When Feng Yi arranged the defense in Tangji, the new 38th Division became famous; The division commander Sun Liren commanded a regiment of troops to successfully attack Ringanqiang and relieve the besieged British troops and missionaries.

After rescuing the British army, Sun Liren originally thought that the British would be grateful and would implement the Sino-British joint defense plan and participate in the Battle of Mandalay, but he decided to concentrate the strength of the whole division and counterattack the Japanese army in front of him. The main forces of the 112th Regiment in Natmank and the 114th Regiment guarding Mandalay were ordered to quickly move to the front; Completely abandon the security of Mandalay.

However, after the Anglo-Burmese army withdrew from the cover of the expeditionary force to Minjian, Alexander decided to abandon Burma and retreat to India, believing that it was hopeless to ensure Mandalay, and ordered Slim to immediately open a route to retreat west across the Chindun River and retreat to India; They again violated the Sino-British mutual defense plan, the point is that the British did not inform the Chinese of the retreat, nor did they inform Stilwell, in fact, the British were carrying out the retreat plan without everyone.

The British ran again, and the Japanese 33rd Division reoccupied Ringanqiang, and Sun Liren, who had concentrated the new 38th Division, had to give up the attack on Magway and lead his troops to withdraw from Ringanqiang on the night of the 21st, as the rear guard of the British army, and move with it.

On the 21st, the vanguard of the Japanese 56th Division advanced to Hebang, and the Sixth Army fought fiercely with the Japanese army.

No matter how cynical Chen Haiquan was, in the end he still couldn't resist, because Feng Yi still had a choice, and it was not a choice, one was to give an order directly, if he dared not to carry it out, Wang Ying would dare to implement the military law; The second is to let him completely become an ornament and let the company commander of the 87th Regiment carry out the order.

"Keep digging, the deeper we dig the anti-artillery hole, the stronger it is, the longer our lives will be."

The civil fortifications have been carried out all night, and on the pagoda mountain, Wang Ning still feels that it is not enough, because he has seen the devil's plane, and knows that under the bomb, it is a gamble of luck, and the bunker that is directly hit often has no possibility of rescue, so it can only let the brothers all disperse, and one person stays in one bunker, so that the loss can be minimized.

"Chief, the map of the streets of Tangji, the brethren have found several more basements; In this house, there is a tunnel leading to the south, which has been marked by the brothers......"

The headquarters has now all moved underground, although Tang Ji is prosperous, but the devil's plane will not be reluctant to start, this is not China, Feng Yi is ready to turn this place into ruins.

"Squad leader."

Feng Yi walked out of the regiment headquarters and shouted with a frown.

"Here!"

The squad leader answered loudly with a rifle on his back.

There was no salute, and in the 85th and 87th regiments, all the soldiers were strictly ordered by Feng Ye not to salute the officers during the war.

"The people who took you, went south to investigate, and found the devil and immediately came back to report; Be discreet. ”

Feng Yi frowned and gave the order, it had been almost a day since he had been engaged in the battle, and he was very suspicious that he had lost it.

"The regiment commander, the telegram from the commander's department, and the list were lost, and the Sixth Army withdrew to the existing positions on the side of Meng to continue the defense."

The communications staff officer handed the telegram to Feng Yi.

"Order the troops, all to the position."

Feng Yi looked at his watch, it was just dawn for a long time, and the devil would definitely come today.

"Didi ......"

The radio station at the regimental headquarters continued to work, and soon another telegram arrived from the communications corps.

"200 divisions have been sent to move closer to you at a rapid marching speed, and we must ensure the safety of Tangji and hold on until the 24th."

The telegram was sent jointly by Luo Zhuoying and Du Yuming, and the list was lost, and the blocking troops of the 55th and 93rd divisions of the provisional division with regiments as units could not stop it at all, and seeing that the devils were coming straight to Tangji, Luo Zhuoying was also a little panicked.

"Call back, our department will swear to carry out the order, and the people are in the position."

Feng Ye did not hesitate at all, he now knows very well that this is the back road of the expeditionary force, once this place is occupied, the devils can wantonly crisscross Burma, even if the Chinese army holds Lashio, it will be at a loss, and can only surround Lashio in vain to do refueling tactics.

"Didi ......"

"Your department must hold on until the 24th, no one is there, and Tangji can't be lost!"

The telegram that came again was sent by Du Yuming, and Feng Yi was a little puzzled, but he quickly put down the telegram and did not call back.

In fact, in Du Yuming's eyes, he didn't believe that Feng Yi and the two new regiments could hold Tangji for three days, because the troops of the Sixth Army had more than two regiments, and they couldn't hold out for three days in Leigu.

"Li Chang!"

Feng Yi frowned and looked at the sand table, which he had made by letting the guard company walk through all the terrain around Tangji.

"Here!"

Li Chang replied loudly, he had just buried the cannonball on the highway in the ground.

"It's going to rain tonight, so it's okay with the stuff you buried!"

Feng Ye confirmed again.

"Commander, don't worry! I had the brethren use a large amount of tarpaulin, and wrapped the shells and fuses in tarpaulin, for fear that something would go wrong with the detonators, so I prepared three of them; If you don't blow up, you will kill me directly. ”

Li Chang is a veteran, knows the seriousness of the problem, and explains it carefully.

"That's good, but it's not enough, do you see this?"

Feng Yi pointed to a high ground in front of the highway, which was actually not a high ground, his height should be about the same as Tangji Town, but it was just a small high ground next to the highway.

"See!"

Li Chang nodded.

"I had intended to put a company here, but it was for the brethren to die; This is the best machine gun position for the devils to attack, here, the devils have a heavy machine gun position, its fire can cover all our positions to the south, we must prepare something for the devils here. ”

Feng pointed to the map.

"Commander, you give the order directly!"

Li Chang looked at Feng Yi after that.

"You just finished the side of the road, and you should have been given a break, but it's too late, and the list is lost, and the devils will attack us here in four hours at the earliest; I will ask the brethren of the guard company to cooperate with you, and here you bury all the shells we have left, and the effect I want is that when the devils have established a position here, they will turn all their men, even men and guns, into pieces, and if the power of the shells is not enough, you will use explosives; Can it be done? ”

Feng asked.

"Regiment commander, there is no need for explosives, there are still more than twenty rounds of that shell left, enough to blow up this place twice, at most ten rounds, you can turn this place into floating soil!"

Li Chang nodded, as the commander of the engineer company, he still had this confidence.

"Good! Then don't be stunned, hurry up; Remember, we don't have a defense here, the devils will definitely conduct reconnaissance, and the devils must not find out that you have done something here, is there a way? ”

Feng Yi reminded Li Chang.

"Commander, you can only hide as much as possible."

Li Chang thought for a moment and replied.

"Then there you go! Try to be careful. ”

Feng Yi nodded and told him to let go and do it.
