At 4 a.m., the fighting in Zhabei continued.

At this time, the Japanese troops in the defense area of the 54th regiment had advanced to two kilometers. The news of the elimination of the headquarters of the 54th Regiment spread quickly, and the morale of the devils was greatly boosted. The commander of the devil in front brandished his katana and continued to march with his own soldiers.

The devils sang "triumphant songs" all the way ahead, and the follow-up troops quickly occupied various intersections to consolidate the fruits of their victory. Fearing that they would be attacked by the enemy's flanks, the devils sent troops to expand to the left and right flanks and continued to expand the results of the battle. Within a radius of two or three kilometers, the number of troops invested by the devils reached more than 500 people.

Ye Lei led his troops to fight and retreat, and every time the enemy occupied a junction or fortification, he had to pay a heavy price. Especially the quasi-special combat team led by Li Hu, they have become invisible assassins in the night, and devils have become live targets for their training snipes.

At a right-wing street intersection, fierce fighting continued.

"Hit!"

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

Bullets rained down on the fortifications, pouring out in rows and rows towards the front. The devils on the opposite side were not ambiguous, they were like chicken blood, and under the cover of stinky and shameless artillery fire, they launched a crazy attack.

"Your aunt's ~ devil has eaten gunpowder, so I can't wait to run to death!"

Behind the fortifications, although the commander of the first company said so, the devils did not rush straight without their lives, but used the houses on both sides of the road as rock masses to cross cover and attack step by step. Some devils even climbed on rooftops, or covered frontal troops behind the ruins,

There are not many high-rise buildings in Zhabei area, and there are many tiled houses on the ground floor. In this blockade, the company did not set fire points on the roofs on both sides, because the devil could throw a grenade at will. However, the devil seems to have learned to be obedient, and he is not dispatching tanks, but attacking in a decent manner.

The commander of the first company had been observing the attack distance of the devils, and when the devils attacked thirty places from the intersection, they suddenly shouted: "Pull! ”

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

There was another chain explosion in front of the road, and the attacking devils were completely drowned in the flames.

Ye Lei has been observing the battle situation in front of him from a high place in the rear, and it is his turn to prepare for the second and third companies after the first consecutive battle, and it is the turn of the third company to prepare for the second company after the second company. Use wheel warfare to destroy the devil's vital force and consume the enemy's offensive edge.

Seeing the sky-high firelight, Ye Lei put down the binoculars and said, "The devil just doesn't learn to be obedient, and he's deflated again." ”

Von Schmelin, who was on the side, asked, "How deep did you bury the grenade?" ”

Ye Lei said: "Half a meter." The wires connected in the middle are all hollow, and the soil on the wires is very soft. ”

Feng Shimerlin smiled after hearing this: "It takes a long time for the devil to look for him, and he has to dig up the wire when he finds it." In the process, he was killed a long time ago. ”

Ye Lei once said that to lure the enemy into depth, you have to eliminate two or three hundred devils, and this time he did it.

In the first stage of the "day tactics", the 54th Regiment's frontal defense was handed over to the 2nd Battalion, and the 2nd Battalion completed the first phase of the plan.

Ye Lei looked at the time, and when it was less than a day before dawn, he said, "The first company is almost over, it's time for us to prepare for the third company." ”

Each time the attack was not very violent, and the big explosion caused huge casualties to the enemy, the purpose was to destroy the enemy's living forces and create conditions for the third decisive "sharing of food". And after the explosion, the defending troops generally take the opportunity to evacuate and save their vital forces.

In the Japanese command, the devil officers did not know that disaster was about to befall and were full of illusions about victory.

Hasegawa Kiyoshi swore and said: "The headquarters of the 54th Regiment was wiped out by our warriors, and although the forward attack was not lost, the attack was very smooth. As soon as the morning dawns, the aviation will be dispatched, and the middle and flanks will attack at the same time to flank the main force of the 88th Division! ”

Mitsuhiko Sato, who was present, didn't speak, he always felt that something was wrong, the attack was a little too smooth, and the other party was Ye Lei. However, the huge offensive losses also dispelled Sato's doubts a little.

Hasegawa Kiyoshi saw Sato's calm face, so he encouraged: "Sato-kun, you made this plan, and if it succeeds, you will greatly credit." As long as Zhabei falls into our hands, the war in Shanghai will be over. When the time comes, you will not only be the first samurai in Japan, but also the first hero! Sato-kun, cheer up! ”

Sato relieved himself and replied casually: "Oh~"

Hasegawa felt lost and thought that Sato would pretend to be forced, but he didn't expect to reply to himself, feeling a hot face hit a cold ass.

