Chapter 26: Purgatory

"Report! The vanguard of the assault team has advanced to the vicinity of the road through Wusong. ”

"Got it, order to build fortifications on the spot to prevent enemy air attacks, and be sure to hold out until tomorrow night."

When they received the news, everyone in the headquarters of the 88th Division finally breathed a sigh of relief. The task of the commandos was to hold out for two days, and the dry rations and ammunition they brought were only enough for two days. The assault team had broken through the defensive lines before, and although the losses were heavy, the existing forces should be able to hold out until sunset tomorrow.

As the commander of this "Iron Fist Operation", Zhang Baiting has such self-confidence, after all, the assault is composed of the elite of the ace 88th Division, carrying the best semi-automatic weapons.

"It's good that I didn't listen to the words of the man named Ye Lei, and when he comes back, I will definitely punish him for the crime of disturbing the morale of the army."

Zhang Baiting was full of confidence, but Sun Yuanliang on the side was not relaxed, because there were still two unstable factors. First, Zhu Chi's 264 Brigade attacked unfavorably; Second, there are many bungalows in the area of Wusong Road, which is not conducive to air defense.

At the headquarters of the Japanese Marine Corps, Hasegawa sat quietly in his seat. Although there was no movement, it could be seen from his expression that he was uneasy in his heart. Now the defenders of the headquarters are fighting one less and one less, and the troops who came to reinforce Lushun can only arrive at night, so it can be said that their own safety is in danger.

The only thing that made Hasegawa happy was that the 500-strong Marines had just arrived at Huishan Wharf, which could temporarily relieve his urgent needs.

"Your Excellency, as long as everything is fine after today, everything will be fine."

Sato sat on the sofa next to him and carefully poured himself a cup of green tea, his tolerance just wanted to reflect his aristocratic connotation.

Hasegawa said, "I don't like your expression, you know?" Because you're always an expression, I hate it. Sato-kun, don't you feel tired of pretending like this? ”

"I'm a nobleman, and I've had to look like a nobleman." Sato took a sip of the teacup and said with a smile, "But I'm really tired." ”

Hasegawa really wanted to see Sato's different expression, so he said: "Most of the expatriates in the concession area have left and returned to China, and your sister Mitsumi and your unmarried snow son are still in the concession, aren't you worried?" ”

Mitsuhiko Sato didn't speak for a long time holding the teacup, he didn't expect a commando team to come in. They are the most important people to them, so they are worried.

Hasegawa leaked a smug smile and asked pretendedly, "Sato-kun, what's wrong with you, isn't the tea delicious?" If I'm guessing correctly, they should be in the church near Wusong Road, and Guangmei is a Christian after all. ”

Sato put the teacup on the table, made a thud, and said, "They're going to be fine!" The enemy himself is not able to protect himself, how can he attack the church and not be afraid of causing international disputes? ”

"It's hard to say, the church is near the enemy defense zone. Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case. ”

Hasegawa let out a smug smile again, and he finally saw Sato's different expression. If two flower-like women fall into the hands of the enemy, the consequences can be imagined. Especially her sister, that is Sato's death hole.

At this moment, a soldier walked in and reported: "Report! Reconnoiters from the front reported that more than 300 enemy troops had entered the vicinity of Wusong Road and were being deployed. ”

Without waiting for Hasegawa to get up, Sato stood up, and the Yue Dai ordered: "Inform the air force and the fleet on the Whampoa River to bomb that area, and a mouse can live!" Ordered Huijiang Wharf to send two squadrons to act as originally planned. The other party only has 300 remnants, and it has been subjected to a fierce air attack, and it can't be eliminated even when the other party has more troops, so let's call this group of people stupid and apologize! ”

"Hey!"

The devil soldier nodded vigorously and turned to leave. Hasegawa still has a smug expression, it seems that he really cares about his sister and beautiful fiancΓ©e.

The assault team reached the area designated in the plan and immediately built fortifications, the main direction of defense was the Huishan pier to the east.

"Move fast! Fast! ”

Liu Hongshen personally went to the front line to arrange fortifications. Inverted triangular sandbag forts were placed on both sides of the main streets, machine guns were placed above the roofs, cross-fire pairs were completely covered, and a certain number of troops were placed in various buildings to flank and defend the surface. Finally, the troops were ordered to dig artillery holes in the soft soil, and the troops were ordered to disperse in large areas.

