At the mouth of an alley full of ruins, the bodies of more than a dozen devils lay on the ruins, and Ye Lei and several special combat team members stood on the ruins, covered in blood.

The battle was still raging, with the battle on the right flank being the most severe. There was no fighting in the central defensive line, and in the morning the Japanese only stormed the left and right flanks, and continued to consolidate the occupied area.

Sato's tactics were already evident, playing the wings from a "V" to a "one" shape, removing the threat to the middle, and once the middle lane was breached, they would also declare their victory. Therefore, the afternoon is the decisive battle, and the main battlefield is in the middle.

As soon as the battle here ended, Li Hu walked up to Ye Lei and said, "Cheng Zifeng, they fought very hard, the pikes lost more than half of them, and the preparations were also pulled up. Captain...... Is it ...... the battalion in the rear?"

Ye Lei's eyes were still firm, and now the situation was in his own hands, so he replied: "That battalion can't move, order it to go down, let the other teams of the special team also pull up, and you must guard me until noon." Also, tell everyone that by noon everything will be fine. ”

"Yes!"

Li Hu saluted and turned to leave.

Ye Lei was in charge of this area, and Li Hong was in charge of the southern area of the highway, using alleys and buildings to engage in street battles with devils, who were unable to move forward in these two areas and suffered heavy casualties, but the middle zone of the wide road was difficult to defend. The devil also saw this, so the main force attacked the middle position with all its might, and effectively gave full play to the superior combat power of its own side.

Ye Lei is fighting a war of attrition, consuming the enemy's living force and creating conditions for the final victory. After this battle, almost half of the more than 6,000 people involved in the Einsatzgruppen team were lost, and Ye Lei's own three companies may also be lost, but it was all worth it. As long as the victory is won, the battle in Zhabei will also be over, and the Japanese army in Hongkou will not be able to launch further attacks.

The two sides fought until noon, and in just one morning, both sides paid a very heavy price. Especially on the right wing where Ye Lei is located, in the middle area, the corpses of soldiers on both sides are densely packed all over the streets and alleys, and the blood is pooled into a small canal. The Einsatzgruppen and the Third Company paid a very heavy price, blocking several rounds of crazy attacks from the devils with their lives.

The battle was temporarily stopped, and Ye Lei took Li Hu to the middle after arranging the defense on both wings.

Cheng Zifeng's eyes were full of dust, and his head and arms were holding gauze. The white gauze was smoked gray by the gunsmoke, and the commander had many wounds to show the fierceness of the battle.

"Although these people have little combat experience, they are very tenacious, and they are all iron-clad men. Ye Lei, we can hold on any longer! ”

Cheng Zifeng affirmed the battle of the Einsatzgruppen and their sacrifice. If it weren't for the sacrifice of the Einsatzgruppen, the devils would have achieved their purpose in the morning.

Ye Lei didn't know what words to say, so he just patted Cheng Zifeng and said, "As long as you persist in the afternoon, everyone can retire and get honor." ”

The entire battle situation was already in Ye Lei's hands, and a huge sky net was slowly spreading towards the invaders. When Ye Lei watched the logistics personnel collect the corpses on the battlefield, his heart was greatly touched. In the morning battle, nearly 1,000 people were killed by the Einsatzgruppen, no matter who they were before, as long as they picked up their guns against the invaders, they were all heroes and should be remembered by history.

Immediately, Ye Lei ordered the rear troops of the Einsatzgruppen to continue to reinforce and supplement the defensive forces in this area, and Cheng Zifeng continued to be in charge, while he went to the division headquarters to resume his life.

At the headquarters of the Sixing Warehouse Division, Sun Yuanliang had nothing to say about what Ye Li had done. At least he held the right flank line, inflicting huge casualties on the enemy and creating the conditions for the final victory.

