At the headquarters of the 88th Division, battle reports from the front kept coming. The first battalion of the 527th Regiment, the 523rd Regiment, and the three battalions of the 216th Regiment of the 36th Division formed a joint encirclement of Sanyili. However, before the encirclement, the Japanese troops in Sanyili received an order from the headquarters to defend against the attack of the peripheral troops from three directions, and the attacking troops were blocked.

"Is there any news of the triple?"

"Report, no. There is news from the front, and the battle is very fierce in the area from Sanyili to Hongkou. ”

Sun Yuanliang is still very worried about Ye Lei's situation, the battle is so upside down, it can be seen that the battle situation is tragic.

Zhang Baiting said: "Now we can only trust Ye Lei. ”

Sun Yuanliang immediately ordered: "Order the 523rd Regiment to recover Sanyili before dawn." ”

At the Japanese naval headquarters in Hongkou, Sato was summoned back to the headquarters by Hasegawa Kiyokyu and explained the battle situation in Sanyi-ri.

After hearing this, Sato concluded: "Bi must be Ye Lei who blocked the reinforcements." In this dark situation, we can't figure out the situation around us, and we will suffer a lot in the face of Ye Lei's elusive play. Moreover, with Ye Lei's ability, there is no problem at all to block until dawn. ”

Hasegawa Kiyoshi asked with some anticipation, "Sato-kun, do you have a good solution?" ”

Sato said: "Sanyili is surrounded on three sides, reinforcements are blocked, and we are generalized. However, there is a silver lining. ”

Hasegawa hurriedly asked, "What is Sato-kun's plan?" ”

Sato smiled, and then told Hasegawa Kiyoshi about his plan.

After listening to Sato's plan, Hasegawa Kiyoshi nodded and said, "Yo Xi~ It seems that this is the only way to do it."

The most important thing for a commander is to be calm, and since he has failed, he must admit defeat. What can be done is to minimize the loss and then use this failure to fight back, this is Sato's plan.

The battle ahead was still fierce, and Ye Lei took advantage of the night and the surrounding environment to block the reinforcements. However, while inflicting casualties on the enemy, there were casualties on his own side. Now it's not as easy as before, and the enemy has taken precautions.

"Brothers, hold on!"

"Da Da Da". ………”

In the area ahead, fires were shining everywhere in the darkness. Cheng Zifeng took the third company and used the fortifications built by the sappers to fight back with all his might.

Now Ye Lei can only try his best to defend it, and he will never retreat if he can, because retreating is the defense area in Sanyi, which will directly affect the entire battle situation. And now there are more and more wounded, which affects the mobility of the troops.

Ye Lei immediately made a decision and ordered: "Order the engineer platoon to transfer all the wounded to a nearby village." Ling Shaokun, you take a squad to protect those wounded. ”

"I don't go, whoever likes to go."

"It's an order!"

Ling Shaokun said: "I am in charge of blasting, and the wounded can be handed over to Chen Guobang, he is originally Langzhong." ”。

Indeed, in some aspects, Ye Lei couldn't do without Ling Shaokun, so he decided to let him stay, and Chen Guobang was in charge of the wounded.

"Report! The second round of the devil's attack has been repulsed. ”

"Got it. Ordered the third company to enter the next line of defense in one round of persistence. ”

"Yes."

As Sato said, the reinforcements were very unaccustomed to Ye Lei's elusive style of play, and they often took them by surprise in the dark, and there was strong fire support from the guard platoon, which caused great casualties to the attacking troops. Due to scruples, the devil's attack became very weak.

Ye Lei sits in the middle of the command and coordinates the actions between various troops. He personally took care of the transfer of the wounded, the arrangement of fortifications, the placement of explosive points, and the allocation of firepower.

After half an hour, Cheng Zifeng withdrew with the third company and quickly entered the fortifications built by the sappers in advance.

