The veteran said: "Old Xu, I must remind you that this is a detachment!"
Xu Rui smiled slightly and continued: "Veteran, Xiaoqi, Dahai and nerds, you always remember that fighting a war does not depend on the number of troops, weapons and equipment, or logistical support, but on this!" After that! , Xu Rui tapped his head with his finger, and said, "The key to fighting is your brain."
Hei Qi, Li Hai and He Shuya looked confused and didn't know what to say.
The veteran said, "Then I'll have to wait and see what tricks you can come up with."
Xu Rui said happily: "The Chongteng detachment may have more than 10,000 troops. Although we only have more than 200 troops, even if we include the brother troops of the 67th Army, there are less than 600 people. But as long as we plan well, we It’s not like there’s no chance at all, haven’t you thought about defeating them one by one?”
The veteran said in a deep voice: "Destroy them all? How can you defeat them all?"
Xu Rui nodded and said, "Veteran, are you good at war games?"
The veteran instinctively wanted to deny it, because by admitting that he knew war games, he also admitted that he had attended a military academy, and he really did not want to reveal his identity. However, under Xu Rui's sharp eyes, the veteran finally nodded silently and admitted that he He knows how to play war games and admits that he once attended a military academy.
Xu Rui smiled and said, "Okay, let's have a war game."
"Okay." The veteran nodded, "Then I am Shigeto Chiaki now."
Xu Rui picked up two stones from the ground, placed them on the map, and said: "This is the Independent Battalion, this is the 67th Army, and this is the Nantong Pier. The time is from after dark tomorrow night to about early morning. The Independent Battalion and the Sixth Army The fraternal troops of the Seventeenth Army will cross the river at this time and assume a posture of returning to Wuxi."
After saying that, Xu Rui pushed the two stones across the Yangtze River from Nantong to the direction of Wuxi.
The veteran took out two magazines from the leather magazine and placed them on the map. Then he pushed to the Nantong Pier and said in a deep voice: "This is the First Regiment and the Second Regiment of the Taiwan Infantry of the Chongteng Detachment. As soon as the independent battalion changes, these two infantry regiments will move in all directions." Push forward. Prevent the Independence Battalion from crossing the river."
Xu Rui added: "The time to cross the river is at night. The Japanese army is not good at night fighting. In addition, the independent battalion has enough boats. They can cross the river in as little as an hour. You have no time to stop them."
"Wait a minute." He Shuya suddenly interrupted. "Bingzhu, why don't you cross the river quietly? As long as we don't light a torch, the little devils won't know that we are crossing the river. When it gets up the next day and the little devils realize something is wrong, we have already reached the south bank of the Yangtze River, and the little devils will be beyond their reach. ”
"We'll talk about this later." Xu Rui nodded to He Shuya with a smile, and then said to the soldier, "It's your turn now."
"It doesn't matter if you don't have time to stop it, because I still have tactical guidance from the Navy." The veteran said. While taking off a grenade and placing it on the map, he continued, "I will call the navy and ask the navy to dispatch a river defense detachment to assist the infantry across the river. In half an hour, the first infantry brigade will arrive at the south bank of the Yangtze River, with a maximum of two Hours later, the entire Taiwan Infantry Regiment will cross the Yangtze River and pursue the independent battalion."
After saying that, the veteran used a grenade to carry a magazine across the Yangtze River on the map. Advance to Fushan.
Xu Rui smiled slightly and said: "Then what? Will the follow-up troops of the Chongteng detachment also cross the river?"
"That's for sure." The veteran said, "The strength of an infantry regiment alone is probably not enough to deal with the independent battalion."
Xu Rui continued: "So. Please tell me the order of crossing the river for the two infantry regiments of the Chongteng detachment and the directly affiliated units."
The veteran said: "According to the example taught in the military school course, the order of crossing the river should be like this. First let an infantry regiment cross the river, then the artillery team, cavalry team, engineering team and other units directly under the headquarters. Then it is the commander's turn. After the headquarters crosses the river, there is another infantry regiment, but... "
After a short pause, the veteran continued: "However, considering that the enemy is too cunning, in order not to lose the independent battalion, I will let the cavalry cross the river first and use the mobility of the cavalry to bite the independent battalion."
After finishing speaking, the veteran picked up another piece of rubble from the ground and pushed it to the south bank of the Yangtze River as a cavalry team. It was very close to Xu Rui's two stones, almost touching each other.
Xu Rui said: "There is no problem for the cavalry to cross the river first, but I am afraid Shigeto Chiaki will not leave an entire infantry regiment at the end. Don't forget, Nantong has now become the rear area, and the Japanese do not have to worry about being attacked by the Kuomintang army." , so there is absolutely no need to leave an entire infantry regiment behind, Shigeto Chiaki can leave at most one infantry brigade."
After saying that, Xu Rui removed four bullets from the magazine left by the veteran in Jiangbei and placed them on the south bank of the Yangtze River.
In this way, all that was left in Jiangbei was a bullet representing an infantry brigade, and a pile of pebbles representing the Chongteng detachment headquarters and various directly affiliated units.
At this time, the veteran finally understood Xu Rui's intentions.
"You want to attack halfway across the border?" The veteran said solemnly, "But you only have less than 600 troops in total. How many troops are you going to use as bait? How many troops can you leave to fight an ambush?"
"How many troops are left to fight an ambush?" Xu Rui chuckled and said, "All of them!"
