Chapter 333
"The casualties are not small, we have sacrificed 86 people and seriously injured 9, the US army has sacrificed 39 people and seriously injured 28 people, Zhang Ning called and said that if it were not for the support of the US military aircraft, I am afraid that the whole army would be wiped out." Liu Xiaomei said.
"The sacrifice is so great!" Chen Fei was stunned.
"The devils should be an attack of a brigade and a half, and they can hold their positions in a hurry, which is already good." Liu Xiaomei said.
"General Chen." Merrell came in.
"Well, the scouts and the devils exchanged fire just now, you know." Chen Fei said.
Merrell nodded.
"Xiaomei, report to the Expeditionary Force Headquarters." Chen Fei said.
"Yes." Liu Xiaomei replied, then turned around and went out.
"General, it seems that the little devil also knows the importance of Area 11, so it seems that our operation is a success, but what should we do next?" Merrell Road.
Chen Fei thought for a while and said, "Hold your position and carry out reconnaissance at the same time, waiting for the arrival of the main force." ”
Merrell nodded and said: "After today's battle, the command will pay more attention to the actions on our side, I heard that the China-India highway has been paved at an accelerated pace, and it will not take a few days to start a counterattack." ”
"Hopefully, the route from us to the Hukang River Valley area is too long, the transportation is not convenient, and the devils suddenly attack from any point, and we may suffer heavy losses, but now it seems that we can only hold on." Chen Fei said.
"Come, come, come, two chiefs, fresh fruit." Lao Zhangtou came in with a large basket of fruits.
"Where's the fruit?" Merrell wondered.
"There are bananas, grapes, apples, and many others in the mountains that I haven't seen before, I don't know if I can eat them, I will send a soldier from Yunnan to see it tomorrow." Old Zhang Tou said.
Chen Fei picked up an apple and smiled, "For the first time, I felt that this jungle was not bad. ”
"There is always a good side to every place, and there is a bad side to him, as long as we can conquer it, we can use its strengths to kill the little devils." Merrell Road.
Chen Fei smiled bitterly and said, "We can't conquer the jungle, but we won't let the jungle conquer either." “
"YES! We just want to conquer the little devils." Merrell said seriously.
Chen Fei and Merrell's eyes touched, and they smiled at the same time, and the two felt that they had known each other for many years, and they had a good heart.
In the No. 11 area, Zhang Ning and others finally waited for Zhao Liu's reinforcements.
"Chief Zhao, you're here, we're running out." Zheng Lao Fart happily said to Zhao Liudao.
"It's good that you hold on until we arrive, I've notified the engineer regiment and asked them to send their brothers over as soon as possible, the division commander means that it will be held here for a long time." Zhao Liudao.
"Yes." Zhang Ning and Zheng Lao Fart immediately replied.
"Lieutenant Colonel Zhao, thank you for coming." Andrei came over happily.
"Lao An, you Americans fought well, who said that you are young master soldiers, I will be the first to refuse, haha." Zhao Liuda said with a smile.
"That's for sure, haha~~~" Andre said as he gave Zhao Liu a big hug.
"What's wrong with this American, he's happy when he's happy, hugging him around, what's the matter?" Zhao Liu said with a smile.
Zhao Liu broke free from Andre's embrace and shouted: "Zhang Ning, Zhang Ning, I brought eight mortars, hurry up and set up an artillery position." ”
"Yes." Zhang Ning replied and hurriedly informed the brothers to dig trenches and set up artillery positions.
At this time, the roar of airplanes was heard in the sky, and a transport plane came, and nine large wooden boxes fell from the sky, and Andrei immediately arranged to receive airborne supplies.
Zhao Liu looked at the wooden box that was swaying and falling from the sky, and thought to himself, if he has ammunition, he is still afraid of what kind of devil he is, and he will kill as many as he wants.
The Allied Command and the Expeditionary Force Command attached great importance to the battle report of the Independent Division's occupation of Area No. 11, and immediately ordered the 38th Division to move ahead of schedule to attack the Hukang River Valley area, and ordered the engineering units building the Sino-Indian Highway to speed up.
What Chen Fei was worried about still happened, that night, not only Zhang Ning and other troops at the front, but also the strongholds of Zhao Liutuan and Lao Gou Tuan were jointly attacked by devils and Burmese.
