Zhu Shaoliang agreed with Ye Lei's battle plan, expressed his full cooperation, and reported this plan to the Nanjing Military Commission, asking whether he could ask the air force to cooperate.

"Use our precious air force as bait to attract the Japanese army's ground firepower, and this Ye Lei came up with it."

The Central Military Commission immediately reported it to the chairman of the Military Commission, and Chairman Chiang was incredulous when he learned about it.

At this time, the Chinese Air Force was left with little left, and the Navy was almost completely annihilated, so at this critical juncture, in the absence of special or major military operations, the Air Force would generally not be dispatched.

"Ma'am."

"Darling, what's wrong?"

At this time, Song Meiling walked into the room and saw the chairman wearing a gray coat, holding a cane in both hands, sitting on the sofa with a dilemma.

The adjutant on the side said: "Ye Lei plans to attack the 'Izumo', and General Zhu Shaoliang, commander of the Central Army, asks the Air Force for assistance. ”

"Air Force assistance?"

"Yes. It is to use our air force to attract the attention of the other party and cover Ye Lei to complete the underwater operation. The 88th Division's special combat plan was to dive and use mines to blow up 'Izumo' and their frigates. ”

Song Meiling seemed to think of something. The "Izumo" was now anchored on the Huangpu River, while the main Japanese force was attacking Chen Cheng's left flank army at this time. The battle line had advanced to depth and was out of range of gunboats on the Yangtze River. But now Ye Lei ......

Song Meiling said: "In a few days, the Japanese army will change the direction of its main attack and go south to attack the Central Army in Wenzaobang, which is what Ye Lei told me. Once the Japanese army moves south, the gunboats on the Huangpu River will exert their might, and our soldiers will suffer countless casualties. I think Ye Lei thought of this, so he locked on the Izumo, after all, it was the flagship of the Japanese Third Fleet. ’”

The chairman said: "Madam, this is just Ye Lei's unilateral prediction. We have failed many times in our attacks on Izumo, and I am afraid that this time the warship was not blown up, and as a result, we lost our few planes. I trust Ye Lei's ability, but only on land. In the water, once discovered, everyone, including Ye Lei, will definitely die. ”

The chairman of the committee did not hold out any hope for this operation, because the underwater attack was too unbelievable. While he felt sorry for the plane, he also felt sorry for Ye Lei's life. Now Ye Lei has been erected as a god of war by the media, and if he dies, it will be a great blow to the people's anti-Japanese morale.

Rina, an Australian consultant on one side, said: "I've met Ye Lei, and he's an incredible man. I always had the feeling that he was like a prophet in the Bible. I had been following this man at that dinner, and his eyes were full of affirmation as if he was not a prediction of the future of the battle. So, I believe he can do miracles. ”

Song Meiling said: "He predicted that the Japanese army would move south to Wenzaobang, and he also predicted that we could only hold out until the end of October on the Songhu battlefield. There is a sentence that I have never said, Ye Lei asked me to tell you, don't pin your hopes on the European and American powers. In the 300-kilometer stretch from Shanghai to Nanjing, we have invested heavily in building defense fortifications, and we should have deployed our troops there as soon as possible. ”

Rainer continued: "The Japanese fleet is a great threat in the Songhu battlefield, and if the Songhu battle is lost, the Japanese army will use warships to advance west along the Yangtze River, which will directly threaten Nanjing. Chairman, as long as the flagships of the opposing side are blown up, any risks and sacrifices are worth it. If you meet Ye Lei, you won't have the hesitation you have now. ”

"Hehe" The chairman laughed after hearing this, and joked: "Are you two conspiring well?" If I have the opportunity, I also want to meet Ye Lei in person. ”

Song Meiling and Rena successfully dispelled the chairman's concerns, and decided to send the air force to cooperate with the operation and blow up the "Izumo" at all costs.

In Zhabei, Ye Lei led the team to train every day and night. The equipment and materials he asked for from the headquarters were quickly delivered, in addition to diving equipment and a few mines, and then Ye Lei personally conducted targeted training for the team members.

Ordinary soldiers have one meal and one dish per meal, and they have a ration of one pound and four pounds a day, except for special combat personnel, who have no restrictions. Under high-intensity training, the physical exertion is enormous. Whether it's eating or training, the players are working hard, and they only get six hours of sleep a day.

Ye Lei is a bit of a desperate bet. Although he didn't know much about the details of the Battle of Songhu, he more or less knew that Wen Yubang was about to become a sea of blood. It was an unprecedented catastrophe where hundreds of thousands of Nationalist soldiers would die, and part of the cause of this disaster was the Japanese gunboats.

The training of the team members in Suzhou Creek is extremely secret, and all the roads in the radius are forbidden areas, and there are special troops responsible for guarding them. The troops guarding were sloppy on the surface, but in fact they were on high alert, and the soldiers had no idea what the people inside were doing.

After a round of training, the team members took a short break on the lawn by the river. He took off his waterproof leather jacket and leaned naked against the huge mine. Now they only have the strength to breathe, but they will continue to train in twenty minutes.

A mine is an explosive weapon laid in water, which can be detonated by a ship's mechanical collision or by the action of other non-contact factors (such as magnetism, noise, water pressure, etc.) to damage an enemy ship or hinder its activities. Mines have the characteristics of low price, great power, easy to deploy, difficult to detect and clear, and flexible in function. And these mines are all fake mines, which are purely for training.

Ye Lei said to everyone: "You are the protagonists and heroes of the retreat practice in martial arts, and when the practice is over, it will be earth-shattering." ”

Ye Lei didn't say a word about this operation, but everyone knew what they were about to do. If they succeed, it must be earth-shattering, but they also know that behind the earth-shattering is danger.

Now they are beginning to understand what special forces are, and special forces are always dancing with danger. Just because you're lucky this time doesn't mean you're lucky next time, and the three players lying in a hospital bed are a good example.

Ling Shaokun leaned on the mine and said with a smile: "The captain is fooling us again." I said captain, don't be old and empty, can you come to something practical? ”

"Yes, if you want to be comfortable, get out of here immediately! It's still in the selection period, so you can go whenever you want. ”

"When I didn't say it."

Ye Lei didn't have the heart to joke, and he rarely had such a serious expression, the more he was like this, the more it proved the danger of this operation. Although he said that it was still the stage first, in Ye Lei's eyes, he had already regarded all of them as special combat members and his brothers. After going through so many deaths and lives, they already have a deep bond, which is completely different from the selection of special forces in peacetime.

Ye Lei looked at the time and said, "One more minute of training, your life will be more secure." After the break, continue training! ”

"Yes!"

The team members changed into diving equipment and pushed the mines into the Suzhou Creek again.

At this time, a herald ran over in a panic and saluted: "Report, the division commander ordered Ye staff to go to the division headquarters immediately, 100,000 urgent!" ”
