Are you a spy? Killing the enemy is too cruel.

Chapter 501: Entering Anhui to Fight

Outside Jinling City.

"Commander, we have already marched forward and have been waiting for three days. Why don't we launch an attack on the Japanese?"

Song Yu looked confused and continued, "The two Japanese divisions that were originally going to be transferred from the southwest battlefield turned back because of the counterattack of the Shancheng troops and the heavy pressure on the front line. Now in Jinling City, the Japanese are at their weakest. We must seize this opportunity!"

How many Japanese devils are there in Jinling City now?

Ye Feng and his men fought their way over from the east, and the surrounding counties and towns were deserted by the Japanese soldiers.

All the Japanese invaders from hundreds of kilometers around gathered in Jinling City.

There were also tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers who withdrew from Suzhou City and retreated westwards into Nanjing City.

It can be imagined that there were at least more than 30,000 devils in the city at that time, coupled with their elite weapons and equipment and terrifying firepower output. It was not an easy task to break through the city of Jinling.

If it were any other frontline battlefield.

Facing 10,000 anti-Japanese armed forces, they were a group of new recruits who had just entered the battlefield.

The Japanese had already come out.

A Japanese division.

Under normal circumstances, at least five ordinary divisions of Shenzhou are needed to barely contend with it.

With 5 times the number of troops, if they want to annihilate a Japanese mechanized division in a field battle, forget it.

Why are the Japanese still hiding in Nanjing? Why are they pretending to defend it to the death?

the reason is simple.

Because in the anti-Japanese armed forces opposite them, there is a super agent named "Ye Feng".

During the Battle of Shanghai, the Japanese sent out several divisions and hundreds of thousands of troops, divided into three armies. What was the result? All three armies were defeated by the independent reorganized division led by Ye Feng.

According to the Japanese post-war statistics, Ye Feng alone had killed tens of thousands of enemies.

The Japanese were frightened.

Even though they had the advantage in numbers, weapons, and firepower, they did not dare to charge again.

The order issued by the Japanese High Command is also very interesting:

"Telegram to the troops in Jinling City. From now on, they are not allowed to leave the city to fight. They must defend Jinling City to the death. There must be no mistakes!"

It can be said that the fear of Ye Feng has penetrated into the bones of many Japanese devils.

"Captain Song, if you were asked to be in charge of this siege battle, what would you do?" Ye Feng asked back.

"storm!"

"We now have enough artillery shells, and we can launch a massive bombardment on the enemy's defensive positions."

"As long as we can create a gap, we can charge in."

"Commander, if you lead the charge at a certain cost, we will definitely be able to recapture Jinling City."

After listening, Ye Feng smiled and asked, "How much do you think we will pay? How many people will die in the battle?"

Song Yu said, "With the casualties of the two regiments, we should be able to capture Jinling City!"

Ye Feng asked again, "Where are the people in the city?"

Song Yu, "..."

In his opinion, the battle had reached this point and the two armies were already fighting to the death.

Where is the extra time, energy and manpower to protect the people in the city?

Ye Feng explained, "Jinling City is not comparable to Suzhou City. It is the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties. The city walls are tall and solid. Even artillery shells cannot blow them open. It is not easy to blast a gap, especially now that the Japanese are united against the enemy. The enemy's morale is high and they are determined to keep us out of the city. If the two sides bombard each other, I am afraid that before we enter the city, we will have killed and injured countless soldiers."

"We need to fight for Jinling City, but not now. We need other troops to help share the firepower."

Ye Feng’s plan was simple.

The troops in the southwestern mountain city have been launching a counterattack in recent days under the command of the old man.

In order to deal with the hundreds of thousands of troops in the mountain city, the Japanese had to draw troops from all over.

There are also troops from the Northwest Headquarters who are constantly counterattacking, as if they are about to launch a large-scale attack on the Central Plains.

