"First of all!" Zhang Chi said: "The Japanese army never thought that we would kill a horse pistol, plus the performance of the British army before ......"

Speaking of this, Zhang Chi glanced at Scott and continued: "This makes the Japanese army have the heart to underestimate the enemy, and it is very likely that there will be no fortifications at all in the area of the oil field in the south, which is very beneficial to our breakthrough!" ”

Wang Mazi nodded in agreement.

The retreat of the British army did not just begin here, but all the way from Rangoon to here. With such a combat experience, the Japanese army certainly did not waste time building any fortifications...... Who will build fortifications to defend against? Before the fortifications were built, the British troops on the opposite side had already run away.

Of course, the Japanese army could not have imagined that the British army that had fled along the way would kill a horse pistol...... If they knew that there was already a Chinese unit in the British army, it would still be possible.

"Secondly!" Zhang Chi continued: "The battle of Pingmanna has begun, and the battle in the direction of Pingmanna has attracted the attention of the vast majority of the Japanese air force, which allows us to reduce the pressure in the air, and we can use tanks with confidence!" ”

Wang Mazi nodded again.

At the same time that the engineer regiment took the Binhe crossing, the Japanese 55th Division had already reached the foot of Pingmanna, so the Fifth Army fought with the 55th Division again.

Of course, the truth is that the 18th Division of the Japanese Army, which had just arrived from Thailand to fight, was killed under the city of Pingmanna, but the expeditionary force did not know it.

In this way, the limited air power of the Japanese army was thrown into the battle of Pingmanna, as for the western front of the British army...... The Japanese can catch up with the British tanks on bicycles, do they still need to use airplanes?

"Again!" Zhang Chi looked at Scott and said: "If the British put all the tanks and armored vehicles into our hands, and the Japanese armored troops are transferred to the Binhe crossing, then it is certain that the tanks in our hands are far better than the Japanese army in terms of quantity and quality, and the terrain around the Ren'anqiang oil field is relatively open, which is relatively suitable for tank combat!" ”

The more Zhang Chi said, the more confident Wang Mazi became, the Japanese army was defenseless against the enemy, the Japanese army had no air power, and the quality and quantity of the Japanese tanks were far inferior to the engineer regiment...... Then this battle is really worth a fight!

You must know that modern warfare is not useful because of a large number of people, and modern warfare is fought with firepower and equipment. Of course, these equipment also need to be used, if you are afraid of death and cowardice like the British, no matter how good the equipment is for them, it is also a virtue!

Wang Mazi thought that Zhang Chi had finished speaking, but he didn't expect Zhang Chi to continue: "The most important point is that the Japanese army is fighting fires!" ”

"What's the advantage?" Wang Mazi was a little strange.

Even if the Japanese army was defenseless against the expeditionary force for a while, the speed of the Japanese army's reaction was undoubted, and once they knew that there was an enemy situation, they would quickly be ready for battle.

"Fighting fires means that the Japanese army does not dare to open fire at will!" Zhang Chi said with a smile: "Because it is very likely to cause an oil field fire again, but our army can fight with confidence, it is best to add fuel to the fire and let the devil work in vain!" ”

Hearing this, Wang Mazi couldn't help but be stunned, and then laughed and patted Zhang Chi's shoulder: "Boy, you have a hand." Okay, just fight! ”

Scott, on the other hand, was pale, and he was still worried that he would anger the Japanese and would not be able to escape, but he had no other choice.

"General Scott!" Zhang Chi said to Scott almost in a commanding tone: "Now you should give the order to the 7th Armored Brigade, let them hand over the tanks and armored vehicles to us, and then organize your troops to follow us." Or, you can choose to let us fuck off, we'd love to get out of this hellish place, you say? ”

Scott looked at Andy with some annoyance, he couldn't believe that a Chinese soldier would dare to speak to him in such a tone, knowing that he was a major general, a major general of the British Army.

Andy just spread his hands helplessly, he had already learned about this, and now it was just Scott's turn.

"Okay!" Scott replied reluctantly, "I'll consider your suggestion!" ”

"That's not the answer I'm looking for!" Zhang Chi stared at Scott viciously: "You must know that your troops have broken the alliance and fled again and again, leaving the Chinese behind to resist the Japanese attack!" You don't know how much I wish you would choose the second one! Or, if you can't give me a satisfactory answer, we have an excuse to leave! ”

Scott glared at Zhang Chi angrily, he didn't believe that Zhang Chi was so unsparing in speaking, but after thinking about it, he finally nodded: "Okay, I'll do what you say!" ”

"Good!" Zhang Chi nodded with satisfaction.

At this time, he doesn't care what Major General Scott is, now it is a matter of life and death, even if it is in front of the king of heaven.

"The military situation is urgent, Your Excellency General!" In the end, Zhang Chi left a sentence: "You'd better complete these tasks within half an hour!" ”

As he spoke, he walked out of the headquarters with Wang Mazi.

Scott looked at Andy with a look of incredulity, meaning what kind of people you brought with him.

But Colonel Andy spread his hands and said, "I think he's right, General, you'd better do what he says!" ”

As a result, the city of Ringanqiang was soon busy, cars drove out, groups of British and Burmese troops were either boarding the buses or carrying ammunition supplies, and hundreds of missionaries and reporters who were trapped in Ringanqiang as the British troops retreated were also "invited" to the cars one by one. Of course, in order to avoid causing unnecessary disturbance, they were simply told to break out.

Zhang Chi and Wang Mazi are nervously receiving the tanks retreated from the British Seventh Armored Brigade with the soldiers of the Engineer Corps, because they have been trained in driving tanks for a period of time in Tonggu, and they have also operated more than 40 tanks of the same type and have combat experience, so it is not too difficult to receive British tanks now. (Note: Most of the tanks equipped by the British army are M3 Stuart light tanks, which only need 3 or 4 crew members, and the operation and coordination are relatively simple.) ）

The problem is that these 115 tanks seem to be beyond the reach of the engineer regiment...... The engineer regiment simply did not have so many tank crews.

In fact, a battle with the Japanese army is enough for a maximum of 40 tanks, and there is little open land in Burma, even if the direction of the oil field is relatively flat, it can only be used for about 30 tanks to deploy, and more than 10 tanks as reserves.

Therefore, unless the battle is lost and the more than 40 tanks on the battlefield are exhausted, the other tanks are not needed at all.

But of course, these are not said to the British, and Zhang Chi and Wang Mazi are tacitly aware of this point......

This is a tank, this light tank may not be anything to the UK, but it is a treasure in our country, and we will not let it go if we can ask for more or even have the opportunity to order more.

Wang Mazi's solution is to pick out dozens of soldiers in the engineering regiment who can drive, and then let them drive tanks with simple training...... They don't need to be able to fight, they just need to be able to keep up.
