"How many tanks do you have?" Zhang Chi asked.

"It doesn't seem to have anything to do with you!" Burke replied, "All you need to know is to carry out the order!" ”

Zhang Chi couldn't help but feel funny, this second lieutenant Burke seemed to have been in Burma for a long time, and he was used to calling the Burmese from above, and now he was naturally facing it like this Chinese...... I can't figure out which green onion I am.

"Sir!" Zhang Chi replied: "If you don't tell how many tanks there are...... We won't know exactly whether the last one to pass is your tank or the Japanese, so we won't be able to blow up the bridge in time. So unfortunately, if the commander does not cooperate with us, we will have to blow up the bridge at five o'clock, as originally ordered! ”

"You ......" Second Lieutenant Burke obviously didn't expect Zhang Chi to dare to answer like this, and after a moment of stunnedness, he realized that these were the squadron in front of him, and they had no obligation and need to obey their orders at all, so if they really wanted to blow up the bridge at five o'clock, they really couldn't help it.

On the other hand, Second Lieutenant Burke felt that the Chinese ** man was right, if the battle became tense, it was indeed necessary to detonate the last tank when it crossed the iron bridge.

So Second Lieutenant Burke nodded, touched his chin and thought about it, and said, "There are more than fifty tanks and forty armored vehicles, and seventy cars full of ammunition and supplies. ”

"Hmm!" Zhang Chi pretended to be calm and nodded.

In fact, he had been taken aback by the Englishman's figures...... Damn, the Kuomintang Fifth Army claims to be the only mechanized force, and there are only about 80 tanks, and more than half of these tanks have been damaged in battle so far, and there are only more than 20 tanks that can still drive to Burma, and only three tanks that can drive to Tonggu. The British are good, there are more than 50 tanks in one armored regiment, and there are also a large number of armored vehicles and cars full of supplies...... This is a treasure that cannot be exchanged for the ancient defenders who lack equipment!

Thinking of this, Zhang Chi secretly made up his mind, no matter what, he had to pull a few hairs from this armored regiment, even if he could only pull out three tanks, it could double the number of tanks in Tonggu, and the Yankees' tanks were much more advanced than the T26.

But...... How can I pluck a few hairs down?!

Do you want it from the British?

Zhang Chi quickly overturned this idea, China was a weak country at this time, and the Western powers did not take China seriously at all, and it was precisely because of this ...... Just now those British deserters laughed at the Chinese who stayed behind to fight.

So, asking the British for equipment in this situation will only provoke a wave of ridicule.

It is also a historical fact that the British would rather leave the equipment to the Japanese than give it to the Chinese.

Is that a robbery?

This is even worse, not to mention that one of his platoons is not the opponent of the British armored regiment at all, China and Britain are still allies at this time, Zhang Chi doesn't want to die.

Second Lieutenant Burke thought that Zhang Chi was embarrassed by the original order, so he handed a cigarette and said, "Brother, don't worry. You have our British side at top to coordinate and make sure that you will not be blamed. Not only that, but you may even be rewarded for your courage in helping out! You know, if our armored regiments don't get through, then they will fall into the hands of the Japanese......"

"Hmm!" Hearing this, Zhang Chi suddenly had an idea, and he no longer hesitated to respond: "No problem, blow up the bridge at six o'clock!" ”

"Thank you!" Second Lieutenant Burke happily patted Zhang Chi's shoulder: "Then it's decided, I will leave two signal corps and a radio station to keep in touch, and I will report your behavior to the Chinese side!" ”

After Burke left, Zhang Chi beckoned a few squad leaders to the front.

"Blow up the bridge at six o'clock in the evening, the British have an armored regiment that hasn't come yet!" Zhang Chi said bluntly.

"Hmm!" The three squad leaders looked at Zhang Chi in a daze, they all knew that Zhang Chi would not summon them just to say this sentence.

Sure enough, I saw Zhang Chi scolding: "Damn, this British armored regiment has more than 50 tanks and a large number of armored vehicles and cars!" ”

"Wow!" Suddenly, the three squad leaders couldn't help but scream.

You must know that they are all soldiers of the mechanized army, so it is clear that at this time, there are only twenty or thirty tanks in our country that can be used, and at this time, more than 50 tanks will come at once.

"These tanks ...... Where are you going? The fellow villager asked suspiciously: "Are you going to fight the Japanese?" ”

"!" The hooligan scolded: "To fight the Japanese is to go south, and to go north is to escape!" ”

"What? So many tanks escaped ?! Then this ......" The countryman's face was full of pity and sadness.

"Let's look at the point!" The ninth squad leader took out the cigarette stick from his waist, skillfully stuffed the tobacco and lit it, took two puffs of the horn, and said: "This Brit is very good, they are letting us be in front, they save their strength and withdraw the troops to the rear!" ”

The nine squad leaders are all over 50 years old, because he is old and has been a squad leader for many years, so the soldiers call him the old squad leader, it is said that the old squad leader participated in the Northern Expedition War back then, and it can be said that he is an experienced veteran.

From this, we can also know what kind of unit this 200 division is, and even a veteran like the ninth squad leader can only be a squad leader...... It's no wonder that the hooligans are angry about Zhang Chi's promotion to platoon commander so quickly.

This time, several squad leaders scolded on the spot:

"This shitty British, what is an alliance! There are so many good equipment to use us as a shield! ”

"What else do you say that the British are equipped with advanced equipment, and advanced is used for fart!"

……

This is exactly what Zhang Chi wants to see, he needs to mobilize the hatred of these squad leaders for the British and the pain of the equipment slipping away from his eyes, and only in this way can he be able to set a trap for the British with them and pull a few hairs from the armored regiment.

"Alas!" Zhang Chi sighed, adding another fire to this atmosphere: "It doesn't matter if we are a shield in front, it's hateful that we are short of tanks and ammunition, but the British are still transporting tanks and ammunition to the rear!" ”

"That's it!" Although the hooligan was not satisfied with Zhang Chi, the platoon commander, he couldn't wave his fist angrily at this time: "No, you can't let the British go like this." Platoon commander, you go and tell the British, let them keep a few tanks down, otherwise we won't let them pass! ”

"That's right! Let's just say we want to blow up the bridge! See if they agree......" The fellow villagers also agreed.

"What do you guys come up with?" The old squad leader shook it with a cigarette stick: "If Shangfeng knows about this, it will be a big crime to destroy the Sino-British alliance, do you want to have a head?" ”

The hooligans and fellow villagers were silent when they heard this, and the old squad leader was right, even if the British were now threatened by the bombing of the bridge and were willing to leave a few tanks, wouldn't they go to the peak to file a complaint? Maybe it will have a very bad international impact!

Zhang Chi saw that the time had come, and saw that there was no one around, so he lowered his voice and said, "We can't rob it, but what if the Japanese devil robs it?" ”

"Jap?" Several squad leaders couldn't help but look at Zhang Chi in a daze.
