Chapter 958: Take over the attack!
The new camp of the Fifth Army was on the east bank of the Qingshui River, and the new 22nd and 96th Divisions fought with the devils in that forest during the day, and the devils of the 56th Division did not carry infantry artillery because they were lightly armed, and similarly, the mountain artillery and battle defense artillery of the expeditionary force did not join the battlefield, because they were afraid of attracting the devils' planes to bomb.
Throughout the day, the two sides exchanged fire repeatedly with machine guns and rifles in the woods and hills, and the devils retreated step by step, and the expeditionary force was getting closer and closer.
"Bang, bang, bang......"
"Sudden ......"
"Boom, boom......"
Accompanied by the sound of mountain artillery shelling in front of him, Feng Yi's ears heard the sound of rifles and Thomson shooting from time to time, and occasional grenades exploded in the middle.
"Do your own thing."
Facing Luo Da's puzzled gaze, Feng Yi also knew that the gunfire just now came from the left and right wings, and the transfer of the logistics baggage troops was not so safe, and the Burmese and devils would definitely harass him, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.
"Hmph, it's really a good job after the break!"
It was already completely dark, looking at the torches in the baggage troops, Feng Yi shook his head slightly, this is like a candlelight in the night, seducing this moth and constantly pounced, but now it is not only the moth that pounces, the Burmese and the devil are holding guns, trying to wrap them up from both sides and attack the logistics troops of the expeditionary force.
"Boom......"
Amid the sound of footsteps trampling on the dirt, Feng Ye was less than 300 meters behind the logistics team, stopping and walking from time to time, in case the enemy pounced from behind.
In the second half of the night, perhaps because the devils and the Burmese had suffered too much damage in the bushes, they finally gave up the attack, and the gunfire gradually stopped.
"Are you all here?"
On the side of the Qingshui River, the commander of the engineering regiment of the military headquarters asked Feng Yi that the camp was on the east side of the Qingshui River, and they wanted to dismantle the things that built the bridge, so that even if the devils caught up, they would have to attack with water, and there would be a good buffer for the defending troops.
"It's all here."
Feng Yi nodded, the last team had come down from the bridge, there were still two hours before dawn, their transfer speed tonight exceeded Du Yuming's imagination, Feng Ng's group defense tactics made the harassment of the devils unable to touch the transferred logistics troops, the team would not stop, and the natural speed would not be slow.
"Commander, a battalion killed twelve brothers and wounded eight ......"
As soon as they entered the camp, Feng Ye received a casualty report, and the gunfire at night, they were not without losses, in fact, the losses were still quite large, with more than 30 casualties, more than 20 dead, and more than 10 wounded.
"Old rules, take them."
After Feng Ye finished speaking, he wanted to arrange the defense line at night, in addition to the defense of the left and right flanks, there was also the front line of the Qingshui River that needed to be guarded.
In the raging flames, the brothers who died in battle were reduced to ashes in the firelight, wrapped in tarpaulin, tied with their identification plates, and placed in wooden boxes.
Entering the camp, the big tent in the middle of the camp was brightly lit, Du Yuming was answering the phone, it seemed that the frontline attack was not going well, and Du Yuming was cursing.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
At this time, the shelling of mountain artillery and howitzers became fierce again.
"At least twenty guns are shelling, what position has the devil made in front and can't take it?"
Feeling the sound of shelling in my ears, I have been fighting all night, how do I feel that I have not advanced much?
"The devil has taken over here, here ......"
Inside the tent, the staff officer was marking on the map, in front of the Fifth Army, the troops of the 56th Division were gathering more and more, and infantry artillery and mountain artillery also joined the battlefield.
"The tanks could not go up to the high ground, so they could only be supported by tank guns and machine guns at the bottom of the mountain, and the brothers who attacked the mountain could only attack on foot......"
Luo Youda's voice came from inside the tent from time to time, and Feng Ye unconsciously approached the tent.
"Is it Feng Yi? Come on in! ”
When Feng Ye found himself too close, Luo Youda's voice came from inside.
"Sir!"
Feng Ye stepped into the tent hard, and several people inside looked at Feng Jie.
"How many more men are left in your troops?"
Du Yuming waved his hand so that Feng Yi didn't have to be polite.
"After Commander Chen died in battle, I integrated the two regiments; In addition to the anti-aircraft artillery units that were supported at the front, there were now more than 3,000 brothers; On the way here, more than 30 brothers were lost. ”
Feng Ye prayed in his heart, he deliberately understated the number, in fact, he still has nearly four thousand people.
"The casualties of the 96th Division have exceeded 3,000, and the casualties of the new 22nd Division have exceeded 2,500; Moreover, these two divisions have been attacking in turn for the past two days, and the brothers are very tired; Tomorrow night, how about you taking over the attack of the 96th Division? ”
Du Yuming tried to put it more reasonable, he didn't want to leave an impression of consuming miscellaneous cards in Feng Ng's heart, because he wanted to integrate Feng Que into his troops.
In fact, he could now reorganize Feng Yi's headquarters into the Fifth Army, because the 66th Army and the new 28th Division had already cancelled their numbers, and the division commander and army commander had already been suspended for investigation.
"Don't worry, your battle defense artillery will still be returned to you, and cooperate with your attack; Not only that, but I'll give you another mortar battery; When attacking, you can call for artillery support at any time, and ten mountain guns can support your attack at any time......"
Du Yuming didn't wait for Feng Ye to speak, and told him all the fire support he could give now.
"Yes, sir."
When it came to this, Feng Ye didn't have anything to say, only to receive orders; Moreover, Du Yuming did not give a lot of support.
"When the day comes, you go directly to this position, and you have a whole day during the day to find out the situation of the devil's position......
After Du Yuming explained, he asked Feng Ye to rest and prepare by himself; Replacing Feng Ye to replace Yu Shao in the attack, he was also forced to do so, the 96th Division is now a tired division, and their strength is only more than 5,000 people, and they must be repaired before they can continue to attack.
Around the camp, in addition to Feng Yi's headquarters, there is also a guard battalion of the military department on guard, which is relatively safe here, a guard battalion, with a large number of heavy machine guns and bunkers, it is not so easy for devils to attack it.
"Let the brethren rest all and prepare for the attack after daybreak."
Feng Yi was not polite, and directly asked the brothers to come down from the sentry post, not far from dawn, and the brothers had little time to rest.
"Let's go!"
The day finally dawned, with all the equipment and ammunition, Feng Yi led the 85th Regiment forward again, and the location marked by Du Yuming was still more than ten kilometers away from here.
"Sir."
As soon as the morning dawned, the gunfire stopped, and Feng Ye finally arrived at their destination, in a forest, Yu Shao was waiting for him; In the clearing, there were many wounded soldiers wailing and waiting for the truck to come and take them back to the field hospital.
