Chapter four hundred and seventy fourth lecture
"Colin!" Walking into the command center, as soon as I picked up the phone to indicate my identity, Halsey asked on the phone: "Are you okay? What did you give birth to?"
"I'm fine, general!" Zhang Chi replied: "You know, it's something about Principal Jiang's struggle for power and profit... They don't want to hand over the command power to me just like this!"
"These bastards!" Halsey cursed.Ω
"Thank you for everything you did, General!"
"This is what it should be!" Halsey replied: "Even if I am not on the standpoint of your friend, as an American general, I should do so!"
After pausing, Halsey said, "I think you should come back, Colonel, Rabaul is not safe for the time being!"
Zhang Chi couldn't help but smile bitterly. If it wasn't safe to stay in Rabaul, would it be necessary to fight the next battle?
"I can't go back for the time being, General!" Zhang Chi replied.
"Why?"
"You know..." Zhang Chi said: "Our plan requires troops like Rabaul."
"I was still thinking about whether to return these troops to another batch!" Halsey said.
"No, we don't have that much time!"
"Yeah!" Halsey also knew this: "But... can you still believe them? Or are they still worthy of your belief?"
Zhang Chi knows what Halsie means. If something like this happens once, it is hard to guarantee that there will be no second time. Next time, Zhang Chi may not be so lucky.
"I think I can!" Zhang Chi replied: "This is also the reason why I need to stay in Rabaul for a while!"
"Well!" Halsey on the other end of the phone dipped for a while, and replied: "Although I don't agree with this, I respect your ideas. If you have any need, tell Colonel Wilson, he will do everything possible to meet the requirements of you or your troops!"
"Okay, thank you General!"
After putting down the phone, Zhang Chi just picked up the coffee delivered by the orderly officer and took a few sips of it, then said to Colonel Wilson: "Col. Wilson, arrange a car to take me back!"
"What? Now? Are you going back like this?" Wilson felt a little unbelievable: "Col. Zhang, we finally got you out. You have to know... those who are not good for you may not have been cleared yet, and they may even still be holding the military power of the Sixth Army!"
"I know!"
"Then... I suggest you wait until the situation stabilizes before going!"
"No!" Zhang Chi replied: "I believe them!"
Wilson looked at Zhang Chi for a while, then nodded and said, "I will prepare a team of guards for you right away! They will protect your safety..."
"No!" Zhang Chi refused, "Thank you very much, Colonel Wilson. But I only need a driver and a car!"
Wilson was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled and said, "Yes, this is Zhang Chi, it's good!"
So Zhang Chi took a jeep and returned to the barracks of the Sixth Army and the New Seventh Army alone.
At this time, the two divisions of the Sixth Army were gathered on the playground. More than 20,000 people were densely packed, and the guns had been taken down and placed neatly in front. The soldiers of the New Seventh Army were guarding the surroundings with live ammunition, while Wang Mazi was jumping on the stage and thunderously speaking at the officers and soldiers of the Sixth Army.
As he was talking, he saw Zhang Chi parked by the playground with one car and one car. Wang Mazi couldn't help but be stunned and hurriedly walked off the stage to ask Zhang Chi: "Why are you here? I'm here!"
"Military, are you..." Zhang Chi looked at the scene.
"These bitches are raised!" Wang Mazi cursed: "Let's treat them as their own people, they turn around and arrest us. If it weren't for the Americans... today we're all our lives in their hands! I'll check them one by one..."
"Military!" Zhang Chi pulled Wang Mazi aside and said, "They also obeyed the orders... Moreover, the brothers of the Sixth Army who finally rescued us were the brothers of the Sixth Army!"
"You can't just let it go!" Wang Mazi said: "What if there are people here who want to rebel?"
"What military captain means, do we even kill them or send them back?" Zhang Chi asked back: "We are still counting on them to fight back to the Northeast with us!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Mazi couldn't help but be speechless.
When encountering this situation, it is really difficult for both sides to be in trouble.
"Let me try!" Zhang Chi looked at Wang Mazi.
"As long as you do, you can do whatever you want!" Wang Mazi nodded.
The first thing Zhang Chi did when he walked onto the training platform was to order the soldiers of the New Seventh Army around the playground: "Everyone has it, put away the gun!"
The soldiers of the New Seventh Army were stunned when they heard this, but because the person who ordered was Zhang Chi, they obeyed the order and put away the gun and stood aside.
"Brothers!" Zhang Chi said to the soldiers of the Sixth Army: "After coming to Rabaul, I have always wanted to say to you... I've met you again!"
"But I didn't have to hurry to say..." Zhang Chi spread his hands helplessly: "Your Commander Huo is so enthusiastic that he has to treat me alone in the secret room for a few days before he can be content. Isn't this... I can't stand here and talk to everyone until now!"
With a "coaxing", the soldiers couldn't help laughing, and the clouds that had just covered their faces quickly swept away.
"Do you know why I said 'Meet you again'?" Zhang Chi asked.
"I know!" A soldier from the audience shouted: "Second, we have fought the Japanese in Myanmar together!"
"Yes!" Zhang Chi pointed to the soldier and replied, "It's right! We fought the Japanese in Myanmar together... At that time, I was still a squad leader, the squad leader of the 7th squad of the 1st battalion of the 2O Division, the squad leader of the 7th squad of the 3rd platoon of the 1st Battalion of the 2nd Division. We guard Tonggu, you guard Jingdong, Mangshi, and the Eastern Front, that's right!"
"I'll guard Jingdong!"
"I am guarding Mangshi!"
...
Zhang Chi nodded and said, "Brothers, it's not easy for us to get to this day! Our commander was General Dai Anlan and died. I remember that there was a comrade named Sun Yonghao... He died to save me, and there were Wu Zhuxing, Zhang Xue'an, and many more. Before I even had time to remember my names, they fell at the gun of the Japanese! I believe you are the same. Although we won the battle and you were defeated... But the sacrificed brothers are the same!"
As he said that, the soldiers couldn't help but nodded slightly. Until now, what soldiers would have fallen without comrades around him?
"Why?" Zhang Chi asked: "Brothers, I just want to ask you, why do we fight for our own death when facing such a powerful enemy of the Japanese devils? We also have to destroy the Great Wall for the sake of power, and even point the gun at the brothers who share weal and woe with us!"
The soldiers of the Sixth Army couldn't help but lower their heads.
Chapter completed!
