"This way!" Seeing the veteran coming, Xu Rui quickly stood up and waved.
The veteran immediately ran towards the direction where Xu Rui was hiding. The next moment, a large group of Japanese soldiers rushed out from behind the street corner, chasing after them while shouting and shooting continuously. The little Japanese soldiers were really good at shooting. Even when running at high speed, he can hit extremely accurately.
Fortunately, the veteran is not good at it. He rushes left, right, and forward. From time to time, he will suddenly stop suddenly. Various tactical evasive moves are endless. Coupled with the obstruction of broken walls, the little devil's bullets are always so bad. Little by little, he failed to hit the target. While chasing and escaping, the veteran led the Japanese into an ambush position.
Xu Rui looked through the gaps in the ruins and roughly counted, there were more than fifty Japanese, a whole team!
When the veteran jumped over a section of the wall and disappeared from the sight of the Japs, Xu Rui stood up with a 38-inch cap and killed one of the Japs machine gunners behind the queue with one shot.
While firing, Xu Rui ordered loudly: "Hit!"
Xu Rui gave an order, and more than 20 remaining soldiers opened fire almost simultaneously.
The next moment, Lin Feng at the ambush point on the left and Yang Dashu at the ambush point on the right also opened fire fiercely.
Two crooked guns and more than twenty big guns opened fire at the same time. In an instant, dense bullets rained down on the Japanese in the ambush circle. The three shooting points sprayed firepower wildly in a fan shape, forming a With no blind spots in the firepower network, the little devil was completely stunned. He didn't know which direction to counterattack, let alone where to hide.
In the blink of an eye, most of the fifty or so Japanese soldiers trapped in the ambush fell in a pool of blood.
Sheep and lions have always been opposites. When sheep learn tactics, they can easily tear lions apart, and when lions accidentally fall into traps, they will be easily torn apart by sheep.
Although the Japanese are cruel, once they fall into a trap, they are still lambs to be slaughtered.
After firing five rounds, Xu Rui had no time to reload, so he rushed out with his rifle.
More than twenty remnant soldiers who were ambushing in the ruins on both sides also jumped up with bayonets in hand, and started a hand-to-hand combat with the last dozen or so Jap soldiers who were still in shock.
These more than 20 remnants are all veterans who have fought bloody battles for the rest of their lives. The fact that they can survive to this day is enough to explain everything. Whether it is physical fitness or individual combat effectiveness, they are the best among soldiers, and they are no less effective against well-trained Japanese. , Xu Rui and the veteran are like tigers rushing into the flock of sheep, with no general under their control.
More than half of the last dozen or so Japs died at the hands of Xu Rui and the veteran, and the rest were stabbed to death by more than twenty remnant soldiers. In less than two minutes, an entire infantry squad, more than fifty Japs, They were all killed. When Yang Dashu and Lin Feng rushed over, there was not a single Japanese left alive.
In less than two minutes, more than fifty Japs were gone, all gone!
"I'm old mother Diulei." Yang Dashu stared at the Japanese soldiers lying all over the ground with his eyes wide open, his face full of disbelief, "When did the little Japanese become so incompetent? A whole squad. , a kid in his fifties, who could have fought with our battalion for half a day before, but if I throw him away, will he be killed now?"
Yang Dashu was surprised, and Lin Feng was even more surprised. He had already seen Xu Rui's fighting and marksmanship skills. He originally thought that Xu Rui was a powerful soldier with a single combat capability, but he did not expect that Xu Rui actually had such superb commanding skills. Just such a seemingly ordinary ambush actually killed an entire Japanese infantry squad!
Since the Battle of Songhu, the Kuomintang Army has rarely established a record of destroying the Japanese army, even if it is a small team.
Lin Feng didn't know if other divisions had any record of annihilating Japanese troops when they were fully organized. However, the 79th Division, which was temporarily formed, had never been fully organized to eliminate Japanese troops above the size of a squad before. Not even a fully-organized main division had done so. Today, Xu Rui did it with just a few dozen remnants. Is this true
Lin Feng walked up to Xu Rui and said sincerely: "Brother Xu, you are awesome."
"What's this?" Xu Rui smiled coldly and said, "This is just a small test."
"A small test?" Lin Feng was stunned when he heard this and said, "Brother Xu, what do you mean..."
Xu Rui nodded and said in a deep voice: "Yes, this is just the beginning. There will be bigger surprises waiting for the devils later. I want the little devils to know that the Chinese are by no means easy to mess with."
Lin Feng was stern when he heard this, and when he turned around, he saw that the twenty-odd remnant soldiers were already in a carnival, looting trophies from the Japanese and chatting nonsense.
"Old Qi, how many have you killed?"
"Nine? Just brag, I've killed eighteen."
"I'll throw it away. You guys can come over and see what kind of cigarette this is."
"Good guy, isn't this a sergeant's sword? I've made a fortune."
"Zuo Guan Dao? In your Qingqiu dream, this is the Wei Guan Dao."
"The Lieutenant's Sword is not bad. Hey, Big Cat, take off your woolen coat."
"What are you doing? This is my trophy, why should I give it to you? I won't give it to you."
Amidst the commotion, Xu Rui came to the veteran and said, "How is it?"
