Zhang Chi has low requirements for the 1st Division of South Africa.

In fact, Zhang Chi had no requirements for the 1st Division of South Africa.

For example, seeing a war is coming, Zhang Chi's order to the 1st Division of South Africa is not only "rest" but also "rest".

This made Brigadier General Jack and other British officers working in the 1st South African Division unable to understand.

People often do this again. With the inertia of the 1st Division of South Africa, if Zhang Chi arranges a task in a 28th quarter, I am afraid that the 1st Division of South Africa will be ruthless from top to bottom... This is determined by the morale of the 1st Division of South Africa. This unit has never fought any decent battles since its establishment. In the Commonwealth Army, it has always been criticized, and its equipment and supplies have been finally allocated, so that their rifles are not even fully equipped.

However, this cannot be blamed on the British. South African soldiers are really too "rough" in using guns. For example, they will use guns as crutches, and even use fire sticks. They will throw them into the sand next to them when they sleep... As for brushing guns, it is not the specialty of South African soldiers.

So the rifles always malfunctioned one by one, and later the British army stopped doing it... They couldn't fight anything in a war, but they used twice or even more guns than other troops. They simply provided them with quantitative supplies and let them do it themselves.

This feedback made the South African soldiers, and the British officers of the 1st South African Division also felt that this unit was in a mess, so they all lived a life of trashing their cans and giving up.

Therefore, the purpose of South Africa's 1 teacher from top to bottom is four words: to make things happen.

But now, Zhang Chi's orders to "rest" again and again made Brigadier General Jack feel sad.

One day he summoned a meeting of British officers from the 1st Division of South Africa and said to them: "Gentlemen, don't you find it strange?"

"Yes, Brigadier General!"

"That Chinese general only lets us rest!"

“Isn’t this great?”

...

"It's really good!" Jack replied, "But why?"

The officers looked at me and I looked at you. Of course they didn't know the intention of the Chinese general to do this. Others always shouted at the 1st Division of South Africa and emphasized quality and training over and over again, while the Chinese general did the opposite.

"Think about it, gentlemen!" Brigadier General Jack said: "Chinese Generals, they will not care about the lives of us British officers, and of course they will not care about the lives of those South African soldiers..."

"The brigade general means..." Then an officer reacted: "You mean... the Chinese general is ready to let us go to the battlefield to die?"

Brigadier Jack nodded and said, "Only this can explain that he doesn't care about our training, right?"

"No, we can't let them do this!"

"Of course he can!" Brigadier Jack replied: "You forgot that he is our commander!"

"We have to stop him!"

"How to stop it?" asked Brigadier General Jack.

"We go to report to General Montgomery!"

"What to report?" Zhang Chi asked: "Report to the Chinese General to let us rest without training?"

The officers couldn't help but remain silent.

It took a long time before a voice asked, "Brother General, what should we do?"

"There is only one way now!" Brigadier Jack replied: "Train the troops in your hands so that you can hope to save your life!"

Finally, Brigadier Jack added: "Listen, this time is not a joke!"

So beyond everyone's expectations, including Zhang Chi, the 1st Division of South Africa entered training in an unprecedented state of mind. Even Brigadier General Jack personally mediated and transferred a batch of rifles and machine guns to update the troops' equipment.

In fact, the British officers are a bit "judging the gentleman's ambition with a villain's heart". The reason why Zhang Chi asked the 1st South African Division to rest was, on the one hand, because he wanted the 1st South African Division to do very simple things, that is, transporting supplies and building fortifications for the New Division. This is the strength of the South African soldiers living in the desert.

On the other hand, it is because there are too many spies installed or bought by Germans in the South African Division. If Zhang Chi had too much training, he would undoubtedly disclose more information to the German army.

No wonder British officers think so. They always treat the colonial army as cannon fodder. This time, they will certainly worry about being treated as completely cannon fodder by the Chinese.

However, it is of course a good thing for South Africa's 1st Division to be willing to train. Before the war, she sweats more and she bleed less during the war, so Zhang Chi is too lazy to care about them.

A few days later, Montgomery called Zhang Chi: "Major General, are you all ready?"

"The hunting is about to begin, right?" Zhang Chi asked.

Montgomery's image calls this aggression operation "hunting operation."

"Yes!" Montgomery replied.

Because the situation in Malta is getting more and more tense, the earlier the "hunting operation" begins, the more beneficial it will be to the Commonwealth Army.

"Then let's start!" Zhang Chi said: "We're ready!"

So the plan was launched that night... a defensive circle outside Alexandria retreated, and the Italians didn't even notice it, which forced a unit of the 50th Infantry Division of the British Army stationed there to make some sound with tanks.

Then the Italians who reacted to the sudden death brought a few flares to the point where they found that the British army was retreating.

But the Italian army was still very cautious. They were worried that this was a trap carefully set for them, so they waited until dawn to send troops to occupy it... Usually, in such a situation, it should be to send small troops to reconnaissance, but no one dared to take risks easily in the dark, so even if a small unit was sent, it would be difficult to implement it.

At the same time, Italian military officers have sufficient reasons: if the British really retreated, they would not come back even the next day during the day. If it were the traps they set, then they might have been in vain.

This seems to make sense, so the Yijun does not need to rush for a while.

The next day, after a firepower reconnaissance, the Italian army mustered up the courage to send scouts. Only then did they realize that the enemy had indeed retreated, so the follow-up troops rushed forward like a tide... The Italian army was undoubtedly very talented in both escaping and robbing merits.

Then the Yijun excitedly told their commander Marshal Cavallo.

Of course, they would not say that the position was voluntarily abandoned by the British, but instead made a big splash, saying how brave they fought and how much they paid to eventually repel the enemy...
