"Got it."

At the headquarters of the 88th Division, Zhang Baiting hung up the phone with a solemn expression.

Sun Yuanliang asked, "What's the situation?" ”

Zhang Baiting said in a low tone: "The rescue was very successful, and a total of 78 people were released, most of whom were wounded. But ......"

"But what?"

"The commander of the second battalion, as well as the German adviser von Schmelin, died."

As soon as Zhang Baiting's words fell, an atmosphere of sadness shrouded in the headquarters.

After this battle, the second battalion of the 524th Regiment was originally more than 700 people, and now only one battalion can fight.

"Everyone."

Sun Yuanliang looked at every officer around him and said with confidence: "The time for the final decisive battle has come, and we must let the devils know the unyielding will of our Chinese soldiers!" ”

Sun Yuanliang's words reinvigorated those present and gave them confidence in this battle.

Mitsuhiko Sato's encirclement and reinforcements ended in failure, and he even stole chickens and rice, and suffered heavy losses when attacking the second battalion.

The scales of victory began to slowly tilt to the side of the 88th Division. Another reason for this result was that the 88th Division pressed the border from three directions, pinning down the Japanese forces in three directions, and finally causing the Japanese army to attack the second battalion from the front.

At the command of the Japanese army, Sato was not shaken by this defeat. This kind of small defeat will not affect the overall situation, as a commander, you must always stay calm, not to mention that you have occupied most of the area on the periphery of Zhabei and have gained a firm foothold.

The only thing that distressed Sato was that there were eight casualties among the so-called special operators in the battle, and five of them were killed.

Sato once again saw the gap between the two special combat teams. The devil is a one-man fight, targeting the opposing officer; And Ye Lei's special combat team is a two-soldier operation, targeting the opponent's snipers. The gap between the two sides is obvious.

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

The Japanese army regrouped, gathered forces again and launched an attack on Zhabei in the early morning. The 1st Battalion of the 524th Regiment launched an all-out blockade on the front.

In Sato's eyes, the 88th Division has reached the end of its strong crossbow, and now it must not give the other party a chance to breathe. As long as the first battalion of the 524th Regiment is broken, the troops can drive straight into Zhabei and fully occupy Zhabei.

As for the 527 regiment, after 4 replenishments, most of them were recruits. Such a force is simply vulnerable compared to its own elite generals.

The first battalion of the 524th Regiment can be said to be the last line of defense on the right flank of Zhabei. Han Xianyuan led the troops directly under the regiment to the front line and personally commanded the battle.

"Pay attention to the defense in both directions. Remember, the Japanese are not bad at night fighting, on the contrary, they are good at night fighting. It's just that they have lost the advantage of artillery fire and don't like to fight at night. ”

At the command of the 1st battalion, Han Xianyuan once again emphasized this point.

Yang Ruifu, the commander of the first battalion, said: "We all understand this. On the left and right flanks, in addition to arranging the necessary troops, we have also set up traps at various key crossings, and if the devils dare to approach, they will not return! ”

As he spoke, Yang Ruifu pointed to the map of his defense area and said: "In the main street in front, we also have a large number of bunkers, which cooperate with the commanding heights of the houses on both sides of the street to form a three-dimensional fortification. Also, we don't have bombing points on either side of the road, and there are soldiers who detonate them at critical moments. ”

The defense of the first battalion seems to be impeccable, but the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and anything can happen.

Sato still used the previous routine, attacking the left flank of the first battalion first, and the troops invested were not very many. It didn't take long for the devil's attack to be quickly repulsed.

Immediately, Sato sent troops to attack the right flank, and he was quickly repulsed by the defenders.

In the end, Sato began to attack the middle lane, and under the blows of the bunker and the fire points on the roof, the devil attack force could not move an inch.

Sato stopped the attack at this time, and these three attacks, almost all of which were tentative, were aimed at understanding the opponent's firepower arrangement.

At the Japanese headquarters, Sato summoned officers of all ranks to discuss the plan of the attack.

