Chapter 280: The Final Declaration of War
The sun rose in the east, and with a huge explosion, the final general attack of the Japanese army on Zhabei began.
The defense line on the right flank of the 88th Division was in an inverted V-shaped defensive posture, so at the beginning of the battle, the devils took the lead in launching artillery bombardment from the left and right flanks.
Before the battle, Mitsuhiko Sato carried out a pre-war mobilization of various units. Whether it was against the 88th Division or the Japanese army, this was the moment of the final life-and-death decisive battle.
"Warriors of the Empire! The Chinese army violated the Songhu armistice treaty and stationed troops in Shanghai without authorization. And at the Hongkou airport, two of our officers were shot. On August 13, the hateful Chinese army suddenly launched an attack on our Hongkou. After ten days of bloody fighting, our marines held Hongkou and created brilliance! So, you are the pride of the Empire, the strongest Imperial warriors! ”
"Now that the decisive battle has arrived, behind you is the last line of defense in Zhabei. In the rear of Zhabei is Shanghai, and in the north is the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Chinese Army, so this battle will be related to the success or failure of the Shanghai Campaign. This is a glorious battle, and it will bring you the highest honor!
As he spoke, Sato raised the sword given to him by the emperor in his hand and shouted, "Here I will share humiliation and glory with you, live and die together!" Warriors, the final victory belongs to us and to the Great Japanese Empire! ”
"Hooray! Banzai! ”“……”
Although Sato was not good at this kind of pre-war mobilization, and had never even done anything like this before, it shows how important this battle was to him. And it was this pre-war mobilization that completely boosted the morale of the officers and soldiers, just because he was Sato, with a noble bloodline, and was the first samurai of the empire.
"Boom Boom" "Boom Boom" "......"
The artillery on the right flank of Zhabei thundered and shook the earth, shells of various calibers rained down from the air, and the two wings were in a sea of fire, and the waves of fire swept the entire area like a violent wind. Such an outrageous artillery bombardment was the last declaration of war by the Japanese army, and at the same time it was a reminder to the defenders of their determination to win Zhabei.
"Although we built huge fortifications to prevent enemy shelling, the casualties reported from the front were still very large, and the division commander ......"
"Even if our defense zone is razed to the ground, we will defend it to the end! This is our last line of defense, the troops have no way to retreat, and to the north is our hundreds of thousands! ”
Sun Yuanliang spoke categorically, and had made up his mind to defend Zhabei until the last moment. At this moment, both sides have reached the final moment of life and death, so it is necessary to fight for every inch of land, and not to make the enemy pay the price of blood.
The Japanese army did not know that this battle would determine the success or failure of both sides. In addition to the Zeng soldiers in the rear base camp, Hasegawa Kiyoshi will do his best to reinforce any forces that can support the front line. It can be said that both sides of this battle have invested all their strength.
Half an hour later, the Japanese shelling stopped, and the ground forces began to attack the "V" flanks.
The devil attack force is centered on the road and spreads to both sides of the road using various points.
"Hit!"
"Dadada" "......"
Faced with the devils attacking in front, the warriors quickly crawled out of the ruins and entered the fortifications to counterattack with all their might.
"Bang!" "Bang!" “……”
In the burning building, gunshots were heard incessantly. The fighters on both sides attacked the attacking devils from above in the remaining flames, and constantly threw grenades to help the troops in the middle of the road defend themselves frontally.
"Attack! Attack! ”
Directly in front of the road, the leader of the devil squad took the lead and commanded his soldiers to attack. Those devils, inspired by the commander, were not afraid of life and death, and launched an orderly offensive in accordance with the requirements of the command.
"Da Da Da" "Da Da Da" "Da Da Da" "......"
In the rear, the devil machine gunners opened fire to suppress the fire of the defenders in the fortifications ahead. The devil infantry scattered on both sides, using the building as a rock mass, and used their accurate marksmanship to shoot at the defenders on both sides of the building.
"Spit ~ Spit ~ Spit ~ " "......"
The buildings on both sides were dusty, and soldiers were constantly falling from the sky.
"Boom Boom" "Boom Boom" "......"
While the two sides were fighting fiercely, they used their respective grenadiers and mortars to launch artillery shelling together. The Chinese soldiers used their lives to tell the invaders that they would have to pay the price of blood if they did not occupy a single land.
The left flank of the "V" shape was defended by a battalion of the 88th Division, and the devils paid a lot of price every time they occupied a junction. However, there was a special unit on the right flank to defend, and the previous heavy artillery bombardment had been blown away, and as soon as the devil ground infantry attacked, the special forces were defeated.
"Damn, give it all to Lao Tzu to go back, resist it! A devil 50 oceans! ”
No matter how the captains who led the team persecuted, the form still couldn't be reversed. Life is more important than money, and when a person dies, money is worth it, so money can't buy will.
In less than half an hour, two-thirds of the defense zone on the right flank was easily occupied by the devils.
"Da Da Da" "Da Da Da" "Da Da Da" "......"
"Those who dare to take a step back will be killed!"
On a central avenue, Ye Lei rushed to support with a special combat team and three companies, blocking the rout of more than 300 people from the middle.
I saw Ye Lei wearing a heavy camouflage uniform, pointing a gun at the captain who took the lead in escaping, and said fiercely: "Military law is ruthless!" ”
The captain of the Einsatzgruppen was covered with dust, and said helplessly: "Sir, the devil's artillery fire is too powerful, we really can't stop it." Just now, more than 200 brothers have died! ”
Li Hu stepped forward and shouted, "What sir!?" Standing in front of you is the god of war Ye Lei! My name is Li Hu, and Lao Tzu used to be from the Green Gang. Brothers, in the past, we only knew how to grab the docks, but we would only oppress the people, open casinos, open brothels, and sell opium everywhere to endanger the people, shameful! Now that the devil has been killed at our doorstep, you have weapons in your hands, and if you don't contribute to the country now, when will you stay!? ”
Li Hu's words brought a great shock to these Qinggang disciples, especially the existence of Ye Lei brought courage to these people. Now the retreat is blocked by Ye Lei and cannot leave, and these gangsters are also bloody Chinese.
The devil will soon be killed, and the road will become very congested, and the situation is extremely dangerous. The captain turned around with a shell gun and shouted, "Brothers, we also have bloody Chinese men!" With the god of war fighting side by side with us, what else do we have to fear, follow me and kill back! ”
"Kill!" "Kill!" “……”
The members of the Einsatzgruppen seemed to be stimulated, and they all screamed.
"Wait!"
Ye Lei suddenly shouted. This swarm of bees is simply feeding bullets to the devil. As a result, Ye Lei redeployed these people into three. Part remained, using the fortifications, as well as the surrounding buildings to block in situ; The other two parts dispersed the two border defense areas to consolidate and increase the defensive forces on both flanks. Cheng Zifeng stayed behind to assist in the frontal defense, and left Li Hong's special operations detachment behind, using sniper tactics to block the enemy's attack.
As for Ye Lei, he took Li Hu's special operations detachment into the alley and made every effort to block the enemy's attack on both flanks and ensure the safety of the defense in the middle.
