Xu Ruiping held the 38-meter cover and walked leisurely among the ruins with his waist bent.
Xu Rui's pace seemed slow, but his execution progress was not slow. Lin Feng and about 20 remnants of the Nationalist Army tried their best to keep up.
Xu Rui turned to look at Lin Feng, who was following him, and asked, "Brother, what do you call me?"
"Lin Feng, Shuangmu Forest, the wind that flies like lightning." Lin Feng paused and asked Xu Rui, "Where are you, brother?"
"Xu Rui, double Xu, unstoppable Rui." Xu Rui smiled slightly and asked Lin Feng, "Which army are you from?"
Lin Feng stopped, straightened his wrinkled khaki uniform in a serious manner, and replied seriously: "The National Revolutionary Army has temporarily established the 79th Division."
"Temporarily forming the seventy-nine divisions?" Xu Rui's heart trembled when he heard this.
In modern Chinese history, the Temporary 79th Division is definitely a famous force, because the predecessor of the Temporary 79th Division is the 79th Route Army. This is one of the few troops in the Nationalist Army that can fight tough battles. One, during the 128 Shanghai Anti-Japanese War five years ago, the 79th Route Army defeated the Japanese commander Si Yi.
After the Fujian Incident, the 79th Route Army was withdrawn and downsized to the temporary 79th Division.
After the Songhu Battle broke out on August 13, the temporary 79th Division was also transferred to the Songhu battlefield, but its performance was not good because the division commander Yang Ruofei escaped before the battle. In just one day, a Japanese infantry brigade was defeated and lost. The railway dock in Wusong Town caused the war situation in Songhu to deteriorate sharply.
Afterwards, the Battle of Songhu was completely defeated. The temporary 79th Division was ordered to cut off the rear and fought bloody battles with the Japanese army. Especially in Wuxi, they staged an extremely brutal street battle with the Japanese army. This street battle was the only large-scale street battle in the eight years of the Anti-Japanese War. It was during this street battle that the 19th Independent Division fought with determination and no one surrendered.
Of course, the price was also extremely heavy. The entire division was completely destroyed and the final designation was cancelled.
It seems that this is Wuxi, and this battle will be the final swan song of the temporary 79th Division.
But now that I have traveled through time, I must take these twenty-odd remnants out no matter what, and leave some seeds for the temporary 79th Division.
For no other reason than because the 79th Route Army was an iron army that never surrendered in the two wars of resistance!
However, it is not easy to lead these twenty-odd remnants to break through the Japanese encirclement. The top priority is to solve the morale problem of these remnants first.
At that moment, Xu Rui said: "Your division's situation doesn't seem to be good, right?"
"Our situation is more than just bad?" Lin Feng said with a wry smile, "To be honest, our command system has been completely destroyed by the Japs. All the main regiments have lost contact, all the troops directly under the division headquarters have been killed and injured, and the secret service battalion has been completely destroyed. There are only about twenty people left. If you hadn't appeared just now, brother, we would have died for the party and the country."
Xu Rui said again: "So, what are your plans next?"
"What else can we plan?" Lin Feng sighed and said, "As a soldier, you should fight for the country and the nation to the last drop, the last bullet."
Xu Rui frowned and said, "Why don't you break out and keep yourself useful until the time comes?"
"Breakout?" Lin Feng said with a bitter smile, "I also want to break out, but how can I break out? The main force groups have been divided and surrounded. Our temporary 79th Division is now a basin of loose sand, and there are everywhere inside and outside the city. It’s the Japs, there is at least one regiment, do you think it is possible for us to defeat one of the Japs’ regiments and then break out?”
"Then try to contact each main force group, gather together to form a tower, and resume command."
"Gather the sand into a tower and resume command?" Lin Feng shook his head flatly and said, "Absolutely impossible."
"Absolutely impossible?" Xu Rui's expression immediately cooled down, and he stared at Lin Feng and said, "Never jump to conclusions about something you have not tried before! You have to trust your subordinates, and you have to believe that no matter what kind of situation you face, They will not give up easily in difficult situations, they will persevere to the end, and never forget that they are soldiers of the 79th Route Army!"
Listening to Xu Rui's powerful words, the twenty-odd remnant soldiers behind Lin Feng straightened their backs in unison, and the burning fighting spirit ignited from the depths of their eyes again, Seventy-ninth Route Army? It had been a long time since they heard this number, so long that they had almost forgotten it.
However, have they really forgotten
No, they didn't, they didn't forget!
They will never forget that they were soldiers of the 79th Route Army!
Xu Rui continued: "Your subordinates have not given up, and as the chief of staff, you should not abandon them!"
Lin Feng immediately became anxious, and shouted with a livid face: "Of course I will not abandon my subordinates, but..."
"There is no but. There is no word but in the dictionary of soldiers. There are only life and death, victory and defeat on the battlefield. There will never be any but!" Xu Rui interrupted Lin Feng extremely arrogantly and said, "Since you If you don’t intend to abandon your men, then cheer up and lead them to drive the little devils into Taihu Lake to feed the fish!”
