The gunfire on the battlefield ceased, the battle was over, and the brethren of the Fifth Army, having taken up their positions, began to build bunkers and set up headquarters on the spot; They didn't even think about going into Tangji to renovate.

"Happy!"

Standing in the trenches, Lim Seung-hee shouted.

After the First World War, the devils threw down more than 800 corpses, and here they also destroyed three tanks of the devils; As for the captured guns and ammunition, there were too many, but unfortunately, the devil's rifle and crooked machine gun they didn't look at it at all, and they couldn't use it at all.

"Brother Feng, what did you like to seize? Take it yourself! ”

Lin Chengxi was very generous, and in the face of the mountain of devil materials, he motioned to Feng Yi to take it casually.

"Commander Lin, there are many brothers in my army who are using the devil's grenadiers, grenadiers and grenades, as well as the devil's Type 92 grenades, can you give them to me?"

Lin Chengxi said to take it casually, of course Feng Yi can't be really casual, the position was captured by others, if he is really casual, I am afraid he will be looked down upon.

"That's all? Don't want anything else? ”

Lin Chengxi asked, in fact, several mortars and infantry guns were captured here, and there were many heavy machine guns of the devils, and even dozens of trucks; He thought that Feng Ye would open his mouth, but he didn't expect Feng Yi to only need those.

"If Captain Lin doesn't need anything, it's okay to reward the brothers at all, I don't dislike it."

Feng Yi grinned and rubbed his hands, in fact, this is the gap between the elite of the lineage and the new editor.

"Trucks can't be given to you, we don't have enough trucks, we have to use this ourselves; The devil's rifles, light machine guns, and bullets can all be given to you, and mortars can be divided into two for you, and the shells are one base. ”

Lin Chengxi thought about it for a while, and he was not really generous, in fact, he gave Feng Yi what he didn't want; As for infantry artillery and mortars, no one would dislike that stuff too much.

"Even if the devil's guns and bullets are counted, I can't use those things; Thank you, Commander Lin, and I'll take the brothers back if nothing else. ”

After Feng Ye finished speaking, he saluted and prepared to say goodbye.

"Okay, keep Tangji well, Chief Du won't forget you."

Lin Chengxi said goodbye to Feng Ye after returning the salute, although the battlefield in Myanmar is big, it is not a day without seeing each other again, as long as everyone is still alive.

"Pack up your things and go back to Tangji."

Feng Ye shouted, asking the brothers to carry the spoils they had received, take the wounded soldiers, and return to Tangji.

In fact, in addition to those things, Lin Chengxi also gave a lot of devils cigarettes, canned food, kettles and other bits and pieces.

On April 24, the troops directly under the Fifth Army and the 200th Division arrived in the area of Tangji, and with the cooperation of the new 29th Division, they attacked the Japanese army east of Tangji and pressed the devils in the area of Releem.

Tangji turned from danger to safety, and the Expeditionary Force Staff and the Commander's Department all believed that the Japanese army would not go deep alone before conquering Tangji, so they continued to carry out the Battle of Mandalay; The new 22nd and 96th divisions of the Fifth Army and the new 28th Division of the 66th Army were all assembled in the Wacheng area to prepare for the Battle of Mandalay.

No one thought that Feng Yi could really hold Tangji, and Du Yuming had already sent a telegram to Chongqing when the 200th Division returned to rescue Tangji, explaining the serious consequences of Tangji's loss.

On the 24th, Chongqing telegraphed to the expeditionary force: "Lashio should be dealt with urgently, in case Lashio is not defended, then the 5th Army and the 66th Army should take Myitkyina and Bamo as the rear." ”。

After receiving this telegram, Du Yuming took a tough attitude at the operational meeting of the Battle of Mandalay and opposed the continuation of the Battle of Mandalay, but he could not stand the weakness of the commander Luo Zhuoying, and under Luo Zhuoying's adjustment, the 200th Division continued to attack Relem to relieve his worries, while the new 22nd Division and the 96th Division continued to participate in the Battle of Mandalay, and the troops of the Fifth Army were divided into two.

