Chapter 305: Convergence

Du Yuming was anxious, but the troops were repeatedly blocked and sneak attacked, and they couldn't get up quickly at all, and they didn't know how many mines they stepped on along the way, if it weren't for the military emergency, how could this situation occur, a little bit of disregard for the life and death of his subordinates.

However, Du Yuming still kept urging the troops to speed up, and if they could avoid the harassment of small groups of devils, they would send a force to block them. Finally, at 9:30, fierce gunfire and rumbling artillery were heard not far away.

This time, the devil's resistance was not a small force, but two brigades, and Du Yuming immediately began to deploy troops on the spot to meet the enemy.

"Chief of Staff, tell the Independent Division that our division has reached the periphery of your division, the battle has begun, and let them show us the way to join them." Du Yuming said.

"Yes!" The chief of staff replied loudly.

Du Yuming looked at the fierce battle situation in front of him, and thought to himself, the independent division is indeed not simple, it can attack and defend well, although he did not arrive on time this time, but after all, it has arrived, he and the independent division converge, and the devils can only continue to increase their troops if they want to eliminate them, so the task of containing the devils can be regarded as complete.

Sun Liren just completed the task, if he didn't have to skin him, he already had an opinion on Sun Liren in his heart.

And although Chen Fei's independent division is not yet strong, it is also fast, except for Sanmao's guard battalion, the rest of the troops directly under it have been sent out and have been leaked.

"Division commander, good news, Commander Du has led the troops to the periphery." Chen Fang happily ran in and said.

"Great, do you want to fight back against the devil and cooperate with Chief Du." The old steamed bun said happily.

"By the way, Chief Du asked us to point out the route to join us." Chen Fang said again.

Chen Fei took out a cigarette and lit it, he thought about it seriously and said: "Let Du Yuming go to the defense area of the Second Brigade, and use the three red signal flares as the standard, and then disperse these devils in front of the Second Brigade first, and let Du Yuming establish a defense line on the devil's position." ”

"Yes." Chen Fang replied.

"Why are there so many routes that are the most difficult, and it would be terrible if you couldn't open the gap." Old steamed bun said.

"Tens of thousands of troops will not be able to open the gap? It's a joke, so it's better not to come for reinforcements. Chen Fei said with a sneer.

When the battle comes to this, everyone's mentality has changed, and the battlefield of life and death can make people crazy and make people more determined.

"When the battle comes to this, the lives of the brothers are about to become ants, at this time, if you don't strike while the iron is hot, you will destroy more devils, and I am afraid that this battle will be in vain." Chen Fei gritted his teeth and said.

"How can you fight in vain, at least contain the devil." The old steamed bun said immediately.

Chen Fei took a look at the old steamed buns, picked up the binoculars and prepared to leave the headquarters.

"My brother can't die in vain, the devil has to pay for one life." After Chen Fei finished speaking, he walked out of the command headquarters.

The old steamed bun smiled bitterly, he knew Chen Fei's mood, but he didn't know how to persuade him, a troop was red-eyed, but at least the coach had to stay sober, and now Chen Fei was even more like an angry lion.

The devil can dominate in the Asian region, not by virtue of momentary bravery, so as soon as the reinforcements of the Chongqing Army came up, they knew that it was impossible to encircle and annihilate the independent division.

Without waiting for Du Yuming to launch his troops to prepare for the attack, all the devils began to retreat and withdraw from the war zone.

Chen Fei ran to the Second Brigade of Tang Bing, opened his eyes wide, looked into the distance, and waited for Du Yuming's signal.

"Division commander, the devil seems to have retreated, should we fight back immediately?" Tang Bing ran over and said.

"What's back? Exercise! Fight back, don't crash into reinforcements now. Chen Fei scolded angrily.

Tang Bing didn't know how to answer, so he could only stand behind Chen Fei and wait for the order.

"Tell the engineer battalion to build fortifications immediately, Wang Liang, and inform Zhu Guowen to meet the Fifth Army." After Chen Fei finished speaking, he returned to the headquarters.

He was now an outstretched fist, striking the cotton.