At the command table, one of the lieutenants said: "Night fighting is really not in our favor, we can't lock on to the target position. And when attacking, it is often attacked by the enemy suddenly, and it can be said that it is impossible to prevent it. ”。

Other officers had the same opinion. Fighting a war is about making use of the strengths and avoiding the weaknesses, and the defenders occupy the advantage of geographical advantages, and if they start a night battle, it is equivalent to avoiding the strengths and promoting the weaknesses.

Sato didn't know this truth, he just wanted to understand the opponent's combat strength, but he didn't expect the defense of the first battalion to be so tight, and it was a bit of an exaggeration to say that it was invulnerable to knock down.

Sato seems to have thought of a countermeasure and ordered his troops to attack from the center.

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

The Devil attacking forces scattered on both sides of the street, using road debris and houses as cover to attack, and the rear grenadier groups launched artillery bombardment at the same time.

The devil's attack was very strong, and the soldiers of the first battalion in the position opened fire with all their firepower, trying their best to block the Japanese attack.

The battle lasted until 4:00 in the morning, and the two sides fought fiercely for three hours, but the devil had no intention of stopping, and continued to attack without stopping.

In the forward command of the first battalion.

"We've been fooled!"

With a "clapp", Han Xianyuan slapped his hand on the table and said: "The devil's attack is thunderous and rainy, just to consume our ammunition, and to put our soldiers in a state of fatigue, and they will launch a full-scale attack as soon as it dawns." ”

This is Sato's killing war. Drain the opponent's ammunition, drain the opponent's energy, and drain the opponent's morale.

Xie Jinyuan said: "It's really unusual. But it is good for us, and it is good for them. We know how many forces the other side has put in, so we can't be sure which one is the real attack. If the firepower is weakened, it is likely that the defense line will be broken through by the opponent. ”。

The armament of the 88th Division was limited, and intermittently Song Ziwen had not given the troops a good replenishment. In this way, the 524th regiment simply cannot afford to spend it.

So, Han Xianyuan ordered: "Order the troops to control the ammunition and weaken the counterattack." I want to see what the hell they're up to, and if they dare to come here! ”

The battle situation is indeed as Han Xianyuan expected, and the devils are constantly feintting. Even though the defenses were weakened, they still didn't attack. However, in the previous three hours, the first battalion had already consumed a lot of ammunition, and the soldiers were exhausted.

October 13 at 8:00 a.m.

The Japanese attacking forces were ready to launch a formal assault on the 1st Battalion.

"Boom boom" "Boom boom" "....... ”

The rear artillery of the Japanese army was the first to launch an artillery bombardment, intensively bombarding the defense area of the first battalion. Everywhere there was a fire, and the smoke of gunfire filled the entire district. Extensive destruction of the surrounding buildings, scorching fires burned everywhere, and a battalion of fortifications was severely damaged.

After the shelling, the Japanese attacked from the center. After last night's battle, they were already very familiar with this area, and their attack was very orderly.

"Brothers, hit hard!"

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

Yang Ruifu personally went to the front line to command the troops to fight. A large number of fortifications were destroyed, and some of the warriors could only hold out in the ruins. On the buildings on both sides of the road that were not blown up, fire points were arranged to assist in the defense of the middle road.

In the rear, the artillery company directly under the 524th Regiment simultaneously launched a defensive assistance and launched an artillery bombardment of the attacking Japanese troops. The two sides fought fiercely for half an hour, and under the fierce resistance of the officers and men of the first battalion, the first round of attacks by the devils was repulsed.

At 9:00 in the morning, the devils launched a second round of attacks, and under the stubborn resistance of the soldiers of the first battalion, they were once again repulsed.

In both battles, there were some casualties on both sides. During the battle, Yang Ruifu, the commander of the first battalion, was injured in his left arm, but he still insisted on the front line.

"Report!"

A herald came to the position and reported to Yang Ruifu: "The division headquarters has called, ordering the first battalion to evacuate the defense area at 2:00 p.m.!" ”

There was only one battalion left in the 524th Regiment, and Sun Yuanliang didn't want them to suffer too many casualties, so he had to reserve combat strength for the final counterattack.
