The Sanyili defensive line, the two sides fought fiercely for a whole day, and it did not stop until ten in the evening, and the outer line positions had been occupied by the Japanese army. On the right flank of Zhabei on the mobile phone, under the command of Han Xianyuan, the Japanese army could not take a step beyond the thunder pool.

Sanyili had a great relationship, and after the battle, Sun Yuanliang took the division officers to personally inspect the position.

The sky is cloudy, the autumn wind blows through, people can't help but feel a chill, and what makes people's hearts even more chilled is the cruelty brought about by the war.

The streets are lined with ruins, and the black walls are stained with blood. The corpses of soldiers were carried down from the front, some of them with only arms and arms remaining. Such a tragic scene that even veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time will shed tears when they see it.

"Commander."

"Commander."

“……”

The soldiers on the side of the street stood aside one after another when they saw Sun Yuanliang, their faces dusty, giving people a look of a fierce battle. Some of the lightly wounded were simply bandaged and ready to go to the battlefield again.

"You're all doing well, get a good rest."

Sun Yuanliang comforted and condoled the soldiers on the side of the road as he walked, while Ye Lei observed each soldier in the officer corps. Judging from their eyes, words and demeanor, nearly half of them were recruits at that time.

"Division commander, there is a front-line position ahead."

An adjutant beside him reminded him, but he didn't explain that he had to worry about the chief's face.

Sun Yuanliang's expression was solemn, and he ignored the adjutant's reminder and continued to walk east.

"Salute!"

In a slightly intact compound, where the officers and soldiers saluted together, this was the temporary headquarters of the second battalion.

"Commander."

At this time, the acting brigade commander Zhu Chi rushed over with people, and Sun Yuanliang asked directly: "Why did you fight so badly?" ”

Zhu Chi didn't answer, just stretched out his hand and said, "Let's go into the house and talk about it." ”

The group came to the house, and in front of the command table, Zhu Equator said: "Second battalion commander, you come to report on today's battle situation." ”

"Yes!"

The commander of the second battalion was already stained with blood, and his expression was tired. The commander of the second battalion of the combat during the day was at the forefront and personally led his soldiers into battle.

"Today's fight is really miserable, I've never seen a devil play like this. ……”

The commander of the second battalion gave a detailed report to Sun Yuanliang on the battle during the day. The Japanese were not in a hurry to attack, but used powerful artillery fire, as well as armored forces to advance aggressively, and then used the commanding heights in the rear to cover the attack of the troops in front.

The second battalion commander finally said helplessly: "We can only fight and fight hard with the devils, which is why there are so many casualties." ”

"Bulldozer tactics."

Ye Lei blurted out after listening, and Zhu Chi asked: "Ye Lei, they all say that you are a genius in tactics, do you have any good tactical responses?"

Ye Lei said: "The Japanese learn everything from others, and this tactic is similar to the all-attack and all-defense style on the football field. The Germans are the best, so we call him the German tank. ”

As he spoke, Ye Lei fiddled with the things on the table and said, "This kind of tactical attack is very slow, but it has the power of thunder. The Japanese army gave full play to its heavy firepower superiority and gradually encroached on our defense area, while we lost our geographical advantage. ”

Ye Lei pointed to the items on the table, and continued: "Our defense is mainly based on the main street, and the two wings are cooperative. The two wings rely on the favorable environment of alleys, houses, and commanding heights, and if the two wings are lost, the overall defense will be very weak. As soon as the two flanks were breached by the enemy, the positions on the main road would naturally be self-defeating. ”

After speaking, Ye Lei sighed and said, "There is another point that is extremely unfavorable to me. A large number of buildings have been destroyed, and the enemy can deploy effective fire to cover them, and it will be very difficult for us to counterattack. Moreover, it is difficult to engage in street fighting in this environment, and most of them are white-knuckle battles with bayonets, which is exactly in the hands of the enemy. Their individual quality is far better than ours, and I've seen a lot of new recruits along the way. ”

"Cough~" The second battalion commander sighed after hearing this, and said: "These recruits haven't even touched a gun for a few days, let alone stabbing them, one devil can resist a few of us." Moreover! Obviously, you can stab devils to death, but some recruits don't even have the courage to stab them! ”

Ye Lei said: "You can't blame those recruits, it's our uniforms that have problems, and we don't have perfect reserve uniforms."

Sun Yuanliang finally understood why this battle was fought so fiercely. He can be forgiven for not adapting to the sudden tactics, but ......

"How do you usually train recruits!? I don't even have the courage to kill the enemy, is this still called a soldier? The bandits are stronger than them! ”

Sun Yuanliang suddenly became angry, which shocked everyone present, which was obviously asking for guilt.

The commander of the second battalion explained: "The recruits have been in the army for less than a month, and we have not taught them the basics, and we have directly trained them to shoot guns and fight stabs, but there is still not enough time."

Sun Yuanliang said: "Ye Lei, you tell them how to train recruits."

Ye Lei said: "Three kinds." The first is to teach recruits military skills directly; Second, after a battle, the body is buried by recruits; The third is to train with the life of the devil. However, this should be determined in light of the actual situation on the battlefield. ”

Ye Lei finally added: "Let the recruits understand the battlefield, so that they can deeply realize that either you die or I die on the battlefield, which is more important than any training."

Sun Yuanliang looked at the crowd and said loudly: "Do you understand?" The battlefield needs the courage of soldiers even more! ”

Most of those who survived the battle were veterans, and the casualties among the recruits were the greatest. Veterans feel very sluggish, and that's a sign of composure, and they've been through too much life and death.

And what the recruits lack is this calmness, so they must be allowed to experience cruelty in advance. If you don't have the courage to sacrifice yourself, you could be the next corpse to be carried.

Sun Yuanliang decided to counterattack at night and regain the outer positions lost during the day. If the Japanese army is allowed to encroach on it like this, it may be captured in less than three days. At that time, the Japanese army will blossom in the middle, and the entire Songhu defense line may collapse.

Ye Lei said goodbye to Sun Yuanliang and personally went to the periphery to investigate the situation. The devils were already heavily defended in that area, and they seemed to have expected the 528th Regiment to fight back. Both the firepower allocation and the deployment of troops are very rigorous.

In front of the devil's defense area was almost a large area of ruins, and even the road was very blurred. If you stick to the rules, you will definitely suffer heavy casualties if you attack with ordinary tactics.

Under normal circumstances, it is difficult for the Japanese army to implement this "bulldozer tactic", but after more than a month of fighting, the original building has been bombed beyond recognition. Now it's like an empty shell, and when it explodes, it's a flat land.

Ye Lei returned to the previous headquarters, and Sun Yuanliang and the others had already left.

The commander of the second battalion who stayed behind said: "The division commander has already gone to visit the wounded, and he asked you to stay and assist the 528th Regiment in regaining the outer position."

"Oh, borrow a phone first."

Ye Lei picked up the phone and connected to the headquarters of his regiment, hoping that this counteroffensive would be assisted by the 524th Regiment.

After the fight, Ye Lei said to the commander of the second battalion: "Let the soldiers of the second battalion have a good rest."

Ye Lei seemed to have a battle plan, so he left the second battalion and went to the brigade headquarters to draw up a feasible counteroffensive plan with Zhu Chi.