Cheng Zifeng was covered with dust, came to Ye Lei with a submachine gun in his hand, and said: "Actually, we can still fight a round, the devil seems to be scared by our tactics, and he is not in a hurry to attack at all." ”

Ye Lei said: "Three rounds are enough." Three rounds is enough for the devil to figure out my firepower, and our hole cards have been used up, and I will suffer a lot in the fight. ”

Ye Lei's face changed suddenly, and he asked, "What did you just say?" ”

Cheng Zifeng said: "I said we can play a round. ”

"The latter sentence."

"The ghost is not in a hurry to attack, the attack is weak, and the troops invested are very small."

Ye Lei looked back at the direction of Sanyili, the entire Sanyili was shrouded in artillery fire, illuminating the dark sky, Ye Lei had an ominous premonition, Sanyili was so important, but the devil was not in a hurry to rescue.

At this time, more than half of the casualties of the third company and the guard platoon had to protect more than 50 wounded while fighting. There is only one reason, to keep your combat power and prepare for the next plan.

At this time, the rumbling of artillery was heard from the southwest. The artillery fire was fierce, and the light of the fire could be seen in the distance. It is clear that Sato launched a night attack on Zhabei's right flank.

Cheng Zifeng on the side also saw it and said, "While we were attacking Sanyili, the devils began to attack the position of our second battalion." Do you want to surround Wei to save Zhao? ”

Ye Lei said: "It's not that simple. The devil is not in a hurry to rescue, which is very abnormal. Do they want to give up the Three Righteousness? ”

As soon as Ye Lei finished speaking, the eastern sky buzzed, and 24 Type 96 fighters flew overhead and flew towards Sanyili.

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

At this moment, the devil reinforcements touched a mine and exploded.

"Hit!"

"Dadada" "......"

The soldiers in the fortifications immediately counterattacked in the direction of the fire, and the scorching flames continued to spread forward.

This time the devils attacked and launched a fierce attack with all the grenadiers and heavy firepower of the troops, which were so weak as before.

In Ye Lei's eyes, this is another abnormal attack. And the plane just now, night is not suitable for air raids.

The blocking force was suppressed by the powerful firepower of the devil reinforcements. In Sanyi in the west, the fire in the north and south areas was extremely violent. The target of the enemy aircraft was a battalion and troops of the 36 division.

"!"

Ye Lei thought that the devils in Sanyi wanted to break through, and then attacked himself with frontal reinforcements. But this is only their own prediction, if not, their own unauthorized withdrawal will cause great casualties to the first battalion and friendly forces.

Ye Lei is in a dilemma, if the enemy breaks through and is flanked by an enemy ten times his size, in the end the whole army will be annihilated, and the only way is to withdraw now. But......

"Herald!"

"Here!"

In this extremely urgent situation, Ye Lei ordered: "Order the engineer platoon to deploy on the south side of the western road, and immediately block the devil if he finds it!" The medical team and the logistics team were ordered to transfer the wounded to the village to the south. ”

"Yes!"

Ye Lei found Li Hu and Ling Shaokun again, and asked them to each bring a squad to be ready to cover the withdrawal of the troops at any time.

Ye Lei only hoped that his judgment was wrong, and he was sure to block the reinforcements in front, but if he was attacked from front and back, he could only evacuate.

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

As a result, Ye Lei's worries still came true, and the devils in Sanyi successfully broke through from the middle of the two battalions with the help of the plane to take cover. Now it is killing violently towards the three-company position.

"Throw!"

"Brush" "......"

In the east and west directions, the soldiers in the fortifications threw smoke bombs one after another, and suddenly the entire area was filled with smoke.

"Retreat!"

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

After Ye Lei and the guards broke off, Cheng Zifeng quickly evacuated south with the third company and the engineer platoon.

However, the devil's real combat intention is not to break through Sanyili, but to eliminate Ye Lei. Sato gave a death order to all the troops, Ye Lei must be killed, and the value of one Ye Lei is more than the value of Sanyili. And he took advantage of the opportunity of the main force of the 88th Division in Sanyili to lead the troops to take advantage of the weakness and attack the right flank of Zhabei with all his might.
