All the heavy firepower of the expeditionary force finally worked in this weather, and the strong positions of the devils could not even resist two waves of attacks, and the tanks covered the infantry and advanced directly to the position, and then there was a one-sided slaughter, and the equipment of the devils could not compete with automatic fire in trench warfare.

The various bunkers and pillboxes on which the devil's position depended were named one by one by anti-aircraft guns, anti-aircraft guns, and battle defense guns during the battle, and the broken positions were full of devils' corpses, and after the blood was washed away by the rain, the entire position seemed to be stained red with blood.

Feng Yi led people to collect the wounded soldiers of the new 22nd Division on the position, and after a simple treatment, continued to advance towards Rolling.

"Army commander, the devil's position has been breached, Division Commander Liao called, they are advancing towards Rolling Lane, it is only less than ten kilometers away from Rolling Lane, the devil relies on the mountains and hills of Rolling Lane to defend layer by layer, and the brothers are uprooting ...... one by one"

In the marching queue, Luo Youlun reported the situation to Du Yuming.

"If the devils don't have shore fortifications on the other side of the Salween River, then our final trouble will only be more than ten kilometers."

Today may be the best day for Du Yuming, the attacking troops are advancing under strong firepower, and the guide who picks up him is only on the way, so it can be said that the last trouble before returning to China is only the Salween River.

The logistics troops and the night hospital were moving slowly, but even so, the sound of gunfire was getting clearer and clearer.

"Let the troops stop and rest for an hour."

Du Yuming finally gave the order to repair, and marched in the rain, and the physical exertion of the brothers was very great.

"Take care of the wounded and fix where they are."

Inside the forest, raindrops kept falling from the branches overhead, but it was much better than being drenched in the rain outside, Feng Yi took off his raincoat, and the stinky sweat in his body drifted around with the mountain wind.

"Boom!"

There were no dry branches to start the fire, but it was not difficult for the soldiers, and the logistics troops had a little fuel for the tanks and trucks, which fell on the wet trees, and in the blink of an eye the fire was rising.

The iron kettle was now in use, and the brothers wanted to drink a little hot water from the fact that there was an iron pot on top of the fire, a mountain spring that the brothers had brought in and a water pot placed in the narration of the fire.

"Salt water, drink a little."

Of course, the hot water in the pot is not simply fired, a small amount of salt is put in it, and it is distributed after boiling, whether it is a war horse or a person, after drinking salt water, it is good for the recovery of physical strength.

"Keep going!"

More than an hour later, the signal corps of the Fifth Army shouted orders; The new 22nd Division could already see the buildings scattered in the mountains in Rolling Town, and the strip-shaped buildings would not be the devil's bunkers, because the two complete displays in front of them did not stop the expeditionary force with full firepower.

"Sir, Senior Commander Liao called, and no devils were found in Rolling Town; They were collecting supplies to cross the river, and no Burmese were found in the town. ”

Luo Youlun reported the situation with a telegram, and at this time, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon, and they were less than two kilometers away from rolling.

There were not many houses in the town, and the houses were given priority to accommodate the wounded soldiers, and the brothers of the 85th Regiment were assigned two thatched huts, but no food or game was found in the houses, but fortunately, the iron pots for cooking were left.

"There must be Dai people in the surrounding forests, they like to live by the water, find them, and try to ......capture them alive as much as possible."

The assault teams were concentrated, and now the entire expeditionary force was scattered into small units, which were to look for something to cross the river.

The Salween River is very wide in the rolling river, the water is also very deep, the narrowest part of the water surface is more than 200 meters, there is no ferry, I am afraid that the engineer battalion can only use rafts to row across the river, the most important thing is that the river is too long, to rely on ropes to support and fix all the rafts, relying on this to erect pontoon bridges, it is indeed a bit difficult, because the water level of the Salween River is already rising.

Before nightfall, all the sappers were busy, including the doors and floors, and all the timber that could be used to build the pontoon bridge was rudely removed by the sappers, and not only that, but many more brothers were cutting wood in the field and dragging it to the river for processing.

"Commander, the devils have collected all the boats in the town, and some of the lightly armed devils crossed the river to the opposite side two days ago, I'm afraid we will encounter resistance when we erect a pontoon bridge."

On the phone, the reconnaissance unit was holding a walkie-talkie and reporting the latest situation.

"How many devils are there? What equipment do they have? ”

Du Yuming held the earpiece, what he was most worried about happened, the heavy equipment could not cross the river, and after pouring the rightmost ammunition here, I was afraid that he could only push them down the Salween River.

"I don't know how many devils have passed, the only thing that is certain is that they didn't carry heavy equipment......"

On the phone, the reconnaissance force was very sure, because this section of the river is fair to all the troops crossing the river, without erecting a strong enough pontoon bridge, there can be no heavy equipment to cross, and the devils do not even have a trace of a simple pontoon bridge, they just rely on an unknown number of ferries to cross the river, for them, the Dai people's ferry, it is impossible to transport their infantry guns over, and even the heavy machine guns have to be disassembled to cross the river.

"Order the engineer battalion to prepare a batch of improvised means to cross the river at night, and send some of the brothers across the river."

"Let the artillery build positions along the river, and the three kilometers of the east bank must be within the range of the shelling."

"Order the guard battalion to cross the river tomorrow morning, carry walkie-talkies, open up the beachhead, and ensure the safety of the bridge-building troops."

……

On May 10th, under the cover of the rain, the expeditionary force successfully arrived at their destination, and the devil's troops assembled with difficulty in the muddy water and slowly surrounded them.

Similarly, the Expeditionary Force now has a different role, and before they cross the river, they become the defenders.

Because heavy weapons could not cross the river, all the anti-aircraft guns, tanks, anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns were now placed in the forward positions, waiting for the devils to attack.

The 85th regiment had no mission, and after dinner, the brothers were naked, washing their uniforms with rainwater, and they were taking advantage of the last time to reserve their strength.

"Rest well, after entering the jungle, you can go as far as you want."

Feng Ye closed his eyes, lying on the wooden board of the attic, around him, there were people lying everywhere, at this time, no one cared how crowded it was, it was already good to be able to find a place that was not raining, and even the eaves outside were full of tired soldiers.

In all the rooms, the soldiers in the room have never stopped, they process all the remaining grain of the expeditionary force, and turn it into dry food for the march, after crossing the river, I am afraid there will be no cooking utensils.
