Chu Tingchang didn't agree to come down, but promised to wait for the car crew to arrive, and then make a conclusion, he didn't want to get involved in the chaos in the city, if you learn from the situation in Yangon, the first chaos must be in the urban area, when the time comes, there will be a lot of armed elements mixed in the crowd, can get in, may not come out, so he can't carry this pot for the British, unless there is any special interest.

His men and horses rushed from the airport, drove tanks and trucks away, the railroad was still open, and under the opening of the British armored trains, rows of vehicles full of equipment drove towards the various areas where the Chinese troops were assembled, and at this speed, the vital weapons could be emptied at midnight, and the remaining weapons could be loaded into hundreds of trucks and pulled away. It's better not to leave the Japanese at all.

Commander Chu Ting's tank drivers are almost complete, and the tank company personnel in his battalion have all received relatively systematic American training (although the time is very short), and the American program requires that every member of the crew can be competent as a driver, so that if the driver is injured, the tank will not be unable to move. Although most people have only received the most basic training, and can just drive the tank crookedly, they can drive it after all. Now that one of his companies has been dismantled, he can transport two companies or even more tanks, and he is far richer than Sun Liren in terms of professionals.

But he kept a few of the cars that drove past Grant, and he didn't let them go, just sat and waited, and everyone was anxious, not knowing what the division was planning.

After nightfall, Chu Tingchang observed with a telescope that several jeeps from Sun Liren were coming, and it seemed that Sun Liren himself was the leader of the car, so he quickly hid in the command room and waited. So far, under the guidance of the US liaison officer, the two divisions have moved separately in the afternoon, and they have not crossed paths.

Listen to the sound of brakes outside, and after a while, I hear the commotion outside.

"Get out of the way, I want to see you Chu Tuanza."

"The teacher is ......"

"Flash aside."

Without waiting for the guard to finish speaking, Sun Liren picked up the curtain and broke in.

"Pavilion chief, it's your turn to help me this time, it's done, let's clear the favor last time."

"Oh, did we have any unclear feelings last time?"

Chu Tingchang turned his head and pretended to be taken aback.

"Without further ado, lend me a few tankmen and help me drive away those armored howitzers given by the Americans. It's not far away to the Balekpur railway station. ”

"It's a 105 self-propelled * gun, right? What do you call that thing an armored howitzer? ”

"It doesn't matter what the name is, the Japanese are almost there, and I don't have anyone who can move that thing."

"But I don't have anyone here who can drive that thing." Chu Tingchang spread his hands and said.

"Don't pretend to be garlic in front of me, Stilwell told me, Grant and this thing have a chassis, get me? In fact, you don't have to be proficient, it's enough to be able to drive, and I'll have a co-pilot to help. ”

Chu Tingchang thought about it, if the co-pilot can help, you can drive away by yourself, and it is clear that you can't trust me, and you will be equipped with an escort.

"There are people who can move, but they just left in Sherman, but since Brother Tai has spoken, I'll coordinate it here...... How about waiting for them to come back? ”

"How long will it take?" Sun Liren seems to be a little dissatisfied with this prevarication.

"4 hours, what do you think?"

"It's been too long, too long, these heavy trucks have to wait for the platform to be emptied before they can be loaded and unloaded at the railway station, and the intestines of the waiting are itchy, and besides, after dawn, the Japanese aircraft carrier gets on the plane, and the railway may be blown up."

"So, three hours later, how?"

"It's still too slow, but it can only be like this," Sun Liren shook his head helplessly, "I'll write a note, you let your people show the guards when they go, and they will naturally let them go." ”

It seemed that the negotiation was over, and Sun Liren didn't sit down, just stood at the table and wrote a note.

"Oh, it turns out that Brother Sun's earlier arrangement was not to let my people get close?"

Chu Tingchang pretended to suddenly realize.

"Rules are rules after all, and they can't be messed up." Sun got up, raised his chin slightly, and handed over a piece of life. Chu Tingchang hated him the most for his unfortunate virtue of being taller, holding his head high, and using his nostrils to see himself.

"Brother Sun, don't worry, I'll arrange it, ......rest assured," Chu Tingchang stretched out his hand to take the order.

"There is no joke in the army, but don't push back and forth when the time comes, our Chinese army is bad because it doesn't stop doing what it wants, and it has no sense of time."

"Okay, okay."

"That's the best," Sun Liren still held on to the order and didn't let go, "You also went to college, although you studied farming, and you didn't graduate...... In any case, don't let me down too much. ”

Chu Tingchang took the order with a smile, and Sun didn't thank him much, turned around and left.

"What a thing, there's no kind words at all to ask someone to do something." Zhou Youfu said dissatisfiedly behind Chu.

"Old Zhou, you go to the high place outside and see where Senior Master Sun and his party have gone."

"Where else can he go if he doesn't return to Headquarters?"

"Not necessarily, I don't think he can trust us, maybe go back to the Americans for help."

Zhou Youfu went out and came back in a while.

"The division is like a god, I see him and his party go to the port authority, the US military station."

