When Xu Rui and Laing Laing came down from the mud mountain, it started to get dark.
Until this time, Shigeto Chiaki still harbored illusions, and still wanted to drive the remnants of the temporary 79th Division out of Nantong City and into open areas to annihilate them. Therefore, no troops were deployed in Dongxiao, Nantong City. , but Xu Rui did not take it lightly and still told the police posts in the eastern suburbs to be more vigilant.
By the time Xu Rui and Lao Laing returned to Nantong city, the sky was completely dark.
As Xu Rui expected, the troops escorting the arms did come back, but only part of them.
When Xu Rui and Lao Laing rushed to the pier excitedly, they found that the atmosphere on the pier was quite solemn.
"The camp seat!" When he saw Xu Rui, Ah Fu fell to his knees and burst into tears, "The camp seat..."
Xu Rui stepped forward to help Ah Fu, but Ah Fu just cried and couldn't speak. Xu Rui looked behind Ah Fu again, only to find that in addition to a few remnants of the independent battalion, there were also many strangers gathered behind Ah Fu. Figures, these figures are all wearing single clothes and straw sandals, and the weapons on their backs are either made in Hanyang or old sleeves.
Almost at the first sight, Xu Rui knew the origin of this unit.
Yes, this unit is definitely the guerrillas under the leadership of the Communist Party, and it is the unit he is looking for!
However, Xu Rui was not eager to have any contact with the other party, nor did he easily express his intention to defect. No matter what, this was a major event related to the future of more than 200 soldiers in the independent battalion. He must respect the opinions of his brothers as much as possible. He can be arbitrary in other matters, but not in this matter.
"Ah Fu, what's going on?" Xu Rui turned his attention back to Ah Fu, "Where's Xiao Qi?"
"Dead, Brother Seven is dead." Ah Fu finally stopped crying and choked, "When we were transporting the last batch of weapons and ammunition, we encountered a group of Japs. In order to stop the Japs, Brother Seven and the entire platoon Almost all the brothers are dead. If the Communist guerrillas hadn't arrived just in time, I, I, I, I'm afraid I would have confessed."
Xu Rui let out a long sigh, patted Ah Fu on the shoulder and said, "Ah Fu, you are very good. You have successfully completed the task. Go down and have something to eat and sleep, and then continue to fight the Japanese tomorrow."
Ah Fu responded, turned around and left with a few remaining soldiers.
Xu Rui's eyes swept around the dock and finally settled on a girl with two guns on her waist.
This girl is young, petite, and looks fragile, but Xu Rui feels a sharpness that cannot be hidden from her, like a sword that has been sharpened, sharp and chilling! Especially the two mirrored boxes slung on her shoulders made her look particularly heroic, but they also revealed her identity.
This girl is none other than Xiao Yanyue, the captain of the Southern Jiangsu guerrillas under the leadership of ***.
"My Excellency, Xu Rui, is temporarily the commander of the independent battalion of the 79th Division." Xu Rui clasped his fists at Xiao Yanyue and said, "But I don't know what to call the girl?"
"Xiao Yanyue, captain of the **** Southern Jiangsu Guerrillas." Xiao Yanyue returned the greeting with cupped fists.
Xu Rui added: "Thanks to you this time, otherwise, something might have happened."
"You're welcome, Commander Xu." Xiao Yanyue said calmly, "We are also following orders, that's all."
Xu Rui could feel the coldness in Xiao Yanyue's words, especially the big man behind her. When he looked at Xu Rui and the officers and soldiers of the Independent Battalion, he did not hide the hostility in his expression. Obviously, this was another follower. The old Red Army, who had a bloody feud with the Kuomintang and the Kuomintang, could not turn around ideologically for a while.
Xu Rui didn't care about the big man's hostility at all, and said with a smile: "No matter what, your army has helped us a lot this time, but it is a war period right now, so I'm afraid we can't give you any thanks. So, what we just did We seized more than a hundred sets of cotton coats and more than a hundred rifles from the Japanese, so we can take them as a thank you gift."
Yesterday plus today, the Independence Battalion killed more than 400 Japanese.
Except for some of the corpses of these Japs that were snatched back, most of them fell into the hands of the Independent Battalion. Of course, the officers and soldiers of the Independent Battalion were not polite to the Japs. They stripped them all and stuffed them under the rubble. The cotton coats peeled off from the Japs were Some of them were given to the soldiers of the Northeast Army of the 67th Army, but now there are still more than 100 pieces left.
As for equipment, the independent battalion now has no shortage of it.
"Thank you." Xiao Yanyue did not refuse Xu Rui's kindness. Firstly, the guerrillas did need weapons, especially winter clothes. Secondly, she also felt that it was natural to take these weapons and cotton coats, because they helped temporarily The 79th Division independently operated and returned a large amount of arms. Shouldn't the other party give some of them as a thank you gift
Seeing Xu Rui's generous move, the hostility on the soldier's face softened slightly.
No matter what, the battalion commander was at least quite interesting, and it was not a worthwhile trip for them.
Xu Rui added: "Heipi, take the brothers with you to eat something first, and then take a rest. By the way, don't forget to give them cotton coats and weapons and equipment first."
"Yes." Heipi quickly took two steps forward and said, "Please!"
Jiang Nan suddenly said: "Battle Commander Xu, how about I also go and help settle the friendly troops?"