"It's really amazing." The veteran let out a long sigh of relief and said, "The three shooting points are each responsible for a 120-degree shooting angle, which just forms a crossfire without blind spots. As long as the firepower is strong enough, three people can easily kill a squad. Even a platoon, but such tactics are only suitable for street fighting or jungle fighting."
Xu Rui took out a cigarette and looked at the veteran thoughtfully.
Even Lin Feng, a senior general who had received a short-term training at the Army University, did not see the essence of the inverted triangle ambush formation, but the veteran in front of him saw through it at a glance. This man definitely came from an extraordinary background.
Xu Rui lit the cigarette and took a deep breath. While feeling the comfort brought by the thick smoke rolling in his lungs, he asked the veteran: "Tell me, what is your name?"
"Old soldier." The old soldier added the next sentence, turned around and left.
"Veteran?" Xu Rui smiled slightly, but his eyes narrowed.
The veteran seemed to notice, stopped, looked back at Xu Rui and added: "Chinese veteran."
Xu Rui threw the cigarette he had just taken two puffs on the ground and stamped it out, then raised his head and said to the veteran: "Chinese veteran, the ambush formation just now is called the inverted triangle ambush formation."
The veteran nodded and walked away with a cold face.
Xu Rui turned around and yelled at the twenty or so remnant soldiers who were searching for loot: "The little devil's reinforcements will be here soon. Take the time to collect ammunition and prepare to move!"
The twenty-odd remnant soldiers quickly began to collect weapons and ammunition.
This time, even Yang Dashu no longer questioned Xu Rui's order.
The more adverse the situation, the more the value of an excellent commander is revealed. Although Lin Feng and Yi Qian, the remnant soldiers of the 79th Division who were temporarily assigned to the 79th Division, spent only a short time with Xu Rui, even less than two hours, Xu Rui's excellent military skills However, these veterans have been completely conquered by their quality, proficiency and superb command skills.
In comparison, Lin Feng, the chief of staff, is like a cadet soldier!
In normal times, veterans like Yang Dahu would of course obey Lin Feng, the chief of staff, but in this adversity where they could die at any time, they are more willing to follow an excellent commander like Xu Rui! Because by following Xu Rui, they have a better chance of winning the battle and a better chance of saving their lives!
(Dividing line)
Tachibana Koji took out a white towel and wiped the saber carefully, especially the chrysanthemums and stars symbolizing the royal family on the handle. Tachibana Koji wiped it spotless.
It has to be said that the Japanese in this era have an almost fanatical admiration for the Japanese royal family. It is driven by this morbid fanaticism that the small country of Japan bursts out with huge energy, almost overwhelming China. The weak giant fell to the ground.
At this moment, Tachibana Koji was undoubtedly in a very good mood.
Although the mopping up force reported that a highly effective remnant of the Kuomintang Army had appeared in the center of Wuxi, and that three mopping up teams had lost contact, Tachibana Koji did not believe that a small group of remnants of the Kuomintang Army could Reversing the situation, the overall situation of the Battle of Wuxi has been decided, and the Chinese are powerless to save the day.
If nothing else happens, the battle will definitely be over before noon.
Thinking of this, Tachibana Koji's mood became better than ever.
In the first battle in Wuxi, the Tachibana Regiment defeated the three divisions of the Chinese Army with one unit and won a complete victory. This will undoubtedly leave a mark on Tachibana Koji's resume.
Of course, this is not the point. The point is that he has just received an order from the division headquarters. His immediate boss's immediate boss, the newly arrived commander of the Shanghai Condemnation Army, His Royal Highness Prince Fushiminomiya, will visit Wuxi in person.
If his performance is approved by the prince, he will surely prosper from now on.
However, after a moment, Tachibana Koji's good mood quickly disappeared.
The door curtain of the military tent was opened with force, and Jiro Kobayashi walked in angrily and reported: "Captain, Akita Brigade reported that one of their support teams suddenly lost contact!"
"What did you say?" Tachibana Koji suddenly raised his head and said, "A small team?"
Tachibana Koji didn't care that the various mopping up teams lost contact, because many mopping up teams had been reduced to less than ten people after many battles, and some even had only three or four people. If such a mopping up team encountered a larger number of people, It is not surprising that the remnants of the Nationalist Army were completely destroyed.
But if an entire infantry squad loses contact, the problem becomes serious.
According to the combat effectiveness of the Chinese and Japanese armies, in order to defeat an infantry squad of the Japanese army, the Chinese ** Corps would need at least one battalion. Considering that the Chinese ** Corps had just been defeated on the Songhu battlefield, it was thrown into the defense of Wuxi before it could rest. In this battle, the Chinese ** team only has two battalions, and it may not be able to easily defeat a fully organized Japanese team.
Doesn't this mean that there are still squadrons with battalion or above levels in Wuxi
Doesn't this mean that the resistance of the Chinese Army is far from over, and the battle of Wuxi is far from the time to celebrate
If His Highness the Prince suddenly comes to Wuxi at this time, not to mention leaving a good impression on him, I am afraid that it will give him an impression of incompetence and there will be no hope of promotion. At least until His Highness the Prince is transferred, Tachibana Koji should not think about it again. After being promoted to a general officer, he might even be transferred back to the Army Department as a staff officer.
No, this situation is absolutely not allowed to occur!
