On the wasteland, the temporary independent battalion of the 79th Division has turned to the southeast and headed for Suzhou.
However, out of the more than two hundred remnant soldiers at the beginning, there were now less than fifty people left.
In addition, a sudden heavy rain melted the not-so-thick snow. After the snow melted, both the roads and the fields were muddy, making marching extremely difficult.
Fortunately, the little devils also have the same difficulties, and it's not just the independent camp.
Suddenly, Xu Rui raised his right hand again, and the remaining soldiers who hurriedly followed behind him stopped.
Xu Rui turned Leng Jun's gaze to the veteran and said in a deep voice: "Veteran, it's your turn now. Your task is the most difficult. After the Japs are lured away, you go back along the original road to ensure that no brother is left behind or If you get lost, you don’t need to wait for us when you arrive at Fushan Pier, immediately recruit boats and take the brothers across the river!”
The veteran asked without pretense or humility, "After crossing the river, where will I meet you?"
Xu Rui said: "After crossing the river, just take the brothers to Damei Mountain and I will find you."
Until now, Xu Rui still doesn’t know the name of the veteran, let alone his background and origins. However, Xu Rui has unreserved trust in the veteran. Although he has not been with the veteran for a long time, under his In his heart, he regards the veterans as comrades who share life and death, and Xu Rui believes that the same is true for the veterans.
"Understood." The veteran nodded, turned and left. After walking a few steps, he suddenly turned back, saluted Xu Rui with a standard military salute, and said, "Old Xu, don't worry, I will bring the troops to Damei Mountain."
After saying that, the veteran turned his attention to the forty-odd remnant soldiers behind him and said: "All of them are here, take off your shoes!"
Xu Rui's division of troops was based on platoons. The platoon that the veteran was about to take away was also the last platoon. After the platoon was taken away, only Yang Dashu and another remnant soldier were left around Xu Rui.
Soon, the veteran led the forty-odd remaining soldiers to wade barefoot into the creek on the side of the road, then waded forward. After walking about five hundred meters, they climbed into a bamboo forest by the river and finally disappeared.
Xu Rui Lengjun's eyes finally fell on the faces of Yang Dashu and another remnant soldier, and asked: "Are you afraid?"
Another veteran named Hei Qi remained silent. He and Yang Dashu knew very well what it meant to stay behind. It meant that they gave the chance of survival to others and gave death to themselves. It is true that ants are greedy for life. They are human beings, so how could they not be greedy for life, and how could they not be afraid
However, being afraid is one thing, but whether you dare to die is another.
The whole of China has been caused by the little devils. If no one stands up and no one dares to die, will there be any hope for this country? Will this nation still have a future? What's more, Xu Rui, as the commander of the independent battalion, took the initiative to stay behind, so what could the two leading soldiers have to complain about
If a person dies, his eggs will fall into the sky. If he doesn't die for tens of millions of years, he will fight to the death!
Yang Dashu said: "Don't be afraid. We killed at least eight Japanese in the first battle in Wuxi. We have already achieved our goal!"
"Eight, is that a little less?" Xu Rui grinned, then his expression became extremely serious, and then said, "Check the weapons and equipment and prepare to fight!"
Yang Dashu and Hei Qi began to check the weapons and equipment.
Xu Rui, Hei Qi and Yang Dashu have a total of three crooked machine guns. Each machine gun is equipped with 500 rounds of ammunition. In addition, each person has a German-made MP36 Schmeisser submachine gun with 6 magazines. In addition, each person also has Six melon grenades, Xu Rui also had a 38-meter cap, and more than 200 rounds of bullets. This was all the weapons and equipment of the three of them.
After confirming that all weapons were in good condition and without any malfunctions, Xu Rui led Hei Qi and Yang Dashu into the ambush point.
Due to the rush of time and the darkness, Xu Rui just randomly chose an ambush location. Fortunately, the terrain in this area was flat and the vegetation was dense, so an inverted triangle ambush formation could be set up almost anywhere.
Xu Rui, Hei Qi and Yang Dashu lay quietly on the ground, with only the rustle of raindrops hitting the leaves in their ears. Although the ground beneath them was cold, the eyes of Hei Qi and Yang Dashu were still burning. Ahead, About a squad of Japanese soldiers formed a fighting formation and were approaching cautiously.
These are the top soldiers of the Japanese army, and they are fighting the top soldiers of the Japanese army!
When Xu Rui, Hei Qi, and Yang Dashu opened their mouths, waiting to feast on the little devil, Xiao Luyuan Junsi also noticed that something was wrong.
In fact, as early as two hours later, just after midnight, Oluhara Junsi had already discovered that something was wrong.
However, at that time, Oluhara Junsi only had a vague feeling and was not sure what was wrong.
However, just now, the sudden heavy rain finally made Junsi Oluhara realize that something was wrong. He found clues from the footprints in the mud!
