Chapter 158: Counterattack

At this time, the night in Zhabei is exceptionally quiet, and the tranquility makes people feel suffocated. There were two days left before August 15, and the moon in the sky was exceptionally bright, covering the earth with a very bright layer of outer sand. And the soldiers on both sides have no intention of admiring this beautiful moonlight, and a decisive battle to the death will soon begin.

Both sides were waiting for that moment to come, and it would be a stormy battle.

Ye Lei stood on the roof of the Sixing warehouse and looked into the distance, grabbed a handful of dust from the ground casually, and then gently fell. The dust drifted southeast with the evening breeze. Everything is ready, now wait for the moment of ten o'clock.

"Chief Ye~"

"Why hasn't Boss Du left yet, this is a battlefield."

Du Yuesheng didn't leave, he walked to Ye Lei's side and looked at the direction of Zhabei, and said: "Climb high and look far away, a man's mind will become broader, and this night breeze makes people feel comfortable." There is news that Du will soon be appointed deputy commander of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Rangers, so he wants to stay and learn how to fight. ”

Ye Lei chuckled and said, "I think Boss Du is the busiest in Shanghai, touching almost every field of anti-Japanese resistance. Fundraising, organization of medical teams, transportation, refugee camps, spy warfare, and now personally leading troops to fight. ”

"Are you making fun of Du?"

"How dare you, my Uncle Lu admires Boss Du very much. Hundreds of thousands of Nationalist troops insisted on fighting a bloody war, partly because they bought time to get Minsheng Shipping to ship Shanghai capital to Wuhan as soon as possible, which is the lifeblood of China's industry. Boss Du, fighting a war is a matter for our soldiers, and some things are more important than fighting. ”

At this time, a large amount of smoke was rising in the northwest direction of Zhabei, and the time for the counterattack had come, and the overwhelming white smoke was the clarion call for the counterattack.

When Ye Lei turned around and passed by Du Yuesheng, he said: "Fighting a war is actually very simple, 'know yourself and know your opponent', and 'go to war and strategize'. Everyone understands the truth, it is like a mountain of gold, everyone can see it. But there are not many people who actually dig and turn gold into their wealth. ”

After speaking, Ye Lei went to his post. Du Yuesheng understood what Ye Lei meant, the art of war is not to say, but to understand, dig deeper, and combine it with reality to become his own thing.

Although there are contradictions between the two, Du Yuesheng admires Ye Lei's ability and the style of a pure soldier; And Ye Lei admires Du Yuesheng for sparing no effort to resist Japan, as Lu Zuofu said, Du Yuesheng is sincerely anti-Japanese.

The smoke in the northwest direction of Zhabei became heavier and heavier, drifting towards the Japanese defense area with the autumn wind.

The information quickly reached the Japanese military headquarters, and Sato understood what Ye Lei meant, he knew the Japanese army too well. The Japanese army is not bad at night fighting, but very good at night fighting. The reason why night battles are rare is because they do not want to fight night battles with the national army, and night battles will lose the advantage of air and artillery fire.

Each class of the devil has a potion to improve night vision: "Mi No. Agent". The outside is wrapped in sugar, and the main ingredients inside are cod liver oil, vitamin A, and calcium phosphate, which can improve night vision when taken by humans. Each bottle contains 45 capsules, which is the daily supply for 5 soldiers. Soldiers who take the "rice number dose" have a considerable advantage in night battles.

Ye Lei is now smoking everywhere, and this advantage of the devil is gradually lost.

Sato now seems to have regained his confidence and decided to give Ye Lei a go, so he ordered: "Tell the soldiers to wear gas masks, don't fight the outer defense line, and block the attack in stages." ”

The entire southeastern part of Zhabei was shrouded in smoke, while troops in the northwest continued to smoke everywhere. The smoke drifted in all directions, although not very thick, but some areas were only visible for twenty meters.

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

To the west of the right flank, a battalion took the lead in launching a counteroffensive from the front.

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

In the eastern street position, the devils in the fortifications quickly launched a counterattack. Suddenly there were gunshots, and the bullets that were not airy were like a pillar of light running straight across the street. The smoke caused a lot of trouble to the devils, so they could only use this dense firepower to suppress the opponent's attack.

Countless fires whizzed through the middle of the street, and the commander of the second company of the first battalion in charge of the attack sighed: "Damn, I think even mosquitoes are going to be crushed by this density of firepower." ”

The soldiers of the two squads were scattered on both sides, and their task was to shoot and conceal, while the artillery platoon in the back continued to shell the forward positions, with the purpose of attracting devil fire.

"Bang!" "Bang!" “……”

On both sides of the street, there were faint gunshots coming from the rooftops, and they were the best sought-after players of the Second Company, using Japanese 38 rifles in their hands. In addition to its high accuracy, the 38 rifle is also the most suitable weapon for night fighting, because the spark generated by the muzzle is very low.

These sought-after targets are the machine gunners in the position, and the target is locked on by weak sparks and continuous gunfire. Regardless of whether it is aligned or not, the left and right sides are fired at an oblique angle, and there are always ghosts who are unlucky to be shot in a row of bullets, and the devils have no idea that such a team exists.

In this environment, the defender suffers greatly, the attacker can move flexibly, but the defender must stay where he is. Just like during the day, the 2nd and 3rd Battalions held their positions stubbornly, but they could only be bombed indiscriminately by Japanese planes.

The firepower of the devils in the position began to slowly weaken, and the right flank of this position was easily broken by the three companies of the first battalion. Again, in the misty night, the machine guns blocking intersections and alleys are easy to snipe. And the soldiers of the second company can't see the devil at all, whether they climb over the wall or move along the wall. When found, as well as at the throwing distance of the opponent's grenade.

"Kill~" "Kill~" "......"

Killing cries rang out from the right side of the road, and a platoon of troops killed from the flank. The devil's position was suddenly disrupted, and the second company seized the fighter plane and quickly launched an attack from the front.

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

Several explosions sounded from the devil's position, and with this explosion, the soldiers of the second company rushed into the position and successfully regained the area.

"Ahem, when will this smoke stop?"

The commander of the second company felt that the smoke was getting thicker and thicker, because it was closest to dozens of smoke spots. Although it is not breathless, it is a great test for the eyes and throat. All the anti-gas units were distributed to those soldiers with good marksmanship, and the commander had to observe the surrounding battle situation and command the troops, so he was not allowed to wear gas masks.

The stretcher team behind immediately came up and quickly carried down the wounded who had just fought, and the second and third companies continued to attack the next intersection.

Not long after the attack of the first battalion, the 523rd Regiment in the south launched a fierce attack on the Japanese on the left flank. In the northwest direction, there are soldiers in various areas, intersections, and alleys are discharging smoke, and the intensity is getting stronger and stronger.

The defenders came prepared and prepared, and the outer defense line of the devils was defeated and retreated. Sato, who was in the headquarters, remained calm, as if all this was expected by him.

Sato looked at the map of Zhabei and said softly with a neutral air: "Ye Lei, you are finally here." We've only just begun, and I'm sure to surprise you before long. ”

Smoke and offense are all appearances. Ye Lei has Ye Lei's plan, Sato has Sato's plan, and in the end, it depends on who can laugh until dawn.
