Although the British army was annihilated layer by layer, it still stubbornly resisted the British army. A sniper was cleverly concealed, causing many casualties in the Chinese regiment. The grenade, rocket launcher and mortar of the Chinese regiment have all been tried, and the ammunition point is still removed.
Battalion commander of the 3rd Battalion has just returned from the guard company. Tugen is a member of the guard company, and the guards of the guard company give people the impression that all of them are extraordinary people with magical marksmanship.
But in the end, the melon came up with an idea. He climbed to the roof cross and saw the sniper pistol hurt his leg and suppressed the sniper. Then more soldiers rushed out and cut the sniper into pieces.
In the evening, the news that the 33rd Regiment in Zhang Yiping headquarters completely occupied Kutnai City has come back, but everyone including Hu Congfu is not very excited, because they expected the results earlier.
Zhang Yiping was most interested in the attack process of the two tanks. This was the first time that the Chinese regiment used tanks as weapons in actual combat, so he made a special trip to the suburbs of Kutnai to visit Daniel Cheng and his tanks.
One of the two tanks has been damaged and hit by a reinforced concrete beam on the roof. The track is broken and the car body is sunken, but the car group is all right. The tank was dug out and dragged to the temporary station of the third battalion for placement.
Cheng Daniu was still excited. He personally oiled the tank parts and wiped off the stains on the car. He said to Zhang Yiping, "Commander-in-Chief, I think tanks are very good to fight. The battle is too strong. Why don’t we set up our own tank force?"
Zhang Yiping said with a smile, "I am not opposed to the establishment of a tank force, but at present, we do not have the conditions or the conditions are not yet mature. It is not so simple to establish a tank force. It is more complicated for personnel to be trained than for us to practice marksmanship, and there are many theories to learn."
"How complicated? Just get the tank up and run it over! " Cheng Daniu said, "I think it’s almost as good as a gun to shoot a gun well."
"You two tanks are blind and have no tactics to speak of. The logistics support of tanks is a big problem. It was an accident that you didn’t break down halfway." Zhang Yiping said, "It’s a pity that there is no condition to set up tank troops on a large scale and the tank technology is not mature."
"But your idea is good, and in the near future, our regiment will be equipped with a large number of tanks, but the tanks will certainly not be so strange at that time."
"I allow you to ensure that these two tanks can keep up with the logistics at the same time and form a tank force, so it is a good thing."

By this time, more than 11 divisions, two infantry regiments, 37 and 3, had crossed the Jonah River to flank Sans from both wings, and then the 33 rd regiment and the 39 th regiment of the reserve force crossed the town of Kutenai from the front to Sans City and looked at Sans across the Jonah River.
Zhang Yiping command also moved to the other side of Sans.
Sans is a medium-sized town with a small area, but it is a military important place. The US Expeditionary Force General Command Xiao Meng left the last line of defense in Trouvat. At that time, Trouvat was not only under the pressure of the German team in the north, but also under the pressure of the Chinese team in the west, which had a very adverse impact on the US military.
***
General Pershing, the headquarters of the American Expeditionary Force, has been staying in the headquarters and a group of staff officers are planning to put Pershing in front of a major decision whether to withdraw to Lyon.
Pershing felt bad when the real * * regiment appeared behind Dijon, and then the situation was even worse when the railway was broken. He had long planned to take a step back to Lyon to reorganize the attack.
Is now in the * * group, Suva and Oszer arranged two infantry divisions, like the U.S. army, which made Pershing dare not make a move.
If Pershing, the former two divisions of the * * regiment, never put them at ease, he will be very cautious now.
Pershing was almost killed when he was attacked by a * * team, and then Tours, the second army of the American Expeditionary Force, suffered a complete defeat and Pershing was wiped out. France had a little contempt for China.
Today, the Chinese Communist Youth League has become an important force in the European war. When a country’s army faces the Chinese Communist Youth League, it must be treated solemnly.
A staff officer gave Pershing a newspaper with the words "Secret" written on it. Pershing saw that it was a national newspaper. This was the US presidential newspaper that severely asked Pershing to cooperate with the US negotiating team to reach a real non-aggression agreement.
