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

Chapter 500 Recovering Jinling

"retreat!"

"Retreat from the west gate and the north gate!" In the chaotic city of Suzhou, the Japanese officer who was commanding in secret gritted his teeth and had no choice but to issue the retreat order with an extremely unwilling and angry expression. He had issued the mission to encircle and kill Ye Feng more than ten times, but in the end, all the teams he sent out became Ye Feng's dead souls under his gun and could not kill Ye Feng at all.

If we don't retreat now, we'll all be killed.

As the Japanese began to retreat, Ye Feng ordered the three regiments of troops to switch from defense to offense.

The battle lasted until the evening of the next day.

After chasing them out of Suzhou City, they continued to chase them for a whole day and night, covering hundreds of miles. Only then did Ye Feng order them to stop pursuing. At this time, their team had already reached the border of Jinling.

The Japanese were not pushovers either. Two flying squadrons took off from Jinling Airport overnight and began bombing Ye Feng and his men.

"Division Commander, after we destroyed the Jinling Airport of the Japanese, they lost most of their aircraft. Their air force suffered heavy losses. These dozens of aircraft are probably the maximum air firepower that the Japanese can mobilize at present."

"Last night, you destroyed more than 20 planes in a row. Our morale is high now. Why don't we rush to the city of Jinling and take down this ancient capital of the Six Dynasties and recover the lost territory?"

Ye Feng was still thinking quickly about Song Yu's words.

Is it so easy to recapture Jinling City?

You know, when the news of the recovery of Suzhou City spread, the Japanese must have immediately made combat deployments.

At this time, it is estimated that many Japanese divisions in the southwestern battlefield have begun to be urgently transferred and marched towards Nanjing.

According to Ye Feng's understanding of the Japanese, in order to stop the offensive of the anti-Japanese armed forces, the devils would at least deploy three divisions of troops inside and outside Nanjing, with tens of thousands of defensive forces!

How many troops do they have at this time?

1 million people.

They were all new recruits who had just experienced one or two battles.

With such a small number of troops, it would be tantamount to committing suicide to attack tens of thousands of elite Japanese veterans.

Deputy Regiment Commander Zheng Hua said, "Commander, according to our intelligence, the Japanese currently do not have many troops in Nanjing City, only two regiments. If we launch an attack on Nanjing before the Japanese reinforcements arrive at the battlefield, we may be able to take it down."

Ye Feng asked in return, "After we capture Jinling City, what next?"

Song Yu was the first to answer, "We can recruit new soldiers locally, expand the team, and defend the city."

Another Battle of Nanjing?

Last year, the appearance of Ye Feng, an angry young man who traveled through time, shattered the brutal "Nanjing Massacre" plan planned by the Japanese. However, in that battle, countless anti-Japanese armed forces also died at the hands of the Japanese.

Ye Feng nearly lost his life at that time, and it took him half a year to recover.

Battalion Commander Niu Chujun also said, "Division Commander, we can't miss this opportunity. Retaking Jinling City will definitely be a huge boost to the anti-Japanese armed forces across the country. We must fight this battle."

Song Yu added, "We sent troops from Shanghai this time, but we made bold statements to recover thousands of miles of land. However, from Shanghai to Nanjing, it is only a few hundred kilometers. We are still a long way from expanding our "urban base" to a thousand miles!"

Ye Feng thought for a moment and said, "We can attack Jinling, but we have too few troops and must ask for reinforcements."

In Ye Feng's opinion, they are not fighting alone.

They are the underground party's team and China's anti-Japanese armed force.

The Northwest Base Area can request support from the headquarters and have the Fourth Front Army in southern Anhui move towards Nanjing.

What about the southwestern mountain city?

Because we are currently a united anti-Japanese front, we can also ask for help and let the Yamashiro troops hold back the main force of the Japanese.

As long as the two frontline battlefields in the northwest and southwest make efforts at the same time and involve the main force of the Japanese, Ye Feng and his troops will be able to create more impossible miracles.

"Commander, I don't think Shancheng will agree with our combat strategy!" Zheng Hua is older and has a longer-term vision. He continued to analyze:

"Although we are all united in the anti-Japanese front, the old man in Shancheng is always on guard against our underground party."

"In the eyes of that old man, the threat posed by our underground party is greater than that posed by the Japanese."

"The old man is probably wishing that our independent reorganized division would be wiped out!"

"Once we send a telegram requesting support, I'm afraid that old man Shancheng will stab us in the back."

……

Ye Feng is not worried about this problem. What is the most difficult problem to solve in the world?

"Conspiracy!"

It's not about plotting against you secretly, but it's about plotting against you openly, in front of public.

But you still have to carry out this conspiracy, and this is the most uncomfortable part.

On this day, Ye Feng led his team and continued to sweep all the way forward to the west, attacking cities and strongholds, and recaptured towns and counties one by one. The Japanese put up almost no resistance and retreated towards Nanjing with all their might.

The enemy's intention is very clear, they want to decide the outcome in Jinling City!

At the same time, three pieces of news that shocked the public also spread across the country through the party organization's intelligence network.

"The underground party's independent reorganized division will launch a counterattack against Nanjing, striving to annihilate the Japanese garrison troops in Nanjing."

"In order to achieve greater victory in the anti-Japanese war, the underground party decided to deploy a large force to fight in the Northwest base area."

"In order to cooperate with the counterattack campaign in Nanjing, the southwestern mountain city has assembled hundreds of thousands of troops and is about to launch a counterattack."

As soon as the news came out.

The anti-Japanese enthusiasm and confidence of the people across the country were greatly encouraged.

Many people feel that the current situation of the national war of resistance has begun to change from offense to defense, and that the troops on various fronts in China are about to start turning from defense to offense.

Amid this anti-Japanese fervor, anti-Japanese marches and demonstrations broke out in major cities across the country.

Under the turbulent undercurrent.

The eyes of countless people are now focused on Jinling City.

Everyone hopes that their own troops can defeat the Japanese invaders and recapture this ancient capital of Six Dynasties.

a few days later.

As for the Northwest base area, it was the first to respond to the anti-Japanese armed forces in Shanghai and quickly launched a counterattack. Taking advantage of the Japanese's insufficient military strength, it continuously recovered towns and counties. The base area was also constantly expanding and attacking towards the Central Plains.

Now, the southwestern mountain city, which had been sitting on the Diaoyutai, finally could no longer sit still.

Like the news in the newspaper.

Shancheng really assembled hundreds of thousands of troops, divided them into six armies, and launched an all-out counterattack. The battle was extremely brutal, and after paying a huge price, many places were recovered one after another.

Ye Feng knew very well that the old man in Shancheng was really forced into a corner this time.

the reason is simple.

The independent reorganization division of the Shanhai underground party fought all the way from Shanghai to Nanjing City, and its territory became increasingly larger.

The Northwest Base Area Headquarters is also fighting with all its might to expand its power.

This made the old man in the mountain city, who had always regarded the underground party as a thorn in his side, so anxious and angry that he could not even sit still.

No more action.

Large areas in the northwest and east of China were completely controlled by the underground party!

If the Yamashiro troops continue to stay in hiding and wait until the Japanese are defeated, how much territory will they have left to control?

Under such circumstances, the old man in Shancheng could only give orders and start racing against time to compete with the underground party for territory.

of course.

The premise of all this is that the anti-Japanese armed forces led by Ye Feng wiped out nearly 200,000 elite Japanese troops in the Battle of Shanghai.

at the same time.

Ye Feng also commanded a force of over ten thousand people, and the army was approaching, preparing to launch a fierce attack on the Japanese troops in Jinling City.
