Chapter 1268: Angry at Both Ends!
With supplies, the prisoners of war in the camp were not able to eat and drink too much, and according to the doctor's instructions, there were many things that their bodies could not eat now, but one thing was guaranteed: the mush of canned beef, candy, chocolate, soy products and biscuits did not taste good, but they could feed them enough.
Feng Yi didn't know what the situation of Laban was, the under-armed assault team did not rashly attack Laban, and after a few hours, the condition of the wounded soldiers stabilized, and the most important thing was that Wang Ning reported that he had found a suitable camp for defense, and that a squad of brothers was marching here, ready to meet them.
"Order the troops, pack up supplies, and prepare to retreat!"
Feng Yi put down the telegram and let out a sigh of relief, at least there were no enemy shells flying over now, and he could walk a little more steadily.
"Colonel, you can't go now, their situation is terrible, two days, let them repair here for two days before leaving!"
Not surprisingly, Captain Johnson did come and refused to retreat now.
"Captain, your men can not leave, but the Chinese soldiers are leaving; As for your safety, I will leave you some of the airdropped guns and ammunition, enough for your self-defense, good luck. ”
Feng Yi's tone was firm, there was no room for negotiation, and he didn't even bother to explain anything to this Englishman.
"Shiruru ......"
The horses and mules in the camp were now the only means of transport, and now the rescued brothers finally understood that they would not kill the animals last night to feed them.
"Commander, there are too many things, and half of them can't be taken away."
One hour later, the brothers arrived, but Feng found that even though the brothers had tried their best to carry them on their shoulders, there were still a large amount of supplies that could not be taken away.
"Medicine and ammunition are taken away first, and food is left first."
Feng Yi thought about it and made a decision.
"So what do so many people eat?"
Min Fei was a little confused, he had been starved, and he was afraid of hunger when he was in China.
"Hehe, let the Americans airdrop."
Feng Yi pointed to the sky, if it was really too late to come back to get it, it would be good to let the Americans airdrop it again before dark.
"Oh!"
Min Fei suddenly realized.
"Order Zhang Chuan to immediately withdraw from the prisoner of war camp, spread out the cordon, and if the devil comes, let him withdraw directly."
The camp that Wang Ning is looking for is not far from here, a little more than two kilometers, and then in the remnants of the Kumang Mountains, relying on the cover of the mountains and forests, these people can hide quietly inside, even if the devils want to bombard with artillery, they have to be fixed first, and now, the commandos are not afraid to conduct outpost battles with the devil's scouts, the devil's veterans are almost dead, and the quality of the recruits is completely unable to compete with the elite of the commando.
"Yaga, damn the plane."
The artillery of the devils has arrived, the prisoner of war battalions are already within the range of their shelling, and even the commander of the artillery of the devils has adjusted the shelling parameters, and only one round of test firing is needed to start the shelling.
Eight mountain and infantry guns were hiding in the bushes, and he believed that after a few rounds of artillery fire, there would be nothing left of the prisoner of war camp.
But the planes that passed by from time to time in the sky made him understand that he might not have the opportunity to shell a few rounds, and that he could make his mountain guns and infantry guns an ornament without bomber bombs, fighter cannons and airborne machine guns.
"Withdraw, withdraw......"
When Feng Yi led people back again, there were only lightly armed soldiers and a few mules and horses, and he did not send the supplies and prisoners of war to the camp, because the camp was still being repaired, and he needed to return first to get the supplies out, and as for the camp and the transfer of materials, he could do the same at night.
"Boom, boom......"
As the sky grew darker and the sky became blurred, a field of shells whizzed across the night sky and smashed into the prisoner of war camp.
"Huhuhu......"
And from the south side of Laban and the prisoner of war camp, a steel helmet swayed and struck at the prisoner of war camp.
"The devil's bombardment is coming, and their infantry will attack after the shelling is over."
More than 500 meters behind him was a prisoner of war camp, and Feng Yi was glad that it was good to have air superiority, and even the enemy's shelling time could be controlled.
"Extinguish all the bonfires and let everyone sleep in the open."
After arriving at the camp, Wang Ning had just finished the construction of the outer trenches and foxholes, the wounded soldiers, medical personnel and tired prisoners of war were sitting on the ground drinking thick porridge, the bonfire was emitting light, and under the dim firelight, all of them had smiles on their faces, they were also glad that they had escaped from the prisoner of war camp, otherwise they could only wail under the fire of the devils now.
