Stilwell's order was quickly carried out, and Paterno was in fact very satisfied with it; This is the Americans, who are always in the habit of putting their troops in danger.

Now the risk of parachuting on the west bank of the North and South rivers is very high, and they may be surrounded when they land, and they will face endless attacks.

Of course, the attack would come from the 18th Division, and the 18th Division, which had been cut off from the back route, would immediately send a large number of troops to open the passage, and if they landed on the west bank, it would become a gun block for the Chinese, so Stilwell ordered to change the location and stay away from the North and South River.

From receiving the order to handing over the position and assembling the troops, Maruyama Fangan was already trying his best to grab time, but he didn't expect the ferry position to be lost so quickly.

"The 1st Brigade, immediately attack and advance to the North and South Rivers and clear the enemy on the west bank of the North and South Rivers."

"The wing headquarters and the rest of the troops slowly followed, waiting for the 21 brigade of heavy artillery and the 13 brigade of rapid-fire guns."

"Order the 3rd Brigade to assist the baggage troops ......"

……

Under a series of orders, only a full brigade boarded the truck and galloped towards the North and South Rivers, while the rest of the troops continued to organize their equipment at the assembly area.

"Your Excellency Dazuo, the general's order is urgent, why did we stop?"

The chief of staff reminded Maruyama Fangan.

"The 1st Brigade has attacked and advanced, and the 114th Wing has carried out the orders of His Excellency the General."

Maruyama Boyan glanced at the chief of staff and seemed a little unhappy.

"Chief of Staff, as the commander of the wing, we should think about how to complete this mission, and we should not worry about these small problems."

Maruyama Fangan looked at the chief of staff with a confused face and continued to remind.

"Your Excellency, please."

The chief of staff bowed slightly, he really didn't understand what the wing commander meant; In the Japanese army, this kind of behavior is looked down upon by everyone, including their own subordinates.

"There is a squadron of left-behind troops at the crossing of the North and South River, but it didn't even block a round of attacks, what does that mean?"

Maruyama Boan reminded his chief of staff.

"The enemy is strong, they have a lot of firepower, or do you have plenty of troops?"

The chief of staff replied.

"Maybe they have both."

Maruyama pointed to the sky, since they had lost their air superiority, the Japanese Army's proud firepower superiority in the face of the Chinese army was long gone.

"Their assault team is on the east bank, and we need to attack across the North and South rivers; Without the cover of heavy firepower, do you let the soldiers swim over? ”

"And attacking the beachhead, without the cover of artillery fire, our wing may not even be able to climb their positions; We must wait for the heavy artillery to attack the east bank in one fell swoop with great firepower and engage in a hand-to-hand battle with the damned enemy. ”

Maruyama Fangan cursed.

"Your Excellency is wise!"

The chief of staff suddenly realized.

The 114th Wing was a supplementary wing of the 18th Division, and the original wing was transferred to the Pacific Ocean to defend Kuah Island; This wing comes from a supplementary army, not only is it not fully staffed, but even the firepower equipment is much less than that of other field wings, perhaps this is the reason why Maruyama Fangan likes to think.

"Commander, when do you think the Japanese will come?"

It was already dark, and the attack force of the 114th Wing was still some distance from the North and South River, and the first brigade had long since abandoned its car and started searching, and they were getting closer and closer to the west bank.

"I don't know, but I wish they were there; The longer we delay, the worse it will be for us. ”

Feng Ye squinted and sat on the ammunition box, in front of him was a combat map, Unit 5307 changed its airborne position, he already knew.

"Commander, I think it's better for them to come slowly! In this way, all the positions behind us can be dug up, and our bunkers will be more complete. ”

Min Fei scratched his head, indicating that he didn't quite understand.

"But the more prepared the Japanese will be."

Feng Yi raised his head and sighed, around the Nanbei River, now only his brothers are blocked, the damn 5307 troops are airborne to participate in the attack, they are not far from the new 38th Division, so the only possibility is to drive the 18th Division to the first line of the Nanbei River.

"The sooner they come, the more likely it is that there is light infantry, at least without artillery; We relied on the natural defensive line of the North and South Rivers, and they would suffer heavy casualties before they could react; The longer they drag, the more pressure we will be; If they don't show up tomorrow, we will definitely face the heavy artillery bombardment of the Japanese army, and the Japanese attack at the wing level. ”

"It's too long."

Feng Yi shook his head, don't look at them There are more than 3,000 people, but they are defending on a defense line of several kilometers, and their defensive strength is very weak.

"Send a message to Stilwell, we need a lot of heavy machine guns and mortars to keep the transport planes airdropped."

"Starting tomorrow, on the forward positions, only heavy machine guns will be left in the first-line positions, and the rest of the personnel will all hide in the artillery holes of the second-line positions."

"Remember one thing, the firepower is heavy in the front and light in the back, and the personnel are less in front and more in the back; The first line was to let the Japanese river-crossing troops shed enough corpses. ”

Feng Yi still put the pencil on the map, and finally decided.

"Regiment commander, there are too few troops at the front, and the devils will soon ascend to the beachhead......"

Wang Ning was a little worried.

"Let them come, and if they don't come, how can the recruits see blood? Only by hand-to-hand combat can recruits grow as soon as possible. ”

Feng Yi gritted his teeth, only the battlefield is the best training ground; His plan was simple, the first wave of devils who could gain a foothold on the East Coast would require not only high fighting qualities, but also very good luck; And these people naturally can't be many, and these people will also be the best whetstone for recruits.

The next day, more and more heavy machine guns, mortars, and ammunition were dropped, and the ammunition on the position was piling up, and Feng Ye now had no need to worry about his ammunition consumption at all.

But until the sun hung high in the sky, it was still quiet near the Nanbei River, as if this was not a battlefield, but just a training ground for them.

"Squad leader, look!"

A sentry pointed to the west bank and handed the telescope to the squad leader.

"What's wrong?"

The squad leader took the binoculars and asked.

"Someone's coming!"

The sentry wasn't sure, he had just seen the reflection of the steel helmet, and he wasn't sure if the devil was coming.

"Damn, it's really the devil here, this is their vanguard."

The squad leader turned out to be telescopes, and after searching around, he was very sure that it was the vanguard of the devil who had arrived, and he saw the reflection from a large number of bushes and wild grass, and more than half of the places, there was no such reflection at all yesterday, which only showed that the enemy was coming.

"Keep watching, I'll report to the company commander."

The squad leader handed the binoculars to the sentry, motioned for the brothers to pay attention to themselves, and ran to the company headquarters alone.
