"Why can't you chew it again?" The warriors were also very puzzled by this order from Shangfeng.

"yes, we just came back from 'Chew Can't Chew'!"

"I just came back and I'm going to go, I knew we should have waited there!"

……

(Note: The Chinese pronunciation of Chok Padang is similar to "chew not moving", so the fighters all refer to it as "chewing not moving.") ）

Although Zhang Chi did not know what the Expeditionary Force Command was doing, he knew that it would definitely be wrong to transfer the 200th Division, the most elite unit of the Expeditionary Force, to Chokpadang at this time, and on the other hand, he believed that it would be impossible to make such a low-level mistake with Du Yuming's military qualities.

So Zhang Chi guessed that this was probably not Du Yuming's original intention, based on his memories and speculations.

But what can he, the platoon commander, do? He couldn't have sent a telegram to the Expeditionary Force headquarters to get them to take back the order...... A platoon commander has only the share to carry out orders!

After thinking about it, Zhang Chi found Wang Mazi: "Tuanzuo, the soldiers are asking why they are going to 'chew it again'!" ”

"Orders from the top!" Wang Mazi was a little helpless: "Maybe it's because we robbed the British of equipment, and now retribution is coming!" ”

Wang Mazi was worried and ordered them to go to Chokpadang in order to return the equipment.

"This can't be either!" Zhang Chi said: "If you let us return the equipment, you don't need to transfer the 200th Division too!" ”

"Yes!" Wang Mazi couldn't think of a reason for thinking about it for a long time, and then he raised his head and said: "Whatever, let's just obey the order, the peak has its own reason!" ”

"Tuanza, I'm just worried that it doesn't make sense to go to the top!" Zhang Chi said.

"What's the point of saying that?!" Wang Mazi's tone became serious.

It is a soldier's duty to obey orders, even if Zhang Chi is meritorious.

"Tuanza!" Zhang Chi explained: "Look...... Didn't we get two different orders before? This time again, just now let us go to Tangji, and now let us chew again, this ......"

"Hmm!" These words reminded Wang Mazi.

Wang Mazi thought about it, then nodded and said, "You mean that these two orders are likely to be issued by two different command bodies?" ”

Zhang Chi nodded: "I mean...... It's not that we disobey orders, but it's always harmless to send a telegram to the peak to confirm it, in case the peak is in a tense situation and there is another situation of command confusion? ”

"Makes sense!" Wang Mazi immediately shouted to the signal soldier next to him: "Give me the division headquarters!" ”

"Yes!" The communications corps set up the radio as fast as possible and tried to get in touch with the division headquarters.

But don't think about it, the 200th Division at this time is on its way to Chok Badang, and they won't turn on until the next radio contact time.

This is exactly what Zhang Chi wants, because he knows ...... The 200th Division has carried out this order, so if the engineer regiment contacts the division headquarters, the reply will probably still be "go to Chokpadang".

Then the radio began to contact the military headquarters, and the commander of the Fifth Army was Du Yuming, who was also the deputy commander of the expeditionary force.

In other words, the radio station contacted Du Yuming as Zhang Chi guessed and he hoped.

Du Yuming, who was looking at the map at the headquarters, was confused when he saw the telegram sent by the engineering regiment that needed to confirm the order...... He didn't give a regiment of sappers and at the same time didn't give other orders to the 200th division?! Why do you still need to confirm the order, and the 200th division is still going to Chokpadang!

In the next second, Du Yuming opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it for a long time, and then slapped the table fiercely and scolded: "Okay, you Luo Fatty, you didn't even say hello, so you took my 200 division away!" ”

Du Yuming felt that he had been insulted like never before, and he wanted to find Luo Zhuoying to reason, but at this time, Luo Zhuoying had already gone to the staff group to discuss the "big event" of the Battle of Mandalay with Lieutenant Lin.

And now is not the time to hold Luo Zhuoying responsible, but the time to make amends, so Du Yuming had to swallow his anger in his stomach, and flew to the radio station to personally order: "Order, revoke the order to go to Chok Badang, the first engineer regiment immediately rushed to Tangji to organize defense, and recovered the 200th Division to rush to Tangji!" ”

After giving this order, Du Yuming staggered back to his seat, and then sat down heavily and supported his forehead in distress...... This general, who did not frown in front of the Japanese planes and artillery, was almost to death by a group of "Shangfeng" who commanded indiscriminately.

Wang Mazi, who got the telegram, couldn't help but glance at Zhang Chi happily, and didn't have time to say more, so he immediately ordered the troops to turn around and drive to Tangji as fast as possible, and at the same time sent several motorcycles and armored vehicles to chase the 200th Division along several routes to Chok Badang.

Zhang Chi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, he finally pulled back another game, and now he only hopes that the sappers can rush to Tangji before the Japanese army.

Fortunately, the engineer regiment arrived in Tangji ahead of the Japanese army.

However, this is not surprising, you must know that at this time the first regiment of engineers can be called a mechanized army, not to mention cars and armored vehicles, tanks have reached more than 150. Of course, a considerable part of these tanks did not form combat effectiveness, but there were people who drove behind and did not fall behind.

Wang Mazi also knew that the military situation was urgent, so as soon as he arrived in Tangji, he ordered to organize a defense.

Tangji is just a small town in Myanmar, but because it is located in the east of Myanmar Chanbang Plateau, the whole terrain is high in the east and low in the west, a highway turns from south to north and then east to Tangji, all the way up is a steep slope, this side of the highway is Tangji, the other side is 159 highlands and 311 highlands, all of which are condescending to press the road, the terrain is very dangerous.

Zhang Chi was a little lucky, because he knew that Tangji in history was occupied by the Japanese army first, and even the 56th Division of the Japanese Army had already marched all the way to Lashio through Tangji, and at this time, the 200th Division, which was fooled by the British army and rushed to Chok Padang, turned around and recaptured Tangji.

Although the 200th Division fought bravely and took only one day to take Tangji, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, it was too late, and the main force of the 56th Division of the Japanese Army ignored Tangji, which was lost behind it, and also ignored the danger of being surrounded by the Chinese Expeditionary Force, and rushed to the gateway town of the Sino-Burmese border...... Lashio.

Facts also proved that the Japanese army's choice was correct, because Lashio had too many guns, ammunition and supplies, and the Japanese 56th Division could not be used up in a few years, so there was no need to worry about the rear road being cut off.

Now, the engineer regiment rushed to Tangji ahead of the 200th Division and also ahead of the Japanese army, which means that the Japanese 56th Division has not passed here.

As long as the Engineer Regiment could hold on until the 200th Division arrived, the loss of Lashio and the shaking of the entire expeditionary force might not have happened.
