In the Northeast in the 1940s, apart from the industrial zones in Liaoning, the industry in Xinjing was the most developed, and some precision instruments could even be manufactured here.
At this time in Xinjing, the news that Xu Rui was going to call spread like wildfire, and the whole city was panicked. For the people, they felt very conflicted. They hoped that a hero like Xu Rui could restore Xinjing, but They were also afraid of disturbing their peaceful life. In short, their expectations were greater than their panic. Those who were really panicked were the traitors, big and small. These traitors knew that they had defected to the Japanese and the anti-Japanese armed forces would not spare them, so they became a mess. The rich big traitor fled Xinjing in a car, pulling large and small packages, while the poor little traitor just threw his house away and ran away.
Although Dasong Hirozheng issued several notices to calm the people and controlled the roads out of the city, it had no effect at all. Xinjing was too big and there were too many roads into Xinjing. It was impossible to stop these people from escaping. The entire Xinjing fell into chaos.
Xu Rui's troops had just arrived at the foot of Xinjing City. From a distance, they saw that the roads leading to the outside world from Xinjing City were full of people. Xu Rui couldn't help but frown. With so many people blocking the traffic, his cavalry could not pass at all. , and at this moment, news came that Aso Taro's 37th Division had changed to a car and headed towards Xinjing's starry night, and its forward had arrived at Dehui. In other words, if nothing unexpected happened, Taro Aso The troops will arrive at the foot of Xinjing City in five hours.
The situation at this time was extremely dangerous. Hiromasa Ohmatsu led 20,000 puppet troops in front of him and had launched a fighting stance in Xinjing. Taro Aso also led an army of tens of thousands in pursuit. If they attacked Xinjing forcefully, If you cannot capture Xinjing within two or three hours, you will be in a dangerous situation of being attacked from both sides. And for a big city like Xinjing, let alone two or three hours, it is difficult to guarantee that it will be captured even in two or three days. .
At this point, even one careless move could lead to complete collapse. What should I do? Everyone looked at Xu Rui.
Xu Rui said: "I need a force to go to the north of Xinjing to block the Japanese reinforcements to buy more time. Which of you will go?"
After listening to Xu Rui's words, everyone was silent. Xu Rui's five independent battalions each had about a thousand people. However, the Japanese reinforcements numbered nearly 20,000. Even if they occupied the favorable location, But they will also bear the huge pressure of the Japanese attack. The troops who go to block the task will definitely have a narrow escape.
Everyone was silent. Xu Rui looked around the faces of the battalion commanders. Just when he was about to speak, he heard Zhang Laowei'er say: "I'll go."
Among the several battalion commanders, Zhang Laowei'er was the least eloquent and usually the most inconspicuous, but in this choice between life and death, he chose the latter.
Xu Rui glanced at Zhang Laowei'er, waved his hand to signal everyone to leave, and then stood alone with Zhang Laowei'er outside Xinjing City.
"Do you know the consequences of blocking the Japanese reinforcements?" Xu Rui asked.
"I know." Zhang Laowei'er said.
"Aren't you afraid of death?"
"Afraid of death." Zhang Laowei'er answered truthfully.
"Then why do you take the initiative to stop the Japanese?" Xu Rui asked.
Zhang Laowei'er sighed, took out a long pipe from his waist, filled it with tobacco leaves, put it to his mouth, lit the pipe, took two puffs, and then whispered: "There is always someone going Yes."
The corner of Xu Rui's mouth curled up, and he realized that at this moment, he truly understood Zhang Laowei'er. This person who usually seemed silent was a real hero.
"Come back alive." Xu Rui said.
Zhang Laowei'er grinned and said, "Captain, am I... considered your soldier now?"
Xu Rui's eyes were a little moist. Zhang Laowei'er was a sensible person. He knew that from beginning to end, he had never regarded these reckless people as his direct troops. After hearing Zhang Laowei'er's question, Xu Rui My heart was very sad.
"Old Wei'er, from the day you joined my army, you became my soldier." Xu Rui said.
"Then can you call me comrade? Just like your former subordinates." Zhang Laowei'er said.
"Comrade Zhang Laowei'er, you will always be a soldier of the New Anti-Union Regiment!"
"Why!"
Zhang Laowei'er clicked his lips, a smile appeared on his face.
In fact, although Zhang Laowei'er came from a rough background, he had a patriotic heart. Especially after learning about the deeds of the New Anti-Union Regiment, he had been thinking about becoming a member of the New Anti-Union Regiment and becoming such a Xu Rui is such an upright hero, and now, he has finally achieved his wish.
"Captain, I'm leaving!" Zhang Laowei'er knocked the pipe pot on the sole of his thousand-layer cloth shoe, pinned the pipe to his waist, and then saluted Xu Rui with a nondescript military salute.
"Old Wei'er, I order you to come back alive!"
"Hey!" Zhang Laowen responded subconsciously, then smiled sheepishly and said: "Yes!"
Zhang Laowei'er happily led his troops to ride on their war horses.
