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

Chapter 471 Temporary Battlefield Meeting

A night raid.

The total number of Japanese casualties exceeded 5,000, shattering the plan of the three Japanese divisions to launch a night attack and allowing the defending anti-Japanese armed forces to gain rare and precious rest time.

The enemy was very tired. They had marched thousands of miles from the mountains in the southwest battlefield to Shanghai.

But the soldiers on Ye Feng's side were even more tired, especially the three battalions of support troops he brought.

First there was the battle of Panshui River, then they went north to fight a fierce battle with the Yamamoto Division. Without a single day to rest, they immediately supported the battle in the west.

Many soldiers have been running and fighting for nearly ten days.

Even Ye Feng himself had bloodshot eyes and a haggard face. His physical and mental fatigue had almost reached the limit. The only reason he could still hold on was because of his belief in defending his country and killing the enemy.

When Ye Feng returned to the position alone, covered in blood, countless soldiers were throbbing with excitement and smiling.

At this time, an inappropriate voice sounded.

"Division Commander, the enemy's troops are in disarray and their morale is unstable. If we launch a second wave of surprise attacks at this point in time, we may be able to cause more casualties to the enemy's manpower."

"If the Japanese devils fail repeatedly, they will most likely retreat to rest and we can buy more time."

"For this battle to defend Shanghai, there are only benefits and no harm."

who said it?

Ye Feng took a quick glance and found that it was Liang Long, who had followed him before and whom Ye Feng had taught a lot of military command instructions.

If it weren't for the pain all over my body, as if every bone had been hit by a hammer, I would have little strength left in my body.

Ye Feng would definitely kick him and tell Liang Long, “Are you out of your head?”

Raid this kind of battle.

The enemy has been fooled once and learned a lesson. Will he give you another chance?

Do you really think that those high-ranking Japanese commanders are vegetarians?

Maybe!

At this time, the enemy also thinks that your anti-Japanese armed forces have won a great victory in a night attack and have relaxed their vigilance. They will suddenly send secret troops to sneak over and launch a reverse raid on you!

Ye Feng learned from the scanned map that although the Japanese camp looked chaotic and disorganized, the Japanese soldiers responsible for the security of the outer camp were already on high alert and able to deal with any situation.

At this time, if the anti-Japanese armed forces launched a night attack again, they would most likely never return.

Once we are caught by the Japanese, it is not a question of whether we can defend the position, but how many people can survive?

Has the advantage of fortifications.

Only the anti-Japanese armed forces with backward equipment and weapons could maintain a stalemate with the Japanese.

A real field firefight is going to take place.

Ye Feng estimated that the odds of winning were 0 to 10, with zero being his side and a 100 percent chance of winning being the Japanese devils.

When Ye Feng's murderous oppressive feeling hit Liang Long, his face changed and he dared not speak for a moment.

After resting, a group of regiment and battalion cadres also held an impromptu meeting in the trench.

"Comrades, we are now defending Shanghai, but we are also facing the danger of attack from a large enemy force. Our mission is simple: turn an area of ​​hundreds of miles into a battlefield to stop the enemy."

"For this purpose, we mobilized more than 100,000 civilians to dig trenches and fortifications in our rear day and night."

"After daybreak, the enemy will definitely not give up and will continue to launch fierce attacks."

"Now, you can all share your ideas." Commander Ye was the one who proposed this impromptu meeting. As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers. Everyone has their own ideas. Those present are all combat commanders from various units. They can brainstorm and see if they can come up with more strategies to fight the enemy.

After the question was raised, no one said a word and the scene fell into silence.

Ye Feng teased, "What's wrong? Are you all dumb? You are the cadres of the battalions and regiments, commanding hundreds of troops. If even you don't have any ideas about combat, how can this army win the battle?"

As soon as these words were spoken, it really aroused everyone's desire to win, and for a moment, many people began to talk about it.

"The Japanese have too much firepower, especially their heavy artillery. A howitzer can blow up an area of ​​hundreds of meters around it. It has great power and a wide range. If we want to stop the Japs' attack, we'd better think of a way to destroy several of their artillery positions. Without the firepower that can bombard us, our chances of winning this battle can be increased by at least 20%."

"The enemy's attack is most intense during the day, and is just loud at night. In fact, not many troops are involved. I think fighting at night is a big advantage for us. We can constantly harass the enemy and make them tired. In this way, our defensive pressure during the day will be greatly reduced."

"The Japanese should still have a force close to the enemy. Each time, two or three regiments come forward, and they can constantly change and attack in turns. To solve the pressure from the front, I think we can put pressure on them from behind and let them place some of their forces in the rear. My idea is to draw out a battalion, divide it into three companies, go around the enemy and fight desperately to attract one or two Japanese regiments and relieve the pressure of the front defense."

"Commander, division commander, we can take advantage of the darkness at night. When the enemy charges, we pretend to retreat, abandon several lines of defense, and then set up a pocket formation to eat up their vanguard in one fell swoop."

"Is this feasible? If we abandon our position, the Japanese army will continue to press forward, and our situation will become even more difficult."

"I think it's feasible. There will be more than a dozen defensive fortifications in this area of ​​hundreds of miles. If we abandon five lines of defense, we can eat up a 5000-man enemy regiment, which is very beneficial to us."

"In order to destroy the enemy's vanguard in a short period of time, we can place a large number of mines, explosives, etc. in the trenches. While encircling and annihilating them, we must also pay attention to encircling and attacking the reinforcements. If we act quickly enough, it will not be a problem to destroy an enemy company within a few hours."

"Commander, this area is densely covered with rivers and has a well-developed water system. I think we can use water attacks. Look, thirty miles behind us, this area is slightly lower and has three small rivers flowing from north to south. If we block the upper reaches and merge the water of the three small rivers, at the critical moment, let this stream of water rush down, even if it doesn't drown many Japanese soldiers, it will be enough to give them a hard time."

"I'm familiar with this place. The water in the three small rivers is indeed not enough. If it rains heavily, it will definitely form a powerful torrent. Combined with the trenches we have dug, it won't be a problem to drown two or three thousand Japanese soldiers."

"Looking at the weather, there may be heavy rain in the next few days. We can plan and deploy in advance."

……

Listening to everyone's discussion, Ye Feng and Commander Ye looked at each other, both with smiles on their faces and admiration in their eyes.

The commanders of this group of mid-level military cadres are quite thoughtful.

After this "Battle of Shanghai", I believe that each of them will be able to improve a lot after experiencing the baptism of war.

In the future, Ye Feng also believed that everyone present would be a core member of the "Shanghai City Base".
