The Binhe Ferry was quickly taken down.
This is not to say how brave the engineering corps can fight and how brave it is, but after the two high grounds on the left and right of the Binhe Ferry were occupied by the Engineer's Corps, the Binhe Ferry was completely under the control of the firepower of the Engineer's Corps, and it was completely impossible to defend it.
The Japanese army also knew this, so they took the initiative to withdraw from the Binhe Ferry.
Wang Mazi wanted to take advantage of the victory and pursue it... This is human nature, and it is also correct from a military perspective. For example, the new victory of the Engineer Corps is in full swing, and the Japanese army did not expect that the Binhe Ferry was lost so quickly, and the defense direction was not turned for the time being, so it was easy to be caught off guard, etc.
But Zhang Chi firmly opposed Wang Mazi's actions.
"Room seat!" Zhang Chi said: "The enemy situation on the other side of the Binhe River is unknown, and the combat effectiveness of the Engineer Corps is not strong. If you fight like this, you will likely suffer heavy casualties!"
"What is the situation unknown?" King Mazi disagreed with Zhang Chi's statement: "Sometimes when fighting wars are about quick decisions, the soldiers are the most important. Once we find out the situation, we are afraid that the fighter will be gone!"
What Wang Mazi said is of course right, but the problem is... General Sun Liren thought so in history, but he was quickly beaten back after taking advantage of the victory. With the combat effectiveness of the new 38th Division, he would be beaten back, which means that the Japanese army on the other side of the Binhe River was not unprepared, but on the contrary, they were still fully prepared.
After thinking about it, Zhang Chi said, "Tongzhang, we are helping the British fight. There is no need to take risks with our own people. You can use the British wherever you can..."
"Oh!" Wang Mazi suddenly realized his mind and nodded, saying, "It makes sense!"
So without saying a word, Wang Mazi hurriedly ran towards Qiao Kebadang with Zhang Chi and a few guards.
"Welcome to you, my Chinese allies!" Seeing Wang Mazi and others coming, Slim hurriedly smiled and greeted him: "You are fighting so beautifully, congratulations on your victory in the first battle!"
"I won't say much nonsense!" Wang Mazi even got a loud voice after winning a battle. He shouted at Slim with a headshot: "It's your turn now!"
Of course, Zhang Chi would not translate this way.
"General Slim!" Zhang Chi said to Slim: "We have solved most of the Japanese in this battle, and you have also seen that there are seven or eight hundred Japanese troops, and they have also occupied the Binhe Ferry. But now, our few troops are already defending near the Binhe Ferry, which makes us insufficient. In addition, our army does not have artillery cooperation, so it is difficult to launch an attack on the other side of the Binhe Ferry."
"Yeah!" Slim couldn't help but nodded repeatedly. Zhang Chi was right. It was indeed very difficult to cross the river without artillery and insufficient troops.
"Then..." Slim asked: "Do you need our artillery cooperation? No problem, I will order the artillery battalion immediately..."
"No! General Slim!" Zhang Chi interrupted Slim and said, "It's too late. The British artillery troops do not understand the tactics and charge speed of the Chinese team, and it is difficult to coordinate with each other. This is easy to cause accidental bombing and injury, and that is not what you and I want to see!"
Slim couldn't help but nodded again. This was common between the British and Burmese, British and Indian troops and British troops.
"On the other hand," Zhang Chi continued: "The Japanese army at this time may not have expected that the Binhe Ferry was occupied by our army so soon, so they were not prepared. I think the British army can organize an attack and attack Binhe and rescue the British army of Ren'anqiang in one fell swoop!"
Seeing Slim's hesitant look on his face, Zhang Chi smiled disdainfully: "The British team can't even do such a simple thing, right!"
Of course, Zhang Chi is using the provocation method.
"My friend..." Slim wanted to explain something, and Colonel Andy, who was hiding a few meters away, stood up.
"General!" said Colonel Andy: "I am willing to take my second regiment to carry out this mission!"
Colonel Andy glanced coldly at Zhang Chi and said, "What the Chinese can do, we British can do, too!"
Slim couldn't help but be stunned, then nodded helplessly and said, "So good! I will ask the Third Artillery Regiment to provide firepower support for you!"
"Yes!" Andy responded, and shouted to his subordinates not far away: "Hurry up, bring the troops here! Let's teach those Japanese a lesson!"
Andy actually had a partner who didn't say anything, that was to show the Chinese, and the British were not cowards.
Of course, Zhang Chi knew this, but what Andy didn't know was that Zhang Chi knew from the very beginning that the British could not defeat him at all... Sun Liren's new 38th Division could not defeat him, let alone the British army and other mobs.
Then the cannon sounded quickly, and more than fifty artillery pieces poured into pieces of shells on the other side of the Binhe River, only blew up the smoke on the other side of the Binhe River. After more than ten minutes of shelling, thousands of British and Burmese troops lined up under the cover of more than ten tanks to attack the other side.
The situation was huge, but Zhang Chi could still see the problem: the bombing point of the artillery was irregular, the far was too far and too close, which meant that the coordinates of the British artillery were unclear, and they almost shot the shells in the direction of the enemy and perfunctorily. The soldiers who launched the attack looked around timidly... They were not looking at the enemy's position opposite Binhe, but looking at the side. There was no need to say more about what they were looking at, that was to see that no one was going to escape first, and as long as one person escaped, they found a reason to escape.
It is obvious that Andy wants to regain some face in front of the Chinese, but his subordinates don’t buy it... Why use our lives to gild your face? In particular, most of them are Burmese soldiers who hate the British.
"Damn it!" Looking at the British and Burmese army's slow look, Wang Mazi couldn't help but curse: "Are the British fighting a war? It's like a snail crawling!"
Before he finished speaking, guns and cannons on the other side began to sound. The dense bullets fired a bunch of water in the river, knocking down the British and Burmese troops into the river. The shells exploded and pushed the British and Burmese troops high into the air. Several tanks even turned into a ball of fire before they could fire.
Then, without surprise, the British and Burmese troops immediately entered the program that had been prepared... retreated! It would be useless if Andy waved the revolver behind him and roared loudly.
Chapter completed!
