Xu Rui sheathed his sword, turned back and smiled coldly at the more than two hundred remaining soldiers, and said loudly: "They say that a little Japs can only fight with a bayonet twice. If three Japs stand in a T-shape, even a **** can't do anything to them. I think it’s because they haven’t encountered our temporary 79th Division Independent Battalion before, brothers, don’t you think so?”
"Yes!" More than two hundred remnant soldiers responded immediately, and the atmosphere was enthusiastic.
Although this one-on-one duel was short, it was extremely exciting. After witnessing this wonderful assassination performance, especially the one-sided result, the two hundred or so remnant soldiers had an unprecedented increase in confidence in hand-to-hand combat. , from now on, none of them will be afraid of the little devil.
Xu Rui smiled and said again: "Brothers, take off all the clothes of the little devils, then move their bodies to the road, and display the words seventy-nine. We just want to tell the little devils clearly, This ambush battle was fought by our temporary 79th Division. If they are capable, even if they come to us for revenge, we will take them."
"Yes!" More than two hundred remaining soldiers agreed in a loud voice, and then began to strip off the Japanese's clothes.
These remnant soldiers didn't think much about it at all. They just felt that doing so was very encouraging. It was really inspiring.
Only the old soldier vaguely guessed Xu Rui's intention. Xu Rui clearly wanted to completely anger the little devil's commander through such behavior. As long as the little devil's commander is angry, he will definitely act out of his own will. Wrong judgment, and then the little devil will have flaws.
In this way, they can break out calmly.
I have to say that Xu Rui is really thoughtful!
Seeing the veteran's expression was different, Xu Rui smiled and asked, "Did you notice it again?"
The veteran nodded and said, "If I guess correctly, you are deliberately irritating your opponent."
"You guessed it, I was deliberately provoking my opponent." Xu Rui said cheerfully, "We first killed the little devil's prince in Baoxing Town, then turned around and ambushed him at almost the same place to collect the body of Fushimi Miya Toshihiko. Tachibana Koji, now that little devil has lost all face, it would be strange if he doesn’t hate us to the core.”
The veteran nodded and said, "If I were a Japanese, I would hate you to the core of my being."
Xu Rui added: "So it is completely foreseeable that the Japs will definitely mobilize heavy troops to encircle and suppress us. If we cannot get rid of the Japs' eyes from the beginning, then the Japs swooping in from all directions will become a trap for us. The noose around our necks tightens and tightens until it hangs us."
The veteran nodded and said, "So you deliberately angered the little devil?"
"That's right." Xu Rui nodded, "Only by completely irritating the commander of the Japs will he lose his mind and make wrong judgments. Only in this way will the Japs make mistakes while busy, giving us the opportunity to take advantage of them. Otherwise, if the little devil's mopping up troops are pushed forward step by step, we will have no chance at all."
The veteran said: "You are so insidious."
Xu Rui said: "This is called wit!"
(Dividing line)
Shanghai, the headquarters of the Japanese Central China Front.
Matsui Iwane walked into the living room with a smile, and the young officer who was sitting upright on the huanghuali wood immediately stood up. This young officer was only in his early twenties at most, but he was already carrying the rank of major on his shoulders. It is hard to imagine that the phenomenon of seniority in the Japanese military is extremely serious.
The young officer gave Matsui Iwane a heavy pause and said respectfully: "Teacher."
"Ah, Junsi." Matsui Iwane came over and asked with a smile, "Why is Jean here?"
The young officer said: "My study in Germany has ended, and I was about to return to the military headquarters to report on my duties. I happened to be passing through Shanghai, so I stopped by to see the teacher."
"Really?" Matsui Iwane said, "Let the teacher take a look first."
The young officer straightened his chest. This little devil was not short in height, over 1.80 meters tall. He was also very handsome and good-looking. He should be able to charm many Japanese girls.
"Ah, we haven't seen you for three years. Junsi is taller and stronger." Matsui Iwane patted the young Junjun on the shoulder, motioned for him to sit down, and then said, "How about it, at the Brandenburg Special Forces Training Palace , these three years must have been very hard, but the harvest must not be small, right?"
"Hai." The young officer stood up again, paused, and said respectfully, "Teacher, after three years of studying at the Brandenburg Special Forces Training Camp, I truly realized the gap between our Imperial Japanese Army and the German Army. , the German Army is known as the world's first-class Army, it is not false, they do have many strengths worth learning from."
"For example?" Matsui Iwane walked to the coffee table and poured a cup of tea for the young officer himself.
The young officer took the tea, took a sip, and continued: "For example, in special operations, the German army is completely at the forefront of the world today, and even in front of our Imperial Japanese Army. The Germans creatively used special operations The operations have risen to a strategic level, and the special forces formed are also at a strategic level."
