The British tank passed in front of the truck, pretending to be damaged, and had no intention of stopping. It's just that the commander of the tank used a flashlight to make a lot of noise about the truck, which had no bullet holes and couldn't see where it was damaged, and then sent a signal to the tank group behind, asking for a guard on the left and right sides. Immediately the rear tanks were divided into odd and even numbers, pointing the barrels to both sides. After all, it was a unit that had fought Tobruk, and it had some experience. However, their experience in dealing with German and Italian armored troops, will it still work in the face of the Japanese who are holding * and drilling under the car?

Two platoons of crusaders passed, and behind them were heavy Churchill tanks, which looked extremely stupid, but seemed to be thick and thick enough to resist beatings. Lin Xiuxuan estimated that this was the equipment of the 7th Armored Brigade that came ashore from Sittwe, but he didn't know too many details, and the history books didn't mention it. It seems that the British changed the classification of the original rigid cruiser tank and infantry tank. The combination of light and heavy tanks may have been enlightened by Rommel in North Africa and knew how to concentrate on the use of armored troops, but the combination of these two tanks is indeed a bit nondescript.

"Team leader, I think the British are guilty of the shaft." Qin Xiaosu, who was hiding on the side, said. The British tanks were very far apart, and every time a tank went away and the noise subsided, they could talk to each other.

"What do you think?"

"Look at the ugly one in the back, obviously slowing down the march."

Lin found that what Qin Xiaosu said was not bad.

A rumbling tank drove past them, the roar increased sharply, and the conversation between the two men paused. After waiting for a while, the engine noise gradually subsided.

"I know why the British were beaten up by the Japanese on bicycles, and that's what dragged them down. It slowed down the small tank in front of it. ”

Lin Xiuxuan's face was expressionless, noncommittal, but he didn't expect Qin Xiaosu to be quite sharp in analyzing the problem. Of course, it is too early to draw conclusions about the specific reasons, especially since history has undergone profound changes, and it is possible to win the war with one's own intervention.

The British drove through about 50 tanks, mainly composed of two types of British tanks, which were somewhat larger than the battalion size.

"Team leader, I don't see the situation behind me." Ma Qiang sent a report earlier.

"Let's go, go down and get the car up."

Lin Xiuxuan and Qin Xiaosu returned to the truck, drove it onto the road, and continued to drive east. He expected that the British were afraid of the Japanese air force and could only march at night, so there was a high probability that they would run into other units tonight. However, Qin Xiaosu can use the frequency sweeper to quickly discover the nearby communication channels and give early warnings, and it is not easy to deal with the technical equipment of the Japanese army with low communication capabilities in the past, and it is very useful to deal with the British army.

Sure enough, before dawn, they encountered another British tank column rushing to the road, but this time they were prepared and quickly hid in the fork in the road, not as embarrassed as they were just now.

In the past was another armoured regiment of the 7th Armoured Brigade: the 2nd Royal Armoured Regiment (this time the call sign was heard on the radio), which was obviously a main force, and it was one of the few units in the British Army to bear the royal title. Armed with two American tanks, the ugly Grant and the lightweight Stewart. Lin estimated that these 100 tanks were probably all the main armored forces on the Allied side; Of course, there seem to be some tank troops in the national army, but those things that are at best used to make up numbers are not on the table at all.

If Jiang Weiguo, who was 500 kilometers away, knew that someone dared to degrade the last bit of armor of the national army, he would definitely pull out his pistol and duel with this person.

At this moment, he was lying upright on the marching bed, looking forward to the iron horse Jingo. So far in the Anti-Japanese War, Lao Jiang has not allowed him to get close to the battlefield, he has been doing some ordinary statistical work in Hu Zongnan's first war zone, but he only feels that the whole world is fighting, and what he has learned in his life is useless. But the situation has been very different in the last two months, my father suddenly agreed to come to Myanmar to sharpen his skills, he knows that the reasons are not simple, maybe there is a sign of determination to the Americans, but this is not the point, the point is that he can finally drive the iron horse to gallop on the field. It's a pity that all the tanks that can be fought have been exhausted, and now the armored regiment is only in vain, replenishing a lot of wheeled armored vehicles. How to play majestic? It was a problem that he hadn't slept all night. If the head of Hu Xianqun knew that he thought so, he would probably have lost sleep all night.

In the distance, there was a movement of the changing of the guard of the sentry, and he sat up sharply and looked at his watch, there was still an hour before the trumpet sounded, but as a conscientious company commander, he had to prepare in advance. By the way, it is also necessary to set a rule for the deputy company commander, in this company, the commander must take the lead, get up an hour in advance to check the post, and check the work of the cooking squad.

He rolled over and got out of bed, dressed neatly, thinking that it would be interesting to wake up this guy Chu Tingchang from his dream with a knock on the door. His hostility towards the deputy company commander gradually subsided, but it did not prevent him from wanting to tease him.

He quietly walked to the door of the deputy company commander, and was about to knock on the door, but found that there was a faint light inside, which seemed to be dimmer than an oil lamp, and there were some subtle movements, what was he stirring?

"It's time, it's time to hit the road." He didn't think much of it, and just slammed the door.

"Who?" Chu Aiyun shouted vigilantly, he really didn't sleep.

"Who else but me?"

