Two days have passed, and Shen Shaofan and the National Youth League still haven't made any movement, which has made the blocking of the sky very bad.

Blocking Tianfang stood next to Shaofan and said, "My regiment leader! You've only been in the military order for five days, and it's going to be over in two days, so why don't you send troops? ”

Shen Shaofan said with a smile: "To fight on the battlefield, you must know yourself and know the other side in order to win all battles." We've actually started an assault on the Three Cities right now. Scouting is the first attack to start a fight. We need to thoroughly understand the situation in the three cities before we can send troops to attack the city, and once the city is attacked, it will only take one or two days to drive the devils across the east bank of the canal. The military order I have placed with General Zhang for five days is already a conservative estimate, and according to my plan, I can launch an attack tonight. ”

At this time, Lou Yun ran in and said, "Commander, you have seen all the terrain you want me to see." Shadao Bend, Tianma Temple, and Sancha Forest are the most ideal ambush positions. ”

"Good! Great work! Shen Shaofan patted the next paragraph, Lou Yun immediately looked at the map for a while, and then shouted: "The correspondent ordered all officers above the company level to come to the regiment headquarters for a meeting. ”

"Yes!"

Blocking Tianfang looked at the map and said: "Shadao Bend is very close to Gongcheng on Highway 13. ”

Shen Shaofan said: "Yes." Sandbend is the key to winning this battle. There was a Japanese armored unit on Gonglu, with about twenty tanks, but this was the only remaining armored unit of the devils on the Hudong defensive line. If they go out of the city to support Gao Xing, they will definitely pass through the sandway bend, where we will ambush this tank force. ”

"Ambush? Take what ambush? With our mortars? Or our artillery battery? Blocking Tianfang asked.

"Nope! The artillery company was to put the siege on the high line. It was the 412 Artillery Brigade. Shen Shaofan said.

Blocking the sky and said, "What? 412 Artillery Brigade? Blocking the sky with a look of doubt and disbelief.

Shen Shaofan said: "General Zhang is busy with military affairs in the entire Shanghai, so he handed over the command of Hudong to Liu Feng and Zhang Zhiheng. The two of them had agreed to pull the 412th Artillery Brigade out to ambush at Shadao Bend, in fact, the 412th Brigade had already opened Shadao Bend, and at the same time, I also ordered the logistics rifle company to ambush the 412th Brigade with the 412th Brigade and provide infantry cover for the 412th Brigade. ”

Blocking Tianfang thought for a while and said: "The 412 Artillery Brigade is a mountain artillery brigade, which is very suitable for ambushing soldiers and fighting tanks halfway, has strong mobility, and is easier to tow than ordinary artillery. Not bad! ”

At this time, all the officers of the National Youth League and above the first level had arrived, and they watched everyone sit around the conference table. Shaofan said: "Brothers, you also know that the main purpose of today's meeting is to attack Gaoxing; Gu Lu; Three cities of Gong Road. Our task is to drive the devils across the east of the river and occupy them, and push the entire Hudong defense line to the west of the Pudong Canal, so as to build a solid defense line here and suppress the devils in the east of the river. ”

"Captain! Just give the order! Our 4th Battalion has been looking forward to this battle for a long time! At the battalion headquarters, I'm almost out of the pot. Zheng Xiaohu said.

Shen Shaofan said: "Okay! Let Chief of Staff Sun explain the task first! ”

Sun Zhiyu stood up and walked to the edge of the map and said: "The tactic we used this time is to 'encircle the point and send reinforcements' to surround Gao Xing with heavy troops, the commander of the devil's 19th Division, Kono Left Guard, is in Gao Xing, once Gao Xing is surrounded by the Japanese army of Gu Lu and Gong Road, we will fight an ambush on the way, eliminate the devil's life, fight, and then attack Gong Road first, then take Gu Road, and finally eliminate the little devil in Gaohang County." ”

Shen Shaofan said: "I order!" The 1st Battalion Huang Junjie Ambushed the Tianma Temple to block the devils who came out of Gong Road, the 2nd Battalion of Nie Yufeng Ambushed the Sancha Forest to block the devils who came out of Gu Lu, and the 4th Battalion Zheng Xiaohu set up an ambush outside Gong Lu City, remember that you are not allowed to shoot without an order. The 3rd Battalion of Zhao Meng's Department ambushed Gu Lu, and outside the city was also not allowed to shoot without my order. Independent Column Su Li Division; The teaching column was led by Chief of Staff Sun; The pre-cadre column was led by the deputy commander of the block, the three major columns mainly attacked Gaoxing, and the artillery company Zhang Liang's department also set up an ambush outside Gaoxing City. Yuan Feng's 5th Battalion and Bai Xiaolong's Special Service Company; Duan Louyun's reconnaissance company, including Song Qing's guard company, was all on standby for reserve troops. The Jiang Luo Division of the Rifle Company of the Logistics Column has cooperated with the 412th Artillery Brigade to go to Shadaowan to prepare to block the Japanese armored troops coming out of the road, and the regimental headquarters is located in this fruit forest. The mortars of the whole regiment were all concentrated outside Gonglu County, and Zhang Rongwei, deputy commander of the artillery company, led the team, and the time for attacking Gaoxing was scheduled for 1:00 a.m. tomorrow. ”

"Yes!" The officers present all stood up solemnly.