Chen Fei returned to the command headquarters angrily, and as soon as the old steamed bun saw Chen Fei coming back, he immediately said, "What's wrong?" Don't fight? ”

"Fart, the devil withdrew, damn, more cunning than a mouse, if you see something wrong, you will retreat immediately." Chen Fei scolded.

"Okay, okay, just retreat, I'll go to Lao Zhangtou's place and ask him to get you something to eat." The old steamed bun got up and left as he spoke.

He was very happy that the devil had retreated, at least he could calm down Chen Fei, Chen Fei looked at the old steamed bun and left happily, and secretly said in his heart, what is there to be happy about, I picked up a fragrant fart.

After a while, He Wenbin came in, and he came to report the battle damage of the troops. "What's going on with the troops?" Chen Fei smoked his cigarette, although he didn't want to hear how much the troops had lost, but he had to accept the reality. He Wenbin took out a small notebook, opened it and read: "There are 860 soldiers left in the independent regiment, 1,237 soldiers left in the first regiment, 1,164 soldiers left in the second regiment, the second brigade reported up, there are 3,083 soldiers left in the whole brigade, the artillery battalion except for the 184 brothers who merged the guard battalion, the rest have been sacrificed, there is no one left in the heavy machine gun battalion, and the special service battalion ······." He Wenbin was thinking.

"Don't read it, I know, let's say, how many brothers are left in the division?" Chen Fei's face was frighteningly blue.

"There should be about 10,000 people in the whole division, including the transport team of the quartermaster department, the doctors and nurses of the infirmary, and they will only be able to go out after a while." He Wenbin said.

Chen Fei nodded, he wanted to say that there were a lot of losses in terms of weapons, and at this time Zhu Guowen came in with Du Yuming.

Chen Fei immediately got up and saluted Du Yuming and said, "Chief Du! ”

Du Yuming returned the salute, he looked at Chen Fei and said, "Thank you, brother!" ”

"It's all devils, Chief Du is polite." Chen Fei said with a wry smile.

"Okay, then I'm not hypocritical, I'll lead the troops out of three miles, deploy defenses there, and connect with my brother's troops, and our brothers will fight with the devil here." Du Yuming said.

"Okay, listen to Chief Du." Chen Fei said.

Du Yuming nodded, the two saluted at the same time, Du Yuming turned around and went back to the army, and Chen Fei took everyone out to see each other.

Du Yuming brought a lot of ammunition to the independent division, Chen Fei looked at it and thought, damn, this is a few days of preparation, it can't be that there is no time at all. Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and I don't know what to say.

"Hurry up and build fortifications, the devils may attack again at some point." Chen Fei said.

"Can you let the fighters rest and eat something, it's been too hard to fight this day." Zhu Guowen said.

Chen Fei frowned and said, "Only good fortifications can survive in battle, and hard work is nothing." ”

"Yes." Zhu Guowen immediately replied, everyone knew that Chen Fei was in a bad mood, and he didn't want to scold.

"I heard you're hurt?" Chen Fei suddenly remembered and said to He Wenbin.

"I feel okay, if it weren't for the old gun pressing me underneath, I'm afraid ······" He Wenbin was sad.

"That's what the old gun looks like?" Chen Fei said.

"The life is saved, but it will take a while to recover, and now the problem is that we are still fighting, the conditions are too poor, Doctor Sun said that after a long time, the wound will be infected, not only the old gun, but also many soldiers." He Wenbin said.

"Let's go to the infirmary." Chen Fei said.

The clinic was a mess, full of blood, alcohol, the smell of disinfectant, and every medical staff was stained with blood.

"Division Commander, Division Commander, Division Commander······" The wounded soldiers all said when they saw Chen Fei coming in.

Chen Fei nodded and said, "Wang Liang, go to Lao Zhangtou's few cigarettes, and by the way, ask Lao Zhangtou to get some delicious food for the brothers." “

"Yes, I'll send someone right away." Wang Liang replied.

