"Ah?" He Wenxi said in a lost voice, "Four divisions?"

He Wenxi knew very well that a Class A division of the Japanese army often had eight regiments, including four infantry regiments, with a total force of more than 25,000.

For example, the Fifth Division is a typical A Division.

Even three-unit security divisions such as the 22nd Division, the 15th Division, and the 17th Division often have a total force of more than 20,000 people!

In other words, the Japanese troops attacking Yinjiang will have more than 80,000 troops!

This is almost seven times that of the Yinjiang defenders, because at this time, there were only more than 10,000 people left in the Second Detachment!

The only thing that made He Wenxiluo feel at ease was that there was a solid fortification chain built in advance outside Yinjiang, so even if the Japanese had the advantage of military strength, they still had a dozen.

He Wenxi said at the moment: "Fortunately, we have built a solid fortification chain."

"Fortifications are not absolutely safe!" Zhong Yi shook his head and said in a deep voice, "There is absolutely no problem for Zhaobaoshan Fortress and Jinjishan Fortress, but relying on Zhaobaoshan and Jinjishan Fortress, the defense chain built by Zhaobaoshan and Jinjishan Fortress mainly defends against attacks from the north and southeast directions, and lacks defense capabilities from the west."

He Wenxi's face turned pale when he heard this, because what Zhong Yi said was the truth.

Due to resource limitations, Yinjiang also focused on building a defensive fortification chain.

In a word, the focus of Yinjiang defense is on maritime offense from the three directions of north and southeast, while the defense against land offense from the west is slightly insufficient.

But now, the Japanese will most likely choose to attack Yinjiang from the west.

This hit Yinjiang's weakness and made the situation even more serious.

Zhong Yi continued, "Director He, this is actually not the worst."

"Ah? This isn't the worst?" He Wenxi said, "What's the worst?"

"The worst thing is that our air defense firepower is seriously insufficient." Zhong Yi said heavily. "Although we purchased 500 anti-aircraft machine guns from the Soviet Union, these 500 anti-aircraft machine guns are slightly insufficient to protect industrial areas, so we can't even out the excess machine guns to protect Yinxi's defense positions."

Speaking of this, Zhong Yi continued: "In other words, the defensive positions in Yinxi will be exposed without protection under the eyes of the Japanese aviation army. The Japanese army's army aviation and even the naval aviation army can bombard the defensive positions in Yinxi without any scruples. With the current strength of the defensive fortifications in Yinxi, it is probably not long."

Hearing this, He Wenxi couldn't help but take a breath. If this is the case, the situation would be much more serious than he expected. Can Yinjiang still hold on?

Zhong Yi said: "Fortunately, I'm not unprepared."

He Wenxi's heart moved and asked softly: "Shenzhen, what have you prepared?"

Zhong Yi smiled slightly and said, "Keep it confidential for the time being, but you will find out soon."

After pausing, Zhong Yi said to He Wenxi again: "However, I may have to take the Special Forces Brigade back to Yinjiang in advance. Director He, the troops will be handed over to you."

"Ah? Do you want to go back to Yinjiang in advance?" He Wenxi couldn't help but feel a little panicked.

Because Zhong Yiruo left, the task left for him He Wenxi was not just to bring the Coast Defense Corps back to Yinjiang, but to fight a tough battle in the middle, which was to break through the attack of the Japanese on Xinsheng battlefield as soon as possible.

This means that he will be responsible for the next battle in Xinsheng.

Zhong Yi patted He Wenxi on the shoulder and said, "I believe you can do it!"

After saying that, Zhong Yi turned around and left.

...

Shanghai, Pudong.

As early as seven years ago, just before the end of the 128th Shanghai War of Resistance Against Japan, the Japanese Navy built an oil warehouse near the simple airport in Pudong.

The reason why the Japanese Navy wanted to build this oil warehouse at that time was because during the 128th Shanghai War of Resistance Against Japan, the Japanese Navy's combat aircraft were often subject to insufficient oil and could not take off to fight.

But before the oil warehouse was repaired, the Shanghai Anti-Japanese War ended on the 128th.

Later, the oil warehouse was shelved. Then, more than two years ago, after the Battle of Shanghai broke out in August 13, the Japanese Navy began to build the oil warehouse in order to support the Shanghai condemnation army, and repaired it in a very short time.

After that, it was precisely because of the support of this large oil depot that the Japanese Navy's aviation forces and the Central China Front Army's aviation forces were able to carry out large-scale bombings on Nanjing, Wuhan and even Chongqing without any worries.

It is no exaggeration to say that this large oil warehouse in Pudong made great contributions to the Japanese war of aggression against China.

At this moment, Fang Jianwei, the mayor of the Military Control Commission's second district in Shanghai, was lying in the bamboo forest opposite the Japanese oil warehouse, holding a telescope to observe.

Although this Japanese oil warehouse is heavily guarded, it was not discovered because Fang Jianwei and the others were several thousand meters away, and Fang Jianwei and the others were very hidden.

After a while, Fang Jianwei put down his telescope and a gloomy look appeared in his eyes.

Yan Ling, who was lying beside him, asked in a low voice: "District Mayor, have you discovered anything?"

Fang Jianwei said: "The Japanese have just transported a large amount of oil. The aviation fuel stored in the warehouse is probably tens of thousands of tons!"

After a moment of pause, Fang Jianwei said again: "Shanghai, it seems that it has become a very important overseas aviation fuel supply base for the Japanese Navy!"

Yan Ling said in a deep voice: "District Mayor, I'll go and blow it up!"

"Don't do anything randomly," Fang Jianwei said hurriedly, "The Japanese's oil depot is no better than the Japanese 13th Army headquarters. Although the 13th Army command is also heavily guarded, it is crowded after all, and there are also complex sewer systems for you to use. However, in the Pudong oil depot, there are no conditions for you to use."

"Then you have to blow it up, too." Yan Ling said, "Otherwise the Japanese planes can carry out endless bombings on Yinjiang, and Yinjiang will definitely be lost at that time."

"Ofy it, of course, must be fried." Fang Jianwei said, "but you can't do it randomly."

Yan Ling's heart moved and asked in a deep voice: "District Mayor, have you already planned?"

"Plan?" Fang Jianwei smiled and said, "I had already planned half a month ago, and I'm almost ready now."

Yan Ling said in surprise: "District Mayor, are you talking about the Dunhuang Plan?"

"That's right." Fang Jianwei said in a deep voice, "The Dunhuang plan is prepared for the oil warehouse!"
