So Zhang Chi replied: "Forget about this, we can do it!" ”

"Major General!" Abner looked at Zhang Chi in surprise, and Zhang Chi nodded at Abner in thanks. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

For Zhang Chi, if there is an additional colonial army, it is very likely that there will be "pig-like players" on the battlefield, which will not only not play a big role, but will also distract Zhang Chi.

When the British officers heard Zhang Chi's words, some showed gloating expressions, while others cast angry eyes at Zhang Chi, and they regarded Zhang Chi's actions as an insult to the British Commonwealth Army.

"Major General, I suggest you choose one or better!" Montgomery said, "They can at least provide you with cover or a buffer!" ”

"Then ......" Zhang Chi thought about it and replied: "Then I will choose the South African troops!" ”

Zhang Chi's words once again aroused the anger of the British officers, because as we all know, the South African troops were the worst fighting units in the British Commonwealth Army, they did not even shoot and the troops were always mixed with the conspiracy of the Germans, Zhang Chi's choice of this division was a more complete insult to the British Commonwealth Army in the eyes of the British officers.

"Major General!" An officer stood up indignantly: "The South African 1st Division you chose, he is not even in the options given to you by General Montgomery!" ”

"Oh!" Zhang Chi said: "What do you mean, can't I choose this division to fight with us?" ”

"No, of course you can!" An officer with several medals on his body stood up, and Zhang Chi noticed that the medals clanged against each other as he stood up.

"Major General!" The officer glared at Zhang Chi coldly and said, "I have to remind you that this is a battlefield, not a game. Maybe we don't care if the Chinese army wins or loses, but you have to be clear...... The Chinese army has the most advanced tanks in our army, and all of them. If you want to die, maybe you might want to give up the tank! ”

Abner whispered beside him: "That's Major General William, the commander of the 1st Armored Division!" ”

Zhang Chi let out an "oh", no wonder he would say the words "let the tank out", he felt that he was unhappy because the "Sherman" tank was given to the new division.

"Major General!" Zhang Chi replied: "You have to be clear, if we are defeated, the Commonwealth may only lose a few tanks, and we will lose lives, living people, do you think we will treat our lives as a game?" ”

"That's why you should take ...... seriously"

"Do you think I don't take it seriously?" Zhang Chi interrupted Major General William's words: "I personally led the troops to the battlefield, what about you?" ”

"Enough!" Montgomery stopped the two from arguing, and then asked Zhang Chi: "Major General, I want you to answer me clearly, do you really choose the South African 1st Division?" ”

Without waiting for Zhang Chi to answer, Montgomery added: "Maybe you don't understand, so I need to remind you that the combat effectiveness and equipment of the South African 1st Division are not satisfactory, and there are many spies among them that cannot be eliminated, which may reveal your location and battle plan!" ”

"Don't worry!" Zhang Chi replied: "I'll deal with it!" ”

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure!"

"Okay!" Montgomery nodded helplessly: "I will let the South African 1st Division report to you as soon as possible, and ...... I'll also send you a few assistants, who are the liaison units of the artillery unit and the air force unit, so that we can better cooperate with you in the battle! ”

"No problem!" Zhang Chi nodded.

Because of this episode, many British officers, including Abner, were not optimistic about this battle, and many even feared that it would affect the whole plan. Many held the same view as Major General William, and that doing so would cost the Commonwealth army all of its Sherman tanks.

"General!" After the meeting, Abner asked: "How can you choose the South African 1st Division?" Don't you know them yet? They're all soldiers like De Soya......"

"There's nothing wrong with them!" Zhang Chi choked Abner with a word.

"God!" After a while, Abner shook his head and sighed, "You ought to see for yourself what kind of troops they are!" ”

Soon Zhang Chi really saw it in person.

Leading the 1st Division in South Africa was a Brigadier General named Jack...... The characteristic of the colonial army is that most of the officers are still British, and the lower-level officers and soldiers are the colonial army, which means that they are actually still British in command, just like the Anglo-Indian army.

"General!" Brigadier General Jack was not very powerful in front of Zhang Chi: "My troops have been assembled at the designated position, waiting for the general's order!" ”

"Hmm!" Zhang Chi nodded, and then said, "You don't have a task at the moment, wait for the order!" ”

This couldn't help but surprise Jack, as the so-called new officer took office with three fires, and he still had to use the South African 1st Division to go to the battlefield to cooperate in the battle...... What's the matter, I have to train together or something, but I didn't expect Zhang Chi to say "no task".

Therefore, Brigadier General Jack was stunned in place for a long time and did not react.

"How?" Zhang Chi raised his head.

"General!" Jack said, "I heard...... It was you who chose our South African 1st Division, although it is very heartening to us. However, I would like to know the reason! ”

Zhang Chi put down the pen in his hand and asked, "Do you want to know the reason?" ”

"Yes!"

"Let's put it this way!" Zhang Chi replied: "For the Chinese army, whether it is the Australian army, the Indian army or the South African army, the army that cooperates with us...... Actually, there's not a big difference, you know? ”

Jack nodded, he also thought about this, the Chinese army is an armored division, not only equipped with a large number of tanks but also many armored vehicles and cars, and its speed is not comparable to that of ordinary armies.

Another point may be that the combat effectiveness and quality of the Chinese army are very good, while other troops cannot keep up with its rhythm, so it does not matter whether it is good or bad.

"On such a basis!" Zhang Chi said: "I prefer to choose a unit with fast and survivable troops, that is, the South African 1st Division, because they are at least likely to reach the destination within the time we need, understand?" ”

Jack nodded again.

The South African 1st Division may have poor combat effectiveness and poor discipline, but the advantage is that it grew up in Africa, and its ability to march on foot in the desert and survive in the desert is indeed unmatched.

"So!" Jack asked, "What are we going to do then?" I want to train ahead of time! ”

Zhang Chi still has those two words: "Rest!" ”