The dawn appeared, and the rising sun once again awakened the earth. Without waiting for the devils to wake up from the illusion of victory, the 1st Battalion of the 54th Main Force launched an attack from the south.

At this time, the Japanese forces were extremely scattered, most of the troops were still attacking in the front, and the defense of the troops deployed in the middle was extremely weak.

"Kill!" "Kill!" “……”

An earth-shattering killing cry rang out from the south. The morale of the officers and men of the first battalion was high, and they had been hiding in the south of Zhabei for a night, and now the momentum broke out.

The defense of the devils in the middle and rear was extremely weak, and the first battalion with high morale was unstoppable and invincible, and the devils on the defense had been completely overwhelmed by this torrent before they could react.

The officers and men of the first battalion, under the command of the battalion commander Yang Ruifu, slashed horizontally from the middle like a big knife, cutting the enemy by seven inches!

The vanguard fought all the way to the main road with lightning speed.

After the battle, Yang Ruifu immediately made a deployment, and the success of the "sky tactics" was the key.

Yang Ruifu ordered: A company to hold this point, and arrange fire points on both sides of the road, and the rear heavy firepower to assist in the defense, and drive the tanks captured by Ye Lei over to increase the defense;

Ordered the third company to continue to attack northward, completing the horizontal cut. After completion, as a company reserve;

The second company was ordered to attack westward, attacking the enemy entering Zhabei from behind, and flanking the front and rear with the second battalion, cutting the main road vertically.

The "day tactic" is to cut according to the zigzag of the main road, dividing the enemy into two areas within the range of entry.

The 1st Battalion and the 2nd Company quickly moved westward and joined forces with the 2nd Battalion to open up the main streets of the defense area.

When the second company came to the first big intersection ahead, the devils seemed to be on guard, and they reacted quickly and were ready for battle. There were as many as two squads of troops assembled, but they did not arrange fire points on both sides in time, because they could not have imagined that there would be an enemy attack in the rear.

"Stop moving! Take cover! ”

The commander of the second company waved his hand, and the soldiers scattered from both sides and hid behind buildings or ruins.

"Dadada" "......"

The second company had reached the offensive distance, and the devils in front began to shoot wildly in this direction. Rows of bullets shot straight from the middle of the street, and although they were attacked from behind, the devil could only turn the head of the gun. As for Ye Lei's second battalion, it was still two kilometers away, and the effect of the flanking attack before and after the street battle was very limited.

"Company commander, why don't you fight?"

A soldier innocently asked the second company commander behind the ruins, and bullets whizzed past him.

The second company commander looked at the time and said, "Damn, we came earlier than scheduled, I don't want to be a ghost." ”

"How can it be a ghost who died unjustly? Kill the enemy and serve the country, company commander! ”

"Ghost, if you are beaten to death by your own people, you will be wronged." After speaking, Er shouted loudly: "Continue to hide!" ”

No matter how the devils fought and bombed, the vanguard of the second company just didn't fight back, and hid behind the rock mass.

The commander of the second company kept watching the time, and after five minutes, he suddenly shouted: "Listen to my orders, prepare to charge!" ”

The second company commander looked at the devils in the fortifications ahead, even he couldn't believe what was about to happen, and he kept counting the numbers silently in his heart.

10, 9, 8......, 1

"Boom!" "Boom!" “……”

There was a sudden explosion of the fortifications ahead, the power far exceeded the power of grenades and artillery shells, and the entire intersection was set on fire and almost leveled. And the more than 30 devils inside didn't know what was going on, and they had already become unjustly killed.

In an instant, a huge wave of heat gushed out from the intersection in all directions, and the soldiers of the second company closed their eyes and hid behind cover, waiting for the heat wave to pass.

"Rush!" “……”

After the heat wave passed, the second company quickly launched a charge and easily occupied the position.

"What a man of God!"

After the second company commander occupied, he could only let out a sigh, and the soldier just now asked innocently again: "What's the matter?" How did the devil explode on his own? ”

The second company commander still had palpitations, and pointed to the underground and said: "There is a timed explosive below, and our god of war can blow it up whenever he wants." ”

After speaking, the commander of the second company arranged his troops to hold the intersection and continued the attack with other troops.

There are timed explosives underneath every junction occupied by devils. If one is violated, the first battalion and the second battalion will occupy one. Without waiting for the devil command to react, the main road in the middle of the 54th regiment's defense area had been opened, and the second stage of the "day tactics" "cutting" was successfully completed.
