Ye Lei felt that he was a shrouded bird and was trapped in the regimental headquarters, and the special team withdrew to his station after receiving the order.

On the right flank, Sato consolidated the defenses of the area after occupying the outer battlefield, and then launched a further attack on the city.

On the left flank, another Japanese unit continued its offensive against Sanyi.

There has been constant artillery fire and fighting on the outskirts of Zhabei.

"Brothers, fight!"

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

At a four-character intersection on Hengfeng Road, the vanguard of the devil was violently counterattacked by the three battalions.

On both sides of the road were strong fortifications, equipped with various light and heavy weapons, and artillery support in the rear. But the most dangerous to the devils is the fire points on both sides, and the roof windows are constantly throwing grenades and oil bags, so that the devils scattered on both sides have nowhere to shield.

Some devils pretend to be clever and enter the building to clear the fire, but they are quickly blasted out. In desperation, the devils attacked the flanks and carried out house-by-house blasting on the main road. But even so, they entered very slowly, and the casualties were not small.

The task of attacking the right flank of Zhabei was given to Mitsuhiko Sato, and at the front command, which was full of officers of the Marine Corps at all levels.

An officer said: "Sato-kun, the enemy's firepower is very strong, and the defense of the left and right flanks is also very tight. ”

Another officer said: "Not only that, but my troops attacked from the flanks, and when they climbed over the wall, they often encountered mines in some inconspicuous places. ”

"It's not a mine, it's a mine." Sato exhaled, he didn't expect the defenders to be so tightly defended, even if the air force was sent to support it, it would be useless. And now, the rear ship guns are completely useless.

The surrounding naval officers were a little helpless, and although they could break through with a hard fight, the casualties were too great.

Sato didn't say a word, and an officer asked again, "Sato-kun, what should we do now?" ”

Sato put his hands on the command table, looked at the map and ordered: "Order the troops, continue to attack, don't fight hard, just divert the other party's attention." ”

The devil attack force and the defenders started a confrontation and were not in a hurry to advance, and Sato seemed to have a backup move. However, this move of the devil gave the third battalion a chance to breathe.

"Report! The devils in front stopped the attack, and now they are in a stalemate with the third battalion, but the opponent's firepower is still very fierce. ”

"Got it."

The news quickly spread back to the regiment headquarters, and Han Xianyuan also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Damn, I can finally take a breath." ”

Along the way, the Japanese army was already tired and was preparing to redeploy for further attacks. At least now Han Xianyuan and Xie Jinyuan think so, and Ye Lei also thinks so, but the last battle of the devil in the third camp is very unusual. The other party was caught off guard, and he hurriedly withdrew his troops to maintain his combat strength.

Ye Lei didn't speak, the defense of the third battalion was personally deployed, and he couldn't think of any flaws.

Seeing Ye Lei's serious expression, Xie Jinyuan asked, "Ye Lei, what's wrong?" ”

Ye Lei was silent and said, "I always feel uneasy, this is a soldier's intuition. ”

The head of the regiment, Han Xianyuan, immediately became serious and said: "Just say that there are no outsiders here, and tell all your concerns." ”

Ye Lei said: "It was the Japanese Army Wing that fought with the third battalion in the morning, and his tactics were old-fashioned and decent, so we took a big advantage. In the afternoon, the Japanese were replaced by marines, and first bombed in all directions, confusing my judgment. Later, when he feinted to attack the frontal position, he suddenly struck my right flank with lightning and caught me by surprise. In order to maintain the combat strength, I had no choice but to withdraw my troops. ”

Han Xianyuan asked, "What does this mean?" ”

Xie Jinyuan replied for Ye Lei: "It means that his commander has changed." I think what Ye Lei means is that the enemy will not stick to the rules, there must be a back move, a back move that we can't even dream of. ”

Ye Lei said: "What the deputy said is right, but I can't think of it for a while." I even thought that they would use the concession to attack us, but there was Du Yuesheng's Green Gang there, so it was unlikely. ”

The command fell silent for a moment, and Ye Lei said, "Maybe I'm worrying about it." Now that the battalions have been deployed in place, the positions cannot be chaotic. ”

Ye Lei was afraid of disturbing the morale of the army and shaking the hearts of the two commanders, which was a taboo for soldiers.

