Chapter 451 The golden cicada escapes from its shell
"Commander, the village we are in is called Majia Village. To the east is the coast, to the south is a plain, and to the southwest is the small town of Huangpu."
"There are no mountains or rivers around, only some streams. The enemy's Yamamoto Division is a mechanized division with a motorized fleet. The terrain is extremely unfavorable to us."
"The only advantage was that we wiped out the Japanese independent mixed division that came from the northeast and dug a lot of defensive trenches. We used these positions to resist step by step and managed to hold out for a while."
After listening to the words of the regiment commander Xiao Jiguang, Ye Feng thought for a while and asked, "Commander Xiao, you have been fighting with the Yamamoto Division for several days. In your opinion, where will the enemy attack from? How many armies are they divided into? What is the target of the attack?"
Xiao Jiguang said, "The Japanese division commander is very calculating and has a very high level of command. He will not follow our routine. If we want to open up a defense line in Huangpu Town, Yamamoto Ikki will most likely split his troops into two groups, one to attack head-on and the other to form an encirclement from behind."
"There are no steep mountains around Huangpu Town. They can attack from different directions and divide their forces into four groups to surround us."
"Commander, if we really want to defend the town, we will be in a passive position and even risk being completely surrounded."
If we are really surrounded on all sides.
With the powerful artillery force of the Japanese division, let alone the strength of only one regiment, even a division would find it difficult to withstand the enemy's fierce attack.
Head-on firefight.
In this era, the Japanese have always had the advantage.
Faced with the terrifying firepower of an enemy division, if it were on any other frontline battlefield, their Shenzhou troops would need at least five times the number of troops to fight against the Japanese. Even so, winning or losing would be another matter!
In response to Xiao Jiguang's analysis, Ye Feng only raised a question, "If we don't open up a front in the town, how can we stop the attack of the Yamamoto Division?"
Xiao Jiguang was speechless. It was really just the northern outskirts of Shanghai, and there was no depth at all!
This is neither the southwest nor the northwest. There are no towering mountains and no steep mountain roads.
The terrain is almost flat everywhere.
This is the most suitable place for Japanese mechanized divisions to fight.
Ye Feng added, "Huangpu Town, this evil place full of filth and dirt, must be the burial place of the Japanese."
Xiao Jiguang asked in confusion, "Commander, what exactly is your strategy?"
Ye Feng said, "After luring the snake into the trap, we will use the golden cicada to escape, and finally make the entire town and the enemy disappear into thin air."
Xiao Jiguang could easily understand the phrase "lure the snake into the trap", which meant luring the Yamamoto Division into the town.
Escape?
Countless questions arose in Xiao Jiguang's mind. By then, they had been surrounded and blocked by the Japanese. How could they escape?
Ye Feng smiled and lowered his voice and asked, "Captain Xiao, what is this town? Who are the people living here?"
Xiao Jiguang said, "As far as I know, there are countless criminals gathered here. They are engaged in various businesses such as murder, robbery, smuggling, gambling, etc. Almost everyone has the blood of innocent lives on their hands."
Ye Feng asked again, "Since they are all desperate criminals, they must have many enemies. In order to prevent assassination, will they prepare some means of escape? Can they retreat decisively when encountering danger?"
Xiao Jiguang nodded and said, "Yes, as the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three burrows. These desperate criminals have various ways to escape."
Ye Feng continued, "Does this mean that there is a secret tunnel in the town that leads to the outside world?"
what……
Xiao Jiguang's eyes suddenly widened in shock and disbelief.
"Division Commander, what you mean is that we pretend to be surrounded by Yamamoto's division and trapped in the town, making it difficult to break out."
"When the Japanese army arrives, we will escape through the secret tunnel."
"Finally, use the terrifying biological and chemical gas bombs to detonate them in the town and completely eliminate the enemy?"
Ye Feng said, "This time, I will prepare 200 biological and chemical gas bombs for the Yamamoto Division. One gas bomb can kill 1 devils, and 100 gas bombs can also eliminate more than 200 people in the Yamamoto Division."
Xiao Jiguang said, "It's not easy to get Yamamoto Ikki to fall into the trap we set!"
Ye Feng said, "So you, Captain Xiao, need to act and confront Yamamoto Ikki. Act like you are ready to fight to the death with him. You need to let Yamamoto Ikki know that you, Captain Xiao, are determined to lead your men and fight the devils to the death. You have no intention of returning to Shanghai alive. Even if you die in battle, Yamamoto Ikki will not have an easy life."
Xiao Jiguang frowned and asked, "Commander, if this happens, our losses will be very serious."
Ye Feng said, "I secretly brought 1200 people this time. Together with your 2500 people, we have nearly 4000 soldiers. If we lose at most 1000 soldiers, we will retreat to the town's defense line."
Xiao Jiguang was anxious, "Division Commander, since you are here to support us, this battle should be led by you."
Ye Feng said, "If I lead the team, the combat style will change. The cunning and smart Yamamoto Ikki will easily see the problem. Don't worry, I will lead the others to dig trenches in the town."
Ye Feng’s task is not easy either.
In addition to preparing defensive positions, they also had to clean out the desperate criminals in the town and prepare secret tunnels for escape at any time.
Xiao Jiguang said again, "Commander, with your ability as a single soldier, why don't you go and assassinate Yamamoto Ikki?"
Ye Feng said, "It's too late. A commander like Yamamoto Ikki will definitely make a lot of arrangements when he realizes his life is in danger, such as setting up multiple fake headquarters, hiding himself in the army, and trying to detect a few enemy division commanders among the densely packed Japanese soldiers. Not only is it time-consuming and laborious, it may end up with half the result with twice the effort, and the success rate of "beheading" is extremely low."
Of course, if there is a good opportunity, Ye Feng doesn't mind shooting the enemy's supreme commander away with one shot.
A battalion of soldiers was selected and placed under the command of Xiao Jiguang, while Ye Feng led the rest of the troops and rushed to the town.
The so-called Huangpu Town did not have this name in the past. It was originally called Huangpu Town, named because of the countless small shops on the town streets. Although the town is small, it has everything it needs, and there are many merchants coming and going. It was once a bustling commercial town.
Unfortunately, the Japanese invaders came and burned, killed and looted everywhere.
In order to survive, the people of the small town had to move to Shanghai with their families, and the town was deserted.
Because this place is close to Shanghai city and is not under the jurisdiction of the city, various forces began to gather and grow.
Today, it has become a "sin town."
