CHAPTER XXXI

Thank you for the millennium of love, Iron Piggy, the sky is high and the clouds are faint, and the dark _ ah, ah, Hunter_wang a few classmates for their rewards!

*****

The news immediately caused quite a stir in the conference room.

"Fuck, what kind of fame is this British?!" Li Tongxiang immediately scolded: "I haven't seen the shadow of their plane for so long, and as soon as I know the news, it was bombed!" ”

"That's it!" Another officer scolded: "Those British guys are still putting on a look of grandeur in front of us!" I didn't expect to lose tanks and bomb planes again, it's purely a drag! ”

"What the fuck!" Some officers also scolded: "Their airport was bombed yesterday, and we only got the news today, what kind of ally is this!" ”

……

The officers started to criticize the British army one by one, but Dai Anlan was also bored.

In fact, Dai Anlan was also very dissatisfied with the performance of the British army...... As for why he didn't notify the squadron, Dai Anlan knew that his intentions were very sinister, that is, he hoped that the squadron would continue to block the Japanese on the front line without knowing it, so that they would have more time to retreat. But they didn't think that in this way, the squadron would most likely fall into the encirclement of the Japanese army without knowing it...... This is like what the officers scolded, can it still be called an ally?!

But at the same time, Dai Anlan also knew that this was a battlefield, and it was useless to complain, and even the more he complained, the less confidence and courage he had to fight, so Dai Anlan shouted: "Have you scolded enough?!" ”

There was silence in the hall for a moment.

Dai Anlan then scolded: "If you scold a few more words, will the British be able to come back to fight?" Or can you scold the devil to death? Can you keep the same ancient times? ”

Of course, no one dared to say yes.

After a pause, Dai Anlan lowered his head at Zhang Chi and said, "You continue." ”

"Yes!" Zhang Chi continued: "In this way, air supremacy is completely in the hands of the Japanese army, and it is foreseeable that this situation will not change for a long time to come." If this is the case, then what can we do if we have tanks that are more advanced than the Japanese army? Our tanks were nothing more than targets for Japanese aircraft. And if the tanks are assigned to the main forces and placed in Tonggu...... Doesn't that give the devil's plane a good bombing target? Where to hide such a big tank, and there are dozens of them? Devil pilots can spot us from afar! ”

The commanders of each regiment couldn't help nodding secretly, according to this analysis, if the tanks were assigned to the main force, not only would they not be of much help, but they would also point out the location of their troops to the devil fighters, thus attracting death.

"On the other hand, if you assign tanks to the engineer regiment, it will be completely different." Zhang Chi continued: "The area around the airport is full of jungle, and there are many places to place tanks. Secondly, the rifle used by the engineer regiment is made in Hanyang, and when a large amount of British equipment is captured, we can have an emergency redress and equip the engineer regiment with a British rifle, so that the engineer regiment can get more advanced equipment, and there will be no confusion of ammunition when using tanks, and the combat effectiveness will be greatly improved. ”

The officers couldn't help nodding their heads, the reason why it was easier for the engineer regiment to change to British equipment was very simple, they were not the main combat unit, and they did not have much opportunity to fight together with the main force, so it was acceptable that the ammunition and equipment were different, just like the engineer regiment used before was made in Hanyang.

The second is that Hanyang-made is an outdated rifle in the first place, and its performance cannot be compared with the British Enfield rifle in all aspects. Therefore, even if there is a process of familiarization and adaptation to such a change, on the whole, the combat effectiveness of the engineer regiment has been improved.

Thirdly, a large amount of captured British equipment and ammunition cannot be used, and the 200th Division is desperately short of ammunition, if the engineer regiment is allowed to use British equipment, then the British equipment and ammunition can be well used, and it will become a good supplement to the main combat force that is short of ammunition.

"The most important thing is ......," Zhang Chi finally emphasized: "If our main forces do not use tanks all the time, the Japanese devils will take it for granted that we do not have tanks in our hands, and when the time comes, ...... Maybe the tanks in the hands of the engineer regiment will become a wonder soldier! ”

"Odd soldiers?" Hearing this, Dai Anlan couldn't help but ask curiously: "Tell me what kind of strange soldier?" ”

"This ...... Division! After hesitating, Zhang Chi said: "With all due respect, the war with the ancients has developed until now, and the subordinates think that there is no need to hold on to the ancient times. ”

These words immediately caused a lot of waves in the conference room, you must know that if this is not right, it is a crime of disturbing the morale of the army, and in a serious way, it is to kill the head. So even Wang Mazi's face changed.

Dai Anlan was silent for a while, neither affirming nor denying.

In fact, Zhang Chi's words put Dai Anlan in an embarrassing situation:

It's not that Dai Anlan doesn't know that Tonggu has no need to stick to it...... Originally, Shangfeng's strategy was to let the 200th Division and the Anglo-Burmese army hold Tonggu and Beimiu on the left and on the right, and when the main force arrived, they would fight a battle of Tonggu.

But now, the main forces of the expeditionary force are long gone, and the ammunition of the 200 divisions is almost exhausted, and even more seriously...... The British troops on the right flank had already begun to retreat without informing the squadron.

In other words, even if the main force of the expeditionary force arrives in time, because the British army on the right flank has withdrawn, the strategic goal of blocking the Japanese army on the front line of Tonggu can no longer be realized, and Tonggu is destined to be surrounded by the Japanese army, and holding on to Tonggu will become a meaningless suicide.

But this could not be said, because at this time, the officers and soldiers of the 200th Division were still desperately guarding Tonggu, and as soon as these words came out, they ...... I am afraid that it will hit the morale of the officers and soldiers and follow in the footsteps of the British army.

After thinking about it, Dai Anlan felt that this matter still couldn't be covered by paper after all, so he nodded.

Dian's admission once again caused a commotion in the conference room.

"That's what I'm talking about!" Zhang Chi finally concluded: "This strange army is preparing for the withdrawal of the 200th Division from Tonggu!" ”

"Report!" Before Zhang Chi finished speaking, he saw a communications soldier running in in a hurry.

"Master!" The communications soldier handed over a telegram and said: "Battalion Commander Huang reports that it has been ascertained that the Japanese troops who appeared at the Wajie Bridge are the vanguard of the 56th Division, and it is estimated that the main force of the 56th Division is not far away. ”

Hearing this, the officers present couldn't help but change their faces drastically: the 200th Division was already in danger of resisting a 55th Division, and now there is another 56th Division...... The Japanese army of the two divisions had a four-to-one ratio of strength to one against the previous 200 division, and the Japanese army still had air power, so the 200 division would not have a chance of winning no matter how strong it was.

Therefore, all the officers understood at this time, and Zhang Chi was really right, the 200th Division had to give up the same ancient road.

"Command!" At this time, Dai Anlan did not hesitate at all: "Distribute all the captured equipment to the engineering regiment, and the engineering regiment must be familiar with this batch of equipment and form combat effectiveness within a few days!" ”

"Yes!" Wang Mazi stood up and responded, and at the same time glanced at Li Tongxiang, who was full of embarrassment, on the other side.