Sato does have a back-up move, and it's a killer move. He has three brigades at his disposal, and let's not forget that he is also the leader of the "Phoenix" organization.

At the front command of the Japanese army, Sato has been waiting for a person who has something in his hand that can change the entire tide of battle.

"Report! Someone outside wants to see the chief. ”

"Call her in."

"Hey!"

At this moment, a woman walked in from outside the headquarters, twenty-five or sixteen years old, wearing a Western-style women's dress. The woman is tall and tall, with a mature and charming appearance, and her two plump breasts are spread out by a white shirt. The whole feeling is like flowers, right out of the most brilliant time.

Fujii Momoe is the head of the Special Second Division of the Senior Secret Service Department, and the Second Division is responsible for collecting intelligence and compiling intelligence materials.

"Sect Master, your request has been delivered, and we have only recently completed the compilation."

Momoe Fujii held a folded map in both hands and bent down in front of Sato.

Sato took it, opened it and put it on the table to take a closer look.

This is a map of the Zhabei waterways, with red circles on it indicating the locations of important exits.

Sato leaked a confident smile and said, "Yo Xi ~ Ye Lei, you must have dreamed of it." ”

Fujii Momoe asked, "Sect Master, is this map distributed to other troops?" ”

Sato waved his hand and said, "There is no need for this, this tactic can only be used once, and it is very dangerous." Naval Intelligence has drawn up a very detailed map of the Zhabei area, and that's enough. ”

This tactic is indeed very risky, if the other party knows, as long as a few troops are sent into the various key points, there is no chance that the people inside will survive at all.

In response to this map, in combination with the Zhabei area map, Sato immediately convened an emergency combat meeting. And the army, aviation, and armored troops are required to cooperate.

The battle was raging at the front, and the Japanese command in the rear held an emergency combat meeting.

Sato was the first to say, "This operation must be carried out by the Navy and the Army. Kuramori-kun, I hope you can forget the previous unpleasantness, abandon the previous suspicions, and fight the enemy together. The navy and army were both servicemen of the Great Japanese Empire, and they should not be separated from each other. Together, we will work for our holy war and be loyal to our emperor! ”

Sato had already pulled down his face, and he didn't take the opportunity to take advantage of the credit, and his tolerance made Kuramori feel ashamed. Through a short period of contact, Kuramori discovered that Sato was not an incompetent person, nor did he climb up by virtue of his family status. Although he is a young man now, it is because he is still too young and may not be able to reach his status in two years.

Cang Mori was ashamed: "I apologize for the previous rudeness, our purpose is to win." Sato-kun, tell me about your plan, and the army will fully cooperate. ”

"Yo Xi~" Sato shook his hand, and a lieutenant began to explain the battle plan drawn up by Sato himself.

Phase 1: There are three squadrons forming three assault teams, which enter Zhabei Forte from the sewers and then assemble in the designated target area. These three points have no real defensive value, so the defense is the weakest.

Stage 2: After assembling, three assault teams attack the defenders' main roads and important facilities from behind.

The third stage: While the enemy's position was disrupted, the frontal troops, combined aviation and armored forces, launched a lightning assault on the right flank of Zhabei.

Stage 4: Immediately after the occupation, heavy troops are deployed to defend the main roads to prevent the enemy from counterattacking.

The fifth stage: After consolidating various areas, wave troops and the right wing army to flank the left flank of Zhabei, and finally achieve the goal of fully occupying Zhabei.

The plan can be called a classic, the surprise attack from the underground, the combination of inside and outside, and the coordination of empty ground tanks, fully give full play to the advantages of the modern equipment of the Japanese army.

The general attack was set at 5 p.m., the time when the defenders were at their laxest.
