Chapter 1184: Lost!
It was almost dark, the battle in the jungle was still going on, and Feng Ye didn't even have time to ask the brothers to count how many people were still alive and how many brothers were killed; The enemy offensive has continued, and the devils and the Burmese are now in a hurry, because they do not know how long they can hide this cover-up.
"Inform the command that the Japanese troops on the front line of Yu Bang have appeared in the troops besieging us, but they have changed into the uniforms of the Burmese Defense Forces, and the number will not be less than two brigades; Another: Request for supplies, and if possible, continue to reinforce troops with empty heads. ”
After Feng Yi talked to Zhou Kui, he confirmed the situation with several officers in a row, and the enemies they eliminated were similar, and many Japanese soldiers wore the uniforms of the Burmese Defense Forces to participate in the battle, which was no longer as simple as acting as an officer of the Defense Forces; There were no other Japanese troops nearby, and when they came here so quickly, it could only be the devils of the Yubang defense line.
The call back from the command was very fast, and they had been waiting for this news, although this news has not been confirmed at present, but as soon as they attacked the devil position on the front line of Yu Bang, they would understand, after all, there was a big difference between the defense army and the Japanese army.
"If the weather permits, there will be an airdrop tomorrow morning."
The call back did not bring the reinforcements that Feng Ye urgently needed, but only said that he would continue to airdrop supplies.
"The new 38th Division will launch a tentative attack tomorrow, and it must fight out the identity of the defenders on the position, and the attack must be fierce, the air force bomber will be above you, and the officers on the front line can ask them to use various weapons to support the ...... according to their needs."
In the New Pingyang Command, Chief of Staff Paterno received instructions from Stilwell to officially begin the second phase of the plan.
The battlefield on the front line of Burma in Yu Bang is called the Eastern Front battlefield in the entire battlefield of the counteroffensive against Burma, because the British are also opening up battlefields and conducting counteroffensive operations in the Rakhine area of the Western Front; This battlefield is divided into north and south halves by the Danai River and the Dalong River, which bend at the foot of the Naga Mountains, and there are countless tributaries and small rivers that compete to meander each other. The Danai River, which originates in the east of the valley and flows westward, suddenly turns north in the primeval forest, and joins the Dalong River that originates from the Himalayas in Tibet in the north and then turns to the southwest, forming the upper reaches of the Qindun River, the dense layers of forests cover the river trunk, and there are only a few places to cross the river in the range of hundreds of kilometers, and there is a very important crossing point a few kilometers north of the confluence of the Danai River and the Dalong River.
The battle for Yubang was more about control of the area, and if you controlled it, you would control the ferry, and if you control the two rivers, the American sappers could keep the road forward.
In fact, a month ago, the 112th Regiment of the New 38th Division had launched an attack, which was a typical jungle offensive and defensive battle, the 112th Regiment had no heavy artillery, and the mortar company of the regiment was not allowed to go. The Japanese army then concentrated the main force of the 55th Wing in the center of Yubang, and surrounded the 112th Regiment, not to mention continuing the attack, even how this regiment broke through the jungle became a problem.
It is only 30 kilometers from Xinpingyang to Yubang, but it is full of thorns and locusts, and it takes several days to walk. In such a place, it is far more difficult to attack than to defend, so at this time, the Allied Command hopes to use its powerful firepower projection capabilities and means, so that it can not be limited by this law, so as to easily capture Yubang.
That's why Feng Ge's airdrop plan, Feng Ge went to the back of the devil, not to do anything else, they just wanted to attract the attention of the devil, and turned me into a devil who had to attack.
As for why the devils want to attack, because the Feng Yi department in the rear can rely on the air supply of transport planes, easily cut off the enemy's reinforcements, and even sneak attack the defending troops from the jungle behind, so that the Japanese army will really become an enemy on all sides on the front line of Yubang, and they will be completely encircled, let alone fighting, I am afraid that after surrounding them for a few months, they will starve to death.
Therefore, attacking the defense line around Yubang, after the intelligence work was sufficient, the new 38th Division did not dare to attack rashly, they knew that the heavy artillery and aircraft bombing they relied on had little effect, which required soldiers to engage in a jungle attack and defense battle with the enemy in the forest, which was a face-to-face battle.
"I agree, early tomorrow morning, I will personally lead the 114th Regiment to reinforce, first break the predicament of the 112th Regiment, and then divide the troops to attack!"
Sun Liren stood up, it has been more than a month, and the 112th Regiment has only held out until now by cutting banana vines for water and air supplies from American transport planes, and it is time for the Japanese army to pay the price.
Of course, Sun Liren hoped that the people who surrounded the 112th Regiment had become Burmese, so that they could solve the enemy at a smaller cost and attack smoothly.
In the area of Wuming Village, as the night fell, the gunfire gradually stopped, not because the soldiers on both sides were unwilling to continue fighting, but because they could no longer see each other, and now they could only stick to various key positions like the dense fog in the morning, waiting for the enemy to collide with him.
"Are the casualties counted?"
Feng Ye returned to Nameless Village, the entire defense line of the jungle battle, after the test of the dense fog during the day, there was no problem, relying on automatic fire, in the jungle, the enemy was tied hand and foot, and he now had enough confidence to continue to hold on.
"There are more than 300 wounded soldiers, and as for the number of casualties, the battalions are still being counted, and some brothers have been blown up by grenades beyond recognition, and now they can only be confirmed by roll call."
The staff officer reported on the situation.
"Report it as soon as the statistics come out."
Feng Yi shook his head, picked up the field dry food and water bottle next to him, after a day of fierce fighting, he, like his brothers, could only steal two bites in the gap of the war, and now his stomach was growling with hunger.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
After eating, Feng Yi leaned against the bunker of the wounded barracks and fell asleep in a daze, and the hazy sound of explosions in his ears did not wake him up.
"What's the situation?"
But before he awoke, the brothers in the woods heard.
"Report to the battalion commander, the fifth area, the seventh fortification was captured by the enemy, and all three brothers were killed!"
A report came from Min Fei's walkie-talkie that it was the territory of the second battalion and the third company, and one of their firepower points was touched by devils.
"I ......"
Min Fei wanted to curse and immediately order the commander of the third company to organize troops to take back the fortifications, but he quickly held back, once the second company concentrated part of its troops, it meant that more fortifications would be lost, and he did not dare to take risks.
"Stand by and don't fight back, notify all the surrounding combat teams, tell them the situation, and wait until dawn!"
Min Fei suppressed his anger and attacked the semi-underground bunker they had set up in the dark, he knew too well how many people would die, but if the brothers died in large numbers because of this, he was afraid that Feng Yi would hack him if he found out.
"Yo Xi!"
The devil officer is now squatting in this bunker, this semi-underground bunker is very small, and can only stay for about five people, but fortunately, it has three firing ports, and three machine guns can control all the battlefields within a hundred meters around, and he finally understands why the attack during the day is so difficult.
"Hold it, and let all the nearby combat teams use this as the center to search the perimeter."
The devil officer squinted, he felt that the Chinese counterattack would come soon, and there should not be many such semi-underground fortifications in this forest, otherwise there would be such fortifications everywhere, and they would not want to completely annihilate the enemy here.