"Division Commander, our stronghold has been attacked by devils." Liu Xiaomei ran in and said.
When Chen Fei heard this, he immediately walked quickly to the sand table, "Here, here." Liu Xiaomei pointed to the sand table.
"Quickly inform Tang Bing and let them be careful, the devil knows our arrangements well, this attack has been planned for a long time and carefully arranged." Chen Fei hits.
"Yes." Liu Xiaomei replied.
Chen Fei looked at the sand table, the devil attacked the strongholds so quickly, it seemed that the independent division was in the hands of the devil as soon as it was dispatched.
"Wang Liang, Sanmao, our situation seems to be dangerous, let the soldiers be vigilant, I don't think it will be the balance tonight." Chen Fei said.
"Yes." The two replied at the same time.
Chen Fei looked at his watch, at half past twelve, he thought to himself, the devil's attack on many places should be 12 o'clock, and the absence of movement here does not mean that the devil did not touch it, or it may be that the attack was postponed.
After Wang Liang conveyed the orders of various departments, the Butterfly Valley immediately became lively, with a blazing fire and torches illuminating the valley red.
The sound of the commander's arrangement was heard in all positions, the positions of heavy machine guns and light machine guns, the placement of mortars, and the soldiers of the quartermaster department carrying ammunition on their backs to place ammunition in the corners of various positions, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.
"General Chen, is something wrong?" Merrell ran into the Command Portal.
Chen Fei immediately told Merrill about the attacks on the various strongholds.
"General, I'll report to the Allied Command right away." Merrell Road.
Chen Fei shook his head and said, "Don't use it yet, after all, we haven't been attacked yet, and such a report will make the headquarters think that we are making a big fuss." ”
Merrell thought for a while and said, "General Chen, our Mai detachment still has a guard unit, I'll go and guard the west, and we'll guard our station." ”
Chen Fei nodded, Merrell saluted Chen Fei with a solemn face, and Chen Fei returned the salute, but he wondered in his heart that this little old man looked like he was at home, was he too nervous.
Chen Fei shook his head and smiled as he saw Merrill leave.
"What's wrong? Teachers? Chen Fang was puzzled.
"Oh, it's nothing, you're pretty calm now." Chen Fei said.
"Life and death have seen a lot, and there is nothing remarkable." Chen Fang smiled.
"Well, bring the bullet pouch, maybe the battle will start, and I'll have to prepare." Chen Fei said.
Chen Fang nodded and took the bullet pouch to tie it to Chen Fei, and Chen Fei checked the magazine.
"Report to the division commander, the order has been conveyed, and everyone is preparing." Wang Liang came back.
Chen Fei nodded, he took out a cigarette and lit it, took a sharp puff, thinking to himself, cigarettes are good, which can calm down the ups and downs of the mood instantly.
"Wang Liang, tell me to go down, put out all the torches, open my eyes wide, and I'll be fine as soon as the morning dawns." Chen Fei said.
"Yes." Wang Liang replied.
Time passed little by little, and the wind suddenly rose in the valley in the middle of the night, and the slimy bodies of the warriors suddenly felt a little refreshed.
Chen Fei sat in the command room and felt sleepy, he looked at his watch again, it was almost four o'clock, it was estimated that the devil would not come, probably because he was thinking too much, but the battle in each stronghold continued. Fortunately, none of the strongholds retreated, and they all held their positions to make it difficult for the devils to move an inch, and the second brigade that Chen Fei was most worried about also called, it was not attacked, and it was planning to march, but it would support the attacked stronghold.
"Commander, if you go to sleep, it's four o'clock, and the devil shouldn't come." Chen Fang said.
Chen Fei nodded.
The eastern position is the front where the devils are likely to come, and Sanmao is guarding here with two companies of the guard battalion.
"Battalion commander, battalion commander." A warrior ran over and said.
"What's the matter? The devil is coming? Sanmao was sleeping soundly, and immediately got up and said.
"I don't know, I heard the sound of empty cans outside just now, will there be any movement?" Warrior Road.
"Oh, could it be the wind?" Sanmao Road.
"No, a row of cans stuck in the dirt should be fine." Warrior Road.
As soon as Sanmao heard this, he immediately carried the Thomson submachine gun out of the anti-artillery hole.