"Sir, the light of the fire can drive away a large number of insects and snakes, and it is good for all those who sleep on the street; And whether it is to continue to build a camp or to carry supplies, it is inseparable from the fire. ”
Johnson was a little puzzled as to why he was putting out the campfire now.
"The devil's cannon has stopped, maybe the devil has now found out that they are bombing an empty prisoner of war camp, you think with your toes, will their infantry search? It's night, and that thing attracts enemies. ”
Feng Ye slapped the steel helmet, are these British pigs? Do they really not know how to hide behind enemy lines?
"Sir, I hope you're right."
Johnson shrugged and the campfire disappeared from the bushes and mountain forests under the mud and sand......
"Regiment Commander, Commander Sun telegraphed."
Feng Yi took the telegram and squatted in the trench, his brows gradually furrowed under the light of the flashlight.
The telegram had no other content, just urging him to immediately attack Laban, cut off the supply of the Japanese army in Bujieban Mountain, and then cooperate with the New First Army to quickly solve the devils in Bujieban Mountain.
"Call back, according to the order of the theater command, now our department is settling prisoners of war, and it is expected that the offensive will begin in two days."
Feng Ye looked at the forest, these prisoners of war are all soldiers, their foundation is good, three days, it is definitely unrealistic for them to recover their strength and go to the field, but it is estimated that it is not a big problem to let them pick up their guns and hold the camp; Of course, his brothers now need to trim themselves and climb over the Kumang Mountains to exhaust them physically and mentally.
"Keep the necessary guards and let the brethren get some time to rest."
Feng Yi sighed, tonight, he was supposed to walk west of Laban in a company unit to attack the convoy of the devil at night, but now he had to stop, because the brethren of the commando team needed to rest too much.
"Fast, fast......"
There is no doubt that now Laban's devils are driving the Burmese, the neighing of mules and horses is constant, shoulder-to-shoulder, and a large amount of war materials are being transferred to Bujeban Mountain, and there is an enemy near Laban, and they are not sure how long they can transport the supplies.
"Yaga, Yaga!"
The two squadrons of Japanese soldiers who stormed the prisoner of war camp saw not a single corpse, only collapsed houses and crackling fires.
"Withdraw Laban."
They don't know where the Chinese and prisoners of war went? They also did not dare to send a large number of troops to search, because Laban's supplies were more important than anything else.
"Your Excellency, the artillery unit will only be able to stay here for a maximum of three days, and they must return to Kalu."
The junior officer of the artillery squadron spoke in a cold tone and explained the situation to the reinforcing officer of the lieutenant.
"I understand, you continue to hide and see if the Chinese will attack Laban."
Officer Nakasa brought a squadron, which was also the last reinforcement given to Laban by the wing headquarters, and the two squadrons guarded a small town of Laban, and in the eyes of the devil, there were already a lot of troops.
"Didi ......"
The night air waves carry all kinds of information and orders.
"Tell Master Sun that starting tomorrow, Laban's supplies will no longer be transported to Bujieban Mountain."
Feng Ye was very irritated by the telegrams back and forth, and when it came to this, all the contradictions came to him, and Stilwell and Zheng Dongguo seemed to forget that this should be solved by them, and only put forward their own requirements, sandwiching Feng Ye in the middle is not a person.
Feng Yi once again showed a strong standing skill, that is, he could fall asleep with his eyes closed, there was no way, many of the officers and staff officers on duty on the telegram who came and went couldn't call the shots, and kept waking him up.
Don't airdrop! No reinforcements! After the casualty information was reported, Feng Ye was never disturbed again, and the devil was busy transporting supplies at night, and he didn't have the troops to trouble him, so he could finally sleep until dawn.
"Regiment commander, the brothers of the reconnaissance company went to Laban to monitor the movements of the devils."
When Feng woke up, the camp was already busy, the brothers who were transporting supplies were sweating profusely, the medical staff were checking the condition of the wounded soldiers, and the prisoners of war who had recovered a little bit were also beginning to become familiar with firearms.
"Tell Rhoda that the reconnaissance company should leave a platoon of brothers to keep watch, and the rest of the people should pay attention to repairs, and there will be tasks at night."
