Chapter 588 The Recapture Campaign Begins
Political Commissar Chen was responsible for intercepting the Japanese troops in Shandong.
General Su blocked the Japanese troops in Central China and Wuhan.
Commander Ye was in charge of the Japanese troops in Guangdong and Guangxi, as well as the mountain city army that might march secretly from the southwest.
The main attacking force was the Shanghai 12th Army led by Ye Feng.
Ye Feng was absolutely confident that he could capture the easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack Jinling City in the shortest time possible.
Next, each army began to deploy troops and march to designated combat positions.
In order to demonstrate the strong strength of the 12th Army and to give confidence to the new recruits, Ye Feng pulled out all the cannons.
The troops came to the city.
Countless black cannon muzzles were aimed at the Nanjing city wall and the Japanese troops guarding it.
As for the artillery towers and bunkers carefully built by the Japanese outside the city, they had long been deserted.
It was obvious that the Japanese troops were completely frightened by Ye Feng.
In the opinion of Yoshida Jun, the general of Jinling City, how could the artillery towers, bunkers, etc. outside stop Ye Feng's attack?
Rather than letting their Japanese soldiers die in vain, it would be better to move them all into the city and defend it with all their might.
"emission!"
Following the order from the artillery battalion commander, dozens of cannons fired at the same time, and countless shells flew into the air.
"Rumble..."
"Rumble..."
……
For a moment, the direction of Jinling’s east gate was engulfed in a sea of fire, with countless flames shooting up into the sky and thick smoke billowing.
The Japanese were naturally no pushovers and fought back in kind.
In this way, both sides set up their cannons and launched long-range artillery attacks, with countless shells flying all over the sky.
This artillery battle lasted for half a day, and it was not until the sun set that both sides retreated.
only……
At this time, Ye Feng had assembled three hundred elite veterans of the underground party, and with the cover of darkness, he secretly approached the enemy's defense line. The Japanese were naturally well prepared for the night attack, but Ye Feng relied on the blessing of the system and the white gas on his body to allow his men to blend into the environment.
After most of the day's bombardment, the area outside the city had been filled with gullies and the enemy was crawling on its stomach.
The veteran following behind Ye Feng was nervous and confused at the same time.
They have already crawled right under the noses of the Japanese, why haven't they been discovered yet?
Are all the Japanese Kwantung Army blind?
Ye Feng was too lazy to explain this. Should he tell others that I used the system to help you become invisible?
Of course, they had no aircraft coordination and no parachutes.
How to attack Nanjing?
storm.
Charge in from the east gate of Jinling!
Ye Feng was still in the lead. After half a day's bombardment, a hole had appeared at the east gate. Although the Japanese were constantly repairing it, it was still difficult to fill it in a short period of time.
"Fill it with sandbags and put up layers of barbed wire and chevaux de frise at the back?" With the help of the system's Sky Eye, he could see the enemy's deployment clearly.
in the dark.
A gray-white dagger appeared in front of Ye Feng and cut forward according to his thoughts.
In the battle of Jinling, Ye Feng just wanted to win quickly and then enter the Central Plains.
So when he attacked, it was like a lion fighting a rabbit, using all his strength. Under Ye Feng's control, the gray-white dagger was like a flash of lightning, cutting towards the various barbed wire fences set up by the enemy.
"Bang~~~"
A signal gun shot up into the sky, and the fiery red light illuminated a large area of the sky.
The next second, the sound of cannon firing was heard behind Ye Feng and the others, and the bombardment began again.
The veterans who were crawling on the ground turned their heads and looked, all with expressions of surprise. What was going on?
We are all ready to launch a night attack and break into the city.
If we continue to bombard at this time, won’t it cover our own people as well?
"Brothers, life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are determined by God. If we want to capture Jinling City and minimize casualties, we can only sacrifice our lives and shed our blood. In this battle tonight, those who are unlucky will go first, and those who are lucky will collect the bodies of others."
After Ye Feng finished speaking, he rushed towards the gap in front of him, braving the Japanese's crazy shooting and the shells falling from the sky. The moment he stood up, he had two cluster bombs in his hands.
After the system activated the third icon, Ye Feng acquired a lot of military knowledge, and it was easy for him to make a few cluster bombs.
"Boom!"
The cluster bomb with terrifying explosive power took effect, and the gap that was originally intended to be blocked was directly blown into a gap.
Hundreds of Japanese soldiers who were originally blocking the gap were blown away and killed in today's explosion.
The explosion of the cluster bomb had just ended.
A large number of artillery shells from the underground party's 12th Army fell one by one like heavy rain, causing even more violent explosions.
Waves of terrifying air raged through the area.
Even Ye Feng was knocked over several times, but with the help of his Sky Eye, he was able to predict the landing position of the shells and avoid them at the critical moment every time. Otherwise, he would have been blown to ruins like many Japanese devils.
With the help of the cover of this vast sea of fire, Ye Feng rushed through the gap and quickly reached the enemy's position.
The three hundred veterans behind him couldn't keep up.
After all, the bombardment from their own artillery battalion was an indiscriminate covering bombing, and rushing in at this time would be tantamount to seeking death.
When the Japanese saw Ye Feng coming towards them in flames, the captain of the Japanese brigade responsible for defending this area immediately gave the order:
"Fire incendiary bombs. Don't let this guy rush over. Use all machine gun fire to suppress him."
The Japanese method of dealing with Ye Feng was still the same restraining tactics they had used before, using the burning high-temperature flames to form a wall of fire to block Ye Feng outside.
At the same time, they used heavy machine gun fire to consume Ye Feng's physical strength and energy, and finally sent teams of soldiers to encircle and suppress him.
At this time, the Japanese devils did not dare to use mortars.
The explosion of the artillery shells produced a lot of thick smoke, which provided Ye Feng with perfect cover.
only……
The Japanese did not use mortars, but the cannons outside the city kept firing!
As more shells fell, explosions occurred.
Ye Feng still seized the opportunity, rushed forward, and killed his way into the Japanese army under a large number of machine gun bullets.
This time, he rushed into the sheepfold like a bloodthirsty tiger.
“Tu tu tu tu~~~”
The long-range machine gun fire could not suppress Ye Feng, let alone close-range combat. The rifles of the surrounding Japanese devils were even less likely to pose a threat to Ye Feng. Holding a submachine gun in his right hand, he began to shoot and kill the enemy in this position. Every bullet he fired was an accurate headshot.
Ye Feng's right hand was pulling the trigger, and his left hand was not idle either. He kept taking out grenades from his storage space and bombarding the surrounding Japanese.
Seeing that the soldiers were constantly being killed by headshots, the Japanese regiment immediately ordered to shrink the defense line and build walls of fire with incendiary bombs.
After the Japanese devils retreated, Ye Feng alone took over a large area within the wall.
"You want to stop me with incendiary bombs? Then try the power of cluster bombs!"
Accompanied by the earth-shaking roar of explosions, Ye Feng used cluster bombs to force his way through and continued to move towards the Japanese.
In Ye Feng’s plan.
During this night's attack, the front line must be pushed to the edge of the inner city. Otherwise, when daybreak comes, the Japanese troops will gather and without the corresponding defensive depth, they will not be able to hold on.
After all, no matter how powerful he is and how much he can kill enemies continuously, his physical strength and energy are limited.
When he was exhausted.
The Japanese will certainly gather heavy troops and launch a frenzied counterattack at all costs.
So even if his teeth were broken tonight, Ye Feng would never retreat.
At this time, the three hundred elite veterans behind Ye Feng also broke through the flames of war and rushed in.
The battle in the outer city area of Jinling began to intensify.