War is always cruel, sacrifice, injury is even more common for soldiers in this situation, to survive intact in battle is a great blessing, great creation, and sacrifice is also a kind of relief, I am afraid of breaking my hands and feet, and I don't know how to live in the future.

Chen Fei looked at the rows of seriously injured and unconscious brothers, his heart felt like a knife, Chen Fei had seen too many scenes of this kind, but every time Chen Fei always felt breathless.

At this time, Watermelon ran over and said: "Division commander, the devil has increased his troops again, and a large number of troops are being assembled, and the specific number is too dark to see clearly." "Watermelon Road.

"Got it." Chen Fei replied.

"The division commander is here." Doctor Sun came over and said weakly.

"What's wrong, are you tired?" Chen Fei asked.

"It's okay, it's not the first time, it's just that this time there are more wounded soldiers." Doctor Sun Jun said.

"Oh, that's a great job, by the way, is the medicine enough?" Chen Fei said.

"How can it be enough, I also save some use, I can use Chinese herbal medicine, never use Western medicine, that who, Tom gave us the medicine is almost gone, but in this foreign country, I can't ask for anything, I'll do my best." Doctor Sun Jun said.

Chen Fei patted him on the shoulder and said, "The next battle will be even more difficult, you have to rest more, otherwise your body will not be able to bear it." ”

Doctor Sun nodded.

"Be careful~" Chen Fei said a word of advice and left. Now that the war is tense, Chen Fei cannot leave the headquarters.

"Chen Fang, report to the Expeditionary Force Headquarters, our department has huge casualties, and it is in urgent need of ammunition, medicine, food and troop replenishment." Chen Fei said to Chen Fang.

"Division commander, this far water can't save the near fire, even if the headquarters has supplies, it won't be able to arrive in a short time, and it won't be able to get close to us when it arrives." Chen Fang said.

"Send it, I don't have to have supplies, I just want to tell the headquarters about the situation of my division, if we continue to fight like this, the British may get out of danger, and our expeditionary force is afraid that it will run out." Chen Fei said.

"Damn, Americans, the British just don't treat us as human beings." Wang Liang scolded, usually Wang Liang rarely interjects, this time he is really angry.

"Okay, don't complain, let the soldiers hear, it's demoralizing." Chen Fei said.

At this time, the newly formed 113th Regiment of the 38th Division converged with the British army, and under the cover of British tank artillery, quickly launched a fierce attack on the Japanese position, and their purpose was to seize the riverside crossing and attack along the road, so that the British army could retreat to India.

At dawn, Du Yuming's troops and Chen Fei's independent division were simultaneously subjected to artillery fire from the devil's heavy artillery, and various types of artillery and shells flew towards the positions of the expeditionary force.

"The devil bomber is coming." The observation post soldier shouted. Eleven Kawasaki-99 twin-engine light bombers are rapidly approaching the positions of the expeditionary force.

Suddenly, six small black dots appeared in the sky, like six black meteors rushing towards the devil bomber formation, and suddenly, a fighter jet strangulation of the bomber began.

The P-40C fighter produced by Curtis in the United States has two Browning M2 heavy machine guns in the nose and two Browning M1919 machine guns on the left and right wings, which is quite powerful.

When the P-40C rushed into the devil group, the frightened devil group could only disperse and evade, but the 99 bomber's protection ability was weak, and the battle situation was immediately clear.

"Okay, good, damn it, Chennault really lives up to his name, haha······ The little devil plane was attacked by the nemesis. Chen Fei held up the binoculars and laughed.

"What the fuck, the devil plane is the target, haha······" Sanmao laughed while holding up the binoculars.

Although the positions of the independent division were being shelled by devils, there were still cheers like a tsunami, which greatly boosted morale.

Since then, the bombers of the devils have not acted alone, and there are always several fighters to escort them.

The six P-40C fighters cleanly killed the eleven Type 99 bombers, and suddenly fired fiercely at the devil infantry who were gathering, and after running out of ammunition, they flew from Du Yuming's position to Chen Fei's position, and flew away in an instant with a wave of their wings.

"Division commander, I saw a shark head, a shark head, Chennault's troops······" Chen Fang shouted excitedly.

