The intelligence came from the Chindit troops, and the American staff officers attached more importance to this, after all, they had been in this land for so long, and they had many sources of intelligence.

"The Japanese army has increased its forces in Dabanga, and the new 38th Division that captures Dabanga is in danger and needs to be increased immediately."

Chief of Staff Paterno put down the information, his tone full of concern.

"What's wrong?"

The chief of staff of the new 38th Division frowned, took the information, and took a quick look at it.

"The intelligence hasn't been confirmed yet, but it's possible, otherwise the Japanese wouldn't have let us capture the town of Dabanga so easily."

"Order the 114th Regiment to immediately build fortifications, and the Japanese may shell them at any time."

"Order the 112th Regiment to arrive at Xinbeiyang ...... tomorrow morning"

After the chief of staff of the new 38th Division issued two orders in succession, he finally remembered that he should report to the division commander first, and hurried to the telephone.

"According to our reconnaissance and intelligence estimates in Ling State three days ago, the Japanese army should have only one brigade in this vicinity, and their brigade also has part of the Burmese defense forces, so their combat effectiveness will not be very strong; But now the British claim to have discovered the Japanese artillery unit, according to the intelligence judgment, it is estimated that there will be three artillery units, the types of artillery include infantry artillery, field artillery and mountain artillery, among them, there are also British 5.5-inch guns; then there must be reinforcements from the Japanese army, I don't know if the Japanese army has only arrived in the last few days, but the new 38th Division is definitely not facing a brigade, the three artillery units of the Japanese army, at least the formation of a wing......

With the information in hand, the staff officers of the US military were discussing in a whisper.

Since the 114th Regiment began to attack, Wang Ning and Zhang Chuan's mission has changed, they only need to protect the safety of the artillery position now, and Min Fei is now making a detour towards Meng, and he has not encountered enemy troops now, so Feng Yi can now think from the perspective of a bystander.

"Damn the British, they were so deductible when they gave us equipment, I didn't expect to be so generous to the devils, how much equipment did they leave for the Japanese in Burma?"

Listening to the 5.5-inch cannon, Feng Yi remembered the breakthrough in western Burma some time ago, the huge power of the 5.5-inch cannon for the infantry, he was terrified when he thought about it, the Japanese army was so complete that as long as it was bombarded by artillery shells, it could not be carried by the frontal bombardment; how could the brothers of the 114th Regiment resist in that town?

"Let's hope their luck is better!"

Feng Ye could only pray like this, he couldn't just say here that the 114th Regiment should retreat! I'm afraid that will be ridiculed by everyone.

"Order the Air Force reconnaissance plane, patrol the sky over Dabanga around the clock, find the Japanese artillery position, and blow it up immediately."

"Order the artillery regiment to change the artillery fire supporting the new 38th Division to one battalion for artillery bombardment, and the rest of the artillery will be scattered and set up artillery positions, ready to launch a counterattack at any time, and not let the Japanese artillery open fire indiscriminately......"

The US staff officers also think of a way, and their method is always to use aircraft against artillery positions, or to destroy enemy artillery positions with more violent cannon fodder, and this has already formed a stereotyped thinking for them.

But this is the rainy season, and the Japanese army relies on this, and does not worry about the air at all, there is mountain fog and cumulonimbus clouds, and their artillery can shell at will; Besides, on the battlefield in Burma, they still have a lot of anti-aircraft firepower, so they are not afraid of low-altitude dive bombing by aircraft.

It's already dark, and the town of Dabanga is now busy, they are now busy demolishing houses, digging bunkers, preparing for the shelling of devils and the counterattack at night.

"There is also a plan, that is, let the second detachment of the detour Ma Gao find the artillery position of the devil......"

Feng Yi muttered in a low voice, if the first detachment detoured to the front line of Magao, I am afraid that the order would have come down at this time, but now it is the turn of the Americans, I don't know if Paterno has such a decisive order, after all, it is very dangerous to operate behind enemy lines; It is impossible for the Japanese artillery positions to be without defensive forces, and attacking the positions with fortifications is also a test for the attacking troops, especially since Unit 5307 has no heavy firepower, and it is a problem that they are reluctant to fill it with human lives.

"It's time for dinner, so let's eat first......"

The Americans and the British can never forget the three meals a day, even in wartime, these officers will eat and sleep without moving, for them, there are officers on duty, small things will not look for them, big things naturally no one can run away.

"Dabanga's troubles, none of our business; Let's go to the club for a break? ”

General Merrill looked leisurely, changed into a clean military uniform after the meal, hung all kinds of colorful medals on his chest, and invited Feng Yi to go with him.

"General, I'm not going, I'm going to stay here, you can do it!"

Feng Ye refused, Min Fei didn't know what to do now, he had to wait for the radio telegram at any time, and it was the first time that he didn't command with the battalion, and he was a little uneasy.

The Japanese army is now the same as the Chinese army on the Chinese battlefield, they now also want to use the night to engage in night battles and close combat with the Chinese army with firepower superiority, so they are now actively preparing for a counterattack; Prepare to wipe out all the Chinese troops who have captured the small town of Dabanga.

"Puff, be ......"

The sound of the rain on a rainy night covered their movement close to the town, but it also brought great trouble to the Japanese army, such as slippery roads, poor communication, and inconvenient command; The queue of the entire Japanese army dragged on longer and longer, and they had to form a formation outside the town to prepare for the final attack.

"Tell the warriors, don't make any noise, get close to the town, go directly to the Chinese's positions, and deal with them with bayonets."

The officer led by the devil told that after the team was reorganized, they did not have to wait for artillery cover, and once the artillery was used, it was naturally to tell the Chinese that they were coming, and they did not want to give the Chinese army time to react.

In the town, the brothers of the 114th Regiment used the original buildings in the town to make a lot of artillery bunkers, and on the road that runs through the town, the brothers made a lot of sandbags, and all kinds of materials from the demolition of the houses were used by them on the defense line.

The Chinese army is good at this, whether it is the original veteran or the new soldier, they are all good at building fortifications, and in the Chinese army, this craft is not the patent of the engineer regiment.

"Be careful, keep an eye on it, don't forget about hiding from the rain."

In the sound of the rain, the officer on duty patrolled the town, reminding the sentries to keep an eye on the surroundings and not to be touched by the devils.

"Boom ......"

The muffled thunder of the rainy night made the brothers' hearts tense at any time, and they looked behind them, the town was quiet, and it was not the shelling of the Japanese army.

"Remember where our mines are buried? Staring at those places, if there is a flash, the devil is coming. ”

As the rain intensified, the brothers in the town became chickens, their raincoats not sheltering from the all-pervasive rain.
