The troops attacking Dabanga soon set out from Simbeiyang, and the two high grounds, which did not need the new 38th Division to go together, especially now with a large number of artillery and automatic firepower, in the opinion of General Sun Liren, a regiment, plus thirty-six 155 howitzers of the three howitzer battalions of the American army, all the officers believed that the position would be within reach.

"Look, that's the difference!"

In the small town of Xinbeiyang, the brethren of the commando team watched the brethren of the new 38th Division pass through the town non-stop, and the rifles on their backs were not M1 Garand rifles, but the Spring rifles eliminated by the U.S. Army, which were still bolt-action rifles, which were their main rifles.

"That's supposed to be the guard company and the reconnaissance company, and the guys they have in their hands are different."

A squad leader stared at the approaching team and muttered, unlike the rare Thomson and Browning light machine guns in ordinary infantry companies, in this team, a large number of Thomson and carbines were equipped, and even Browning light machine guns were obviously more; Of course, the heavy machine guns they are equipped with are the same, the American-made Browning heavy machine guns, the appearance is not much different from the Maxim they are familiar with, at this time, all countries in the world, except for the German MG series and the French series (the Japanese army's Type 92 heavy machine gun is also copied from France, using the same bullet plate feed), most of the rest of the countries are developed from the basis of Makqin.

In the infantry ranks, in addition to rifles or bolt-action rifles, their firepower is actually not as bad as the commando brothers see, they have two 60 mortars in each platoon, and the division headquarters and regiment headquarters also have independent artillery companies and artillery battalions, this kind of firepower is much better than in the country, and even the firepower of the Japanese army is not comparable, which is why they dare to attack two heights with one regiment.

And Feng Ye is now also preparing to go, General Haig has given the order, and the second detachment, Brigadier General Merrier, has sent two companies, which have already made a detour in the direction of Magao, and they are going to prepare for reinforcements.

As for why the Americans chose the direction of Ma Gao, which had no intelligence, it was because Feng Jie's reconnaissance learned that Meng Huan's side was the elite Naga special attack team of the Japanese army, and the Americans were afraid of conducting a special war with them in the jungle, and for the American army, relying on firepower on the position was a good way to ravage the Japanese.

"Commander, if we leave, there will be very few brothers in Xin Beiyang, why don't you let Zhang Chuan send a company back?"

Inside the camp, Min Fei was also preparing, he took away the entire battalion of brothers, Meng Huan's Nagar special attack team was not weak in combat, they needed to be cautious.

"No, every brother in the Commando is a fighter? Can I make up three more companies here? Never mind. ”

Feng Ye is not worried about the safety here? The jungle to the south is now covered by minefields, and only vigilant sentinels need to enter the jungle every day; Three battalions were scattered, and he also had a guard company, a reconnaissance company, a communications platoon, and logistics personnel; Besides, as a last resort? And the British and American troops here? Although they are unreliable? It's better than nothing.

"Feng? Two days before the start of the battle? With the capture of Dabanga, the new army was able to sweep the area east of the Tanai River. ”

In the camp of the commandos, Brigadier General Merrill also came here? It is now the forward command of the Sino-American mixed assault detachment.

"General, my brother has been fighting? Here and here, there are battles every day? The field hospital in Xinbeiyang was full of wounded soldiers of the commandos. ”

Feng Yi shook his head, in fact, his current casualties are not as large as the casualties of the new 38th Division, and the new 38th Division's hard defense for a while ago was tossed by the Japanese and Burmese in the forest.

"This is war, and as far as I know, your casualties are not casualties in your country, are they?"

"Alright, Colonel, it's getting dark, we might as well go to the club and relax......"

Brigadier General Merrill invited Feng Ye, it was too early, and he didn't want to sleep.

"Okay!"

Feng Ye nodded, in the base, he had nothing to do except toss himself sweating all over his body, now that the commando team is on the right track, if it weren't for the whole army attacking, he would basically not have the opportunity to go to the battlefield now.

"Dripping Dangdang ......"

In the melodious music, Feng Ye held a wine glass, his eyes kept rolling, admiring the exotic beauties inside; The beautiful Anne didn't show up, perhaps because the recent military operation had kept her busy; Feng Ye didn't care, and after drinking two beers, he returned to the camp alone while no one was paying attention.

At night on the India-Myanmar border, the rain is getting heavier and heavier, and even lightning and thunder appear when it gets dark.

"Bah, Bah, Bah......"

The downpour made Feng Ng's raincoat useless, and pulling the rain on his face, Feng Que washed his face, sat on the chair again, and looked at the latest military intelligence briefing.

The heavy rain at night was not good news for the Japanese soldiers on the high ground, who had to hold on to the rainy position, and they also had to face the troubles caused by the heavy rain, such as water accumulation in the trenches, collapse of fortifications, etc.

And for the soldiers of China and the United States, because there are a large number of cars to travel, they will not risk marching in such heavy rain.

"The offensive began; The vanguard of the new 38th Division had already exchanged fire with the Japanese, and the town of Dabanga could not even block the attack of a company, and was overcome under artillery fire. ”

In the headquarters of the Sino-American coalition forces, the chief of staff Paterno was in charge of the command here, and the staff officers reported the battle situation on the front line, and it was only the beginning of the third day, and the two heights of the Japanese army were separated into two independent positions, which was good news for the attacking troops.

"We have a lot of artillery reserves, this afternoon, a 155-class howitzer regiment will arrive at the position, and then the supporting fire will be even more powerful, the Japanese will not be able to hold it, I bet that tomorrow we will take the whole of Dabanga; Colonel Brown, it looks like your troops will only have two days to rest. ”

Paterno had a smile on his face, and the first battle of the Sino-American coalition was looking very strong at the moment.

"General, the Chindit troops are in an emergency."

In the midst of laughter and laughter, rumbling sounds sounded in my ears from time to time, some were thunder, and some were the movement of artillery positions in the distance; A staff officer walked in with a telegram.

Of course, the staff officer said that the 77th Indian Infantry Brigade was numbered in the Anglo-Indian Army, and that half of its members were British, and the other half were Indians and Burmese.

It was formed in the later part of the first Arakan Campaign, and the reason why it was called the "Chindit Force" was because the famous British general Wingate who formed this force hoped that this force could be supported by the Burmese, because the quality of the British soldiers was not high, and the environment of the Burmese tropical jungle made many soldiers from the cold British homeland unable to adapt to this environment, so the officers hoped to recruit Indians and Burmese to enrich their combat effectiveness, so they borrowed the Burmese legend that can go to the sky and enter the sea Naming it, they hoped that the Burmese would protect the honor, which was actually similar to the "Bomojo" made by the Japanese.

The mission of this unit is the same as that of Feng Yi's commando, which is also a special force that conducts reconnaissance, sabotage, and sneak attacks behind enemy lines.
