Chapter 208 Nankan's Last Assassin
Sato Matasaburo had few soldiers and no support, so he regarded those artillerymen as treasures, and also as the last trump card to defend Nankan.

He hid this heavy artillery unit in a mountainous area around Nankan to prepare for the new army when Nankan was attacked by the new army.

The 150mm howitzer was definitely a big killer in that era. Although the range of these heavy artillery of the Japanese army is not far, but once aimed at the shell, the power of the shell is amazing.

Now Sato Matasaburo knew where the new army was going to attack, so he set up an ambush early.

There are only more than 500 Japanese troops stationed in Nankan City, and the remaining more than 2000 Japanese troops are all stationed in various main roads outside Nankan City.

This is the empty city plan he made using the information sent back by "Salted Fish"!
Use Nankan as a bait to lure the New 30th Division to attack, and then order the heavy artillery to shell it.

If it succeeds, it may be able to severely damage the new 30th Division that is attacking from the front, and it may even change the situation of the entire battlefield in northern Myanmar!

This heavy artillery force became the last trump card to defend Nankan at this time.

……

After returning to the advance group, Gao Fei immediately ordered the soldiers to sort out their weapons and ammunition and prepare for departure.

It turned out that the advance team had been resting, and Gao Fei thought that he would miss the battle of Nankan this time.

However, due to changes in the situation, the advance group still caught up with this battle.

When the advance group returned to the Gongga Bridge again, a large number of engineers and soldiers were busy building the road.

The construction efficiency is quite impressive. In order to open up the China-India Highway, Stilwell spared no effort to obtain a large amount of construction machinery and equipment from the Allied Forces.

This has greatly improved the construction efficiency of road construction.

Since Bhamo was captured, the engineering troops began to rush to repair the Banan Highway.

Those large, converted bulldozers tripled the width of the road, and newly arrived loggers cut down all the trees that got in the way, and the tractors pulled the wood where it was needed.

Brigadier General Peake, the commander-in-chief of the engineering department, also faithfully performed his duties.

It took three days to repair the damaged Gongga Bridge to the point where trucks can pass through it.

Although it is not enough to pass dozens of tons of heavy vehicles such as tanks and heavy artillery, trucks and infantry can pass with confidence.

In the bridgehead area, the relics left by the previous battles have also been cleaned up by the engineering troops.

However, the wreckage of scrapped artillery and vehicles that were cleared to the side of the road can still be seen.

Even after so many days, when the advance team came here, they could still smell a faint smell of blood in the air.

When the advance group passed the hill where they fought, Gao Fei ordered the troops to stop advancing.

After the team stopped, Gao Fei came to the foot of the mountain.

Looking up at the hill that didn't even have a name, the scene of him leading his brothers to fight the devils on the hill flashed in his mind.

In this way, the nine heroes of 430 completely left their lives here and buried their bones in other lands.

Thinking of the heroic souls who died in battle, Gao Fei couldn't help bowing deeply to the hill.

Then said: "Brothers, go all the way!!"

Behind him, the soldiers of the advance regiment formed a neat queue.

Meng Fanle shouted loudly: "Salute!"

Hearing a loud bang, more than 500 capable men of the advance group raised their arms in unison, and saluted the hill with a standard military salute.

Gao Fei turned around: "Brothers, we want to kill more devils and avenge them!"

"Kill kill kill!"

Shouting loudly.

Before departure, Gao Fei got a detailed map of Nankan. This map was compiled and drawn by the Allied Air Forces using aerial reconnaissance photos. Overall, it is quite detailed.

But Gao Fei found out that there was a big problem with this map after careful study and judgment.

Although the geographic location is marked clearly and detailedly, but because there is no field observation, it is only drawn using aerial photos, so many places on the map have no elevation, or the elevation is wrong.

In some places, the map shows flat land, but after arriving at the place, it is found that it is a steep cliff that cannot be climbed.

Therefore, when traveling with this map, it is easy to make mistakes.

