Chapter 1303: Helpless Contraction!
Stilwell only knew that if Xitong was taken, then the defenders of Myitkyina would definitely be mobilized, and sure enough, the planes that took off in the rain soon brought back intelligence, and some of the Japanese troops left Myitkyina to move south, as for the specific number, the hazy light rain obscured the realization, and even if the pilots lowered their altitude and risked low-altitude reconnaissance, the observers could not see clearly.
For a whole day after the occupation of Xitong, the assault team did not usher in the attack of the devils, and the sporadic reconnaissance guns on the other side of the river did not seduce them into being fooled, and the commandos had too much experience in how to defend in the surroundment.
Bathing, eating, changing military uniforms, and repairing positions became the next important tasks of the commandos, and as for rest, they could only enjoy it after they had finished their defensive positions.
"Huhuhu......"
The brothers who repaired the position are now completely shirtless, and they can no longer distinguish whether it is sweat or rain, and there are so many good things in the Japanese army's warehouses that they can't use them at all, so at this time they are not so particular, and the brothers who are defending the position take whatever they want.
Mortars, infantry guns, heavy machine guns, etc. are all arranged in the position, as for the guard company and the reconnaissance company, they are now studying the devil's four 150 heavy howitzers, four of these things, to be used at the right time, it will be an absolutely devastating blow to the attacking devils.
"Almost, let the brethren rest and get it again tomorrow."
Gradually, the officers felt that the strength of the brothers was slowly wearing, they were so tired that they did not care about the munitions walking on the position, and after a hurried wash, they lay down, and at last they did not have to rest in the rain, and the devil's barracks were now at their disposal.
"I took a look at the information left by the devil, to the northeast, the devil also has a supply base, located in the northeast of Gamai."
It was dawn, not only Feng Ng, but all the brothers had a good night's sleep, and the strength finally returned, Feng Que ate in the devil's headquarters, pointing to a location on the map: Zhizun.
"This is the last supply base for the devils between Kameng, Gamai and Meng Gong, there are about more than 20 grain and ammunition warehouses, take here, near Meng Gong, the devils have nothing to replenish except for the ammunition stored in the city."
Feng Yi quickly pulled the rice, poured thick beef soup on it, and there was a small pile of green vegetables on the lid of the lunch box in front of him, this is the advantage of occupying the devil's supply base, the brothers don't have to treat their stomachs badly, they can eat as much as they want, and they can eat whatever they want.
"How many people are on the defensive?"
Zhang Chuan didn't raise his head, if he still had such a small number of troops as here, it would not be difficult to take it down.
"It shows a garrison squadron, and a baggage squadron, less than three hundred men; But yesterday we attacked Xitong, which is already the last supply base in the area of the devils, and I don't know if they have increased their troops. ”
Feng Yi pointed to the Japanese military documents next to him, which were recorded like this.
"A sneak attack will definitely not work, the devils must be on guard, maybe they will be monitoring us nearby now, and we will have to attack by force, but we don't have heavy equipment, or let the American planes solve it."
Wang Ning said his suggestion.
"It's useless, you have also seen it, the devil's warehouses are all in caves, and it is difficult for planes to capture targets, even if a small number of aerial bombs are hit, it is not of much use."
Feng Ye continued.
"Cheng, I'll take a battalion with me."
Min Fei nodded, the situation of the commando team is not good now, after this raid, the brothers of the entire commando team are very tired.
"Report, the new 2238th Division is calling."
The Signal Soldier shouted, handing over a telegram.
"It's done, your three battalions continue to strengthen the defense, and I'll take the guard company and the reconnaissance company with me."
Feng Yi swallowed the last bite of food, a smile appeared on his face, the information he asked for had arrived.
Sun Liren sent information that he had ordered the 112th Regiment to make a detour to Gamai, and the 151st Wing of the 53rd Division, the closest Japanese army to the battlefield, was forced to intercept it; The 128th Wing of the 53rd Division and the 53rd Artillery Wing, which were transferred by the Japanese from Casa, were still attacking the British lines, after all, they could not fly over.
As for the opponents of the new 22nd Division, they are now unable to support either, they are on the other side of the river, far from here.
Zhizun is in the northeast of Gamai, in the north of the west, also next to the road, and the commandos attack along the road, the distance between the two sides is only seven kilometers in a straight line, and if there is no sniper from the devils, they can attack in an hour.
After breakfast, the guard company and the reconnaissance company immediately set off and marched towards the attack of Zhizun, while Min Fei entered the position, allowing the brothers to continue to expand their positions to the north.
"The Chinese came out, go back and report."
Sure enough, there were sentinels watching the devils outside Xitong, and the two companies of the commando team had just left Xitong, and the devils hiding in the weeds saw it, and the two soldiers ran back frantically, and they didn't even dare to shoot cold, because it must be a dead end.
After receiving the information that Xitong was raided yesterday afternoon, Zhi Zun has been arranging the defensive line and constantly asking Tanaka Shinichi for support, but in addition to their stubborn orders, the devils took advantage of the afternoon and evening to transfer a batch of war materials to Gamai overnight, but a large number of their trucks were captured by the expeditionary force in Xitong, and their transfer was very limited.
Of course, there are advantages, the garrison squadron and the more than 200 people left behind by the baggage force have a large number of heavy weapons, light and heavy machine guns, mortars and infantry guns, and they lack soldiers to operate weapons.
"The Chinese came out of Xitong and came straight to us."
Zhi Zun, the young officer was very nervous after receiving the information, he is now understaffed, and the huge warehouse area is full of loopholes because of the lack of troops.
"Shrink your forces, hold on to the commanding heights of the Southwest Highway, and wait for reinforcements to ......"
This is Tanaka Shinichi's order, if the warehouse can't be guarded, then don't keep it, so as not to be broken by each one; As for the reinforcements mentioned by Tanaka Shinichi, they can only turn the 151st Wing, which is still on the road, and as for the interspersed 112th Regiment, the devils can no longer take care of it, and they can only order the defenders of Gamai to strengthen their defenses.
The raid on Xitong was successful, and the happiest was Sun Liren, and now the new 38th Division didn't care about the strongholds on the way at all, the 113th Regiment, the 114th Regiment and the division headquarters went straight to Meng Gong, and implemented a large depth interspersed, and Sun Liren was very arrogant, not concealing his whereabouts at all, and the devils blocking the troops on the way, as long as there were no strong fortifications, they were quickly broken through by the two regiments.
"Search forward!"
You can already see the roadblocks set up by the devils on the road, but there are no defensive forces of the devils, and the commandos squatting on both sides of the road look confused and don't understand what the situation is.
"It's impossible for the devil to give up here, be careful."
Feng Ye whispered, and the two companies were divided into countless battle groups, shuttling through the grass, shrubs, and forests, spreading in all directions.
