Chapter 80: Breach of Huishan Wharf
After 300 meters of diving, there was not much camouflage left on Ye Lei's face, and he saw that his face was red, and his eyes were bloodshot, as if he had been burned. He led the assault team to the south of Huishan Wharf, an open field full of miscellaneous items.
The front was still red, and the supplies in the two warehouses were burned. However, Ye Lei can no longer lead the commando team to attack.
The devils have blocked all the passages, Ye Lei doesn't know anything about the situation at Huishan Wharf, and the devils can't be familiar with this place, and if they fight one or the other, it will be extremely unfavorable to their side. The geographical advantage, the person and the other side have the absolute upper hand, and the result of the battle can only be defeat.
"What do we do now?"
The other team members were in charge of guarding, and Li Hu moved to Ye Lei's side and asked. Ke Yelei was observing the battle situation in front of him, with a worried expression.
Previously, Ye Lei asked Hu Jiaji to dig close to the enemy 80 meters, but now it is close to 70 meters, and the engineer platoon is still digging. If you dig it down, it's the range of the enemy grenade.
Although the soil attack was inspired by "Bright Sword", Li Yunlong dug the tunnel to a position thirty meters away from the enemy's position, and even the girls could throw grenades at the enemy's position, couldn't the devil throw the grenade into the tunnel? Therefore, the purpose of digging tunnels is to shorten the attack distance, and there is no other use.
After Ye Lei finished observing, he said, "Stand by, wait for the opportunity." ”
The battle ahead was still fierce, and the sappers continued to dig tunnels. At the exit, the 216th Regiment had already set up machine guns and fired at the warehouse in front of the opponent, with the purpose of covering the sappers.
The cannon roared, the enemy ships continued to bombard, and the area between Huishan Pier and Fair Road had become a scorched earth.
At this time, a squad of soldiers braved the artillery fire to come behind the wall, each holding two balls in his hand.
A squad leader ran to Hu Jiaji and reported: "Report to the group seat, the things have been delivered, and the man said that the only way to do this is to light the lead and throw it out." ”
"Prepare to attack!"
Hu Jiaji's order has just ended.
"Tutu Tutu" "......"
The devils in front suddenly increased their firepower, and countless bullets fired at the five gaps, killing several machine gunners on the spot. The artillery in front was thundering, and the devil grenadier group launched an intensive artillery bombardment of the tunnel.
"Boom Boom" "......"
The inside of the wall was filled with fire and smoke.
The 216th regiment was completely suppressed by enemy fire.
At this time, more than twenty devils ran out of it and threw grenades into the pit with all their might.
"Boom Boom" "......"
There was a horizontal fire, and more than a dozen sappers were blown out of the tunnel, falling to the ground, bloody and dying.
Hu Jiaji looked at it with a heartache, but the arrow was out of the string and there was no reason to turn back.
After the shelling, Hu Jiaji ordered his troops to quickly enter the pit and prepare for a general attack.
A company of soldiers entered the tunnel in an orderly manner, and then moved forward quickly.
"Throw!"
Before the troops had fully entered, the soldiers who had already reached the front tunnel threw out the smoke bombs made by Ling Shaokun.
The ball was thrown twenty meters away, rolled nearly ten meters, and black smoke rose more than forty meters from the enemy's warehouse position.
Black smoke continued to emerge from the small hole of the ball, slowly diffuse, and then slowly rise, forming a huge wall of smoke that completely obscured the enemy's view.
The 216th Regiment had not yet entered the front tunnel, when five trucks suddenly drove from the south, and then stopped directly in the tunnel and the devil's position, completely blocking the fire of the devil's bunker.
Smoke and trucks blocking the fire, this is a once-in-a-lifetime fighter plane, and this fighter plane is fleeting.
Hu Jiaji shouted loudly: "Order the troops, attack with all your might!" ”
"Doodoo" "Doodoo" "......"
The trumpet of the charge sounded from behind, and the soldiers, not caring about anything, rushed out of the tunnels and launched a fierce attack on the positions in front of the devils.
"Da Da Da" "Da Da Da" "Da Da Da" "......"
"Kill~" "Kill~" "......"
The firepower of both sides reached its peak, and the battle reached its climax. The soldiers of the 216th Regiment braved the rain of bullets and bullets, and the shouts of killing swept towards the enemy like a tsunami.
The smoke and trucks completely disrupted the devil's position, and at this time, the soldiers of the 216th Regiment had already rushed out of the smoke, and Hu Jiaji personally led the team to kill them.
"Boom!" "Boom!" “……”
"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”“……”
The entire Huishan Wharf was in a scuffle, and there were gunshots and explosions everywhere. From the Huangpu River, it looks like a huge black dragon soaring into the sky.
