The area east of the Qingshui River and west of the Salween River was full of gunfire and shouts of killing, not only the 85th Regiment was attacking, but the new 22nd Division was also attacking forward at a horizontal distance of only five kilometers from Feng Yi.

In two directions, attacking at the same time, whoever hits the Salween first, from where the Fifth Army will cross.

"Commander, I just got the news; The artillery position of the commander of the high battalion was hit by the artillery fire of the devil's counterattack; Battalion Commander Gao has been martyred. ”

Wang Ying took a telegram and handed it to Feng Yi.

"Whew!"

"Call back to the Mountain Artillery Regiment and ask for continued shelling."

Feng Yi was a little sad, Meng Lezeng was just hit by a devil's grenade when he was attacking the high ground, and he was turned into a part along with a battle defense gun; Unexpectedly, Gao Yushu also died, and along with Gao Yushu, there were three mountain cannons and more than 20 brothers.

"Boom, boom......"

The roar of the shell explosion sounded incessantly in the dark night, not only the mountain artillery of the expeditionary force was shelling, but also the field artillery and mountain artillery of the devils joined the battle, and the fierce gunfire was like fried beans, and the fire continued to sound throughout the area without extinguishing it.

"Captain, the brethren are here."

The night gradually receded, and Feng Ye led the brothers to fight hard all night, breaking through the nowhere position of the devils, but their losses were also very large, nearly a thousand brothers were martyred, and more than 500 were seriously wounded; Now there are less than 2,500 people left in the regiment who can fight.

"Four tanks are also already on standby, just now Commander Zhu called, three positions, a total of twenty mountain guns, no mountain artillery shells have been prepared; Shelling is ready at any time. ”

Min Fei squatted next to Feng Yi and reported the situation.

"Tell the brethren to catch their breath, eat something, and attack again when it is almost dawn."

Feng Yi's voice was tired.

"Don't go any further?"

Wang Ning looked at the sky, there was still more than an hour before dawn, with the help of tanks, the position in front of him should not be difficult to break; However, the regiment commander said that he would attack again when it was almost dawn, which meant that he would not attack further.

"The situation ahead is unknown, and this position is not so easy to break."

Feng Yi shook his head, after dawn, they would definitely face the bombardment of the devil's plane, he wanted to get a position for the brothers to hide from the artillery, otherwise they would be chased everywhere by the devil after dawn.

"Battalion Commander Wang, this position, I have seen it during the day, and more than 600 meters forward from the position of the bonfire, you can see the trenches of the devils; They built a complete fortification, and I saw at least three trenches......"

Rhoda whispered.

"Whew!"

Wang Ning and Min Fei glanced at each other and nodded slightly, they no longer insisted on rashly attacking.

According to Luo Da's introduction, Feng Yi estimated that there were definitely hidden soldiers and machine gun bunkers on this position, and even semi-underground bunkers would not be missing.

Tanks attacked at night with a bad line of sight, and they relied entirely on their rough skin and thick flesh to serve as cover for the infantry, and with the help of infantry firepower to clear the trenches; But even with infantry cover, in the battle ahead, they still lost two tanks; The death squad bombing tanks does not belong to the patent of Chinese soldiers, and the devils do not hesitate to use it.

"Commander, Chief Du telegraph."

The communications soldier hurried over with a telegram in hand.

"Call back to Chief Du: The 85th Regiment suffered more than 1,500 casualties, and there is no guarantee whether the current position can be taken......

Feng Yi dictated the content of the telegram, to put it bluntly, it was a miserable sale, it was only a little more than an hour before dawn, and he asked to attack five kilometers forward, isn't this?

"The attack of the new 22nd Division did not go well, they were at least five kilometers behind us, and we are now alone in the depths."

Feng Yi looked up at the sky, and there were no stars in the dark night sky. Longlong

"Let the artillery observer reconfirm the call of the walkie-talkie, and be sure to ensure the accuracy of the shelling!"

"Send a telegram to Commander Zhu, and shell it after half an hour, for twenty-five minutes."

Feng Yi looked at the time, Gao Yushu was killed in battle, and he didn't dare to let the artillery shelling last more than half an hour now.

"Tell the brethren to start attacking in half an hour."

"After the shelling begins, Zhang Chuan, your troops will step on the artillery fire, press to the front of the devil's position two hundred meters, and look for cover on the spot!"

"Min Fei, your unit follows the tank."

"Wang Ning, you feint from the left."

"Roda, you follow me, let's go to the right."

Feng Ye made the final deployment before the battle, there was no reserve, for him, this was the last battle before dawn, and after the battle, the brothers would have cover, and if they couldn't fight it, they would take advantage of the devil's plane to run away quickly.

"Tonight should be the last madness of the Chinese, his female horse, one night, breaking through several positions in a row, the Chinese are really crazy."

On the front position, several devil officers sat in the underground bunker, smoking cigarettes and muttering.

"Baga, it's night, they even dare to use tanks, that's not crazy, it's the end of the road."

……

"Hmph, even if it's madness, they're already at the end of it, and they will definitely not be able to break through our positions; How's the preparation on the ground? ”

Listening to the conversation of the staff officers, a devil officer wearing the rank of Dazuo raised his head, his eyes full of confidence.

"Your Excellency, the First Brigade and five hundred Burmese soldiers are already on the ground; The two squadrons of the reserve were on standby in the second trench, and if the Chinese dared to come, they would be strewn with corpses. ”

The staff officer stood up and reported.

"We don't have anti-tank weapons, are the death squads ready?"

Officer Osa's question was repeated, for this question had already been asked three times since he received the loss of the front position.

"Five hundred Burmese, all death squads, have already distributed explosives packs to them, and as soon as Chinese tanks appear on the position, they will ......"

"Yaga! Syllable! ”

In the midst of the curse, a loud slap of the staff officer quickly bowed his head and bent over, and the rest of the words were punched into his stomach.

"The Burmese are unreliable, if they were really that powerful, would the Chinese still attack here?"

The officer pointed to the west and shouted loudly; The 85th Regiment's attack tonight, most of the positions were Burmese, and the result? They couldn't even stop the Chinese attack, and let so many excellent Japanese officers die with them in vain.

"Hello!"

The staff officers who were beaten did not dare to resist, and they did not even dare to raise their heads.

"Order each squadron to form a death squad, mix in the Burmese, use their flesh as cover, and be sure to blow up the Chinese tanks."

"In the first trench, one squadron remains, all the rest are withdrawn to the second trench, and the reserves are withdrawn to the third trench."

Officer Osa's eyes looked at the night sky, and the command coming out of his mouth made all the officers feel incredible.

"For the death squad to function, it is necessary to keep the Chinese tanks close to the trenches, and the death squads charge too long and can only become targets at Chinese gun......"

The officer muttered, all the officers nodded silently, and then one by one they quickly ran to the telephone to give the latest orders to the defending troops.