After saying that, Xu Rui took back the two stones that had been pushed to the south bank of the Yangtze River. One was pushed near the small stones representing the Chongteng Detachment Headquarters and the various directly affiliated units, meaning to attack the Chongteng Detachment Headquarters, while the other stone was stuck The center between that bullet and the headquarters of the Chongteng detachment means blocking the enemy's troops.
The veteran frowned and said in a deep voice: "Even if Shigeto Chiaki only leaves one infantry brigade to break up the rear, that is an infantry brigade with more than a thousand people. You must leave enough troops to ensure that Shigeto detachment headquarters is captured. , So, how many troops can you have left to block the attack? And how long can you block it?"
Xu Rui said in a deep voice: "The brothers of the 67th Army are responsible for blocking, and the independent battalion is responsible for the attack. In ten minutes at most, the headquarters of Chongteng Detachment can be defeated!"
After finishing speaking, Xu Rui turned to look at the burly Deputy Wan Ying and said, "I don't believe it. More than 300 brothers in the 67th Army couldn't stop the Japanese for ten minutes!"
"Ten minutes? This is absolutely impossible!" the veteran said flatly, "The Chongteng detachment headquarters, artillery team, engineering team, and baggage team combined have thousands of people. Even if they only have a small number of rifles and southern-style pistols, they are still a large number of people." Thousands of people, let alone people, even a thousand pigs are captured by the independent battalion, and I'm afraid they won't be able to catch them all in ten minutes."
Xu Rui said happily: "What you are talking about is just a normal situation. If the headquarters of the Chongteng detachment and the directly affiliated units are in order, and the Taishan collapse does not change, it is indeed impossible for our independent battalion to defeat them in ten minutes. The problem is, I don’t intend to play by common sense at all, what will happen if we attack directly from near Nantong Pier?”
After saying that, Xu Rui pushed the stone representing the independent battalion forward, next to the small pile of stones representing the headquarters of the Chongteng detachment and the various directly affiliated units.
The veteran's face changed slightly, and he was speechless for a moment.
If the independent battalion attacks directly from a location very close to the Nantong Pier, and at this time, the headquarters of the Chongteng detachment and the various directly affiliated units are crowded together because of crossing the river, if it is suddenly attacked at this time, the commander who is crowded near the pier will The department and the various directly affiliated troops will definitely be in chaos.
As long as the order is disrupted, the situation will collapse immediately!
Perhaps in less than ten minutes, the independent battalion would drive the headquarters of the Chongteng detachment and all directly affiliated units into the mud of the river beach, killing them wantonly.
But soon, the veteran retorted again: "But this is just a hypothesis after all. The Japanese are not idiots, and it is impossible for more than 200 brothers in the Independent Battalion to be invisible. It is impossible to suddenly appear near the Nantong Pier. What's more important is that , it is even less possible for the brothers of the Independent Battalion to spread their wings and fly back from the south bank to launch a surprise attack towards the Nantong Pier."
Xu Rui laughed and said: "So, if I tell you that crossing the river is a lie, what if more than 200 brothers from the Independent Battalion have dug tunnels and hid quietly? Moreover, the tunnel is near the pier!"
The veteran was speechless again. Did he dig a tunnel near Nantong Pier in advance
Let more than 200 brothers from the Independent Battalion hide in? It’s a shame Lao Xu could figure it out!
However, the veterans must admit that if Old Xu really acted out the drama of crossing the Yangtze River and the Japanese had the preconception that the officers and soldiers of the Independent Battalion had crossed the Yangtze River south, it would be unlikely that they would conduct a blanket search of the Nantong Pier. Then the officers and soldiers of the Independent Battalion would be It is really possible to hide from the eyes and ears of the Japanese and achieve the effect of hiding from the enemy.
And if the deception is successful, it is entirely possible that when the Chongteng detachment is halfway across the river, a sudden attack will be launched and the headquarters of the Chongteng detachment and all the directly affiliated detachments will be defeated in one fell swoop.
"Okay, I admit that your plan of concealing the truth is likely to succeed. Facing the independent battalion's surprise attack, the headquarters of the Chongteng detachment and the directly affiliated units may not be able to hold on for ten minutes." The veteran nodded, but then He changed his tone and continued, "But you ignored a very important point."
"Oh?" Xu Rui said with a smile on his lips, "I would like to hear the details."
The veteran pushed back the pile of rocks representing the Chongteng detachment headquarters and the directly affiliated team, and said: "I must remind you that defeat and total annihilation are two different concepts. A sudden attack by the independent battalion is likely to defeat Chongteng within ten minutes." The detachment's headquarters and the directly affiliated teams made them a mess, and were even driven into the mud of the river beach by the independent battalion. However, if you want to completely annihilate the Japanese, it will take more time. Don't tell me, you just want to Defeat the devils."
"Of course not." Xu Rui smiled, "Of course I want to annihilate all the Japanese."
"Then tell me," the veteran said, "how long will it take for the independent battalion to wipe out all the Japanese?"
Xu Rui smiled and continued: "It will take at least two hours, and it will only be more, not less."
"Two hours?" the veteran said coldly, "It only takes half an hour at most. The main force of the Chongteng detachment that has already crossed the river will come back across the river. Plus the infantry brigade staying in the north of the river, don't you think that the independent battalion will be able to cross the river and come back?" Can the brother troops of the Sixty-seventh Army still be able to launch a mopping up the Japanese rout under the attack from the north and south of at least two infantry brigades?"
Xu Rui nodded and said without hesitation: "Yes!" (To be continued.)