Not long ago, the American expeditionary force made a non-aggression agreement with the Chinese Communist Youth League, but then it tore up the fact that neither side really abided by it for a day.
Pershing’s heart is really tangled. On the one hand, he can’t let go of the hatred that the Second Army was annihilated by the * * regiment. On the other hand, he also knows that the politicians in the United States are right. Although they have benefited from the United States, they will sacrifice the expeditionary soldiers to reconcile the * * regiment, the emotional enemy of the Second Army, but their decision is largely correct.
It is meaningless for the American expeditionary force to fight with the Chinese Communist Youth League. It has no interest in the United States to annihilate the Chinese Communist Youth League. The ultimate goal of the Chinese Communist Youth League is to return to China, which has no harm to the interests of the United States and Europe. Moreover, if the American military wants to annihilate the Chinese Communist Youth League, it will pay a heavy price.
There was a report outside Pershing looked up. It turned out that Barton was once Pershing’s side and adjutant, and later he was sent to form a tank unit. In a war against Germany, his tank unit performed very well and was the main force to defeat Germany.
Seeing Barton reminds Pershing of his two proud assistants Marshall and MacArthur Marshall, who have been confirmed to have been killed by the Chinese regiment. The body has been found in MacArthur. Although his body has not been found yet, Rainbow Division has not found a lucky person today, and it is estimated that he is also dead.
In addition, there are hundreds of thousands of American lives in the Second Army and the wounds left by Pan Xingshen’s China scouts. Although these wounds have healed, there is still a kind of spiritual wound that can be healed by law.
Pershing had a vision disorder until Barton reported it again. He called Barton and pointed the wooden stick on the map at a place called Kesuwa next to Dijon and said, "Barton School, do you know who is occupying Kesuwa now?"
"Knowing that it is the 15th Infantry Division of China * * Regiment, they destroyed our logistics line and stationed in Kesuwa, which poses a great threat to Dijon. At the same time, it is very hateful to force us to cut off our logistics line at any time. We must destroy them and at least drive them out of Kesuwa." Barton said with a little tone.
"China, including the President, hopes that our Chinese Communist Youth League will reach an understanding that there should be no war with the Chinese Communist Youth League from now on. We will not benefit except death, and they believe that the Chinese Communist Youth League has no conflict with the interests of the United States," Pershing said.
"I also know that the U.S. government has also sent a delegation to negotiate with the Chinese delegation. I believe that our government will compromise with the Chinese delegation and reach an armistice agreement, so that the Germans in the Chinese delegation can come and tidy up the Germans before we come and tidy up the China people.
But, general, we are now threatened by the Chinese Communist Youth League and the German Communist Youth League. We can’t let our guard down just because of the China people’s negotiations. How did they talk about it? We must all drive the Chinese Communist Youth League to build the railway line from Dijon to Lyon, and it’s urgent to die because of this! “
Pershing nodded and appreciated Barton’s opinion. "I came here to ask you to quietly transfer your troops from the front line to Dijon …" To be continued.
Chapter 42 Have a fight
The American Expeditionary Force quietly dispatched troops, but it was very difficult to deceive the Chinese and German troops. After all, the troops were so large that it was impossible for another place to appear as unnoticed as guerrillas.
The French Socialist Party of the Chinese Communist Party has intelligence personnel all over France. Patton’s troops just made a move, and Zhang Yiping knew about it the next day, and he also got the detailed information of this unit.
"Barton?" Zhang Yiping smiled at a pair of nearby Shi Weilan and asked, "Is there this person on our blacklist?"
"Yes," Shi Weilan replied, "it belongs to the category of soldiers, but I think his performance is very general, and I don’t see anything good about him. This Barton has trained a tank unit, but the rocket launcher has no advantage today."
"Short pick tall guy in the United States * * team also Barton, Marshall, MacArthur and others are a little brilliant, but MacArthur and Marshall are dead, Stilwell’s broken leg has become disabled, and now Barton is left with this guy.
