"On the left flank is the 215th Wing of the Japanese Army, and on the right flank is the 213th Wing!" Scott replied.
"What are they doing?" Zhang Chi asked again.
"Organizing a fire extinguishing!" Scott was a little confused, this is obvious, and the Chinese should also know.
But after a pause, Scott added: "When we withdrew from that direction, we blew up or set fire to oil fields and power stations along the way, which stopped the Japanese attack because they had to salvage these facilities along the way!" ”
"That's right!" Zhang Chi turned his gaze to Wang Mazi.
Wang Mazi couldn't help but be stunned, and then quickly realized what Zhang Chi was going to do.
"You want to ...... Kill them one back with a carbine?! Wang Mazi's eyes couldn't help but widen, although he guessed it, he still couldn't believe that Zhang Chi would be so bold.
You must know that the front is the main force of the Japanese army, in addition to the two infantry wings on the left and the right, there is also a 151 wing as a reserve, an artillery wing, a tank wing, etc., which is nearly 20,000 Japanese troops......
Although the Sino-British coalition army also has tens of thousands of people, and the equipment is not bad, the 10,000 people of the British army can almost be said to be a dead fish with no combat effectiveness and relying on the engineer regiment to drag them out.
"Tuanza!" Zhang Chi analyzed: "Now maybe there is only this way." In the direction of the Bin River, because there are reinforcements from the Japanese armored forces, and we do not dare to guarantee whether the Japanese army will have follow-up reinforcements, in case the breakthrough fails, it will instead surround us with the devils who have been in a hurry for a long time. ”
Wang Mazi thought about it for a while before nodding slightly.
Zhang Chi was right, the Japanese army had always been able to eat the British troops trapped in Ren'anqiang, and the reason why they didn't do it was just to hope for both...... First rescue the oil field and power station, and then fight Ren'anqiang.
It should be said that this choice of the Japanese army was correct, because the British army had no morale and could not break through their encirclement at all, so the matter of eating the British army could be slowed down, and if the fire in the oil field and power station was not controlled in time, it was very likely to spread to uncontrollable, and this was intolerable to the Japanese army, which was extremely short of resources.
This gave the British some time to breathe.
But this is no longer the case, this is the third day that the British army has been trapped in Ringanqiang. In other words, the Japanese army had been fighting the fire for two or three days, and at this time, the Japanese army had almost controlled the fire, and at the same time, they realized that the interception force at the Bin River was insufficient, so they had gradually shifted their attention to the direction of Ren'anqiang.
It is conceivable that at this time, the Sino-British coalition forces are very likely to have only one chance to break through the encirclement, and once the breakthrough is unsuccessful, the strategic focus of the Japanese army will be completely shifted from firefighting to encircling and annihilating the British army.
So do you still continue to break out from the Bin River as planned?
Although the American tanks in the hands of the British army were much more advanced than the Japanese tanks, and the number was certainly more than that of the Japanese army, the Japanese tanks were gathered in the open field at the head of the Bin River Bridge, while the British tanks could only drive forward one or two along the road.
In this case, there is only one possibility to break through to the Bin River, that is, the tanks are blown up by the Japanese army one after another, and finally they are tightly blocked on the road and cannot move.
"Tell me what you think!" Wang Mazi asked Zhang Chi with a solemn expression.
"We can take the 215th wing on the left flank!" Zhang Chi pointed to the location of the Japanese 215th Wing on the map and said: "After breaking through the defense line of the Japanese 215th Wing, we can take advantage of the situation to enter the Pingmanna area to the east, and if we move fast enough, we can rush to Pingmanna before the main force of our army withdraws!" ”
Although Scott couldn't understand Chinese, he looked at the route of Zhang Chi's strokes on the map and roughly guessed Zhang Chi's thoughts, and couldn't help but shake his head in shock and said, "No, no...... I'm not going to agree to do that, it's crazy! ”
"You're going to have to figure it out, General Scott!" Zhang Chi said impatiently to Scott: "I don't need your consent, you either follow behind our ass, or stay in Ringanqiang, that's your choice!" ”
"What?" Scott couldn't help but be furious: "How can you talk to the chief like this? Don't you need those tanks? ”
"Who cares?" At this time, Zhang Chi had already gone out: "If you don't plan to give us those tanks, we can go back from the mountain road we came." As for your life and death, what does it have to do with us?! ”
Hearing this, Scott couldn't help but be stunned, Zhang Chi was right, now the British army is begging the Chinese to save their lives, not the Chinese are begging for those tanks. What's more, if you can't escape, those tanks will eventually fall into the hands of the Japanese, so what's the use of taking them?
In fact, Zhang Chi's words were just to scare Scott, and it was impossible to turn back from the same way...... They had come to finish off a small group of Japanese troops passing through the mountain road, and the Japanese must have discovered and re-consolidated their defenses there.
Of course, Scott didn't know any of this.
"But......" Scott said in a slow tone, "you're almost suicidal!" ”
"Wouldn't that be too risky?" Wang Mazi also had similar concerns: "If it's just our engineer regiment, it's okay to say, but this is a force of nearly 10,000 people, and if it is intercepted by the Japanese army, there will be a big mess!" ”
Wang Mazi's worries are reasonable, if it is only more than 1,000 people in the engineering regiment, then it is either possible to break through or disguise, and it is really not possible to enter the jungle to fight guerrillas, and there is no big problem, but now it is with nearly 10,000 British troops to break through together, it is difficult for such a large team not to attract the attention of the Japanese army, especially there are many Burmese soldiers with different intentions here.
"For this, we also have to thank the British army for breaking and fleeing so quickly!" Zhang Chi turned his gaze to Scott: "I think, you guys didn't destroy the roads and bridges all the way down!" ”
"Well, this ......" Scott blushed and paused before nodding his head in reply, "Yes, they are all intact!" ”
"Hmm!" Zhang Chi nodded with satisfaction and said to Wang Mazi: "If the roads and bridges are in good condition, then it is possible for us to use tanks, armored vehicles and automobiles to quickly break through when the Japanese army has not yet gained a stable foothold!" Plus, we have a couple of advantages! ”
"Advantage?" Wang Mazi couldn't help but be a little curious, he couldn't think of any advantages in this situation.
