"Sir!" Zhang Chi heard the British officer who stopped in front of him shouting, "Are you from the first regiment of Chinese engineers?" We are from the 2nd Regiment of the Anglo-Indian 17th Division! You're safe! ”

Zhang Chi almost laughed, "You are safe" The words "You are safe" are so humorous from the mouth of the British army that is about to collapse.

"Colonel Andy!" Zhang Chi shouted at a jeep more than ten meters behind him: "We have arrived, and in front are the troops of the Anglo-Indian 17th Division!" ”

"Really?" Andy jumped out of the jeep in horror and trotted up all the way without even closing the door.

"Major Smith!" Andy quickly recognized the British officers in front of him and was sure that they had reached their destination.

The next second, Andy yelled behind him: "Hey, guys, we did it, we made it through!" ”

“Yeah！” Zhang Chi heard the cheers of the British, and then this cheer quickly spread to the entire convoy from front to back.

So the whole road was boiling, and everywhere British soldiers jumped out of their cars and cheered, hugged, and jumped, and many even threw their steel helmets high into the air in excitement.

Of course, these British soldiers did not forget who saved them, and when they passed by the ranks of the engineer regiment, they all rushed to hug and shake hands with the Chinese soldiers, and although they knew that the Chinese soldiers could not understand English, they still kept saying words of thanks and praise:

"Thank you, my friend!"

"You saved our lives!"

"You're good!"

……

Reporters from all over the world also took advantage of this time to gather around and compete to capture these touching scenes, so the British soldiers excitedly posed in various poses to take photos with the Chinese soldiers.

"Thank you!" Page finally found Zhang Chi sitting in the armored car with a cigarette in her mouth in the crowd, and she kept pressing the shutter towards Zhang Chi while saying, "Where are you going next?" I don't think you're going to attack in the other direction with the British, are you?! ”

"Of course!" Zhang Chi replied.

"Can we meet again?" Page asked.

"Maybe!" Zhang Chi said.

"Is there anything I can do for you?" Page asked, "Anything I can do...... To show my gratitude to you! ”

Zhang Chi looked at the camera in Page's hand, and then at the flashing flashes around him, and replied: "If you can write this battle objectively, then you are helping me!" ”

"Of course!" Page readily agreed.

Of course, Zhang Chi didn't want to be famous, nor did he want the engineering regiment to be famous.

He had no interest in any of that...... How can a person who could die on the battlefield at any time be interested in being famous?!

Zhang Chi's intention is to let the world know how sinister the British had on the battlefield in Burma through the reporter's pen, so as to indirectly exert some pressure on the British government...... If it continues to do so, Britain will be reprimanded internationally and even by its own citizens.

But at the same time, Zhang Chi also knew that this could play a very small role, and the British side could easily use its power to control the media's public opinion orientation...... Freedom of speech is completely nonsense, especially in wartime, especially when Britain is being blockaded and bombed by Germany from the sea, the British government will not care about freedom of speech, they will say that it is national security, it is national security that will affect the morale of the military and the people.

Secondly, in the face of national interests, even if there is some pressure from the outside world, it will seem so insignificant.

In fact, just as Zhang Chi thought, Page ultimately failed to truthfully or fundamentally explain why the Battle of Ringanqiang existed, not only because of Page, but also because journalists from other countries failed to expose London's dark psychology of using and deceiving its allies strategically and tactically.

Of course, the reporters who survived the disaster were also praising their life-savers. All of a sudden, the headlines of the world's major newspapers, such as The Times and the New York Times, were full of Chinese soldiers, and the British reporter even said: "This is Chinese the first respectable victory won by the Chinese, British, and Japanese forces at the same time and on the same battlefield in nearly 100 years!" ”

However, these superficial praises did not do much, and if they did, it was that the victory also inspired the millions of troops in China who were fighting the Japanese army and the hundreds of millions of people who were suffering from the war.

Seeing that the British army's cars had almost diverted from the engineer regiment, Zhang Chi threw the cigarette butt to the ground and said to Paige: "Goodbye, ma'am, we are going after the Japanese!" ”

Zhang Chi's words soon attracted cheers from reporters and British soldiers, and even many British soldiers shouted at Zhang Chi and others: "Good, Chinese, kick the Japanese in the ass!" ”

"Drive the Japanese out of Burma!"

……

Zhang Chi smiled and waved goodbye to the British soldiers and reporters.

In a way, these British soldiers are still very cute, they are also victims of the decision-makers in London, and they are also forced to helpless...... What's even more endearing is that these British soldiers didn't even realize that Zhang Chi and the other Chinese soldiers were driving away the tanks, armored vehicles and cars that were supposed to be returned to the British army right under their noses, and they were even cheering behind them......

I am not embarrassed at all...... This is not only because the engineer regiment deserves a little interest for saving the lives of the British, but also because he knows that this batch of equipment will eventually fall into the hands of the Japanese.

As for how it ended up in the hands of the Japanese...... This is a bit strange to say: the British had to cross a river before withdrawing to India, and the British were afraid that the Japanese would catch up during the time they built the pontoon bridge, so they left all the tanks and armored vehicles without saying a word, and they did not even have the courage to blow up the equipment. Perhaps, they hoped to drop these tanks to the Japanese, and the Japanese would not come after them!

It was later discovered that the people who were chasing them and shooting at them were not Japanese at all, but the Burmese Independence Volunteers hiding in the village, and the number was no more than 200 people. These Burmese independence volunteers did not expect that hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles would be captured with such an easy shot. And these tanks and armored vehicles, of course, were handed over to the Japanese.

Zhang Chi didn't want this to happen again, so he had only one choice, which was to grab the tank before the British army threw it away.

"Stop, come back!" Scott chased after him and shouted, "Where are you going?" That's our tank! You can't take them away! ”

But no one paid attention to him...... This is not to blame on the soldiers of the Engineer Regiment, who did not understand English at all, and certainly did not know what Scott was shouting.
