Soon, the division headquarters sent a telegram to Yuesong's reconnaissance team.
The reconnaissance team that was revising by the river was either injured or exhausted. When the brothers heard the fierce gunfire outside the city, they felt bad.
"Captain, I can still fight. This is a small injury. Mengzi bandaged it for me and it will be fine. Look, I lifted the machine gun easily. We can't be idle like this. We have to give it to the Japanese."
Let's go find some trouble and give some support to the brothers in the city." Minghe said to Yuesong.
Yuesong smoked a cigarette alone without saying a word. Tubaozi died heroically and everyone was burned to ashes. This was hard for him to accept. Wuwa was injured and could no longer participate in the battle for a while. Minghe's injuries were also serious.
Don't worry, continuing to participate in the battle will inevitably affect the power of his machine gun.
"Captain, telegram from division headquarters." Lei Hang reported.
"What's the content?" Yuesong didn't even look at Lei Hang.
"The telegram said that according to the intelligence from the General Headquarters, the Japanese army has invested a total of four divisions in this attack on Yunnan and Burma. The location of the Japanese 56th Division has never been clear. General Stilwell has always stubbornly believed that the Japanese army
They will not go through the high mountains and jungles on the eastern front, but Commander Du and Commander Dai are very worried that the Japanese 56th Division will abandon the heavy armor, travel through the jungle lightly, and attack Tonggu City from the eastern front. In that case, not only will the entire front be torn apart,
The retreat route of the 200th Division will also be completely blocked."
"So much bullshit, just let us go to the dense forest to the east to detect the movements of the Japanese 56th Division."
"Yes, Captain."
Yuesong threw the cigarette butt on the ground, stepped on it, and said, "Call back and resolutely execute the order."
"yes."
"Douzi, go and call Chao Chao over."
"yes."
Yuesong finally overcame the difficulties and left the injured Wu Wa and Ming He in the jungle near the Piyou River to recuperate in hiding. The third brother and Mengzi were responsible for accompanying them. Although the third brother was very unhappy, Ming He also wanted to participate in the reconnaissance.
But Yuesong still forcibly ordered them to stay. He and Brother Chao took the remaining brothers, divided into two groups, and headed for the dense tropical jungle to the east.
The two Japanese regiments had been attacking for a whole day. After injuring a number of imperial warriors, Hiroshi Takeuchi ordered the two regiment captains to rest and reorganize their troops and fight again tomorrow.
The 200th Division temporarily only dispatched one battalion each to guard the east, west, south and north sides of Tonggu City. After a day of fierce fighting, it can be said that the arrogance of the Japanese army was initially blocked, which also greatly boosted the morale of the troops. However,
Commander Dai was not satisfied. He held on for two weeks and was attacked on three sides. He had no heavy weapons, low and dilapidated walls, and all the disadvantages had not yet fully emerged. He had to think of some crooked strategy.
That night, in the early hours of the morning, the clouds were thick and the stars and the moon were gone. Under the unified command of the division, Battalion Commander Chang and Commander Tong each led more than a hundred elite soldiers, carrying explosives and wires, and secretly went out.
After entering the trench, he quietly moved towards the Japanese position which was being revised.
When the troops advanced about 100 meters, Battalion Commander Chang said to the engineer company commander beside him: "Act according to the predetermined plan and move quickly, especially the laying of wires, which must be concealed. We must complete the task before we withdraw."
"Yes, I promise to complete the task."
The engineer company commander and his engineers quickly dug a hole 100 meters in front of the defenders' trench, bought explosives, and connected the detonating wires to prepare for the fierce battle the next day.
When Battalion Commander Chang saw the engineers starting to get busy, he waved his hand forward and led his brothers to continue to touch the sleeping Japanese soldiers.
Commander Dai did not dare to be lonely, so he left Chief of Staff Lu at the headquarters and led a squad of guards into the trenches in the east of the city in the dark night.
A company commander who was guarding the trench saw the division commander coming to the trench in person and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"No need, your battalion commander has led the team himself?" Commander Dai asked.
"yes."
"It's all a virtue. If you don't go into battle personally, you'll feel itchy."
"Hey, I want to lead the team, but the battalion commander insists that I stay in the trench."
Commander Dai raised his telescope and could vaguely see a group of brothers digging holes to bury explosives a hundred meters away.
"The key is that the wires of the detonator, thirty meters in front of the position, may be bombarded by Japanese artillery fire. If the wires are blown off, the explosive cannot be detonated at the most appropriate time, and the killing effect will be greatly reduced." Commander Dai looked on.
While talking.
"Division commander, don't worry. After the Japanese bombardment is over, I will send a few engineers to go out and check." The company commander replied.
"Unless absolutely necessary, don't leave the trenches casually. Send a few engineers to keep an eye on the wires. Use trees to make observation posts in the trenches. During shelling, you should also keep an eye on the wires." Commander Dai said.
"Yes, I promise to complete the task."
At this time, gunfire rang out in the east, and Battalion Commander Chang's night attack on the Japanese camp had begun.
