On the night of the next day, the 1st and 2nd Regiments of the New 1st Division were divided into three parts and concentrated at the three military airfields in Port Said. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

For this operation, Montgomery can be said to have concentrated all the transport planes in Port Said, and with the emergency reinforcements of the US army, he finally managed to make more than 200 sorties, which could basically meet the requirements of the two airborne regiments.

In addition, Montgomery deliberately organized British fighters to challenge the Luftwaffe during the day...... This has not been the case in recent times, so German and Italian fighters have almost all gone out to search for British fighters and hope to fight them.

However, the German and Italian forces did this in a medium way, and the purpose of the British army was not to fight them in a decisive battle, but to consume the German and Italian armies' already small amount of fuel.

This was done very successfully, which directly led to the fact that when the transport planes flew to Algeria the next day with the last batch of troops of the new division, the German and Italian fighters could only sigh helplessly at them...... The German and Italian armies were inevitably short of aviation fuel at this time, and they did not dare to take to the skies to pursue these transports, for they feared that if the little reserves they had were used, the airfields would soon be bombed by the British fleet.

That's all for later.

It was not a good night to fly, as a light rain suddenly fell in the otherwise moonlit and starry sky...... The climate by the sea is like this, and the rain often comes as soon as it comes.

But this did not affect the fighting spirit of the soldiers, they stood in front of their respective planes in a row and waited, and the squad and platoon commanders also issued one or two orders to the fighters from time to time, and the rain was like a seasoning to them, and then as soon as the cabin door opened, they boarded the planes one after another under the platoon commander's command.

Zhang Chi boarded one of the C47s with his command headquarters.

Given the danger possibly possed in this battle, Montgomery advised Zhang Chi not to go with his troops to Algeria.

Montgomery put it mildly.

"Major General!" Montgomery said: "I think a wise commander should be in the command to look at the bigger picture, because then you can think quietly and reflect on the problem, and it is very important for a commander to keep a clear head!" ”

"General!" Zhang Chi replied: "What you said may be true, but if a commander is out of the battlefield, it is no different from only mastering theoretical knowledge and not actually manipulating, in other words, if you only learn to swim on the shore, even if you keep a clear head, then what is the use?" ”

Zhang Chi is talking about the problem of real-time intelligence on the battlefield, and if the commander "sits firmly in the military tent" as Montgomery said, it will inevitably miss many fighters due to communications or other reasons, and even give wrong orders because they do not fully understand the situation...... This has been proven time and time again with President Chiang, and even Montgomery himself has had quite a few such mistakes.

Montgomery nodded when he heard this, and said: "I heard that Rommel is also like you, he likes to command soldiers on the front line, and I feel more and more that what Prime Minister Churchill said is right, you are like another Rommel!" ”

"No!" Zhang Chi replied: "I am me!" ”

"Yes, you are you!" Montgomery agreed, because if all went well, the Chinese major general in front of him would soon be able to defeat Rommel.

"Good luck!" Montgomery held out his hand.

"Good luck!" Zhang Chi replied.

……

When Zhang Chi was about to board the plane, he found a jeep coming at a hurry, jumped a familiar figure from the car, and as soon as he got out of the car, he anxiously went straight to the direction of Zhang Chi, shouting while running: "Zhang ...... Wait a minute! ”

It turned out to be Paige, and Zhang Chi couldn't help but look at Montgomery who came to see him off.

This was apparently arranged by Montgomery, otherwise it would have been impossible for Paige, as a journalist, to know when the take-off would have been.

"Oh!" Montgomery shrugged his shoulders and said, "I think this is the time to at least give you a little time to say goodbye!" ”

After a pause, Montgomery added: "Don't worry, I won't reveal any secrets, I will arrange for the guards to 'take care' of her during this time!" ”

With that, Montgomery and Ramsden walked away.

At this time, Zhang Chi couldn't help but feel a little grateful to Montgomery...... It seems that the gentlemanly demeanor of the British is not all bad.

Then Page threw himself into Zhang Chi's arms like he plunged into a pool: "You don't need this, Zhang ...... You don't need anything like that! ”

"What?" Zhang Chi didn't understand.

"You're here to save Henry, aren't you?" "I know, they said it might be dangerous, I wanted to know more, and they didn't want to say anything......," Page said.

"No, Peppa!" Zhang Chi replied: "I'm not doing this for Henry, I'm doing what I should do!" ”

Zhang Chi didn't want to lie to her, if it was personally, he would indeed choose to save Henry, but a unit under his command, a force that trusted him...... Therefore, Zhang Chi must consider everything for the troops.

But Page apparently didn't believe Zhang's words.

"I understand!" Page nodded: "Don't say it, don't say anything, I understand." I just want to tell you that both you and Henry are important to me and I want to lose neither of them! ”

Saying that, Page straightened his collar for Zhang Chi and said, "I'll wait for you to come back, okay?" ”

"General......" Staff Officer Liang urged at the door of the cabin: "The plane is about to take off!" ”

"I should go!" Zhang Chi reluctantly let go of Page.

The cold Page hugged Zhang Chi again, and before Zhang Chi could react, the warm lips had already covered him, and Zhang Chi kissed back reflexively, almost losing his instinctive hope for a little longer, a little longer......

It wasn't until the plane's engine had already made a "rumbling" sound that Zhang Chi had to let go of Page and quickly stepped onto the plane.

The plane soon caught up with him, and Paige, who kept waving goodbye, left behind, and his relaxed mood could not be calmed down after a long time.

At this time, Zhang Chi couldn't help but think about a question: If Page knew that this was a misunderstanding, would she still do this to herself?

Maybe, maybe not!

Zhang Chi didn't know the answer.

There is a saying that "a woman's heart is a needle", Zhang Chi can command Ruo Ding on the battlefield, and he can always guess the enemy's psychology and reaction, even if the opponent is Rommel who is known as the "Desert Fox".

However, he couldn't guess what Page was thinking or going to do.

Then Zhang Chi decided not to explain anything to Page if he could return from Algeria alive...... Because even if this is a misunderstanding, it is also a beautiful misunderstanding, and it can even be called romantic.
