The Japanese army captured Baoshan, opened up the connection between Zhang Huabang, Wusong, and Shishilin, and consolidated the beachhead. The 3rd Division continued to attack Luodian under the cover of gunboats, and the main force attacked Yuepu on the right flank of the 15th Army with all its might.

The 18th Army and the 74th Army fell into a bitter battle in Luodian, unable to take care of Yuepu, and the 98th Division fell into a lonely battle. The Japanese army quickly merged the Asama detachment, which suffered heavy casualties, into the Tiangu detachment and launched a fierce offensive against Yuepu to open up the connection between Wusong and Luodian.

The two sides fought hard until the 11th, Major General Lu Jingrong, chief of staff of the 98th Division, was martyred, and Major Li Qiyuan, deputy commander of the 583rd Regiment, and Jiang Wencai, commander of the first battalion, were killed successively. After a round of bloody battles, the positions of the 583rd Regiment were lost.

On September 11, the Japanese army concentrated its forces to launch a general attack on Yuepu, and artillery shells fell overwhelmingly on Yuepu Town, a sea of fire inside and outside the town, and all the peripheral fortifications were destroyed, and the Japanese vanguard took the opportunity to break through the position. The defenders of the 98th Division retreated into the town and engaged in street battles with the Japanese army, and the two sides fought repeatedly in hand-to-hand combat, and the battle was extremely tragic.

The 1st Battalion of the 79th Regiment of the 14th Division quickly went to reinforcements, and the defenders recaptured Yuepo. However, the 1st and 78th Divisions, which defended the Zhangjiacun and Wujia defense lines in Yuepu, suffered heavy casualties under the blows of the enemy's gunboats, and the four brigades of the two divisions supported Yuepu in four times, but they were all repulsed by the Japanese concentrated forces one by one, and the 1st and 78th Divisions retreated to the south of Yanghang.

Under the rapid turn of the battle, in the middle of the night of the 11th, after 6 days and 6 nights of bloody battles for the defenders, Yuepu and Yangxing were lost.

Baoshan and Yuepu fell one after another, and Luodian had no need to fight. The 15th Group suffered heavy casualties and retreated to the south of Luodian one by one, and pre-built positions on the front line of the Liuhe River.

The 87th and 36th Divisions of the 9th Army were transferred to the preset positions on the line on the right bank of Onzahama. Complete the second half of the second phase of the battle plan of the third theater: when each breakthrough cannot be achieved, it will retreat out of the range of enemy ships and put up stubborn resistance. Wait for the rear troops to arrive, and then the decisive battle will be carried out and the final victory will be won.

So far, the national army has invested 9 divisions and fought a bloody battle for 20 days, and finally ended in failure after the Japanese army captured Baoshan, Yuepu and Luodian. From then on, the landing Japanese troops occupied a 50-kilometer stretch of land along the river with a depth of 50 kilometers from east to south and 20 kilometers from east to west. It controlled all areas of the Yangtze River Estuary and the Huangpu River Estuary, and opened up contact with the Japanese troops guarding Yangshupu and Hongkou in the urban areas, and the Japanese army units were connected in a line.

At this time, China and Japan were in a situation of confrontation, and the real climax of the decisive battle had just begun.

Zhabei, 88th Division Headquarters, Sixing Warehouse, Combat Conference Room.

All the officers at or above the regimental level attended the meeting, and Ye Lei was also called to participate in this combat meeting.

A lieutenant colonel officer used the battle map on the wall to explain the above battle situation in detail, and the battle entered the defensive holding stage.

After the introduction, the lieutenant colonel continued: "The Japanese army incorporated the 9th, 13th, and 101st divisions of the North China Front into the East China Dispatch Army, as well as the 14,000 Shigeto detachment from the direction of Taiwan, so the total strength of the Japanese Marine Corps in the third theater reached 200,000. ”

After hearing this, the officers present began to talk about 200,000 enemy troops, five and a half divisions, more than a dozen brigades of marines, three aircraft carriers, 140 warships, 500 aircraft, and 400 tanks, each of which was an astonishing number.

