In the evening, Anger’s urgent distress report came to the expeditionary force headquarters to urge the first army to walk ten kilometers overnight, but it was said that it would not leave.
It was not until the next morning that Lieutenant General Charles woke up and walked out of the tent to find that it was a rare fine weather. The morning glow in the east and the golden clouds were waiting for the sun to rise, just as the ministers were waiting for the queen to come.
The first thing Lieutenant General Charles did when he got up was that there was a large square temporary public toilet on the right side of the first toilet camp, but this was mainly for the soldiers. How could Lieutenant General Charles go to those dirty and smelly places?
Going to the toilet is a big deal for Charles, who was born in noble family.
"Eric!"
Eric is a regular soldier of Lieutenant General Charles. When Lieutenant General Charles called Eric, he knew what was going on. He took out a Mazar from a lot of equipment and then ran a polished toilet trap neck outside in the grass. He put Mazar in the wild poppy flowers and put the toilet seat on the Mazar surface. This became a temporary toilet. Although there was no flushing facility, it was rare in the wild.
This has become a habit of Lieutenant General Charles. For poor Eric, it is also his job. He is also used to it and is very familiar with it.
Lieutenant General Charles glanced at the attractive wild poppy flowers all over the ground and felt that this flower sea was also very relaxing and helpful for excretion. When he nodded, he expressed his affirmation and appreciation to Eric Gong.
Lieutenant general Charles will have to read a newspaper before doing this, otherwise he will have to wait for seconds no matter how elegant the environment here is.
Just then, the military postman had arrived from Tours with a big carriage. When the officers and men in the barracks saw it, they came out to meet the postman.
A staff officer had been waiting for the roadside to run quickly with a newspaper and some letters from home. Lieutenant General Charles took the envelope newspaper and slowly walked into the wild poppy flowers and sat down.
Lieutenant General Charles is a noble and a real gentleman. Whenever and wherever he is, he will try his best to achieve the highest and best living standard.
For Charles in the future, going to the toilet once a day in the wild is a kind of enjoyment, but there are few pleasures in the battlefield-especially so charming. Although the wild poppy flowers are open-air, they don’t feel ashamed at all, but they feel so exciting. At this moment, it feels far better than the luxury toilet with white tiles, where it is sanitary, but here it is refreshing.
Lieutenant General Charles took off his military cap and put it among the flowers around him, took out a cigarette in his mouth, absorbed in reading letters and newspapers, and the breeze brushed his hair, stroking the clusters of white irises around his beard, dancing freely, echoing the gentle warmth, rising and falling, and jumping lightly.
Lieutenant General Charles sat relaxed for a while, and two hours passed before he straightened up lazily.
By this time, the postman had delivered the letters, and almost everyone in the first army had received several letters. The officers and men sat in the tent in twos and threes and read the letters and newspapers on the grass, while the soldiers got together to gamble.
The whole first army is like a camping holiday. They are here for a holiday!
The intelligence staff sent the latest information from Angkor that the Angkor team has collapsed and the British team has won many times. The General Command of the Expeditionary Force has issued another order to order the first army to advance to Angkor quickly.
Lieutenant General Charles said, "I know that these guys at Headquarters don’t know what to think? The Germans are tough enough, and they have to provoke an even tougher China? "
Lieutenant General Charles then asked Eric to make breakfast. After a rich breakfast, another hour passed. At this time, the intelligence came again, saying that Anger had been attacked by the Chinese regiment, and then the Chinese regiment withdrew from Anger and went south …
When Lieutenant General Charles heard this, he quickly threw his silver tableware and got up and ordered, "The troops should move forward to Anger City quickly! "
The Chinese team blew up the railway bridges on the Maina River and the Loire River, burned the materials in the train warehouse, and then slowly left Angers for the south of France.
Zhang Yiping and his guard company were the last to evacuate Anger. Not far behind him was the warehouse area next to Anger train, where black smoke went straight into the sky or a fierce explosion occurred.
Antuoni, chairman of the French Socialist Party’s trade union in Angers, party member, is taking a group of workers to rush to transport food in a warehouse that has not yet caught fire, but judging from the fire, their delivery is extremely limited
Zhang Yiping came here to destroy the British logistics lines and materials, not to liberate the French people, nor to give them something left in send warm, which is not bad.
Zhang Yiping looked at the raging fire from a distance and said with some regrets to Anna, the horse trainer who saw her off next to her, "What a pity, Miss Anna. The British were so tenacious that they set fire to the grain in the warehouse and blew up all the arms. If only those grains were not burned, they would be distributed to the citizens of Angers."
Anna also feels sorry. "You have done your best, sir. If I were an Englishman, I would have done the same if I didn’t protect my position. It would be very helpful for us to save a little of your work now."
"Anna, aren’t you coming with us?" Zhang Yiping asked.
"I was ordered to take you to Anger Anger. We have a group of French soldiers who came here anyway. I’m sorry I can’t be your guide."
Zhang Yiping glanced at her rich figure and felt a little pity, but she also waved goodbye. "Maybe we will meet again soon," Zhang Yiping said.
Zhang Yiping’s speed is not fast. When the British first army entered Angers in the evening, they only went to a small town called Weizan, 30 kilometers away.
Guns that were dull from the front rolled like thunder in the distance, but the sound was soon drowned out by a horseshoe running from a distance.