"Very well, you take that group of brothers and hurry to the empty field to pick up the batch of self-propelled guns. The chassis, like our tanks, will definitely work. ”

"There's an American soldier there. Tanks and artillery were marked with chalk where the distribution went. ”

"Bring the case wine and get the Americans done, the key is not in them, it is Sun who sent another guard, so you bring his order. I guess his escort hasn't arrived yet, so it's time to do it early. ”

"High, master." Zhou Youfu found that Shizuo had already calculated, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "But Shizuo, this dog surnamed Sun, what will he do if he makes a big fuss in the future?" ”

"Give him our 105 howitzer battalion. Spare him one more truck per gun, and he actually earns it. ”

"But Shizuo, you count him like this, he also went to college, and he is not stupid, will he buy it? Besides, it would take him hours to get those cars to the train platform, and he had already found out. ”

"Don't worry, I asked the British to send a distress message, and you take these cars to the city to rescue the British, so there is no ready-made excuse?"

"That's ......" Lao Zhou was still a little confused about the entire deployment.

"As soon as the Japanese come ashore, they will separate us from Sun Liren, and then it will be a fait accompli."

"Understood."

Zhou Youfu slapped his thigh, he finally understood the whole plan of Pavilion Chief Chu, and hurriedly took the order.

When he arrived at the port, he sent the personnel of the new 38th Division to guard the equipment, and sure enough, the "co-pilot" of the Sun faction had not yet arrived, and Sun probably judged by the tradition and efficiency of the national army, saying that it would take three hours, but it was estimated that he would not be able to come for five hours. So he went to the U.S. military to ask for manpower, in case Chief Chu Tingchang repaid his debts, so that he could have a backup, where did he expect Chief Chu to come so quickly.

Sure enough, Lieutenant General Vivier personally called from central Ranchi, asking Captain Chu to immediately send heavy weapons into the city to help open a road for the trapped British convoy near the bank, and the governor informed him that the situation in the city was out of control, and the telephone near the Bank of Calcutta had been destroyed and contact had been lost. It seems that the British retreated too quickly, and they did not see each other for two days, and the headquarters of the 4th Army had reached Ranchi, 200 kilometers away, without informing the Allies at all, and Calcutta had become an empty city.

Zhou Youfu's men fired the self-propelled guns, pretended to go east, then turned off the lights, waited for the tank to fall into the night, and then turned north. The guards could only hear the rumbling of the tanks in the distance, and they could not distinguish where they were going.

By this time, the entire port had been almost emptied of important armaments, and only some ordinary supplies and trucks remained. From the British came news that the railway had been damaged by the partisans, and that it would take several hours to repair. Chu Tingchang estimated that the speed of repair may not be as fast as the destruction, because the enemy's guerrilla warfare will intensify in the future.

He ordered the convoy and light tanks, not to take the railroad and turn due north to Calcutta, and the Japanese fleet would appear in a few hours, if it moved quickly. It's hateful that 419 has no news yet, and he went to the sea to find supplies, and he has been looking for so long.

Zhou Youfu's tank rumbled into the city and found that it was in a sea of fire, and he indiscriminately fired at the figures in all directions with a 12.7mm machine gun. Sure enough, no militant dared to mix in the crowd and bully him, because he even beat the crowd,

There was a fierce battle at the bank of Calcutta, which became the focus of the warring sides throughout Calcutta, and it seemed that the Japanese had long been hiding something here, and only the British allies were kept in the dark; When Vivier borrowed troops from Chu Tingchang, he didn't mention what it was, in short, he was not honest as always.

Several Vickers armored vehicles guarding here were barely in control of the situation, but after nightfall, the enemy took advantage of the darkness to gain the upper hand, they occupied the commanding heights around the bank, and used grenadiers to shoot at the armored vehicles behind the barbed wire and sand barriers on both sides of the gate, and two of them had been destroyed, and one was still hiding in a dead corner and could not move. Now the British army here is not to mention breaking through, and it is difficult to protect themselves.

In addition, a number of British trucks waiting around the bank were also destroyed. The British made a lot of calculations and made an empty plan, trying to deceive the Japanese and the Allies at the same time, so that they could get out first, but they were clever and mistaken by cleverness, and now they have no troops to protect the tax revenue of the entire East Indies for three years.

Zhou Youfu was separated by a kilometer, seeing the battle situation in the bank, and the commanding heights around the square were lost, he reported to Chu Tingchang the situation he was facing now, although there was a base ammunition, but because there was no gunner and loader, there was no attack power. According to his own judgment, he told Chu Tingchang that this trip to the muddy water could not be drained, and if a rioter secretly threw a * down from the upper floor, he could destroy the entire self-propelled gun, because this kind of self-propelled gun was open-top and roofless.

Lao Zhou thinks that it is the best policy to leave quickly, anyway, he has already got rid of Sun Liren, regardless of how he is British; I have this idea because I don't know the whole ambition of the master yet.

At this moment, Chu Tingchang was on the way to evacuate, and there was no drone, which did make him less able to grasp the situation, but when he came yesterday, he had already carefully observed the situation around the bank, although he was more worried about the hitter at that time, but he had an idea of the terrain there.

A few minutes later, he gave Zhou Youfu an order for the machine gunners to reload the 105 gun and prepare it to fire. Zhou Youfu hesitated a little, and he once again emphasized that there was no gunner in the crew, so he could not aim.

"Zhou Youfu, is the fire around the bank enough for you to see the houses occupied by the enemy?"

"You can see that at least a dozen machine guns are firing."

"Listen, let your men open the bolts and aim them at the middle of those houses."

"And then?"

"And then? You have such a brain, how can I promote you to be the head of the regiment? ”

Zhou Youfu continued to be in a daze.

“…… Load the shells, close the latches, and fire. Do you understand? Do you want me to repeat it? ”

"I understand the teacher's seat." Zhou Youfu suddenly opened his mind.