Sometimes the selected route has to be changed due to the wrong terrain.

In addition, the Japanese army carried out destruction along the highway, and many dangerous places were also controlled.

Therefore, Gao Fei decided to lead the contingent to give up advancing along the road, but chose a hidden route to search the mountains around Nankan.

Around Nancan City, there is a relatively flat river valley with a radius of tens of miles.

But in the south direction is a large mountain, where the mountains are high and the forests are dense.

If you choose to take the road in the valley, although the terrain is flat, the Japanese army is condescending and controlling the road, so it is very easy to be discovered and ambushed.

In order to avoid the Japanese army, the route Gao Fei chose was basically interspersed through the primitive jungle.

And he judged that in order to protect the heavy artillery unit, the Japanese army would definitely concentrate most of its troops on the mountains south of Nankan.

Therefore, he led the advance team directly into the mountain, and began to search along the mountainous area on the southwest side of Nankan.

It is winter now, and the temperature in the mountains and forests is not too high. The temperature is more than 20 degrees during the day and more than ten degrees at night.

When it comes to action, compared to the summer rainy season, activities in the jungle are much more comfortable, at least not hot and sweaty.

There are still many kinds of poisonous insects in the forest. They can only wear long-sleeved military uniforms and helmets, and apply insect repellent powder on their hands and faces to protect places that cannot be exposed from being bitten by poisonous insects.

The closer to the mountains in the south, all the soldiers of the advance regiment became more careful. Everyone made careful camouflage and put on homemade camouflage clothing.

There is silence in the forest, only the chirping of birds and insects.

Overhead there was the frolic of monkeys, and the occasional howl of other beasts.

Other than that, there were only the sounds of soldiers pushing away bushes or cutting vines.

In half a day, the advance group had already entered the area where the Japanese army might be active.

Gao Fei didn't speak, but just raised his hand and gestured towards Milong.

Milong understood in seconds, waved his hand forward, and dozens of scouts dispersed immediately.

When they walked a few hundred meters, Mi Long suddenly raised his hand and clenched his fist.

All the soldiers immediately squatted down, or hid behind the nearby trees.

After the team stopped, Gao Fei took out the binoculars and began to carefully observe the surrounding environment.

In front of it is a rolling hill, a small stream passes through the foot of the hill, and flows slowly along the side of the hill to the Namkan River Valley inside.

If you want to enter the Nam Khan Valley, you must climb over the hill ahead.

Obviously, there must be Japanese troops stationed on such a hill.

After observing for a while, there was a sudden sound of thin footsteps in front of him, as well as a low-pitched voice, speaking in Japanese.

Gao Fei saw it with a binoculars. This was a Japanese search team, with a total of eight devils.

So he immediately raised his hand and made a gesture, and the soldiers immediately pulled the bolt of the gun and loaded the bullet into the chamber.

Then Mi Long, Bu La, and Yao Ma led their subordinates and quickly spread out in the forest.

With the help of the trees and grass blades in the forest, they concealed themselves, and formed a pocket formation tacitly.

After about ten minutes, a figure began to move in the forest ahead.

These devils were obviously proficient in camouflage, and covered their bodies and heads with a lot of thatch, which well concealed their figures.

If it is lying in the grass, it is really difficult to find.

But now this gang of devils is on patrol. Although the disguise is good, they were discovered by Milong's scouts at the first time.

And this group of Japanese soldiers obviously didn't know that they had become the prey of the advance regiment at this time.

As this group of devils stepped into the ambush circle, several soldiers from the reconnaissance battalion had been ordered by Milong to quietly go around behind, cut off the escape route, and made dumplings firmly.

Until this time, there was a ghost with a sharper intuition who suddenly felt that something was wrong with the surrounding atmosphere.

Because the birds in the forest suddenly stopped singing.

"Hey~ I don't feel right! (Japanese)"

He called out to his companion who was still walking forward, and raised the [-] cap in his hand, looking at a tall bush and made a vigilant posture.
