Chapter 304: Feint Attack on Shanghai

After boating on the West Lake, in less than ten days, Ye Feng was busy again.

In view of the fact that the merit value in the "Nuwa" system has not been much, although the 110th Division of Little Japan was eliminated after the last Xuzhou War, and the 5th Brigade and the 1st Brigade of Combat Vehicles were independently mixed, and a lot of merit value was earned, but two infantry divisions and one armored division were expanded in Xuzhou, and a lot of weapons and equipment were exchanged.

At present, the construction of the navy has entered the fast lane, the Zhoushan military port has long been completely completed, the Ningbo shipyard is on the right track, the first aircraft carrier is already being built, the navy has reached the scale of tens of thousands of people, and what is lacking is all kinds of warships, especially aircraft carriers.

If he wants to speed up the construction of the navy, Ye Feng can only walk on two legs at the same time, on the one hand, he should hurry up the construction of aircraft carriers, destroyers, frigates and other ships, and on the other hand, he needs to exchange various types of warships from the system, which requires a lot of merit points.

With the issuance of Ye Feng's order, the staff of the 6th Group Army went through detailed tactical deductions, combined with detailed and sufficient information, the staff formulated a detailed operational plan, and the first step was to attack Suzhou, eliminate the little devils in Suzhou, and rejuvenate the state.

As for the recovery of Shanghai, that was a plan for the future.

Suzhou, known as Wu in ancient times, referred to as Su, also known as Gusu, Pingjiang, etc., is one of the big cities in East China, located in the southeast of Jiangsu Province, south of the Yangtze River, the east bank of Taihu Lake, and the middle of the Yangtze River Delta.

Suzhou is known as the "Garden City of China" with its unique garden landscape, and is known as the "Paradise on Earth" and the "Venice of the East". Suzhou Gardens is a representative of China's private gardens and is listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

Suzhou has a long history. With a written history of more than 4,000 years, Suzhou is the birthplace and master of Wu culture, and has long been the political, economic and cultural center of the Jiangnan region. Suzhou is one of the four gatherings in the world, Suzhou City was founded in 514 B.C., the historian Mr. Gu Jiegang after research, Suzhou City is the oldest surviving city in China.

There is heaven above, Suzhou and Hangzhou below, and at present, the jurisdiction of the 6th Group Army already has Hangzhou. It is really a beautiful thing to restore Suzhou again.

Suzhou has been occupied by Little Japan for a long time, and the people of Suzhou City have been living under the butcher's knife of the little devils, and they have long looked forward to the recovery of the new 6th Army. Rescue everyone from fire and water, light recovery state, and everyone is looking forward to it.

In the past few months, although the newly formed 6th Army has not made any major moves against the small Japanese Central China Front. Last blitz Jiaxing. After the elimination of the Hatian detachment, there was no more action and remained unmoved.

Even though the new Sixth Army behaved very "peacefully," the small Japanese army in Central China did not dare to despise the new Sixth Army, and deployed four divisions and regiments and one independent mixed brigade in Suzhou, Wuxi, and Shanghai. A heavy artillery brigade, a separate tank wing. As well as a large number of puppet troops, the total number of Japanese puppet troops exceeded 200,000.

With the implementation of the plan for small Japan to move southward, many Japanese divisions in China were transferred to Southeast Asia, but the total number of Japanese puppet troops in Suzhou, Wuxi, and Shanghai has not decreased, and only the numbers of Japanese troops have changed significantly.

More than 20 kilometers north of Jiaxing, Jinglong Town.

This is a town that the new 6th Army has already recovered, and it is also a relatively large town, there are thousands of settled people in the town, and there is a large military camp in the northern suburbs outside the town, which is a military camp of the new 6th Army.

In Jinglong Town, the new 6th Army was stationed with the strength of an infantry regiment all year round. However, in order not to disturb the people, the soldiers are generally in the barracks outside the town, and rarely appear in the town, and the soldiers of the new 6th Army can be met in the town in peacetime, and they are also in groups of three or five, and the soldiers take a break to come to the town for a stroll or buy a little something.

Today, the people of the town suddenly found that there were suddenly more fighters in the town, and early this morning, the people of the town woke up to find that armored vehicles and tanks had also appeared in the town.

"Lao Liu, what's wrong today, why are there so many soldiers of the newly formed 6th Army all of a sudden?"

"I don't know very well, I heard that there are more troops outside the town, there are a lot of armored vehicles and tanks, it's a big area"

"Is there going to be a war?"

