Chapter 822: Cannonballs
The soldiers pedaled their bicycles at full speed at full speed on Mount Roy and drove along the mountain road to hide themselves. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
While marching, Zhang Chi also specially asked a team of people to follow the troops and clear the traces of the troops as they passed......
Zhang Chi knew that his opponent was the German army, and it was also the elite unit of the German army, and he didn't want the German army to find out that a large force had come out to this position to be suspicious and send people to reconnoiter around.
When everything was ready, it was only twenty minutes.
Zhang Chi was very satisfied with this efficiency, after all, this is a division of tens of thousands of people, and it is a jeep and a bicycle, this time is almost the same if it is put on other troops and just settles down, but the 1st Division of Zoaf can do the march, remove traces and hide, all in one go.
Obviously, this is inseparable from the training they received under the guidance of Chinese advisers.
But then again, this is also inseparable from the enthusiasm of the Algerian soldiers, if the South African Division is asked to do the same thing...... I'm afraid that Zhang Chi will choose to give up directly.
It turns out that Zhang Chi's estimate is also very accurate.
Five minutes later, the roar of a motor could be heard faintly on the road at the foot of the mountain.
Zhang Chi, who was hiding in the grass, raised his binoculars and looked down, only to see dozens of German scouts driving forward on side three wheels...... This was characteristic of the German marches, who always arranged three rounds of reconnaissance in front of them, which were both quick and very vulnerable.
This may also be a form of fire reconnaissance, that is, the use of soldiers' lives to find out the location of the enemy or whether there is an ambush on the side of the road.
Of course, Zhang Chi would not alarm these scouts, he turned his head and gave an order: "Silence, don't shoot!" ”
"Silence, no shooting!"
……
The order was quickly delivered.
Behind him were the German mechanized infantry divisions, full of German soldiers wearing steel helmets and carrying Mauser rifles, occasionally armored vehicles or tanks with black crosses, and a cannon, which looked like they were not angry and arrogant.
Zhang Chi couldn't help but secretly praise in his heart, sure enough, it is the elite unit of the German army, just the appearance of the army is different from other German troops, and the US army is in trouble now.
After another twenty minutes, the gunfire and artillery soon began to sound on the other end, but not intensely, and soon stopped.
This was clearly the vanguard of the German army and the American army.
Then the whole world fell silent, and there was an admirable dullness in the air, almost breathless, and even the animals of the forest felt the strange atmosphere and returned to their nests.
Then, suddenly, there was a burst of explosions, and the German offensive began.
The opening remarks were of course artillery, and to Zhang Chi's surprise, the German artillery position was located on the other side of Roy Mountain...... At first, Zhang Chi didn't realize it, but the sound of the German artillery and the bursts of green smoke made him realize this.
This gave Zhang Chi the urge to raid the Germans, because this was a good opportunity, and the Germans did not know that there were enemy troops hidden on Mount Roy and that there was a division...... If the French suddenly pounced and flanked the Germans on both sides, it was very likely that the German mechanized infantry division would be quickly routed.
Truth be told, if this were to do so, it would have achieved the desired effect of General Juan, which was to make the French army famous in one fell swoop, and at the same time to overwhelm de Gaulle's French army. Although its influence is not as great as that of Palermo.
But this was not what Zhang Chi wanted, what Zhang Chi wanted was not to defeat the German army, but to use the German army to fight the British army.
So Zhang Chi resisted his impulse to be a soldier...... It's like having a hungry man face a table of food but can't do it.
Zhang Chi also saw a similar idea in Ku Keyi's eyes, to be honest, this was also very tempting for Zhang Chi, but Zhang Chi finally shook his head slightly to stop Cook from making a move.
Zhang Chi told himself: "I may encounter many more situations like this in the future!" ”
Taking advantage of this time, Zhang Chi simply analyzed the current situation:
Until then, the defeat of the German army was uncertain, so in the long run, the expeditionary force should undoubtedly be on the side of the Allies.
For example, in the African campaign, Africa can not only be said to be the world's energy powerhouse, but also around the strategic point of the Mediterranean, and it can almost be said that whoever wins Africa can win the world.
On this crucial issue, Zhang Chi must not be sloppy, and of course he must help the Allies seize Africa.
However, now that Africa was in the hands of the Allies, and the Mediterranean Sea was also in the hands of the Allies, the German army was surrounded by the Allies on three sides and could only fight as a trapped beast. Then, from the perspective of China's interests, the longer this war drags on, the better it will be for China.
The suffering of others is their own interests, which is an immutable law in the international community, just like the layout of Britain, the United States and other countries in the world for a long time...... They are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and they will provoke some ethnic disputes as much as possible wherever they pass.
Therefore, Zhang Chi should change his attitude now, and should not blindly regard the Germans as enemies, nor should he blindly regard the Allies as his friends.
As the saying goes: "There are no eternal enemies, and there are no permanent friends, there are only interests." ”
Thinking of this, Zhang Chi couldn't help but look at Ku Keyi next to him, if he really wants to say that he has any friends, it should be people like Ku Keyi who do not have a "mature" international outlook!
At this moment, there was a sudden whistling sound in the sky, and a volley of shells exploded in the forest with a cloud of fire and smoke.
Zhang Chi couldn't help but be surprised...... Could it be that it was discovered by the enemy?
Cook looked at Zhang Chi eagerly, needless to say what his eyes meant, of course, he wanted to attack the Germans at the first time.
But Zhang Chi quickly reacted that it was not the Germans who discovered the Zoaf Corps, but the American artillery that was returning fire and suppressing the German artillery.
So Zhang Chi hurriedly ordered: "All units are not allowed to move, even if they are injured, they are not allowed to make a sound!" ”
This is a troublesome matter, the shells are not long-sighted, not to mention that the US military does not know that there is a "friendly army" hidden in this Roy Mountain, so they will only do their best to pour the shells in this direction.
Worse still...... The artillery of the American army was really not accurate, and the German artillery position was a few miles away from the hiding place of Zhang Chi and others, but they hit the shells here.
