After making a plan, I just did it all the time.

First, I sent someone back to Tang Ji to report this plan to Wang Mazi... Although the Engineer Regiment had already led several telephone lines to the 159th Highland in advance, it is best to convey something as important as the combat plan by people. The reason is that no one is sure whether the number of miles long telephone lines will be monitored by the Japanese army. If the telephone reports are reported, it is very likely that the Japanese army will obtain the combat plan first, which is fatal to the Engineer Regiment.

After Wang Mazi received this plan, he quickly agreed, and then passed the orders to the troops on the 311th Highland and Tangji line respectively, so that they could prepare for coordinated preparations with the 159th Highland.

Then, the soldiers of the first company dug the pit cloth for burying explosives in the trenches, the fuse was prepared, and the explosives were prepared.

Of course, it is not appropriate to bury the explosives immediately at this time. At this time, the soldiers of the first company are still in the trenches. Now burying the explosives is equivalent to burying the explosives at your feet... The Japanese detonated the explosives with a round of artillery fire. It would be a bad thing.

Finally, most of the troops were withdrawn to the backscene to build another line of defense, leaving only one platoon, Zhang Chi's troops in the trenches.

Their mission is to prepare for burying explosives, and the other is to pretend to block the Japanese army in the trenches... There can be no soldiers in this trenches, and the Japanese army is not fools. They do not encounter any resistance next time they charge, so they will soon guess that there may be fraud, so they will choose to send a small army to reconnaissance.

However, just when Zhang Chi and others were ready to welcome the next attack, the Japanese stopped attacking.

They just fought on the 159th Heights without a single shot, and occasionally sent a small team to harass the position... But it was obviously just a feint attack. It was impossible for a small team of Japanese troops to win the 159th Heights with such a huge difference in geographical advantages.

Zhang Chi was a little surprised by the Japanese army's performance... Didn't the Japanese army rush to intersperse Lashio? Wasn't they rush to take down Tang Ji? Why is it so tepid now?

Zhang Chi had a premonition that the Japanese army's combat plan might change.

Zhang Chi guessed correctly. The Japanese army did change, but the goal of taking down Tang Ji and interspersing Lashio did not change.

Some changes are because Masao Watanabe has taken into account several factors.

First of all, the defeat of the third team of the 133rd Regiment shocked Masao Watanabe.

This third brigade originally belonged to Masao Watanabe, but it was not long ago when the 56th Division was reorganized to the 133rd Regiment.

Masao Watanabe was very clear about the courage and determination of the brigade. In fact, the performance of this brigade on the battlefield did not disappoint Masao Watanabe... They were seriously injured while taking on the lurking mission, but they still failed to win the 159th Highlands in the end.

So Masao Watanabe realized one thing: maybe he was wrongly blamed by Kiyosuke Matsui. The 133rd Regiment failed to take Tang Qi, which means that this is not Matsui Kiyosuke Matsui's incompetence, but that the Central Team stationed in Tang Qi is indeed a unit that cannot be underestimated, just as Kiyosuke Matsui described.

From this, Masao Watanabe realized something...even if he was sent to other troops, he would probably have the same result.

Of course, at this time Masao Watanabe did not know that the ammunition of the engineer corps stationed in Tangchi was insufficient, otherwise, he would choose to use the lives of the soldiers to consume the enemy's ammunition without hesitation.

On the other hand, since landing in Yangon, the 56th Division has been marching urgently for almost a moment. First, it rushed to Tonggu for 200 kilometers in three days and two hundred kilometers to join the Tonggu battle, and then it replenished its equipment and headed north along the Moltke Highway... You should know that this is a steep road of nearly a thousand kilometers, and it is also a road that was broken by the Zhongzha Bridge. Although the Myanmar Independence Volunteers and the Burmese people all the way along, the forced marching for such a long time also made the 56th Division feel exhausted.

The 56th Division needs rest, not to mention that the 56th Division has consumed too many shells in Tangji, and the shells that should have been used when attacking Lashio.

At the same time, Masao Watanabe also received information. The 200th Chinese Division, who was rushing to Tangji, had been blocked by the 18th Division, and he did not arrive at Tangji so quickly.

More importantly, the wind direction is not right at this time...

This made Watanabe Masao decide to let the officers and soldiers of the 56th Division rest, and also wait for the logistics force to allow the 56th Division to replenish some ammunition before continuing to move forward.

But the 56th Division can rest, but cannot let the Chinese team rest.

So Masao Watanabe ordered the harassment of Tang Qi, not allowing the Chinese team to rest and not giving them the chance to switch defenses... Once they noticed that the Chinese people changed defenses, the Japanese army would soon turn from feint attack to real attacks.

This move is indeed very useful for the Engineer Regiment. After all, the Engineer Regiment is not very experienced in the battlefield, and the quality cannot keep up with it. In addition, the Japanese army's charge is very fast, so if they are not careful, they will rush to the position and lose their lives. Therefore, even the feint attack makes the soldiers of the Engineer Regiment nervous.

And this is exactly what Masao Watanabe hopes for.

"Lieutenant General!" The staff officer walked into the house as a temporary command center and asked Masao Watanabe: "The officers want to know how long the troops can rest."

"Time?" Watanabe Masao thought about it and replied: "There is no specific time, so you can rest until the wind direction changes!"

"Yes!" The staff officer seemed to understand something, stood up and saluted and walked out of the command center.

As time gradually entered the second half of the night, Zhang Chi could no longer help but hold the gun and leaned against the trenches to rest... In fact, it should be safer to sleep in the cat's ear piercing. If the enemy hits the shells and even gets drunk, it can save it.

But those who have not escaped cat ear piercing do not know the hard work. The small space for cat ear piercing is hidden inside and cannot turn around. It is one aspect. What is unbearable is that it is stuffy and hot inside... The land is exposed to the sun during the day, and these heats cannot be emitted for a while, so hiding inside is like steaming in sweat, and soon it will be sweaty. In addition, mosquitoes are also leaping inside, so Zhang Chi would rather blow the wind outside and cool down.

More importantly, Zhang Chi didn't want to hide inside and fall asleep, and even the Japanese rushed up. Although this situation may occur when they fell asleep outside, the soldiers would still see him and would remind him.

When he relaxed, Zhang Chi felt a little pain on his face. When he touched it, he realized that there was a bullet mark on his face at some point.