Sun Yuanliang sat in the middle and sneered: "What, I'm scared." Go on! ”

The lieutenant colonel continued: "Hu Zongnan's First Army departed from Gansu, Liao Lei's 21st Army departed from Guangxi, and Yang Sen's 20th Army departed from Sichuan and now have arrived, and the troops from various provinces will also rush to the Songhu battlefield one after another, and it is expected that our total strength will reach 70 divisions. The next main battlefields will be the Liuhe defense line and Liuhang defense line south of Luodian on the left flank, as well as Wenzaobang, Dachang, and Zhabei on the middle road. ”

After finishing speaking, Sun Yuanliang said: "This is a decisive battle between China and Japan!" Shaanxi, Hunan, Guizhou, Jiangxi, Guangxi, Sichuan, Zhejiang, and so on will continue to send troops to the front-line battlefields, which is unprecedented. Japan wants to destroy China in three months, daydreaming! ”

After Sun Yuanliang finished speaking, he stood up and said, "The task of our 88th Division is to defend Zhabei and prevent the enemy from taking a step beyond the thunder pool!" Even if the last person dies in battle, he will be nailed to Zhabei like a nail! ”

All the officers on both sides of the conference table stood up together and said loudly: "Swear to defend Zhabei to the death, and not let the enemy cross the thunder pool!" ”

After the combat meeting, Sun Yuanliang left Ye Lei behind, and then sat in a row of the conference table to face him. Ye Lei is a genius in tactics, and he is more like Sun Yuanliang's staff officer, so Ye Lei was left alone.

Sun Yuanliang asked, "What do you think of the battle situation after that?" ”

Ye Lei said: "Sir, I am a small company commander, not a commander. ”

After going through so much, Ye Lei began to change slowly. After crossing over, he suddenly experienced a cruel war that made Ye Lei cold, but he didn't want to become the cold war machine in Du Xiaoman's mouth, so Ye Lei slowly matured, turned back into himself, and became a more powerful soldier.

Sun Yuanliang smiled, "It's just casual talk, talking on paper, aren't I also a small division commander?" ”

Ye Lei got up and looked at the map, picked up the baton, anyway, it didn't matter if no one else was showing off, so he boldly said: "The Japanese army now has enough troops, and they will continue to attack the 15th Group Army and the 19th Army Corps of the Liuhe defense line to the west." The 15th Group fought bloody battles for days and had little combat effectiveness, but the 19th Group Army was fully organized, and the commander was Xue Yue, and the Japanese army would be deflated, and then it would change the direction of attack to attack Liu Xing and Wen Zaobang. ”

Wenzaobang, Dachang, and Zhabei belong to the defense area of the Ninth Army on the middle road, and Wenzaobang is now defended by the 74th Army, the 87th Division, and the Tax Regiment, and there will be an unprecedented bloody battle there. But Sun Yuanliang was concerned about Zhabei, the Japanese army Hongkou, Yangshupu, and Baoshan had been connected into a line, and the Japanese army in Hongkou had reached as many as 20,000, but he only had one division.

So, Sun Yuanliang said: "Ye Lei, let's talk about Zhabei." ”

Ye Lei understood what Sun Yuanliang meant, and he didn't know anything about strategy, but Sun Yuanliang had something to look forward to tactics, Ye Lei said: "Zhabei is different from Baoshan, Liuhe, and Wenzaobang, it belongs to the urban area, and it is very beneficial for us to have a large number of buildings." I'm still the same sentence, play to the strengths and avoid the weaknesses. ”

"What do you mean, do you want to use your Skynet tactics?"

"Skynet tactics are weak, the enemy's sufficient forces are not suitable, and the only suitable thing is urban guerrilla warfare. The two regiments of our 262nd Brigade are responsible for the right flank of Zhabei, and what I personally mean is that our 524th Regiment will meet it head-on, and the 523rd Regiment will fight guerrillas to assist in defending our regiment. ”

"523 regiment?"

"Yes, the 523rd regiment is very suitable for guerrillas."

From the "Ten-Day Siege" to the present, Ye Lei has read all the battle reports of the 88th Division, and conducted a detailed study of the combat style of each unit, the 524th Regiment is good at attacking fortified positions, and the 523rd Regiment is flexible and suitable for guerrillas.

Ye Lei didn't know that Wu Qiujian, the commander of the 523 Regiment, was a well-known guerrilla warfare expert in the national army, and was later highly praised by Premier Zhou as a "double sword" general. One sword is Wu Qiujian, and the other sword is Marshal Ye Jianying.

The Japanese army has a strong air force and ground artillery superiority, and the Battle of Baoshan is a good lesson, and fighting hard with the Japanese army will suffer a big loss. After listening to Ye Lei's suggestion, the 88th Division began to carry out precise deployment for urban guerrilla warfare.

Ye Lei returned to his station.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”“……”

The soldiers of the third company are training the training ground. The decisive battle was imminent, Ye Lei looked at the young faces, maybe he had died before he even remembered what they looked like. War is so cruel that it will always be accompanied by the theme of "death", but it is the mission of soldiers to defend the national territory, defend national sovereignty, and safeguard national dignity.