Not long after the meeting was dispersed, Liu Feng and Zhang Zhiheng came to Shaofan's regimental headquarters, and as soon as they entered the door, Zhang Zhiheng said with a smile: "It seems that we didn't catch up with your military meeting!" ”

"Hey, hey! You're here to give me a lot of face as an old classmate. Shaofan said with a smile.

Liu Feng said: "Shaofan! Do you have any more requirements? ”

"Drink! It's a bit like a commander. Shaofan smiled: "Okay! I'm short of people now, you transfer your 31st Division to me as well. ”

"That's not going to work!" Liu Feng said: "The 31st Division will also take over Gongcheng behind your National Youth League!" ”

"Haha......" Shen Shaofan smiled and pointed at Liu Feng and said, "The same way it has been." Lip service! ”

Zhang Zhiheng said questioningly: "Shaofan, I don't understand something?" Isn't it very good for us to defend the defense line in Hudong, why do we want to mobilize our troops to attack the three cities? ”

Shen Shaofan said: "You have all participated in the battle on the Hudong defense line!" How do you feel? ”

"Intense!" Willow Wind Road.

Zhang Zhiheng said: "Difficult! ”

"Yes!" Shen Shaofan said: "Because our Hudong defense line does not have a natural barrier as the basis for defense, so we face the devil's tank; Heavy artillery doesn't seem to have any way. On the Hudong defensive line, there was the blood of the officers and men of the eight divisions and the chasm formed by their flesh and blood, but the price of such a defense line was the blood and lives of the soldiers. If we can take advantage of the momentum of victory in the defensive battle to break through the three cities in one fell swoop, we will have the dangerous place of the canal, which will become the defensive foundation of our defense line in eastern Hudong. ”

Zhang Zhiheng and Liu Feng both nodded, and Liu Feng said, "I have admired you the most since Huangpu." You'll succeed this time. ”

"Thank you!" Shaofan said earnestly.

Shen Shaofan sat at the finger of the regiment and waited for the time to pass, as if he was waiting for the fate of his life to turn around, so anxious and uneasy.

Chen Chen brought him a cup of coffee and said, "True Italian coffee, drink a cup!" ”

Shen Shaofan took the coffee and took a sip, and couldn't help but think of the events of his youth, and said with a smile: "Achen, you know how I feel now, just like the feeling of getting into trouble in our middle school and waiting to be scolded." ”

"Hehe...... Chen Chen smiled: "That's not very good. You will use your cleverness to help us save the day every time, so you can do it this time. ”

Shen Shaofan smiled again, took a sip of coffee and said, "It's a pity to drink such a good coffee in an aluminum lunch box." As he spoke, he took out a pack of Hademen from his pocket and handed it to Chen Chen, which was given to him by his eldest brother Shaolong when he left for India. At this time, he really missed his father; The eldest brother and the second brother.

"Report! Calls from various ministries. All units arrived at the designated combat positions. ”

Shen Shaofan looked at the time, took a deep breath of cigarette, and couldn't help but stand up, Chen Chen also looked at his watch and found that there were still five minutes left before the time to attack Gao Xing. Shen Shaofan knew in his heart that his offensive plan was nothing more than a big adventure, because he was in Gao Xing; Gu Lu; There are still nearly 30,000 Japanese troops and an extremely effective armored force in the three cities of Gonglu, and once there is only one mistake, it is very likely that the entire National Youth League will fall into a catastrophe. The only thing he could do now was pray for a little good luck for him and the troops.

At this time, Zhang Wenshan walked in and said, "Commander! Time's up! ”

Shen Shaofan nodded, straightened his military uniform, walked to the telephone, picked up the telephone, took a deep breath and said, "Order!" Gao Xingbu attacks! ”

"Yes!" Zhang Liang received an order: "Artillery company!" Ready-to-launch-! ”

"Put!" "Put!" "Put!"

More than 200 German-style artillery pieces roared at the Japanese positions on the periphery of Gaoxing at the same time, and the outlying positions of the 19th Division, which were lined with pillboxes, immediately fell into a sea of fire.

