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

Dr. Anderson performed several successful surgical operations overnight, and the seven seriously injured patients who persisted to the end all survived. They fell into a deep sleep after being injected with the antibiotic penicillin.

Hao Xisan, who was in charge of assisting, watched in amazement as Dr. Anderson opened the stomachs of the seriously injured, removed shrapnel and bullets, and then precisely sutured the wounds. He finally realized that his medical skills, limited to wielding a saw to amputate limbs and treating headaches and fevers, were indeed not up to the standard of a qualified military doctor.

The night passed, the sky brightened, and a new, ordinary day began in the rainforest of Bago Kingdom.

At this time, there were less than 100 John soldiers guarding the airport. Including logistics personnel such as ground crew, cooks, and civilian staff, the total number of John people would not exceed 150. Zhang Chi's team of more than 100 people with Sherman and LVTA-1 undoubtedly had an absolute crush on John's army in terms of military force.

Because Zhang Chi, a major from Whampoa Military Academy, took the lead and pointed a pistol at Major John's head, his more than 100 remaining soldiers gradually let go of their habitual fear of foreigners.

This makes people marvel that the power of role models is infinite.

Look, Qi Quan, the captain and company commander of the 64th Regiment who graduated from the 16th Chuncheng Officer Accelerated Training Class, had the courage to lead dozens of people to surround the John people's airport cafeteria.

Qi Quan had received intensive training in Johnese before entering Pegu. Feeling that he was right, he tried to reason with the Johnese cooks and soldiers in halting Johnese:

"According to the 'China-John Joint Defense of the Burma Road Agreement' signed in 2941 of the Blue Star Calendar, this time the expeditionary force is entering the Kingdom of Pegu. The White Eagle Nation is responsible for providing money and guns, our Qian Nation is responsible for providing personnel, and your John Nation is responsible for providing local intelligence and logistical support." Qi Quan pointed at the John soldiers who were enjoying breakfast in the cafeteria and asked angrily:

"We, the Qian Expeditionary Force, are also part of the Allied Forces. We are here to fight the Japanese as well, and we deserve the same logistical supplies. We also want to eat white bread and eggs. Why are we only provided with this kind of slop? Did we sacrifice less than you, or did we kill fewer Japanese?"

Dozens of expeditionary soldiers behind him stared angrily at the John people opposite them. These foreigners fed their own people with freshly baked white bread and fried sunny-side-up eggs, but provided the expeditionary forces with shapeless Sindhu paste, which made the soldiers very aggrieved.

Since entering the Kingdom of Pegu, they have been treated differently by John's allies.

It was agreed before the expedition that there would be enough food to eat, medicine to be treated, elite weapons, and the Japs to be fought. In the end, only the fact that there were Japs to be fought was realized.

The John people left all the Springfield rifles and Thompson submachine guns provided by the Bald Eagle Country behind the Sindhu Country. They would rather leave the John-type heavy artillery and tanks piled up in the warehouses to the Fuso people to capture than distribute them to the expeditionary force.

Originally, the group of soldiers behind Qi Quan had been oppressed by their superiors and dared not speak out against this injustice.

However, Zhang Chi made a good start last night, and with a backbone, the people finally broke out from their long silence and dared to resist injustice.

"Hahaha, Tom, did you hear what this yellow monkey said? They actually want to eat the same food as us. This is the best April Fool's joke I have heard this year. Monkeys should eat monkey food, you inferior yellow beasts." A soldier from John Country who was watching the fun laughed out loud, holding his stomach.

Several John soldiers around also joined in the commotion, completely ignoring the gloomy faces of Qi Quan and his men.

Surprisingly, the John soldiers who were surrounded by the Japanese army of the Pegu Kingdom were terrified of the brutal Japanese, but they were extremely sarcastic and contemptuous of the expeditionary soldiers who fought alongside them.

Zhang Chi had just finished checking on the seriously injured at the field hospital. When he came out, he noticed the commotion at the cafeteria entrance. He rushed over and happened to hear the ridicule of these people. He said with a cold face:

"Lance Corporal (John's rank as a private), I hope you can still have such a sense of humor when you meet the Japanese devils. Maybe you can still laugh when your intestines are pierced by the devil's bayonet?"

"Hello, sir! Salute to Major Zhang!" Qi Quan and other soldiers of the 64th Regiment had already been impressed by Zhang Chi's majestic behavior last night, not to mention that Zhang Chi saved their lives. Therefore, when they saw Zhang Chi appear, they immediately stood at attention and saluted to show their respect.

"At ease, leave this to me. I guarantee that we Chinese men will get the treatment we deserve." Zhang Chi nodded to everyone and promised.

