Chapter 437: Japanese Army Invasion
Chapter 437: Japanese Army Invasion
"These little devils are so cruel!"
In the Shanghai Building, Ye Feng looked at the latest telegram in his hand and said, "I thought the Japanese would gather at most four divisions to attack Shanghai. I didn't expect that the Japanese headquarters would be so crazy as to mobilize five divisions, all of which are the elite troops of the Kwantung Army, with more than 10 troops."
"The enemy has drawn the 3rd, 5th, 7th and 11th Divisions from the southwestern battlefield, as well as the Yamamoto Division that moved south from the Central Plains."
"Among them, the Fifth Division and the Yamamoto Division are the strongest, especially the Yamamoto Division, which rampaged through the Central Plains battlefield. Back then, the two armies of the Yamashiro troops were defeated by it in a head-on battle."
"It is said that their division commander, Yamamoto Ikki, has studied abroad for many years and is good at long-distance blitzkrieg."
"General Ye, how do you think these five Japanese divisions will attack Shanghai?"
……
In the "Battle of Shanghai" that year, Japan dispatched nine divisions, two brigades and several fully-staffed detachments, with a total force of nearly 30.
However, the Shenzhou troops, with more than 50 troops, still lost the defensive battle.
The current situation is even more disadvantageous.
Ye Feng and his men only have an independent full-strength division of 2 people, with a total of six regiments.
On the Japanese side, there are now five fully-staffed divisions, with a total force of more than 10 people.
In terms of military strength.
Japan, on the other hand, has five times as many, not to mention that they are elite veterans, plus they have terrifying weapons and firepower.
Commander Ye looked at the map and analyzed:
"The Japanese should be advancing in three directions, with the central army consisting of three divisions, attacking all the way from the west."
"One division on each side will march from the north and south of Shanghai respectively."
While speaking, Commander Ye drew three attack marks on the map with a pencil.
Ye Feng smiled and said, "If the Japanese attack like this, we can only use four regiments to deal with their three divisions."
"Gather two more regiments, one in the north and one in the south, to block the other two Japanese divisions."
A Shenzhou group, 3000 people.
VS
A Japanese division, 2.5 people.
Ye Feng and Commander Ye looked at each other, and they both smiled in tacit understanding, with deep helplessness on their faces.
3000 new recruits against 2.5 veteran invaders, no matter how you look at it, the outcome is bound to be a defeat.
"I will organize the resistance against the Japanese Central Army."
Commander Ye continued:
"Captain Ye, you have a heavier responsibility. You need to use a regiment of troops to quickly wipe out the Japanese division coming from the south."
"After destroying them, immediately return to support, march north, and defeat the Yamamoto Division."
"Finally, we will have to join forces with the central route and fight the final decisive battle with the three divisions in the middle route of Japan."
Ye Feng's face twitched and he said, "General Ye, your mission is too difficult, isn't it?"
Commander Ye said, "I can't help it. You are a super agent with such fierce fighting power. The greater your ability, the greater your responsibility. I believe that with your ability, it should be more than enough to defeat two Japanese divisions in a row."
If it weren’t for the large amount of poison gas bombs secretly seized from the Japanese “biological and chemical weapons island”.
Ye Feng really didn't dare to take on this task.
Commander Ye added, "The one advancing from the south is most likely the Japanese Fifth Division. We can defeat the enemy from here."
Commander Ye pointed the pen in his hand at an area.
Jinshan Bridge.
The location is near Jinshan Town in the south of Shanghai.
The terrain around this bridge is slightly low. From south to north, after crossing the bridge, there is a dirt road that gradually rises.
The dirt road is about ten meters wide and goes up for about two kilometers.
On both sides of the road, there are earthen slopes more than two meters high. Some crops were originally planted on top of the slopes. Unfortunately, due to the war, the land had long been abandoned. In order to survive, farmers had to leave their homes and go to Shanghai to work and earn money.
After thinking about it, Ye Feng said, "The earth slopes on both sides are not high enough and are still not suitable for an ambush."
The earthen slope is more than two meters high. A veteran on the battlefield can easily climb it with a few charge steps.
If the troops were ambushed here, there would definitely be a close combat scene.
When it comes to bayonet fighting, the Japanese still have an absolute advantage.
Not every Shenzhou soldier knew Kung Fu, and it was normal for the untrained Shenzhou soldiers to suffer losses in a bayonet fight with the specially trained Japanese soldiers.
Commander Ye asked, "With this terrain and the biochemical gas bombs, are we sure we can defeat the Fifth Division?"
Ye Feng said, "We can't defeat them. Once the battle starts, we have the advantage of terrain and can kill a certain number of enemies. But when the Japanese react, their veterans will quickly organize defenses, break through the blockade, and rush up the slope, and our advantage will be gone."
Such narrow terrain is not suitable for using biological and chemical gas bombs to kill the enemy.
Toxic smoke spread.
The troops on our side would also be corroded by the poisonous smoke, which would mean killing one thousand enemies but losing eight hundred of our own.
Ye Feng added, "General Ye, I think we can surround and annihilate the enemy here."
The dirt road goes north all the way and ends here.
It is a large piece of flat wasteland.
Commander Ye understood what he meant and said, "You mean, if the disguised ambush fails, let the devils chase all the way, and then suddenly detonate the biological and chemical gas bomb to divide the battlefield into two parts, and then eat up the Japanese vanguard in one bite."
Ye Feng nodded and said, "We will use poison gas bombs to block the road and burn the dry grass on both sides of the dirt road to block the Japanese rear troops on the two-kilometer dirt road. We will then send people to go around and blow up the Jinshan Bridge. The Japanese will have no choice but to organize defense on the spot."
"If they want to defend themselves, we can use biological and chemical gas bombs to bombard them again."
"The poisonous smoke that rolled around the narrow dirt road was the end of this Japanese division."
Commander Ye immediately saw the flaw in the plan and said:
"The Japanese vanguard force is at least a regiment of several thousand people. How can we ensure that it will be annihilated quickly?"
"Even if the vegetation on the slopes on both sides is burned, it is impossible to completely block it. How to solve this problem?"
"The last point is that poison gas tends to drift upwards. The Japanese are at the bottom of the terrain, so our soldiers at the top may be the first to suffer from the poison gas."
Ye Feng’s answer was simple.
Organize a death squad of 500 people.
Wear a gas mask.
Let this sharp knife penetrate the heart of the Japanese.
As for the poisonous smoke drifting upwards, this is even simpler. When launching biological and chemical gas bombs, you can bomb locations with lower terrain.
No explosion or casualties are sought.
Demonstrate the terrifying power of biological and chemical poisonous smoke to the greatest extent.
"A suicide squad of 500 people?"
Commander Ye stared at Ye Feng and said seriously, "Commander Ye, you don't want to be the captain of this death squad, do you?"
Ye Feng asked, "Besides me, who else can do this?"
Commander Ye said, "You are the military commander. If something happens to you, who will lead the troops?"
Ye Feng said, "I will bring Comrade Song Yu's Third Regiment with me. Even if I am injured, Captain Song can continue to command."
Then, Ye Feng gave another reason that could not be refuted.
His fighting power alone.
It can rival hundreds of fighters.
Even if he was given enough time, Ye Feng was confident that he alone could defeat a Japanese regiment of several thousand people.
This is the confidence of a super agent.
