What Zhang Chi didn't know was that in fact, not only were they concerned about when the 200th Division would arrive in Tangji, Wang Mazi was also worried about this problem.

As the head of the engineer regiment, Wang Mazi has more things to think about than others.

He originally thought that the 200th Division would soon arrive after the Engineer Regiment, whose mission was only to hold back the Japanese troops in Tangji...... Although this is already very difficult for the engineer regiment, it can still be done with the equipment and combat effectiveness of the engineer regiment now, especially the two beautiful blocking battles fought by a company on the 159 heights, so that Wang Mazi has more confidence in this.

However, after receiving a telegram from Du Yuming, he couldn't help but be stunned on the spot: The 200th Division was blocked by the 1st Division of the Japanese 18th Division on the way to Tangji, and the Engineer Regiment must stick to Tangji and wait for help.

The 200th Division was blocked by the Japanese army, and the engineer regiment held on to it?!

How long will it take?

No one will ever know.

So the engineering regiment faced a very serious problem...... Ammunition is low.

Before, I thought that the 200th Division would arrive soon, so I didn't consider the issue of ammunition...... In fact, Wang Mazi didn't dare to consider the issue of ammunition at first, because he did not have great confidence in whether the engineer regiment could withstand the attack of the Japanese 56th Division, after all, there was a considerable gap between the quality of the engineer regiment and the Japanese army, and what was used to make up for this gap was the high rate of fire and powerful firepower of the British equipment in the hands of the engineer regiment.

But now it's different, the 200th Division doesn't know when it will arrive, and the ammunition of the Engineer Regiment is a little less.

What gave Wang Mazi more headache was ...... Tangji's location was on the Eastern Front, and the Chinese troops stationed in this area did not match the British equipment of the Engineer Corps, and the British Army was far away on the Western Front, so there was nowhere to transport ammunition.

"How much ammo do we have left?" Wang Mazi asked.

"Report to the group!" The adjutant replied: "There are three bases left!" ”

They brought all these ammunition from Ringanqiang, and although they brought dozens of vehicles and even the armored vehicles were full, there was still a shortage of ammunition until now.

Three bases, that is, you can fight almost three more battles.

Will the 200 division come after three battles? No one knows for sure!

So Wang Mazi didn't think about it, so he issued an order: "Pass down the order and save ammunition!" ”

As soon as he heard this order, Zhang Chi felt that the situation was not good...... Save ammunition, the subtext is that the 200th division is not coming so quickly, and the engineer regiment must be prepared for a long battle.

But he didn't say anything, and it was better for the warriors to know a little less at this time.

At this time, the 133rd Division, which was following behind the 56th Wing, also rushed to Tangji.

Masao Watanabe lost his temper at Matsui Kiyosuke: "Matsui-kun, didn't you say that you could take down Tangyoshi before dark?" What about now? ”

"Yes!" Matsui Kiyosuke only nodded and was trained.

"Give me a reason not to punish you!" Masao Watanabe grabbed Matsui Kiyosuke's collar fiercely: "You obviously know how important Tangji is to the 56th Division and even the entire battle situation, and you will even delay the fighters, and you can't take Tangji under the cover of so many artillery fires and aircraft......"

"Your Excellency, Lieutenant General!" Matsui Kiyosuke replied: "The Chinese troops stationed in Tangji may be a regiment of engineers who have repeatedly caused heavy losses to our army!" ”

"Oh!" Hearing this, Masao Watanabe couldn't help but be stunned for a moment: "You mean, the group of sappers we met in Tonggu?" ”

"Yes!" Matsui Kiyosuke continued: "And the first engineer regiment of the 33rd Division that defeated the Ringanqiang oil field, although they are an engineer regiment, their equipment and combat effectiveness are not comparable to the ordinary Chinese army!" ”

"Hmm!" Hearing this, Watanabe Masao's face couldn't help but ease, but then he said in a serious tone: "But no matter what, their strength is less than one-twentieth of ours, and our army still has planes and artillery, if even a single engineer regiment can't be defeated, what can we talk about capturing Lashio and presenting it to His Majesty the Emperor?!" ”

"Yes!"

"Give you another two hours, be sure to take Tang Ji down!" Masao Watanabe gave an ultimatum.

"Yes!" Matsui Kiyosuke had to take it down.

But when he walked out of the headquarters, Matsui Kiyosuke secretly complained in his heart that his troops were indeed more than the Chinese army, and their quality was better than that of the Chinese army. But the problem is that Tangji is not suitable for the troops at all, and the British equipment and firepower in the hands of the Chinese army who occupy the geographical position are very fierce, and they want to take Tangji within two hours......

Two hours to hit a 159 high ground is not bad.

But at the same time, Matsui Kiyosuke knew that Watanabe Masao would be in such a hurry to take Tangyoshi for his reasons, on the one hand, the 56th Division wanted to take Lashio before the 29th, and on the other hand, he was worried about the long nights and dreams...... If it drags on like this, if the reinforcements of the Chinese army, especially the 200th Division, arrive at Tangji, the 56th Division will be blocked here and unable to advance another half a step.

Thinking of this, Matsui Kiyosuke sighed helplessly, put on his military hat and went to prepare for the next wave of attacks with a sad face.

As the sun went down, it was reluctant to haiku for a while, and finally the last of its afterglow was hidden, and the sky soon darkened.

As soon as it was dark, the demon was in a hurry to arrange people to lay mines around the battle...... Laying mines is also the skill of the engineering regiment, but this time it is very different.

In the past, the engineer regiment often planted mines when it was relatively safe, such as before the troops retreated, to delay the enemy's pursuit, but now, they have to go to the position to lay mines under the nose of the enemy.

But this is another job that has to be done, because as soon as it gets dark, there is a high chance of an enemy attack.

The best way to prevent an enemy attack is not to place a number of sentinels, but to plant mines around the position, which will not only slow down the enemy who is coming to sneak attack, but also tell them the direction of the enemy attack.

The fighters called this method of encircling the position with mines "blocking the position".

Of course, when "blocking the position", you should also pay attention to leaving one or several roads for yourself, so as not to be unable to get out. It is even necessary to note the location of these mines so that they can be removed at dawn the next day.
