Hurrying along slowly, when Ye Qing saw Songjiang, the city was already riddled with holes under the bombing of the Japanese carrier-based aircraft.

Outside the city wall, across the Huangpu River, after the Little Japanese plane left, a large number of Northeast Army soldiers were digging defense fortifications along the north bank of the Huangpu River, mainly defending the Beijing-Shanghai Railway section passing through Songjiang and city defense.

Looking at the soldiers who were sweating profusely and digging fortifications from a distance, Ye Qing shook his head helplessly.

The current Sixty-seventh Army has only two divisions. After deducting the quotas for empty pay, in fact, the total number may not even be 15,000.

The Sixth Division, the Eighteenth Division, and the Kunisaki Nobori detachment that are arriving now total more than 50,000 people. They are also supported by carrier-based aircraft, have mechanized troops, and have superior artillery fire. The Sixty-seventh Army can almost be said to be invincible. It's like a mantis acting as a chariot.

Currently, the main force of the Japanese army on the entire Songhu battlefield has reached 270,000. Even if the national army invests more troops in Songjiang, it will be difficult to compete.

As the radio station said before, Ye Qing alone cannot change any of the current situation.

At present, we cannot allow the little devils to capture Songjiang and cut off the Songhu Railway, otherwise more troops will be unable to evacuate the Songhu battlefield in time, and history will happen again.

At least for now, Shanghai is still controlled by the National Army. Although the National Government is preparing to evacuate, it has not yet issued a formal withdrawal order. In the historical Battle of Songhu, the National Army suffered 190,000 casualties on the front battlefield of the Battle of Songhu. , and during the retreat, another 100,000 people were killed or injured, causing the loss of 60% of the elite troops of the national army.

Ye Qing knew in his heart that he could not save the entire national army and navy from being annihilated, nor could he save everyone. All his efforts were only aimed at saving one person.

Arriving at Songjiang, a city that was about to be ignited by the flames of war, Ye Qing did not have anyone from the 67th Army in the morning. Instead, he returned from Songjiang to familiarize himself with the surrounding terrain.

Find all the surrounding places that can be used as sniper positions, plan forward and retreat routes, estimate the location of the Japs' artillery positions, and determine safer hiding spots.

In the next battle, there will be at least 30,000 little devils gathered here, and Ye Qing must be careful.

When the little devil's carrier-based aircraft dropped the last batch of bombs for the day and returned home, the sky gradually dimmed. Ye Qing had basically explored the surrounding terrain clearly. Fortunately, he had the help of a map, otherwise it would have been difficult. It is impossible to understand the large area of ​​​​the surrounding terrain in such a short time.

The surrounding terrain is relatively flat, but there are also many hills. Ye Qing found a small hill near the south bank of the Huangpu River, dug a foxhole on the back of the hill, hid it inside, collected the excavated soil, and covered it with a wooden board. Cover your foxhole with vegetation and rest quietly in it.

Completely shrouded in darkness, the vanguard of the Japs appeared in front of them.

The vanguard of the Sixth Division arrived on the urgent march. Facing the Sixty-seventh Army defending across the Huangpu River, the Sixth Division temporarily stopped from landing until now.

From landing west of Jinshanwei to now, the Sixth Division has repelled the counterattack of two national army infantry divisions along the way and finally arrived at Songjiang.

With the arrival of the Sixth Division, the Guoqi Deng Detachment also arrived at the south bank of the Huangpu River. The two troops began to take a simple rest and recuperate in preparation for tomorrow's cross-river operation.

More and more little Japs arrived, and Ye Qing was almost rested. The time displayed on his smart glasses had already reached midnight. After looking at the map, he arranged his clothes and carefully took off the camouflage on the foxhole. , under the thin moon and stars, a lonely figure disappeared into the night.

The Japanese's permanent divisions basically dig wherever they go. Once they stop, they dig various trenches and fortifications.

But when Ye Qing walked out of the foxhole, the Japs had already dug a large area of ​​trenches and fortifications on the south bank of the Huangpu River. At the same time, the artillery positions were also completed before the break.

The Little Japs, who were across the river from the Sixty-seventh Army, were very closely guarded. Along the way, Ye Qing relied on the function of the map to carefully sneak into the Little Japs' camp.

In the early morning night at the Japs camp, except for the intensive patrol team, the remaining Japs were all asleep.

The little Japanese were all exhausted. They first landed at Jinshanwei, and then fought with two infantry divisions of the National Army along the way. They also had to march to Songjiang in a hurry. Their tired bodies fell asleep in the middle of the night.

Ye Qing successfully sneaked into the camp. Under low-light night vision, the entire camp was connected with large and small tents. It was already winter and it was quite cold. Without a tent, the biting cold in the wild would make it impossible to sleep..

Most of the tents were filled with dense red dots. Ye Qing was not in a hurry to find the sleeping little devils, but came to the back of a large tent. There were two soldiers guarding the entrance of the tent.

Squatting behind the tent, he took out a jet-black multifunctional dagger, and easily cut a small opening in the tough tent. After a brief look, the tent was filled with boxes of weapons and ammunition. If you reach through the opened hole, you can touch the ammunition boxes.
