Happy New Year, brothers! I wish you all a blessed and prosperous New Year, good health and all the best!

A few minutes later, Zhang Chi walked into the building with a dozen soldiers, and he had to ask some questions while the British were still gone.

Of course, their group of soldiers in straw sandals, tattered clothes and covered in blood attracted the British and Burmese officers and soldiers in the building to look at them sideways, like a group of monsters they had never seen before.

Zhang Chi ignored their eyes, walked straight up to a British lieutenant colonel, saluted and said, "Hello, sir!" ”

The lieutenant colonel, who was directing his subordinates to load luggage on the car, turned his head to the side and glanced at Zhang Chi with some surprise, and then frowned: "Soldier, what can I tell my adjutant that I am busy!" ”

"Oh, really?" Zhang Chi said without giving in: "While we are busy fighting with the Japanese, you are busy sorting out your suitcase?" ”

"You...... Watch your words, soldiers! The lieutenant colonel raised his head and glared at Zhang Chi with an angry face: "We are retreating to the Western Front, and Pingmanna is your Chinese's defense area!" ”

"That's what I'm here for!" Zhang Chi met the lieutenant colonel's gaze and said: "Even if Pingmanna is our defense area, before you leave, at least tell us where the fortifications are, where the warehouses are, how many supplies and ammunition there are, and what preparations you have made to meet the Japanese!" ”

As soon as Zhang Chi said this, the lieutenant colonel's originally high head immediately became half a cut shorter, but he still replied with a fierce face: "I'm sorry, soldier." Since Pingmanna is the defense zone of you Chinese, then all problems should be solved by yourself! ”

Hearing this, Zhang Chi couldn't help but grit his teeth, which was almost telling him that the British had not done anything.

"And what about gasoline and ammunition?" Zhang Chi still didn't give up: "Our vehicles need gasoline, and we don't have much ammunition left!" ”

Zhang Chi didn't dare to talk about tanks, although this matter couldn't be hidden from the British, after all, there were dozens of tanks as big as a thing, but it was a good thing to let the British know about it later.

"I'm so sorry!" The lieutenant colonel spread his hands again: "You know, we don't have much gasoline and ammunition in our hands, we have a large number of mechanized troops, and our army needs gasoline more, doesn't it?" ”

Zhang Chi couldn't help but snort coldly, he almost blurted out that one of their armored units had already fallen into the hands of the expeditionary force. And to say that the British will be without gasoline...... The devil believes!

"Hey! Lieutenant Colonel Aubrey! Just when Zhang Chi and the British lieutenant colonel were at a stalemate, a blonde and blue-eyed fashionably dressed British woman grabbed the camera and walked up and smiled: "Can I take a picture of you?" ”

"Of course, Ms. Page!" Lieutenant Colonel Aubrey, who was still full of anger just now, immediately smiled, he straightened his military uniform, stood beside Zhang Chi in a graceful manner, took a majestic pose, and asked, "Will you publish this picture in the newspaper?" How are you going to name it? ”

"Of course!" Paige held up the camera and replied, "With ...... How about generals and soldiers? I think there will be many people who will wonder how the officers of our British Empire command the Chinese people to fight! ”

"It's the funniest joke I've ever heard!" Zhang Chi couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's better to ...... How about naming it after warriors and deserters? ”

Page, who had just pressed the shutter, couldn't help but be stunned, and then looked at Lieutenant Colonel Aubrey in some surprise.

Aubrey said in an aggravated tone, "I told you, soldier, that we are shifting the front!" ”

"Say whatever you want!" Zhang Chi really couldn't stand the hypocrisy of the British, and at the same time he knew that it was impossible to get anything from the British, so he turned around and walked towards the door with his subordinates, waving his hand backwards as he walked, and said disdainfully: "Ms. Page, please use your camera to witness the British ** team attacking in the other direction, and it is best not to let go of every detail!" ”

"Wait......" Page still wanted to catch up with Zhang Chi, but Zhang Chi had disappeared out of the door without looking back.

"Fucking British!" When stepping on the armored car, Zhang Chi couldn't help but scold.

Although the soldiers couldn't understand English, they knew what was going on from their movements and expressions, and they didn't dare to ask more questions when they saw Zhang Chi's ugly face.

"Platoon commander, what now?" After a long time, the townsman asked.

After thinking about it, Zhang Chi replied: "Go west a few times!" ”

"Yes!" In response, the poor student started the armored car and drove forward.

The soldiers didn't speak along the way, they all thought that Zhang Chi was in a bad mood and went for a ride in the car, but only Zhang Chi himself knew that his drive also had a purpose.

Zhang Chi knows one thing: the most important thing to fight a war is gasoline and ammunition, especially the sapper regiment.

This does not need to be explained, the first regiment of engineers at this time was equipped with a large number of armored vehicles, tanks, automobiles...... These require a lot of gasoline to move, otherwise it's just a pile of scrap metal.

On the other hand, the rifles of the 1st Engineer Regiment were still the Enfields of the British army, and the ammunition they had brought from Tonggu had been almost depleted in the previous battles...... This is the side effect of the Enfield rifle, as Coach Huang said, a fast rate of fire means a large consumption, and a base amount of ammunition for the Enfield rifle is a matter of a few minutes.

So there will be a big problem with the supply of the first regiment of engineers: in terms of gasoline, it is good to say, the gasoline of ** is also gasoline, but the ammunition has to be the ammunition of the British.

But now the British are putting on a posture of not giving anything, and the most infuriating thing is that Zhang Chi clearly knows that these strategic materials such as gasoline and ammunition are not brought to India by the British in the end, and they are all lost to the Japanese on the way to escape.

If there is one sentence to describe the British practice, it is "Rather with the jackal than with the friend!" ”。

Sometimes Zhang Chi also can't figure out that there is a British approach, if the Chinese defeat the Japanese, it will also be good for the British, right? Why would they prefer to leave strategic supplies to the Japanese rather than to the Chinese, who are allies?

But if he couldn't figure it out, he couldn't figure it out, and Zhang Chi couldn't force the British to hand over the gasoline and ammunition, so he had to find it himself.

As for how to find it...... If the British had a warehouse in Pingmanna, they should be rushing to the western front to transport supplies, Zhang Chi made up his mind, whether it was to use the pit to deceive or turn his face, he had to leave this material behind, otherwise the future battle would not be able to fight!

It is precisely because of this that Zhang Chi will specify the direction to the west.
