    The battle at Jiangkou has continued on the fourth day. Perhaps the Burmese army's defeat the day before was still fresh in their memory, so on this day, they were not in a hurry to redouble their troops to attack, but instead built fortifications on the river beach.  , which made Zhang Xian, Cao Jinya and others a little suspicious. Are these Burmese soldiers still worried that they will attack them in turn?

    "Are they not attacking anymore?" Cao Jinya guessed.

    Zhang Xian shook his head. He did not believe that the Myanmar government would be so good at retreating from the difficulties. After all, at this time, the Myanmar army had only suffered a minor setback and had not really hit the southern wall.  "They seem to be waiting for an opportunity!" Zhang Xian also guessed, and at the same time warned Commander Cao: "The more this time comes, the less we can let down our guard. You ordered everyone to be prepared at any time, in order to  Guard against the enemy¡¯s sudden attack!¡±

    "Yes!" Cao Jinya answered.

    Staff Officer Yuan on the side thought for a moment and said worriedly: "Are they just trying to trap us? Make it impossible for us to escape, and then cross the Nu River from somewhere else to sneak attack Meng Sa?"

    Being reminded like this by Yuan Shaohua, Zhang Xian couldn't help but shudder. At this time, Meng Sa had almost no power to resist. Even some student soldiers with no combat experience were sent to support him.  Xu Haibo to fight against the enemies coming from the direction of Jingdong.  Think about it, when he asked for reinforcements from Meng Sa's headquarters yesterday, both Chief Li and Liu Qingyuan clearly told him that there was already an emptiness there. If he wanted to wait for reinforcements, ideally, it would have to be five days later.  , at that time, I believed that Xu Haibo could defeat the Burmese miscellaneous army coming from the direction of Jingdong, and then use some of its troops to rescue the Jiangkou front line.  After all, the Western Front is the enemy's main attack direction. The National Salvation Army contained the enemy's largest force with the smallest force. This in itself was a victory for them.  However, if the Burmese army really did what Staff Yuan said and bypassed the defensive position of the 279th Regiment at the mouth of the river, sneaked across the Nu River from another direction, and attacked Meng Sa, then Meng Sa would definitely be lost.  If the city of Mensa was gone, it would be meaningless for them to hold on here for so long.

    "Consultant Yuan, you may be worrying too much!" Cao Jinya said: "This river flows from Mengbu in the north, that is, there is a ferry to the west of Mengbu, and then only our place is a ferry, and other places  They are all dangerous banks and steep cliffs, making it difficult to make the transition! Haha, in addition, even if the enemy can pass through this river section, we have also built fortifications at Laniushan Mountain. Laniushan Mountain is the only way to enter Mengsa from the west. As long as the enemy can pass through this river section,  If you occupy Laniushan Mountain, then the enemy will not be able to get through at all, unless they fly over from the mountain!"

    Hearing what Cao Jinya said, Yuan Shaohua nodded and said: "If this is the case, then there is really nothing to worry about!"

    Zhang Xian was still a little uneasy. He was silent for a moment and said: "Consultant Yuan is rightly worried. Although there are fortifications built by us in Laniushan, there are only 300 people, which is only two companies of troops. If the enemy encircles them in large numbers,  Crossing the river mouth, I¡¯m afraid that such a small force simply won¡¯t be able to withstand it!¡±

    When Zhang Xian said this, Cao Jinya and Yuan Shaohua became a little uneasy, and asked together: "What should we do?"

    Zhang Xian thought for a moment, then turned around and asked Cao Jinya: "Old Cao, are there anyone in your group from around here?"

    Cao Jinya looked at Zhang Xian blankly, a little confused, and asked: "What kind of people are you referring to? Haha, most of our group came from Yunnan, but there are also a few Chinese young people recruited locally!"

    "That's good!" Zhang Xian nodded and said, "I want to know how your group's relationship is with the local people in Jiangkou?"

    "Very good!" Cao Jinya said with certainty: "Haha, to tell you the truth, in order for us to gain a foothold here, Mr. Gao has been encouraging our locals to get married. Haha, my wife is the daughter of an old chieftain here.  , but she is with me now, and we have a home in Mengsa! As for others, such as First Battalion Commander Niu Chun and Company Commander Cheng, they are all married to locals, and their family members are also in Mengsa!  "

    "That's good!" After listening to Cao Jinya's introduction, Zhang Xian smiled and said: "It turns out that everyone is the son-in-law here, haha, that would be great!"

    Cao Jinya still looked suspicious and asked Zhang Xian: "Shen Zuo, what do you mean?"

    Zhang Xian smiled and said: "I think since everyone is the son-in-law of the local people, the people here will definitely not want the Myanmar government troops to come and take over this place, so they should assist us!"

    "That's natural!" Cao Jinya said matter-of-factly.

    Zhang Xiandao: "Our troops are limited and it is impossible to cover everything, so at this time, we have to rely onHe turned around and saw that Zhang Xian had walked out of the observation post, and quickly followed him.

    "Brother, what's going on over there?" Xiong Sanwa couldn't help but ask, "They still don't seem ready to attack!"

    Zhang Xian shook his head, turned to look at him, and then reminded him: "Sanwa, didn't you notice the soldiers crossing the bridge?"

    Xiong Sanwa was stunned, nodded and said: "You see, they have been crossing the bridge! They have built three pontoon bridges on the river. Even if they can bring more people over, what's the use?  ? Or is it different that we stuck their heads?"

    Zhang Xian stopped and couldn't help but remind him: "Sanwa, you only saw people crossing the bridge. You can't take a closer look. Who are those people? Their military uniforms are obviously the same as those of the Myanmar government army."  It¡¯s different, and even the way they walk is different!¡±

    Xiong Sanwa thought about what she had just seen, and couldn't help but said: "Ah! You are right! Why didn't I notice it just now?"

    Zhang Xian was dumbfounded. Thinking about it, Xiong Sanwa is still Xiong Sanwa. I'm afraid he will never become Xiong Kaiping, and he will never be a general!

    "I think the battle we are about to face may be our toughest battle in the past few days!" Zhang Xian then told him: "This enemy force that just crossed the river should be their hired troops from India.  Come the British and Gurkha soldiers!"

    "Gurkh soldiers?" Xiong Sanwa didn't understand this title.

    Zhang Xian explained to him: "These people were originally a people living on the side of the Himalayas in Nepal. Because they were brave and warlike, they were recruited by the British to help them fight wars all over the world! They are also the bravest in the world.  Mercenaries.¡±

    "Oh!" Xiong Sanwa finally understood.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
