Zhang Chi was not thinking about "the fate of the Chinese army," as Abner put it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Because Zhang Chi knows that the Chinese army is not so easy to finish, even if the North African battlefield is over, the Chinese army will not be finished...... How could the Yankees be willing to let such a good army and the Japanese finish the game before they finished fighting? So in any case, the United States will pick up the Chinese army at the last moment.

But Zhang Chi felt that it was really not good to go on like this!

Why did you bring the Chinese troops to this place where birds don't? Isn't it just to change the tide of the war in North Africa? What if the war situation is allowed to develop like this now, and then it is really out of control, and even allows Germany to control the shipping lanes and oil in Africa, thus completely changing the world pattern? !

Thinking of this, Zhang Chi nodded and said, "Okay, but I have one condition!" ”

"On what terms?" Hearing this, Abner couldn't help but be overjoyed: "As long as I can do anything, anything can be done!" ”

"Tell that Montgomery not to give me any more orders!" Zhang Chi said.

"This ......," Abner couldn't help but be embarrassed.

"It's not a personal vendetta!" Zhang Chi said: "If General Montgomery does not understand the situation and points fingers at us, then nine times out of ten we will also be sent to death!" So, unless I agree to my terms, I won't go to reinforce Maherama! ”

It should be said that Zhang Chi is also a commander who does not like to be bound by rules and traditions, so he is somewhat incompatible with Montgomery's typical step-by-step commander, and if Montgomery commands it, it can only be a tragedy in the end.

Abner nodded in understanding, and even he thought Zhang Chi was right.

As a result, Zhang Chi's request soon reached Montgomery's command.

Montgomery, who looked at the intelligence, couldn't help but be furious.

"Fuck the conditions!" Montgomery threw the telegram aside without thinking: "Tell that arrogant Chinese that he is a soldier, there is no condition to speak, he must obey my orders!" ”

In a way, Montgomery's words are true, and obedience to orders is the duty of a soldier...... Moreover, if Zhang Chi can negotiate conditions with Montgomery, does that mean that other troops can also negotiate conditions with Montgomery?

But Montgomery didn't think about it...... The identity of the Chinese army is only an allied army, and it does not belong to the British army at all, which is very different from the British colonial army such as the Australian army, the New Zealand army, the South African army, etc.

At the same time, there is also a saying on the battlefield that "foreign military orders will not be granted", a wise commander should give enough freedom and command to the commander who is fighting abroad, so Zhang Chi's request is not excessive, but Montgomery pays too much attention to the form of hierarchy and does not pay attention to the essence of war.

"General!" Ramsden stopped the messenger who was about to send a telegram and persuaded Montgomery: "It doesn't seem that there is a big difference between agreeing to this condition and not agreeing, does it?" ”

Montgomery was right when he thought about it, in his heart, sending Chinese troops up was just "a dead horse as a live horse doctor", in other words, most of the Chinese troops were going to be defeated by the German army this time.

And in the desert terrain, the result of an infantry being routed by an armored division is terrifying...... They either surrendered, were killed, or died of thirst in the desert, because it was almost impossible for them to escape the pursuit of the enemy's mechanized forces.

If so, what does it matter if you agree to this condition?

"Okay!" Montgomery nodded: "Tell that major general that I will not interfere with his command, and not only that, but I will also provide him with the necessary air reinforcements!" ”

Of course, this is not Montgomery's sudden enlightenment, but what he said soundly...... The necessary air reinforcements were provided, but the fact was that even if the Chinese army did not reinforce the Maherama, these air forces would have been sent in that direction to try to stop the advance of the German tanks.

Zhang Chi couldn't help but smile when he saw the callback, because before that, there were already batches of British troops flying to Mahairama overhead...... At this time, Zhang Chi knew that these fighters were all reinforcements.

Zhang Chi didn't dare to slack off, and ordered in the walkie-talkie: "Forcibly march, target Maherama!" ”

"Yes! Run forward! ”

"Run forward!"

……

In a few moments, the whole army was running on the yellow sand, which could not help but leave Abner dumbfounded...... You must know that this is a desert, a desert with an extreme shortage of water and extremely high temperatures, how can you stand it in such a hurry?!

Of course, Zhang Chi also knows this, people's bodies have a certain limit, and the expeditionary force can indeed endure hardships and have strong combat effectiveness, but this does not mean that they are all supermen who can ignore objective laws.

However, Zhang Chi can't help it.

Because the current situation is such that it is necessary to reinforce Maherama, and on this premise, as long as it is one step behind the German army...... The expeditionary force would be in danger of total annihilation.

In other words, time is life now, the life of the entire army, Zhang Chi has no other choice but to do so.

On the march, another scene struck Africans such as Abner and even Disoya......

The warriors who were advancing in the desert were running and running, and suddenly someone fell headlong to the ground...... It was due to lack of water and heat stroke.

If this happened in the British or other countries, there would have been people shouting and surrounding, and even the soldiers would have strongly asked to rest or slow down the march, and then the whole team would have stopped because of it.

But this is not the case with the Chinese army...... This seemed to be a common occurrence for them, and the speed of the troops' march was not affected in the slightest, except that a few hygienists came out of the ranks to administer some necessary first aid to the soldiers who had fainted by mistake, and then spread out a stretcher and carried them on the march with the troops.

"God!" Abner, who was in the jeep, said to a few British soldiers sitting next to him, "Did you see that? How do they do it? ”

"Yes, sir!" The British soldiers replied:

"This is so inhumane!"

"They don't seem to have feelings!"

……

"No, sir!" Di Soya replied in stiff English: "They are real soldiers, look around, this is an army, a qualified and admirable army!" ”

Abner and the other Englishmen couldn't help but blush with embarrassment when they heard Di Soya's words, although Di Soya's English was not very accurate, but everyone could hear the meaning of Di Soya's words...... The armies of North Africa, including the British, were not a qualified army that could even be called armies.
