    Zhang Xian led more than 400 people from the 279th Regiment, followed Yuan Shaohua along the path in the jungle, and finally walked quietly into Mengbu Town before noon. Before entering the town, you could hear  The sound of gunfire coming from the mountain pass to the north clearly indicated that a battle was taking place there.

    Mengbu Town is located in a mountain basin, surrounded by mountains. There is a Mengbu River flowing diagonally from southeast to northwest, and finally flows into Sal in Wantab Village, ten miles northwest of the basin.  Wenjiang; This basin is like a spindle, narrow at the north and south ends and wide in the middle; the length and width between the north and south are about six kilometers, and the widest part in the east-west direction is only about one kilometer, and the narrowest part is less than 500 meters.  , in fact, this so-called basin is just a ravine.

    Precisely because this is a ravine, it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. As long as the several mountain passes that strangle the exit of the ravine are blocked, the enemy will not be able to enter.

    Zhang Xian and his people came from the south. When they arrived at the south entrance of the basin, they were questioned by the sentry. The sentry was hidden in the mountains and forests, and it was difficult to find it if you didn't pay special attention.  However, Yuan Shaohua has already been here once, so he knows their password for today.  When they learned that their reinforcements had arrived, the sentries jumped down from their posts excitedly and greeted Zhang Xian and Niu Chun.  Niu Chun knew the squad leader of this checkpoint, and the squad leader also recognized Niu Chunlai and volunteered to take them into Mengbu Town.

    If there hadn't been the sound of gunfire from the north, walking in this mountain basin, although it was the midwinter season in the north, it would be full of life. There were green rice fields on both sides of the road, and anyone would feel that this place was  It should be a paradise.

    The sound of gunfire in the north has become sparse, as if the battle has ended.

    "Those enemies are going to eat. The battle should be over this morning!" The squad leader surnamed Liu told Zhang Xian.

    Zhang Xian was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed hoarsely. These Burmese soldiers fought just like going to work. They started fighting at the right time and withdrew their troops at the right time. It was very regular. No wonder Gao Wei could use so few troops.  I have been holding on to Mengbu for so many days.

    When he arrived at the headquarters of the 93rd Division at the foot of the mountain outside the town, Gao Wei had already heard about the arrival of reinforcements and personally came out to welcome him. When he saw Zhang Xian, he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.  , jumped up and hugged him tightly, as if they were reunited after a long absence. In fact, they had already met before the war.

    "Haha, brother Xian, you know how much I look forward to your arrival!" Gao Wei said from the bottom of his heart. After experiencing the enemy's repeated hardships every day, it would be weird for him not to expect reinforcements to come!

    "I know you are in a tight situation, so didn't you come here overnight?" Zhang Xian was also very excited.

    "I have heard from Staff Yuan that you fought very well at Laniushan and Jiangkou!" Gao Wei admired Zhang Xian very much, and at the same time told him about his own situation: "It is too difficult for us to fight here.  There is a division of the Burmese government army and more than 3,000 Indian mercenaries outside. There are more than 10,000 troops in total. They blocked all the intersections to our north. However, they were not able to break in. I held two key passes.  , that is a terrain where one man is at a standstill and no one can break it! If we fight like this, we can¡¯t support it. We have almost used up all the ammunition. If we can¡¯t repel the enemy, they can wear us to death!¡±

    Zhang Xian nodded. Gao Wei's difficulties were also expected by him. He immediately said to him: "Since we are already here, let's quickly study the strategy to retreat from the enemy!"

    "Well!" Gao Wei nodded, but then looked behind Zhang Xian and asked with some confusion: "Brother Xian, I heard from Staff Yuan that you have more than two thousand people? Why did you bring so many people with you?"  How come there are so few people here?"

    Zhang Xiandao: "I only brought the 279th Regiment in. Your brothers strongly requested to return! Haha, the other troops are hidden on the outside. I didn't bring them in because I was afraid that the enemy in front of me would know that our reinforcements were coming.  Will be prepared!"

    Gao Wei nodded, thought for a moment, and asked Zhang Xian with a smile: "Brother Xian, with your arrangement like this, do you think you already have a strategy to retreat from the enemy?"

    Zhang Xian also smiled and said with confidence: "I just have a little idea!"

    "Oh?" Gao Wei immediately became interested and asked, "What do you think?"

    Zhang Xian waved his hand and said to him: "This idea is not mature yet, I still want to see your suggestions! Well, this is not the place to talk. Do you have an observation post here where I can take a look at the enemy's situation?"

    "Of course!"He smiled and nodded, and then said to him: "Although this river is not big, the water flow is constant. We can block it with earth at the narrowest place, fill it up with water in one night, and then  If we release the water in the early morning, our tents can be destroyed in no time. Haha, this is much easier than us going to charge!"

    Zhang Xian's eyes lit up, just looking at the children and women coming in and out of the enemy's camp, he couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted, and couldn't help saying: "This is a good idea, but it's just pitiful to these women and children. When the time comes,  There will definitely be a lot of casualties!¡±

    "Haha, Brother Xian has the heart of a Bodhisattva!" Gao Wei said, half applauding, half mockingly: "But if the enemy breaks through our stronghold, will they pity our women and children?"

    Zhang Xian was silent. War is like this. Either you die or I live. You can't win a war by being soft-hearted. When necessary, you still have to harden your heart.

    Yuan Shaohua on the side said with some suspicion: "Deputy Commander Gao, the flooding can only reach part of the enemy. It is impossible for the enemy to withdraw because of this loss!"

    Gao Wei nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, you are right, so I have something else later!"

    "What else?" Zhang Xian couldn't help but ask.

    Gao Wei said: "We will definitely not win in a head-on confrontation with the enemy, so we have to do what Brother Xian said, conduct a surprise attack with them, go around behind them, raid Wantab Village, cut off their retreat, and at the same time also  Make them lose their command, and then some people will attack their front from behind and others from Mengbu Town, attacking from both sides at night, haha, it's no wonder they are undefeated!"

    "What a great idea!" After listening to Gao Wei's words, Zhang Xian started to praise him. Just when Gao Wei told him that Wantapu Village was the enemy's headquarters, he was already thinking about whether to raid there!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
