"Temporarily forming the Seventy-ninth Division?" Tiegang was stunned for a moment, and then asked eagerly, "Young Master, but you defeated the headquarters of the 6th Japanese Infantry Regiment in Wuxi and killed the Japanese Prince in Baoxing Town. Fushimi Miya Toshihiko, and the temporary 79th Division that completely annihilated the Japanese Chongteng detachment in Nantong?"
"What's wrong?" Yan Yuhui said, "You don't want to go?"
"I do, I do. []" Tiegang waved his hands hurriedly and said hurriedly, "Come on, I do. I have long wanted to meet this temporary 79th Division and meet that independent battalion commander."
"Then why are you still here grinding?" Yan Yuhui scolded with a smile, "Why don't you hurry up."
"Yes!" Tie Gang stood upright with a snap, saluted Yan Yuhui and Xiang Tianhu, then turned around and hurried away.
In less than a moment, there was a sound of horses neighing and people shouting outside the headquarters, and then the sound of horse hooves gradually faded away.
It wasn't until Tiegang had led the cavalry battalion away that Yan Yuhui said, "Master, the cavalry battalion has been dispatched. Shouldn't we send a notice to the theater commander's department?"
"That's your chief of staff's business." Xiang Tianhu said, "Why are you asking me?"
Yan Yuhui grinned and asked again: "Master, tell me honestly, do you have any thoughts about the remnants of the temporary 79th Division?"
"Ideas?" Xiang Tianhu said with a sly smile, "What ideas can I have?"
Yan Yuhui smiled and said: "Master, how many years have we been brothers, and I still don't know you?"
Xiang Tianhu no longer denied it, and sighed: "Okay, I admit, I am really interested in this independent battalion of the 79th Division. To be honest, such a unit that can fight is really not good. If the independent battalion of the temporary 79th Division is willing to join our 180th Division, I will immediately expand it into an independent regiment. Personnel, equipment, supplies, etc. will be replenished first. If he is not satisfied, I will expand it into an independent battalion. The Independence Brigade is not non-negotiable.”
Yan Yuhui smiled and said, "Master, if you give me face like this, no one will refuse it."
"That's not true." Xiang Tianhu was not so confident, and waved his hand and said, "People don't even look down on Deputy Commander-in-Chief Wan, so what am I, a mere division commander? But then again, even if This independent camp cannot be a family with us, and I also want to make friends with him."

"Ha...yawn!" Xu Rui sneezed violently and woke up from a deep sleep.
Not far away, Leng Tiefeng was also awakened by Xu Rui. He sat up from the temporary "hammock" made of canvas, then stretched for a long time and let out a sigh of contentment. The sleep just now was really... He slept well. Except for the night at Xu Mansion in Baoxing Town, he had never slept so well.
"Yawn, yawn." Xu Rui sneezed twice more in succession, then touched his nose and cursed, "Fuck, it must be that Japanese devil Hirohito who is cursing me again."
"You can just do it there." Leng Tiefeng said angrily, "He is also the emperor of a country, how can he know that you are a battalion commander?"
"What's wrong with the battalion commander? Which division commander or army commander can match the damage I, the battalion commander, caused to Japan?" Xu Rui snorted lightly, and then said, "In the Battle of Songhu, there are more than a hundred divisions, which division can kill There are more Japs than our independent battalion? Ask them to wipe out a Japs detachment as well."
"Okay, I can't compare to you." Leng Tiefeng regretted mentioning this to Xu Rui, and immediately changed the topic and said to Xu Rui, "Old Xu, it's getting dark soon."
Xu Rui looked up and found that the sky was indeed starting to get dark.
"It's getting dark, okay." Xu Rui picked up the 38 cap that was lying at his feet, pulled the bolt of the gun, opened the leather magazine, took out a magazine with five bullets and pressed it into the chamber, and then pushed it Loading the bullet, he added, "It's getting dark, and tonight's killing feast should begin. Japs, just wait, grandpa will come to you soon."
Leng Tiefeng looked at Xu Rui and decided to try his best to persuade him.
At that moment, Leng Tiefeng said again: "Old Xu, I know I shouldn't vent your anger at this time, but after thinking about it again, I think it is necessary to remind you that a gentleman's revenge is never too late in ten years, so we should break out of the encirclement quickly. serious."
Xu Rui frowned and said: "Veteran, why did you go back again? Didn't I already follow you? A gentleman's revenge is never too late in ten years. That's someone else's fault. Our independent camp doesn't do this. We are gentlemen's revenge. From morning to night, if I cannot avenge the 150-odd brothers in the company today, I am not worthy to be their battalion commander."
"Okay, let's take revenge." Seeing that Xu Rui had made up his mind, Leng Tiefeng could only do the next best thing and said, "We have already killed almost a team before, and if we kill another seventy or eighty people, it will be enough." Now that we can gather 150 people, the company's revenge can be considered avenged, Lao Xu, are you?"
"150 people?" Xu Rui said coldly, "That's not enough."
Leng Tiefeng said: "Then how many Japs do you have to kill to be enough?"
"How many kills are enough?" Xu Rui smiled ferociously at the night sky and said, "Kill them all is enough!"
"What are you doing,... kill them all?!" Two black lines immediately appeared on Leng Tiefeng's forehead.