"Strategic level?" Matsui Iwane said disapprovingly, "Is it possible for a small force with no more than a few dozen people to influence the course of the war from a strategic level?"
"Teacher, this is entirely possible." The young officer said, "For example, in the current Sino-Japanese War, if our intelligence agencies can accurately capture Chiang's whereabouts and then airlift an elite special forces force into Nanjing, Then, perhaps all it takes is 1.38-caliber pistol bullets to end this war."
"What you said makes sense." Matsui Iwane nodded, and when he was about to say more, the Chief of Staff of the Central China Front, Tsukada Tsugumi, appeared outside the door with a gloomy face.
At that moment, Matsui Iwane stood up and said: "Junsi, please sit here for a while. Teacher has military affairs to deal with, so I'm afraid I have to excuse myself for a moment."
"Teacher, please excuse me." The young officer stood up and held his hands.
At that moment, Matsui Iwane walked out of the living room and followed Tsukada back to the office.
"Tsukada-san, what happened again?" Matsui Iwane knew just by looking at Tsukada Gong's expression that something happened again, and it was definitely not a good thing.
Sure enough, Tsukada said in a dark voice: "Your Excellency, General, we just received an urgent call from the 6th Infantry Regiment from Wuxi. The troops they sent to Baoxing Town to deal with the aftermath were ambushed halfway. The 6th Infantry Regiment led by them personally Wing Commander Tachibana Koji, and the entire reinforced squadron accompanying him... are collectively shattered!"
"Nani? The aftermath troops sent by the 3rd Regiment were ambushed halfway again?" Matsui Iwane suddenly looked up, his face full of disbelief, and then said angrily, "Which troop did this? In Wuxi Is there any other Chinese *** team operating nearby? Find it for me, find it!"
Tsukada Gong said with a bitter expression: "General, I'm afraid there's no need to look for him."
"No need to look for it?" Matsui Iwane said solemnly, "What do you mean? The remnants of the temporary 79th Division did it again?"
"Hai." Tsukada paused and said with great bitterness, "Although it is hard to believe, this is indeed done by the remnants of the temporary 79th Division, and it has also been confirmed by the loss of the aviation group. .”
"Confirmation from the Aviation Corps?" Matsui Iwane asked, "How does the Aviation Corps confirm it?"
"They used the corpses of fallen Imperial warriors to put the characters seventy-nine on the road," Tsukada said.
"Baga, this is a provocation. This is a provocation to the Japanese Empire and the Japanese Imperial Army!" Matsui Iwane was so angry that he flew into a rage. He pulled out his saber with his backhand and wiped out all the ornaments on the desk. He fell to the ground, then waved his saber and roared at the sky at the top of his lungs, "Find them, kill them, kill them all!"
Tsukada said: "General, please calm down. They should still be near Baoxing Town. They can't run far. Now the 6th Infantry Regiment, the 101st Infantry Regiment and the 20th Infantry Regiment have attacked Baoxing from three directions. Xingzhen is encircled, and if we wait another two or three days, the remnants of the temporary 79th Division will definitely be wiped out."
"Two or three days?" Matsui Iwane suddenly turned around, glared at Tsukada and yelled, "I don't want to wait for a day anymore, I don't even want to wait for an hour, I telegraphed the 3rd, 16th and 101st Infantry. The regiment, speed up the advance towards Baoxing Town and destroy the remnants of the temporary 79th Division before dark."
Tsukada said anxiously: "General, this is a cunning opponent. In one day, he may..."
"Possible? There is no possibility! It's just one day. I only give them one day. If they can't find and destroy the remnants of the temporary 79th Division within one day, then they will commit suicide to thank the Emperor!" Matsui Iwane was almost furious. He was about to lose his mind, but he couldn't be blamed for this. How many people could remain calm in the face of repeated humiliations
What's more, the repeated attacks by the 79th Division have seriously damaged Matsui Iwane's reputation and threatened his military career. If the remnants of the temporary 79th Division cannot be wiped out as soon as possible, even if the military headquarters does not hold him accountable , Chief of General Staff Prince Hanyuan Gong Zairen will not spare him, and he will have no choice but to retire sadly.
And such a result is something that Matsui Iwane cannot accept no matter what.
Matsui Iwane, this little soldier who was born in a declining samurai family in Nagoya, has huge ambitions that are far out of proportion to his stature. He dreams all the time of becoming a marshal of the Army. After years of struggle, he now has the rank of general. , and he is also the most senior general of the Army, only one step away from the rank of marshal.
Once he was forced to retire from active service, Matsui Iwane's dream of becoming a marshal was no longer possible.
"One day, I only give them one day." Matsui Iwane waved his thin arms, but a roar that was extremely disproportionate to his size came out of his throat, "Before dark today, the remnants of the temporary 79th Division must be eliminated!"
"Hai!" Tsukada paused and walked away with a gloomy face.
