As the sky grew darker, the offensive of the new 1st Army had picked up again, and the frontal attacking troops had broken through two positions, and they were now faced with a choice, whether to continue to break through the front or spread out to both flanks.

"Division commander, continue to attack the frontal position, our pressure will increase, it is better to deploy from the flank, so that our attack will be much easier."

The chief of staff expressed his opinion, and he meant to spread out from both flanks, and not blindly break through from the front.

"I know what you mean, but what about there?"

Sun Liren pointed in the direction of Xinpingyang, the orders and telegrams of the Allied command were there every hour, how should he reply?

"The battlefield is changing rapidly, and as long as we keep attacking, they can't say anything."

The chief of staff smiled, it was not a difficult problem.

"But Feng Yi and the U.S. commandos can't hold it anymore; Don't forget, our offensive is so smooth now, it is they who have attracted the main force of the Japanese army here, we are only facing troops dominated by the Burmese puppet army, if they are finished, do you think we will still be so smooth? ”

Sun Liren shook his head, of course he knew what the staff officers meant, but he couldn't do this, although Feng Yi's troops were directly under the command of the Americans, they were still Chinese soldiers.

"But ......"

One of the staff officers tried to name other reasons, such as tactically explaining the drawbacks of continuing to break through the Japanese lines from the front.

"Nothing, if we break through the position head-on, our resistance will increase, casualties will increase, and even our flanks and rear roads will face the danger of being surrounded by Japanese troops; I know all of that. ”

Sun Liren raised his hand and motioned to the staff officer to stop talking.

"I command!"

Sun Liren picked up the wooden stick and pointed to the map, as the military commander, he was determined.

"Liu Fangwu, Li Hong, you two regiments, take turns attacking from the front, don't stop, and break through the defense line as quickly as possible."

"Han Shaogong, your 112th regiment continues to be on standby, I only have one request, after the defense line is broken, you are the head of the rescue regiment, attack and advance, come here, and fish out our brothers, understand?"

Sun Liren pointed to the vicinity of Nameless Village, he read the battle reports of the past few days, the Japanese army used all the means at their disposal to attack, and the commando team that went deep behind the enemy line alone must have suffered heavy casualties.

"Division commander, what about the flanks?"

The three regiment commanders looked at Sun Liren, which was what they were most worried about.

"The reconnaissance company, guard company, baggage company, and engineer company of the division headquarters are your flanks and rear, and I will personally accompany the mountain artillery battalion to attack."

Sun Liren still put the wooden stick on the map and clapped his hands, he was determined.

"Prepare well for this night! Before dawn, the division headquarters will move forward......"

After Sun Liren arranged some more things, a bonfire gradually lit up in the forest, bringing warmth and dispelling the darkness.

The bonfires on the front line of Yubang burned, around the nameless village, large and small bonfires were also lit up, after a day of testing, the Japanese artillery did not appear, Feng Yi used the bonfire at night to test the endurance of the Japanese artillery, even the village in their core area is now full of bonfires, just waiting for the Japanese artillery to bombard.

"Staring at the nod."

The officer groped slowly, patrolling his line.

Not all the soldiers were shrouded in bonfires, and the soldiers on the positions hid in craters, bathed in the dim light of the fire, and from the various paths inside, the situation was varied.

"Whether it's dead or alive depends on tonight."

Inside the tunnel, Feng Yi muttered, there was a squatting Kinnison next to him, being by Feng Ng, it was dangerous everywhere, and Kinnison also chose to be with the Chinese soldiers.

"Feng, is there really no artillery shells for the Japanese army? Isn't that too risky? ”

"Feng, there are only two hundred people left over there, and the rest are all wounded soldiers, do you want to send a little more troops back?"

"Feng ......"

Kinnison was worried and kept talking.

"Colonel, we don't have even two thousand troops to fight, and this is already the best choice; If you don't want to be wiped out. ”

"We can't expect others to save us, we have to rely on ourselves, and we can keep on our own."

"Don't worry about the wounded barracks, I've calculated that there are at least five hundred lightly wounded people over there who can still go to war, and that's enough for them to hold there; If the Japanese are really ready to attack from that side, we can still copy their rear roads, and in the chaos of the night, we need enough mobile troops. ”

Feng Yi's words seemed to be answering, as if he was convincing himself.

"Feng, they are wounded soldiers and should be protected, how can you let the wounded soldiers go to the battlefield again? You're a crime! ”

Kinnison was stunned, he finally understood the reason why there were only two hundred soldiers there, and Feng Ye was fighting the idea of wounded soldiers.

"You know what? According to the practice of the Chinese battlefield, at least 1,500 of the more than 2,000 wounded soldiers lying there can go to the battlefield, and the Chinese soldiers will not fall without shedding the last drop of blood; This is the battle for survival for the Chinese, and we have no choice but to fight to the death. ”

Feng Yi's voice was very low, in fact, it was also the case, in the Chinese battlefield, no matter which battlefield, there were too many wounded soldiers who continued to fight, until they died in battle, it was the standard for them to withdraw from the battlefield.

"Crazy people, all crazy people......"

Kinnison kept shaking his head, he didn't worry about the wounded American soldiers, unless they were willing, no one could make them pick up guns and fight again while they were recuperating, even if it was as prisoners.

"Your Excellency, are you still attacking tonight?"

Outside the nameless village, inside the Japanese headquarters, several division commanders of the defense army and Japanese officers were staring at Fujii Daisa, there was no artillery fire cover tonight, and after fighting for so long, they now admire the defenders inside very much, they are too tenacious, like rats that can't be killed.

"Bypass the position, attack from the jungle, attack the village directly, and force them to engage us head-on."

Fujii Osa slapped the map and told him to wait for the cannonballs here, then he might as well return to Yubang.

"They don't have many people left, and we're going to succeed."

Fujii Daisa squinted his eyes, in the past few days, the casualties of the defense army and the Japanese army have exceeded 5,000, and according to the calculation of two to one, there are not many soldiers who can fight inside.

"Hello!"

The Japanese officers stood up and shouted orders, as for the division commanders of the Burmese Defense Forces, no one cared what they thought, the Defense Forces were originally here to be cannon fodder, and there were Japanese officers who urged them to advance, even if they died, they died in the attack.

"Boom......"

With the order given, the devils and Burmese, who had been driven by the assault team to a place three hundred meters outside the defense line during the day, set off again, and one by one they shuttled through the darkness and moved in the direction of the nameless village according to the original route.