"That's over there." The warrior pointed to the dark road ahead.
"Nothing, a platoon long, a platoon long, come here and shoot two flares." Sanmao Road.
"Yes." A row of returns.
Immediately, two flares rose into the air, and the white flares swayed and descended, slowly illuminating the front.
I saw that two hundred meters away, densely packed with devils, and the devils were speeding up the pace of attack at this time.
"!" Sanmao shouted, picked up his submachine gun and shot forward.
"Da Da Da Da~" The sound of gunfire is an alarm.
For a while, gunshots and explosions rang out in all directions.
"Damn, it's finally here." Chen Fei, who was about to fall asleep, had a shiny eye at this time, and rushed out of the command headquarters with a gun.
In just a few minutes, the originally silent valley was as lively as a fryer.
Chen Fei ran into the trench and looked up to see a large number of devils crawling forward, and the heavy machine guns behind him shot red ballistics.
Chen Fei thought to himself, if so many devils were not prepared to let them rush into the trenches, it would be over, but as long as they held out until dawn and the planes were supported, it would be much easier.
"Flatbread, notify Director Liu, send a telegram to the headquarters, and it was attacked by a large number of devils, and the situation is critical." Chen Fei said to the big cake beside him.
"Yes." Flatbread replied.
Chen Fei was not worried about the wheat detachment in the west, so he got up and ran to the west, and the flares in the sky in the west illuminated the battlefield one after another.
When Chen Fei arrived, he heard the sound of light and heavy machine guns, and thought that the battle was very fierce, but he didn't expect him to stick out his head and see that there were only dozens of devils running left and right non-stop, lying down, and the tactical movements were very skilled.
"This fucking bullet doesn't cost money, huh?" Zhang Yongsheng scolded.
The three Browning heavy machine guns of the wheat detachment spat tongues of fire, and the machine gunners looked excited, and had no intention of letting go, as if they would not stop until they ran out of bullets.
"Three heavy machine guns can't block the devil's advance, it's really devilish, it seems that the quality of this Yankee is also uneven." Chen Fei said with a wry smile.
As soon as Chen Fei's words fell, the mortars of the US army were fired, and one shell after another flew forward.
"Not to mention this firepower, you can fight with a dozen little devils, and you can fight with a big team of devils." Zhang Yongsheng said.
"This is the firepower ······ the US military" As soon as Yang Sanfu was halfway through speaking, he saw two rockets running towards the devil with tail flames.
"Gone, gone, this firepower devil wants to break through, and it's the next life." Chen Fei turned around and ran away after speaking.
At this time, I happened to meet Wang Liang, who came back from the assignment, "Division commander, all the troops are on fire, and the guard battalion in the east is the most fierce." Wang Liang said.
"Well, to the south is the old Zhangtou and their quartermaster office." Chen Fei said.
"Yes, it should be no problem, light and heavy machine guns, mortar barrels are enough, the firepower is very fierce, or the pressure on the old steamed buns in the north is high." Wang Liang said.
"Let's go, go to the north, go north and south, go to the quartermaster department and get two heavy machine guns." Chen Fei said.
"Yes." Li ran south and south.
On the defensive line of the intelligence office in the north, Lao Mantou and Zhu Sanyi commanded the soldiers to shoot on the left and right. The soldiers of the intelligence department are all carefully selected by the old steamed buns, and their combat quality is still okay. The battle scenes are even, and the shooting and bomb throwing are very standard, but the number of people is a little small, and the interval between fighters is a bit long.
Chen Fei took a look at the situation of the devil's attack, and it was not very violent.
"Zhu San!" Chen Fei shouted at Zhu San, who was shooting in front of him.
"The division commander is here, the division commander, this gun is really good, you don't need to pull the bolt, the American goods are good." Zhu San looked back and smiled.
"Well, have the devils always attacked like this?" Chen Fei said.
"Yes, it's always been like this, the attack of dozens of people can withstand it, how many people can the devil travel here for a long time? Don't worry, Commander. Zhu Sandao.
Chen Fei nodded, thinking to himself, with the stability of Lao Mantou and Zhu San, they should be able to hold the defensive line.
"I told Nanbei to go to the quartermaster office to bring you two heavy machine guns, be careful." Chen Fei said.
