Chapter 143: Prepare for Battle!

"Kill!" "Kill!" “……”

The training ground shouted this killing shout, and the spear team formed by Ye Lei was training in stabbing training. They work in pairs and threes, with a small team of six and a large team of twelve. Fighting against them is a platoon of soldiers, they are holding all three or eight big covers, which is also the method of learning the devil's stabbing, a group of two, three people in a triangle to counterattack, or six people in a row.

In this battle, the pikes had to exert their might, and street battles often led to hand-to-hand combat and stabbing first.

"Throw!"

"Brush~Brush~Brush~"......"

In another field, the grenade throwing training conducted by the second platoon was filled with circles in an area of 20 to 30 meters in front of them, which was not a long distance, and the soldiers were required to accurately throw the grenades into the circle. This is the requirement of street fighting, not to go far, but to be accurate.

Ye Lei's special combat team was pulled into the field, led by Li Hu and Ling Shaokun, specializing in training long-distance sniper tactics.

The decisive battle is imminent, and Ye Lei can only conduct targeted training.

The 524th Regiment is responsible for the right flank of Zhabei, southeast of Zhongshan Avenue, and southwest of the rear is Suzhou Creek, the Public Concession, and downtown Shanghai, and the right flank is likely to become the main direction of attack of the Japanese army. The engineer battalion directly under the division has built a large number of strong fortifications in the areas of Qipu Road, Shanbei Road, and Tiantong Road in the southeast of Zhabei to meet the upcoming battle.

The outer defense line was defended by 524 three battalions, close to the Songning railway, and was interrupted into a second battalion defense area, and then broken into a battalion defense area, including the regimental headquarters.

Ye Lei accompanied the regiment commander Han Xianyuan to inspect various positions in the capacity of a regimental staff officer, and carried out targeted deployment of the Japanese army's offensive methods.

"I really doubt that you belong to fire in the five elements, and you like to play with fire so much."

"Fire can burn everything, and burning to death is the most painful."

When inspecting the position of the third battalion, Han Xianyuan sighed at Ye Lei's deployment. Ye Lei turned out to be the captain of the Fire Wolf team, and he didn't play with fire.

Most of the positions of the third battalion were open areas, and Ye Lei ordered people to arrange fire points in front of the trenches, as well as cat holes for soldiers to hide, and each person was equipped with gas masks. The so-called fire point is some wooden barrel buried in the surface layer of the ground, which contains a mixture of tung oil, gasoline, kerosene, and water.

In addition to these, a large area at the front of the position was nailed with a large number of wooden stakes and barbed wire, and there were logs on the ground, as well as a large number of torn clothes and quilts that the people did not want.

"Report! The wagons of the baggage battalion came. ”

"Got it."

At this time, three or two trucks drove from the rear to the vicinity of the position, and Han Xianyuan quickly went with the officers.

A squad of soldiers quickly lifted boxes of supplies from the car and placed them on the ground.

Han Xianyuan picked up a glass bottle and said, "Molotov cocktail, you want to deal with the Japanese tanks, right?" ”

Ye Lei said: "Yes, the Japanese army is all light tanks and armored vehicles, which are very effective. Even if it can't be blown up, it can effectively stop their attack,"

As he spoke, Ye Lei pointed to other supplies and said, "There are still oil bags here, put them in the forward trenches, as long as the devils enter the trenches and burn these dogs." There are also these balls that can create a large amount of smoke, which is used by the troops to retreat. ”

Ye Lei used everything that could be used and made reasonable use of these materials. The Japanese artillery fire will definitely cover it densely, and it is easy to burn yourself if it is not distributed well.

Subsequently, Ye Lei followed Han Xianyuan to inspect other positions, reasonably deploy troops, firepower, and fire points, and make reasonable use of the surrounding environment and troops. In addition to this, the mines are placed at some important points, and the marks are noted that only their own people know.

The right wing is next to the concession, Ye Lei is very ambivalent about the concession, he is the land of the Chinese, but it has become a country within a country. However, the concession also became a firewall, and the Japanese had to occupy Zhabei before they could enter the city, because they could not enter the concession.

Now that the 88th Division has entered a state of full readiness, battles will break out at any time. Zhabei is now a completely military area, but there are still a large number of people on the main streets. The public concession and the British and French concessions closed the floodgates and blocked all passages, and the population of the concession had exceeded the conformity, and ordinary people could not enter it at all.

The people of Shanghai either stayed in China and suffered Japanese air raids, or they fled. The remaining people in Zhabei are basically men and women with labor, men are responsible for carrying the wounded, ammunition, and helping to build fortifications, and women take care of the wounded and cook. They can eat for free and receive a variety of fiat currencies every day.

The people suffered the most in the war, and the artillery fire destroyed their homes and killed them. They are reluctant to leave their homes, and their families live like beggars in the city, risking their lives to earn back their meager income to support their families.

Ye Lei accompanied Han Xianyuan to the division headquarters after inspecting the position, but unfortunately he met an embarrassing person.

On the first floor of the Sixing Warehouse, Ye Lei happened to encounter the scene where Sun Yuanliang sent Du Yuesheng, and the two were immediately embarrassed when they met.

"Commander."

"Here we are."

Ye Lei saluted, Sun Yuanliang replied softly, and then thanked Du Yuesheng: "Boss Du, thanks to your great help this time, you have solved the urgent need of our 88th Division." ”

"Master Sun is polite. is still the same sentence, to resist Japan and save the country, I am obligated to do something. ”

Du Yuesheng said and turned to look at Ye Lei, sighed, and said, "Chief Ye, I didn't expect to meet again so soon." I, Du, am a person with clear grievances, so you can do it yourself. ”

After speaking, Du Yuesheng took two of his subordinates and left the division headquarters in a car.

Ye Lei looked at the limousine and said, "What do you mean?" ”

Sun Yuanliang on the side smiled: "Heh~ He wants to thank you, but he can't pull his face." Du Yuesheng mentioned you just now, and your two reports have helped him a lot, and the Green Gang's special forces are now reborn and can join the battle in Zhabei at any time. Also, the Einsatzgruppen is under-equipped, and I gave him some of the arms you snatched from Huishan Pier last time, also because of you. ”

Ye Lei pursed his lips and smiled, turned around and asked, "Commander, then he should thank you, you ...... just now"

Sun Yuanliang leaked anger and said: "The 88th Division doesn't have much combat preparation materials anymore, and the rear won't transport them to us at all." After Du Yuesheng found out, he sent us food and other materials in time. ”

Ye Lei didn't understand very much, and said: "How can this be, we are the descendants of the chairman!" ”

Sun Yuan said angrily: "The person in charge of military transportation is Uncle Song Ziwen, damn, he only cares about his own tax regiment, and he doesn't care about other troops at all!" ”

Sun Yuanliang was very resentful. Song Ziwen was not only in charge of the military transportation of the troops at the front, but also responsible for publishing military news. However, the work of military news release has been done in a mess, not only the number of releases is small, but almost all of them are a thing of the past, and there is no timeliness. At that time, Japan's military propaganda held press conferences three times a day, all of which were the latest and timely. In this way, China's propaganda war was completely defeated by the Japanese side.

Sun Yuanliang and Song Ziwen are considered to have formed a relationship, and Ye Lei doesn't care about these. Now that the 88th Division is fully prepared, with the assistance of Du Yuesheng's Einsatzgruppen, Zhabei's defense has a better chance of winning.
