Chapter 1317: A Blessing in Disguise!
Feng Ye began to attack, and the squad that came over first had two sniper rifles, hiding directly behind the shelter, sniping at the devils in the field; At this time, inside the circular sandbag, the two brothers finally had time to see what happened to the brother who had been shot.
"Still angry, come and help."
The brothers, whose shirts had been stained red with blood, lay on the ground, violently ripped off their uniforms, tore strips of cloth from their clothes, wrapped themselves around the bleeding wounds, and shouted in their mouths.
"Here we go!"
Two kicked over a door panel and ran over with it.
"Let's go!"
The four brothers carried the door panel and retreated to the rear......
The devils who slipped into the barn didn't expect that under the attack of the two squads of their direct squad, they couldn't withstand it for even ten minutes, and they were cleaned up in the grenade explosion.
"You can't let the devil retract and wrap it up."
After cleaning up the devils in the livestock shed, Feng Yi shouted, they are now completely strong from the outside, and they can't let the devils know the truth inside.
"Commander, there's a minefield over there."
The first squad leader reminded Feng Ye that there were at least two mines near the gang of devils, and they really couldn't be wrapped.
"Then go around and copy them from behind."
Feng Yi squinted, he was not going to let these devils go back.
"The sniper keeps shooting."
Feng Ye carried Thomson on his back, pulled the bolt of the sniper rifle, found a sandbag and lay down, and aimed at the field.
"Hmph, that's you."
Feng Ye squinted, he hadn't used a sniper rifle for a long time, but as soon as he picked up this, his shooting feeling came back.
"Bang!"
"Dang!"
Feng Yi went to the reflective steel helmet, and directly smashed the steel helmet with one shot, and the devil officer lying next to him was stunned, this military cao didn't move at all! How it was locked.
"Whew!"
The officer looked at the red and white things flowing from under the steel helmet and touched the top of his head.
"Emperor bless."
Silently praying in his heart, he felt that he was too lucky, he was wearing a military hat, not a steel helmet.
"Keep shooting and serve His Majesty the Emperor!"
The officer shouted, while he himself slowly stepped back, not daring to lift his butt and disappear into the weeds.
"Boom, boom......"
The mountain artillery began to bombard again, and Zhizun's troops rested for two hours and had to enter the field again, hoping to find the artillery positions of the devils.
"Bang, bang......"
"Da Da Da ......"
Unfortunately, the devils were already on guard, and as soon as they entered the field, they were discovered by the devils' sentinels, and the warning rifles and the crooked machine guns that followed the strafing told the commandos that their sneak attack was hopeless.
"Didi ......"
For both China and Japan, the day is long, but fortunately, the night finally came, and the radio kept chirping, transmitting all kinds of information on the battlefield.
In the vicinity of Xitong, the devil's losses have exceeded 2,000 people, and they have no way to attack it, and the devil officer who fled back reported to his superiors that there were very many Chinese troops in the warehouse, and it was impossible for all the troops who attacked to resist to die, so that the devil officer gave up the plan of wolf pack tactics.
This may have been a blessing in disguise for Feng and the commando brothers.
The 55th Wing and 56th Wing of the 18th Division, the main force defending the Kameng, have been annihilated, and although the remnants of the Japanese troops of the 18th Division are desperately resisting in the Kameng, they cannot pose any threat; For the two divisions of the New 1st Army that encircled the Kameng, their only remaining opponents were the two wings of the 53rd Division.
"Boom la la ......"
The good weather is finally gone, just after the early hours of the morning, the rain in northern Myanmar finally arrived, and it was getting heavier and heavier, and gradually it had become a rain curtain.
At this time, because Myitkyina could not be attacked for a long time, the contradiction between the Chinese and American commanders was once again intensified, and this matter started with Stilwell's adjustment of the command system when the first attack wave was unfavorable.
On 23 May, Stilwell arrived at Myitkyina to adjust the command system along with Zheng Dongguo, commander of the New First Army, Hu Su, commander of the New 30th Division, Pan Yukun, commander of the 50th Division, and Chief of Staff of the General Headquarters. On behalf of Stilwell, Paitno set up a combat command post for the Chinese Army in India in Myitkyina to carry out the command; With Macham as the field commander, he commanded the various units in Myitkyina; Hunter served as commander of the 5307th Regiment. The Chinese troops in Myitkyina were under the command of Hu Su and Pan Yukun respectively, and the temporary formation of the original Sino-US joint assault detachment was abolished.
Compared with Merrill, Brentno had no actual combat experience and the ability to command large corps in battle, and he did not dare to go to the front line, and relied solely on the reports of liaison officers at all levels on the battlefield on both sides of the battlefield, and such reports were often false; Moreover, Bertno has always been domineering and contemptuous of the Chinese officers, and has always turned a deaf ear to their reports and reasonable suggestions, and has been self-righteous and obstinate; Moreover, because of his eagerness to seek merit, starting from 25 May, regardless of the situation, he launched many reckless large-scale attacks, resulting in heavy casualties among Chinese and American soldiers, and they could only advance 50 to 200 meters a day. On the contrary, he slandered the Chinese army for "ineffective combat and sluggish patrols," and even removed Hu Su from his post without authorization and sent him back to China.
On June 1, Minakami Genzo, commander of the infantry regiment of the 56th Division of the Japanese Army, led a battalion of the 113th Wing, a squadron of field artillery, and the main force of the 56th Engineer Wing of the reinforcement force, and smoothly crossed the Irrawaddy River from Wanyang (Wemao) near Myitkyina and entered Myitkyina.
At this time, Paterno was still insisting on tunnel warfare, insisting on using aerial bombs and artillery to open the way, and then ordering the infantry to conduct tunnel warfare, without learning a lesson at all, and sending troops to bypass Myitkyina to cut off the devil's reinforcement channel.
Although Stilwell's King Cobra plan had strong air support, it lacked close ground and air liaison and coordinated operations, insufficient ground artillery fire, and insufficient coordination between infantry and artillery, resulting in the surprise attack on Myitkyina evolving into the current assault battle, which was developing in a protracted direction, with heavy casualties among the attacking troops; With the onset of the rainy season, their air supply routes are now in danger of being cut off.
"Report, Allied command telegram."
Feng received a telegram from Stilwell, not specifically to him, but to all the officers on the front line of Kameng and Meng Gong, including Sun Liren and Liao Yaoxiang.
The order on the telegram was simple, that is, the battle of Myitkyina was now very difficult to supply logistically, and the supply lines of more than 10,000 Allied troops in Myitkyina were now cut off by air during the rainy season at any time, and could not be restored; As a result, more than 10,000 Allied troops near Myitkyina were in a very dangerous situation, and the new 1st Army and commandos in front of them were urgently needed to capture Kameng and Mon Gong in order to open up the ground route to Myitkyina.
"More than 10,000 people, how did they fight like this? No matter how strong Myitkyina's defenses were, it should have been captured long ago! ”
Feng Yi frowned, he originally thought that this telegram was good news, announcing the recovery of Myitkyina by the expeditionary force, but he didn't expect it to be a blow to the head.