"Beautiful!" Seeing the chaos on the devil's position, he excitedly said to Sun Zhiyu: "Zhiyu! Let's go! ”

Sun Zhiyu nodded and said, "Okay!" ”

Blocking the sky and starting to be eager to try. At this time, Su Li stood up and said, "Deputy head of the regiment; Chief of Staff, let's go first in the independent column! ”

Sun Zhiyu and Block Tianfang were shocked at the same time, and Tianfang said: "Su Li, although the forward position of the Japanese army has been plowed several times by the artillery company, the firepower point on that position is still very solid. ”

Su Li smiled and said: "All the officers and men of our independent column have had the intention of dying since they started fighting in Shanghai, but they are bent on washing away our original sins in Jinling. ”

At this time, an officer ran in and shouted at Su Li: "Column leader, the independent column has been assembled. ”

"Good!" Su Li responded and glanced at Sun Zhiyu and Du Tian, then turned around and walked out of the camp, Sun Zhiyu saw that the officer was their old classmate Wei Kang from the Whampoa period.

Wei Kang smiled, walked up to Sun Zhiyu, took out the Zhongzheng Sword, and said with a smile: "Old classmate, if I die, please help me ask our head Shen Shaofan, if I can enter the Martyrs' Hall like our brothers in the National Youth League." As he spoke, he put the Zhongzheng Sword on the table and turned his head away.

At this time, the 1st detachment of the independent column on the first line of the Gaoxing front line had already begun the first charge, and under the leadership of the detachment leader, they braved the dense firepower network of the devils and rushed towards the forward position of the devils outside Gaoxing County, but the firepower of the devils on the forward position was too fierce, and in less than 15 minutes, a detachment of more than 1,000 people fought less than 300 people, but there was still a gap of 30 meters on the edge of the devil's forward position.

The gunfire stopped, the battle took a breath for a moment, Su Li looked at the soldiers who fell in front of the devil's position, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Thirty meters!" Thirty meters away! Why can't you rush it? ”

The forward position of the 19th Division at Gaohang was a 'C'-shaped semi-circular defensive trench, divided into three main trenches and several communication tunnels, with nearly 30 machine-gun bunkers. There are also more than a dozen pillboxes built on the ground, forming a firepower network to block the front line, the most important thing is that in the middle of the position, there is a large pillbox about three stories high, facing the National Youth League, there are about ten shooting holes, all equipped with the devil's Type 92 7.7mm heavy machine gun, once fired, it is as hideous as a monster spraying ten tongues of fire.

Xiao Dongtian said: "There are less than 300 people left in the 1st detachment with heavy casualties. The devil's firepower was too fierce, mainly because the firepower network in the bunker blocked the entire area. ”

Su Li said categorically: "You must pull out this T-word!" ”

Wei Kang couldn't help but say on the side: "Team Su, let us go to the detachment directly under us!" There are still thirty meters, I don't believe it, and I can't smash the devil's firepower net with a thousand lives. ”

At this time, the words of the leader of the 1st detachment were transmitted from the remnants of the 1st detachment, which was pressed by the devil's fire net 30 meters away: "Brothers, there are still 30 meters. Many of my brothers are dead, but we still have to rush, don't let the little devils look down. Divided into three teams, one team rushed to the left flank of the devil, one team rushed to the right flank of the devil, and one team followed me to rush forward with all the grenades, and I must earn breath for our original 12th Division. As he spoke, he saw the leader of the 1st team leaning up, holding a bundle of grenades in his hand and shouting, "Fight with the little devil." ”

"Kill!" "Little devil, Lao Tzu fought with you!" A shout of killing sounded at the front again, and a detachment of less than 300 people was divided into three directions, and rushed to the devil's position, and the soldiers in front of them did not even take a gun, and rushed forward desperately with a bundle of grenades.

"The detachment is up again." An adjutant shouted.

Su Li looked towards the front line of the battlefield, only to see that the soldiers rushing from the two wings were obviously attracting firepower, and a group of soldiers fell under the devil's machine gun, and the soldiers in the middle held the grenade, taking advantage of the devil's firepower, they jumped into the devil's position at a speed of 100 meters when the devil's firepower was exhausted, pulled the grenade on their body, jumped into the devil's bunker, and died with the devils, 300 officers and soldiers of the 1st detachment tore the devil's firepower net with their own flesh and blood, but none of them survived.

Su Li looked at this scene with hot eyes and shouted, "Wei Kang brought your people to pull out the big bunker for me." ”

"Yes!"

Su Li said again: "The whole team is ready." When the direct detachment knocked on all the bunkers of the devils, I rushed up to avenge the brothers of the dead detachment. ”

"Yes!"