"How can I still see a tiger with wings?" Sanmao scratched his scalp and said.

"Oh, Minister Song Ziwen asked the Americans to design it, I heard that it was designed by the artists of the Disney Company, and it was originally going to use a dragon, but it seems that the chairman of the committee did not agree, so it was changed to a tiger, and I was already painting General Chennault when I sent it to Yunnan." Chen Fang said.

"Damn, Americans are better than Brits, that's interesting." Sanmao said with a smile.

"Division commander, the engineer battalion has dug up the headquarters again." Zhu Guowen came over and said.

"Well, inform the communications office that no matter what, all regiments must be on the phone." Chen Fei said.

"I have already told Liu Xiaomei that she is sending someone to pull the string." Zhu Guowen replied.

"Lao Zhu, did you see the air battle just now? It won't be long before Chennault's volunteer team will be recognized by the Americans. Chen Fei said.

Zhu Guowen nodded and said: "The strength of the Americans is showing little by little, and our good days are coming." ”

Chen Fei smiled bitterly and said, "This takes time, and it needs the blood of the soldiers to change." ”

Zhu Guowen was stunned for a moment, and also smiled bitterly and said: "Who said no, there is no free lunch in the world, and this is especially true between countries, we are in this era, although it is difficult, but blood can always be exchanged for a happy life." ”

"Division commander, deputy division commander, I think that a happy life is won by us soldiers who sacrifice their lives and forget their lives." Chen Fang said proudly.

Chen Fei and Zhu Guowen looked at each other, and they both smiled heartily.

Although the devils were disrupted by the Chennault Aviation Volunteers, they quickly gathered troops and began to attack the expeditionary force from many sides.

Offensive and defensive, gunshots, explosions from eight o'clock sharp, until dark. As soon as it got dark, Chen Fei began to inspect the battle situation in the defense areas of several regiments with his gun in hand.

With Du Yuming's troops playing the vanguard, the independent regiment was a lot easier, but the devil still sent two wings to besiege the independent division, and the support was constantly coming up.

"Tang Bing, how is it?" Chen Fei rushed into the defense line of the Second Brigade and shouted.

"The casualties were too great, and the soldiers were too tired, the climate and the soil here were too humid, and if it weren't for the support of the woods, a few shells would have broken down a trench." Tang Bing replied.

"There are many problems, but it is necessary to adapt to the good guard point at night, let the soldiers rest and fight in batches, and the anti-artillery holes must be dug strongly." Chen Fei shouted at the top of his voice.

"Understood, the engineer battalion is cutting trees and digging trenches in the back, and thanks to Battalion Commander Huang, by the way, division commander, I'm really sorry about the heavy machine gun battalion." Tang Bing was sad.

Chen Fei waved his hand and said, "I'll talk about this later, now you guard my position for me, don't feel pressure." ”

"Yes, I see." Tang Bing bowed his head softly.

Chen Fei was stunned, angry, and threw a slap "pop~"

"What the are you going on, can you fight without dying? If you want to be sad, that's a matter for the future, how can you bring good brothers in such a state. Chen Fei said angrily.

Tang Bing was stunned for a moment, looked up at Chen Fei, and immediately shouted back: "Yes, division commander, if the devil breaks through my defense line, I will come to see you." ”

Chen Fei stared at Tang Bing and didn't speak, turned around and left.

"Chief Tang, what's wrong with you? Isn't the teacher sad? How can we be so frustrated in front of the division commander as our subordinates, the division commander ······ Hey······ Forget it, Sir Tang, you are the brother of the division commander, you understand. Sanmao said to Tang Bing.

Tang Bing looked at Sanmao, smiled bitterly and said, "I understand, don't worry, I think too much." ”

"Hey, hey, let's go." Sanmao replied and quickly followed Chen Fei and the others.

Chen Fei needs to unite as one, and then I don't know how many brothers will be sacrificed, this morale is what is needed the most now, otherwise sooner or later it will be crushed by the devil, he Chen Fei will command again, and it is useless to take the lead.
