Then Zhang Chi immediately held a short meeting. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

This short meeting was more of a discussion than a short meeting, and a few people squatted on the ground around a map and began to talk.

"The second regiment and the first battalion are responsible for the defense of Dali Airport!" Zhang Chi looked at Wu Yuhang.

"General!" Wu Yuhang said: "Will there be too little for a battalion to defend the airport? ”

It is foreseeable that the Dali airfield will definitely become the main offensive target of the French army, because it can be said to be the logistics supply base of the Chinese army.

"If we go around, we will distract the French offensive forces!" Zhang Chi replied: "In addition, the three regiments and a large number of supplies will arrive before dark, so the first battalion must hold the airport, understand?" ”

"Understood!"

"In addition, the 2nd and 3rd battalions attacked the port of Algiers!" Zhang Chi continued: "Attack on two sides, be sure to occupy and blockade the port of Algiers!" ”

"Understood!" Wu Yuhang answered again.

Algiers is a port city, and its most important traffic is not in the air or on the ground, but at sea. If the port had not been blockaded and reinforcements had been allowed to come in from all over the country, the French army in Algiers would have doubled in a matter of hours, and to make matters worse, these French troops would be safe to use for Darlan, unlike the French army in Algiers...... Darlang feared that once command was decentralized, they would side with the Allies because of General Juan's orders.

"A mess!" Then Zhang Chi turned his gaze to his fellow villagers: "One battalion attacks the military airfield, the other battalion attacks the power station, and the power supply will be cut off immediately after it is taken, and the other battalion will ...... Attack on Kertaylor Children's Hospital! ”

"Children's Hospital?" Hearing this, fellow villagers couldn't help but look at Zhang Chi suspiciously.

The attacking military airfields and power stations understood that one could strike at and limit the air power of the French army, making it impossible or minimally impairing its air support to the Dalí airfield, where the expeditionary force was stationed, but attacking the children's hospital......

"The attack on the children's hospital is a feint!" Zhang Chi explained: "Don't hurt anyone inside, but ask for surrounding, and can't let anyone out of the hospital, especially the patient, understand?" ”

"Understood!" Fellow villagers responded.

But although he said this, in fact, his fellow villagers did not understand Zhang Chi's true intentions, even if it was a feint, he should feint to attack a valuable target, how could he attack the hospital?

What the fellow villagers did not know was that the attacks of several battalions of the other regiment were all feints...... There was no great need to attack the military airfield, not only because the weak performance of these French fighters and bombers in Algiers would not pose much of a threat to the expeditionary force, but also because the battle was mainly street fighting in the city.

It is clear that the fighters will not play much role in street fighting, unless they can bomb and strafe civilian houses without any scruples.

There was also no great need to attack the power station, as it did not bother the Zoaf Corps...... Unless the Zoaf Corps does not have a backup generator, which is almost impossible.

All of this was for one thing, and that was to distract Darlan's forces and attention.

Especially the attack on hospitals...... This hospital is the same hospital where Darlang's son is treated, which can easily lead Darlang to mistakenly think that the enemy wants to take his son hostage.

Of course, Zhang Chi would not do such a thing, he just made Darlang panic with a false shot, and his real point was ...... As I said to Montgomery earlier, the command of the assault on the Zoaf Corps rescued General Juan.

In the end, Zhang Chi said to the extremely poor students: "The second independent battalion is under my command!" Are the tasks clear? ”

"Clear!"

"Action!"

The two regiment commanders answered, and immediately went to command their own troops.

The troops moved quickly, and in a few minutes they walked out of the airfield in groups and attacked their targets from different directions.

At this time, Staff Officer Liang took several French officers to Zhang Chi and reported: "General, I have found Captain Tinbeck!" ”

"Good!" Zhang Chi stepped forward and shook hands with a French officer led by him: "Captain Tinbeck...... I'm Major General Zhang Chi! ”

"General!" Captain Tinbeck said: "I regret to tell you that General Juan has been arrested......"

"I know!" Zhang Chi replied: "I'm going to rescue him now?" ”

"Get him out?" Hearing this, Dinbeck's eyes lit up: "I thought you only had one division!" ”

"We really only have one division!"

Hearing this, Tinbeck couldn't help but be dumbfounded: "There is only one division? How to save ...... Algiers has seven divisions! ”

"You don't care about that!" Zhang Chi said: "I need some French soldiers, thirty cars, and some drivers, can you provide them?" ”

"Of course!" Dinbeck replied, pausing and asking, "Where do you want to go?" ”

Zhang Chi pointed to a location on the map and said, "This, the headquarters of the Zoaf Corps, the intelligence says that Dar Lang and General Zhu An are there, right!" ”

Dingbeck couldn't help but open his mouth wide and couldn't close it for a long time.

The next battle situation was really just as Zhang Chi had estimated, the expeditionary force was divided into several parts to attack in all directions, and Dar Lang was also dizzy and sent troops everywhere.

In peacetime, the problem of these redeployments would not be difficult for Darlan, but now it is before the coup d'état in Algiers has been cleared, and the movement of various forces is very problematic, and sometimes Darlan even dismisses a deputy as commander and asks him to lead troops to reinforcements.

However, it is conceivable that these deputies did not have much experience in leading troops, and at the same time, a large number of middle and high-ranking officers were dismissed from their posts without cause, which also made the Zoaf regiment panic, and the soldiers were speculating whether a coup d'état was taking place in Algiers, and some even doubted whether the dismissal orders were issued by Darlan.

At this time, the French officers who supported Juan took the opportunity to spread rumors that Darlan had in fact been controlled by the coupers, and these orders were not Darlan's original intention, and they used this to compete with the newly appointed and dismissed officers for command, so that the whole of Algiers was in chaos.

What made Darlan most anxious was when he received a report of the presence of an enemy at the Kertaylor Children's Hospital......

"It seems that the enemy knows the information that my son is seeking medical treatment there!" Darlang Aiko was so heartfelt, he immediately said to Fernan, the commander of the First Infantry Corps, whom he trusted the most: "I want you to lead two battalions to the hospital, and if you can't get my son out, you will hold there!" ”

"But, General!" Fernand replied: "If this is the case, there will only be one battalion left in the command!" ”

"Go!" Darlan ordered in an unquestioning tone.