The morale of the 216th regiment was high and they fought hard against the remaining devils. After half an hour of fierce fighting, the 216th Regiment completely occupied Huishan Wharf, and the price paid by the 216th Regiment was also very heavy. (The entire battle of the 216th Regiment sacrificed more than 500 people, and the Japanese army suffered more than 400.) )
"Ye Lei! Ye Lei! ”
The battle was over, and the soldiers began to clean up the battlefield, but Hu Jiaji could never find Ye Lei.
A soldier ran up to Hu Jiaji and reported: "Report! A large number of men of the 88th Division were found south of the pier. ”
"What!?"
Hu Jiaji immediately led people to the south of the wharf and found that more than 100 officers and men of the 88th Division were carrying a large amount of military supplies, and then moved them to the car one by one.
This is a blatant act of robbery while the fire is burning. Hu Jiaji led people over and found Ye Lei leaning on the front of the car, as if waiting for him to come.
Hu Jiaji asked, "Ye Lei, who are you?" ”
At this time, Ye Lei's body was already as hot as fire, and the three wounds on his body had been completely infected because of long-term immersion in water.
Ye Lei pointed to the materials on the other side and said: "There is a large amount of explosives there, and the last order given to me by General Zhang Zhizhong is to blow up all the materials at Huishan Wharf as soon as possible after occupying Huishan Wharf." These supplies are going to be blown up anyway, so I'll take one first. ”
"You~You~......"
Hu Jiaji had nothing to say, the 216th Regiment had died so many people, but the 88th Division had taken a big advantage, and he was unhappy. However, if there was no Ye Lei, the attack would not have gone so smoothly, and he would have killed more soldiers, and it would have been impossible to occupy Huishan Wharf three hours earlier than the scheduled time.
Ye Lei knew that Hu Jiaji was conflicted, so he said: "Okay, the 216th regiment executes the order of the supreme commander." I'll give half of these supplies to the 36th Division. ”
Hu Jiaji ordered loudly: "Pass the order, arrange explosives, and blow up this dock for me immediately!" ”
"Yes!"
The heralds immediately went to convey Hu Jiaji's order to completely destroy the best wharf in Shanghai.
"Sir! Sir! ”
Hu Jiaji turned around and left without taking a few steps, when someone suddenly shouted behind him. So he turned around and found Ye Lei unconscious in the front of the car.
"What's going on!?"
Hu Jiaji immediately rushed over. Li Hu uncovered Ye Lei's clothes and found that blood was flowing from the wound on his chest, and the edges of the wound were blistered white.
Due to the continuous fighting, Ye Lei was exhausted to the extreme, coupled with the infection of three wounds, as well as the laxity after the battle, he passed out.
Li Hu found that there was blood oozing from Ye Lei's body when he was in shallow water before, and he was very worried at the time, but he didn't expect it to be so serious and let such a powerful man fall. After the "Iron Fist" plan, Ye Lei was busy forming special forces and didn't have much rest at all.
Hu Jiaji immediately ordered: "Send to the hospital immediately!" Anyone can be fine, but he can't be okay! ”
"Report! The division headquarters called. ”
When Hu Jiaji saw this telegram, even he almost fainted. The telegram was sent from the division headquarters, but the order was issued by the Ninth Army, ordering the 216th Regiment to withdraw from the Huishan Pier.
Hu Jiaji returned to command the troops to evacuate and arrange the blowing up of the Huishan wharf.
Gu Xinwei, the commander of the third battalion, was heartbroken when he learned about it, and only half of his battalion was left, and he said excitedly: "Tuanza, you can't withdraw!" Died so many brothers in bloody battles all the way, not in vain! ”
Hu Jiaji was also unwilling, and said helplessly: "The military order is like a mountain!" The speed of the two divisions of the Japanese army exceeded our expectations, and they had already landed at Wusongkou in the north, and 36 had to rush reinforcements to block the enemy. ”
"Ahh Yes! Yes! ”
Gu Xinwei yelled three times, and wanted to take out a gun to commit suicide in grief, but was quickly stopped by the soldiers on the side.
The Japanese army had already landed at Wusongkou and Xiaochuansha, and then immediately attacked Baoshan and Luodian, directly threatening the left flank of the Ninth Army. Zhang Zhizhong immediately sent troops to block the attack and waited for Luo Zhuoying's reinforcements.
"Boom Boom" "Boom Boom" "......"
After the 216th Regiment withdrew, a huge explosion occurred at Huishan Wharf, and the flames immediately soared into the sky. In this sky-high fire, the 36th Division withdrew, which also heralded the end of the ten-day siege of the national army.
The first stage of the Battle of Songhu: a ten-day siege; The second stage is called "Blood and Fire Purgatory"!
