Xu Rui smiled and said: "Whether you want to stay or leave, please do as you please. Our independent camp will never force you."

Xiao Yanyue had already made a decision in her heart, but she still said: "Battle Commander Xu, our Southern Jiangsu guerrillas can accept the incorporation of your independent battalion, but we also have a condition."

Xu Rui raised his hands and said, "Captain Xiao, please speak."

Xiao Yanyue exchanged glances with Jiang Nan without leaving any trace, and then said: "Our condition is that we will never do anything that harms the people, and Battalion Commander Xu cannot force us to beat our own people. Apart from these two points, regardless of whether Xu Battalion We never hesitate to do whatever our commanders ask us to do, and we Communists are never ambiguous about fighting the Japanese."

"Okay." Xu Rui said simply, "I can promise you."

Xiao Yanyue smiled sweetly and said, "Then we are a family now, hehe."

Xu Rui also smiled slightly, then turned to Deputy Wan Ying and said, "Deputy Wan Ying, where are you?"

Deputy Wan Ying said simply: "We have already discussed this, and we will follow you, Commander Xu."

"Very good." Xu Rui said, "Then your designation is the 1st Company of the Independent Battalion, Deputy Wan Ying. You are still the Battalion Deputy, but you have to serve as the commander of the 1st Company first. Don't you have any objections?"

"No objection." Deputy Wan Ying stood at attention and saluted, "See the camp seat."

"No need." Xu Rui returned the gift, but did not ask for the opinions of Jiang Nan, Cui Jiu, and the Fuxing Society Rangers. Instead, he directly issued the order, "In this way, the 1st Company is familiar with the nearby terrain, and you will be the leader. Reconnaissance advance in the direction of Rugao, 2nd Company, 3rd Company and 4th Company dig holes and bury excess weapons and equipment."

"Yes!" Several company commanders stood upright, then turned around and walked away.

Several company commanders went their separate ways, but veteran Leng Hanfeng came to Xu Rui.

Leng Hanfeng asked Xu Rui: "Where should we go next? Go straight west to Damei Mountain?"

"That's not possible." Xu Rui shook his head decisively and said, "Damei Mountain is connected to the Yangtze River to the south, Jinpu Railway to the east, and is separated from Nanjing by the Yangtze River. At this time, the Japanese's eight divisions with more than 200,000 soldiers are here. In Nanjing, just a few hundred of us were walking by in a daze at this time. Isn’t it like lighting lanterns in a manhole and looking for shit (to die)?”

"That's the truth." Leng Hanfeng said, "Then where should we go?"

"Let's go north," Xu Rui said, "and then turn west and go to Damei Mountain."

"To the north?" The veteran frowned and whispered, "Old Xu, don't say I didn't warn you. To the north is Huainan. Huainan is now the territory of the 59th Army."

"What?" Xu Rui said calmly, "Are you still afraid that the 59th Army will recruit us?"

"That's hard to say." Leng Hanfeng said, "The Northwest Army is in dire straits, and most importantly, there is no money or water."

"Then he must have that ability." Xu Rui curled his lips and said, "Our independent battalion is not even afraid of the Chongteng detachment, but we are still afraid of his mere 59th Army? If he doesn't understand, I will recruit him."

The veteran shook his head and said, "Just pretend I didn't say anything."

(Dividing line)

Haian Town is located at the junction of Nantong, Taizhou and Yancheng cities. It is a water and land transportation hub in central Jiangsu Province and can be said to be a battleground for military strategists.

After the defeat in the Battle of Songhu, the Kuomintang army was defeated like a mountain.

The Iijima Division and the Chongteng Detachment landed from Nantong and advanced westward along Jiangbei. The regular Kuomintang troops stationed in Jiangbei and the Jiangsu Provincial Security Group fled.

With this retreat, they retreated to central Jiangsu, and Hai'an Town became the front line.

Currently stationed in Hai'an is an independent regiment of the 180th Division of the 59th Army. [△网.]

The 59th Army was originally part of Song Zheyuan's 29th Army. After the July 7th Lugou Bridge Incident, Song Zheyuan's 29th Army was expanded into the 1st Group Army, which had three infantry corps and one cavalry corps. The 59th Army consisted of three infantry corps. One of the armies, the 29th Army is Feng Yuxiang's old foundation of the Northwest Army, and its military discipline is still very good.

After the 180th Division Independent Regiment was ordered to arrive at Hai'an Town, it did not enter the town to disturb the people. Instead, it stationed itself in a temple outside the town and began to build fortifications along the north bank of Manyang River.

The military discipline of the Independent Regiment is very good, but the fortifications built are not satisfactory.

In the final analysis, whether it is the reorganized 1st Group Army, the previous 29th Army, or even the Northwest Army in the Feng Yuxiang era, they are basically the old army. Both the senior generals and the grassroots officers in the army are basically the same. He has not received formal military school education, and he still believes in the Beiyang period.

Building fortifications is basically just a line or a trench, with no depth at all.

As for traffic trenches, foxholes, machine gun bunkers, and semi-buried machine gun nests, there are none.

Furthermore, the vigilance of the Independent Regiment of the 180th Division was also quite lax, because after the Japanese troops landed in Nantong, they pushed all the way to the west and did not fight north. At first, the Independent Regiment remained quite vigilant, but after a few days, , the vigilance of the independent group gradually relaxed. People are like this, they are all inert.

Early that morning, an old soldier wearing only a single coat came up to the guard position to change the guard with a gun in his hand and his hands in full swing.