The Japanese are now vulnerable on all sides, their military strength is already insufficient, and they have to face pressure on several fronts, and are already showing signs of fatigue.

But as the saying goes, a trapped beast will still fight and still have the strength to kill.

The more tense the situation became, the more ferocious the Japanese attacks became, regardless of whether they were afraid of death or not.

So Ye Feng didn't want his troops to sacrifice in vain.

He wanted hundreds of thousands of Yamaguchi troops to lead the charge and withstand most of the Japanese firepower.

"Commander, do you mean that we just wait here? Do nothing?" Niu Chujun said.

"Jinling City will be recovered sooner or later, but not at this point in time."

Ye Feng told his plan, "We will leave an area ten kilometers behind us. The Japanese will be worried that we are setting an ambush, so they will definitely not dare to leave the city and attack actively."

"Captain Song, you are responsible for staying here and confronting the Japanese from a distance."

"I secretly took a regiment of troops and quickly marched south to join the Fourth Front Army."

"We will try to sweep across southern Anhui as quickly as possible and recover all parts of Anhui."

"Finally, we will march our troops northwards and attack Jinling City in one fell swoop."

……

Brigade Commander Zhou Dashan led 10,000 people and set out from Shanghai to fight in Anhui.

The Fourth Front Army in southern Anhui also cooperated, turning from defense to offense and launching a strike against Japan.

But after these days, the situation in southern Anhui is not good.

In other words, the combined efforts of the Shanghai Independent Reorganized Division and the Fourth Front Army were unable to carve out a path within Anhui.

The reasons are complicated.

First, the Japanese military power remains strong and difficult to shake.

Second, the Fourth Front Army had just been established and had been constantly being chased and blocked by the Japanese. It had simple weapons and a lack of ammunition. Even basic survival supplies were a problem, and its combat effectiveness was limited.

Third, after the troops led by Zhou Qingshan arrived, they were unfamiliar with the terrain, which resulted in them being passive in every battle.

The last and most important reason is that the army lacks a super agent like Ye Feng.

Yes.

Without Ye Feng's terrifying individual combat capability and his ability to capture cities and strongholds, the troops would not be able to gain any advantage when facing the Japanese army.

This can be seen from the battle of attacking Suzhou City. If it weren't for Ye Feng, it would be a daydream to want to capture Suzhou City with only 10,000 new soldiers.

Deputy regiment commander Zheng Hua said worriedly, "Division Commander, what if the Japanese refuse to believe in evil and rush out from Nanjing City?"

The implication.

Without you, the division commander, once the battle begins, we will most likely not be able to withstand the frenzied attack of the Japanese.

Ye Feng said, "Don't worry. The main forces of the Japanese army are basically in the northwest and southwest. Even the main forces of the Japanese Kwantung Army in Jinling City are estimated to be assembled and transferred at any time to support other battlefields. At this time, the enemies in the city are even less willing to fight with us."

Afterwards, Ye Feng temporarily appointed Zheng Hua as the commander of the Third Regiment and Niu Chujun as the deputy commander of the Third Regiment. He immediately assembled the troops and prepared to move south secretly.

Because they had to march quickly and cover hundreds of miles, the soldiers selected for the Third Regiment were the best of the best.

"Captain Song, in order to confuse the Japanese devils' sight, there is no need to dig fortifications outside the city."

"You just set up camp and adopt a defensive strategy of loose outside and tight inside."

"Oh, and we need to find a good way to retreat so that we can react immediately if the enemy attacks us."

"Anyway, if you stay here, it looks like you are planning to ambush the devils in Jinling City."

That night.

After arranging everything, Ye Feng, Zheng Hua, Niu Chujun, and a regiment of 3000 people set off.

As for the reconnaissance battalion commander Luo Daqian, he has already headed south to carry out various reconnaissance and intelligence work.

along the way.

Military intelligence information about the battle in Anhui was sent to Ye Feng one by one.
