Shigedo Chiaki said: "This is an extremely difficult opponent. []"

Kikuchi said: "Because this is a difficult opponent, it is even more important to trap him in Nantong City to prevent them from breaking out again."

Shigeto Chiaki said: "Then you have never thought about how long it would take and how much it would cost to annihilate the remnants of the temporary 79th Division if we really trapped them in the city of Nantong."

Kikuchi was silent, but there was a lot of slander in her heart: The war is fierce and dangerous, since this is a war, how can we not pay the price? As long as we can wipe out the remnants of the temporary 79th Division, as long as we can save the face of the empire and the royal family, even if there are many It's worth paying a price, even if you lose more soldiers.

However, Shigeto Chiaki had other ideas.

Shigedo Chiaki said: "Kikuchi-san, you have always heard about the Battle of Baoshan County, right?"

"Hai." Kikuchi Mei paused and said, "In the Battle of Baoshan, a battalion of the China Military Region faced two regiments of the Imperial Army supported by aviation and large-caliber naval guns, but it held on for seven days. After seven days, the Imperial Army Although the army captured Baoshan County, they still paid a heavy price with more than a thousand casualties."

Shigefuji Chiaki said: "In the battle of Baoshan County, the imperial army was supported by naval aviation and large-caliber naval gun groups. It fought for a whole week and suffered more than a thousand casualties. The combat effectiveness of the remaining members of the temporary 79th Division was compared to The Chinese troops guarding Baoshan were even worse. Kikuchi-san thought that if we had to fight for several days, how many casualties would there be?"

"This" Kikuchi Mei was at a loss for words again. According to this logic, the situation is really not optimistic.

Shigeto Chiaki added: "If our enemy is only the 79th temporary China Division, even if we spend half a month fighting the China Army in Nantong, we will admit it. But Kikuchi-san, don't forget, each division of the Imperial Army The regiment and detachment are advancing at full speed towards Nanjing. Are Kikuchi-san willing to miss this grand event?"

Kikuchi Mei suddenly raised her head and said in a deep voice: "The battle to capture Nanjing is a grand ceremony for the empire for a thousand years. Our Shigeto detachment must not miss it." Kikuchi Mei didn't say a word. If they missed this battle, they would also miss it. If you have achieved a lot of military exploits, your promotion path will be much slower than your colleagues.

And if this step is missed, it will be difficult to catch up again.

"So." Shigeto Chiaki said, "We must leave a gap to the east for the Chinese army and force them to break out to the east. Only in the wild can the imperial army's chariots and cavalry take advantage of it, and can we make it possible in a short time Annihilate the Chinese army, and then it is possible to catch up with the Battle of Nanjing, Kikuchi-san, you understand."

"Hai, your Excellency, Commander, I understand." Kikuchi Mi nodded heavily and said, "I will personally go to the Funakoshi Regiment to take command. I must not let the Funakoshi Regiment go beyond the thunder pool."

"Yoshi." Shigeto Chiaki said happily, "Please."

Dividing line

The old soldier was walking on the messy street with a cold expression on his hands.

The situation is already clear. At least one regiment or more of Japs are rushing toward Nantong City from the west and north. Facing such a powerful enemy, it is almost impossible for the ** Battalion to defeat their opponents. The mission was completed, but even so, the veteran was not afraid at all.

Xu Rui passed, even if the soldiers of the ** battalion die, they will die on the way to charge.

The Japanese wanted to swallow up their camp, but they just needed a good pair of teeth.

Taking a step back, even if they end up destroying the whole camp, they will definitely tear off a large piece of flesh from the Japs' bodies, causing them pain to their bones, and let the Japs know that the Chinese are not easy to mess with.

The time that the veterans and the others spent with Xu Rui was actually not that long, less than three days. However, Xu Rui's style and character have deeply affected the veterans and every officer and soldier in the ** camp, regardless of the veterans, Every officer and soldier of the ** Battalion has Xu Rui's mark engraved deep in their souls.

After walking less than twenty meters, two veterans stood up from the ruins and came forward.

Two veterans, one named Li Yi and the other named Heipi, were both veterans of the 79th Route Army and experienced hundreds of battles. After the temporary 79th Division broke out from Wuxi City, it was under the command of Xu Rui Several fierce battles were fought in a row, and although these fierce battles were all ultimately victorious, the company and platoon-level officers had changed several times.

Li Yi and Heipi were promoted from squad deputy to company commander.

In less than three days, Li Yi and Heipi were promoted from corporal squad deputy to captain company commander. This was simply unimaginable in peacetime, but in wartime, no one knew whether they would be alive to see the sun tomorrow. During the war, such sudden promotions were normal.

