Chapter 1228: Dangerous Mission!
Feng Ye squinted, he had decided to accept this task, no matter whether the jump was life or death this time, the 18th Division was the enemy of every Chinese soldier, because they had made a tragedy that made the Chinese people suffer for thousands of years.
The 18th Division, one of the pioneers of the invasion of China, was one of the main culprits of the Nanjing Massacre, as one of the soldiers who broke out of Nanjing, Feng Yi was chased by them in the battles around Nanjing, and many brothers paid with their lives.
The reason why Feng Ye made up his mind to participate in the battle of Mengguan was not to avenge his brothers, as a soldier, it was fate to die on the battlefield, especially in the battle to resist foreign aggression, that was the supreme glory; Desperate to kill the 18th Division, Feng Yi wanted to avenge the hundreds of thousands of civilians and prisoners of war who were slaughtered in Nanjing, in order to rest their heroic spirits that were not far away, and even more guilty in his heart, because he himself escaped from Nanjing and did not fight until the last moment.
"This place is called Panmai, it is a town between the Warruban area and Mengguan, he is surrounded by continuous jungles on both sides, the jungles on both sides have a characteristic, it is a typical pyramidal jungle, only need to occupy the commanding heights, control the key intersections, the Japanese troops in Mengguan can't run from the jungle, of course, they may be able to slip away from the side of the trail, but there is definitely no way to leave as a system."
Looking at Feng Ye's expression, Paterno quickly said what this point under the baton represented.
"I agree to airborne, but this requires detailed planning and the cooperation of the new First Army, otherwise, we will be surrounded here, and the Japanese army will pounce on it like mad dogs, my troops have just received heavy losses, and their combat effectiveness has not fully recovered, so I am afraid that they will not be able to hold it for a few days."
Feng Yi looked at the map, such an important location, the Japanese army must have troops left, and there will be no less, it is difficult to capture this place, let alone defend until the new army is encircled.
"Of course, we are now a unit, and the Chinese and American mixed commandos will participate in this operation, and our air force will also fully cooperate, and you will not lack support."
Stilwell stood up, smiled and promised, he didn't expect his worst worries to be solved so easily, Feng Ye actually didn't ask for other benefits, so he participated in this operation.
"It will take at least half a month or so for the new 38th Division to move in place, and during this time, you can concentrate on training your troops."
"General Merrell, the combat units of Unit 5307 are immediately assembled and ready to participate in the operation, I hope that half a month will make you ready."
Stilwell was very happy, he didn't expect tonight's meeting to go so smoothly, as for the rest of the other US officers, there is no need to ask for their opinions, the participating troops are determined, then the rest of the work is the matter of the staff and intelligence personnel, they have to formulate a detailed battle plan, and they also need more intelligence support.
The Allied headquarters in New Pingyang was brightly lit, and under Stilwell's orders, a large number of staff officers and intelligence officers were assigned to Paterno's name to begin preparations for the operation.
"The new 38th Division is a long-distance detour, once they appear in the Qingnanka area, they have to face the Japanese stronghold, they are exposed in this position, which will give the Japanese 18th Division headquarters a lot of time, and it is likely that it will not be blocked."
"So the Airborne Forces must launch a surprise attack and occupy Panmai before the new 38th Division is exposed; Or they can launch an attack with the new 38th Division, and by the time Tanaka Shinichi reacts, Panmai is already in our hands, so as to ensure that the encirclement of the 18th Division is completed, and even the Japanese troops in the Waruban area will be consumed in this battle, and the Mong Gong River Valley in front will be useless, we only need to occupy here, and the entire northern Burma region will be completely recovered......"
"But this needs intelligence support, in this area, there is no place suitable for large-scale airborne, and the most important thing is to avoid the eyes of the Japanese army, our airborne troops have been exposed, and the commanders of the Japanese army have understood their capabilities, which is very difficult to ......"
Inside the command, all the officers and staff began to put forward their ideas in preparation for the operation.
"After the morning exercise, notify all officers above the company level to hold a meeting."
Feng Ye is an officer who implements tactics, he only needs to complete his mission on the battlefield, he can't say too much about the development and setting of the battle, besides, all suggestions without intelligence support are whimsical, he doesn't want to put the troops in a desperate situation because of his luck, revenge is not death!
"There will be a mission in the near future, it is very dangerous, the 5307 unit of the US army will carry out with us, we may land and be surrounded, and we will face endless attacks from the Japanese 18th Division."
In the conference room, Feng Yi looked at all the officers, and his voice was a little heavy.
"Commander, isn't this what Yu Bang is all about? We're all here, and there's nothing more dangerous than that. ”
Zhou Kui grinned, in his impression, the battle of Nameless Village was already very dangerous, and he thought that there would be no more dangerous task than that.
"Unlike the last time, in the last battle, at least we could breathe during the day, but this time, I'm afraid we will face the attacks of the devils every minute, and we won't even have time to drink water; The Americans have just received information that the division commanders, including Tanaka Shinichi, are now at Mengguan, and the target of this operation is the headquarters of the 18th Division of the Japanese Army and the entire 18th Division, and our task is to block their retreat. ”
Feng Yi looked at his brother who was living and dying together, and said slowly.
"Si!"
A gasping sound sounded, the 18th Division of the Japanese Army is the location of the regiment headquarters, and it is also the front line, as the standing division of the Japanese army, they have more than 30,000 soldiers and a large number of light and heavy weapons, even if you count the 5307 troops of the US Army, they can airdrop up to 4,000 troops at a time, which is already the limit of the transport aircraft that the Allies can use here.
Not to mention this kind of core area, which must be the object of the enemy's tight defense, perhaps the first problem they face is how to land safely, or most of them will be beaten into a sieve by machine guns in the air.
"This division is the culprit of the Nanjing Massacre, and they owe too much blood debt to us Chinese! In Nanjing, more than 300,000 people fell under this gang of miscellaneous butcher knives, and I never wanted to kill them to avenge my father and fellow villagers. ”
Feng Yi ignored the surprise of the officers and said slowly.
"Commander, I'm breaking out of Nanjing with you, I'll go!"
Min Fei shouted, the green tendons on his forehead jumped up, and in the night of the breakthrough, the firelight and screams in Nanjing seemed to be remembered in his ears.
"This mission does not require all of you to participate, but after you go down, you will solicit the opinions of the brothers, voluntarily sign up, and dismiss the meeting."
After Feng Yi finished speaking, he waved his hand, this kind of task that seemed to be sent to death, he didn't want to force it; The key thing is that now the personnel are full, but the combat effectiveness has not been fully recovered, he can only bring the remaining veterans from the last time to participate in the battle, for this, I am afraid that even Stilwell has no way to blame him.
"Commander......"
All the officers stood up, and they wanted to say something, but they were quickly blocked back by Feng Jie.
"Don't say it, give me the registration form in three days; Tell the brethren that if they do not participate in this operation, I will not hold them accountable, and I will not blame them, they are still a qualified soldier; I just don't want the miscellaneous members of the 18th Division to continue to live. ”
Feng Yi waved his hand and motioned for them all to go out, he now wanted to visit General Stilwell to see if there was a preliminary battle plan, to see if he could help a little, even if it was a suggestion, maybe it would improve the chances of survival of the brothers a lot.
