For some unknown reason, Alexander did not tell Slim that the reinforcements were from the Engineer Corps.

Perhaps, this was because Alexander didn't want to dwell too much with Slim, because he had a hunch that if he told him about it, Slim would definitely ask for a change of troops. Or, Alexander didn't want to affect the morale of the British troops on the front line of Ren'anqiang, the British troops who were besieged in Ren'anqiang were waiting for the Chinese ** people to come to their rescue, these British troops needed good news rather than bad news, if they heard that the squadron that came to reinforce was an engineering regiment, they were afraid that they would choose to surrender immediately.

But in any case, now the 1st Engineer Regiment is on Chokpadang and ready for battle.

"How?" Zhang Chi pretended not to know and spread his hands towards the stunned British.

"Do you know how to fight?" A British officer asked.

"Aren't we here to fight?" Zhang Chi is pretending to be confused.

Looking at the distrustful eyes of the British officers, Zhang Chi smiled and said, "Okay, if we are not needed here, we will gladly go back the same way!" ”

"No, no, no......" Slim was anxious when he heard this, because he knew very well what the situation of the Anglo-Burmese army and the Anglo-Indian army under his command was, and even the armored 7th Brigade composed of British soldiers was demoralized, and if these Chinese left, it would be all over.

Thinking of this, Slim put a far-fetched smile on his face and said, "Of course we need you. Moreover, the situation in Ringanqiang is very critical, they have been holding out for several days without food and water, and they are almost unable to hold on, and I hope you will launch an offensive as soon as possible. ”

The attitude of the Captain of the Slim Legion was quite good, and some of the British ** officers around him were shaking their heads, some were sighing, and some walked to the side to make coffee.

"I want to know the deployment of the Japanese army!" Wang Mazi asked.

"This ......," Slim replied with some embarrassment, "we only know that there is a large group of Japanese troops in the direction of the ferry, and the rest are ......."

Wang Mazi was a little incredulous: "You have been fighting with the Japanese army for two days and nights, why don't you know the deployment of the Japanese army until now?" ”

"Commander." Zhang Chi replied on his behalf: "Don't be embarrassed for others, as soon as they have casualties, they will retreat, how will they figure out what troops are deployed!" ”

"Fuck British!" Wang Mazi couldn't help scolding.

Of course, Zhang Chi will not translate this sentence to the British.

Wang Mazi is also worthy of being born in the main force, he looked at the map and said: "This battle is actually not difficult to fight, it is the British Armored Seventh Brigade trapped in Ren'an Qiang, that is to say, they have a lot of tanks, armored vehicles and heavy artillery, isn't that so?" ”

"Of course!" Slim nodded: "There are more than a hundred tanks, more than fifty armored vehicles, and more than forty heavy artillery pieces trapped in Ren'anqiang!" ”

"Then ......" Wang Mazi quickly formulated a battle plan: "Send your troops to harass the Japanese army now, or ** or feint, and come once in a while." And make good contact with the trapped troops of Ren'anqiang, and launch an attack on the Japanese army in the area of the Bin River at six o'clock in the morning at the same time! ”

This plan is certainly feasible.

The first is this harassment. You must know that the Japanese army traveled a long distance to intersperse here, and they also fought intermittently with the British army for two days...... Although the combat effectiveness of the British army was not enough at all, the Japanese army, which was under-strengthened, would certainly not be able to get enough rest under such circumstances. Then now they will harass the Japanese army, so that the Japanese army will continue to be unable to rest, until it is about to dawn at six o'clock in the morning, and then launch a fatal blow against the Japanese army.

The second is the internal and external attack. As Slim said, there are a large number of tanks, heavy artillery and armored vehicles in Ringanqiang, and they are carrying out overwhelming firepower strikes against the Japanese army on both sides at the same time.

But Zhang Chi felt that there was something wrong with this plan.

This is not to say that there is anything wrong with this battle plan itself, on the contrary, this plan is a very good battle plan, and the problem is that it is impossible for Sun Liren, who is good at using troops, not to know this simple and practical battle plan.

The only explanation for not fighting like this in history is...... The plan was rejected.

Sure enough, as soon as this plan was proposed, Slim looked embarrassed: "Let the Seventh Armored Brigade be combined with the outside world...... I'll try to convince Scott! ”

Saying that, he nodded to Zhang Chi and the others, and went to contact the Seventh Armored Brigade.

After a while, Slim shook his head and returned to Zhang Chi and the others, and said, "I'm sorry, Scott refused to cooperate!" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Chi couldn't help but be surprised, and he asked without waiting for the translation to be heard by Wang Mazi: "The reason for refusal is ......"

"He said......" Slim replied with some embarrassment: "The 7th Armored Brigade has lost its combat effectiveness in the face of extreme water shortages, and there is no point in attacking again!" ”

"Are they just waiting to die in Ringanqiang?" Zhang Chi was puzzled, originally he thought that under the pressure of death, the British army would give it a go no matter what, isn't there a saying called trapped beast fighting? Why is this happening?!

Slim shrugged helplessly and said with a wry smile: "I have persuaded him many times, in fact, if I hadn't been asking for it, he might have surrendered to the Japanese army with his subordinates!" ”

So Zhang Chi understood that the Scott in Slim's mouth was not waiting for death, but completely lost the will to fight and was ready to surrender.

If that's the case, it's not hard to see why Scott is reluctant to go along with the breakout.

First of all, they didn't know how brutal the Japanese were, so they thought that surrendering would save their lives and wait for the war to end. On the contrary, a breakout would threaten your own life. So such a comparison is naturally more tempting to surrender.

Secondly, they did not believe that they could break through at all, that is, sooner or later they would be prisoners of the Japanese, since this was the case, choosing to break through was likely to provoke the Japanese and finally turn their anger on them, and if they did not break through but gave the equipment in their hands to the Japanese as they were, they might be able to get some mercy from the Japanese.

Poor people, pathetic troops, hateful country!

Zhang Chi finally understood why Sun Liren didn't use this plan in history, and he had to give up because he couldn't get the cooperation of the 7th Armored Brigade trapped in Ren'anqiang.

"What's the situation?" Wang Mazi saw that Zhang Chi's face was wrong, so he asked.

Zhang Chi smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that we have to rely on our own strength to drag a half-dead army out of Ren'anqiang!" ”
