Chapter 244 Ningbo Port

On the west side of Ningbo, Hongqiao Town.

This place is less than 20 kilometers away from the city of Ningbo. The town has been restored a day ago. Now, there are many soldiers in the town. The northwest of the town is set up here.

The divisions of the Mechanized Infantry Division, the 3rd Infantry Division and the 5th Infantry Division were temporarily merged together, working together and commanding together, becoming a temporary joint command.

At the entrance of the courtyard of the Joint Command, several off-road vehicles were parked, and several special forces members wearing camouflage combat uniforms and carrying Thomson's submachine guns were in the car. This morning, Zhao Long led more than a dozen special forces members to accompany Ye Feng here.

The entire battle was almost over. Some of the Japanese troops in the northern part of Hangzhou withdrew, and some of the remaining Japanese troops also began to take the defensive moment and no longer took the initiative to attack the new 6th Army.

Since Okamura Yanji no longer took the initiative to attack the north of Hangzhou, Ye Feng did not order the troops to attack and adopted a defensive attitude. After several days of fighting, the soldiers were relatively tired and the ammunition was consumed a lot. The soldiers in the north of Hangzhou City needed to rest and replenish ammunition.

The battle in the north gradually stopped, and Ye Feng's main energy was focused on the Ningbo area, with Ningbo City as the center. There were also the 18th Division and the 29th Division in this area. These two divisions suffered a lot of losses, with a total of about 20,000 or more people.

Ye Fen came in person, and the three division commanders first reported to Ye Feng about the battle situation in Ningbo area. Ye Feng listened carefully and patiently to the reports of the three division commanders. Then, Ye Feng personally issued an attack order and launched an active attack on the 18th Division and the 29th Division.

Those who came with Ye Feng were not only Zhao Long and more than a dozen special forces members, but also a tank regiment of the armored division, hundreds of M4 Sherman tanks, and 20 and 30 armored vehicles.

The first one to launch an attack was this tank regiment. Ye Feng first broke through from the west of Ningbo and attacked the rear of the tank regiment in Hangzhou. There were soldiers from an infantry regiment of the 3rd Infantry Division followed.

The Japanese in Ningbo area were unable to withstand the sharp offensive of the tank regiment at all. The Tank regiment and the infantry regiment of the 3rd Infantry Division were the first to invade Ningbo city from the west.

The next day, the Mechanized Infantry Regiment, the main force of the 3rd Infantry Division, and the Fifth Infantry Division also successively attacked Ningbo urban area. In these battles that attacked Ningbo urban area, the soldiers annihilated thousands of Japanese devils.

A large number of troops entered the city one after another, street fighting began, and gunfire was everywhere in Ningbo City, with the number of soldiers being the superior, weapons and equipment also having an absolute advantage, and there were so many armored vehicles and tanks. The 18th Division, which guarded the street fighting in the city, suffered many casualties and wounded many.

After two days of street fighting, about 10,000 remaining Japanese devils in Ningbo City began to retreat and retreat to Ningbo Port. Seeing that Okamura Nishiki might not be able to save the two divisions and ordered a retreat.

In order to receive the retreat, Okamura Yasuji prepared a large number of transport ships in secret from Shanghai and arrived at Ningbo Port overnight, preparing to receive the retreat of more than 10,000 Japanese devils in Ningbo.

The entire operation was very secret, and under the control of the Japanese, these transport ships arrived in the Ningbo area secretly. Logically, Ye Feng would never know.

As soon as these ships reached Ningbo, Okamura Yasuji ordered the Japanese in Ningbo to retreat alternately and prepare to start boarding the ship in the afternoon. As soon as the sky was dark, they retreated from the sea to the Shanghai area and the Shanghai area and the Shanghai area.

Okamura Yasuji did not dare to retreat during the day, for fear of being bombed by the Air Division's aircraft. A few days ago, the "Kaga" aircraft carrier and the "Fusan" battleship were sunk, which allowed Okamura Yasuji to deeply understand the power of the newly-organized 6th Army aircraft. For the sake of safety, Okamura Yasuji could only order the Japanese to retreat after dark.

Ningbo Port.

There are many ships docked on this large harbor pier, most of which are transport ships, and some merchant ships, cargo ships, large fishing boats and other civilian ships. In order to help tens of thousands of Japanese evacuations, Okamura Yasuji collected a large number of ships in a short time, and all kinds of ships came in handy.

Near the wharf, the Japanese built a lot of temporary fortifications and set up machine guns and even mortar positions to protect the entire wharf and harbor area, so as to facilitate the Japanese who boarded the ship to retreat.

Some Japanese devils have retreated here, some have boarded the ship, and a large number of Japanese devils are still breaking through the city and retreating to this area.

Ye Feng of course knew that the Japanese were preparing to retreat from here by boat. Okamura's entire plan had no secret to Ye Feng. In order to stop the Japanese from retreating, Ye Feng had a variety of ways to send planes to bombard all these ships on a large scale, or concentrate a large number of heavy artillery, choose an area to build artillery positions, and use heavy artillery groups to smash all the Japanese in these, together with those ships.

Ye Feng did not take these methods, but instead adopted the ground attack method, sending a regiment of the mechanized infantry division and adding an infantry regiment to attack directly from the ground.

Ye Feng wanted to avoid damaging Ningbo Port to the greatest extent (there are many ports in Ningbo, which can be understood as the general term for the largest port). Ye Feng was eager to use this port. Once the damage was severe, it would take a lot of time to rebuild it.

More than 100 armored vehicles from the first mechanized infantry regiment of the division were divided into three groups and quietly appeared in the sight of the Japanese. Seeing so many armored vehicles coming, the Japanese who were responsible for the defense of Ningbo Port were in chaos.

With more than 100 armored vehicles and a large number of follow-up soldiers, the Japanese must have been scared. There were only more than 1,000 Japanese in charge of defense in this area. In addition, on the dock, some Japanese invaders who had boarded the ship, with a total of only two or three thousand.

On the front of Ningbo Port, on the road leading to the dock, dozens of armored vehicles drove over, driving in the front several armored vehicles. When they saw the fortifications built by the Japanese in the front and the machine guns set up in the machine guns, they immediately started shooting.

Several Browning heavy machine guns and several light machine guns opened fire one after another.

The firepower of these armored vehicles is very strong, just like several moving fortresses. The fierce firepower killed many Japanese devils not far away.

Several Japanese soldiers were fired a Type 92 heavy machine gun and they were killed immediately. One of them was also shot by the headshot, and their white brains splattered all over the floor.

These armored vehicles rushed straight into the huge Ningbo Port along the highway. A large number of soldiers following behind rushed in with their weapons with their weapons.

Not only the front, but also a large number of armored vehicles on both sides of Ningbo Port, and a large number of soldiers, all of whom were firing while rushing forward.
