Chapter 821: Roy Mountain
"Of course!" Zhang Chi replied. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"No, no, Major General!" General Juan said: "This is too dangerous......"
"Maybe!" Zhang Chi replied with a smile: "But what is not dangerous on the battlefield?" Besides, if I don't lead the team, how much hope do you think this project will succeed? ”
Hearing this, General Zhu An couldn't help but be stunned, and then he had to nod, and then held Zhang Chi's hand tightly and said, "Major General, you are very brave, which makes me admire it very much." We will never forget you, and all the Chinese soldiers who helped us selflessly! ”
"You're welcome!" Zhang Chi replied relaxedly.
In fact, there is really no need to be polite, because Zhang Chi is actually doing this for himself.
"Good luck, my friend!" General Zhu An said.
"You too!"
After bidding farewell to General Zhu An, Zhang Chi found Ku Keyi as soon as possible, and this plan was of course to be taken over by Ku Keyi first, and he could almost be said to be Zhang Chi's right and left hand in commanding the Zoaf Corps...... Of course, Zhang Chi can also be commanded through Chinese advisers, but this is always more reassuring than coordinating with Cooky.
Kukyi was also taken aback by Zhang Chi's plan: "Sir, a division interspersed with Palermo? We'll be surrounded by enemies! We even have to face enemy warships and aircraft......"
It can also be seen that Cooke had a certain military attainment, and Palermo was located on the side of the Strait of Messina to Sicily, only a few kilometers from the Italian mainland, so it was assumed that the Zoaf Corps would have to face Italian or German warplanes and warships.
"Questions?" Zhang Chi asked.
"No, no problem!" Kukyi quickly replied: "I believe you, believe the Chinese, I know that you will not let us send us to death senselessly, not to mention that you will go with us!" ”
Zhang Chi couldn't help but nodded.
Compared with the deceit of the great powers of Britain, the United States, and France, the Algerians are much more sincere.
Of course, this can also be regarded as a kind of political immaturity, just as China initially believed in the "comrade and brother" relationship in international exchanges...... However, Zhang Chi prefers this kind of "immaturity".
"Of course!" Zhang Chi patted Kukyi on the shoulder: "Moreover, every effort and sacrifice of the Zoaf Corps is meaningful and will be rewarded!" ”
"Yes, sir!" Cook Yi stepped forward and replied: "It is enough to have your words, you give the order!" ”
So the team was quickly organized.
The interspersed tasks were performed by the 1st Division of the Third Army...... This division was also the most elite unit of the Third Army, and the division commander was a middle-aged man named Badar.
Of course, like all Algerian officers, he had only recently become a division commander, and before that he had even been a regimental staff officer, that is, to cooperate with the French commander in commanding troops.
He was not chosen to be the commander of the division because he was brave and good at fighting, although he did...... Not to mention, not long ago, in the defensive battle of the port of Bissetta, he stubbornly led his troops to repel a tank company of the Germans who broke through the defense line with rifles and grenades.
This was not surprising in the first place, and repulsing a tank company was nothing.
But Badar and his men repelled the German tank company with grenades and explosives...... This made Zhang Chi almost see the epitome of the Japanese army facing the American army.
In addition, Badal was also a literate aristocrat, which is important, because Zhang Chi believed that only a literate person would not use brute force completely, but would use his brain, and in modern warfare, the key is to use his brain.
The first step is to remove the bike from the transport ship.
It is not difficult to do this, and the Zoaf Corps already has a large number of "duck" amphibious transports in its hands, which were originally used to transport supplies to the US military, but no one will have any objections under Zhang Chi's "fake public and private affairs".
Soon, the bikes were delivered to the Zoaf soldiers.
Bicycles are better than a lot of mechanized equipment, especially in the mountains and when supplies can't keep up...... It can go almost anywhere, and it doesn't use gasoline, and it has a certain load capacity, so it's not an exaggeration to say that it's an off-road artifact.
At this point, Zhang Chi learned from the practice of the Japanese army in Burma, they used bicycles to enter the mountain roads in Burma to intersperse, and the results proved to be very ideal.
Then there is the question of equipment and supplies.
Ammunition and supplies are partly carried by bicycles, and heavy equipment such as mountain artillery and heavy machine guns cannot be brought by bicycles, so all the jeeps handed over by the US military to the Zoaf Corps will be "appropriated...... The car is too big, and the cross-country ability is not good, and it will be very troublesome to walk on mountain roads, but the jeep does not have these problems, and if you put a machine gun on the jeep, it can also be a good fire cover unit.
At this time, Zhang Chi missed the Germans with three wheels, in fact, the best thing to use at this time was the side three wheels, but there were not many side three wheels equipped by the US military...... Rugged Americans prefer to use jeeps that are powerful and more spacious.
Everything was ready, and with Zhang Chi's order, the troops began to move out in a mighty manner.
All of this was done without informing the U.S. military, and the troops were still moving forward in the name of delivering supplies...... Along the way, the U.S. military did not even suspect it, after all, the French jeeps and bicycles did carry things.
There were also quite a few American troops laughing at the unit on the road, saying, "Look, these French people have put rickshaws to use!" ”
"It's a clever way to do it, because it saves a lot of gas!"
……
What these Americans don't know is that in this battle, it was these "rickshaws" that they ridiculed, as they say, "came in handy."
Of course, Zhang Chi didn't pay attention to their gossip, he sat in the jeep and staggered forward, while looking at the map in his hand...... He was choosing a suitable place to hide, a position where a division could hide and not be detected by the Germans.
"Master!" At this time, a signal soldier reported: "We have just received the news that the Germans are approaching our position, only thirty kilometers from us!" ”
"So fast?" Hearing this, Zhang Chi couldn't help frowning.
Thirty kilometers, it takes less than an hour for a mechanized unit.
And now Zhang Chi is walking in the same direction as them...... In other words, Zhang Chi now has less than half an hour to go.
"Speed up!" Zhang Chi ordered: "Arrive at Roy Mountain within ten minutes!" ”
