"Kill!" Zhang Chi also followed the team and rushed to the sand dunes. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Major William, Brigadier General Jack and other British officers in the back, and even all the African soldiers of the 1st South African Division were stunned by the scene in front of them.

There are two things they find incredible:

One is that they didn't expect that the Chinese army would choose to charge at this time, the enemy is an armored division, and it is a tank and an armored vehicle, and the infantry rushes up to the enemy's steel collision?

The other is Zhang Chi, as a general, but like a soldier, he fights the enemy hand-to-hand with a bayonet?

Compared with the former, the latter is even more incredible to the Commonwealth troops, because the "officers" of the Commonwealth Army are all high up and hiding behind the command, especially the South African 1st Division...... To be precise, British officers in any colony to any colonial army is a condescending attitude, especially to the soldiers of the South African 1st Division, what is the reason for this, it is needless to say, naturally it contains the reason for racial discrimination, in this era, the phenomenon of white people looking down on colored people is very common, especially blacks, for example, in the eyes of American officers, the status of the black army is naturally ranked behind the Chinese army.

At this time, for countries such as Britain and the United States, blacks were almost a symbol of slaves.

And this kind of discrimination will naturally be brought to the South African 1st Division by the British, and even British officers are unwilling to serve in the South African 1st Division, so the commander of the South African 1st Division, Jack, has the rank of "brigadier general".

At the same time, this is one of the reasons for the extremely poor combat effectiveness of the 1st South African Division...... The British officers did not treat them as human beings, so why did they have to work for the British?

Even a considerable number of South African soldiers have become accustomed to being ruled in this way, and have taken all kinds of injustices for granted.

But now, the South African soldiers saw a Chinese general, those Chinese generals who could be on an equal footing with the British, and even British officers such as Brigadier General Jack, commander of the 1st South African Division, had to obey his orders, but rushed to the front of the team with bayonets like a soldier, which shocked them and could be said to have completely changed their outlook on life and the world...... They suddenly discovered that not all officers were on top, and not all officers would only command them to die from behind.

Especially these Chinese soldiers, this strange Chinese unit, what the hell is going on with them?

In the past, any unit that cooperated with the South African 1st Division would first send the South African 1st Division to the front as cannon fodder, but the Chinese army rushed to the front by itself, even in the most dangerous time now, the South African 1st Division was always arranged in a safer second line!!

In fact, this is not that Zhang Chi does not want to, but that Zhang Chi knows that the combat effectiveness of the South African 1st Division is extremely poor, so he has no hope for them at all.

Just like Zhang Chi's previous positioning for the South African 1st Division, it is almost the same if it can transport supplies and dig trenches.

Zhang Chi's thought was that since the South African 1st Division could not play a role, why should they be driven to the battlefield to die?

Unexpectedly, Zhang Chi's unintentional thoughts caused subtle changes in the psychology of those South African soldiers.

Of course, there are also people like De Soya and Toure who played a role in this.

Di Soya had been fighting with the Chinese troops for some time, and when he talked to the South African soldiers of the South African 1st Division, he would inadvertently pass on what he had seen and heard in the Chinese troops to the South African 1st Division...... To be precise, this is not entirely inadvertent, Di Soya and others are showing off to the officers and soldiers of the 1st Division in South Africa.

There are many things to show off, such as how he followed the Chinese troops in the battle of Maherama, and how the Chinese army humiliated the British officers and soldiers of Maherama and took back command from them......

This may not seem like much to brag about, but it was definitely a top priority for the South African soldiers, even more than the Battle of Maherama itself.

There is no other reason, it is a British officer! The British officers who usually beat and scolded the South African soldiers from above and did not treat the South African soldiers as human beings, they were completely deflated at the hands of the Chinese!!

It's so good, it's really happy.

As a matter of course, this paragraph quickly spread throughout the 1st Division in South Africa and became a "legend", and it was also spread more and more exaggerated.

What's more, De Soya is still showing off the respect he has received in the Chinese army, such as the food he gets the same as that of Chinese officers, and he can even eat with Chinese officers!

It is true that the Chinese military is one of the least racist, and quite a few of them do not even know what "racism" is. It is also strange why Americans, British, look down on blacks.

Is it because he is white?

Of course, there are still many people in the Chinese army who look down on the South African 1st Division, but that is not because of the color of their skin, but because they can't fight.

As a soldier, the soldier of the expeditionary force only looked down on those who could not fight, who were undisciplined, and who were greedy for life and death, whether white or black.

Conversely, as long as they can fight and win wars, both whites and blacks can win the respect of the soldiers of the expeditionary force.

The respect that Desoyer said seemed normal to the Chinese soldiers, and when they were training in Burma, they didn't discriminate against Indians, black Americans, or Burmese, and they certainly don't discriminate against South Africans now.

But these are terrible things in the eyes of the South African soldiers: What's going on? Can the Chinese army take command from the white British, but treat the South African soldiers equally?

As a result, the Chinese troops naturally won the respect and favor of the South African soldiers.

As for Toure, he even took advantage of his own expertise as a witch doctor, and made a foolish noise, saying that the German and Italian armies were demons who wanted to invade Africa and their homeland, and that the Chinese army was a messenger sent by the gods to protect the South Africans...... So it put a layer of mystery on the Chinese army.

In addition, what the Chinese army is doing seems to be very much in line with the identity of "messengers of the gods...... As I said before, the South African soldiers will even be involved in witchcraft if the bullets can hit the other side, but the Chinese army can stubbornly hold the defense line under the all-out attack of German planes, artillery, tanks, etc.

Not only was it possible to hold the defensive line but also inflict very heavy losses on the Germans, which was unimaginable in the eyes of the South African soldiers, and what other explanation could there be than witchcraft?

At this time, seeing that the Chinese army would rather rush up and fight the German tanks hand-to-hand than send the South African soldiers first, he was even more moved.
