The shells were shot from the opposite direction, which everyone, including Zhang Chi, could hear, and was also very surprised.

The first thing they thought of was: When did the Japanese run behind and face them from the opposite direction?

However, when the shells exploded one after another in the Japanese army group, the soldiers understood... This was not the Japanese gun, but the shells of their own people.

"It's reinforcements!" After a moment of frightening, the devil shouted: "It's our division's main force coming. This is the cannon fired by our artillery regiment!"

A burst of cheers soon broke out in the trench, and everyone's faces showed an expression of excitement and glory.

If the 200th Division came one minute later, I am afraid that the soldiers would rush down and fight against the Japanese.

The devil was right. This was exactly the 200th Division arrived, but only one artillery battalion arrived.

When Dai Anlan learned that the 1st Engineer Regiment was alone in Tangji to fight against the 56th Division of the Japanese Army, he was so anxious that he was as restless as an ants on a hot pan.

Although the 1st Engineer Regiment is an engineering corps, this engineering corps is not an ordinary engineering corps.

This engineer regiment not only seized a large amount of equipment from the Japanese army to rescue a large number of British troops, but also made a great contribution to the Japanese army with heavy blows again and again, which made everyone admire him. It can be said that the engineer regiment at this time was already a legendary force on the battlefield in Myanmar. Its existence and deeds had greatly encouraged the morale of the Chinese Expeditionary Force. Many troops were taking the engineer regiment as an example... Their idea was: Even the engineer regiment could fight so many beautiful battles, so if their main force did not show off, would they still have the face to return to China to face the elders and villagers?!

Therefore, whether from the perspective of personal feelings, equipment, morale boosting or Tang Ji's overall strategic importance, Dai Anlan was required to arrive at Tang Ji as quickly as possible to rescue the engineering regiment that was struggling to support.

For this reason, Dai Anlan asked the artillery battalion to take a car in front of the front under the cover of an infantry company... This kind of marching method is very dangerous. No one would put the artillery troops in front of him, and this accidental artillery troops were abolished.

But Dai Anlan felt that taking this risk was worth it.

Facts also proved that Dai Anlan was right. The compost cannon arrived at the last moment and provided fire support to the 159th Highland in time...

Of course, Wang Mazi's contribution is also included.

When Wang Mazi knew that the artillery battalion was coming first, he immediately asked several artillery soldiers from the engineering regiment to calculate the numbers in the preset artillery positions, and even completed the test firing with only a few mortars.

Needless to say, after the artillery battalion arrived at Tangji, he immediately set up cannons in the preset position and adjusted the Yuan Dynasty. He even fired rows of artillery shells in the direction of the Japanese army without even seeing the shadow of the Japanese army.

It was this batch of shells that saved a company of 159 highlands, and it could even be said that they saved Tang Ji.

This dense shell quickly attacked the charge of the Japanese army, and also scared Masao Watanabe.

"The 200th Chinese Division has arrived?!" Masao Watanabe didn't believe this fact, but the dense artillery fire on the position forced him to believe it.

If Masao Watanabe knew that the artillery force of the 200th Division was only arrived at this time, and the main force following behind would take at least an hour to reach Tangji, he would mobilize artillery to suppress the Chinese artillery located in Tangji, and then continue to attack on the 159th Highlands... The engineer regiment, which had run out of ammunition and food, was likely to be unable to stop the next wave of attack from the 56th Division.

But Masao Watanabe thought that the 56th Division had no chance to take Tang Ji... He knew very well the combat effectiveness of the 200th Division of the Chinese Division. This division blocked more than 20,000 Japanese division with a division of more than 9,000 troops for more than 20,000 people in the Japanese division for more than 10 days. At this time, the 56th Division's shells were almost exhausted, and the plane could not enter the battle because of the darkness. It was obviously unwise to defend the 200th Division with the artillery regiment at this time, and it was very likely that the 56th Division would suffer heavy casualties.

"Lieutenant General!" asked the staff officer: "Do you still want to continue the attack?"

Masao Watanabe, who was stunned, couldn't help but sit on the chair and replied: "Give up the attack and wait for air support after dawn!"

Masao Watanabe's idea was... Since the 200th Division had arrived in Tang Ji, it would be no short of this hour to wait until dawn. At that time, the Japanese army might have the advantage because of its air force.

It was precisely because of this idea that Masao Watanabe lost the opportunity to take down Tang Ji, and the Engineering Corps also escaped.

Then, under the cover of the artillery fire of the compost battalion, Wang Mazi quickly sent someone to change the company from the 159th Highlands.

Wang Mazi personally took the adjutant and the guards to greet the company who came down from the 159th Highlands. Seeing that the soldiers were all dressed in rags, Wang Mazi stepped forward and held the soldiers' hands one by one, and kept saying, "Good!", "Thank you for your hard work, brothers!", "Good fight!"...

Since the Japanese army temporarily stopped attacking Tang Ji, the battle came to an end.

Not long after Zhang Chi and others retreated, they saw a large number of cars intercepting infantry, dragging cannons, and even several T26 tanks driving into Tangji.

Compared with ancient times, the 56th Division of the Japanese army had many more heavy equipment, and the same was true for the 200th Division. When they organized the Pingman Na Battle, they added heavy equipment that was originally stranded in Lashio. These heavy equipment included Soviet-made 122mm howitzers and more than ten T26 tanks.

Of course, these t26 tanks with armor that are only a dozen millimeters thick are not on the same level as the m3 and m4 tanks in the hands of the Engineer Regiment. But the important thing is that the 200th Division has many tank crews who are proficient in operating tanks and have good cooperation in combat. Therefore, as soon as the dozens of m3 and m4 tanks in the Engineer Regiment are handed over to the hands of the 200th Division, the combat effectiveness of the 200th Division can be improved to a higher level.

What made the soldiers even more excited was that the 200th Division also brought dozens of vehicles of ammunition and gasoline... This was what Dai Anlan wanted from the British army. On the one hand, he knew that after the Engineering Corps was built, he would receive some tanks and armored vehicles from the Engineer Regiment, and these tanks and armored vehicles all needed British ammunition. On the other hand, he did not want legendary teams like the Engineer Regiment 1 to lose their combat effectiveness because they had no ammunition.
