Zhang Chi and the others arrived in Pingmanna at about 8 o'clock in the morning of the third day.

Originally, Zhang Chi thought that Ping Manna was already tense...... It is understandable that the tension of the war could not be seen in the towns that had been passed before, and that they were not intended to be defended, and that there were no British troops stationed there. But this Pingmana was different, it was here that the Allies intended to fight a meeting with the Japanese army, and it was an important place where an Anglo-Burmese regiment was stationed. How to say that in the direction of the highway, there should be fortifications built by the British army, there should be some barricades if there are no fortifications, and explosives should be installed on the bridges without barricades!

But there was nothing, and what Zhang Chi saw was still a peaceful and prosperous world: there were men with white handkerchiefs on their heads everywhere, and their faces were smeared with thick white. Pink women, bare-bottomed children chased and frolicked each other in the crowd, vendors kept shouting on the side of the road, and even a few beggars in tattered clothes stood in front of the armored vehicle in which Zhang Chi was riding, reaching out for food.

"What about the British?" The fellow villagers couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

They had received news that after the 200th Division withdrew to Pingmanna, the British troops stationed there would come to meet the 200th Division. But now the armored vehicles have driven into Pingmanna, but there is no trace of the British army.

"Did you escape?" Xiao Zhejiang muttered.

"Probably not!" The townsman replied: "The Japanese devils are still far from here!" ”

Finally, I saw two Indians with rifles on their backs on the street (Note: At this time, India was also a colony of the British army, and the Anglo-Indian 17th Division in Burma was composed of British ** officers and Indian soldiers. ）

"Hey!" Zhang Chi asked the two Indian soldiers in English: "Are you troops from the 3rd Regiment of the 1st Anglo-Burmese Division?" ”

"No!" The two Indians replied, looking at Zhang Chi and the armored vehicle they were riding in, surprised by Zhang Chi's fluent English.

In India, it is quite respectable to speak English...... Of course, this has something to do with the fact that India was colonized by the British, and more of India's high-caste or wealthy people can speak English because they have more educational opportunities, while low-caste or untouchable people have basically no access to education, and even if they know English, it is only a few simple words. So over time, Indians got used to it: those who could speak English were either the British who ruled them, or the high castes, so they had to be respected.

Although this is a human nature, it is a bit strange to regard the language imported during the colonial and enslaved period as a kind of honor, and even after independence and into modern times, it is still regarded as an honor and as a universal language.

Although the two Indian soldiers recognized Zhang Chi and the others as Chinese from their military uniforms, they couldn't help but be in awe when they heard Zhang Chi speak English.

"Report sir!" An Indian soldier stepped forward and replied: "We are the communications corps of the Anglo-Indian 17th Division, and we are here on a mission!" ”

"Do you know where the headquarters of the Third Regiment is?" Zhang Chi continued to ask.

"Walk along this street, turn right at the first intersection, and you'll be there for about a hundred meters!"

"Thank you!" Zhang Chi replied, paused and couldn't help asking, "You know...... Why can't you see the troops of the three regiments here? ”

"Report sir!" The Indian soldier replied, "You're early, they haven't gotten up yet!" ”

"Haven't gotten up yet?" Hearing this, Zhang Chi couldn't help but open his mouth wide and couldn't close it for a long time...... He thought that the British army would be transferred, and he also thought that the British army would escape, but he just didn't expect that the British army hadn't gotten up yet! You know, this was wartime, and it was past eight o'clock in the morning!

Immediately Zhang Chi was angry and did not fight a place, this fucking British, we Chinese fought with the Japanese in front of us to the death, but you slept in the back!

After thinking about it, Zhang Chi asked the Indian soldiers: "Are you going to the regimental headquarters?" ”

"Yes sir!" The Indian replied.

"Then ......" Zhang Chi put on a dejected face: "Please stop by and inform the commander of the Anglo-Burmese Third Regiment that the Japanese are coming after us!" ”

The two Indian soldiers' eyes widened for a moment, and they were stunned for a moment before they hurriedly replied, "Yes, sir, we will go and convey it now!" ”

said that he didn't dare to stop any longer, and trotted all the way towards the regiment headquarters.

Looking at the embarrassed appearance of the two Indian soldiers, the soldiers couldn't help but feel a little strange.

"Platoon commander." Xiao Zhejiang asked, "What did you tell them?" Look at what they're afraid to be! ”

Zhang Chi explained, only happy that the soldiers laughed.

"There's you, platoon commander!" The rascal laughed, "This trick will definitely scare the British out of bed!" ”

"Let's go! Let's take a look at the British! "Little Zhejiang likes to join in the fun.

"Platoon commander!" But the poor student slowed down the speed of the armored car: "What if this is ...... What should the British do if you fake military information? ”

"Who faked the military information?" Zhang Chi responded: "It's right that the 56th Division of the Japanese Army follows us!" And even if it is a fake military intelligence...... That's not my legacy, is it? ”

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but sigh, and then laughed again: The Japanese army was indeed fighting behind, but it was just a matter of following far and close.

So the extremely poor students no longer hesitated, and drove the armored car through the crowd to the British Army headquarters.

But when they arrived at the British-style building that was the headquarters of the British Legion, Zhang Chi and the others couldn't help but be stunned...... The British were frightened to wake up, the shrill whistle filled the building, and everywhere were disheveled, sleepy-eyed British officers and soldiers busy, but they were obviously not directing the soldiers to go to battle, but directing the soldiers to carry boxes to the cars.

"What are they doing here?" Xiao Zhejiang asked again.

"This time...... They're really going to run away! Zhang Chi sighed helplessly.

He really didn't expect that just his joke could make a whole regiment of British troops run away, and it was no wonder that when they faced the Japanese, the Japanese army raised the white flag just by blowing the trumpet.

"Hey! You've come just in time! Just as Zhang Chi was thinking, he saw a British officer waving at Zhang Chi: "You are China's army!" ”

"Yes, sir!" Zhang Chi looked at the British major with disdain in his eyes.

"Great, you can speak English!" The British major said: "This is up to you, we are going to withdraw to the Western Front, understand?" West! There's something to give to your sir......"

As he spoke, the British major handed a stack of messy documents to Zhang Chi, only said "Good luck", and then took the jeep and ran away.

Zhang Chi and the others couldn't help but look at each other...... Could this be the legendary crossover?!
