his understanding, fighting with the German army, especially a German armored division, should lose dozens of tanks or armored vehicles, in fact, Jon even thought that this expeditionary force would not be able to come back if it went out, but in fact it was the opposite, the expeditionary force not only came back, but its casualties were not large.

Jon thought that the expeditionary force might just be out there and come back.

Abner, on the other hand, was more shrewd, and when he heard the sound of gunfire in the darkness outside, he couldn't help asking, "General, since you're back...... Who's fighting outside? ”

"O Germans!" Zhang Chi replied.

"I mean...... Who are the Germans fighting against? ”

"Germans!" Zhang Chi replied, looking at the puzzlement on Abner's face, Zhang Chi explained again: "You heard it right, the Germans are fighting against the Germans!" ”

"General, do you mean to ......" Abner looked at Zhang Chi incredulously and asked with difficulty, "You let the Germans fight with your own troops?" ”

"Yes!" Zhang Chi replied.

Looking at the stunned Jon and Abner, Zhang Chi asked again, "Is it strange?" ”

"Uh...... So generals! Jon swallowed his saliva and asked, "Do you think ...... How many tanks did the enemy destroy in this battle? ”

"It's not very clear!" Zhang Chi thought for a while and replied: "There are more than 70 vehicles that have been determined, and then they will be slaughtered, and how much they can destroy depends on the Germans themselves......"

Jon couldn't help but be so surprised that his jaw almost dropped, not to mention the Germans' own accidental injuries, just more than 70 vehicles that have been determined are already a big victory, you must know that the German armored division once only lost more than ten tanks and destroyed more than 80 tanks of the British army, but now it is completely reversed.

To be exact, if what Zhang Chi said was true, the result would be even greater than the miracle created by Rommel.

Montgomery just smiled after hearing this information, and then threw the information aside, and said in a disdainful tone: "I heard that Chinese like to lie, it seems that this is indeed true!" ”

"General!" Ramsden carefully verified every piece of information and marked the battle positions of the Chinese and German troops on the map, and replied with a solemn expression: "This may be true, because he is completely consistent with the intelligence!" ”

"No, it can't be!" Montgomery said: "It's ridiculous, the Chinese army ...... Destroy the Germans more than seventy tanks at the cost of twenty tanks? There is no doubt that it is a scam of the Chinese! ”