Then he turned to Sergeant Dawson, who had been accompanying him, and said:

"Sergeant Dawson, as Sir Spencer and I agreed at the field hospital, we will assist you in defending the airfield until the Allied Sindhu forces find time to send a transport plane here to pick you up, or until the morning of the seventh day."

Zhang Chi's next words were not polite at all. Now that these John people needed him for something, of course he had to ask for a huge sum of money and put a damper on the arrogance of these white people.

"Today is the first day of the agreement. If you still want this fair trade to continue and want us to protect you from being stabbed to death by the Japanese bayonets, I think you have to take action. My compatriots must also have enough bread, eggs, butter, and jam. In addition, your armory must also be given to us to choose from."

After hearing Zhang Chi's commanding words, Sergeant Dawson wanted to refute, but when he noticed Zhang Chi's mighty Sherman Organ Tank parked in the center of the airport and the 75MM thick black tank gun muzzle, he swallowed unconsciously and compromised.

"You, hurry up and prepare the food. Give these friendly soldiers whatever they want, even if it's your sister who works in the East District. This is Sir Spencer's order. Do you understand?" Sergeant Dawson roared and spat in the faces of the cooks. Then, he pointed at the corporal who was making trouble.

"Douglas, your rank of Lance Corporal has been revoked. You have been demoted to Private again. Now run to clean the airport toilets. This is my order. Do you understand? Private Douglas?"

Sergeant Dawson quickly realized the current situation - Zhang Chi used quinine to save the life of Sir Spencer, the highest commander of the airport, and he also controlled two powerful tanks. Sir Spencer, who advocated combat, had to win over Zhang Chi, so he had to find ways to satisfy these Qian people.

Zhang Chi watched with satisfaction as Private Douglas ran away with a pale face to clean the toilet.

They came here to fight the Japanese, not to be nannies for John's people. Sir Spencer, who advocated not surrendering, wanted him to help, so he naturally had to adopt a begging attitude. Zhang Chi didn't buy into the foreigners' arrogant attitude that "the Chinese should obey their orders unconditionally."

-------

Not to mention that Qi Quan and others happily received the food and began to study how to eat eggs with white bread and butter. Zhang Chi had already followed Sergeant Dawson to the apron at the other end of the airport to visit John's plane.

Several old biplanes were parked there quietly, looking a little lonely in the afterglow of the setting sun, but they were one of the reasons why Zhang Chi came to the airport for maintenance.

Sergeant Dawson pointed at the planes and began to introduce them to Zhang Chi.

"These are the main aircraft currently used by our Pegu colonial army in John Country. They're products of a bygone era, but here in this remote, neglected colony, we have no choice but to rely on them," Sergeant Dawson said with a hint of resignation. "Their pilots have either died or, while they still have air superiority, have already boarded their planes and retreated to the western kingdom of Sindhu."

He first pointed to a biplane that looked a bit old.

"This is a Westland Wapiti light bomber. It served in the last war and is now gradually being phased out, but on the Pegu battlefield, we still rely on it to carry out some bombing and reconnaissance missions. Its speed and firepower cannot be compared with modern fighters, but its structure is sturdy and maintenance is relatively simple."

Sergeant Dawson pointed to another biplane.

"This is the Hawker Audax, a light reconnaissance and liaison aircraft. These aircraft are light and agile. While they lack the firepower of heavy bombers, they are able to fly at low altitude in the complex terrain of the tropical rainforest, performing missions such as reconnaissance and supply delivery. Kite pilots brave the threat of enemy anti-aircraft fire every day, shuttling between enemy and friendly positions." (A liaison aircraft can be simply understood as a carrier order)

There was a slightly larger biplane parked in the hangar next to it, which caught Zhang Chi's attention.

Sergeant Dawson walked over with Zhang Chi, patted the fuselage and said, "This is a Fairey Swordfish torpedo bomber. It was originally designed for the navy, but we have to use it here too. This aircraft played a significant role in the battle to destroy the Bismarck battleship. Now we mainly use it for ground attack and low-altitude bombing missions. Although it looks bulky and slow, it has good durability and stability."

Sergeant Dawson gestured toward several aging Bristol Bulldog fighter planes parked in the distance and sighed slightly. "These fighters were once the pride of the Air Force, but now they're barely usable for air patrols. They have virtually no advantage against modern fighters, and only experienced pilots can skillfully maneuver to engage enemy aircraft."

Zhang Chi looked at these old planes and couldn't help but sigh:

"It's no wonder John lost air supremacy in his Southeast Asian colonies. With these old biplanes, let alone the cutting-edge Zero-21 fighters, even the Japanese Type 97 and Type 1 fighters could be slaughtered like turkeys."

"The colonial pilots flying them are also unlucky. They have to use this old biplane to fight for air superiority against the elite Zero fighters of the Japanese Navy Air Force. Can it win? It can't win at all!"
