The expeditionary force began to dominate Southeast Asia by recruiting defeated soldiers

After a few terrified screams and curses in Japanese, the only sound in the jungle was the dull sound of sharp weapons piercing flesh.

All of the forty or so prisoners of the 64th Regiment who were rescued eventually got the chance to follow Zhang Chi's team.

Zhang Chi immediately gave the order and the troops quickly regrouped and set off. At the same time, the soldiers dragged the bodies of the Japanese soldiers to the riverside and simply buried them with branches and soil to avoid attracting the attention of other enemies.

Zhang Chi led the team on their journey again. This time, there were more than forty newly rescued prisoners in the team. Although they were physically weak, under Zhang Chi's pressure, their courage had at least returned.

Since they had no weapons, Zhang Chi temporarily asked them to assist the wounded of the 66th Regiment in advancing.

When Zhang Chi led a team of more than 100 people and gradually approached the John Army field airport on the south bank of the small river, it was already completely dark.

The night in the rainforest is like a thick curtain, covering everything around, and only the afterglow of the sky in the distance is vaguely visible.

The outline of the airport was faintly visible in the darkness, and the outlines of several buildings beside the runway looked a little lonely.

John had already cut down all the rainforests around the airport in advance, artificially created an open area that was conducive to defense, and surrounded the airport with a circle of barbed wire.

Four wooden towers stand at the four corners of the airport, and several searchlights are hung on the top of the towers, illuminating the surroundings of the airport.

Zhang Chi was afraid that if a large force emerged from the rainforest in the dark, John's army would mistake them for the Japanese, and it would be disastrous if the two armies fought in the dark.

So he asked Xiao Dongbei's class to leave the rainforest and enter the open area, cautiously approach the outskirts of the airport, and try to contact the airport defenders.

Not long after Xiao Dongbei's squad left, a low warning came from Zhang Chi's walkie-talkie: "This is the White-faced Owl Squad. There's the sound of a motor vehicle engine at the airport, approaching us. Over."

"Stay alert. If things go wrong, retreat back to the rainforest. I will provide fire support for you."

Zhang Chi signaled everyone in the rainforest to stay alert. If John opened fire recklessly in the dark, he would have no choice but to fight back.

In the brightly lit airport, a Willys Jeep painted with the John flag drove out of the gate and stopped in an open space after driving some distance.

Immediately afterwards, a major wearing the uniform of a John Army officer walked out of the darkness tremblingly with several soldiers, raised their hands, and came to Xiao Dongbei and his companions.

"Fuso soldiers, we surrender! We are John's Army, don't open fire! According to the Geneva Convention, we demand proper treatment of prisoners. We have not destroyed any facilities at the airport, please do not retaliate against us." The major's voice sounded a little nervous in the night, even with a hint of trembling.

Behind the major, the soldiers of John's army were waving white flags made of unknown fabric. The young faces of the soldiers were covered in sweat, and their facial features were distorted with tension.

"Calling the nest, the big-nosed foreigner is coming over with his hands raised. I don't understand foreign language, Eagle, you'd better come and see for yourself."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chi jumped out of the tank, put on his walkie-talkie, called a dozen soldiers, and ran towards Xiao Dongbei and his men.

When the distance between the two sides was close enough, Major John finally noticed that Xiao Dongbei and his men were much taller than the Japanese and had American carbines in their hands.

He quickly realized that he had made a ridiculous mistake - the team before him was not the Fuso army he feared, but a Qian country army.

The major's expression changed in an instant. The original fear and humiliation disappeared, replaced by an arrogance and contempt that was difficult to conceal.

"So you're from Qian." The major put down his hands, his voice filled with a hint of coldness and disdain, as if the ugly person just now was not him.

"What are you doing here? This is the airport of our John Army. According to the instructions of the India-Burma Command, you have no right to enter our control without our invitation. Please go back, gentlemen." The major took out a handkerchief, wiped the cold sweat from his face, and said arrogantly.

"Go back?" Zhang Chi, who arrived in a hurry, shouted angrily in English.

"I'm part of the expeditionary force. One hundred thousand of my compatriots have come all the way to this desolate rainforest just to save your pathetic colony."

Zhang Chi thought of the tragic fate of his compatriots who were buried in foreign countries, and his blood boiled. He directly pulled out his M1911 pistol and pointed it at the major's head.

"Open your dog eyes and look carefully. I am Chinese, a soldier of the Qian Kingdom. I am the expeditionary force sent by your Prime Minister of 10 Downing Street to save you, not some Sindhu vassal army you can order around at will."

"Calm down, calm down, Major Qian, we are friendly forces, aren't we? Put down your guns and let's talk." Major John raised his hands again swiftly, cold sweat oozing out again.

He was very confused. Shouldn't the Qian people of this era immediately nod and bow when they see a white person?

How could he know that Zhang Chi, who came from later generations, was not like the Qian people of this era who had an inexplicable fear of white-skinned foreigners.

In his opinion, we all have one head on two shoulders. If you dare to challenge me, I will deal with you.

"Friendly forces? In Mandalay, in Tonggu, and in Yenangyaung, you John people betrayed our Qian country soldiers. Aren't these friendly forces enough? The John people always retreat without authorization and refuse to provide supplies to the expeditionary force. What kind of friendly forces are we?"

"I'm going to set up camp right here in this lousy airport right now. If you don't agree, I'm going to destroy it first."

Zhang Chi shouted into the walkie-talkie: "Sherman crew, show them your weapons!"

In the rear, the Sherman Organ Tank restarted its engine and rumbled out of the rain forest. The round turret quickly turned towards the airport with the help of the electric motor. The 80-tube rocket launcher on the top of the turret demonstratively adjusted its pitch, as if it was ready to cover the airport with firepower if there was any disagreement.

"SIR, this way." After seeing the mighty tanks, Major John immediately became intimidated and led everyone to the airport.

Zhang Chi put away his pistol and repeated the conversation in Chinese to the soldiers around him. He then sarcastically said, "This John guy is just a jerk who only responds to tough situations, right?"

The soldiers around him all regarded Zhang Chi as an idol and looked at him with admiration.

At this time, there were very few officers in the Qian army who could threaten the white major with a pistol in order to find a camping place for the soldiers.

"Master Zhang, you are too generous." In the darkness, a soldier shouted in Yanjing dialect.

"Remember, we are all soldiers. We should refer to each other by our rank on the battlefield. Please call me Major Zhang."
