The fierce battle between the Fifth Army and the devils continued, countless grenades dragged long streamers through the air, and the flashes from the explosions lit up the dark night sky from time to time, mixed with screams and gunfire.

"Stop shelling!"

On the Nalang position, the devil officer shouted; The devils used to bully the artillery of the Chinese defenders with their own heavy artillery on the Chinese battlefield, and they certainly knew the time to calculate the artillery position.

"Fast, fast, fast......"

The Burmese, who were waiting nearby, shouted, pushed the infantry cannon with all their might, and galloped through the town.

"Report! The devils stopped shelling, this time the calculations were in vain! ”

The report made Du Yuming frown, and he now had to weigh whether to let the sappers go down the river to continue the construction.

"How is the attack of the Special Service Group and the 96th Division?"

Du Yuming still didn't dare to take the risk and asked the staff officer.

"The first line of ground has been breached; The 288th Regiment has also crossed the river and should soon be able to support. ”

The chief of staff answered the question.

"After crossing the river, there are still more than 20 kilometers away from Lashio, and we must speed up the time!"

"Pick up the sapper barracks for me!"

Du Yuming frowned and decided to listen to what the engineer battalion had to say.

"Commander, the brethren are preparing on the shore, and when they can go down to the river, they can build the pontoon bridge in forty minutes."

The engineer battalion commander shouted the report.

"Now the devil artillery has stopped shelling, but their artillery positions have not been destroyed and may be reshelled at any time."

Du Yuming began to explain the situation, and he was waiting for the selection of the engineer battalion commander.

"Commander, wait for half an hour, and all preparations will be completed in half an hour, and then I will personally take the brothers down the river."

Of course, the commander of the engineer battalion understood what Du Yuming said, but now going down the river is not only an adventure, but the most important thing is that the bridge cannot be built at one time.

"Your Excellency, the first line of defense has been lost; Burmese volunteers suffered heavy casualties. ”

Narang, the devil Nakasa officer stayed in the fortifications, and their task was only to hold until two o'clock in the morning before retreating.

"No retreat, let them hold the second line of defense; The 2nd Squadron was ordered to enter the second line of defense, which had to hold out for three hours. ”

The devil officer looked at the time, there were still four hours before their scheduled defense time, during which time he was not ready to let the Chinese army attack Nalang, and he could hold out for at least two hours in the battle of Nalang, so that the sky would be almost dawn.

"How long will it take for the infantry artillery squadron to re-shell?"

The devil officer frowned, he couldn't let the tanks of the expeditionary force come over, if the tanks joined the battle, even at night, they would definitely not be able to hold their positions, and once they fell into a chaotic battle, the strength advantage of the expeditionary force would make them all shattered.

"Twenty minutes at the earliest."

A staff officer stared at the map and shifted the artillery position, which must not be nearby, that would be no different from no transfer.

"Order the artillery, every twenty minutes, it must be shelled."

The devil officer gritted his teeth, of course he knew how long it would take to build a bridge across the Nandu River, and according to the speed of the Japanese army, even if it was fully prepared, it would take at least thirty minutes.

"Commander, in the direction of Nalang, it looks very intense."

Ten kilometers northwest of the Nalang defensive line, the silent night shone from time to time with firelight, which was the impact of the explosion of artillery shells, which was very obvious in the dark night sky.

"Order the troops, speed up, Chief Du, they should be in trouble."

Feng Yi frowned, there was a river to the west of Nalang, the heavy equipment of the Fifth Army should have been stopped there now, and it was definitely impossible for the devils to leave the bridge over the river.

"Rodda, let your people go full speed ahead, stop searching."

Feng Ye shouted.

"Yes!"

Luo Da replied loudly, Feng Yi's meaning was obvious, now it was for the commandos to lure out the possible devil ambush soldiers to buy time for the large army behind.

"Speed up!"

"Keep up!"

……

Amid the shouts, the whole team picked up speed.

"Huhuhu......"

"Stop!"

……

In the rush of running, the leader of the assault detachment raised his hand and signaled the team to stop.

"Huhuhu......"

"Commander, there is a devil's defensive position ahead."

Covered in sweat, Rhoda rushed back to report.

"How many devils are there?"

Feng Yi frowned and asked.

"I don't know, there are a lot of campfires; The commandos did not dare to act rashly. ”

Roda shook his head, the commando firepower was not strong, they wanted to attack the fortified positions, and let the mortars and infantry come.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The sound of cannons in his ears kept coming, and it should not be far from Nalang, but Feng Ye didn't know how far they were from the place where the fire was exchanged.

"Let's see if we can call Chief Du."

Feng Yi beckoned the communication soldiers, the Americans' walkie-talkies have a talking distance, theoretically the call distance can reach nine kilometers, but I don't know if it is because of the terrain of Myanmar or the problem of signal reception, Feng Yi has been trying, but there is no response.

"Cave Turn, Hole Turn, I am Hole Turn, I am Hole Turn, please answer when you receive it, please answer when you receive it, please answer when you receive it......"

The Signal Corps adjusted the frequency of the call, crouched on the ground and kept shouting.

"Zilala......"

There was nothing in the microphone except the sound of electricity, and the communication soldier shook his head helplessly.

"Follow me to the front!"

Feng Yi frowned, it would be too late to send a telegram now, and there was no way to describe the current position, he was eager to have a voice call with the Fifth Army.

"That's it!"

When they reached the edge of the campfire, Feng Ye and the communication soldier squatted in the forest, and the communication soldier picked up the walkie-talkie again.

"Left 002, Fifty Meters ......"

As soon as the communications corps prepared the walkie-talkie, a shout came from the receiver, and it was the walkie-talkie of the special service battalion calling to the artillerymen.

"Cave Turn, Hole Turn, I am Hole Turn, I am Hole Turn, please answer when you receive it, please answer when you receive it, please answer when you receive it......"

The communication soldier with a happy face picked up the microphone and shouted anxiously.

"Commander, there is still no answer, but we can hear their calls, it should be the attacking troops calling for artillery support."

After several times in a row, the communications soldier put down the microphone and reported helplessly.

"Give it to me!"

Feng took the microphone and headphones.

"I'm Feng Yi, the person who receives it, please call Chief Du, and the person who receives it, please call Chief Du......"

Feng Yi now only hoped that the walkie-talkie that was following the troops to attack would receive his own call.

"Da Da Da ......"

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

"Bang, bang, bang......"

"Boom, boom, boom......"

On the Nalang position, the gunfire continued, and after occupying the first line of defense, the special service battalion could not attack quickly, and they found that most of the Burmese killed on the position were Burmese, and the defense line in front of them was obviously denser with more firepower.

"Battalion commander, a person named Feng Ye calls in the walkie-talkie, and asks the person who hears it to call Chief Du."

In the trenches, the communications soldiers shouted, bent down and ran to the side of the battalion commander Li Gongyu.

"Feng Yi? Isn't he guarding Lashio? Give me! ”

Li Gongyu snatched the walkie-talkie.

"I'm Li Gongyu, the commander of the special service battalion, am I Commander Feng?"

Li Gongyu shouted.

"I'm Feng Yi, Battalion Commander Li, please call Commander Du, we have now arrived in the northwest of Nalang......"

The sound of reply from the earpiece made Feng Ye overjoyed and shouted urgently.
