On the third pole of the day, in a wooded field a few kilometers away from Tangji, the engineer regiment was resting hidden in it.

Not far away in Tangji, the 200th Division is fighting with the 56th Division of the Japanese Army, although the 56th Division has the advantage of strength and even firepower, after all, it is a division of the Japanese army, and the number of artillery, tanks and other things it has is not comparable to a division of the Chinese army, especially the air power...... The Japanese planes continued to whistling and dropping bombs or diving and strafing in the sky above Tangji, and the whole Tangji was shrouded in gunsmoke.

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

On the terrain of Tangji, the strength advantage of the Japanese 56th Division was not obvious, and the strength of the Japanese army could not be deployed, so that the Japanese army could put into the battlefield at the same time and the strength was even less than that of the 200th division, so it became the 200th division to fight the inferior forces of the Japanese army with superior forces.

The second is that the 56th Division consumed a lot of ammunition when attacking the engineer regiment, which can almost be said to be fatal for the 56th Division. The 56th Division requisitioned the cars transporting troops and forcibly interspersed, which was blocked in Tangji and consumed a lot of ammunition, so the crisis in logistics and supply was slowly manifested...... Although the 56th Division had more artillery and tanks than the 200th Division, it could not shoot a few shells, so it could not pose a threat to the 200th Division at all.

The reason why the 56th Division is still on the offensive is only because they still have air power...... But this was obviously in vain, the battle in the direction of Pingmanna was still going on, the main force of the Fifth Army was gradually retreating from layers of resistance, and the Japanese army could not put many planes into Tangji, and it was almost impossible to take Tangji by relying on these planes. It is very likely that Tangji will fight another battle with Gu, that is, the 200th division will independently block a Japanese division for more than ten days.

It's time for history to change...... This is what Zhang Chi thinks about the most!

The 56th Division had to capture Tangji in order to penetrate to Lashio, and interspersed with Lashio to cut off the supply of the expeditionary force and the way to withdraw to the country...... Since none of this has happened, and the 56th Division of the Japanese Army has been blocked in Tangji, then naturally there will be no defeated Savage Mountain of the expeditionary force in history!

Thinking of this, the tense nerves finally relaxed.

So, how should the war develop next?

Zhang Chi drew up a battle plan in his head...... It might be a good choice to hold Mandalay, plus Scoopback, Tangji, and after Tangji, Hebang, Relim...... You can surround the China-Burma Highway with your back to the motherland and block the Japanese attack, so that you can not only hold the gateway of the motherland, but also get the support of the motherland. That is, it can be attacked, retreated, and defended.

Of course, due to the collapse of the British army on the Western Front, China's access to the outside world was doomed to be cut off.

But if you keep Mandalay, you can manage to open a passage from Mandalay to India in the future, which is not difficult to do, at least it is much better than opening a "Stilwell Highway" from the barren mountains in history.

"Hey!" At this time, the demon who had just come back from the meeting sat down next to Zhang Chi, handed Zhang Chi a cigarette, and said: "I discussed with the regiment commander just now, we have always lacked a company commander, and I can't always act as the company commander......"

As he spoke, the Adversary paused and lit a cigarette.

"I'm okay with that!" Zhang Chi replied: "It's very suitable for you to be a company commander!" ”

The Adversary smiled and said, "I mean...... You're going to be this company commander! ”

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

"Shangfeng agreed!" The Adversary nodded.

"But......" Zhang Chi said with some embarrassment: "You ...... that deputy company commander"

"What am I?" The Adversary replied, "Didn't I always act as a company commander?" Don't mother-in-law, mother-in-law, can you ask who of us doesn't agree?! ”

As he spoke, the demon said to the soldiers lying around: "Brothers, Shangfeng wants to let the third platoon commander be the company commander, what do you think? ”

"No comment!"

"Of course no comment!"

"I agree!"

……

The Adversary raised his head at Zhang Chi, as if to say, "I'm right! ”

Zhang Chi was a little stunned, this is not because of anything else, in fact, Zhang Chi is still confident in being a company commander with more than 100 soldiers, after all, he has also brought a platoon with some command experience, and he is confident that he can lead a company well.

It's just that...... He was still obeying the Adversary's orders a second ago, but now he is commanding the Adversary, and this role change is a little too big to adapt to for a while.

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, I have to support you and your brothers in the future!" ”

"Of course!" The adversary patted Zhang Chi's shoulder: "When you say this, you will see the outside, the brothers' idea is very simple, whoever can lead us to win the battle will follow whomever we want." ”

As he spoke, the Adversary turned to the warriors around him and said, "Do you say, brothers?!" ”

"Yes!" The warriors replied in unison.

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

With a "coax", the fighters laughed.

Zhang Chi's heart was moved, he never thought that he would get the support and trust of so many soldiers, and these trusts were still unreserved, almost putting his life in Zhang Chi's hands.

However, after becoming a company commander, Zhang Chi found out that this company commander was actually not so easy to be.

In the past, if you were a platoon commander or squad leader, you could basically report anything to the company commander, and let the company commander solve the rest...... At this time, most of the national army took the company as the basic combat unit, so the platoon level rarely carried out tasks alone, so the platoon commander and below basically did not need to make any decisions.

However, the company commander is different, for example, he must be familiar with the several platoon commanders under his command, and the battalion commander, instructor, deputy battalion commander, etc., and the other company commanders in the battalion horizontally, and also have a general understanding of the combat effectiveness, operational characteristics and command style of the company commanders of these companies, so as to coordinate with them on the battlefield. (Note: Instructors and instructors have always existed in the national army, and since the establishment of the Huangpu army, there have been instructors and political departments, but the status of instructors and instructors in the national army is not so important and the power is not so great, and more often it is just a false position.) ）

As soon as he encountered these complicated and cumbersome things, Zhang Chi felt that his head was big, but fortunately, there was the deputy company commander who understood the situation, so Zhang Chi needed to know or understand what he just needed to throw the problem to the devil.
