Chapter 591 Sabotage
"Commander, the area of Jinling city is too large. We only have two divisions. It will be difficult to drive all the tens of thousands of Japanese devils out of the city!"
Song Yu looked at the city in the distance and continued:
"According to intelligence, Jinling has seven main urban areas, covering an area of more than 6500 square kilometers, hundreds of main roads and streets, and countless other alleys and lanes."
"The Japanese occupied this place for two years, during which time they built a large number of fortifications and strongholds, as well as various machine gun positions, artillery positions, and so on."
"The enemy still has nearly 40,000 Japanese soldiers, which is almost equal to our number. With this kind of force, we have no way of encircling them. Even if we can plug the gap, it will cost us unimaginable casualties, and it will be difficult to push our troops into the city and drive out all the Japanese."
Zhou Qingshan also analyzed the battlefield situation and said, "Our current position, advancing all the way from the east gate, has only occupied an outer city area. According to the information we have, the enemy has stored a large amount of supplies in Jinling City. If we trap the Japanese in the city, they can still hold out for more than half a year."
The implication.
If the Battle of Nanjing was delayed until half a year later, it would completely lose its strategic significance.
Ye Feng asked, "What if our two divisions are divided into two parts and push forward from east to west?"
Zhou Qingshan immediately replied, "We can't push it over. Although our weapons and equipment are comparable to those of the Japanese after receiving the arms support from the Ugly Country, the enemy is the main force of the Kwantung Army, and we are just a group of new recruits."
"The gap between new recruits and elite troops is huge. Even if we wipe out both divisions, we still cannot retake Nanjing."
"Commander, according to the strategic deployment, we will march into the Central Plains next. To start the Central Plains War, we must preserve our manpower as much as possible!"
The 12th Army they led, although they were new recruits, had actually been training for a long time.
And when Ye Feng rushed to Yan'an, many soldiers of the 12th Army were pulled out from Shanghai. Under the leadership of Commander Su, they fought many small-scale battles with the Japanese.
Most of the soldiers of the 12th Army have seen blood, so they cannot just die in vain.
"According to the battle plan, at this point in time, the Thirteenth Army led by Commander Su has already cut off the passage between Nanjing and the Central Plains."
"The devils in the city will not receive any material support."
Ye Feng paused and continued:
"What would happen if I went to blow up and burn all the places where the Japanese stored their supplies?"
Song Yu said, "Without supplies, the Japs will definitely not be able to defend Jinling City."
Niu Chujun, who had been silent for a long time, said, "Commander, if the Japanese supplies are destroyed, their chief officer will definitely be desperate. I guess there is a high probability that the Japanese will launch a fierce attack on our position at the first opportunity."
Since being promoted to regiment commander, Niu Chujun's military level has been steadily rising.
All this was possible thanks to his trip to Yan'an, where he participated in the study of various military theories.
Ye Feng said, "Yeah, I guess I was still burning their supplies when the Japs reacted and immediately launched a full-scale offensive."
Zhou Qingshan thought for a moment and said, "Our position is not deep enough. If tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers rush out at once, even if we can hold on, our casualties will be at least more than 20,000."
This is still an optimistic statement. After all, by that time, Ye Feng would most likely not be able to make it back.
Without a super agent commander like him, sitting at the front and without his firepower, it would be difficult to stop the crazy attack of the Japanese.
Ye Feng said, "We have enough time to prepare in advance. We have strengthened our positions, dug trenches, and laid out various barbed wires. Even if the Japs are crazy, as long as we can hold out for half a day, victory will be in our favor."
There are actually ten biological and chemical gas bombs in Ye Feng’s storage space.
At that time in Yan'an, he explained his idea to Mr. Sun Yat-sen, but Mr. Sun only asked for twenty poison gas bombs.
So what if there are poison gas bombs?
This is the city of Jinling, known as the "Ancient Capital of Six Dynasties", our own city of China!
Once the poisonous smoke spreads, not only will it kill the Japanese, but the poisonous smoke running everywhere may kill the anti-Japanese armed fighters in the first place, or cause a large number of civilians in the city to die in the poisonous fog.
Ye Feng would never do such a stupid thing as killing one thousand enemies but losing eight hundred of his own.
Ye Feng said, "Let's go back and see how to stabilize the defense line and stop the Japs' final crazy offensive with minimal casualties."
The things that the 12th Army currently has the most of in terms of logistical supplies are explosive packs and grenades, after all, these two things are easy to make.
The military factories in Shanghai were producing day and night, and supplies were also being transported here in a steady stream.
In the end, the solution they came up with was to use more explosives and grenades to create a horrific explosion and sea of fire directly in the middle of the enemy's front line as a defense when faced with the enemy's charge across the mountains.
After waiting for another day, Ye Feng set off.
A commander, the highest military officer, actually left his troops behind and went deep into the enemy's rear alone.
This is expressly prohibited on any other front or battlefield.
But Ye Feng is different. If he doesn't give full play to his powerful individual combat power, it would be a waste of his energy.
The strength of two divisions.
Why did they dare to attack Jinling? Wasn't it because they relied on Ye Feng's powerful combat ability?
The night is dark.
Relying on the blessing of the white gas and the scanning system in his mind, Ye Feng continued to break through the blockade and infiltrate into the main city area which was heavily guarded by the Japanese.
"What the hell!"
"Have the Japs learned their lesson? They knew I might infiltrate them, so they broke up their supplies into smaller pieces."
"In that case, use the time bomb!"
Ye Feng transformed into a lonely ghost, constantly shuttling among the Japanese troops, streets, and buildings.
Before dawn.
The Japanese devils who were still on high alert in various places were suddenly awakened by the horrific explosion.
"Rumble..."
"Rumble..."
There were violent explosions in various parts of the city, and balls of fire almost illuminated half of Jinling City.
At this time, the Japanese commander thought he was under artillery attack!
When the intelligence was uploaded to the Japanese headquarters, General Yoshida Jun finally reacted, "Damn it, it must be that damned Chinese Ye Feng who sneaked into the city, sabotaged our defense zone, and deliberately blew up our material storage points."
"Come here, send three times as many people to guard those supply points that have not been destroyed."
"Let the intelligence department of the Special High Technology Department go out and search every place to find Ye Feng."
At this time, Ye Feng, with the help of the scanning system, was still shuttling quickly through the enemy's various defensive strongholds.
Many of the Japanese's supply storage points were destroyed.
However, the firepower of these Japanese devils is still strong. What Ye Feng needs to do now is to infiltrate the areas heavily defended by the Japanese devils.
Destroy as many artillery pieces, shells, ammunition, grenades, etc. of the Japanese Kwantung Army as possible.
