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

Two days later, on the riverbank north of the airport, soldiers were busy pushing cement boats one after another into the river with rollers. The slowly flowing river reflected the rough but sturdy boats.

"It's amazing! The battalion commander's method is really effective. This cement boat really floats." The soldiers with low cultural level looked at the small boat swaying in the river and exclaimed in amazement.

For the past two days, apart from the occasional harassment from a few Japanese planes, the situation has been surprisingly calm. Zhang Chi knows that behind the tranquility often lies a storm, so he hurriedly poured more than 10 cement boats.

"Your Excellency, how do we drive these boats? Is it all dependent on the brothers rowing with oars?" Hao Yi couldn't help asking while fiddling with the wooden oars in his hand.

He did lead everyone to cut down a few trees and carve dozens of pairs of wooden oars in the past two days, but he still hoped that Zhang Chi could give him a surprise. After all, in his heart, the battalion commander was omnipotent and omnipotent.

At this moment, a gleam of light flashed in Zhang Chi's eyes.

[Countdown: 00:00:00]

As the countdown on the retina relaxes, it returns to zero.

A torpedo boat suddenly appeared in the distance, speeding along the creek towards the airport. The high-speed speedboat stirred up a series of high sprays, startling the soldiers on the shore.

This small boat is exactly the free initial vehicle of the Bald Eagle Green Water Navy Line that Zhang Chi exchanged from the War Thunder system - [PT-6 Torpedo Boat].

This 48-ton torpedo boat has a crew of 17 and is armed with two 12.7mm heavy machine guns and two 533mm torpedo tubes.

Zhang Chi had no fondness for the Bald Eagle Kinetic Energy Yam Iron Rod (the torpedo fuse was of poor quality and would not trigger), and there weren't any large ships in the creek worth using torpedoes on. Therefore, to avoid a secondary explosion, the torpedo boat launch tube was not equipped with a torpedo.

Upon seeing the sleek, graceful torpedo boat, the soldiers on shore were astonished at the battalion commander's extraordinary abilities. They were filled with shock. Not only had the battalion commander procured new tanks, but now even warships? It was simply unbelievable.

Zhang Chi looked at the surprised expressions of the crowd, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He waved his hand and said loudly: "Brothers! Our Zhang family still has some strength in the Pegu Kingdom. This is also the reason why I dare to make this promise to you."

Following Zhang Chi's gesture, the soldiers' gazes focused on the torpedo boat. In their hearts, the image of Battalion Commander Zhang Chi became more and more prominent. Perhaps following him would give them a different future?

"Everyone, get on board!" Zhang Chi gave the order in a heroic tone.

Half an hour later, the PT-6 torpedo boat, loaded with machine guns, mortars and other heavy firepower, pulled a string of cement boats full of soldiers, and slowly sailed towards the east like a locomotive.

The river water rolled up white waves on both sides of the ship, and many soldiers who saw a motor boat for the first time were still talking excitedly.

"Boss, don't you want to come with us?" Xiao Dongbei, who was sitting on the last cement boat, couldn't help but shout to Zhang Chi, who was still standing on the shore, with worry on his face.

"I can't leave so many supplies to the Japanese. Don't worry, after I blow them up, I will take an amphibious tank to meet up with you." Zhang Chi pointed at the Sherman Organ Tanks parked at the airport, the Japanese Type 95 light tanks buried underground with only the turret exposed, and the old planes parked in the hangar.

The soldiers on the boat followed Zhang Chi's finger and looked with dismay at the heavy equipment parked at the airport. They knew that with the rising river, these bulky weapons would be impossible to take away. No matter how powerful they were, they had to stay here. If they didn't want them to become spoils of war, they had to bear the pain of blowing them all up.

Only Zhang Chi looked relaxed and not sad at all. After all, he had a powerful system, and it was easy for him to carry these supplies and move them together.

After the main force had gone away, the six members of the LVT-A1 amphibious tank followed Zhang Chi with submachine guns and carbines and began a large-scale sweep of the airport.

Zhang Chi walked along, muttering silently in his heart, touching the ownerless weapons and equipment in the airport. With each touch, the War Thunder system's garage space would silently and unobtrusively store the equipment.

Bedford QL military truck? Received.

Forklift, bulldozer, roller? Collect.

Small machine tools and various spare parts in the machinery warehouse?

Radio, generator, battery, antenna? Yes.

The canned corned beef, flour, and raw eggs piled high in the food warehouse?

Is there enough weapons in the weapons depot to arm an infantry regiment?

Bofors 40mm anti-aircraft gun? Received.

Your own Sherman tank? Take it.

Gladiator MK1 fighter? Received.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the "Gladiator" MK1 fighter and unlocking the John Kingdom and Qian Kingdom air force technology trees.]

When Zhang Chi heard the system prompt in his mind, he was stunned for a moment, and then he was ecstatic.

It turns out that if you want to unlock the technology trees of other countries besides the Bald Eagle technology tree, you only need to store the initial vehicles of the corresponding country into the system space.

Thinking that there was a Japanese Type 95 tank buried in the pit, Zhang Chi immediately ran over and put it into the system space.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the Type 95 "Ha-Go" light tank, unlocking the Fuso Army technology tree.]

Sure enough, Zhang Chi’s guess was correct. After absorbing the Type 95 light tank, the system reminded him that he had unlocked the Fuso Army technology tree.

However, among the top III vehicles in the Fuso Army technology tree, there is no vehicle that Zhang Chi particularly likes.

Even in the War Thunder game, there are no particularly outstanding main battle tanks or medium tanks in the Fuso Army technology tree, except for the Type 90 series main battle tanks, which are famous for their fast main gun reload speed of one round per four seconds.

Zhang Chi made one final inspection of the airport. With the help of the War Thunder system, he effortlessly cleared out the stockpiled barbed wire, barricades, sandbags, and even the furniture from the buildings. He completely emptied the airport, leaving not a single bullet behind.

He glanced at the empty airport and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. If the John people had installed radars at the colonial airports in Southeast Asia, he could even get one for free. Unfortunately, there was none here.

He shrugged and smiled at the thought.

Everything is done, it's time to run.

Zhang Chi climbed aboard the LVT-A1 amphibious tank. As its two tracks slowly turned, splashing water, the tank smoothly sailed into the river. The thrust generated by the tracks pushed it forward like a large ship. Behind them, only an empty airfield remained, as if no trace of their presence had ever been seen.

Zhang Chi really wanted to know how shocked the Japanese would be when they stepped into the airport and saw the unexpected emptiness.