"Old Wei'er, what do you want to tell your brothers?" Niu Laohei and Zhang Lao Wei'er had always had a good relationship, and he felt bad, so he asked Zhang Lao Wei'er.
"Lao Niu, please sing a piece of "Little New Year's Greetings" for me." Zhang Laowei'er said.
Niu Laohei felt sour. He suppressed it and howled at the top of his voice: "It's the New Year in the first month of the year. It's the first day of the new year..."
"Haha... brothers, let's go!" Zhang Laowei'er laughed wildly.
Zhang Laowei'er roared, slapped his horse in the eyes of everyone, and drove away...
Looking at Zhang Lao Wei'er's retreating back, Xu Rui said loudly: "Everyone, don't let Lao Wei'er down, everyone is ready to fight!
"Woo..."
On a hill in the north of Xinjing City, a horn sounded, and then a red war horse appeared on the hill. The knight on the horse pulled out a sharp saber from his waist, and the saber flashed in the sunlight. There was a cold glow.
"kill!"
Xu Rui roared, and then slapped the war horse. The horse stood up and let out a shocking long hiss. The next moment, it rushed down the hill. Almost at the same time, thousands of war horses followed Xu Rui. , and kill towards the new capital!
Buzzing…
The ground continued to tremble, like an earthquake, and the entire New Kyoto trembled with the sound of horse hooves.
On the official road, the people who were escaping were scared and scattered in all directions. Many people even fled towards the city. The horses behind them kept approaching. Thousands of sharp sabers were held high above their heads, shining in the sun.
"God, there are so many cavalry! Run away!"
At the north gate of Xinjing, countless people ran towards the door, blocking the entire door. The Japanese and puppet troops in the city now also saw the approaching cavalry in the distance, and all of them had red eyes and wanted to close the door. It couldn't be closed for a while.
"Get out of the way, or you'll die!" a Japanese officer shouted while holding a command knife.
"Taijun, let us enter the city!" Many people begged.
"Shoot! Shoot!" a Japanese major shouted, and the next moment, more than a dozen machine guns roared at the same time, hitting the city gate with corpses everywhere. The remaining people who fled fled in a hurry, and the entire city gate was full of corpses and blood.
Xu Rui's troops had arrived 700 meters outside the city gate. This distance was basically beyond the range of the Japanese. Xu Rui waved his hand and everyone stopped.
"Captain, why did you stop? Let's rush in at once!" Niu Laohei said.
Xu Rui said: "On the city wall in front, the Japanese have at least thirty machine guns. If we charge up like this, we will die!"
"Then let's..." Everyone looked at Xu Rui.
A cold light flashed in Xu Rui's eyes, but he waved his hand. The next moment, the troops were divided into two columns, and thousands of war horses rushed out from the ranks. The eyes of these war horses were blindfolded, and the backs of their tails were dipped in grease and firecrackers. By this time, the grease had been ignited, and the war horses made tragic long neighs and galloped forward.
"Fire Horse Formation!" Liu Xiaozhuan shouted in surprise, thinking that it would be a good move for the regiment leader to use the remaining horses as a weapon to conquer the city, but he didn't know if this Fire Horse Formation could break through the Japanese firepower net.
Seeing that thousands of fire horses had rushed out, Xu Rui raised the saber in his hand high and shouted: "Kill!"
"kill!"
Five thousand soldiers simultaneously let out shocking shouts, rolled up smoke and dust into the sky, and raised their sabers high to kill the new capital...
At Xinjing Railway Station, a train with more than a dozen carriages continued to spit smoke upwards, and finally came to an abrupt stop. Several Japanese soldiers went to drive the carriages and prepare to unload the goods. This freight train was pulling munitions to support the front line.
"Crash..." The door of the train was opened, and a group of soldiers with live ammunition rushed out of the train and fired at the Japs below with submachine guns. The Japs who were standing in front of the platform preparing to receive the goods were caught off guard and were shot one after another. The gun fell to the ground.
This scene happened so suddenly that no one could react. They saw countless Chinese soldiers jumping out of the car and charging forward. Only then did the Japanese react, but they could no longer stop the Chinese soldiers from advancing. .
"Ergazi, detonate!" Leng Tiefeng shouted.
"yes!"
As soon as Ergazi pressed the detonator, the next moment, the entire train made a huge roar and flames shot into the sky. The grease pulled from the train fell all over the station, igniting a raging fire and engulfing the entire station.
Seeing that the entire train station was nearly blown up, Leng Tiefeng waved his hand and led more than a hundred Langya and more than 500 soldiers from the Solitary Battalion to continuously attack and advance straight towards the Japanese defense headquarters in the city.
It turned out that Leng Tiefeng took Langya from Demoli and drove all the way. They happened to pass by an airport with more than 20 transport planes parked inside. Leng Tiefeng immediately seized the airport and the transport plane, and then directly We flew over Harbin and landed in an empty plain south of Xinjing.
As it happened, Langya and the First Battalion occupied a train station shortly after landing, and happened to encounter an arms train heading for Xinjing. Langya and the Independent First Battalion seized the train and fought all the way to Xinjing, almost Entered Xinjing Railway Station without encountering any obstacles...