Xu Rui turned around, looked at Jiang Nan with a half-smile, and said, "Then it's time to work."
Jiang Nan couldn't help but roll her eyes at Xu Rui again. She didn't know why, but she always felt that Xu Rui's eyes seemed to be able to see through everything, which made her feel inexplicably guilty. Has this guy noticed something? However, Jiang Nan quickly put this ridiculous idea behind him. Her identity was top secret and could not be leaked.
Jiang Nan left with an uneasy mood, but Xu Rui's mind returned to the war in front of him.
Twenty brand-new Type 92 heavy machine guns and 20 basic ammunition are already in place, so the curtain of the drama of annihilating the Chongteng detachment has begun.
(Dividing line)
The weather was cold, and Shigeto Chiaki was wrapped in a military blanket and still felt chills, so he asked the orderly to light a fire in the military tent, fill a kettle with water, and put it on the fire to bake.
After drinking some hot water, Shigeto Chiaki finally felt warmer.
After another rest, Shigeto Chiaki was about to go to bed when Oda Nobuyoshi, captain of the 2nd Taiwan Infantry Regiment, suddenly hurried into his tent and said: "Your Excellency, Commander, something happened!"
Chiaki Shigedo buttoned the newly unbuttoned button back and asked, "What happened?"
Oda Nobuyoshi took a breath and said in a deep voice: "The Chinese army is crossing the river overnight!"
"Nani? Cross the river?" Shigeto Chiaki stood up immediately, grabbed the saber and hurried out.
The sudden crossing of the river by the Chinese army was beyond Chiaki Shigeto's expectation. He had thought that the Chinese army would move eastward, and he also thought that the Chinese army would fight to the death and break through to the north or even west. I even thought about defending Nantong to the end, but I never thought that the Chinese army would cross the river again and fight back to the south bank of the Yangtze River.
Because it was completely against common sense to cross the Yangtze River, how could they possibly cross back to the south bank again after finally crossing the Yangtze River? Aren’t the Chinese afraid of being surrounded by Japanese troops on the south bank? After all, the Japanese army already controlled the entire battlefield, and it was impossible for the Chinese to know that the three infantry regiments on the south bank had actually withdrawn.
However, the cruel reality dealt a heavy blow to Shigeto Chiaki.
What Shigeto thought was impossible, actually happened!
Shigeto Chiaki hurriedly walked out of the tent and climbed onto the hill near the headquarters.
Standing on a hill and looking down at the river to the east, I saw that the Nantong Pier under the control of the Chinese army was indeed brightly lit with torches. Groups of Chinese troops were boarding ships with torches, and two ships were already full of Chinese soldiers. The boat has even left the port and is sailing towards the dark center of the river.
On the pier, there are more boats lined up.
Farther away, more Chinese soldiers are swarming in.
"Baga, Baga Yalu." Shigeto Chiaki put down the telescope and cursed through gritted teeth.
However, scolding can no longer solve any problem. The Chinese army must be prevented from crossing the river.
Oda Nobuyoshi said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, Commander, if we cannot prevent the Chinese army from crossing the river, we will be in big trouble. At this time, the 6th Infantry Regiment, the 20th Regiment and the 101st Infantry Regiment have already passed Zhenjiang. We are marching towards Nanjing. There are only two military police units near Wuxi and Suzhou. You know the combat effectiveness of these military police units. They are all formed by temporarily recruiting local soldiers. It is okay to scare the Chinese, but if there is a real war... "
Oda Nobuyoshi did not continue, but the implication of his words was already very clear.
It can be said that the gendarmerie in Wuxi and Suzhou have no combat effectiveness at all. If we expect them to stop the remnants of the temporary 79th Division, we might as well hope for pie in the sky. If the gendarmerie in Wuxi and Suzhou cannot stop them, the temporary 79th Division The remnants of the division can then retreat south in large strides, directly to northern Zhejiang, and to the areas controlled by the Kuomintang Army.
Because at this time, the Central China Condemnation Army and the main force of the 11th Army were advancing at full speed towards Nanjing. Almost all the troops had gathered on the Nanjing and Wuhu front lines, and the areas in western Shanghai and northern Zhejiang had become the rear area, and in many places even the gendarmerie We haven’t even had time to settle in yet, so this is a completely smooth road.
Shigeto Chiaki now even doubts that the temporary 79th Division's crossing of the Yangtze River is just a pretense. When the Japanese army's attention and pursuit troops are attracted to the north of the Yangtze River, the temporary 79th Division can easily escape by turning around and fighting back to the south bank of the Yangtze River. Chasing troops, and retreated all the way to northern Zhejiang, retreating into the area controlled by the Chinese army.
The more Shigedo Chiaki thought about it, the more he felt that this was extremely possible.
Baga, the cunning Chinese, not only deceived him, Shigeto Chiaki, but even deceived the front army headquarters!
"Oda-san, we must stop them!" Chiaki Shigeto said through gritted teeth, "They must not be allowed to cross the river. Order the artillery to shoot out all the shells. Stop them at all costs, stop them, stop them..." In the end, Chiaki Shigeto had already He lost his usual composure and started shouting hysterically.
"Hai." The ordering soldier nodded heavily, turned around and conveyed the order. Mobile phone users please visit w reading for a better reading experience.
