"Boom Boom" "Boom Boom" "......"

All the artillery units of the 88th Division launched a fierce artillery bombardment on both flanks of the Japanese army, and for a time the mountains were cracked and the jade was burned, and it seemed that the artillery fire was about to swallow up the entire Zhabei area.

"Retreat! Thorough! ”

“……”

At this critical juncture, the shouts of retreat continued to sound from the second-line positions in the middle road, and the departments received orders from the division headquarters to evacuate quickly, and Sun Yuanliang wanted to exchange space for the lives of his soldiers, which was a kind of benevolence of the commander on the battlefield to his subordinates.

"Brother, we have finally received the order to retreat."

In the midst of the artillery fire, a veteran said to his dead comrades with tears in his eyes. Most of these dead comrades were recruits and were not yet over 20 years old. The war in Songhu was tight, and these recruits were all urgently recruited, and they were not given time to train and adapt to the battlefield at all.

After the second-line troops of the 88th Division withdrew from their positions, the Japanese made a very serious mistake that they should not have attacked under artillery bombardment. Although this can cause large casualties to the enemy, it can also cause losses on your own side. And now that the other side has withdrawn, the attacking devils have to accept the devastation of their own artillery fire.

At the command of the Japanese army, Sato is now riding a tiger. First, the 88th Division shelled the left and right flanks, and the combat intention was very obvious, the enemy wanted to counterattack, and finally hit the main force of the middle road on three sides; Second, the second-line troops of the 88th Division of the Middle Route were withdrawn, and their own precious shells were slaughtering their own soldiers. In addition, once the left and right flanks are broken, the main force in the middle will go deep into the third line of defense, and it will be difficult for the main force to withdraw at that time.

Suddenly, a sense of crisis enveloped the Japanese military headquarters, and Sato seemed to see Ye Lei's shadow. One thought of heaven and one thought of hell, and one wrong decision can be fatal.

"Your Excellency Sato ~ What should we do now? Our troops have already entered the range of their shelling! ”

"Your Excellency Sato......"

The adjutant on the side kept reminding him that the situation was extremely unfavorable to him now. The 88th Division's shelling on both flanks would launch a counterattack as soon as it stopped, while their own front-line soldiers were still fighting under artillery fire.

"Ordered to stop the shelling and attack the opponent's center with all its might; Order the left and right flanks to hold their positions to the death, and not to evacuate without an order, and to fight to the last man! ”

At the last moment, Sato made a decision, he still had to make a desperate attempt to attack Zhabei. The battle has reached this point, and there is no way out for both sides.

After the order was issued, the Japanese artillery bombardment in the middle stopped, and the main forces of the devils began to attack the defenders in the third direction with all their might. Sato knew that once they broke through that line, victory would be theirs. Now both sides are in a race against time, the Japanese are the first to attack, and the artillery fire on both flanks continues.

"Report! The devils have stopped shelling and are gathering forces to launch a fierce attack on the middle lane! ”

"Got it. It seems that the devil is going to get out, and now no one has a way out, and we can only get out! ”

A herald passed the battle report to Ye Lei's ears, Ye Lei looked at the time after speaking, and there were still ten minutes before the end of the shelling. So, he ordered: "Send a telegram to the command, stop the shelling, and support the remaining shells in the middle!" ”

"Yes!"

The herald quickly conveyed Ye Lei's meaning to the division headquarters, and it didn't take long. The shelling on both flanks ceased, and again a dense artillery fire rang out from the center. The divisional artillery battalion received the order to turn its guns and bombard the devils attacking in the middle with all its might, resulting in countless casualties on the other side.

The battlefield is changing rapidly, and the test is the commander's on-the-spot adaptability, and it is unknown who will die in the end.

"Doodoo" "......"

"Brothers, the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, rush with me!"

"Kill~"

"Kill~"

“……”

Ye Lei gave the order for a counterattack in advance, and the sound of killing on the right flank suddenly shook the sky, and the sound of the charge resounded everywhere. After the shelling on both flanks stopped, Ye Lei immediately ordered various troops to launch a counteroffensive. The reserve battalion was already ready to go, and after hearing the sound of the trumpet, its morale was greatly boosted for a while, and it rushed out of the streets and alleys to launch a major counterattack.

In the initial stage of the counteroffensive, the attacking troops are in full swing! First, the attacking side waited for work at ease, and morale was high; Second, the Japanese positions had just been destroyed by artillery fire and could not react for a while. Under the favorable factors, the attacking force's attack was interrupted smoothly, but the devil's defensive ability could not be underestimated, and the progress of the attack began to slow down.

However, the strength of the two reserve battalions on the left and right exceeded Mitsuhiko Sato's expectations, and he never expected that the 88th Division would have such spare strength. Despite this, Sato held on to his hopes of victory, and his confidence came from his own defensive ability. Although the 88th Division attacked quickly, as long as it took the lead in breaking through the opponent's last line of defense, and then combined the defensive forces on the left and right flanks to attack, Zhabei would finally be the Japanese army.

The two sides engaged in a fierce offensive and defensive battle, and the decisive thing was to see whose spear was sharper. Immediately, Sato issued three orders again: first, request full support from the Air Force; Second, once again order the defending troops to be held to the last man; Three, attack the middle at all costs.

The decisive battle in Zhabei reached its climax, and both sides exerted all their strength to attack and defend, and whoever broke the opponent's "shield" first would have the last laugh.

88 Division Command. No one could have expected the battle to turn out like this, and everyone present had an anxious look on their faces. At this moment, Sun Yuanliang, as the supreme commander, must be calm, and both sides invested all their troops on the card, but Sun Yuanliang knew in his heart that he still had a trump card useless, which was the last killer weapon.

Zhang Baiting was a little impatient, maybe the victory or defeat was in a moment, once the Japanese army broke through the last line of defense, the trump card would be invalidated.

"Master, isn't it time to go out?"

"There's no hurry." Sun Yuanliang waved his hand, although it was the final climax, this climax had just begun. This game of chess was played by Ye Lei, so he should play that trump card.

Zhang Paiting was still very worried, feeling that Sun Yuanliang had been infected by Ye Lei and had become a war gambler. The Japanese army has already invested all its forces, as long as it plays that trump card, its own side has already won, but ...... Zhang Baiting was afraid that the gains would outweigh the losses, and the gains would be pre-defeated.

Du Yuesheng on the side didn't speak, because he didn't know how to say it, and then Du Yuesheng realized that he was just the boss of the Green Gang, and he was a layman compared to these generals. Although the Einsatzgruppen made a great contribution and made great sacrifices in this decisive battle, the protagonist was still the 88th Division.

Sun Yuanliang closed his eyes and breathed a long sigh of relief, and ordered: "Order the 527 Regiment to die to defend me, tell them to persevere, and then persevere, persistence is victory!" ”

Now that the Japanese army still has troops, it is not yet the time to make the trump card in hand. When it comes to the most critical moment, once the attack is fatal to the Japanese army, the Japanese army remaining in Zhabei will be wiped out!