The correspondent came to Zhang Yiping from Ma Yue to report the situation ahead. It turned out that a foreign regiment was attacking Saulai ten miles ahead.
Saulai is a relatively large town, and there are not many troops stationed here. There is a foreign infantry regiment behind the British and French Coalition forces, and it should not be a problem to have a regiment backed by the 16 th Division.
There’s another buzz coming from Anger’s direction. As soon as Zhang Yiping hears it, he knows that the damn reconnaissance plane is coming again.
These wooden planes flew very high, beyond the range of rifles and rockets, and the roots were not close to Zhang Yiping’s troops, so that Zhang Yiping could do nothing at the moment.
Two riders came from the front, one of whom was riding with a particularly large rifle on his back. Zhang Yiping stopped them. "Where did you get this anti-tank rifle?"
The soldier on horseback reined in his horse and replied, "When I was on the train this morning, everyone in the warehouse didn’t know what it was. I think it would be good for such a big guy to hit the plane."
"Depend! Yes, why did this guy go early and let the enemy plane follow us all day, but will you fight? Let me do it! " Zhang Yiping said.
"Just like a general rifle, the commander-in-chief should do it himself. Let’s be a soldier. How dare we meet people …" The soldier said, turning over from his horse and shouldering an anti-tank rifle, and climbed to a room next to him to set up an anti-tank rifle on the roof.
"Remember the recoil of this rifle and don’t break your neck," cried Zhang Yiping.
"I naturally know, thank you for waking up." This little soldier is also a person who likes to play with guns and new things.
Zhang Yiping is a little frustrated. He is a gun king and even a gun addict. Seeing this anti-tank rifle tickles my heart and I want to play with it twice, but it’s hard to take credit from these soldiers.
The soldier took aim at the gun and set up a special bomb on the eaves and pulled the trigger.
"Bang!" A rifle rang more loudly than one. A large caliber bullet cut through the foggy sky and faintly saw a faint track.
The wooden plane suddenly shook a few times in the sky, and then black smoke came up and it was cut to the ground.
The soldier cheered and accidentally rolled off the eaves and fell into a pile of weeds.
"I told you that the recoil of this gun told you to be careful. It won’t fall off!" Zhang Yiping said sourly.
"I was too happy to be careful not to recoil."
Chapter 261 Dead City
The anti-tank rifle is also seen from the roof sliding. Zhang Yiping picked it up in the mud. According to Zhang Yiping’s professional eyes, this gun has a little mauser shadow. Both the 132 caliber and the German nameplate of the gun say that it was specially designed by the Germans against armored vehicles. It is estimated that this was captured by the British on the battlefield.
There is something heavy in my arms, but Zhang Yiping, who loves guns, can’t put it down.
"The recoil of this gun is too strong, and it is easy to break the gunman’s collarbone or dislocate his shoulder. You are too young to be suitable for you." Zhang Yiping said.
"Brother, you are an ammunition hand, right? How many of these bombs are there? Give it to me together! " Zhang Yiping asked another soldier.
"About a hundred rounds. I have ten rounds here. They are as heavy as small shells," said the gunner.
This kind of anti-tank rifle has no magazine and can be loaded one round at a time.
"No, commander in chief, this gun can’t be given to you. It’s the baby in our class. Whether our class can make three-dimensional contributions depends on it. We want it to hit planes and machine guns … and make a lot of contributions."
This soldier is seventeen years old, and he is still a wild boy who hasn’t grown up. He doesn’t know how to please the chief executive, but he is still very anxious, which makes Zhang Yiping feel embarrassed and afraid that others will say that he is bullying.
An honest soldier had to give the anti-tank rifle to the soldier and said bitterly, "Well, well, it’s not too late for you to make some achievements before giving it to me."
"A real gunman is a rotten gun can also play a magical effect! What can’t afford it? "Zhang Yiping said unwillingly.
"But a broken gun can’t fight a plane that flies high," Batman said with a smile when he took the anti-tank rifle
"What’s your nickname, the army?" Zhang Yiping got angry.
The two soldiers cast a glance at each other and suddenly vaulted off.
Shi Weilan said, "I know who these two kids are. They are the 32nd Regiment. I have seen their commander-in-chief want the gun. It’s really rude to ask them to deliver it quietly. They dare not answer if they ask their names."
"Forget it. It’s no fun for someone who has made meritorious deeds to eat. Is it necessary for me as a commander-in-chief to grab a job with a soldier?" Zhang Yiping said.
The town doesn’t follow Zhang Yiping. There is an infantry regiment and a guard company. There are more than 5,000 people in total. Besides the houses in the town are full of people, even the eaves of the streets are full of soldiers.
Shi Weilan added, "Our army is a mighty division of teachers. Small towns in France have always been very popular with the French people."
"The French people welcome coins in our pockets and young guys!" Zhang Yiping said with a smile, "It’s no good to really commit crimes here, which will make people misunderstand that we won’t bite tigers. I think we should occasionally infringe on them to let others know that we are not good people."
"Well …" Zhang Yiping’s changeable personality made Shi Weilan sometimes difficult to adapt. He simply ignored it and asked, "What does the commander-in-chief mean?"
"Drive the French out of their homes in the small town and take care of them in the Ministry. In addition, let Chen Yade and all the heads come to see me …" Zhang Yiping said.
The British army rushed to Anger City and stayed overnight. The next day, the Expeditionary Force Command urged it to continue its pursuit along the direction of the Chinese team.
