Tachibana Koji's eyes widened and he stared at the bumpy wall in front of him, as if he wanted to see a hole in the wall, passing through the endless layers of soil and reaching the mysterious underground world.
Unfortunately, Tachibana Koji does not have clairvoyance after all.
Just after noon, Tachibana Koji personally led the tank squadron directly under the regiment to the center of Wuxi, and personally directed the Akita Brigade to conduct a sweeping sweep of the center of Wuxi. However, after an afternoon of searching, nothing was found, not to mention the camp. There are no remnants of the Kuomintang army organized at the level of the squad, and even the remnants of the Kuomintang army organized above the squad level have not appeared.
Until two hours ago, a sweep team discovered an extremely secretive secret room in the basement of the building where the temporary headquarters of the 79th Division was located. After finding this secret room, Tachibana Koji thought he had discovered the entrance to the National Army tunnel. Then, even after all the lime walls of the darkroom were torn down, no tunnel entrance was found.
"Hagagaru." Tachibana Koji cursed and finally began to reflect on his previous judgment.
If there really is a tunnel in the center of Wuxi, it is impossible for so many people to search for it all afternoon without finding anything. Moreover, the Chinese army that retreated into the tunnel cannot be so calm, and there is not even a small-scale attack. , could it be wrong from the beginning? There are no Chinese military units with battalion or above levels in the center of Wuxi
The more Tachibana Koji thought about it, the more suspicious he felt. He called Major Akita over and asked, "Akita-san, have you found the support team that disappeared before?"
Major Akita quickly replied: "Report to the captain that the missing Inoue team has been found."
Tachibana Koji immediately said: "Take me to the place where Inoue's team was attacked."
"Hai." Major Akita bowed deeply, then turned around and led the way.
However, just as the two of them walked out of the secret room, a communications staff officer hurriedly came forward and reported: "Liant Commander, Commander Xiaolin requests to speak to you."
"Kobayashi-san?" Tachibana Koji frowned and quickly walked back to the command vehicle.
"Kobayashi-san, what happened?" Tachibana Koji asked urgently as he took the radio from the operator.
"Captain, I just received a call from the headquarters of the Condemned Forces." Jiro Kobayashi's voice came from the radio station, "The Commander asked us to look for a certain couplet from a certain academy."
"Nani?" Tachibana Koji said in shock, "A couplet?"
"Hai." Kobayashi Jiro said, "Something like the sound of wind and rain."
"The sound of wind and rain?" Tachibana Koji said, "I understand, is it the sound of wind and rain, the sound of reading, the sound that reaches my ears, family affairs, state affairs, world affairs, and concern for everything? This is a couplet hung in front of the mountain gate of Donglin Academy , was written by Gu Xiancheng in the Ming Dynasty, with the intention of persuading academy disciples to participate in and care about political affairs."
"Hai, this is the couplet. The captain is really knowledgeable."
"Why did your Excellency, Commander, suddenly think of collecting Gu Xiancheng's couplets?"
"This is something I don't even know about even my humble position. Captain, what should I do now?"
"What else can we do? Since this is the request of the Commander, of course we must try our best to meet it. You immediately send an infantry team to Donglin Academy..." Speaking of this, Tachibana Koji suddenly thought that due to the deployment of troops, there have been many The remnants of the Shaoguo Army broke out from Wuxi, and it was difficult to ensure safety by sending only an infantry group to Donglin Academy.
Especially now that it's dark, it's even more dangerous. At that moment, Tachibana Koji changed his mind and said, "Let's send a small team."
"But, Wing Commander, the headquarters currently only has one squadron. If another squadron is sent out, the headquarters will only have two squadrons of garrison strength left. In case..."
"There is no such thing as a chance." Tachibana Koji said disapprovingly, "Even if you borrow ten courages from the Chinese military, they will not dare to attack my headquarters. Kobayashi-san, you can rest assured." Tachibana Koji really doesn't think that China The Chinese military will have the guts or the brains to attack the headquarters secretly, while the Chinese military will only passively defend.
"Hai, I understand, I will send troops right away." Kobayashi Jiro could only agree.
Tachibana Koji put down the walkie-talkie, jumped out of his command vehicle, and said to Major Akita who came forward: "Akita-san, let's go."
"Hai." Major Akita bowed deeply, then turned around and led the way.
(Dividing line)
At Donglin Academy, Xu Rui mercilessly uncovered the scars of the temporary 79th Division.
"What are you dragging? Including your temporary 79th Division, there are three divisions, two of which are Category A divisions of the Second Brigade and Sixth Regiment, with nearly 30,000 people, but they were defeated by a mere Japanese regiment. , the battle is going like this, I really can’t think of it, what do you have to hold on to? Aren’t you ashamed?”
Xu Rui's words were like sharp arrows, piercing the hearts of the remaining soldiers of the temporary 79th Division.
More than 400 remnant soldiers all lowered their heads in shame. However, despite being ashamed, many of the remnant soldiers also showed strong resentment on their faces: Yes, we did not fight well in this battle in Wuxi, but Can you blame us? The war had just begun, but the division and regimental headquarters were already in the hands of the Japanese. Without effective command, how could we fight this war
Xu Rui walked down the steps, and the remaining soldiers standing in the patio involuntarily made way for a passage.
