Chapter 732 South African soldiers
"Kill!" Zhang Chi also rushed to the dune with the team.
Major William, Brigadier General Jack and other British officials, and even all the African soldiers of the 1st South African Division were stunned by the scene in front of them.
There are two things they find incredible:
One is that they can't think of it and they didn't expect that the Chinese team would choose to charge at this time. The enemy is an armored division, and it is a tank and an armored vehicle. The infantry rushed forward and the enemy's steel collision?
The other is that Zhang Chi, as a general, is fighting with the enemy with a bayonet like a soldier?
Compared with the former, the latter makes the Commonwealth troops even more incredible, because the "officials" of the Commonwealth Army are all hiding behind the command, especially the 1st Division of South Africa... To be precise, British officials have a high attitude towards any colonial army in any colonial area, and even more so with the soldiers of the 1st Division of South Africa. Needless to say, the reasons are naturally included in the reasons for racial discrimination. In this era, the white race looked down on people of color, especially black people. For example, in the eyes of American officials, the position of the black army was naturally behind the Central Team.
At this time, for Britain and the United States, blacks were almost the symbol of slaves.
This kind of discrimination will naturally be brought to the 1st Division of South Africa by the British, and even British officials are unwilling to serve in the 1st Division of South Africa. Therefore, Jack, the commander of the 1st Division of South Africa, had a military rank of "commodrama".
At the same time, this is also one of the reasons why the 1st Division of South Africa is extremely poor in combat... Why do British officials not treat them as human beings, so why do they have to work for the British?
Even a considerable number of South African soldiers have become accustomed to being ruled in this way. It is natural to take all kinds of injustice and of course the norm.
But now, South African soldiers have seen a Chinese general, who can be on par with the British or even British officials, such as Brigadier General Jack, the commander of the 1st Division of South Africa, rushed to the front of the team like a soldier with a bayonet. This shocked them to be subversive, and it can be said that it completely changed their outlook on life and world... They suddenly discovered that not all officers were arrogant, and not all officers would only command them to die from behind.
Especially these Chinese people, this strange Chinese army, what was going on?
In the past, any unit in cooperation with the 1st South African Division would first send the 1st South African Division to be cannon fodder, while the Chinese team rushed to the front. Even at the most dangerous time, the 1st South African Division was always arranged on the safer second line!!!
In fact, this is not because Zhang Chi doesn't want to think about it, but because Zhang Chi knows that the combat effectiveness of the 1st Division of South Africa is very poor, so he doesn't have hope for them at all.
Just like Zhang Chi's positioning for the 1st Division of South Africa before, it is almost enough to transport supplies and dig trenches.
Zhang Chi's idea was that since the 1st Division of South Africa could not play any role, why should they be rushed to the battlefield and die?
Unexpectedly, Zhang Chi's unintentional thoughts caused subtle psychological changes in the South African soldiers.
Of course, there are also the roles of Desoya and Toure.
Desoya has been following the Chinese troops for a while. When he was talking to the South African soldiers of the 1st South African Division, he would accidentally spread what he saw and heard in the 1st South African Division in his words... To be precise, this was not entirely unintentional. Desoya and others were showing off to the officers and soldiers of the 1st South African Division.
There are many things to show off, such as he fought the Maherama battle with the Chinese troops, and how did the Chinese team humiliate the British officers and soldiers of Maherama and regain command from them...
There seems to be nothing to show off, but it is definitely a top priority for the South African soldiers, even surpassing the Battle of Maherama itself.
The reason is nothing, that is, the British officials! The British officials who usually beat and scold South African soldiers and do not regard South African soldiers as humans, are completely defeated by the Chinese!!
It's so good-natured, it's really awesome.
So this passage was naturally spread rapidly throughout the 1st Division of South Africa and became a "legend", and it became more and more exaggerated.
More importantly, Disoya is still showing off the respect he has received in the Chinese team, such as the food he received is the same as the Chinese team, and he can even have a meal with the Chinese team!
These are true. The Chinese team is the most racially discriminatory force. A considerable number of them don’t even know what “racial discrimination” is until now. It’s also strange why Americans and British look down on black people.
Is it just because it is white?
Of course, there are still many people in the China** team who look down on the 1st Division in South Africa, but that is not because of their skin color, but because they don’t know how to fight.
As a soldier, the Expeditionary Army soldiers only look down on those who can't fight, are undisciplined and are afraid of death. Whether white or black people, they are the same.
On the other hand, as long as you can fight and win battles, both white and black can win the respect of the Expeditionary Army soldiers.
The respect that Disaoya said seems normal among Chinese soldiers. When they were trained in Myanmar, they did not have any problems of discriminating against Indians, American black soldiers or Burmese people, and of course they will not discriminate against South Africans now.
But these are amazing things in the eyes of the South African soldiers: What's going on? The Chinese team can seize command from the white British people, but treat South African soldiers equally?
So the Chinese troops naturally won the respect and favor of the South African soldiers.
As for Toure, he even used his own expertise as a witch doctor, and was joking around with a lot of money, saying that the German army was a demon who was going to invade Africa and his homeland, while the Chinese team was an envoy sent by gods to protect South Africans, etc., so he put a mysterious coat on the Chinese team.
In addition, what the Chinese team did seems to be in line with the identity of "Emunique of God"... As mentioned before, whether the South African soldiers can even hit the opponent will be witchcraft. The Chinese team can stubbornly defend the defense line under the full attack of German planes, cannons, tanks, etc.
Not only can it defend the defense line but it also causes the Germans to suffer heavy losses, which is unimaginable in the eyes of the South African soldiers. What other explanations can be found besides witchcraft?
