Zhang Chi led the troops all the way into the headquarters of the Anglo-Burmese First Division, Zhang Chi and the others didn't even hold their guns, they just grabbed the guns in their hands, and even lowered their muzzles in order to show that they were not hostile, but even so, they still did not encounter any resistance.
One by one, the British officers and soldiers raised their hands in front of Zhang Chi and the others, their eyes full of fear and helplessness, and they didn't even have time to destroy the message.
"General Scott!" Zhang Chi walked to the center of the hall and shouted around, "Where is General Scott?" ”
"I am!" A tired and untidy British ** man stood up: "Don't shoot, we surrender, I hope you can give our officers the treatment they deserve!" ”
Zhang Chi smiled bitterly, if this falls into the hands of the Japanese, if he can save his life, he will accumulate virtue in his previous life, and he still wants to be treated as an officer!
"I'm sorry, General!" Zhang Chi replied: "I can't accept your surrender!" ”
"Wait......" Scott was anxious when he heard Zhang Chi say this, he thought that Zhang Chi was going to kill the prisoners, so he hurriedly said: "You can't do this, we haven't done anything against your army, and we haven't done anything bad to the Burmese!" ”
Zhang Chi looked at the pitiful and hateful Scott for a while, and without explaining anything, he turned his head back and shouted: "Colonel Andy! ”
Andy walked up with an embarrassed face, he looked at the puzzled Scott and said: "General, they are not Burmese, nor Japanese, they are Chinese, our allies!" ”
"What? Chinese! Scott's expression suddenly looked as ugly as if he had eaten a cockroach.
"What the fuck!" After being stunned for a moment, Scott exclaimed in annoyance, "How can you do this? You didn't even report it! And...... If you are an ally, why did you still arrest my subordinates? ”
By "subordinates," Scott was referring to the mustachioed Burmese soldiers.
"General!" Andy looked at the dozens of disarmed Burmese soldiers around him and explained: "They were about to launch a mutiny, but they were discovered by the Chinese and stopped in time, and it was under their leadership that we came here without hindrance!" ”
In this way, Scott had nothing to say, but it seemed a little unnatural because of the cowardice that he had just shown in front of everyone.
"Colonel, you should have informed me sooner!" Scott lowered his voice and blamed Andy.
Then Scott coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment, walked up to Zhang Chi and stretched out his hand and said, "Welcome, Chinese friends, your behavior is very heroic, I will definitely report to your superiors and let them reward you!" ”
"This is ......" Andy introduced on the side: "He is a second lieutenant of the squadron, and he is also a translator because he can speak English!" ”
"Hmm!" That's when Scott realized he had mistaken the image.
As he was talking, Wang Mazi walked in with a few guards, he didn't know the scene of surrender just now, so he felt quite strange about the strange atmosphere in the small building.
"This is our captain!" Zhang Chi introduced to Scott.
"Welcome, Colonel!" Scott greeted him.
"Hello!" Although Wang Mazi didn't want to see the British in his heart, he was still polite on the surface.
In the next sentence, Wang Mazi asked: "What is the situation now?" ”
This is the typical behavior of professional soldiers, who usually do not waste their time on each other's courtesies, but race against time to get ready as quickly as possible.
"The Japanese army has blocked our main transportation routes!" Scott followed Wang Mazi to the map, and said while drawing: "As you know, the Japanese army occupied the 501 Heights and the Binhe Bridge, and deployed artillery on the 501 Heights to make it impossible for our tanks and armored vehicles to pass through the Binhe!" ”
"What about the rest of the Japanese army?" Zhang Chi asked.
Zhang Chi has been wondering: just now they just made a mistake and let all the British troops surrender, that is to say, as long as the Japanese army launched an attack casually or even as long as the trumpet of the charge was sounded, the British army might surrender without a fight, why didn't the Japanese army attack?
"They're fighting the fire in the south!" Scott explained, "That's why we only have some time! ”
"Oh!" Hearing this, Zhang Chi couldn't help but suddenly realize.
You must know that energy is the lifeblood of the Japanese army, and Ren'anqiang is a big oil field, and those oil fields are what the Japanese army is determined to get, of course, they are not willing to watch the fires in those oil fields burn more and more uncontrollable, plus they are not worried that the British army will rush out of their encirclement...... This is not that the Japanese army underestimated the enemy, but that the British army had tried to break through several times before, but they were easily beaten back by the Japanese army.
So naturally, the Japanese army chose to put out the fire first rather than take down the British troops hiding in the city first.
"How much heavy equipment do you have?" Zhang Chi asked.
Although he had already got the stats from Slim, he wanted to make sure.
"More than a hundred tanks, fifty-six armored vehicles, and an artillery regiment!" Scott replied.
"Good!" Zhang Chi nodded: "I hope you will hand over the tanks and armored vehicles to us, and we will launch an attack on the 501 heights!" ”
This was planned early in the morning, with the Engineer Regiment receiving tanks and armoured vehicles upon arrival at Ringanqiang, and then, in coordination with Slim's troops at Chok Padang, launched a two-sided flanking attack on Heights 501 under the cover of heavy artillery fire...... The devil only ordered a few guns on the 501 heights, so it can be expected that the Sino-British coalition forces will soon be able to take the 501 heights.
"No!" After a pause, Scott shook his head and replied, "I can't do that!" ”
"Why?" Zhang Chi couldn't help but be surprised.
Originally, Zhang Chi thought that this was not a problem, on the one hand, there was an order from Slim, and on the other hand, it was better to give these equipment to the engineer regiment to try than to leave it to the Japanese, so Zhang Chi didn't expect Scott to refuse at all.
"I can't give you the equipment!" Scott said, "I can order the armored forces to cooperate with your attack!" My troops are more familiar with the equipment, aren't they? They are better up to the task! ”
Hearing this, Zhang Chi couldn't help but be stunned, which sounded reasonable, but with the urine nature of the British war, I was afraid that I would retreat with a few random shots, leaving only the Chinese to rush up desperately, and in the end it would only be fruitless.
Perhaps, Scott will have the same idea of the British army: if the Chinese only came with more than a thousand people and were still sappers who could successfully break through the encirclement of the Japanese army, then what did the British nearly 10,000 people do before? How did Scott, the commander, command?!
Or maybe Scott didn't think that Zhang Chi's more than 1,000 people could break through the encirclement, so he still didn't dare to make moves that angered the Japanese, otherwise he would be angered by the Japanese when he surrendered.
Don't dare to provoke your enemies?
Zhang Chi never thought that there would be such a ridiculous thing!
