Yang Dashu came over with a brand-new mortar and said to Xu Rui with a smile: "Sir, this battle was so fucking fun. This is the headquarters, the little devil's wing headquarters." We actually won it, Old Mother Diurei, I have been in the army for ten years and I have never fought such a happy battle, haha! It’s so happy, it’s so damn happy!”
"It's just that this battle is so fucking fun."
"No need to say, our old cat is completely convinced."
"Sir Xu, I have never seen an officer who is better at fighting than you!"
"Sir Xu, how great would it be if we could follow you to fight the Japanese a few months earlier?"
The dozen or so remnant soldiers who had gathered with Yang Dashu also nodded in agreement. Not only was the battle fought with minimal casualties, but the Japs' headquarters was also destroyed. The military supplies, weapons and ammunition seized were enough to arm a reinforced regiment. , it is too open. I have never fought a more open battle than this.
Xu Rui smiled and said, "What's this? As long as you follow me, the good days are still to come!"
"That's right, Chief Xu's ability is beyond words." Yang Dashu couldn't help but nodded, and then said, "If you follow Chief Xu, you can only take advantage of the little devil, and you will never suffer any loss!"
As he spoke, Yang Dashu seemed to regard Xu Rui as a real commander.
The other dozen remaining soldiers nodded in agreement and didn't think there was anything wrong.
After previous breakout battles and this surprise attack on the Little Japanese's headquarters, Xu Rui had established absolute authority among the remnants of the temporary 79th Division.
Soldiers have this temperament, simple and straightforward. As long as you have the ability and can lead them to win the battle, they will trust you and obey you. On the contrary, if you have no ability and cannot lead them to win the battle, you will start from the center. Old Chiang disciples who graduated from the military academy or the Army University, these top soldiers will not take advantage of you.
In fact, not to mention the big-headed soldiers, even Lin Feng, the temporary chief of staff of the 79th Division, began to recognize Xu Rui's authority from the bottom of his heart. Frankly speaking, Xu Rui is good at individual combat. A commander who is good at commanding is truly a rare military talent. Lin Feng sincerely hopes that the temporary 79th Division will have a top officer like Xu Rui!
Of course, this is just hope. Lin Feng knows very well that Xu Rui cannot become the commander of the temporary 79th Division, because the Ministry of Military Affairs cannot hand over the temporary 79th Division to a returnee who does not even know his details. Huaqiao, this is not in line with the regulations, and it is even more unreasonable. The Ministry of Military Affairs can at most let Xu Rui be a major staff officer.
But this will all happen after the breakthrough in the future.
As for now, Lin Feng doesn't mind handing over the command to Xu Rui. He only needs to obey the authority when urgent matters arise.
Just as Lin Feng was about to ask Xu Rui what to do next, the veteran in charge of security suddenly came back and reported: "Come in, sir Xu, the little Japs in Wuxi City have returned for reinforcements!"
"The kid's reaction is quite fast." Lin Feng's expression changed and he said.
With such a huge movement in the Little Japs Headquarters, the Japs in Wuxi City would of course come back for reinforcements. Lin Feng just didn't expect that the Japs would be able to complete their assembly so quickly and set off quickly! What Lin Feng didn't know was that it wasn't the Japs who reacted so quickly, but that Tachibana Koji was originally planning to return to the headquarters, but he just caught up.
"Let's go and take a look." Xu Rui immediately took Lin Feng, Yang Dashu and other officers, and followed the veteran straight to the lookout post on the west side of the Japanese headquarters.
When you go up to the watchtower, you can see a motorcade driving out of Wuxi with just your naked eyes without using binoculars.
"One, two, three... twelve, there are more, and there are more after that!" Lin Feng took a breath and said, "This time is really dangerous. If the Japanese chariots are not transferred away, just this One chariot squadron is enough to smash us to pieces, the little devil is really extravagant, one regiment is equipped with an entire chariot squadron!"
Xu Rui said happily: "What if? There is never such a thing as what if on the battlefield."
"That's right. There are no ifs on the battlefield. If we win, we will win." Lin Feng nodded and said, "Old Xu, the goal we set before the war has been achieved. The mental outlook of all the soldiers of the 79th Division is similar." It is completely different from before the war, and the weapons and equipment are even more sophisticated than before the war. Shouldn't we move at night now?"
"Transfer?" Yang Dashu lost his voice, "What to do with the remaining weapons and equipment?"
"They all exploded." Lin Feng said without hesitation, "Not even a hair can be left to the little devil."
"It exploded?" Yang Dashu shouted, "What a good piece of equipment, what a pity it is if it explodes? Why not hide it and come back to get it later when we are short of equipment? How good would it be?"
"You have a great idea, where can I hide it?"
"You can dig holes. Dig a few big holes and bury the weapons."
"The problem is that we don't have time now. The Japanese will arrive as soon as they speak." After Lin Feng finished speaking, he turned back to Xu Rui and said, "Old Xu, please stop hesitating and give the order quickly."
"Okay, then withdraw." Xu Rui also had to admit that facing an entire Japanese tank squadron, plus the Japanese infantry fighting in coordination, with the remaining strength of the temporary 79th Division, it was really a small chance. None, he nodded immediately and agreed to Lin Feng's suggestion, "Blow up all the weapons and equipment that cannot be taken away!"