Xu Rui walked through the remnant soldiers, his hawk-like eyes swept over the remnant soldiers' faces, and then said: "You feel wronged and aggrieved, right? The fighting has just begun, and the entire division's command system has been attacked by the Japanese. Officials can't find soldiers, soldiers can't find officials, those who need support can't get support, and those who need to attack can't get orders to attack. As a result, you are divided and surrounded by the devils and defeated one by one. I can't blame you at all. , you must all think so, right?"
"But what I want to tell you is that if you lose, you lose. Never look for any excuse!"
"I tell you, there is no shame in losing a battle. There is no invincible army in this world."
"What's shameful is that after defeating the battle, you still refuse to admit it and deceive yourself and others!" Xu Rui's sharp eyes swept over the faces of the provocative people just now, and then yelled, "What's even more shameful is that after defeating After the defeat, you fell into despair and your head drooped. Where is your fighting spirit? Where is your backbone as a soldier?"
The remnant soldiers who had their heads drooped just now suddenly perked up when they heard this, and then raised their heads one after another.
"What is a soldier? Let me tell you, even if you have only one breath left, you will never put down your weapons. Even if the sky falls, you can use it as a quilt to cover you. This is what you call a soldier!"
Xu Rui's sharp eyes swept over the faces of the remnant soldiers one by one, and asked sternly: "But look at you, all of you are withered and droopy, and you still look a bit like a soldier. Do you still have a bit of military integrity? Raise your head, you are all giving up your head." I keep my head up, it doesn’t matter if I lose the battle, I just win it again.”
Amid Xu Rui's impassioned lectures, more and more remnant soldiers raised their heads.
Moreover, the expressions on the originally numb faces of the remaining soldiers finally changed.
Xu Rui walked back to the steps, then turned around and faced the more than 400 remaining soldiers at the scene: "We have an old saying in China, which is called tooth for tooth, blood for blood. The little devil took away the command system of our temporary 79th Division and let We have suffered a big loss, and we absolutely cannot let it go like this. Do you dare to follow me and take over the headquarters of the little devils, and let the little devils taste the loss of command, and let them become a bunch of headless flies?"
Do you dare to follow me to the little devil's headquarters
Xu Rui's words were resounding, rolling and stirring in the sky above the academy, lasting for a long time.
However, the more than 400 remnant soldiers on the scene looked at each other in confusion, holding the little devil's command post? Let the little devil also taste the feeling of losing command? Is this possible? Just their three or four hundred remnant soldiers? Just with the more than two hundred guns they have left, and each gun has less than five ammunition? Are you kidding me
Lin Feng, who was standing next to him, also changed his expression. He wanted to attack the Japanese headquarters? Crazy
However, Yang Dashu and the twenty or so remnant soldiers, who had already seen Xu Rui's abilities, became excited after hearing this, and they all started to scream.
"Go ahead, hit the Japanese headquarters!"
"Dui, it's time for the little devil to have a taste of this."
"Mother Diurei, how can they still be so arrogant after we take down the Japs' headquarters?"
Yang Dashu and twenty or so remnant soldiers were there gearing up and shouting, but the eyes of more remnant soldiers around them all focused on them, looking at them with strange eyes.
"What, you don't dare? Are you scared?"
"Don't forget that you are soldiers of the 79th Route Army. There are no cowards in the 79th Route Army!"
"Don't forget that the temporary 79th Division just fought a defeat in Wuxi. More than 6,000 brothers who died in the battle are watching you in the sky. They didn't give up until they died in the battle. Do you have to give up? Don’t you want to avenge the bloody shame of your dead brothers, don’t you want to make a comeback?”
Xu Rui's eyes were as cold as a knife, and he glanced at the remaining soldiers fiercely.
Xu Rui's words were more like a whip, hitting the remnant's soul directly.
There were more than 400 remnant soldiers at the scene, and everyone's eyes suddenly turned red.
That's right, more than 6,000 brothers who died in the battle are watching them in the sky. If these brothers hadn't sacrificed their lives and used their bodies to block bullets for them, how could they have survived until now? If they just ran away, would they still be considered human beings? Now, it's their turn to risk their lives to avenge their brothers who died in battle, and to avenge the temporary 79th Division!
"Tell me!" Xu Rui yelled at the top of his lungs with all his strength, "Are you willing to be a coward for the rest of your life, or a hero for just one day?"
"We are willing to be heroes!" Yang Dashu was the first to respond loudly.
"Yes, we should only be heroes, never cowards!" The twenty or so remnant soldiers who broke out following Xu Rui echoed loudly with fierce expressions. The emotions of Yang Dashu and these twenty or so remnant soldiers soon infected more remnant soldiers. The next moment, all the remaining soldiers roared hysterically.
"Heroes, heroes, we must be heroes!"
"Heroes, heroes, we must be heroes!"
"Heroes, heroes, we must be heroes!"
The responses of the remnant soldiers gradually gathered into a unified voice, like thunder resounding through the sky.
Xu Rui raised his right hand, and the roar of the remnant soldiers suddenly stopped. Xu Rui said with satisfaction: "Very good, I did not misjudge you, you are all heroes of the 79th Route Army! So today, let us use bayonets, just Let us tell the little devils with our fists and teeth that the Chinese... are not easy to mess with!"
“Chinese people are never easy to mess with!”
“Chinese people are never easy to mess with!”
“Chinese people are never easy to mess with!”
Amidst the tsunami-like roar of the remnant soldiers, the veteran who stayed outside on guard came in with a solemn expression, walked to Xu Rui, and whispered a few words into his ear.
