Zhang's words played a pivotal role in the Algiers government. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

This is not only because the Chinese army led by Zhang Chi can almost be said to be an "occupation force...... In a sense, Darlang and the others are still prisoners of Zhang Chi.

What's more, because what Zhang Chi said or made before has come true one by one.

Therefore, although many generals in the room thought that it was too early to attack, they finally decided to launch an offensive towards the game port as soon as possible.

"Major General!" When making the plan, General Zhu An said to Zhang Chi: "I have a request, I hope you can agree!" ”

"What requirements?" Zhang Chi asked.

"I want to ask the Chinese army to assist us in our attack!" General Zhu An said: "You know, the Zoaf Corps has never been trained for landing operations, and I have heard that the Chinese army fought against the Japanese in the Pacific Theater and won many victories, so I hope that the Zoaf Corps can fight under your guidance!" ”

"What do you mean......" Zhang Chi didn't understand the meaning of General Zhu An's words.

"I know!" General Zhu An said: "Originally, we needed more training, but now the time is too late, so we can only settle for the next best thing, I mean, let the Chinese grassroots officers serve as advisers in the Zoaf Corps, so that they can guide the Zoaf Corps in combat!" ”

"But they don't speak the language!" Zhang Chi said.

"That's not a problem!" General Juan replied: "We will provide a translator!" ”

Zhang Chi originally wanted to find an excuse to refuse, but after thinking about it...... When I was in Burma, the expeditionary force did not allow the US military to install advisers in the army, but the US military insisted on doing so.

After thinking about it carefully, being a consultant is really beneficial and harmless.

The work of the advisers is to provide "guidance," and they are basically delegated to company-level units according to their establishment, which means that they can control military power to a certain extent.

As for casualties, the advisers are there to "guide", and there are only one or two in a company, and even if the casualties are inevitable, they are almost negligible.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chi nodded and agreed.

This work was quickly carried out, and a large advisory group consisting of one battalion of troops was soon assigned to the Zoaf Corps. Although it was a bit hasty, General Zhu An had prepared in advance and proceeded in an orderly manner.

As soon as these Chinese fighters were assigned to the troops, they were treated in two very different ways.

One treatment was from a French officer.

Most of the French officers were arrogant, and even if the French only lasted more than a month in the face of the German attack, they all looked down on the Chinese with their nostrils facing the sky.

This is partly because of the inexplicable sense of superiority of the Europeans, and partly because the arrival of these Chinese advisers affects their prestige, status, and even power.

But they were helpless about it, because it was General Juan's order, and they also wanted to win the battle on the battlefield...... The previous attack had terrified them.

Another kind of treatment is from Algerian soldiers.

As the subjects of colonization and enslavement by the French, they are inherently disgusted with the French and their rule, and more importantly, they know that these French people will not fight, and when they fight, they just blindly let them rush forward to die, and Chinese is different, especially this Chinese army...... They don't know the previous achievements, but the African troops that have repeatedly defeated Rommel on the African battlefield have spread almost all over the continent.

Of course, it is an exaggeration to say that it spread all over the continent, at a time when Africa was still quite backward and information dissemination was not developed, but Algeria was in some ways an ally of Germany...... This relationship is a bit complicated, the simple is that Germany is the master of France, and France colonized Algeria, so Algeria is naturally an ally of Germany.

Because of this relationship, Algerians naturally care about the victory or defeat of the German army on the battlefield in North Africa, so they have heard the story of this amazing Chinese army.

They thought that these were far away from Algeria, but suddenly one day, this Chinese army fell from the sky and occupied Algeria, and suddenly Algeria turned from an ally to an enemy of Germany, and suddenly these long-known Chinese soldiers became their advisers.

Coupled with the fact that the Chinese soldiers would not shout at them like the French, they quickly won the favor of the Algerian soldiers.

To the surprise of Zhang Chi and General Zhu An, perhaps because the soldiers of the expeditionary force came into contact with people who did not understand the language and were good at communication, many of the soldiers were able to mingle with the Algerian soldiers with gestures soon after becoming advisers.

General Juan said, "Do you know? I searched almost all the Chinese in Algiers to find a batch of Chinese-French translators, but now it seems that ...... It's superfluous for me to do so! ”

General Zhu An's words are of course a joke, where will he use gestures to communicate if he really wants to fight.

The troops set off that evening.

The choice was made at night because it was too risky to attack during the day...... Although the Allies had air supremacy, this did not mean that the Germans did not have an air force, and at the same time, there were Italian warships and coastal defense guns in the Grand Port, which would cause great problems for the fleet.

On the contrary, if it was a night attack, there was no need to worry about the bombing of German fighters in the first place.

The second is that these transport ships and warships can also be "mixed with each other".

The so-called "confusion" refers to the fact that the transport ships of the German and Italian armies also concentrated on transporting supplies at night in order to avoid the bombing of the Allied forces, and in order not to be discovered by enemy submarines or warships, they did not turn on their lights, and it was also difficult to identify each other, after all, some of these transport ships were German, some were Italian, and even French...... The Vichy government of France no longer had any self-control at this time, and Hitler would of course "requisition" French transport ships to transport supplies to him at this critical juncture.

This gave the French fleet an opportunity, and all they had to do was to hang the German and Italian flags.

Of course, only a few destroyers escorted these transports.

If too many warships are sent, it will be flawed, because the Italian Navy has few warships to use.

Therefore, the Toulon fleet could only follow far behind, and even had to take a detour to avoid it when it heard that there was something going on, especially the few battleships that looked like monsters.
