The next battle situation was indeed as Zhang Chi thought. Although the Japanese army had air superiority, because the 200th Division had a relatively advantage in territory and supply, the Japanese 56th Division could not defeat it after two days of fighting.

By the third day, the Japanese 56th Division was a little discouraged.

This is not only because the defense of the 200th Division prevented the 56th Division from moving forward, but also because the Japanese army originally planned to intersperse into Lashio on April 29.

But now... this has become an impossible task.

After thinking for a long time, Watanabe Masao had to report this situation to the commander-in-chief of the Japanese Burmese Front, Kawabian Masao.

Originally, Masao Watanabe thought that Masao Kawabian was furious, but unexpectedly, Masao Kawabian just replied coldly: "I already know the situation in the direction of Tangji. Please don't give up and continue the attack!"

He hung up the phone as he said that.

This made Masao Watanabe confused... Is it meaningful to continue attacking now when he could no longer achieve the strategic purpose of interspersing Lashio?!

But Masao Watanabe didn't dare to ask too much, so he could only bite the bullet and continue attacking Tang Ji. Although the 56th Division had suffered heavy casualties and had no ammunition to keep up, he could only grit his teeth and hold on.

There are only five days before April 29th... The closer the time is to this day, the more relieved Zhang Chi is.

Because Zhang Chi knew one thing, in history, the 56th Division marched 400 kilometers to Lashio within five days. This marching speed had almost reached its limit for the Japanese 56th Division on the dilapidated road in Myanmar.

(Note: The speed of the Japanese army is limited by the speed of the Type 95 and Type 97 tanks equipped by the Japanese army. Among them, the maximum speed of the Type 97 tank is only 38 kilometers per hour, and the actual speed is actually a little faster than walking.)

Now, it is impossible for the Japanese 56th Division to arrive in Lashio, so it is almost certain that history can be rewritten from this.

Whenever he thinks of this, Zhang Chi feels as happy as if he has won another battle... He always feels that he is not fighting against the Japanese army, but fighting against the trend of history, because whenever he thinks he can successfully change history and change the fate of the expeditionary army, there will always be accidents such as these that will make history "repeat the same mistakes".

This may be what people often call "destiny".

But at this moment, Zhang Chijue finally grabbed fate's throat.

"Line platoon leader!" Zhang Chi, in a refreshed mood, shouted at the platoon leader who was training: "Tell your tanks, slow down and wait for the infantry to catch up!"

"Yes!" A row of leaders responded, ran to the front in a few steps and gave a loud order at the tank.

During the days when the 200th Division was taking over the Japanese army in Tangji, the engineering regiment retreated to the second line took a break and immediately started intense training.

This is mainly because after fighting several battles on the battlefield, the officers and soldiers of the Engineering Corps felt that there were still many things to learn from top to bottom, and these things can often save their lives at critical moments, so all parts spontaneously carried out training.

Of course, there are also negative attitudes among them, such as the calf... Since the big bull died, he has not said a word until now, and he has not even moved the dry food handed to him. He has kept the gun in his arms and cried silently without saying a word all day. It is useless for fellow villagers to persuade him.

For this, fellow villagers who had just become the platoon leader have come to Zhang Chi several times.

"Company Commander!" said the fellow villager to Zhang Chi in embarrassment: "Look at Xiao Niu like this... Although we can understand his brother's sacrifice, but..."

The fellow villager didn't finish his words, but Zhang Chi could understand his difficulties.

He did nothing like Xiaoniu and didn't listen to anything made the platoon leader, the platoon leader, very embarrassed. He could not establish his prestige in front of his subordinates.

On the other hand, the fellow villagers had no choice but to treat Xiaoniu... At this time, Xiaoniu even wanted to seek death, so what could he do to him?!

"Have you done his ideological work?" Zhang Chi asked.

"Why didn't it?" the fellow villager replied: "I said everything, and the gangster wanted to beat him up, saying that if he continued like this, the big bull would not be able to see him even if he died, but he just didn't listen!"

After thinking about it, Zhang Chi said, "Let this be put beforehand, I will deal with it!"

"Yes!" The fellow villager responded and took other soldiers to train.

Seeing that the soldiers were busy training, Zhang Chi walked to the calf who was curled up in the weeds like a dead person, threw the bag of dry food in front of the calf, and said, "You go, take advantage of others not paying attention, and leave the gun and bullets!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Niu was stunned and looked at Zhang Chi with an incredible expression on his face.

"I will pretend I didn't see it!" Zhang Chi said: "But don't let others discover it, otherwise I won't explain it!"

As he said that, Zhang Chi looked around, lowered his voice and raised his head to the depths of the jungle and said, "Let's go in this direction. After two or three kilometers, you will see the road. I will find a way to change into the clothes of the Burmese people. I just say that they are overseas Chinese. You can go back to China after walking along the road for a few days. Do you understand?"

"Company Commander...you...let me go?" Perhaps because I haven't eaten for a few days, the Mavericks are even weak in speaking.

"Enable quick action!" Zhang Chi said: "Don't let my mother-in-law and go home to take good care of my parents and do my best to be filial!"

"I... have no parents!" Xiao Maverick replied: "They were beaten to death by the Japanese when we were ten years old!"

"Um!" Zhang Chi was stunned when he heard this, and then said, "Anyway, you're leaving..."

"Company Commander, I won't leave!" Xiao Niu forced himself to sit up and said, "Company Commander, don't drive me away!"

"Hey! You..." Zhang Chi couldn't help but feel angry when he heard this: "Didn't you always want to leave? Why are you..."

"Company Commander!" Xiao Niu replied: "I have no place to go, I...I want to fight the Japanese with you!"

"Play a ball!" Zhang Chi cursed angrily: "Look at your appearance, the wind will fall down. I said the Mavericks... War is not a joke. If you can't think about it yourself, don't drag the troops down. You will kill others like this!"

"I...I can do it!" The Maverick said as he forced himself to stand up, but before he could stand up, he fell to the ground with a "bang".

When the fellow villagers came back, they saw the calf eating voraciously, and they couldn't help but open their mouths for a long time.

"Company Commander!" The fellow villager whispered to Zhang Chi: "You can do it! How can you convince him?!"

Zhang Chi smiled bitterly, and he didn't know how to convince the Mavericks.

"Company Commander, there is something wrong!" At this time, a hooligan who was more than ten meters away shouted loudly into the sky.
