Chapter 31 Dress Up
"You are there!" Wang Mazi laughed in the jeep when he went back: "You kid, you really have two tricks. You can just talk when fighting. This time I gave our engineer commander a face. Do you see Li Tongxiang like this? That guy turned around and was sure to overturn the table!"
Zhang Chi couldn't help but feel funny when he heard this. Wang Mazi was also very fun. The Japanese 56th Division entered the battle and was inserted from the flank of the retreating British, which means that 200 is likely to fall into a dangerous place surrounded by the Japanese army again. What Wang Mazi cares about is whether he can anger Li Tongxiang and give the engineer commander a face.
"I'll say the third row leader!" Wang Mazi handed a cigarette to Zhang Chi and said, "Your head is very useful. Go back... If you have any ideas, report to me directly, do you understand?"
"I understand!" Zhang Chi responded very simply.
This is what Zhang Chi hopes. After all, Zhang Chi has a lot of historical knowledge that can affect the situation of the war, but the army is very taboo to report beyond the level. Simply put, if Zhang Chi has any ideas, he must first report to the company commander, then report to the battalion commander, and finally the battalion commander, and then report to the regiment commander...
If there is any mistake in this, even if there is no mistake, it will take a lot of time. When the superior receives the order and makes a decision, I am afraid that the fighter plane will have missed it.
Now, Wang Mazi allows Zhang Chi to report directly to him, so it will be much more convenient to do things in the future.
What Zhang Chi didn't know was that Wang Mazi originally wanted to promote Zhang Chi to the regiment headquarters as a staff officer or something, so that he could take her with him at any time to give him advice.
This idea was very tempting for Wang Mazi, because Wang Mazi felt that Zhang Chi was the material, and even said that it was more than enough to make Zhang Chi a division commander... In Wang Mazi's eyes, there were too many staff members in the division headquarters who could only talk about military affairs on paper. They usually talked a lot, but they didn't even say a single fart at critical moments.
For example, this time, who can boldly propose to allocate equipment to the engineering regiment? Who can see the future battlefield situation so forward-looking? Who can easily set up surprise troops for the Japanese and leave a way out for the 200th Division?
No, none.
Because of this, even the master looked at Zhang Chi differently. After the meeting, he specially found Wang Mazi and told him to train Zhang Chi well, and he might be a pillar in the future.
But in the end, Wang Mazi did not dare to promote Zhang Chi in an extraordinary way. The reason is very simple, just to avoid affecting the morale of the troops.
You should know that the 200th Division is an elite unit that fought on the battlefield. The battalion commander here, and the company commander, did not come step by step with blood and life! In terms of qualifications and military merits, the 200th company commander is more than enough to be a battalion commander in other units, a regiment commander or even a division commander, but it is not enough to be promoted in the 200th Division.
Now, if Zhang Chi is an exception, in the eyes of outsiders, who are just talking and verbally lifting up like a rocket...what would the soldiers who fight with their lives and blood think? Especially when they are still fighting, this extraordinary period must not allow such danger that affects morale to exist.
However, Wang Mazi knew that in the 200th Division, there were many soldiers with good quality and fearlessness. It can be said that there were a lot of soldiers who could use their heads, but to find a soldier like Zhang Chi who could use his head... I could only take a chance.
"The leader of the third platoon!" Thinking of this, Wang Mazi said to Zhang Chi earnestly: "Do it well, you can only know it now. Go back to study military academy or something, and leave this to me!"
"Yes! Thank you for the cultivation of the group!" Zhang Chi responded, but a bitter smile appeared in his heart.
Looking back... I have to wait until I can save my life before I can "turn back"! And it is a problem for me to have a few people from these 200 divisions to return to China.
*******
As soon as Zhang Chi rushed back to the station, the tanks, cars and other seized were continuously driven into the airport.
Looking at the tanks, armored vehicles and vehicles of equipment, the soldiers of the Engineering Corps were stunned: What is this for? You won’t really give these equipment to the Engineering Corps!
When the devil who had just returned from the meeting saw Zhang Chi, he couldn't help but punch Zhang Chi heavily and said with a smile: "Oh, his grandma, you actually convinced the teacher to allocate all the tanks to us! Now our engineer corps has replaced the cannons!"
When the soldiers around him heard this, they were all stunned.
"Deputy Company Commander, what were you talking about?" asked a fellow villager: "You mean... this tank is really given to our engineer regiment?"
"Is it... the credit of our platoon leader?" The extremely poor student looked at the devil with some disbelief, and then looked at Zhang Chi.
"Why are you still standing there?" The devil smiled and said, "There is an order on the top of the mountain. All units of the Engineering Corps will change into British rifles. Each company can operate tanks and drive cars and register immediately!"
"Okay!" There was a burst of cheers coming from all around.
Although the soldiers of the Engineering Corps are also members of the 200th Division, they are far from the main force in terms of equipment and treatment, and they can't even have enough food to eat... Zhang Chi also had a deep understanding of this. At first, he thought that because of the tight logistics in the combat, the Engineering Corps only had one waste and one sparse every day, occasionally gnawing a few steamed buns. Later, he realized that he was giving the food rations to the main force.
Not only that, they have been under the scruples of the main force for a long time, so the engineers are all full of anger. When they hear that they will fully change British equipment and American tanks and armored vehicles, there are no one who is not ecstatic.
So those who received the equipment immediately received the equipment, and those who registered were soon busy.
"Platform leader, give it!" The gangster handed Zhang Chi a rifle and a bullet bag full of bullets.
Seeing this, Zhang Chi was stunned... It would be no surprise if other people helped him get equipment, but this person was a hooligan. The hooligan has always been unwilling to obey his orders and even looked down on Zhang Chi, the platoon leader.
Zhang Chi took the rifle hesitantly, a little confused about what the hooligan was selling.
The hooligan seemed to have seen through Zhang Chi's thoughts and smiled awkwardly: "Plane leader, you don't care about villains. I used to be wrong. I'm so embarrassed!"
"Hmm." Zhang Chi didn't know how to answer.
"I used to think..." The gangster smiled bitterly and continued, "This war is just like when I was a gangster before, it's just a brave and ruthless thing. But this time..."
Speaking of this, the gangster shook his head and sighed: "If it weren't for the command of the platoon leader, we would have let the Japanese have been dismantled. It would be a blessing for us to come back alive. So the platoon leader is worried, I, Wu San, will obey you, and will resolutely obey the orders of the platoon leader in the future. If anyone dares to question the orders of the platoon leader, it will be impossible to get along with me, Wu San!"
As he said that, he saluted Zhang Chi with a straightforward stern salute.
