The devils who entered the position from the Menghui River did not dare to attack the position of the first battalion alone, they just hid themselves and waited for the opportunity again.

During the day, when the weather is good, the devils will not attack at their own death, they are very afraid of the air power of the allies.

On May 16, Xitong's commando team had repelled more than ten attacks by the devils in the previous days, except for more than a dozen wounded soldiers in the medical team, the commandos did not suffer much loss, but the devils were miserable, they left thousands of corpses in the attack.

On the night of 16 May, after the 2nd Column arrived at the Nam Kwai River in the western suburbs of Myitkyina, it immediately controlled the Bamadi Ferry with the 1st Battalion of the US Army, cut off the road from Myitkyina to Mon Kung and attacked the airport in the early morning of the 17th, and the Japanese troops guarding the airport retreated to the railway station. The 150th Regiment did take control of the airfield and its surrounding points, cleared the runway, and erected a banner to signal that Stilwell Airfield was ready to be airborne. The 89th Regiment and the 14th Regiment of the New 30th Division, as well as artillery and engineering units, which were already ready to be deployed at airports in various places, were successively airlifted to Myitkyina from 3 p.m. on the 17th.

"Ministries, please note that the King Cobra program has been launched, and from today we will lose air support, pay attention to building bunkers, the devil's artillery has not appeared, which is a bit abnormal."

Feng Ye shouted in the walkie-talkie, and the devil's artillery never appeared, which made him feel a little panicked.

For a few days in Xitong, the devil's attacks were testing, testing the firepower and weakness of the defenders, although many soldiers died, but they also understood that the defenders here did not have any flaws.

Tanaka Shinichi is not a waste, he has not done nothing these days, the Japanese troops from Meng Heng to attack Xitong have been further expanded, in addition to the reinforcements of the 4th Wing of the 2nd Division, 1 brigade of the 114th Wing of the 18th Division, part of the 128th Wing of the 53rd Division, and part of the 151st Wing also advanced south from Kameng (Gamai) at this time, with the main force to encircle and annihilate the expeditionary force commando in the Xitong area.

"Your Excellency, only the Type 92 infantry guns have arrived; Our heavy artillery, field artillery and rapid-fire artillery are still unreachable, they are stuck in the road, the road is so bad, the warriors can no longer catch the Burmese to help us, every step forward, the warriors need to fight with all their might......"

Meng Gong, the chief of staff shook his head, the bad road situation, there were not enough trucks and horses, and there was nothing to be done by the artillery and baggage men.

"There's no way to wait for the artillery any longer, Myitkyina was attacked by the Allies, and it can't be dragged down here, and the Kameng can't hold it anymore."

Shinichi Tanaka was in a bad mood, and the battlefield in northern Myanmar was terrible and became a mess.

"Now we have to shrink all our forces, keep Myitkyina and Mon Kung and wait for the rainy season to end, maybe there is hope."

Shinichi Tanaka decided to withdraw all troops from northern Myanmar to maintain the security of Myitkyina and Mon Khang, and of course, to open up the railway line to ensure smooth logistics.

"Order all the troops on the front line of Xitong to open the highway line within two days, and the allied forces in Xitong will either be eliminated or let them roll to the east bank of the Menggong River."

Tanaka Shinichi's orders have now changed, no longer forcing the front-line troops to eliminate the commandos here, and there are too many arms and food in the two warehouses occupied by the Chinese, plus the allied airdrops, the Japanese army no longer has so many troops to fill in.

"According to the investigation of the attack in the past few days, Chinese has planted a large number of mines around it, and it is impossible to sneak attack......"

The night is already very deep, the weather along the Xitong is very good, there are no dark clouds, no drizzle, the moonlight is sprinkled on this land, and the Menggong River is a white line that keeps shaking.

"It's time to eat!"

On the field, dozens of brothers carried large wooden barrels and frames containing hot meat sauce, rice, and cakes.

During the day they did not want to eat hot food, the brothers on the field only had the opportunity to see it at night, and during the day they had to nibble on cold dry food.

"I hope the weather is better these days."

Feng looked at the sky, the King Cobra plan began, and if the weather was bad, the attack built by the Americans on air transport lines would soon be lost to the weather.

"Commander, the weather is good for us! I'm afraid that the devil's various cannons will come up. ”

Wang Ning now hopes that there will be rain every day, so that the road will become more and more tired and muddy.

"Zhang Chuan, how are you doing over there?"

Feng Yi looked at Zhang Chuan, in the past few days, the devils have been attacking in the south, and the battle of the third battalion has not stopped, but the second battalion and the first battalion have stopped for a few days.

"No problem, the devils only have a few infantry guns and I killed one of them, and they can't get in."

Zhang Chuan looked indifferent, don't look at the three battalions, but there were only more than 20 casualties, now they have a large amount of ammunition, the brothers on the position are very fierce, but the defense line that each brother is responsible for is very long, which leads to the fact that the devil's grenadiers and infantry artillery cannot kill the defenders on the position in a large area.

"Wang Ning, you must pay attention over there, the high ground cannot be lost, your depth is the warehouse; The devils who were by the Menggong River a few days ago are still nowhere to be seen, and they are right next to you, waiting for you to make a mistake. ”

Feng Ye has been contacting Min Fei for the past few days, but there are no devils behind Min Fei to attack, the connection to the north is too far, and the thin forces can't deal with that area at all.

"Understood, I'm keeping an eye on the high ground myself."

Wang Ning nodded.

"Go and prepare! The devils haven't attacked these nights, which is not a good thing for us. ”

Feng Yi squinted, they were all ready for a night battle, but the devil was instigated, so they attacked during the day.

Feng Ye can't do anything now, so he can only stay here and wait for the progress of the new 22nd Division and the new 38th Division.

"Huhuhu......"

The devil did not stop, taking advantage of the rare cover of night, and continued to increase troops along the Menggong River to the east.

"The 4th Wing continues its offensive from the south"

"The 114th Wing is attacking the high ground on the side of the road from the east, and the two squadrons there will cooperate with you."

"128 Wing, attack from the jungle in the west, there has been no fighting here for the past few days, you be careful, watch out for mines......"

The temporary headquarters of the Japanese army in the jungle, several high-ranking officers of the devil pointed to the map, they were ready to directly besiege and force the Chinese in Xitong to retreat north, and the warehouses there could be given to them, but the Xitong guarding the road had to be given up.

"Huhuhu......"

On May 17, after dawn, the devils were full of food and drink, and as the commander looked at his watch and waved his arms, the devils from three directions bent down and drilled out and attacked Xitong.

"Boom!"

The explosion first came from the jungle to the west, and the devil stepped on the mine in the forest, and the thing would not be detected at all under the cover of weeds and shrubs.

"Company commander, two platoons of devils, one hundred and fifty meters away."

The veteran squad leader bent over and jumped through the woods, reporting to Rhoda.

"Look down on me so much?"

Roda muttered.

"Platoon length, get rid of them."

Rhoda didn't bother to get up the resting brothers, he liked to fight the devils in the jungle too much.

"Sudden ......"

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

"Puff puff ......"

Behind the bushes and the weeds, the muzzle of the gun soon came out, and Thomson, M1, and the card soldier were roaring, and the devil fell to the ground without even seeing the enemy.