"Let Liang Hao go to Bujieban Mountain to reconnoiter and move forward, and feel the deployment of the devil."
Feng Yi felt that his whole body was sore, and the humidity of the night soaked his body, so he also had to move and make his body sweat; And now the last thing that is lacking in a busy camp is manual work, digging trenches and semi-underground bunkers, and even carrying supplies.
"If you can move, move it all and get to work."
Seeing Feng Yi sweating like rain, the British and American soldiers couldn't sit still, they took off their clothes one by one, and even their ribs were very thin, but there were many people, and the entire camp slowly took shape at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"It's time to eat!"
Under certain conditions, the field rations of the US army will turn into all kinds of paste, which will protect the poor stomach of the soldiers; Of course, a lot of people here need this kind of liquid food now, and they're a little uncomfortable with dry biscuits and all kinds of canned food.
Adequate food and proper labor not only saved the prisoners' bodies, but also allowed them to recover mentally.
"Hahaha......"
As they worked, the brothers told all kinds of jokes, and of course, for the soldiers, the kind of jokes with yellow colors were destined to become a constant topic of conversation in their mouths.
"Min Fei, your battalion will stay on guard tonight."
"Four hours later, Wang Ning took the second battalion to take over."
In the dim sky, Feng Yi set off with three battalions, their tactics tonight were very simple, that is, to break them into pieces, not to annihilate how many devils there were, but to make his team transporting supplies unable to get close to Bujieban Mountain.
Of course, the reconnaissance company and the guard company also withdrew at night, and they were busy all day, repairing at night, and in these two days, they had to take advantage of the time for the prisoners of war to recover, so that the brethren of the commando team could also recover.
"Shiruru ......"
The devils knew that there were Allied commandos nearby, they had no one to light torches in the dark, and the trail crossed the field like earthworms, they had come and gone so many times that they could already march in the dark, but the neighing of horses and the sound of footsteps trampling the dirt could not be concealed.
"The devil came out, remember, hit and run, don't entangle."
A platoon of brothers scattered around, weaving through the field, approaching like a sound.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
"Da Da Da ......"
"Sudden ......"
The explosion of the grenade sprayed flames from the muzzle of the light machine gun and Thomson's gun, and the bullets flew through the field in a fan.
"Puff puff ......"
"Ahh
Screams were heard in the night.
"Enemy attack!"
"Da Da Da ......"
When the guns of the devil's counterattack rang out, the attacking brethren had already left their original positions, waiting for the devils to move again, anyway, now they have time.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
"Da Da Da ......"
There was more than one road leading to Bujeban Hill in the whole field, and when gunshots and explosions were heard everywhere, the devil officer knew that it was very difficult tonight, and the more this time came, the less likely it would be for him to send a large number of protective troops, because that would lead to the emptiness of Laban's defense.
As for the artillery, they simply could not shell, because the attacking Chinese troops simply did not have the desire to continue fighting, they hit and run.
"Your Excellency, Miki Shaosa called, the supply channel was attacked by the Allies, and the convoy is currently unable to pass, please prepare early."
Amid the sound of the radio, the commander of the Bujeban Mountain Danger soon received information from Laban.
"Let them send out a vigilance force, and they must get supplies into the line before dawn."
The officers were very angry that the feints of the New First Army had brought them few casualties, but the ammunition was very high, because the Chinese soldiers were always wandering in the river valleys, and they often had to pay hundreds of rounds of ammunition to catch the soldiers who were slippery than loaches.
This is Yangmou, of course you can ignore those stragglers in twos and threes, but there is another saying that a small amount becomes a lot, you don't care about one wave, you don't care about two waves, and after a few days, I'm afraid that Bujieban Mountain will be surrounded by Chinese troops, and they can attack from any direction.
"Doctors, doctors......"
The gunfire on the field became more and more intense, and of course there were unlucky people in the commandos who were hit by stray bullets and then taken back to the camp by the brethren, which was temporarily the rear of the commandos.
“OK! You'll be fine, kid. ”
The British medical team was still very professional, quickly entering the role, treating wounded soldiers one by one.
"Second battalion, ready to go."
In the fierce gunfire, Wang Ning shouted for the brothers to prepare.