According to the requirements of the operational meeting, the new 38th Division held the north bank of the Irrawaddy River west of Wacheng (in fact, it was to cover for the British and help the British retreat), and the new 22nd Division and the 96th Division were divided to defend the line of the small river south of Wacheng.

It was already dawn, Feng Ye was still asleep, no one disturbed him, and the various troops returned to the defense line according to the positions they had before the evening sortie; The corpses of the devils on the battlefield were still there, and the brothers who had been tired all day hurriedly buried their brothers, and did not have the spare strength to dispose of these corpses.

The cavalry regiment and the 200th division are still continuing to attack Releem, but the devils have built a strong defensive line here, and with one division, it is impossible to attack it; And in the field leading to Rerem, there are constantly squadrons and brigade-sized devils gathering in Rerem.

Rerem gathered more and more devils, but they did not attack the 200th division in front of him, Watanabe Masao was determined, he decided to gather troops, directly to Lashio, he now has no care about the back road, as long as Lashio is captured, it is not his back road that is cut off, but the entire Chinese expeditionary force is surrounded by three divisions.

"Regiment commander, all the seriously wounded got on the bus at noon, and now only the lightly wounded are still in Tangji; Vehicles are limited, and they can't transport so much at one time; Dean Zhao is trying his best to take care of the wounded, but our medicines are almost running out. ”

Feng Ye finally woke up, eating steamed buns and drinking water, and the staff officer reported the situation to Feng Jie.

"What is the morale of the brethren?"

Feng Yi ate by himself and asked the staff officer.

"In the morning, I walked around several positions with them, and the morale of the brothers was very good; But there is another situation, the Burmese people in the town have all run, and they ran last night, and I don't know where they went! ”

The staff officer frowned, no one paid attention to where the Burmese ran from last night, Tang Ji is not small, the point is that there is no complete city wall here, and the Burmese have too many places to slip out.

"It's better to run away, lest you have to guard against them. What about the ammunition? ”

The Burmese Feng Ye never took it to heart, because he didn't trust them at all, and he cared more about his ammunition reserves.

"There are still about two bases of bullets in the warehouse, and there are not many grenades, about ten for each brother, and less than two for mortar shells; The two-pounder artillery shelled less than two hundred rounds. ”

Another staff officer immediately stood up and answered when he heard the question.

"Send a telegram to the Staff Committee with a request for replenishment of grenade and mortar shells; Hopefully they have that fucking 76.2mm mortar shell from the British. ”

Feng Yi wanted to curse when he thought of the mortar he used, and as for the two-pounder gun, it was strange that Lashio would have 40mm shells.

"Yes!"

The staff officer immediately walked to the radio station after saluting and asked the communications corps to send an announcement.

After the 6th Army lost Releem, it began to retreat in the direction of Jingdong. On the 24th, the army commander Gan Lichu led the personnel of the headquarters to the vicinity of Mengshan and began to contain the remnants.

Feng went to the field hospital in the afternoon, and the tired doctors and nurses, with red eyes, still persevered at their own posts.

"Okay, pay attention to the condition of his wound and disinfect it regularly."

Dean Zhao dealt with a wounded soldier again and asked the nurse to carry him to the simple ward next to him.

"Dean, take a break! Just let us come with the remaining lightly wounded. ”

A doctor persuaded the dean, who had been tired for more than ten hours.

"Pay attention to the wound, pay special attention to the details if there is no risk of death, the better the wound is treated the first time, the faster they will recover; The rainy season in Myanmar is approaching, and being able to scab over wounds before the rainy season arrives will greatly reduce the risk of wound infection......"

Dean Zhao carefully admonished, and did not intend to stop; The soldiers have done their duty on the battlefield, and now it's their turn to be the doctor to complete their mission.