When marching in the snow, you can increase the number of footprints by walking quickly in small steps, so you can use a smaller number of people to create the illusion of a large army marching and confuse the audience. However, when marching in mud, it is difficult to confuse the audience by walking quickly in small steps. You just want to walk fast. But can you get up fast in the mud
Therefore, when a sudden heavy rain melted the thin layer of snow, Oluhara Junsi discovered that the footprints left in the mud were obviously not like those left by a troop of several hundred people. At most, they were Just a small force of dozens of people, which means that they have lost their target and the main force of the Chinese army has disappeared.
Okahara Junsi immediately told Major Akita about his discovery.
"Nani, the main force of the Nationalist Army is missing?" Major Akita's face was filled with disbelief.
How can it be? How can this be? They have been following the Chinese. Although they have never been able to catch up with the Chinese, let alone intercept the Chinese, the Chinese have never been able to break away from their surveillance. Now Junsi Xiaoluhara suddenly comes to follow them. He said that the main force of the Kuomintang army had actually escaped long ago. How could Akita believe it
The Chinese can't fly, let alone escape, so how could they disappear
Ogawara Junsi looked bitter and said: "Akita-san, although it is difficult for people to accept, the main force of the Chinese army is indeed missing. What attracts us in front is just a small force, with only fifty people at most. , you can tell it from the footprints left by the Chinese army in the mud."
When Toshio Okahara Shunsi reminded him, Akita also noticed that there were fewer footprints.
"Baga!" Major Akita said bitterly, "When did the Chinese divide their troops?"
"I'm afraid the Chinese divided their troops more than once." Xiaolu Yuanjunsi said with a wry smile, "If I guessed correctly, the Chinese should divide their troops one by one, Yu Lu. It is precisely because the Chinese played the role of dividing their troops one by one that we failed. The abnormality was discovered in time through the footprints left in the snow, and it wasn't until it started to rain that I realized something was wrong."
"Divide the troops one by one? Divide the troops on the road?" Major Akita said in stunned silence, "This is simply unheard of."
Akita has only heard of increasing troops one by one, but never of dividing troops one by one. Who the hell is this
"The commander of this Chinese army is indeed very cunning." Oluhara Junsi nodded and said, "However, this person is not the first to divide the troops one by one. It is just a reverse thinking of increasing the troops one by one."
"Baga Yalu, let the Chinese fool you again." Major Akita felt so hateful in his heart.
What made Akita gnash his teeth with hatred was that he had no way of explaining this matter to Matsui Iwane. Could it be that by reporting to Matsui Iwane, they would lose the main force of the Chinese army by following? Or lie to Matsui Iwane, what they captured last night was just a small Chinese force? How could Matsui Iwane spare him
Fortunately, the matter has not yet reached the point of irreversibility. The top priority is to find a way to remedy it!
At that moment, Major Akita asked Ogahara Junsi: "Ogahara-san, what should we do now? Divide our forces and pursue them?"
The remnants of the temporary 79th Division have been divided into troops. Apart from dividing the troops to pursue them, Akita can no longer think of any other way.
"Split the troops to pursue?" Oluhara Junsi shook his head and said, "The remnants of the temporary 79th Division have been divided into multiple groups, and have been divided for a while. If we go back to look for them, it will be difficult to find them."
Akita nodded in agreement. It was raining heavily in the middle of the night. The remnants of the temporary 79th Division found a village or an old forest to hide. They waited until the heavy rain washed away the traces left by their march, and the Japanese army returned. It is extremely difficult to find them! Although the front army mobilized three regiments to encircle and suppress the remnants of the temporary 79th Division, once they were spread over a radius of several hundred miles, their strength became thin again.
Akita asked again: "What should we do? Just let the main force of the temporary 79th Division run away?"
"Of course not." Ogahara Junsi smiled ferociously and asked, "Akita-san, tell me, why did the remnants of the temporary 79th Division divide their troops? What is their intention to divide their troops?"
Akita said without thinking: "Of course it is to get rid of our pursuit."
Oluhara Junsi asked again: "Then what happens after getting rid of it? What will they do?"
Akita said: "After getting rid of them, of course they will gather and then try to return to the building."
"Assembly is assembly, Akita-san, you have hit the point." Oluhara Junsi said with a grin, "The remnants of the temporary 79th Division will definitely gather again after getting rid of our pursuit, so we only need to bite With this small force in front, we can follow the clues and find their main force again!"
"Yo Xi." Akita's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and he felt like he was enlightened.
As he spoke, fierce gunfire suddenly rang out from the front, and Akita immediately said: "The vanguard group and the small troops left behind by the temporary 79th Division are taking fire."
Oluhara Junsi said: "Akita-san, quickly order the troops to deploy, move closer, and put pressure on the Chinese army. However, you must not surround them. You must leave a gap for them."
Akita immediately turned around and shouted: "Order!"
Several messengers stood at attention.