"Oh, it's the company commander, I thought it was ......" The voice inside was relieved, Chu Aiyun took three steps to the door to open the door and saluted the second son.

"Pavilion Chief, who do you think it is?"

"I thought there was a fire somewhere." Chu Aiyun hurriedly prevaricated; His first feeling just now was that he really thought that the military commander rushed in and was going to send him on his way. It's something he dreads every day.

"You just had a flashlight, didn't you?"

"Uh, yes, I suddenly remembered that there was something wrong with our route, so I got up and checked the dot map."

The co-captain quickly pulled out a flashlight from under the covers, which he had hidden on the side to cover up every time he checked the glowing radio.

"It didn't disappoint me." Jiang Weiguo saw the map on the table, as well as the map tube.

"Why don't you turn on the lights and act like a thief?"

"It's easy to be spotted by enemy planes when you turn on the lights, so you use a flashlight."

Chu Aiyun's answer was simply watertight, and it was all deduced by him in advance.

"Well, your housekeeping is good," Jiang Weiguo didn't pick out some faults, he was really a little uncomfortable, but the deputy captain's quilt was stacked with edges and corners, and the mosquito nets were neatly organized, so I really couldn't find faults, "Deputy Lian, you really impress me, you ...... The quilt is folded, not like the common people. ”

"You have been promoted, and the pavilion chief does not dare to slack off in the slightest on weekdays, and strives to meet the standards of revolutionary soldiers in all aspects."

"Let's go, let's go to the room."

The two walked side by side to the brightly lit room in the distance, and it could be seen that Jiang Weiguo was in a good mood. When I walked past that row of tanks, I deliberately bent down and touched the turret (the tanks were too small)

"Look at it every year, the room doesn't pay attention to air defense, and the lights are bright."

"Yes, company commander."

"What's for breakfast today?"

"It's a bun."

From afar, I heard people talking in the room.

"Why did the squad leader chop the minced meat early this morning, and there was meat for breakfast?"

"Fool, you don't know who the new company commander is?"

"Who is it? Didn't you say that Captain Hu was a relative? ”

"Hehe, how old is Captain Hu? I have a fellow in the staff, guess what he said? ”

"How?"

"He said, your company is waiting to enjoy the blessings, from today onwards, there will be meat to eat every day, and there is no need to go to the front line, what do you say the new company commander is coming from?"

"It can't be, Commander Du's relatives, right?"

Jiang Weiguo suddenly stopped, his face was happy just now, and he turned gloomy.

"Disappointing, don't go, go back."

He turned around and left, and Chu Aiyun could only follow. He knew that Jiang might not be angry because of the leak, he didn't care that anyone knew his identity, but those veteran ruffians thought that there was no need to fight if he was there, which really hurt his self-esteem. He hates people more than anything about thinking he's just here to put on a show.

Six hours later, it was dawning. The reconnaissance company and repair company of the separate tank regiment of the 5th Army had already boarded the train and were heading south. There was a British army waiting at the railway station, and I heard that there was an armored unit to move, and the British army was also fully prepared, but I didn't expect that the equipment of the Chinese armored troops was extremely small, and two wooden planks could be driven on the board car by themselves. The British thought that the Chinese could not understand English, so they pointed to the side, some people said that those Italian imitation of Cardenroyd rammed goods, in North Africa by Ethiopian cavalry killed a lot, some said, it was the first time to see armored soldiers wearing straw shoes, all yellow muscles, and jumping burdens, simply a beggar army. Of course, Chu Aiyun and Jiang Weiguo can understand it, which is really enough to disappoint the fun. The soldiers were in high spirits, glad that the new company commander was there, and the food standard was increased from then on.

Xiao Jiang sat in the officer's car, watching the train slowly crawl through the mountains, looking listless, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

There was a volley of gunshots in the distance, which woke him up from his trance, and he subconsciously touched the pistol.

"What's going on? Is it the Deqin Party? ”

"Don't be nervous, this is the 96th Division Defense Area," Chu Aiyun on the other side hurriedly reassured, "The gunfire is neat, it is definitely not a local rebel, it should be a shooting bandit spy." ”

"Are you sure?" Xiao Jiang asked nervously, yesterday he was still pretending to be a professional soldier in front of Chu Aiyun, and he was a little timid at this time.

"Sure, I shoot several waves every day, and I've seen a lot."

Sure enough, as the train slowly passed by the edge of a row of low woods, dead people could be seen lying on the ground, the firing squad was smoking cigarettes on the side, and a sergeant in a steel helmet carried a Mauser pistol to examine the dead bodies and find those who were not natural enough to make up for a few shots. It was almost impossible to get by playing dead in the hands of the 5th Army firing squad.

"And a monk in a robe?"

"Yes, most of the backbone of the Burmese independence elements are monks, and the infiltration method of the southern organs mainly starts with the temples. This is what Director Chen said. ”

"Chen Zhiping?"

"Yes. Originally, the Yangon station was able to rely on overseas Chinese to obtain intelligence, but the Japanese instigated the local natives to massacre overseas Chinese, destroying the entire environment, and the information obtained by Director Chen became less and less every month, and it became more and more inaccurate. ”

"Yes, then we have a great responsibility."

"But after all, there is still a difference between us and the intelligence system, and what the enemy is doing in the rear, our reconnaissance troops cannot inquire." He said cautiously, hoping to give Xiao Jiang eye medicine first.