Zhu San nodded.
"Division commander, when the command calls, be sure to hold out until dawn, and the US planes will come to support." Liu Xiaomei ran over and said.
"Okay, got it, destroy all the unnecessary documents, pick up guns, just in case." Chen Fei said.
"Yes, Commander." Liu Xiaomei said, Liu Xiaomei followed Chen Fei to fight in the south and the north, I have seen a lot of this kind of scene, and as soon as Chen Fei said it, he immediately understood.
Suddenly, not far away, a warrior shouted: "The devil is in, the devil is in!" ”
Chen Fei frowned and was about to say what's going on, when he heard "Boom! There was a loud bang. A supply room next to the headquarters was blown apart, and three soldiers on fire escaped from the explosion.
Chen Fei saw it, ran over, and saw more than a dozen devils rushing in from the junction of the US army and the old Zhangtou defense line, all carrying explosive bags on their backs, trying to rush into several wooden houses in the center of the independent division's position.
"Da Da Da!" Seeing this, Chen Fei and the others began to shoot one after another, but two devils still rushed into the infirmary.
"Boom Boom Boom~"
"Ahh Chen Fei stayed there with his eyes open and a look of disbelief.
Yang Sanfu pulled Chen Fei into the trench next to him.
"Quick, quick, go and see, Doctor Sun, Doctor Sun, Doctor Sun······" Chen Fei stammered.
"Commander, the infirmary is gone, let's eliminate the devils who came in first." Flatbread Road.
Chen Fei gritted his teeth when he heard this and said, "Up, up!" After saying that, he turned out of the trench. The devil's suicide attack not only blew up the infirmary, but also jumped into the mortar position of the American army, and the explosion of the artillery position made the earth tremble.
Merrill ran out of the anti-artillery hole and was startled, only to see that several American troops had already thrown down their weapons and ran back, which was the rhythm of rout.
Merrell, who was also considered a veteran, immediately pulled out his pistol and fired four shots at the two fleeing American soldiers.
"Shoot the escapees on the spot!" Merrell shouted, picking up an M1 carbine and going into battle himself.
Several devils who rushed in were eliminated one by one, Chen Fei and the others ran to the infirmary to see that the room where the lightly and seriously injured lived had been blown up and collapsed, and it was estimated that the soldiers inside had been sacrificed.
"Doctor Sun, Doctor Sun······" The crowd shouted.
At this time, Doctor Sun came out of a nearby wooden room, crying and mourning.
"All dead, all dead, only three nurses left." Doctor Sun cried.
At the time of the explosion, Dr. Sun was operating on a soldier and escaped, but the sacrifice of so many soldiers, doctors, and nurses made the battle-hardened Dr. Sun almost collapse.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, quickly rebuild the medical center, what about your guard platoon?" Chen Fei shouted.
"The guard platoon let the old Zhang Tou of the dog day take it." Doctor Sun gritted his teeth and said.
"! Don't leave a few people behind, damn it, send the wounded to the headquarters, build a medical center there, go quickly! Chen Fei said.
"There's no medicine, it's gone." Doctor Sun muttered.
"Find a way, find a way, you are a military doctor, the injured brothers are counting on you, don't fucking recognize the bear for me, wait for dawn, we will have support." Chen Fei saw that Doctor Sun was a little in a daze, so he said viciously.
Doctor Sun raised his head and looked at Chen Fei and nodded.
"Let's go, let's go, south." Chen Fei shouted, waved his hand at the same time, and ran to Lao Zhangtou's defense line with the guards.
Doctor Sun watched Chen Fei leave, gritted his teeth and said to the nurse next to him: "Gather all the medical staff scattered on the battlefield, and let's rebuild the medical center." ”
"Then, can these sacrificed comrades-in-arms be resettled first, otherwise they will all be burned out." One of the nurses said.
"There's no time, let's wait until the battle is over." Doctor Sun said weakly.
Not far away, there came "Military doctor, military doctor!" ”
"Let's get to work!" Doctor Sun turned around and greeted him.
Chen Fei jumped into the southern trench, which was indeed a bit tight here, mainly because of the transport team and the baggage team, although they were all veterans, they usually had little training, their tactical literacy was very poor, and they didn't know where the bullet hit point was when the heavy machine gun hit.