After saying that, Xu Rui turned around and left. However, just as he turned around, he saw an artillery position near the Japs headquarters out of the corner of his eye. Under the night, only a dozen field artillery pieces and infantry artillery pieces were visible. The characters were lined up, and the black barrels were pointed straight at the city of Wuxi, like monsters that chose people to eat.
The next moment, Xu Rui's right foot that he had just stepped out was stuck in the air.
Lin Feng couldn't stop himself and almost bumped into Xu Rui's back.
"What's wrong, Lao Xu?" Lin Feng asked in surprise, "Why don't you leave?"
"Hehe, haha." Xu Rui suddenly laughed strangely and said, "How could I forget this?"
"What's wrong?" Lin Feng was confused by Xu Rui. He looked at Xu Rui blankly and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xu Rui smiled evilly and said, "Old Lin, there's no need to leave in a hurry. You must have suffered enough from the little Japanese artillery these days. Am I right?"
"What do you need to say?" Lin Feng said with a wry smile, "It's miserable."
Xu Rui smiled and said: "Then today it's time to let the little devils have a taste of being bombarded. This is called tooth for tooth! Eye for eye!"
"Artillery attack?" Lin Feng said blankly, "We don't have cannons."
"Who said we don't have artillery? That's not true!" Xu Rui pointed at six o'clock.
Lin Feng looked in the direction of Xu Rui's finger and saw the artillery position near the Japanese headquarters.
Xu Rui turned to Yang Dashu and shouted sternly: "Yang Dashu, go pick fifty veterans immediately and wait for my order!"
"Yes!" Yang Dashu didn't care what Xu Rui wanted to do. As soon as he heard that Xu Rui was going to fight the Japanese in tit-for-tat, he immediately became excited, turned around and got off the watchtower.
Yang Dashu is almost superstitious about Xu Rui's abilities.
By the time Xu Rui returned to the Japs headquarters, Yang Dashu had selected fifty veterans and were waiting in line there.
Xu Rui gathered twenty crooks and asked twenty veterans to hang their armed belts around their necks to serve as submachine guns. He said: "Your mission is to break through the periphery of the artillery position. Don't save bullets for me, just one. Use the most brutal force." The machine gun fire suppressed the little Japs until they were thirty meters away from the Japs’ position!”
"Yes!" Twenty veterans, all holding crooked handles, responded loudly.
Xu Rui gave another thirty veterans ten melon grenades each and said: "The machine gun team will send you to a distance of thirty meters. Your task is to throw all ten grenades in the shortest time. You must Blast a gap in the enemy's inner circle of defense and clear the way for the commando's desperate charge!"
"Yes!" Thirty veterans, with grenades on their chests and waists, loudly agreed.
Xu Rui turned back to Li Hai, the temporary commander of the 3rd company standing behind him, and said: "The temporary 3rd company is a commando team, and your company has only one mission. When the grenade team opens the gap, follow me and rush into the Japanese artillery position. Get rid of the Japanese artillery unit in the shortest possible time and seize all the Japanese artillery! Remember, you have to move quickly and don’t leave time for the little Japanese to react, otherwise, after the little Japanese reacts, they will blow up the artillery!"
"Yes!" Li Hai, the temporary commander of the 3rd company, also agreed with a bang.
This guy is the remnant soldier who fought with Xu Rui at Donglin Academy.
"Let's take action!" Xu Rui waved his hand, and more than a hundred remaining soldiers turned around and rushed away.
Lin Feng then stepped forward and asked, "Old Xu, do you really want to attack the Japanese artillery positions?"
"Is this even false?" Xu Rui said, "I said a tooth for a tooth, and a tooth for a tooth must be a tooth for a tooth!"
Lin Feng asked anxiously: "But, what time is it now? Before we can take down the artillery position, the Japanese reinforcements from Wuxi City have already arrived. By then, we will be attacked from both sides and be in a dilemma!"
"No!" Xu Rui waved his hand and said domineeringly, "In five minutes at most, we can take down the Japanese artillery positions and seize all the artillery!"
"Five minutes?" Lin Feng looked at Xu Rui dumbfounded, suspecting that he heard wrongly.
There are more than a dozen artillery pieces on the Japanese artillery position. According to the Japanese artillery organization, this requires at least one brigade. An artillery brigade alone has more than 600 people, including an infantry squadron responsible for security tasks. With just such a small number of people in the temporary 79th Division, you actually dare to say that you can defeat your opponent within five minutes
"Yes, five minutes!" Xu Rui said with great determination, "We will win it within five minutes!"
Xu Rui had his own judgment. The Little Devils' headquarters was extremely empty. Xu Rui was keenly aware that the Little Devils' artillery positions must also be equally empty. The infantry squadron responsible for security tasks must have been transferred to the city, otherwise the Commander With such a huge movement in the army, how could the Japs in the artillery positions not send reinforcements
Without the protection of the infantry squadron, the Japs' artillery is just a bunch of sheep!
As long as the peripheral defenses are broken through and the commandos break into the artillery positions, this battle will be over! There are also a dozen field howitzers, which become the artillery of the temporary 79th Division.
Xu Rui turned around and walked away. Lin Feng was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses and shouted at Xu Rui's back: "Old Xu, what should I do?"
Xu Rui said without looking back: "Send people to blow up the bridge in front, block the Japanese tanks, and then take the temporary 1st company and the temporary 2nd company to hide the weapons and equipment."
"Yes!" Lin Feng agreed without hesitation.
