At night, when Nagashi Nobutake and his men were again ravaged by German frantic shelling, a force was moving north overnight on the road to Myitkyina, south of the Ubang Ferry.

The commander of the 114th Wing under the 18th Division, Xiao Jiujiu Osa, sat in a sidecar motorcycle, holding a command knife in his hand, his head sank and sank and kept nodding his head, and in his half-open mouth, saliva flowed down like a flood, dripping on the left chest of the military uniform.

At noon the day before, Kokuhisa received an order from the division headquarters that the 56th Wing of the friendly forces stationed at Bangdu Port was in a tight situation, and the 114th Wing left one brigade as a reserve for the division, and he himself led the other two brigades of the wing to rush north to reinforce Bangdukou.

He was accompanied by two anti-aircraft artillery squadrons and an anti-tank squadron urgently allocated by the divisional command.

After the Japanese army occupied all of Burma, in order to cope with the possible counteroffensive of the Allied forces, a road from Myitkyina to the U Bang ferry was built, but because of the rush of time, the quality of the road was very poor.

From Myitkyina, the first two-thirds of the roads are passable, with trucks barely passing, and the last third of the roads are only allowed for horse-drawn carriages.

After an afternoon of preparation, Kokujiu Daizo led the 114th Wing to set off overnight and went straight to Yubang Ferry.

In the first half of the night, with the unique perseverance of a soldier, Xiao Jiujiu Osa sat on the shoulder motorcycle with a saber in his hand, and in the second half of the night, under the invasion of the fatigue of the journey, Xiao Jiujiu Osa finally couldn't resist and entered a state of drowsiness with drooling.

I don't know how long it took, but a hand fell on the right shoulder of Kokukudai and pushed Kokujiu Osa hard.

Xiao Jiujiu Dazuo raised his head with difficulty, squinted his eyes and asked, "Yubang Ferry has arrived?" ”

The adjutant took out a snow-white handkerchief to wipe Xiao Jiujiu's saliva-stained chest, and whispered: "Wing Commander, there are German planes in action nearby, it seems to be reconnaissance planes, do the troops continue to advance or disperse to dodge?" ”

Xiao Jiujiu fully woke up from the fog at this time and found that it was already dawn.

Under the guidance of the adjutant, Xiao Jiujiu looked at the sky and soon saw a plane circling in the air.

In the telescope, the black Iron Cross badge under the wing of the aircraft is clearly visible.

Xiao Jiujiu put down the binoculars, took the wet towel handed over by the adjutant, and carefully wiped his face.

After wiping his face, Xiao Jiujiu Dazuo has already made up his mind.

"Send a telegram to the division and regimental headquarters requesting operational guidance from the army aviation to cover our continued march."

In less than thirty minutes, two fighter jets with red sun patterns sprayed on their wings flew in from the south.

Sensing the appearance of two Japanese fighters, the German FI-156 White Crane reconnaissance plane quickly turned its nose and fled to the north, and the two Japanese fighters followed the figure of the German reconnaissance plane and flew north.

Soon after, two more fighter jets flew in from the south, circling around the road, guarding the sky above the 114th Wing.

Xiao Jiujiu Osa rode on his beloved war horse at this time, watching everything that happened in the sky above his head.

"Yo Xi, if the German air force does not come to make trouble, tonight, the troops can arrive at the Yubang ferry."

With the blessing of Amaterasu (aunt), Kokuhisa Osa and his subordinates' daytime trip was surprisingly smooth.

In the evening, the 114th Wing arrived on the east bank of the Yubang ferry port, and the troops immediately dispersed to both sides of the road, hid in the dense forest, and joined up with the artillery units that had already occupied the area.

As soon as the sun set, Kokuhisa Osaku rushed to the vicinity of the ferry, and happened to see the sky on the west bank of the ferry, the last round of air raids launched by the German air force on the Japanese positions.

Seeing the black smoke rising into the sky and filling the sky over the woods, Xiao Jiujiu Dazuo said in a calm face and whispered: "No wonder the division commander wants to strengthen two air defense squadrons to come over, the lethality of the enemy's air force should not be underestimated." ”

After the Luftwaffe withdrew, taking advantage of the time when the German artillery had not yet opened fire and harassed, Nagashi Nobutake Osa left the position, crossed the Dalong River in an assault boat, and found Kohisa Osaku in the headquarters of the artillery wing.

Xiao Jiujiu Dazuo pointed to the map and said: "I already know the situation you reported, the order of the division commander is to let the 114th Wing build a second line of defense on the east bank of the Dalong River, if you can't resist the attack of the Germans, you can withdraw to the east bank of the Dalong River, we use the danger of the Dalong River as an anti-tank trench to prevent the Germans from crossing the river, and strive to drag the war until May." ”

Nagashi Nobutake Daisa quickly grasped the key point, and continued: "Yes, when the rainy season arrives in May, the entire Hukang River valley will be turned into a swamp. ”

"At that point, we can breathe a sigh of relief." Xiao Jiujiu said.

The two then discussed the communication code and specific details for a while, and after a modest dinner, Nagashi Nobutake returned to the west bank of the Dalong River with an anti-tank squadron and an air defense squadron, as well as a batch of anti-tank weapons.

Just when the 18th Division of the Japanese Army was gearing up and preparing for a decisive battle with the Germans on both sides of Yubang Ferry, in the town of Lido in the north, in the headquarters of the Allied Northern Route Army, Spudent stared at the map and said to Mandolfel: "You have read the reconnaissance report of the Air Force, and another Japanese army has arrived near Yubang Ferry. ”

"No, to be precise, we lured us to the Yubang Ferry. Are we ready to take the next step? Mandolfil said.

"We are pressed for time, we can't drag it out any longer, we must rush out of the Hukang Valley before the rainy season arrives in May, occupy Myitkyina, and let the 101st Special Air Service Regiment and the 1st Airborne Division prepare and set off early tomorrow morning."

Mandolfil nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give the order right away." ”

Unbeknownst to Bootdent, at the same time as the telegram of the battle order was being sent, Mandolfil sent two more private telegrams.

The first private telegram was sent to the commander of Prince Eugen's mountain division, and the second telegram was sent to Chen Dao, who was still in Delhi, the capital of India.

After sending the telegram, Mandolfir first observed a second of silence for the Japanese army, and then three seconds of silence for Spudent.

This giant black cauldron, General Bootdent is determined.

Compared with beating potato skins, carrying the black pot is a relatively easy way to apologize, who told you to kidnap "Your Excellency Brother-in-law".

To quote a sentence from that Excellency, if you come out to mix, sooner or later you will have to pay it back!

After sighing for a while, Mandolfil put away his feelings for the Virgin and turned around and walked to the bedroom.

In the early morning of the next day, before the sun jumped out of the horizon, six FI-382 Black Hawk helicopters, loaded with soldiers of the 101st Special Air Service Regiment, flew to Yubang Ferry······
