Sanyi-ri was captured by the Japanese army, and the division headquarters convened an emergency combat meeting to discuss the battle plan for the counterattack on Sanyi-ri.

  "The General Command is very angry and orders that we must retake Sanyili within three days."

  Sun Yuanliang's face was very ugly, which showed how much pressure he was under. Zhu Shaoliang was very annoyed when he learned that Sanyili was captured by the Japanese army, the battle ahead was difficult, and his backyard was on fire again, and he was the one who was really under pressure.

  On the phone, Zhu Shaoliang asked Sun Yuanliang, why was Sanyili captured so quickly? Why didn't the 527th Regiment take advantage of the fact that the devils were not on a firm foothold to carry out a counterattack after they arrived?

  In last night's battle, Sun Yuanliang commanded without error. His explanation was that the Japanese army attacked the east and the west, and launched a lightning assault on Sanyili. The 528th Regiment fought hard for days and was overwhelmed. The 527th Regiment was mainly composed of new recruits, and was not good at night fighting, and if it caused large losses, the entire Zhabei left flank would be in danger. In that complex environment, consolidating Zhabei's defenses should be the first consideration.

  Immediately, Zhu Shaoliang ordered the 88th Division to recover Sanyili within three days, and he was related to the entire Songhu battle situation.

  Zhu Chi said at the meeting, "It's not that I want to shirk responsibility, the devil's attack is too sudden, and it is very sharp, and it is completely a deathless charge." The enemy attacked the defense line of the first battalion on three fronts, and there were snipers among them, and our defensive firepower was not well played. ”

  Ye Lei said, "Not only that, more than half of Sanyi is in ruins, and there is no danger to defend." We have lost a certain geographical advantage, but the Japanese army occupies the time, the people, and the strength of the army is twice that of us. I was responsible for last night's battle, I was careless. I sent a special team to Sanyili and laid a large number of mines on the road of the opponent's attack, but none of them exploded. ”

  Han Xianyuan then said, "It's time for you to reflect. Last night, whether the enemy attacked the left flank or the right flank, the opposing commander had already figured you out. On the right flank, the continuous and non-stop offensive of the Japanese army is directed against you; On the left wing, those treacherous thunders have long been known to the other party. And the purpose of the opponent's attack on the right flank is to lure you and the special forces into the right flank. ”

  Sun Yuanliang slapped the table and said, "Now is not the time to do a review, talk about how to counterattack." ”

  Chief of Staff Zhang Baiting said: "The reconnaissance from the front has reported that the third brigade of the Japanese Marine Corps is now defending Sanyili, with a strength of about 800, and it has been prepared for defense overnight. Now the most dangerous is the 36th Division, whose flank was completely exposed to the Japanese due to the fall of Sanyi-ri. ”

  There was silence in the venue, who knows what it means for Jiangwan to be captured, and the big field will be directly exposed to the Japanese army. Then the Japanese army in Hongkou will unite with the main force in the north to flank the Nationalist troops in Dachang and Wenzaobang, and the entire Songhu defense line may collapse.

  The 88th Division is now facing a great crisis, and the division headquarters handed over the task of counterattacking Sanyili to the 523rd Regiment, which means that the defensive responsibility of the right flank has all fallen to Ye Lei's 524th Regiment. And the 524th Regiment has been fighting the front line, especially in last night's battle, and the troop attrition is very serious. The third battalion had long been disabled, the second battalion was less than half of its strength, and the first battalion was responsible for breaking the defensive line, which was the last line of defense of the 524th regiment.

  The 88th Division also has two supplementary regiments, which have been continuously replenishing the front-line troops since the "August 13" battle, and are already responsible for the defense of the rear, and the strength of the troops has reached the limit. Therefore, now that the troops have been withdrawn and repaired, almost all of them are newly recruited recruits, who have never even fired a gun, don't know what the devil looks like, and don't even know what war is.

  Not only the 88th Division, but also other units in the Battle of Songhu were like this, and countless recruits had already died under the enemy's artillery fire without even firing their guns. One of the reasons for such a large proportion of Japanese casualties in the Battle of Songhu is this.

  The meeting continued, and the officers discussed and studied how to counterattack. The 88th Division has not yet come out of the shadow of the "Ten-Day Siege", and now it is another battle, and I don't know how many soldiers will have to be sacrificed to recover Sanyili. As for the time, there were only three days left for the 88th Division.

  When everyone was talking, Ye Lei did not speak at the operational meeting. Sanyili had to be recovered, but another crisis appeared in front of him, and the 523rd Regiment was transferred to the left flank, which made the right flank very empty.

  Sun Yuanliang saw that Ye Lei had been silent, this was not like his previous style, so he said, "Ye Lei, don't you have anything to say?" I'm looking forward to your tactics. At the beginning, I took this miscellaneous card to go straight to Luodian, and later led a group to sweep the Japanese invaders, but it is your masterpiece. ”

  Ye Lei said: "Commander, I haven't thought of a good way yet, so I don't want to speak." But I hope that the 523rd Regiment will not attack, it is our last trump card, and we really can't afford to hurt. Also, now the right flank is empty and needs to be replenished in time. ”

  Sun Yuanliang asked, "How can you recover Sanyili without attacking?" ”

  Ye Lei said: "Although this battle is a tough battle, it is different from the last ten-day siege and attack on Hongkou, Sanyili belongs to Zhabei and is our own territory, there should be a breakthrough, and it does not necessarily have to be attacked." ”

  Ye Lei's words dispelled the shadow of the "ten-day siege" of many officers, Sanyili is our own territory, and the initiative is in our hands.

  Ye Lei continued, "Sanyili is three kilometers away from the Japanese army base camp in Hongkou, and the east is already in ruins, and the enemy's defense focus is on the southwest, the direction of our defense area. It seems that they cut off the defense line of Jiangwan and Beizhan Station, but in fact, this force is between the three points of Jiangwan, Dachang and Zhabei. We have a lot to do about it until the Japanese army does not pose a danger to Jiangwan. ”

  Sun Yuanliang felt that Ye Lei's analysis was very reasonable, so he said, "Keep talking." ”

  Ye Lei said, "Commander, I said it, I didn't think about how to continue." But the first step was to let the 523rd Regiment contain the Japanese army in Sanyili, not to storm it, and buy time for the 36th Division of the Japanese army to threaten Jiangwan. And then we're using all sorts of factors in our favor to develop a plan that benefits us. Before that, what I have to do is scout and find a breakthrough. Don't destroy the entire Zhabei defense because Sanyi is important. ”

  Chief of Staff Zhang Baizhu agreed with Ye Lei's statement and added, "That's right, we can't mess up now." Zhabei is far more important than Sanyili. There are hundreds of thousands of our troops in front, and Zhabei is their back road. Zhabei is also the central axis of the entire Songhu battlefield, the withdrawal of the front troops and the reinforcement of the rear troops, armaments, materials, and the transportation of the wounded must pass through Zhabei. Also, behind us is the greater Shanghai. ”

  The operational meeting quickly reached an agreement to counterattack Sanyili on the premise of consolidating Zhabei. The 523rd Regiment contained the Japanese army in Sanyili, and Ye Lei was responsible for conducting detailed reconnaissance of the surrounding areas of Sanyili and drawing up a set of the most feasible combat plans.

  Zhabei and Hongkou are like a chessboard, the two sides are playing a game of death and death, and now the Japanese army has the upper hand in the chess game, Ye Lei must find a breakthrough on the chessboard to reverse the defeat.
