The news immediately caused a big sensation in the conference room.

"Damn it, what's the point of this British guy?" Li Tongxiang immediately cursed: "I haven't seen their plane for so long. As soon as I know the news, I'm bombed!"

"That's it!" Another officer cursed: "Those British guys still looked arrogant in front of us! Unexpectedly, they were thrown into tanks and bombed in the airplane, they were just dragged down!"

"What a fuck!" Some officers also cursed: "Their airport was bombed yesterday, and we only got the news today. What kind of ally do you think of is this?"

...

The officers criticized the British army with one whistle and one whistle, and only said that Dai Anlan was also bored.

In fact, Dai Anlan was also very dissatisfied with the performance of the British army... The British army in the direction of the Iron Bridge of Wajie did not notify him of the retreat. As for why he did not notify the Chinese army, Dai Anlan knew that his intention was very sinister, which was that he hoped that the Chinese army would continue to block the Japanese army on the front line without knowing it so that they could have more time to retreat. But they never thought that in this way, the Chinese army would be surrounded by the Japanese army without knowing it... Just like the officers scolded, can it still be called an ally?!

But at the same time, Dai Anlan also knew that this was a battlefield and complaining was useless. The more you complain, the less you didn’t have the confidence and courage to continue. So Dai Anlan shouted: “Have you scolded enough?!”

There was a silence in the venue.

Dai Anlan continued to curse: "You have a few more words of curse, can the British come back to fight? Or can they scold the Japanese to death? Can they save Tonggu?"

Of course no one dares to say that it can.

After pausing, Dai Anlan raised his head to Zhang Chi and said, "You continue talking."

"Yes!" Zhang Chi continued: "In this way, air supremacy will be completely in the hands of the Japanese army, and it can be foreseen that this situation will not change for a long time in the future. Since this is the case, what can we do if we have tanks that are more advanced than the Japanese army? Our tanks are just targets for Japanese aircraft. And if the tanks are assigned to the main force and placed in Tonggu... wouldn't it give the Japanese aircraft a good bombing target? Such a large tank, and there are dozens, where can we hide it? The Japanese pilots can find us from a distance!"

The commanders of each regiment could not help but nodded secretly. According to this analysis, if the tank is assigned to the main force, it will not only not help much, but will also point out the Japanese fighter planes where their troops are located, which will cause death.

"On the contrary, it would be completely different if the tanks were assigned to the Engineer Regiment." Zhang Chi continued: "There are jungles everywhere around the airport, and there are many places to house tanks. Secondly, the rifles used by the Engineer Regiment were made in Hanyang. When a large amount of British equipment was seized, we can make an emergency change and equip the Engineer Regiment with British rifles. In this way, the Engineer Regiment can obtain more advanced equipment, and there will be no ammunition chaos when using tanks, and the combat effectiveness will be greatly improved."

The officers couldn't help but nodded. The reason why the Engineer Regiment was easier to change British equipment was very simple. They were not the main combat units and did not have much opportunity to fight together with the main force, so the ammunition and equipment were acceptable, just like the Engineer Regiment used Hanyang to build it before.

Secondly, Hanyang Built is originally a backward rifle, and its performance cannot be compared with the British Enfield rifle in all aspects. Therefore, even if you have a familiar and adaptable process in this way, the combat effectiveness of the Engineer Regiment has been improved overall.

Again, the large amount of British equipment and ammunition seized cannot be used, while the 200th Division is short of ammunition. If the Engineer Regiment is allowed to use British equipment, it can make good use of British equipment and ammunition, and become a good supplement to the main combat troops with insufficient ammunition.

"The most important thing is..." Zhang Chi emphasized at last: "If our main force has not used tanks, the Japanese devils will take it for granted that we do not have tanks. At that time... it is impossible for the tanks in the hands of the Engineers to become a surprise soldier!"

"Shock?" Dai Anlan couldn't help but ask curiously: "Tell me what kind of surprise is it?"

"This... Master!" After hesitating, Zhang Chi said: "I wish my subordinates had said bluntly that the war between Tonggu has developed to this day. My subordinates thought that Tonggu no longer had to stick to it."

This immediately caused quite a stir in the conference room. You should know that if this is wrong, it would be a crime of disrupting the morale of the army. To be serious, it would be a beheading. So even Wang Mazi's face changed.

Dai Anlan was silent for a while, neither affirming nor denying it.

In fact, Zhang Chi's words put Dai Anlan in an embarrassing situation:

Dai Anlan knew that Tonggu no longer had the need to stick to it... The original strategy of the peak was to let the 200th Division and the British and Burmese army defend Tonggu and Beimiao separately from left to right, and wait until the main force arrived and fought a battle between Tonggu.

But now, the main force of the Expeditionary Force has been missing for a long time, and the ammunition of the 200th Division has almost been exhausted. What's more serious is... the British army on the right wing has begun to retreat without notifying the Chinese army.

In other words, even if the main force of the Expeditionary Force arrived in time now, because the right-wing British army had withdrawn, the strategic goal of blocking the Japanese army on the front line of Tonggu could no longer be achieved. Tonggu was destined to be surrounded by the Japanese army, and sticking to Tonggu would become a meaningless suicide.

But this cannot be said, because at this time the officers and soldiers of the 200th Division were still trying to guard Tonggu. As soon as they said this... they would be afraid that the morale of the officers and soldiers would be damaged and the British army would be in the dust.

After thinking about it, Dai Anlan felt that this matter was still unstoppable, so he nodded.

Dai Anlan's admission caused another commotion in the conference room.

"This is what I call a surprise weapon!" Zhang Chi concluded at last: "This surprise weapon was prepared for the 200th Division to withdraw from Tonggu!"

"Report!" Before Zhang Chi finished speaking, a correspondent soldier hurriedly ran in.

"Teacher seat!" The correspondent handed over a telegram and said: "Battleman Huang reported that it has been found that the Japanese army that appeared on Wajie Bridge was the vanguard of the 56th Division. It is estimated that the main force of the 56th Division is not far away."

The officers sitting there heard this and their faces changed drastically: it was already dangerous for the 200th Division to resist a 55th Division, and now there is another 56th Division... The Japanese army of the two divisions faced a 200th Division, which was a four-to-one military force. Moreover, the Japanese army still had air strength. No matter how strong the 200th Division was, there would be no chance of winning.

So all the officers understood at this time, and Zhang Chi was right. The 200th Division had to give up the same path as the ancient ones.

"Order!" At this time, Dai Anlan did not hesitate at all: "Give all the seized equipment to the Engineer Corps. The Engineer Corps must be familiar with this batch of equipment within a few days and form combat power!"
