Shanshan Yuan said: "Tachibana-san, tell me your judgment."
Tachibana Yoshio said: "Your Excellency, Commander, the detailed battle report of the Battle of Nantong has not yet been submitted, so I dare not say anything more, but the remnants of the 79th Division were temporarily organized to break out from Wuxi and ambush Prince Gong in Baoxing. I have carefully read the battle reports of His Highness and the three battles in which he escaped from the imperial army's pursuit in the Likou Jungle."
After a pause, Tachibana Yoshio continued: "From these three battles, it can be seen that the remaining combat power of the temporary 79th Division is very strong. They can even fight continuously without sleep for seventy-two hours. The most elite Guards division in the Japanese Empire is only as powerful as this."
Shan Shanyuan nodded solemnly and signaled Tachibana Yoshio to continue.
Tachibana Yoshio Hayi said, "As for the commander of the temporary 79th Division, he has extraordinary tactical command attainments and unimaginable ability to capture fighter planes."
Shan Shan Yuan frowned and said solemnly: "Why do you see it?"
Tachibana Yoshio praised a high-ranking official in such a way, which made Shanshan Yuan feel a little uncomfortable.
In the final analysis, Shan Shanyuan's contempt for the Chinese cannot be easily reversed.
What is strange is that Tachibana Yoshio does not seem to have any contempt for the Chinese.
Tachibana Yoshio continued: "Take the breakout battle in Wuxi as an example. The temporary 79th Division first fought a beautiful small ambush in the city center, annihilated a support team, and seduced the commander of the 6th Infantry Regiment. The officials made a wrong judgment and transferred the main force to the center of Wuxi to gather and annihilate the main force of the Kuomintang army that did not exist.
As a result, each block was left empty of troops, and the remnants of the temporary 79th Division were able to break through calmly.
Whether it was the mobilization of the imperial army or the selection of the retreat route, everything was exquisite to the extreme. This is enough to prove that the commander of the temporary 79th Division has extremely high command attainments.
As for the ability to capture fighter planes, there is no need to say more.
Whether it is a counterattack on the headquarters of the 6th Infantry Regiment after a breakout, or an ambush of His Royal Highness the Prince's special train, fighter planes are fleeting. If the commander of the temporary 79th Division does not have the first-class ability to capture fighter planes, he must It is completely impossible to destroy the headquarters of the 6th Infantry Regiment and to attack and kill His Royal Highness. "
After Tachibana Yoshio finished speaking, silence fell in the office.
Sugimoto Yuan looked at Tachibana Yoshio. He didn't speak for a long time and didn't know what he was thinking.
Tachibana Yoshio was also calm, neither embarrassed nor impatient.
Several minutes passed before Shanshan Yuan asked again: "Tachibana-san, I heard someone said that the captain of the 6th Infantry Regiment, Tachibana Koji, who unfortunately died in Baoxing, was the younger brother of your compatriot? "
"Hai." Tachibana Yoshio said with a heavy pause, "My brother is incompetent and has brought shame to the imperial army and the empire."
Shanshan Yuan waved his hand and said in a faint tone: "Tachibana-san, do you want to avenge your brother?"
"Your Excellency, Commander, I am a soldier. Soldiers only have national interests in their eyes and have no personal grudges. Therefore, I will never step onto the battlefield because of personal grudges." Tachibana Yoshio stood at attention and said, "However, As long as the empire needs it, I will never hesitate to hold a humble position, even if it means going up the mountain of swords or falling into the frying pan."
"Yo Xi." Shan Shan Yuan nodded happily, finally making a decision in his heart.
(Dividing line)
The independent battalion of the 79th Division temporarily issued a clear code to electrify not long ago. It was like a meteor falling into the calm sea, instantly causing a huge hurricane.
Fuxingshe Shanghai Station was the first to receive the signal.
After seeing the telegram, Li Hongsong, the head of Shanghai Station of Fuxing Society, was so surprised that his jaw almost dropped to the ground. However, after the surprise, Li Hongsong quickly forwarded the telegram to the headquarters of Fuxing Society. After receiving the telegram, Fuxing Society headquarters It was immediately transferred to the Wuhan camp and then submitted to Chairman Chiang Kai-shek's desk.
After Chairman Chiang saw this telegram, he felt really mixed emotions.
To say that he was unhappy, Chairman Chiang was actually very happy. Anyway, the Chinese army won a great victory in Nantong. One guy ate up an entire detachment of Little Japan. This was the first time since the Sino-Japanese war broke out. The Chinese Communist Army has won the most successful battle. Can Chairman Chiang be unhappy
Although he was happy, Chairman Chiang was really not happy.
Because the predecessor of the temporary 79th Division was the 79th Route Army, which was a force with "a history of rebellion", after breaking out of Wuxi, the remnants of the temporary 79th Division refused the arrangement of the third theater and insisted on He refused to go to the border between Zhejiang, Jiangxi and Anhui and insisted on crossing the river to go north. He imitated the Communist Party in engaging in independent resistance. How could Chairman Chiang be happy
While feeling emotional, Chairman Chiang made another decision: At all costs, the remnants of the temporary 79th Division must return to the combat order of the Kuomintang Army. Such a unit that dares to fight, knows how to fight, and can fight, if If the Communist Party really pulls them away, that would be terrible. When Little Japan is driven away in the future, won’t the Kuomintang have a powerful enemy
With this realization, Chairman Chiang immediately issued the highest instructions to the Fuxing Society.
