"Huh?" He Wenxi lost his voice and said, "Four divisions? ”

He Wenxi knew very well that a division of the Japanese army often had eight wings, including four infantry wings, under its command, with a total strength of more than 25,000 troops.

For example, the Fifth Division is a typical Division A regiment.

Even three-unit garrison divisions like the 22nd Division, the 15th Division, and the 17th Division often have a total strength of more than 20,000 troops!

In other words, the Japanese army attacking Yinjiang will have more than 80,000 troops!

This is almost more than seven times the defenders of Yinjiang, because Yinjiang only has more than 10,000 people left in the second detachment at this time!

The only thing that can make He Wenxi feel a little at ease is that there is a strong chain of fortifications built in advance on the periphery of the Yinjiang River, so even if the devils have an advantage in troops, they still have a dozen.

At that moment, He Wenxi said: "Fortunately, we have built a strong chain of fortifications. ”

"Fortifications are not absolutely safe either!" Zhong Yi shook his head and said in a deep voice, "There is absolutely no problem with Zhaobaoshan Fortress and Jinji Mountain Fortress, but the fortification chain built relying on Zhaobaoshan and Jinji Mountain Fortress is mainly to defend against attacks from the north and southeast directions, and the defense capability from the west is insufficient. ”

He Wenxi's face turned pale when he heard this, because what Zhong Yi said was the truth.

Due to the limitation of resources, Yinjiang also has a focus when building a chain of fortifications.

In a word, the focus of the Yinjiang defense was on the sea attack from the north and southeast directions, and the defense against the land attack from the west was slightly insufficient.

But now, there is a good chance that the little devil will choose to attack Yinjiang from the west.

This hit the soft underbelly of Yinjiang and made the situation even more severe.

Zhong Yi continued: "Director He, in fact, this is not the worst. ”

"Huh? Isn't that the worst? He Wenxi said, "What's the worst?" ”

"The worst thing is that our anti-aircraft fire is seriously insufficient." Zhong Yi said solemnly, "Although we purchased 500 anti-aircraft machine guns from the Soviet Union, these 500 anti-aircraft machine guns are slightly insufficient to protect the industrial area, so there is no extra machine gun to protect the defensive position in Yinxi." ”

Speaking of this, Zhong Yi continued: "In other words, the defensive positions of Yinxi will be unprotected under the noses of the Japanese air force, and the Japanese army aviation and even the naval aviation can carry out indiscriminate bombardment of the defensive positions in Yinxi without any scruples, and with the current strength of the fortifications in Yinxi, I am afraid that it will not last too long." ”

Hearing this, He Wenxi couldn't help but gasp, if this is the case, the situation is much more severe than he expected, can Yinjiang still hold on?

Zhong Yi said: "Fortunately, I am not unprepared. ”

He Wenxi's heart moved, and he asked softly, "Counselor, what have you prepared?" ”

Zhong Yi smiled and said, "Keep it secret for the time being, but you'll know soon." ”

After a pause, Zhong Yi said to He Wenxi again: "However, I may have to rush back to Yinjiang in advance with the special operations team, Director He, the troops will be handed over to you." ”

"Huh? Do you want to go back to Yinjiang in advance? He Wenxi couldn't help but panic.

Because Zhong Yiruo is gone, the task left to He Wenxi is not only to bring the coastal defense corps back to Yinjiang, but there is still a tough battle in the middle, that is, to break through the resistance of the devils on the Xinsheng battlefield as soon as possible.

This means that the next battle of Xinsheng will be completed by him independently.

Zhong Yi patted He Wenxi on the shoulder and said, "I believe you can do it!" ”

After speaking, Zhong Yi turned around and left.

……

Shanghai, Pudong.

As early as seven years ago, just before the end of the 128th Shanghai Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese Navy built an oil depot near the airstrip in Pudong.

At that time, the reason why the Japanese Navy wanted to build this oil depot was because during the 128 Shanghai War of Resistance, the Japanese Navy's combat planes were often constrained by the lack of fuel and could not take to the skies.

But before the oil warehouse was repaired, the 128th Shanghai Anti-Japanese War ended.

Later, this oil depot was also shelved, and then, more than two years ago, after the outbreak of the Battle of Shanghai on August 13, the Japanese Navy began to build this oil depot in order to support the Shanghai Army, and repaired it in a very short time.

After that, it was precisely because of the support of this large oil depot that the air force of the Japanese Navy and the air force of the Central China Front were able to carry out large-scale wanton and indiscriminate bombing of Nanjing, Wuhan, and even Chongqing without any worries.

It is no exaggeration to say that this large oil warehouse in Pudong made great contributions to the Japanese army's war of aggression against China.

At this moment, Fang Jianwei, the head of the Second District of Shanghai under the military command, was lying in the bamboo forest opposite the Japanese army's oil warehouse, holding a telescope to observe.

Although this devil's oil depot is heavily guarded, it has not been discovered because Fang Jianwei and them are thousands of meters away, and Fang Jianwei and them are extremely well hidden.

After a long time, Fang Jianwei put down the binoculars, and his eyes showed a gloomy color.

Yan Ling, who was lying next to him, asked in a low voice, "District Chief, have you found anything?" ”

Fang Jianwei said: "The little devil has just brought a large amount of fuel, and now the aviation fuel stored in the warehouse has reached tens of thousands of tons!" ”

After a slight pause, Fang Jianwei said again: "Shanghai seems to have become a very important overseas aviation fuel supply base for the Japanese Navy!" ”

Yan Ling said in a deep voice: "District Chief, I'll blow it up!" ”

"Don't mess around." Fang Jianwei hurriedly said, "The little devil's oil depot is no better than the headquarters of the devil's thirteenth army, although the thirteenth army headquarters is also heavily guarded, but after all, there are many people, and there is a complex sewer system for you to use, but in this oil depot in Pudong, there are no such conditions for you to use." ”

"That's going to blow it up too." Yan Ling said, "Otherwise, the devil's plane will be able to carry out endless bombing of Yinjiang, and Yinjiang will definitely be lost at that time." ”

"Fried, of course it must be fried." Fang Jianwei said, "But you can't mess around." ”

Yan Ling's heart moved, and he asked in a deep voice, "District Chief, do you already have a plan?" ”

"Plan?" Fang Jianwei smiled when he heard this, and said, "As early as half a month ago, I was already planning, and this meeting is almost ready." ”

Yan Ling was stunned and said, "District Chief, you mean the Dunhuang Project?" ”

"That's right." Fang Jianwei said in a deep voice, "The Dunhuang plan is prepared for the oil depot!" ”

Speaking of this, Fang Jianwei sneaked back into the bamboo forest again, and only when he was sure that it was safe did he stand up again, and said to Yan Ling, who was following him: "Let's go, let's go back!" ”
