The 112th Regiment had advanced to the edge of the town of Xinpingyang, and the Japanese army had just organized troops to drive out of the town and prepared to enter the position, but it was too late at this time, and the brothers of the 112th Regiment occupied the New Pingyang like a withered and decaying one.

"Hit!"

In the north, in the same way, after dawn, the US planes came again, this time the difference was that they used conventional aerial bombs to bomb the fortifications and bunkers of the devils, and the brothers of the new 22nd Division were organizing an attack.

The back road was cut off, which further inspired the devil's determination to fight to the death, under the supervision of the officers, even the Burmese began to fight desperately, and in the earth-shattering shouts of killing, the new 28th Division and the new 22nd Division solved the enemy in the north from both sides, and then swept the entire New Pingyang.

"Send a report to the command that New Pingyang has been occupied."

On the evening of October 29, the Chinese Expeditionary Force captured Xinpingyang, the largest stronghold of the Japanese army in the Hukang River Valley, and conquered the strongholds of Keningbian, Lasujia, and Wananguan, opening the northern gate into the Hukang River Valley.

Feng Ye took the brothers into the town, for the commando, the brothers of the expeditionary force did not look down on them because they did not participate in the battle and watched the play in the back, they knew too well the reason why the attack went so smoothly, and the casualties of the commando team in the early stage were also very large, a long line of stretchers was being carried into the Japanese army hospital in Xinpingyang, and now it has been emptied and turned into a hospital for the expeditionary force.

At this time, Xinpingyang was lost, and it was lost so quickly, that the division commander of the 18th Division of the Japanese Army, Tanaka Shinichi, was originally urgently transferred to the 56th Wing to reinforce Xinpingyang, but at this time it was still on the way, and it also turned into a counteroffensive.

"General Stilwell telegram."

The new front-line headquarters is located in the small town of Xinpingyang, although it has just experienced the war and the air is still full of blood, but it is much better than the wilderness.

"Feng Yi, Stilwell's Commander-in-Chief Order No. 6, ordered to occupy the junction of Da Luo to the Da Long River and the Danai River, as well as the line of Xia Laoka, and then the new 22nd Division and the new 38th Division to launch a ...... on the line of Lajiasu, Yubang, and Lingan"

Liao Yaoxiang handed the telegram to his chief of staff, who read it aloud, and as he dictated, the staff officer kept marking the target on the map.

"What's the plan?"

Feng Yi frowned, this is a series of battle plans, at the moment they must be attacking outward step by step, and now it is Sun Liren's turn to make a specific attack plan, because the front-line command is still in Xinbeting, and it will be a few days before they come.

When the time comes, they will be accompanied by the Americans' engineering units, and in the Allied plan, New Pingyang will be built into an important forward base on the road, and large military facilities including ammunition depots, field hospitals, and forward airfields will be built.

This base is so big, there is definitely no way to wait for the road to be repaired here before it is built, and the engineering troops need to come here in advance to build it.

"Here's a piece of British intelligence, according to the intelligence, our plan is like this, there is a ferry in the southeast, which is the closest ferry to us on the Dalong River, and the task of the commando team is to occupy this crossing, to ensure that the follow-up troops can cross the Dalong River smoothly, and then the troops of the New First Army will attack Daluo and this area."

Sun Liren gestured on the map, showing that he was not going to watch the play in the back.

"How many devils are there?"

Feng asked.

"According to the intelligence provided by the British, there were about a hundred enemies there, less than ten Japanese, and all the rest were Burmese Defense Forces; Of course, it is not excluded that there are new Pingyang devils who will flee to somewhere, but I believe that with the strength of the commandos, it will not be a problem at all to take there. ”

"Okay, I know, I'll go back and prepare immediately, and I'll leave at dawn tomorrow."

Feng Yi was not ready to attack overnight, now they have a firepower advantage, and it is better to attack during the day.

The wounded in the outpost battle in Xinpingyang no longer have to worry at this time, after having medical equipment and military doctors, the lights in the operating room of Xinpingyang Hospital were turned on overnight, and the wounded were transferred into the ward one by one to wait for recovery.

At dawn the next day, Feng Ye did not wait any longer, and the assault team set off from Xinpingyang, marched in section by section, and advanced towards the ferry attack. At this time, the 3rd Brigade of the 55th Wing of the 18th Division of the Japanese Army was stationed in Kolenka with its 8th Squadron, and the main force quickly moved into the upper reaches of the Dalong River.

"The reconnaissance company went out to check the situation on the other side of the Hundred Thieves River, and don't let the devils ambush us here."

The time has passed noon, Feng Yi's department has not encountered the enemy, in front of the Hundred Thieves River, the river in the dry season is not deep, they can rely on kayaks and simple river crossing tools to pass, but even so, they are afraid that the devil will come to attack halfway, then the casualties of the commando team will be very serious.

"Wang Chuan, you lead your brothers to stay on the north bank, guarding the logistics and medical team, I will take the other brothers over to have a look first, and then you can cross the river when it is safe."

Rhoda had confirmed the safety of the south bank in the walkie-talkie, at least they did not find the enemy within 500 meters of the other side of the river; Feng decided to take two battalions of brothers across the river first.

The portable kayaks provided by the Americans were very useful, and the brothers worked in groups of several to quickly let the kayaks float in the river, and there was no need for all the brothers to sit on the kayaks, a large number of brothers went down to the river, holding the kayaks, a kayak never expected to be able to carry a class of brothers at one time, and an hour later, when Feng Ye landed on the shore, Min Fei's first battalion and guard company had all built a temporary defense line in the woods on the shore.

"The devil is near, the devil is close to ......"

Urgent shouts were heard over the walkie-talkie.

"In that direction? How many people are there? How are they equipped? ”

Feng Yi asked eagerly, the situation he was worried about still happened.

"One kilometer to the south, about a squadron, at the moment I see mortars, machine guns, and the neighing of horses, but I can't see what the horses are dragging ...... them, if it is mountain artillery, it is expected that there will be about four."

In the walkie-talkie, Rhoda's voice became smaller and smaller, because the devil was getting closer and closer to the place where he was scouting, and if it weren't for the cover of the bushes and the woods, he would have been easily discovered by the devil at this time.

"Keep watching."

Feng Yi put down the walkie-talkie.

"A squadron of the Japanese army is coming to us, it's not clear what they're going to do? But they never thought we'd be here, so give them an ambush. ”

"Liang Hao, send a few brothers to the south to reconnoiter and see if any enemy ships appear; Inform Wang Ning and Zhang Chuan to stop crossing the river, and send a reconnaissance team to reconnoiter to the north and south to prepare for battle. ”

Feng Yi beckoned all the officers above the company commander and began to arrange the battle in the forest.

"Follow me!"

Five minutes later, only the guard company was left by Feng Yi's side, Min Fei led a battalion to quickly deploy, and an ambush position had been arranged around the road near the river, the devils had mountain artillery dragged by horses, they would definitely take the avenue, of course, even if it was not a mountain artillery, then it was a large amount of military supplies, there were no ships in the river, they had no choice.
