The leader was a British major. He had a mustache, a big-brimmed hat unique to British officers, a hot military uniform, leather boots, a pistol on the right side of his waist, and a sword hanging on the left, looking majestic.
"Hey, you guys!" the major walked up and shouted in English to Zhang Chi and others: "Are you from the First Engineer Regiment?"
The British army seemed to have made sufficient preparations this time. As soon as the major finished speaking, a British army flashed next to him and shouted in stiff Chinese: "Major Eble asked, are you from the First Engineer Regiment?"
No one paid attention to them, and the hooligan even "drinks" indecently and spits a mouthful of phlegm on the ground.
It’s no wonder that the soldiers have such a performance... On the battlefield, everyone respects people who can fight and can fight, but they know that the British are just cowards who are well-dressed but can only stab their allies in their bones. In addition, the British are here to receive their equipment, so of course they won’t give them a good look.
But the British major was still ignorant. He shouted at the expeditionary soldiers with a arrogant attitude: "I order you to hand over your weapons!"
As he said that, he waved his hand and asked his subordinates to come up and seize the gun.
Zhang Chi's self-esteem was suddenly hurt by the British major's behavior. You should know that the British army came to receive equipment, and this batch of equipment was thrown to the Japanese after the British army was defeated and the Expeditionary Force snatched it from the Japanese.
Anyone with a little shame should know that it is undoubtedly a shame for the British army to "receive" this batch of equipment in this situation.
But the British not only did not feel ashamed, but instead treated the Chinese as their prisoners and took the guns... Who do they think they were?!
"Prepare for the battle!" Zhang Chi shouted, and the soldiers stood up and picked up their guns.
A fast-moving British army was about to reach out to grab the gun but was knocked to the ground by a hooligan.
Seeing this, the British and Burmese army was shocked and retreated and picked up the gun to organize defense. However, these British and Burmese army were of course not information for war. They were all panicked at the guns of the Expeditionary Army soldiers. Several of them even dropped magazines to the ground, causing laughter from the Expeditionary Army soldiers.
Looking at the majestic major, he had already hid behind several soldiers and lost his temper.
"Major Erwin!" Zhang Chi said to the officer in English: "This batch of equipment was stolen from the Japanese. You should have asked the Japanese for it if you wanted it! But the soldiers took obedience to orders as their duty. Since Shangfeng decided to return this batch of equipment to you, we will naturally obey the orders. But as a soldier, please ask Major Erwin to at least have some common sense. At this time, you should go through the handover procedures, and then the Shangfeng ordered us to hand over the weapons!"
After Zhang Chi said this, Elvin's face turned red and white, especially when Zhang Chi said these words in English. Many British officers present could understand it, and even some Burmese soldiers could understand it. It was undoubtedly slapped him hard in front of his subordinates.
"Soldier!" Major Elvin couldn't lose this face, so he mustered up the courage to shout, "You also know that soldiers have the duty to obey orders, so what are you doing now? Disobey orders?!"
In some ways, what Major Elvin said is indeed correct. China and Britain are allies, and Major Elvin's rank is much higher than Zhang Chi, so Zhang Chi naturally has to obey Ervin's orders.
But Zhang Chi was not frightened by Major Elvin. He smiled and replied: "Soldiers must obey orders, but... we can choose not to obey the orders of an officer who only escapes on the battlefield, right? We even have the power to arrest or shoot the officer on the spot. I wonder if the major agrees?"
In this way, Major Erwin had nothing to say, because he was from the Second Royal Tank Regiment of the Seventh Armored Brigade, and he was among the people who had left their armor and escaped on the Wajie Bridge that day.
"What are you doing?" At this time, Wang Mazi hurried up to block the two armies, and then ordered Zhang Chi and others sternly: "Let them all down!"
"Yes!" the soldiers responded, and then they put down their guns unwillingly.
"Major Erwin!" Wang Mazi said to the British officer: "We have been waiting for a long time, please come here!"
Major Elvin then glared at Zhang Chi and ordered the British and Burmese troops to put away their guns.
Although Wang Mazi seemed to be vicious to the warriors on the surface, when passing by Zhang Chi, he lowered his voice and said, "Good job! Damn it, he can be considered a breath for us!"
Then there was a long hour of waiting. Zhang Chi knew that this was Wang Mazi and others making their last effort. He hoped that the British army could only take away heavy equipment such as tanks and armored vehicles to leave Enfield and provide ammunition for the engineering regiment.
This requirement should be said to be reasonable. The Chinese helped the British army to regain so much equipment. The heavy equipment can be returned to you. Even if it is replaced, it can be replaced with rifles and ammunition!
But the British army was obviously not interested in this suggestion, and an hour later he heard the orders and passed them down: "Everyone has it, hand over the weapons!"
The soldiers lined up, piled up rifles and bullets in front of the cars one by one, and then Burmese soldiers packed the weapons and carried them onto the cars. Tanks and armored vehicles in the jungle also drove out one by one, and then lined up to replace the British crew in an orderly manner.
Maybe the British army was worried that there were too many dreams at night, or maybe the British and Burmese soldiers looked at the soldiers of the Expeditionary Army, worried that there would be unexpected events, so they moved quickly, and packed them in a few seconds. They just waited for Major Erwin to get off the convoy and set off.
But at this moment, a "whip" sound came from the sky, and a plane flew over the jungle.
Needless to think, it must be a Japanese plane. The British plane was almost bombed by the Japanese army during the Battle of the ancient times, and the remaining few planes did not dare to fight and flew back to India directly. So at this time, the sky in Myanmar was full of Japanese.
Zhang Chi smiled and said to Major Elvin who was looking into the sky: "I have to remind you that such a large convoy is easy to be bombed by Japanese troops when driving on the road during the day!"
Major Elvin knew this, of course, as he wanted to show off his strength, but a whistle from the sky broke the idea. He would rather choose to stay in this jungle than go out and be bombed by Japanese planes. After all, it would be a matter of losing his life.
