"Two days!" Elin Howell turned his eyes to Zhang Chi.

Zhang Chi knows what Eisenhower means.

I was worried about whether there was a "gap" before. If there was no "gap", I wouldn't have to think about anything and just land on the Japanese army... Although there would be many difficulties, there was no other way.

But now there is a "gap".

So the problem arose:

Is it enough for two days to land and gain a foothold?

How long will the storm last?

How did the Allies on the other side of the English Channel get supplies when the storm lasts?

...

All of this is a risk, because it is likely that the Allies will send large troops to land in France, but are blocked by the storm and face the fate of being surrounded and annihilated by the German army.

"Is this an opportunity or a trap?" Alexander said to himself.

It has to be admitted that Alexander's words are still very reasonable. It seems like an opportunity, but it can turn into a trap at any time, a trap that will cause the Allies to suffer a crushing defeat.

"What do you think, Major General!" Eisenhower asked.

Zhang Chi only said one sentence: "Do we have any other choice?"

Eisenhower nodded: "Yes, we have no choice!"

So the attack time was quickly settled, just two days later.

Because it is to seize the "gap" of the storm to implement login, the login plan has made some corresponding corrections, such as reducing the strength of the landing troops in the original plan and increasing the delivery of materials... Sometimes it is not that the more troops the better. For example, now, transporting more troops means that the more ammunition and food consumed will increase, while the space of the transport ship is fixed.

In other words, reducing troops can use the vacant space to load ammunition and food, which are necessary for landing troops to gain a foothold on the other side of the English Channel.

Otherwise, I really can't imagine how the American soldiers faced the German counterattack when there was insufficient ammunition.

Two days passed quickly, and the Meteorological Bureau's prediction was very accurate. The wind gradually dropped the evening before, and the rainfall gradually decreased. However, the English Channel was still rough... At least in Zhang Chi's opinion, the waves that were at least ten meters high looked quite scary. Zhang Chi couldn't imagine that the soldiers would cross the English Channel to fight on the other end in this situation.

However, the soldiers of the Zoafu Corps didn't seem to think there was anything... A considerable number of them grew up by the sea, and Algiers was a seaside city.

The light rain was still drizzling. Under the lights, teams of soldiers from the Zoafu Corps in raincoats lined up in neat formations on the shore, while on the other side were transport ships undulating with the waves in the port. A little further away were warships that had already been prepared.

For this battle, the Allied forces prepared more than 200 warships, including 143 British and Canadian troops, 83 American and French troops... The United States and French troops had even fewer warships because it was Britain. The British troops dispatched almost all mobilized warships to join the battle.

Although the British were not willing to engage in this battle, they would also invest hundreds of thousands of British troops on the other side. This alone would be enough to make Britain do its best.

"General!" Cookie ran to Zhang Chi and saluted, saying, "The soldiers want the general to speak for them!"

Zhang Chi nodded. This is a habit of Europe and the United States. Before going to war, he was accustomed to letting the superior say a few words to boost morale. Even when the battle was about to start, grassroots officers would say a few words temporarily.

Of course, the Zoaf Corps was not European and American, but they were French colonial troops, so they developed similar habits.

Zhang Chi took the trumpet and said to the soldiers of the Zoafu Army standing in the darkness and rain: "Soldiers, please believe that you are not going to fight independently. My troops and I will be prepared here. They are not only your spiritual support, but will also appear by your side to help you at any time. Believe in victory, they are right in front of you! Drive away those Germans and you will be free!"

"Turn away the Germans!"

“Get freedom!”

...

If there are many soldiers in the Zoafu Corps who are nervous, hearing Zhang Chi's words is like taking a reassurance... What they trust most is the Chinese troops, or rather the New First Division. This is not only the combat effectiveness shown by the New First Division on the battlefield, but also because they are students of the New First Division (the instructors are from the New First Division).

There is a saying that goes, "Asiders watch the fun, while those who are in charge look at the tricks."

Before, the Zoafu Corps was definitely an amateur in the army. Although they had been formed for many years and had some military training, their training was trained under French officers.

Because they are laymen, they take it for granted that fighting is nothing more than equipment and courage, and they just have a fierce attack and rush.

But after the training of Chinese instructors, they realized that there were so many "tricks" in war.

Then they would take it for granted: the Chinese instructors drawn from the New First Division are of this quality, so how good will the New First Division be? So they naturally regard the New First Division as a god-like existence.

At this time, when Zhang Chi said that the Chinese troops would become their backing, he immediately felt much more relieved and increased his confidence in winning... Wars are sometimes like this. If everyone thinks that this battle will be victorious, it is to rush ahead with the mentality of fighting achievements. If most people think that this battle will lose, they will subconsciously protect themselves and think about getting away.

But what Zhang Chi didn't know was that his words that originally wanted to inspire the morale of the Zoafu Army became a reality soon.

Cookie saluted Zhang Chi again and said, "General, I want to express my gratitude to you and your army again. Although most of us may not be able to come back, we and the people of Algeria will remember this kindness!"

Zhang Chi nodded to express his understanding. Cookie also knew the danger of this battle, so this could almost be said to be his last words.

"General, give orders!" Cookie said.

"Back on the ship!" Zhang Chi ordered.

“Back to the ship!”

“Back to the ship!”

...

The orders were passed one after another, and the soldiers of the Zoafu Corps walked along the boarding ladder in neat formations onto the transport ship. When they passed by Zhang Chi, they saluted Zhang Chi from time to time. There were so many of them, like rows of ants, that Zhang Chi could not even put down his hands when he returned to him.
