Captain, this is bitter tea, seeing that you have been very hot recently, drop the fire. ”

In the dining hall, Chen Guobang brought a bowl of herbal tea to Ye Lei.

"Thank you."

Ye Lei took a sip and felt really bitter, so he drank it in one go.

The rest of the team sat at the table and waited for the meal to begin. At this time, the soldiers of the third company were still holding their positions.

One of the team members asked, "Captain, are we not moving?" ”

"Rest, that's the task."

Ye Lei felt that the storm was coming soon, and the special combat team must have enough energy to deal with the next brutal battle at any time.

"Big brother, when is the time to eat? I'm dying of hunger. ”

At this time, Huang Meiting jumped into the dining hall, and now she is more and more like Ye Lulu.

"Here we are."

At this time, the cooking squad leader walked in with a few soldiers and a meal.

Ye Lei looked at the food on the table and asked, "Squad leader, why is it so rich?" ”

The cooking squad leader smiled: "Aren't there guests?" Besides, the special combat team is not an ordinary team, and it must maintain physical strength, according to the regiment commander. ”

Ye Lei asked, "Are the soldiers on the battlefield ready to eat?" ”。

"Alright, steamed pickles. I'll bring someone to it later. ”

This is the case in every company, and when fighting, meals are mainly simple.

The food on the table and the food eaten by the soldiers on the battlefield were simply worlds apart. Some of the team members had difficulty swallowing and didn't even move their chopsticks.

Ye Lei picked up the chopsticks and said, "Eat quickly, don't waste food." ”

After eating, Ye Lei ordered everyone to go back and rest. Go back to the room by yourself and don't let anyone disturb you.

In bed, Ye Lei closed his eyes and thought, came up with various possibilities for the enemy, and then analyzed them to calculate the probability of various possibilities.

At this time, a thought suddenly flashed in Ye Lei's mind, I don't know if Chen Guobang's bowl of bitter tea played a role, his heart was not as irritable as in the morning, and his thoughts began to become clear.

But that possibility is only one probability, more likely than the others. So, Ye Lei immediately went to his office and picked up the phone to call the division headquarters.

"Hey, Commander?"

"I'm the chief of staff, what's the matter."

"It is possible that the target of the Japanese army is Sanyi-ri. They gathered heavy troops on the right flank, just to attract our troops, and then launch a surprise attack on Sanyili. ”

There was a sudden silence on the other end of the line. Half a day later, Zhang Baiting said: "I know. ”

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Baiting immediately ordered someone to reconnoiter the situation of the enemy troops opposite Sanyili, and ordered Zhu Chi to be more vigilant.

At 1:00 p.m., a huge explosion sounded again in Zhabei.

The Japanese launched an artillery attack on the right flank, and this time the shelling was very heavy, and 24 bombers were dispatched. Bombing target, right flank of the position of the 524th regiment.

"The bombers were dispatched, and this time the devil is real."

At the headquarters of the 88th Division, Sun Yuanliang was very sure that the devils would launch a formal attack.

Zhang Baiting said: "I received a call from Ye Lei just now, he said that the target of the Japanese army was Sanyili, and the devils were fighting in the east. ”

Sun Yuanliang asked, "What is the situation of the Japanese army opposite Sanyili?" ”

Zhang Baiting replied: "No. Only one squadron was deployed on the front. ”

Sun Yuanliang breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Sanyili is more important than the right wing, so the 528 regiment should be vigilant at all times. ”

Zhang Baiting said: "I have already informed Zhu Chi. ”

However, on the surface, the target of the main attack of the Japanese army was indeed the right flank of Zhabei. After the bombardment, the Japanese ground forces launched a fierce attack on the right flank of the 524th Regiment.

"Brothers, hit hard!"

"Da Da Da" "Da Da Da" "... ”

Gunfire erupted from the right flank position, and the third company of the 523rd Regiment was in the ruins, braving artillery fire to counterattack. The fortifications in this area were largely destroyed by Japanese artillery fire.

The soldiers of the third company could only use the remaining fortifications and ruins to counterattack with their own strong firepower.

Bullets rained down, but the Japanese troops in front used armored vehicles as cover and kept approaching the position.

"Bang~Bang~" "......"

The 523 regiment pulled two machine guns from the position, which were fired constantly at the armored vehicles in front. The heavy machine guns on the left and right sides of the position fired at the devil soldiers behind the armored vehicles at an oblique angle.

With a "boom~", an armored car was hit by a gas fire. Under the suppression of the strong firepower of the defenders, there were a large number of casualties among the devils in the rear.

It didn't take long for the devil's first attack to be repelled by a triple beat. And in this attack, the third company also suffered some casualties.

Immediately after the battle, the stretcher team carried the wounded away, and the soldiers of the logistics sent ammunition to the positions.

This round of attacks by the devil doesn't look like it's fake, it feels like it's inevitable.

Twenty minutes later, the devils launched another artillery attack, and then another strong attack.

In the division headquarters, Zhang Baiting asked: "Do you still think that the target of the Japanese army is Sanyili?" ”

Ye Lei said: "I never said that it must be Sanyi, but the probability has decreased." Thinking from another position, I thought of many possibilities, Sanyi Li has the highest probability, the right wing of the 524 regiment is second, and the left wing is third. ”

Sun Yuanliang was curious and asked, "Probability?" ”

Ye Lei said: "First, the strategic significance of Sanyili, he is the center of the defense line of Jiangwan and North Station; Second, the Japanese army attacked there for more than ten days and lost a brigade, so they would not just give up; Thirdly, there is now only one battalion there. Attacking the right flank, what is the Japanese army trying to do? We still have two reserve regiments in the rear. ”

As soon as Ye Lei's voice fell, a report came from the front: "Report, the right flank of the 524th Regiment was captured by devils, and now it is flanking the main position of the 524th Regiment." At the same time, the Devil's frontal troops launched an attack on the main position of the 524th Regiment. ”

This time the battle report felt that Ye Lei was slapped in the face, and the devil's attack was unusually strong, and several fighters were dispatched to cooperate with the ground forces to fight. ”

Sun Yuanliang didn't have time to think about it, and immediately ordered: "Order the artillery to cooperate, and the reserve troops to launch a counterattack, and regain the lost position at all costs!" ”

"Yes!"

The reserves, which had been on standby in advance, received an order to launch a counterattack immediately.

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

At the same time as the counterattack, the artillery battalion of the 88th Division launched an artillery bombardment on the previously lost positions and coordinated the counteroffensive operations of the attacking troops.

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

The devils in the position reacted immediately, setting up machine guns on the ruins and broken rooftops.

In the hail of bullets, the soldiers attacking in front fell in rows, and the soldiers in the rear continued to charge one after another.

The devil seems to be desperate, like a rock. No matter how fierce the shelling was, it still held out.

Han Xianyuan personally went to the front line to direct the operation. One part of the troops blocked the frontal enemy head-on, and the other part of the troops fought fierce street battles with the devils on the flanks.

The battle was stalemate for a time, with heavy casualties on both sides.

Sun Yuanliang immediately ordered the special combat team to attack and assist the attacking troops in regaining their positions. The right wing has now become the key, and as long as it is recaptured, the devils will naturally retreat. At this time, Sato had already withdrawn his special combat team, because he knew that the current special combat team was not Ye Lei's opponent at all.

The fighting between the two sides continued until 4 p.m., and with the assistance of the special combat team, the 523rd Regiment recaptured the right flank position. After a day of fierce fighting, the 88th Division did not let the Japanese army cross the minepool one step.

This assault was just the beginning of Sato's plan, and his goal was the whole of Zhabei.
