Chapter 736 The situation has changed

The battlefield soon became a boil. Whether it was the South African soldiers or the Chinese soldiers, they hugged each other and cheered and jumped. Many South African soldiers still remained unchanged in bad habits, and they were holding guns and hitting them in the sky... This is a habit of South African soldiers celebrating victory, but this habit has always been considered by the British army as barbarians, so they are explicitly prohibited.

But as mentioned before, the characteristic of Africans is that they are more casual. They forget the orders given to them by the front foot, and they will do whatever they should do. In addition, the South African soldiers were all ecstatic after winning the battle, and they had long since thrown the British orders out of the sky.

Later, this situation became uncontrollable, that is, African soldiers and even Africans increasingly supported the Chinese troops' willingness to obey the Chinese command and refused to implement the orders of British officers.

This is actually easy to understand, because whether it is for public or private, getting close to the Chinese army is more beneficial to Africa.

Yu Gong, whether British or German, was just to compete for Africa's colonial rights, and the Chinese army as a third party had no such intention at all, so the Chinese army obviously could reassure Africa.

In private, what the Chinese army did has long won the trust of African soldiers.

The characteristic of the more primitive tribes of African soldiers is that once they win their trust, they will treat you as their own people, and they will also be paranoid that you will stand stubbornly with you regardless of whether you are right or wrong. Because they believe that if the same happens, the Chinese army will do the same.

From this point of view, African soldiers are still very cute, at least much better than those British officers who are cunning and arrogant, who only care about interests.

For this reason, a tribal leader meeting was held within the African soldiers.

This is also one of the characteristics of African soldiers. Although they are institutionally responsible for British officers commanding the grassroots South African officers and the grassroots South African officers commanding their subordinates, in fact, they still follow the old tribal system in private, and tribes often fight between them... This is another reason for the poor combat effectiveness of the 1st Division of South Africa. There are only more than 10,000 people in one division, and there are hundreds of complex tribes. These tribes each have their own interests and contradictions, so it is difficult to integrate them into an army.

It is precisely because of this that the victory on the Alexandria defense line was surprising, and even the South African soldiers themselves could not believe that they could defeat the powerful Germans.

"Why do you believe in Chinese?" asked a pro-British South African tribe leader.

After a moment of silence, a tribal leader replied: "Because they were sent by gods to protect Africa, they are different from the British!"

The leaders of other tribes nodded in agreement.

It seems that Toure's publicity is deeply rooted in people's hearts, at least South Africans believe it.

Then other tribe leaders expressed their views, and these views were strange and even hilarious:

"Because they are not as white as the British!"

Africans hate white people because all white people bring them is slavery and disaster.

"Because their witchcraft is amazing!"

Just as the South African soldiers saw, the Chinese only needed a trench to defeat the Germans equipped with planes, cannons and a large number of tanks.

"The Chinese can lead us to victory!"

This is very convincing, because before that, the 1st Division of South Africa had never achieved such a brilliant victory as the Battle of Alexandria, and had not even united before, but now it has inexplicably united and defeated the powerful enemy with the Chinese.

Many African soldiers believe that this is the magic of the Chinese or it can also be said to be witchcraft.

Finally, Disoya spoke: "I believe in the Chinese because they will not let us die in front of us!"

DiSoya's words immediately aroused a lot of consent.

"They will not wait for us now!"

The leaders of each tribe nodded in agreement.

"They even rushed to the front with bayonets. Have you seen any troops like them?"

So the others had nothing to say. There were so many troops in the Commonwealth Army, and no unit had ever had such a thing.

This is exactly very similar to the South African tribes, because their tribal leaders often have to rush forward when fighting.

This meeting led to a consensus among South African tribes or South African soldiers that the Chinese army is credible and can fight together.

This also created a crisis, a "real crisis" for Montgomery's subsequent command.

Of course, these are all later stories.

While the Expeditionary Force and the South African Army were still cheering on the battlefield, news came that the Yi 133 Panzer Division had announced its surrender... This was actually long as Zhang Chi expected. In fact, the Chinese army has always refused to allow the Yi 133 Division to surrender, otherwise they would have collapsed long ago.

On the other hand, Yi 133 wanted to wait and see if the German army could defeat the Chinese army and "rescue" them.

The current situation is that the German army not only failed to rescue the Italian army, but was defeated by the Chinese army. So when will it take forever to surrender?!

At this time, Zhang Chi once again learned about the Italians' ability to "talk seriously and nonsense".

"General!" Litorio, the commander of the Italian Armored Division, raised his head and said to Zhang Chi with a righteous heart: "Please accept my respect for you. We are convinced by defeating such an excellent opponent as you!"

Zhang Chi couldn't help but open her mouth for a long time and couldn't close it. Litorio's appearance and tone seemed to have ended his ammunition and food after a hard and bloody battle, but the fact is...

Zhang Chi just shook his head. He didn't want to argue with these Italians because he thought it was meaningless.

Zhang Chi really looked down on these Italians because this is the law of the battlefield. Only by daring to sacrifice and bleed on the battlefield can one win the respect of friendly forces and enemies.

This is a very simple truth, but some people just don't understand.

"Major General!" Then Zhang Chi received a call from Montgomery: "Congratulations, what a wonderful battle, you won a complete victory!"

"It's us, general!" Zhang Chi replied: "I must admit that the 1st Division of South Africa gave us great help at a critical moment, and I didn't even have any hope for them before!"

"I was surprised too!" Montgomery said: "I was about to ask, what magic did you use to make them act so brave! It seems you don't know either!"

"Then..." Zhang Chi asked: "Should we attack?"
