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

Chapter 476 Tragic

"Look here, thirty kilometers behind us, this is the location of Sanwan River."

Ye Feng pointed at the map and continued:

"Captain Liang and his men have already blocked the upper reaches of the Sanwan River to store water. When the enemy gathers here, they can dig up the dam and use this water attack to cause considerable casualties."

"So our mission for the next two days is to block the Japanese in Sanwan River and wait for an opportunity to launch a water attack."

The only pity now is that it hasn’t rained in the past few days.

Without rain, the water volume of Sanwan River will not surge. Even if the river embankment is dug up, the impact of the water flow will not be strong.

Commander Ye said, "Why don't we take turns leading a company to fight against the Japanese vanguard attack force?"

Ye Feng shook his head and said, "Commander, you have to command from the rear. I have a feeling that the Japanese seem to have some hidden conspiracy and we need to be on guard."

Commander Ye said, "The goals of both the enemy and us are the same. The Japanese want to invade Shanghai, and we want to keep Shanghai."

The meaning is self-evident.

No matter what conspiracy the Japanese had, their target was definitely in Shanghai.

Ye Feng thought for a moment and said, "Commander, I will be in charge of the front line, you return to Shanghai City to take charge."

After some discussion, Commander Ye agreed, because they both realized that the Japanese still had a powerful naval force that had not been deployed!

As of now, there is no news about the Japanese Second Fleet.

This is so unusual.

From the outer waters, it can directly launch long-range attacks on the urban area of ​​Shanghai, and the Japanese Second Fleet can also carry out landing operations.

Commander Ye left, and because he had too few troops, he only brought back one company.

How can such a small number of people stop the Japanese Second Fleet?

Ye Feng also gave a suggestion, asking Liu Wei, who was in charge of military supplies, to immediately cooperate, contribute money and effort, and recruit new soldiers. It would be best if they could expand a company to a regiment in a short period of time.

The only thing that is not lacking in the city of Shanghai is people.

As for a group of rookie soldiers, how much combat effectiveness can they have?

Facing a powerful enemy, there is no time to think. Some people have money and can at least carry out some defense.

After Commander Ye left, Ye Feng began to issue combat orders one by one.

"Platoon Leader Luo, you are responsible for contacting Captain Fan and have his ships prepare for battle. Once the signal flares appear, immediately launch artillery strikes towards the position. Remember, you can only hit half of the base each time."

"Zhou Dashan, Xiao Jiguang, Song Yu, Lu Ping, Zheng Hua, you go and integrate the troops now, and each of you will be responsible for a company."

"In order of priority, these companies will take turns cooperating with me to stop the enemy."

"The remaining troops, including the wounded, will all be transferred to the defensive positions in the rear as reserves, awaiting combat orders at any time."

"Tell the soldiers that the country is in danger and Shanghai is on the verge of collapse. The national anti-Japanese situation is not optimistic. Under this circumstance, every Chinese man must fight to the death with the invaders to defend his country. We must not lose face for our Chinese nation or bring shame to our ancestors. They are just descendants of Japanese pirates, but they want to completely enslave our ancient civilization of thousands of years. They are dreaming!"

"Shenzhou will not perish."

"Among the men of China, not a single one is a coward."

……

Just as the anti-Japanese armed fighters were ready, tens of thousands of Japanese troops on the opposite side also launched an attack.

Ye Feng and Brigade Commander Zhou Dashan, with a company of soldiers, guarded the fourth line of defense.

Because before the battle started, Ye Feng used the strategy of seeing enemies everywhere. He first let everyone appear to bluff the Japanese so that they could not judge the number of people defending the front line, and then he let the soldiers crawl out.

Therefore, in the eyes of the Japanese commanders, what they were facing at this time were still several thousand anti-Japanese armed forces.

"Boom!"

When the battle started, the Japanese used the same old "three-pronged approach" of artillery bombardment.

After two consecutive rounds of bombing, the Japanese machine gun positions on the left and right also began to show their power and suppress the enemy with firepower.

Then two infantry battalions, totaling 4000 Japanese soldiers, were divided into two parts and charged towards the position. Contrary to Ye Feng's expectations, this group of Japanese soldiers did not charge mindlessly, nor did they rush forward blindly.

They still adopted the model of groups of five to form combat teams.

"beat!"

Ye Feng fired the first shot, and other soldiers began to fight back.

As the brigade commander, Zhou Dashan led 200 soldiers and was responsible for the south side of the position where there was less pressure, which was close to the river bank.

Ye Feng led the remaining 50 soldiers to guard the north side of the position.

Because the Japanese side were a group of elite veterans who had been on the battlefield for a long time and had strong combat effectiveness, half an hour later, the south side of the position began to be in danger. Seeing that a large number of Japanese devils were about to rush forward, Zhou Dashan could only order the 200 people to be divided into four groups of 50 people each, and began to cover each other in the trench fortifications, constantly resisting and retreating step by step.

When Ye Feng saw this, he could only start retreating.

Ye Feng continued to fight bravely. He alone blocked a Japanese infantry battalion.

Within half an hour, thousands of enemies were killed.

In the following time, there was a short-range exchange of fire within the fourth line, and both sides fought a desperate battle.

In the end, the fourth position was lost.

Ye Feng, who was killing people everywhere, was still firing at full power, and he killed more than two thousand enemies in this battle.

The Japanese continued their offensive and sent in another battalion of troops in an attempt to wear down the anti-Japanese forces.

After entering the fifth line of defense, a company led by Xiao Jiguang also came forward to provide support.

As for Zhou Dashan's company, there were less than 50 people alive at this time.

Before dawn.

The fifth line of defense was lost, and Ye Feng and his men could only retreat to the sixth line of defense further back.

A company supported by Xiao Jiguang was almost wiped out.

"Commander, it seems to be more advantageous for us to fight on these lines of defense!"

Zhou Dashan and Xiao Jiguang both retreated to rest. At this time, Song Yu came up with a company.

"For every line of defense we lose, the enemy will suffer 2000 casualties."

"If we continue to fight like this, it won't be long before all the tens of thousands of Japanese troops are wiped out."

Facing Song Yu's excited expression, Ye Feng's face was filled with exhaustion, pain, and helplessness...

Song Yu was right. Every time the enemy broke through a line of defense, they would leave behind 2000 corpses.

But who killed these enemies?

"Captain Song, how about I retreat to the back first, and you take full responsibility for command, defense and killing the enemy?"

Ye Feng said jokingly:

"As long as the company you lead can kill 2000 enemies, I will personally ask the leaders in Yan'an for credit for you."

"..."

Song Yu's face suddenly turned dark. What a joke! Facing thousands of elite Japanese veterans, his company, without a super agent like Ye Feng in charge, could only hold out for half an hour if he was lucky.

Song Yu was of course very clear that in last night's battle, the fifth and sixth lines of defense were lost successively, and more than 4000 Japanese corpses were lying there, more than % of which were the result of Ye Feng alone.

"Commander, you have been fighting continuously for nearly a month. Can you still hold on?" Song Yu asked with concern.

"You can't die yet!"

Ye Feng rubbed his heavy eyelids and said in a haggard voice, "In the offensive and defensive battle last night, the Japanese lost thousands of lives before they managed to capture the two defensive lines we dug. Now their military commander has probably discovered the problem, and today's battle is expected to be even more brutal."