"Yes, kill them all, leave no one behind!!!" Xu Rui picked out a piece of mud from the sole of his shoe, crushed it into pieces, then dipped his fingers in the mud and applied it on his face to create a simple jungle camouflage.
Xu Rui is not blind, but he really has this idea.
When the company was still there, he had to first consider the safety of the entire company's officers and soldiers, so he would inevitably shrink from doing so.
But now, all members of the company have been killed, and only he and Leng Tiefeng are left. Xu Rui can let go and have fun with the Japanese. With the skills of Xu Rui and Leng Tiefeng, he can torture the Japanese. Not a problem.
At night and in the jungle terrain, in front of them, the Japanese are no better than sheep waiting to be slaughtered!
Leng Tiefeng was not as optimistic as Xu Rui, and said in a deep voice: "Old Xu, I must remind you that from the information we have obtained, the Japs who entered the Qixing Lake Swamp had at least two infantry brigades, plus the Japs' Cavalry, just the two of us, can we kill so many Japs?"
Xu Rui didn't say another word. He just turned over and fell down from the "hammock".
When the person was in the air, Xu Rui had a bayonet in his hand, a 38-style bayonet. Xu Rui took the bayonet and lightly touched it on the trunk of the big tree. The falling figure was blocked by the bayonet, slowing down his descent. Speed, then drew the knife, and fell down again. After two alternations, Xu Rui's feet stood firmly on the ground.
Leng Tiefeng's descent was not as elegant as Xu Rui's. He could only climb down along the rope and jumped when he was still more than two meters above the ground.
Xu Rui closed his eyes, and his perception spread like a spider's thread.
At a certain moment, Xu Rui's slightly closed eyes suddenly opened and said: "There is a Japanese infantry team at the four o'clock direction. Kill this infantry team first!"
Before he finished speaking, Xu Rui had already rushed out with the 38 big cover. In the blink of an eye, Xu Rui was already dozens of meters away. Leng Tiefeng had no choice but to follow quickly. .

Haian Town Ancestral Hall, Tachibana Detachment Headquarters.
Time passed quietly in the anxious waiting, and the sky became darker and darker.
Now Tachibana Yoshio is not only worried about the sweep of Qixing Lake, but also worried about the interception of the remaining troops of the temporary 79th Division.
If the search at Qixing Lake ends in vain and the pursuit of the remaining troops of the temporary 79th Division fails, then this attack on Hai'an will be a complete failure.
If this is the case, how should Commander Shan Shanyuan explain it
When Tachibana Yoshio was anxious, footsteps suddenly sounded behind him.
When he looked back anxiously, he saw Kasahara Goro walking into the war room.
As soon as Kasahara Goro entered the war room, Tachibana Yoshio asked: "Kasahara-san, how is the progress of the island detachment? Have you intercepted the remaining troops of the temporary 79th Division?"
The island detachment is the temporary establishment of the troops sent by Tachibana Keio to intercept the independent battalion.
"No." Goro Kasahara shook his head solemnly and said, "The island detachment was stubbornly blocked by the Chinese army on the south bank of the Tongyang River. When the flanking cavalry detoured from another wooden bridge five miles away to the north bank, the temporary formation The remainder of the 79th Division has already fled into the forest area north of Hai'an Town."
"Nani?" Tachibana Yoshio's face immediately darkened.
It's just that Tachibana Keio was not angry, let alone cursed, because Tachibana Keio also knew very well that the situation in front of him could be caused by him. If he hadn't insisted on concentrating his troops to sweep the Qixing Lake swamp, at most he would have deployed two infantry squadrons to intercept it in advance. , it is very likely to intercept the remaining troops of the temporary 79th Division.
Therefore, Tachibana Yoshio is not qualified to blame others, let alone curse others.
What made Tachibana Yoshio feel extremely embarrassed was that there was no progress in the sweep of Qixing Lake Swamp.
The two extremely powerful Chinese soldiers were still on the run. They disappeared without a trace like air.
Seeing Tachibana Yoshio's solemn expression, Kasahara advised: "Captain, you don't have to worry too much. Although the remaining troops of the temporary 79th Division have fled into the forest, the Island Squadron has already grabbed them. As long as nothing unexpected happens, we should be able to intercept and eliminate them before midnight."
Tachibana Qingxiong nodded and said, "What about Qixing Lake? Did you find anything?"
"No." Kasahara Goro's expression became solemn in an instant, and he shook his head and said, "The 1st Infantry Brigade, the 1st Battalion and the Cavalry Team have been searching for more than three hours, but until now, nothing has been found. Those two cunning The Chinese soldiers just disappeared out of thin air.”
"Baga!" Tachibana Yoshio could no longer hold back his anger.
Tachibana Yoshio on the island team was not qualified to scold him, but he couldn't bear it on Qixing Lake.
Tachibana Yoshio cursed loudly: "What on earth are these two idiots Maeda and Matsui doing? Two infantry brigades and a cavalry corps, more than 2,000 people, and still can't find two people?"
Kasahara said: "Detachment leader, the terrain of Qixing Lake swamp is still too complicated."
"This is no reason!" Tachibana Keio waved his hand fiercely and shouted, "Kasahara-san, tell Maeda and Matsui, give them another half time, and they must find the two Shina soldiers within half an hour!"
"Hai." Kasahara Goro paused heavily and turned around.