Tell the 15 th division Qu Weisheng to pay attention to this Barton. I will be very happy if I can dedicate Barton’s head to me. "
Zhang Yiping told Barton that he was negotiating with the Americans. Qu Weiqing asked him to put a little pressure on the Americans at the negotiating table, which would best disrupt Pershing’s deployment. At the same time, he gave two orders to the foreign corps and the 16 th Division respectively to let the two troops end their recuperation and put them into battle
Negotiations between the Chinese delegation and the American delegation in a manor on the outskirts of Orleans are nervously going on with the Chinese representatives Qu Weiqing, Hu Weide and Yuan Wanhong. The American leader is the American ambassador to France, Thomas Thompson, and his assistant, John, an officer of the American Expeditionary Military Academy, comes to Wens, in addition to some translators and clerks.
The negotiations are fierce, and they are full of gunpowder, especially when Americans are accustomed to being arrogant and arrogant in front of Chinese people. There is no place for China people to recognize that China people can be on an equal footing with them. This has been a great gift that their United States has given to China people.
Qu Weiqing looked very calm because he knew that the * * group hand in the advantage and Zhang Yiping didn’t have much hope for this time and didn’t give them indicators.
The contradiction between the Chinese Communist Youth League and the American Expeditionary Force is too deep and very sharp. He thinks that the Americans are just taking advantage of this opportunity of peace talks to delay the troops’ attack.
In fact, the US government is sincere, and the US President gave a secret instruction to the ambassador to China to ask the French to reach an armistice agreement. However, once the negotiation field is like a battlefield, it is difficult to control the situation, and both sides come with deep feelings.
As soon as John, assistant to the US ambassador, sat down at the negotiating table, he accused the Chinese Communist Youth League of violating the Sino-US Non-Aggression Treaty, carrying out a shameful attack on the United States, causing huge losses to the US military and carrying out a tragic and humane massacre of captured American soldiers.
Chinese Yuan Wanhong said in a tit-for-tat manner that "the whole world knows that the US * * team took the lead in attacking the Chinese * * regiment. It is an ironclad fact that more than 700,000 guns of the Second Army of the American Expeditionary Force launched a crazy attack on the Chinese * * regiment and were finally defeated and annihilated by the heroic Chinese * * regiment of 150,000 people."
"It is even more groundless to say that the team * * slaughtered American prisoners of war. If there is no foundation, there will be no evidence."
John also cited some data that the casualty rate in combat is generally not more than 60%. However, many troops of the Second Army of the American Expeditionary Force fought with the Chinese regiment, and the mortality rate reached 100%. Injured people are very rare. This must be that the Chinese regiment killed injured prisoners of war.
Yuan Wanhong then accused them of being groundless, slandering that the regiment in China is recognized as the world’s most abiding international convention, and it is absolutely impossible for the army to do such a thing. As we all know, China soldiers have amazing marksmanship, and it is natural that each bullet must kill an enemy with few or no casualties.
The two men had a big fight on the spot, slowly patted the table and almost got into a fight with indignation.
So for three days in a row, the chiefs of both sides didn’t stop them from quarreling.
On the third night, Hu Weide finally couldn’t help it. When he returned to his own residence after the quarrel, he said anxiously to Qu Weiqing, "When will this noisy go to an end? It is not in line with our China people’s cultivation."
Qu Weiqing smiled and said, "It’s okay for young people like Yuan Wanhong to engage in diplomatic work. The most important thing is to exercise their courage. We are a new generation of young people. We can’t be scared to death when we see foreigners like those officials of the Manchu government. There is always a * * group in our group to support them. They can do whatever they want, or they will lose face for us in China."
"Noisy flushed after no gentleman demeanor this also call don’t lose face? “
"Commander zhang said that personal lose face? If it hadn’t cost the country and the people, no one would have felt that they were humiliated, but that they were mighty. "
Hu Weide still accepted this mess. He was afraid of losing control and lost such a good opportunity. He finally believed that reaching a settlement with the Americans was the best way out for the Chinese Communist Youth League.
