"General!" Colonel Yarlin found Zhang Chi at the first time, and he stood up in front of Zhang Chi and saluted: "I am Yarlin, the commander of the 1st Armored Regiment!" ”

"Colonel Arrin!" Zhang Chi looked at Yarlin, who looked a little embarrassed with a scorched black on his forehead, and asked casually: "The casualties of the First Armored Regiment are not big, right?" ”

"We lost more than thirty tanks, and more than fifty armored vehicles and cars...... "Colonel Yarlin replied with some helplessness, "but this is already considered lucky, without you, I think we would have suffered even more casualties." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info I thank you on behalf of the 1st Panzer Regiment, General. What an impressive battle! ”

Zhang Chi shook his hand, indicating that it was not worth mentioning.

"General!" At this time, Page squeezed in from the crowd, perhaps because of an occupational disease, and the first thing she did was to raise her camera and take a few pictures, and then asked, "General, can you give me an interview?" ”

"Peppa!" Zhang Chi couldn't help laughing: "Do you think this is the time of the interview?" If I'm not mistaken, I was almost stopped by you when I was about to go to battle half an hour ago! ”

The surrounding British soldiers couldn't help but laugh, and someone interjected: "Lady Page, if you succeed, then we should probably continue to escape!" ”

British humor, they don't shy away from small jokes like losing a battle or running away.

"But now the Germans have retreated, haven't they?" Page insisted.

"Ms. Paige!" Colonel Yarlin replied on his behalf: "We need to rush back to Maherama to rest and replenish fuel and ammunition, so that in case the Germans turn back...... We're ready! You know, anything can happen on the battlefield! ”

"Oh!" Page nodded stupidly: "Okay then, but General, you owe me an interview!" ”

"I can't ask for it!" Zhang Chi joked: "Of course I won't forget the invitation of the beauty!" ”

The British soldiers couldn't help but laugh, and a few even whistled.

As Colonel Yarlin said, the 1st Armored Regiment needed to rest, so Zhang Chi didn't dare to stay longer, and immediately returned to Maherama with his troops.

The British army of Maherrama had long been ready to meet the Chinese army...... In this regard, the Chinese army is much calmer, after all, the victory of the battle is already too many for the expeditionary force to count, if you have to celebrate every time, you really can't celebrate.

But this victory was no small feat for the British, and in fact, it was the most successful victory in North Africa...... The reason why "count" is used here is because before the German army entered the North African battlefield, the British troops had beaten the Italian troops all the way and almost drove them out of North Africa...... The word "vulnerable" was not enough to describe the embarrassment of the Italian army, because most of the British attacks were the surrender of the Italian army as soon as the cannon was fired.

Rommel clearly portrayed the fighting power of the Italian army in his letters to his wife (note: Rommel wrote to his wife almost every day).

Rommel recounted in his letter that on one occasion he was surprised to see a British armored vehicle capture an entire Italian battalion......

Rommel exclaimed, "God, what happened? A battalion of soldiers, each with one foot can squash that armored car! ”

Rommel then ordered his men to set up machine guns and shoot at the British armored car, so that the Italian soldiers could escape.

Then Rommel said: "They did flee, but in the direction of the British!" ”

So, even the British themselves understood that they had been able to win not because of how strong they were, but because their opponents were too weak.

When the opponent was replaced by a strong or even only partially strong German army, the balance of victory tipped in the direction of the German and Italian armies.

And now, the British army felt that the situation had changed again, because the British army had a stronger Chinese army.

To this end, the British army even organized a military band and played the "Triumphal March" on both sides of the road that the Chinese expeditionary force could not appreciate.

Wu Min even secretly said to Zhang Chi: "What is the British guy's blowing and beating?" Soft, how can we have our big drum with energy! ”

Zhang Chi smiled and didn't speak, now it should be said that he is following the customs.

"General!" When Zhang Chi got out of the car, Abner, Jon and other British officers hurriedly came up to shake hands with Zhang Chi, and said while shaking hands:

"A good fight, General!"

"Your command is perfect!"

……

"General!" Jon made a gesture of invitation to Zhang Chi and said, "My command, General Montgomery would like to speak with you!" ”

Zhang Chi secretly said that Montgomery was in a hurry, and his call was already waiting before anyone arrived.

All the way under the admiring eyes of the British officers and soldiers, Zhang Chi walked into Jon's headquarters, and the British officers inside were trembling one by one, and they all stood up and stood up when they saw Zhang Chi coming in.

Zhang Chi couldn't help but feel funny, just yesterday, it was also these officers...... They are still laughing and questioning whether the Chinese army will fight, but today it is all a different story.

In fact, this can also be regarded as one of the benefits of the battlefield, here only talk about strength, if you can win the battle, you can be respected...... This is not the case in the rear of a peaceful society, and it is not uncommon for those who are capable to be treated unfavorably.

"I am Zhang Chi, deputy commander of the New Seventh Army of the Chinese Expeditionary Force!" Zhang Chi took the microphone handed by Jon and identified himself.

"Major General!" Montgomery's voice came from the other end, perhaps because of the first call, and Montgomery's words were a little unnatural.

"First of all, congratulations on such an impressive victory!" Montgomery said, "I'm proud to have such good troops in our army as you, well fought!" ”

"Thank you!" Zhang Chi said: "But general, you are in such a hurry to call me, it won't be just to congratulate me!" ”

Zhang Chi knew that this was not what Montgomery really wanted to say.

"Yes!" Montgomery continued: "You know, the most important thing to be a soldier is to obey orders, and that's the duty of a soldier, isn't it? I don't know if this is the case with your Chinese army, but our British army ......"

"General!" Zhang Chi interrupted Montgomery's words, and the superiority over China in Montgomery's tone made Zhang Chi uncomfortable, so he unceremoniously pushed back: "It's not that I disobey orders, I just don't obey orders that are obviously wrong and lack military common sense!" ”
