On October 2, China and Japan really kicked off the final decisive battle. Mobile M.

To the south of Sanyili, the Japanese army at Hongkou attacked the right flank of the 88th Division; To the north of Sanyili, the Japanese army in Yangshupu attacked Jiangwan of the 36th Division; The 3rd, 9th, and 101st divisions of the Japanese army launched an attack between Chenjiahang and Tangjiazhai west of Wusong, and the 11th division entered the area between Yunzaobang and Zoumatang to cover the flank of the main force and attack south at the same time as the main force. The remaining 13th Division served as a reserve.

The purpose of the Japanese army's operation was to quickly break through the Yunzaobang defense line, seize the big field, and destroy the main force of the Nationalist army in the northern direction of Shanghai in one fell swoop. After the various departments seized Dachang and Zhabei, they directly took Suzhou Creek and captured Shanghai.

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

At half past twelve, the Japanese army bombed the Sanyili defense area, and Sanyili, which was already ruined by broken walls and broken houses, was once again destroyed by merciless artillery fire. A heavy cannon came down, and the ground immediately set off dozens of battles of earth flowers, and the whole ground trembled.

The shelling continued unfolding, and the devils seemed to want to bring the Chinese army to its knees directly with shells.

The 2nd Battalion defense area was caught in a sea of fire, and the troops suffered heavy casualties, and it was difficult to low-grade this dense artillery fire even if they hid in the anti-artillery holes.

"If we continue to fight like this, the second battalion must be wiped out."

"Regiment commander, why don't you withdraw the second battalion first, and wait for the devil's artillery fire to pass, and then enter the position."

In the headquarters, some staff adjutants really couldn't bear to be wiped out in the artillery fire. After yesterday's bloody battle, as well as the morning's battle, the second battalion had already suffered more than half of its casualties.

However, Zhu Chi had no intention of withdrawing the second battalion, once the devils attacked, they would lose the advantage of preemptive strikes and affect the entire tactical deployment.

Ye Lei never spoke on the side, such a sacrifice was helpless, and now there is only 1 battalion left in the 528th regiment, which is a reserve for the final return attack. After last week's bloody battle, the 527th Regiment is replenishing and repairing in the rear.

The 88th Division also has a reserve regiment, and the soldiers' equipment is replaced by the main force, and the combat effectiveness is very average. Even so, this branch of Sun Yuanliang will not be easily dispatched, that is the last card of the 88th Division.

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

The Japanese shelling has been going on for an hour, and it feels like this raining shell is a very luxurious thing, and it is even more enviable by the national army. In the morning, Ye Lei launched 5 shellings, but each time it did not last more than a minute, and mortars were used.

The second battalion continued to languish under artillery fire, and the wounded soldiers who were blown out were not cared for, and could only wail in pain on the scorching ground. Under such intensive shelling, logistics and medical teams simply could not come up.

The shelling continued until 1:30, and the Japanese soon launched a ground attack. In the previous outlying positions, the devils gathered two squadrons, one squadron launched an attack, and the other squadron pressed the formation.

The Japanese attack was still an old trick, with machine guns covering the infantry attack and artillery support. The only difference is that this time they did not make a sortie of tanks. Perhaps because he was afraid of Ye Lei's existence, Ye Lei rarely blew up tanks, but often captured tanks and became his own combat power.

The outer position was 400 meters away from the main position of the 2nd Battalion, and this 400-meter area was already in ruins, with only a few scorched broken walls.

After the shelling stopped, stretcher teams and medical teams quickly moved into positions to treat the wounded. The seriously wounded were carried down on stretchers, while the lightly wounded continued into battle with a simple bandage.

The Japanese vanguard soon approached 100 meters, and the soldiers of the second battalion on the position quickly launched a counterattack.

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

Suddenly gunfire rang out from the front position, and bullets flew everywhere.

The vanguard of the devils was not in a hurry to charge, but used the ruins as cover to cover alternately, advancing step by step.

The Japanese squad had a grenadier squad with two grenadiers, and at the same time had a machine gun squad with two light machine guns. After the observer observes, he strikes at the defenders' points of fire.

The main position of the second battalion was to use sandbag fortifications as cover for counterattack, and the troops on both flanks used rooftops and ruins to stop the Japanese attack with heavy firepower. In the rear, the clapper battery directly under the brigade launched artillery bombardment to assist the defense of the second battalion.

The first round of the devil's attack was quickly reversed, and the second battalion suffered another casualty, and some of the machine-gun fortifications were destroyed.

The atmosphere in the command was a bit heavy, the second battalion's persistence was for the final victory, and any sacrifice they made was worth it.

A staff officer said: "It's really not good, let's pull the special combat team up." Their marksmanship is accurate, and they can effectively stop the devil's attack from a long distance. ”

"No way!"

Zhu Chi vetoed it, the special combat team is the trump card in his hand, and it must not be used casually in conventional operations.

Ye Lei stood up and said, "I'm going to the position." I know what the devils are up to, they just want to fight a war of attrition and attack our firepower. When the fight is almost over, an onslaught will be launched. ”

Zhu Equator: "Don't I know? It's not time yet. While the devil consumes us, he is also consuming himself. Now the hard fighting of the 2nd Battalion is for the final counteroffensive. ”

At present, the Japanese army still has three squadrons of troops, and at least one squadron must be disabled.

After a round of fierce fighting, the commander of the second battalion also discovered the purpose of the Japanese army, which was to build their own firepower and consume their own troops. Now there are no decent fortifications in the position, and if it continues like this, the second battalion will hold out for less than three rounds.

At the command, the commander of the second battalion convened a meeting of officers of all ranks. At this time, the second battalion lost one company commander and five platoon commanders, and the remaining strength was only more than 200 people. These officers are all fighting on the front line, all of them dusty and bloodshot.

"Battalion commander, if you continue to fight like this, the second battalion will be gone!"

The commander of the second company said excitedly that there were only 60 people left in their company, and two platoon commanders died.

The first company commander continued: "The devil's intention is obvious, that is, he wants to consume us, and then kill us overnight. ”

The second battalion commander said: "It's true that you can't fight like this anymore, damn! The devil's marksmanship is accurate and the artillery fire is fierce, and we can't afford it. Even if we fight it, we have to fight it cost-effective, we want to fight one and two! “

The first company commander said excitedly: "Battalion commander, you say, how to fight!" ”

The second battalion commander said: "Put the devil in, Ye Lei gave us a lot of good things, we have to make good use of it." This time I fought with the devil! ”。

"Killing one is enough, killing two is profitable, let's fight!"

"Yes, fight!"

Seeing the sacrifice of so many brothers, the officers had already killed each of them and decided to lead the remaining soldiers and devils to fight hard. There is a distance of 400 meters between the position of the second battalion and the outer position, and the battle line is pulled apart, so that the devils have no way to return.

The commander of the second battalion began to redeploy, not to confront the devils head-on, and to let the devils in, it was a big deal to die with the devils.

The task of the second battalion is to consume the strength of the devils. Even if one fights one, more than 200 people will fight out one of his squadrons, it's worth it!

Before the devils attacked, the 2nd Battalion withdrew all the machine guns and distributed a large number of grenades to each soldier. and set up ambushes in all houses, alleys, and ruins. Smoke grenades and fake grenades were also distributed to each squad.

Half an hour later, the devils launched another shelling. And this time, the commander of the second battalion ordered the troops to withdraw from their positions, leaving only one platoon of troops. Now wait for the devils to come and let them know the bloodshed and deceit of the Chinese soldiers.
