Fukatanakasa's withdrawal was effectively abandoning the main island of Bito, which even included the Domoto Line, which had been crossed by the Chinese army without many casualties.

The only thing Fukada Nakasa left for Domoto was to tell him that the current situation was very unfavorable for the Japanese army, and that the Chinese army had crossed the Domoto line and captured the Ono Line to join the American army, in other words, the Chinese army was already in the rear of the Domoto Line at this time.

Fukada Nakasa also gave Domoto an order...... The time has come to be loyal to the emperor, and you must fight until the last moment!

This made Domoto's spine swish, fighting until the last moment? All the defensive directions of the line are directed against the sea, and now the enemy is in their rear, how can this be fought ?!

After thinking about it, Don Ben said to the staff officer: "Order, all give up the bunker and build a defense in the direction of the Ono defense line!" ”

"Your Excellency Shaozuo......" Hearing this, the staff officer couldn't help but be stunned.

"Execute the order!" Domoto gritted his teeth and interrupted the staff officer's words, he knew that there was not much time left for him, and there was no room for hesitation now.

Of course, Domoto's decision was correct, because if he continued to defend like this, the Chinese troops would soon be killed, and Domoto would have to face the enemy again.

Domoto still had time to build fortifications, as the Chinese and American forces were still carefully identifying each other and clearing out the remnants of the enemy......

This is a simple job, China and the United States are only separated by a Japanese defense line, and the two armies are facing each other, and what is even more powerful is that the Japanese army is still hiding in fortifications or underground tunnels, so no one dares to guarantee whether the figure in front is their own man or the enemy.

Therefore, at this time, the Sino-US coalition forces were the most vulnerable, and if Fukada Nakasa ordered the Japanese army to counterattack at this time, I really don't know what the final situation would be.

The smoothest rendezvous with the expeditionary force was Wu Shimin's troops...... This should perhaps be said to be a kind of telepathy between Chinese or something, when the black shadow of the first Chinese soldier jumped into Wu Shimin's sight, Wu Shimin excitedly shouted: "It's our troops, our troops have come to save us!" ”

Then Wu Shimin and the others cheered, and of course, some people shouted to the opposite side: "Is it the brother of the New Seventh Army?" We are from the new 28th Division! ”

When the two armies successfully met, Wu Shimin and his party were so excited that they rushed forward and hugged the soldiers of the expeditionary force tightly, and kept saying:

"Thank you, brethren!"

"It's finally your wait!"

……

There were even many people who wept with emotion, wanting to say something but unable to say anything.

Fellow villagers don't know how to feel when they see this scene.

He fully understands the performance of Wu Shimin, and his fellow villagers also behaved similarly when they escaped death on the battlefield for the first time, in fact, everyone behaved similarly in this situation, and what they couldn't understand was just because they hadn't experienced it.

What made his fellow villagers sigh was that he still wanted to kill these scum from the military command, and even not long ago, he planned to pretend not to recognize them and pull them down if he encountered the new 28th division of this military command.

But now...... Fellow villagers can't do this at all.

At this time, the townspeople had a concern: if they were not killed, what would they do in the future? Will it hurt yourself by raising a tiger for trouble?!

Thinking of this, the villagers got in touch with Zhang Chi as soon as possible:

"The fox is in our hands!" The fellow villager said on the walkie-talkie: "They still have more than 300 people, ask for instructions!" ”

"Fox" is the code name of the new 28th Division.

Of course, Zhang Chi knew the meaning of the words of the fellow villagers, and the townsfolk meant that it was too late to start now.

After thinking about it, Zhang Chi ordered: "Let the fox return to the nest!" ”

"But the master seat ......"

"Execute the order!" Zhang Chi interrupted his fellow villagers.

"Yes!" The townsfolk responded, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, fellow villagers were also worried that Zhang Chi would give another order, although he knew that it was right.

Then came the confluence of teams of U.S. troops and Chinese troops.

Communication between the two armies was surprisingly smooth, partly because the Chinese Expeditionary Force itself had American advisers, and partly because the Chinese Expeditionary Force had been dealing with the U.S. military since Burma, and ordinary soldiers could speak a few half-baked words of Chinese-style English.

Moreover, the soldiers of the expeditionary force also have their own set of methods for remembering English, such as "gun", which means "dry" in English...... Guns are used to kill little Japan!

So the two armies quickly merged into one force and organized their defense at the first opportunity.

It was then that Colonel Shopp found his fellow countryman in the crowd, and he shook his hand and said, "Thank you, Lieutenant Colonel. You're really astonishing me...... It even makes me feel ashamed that you have accomplished with only a thousand men what we could not accomplish with five times our strength! ”

Because he had American advisers by his side, his fellow countrymen also understood Colonel Schop's words, and he replied: "We have not yet completed the task, the Japanese still have the strength to resist, and even the ability to annihilate us!" ”

"That's right!" Shopu nodded, "So...... How are you going to do that? ”

Xiao Pu's words seemed to be said casually, but in fact, he took the initiative to hand over the command to his fellow villagers.

The fellow countryman was not polite, and replied: "I think we should organize defense at this time, night fighting is not our strong point, and it is difficult for our naval guns and fighters to play a role." On the other hand, there is also the possibility of confusion in our troops, so I suggest that we should wait until dawn...... This way you will also be able to get plenty of rest to recuperate. ”

"I agree!"

"One more point!" The fellow townsman reminded: "Please Colonel be sure to tell your subordinates that you must not let the Japanese get involved, otherwise it will cause us a lot of trouble!" Our identification code tonight is ......"

As he spoke, the townsman handed Shopu a piece of cipher paper that had been prepared long ago, on which were written "Tarawa" and "Beato" in English.

Shope nodded, and quickly passed the code to his subordinates.

Therefore, the Sino-American coalition did not immediately attack his defense line as Domoto imagined.

If there was an attack, it was only the capture of the Japanese artillery bunkers.

These artillery pieces will pose a great threat to the Chinese and American coalition forces, especially when the Chinese and American coalition forces have to take advantage of the high tide at night to transport supplies and heavy equipment such as tanks and artillery to Beato Island by Higgins ships.

It was obvious that once the heavy equipment was brought to the island, it would be much easier to attack the Japanese firepower points.