"Vice Camp"

"Vice Camp"

Li Yi and Heipi stood upright and saluted the veterans.

Although the veteran was not from the 79th Route Army, Li Yi and Heipi still admired the veteran greatly because he had fully demonstrated his skills in previous battles.

Veterans with truly extraordinary skills can easily gain recognition from other soldiers.

The veteran returned the military salute and asked: "How are the fortifications being repaired?"

Li Yidao: "Deputy camp, there are ruins everywhere in the city, and they are all ready-made fortifications."

Li Yi's implication was that there was no need to build fortifications at all, it was completely unnecessary.

"That needs to be repaired too." The veteran said, "The camp is not perfect. The more you sweat in normal times, the less you will bleed during war. If you think of being lazy now, you will regret that you have no place to hide when the enemy's shells fall. , The ruins can block bullets, but they cannot block the Japanese artillery shells, let alone the heavy bombs of the Japanese bombers."

Heipi said cheerfully: "Deputy camp leader, we really are not afraid of Japanese bombs."

After that, Heipi turned around and pointed not far behind him, and said proudly: "Look at the deputy camp, what is this?"

The veteran looked in the direction of the black-skinned finger and saw that it turned out to be the entrance to an air-raid shelter. The veteran suddenly brightened up and said, "It turns out to be an air-raid shelter."

Heipi said: "With this air-raid shelter, we are no longer afraid of Japanese bombings."

The veteran was convinced that with the air-raid shelter, the defense pressure of the ** camp would indeed be much greater. However, one air-raid shelter alone was not enough to solve the problem. He then said: "Even if there is an air-raid shelter, we still have to build fortifications." , how can you still hide in the air-raid shelter and fight the Japanese?"

Heipi's face immediately fell, and he didn't dare to say anything anymore.

Li Yi added: "As for the deputy camp, Nantong has been reduced to ruins by the Japanese. No matter how hard we repair it, we can't build a solid fortification. It's better to just abandon Nantong. Didn't the Japanese who detoured to the east retreat again? We just took advantage of this opportunity." Since the Japanese haven't formed an encirclement yet, hurry up and break out to the east."

"You think too simply." The veteran said coldly, "Have you never thought about why the Japanese who detoured to the east retreated again, and why they left a gap to the east?"

Li Yi frowned and said: "The deputy camp leader is, the Japanese did it on purpose."

"That's right." The veteran said coldly, "The Japs deliberately left a gap to the east to lure us to break out, because in the open area, the Japs' cavalry, artillery and tanks can exert greater power. At that time, we just wanted to fight the devils desperately, and no matter how much we wanted to fight in the streets, we couldn't find a place."

Li Yi suddenly realized it and said bitterly: "I'm sorry, the Japanese are so cunning."

The veteran smiled solemnly and said: "The Japanese are cunning, but if they think we will be fooled, they are too naive. Our ** battalion will stay in Nantong, but we will fight in the streets."

When it was over, the veteran turned around and shouted: "Niu Dazhuang!"

Not far away, Niu Dazhuang, who was wiping the mortar, quickly stood up: "Yes"

The veteran glanced at Niu Dazhuang coldly and said in a deep voice: "Come with me."

"Yes" Niu Dazhuang responded loudly, and then followed the veteran into the depths of the ruins.

The veteran wandered around the ruins on the west side of the city for more than ten minutes, and finally selected a place.

Then the veteran pointed to the three commanding heights around the ruins and said to Niu Zhuang: "Have you seen these three commanding heights?"

Niu Dazhuang looked in the direction of the veteran's finger and saw a collapsed Western church, a three-story Western-style building with half of it collapsed, and a intact warehouse. These three church buildings were like three parts of a triangle. Pointed, surrounding the municipal square with a radius of more than 100 meters, he immediately lowered his head and said: "I saw it."

The veteran added: "Let the three squadrons of the cannon platoon occupy three commanding heights respectively, and then clear all the rubble in the square without leaving any objects for hiding. Is it clear?"

"Listen clearly." Niu responded with a strong head.

The veteran said coldly: "Repeat the order I just gave."

Niu Dazhuang immediately shouted at the top of his lungs: "The three squadrons of the machine gun platoon will each occupy three commanding heights, and then clear all the rubble on the square without leaving any objects for hiding."

"Very good." The veteran nodded with satisfaction and said, "Go ahead."

"Yes" Niu Dazhuang stood at attention and turned back to summon the cannon platoon.
