It was noon at sunset, and in a forest a few kilometers away from Tangji, the Engineer Corps was resting.

Tangji, not far away, was fighting with the 56th Division of the Japanese Army. Although the 56th Division had superior strength and even firepower, it was a division of the Japanese army. The number of artillery, tanks and other units it possessed was not comparable to that of the Chinese team's division, especially the air force... The Japanese planes kept roaring over Tangji and dropped bombs or dives, killing the entire Tangji in a smoke.

However, the 200th Division also has the advantage of the 200th Division, which is that it has a geographical advantage.

On terrain like Tangji, the strength advantage of the Japanese 56th Division is not obvious, and the inability to deploy the troops will allow the Japanese army to invest less troops on the battlefield at the same time than the 200th Division. So instead, it becomes the 200th Division to use its superior forces to defeat the Japanese army's disadvantaged forces.

Secondly, the 56th Division consumed a lot of ammunition when attacking the engineering regiment, which was almost fatal to the 56th Division. The 56th Division recruited cars from the transport troops to force the interweave. This time it was blocked in Tangji and consumed a lot of ammunition. The crisis in logistics supply gradually emerged... Although the 56th Division had more artillery tanks than the 200th Division, there were not many shells that could be fired, so it could not pose a threat to the 200th Division at all.

The reason why the 56th Division is still attacking is just because they still have air power... but this is obviously futile. The war in the direction of Pingmanna is still continuing. The main force of the Fifth Army is blocking and gradually retreating. There are not many planes that the Japanese army can invest in Tangji. It is almost impossible for Tangji to take down Tangji with these planes. Tangji is likely to fight into another battle between the ancient times, that is, the 200th Division will independently block a Japanese division for more than ten days.

History should change... This is what Zhang Chi thinks the most!

The 56th Division must capture Tangji before it can penetrate Lashio. Only when it is interspersed with Lashio will it cut off the supply of the Expeditionary Force and withdraw the road to the country... Since all this has not happened, the Japanese 56th Division has been blocked from Tangji, then there will naturally be no defeat of the Expeditionary Force in history!

Thinking of this, the nervous nerves finally relaxed.

So, how should the war develop next?

Zhang Chi formed a combat plan in his head... Defending Mandalay may be a good choice. In addition, Piaobei, Tangji and Tangji's Hebang and Relem... can lean on his back to the motherland and surround the China-Myanmar Highway to block the Japanese attack, so that he can not only defend the motherland's door, but also get the support of the motherland. That is, he can attack and retreat or defend.

Of course, due to the full retreat of the British army on the Western Front, China's passage to the outside world was destined to be cut off.

But if Mandalay is held, you can try to open the passage from Mandalay to India in the future. This is not difficult to do, at least it is much better than opening a "Stilwell Highway" from the wilderness in history.

"Hey!" At this time, the devil who had just returned from the meeting sat down next to Zhang Chi, handed a cigarette to Zhang Chi, and said, "I just discussed with the regiment commander. Our company has always lacked a company commander, and I can't always act as the company commander..."

As he said that, the devil paused and lit the cigarette.

"I have no objection!" Zhang Chi replied: "It's very suitable for you to be the company commander!"

The devil smiled and said, "I mean...you come and be this company commander!"

"What? I'm the company commander?" Zhang Chi couldn't help but be stunned.

"Shangfeng agrees!" The devil nodded.

"But..." Zhang Chi said with some embarrassment: "That deputy company commander, you..."

"What do I do?" the devil replied: "Hasn't I always acted as a company commander? Don't you, mother-in-law, ask who does not agree with our company?!"

As he said that, the devil said to the soldiers lying around him: "Brothers, I want the third platoon leader to be the company commander, what do you think?"

"No objection!"

"Of course I have no objection!"

"I agree!"

...

The devil raised his head to Zhang Chi, and the meaning seemed to be saying: "I'm right!"

Zhang Chi was a little surprised. This was not because of anything else. In fact, Zhang Chi was confident that he would lead a hundred soldiers as a company commander. After all, he had some command experience with a platoon, so he was confident that he would lead a company well.

But... he was obeying the devil's order a second ago, but now he has commanded the devil. The character change is a bit too big for a while and can't adapt.

But in fact, this is quite normal in the army, especially in a unit that is fighting.

After thinking about it, Zhang Chi said to the devil: "Deputy Company Commander, you and your brothers will have to support you and your brothers in the future!"

"Of course!" The devil patted Zhang Chi on the shoulder: "It's a shame to say this. The brothers' ideas are very simple. Whoever can lead us to win the battle will follow."

As he said that, the devil turned his head and said to the soldiers around him, "Do you think so, brothers?!"

"Yes!" the soldiers answered in unison.

"Don't worry, company commander!" The gangster even shouted: "If anyone is not convinced, ask me these fists first!"

With a "coaxing", the soldiers laughed.

Zhang Chi was moved. He never thought that he would get the support and trust of so many soldiers, and these trusts were still unreserved, almost giving his life to Zhang Chi.

However, after becoming the company commander, Zhang Chi realized that this company commander was not that easy to be.

In the past, when I was a platoon leader, I would basically report anything to the company commander. Let the company commander solve the problem... At this time, most of the **s were based on the company as the basic combat unit, so there were few tasks performed separately at the first level of the platoon, so the platoon leader and the following basically did not need to make any decisions.

But the company commander is different. For example, you must be familiar with the platoon commanders under your command, and you must be familiar with the battalion commander, instructor, deputy battalion commander, etc. The horizontal direction is the other company commanders in the battalion, and you must also have a rough understanding of the combat effectiveness, combat characteristics and company commander's command style of these companies so that you can cooperate with them on the battlefield. (Note: Instructors, instructors have always existed in **. Since the founding of the army of Huangpu, there have been instructors and political departments. However, instructors in **, the status of instructors is not that important and power is not that great, and more often they are just empty positions.)