The Northwest Army has been in poverty since the Feng Yuxiang era. There were so many warlords in the Beiyang period, including the Zhili clique, the Anhui clique, the Feng clique, and Feng Yuxiang's Northwest Army. No one can say which clique is best at fighting, but we can say which clique has the longest life. Bitter, that must be Feng Yuxiang's Northwest Army. They usually dress like a group of beggars.

Now that the Northwest Army has lost its huge territory in North China, life is even more miserable. It's winter, and the soldiers are still wearing single clothes.

Another veteran who had been standing on the guard position for two hours took off his tattered sheepskin jacket, handed it to the veteran who had just come up, said something and then left.

The newly arrived veteran soldier put on his torn sheepskin coat and huddled up in the corner of the position.

The security position is surrounded by low walls made of sandbags. Although it is not high, it can block the wind. However, the surrounding situation cannot be seen in this way. The old soldier who just arrived did not take it seriously. The Japanese have been fighting to the west. He didn't come to the north at all, so it didn't matter whether he was on guard or not. He just had to stay up for an hour.

However, this veteran soldier never expected that danger would come inadvertently.

A little Japanese suddenly jumped out of the grass less than 20 meters away from the security position. After a few steps, he was already outside the position. The old soldier who was huddled in the corner to keep warm seemed to have heard the footsteps of the Japanese and immediately held his hand. Qiang stood up, but before he could stand up completely, the Japs had already pounced on him.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the old army opened his mouth to shout, but unfortunately, before the old army could make a sound, the Japs had already stretched out his big hand like a cattail leaf fan and covered his mouth. In the next moment, a bright hand came out. The bayonet stabbed through the old soldier's neck with a clang, and bright red blood shot out from the old soldier's neck like a sharp arrow.

Lao Jun struggled hard, but after only two struggles, he collapsed.

In less than a moment, the look in Lao Jun's wide eyes dimmed.

As soon as the Japs let go, they lowered the old army's body to the ground, then stood up and waved to the bushes where he was hiding just now. The next moment, the Japs one after another emerged from the bushes, and then quickly scattered in all directions, silently. He rushed towards a military camp less than 20 meters away from the security position.

The Nationalist Army officers and soldiers in the military camp were still sleeping soundly, unaware that the crisis had arrived.

There was no suspense in the result. Faced with the enemy's carefully planned sneak attack, the 180th Division Independent Regiment was not vigilant enough. A main battalion of more than 500 officers and soldiers stationed in the peripheral positions was killed by the enemy while they were still sleeping. The remaining The two main battalions and the regiment's special agent company also fell into the siege of the Japanese because the peripheral troops failed to warn them in time.

The Northwest Army is notoriously poorly equipped, otherwise there would be no Machete Corps. Since the 180th Division Independent Regiment was a temporarily expanded unit, its equipment was even worse. It faced the Japanese mortars, heavy machine guns, and light machine guns. , the remaining two main battalions of the independent regiment plus the spy company at the regiment headquarters were unable to fight back.

In less than half an hour, the 180th Division Independent Regiment was completely wiped out, and not a single soldier escaped!

After taking control of the entire position, several Japanese officers wearing woolen coats, surrounded by a large group of Japanese, appeared at the guard position in front of the Independent Regiment. The Japanese officer at the front had the rank of major general on his shoulder straps. , behind him there are two colonels and three lieutenants.

This Japanese Major General is none other than Tachibana Yoshio.

After Tachibana Keio was appointed as the detachment leader by Sugimoto Yuan, he immediately found Ogahara Shunsi who was recuperating in the naval hospital. After communicating with Ogahara Shunsi, Tachibana Keio took a naval battleship and rushed to Taizhou overnight to meet with the troops. Rendezvous, and then personally led an independent brigade to attack Haian Town.

After a day and night of forced marching, Tachibana Yoshio finally led his troops to Haian Town before dawn the next day, then ordered the troops to take a short rest and captured Haian Town in one fell swoop.

The progress of the war can be said to be very smooth, so smooth that it exceeded Tachibana Yoshio's imagination.

However, Tachibana Yoshio did not feel lucky at all, because his mission on this trip was not just to capture Haian Town, but after capturing Haian Town, he would set up a trap and open a big net, waiting for the temporary 79th Division. From the net!

Tachibana Yoshio and several colonels and lieutenants had just stood still when a major came over in a hurry.

"Captain of the detachment." The Major bowed his head in salute and reported, "All the Chinese troops stationed in Hai'an have been eliminated."

"Yo Xi." Tachibana Yoshio nodded happily and added, "Maeda-san, order the 1st Infantry Squadron to put on China military uniforms and defend the China Army's position. The other infantry squadrons, artillery teams, heavy machine gun squadrons and cavalry teams will immediately Enter the woods on both sides of the position and wait for cover. Do not attack without my order."

"Hai." The Major lowered his head again and said, "But detachment leader, there are still many Chinese people who have not left in Hai'an Town. What should we do with these Chinese people?"

Tachibana Yoshio frowned.

Tachibana Yoshio does not care about the life or death of Chinese people, even innocent civilians.

However, if possible, Tachibana Yoshio is still unwilling to get blood on his hands.

A senior officer behind him immediately came up and said, "Detachment leader, keeping these Chinese people here is likely to leak the news."

Tachibana Yoshio nodded and said: "Order, kill all the Chinese people in Hai'an Town, regardless of gender, old or young, without leaving a single one alive!" Mobile phone users please visit w for a better reading experience.