"You don't know what to do!" A middle-aged man who looked like a boss, with a mysterious face, whispered: "I heard that the new 6th Army is going to do something to the little devils, and it is to recover Shanghai." ”

"Really, that's great."

"The new 6th Army has this ability, every time it beats the little devils, if Shanghai can be recovered this time, my Lao Zhang will definitely buy a firecracker and put it loudly."

“”

A large number of troops suddenly appeared inside and outside the town, and the people in the town were hotly discussed in private, and the people were both curious and expectant.

East of Jiaxing.

This is one of the highways leading to the mountains and seas, Jiaxing to Shanghai has a railway, but this section of the railway has been damaged in several places, some bridges have also been blown up, and it has not been opened to traffic for a long time.

There is not only a railway, but also a highway between Jiaxing and Shanghai, and there is more than one highway to Shanghai. At the beginning, in order to resist the new 6th Army, Okamura Ninji, commander-in-chief of the Central China Front of Japan, ordered the Japanese puppet army in East China, Shanghai, Jiaxing, Wuxi, and Suzhou to build a large number of roads, and the transportation network extended in all directions.

After Jiaxing was recovered by the new 6th Army, these roads naturally still existed, but the roads near Jiaxing were under the control of the new 6th Army, and the roads near the occupied areas were under the control of Little Japan.

On this main highway from Jiaxing to Shanghai, a long tank unit is advancing along the road, which is a tank group consisting of more than 100 M4 Sherman tanks, 30 or 40 M3 half-track armored vehicles, and more than a dozen Tiger tanks.

At the head of the line were 11 Tiger tanks and a Tiger tank company. This armored unit was the 3rd Tank Regiment of the 1st Armored Division, and the mission of the 3rd Regiment was to start from Jiaxing and attack the area around Shanghai.

At the same time, not only the three tank regiments attacked the area around Shanghai, but also the three tank regiments of the First Armored Division left Jiaxing early in the morning and began to attack along the highway in the direction of Shanghai.

This is the feint attack tactic of the new Sixth Army, giving the little devil the false impression that the new Sixth Army is going to attack Shanghai on a large scale.

The 3rd Tank Regiment, the long tank unit rolled along the road, the sky was full of dust, and the team stretched for two or three kilometers, which looked very spectacular and magnificent.

It's a torrent of steel!

Out of Jiaxing City to the east, less than two hours, the team advanced dozens of kilometers, the front of Zhujia Town is also a big town, because there is a highway through Zhujia Town, the strategic location of this town is more important, small Japan stationed heavy troops.

The little devils are building turrets in this area, digging trenches, and even hidden forts, etc., with dense fortifications, and this section of the road near Zhujia Town is damaged in many places, and ordinary vehicles are almost impassable.

Outside Zhujia Town, the terrain is flat, and there is a small river a few meters wide and less than half a meter deep in the west of the town.

The water of the small river is crystal clear, the grass on both sides of the river is green, several shepherd boys are herding cattle, may be grazing cattle for the landlord's family, looking at it, the scenery is very beautiful, and there are even large rape flowers, golden rape flowers, it is completely a sea of flowers.

It's just that in this beautiful scenery, the turrets built by several little devils seem to be not coordinated at all, and this beautiful scenery is broken one after another.

After crossing the river, there are many turrets on both sides of the road, and there is even a long fortification built of big green bricks, big stones and cement, on this fortification, there are sandbags piled up in several places, machine guns are erected, and you can see a lot of Japanese puppet soldiers.

Machine guns were set up on the tops of several turrets, plaster flags were fluttering on the tops, and there were even many little devils on guard on the turrets.

Because there is a small river flowing from north to south, cutting off this east-west road, the Japanese puppet army in Zhujia Town even saved the anti-tank trenches, and built a large number of fortifications directly on both sides of the road on the east bank of the river.

On the top of a turret, a short little devil, holding a Type 38 rifle, was standing guard with three puppet soldiers.

The little devil was holding a cigarette, and a puppet soldier next to him looked attentive and was striking a match to light a cigarette for the little devil.

Suddenly, the boss of this little devil's mouth opened, and the cigarette that had not yet been lit in his mouth fell to the ground with a "snap", and the puppet soldier who was striking a match couldn't figure out the situation, and he was puzzled and puzzled.

Seeing such a big mouth of the little devil looking at the distance of the road, the puppet army also looked over, this look, it seemed that he saw a very terrifying thing, the puppet army was shocked and shouted.

"Oh my god!"
