Chapter 1240: Fire Reconnaissance!
Reflecting the devil's steel helmet, their scouts hiding on the river beach to observe the situation on the other side.
"Keep watching, and let the brethren be careful, the enemy is coming."
Feng Ye nodded, and did not order the brothers to open fire, because the distance was too far.
Separated by a north-south river, it is impossible for the commando team's position to be built on the river beach, the river beach does not have the conditions for building a field position, they are still more than 200 meters away from the river, so they are more than 400 meters away from the enemy's scouts, and it is very difficult to destroy the devil's scouts at this distance, especially when the devil's scouts are still so careful.
"Bang, bang, bang......"
The Chinese soldiers, who were concentrating on digging fortifications, did not want to shoot, but the devils on the other side of the river couldn't help it and fired first, and the silence was broken by the sound of Type 38 rifle gunfire.
"Where's the gun?"
"Where's the gun?"
The officers at the front shouted, and with a wave of their hands, the brothers lay on the edge of the trenches, their guns raised, looking at the empty river and the pontoon bridge, and there was no one at all.
"Company commander, it's on the other side of the river."
An observation post shouted, pointing out the source of the gunfire.
"He's a woman, and he wants to engage in fire reconnaissance."
"Call all the snipers up, now is the time to practice marksmanship."
"All light and heavy machine guns are strictly forbidden to fire."
"The rest of you, keep digging the fortifications!"
……
The company commanders at the front shouted that the devil still hadn't grown up, and he was still hoping to find a fixed firing point on the position in this way? When are they all recruits?
"Bang, bang......"
Gunshots rang out back and forth, and bullets flew through the air.
"Hey!"
"I can't beat it!"
But soon, the snipers who were allowed to shoot on the position gave up, and they found that they were completely wasted bullets, and the devils who fired were six hundred meters away, and they had no confidence in hitting them unless they were covered with machine guns.
"Save your energy!"
The veteran seems to know this kind of outcome, and let the recruit put down his gun, not to save bullets, but to take advantage of the fact that it is better to take a good rest now, accumulate a little physical strength and wait to dig a hole in the back.
"Buzz ......"
The roar of engines was heard again in the sky, and the Allied planes once again came over the North and South Rivers.
"This is the last airdrop."
"Call me the commander in the air!"
Feng Yi looked at the time, it was almost dark, and the Japanese attack did not come, but the Allied transport planes had been airdropped back and forth eight times, except for the personnel, the rest were all kinds of materials.
"Colonel, how can I help you?"
On the walkie-talkie, the voice of an American military officer was heard.
"There is an enemy on the west bank of the North and South Rivers, and if you don't need to bring the ammunition from the plane back to the base, I hope you can try your luck over there."
Feng Yi said his thoughts, from the time they occupied the east bank of the Nanbei River, the next few waves of airdrops, there were no bombers to accompany them, and a squadron of fighters accompanied the transport planes back and forth, in order to save the time of reloading, they did not provide fire support.
According to the previous telegram, Feng Ye also knew that tomorrow was their most difficult day, they basically had no air support, the entire Warruban area and the Mengguan area were attacking, and a lot of air firepower was needed, and the most important thing was that the 5307 unit, the son of the US army, would also be airborne tomorrow.
"As you wish."
In pure American humor, the call ended.
"Tweet ......"
When the last parachute broke away from the transport plane, the fighter jet's wings cut through the air currents and skimmed over the North and South rivers.
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
The machine guns and airborne machine guns slanted their fire on the west bank of the north and south rivers, and no one knew whether they hit or not, but anyway, the river, shrubs, and river beaches were damaged, and they were choked by several rounds of strafing.
"How many supplies are there?"
Feng did not care about the performance of the fighters, but asked his logistics staff.
"The last batch of airdrops has not been cleared yet, and at present, six bases of ammunition have been reserved, and field dry food is enough for a week's consumption."
The logistics staff officer looked at his statistical table and casually answered Feng Yi's question.
"How many flares are there?"
Feng Yi was very satisfied with the ammunition reserves, six bases, enough for them to fight two big battles, no matter how fierce the devil's attack was, at least they didn't need to replenish ammunition for a week.
"Ten cardinalities."
The logistics staff looked at the red figures, and in fact the reserves of flares were completely exceeded.
"The consumption of flares will be very large, the reserve is less than three bases, report immediately."
Feng Yi admonished the staff officer.
"Notify all officers above the company commander level to report to the headquarters immediately."
Feng Yi opened his mouth and asked the communication soldier to inform him that it was getting dark, and the enemy had come, and he hoped that nothing would happen tonight.
"Now the number of recruits is more than half, tell the veterans and squad and platoon leaders that this battle makes them veterans; But it's not for them to die, it's for them to grow up here and get used to the atmosphere of the battlefield......"
"Tell the night sentries and officers on duty that they can fire flares whenever there is any abnormality on the river, and I don't want to be touched by devils from the river at night to give us a white-knuckle fight."
……
"We blocked the back road of the devils, this time we are different from Yu Bang, we are absolutely alone, and we have the north and south rivers and natural dangers, and the devil's artillery does not dare to shell unscrupulously, as long as we stick to the past tomorrow, it will be very easy......"
The military meeting before nightfall, Feng Ye did not make arrangements for specific tactics, defensive battles, and terrain advantages, is the best stage for the growth of recruits, what he needs to do is to let these officers cheer up the recruits, let the recruits grow as soon as possible, this kind of opportunity will not be many.
On the day of March 1, the Nanbei River did not wait for the Japanese attack, and the commandos completed their operational objectives; Similarly, with the help of tanks, the new 38th Division successively broke through six checkpoints in Qingnanka and Magao in one daytime, and if it wasn't for nightfall, they would even want to enter it like this.
"Yaga!"
The Allied attack after changing tactics was very smooth, but Shinichi Tanaka of Meng Guan was very angry, and he found it very difficult to accept the fact that he was now unable to deal with the Allied attack from three sides.
"When will the 114 Wing be able to attack? When will the North and South River defense lines be taken back? ”
In the dim light, Tanaka's eyes were red, and he stared at the battle map on the wall and shouted.
"According to the telegram an hour ago, the 1st Brigade of the 114th Wing has arrived on the west bank of the North and South River, but it has not launched an attack, and Maruyama Osa said that artillery cooperation is needed."
The Chief of Staff reported on the situation.
"Didn't he know that time was very tight? And so on for the heavy artillery brigade? Then he will not want to attack tomorrow, so that he must recapture the defense line of the North and South River tomorrow night. ”
Shinichi Tanaka slapped the table and shouted.
"Your Excellency, General, according to the report of the 114th Wing; The Allied forces on the east bank were very large, relying on the North and South rivers, along which they built a defense line of several kilometers, there was no place suitable for light infantry attacks at all, and without artillery cover, he could not cross the river. ”
The chief of staff handed several telegrams to Shinichi Tanaka.