After giving instructions to the Fuxing Society, Chairman Chiang scolded Deputy Commander-in-Chief Wan of the Third War Zone.
After receiving Chairman Chiang's instructions, Boss Dai of the Fuxing Society immediately sent a telegram to Shanghai Station Director Li Hongsong to implement them in detail.
After Li Hongsong received the telegram from his immediate boss, Boss Dai, he thought about it and felt that he could only rely on Jiangnan for this matter. He immediately sent an ambiguous telegram to Jiangnan. , but clearly showed his intention to let Jiang Nan use the honey trap.
(Dividing line)
Jiangnan came to the edge of the Yangtze River alone.
Under the bright moonlight, the scenery along the river is vaguely discernible.
Most of the corpses of the Japanese that were originally piled up by the river have been swept away by the river, and the smell of blood that permeates the air is much lighter than in the afternoon. Under the wash of the river, the traces of the war are fading quickly, at most. In two days, I'm afraid there will no longer be any trace of the fierce battle here.
Looking back, the entire ruins of Nantong City were immersed in boundless silence.
The Independence Battalion, the remnants of the 67th Army, the guerrillas, and the members of the Fuxing Society Rangers have all fallen into a deep sleep. The fierce battles during the day have exhausted their physical strength and energy. After all, they are still flesh and blood. After all, you still have to eat and sleep.
But for Jiang Nan, tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
Jiang Nan had no idea that Li Hongsong would give her such a task.
Needless to say, from a female perspective, Xu Rui is fatally attractive. He is tall, straight, and has sharp facial contours, especially a pair of eyes that are so bright that they can almost pierce people's hearts. Every time they meet Xu Rui's gaze, , Jiangnan could not help but feel her blush and heartbeat. It was a very subtle feeling.
In other words, Jiang Nan is not resistant to falling in love with Xu Rui.
Jiang Nan is even mentally prepared to fall in love with Xu Rui.
But Li Hongsong's telegram destroyed Jiangnan's feeling.
Honey trap? It's a shame that Li Hongsong figured it out, so she wouldn't agree.
Jiang Nan was just thinking about something when he suddenly heard light footsteps behind him. When he turned around, he saw a petite figure walking slowly over under the moonlight.
Behind that petite figure, there was a man as big as a mountain.
It was Xiao Yanyue from the guerrillas and the soldiers who came. Xiao Yanyue said something to the soldiers, and the soldiers immediately turned around and walked into the nearby ruins and hid themselves.
Xiao Yanyue came straight over and greeted Jiang Nan: "Miss Jiang."
Jiang Nan smiled and said, "Yanzi, didn't I tell you? Just call me by my name. Otherwise, you can call me Sister Jiang Nan. I seem to be half a year older than you."
"Then, I'll call you Sister Jiangnan." Xiao Yanyue said.
Jiang Nan hummed and said, "Yanzi, it's so late, why aren't you sleeping yet?"
"I can't sleep." Xiao Yanyue shook her head and said, "As soon as I close my eyes, all I see in front of me is the scene of little devils crowded on the river beach, lining up for us to massacre."
Jiang Nan smiled bitterly upon hearing this, another one that frightened Xu Rui.
But, to be honest, Jiang Nan really scared Xu Rui.
Before today, Jiang Nan had never thought that a war could be fought like this.
The remnants of less than 600 soldiers actually wiped out a Japanese detachment of nearly 10,000 people. This was completely beyond the limits of Jiangnan's imagination, and it completely subverted her understanding of war.
Xiao Yanyue sat down next to Jiang Nan, holding her cheeks in her hands, and said softly: "Sister Jiang Nan, what do you think of Commander Xu's head? How could he come up with such a terrible idea? How could he Formulate such a powerful plan? How come a Japanese who is usually so cruel is so unbeatable in his hands?"
Xiao Yanyue asked four questions in quick succession, but Jiang Nan couldn't answer any of them.
Of course, Xiao Yanyue didn't need Jiangnan's answer, she was just expressing her emotions.
After staring at Jiangnan for a while, Xiao Yanyue said again: "Sister Jiangnan, do you think Battalion Commander Xu will really join our New Fourth Army with the temporary independent battalion of the 79th Division?"
Jiang Nan didn't answer but asked: "Do you want Battalion Commander Xu to join the New Fourth Army?"
"Yes, of course I do." Xiao Yanyue said without thinking, "I just told the soldiers that if Battalion Commander Xu can lead the independent battalion to join our New Fourth Army, then our New Fourth Army will not only have five or six hundred more people. , by then the strength of our New Fourth Army will increase exponentially, and commanders like Battalion Commander Xu who know how to fight are simply treasures."
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Jiang Nan's lips, and he added, "What did Secretary Zhang say before you came?"
Xiao Yanyue whispered: "Secretary Zhang said that after we join the temporary 79th Division, we will obey your command."
Jiang Nan said: "Well, I will give you a task now." (To be continued.)