After reporting on the battle ahead, Ye Lei saluted Du Yuesheng and said, "I'm sorry to let your Einsatzgruppen suffer such a big loss, but all the sacrifices are for the final victory." ”

"I understand." Du Yuesheng let out a long sigh of relief and said, "We are all Chinese, and it is our glory to be able to sacrifice for the country!" ”

Ye Lei turned around and said to the division commander Sun Yuanliang: "We only give the Japanese army one day, if the Japanese army can't capture Zhabei today, they will lose." Division commander, the Japanese have already occupied two-thirds of the area on both flanks, and they will continue to attack both flanks in the afternoon, but the intensity will not be very large, the purpose is to pin down. The main attack of the Japanese army will inevitably be in the middle, and it will be earth-shattering! ”

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is "earth-shattering", and the Japanese army will inevitably attack the center with all their might. That was the last line of defense in Zhabei, and the only way to break through was to win. And the battle in the morning, Sato, although did not achieve the desired effect, had enough conditions to attack the middle lane. Because the "V" shaped defensive formation spreads out to both sides, it cannot pose a threat to the center.

Chief of Staff Zhang Baiting said: "We know, so we have ordered to go down and invest a lot of combat power in the middle road, including heavy firepower." ”

"Hmm" Sun Yuanliang nodded and said, "Put in the last strength, as long as you hold on until the evening victory, it will belong to us." ”

Ye Lei hesitated and said: "I have a new plan, although it is risky, but it is fatal to the Japanese army. ”

Ye Lei has always been a war gambler in the eyes of Chief of Staff Zhang Baiting, and every tactic is very risky. But the more adventurous the tactic, the greater the effect.

Sun Yuanliang said: "You come and listen." ”

Ye Lei walked to the command table, pointed to the map and said, "Disperse the heavy firepower of the whole division on both wings." The main forces in the center had to hold out for three rounds, dragging down the main forces of the Japanese army and inflicting casualties on the opposing side. Then, the two flanks used heavy firepower to carry out covering bombing of the Japanese troops, creating conditions for the counteroffensive of the troops on both flanks. If the Japanese army in the middle is restricted, we can create a three-point encirclement situation. That's why I don't want to use the reserve battalion even if the casualties of the Einsatzgruppen are heavy in the morning. ”

This plan is extremely risky, and Ye Lei wants to destroy the entire Zhabei. The middle lane troops lost heavy fire cover, and they may not hold on to the three rounds. At this time, the ammunition of the 88th Division was not sufficient. According to Ye's plan, the ammunition reserves of the 88th Division must be exhausted.

There was silence in the command headquarters, and this tactic was extremely risky. The Japanese were not fools, and they must have strengthened their fortifications on both flanks in order to ensure the safety of the attack of the troops in the center.

Recalling the "ten-day siege" at the beginning of the Battle of Songhu, the three ace divisions could not capture Hongkou when their strength was several times that of the enemy, and this time the two sides were equal in strength, and this tactic did carry great risks.

After a while, Sun Yuanliang asked, "Ye Lei, I know that you are a thoughtful person, and you will not easily say tactics that you are not sure of. Especially at this existential juncture, let's talk about your reasons first. ”

Ye Lei said: "First, this time is different from the ten-day siege, Zhabei is our territory, and the enemy has just occupied it and has no time to build effective fortifications; Second, our forces are superior, with the support of heavy firepower, light firepower is not inferior to the opponent, and the advantage lies in our side; Thirdly, the enemy has entered the depth of our side and has opened a long distance from the rear, and our side has an absolute advantage in logistics support; Fourth, after several days of fierce fighting, the enemy's vanguard showed fatigue, which can be said to be the end of the strong crossbow, and our reserve troops did not participate in the battle, once the Japanese front line defense was broken, the enemy was defeated like a mountain; Fifth, the Japanese are focused on the center, and we are the defenders, so the enemy may not have thought that we would suddenly make a big counterattack, so as to achieve the effect of surprise. ”

As he spoke, Ye Lei took his eyes off the map and said: "Our purpose in this operation is not only to hold Zhabei, but also to destroy a large number of enemies, so as to completely solve the crisis in Zhabei and solve the worries of hundreds of thousands of main forces in front!" ”

Ye Lei's analysis finally moved Sun Yuanliang and decided to implement his plan. Sun Yuanliang thought one more layer than Ye Lei, even if the middle road was broken, the Sixing Warehouse was a huge fortress, and it would not be easy for the Japanese army to capture the Sixing Warehouse. However, in this case, Zhabei will also cease to exist. Take a hundred plating and read the latest chapter of "Anti-Japanese God-level Soldier King Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
