Zhang Chi led his troops to the command center of the British-Burma First Division. Zhang Chi and others did not even hold the gun. They just grabbed the gun in their hands, and even lowered the gun to show that they were not hostile, but even so, they still did not encounter any resistance.
One after another, the British officers and soldiers raised their hands in front of Zhang Chi and others, their eyes full of fear and helplessness, and they didn't even have time to destroy the telegram.
"General Scott!" Zhang Chi walked to the center of the hall and shouted to the surroundings: "Where is General Scott?"
"I am!" An Englishman with a tired and disheveled face stood up: "Don't shoot, we surrender, I hope you can give us the treatment we deserve!"
Zhang Chi smiled bitterly. If this falls into the hands of the Japanese, it would be accumulating virtue in his previous life and he also wants the treatment of an officer!
"I'm very sorry, General!" Zhang Chi replied: "I can't accept your surrender!"
"Wait..." Scott became anxious when he heard Zhang Chi say this. He thought Zhang Chi was going to kill the prisoners, so he hurriedly said: "You can't do this. We have not resisted your army, and we have not done anything bad to the Burmese!"
Zhang Chi looked at Scott who was both pitiful and hateful for a while, without explaining anything, turned his head and shouted back: "Col. Andy!"
Andy walked up with awkward face. He looked at the puzzled Scott and said, "General, they are not Burmese or Japanese. They are Chinese and our allies!"
"What? Chinese!" Scott's expression was as ugly as eating a cockroach.
"What a fucking hell!" After a moment of froze, Scott shouted in anger: "How can you do this? You didn't even inform me! And... since they are allies, why did they capture my subordinates?"
The "subordinates" Scott refers to the bearded and Burmese soldiers.
"General!" Andy looked at the dozens of disarmed Burmese soldiers around him and explained: "They were about to launch a mutiny, but they were discovered and stopped in time by the Chinese. We came here without any stop under their leadership!"
So Scott had nothing to say, but it seemed a little unnatural because of the cowardice he had just shown in public view.
"Col. You should notify me soon!" Scott lowered his voice and blamed Andy.
Then Scott coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment, walked to Zhang Chi and stretched out his hand and said, "Welcome, Chinese friends, your behavior is very heroic. I will definitely report to your superiors and ask them to reward you!"
"This is..." Andy introduced on the side: "He is the second lieutenant of the Central ** team. Because he can speak English, he is also an interpreter!"
"Well!" Scott realized that he had made a mistake.
As he was talking, Wang Mazi walked in with several guards. He didn't know the scene of surrender just now, so he felt quite strange about the strange atmosphere in the small building.
"This is our leader!" Zhang Chi introduced to Scott.
"Welcome, Colonel!" Scott greeted him.
"Hello!" Although Wang Mazi didn't like the British in his heart, he still did his superficial politeness.
The next sentence, Wang Mazi asked: "What's the situation now?"
This is the typical performance of professional soldiers. They usually do not waste time on each other's courtesy, but try every second to prepare as quickly as possible.
"The Japanese army blocked our main traffic route!" Scott followed Wang Mazi to the front of the map and said while drawing: "As you know, the Japanese army occupied the 501 Heights and the Binhe Bridge, and deployed artillery on the 501 Heights so that our army's tanks, armored vehicles, etc. could not pass through the Binhe!"
"Where are other Japanese troops?" Zhang Chi asked.
Zhang Chi has been wondering: they just made all the British army surrender just now, which means that as long as the Japanese army launch an attack at will or even sound the charge, the British army may surrender without fighting. Why doesn’t the Japanese army attack?
"They are extinguishing the fire in the south!" Scott explained, "so we have some time!"
"Oh!" Zhang Chi couldn't help but realize it.
You should know that energy is the lifeblood of the Japanese army, and Ren'anqiang is a large oil field. The oil is something that the Japanese army is determined to win. Of course, they are reluctant to watch the fires in the oil fields become more and more prosperous and uncontrollable. In addition, they are not worried that the British army will rush out of their encirclement... This is not that the Japanese army underestimated the enemy, but that the British army had tried several times before but were easily beaten back by the Japanese army.
So naturally, the Japanese army chose to put out the fire first instead of taking down the British army hiding in the city first.
"How much heavy equipment do you have?" Zhang Chi asked.
Although he has obtained the data in Slimna, he still wants to confirm it.
"More than one hundred tanks, fifty-six armored vehicles, and an artillery regiment!" Scott replied.
"Very good!" Zhang Chi nodded: "I hope you will hand over the tanks and armored vehicles to us, and we will attack the 501 Highland!"
This was planned early in the morning. After the engineering regiment arrived in Ren'anqiang, they received tanks and armored vehicles, and then cooperated with Slim's troops in Chokbadang to launch two-sided attacks on the 501 Highland under the cover of heavy artillery fire... The Japanese only had a few guns on the 501 Highland, so it can be expected that the Chinese and British Allied Forces will soon be able to capture the 501 Highland.
"No!" Scott paused and shook his head and replied, "I can't do this!"
"Why?" Zhang Chi couldn't help but be surprised.
Originally, Zhang Chi thought this was not a problem. On the one hand, there was an order from Slim, and on the other hand, it was better to leave these equipment to the Engineer Corps to try it out instead of leaving it to the Japanese, so Zhang Chi didn't expect Scott to refuse.
"I can't give you the equipment!" Scott said: "I can order the armored troops to cooperate with your attack! My troops are more familiar with these equipment, right? They are more competent for this task!"
Zhang Chi was stunned when he heard this. This sounded reasonable, but with the British's nature of fighting, he was afraid that he would retreat after a few shots, leaving only the Chinese to rush up desperately, and in the end he would return in vain.
Perhaps, Scott would have the same idea as the British army: If only more than 1,000 Chinese people came and were engineers could successfully break through the Japanese encirclement, then what did the British army do before? How did Scott command the commander?!
Or maybe Scott didn't think that Zhang Chi's more than a thousand people could break through the siege, so he still did not dare to make moves to anger the Japanese, otherwise he would be vented by the Japanese when surrendering.
Don't dare to anger your enemies?
