Chapter 1171: The Safest Way!
The next day, after dawn, the Allied fighters patrolled the battlefield on time, looking for targets to bomb, but unfortunately they found nothing, and the devil artillery who had been crazy all night hid, and the snipers had no way to intervene in the battle, so they could only use their on-board machine guns to pour a wave of fire into the field before the aviation fuel ran out, declaring the right of the sky.
"Regiment commander, call from the headquarters."
In the battalion headquarters where the leak was picked up in the forward position, a brother took a walkie-talkie and handed it to Feng Yi.
"Speak!"
Feng Yi took the receiver and microphone, and the radio was left in the headquarters in the village, and now all telegrams had to be relayed by the communication corps through walkie-talkies.
"The magnet plan will enter the second phase tomorrow, whether it can be carried out as scheduled."
The telegram was very simple, tomorrow would be the third day, but the effect of the first stage was not good, and the Japanese army did not draw a large number of troops from the Yubang front line to encircle and suppress, which made the command very worried.
"Call back: The commando team will try to let the Japanese army draw troops, as for the effect, the battlefield situation is changeable, I can't be sure now, it is estimated that it will take more time to wear down the enemy's troops, medicines, ammunition and reinforcements, and I need to command not to continue to drop ...... from the air"
Feng Yi thought for a while, the Japanese army can draw a lot of troops nearby, Wang Ning's second battalion paid a big price last night, but most of the enemies killed on the battlefield were Burmese, and the corpses of the Japanese army were very few, and even two percent were insufficient; How will Phase 2 be implemented? When it will start, he can't predict at all, this will require the cooperation of the Japanese army.
On the other side of the radio, Stilwell was holding a telegram, and there was nothing wrong with the telegram that Feng Ye replied, and the two armies were fighting on the battlefield, and in addition to strength, often the enemy's cooperation was also very important.
"The Allied command will send transport planes to continuously drop materials on your department, and all the supplies you need will be delivered to you on time and in quantity; The second phase of the magnet plan has been postponed, and you must be prepared to continue to hold on according to the situation on the battlefield......"
Feng Yi listened to the reply from the Allied Command, there was no reinforcement he was most concerned about, so he had to feel that there were other problems with his relatives; In such an operation, which is prone to heavy casualties, the Americans are still trying to avoid using their own troops.
"Roger."
"Inform Colonel Kinnison and let him take charge of counting all kinds of supplies, and if there is a shortage, let the Americans immediately airdrop them before dark, and continue to store medicines, and in addition, let them airdrop mortars, anti-aircraft guns, and ammunition supplies, and the ammunition should be airdropped according to the amount of two bases per day......"
Feng Yi rubbed his forehead, his plan was about to be adjusted.
"Send orders to Zhang Chuan and Min Fei to receive mortars immediately, and use mortars when encountering a large-scale infantry attack by the Japanese army."
Since the Japanese like to use the Burmese as cannon fodder to consume their troops, then he will take out all the means to see how many Burmese people will fill this bottomless pit.
"Yes!"
Wang Ning was sleeping at this time, Feng Ye did not call him up to get the equipment, but directly asked Liang Hao to send someone to get it, now the defensive pressure on the battlefield is not great, and the sniper battle tests the psychological endurance of the snipers on both sides, not the endurance of ordinary soldiers.
It was getting dark, and Feng Ye didn't know that on the position on the northwest front, his snipers had not fired a single shot so far, and in the trenches, even the brothers who were observing no longer came forward, and the vigilance was handed over to the brothers in the command and machine gun bunkers, who were using binoculars to observe the situation in front of the position.
Now Feng Ye is sitting in the humble battalion headquarters, holding the latest casualties in his hands, the entire commando, so far, less than 200 brothers have died here, the wounded soldiers have occupied the temporary beds in the nameless village, and the lightly wounded now have to move to semi-underground bunkers to recuperate and stand by.
As for why standby? Because when the war is urgent, they need to re-start the gun and enter the trenches.
"A war of attrition?"
Feng Yi frowned, thinking about this problem, now this way of fighting has become the safest way; Both sides endure a war of attrition until one side reveals a flaw, and the other side will risk all their hole cards to end the battle.
"Look at what you spend!"
A smile appeared on the corner of Feng Yi's mouth, he was very confident, according to the current battle loss ratio, the commando team would lose one soldier, and the enemy would have to pay ten lives, no matter whether it was the Japanese or the Burmese who died, in the end, I am afraid that it was not the Allies but the Japanese army who could not afford to lose.
In the eyes of the Japanese army, they are alone, but in the eyes of Feng Ye and all the allies, they are not alone, not to mention other troops, at least there are a few thousand people in Unit 5307 who can be airdropped, and the Japanese army wants to encircle and annihilate this army, and the price they paid may not even be expected by themselves.
Of course, the Japanese army may also have another option, that is, to draw other troops from the rest of the direction to attack, but that will take time; Moreover, on the Burma battlefield, the British in the west were also planning a new offensive on the Rakhine line, and on the Nu River line, the troops of the Chinese Expeditionary Force in Yunnan were not idle, and the Japanese army was attacked on three sides, and the lack of troops was their biggest problem.
Of course, the Japanese army can also ignore the troops here, just need to send surveillance troops, put them here, and hold the front line of Yubang, but since the Allied command has used such a large resource to support the commando's actions here, it is definitely not here to harass, they must have other plans, so now the Japanese army is also a little difficult to ride a tiger, fortunately, they still have the Burmese Defense Army, and there are cannon fodder troops that are not painful to fill in.
The Burmese Front also thinks the same, using the Burmese to consume the commandos here, and finally using the elite field troops to eat the Allied airborne troops in one fell swoop, in fact, if the war situation continues like this, the situation of the Japanese army will not necessarily deteriorate, maybe they can really use the 18th Division to support the battle situation on this line, waiting for their new plan to be implemented.
But at this time, in Yangon, a new situation arose, not from the Allies, but from within them, and there was a problem on the part of the Burmese.
Burma had been seeking independence since before World War II, and when they realized that they could not drive out the British on their own, Dechen Aung San, the general secretary of the Dechin Party, chose to defect to the Japanese.
Now that the state of Myanmar has been established, Dechen Aung San has become the defense minister of the state of Myanmar and the supreme leader of the Myanmar Defence Forces.
Of course, he, the supreme leader, has come to this point with the support of various Burmese ethnic chiefs, and without the support of the Burmese people, the Burmese Defense Forces would not have so many troops, let alone have to support the Japanese army in a frugal manner.
