Chapter 366: Uncovering the Japs' Conspiracy
Chapter 366: Uncovering the Japs' Conspiracy
In the dim room, facing the information that the Japanese were going to use poison gas bombs on Shanghai, after being angry, Ye Feng asked, "Does the intelligence we obtained have any specific information about the Japanese Air Force?"
Ling Wei said, "It's just an approximate number. The Japanese may send out a flying squadron of about 25 planes, taking off from Nanjing and flying directly to the sky above Shanghai to carry out a bombing mission with poison gas bombs."
"As for the bombing range, it is estimated that our anti-Japanese armed forces position is the center, and the surrounding area is more than ten kilometers. Whether it will be covered and attacked will be determined."
Ye Feng began to think in his mind. If Ling Wei's information was correct, the consequences of this poison gas bombing would be too serious.
Don’t underestimate the explosion of the poison gas bomb, it’s only more than ten kilometers away.
But this is deadly poisonous smoke!
This is a deathly fog that is impossible to avoid, and its spread is wide enough to reach an area of dozens of kilometers.
The last time we ambushed the Sakata Regiment was on the railway outside Shanghai.
Ye Feng used two poison gas bombs to kill hundreds of Japanese devils on the spot. You have to know that it was in a vast mountainous area that such a shocking number of casualties was caused.
Hundreds of poison gas bombs exploded in the city of Shanghai, and the consequences were unimaginable.
Seeing Ye Feng's thoughtful expression, Ling Wei said, "Ye Feng, you are now fully responsible for the struggle in the enemy-occupied area of Shanghai. All anti-Japanese armed fighters are under your command. You must think of a way to save the millions of Shanghai people and thwart the Japanese conspiracy."
"Do not worry!"
After thinking it over in his mind, Ye Feng asked, "How far are the two Japanese divisions from Shanghai? How long will it take for them to arrive?"
Ling Wei said, "According to intelligence, the independent mixed division coming from the northeast had already set out the day before yesterday. They are a mechanized combat division and will be able to reach Shanghai in a few days."
"The Japanese 12th Division, which was transferred from the Southwest battlefield, is still undergoing repairs and is expected to enter Shanghai in a few days."
At this point, Ling Wei paused for a moment before continuing, "Logically speaking, this is a Japanese division of more than 40,000 troops. Our anti-Japanese armed forces are unable to confront them head-on. But why did the Japanese headquarters go so crazy as to launch a devastating poison gas attack on Shanghai in advance? Could it be that the Japanese thought that their 40,000-strong army could not deal with our anti-Japanese armed forces of less than 4,000 people, so they used such a vicious method of wiping out the entire family?"
This is what Ye Feng was just thinking about, based on his analysis of the situation between the enemy and us.
The Japanese are powerful.
The anti-Japanese armed forces were weak.
There is a huge gap between the two sides.
Logically speaking, if the Japanese large army marched into Shanghai, they would most likely be able to push all the way through and would hardly be defeated.
But why did the Japanese use poison gas bombs in advance?
After a long while, Ye Feng finally spoke, "Ling Wei, I think the Japanese are plotting something."
Ling Wei was puzzled and asked, "You mean, they won't use poison gas bombs?"
Ye Feng said, "It will certainly be used, but it won't be exaggerated to the extent of sending out a flying squadron. Moreover, I think this is a deliberate tactic of the Japanese to confuse people, or to make a feint to the east and attack in the west."
"Using the terrorist threat of poison gas bombs? Do it openly to attract our attention."
"The Japanese must have some hidden agenda behind the scenes."
What is this trick?
Ye Feng's brain was working rapidly, and after analyzing the situation in Shanghai layer by layer, he soon had the answer in his mind.
"Are you repairing the plank road in the open, but secretly attacking Chencang?"
Ye Feng was amused that these little Japanese devils had actually learned the tactics of the great warriors of ancient China.
Interesting!
But doesn’t this little Japanese know who is the ancestor and who is the grandson?
After seeing through the Japanese plan, Ye Feng also said, "Ling Wei, take advantage of this opportunity to transfer some of the Shanghai people out of the city and settle them in remote villages and towns outside, so that they can stay away from the war temporarily."
"As for food and money, we are not short of it now, so we will try to distribute as much as possible."
"Oh, and have someone notify Captain Zhou to recruit another 5,000 men from the civilian population. For the soldiers' families, resettlement allowances must be paid in advance, and at three times the standard."
The anti-Japanese armed forces in Shanghai now have no shortage of money or food, as these were all looted from the Japanese concessions.
Of course, these money and grain originally belonged to our Chinese nation, but were plundered by the invaders, the Japanese. Now they are returned to their original owners and redistributed to the people. This is taking from the people and using it for the people.
Ling Wei was puzzled and asked, "Recruit another 5,000 people? But these are all new soldiers. Can they be combat-ready?"
Ye Feng said, "Next, we have to fight an ambush. As long as the new recruits can pull the trigger and fire the shells, that will be enough." If the troops are to charge into battle, this group of newly recruited soldiers will certainly not have much combat effectiveness. However, they will definitely be enough for an ambush.
Ling Wei was even more confused. An ambush? An ambush on the Japanese troops?
"Ye Feng, the 8,000 people we recruited earlier are still secretly training in the mountains outside. Why don't you call them back?"
Ling Wei continued, "Which Japanese unit are we going to ambush?"
In Ling Wei's impression, in Shanghai now, their anti-Japanese armed forces are the strongest, and the Japanese have few soldiers left.
A battle last night.
Even the Japanese civilians had fled from the concession. Who was Ye Feng going to fight?
Ye Feng smiled slightly and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, the Japanese 12th Army will enter Shanghai in two days."
what?
Ling Wei was a little shocked and said, "Impossible? According to our intelligence, the 12th Corps is still resting in the southwest, increasing its staff and replacing a new batch of weapons and equipment. It is impossible for them to appear in Shanghai in a short period of time."
Ye Feng said, "The Japanese are making a feint to the east and attacking in the west, using the dropping of poison gas bombs as a cover. In secret, the 12th Army has already set out and is marching towards Shanghai."
There was another important piece of information that Ye Feng chose to conceal.
Most of the 8,000 people they transferred for training outside Shanghai have been identified by the Japanese.
The primary target of the Japanese 12th Division was definitely the 8,000 new recruits of the anti-Japanese armed forces.
Have no idea!
After all, there were eight thousand people, not eight hundred or eighty. It would be extremely difficult to completely cover up their whereabouts.
What Ye Feng called an ambush was to attack the Japanese 12th Division.
The Japanese are going to make a feint to the east and attack in the west.
Ye Feng gave them a trick: lead them into a trap and then close the door to beat the dog.
An ambush.
We must strive to cripple and disable a Japanese division and shatter the Japanese plan of a thunderous sweep of Shanghai.
Ling Wei suddenly realized, and after being excited, she said with concern:
"Outside Shanghai, we have 8,000 soldiers training day and night. Inside the city, we are preparing to recruit 5,000 people, a total of 13,000 people. However, these are all new recruits who have never fought in a war. Even if they are ambushed, can they defeat a Japanese ace division?"
Thirteen thousand new recruits in Shenzhou.
VS
Japan's 24,000 elite veterans.
It seems to be a losing battle of an egg against a rock, but in Ye Feng's opinion, the advantage is on my side and the enemy is bound to lose!