"Brother Liu!" Jiang Ruxue ran to Liu Hongshen with several nurses, took a breath and said, "The wounded have all been transferred back." ”

"Why did you get back?"

"There are still nearly four hundred brothers here, and we must come back. That ......" Jiang Ruxue hesitated and asked, "Ye Lei, they should be fine, right?" ”

"I don't know. After this kid lost his memory, his whole person changed. It's strange and powerful. ”

"Then he'll be fine, right?"

Ye Lei is already a hero in the hearts of many people, and Jiang Ruxue admires heroes very much, and now she has an incorrigible love for Ye Lei.

"Probably so." Liu Hongshen looked at the east and continued: "I didn't believe it before, he could actually take two people to attack the devil team, but this time I believed it." You know how strong the quality of the devil's individual soldier is, the eight devils actually asked him to kill him alone in one minute, which is simply possessed by the god of war. ”

Thinking back to the events of the morning, Liu Hongshen still had palpitations and sighed: "If I can go back alive, I must find him for a drink." But like snow, we are soldiers, regardless of men and women, and do what we have to do. ”

It is true that there is no distinction between men and women, only enemies and one's own people. Liu Hongshen ordered Jiang Ruxue's medical team to evacuate to a safe area to the south and find a wide compound to treat the wounded.

Liu Hongshen was well-intentioned, and the other two medical teams were nearby, and only moved Jiang Ruxue away from the position to a safe area to the south.

Less than ten minutes passed.

"Buzz~Buzz~Buzz~"

The sky began to hum, and the nasty motor clattered the warriors to realize that the devil's plane was coming.

"Disperse! Take cover! Fast! Fast! Fast! ”

Liu Hongshen never expected that the devil's plane would come so quickly, which was completely beyond his expectations.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! β€β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Twenty-four enemy planes formed two formations and launched wanton and indiscriminate bombardment of the ground, with flames soaring into the sky, gunpowder smoke filling the air, and obscuring the sky and the sun, and the entire position soon became a sea of fire.

There were explosions everywhere, heat waves everywhere, and it was as if the commandos were in purgatory. Some of the warriors were blown out of the fortifications, some were blown straight from the rooftops to the ground, their flesh blurred and wailing in the flames.

"Da Da Da" "Da Da Da" "Da Da Da" "......"

At this time, dense gunfire rang out on the rooftops and on the side of the street, and dozens of fires shot straight into the sky. The living commandos braved the artillery fire to launch a counterattack against the enemy plane, and although they could not cause direct damage to the enemy plane, they would not let the enemy plane be unscrupulous.

"Shoot!"

In a corner, Liu Hongshen led a team to squat down and shoot at 45 degrees in the air. No matter how fierce the artillery fire was, no matter how flesh and blood of the comrades around them were blown up, they did not move at all. In their fiery eyes, there was nothing but the enemy in the air.

The commandos are equipped with semi-automatic firepower, and the firepower is beyond the imagination of the enemy. The enemy planes could only hover at high altitudes, did not dare to dive and shoot, and after a round of bombardment, they returned to sea with their tails between their legs.

After the enemy aircraft flew away, the commando nightmare was not over. Gunboats on the Huangpu River continued their shelling. The assault of the three hundred people was no longer able to resist, so they could only continue to suffer in purgatory.

At the same time as the assault team was under heavy bombardment, the reinforcements of Huishan Matou soon set off. They divided their troops into two routes, one to the west to attack the assault team directly, and the other to the southwest, detouring to the rear of the assault team to attack.

The reinforcements moved on a rapid march in order not to leave the commandos without respite. But they never imagined that there were fifteen people waiting for them in front of them.

On the east side of Wusong Road, a team of thirty devils stepped in a hurry, followed by one or two armored vehicles. The armored car was followed by a long procession, numbering more than a hundred people.

This reinforcement team was not wary, feeling that the public concession area was already their territory, and the enemy in the distance was being devastated by their own artillery fire, who would have thought that disaster would soon befall them.

Speed, time, distance, and troops, Ye Lei hid at the commanding heights to observe the situation below, and calculated and mentioned four factors. Only by accurately calculating and effectively combining these four factors can the first attack deal maximum damage to the enemy.

"Five, four, three, two, one."

Ye Lei began to count down, and when he counted to one, he only heard "Bang!" There was a rush sound, and the blocking battle started in this rush.
