When the guns rang out on the first line of the Nanbei River, the gunfire of Meng Guan gradually stopped, for the scattered devil soldiers, the new 22nd Division and the new 38th Division had no way to search one place at a time, the officers were very busy, busy counting the captures, busy letting the soldiers repair, and as soon as it dawned tomorrow, they would have to continue to attack Waruban.

"The task of our regiment is to start the search from the Tanai River, along this line, to clear all the Japanese fortifications in this area, to outflank the rear ...... of the Warrouban"

Liu Fangwu had already received orders, and his 113th Regiment was the only formed unit in the Warruban area, and the task of outflanking the flank certainly fell to him.

Waruban is west of Mengguan, the only large-scale supply base of the Japanese army in the Hukang River Valley, about 12 kilometers away from Mengguan, Tanaka Shinichi retreated here, hoping to withdraw across the Nanbei River with the supplies here, so that he has a chance to regain his combat effectiveness in Menggong.

"As long as Feng Yi's assault team can hold out here for a few days, the enemy of Varuban will inevitably collapse on all fronts because of the enemy on his belly. Even if the Japanese infantry could retreat without resorting to roads, the heavy weapons and baggage had to be transported by trucks, and I am afraid that they would have to be discarded completely, and the Japanese 18th Division would be severely damaged......"

In the new Pingyang Headquarters, the senior officers looked at the current battlefield situation and smiled one by one; In the Battle of Mengguan, the 18th Division of the Japanese Army suffered more than 2,000 casualties, demoralization was low, and its combat effectiveness was greatly reduced. The two main divisions of the New First Army did not suffer major damage in combat effectiveness with air support, and with the 5307th Detachment of the US Army and Feng Yi's commando, they completely gained the upper hand in terms of troops.

"But the premise of all this is that Colonel Feng can hold the North and South Rivers!"

Stilwell was not as optimistic as they thought, because of the stupidity of Unit 5307, the Battle of Mengguan was a bit anticlimactic, the 18th Division did not suffer heavy losses, and Feng Ye now had to face at least two wings of front and rear attacks.

"Colonel Feng's troops still have more than 2,600 troops, plus the natural dangers of the north and south rivers, theoretically relying on field fortifications to block for a few days is not a big problem!"

Paterno calculated the attrition, he was planning to let Feng Yi defend the North and South Rivers and fight until one soldier was killed, in his concept, the Chinese soldiers had this quality.

"Unit 5307 needs to be repaired, and at the moment they can't help much, and our lads are a little stupid by the Japanese."

Don't look at Brigadier General Haig as the commander of Unit 5307, but at this time he doesn't protect the calf at all, he just wants to withdraw Unit 5307.

"They are indeed a little stupid, now that the entire Mengguan and Waruban areas are battlefields, and there are no supply points for us nearby, and there is no way to provide hot baths and coffee, where can they go to repair? Do you want to let them go through the jungle and back to the rear? What will this make our Chinese allies think? What's more important is to let the Chinese commandos who are fighting know that how can we ask them to defend to the death? ”

Stilwell frowned and shook his head slightly, he felt that even if it was soy sauce, Unit 5307 would not be able to leave the battlefield.

"General, I have a proposal."

Paterno stared at the map and said slowly.

"There is a stronghold behind the defense line of the Nanbei River, which should be the starting position of the Japanese army attacking the Feng Yi assault team from the east."

Paterno said, pointing to a stronghold behind the defense line of the North and South Rivers.

"What information did you get?"

Stilwell's first reaction was that new information had arrived, otherwise such important news would have been brought out in the pre-war plan.

"It was provided by the Burmese, who call it Weshuka, a relatively large village, and the easy road from Waruban to Mon Kung passes by him."

Paterno nodded, he had indeed just received a piece of information about the Japanese army attacking Feng Jie's headquarters from behind.

"The 146th Wing of the 56th Division of the Japanese Army came to help, which was originally stationed in Menggong and came to more than two brigades; The assault teams of the North and South River defense lines were attacked on both sides, and it would be very difficult for them to hold on. ”

Paterno continued.

"What are your plans?"

Stilwell asked.

"According to the experience of the Yubang battle, the combat effectiveness of the young men of Unit 5307 was not as bad as it was today, and the village where they fought with the Chinese commandos became a brutal and fierce battlefield, but they were still able to hold on; I think they should hold on with Colonel Feng, so that Feng has no reason to retreat alone. ”

Paterno's eyes twinkled, and he spoke slowly.

"Do you think Unit 5307 should cross the Nanbei River, attack Weishuka, and block the enemy behind the Chinese commandos?"

Of course, Stilwell understood what Paterno meant, and he was unwilling to arrange Unit 5307 to be beaten in front of the North and South River, but it was more suitable to deal with only more than 2,000 Japanese reinforcements, after all, Unit 5307 still had more than 2,700 troops available for use, coupled with the natural advantage of defensive operations, the Japanese army had to break through their positions without heavy artillery cover, unless the soldiers of Unit 5307 were pigs.

"Yes, General."

Paterno nodded, that was exactly what he was going to do.

"What do you think differently?"

Stilwell looked at the officers in the war room, and he also thought that this plan was feasible, and symbolically asked for everyone's opinions.

"Leave the scattered devils alone, concentrate your fire on the bastards on the bridge."

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

"Da Da Da ......"

"Bang, bang, bang......"

When the new Pingyang command was discussing the battle situation, Feng Yi was fighting hard in the north and south rivers, and the devils attacked again, and they prepared a new thing, that is, a 20mm rapid-fire cannon to join the battlefield, which was originally designed to deal with the machine guns produced by the aircraft, the power of flat fire was very powerful, the rate of fire was fast, the trajectory was accurate, and it was a piece of earth and rock that was shot away on the trench, and the brethren of the commando team had to dodge the pursuit of this bullet rain.

"Kill and give!"

On the north and south rivers, the Japanese commanders shouted loudly and kept landing on the east bank under the cover of rapid-fire guns and heavy artillery.

"Company commander, another devil has come ashore!"

A platoon commander pointed to the shore, in the telescope, he could see the devils lying on the ground and shooting, but unfortunately the rifle could not hit at all, and mortars had to be used, and tonight, mortars were mainly used to deal with the rapid-fire guns and heavy machine guns of the devils on the opposite bank, and the most important thing was that they could not continue to shell, and they had to run up to fight, which greatly limited the density of artillery fire and the hit rate.

"Leave those who come ashore."

Zhang Dajiang shouted that he had been notified before dark that it was the plan of the regiment headquarters to let some devils go ashore and reduce his own casualties.

The devils lying on the river did not attack blindly, they were waiting to concentrate more troops, a squadron could reach the shore safely no more than fifty percent, and the rest either died on the pontoon bridge or fell into the river, if they were lucky, they could climb up, and if they were unlucky, they would be washed downstream by the river, and it would depend on their luck whether it was on the east bank or the west bank.
