Chapter 1139: Duty and Heart!
The Japanese and Burmese who laid siege to the heights suffered equally heavy casualties, and after the reinforcements had captured the heights, they had to retreat, including the few men left in the woods.
They did not run indiscriminately, after a few circles in the field, they retreated directly to the artillery position, without new reinforcements, it was impossible to continue the attack, so it was better to return to the artillery position and wait for the next order.
Amid the rumbling of artillery, the brethren of the commando team kept advancing, except for the occasional pause of the brethren of Roda and the reconnaissance company to look at the surrounding terrain.
As the saying goes, the mountain runs a dead horse, and the same is true for the artillery positions in the dark night, which look very close, but in fact the artillery positions of the devils are several kilometers away from them.
"The cannon has stopped!"
There was a sudden silence around them, and the brothers stopped, and although they knew the general direction, it was difficult to find that position now, and they had lost their guidance.
"Don't look for it, follow the original plan, scatter."
Feng Ye didn't get entangled, the most important thing for them now was to find the best airdrop location.
"Boom la la ......"
A small group of brothers with guns in their hands kept walking through fields and bushes; Suddenly, the sound of running water came to their ears.
"It's the sound of running water, go check it out!"
The brothers glanced at each other, and there were so many rivers in Burma that they didn't even bother to remember what their names were, if not necessary.
They didn't need to look for it, and following the voice, they soon saw a slender white line in the night, and the brothers moved their feet to the edge of the flowing water.
From a distance, it looks like a slender white stream, but in fact this is not a stream, but a real river, trampling on the bare riverbed by the river, the brothers look around, it seems that this place is more suitable for airdrops.
"You're in charge of this side, and we'll go to the other side."
There were two groups that arrived at the river, the first one had already tested the river, it was not deep, and it was impossible to walk on foot, and the deepest place would not overflow the river to the waist, not to mention, they found the shallow water.
"Look around!"
Similarly, the rest of the team found a few places, and they were even planning how to get rid of the bushes and sparse trees that were in the way.
"The time is almost up, I'll go to the meeting point to report, you stay here and continue to scout around, remember not to be exposed!"
......
As time passed slowly, the time for the convergence set by Feng Ye finally arrived, talking about before dawn, it was impossible to really converge before dawn, they had too many things to deal with.
"There is a clearing in the forest here, which can be used as an airdrop area, which has the advantage of being easy to transfer and build a defensive line; The disadvantage is that it is a test for the parachuting brothers, who are easily blown away by the wind and hung on trees......"
"There is a river here, there are nearly two meters wide beach on both sides, it is very smooth, and the river is not deep, we have explored a few sections, the deepest river is only waist, but it is easy to be attacked from several sides here, and I am afraid it will be difficult to run ...... then."
......
The squad and platoon leaders were making reports one by one, they found a lot of places, seven or eight places for Feng Ye to choose, and at the same time, they were also doing analysis, analyzing the pros and cons, which was something that Feng Ye asked them to think about.
"The riverside is the No. 1 area, and the woods are used as a backup location, so that the brethren can move closer to the river and expand the search area, and if no enemy is found within a kilometer radius, then this is it."
Feng Yi quickly determined, he thought differently, this time to accept medical rescue, the person who can play the scalpel well is definitely not so young, one out of ten doctors can parachute is already good, and this cherished one, or they still lack the courage, dare not jump at all, I am afraid that there are very few people who can jump off the plane, he wants to ensure the safety of the doctor, he can only choose the river, because it is convenient for rescue, and it is also convenient for them to search for supplies.
"Go back and inform the brothers on the high ground, immediately move to an alternate place, after the transfer is completed, Zhou Kui will stay in charge of security, and Liang Hao will immediately move closer to the river with the guard company......
Feng Yi looked at the two places, not far apart, even if it was to change the airdrop location, it was relatively convenient, now it was only three hours before dawn, the news was sent back, the plane would definitely arrive here at dawn, after all, that time was the most negligent time for the Japanese army, and if they could complete the airdrop earlier, they could make the next move earlier.
Feng Yi looked at the two places, separated
"Sir, Feng Yi's headquarters has already set the airdrop location, and here, they will use red smoke grenades as ground guidance......
Xin Pingyang, inside the front-line headquarters, Paterno looked at the map and kept nodding, in fact, he was the most urgent now, Feng Yi's task was not simply to rescue the American troops on the high ground, there were still two places waiting for him.
"Notify Hinbetin Airport and let them take off on time."
"I hope the general has solved the doctor's problem."
After Paterno's order, he muttered to himself that, in fact, in the entire Allied sequence of Southeast Asia, there were no doctors who could parachute at all, and they were now asking volunteers in the hope that some would jump as a hobby in their youth.
"General, the commandos are ready for the airdrop."
Hinbertin, Stilwell didn't rest either, he had been smoking, he had been waiting for news.
"What do the British say? How many doctors can skydive? ”
Stilwell asked, protruding a puff of smoke and frowning; The materials have been prepared for a long time, all of them are prepared according to Feng Yi's needs, compared to the materials, the doctor is his biggest headache, in the entire US military sequence, there is no branch of the army that will require the doctor to parachute, but now it has become a difficulty for them.
"General Slim just called back, and they're sorry, there are no doctors who can skydive."
The adjutant said as he took out the telegram as a corroboration.
"Damn, not a single one? They are shirking their responsibilities! ”
Stilwell wanted to curse, Hinbetin and Xinpingyang's field hospital, they had made an urgent solicitation, but there were no volunteers to sign up yet, and the departure time of the plane was less than two hours, so what should he do? Is it to push the precious doctor down from the air?
"Damn, Xinpingyang and the field hospital here, whether it is a doctor or a nurse, as long as he dares to parachute, I will apply for a medal for him and expand the scope of recruitment, go quickly!"
Stilwell shouted, moving the staff officers in the headquarters.
"Annie, are you really going? It's a parachute jump, jumping from a few hundred meters in the air, it's dangerous, you're going to die. ”
At the New Pingyang Field Hospital, when nurses were also targeted, Anne took off her gloves and prepared to sign up.
"I'm not for the medal, or for the honour of England; On the contrary, I am saving the wretched country of England, everyone is afraid of death, and they don't want to jump, but they don't think that those soldiers behind enemy lines, they are bleeding now, and they want to wear far away from us, and we can save them but choose to give up, that is not the idea that a qualified medical worker should have, I am a nurse, if I choose to escape, then I am afraid that I will not dare to pick up a scalpel in the future! ”
Anne said as she opened the door, she was ready to sign up.
"Annie, you're not the only one here who can skydive, the guys upstairs, they're also members of the flying club, they can skydive too, if you want to go, you should go! Don't forget, in the UK, you only skip once! Damn it! ”
The young nurse chased after Anne from the room and stopped Anne yelling.
"It's my duty to save lives! Otherwise, I'm upset! ”
Annie pushed her kind friend away, leaving only a shadow behind her, and disappeared into the hallway outside the operating room.
