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

Chapter 424 Street Fighting

In the pre-war meeting room, after listening to Liang Long's analysis of the battle situation, Ye Feng, sitting in the main seat, shook his head and said:

"The flames of war must not spread to the urban area of ​​Shanghai. We must defeat the Japanese and also protect this largest and most prosperous city in China."

What a joke! If we let the enemy into the city, Shanghai will be reduced to ruins. What will happen to the countless civilians then?

Could it be that the tragic and bloody "Battle of Shanghai" will be staged again?

Aren’t there enough people who died back then?

The combat strategy of urban warfare and street fighting with the Japanese has long been verified, and there is only one outcome:

"Can't beat it!"

At the same time, in Ye Feng's opinion, street fighting is something that should be avoided no matter if you are an elite, a veteran, or a recruit.

the reason is simple.

Street fighting is not only difficult to fight, but also a meat grinder in war, with extremely high casualty rates.

Ye Feng immediately said, "Street fighting is not advisable. Even if we can kill a large number of Japanese manpower, we will probably have to pay a one-to-one casualty ratio on our side." This casualty ratio is still based on the premise that we have Ye Feng, a super agent. Otherwise, the anti-Japanese armed forces, with their low combat skills, will have to fight against the elite veterans of the Japanese in street fighting.

In the terrain of densely packed buildings in the city.

Three fighters.

It was already good enough if we could kill a Japanese soldier.

At this time, Lu Ping also expressed his combat opinions, saying, "Division Commander, I have an idea. Organize a few teams of veterans to carry out assassinations, blasting, sneak attacks, beheadings and other operations to eliminate the high-ranking members of the Japanese division and then blow up their gunpowder magazines. Without the support of heavy weapons, the Japanese are like a dog with broken teeth, and their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. As a result, we have the advantage."

Ye Feng asked back, "Captain Lu, this is not feasible. First of all, we don't even have the information about which divisions the Japanese have deployed."

"Even if we know it, what are the marching routes of these divisions into Shanghai?"

"If they come to Shanghai in batches from different times and locations, are we sure we can carry out assassination and beheading?"

Trying to kill the top commander of an elite Japanese division is as difficult as shooting down a fighter plane flying at high speed in the sky with a pistol.

Apart from Ye Feng, who else has this ability?

As for the other soldiers, let alone killing the high-ranking officers of the enemy division, they probably couldn’t even find the location of the enemy’s division headquarters.

If Ye Feng brings people to carry out the decapitation operation, who will command the large force?

This just in case.

Something happened to Ye Feng?

By then, there will be no leader, and without Ye Feng as the backbone, it will not be a question of whether we can defeat the Japanese.

But how many people will die on the battlefield in Shanghai.

So Zhou Qingshan also retorted, "Captain Lu, the war is imminent, the division commander must not carry out such a dangerous operation."

What this means is that the effort and reward are not proportional!

Even if the commander of a Japanese army division was assassinated.

However, the Japanese side has no shortage of commanding officers, so they can just transfer a new division commander.

If something happened to Ye Feng, the Shanghai Anti-Japanese Armed Forces would be in an irretrievable situation.

Even another brigade commander, Hong Bing, shook his head and said, "This is not feasible. The Japanese know very well that we have a super agent with terrifying single-soldier combat power. Their division headquarters will definitely strengthen their guard while paying attention to concealment. If we are not careful, our small force will be surrounded by the enemy."

Once the discussion started, other regiment commanders, battalion commanders, etc. present also began to express their combat ideas one by one.

"I propose that we move our troops out of Shanghai and move the battlefield to the rural and mountainous areas further out. This way, we can attack when advancing and defend when retreating."

"We can also move our troops to the mountains and use the terrain to fight offensive and defensive battles with the Japanese."

"There is no deep terrain around Shanghai, and we cannot transfer our troops to more remote areas."

"Yes, the Japanese commanders are not stupid. What if they don't bother with you and send a large force straight to Shanghai? By then, we will have lost our base. Do we have to resort to guerrilla warfare?"

"It's winter now, and the roads are difficult to travel. We can send out troops to outflank and cut off the Japanese military supply transport team. Without food and ammunition, the Japanese troops will panic, and we can then look for opportunities to destroy the enemy."

"Blow up all roads, bridges, railways, etc. leading into Shanghai in advance to slow down the enemy's advance."

"Use poison to pollute part of the water source, and then use some cheap, large-volume laxatives with strong side effects."

"The Japanese artillery fire is too fierce. I think we should build multiple defensive lines, preferably five deep fortifications, with empty front and solid back, to avoid the Japanese bombardment and consume the enemy's artillery shells. When their vanguard troops come up, we can rely on our positions and resist step by step."

"We can send out several small units to harass the Japanese in the form of guerrillas."

……

In this way, with the free speech of commanders of many regiments, battalions, etc., hundreds of strategies were devised and ideas were gathered.

There are many combat strategies that, in Ye Feng's opinion, are indeed feasible and can have a certain impact on the Japanese.

Of course, many of these dirty tricks must be absolutely prohibited.

For example, someone even suggested throwing a large number of rotting corpses into the water source to prevent the Japanese from having water.

The corpses rotted in this turbulent war era with a shortage of medicine.

What if the terrible plague spreads?

This is happening on China's own land. If a plague breaks out, the people who will suffer the most deaths may still be the ordinary people of China.

"Blowing up roads and bridges can delay the enemy's attack and buy us time to build our positions."

Ye Feng continued:

"But these combat strategies alone are still not enough to stop 10 elite Japanese divisions. What do you think?"

In the conference room, dozens of brigade, regiment, and battalion-level commanders were all silent.

Everyone understands one thing: even if you build five layers of deep defense and the two sides engage in an offensive and defensive battle, facing the Japanese troops with powerful artillery power, this war will definitely be extremely tragic.

How many of their 2-strong independent reorganized division will survive in the end?

Even if we barely win.

Only one out of a hundred soldiers survived, and Shanghai, which was finally recovered, was eventually captured again by the Japanese.

Not reconciled!

Everyone's face was filled with deep anger, worry, and helplessness...

Ye Feng added, "So our final strategy for this battle is to destroy the Japanese's manpower to the greatest extent possible while also ensuring that our own losses are minimized."

"In my opinion, we must at least destroy three Japanese divisions, and our own losses cannot exceed half."

The three Japanese divisions had a total of about 7.5 people.

Many people present gasped, shocked by Ye Feng's "lofty ambitions".

Zhou Qingshan frowned and couldn't help asking, "Master, it seems that you have a solution?"

Ye Feng smiled slightly, "My method is to use weapons of mass destruction."

Uh?

In the conference room, everyone looked at each other, not understanding the implicit meaning of Ye Feng's words.

In everyone's perception, the only weapon that can be associated with weapons of mass destruction is the Type 92 heavy howitzer produced and developed by the Japanese.

It is a so-called lethal weapon.

It refers to biological and chemical gas bombs. Fearing the leakage of combat plan information, Ye Feng did not explain in detail.