After saying that, Xu Rui took the rifle and turned into a small alley without looking back.
Xu Rui's words seemed to have a magical power, causing the twenty-odd remnant soldiers behind Lin Feng to move forward in unison. It was not until they were far away that the dozen or so remnant soldiers reacted one after another, stopped quickly, and turned back to Lin Feng. Feng looked over, but from their eyes, Lin Feng saw the burning fighting spirit.
In an instant, Lin Feng's chest suddenly surged with blood.
Xu Rui was right. Since his soldiers were still resisting and never gave up, then, as a commander, what reason did he have to abandon them
No, I, Lin Feng, will never abandon my subordinates!
Lin Feng took a deep breath and quickly followed Xu Rui with more than 20 remaining soldiers.
Seeing Lin Feng following with more than 20 remnant soldiers, Xu Rui's lips curved into a faint smile.
Xu Rui slowed down slightly, and after Lin Feng caught up, he said, "Chief of Staff Lin, do you believe me?"
"So what if you believe it, so what if you don't believe it?" Lin Feng asked back.
"If you believe me, just hand over the command to me, and I will promise to take your temporary 79th Division out." Xu Rui paused here, gave Lin Feng a moment to digest, and then continued, "If you don't believe me, just pretend I didn't say anything, but don't worry, I will still do my best to help you break out."
Lin Feng instinctively wanted to refuse and hand over the command of the temporary 79th Division to an unknown person? What a joke!
However, when the words came to his lips, Lin Feng swallowed them back. He suddenly recalled the scene just now. Xu Rui killed the Japanese like a chicken and commanded a large army. It is hard to say whether Xu Rui has this ability, but if he is commanding Such a soldier king should be able to handle a small unit, at least much better than his chief of staff who has never led troops independently.
At that moment, Lin Feng said: "I can hand over the command to you, but you must first prove that you have this ability."
"Okay, I'll prove it to you right now." A faint smile appeared on Xu Rui's lips again, because he had already heard a faint sound of footsteps.
It must be the kid's mopping up team, let's use them to sacrifice the flag.
Xu Rui suddenly squatted on the spot, raised his right hand and clenched it into a fist.
Lin Feng attended the Army University and briefly learned sign language. When he saw this, he crouched down quickly. However, most of the twenty or so remnant soldiers following behind him did not understand sign language and still ran forward panting. As a result, this messy The sound of footsteps immediately alerted a Japanese mopping up team not far away.
In an instant, the screams of the Japanese were heard.
At this point, there was no need to sign any more. Xu Rui turned around and shouted: "Spread out and prepare to fight!"
After hearing this, the more than twenty remnant soldiers immediately dispersed and quickly grabbed a favorable position. It can be seen that the military quality of these more than twenty remnant soldiers is quite good, which also explains why they can survive to this day. , others died in the battle, but they survived, there are some reasons in it after all.
However, in the eyes of Xu Rui, a super soldier who has received the most modern and high-standard military skills training, the technical and tactical actions of these remnant soldiers seemed a bit amateurish. For example, one remnant soldier poked the barrel of his gun while lying down. Entering the ruins, if this were Xu Rui's soldiers, they would have kicked him in the butt.
If there is sand in the barrel of this gun, it will jam.
If a bullet jams on the battlefield, it can be fatal!
There is also a soldier who did not do the essentials of lying down correctly. He actually lies down with his legs spread wide. In this way, when transferring, he must bend his legs first and then be able to move. Don't underestimate such an insignificant detail. Perhaps because of this moment of delay, the enemy's shells have already fallen and killed you.
On the battlefield, life and death are often decided in a split second.
Of the more than twenty remnant soldiers, only one remnant soldier's tactical actions left an impression on Xu Rui.
The remnant soldier's climbing movements were as standard as a textbook, and he was as agile as an ape. He climbed up a half-collapsed small foreign-style building on the street in two moves, and then quickly lay down on the balcony on the second floor. It was a It is a sniper position that can effectively avoid artillery shells and has a very good field of vision. Xu Rui knew at a glance that this soldier had received professional sniper training.
It was interesting. A faint smile immediately appeared at the corner of Xu Rui's mouth. He unexpectedly met a veteran of the Kuomintang Army who had received special sniper training. In this era, such a veteran was probably the only one among the millions of Kuomintang soldiers. It's so rare, right? But today, let you first see what real sniping is.
In less than a moment, the Japanese commander's command came from the opposite street.
"Yamaguchi-san, Hasegawa-san, you two take a detour from the left."
"Ono-san, Utada-san, you two are outflanking us from the right."
"Qingshui-san, seize the high point on the right and use machine gun cover."
"For the rest, follow me and attack from the front."
Xu Rui slightly peeked his head out from behind the broken wall where he was hiding, and saw a dozen little Japs rushing in from the street across the street. These Jaap soldiers were extremely skillful in their tactical movements, bending down and snaking, never showing up easily, and their division of labor was clear. Outflanking, there are those responsible for frontal attack, and the machine gun team is responsible for fire suppression.
