♂,
"I'm really not afraid of bursting my stomach." Xu Rui chuckled and said to the sick Luo Zhongyi, "Chief of Staff Luo, my family, Xu Rui, was poor when I was a child, so I had a big appetite. No matter how much I ate, I couldn't hold it down. "After a pause, Xu Rui added, "Besides, the Osaka Division can only be regarded as an appetizer, how can it support me?"
At this time, nearly sixteen hours had passed since the main force of the Dameishan Military Division encircled the Osaka Division and the 8th Independent Tank Regiment. After Luo Zhongyi was rescued, he was immediately sent to the field hospital and treated by Oluhara Junko performed the surgery herself and finally took her life back from the Lord of Hell.
Xu Rui and Wang Husheng also rushed over to visit as soon as possible, just in time for Luo Zhongyi to wake up.
"The Osaka Division is just an appetizer?" Luo Zhongyi said, "Commander Xu, how can the Japanese be embarrassed by your words?"
"Compared with the Himeji Division and the Kumamoto Division, the Osaka Division is really just an appetizer." Xu Rui chuckled and said to Luo Zhongyi, "Chief of Staff Luo, don't call me commander anymore, too Just call me Xiao Xu, no matter what, you are an old Red Army veteran, and as a junior, I cannot afford to be called you like that."
Luo Zhongyi smiled and said: "Then don't call me Chief of Staff, call me Lao Luo."
"Okay, call me Lao Luo." Xu Rui said with a smile, "Lao Luo, just relax and recuperate first, and we'll talk about it after the battle is over. Your Suzhong Special Agent Group really helped us a lot this time. We'll wait for the counter-mopping up." It’s over, our Dameishan Military Division will definitely give you a big gift. In short, I guarantee that you, Lao Luo, will be satisfied.”
"This is what you said." Luo Zhongyi said, "If you are not satisfied, I will scold you."
"No problem." Xu Rui patted his chest and said, "If this thing doesn't work out, I will kill myself with a piece of tofu before you come to scold me, Lao Luo."
After exchanging a few words, Xu Rui and Wang Husheng said goodbye.
Watching Xu Rui and Wang Husheng leave, a battalion commander in the same ward couldn't help but start to look forward to it. This battalion commander is also the only surviving cadre of the Central Jiangsu Military Region's special agent regiment. Of course, it should be noted that the entire Central Jiangsu Military Region's special agents There were more than a thousand people in the regiment, but in the end less than ten people survived, so Xu Rui really owed the Suzhong Military Region a big favor!
The battalion commander said longingly: "Chief of Staff, how many good things do you think Commander Xu will give us?"
"What do you think?" Luo Zhongyi joked, "How many good things do you think he should give us?"
The battalion commander said: "Is it too little equipment for one regiment? It seems too much for one brigade."
"How much equipment does a brigade have? You only have this much potential. If Xu Rui doesn't give me a division's equipment this time, I'm not done with him! Oh, and all the equipment of an artillery battalion must be added!" Luo Zhongyi said. I was so excited that I accidentally touched the wound, and I couldn't help but groan.
The battalion commander asked again: "Chief of Staff, do you think the Dameishan Military Division can completely annihilate the Osaka Division?"
"There should be no problem." Luo Zhongyi also felt uncertain and said, "Seeing how awesome Xu Rui is, if he didn't have some confidence, he wouldn't dare to boast so much in front of me."
(Dividing line)
Xu Rui really wasn't boasting, the Osaka Division was indeed about to be destroyed.
In the previous sixteen hours, the Dameishan Military Division had thwarted six breakout attempts by the Osaka Division and even reduced the encirclement to a radius of two kilometers.
Now, the Osaka Division is trapped at the foot of Qingniu Ridge and cannot move.
This is also due to Xu Rui's calmness, or cold-bloodedness. Even when the Wakayama Regiment of the Osaka Division broke through the Qingniuling defense line and broke into Meixian County to start a street battle with the Central Jiangsu Special Agents, Xu Rui still refused to give in. The Third Regiment returned to aid Meixian, but was strictly ordered to stay in Pu County to recuperate.
In the days and nights when the main force of the Dameishan Military Division was fighting the Kumamoto Division on the Western Front battlefield, the Central Jiangsu Military Region's special agents, the Meixian militia, cadet soldiers and even the children's regiment were engaged in brutal street fighting with the Japanese Wakayama Regiment in Meixian County. He Shuya's third regiment has been recuperating in Pucheng. The officers and soldiers of the regiment only eat and sleep every day.
Therefore, when the Third Regiment finally received Xu Rui's order, it was as energetic as a tiger descending from the mountain!
Therefore, after a series of fierce battles, although the First Regiment, Second Regiment, and Guard Regiment were exhausted, the Third Regiment was more vigorous. When the Osaka Division's breakout force encountered the Third Regiment's blocking force, the result could be imagined. I know, because the physical strength of the Osaka Division is not much better than the main force of the Dameishan Military Division.
In addition to being exhausted, the Osaka Division also lacked ammunition!
Due to insufficient ammunition, the 8th Independent Tank Regiment, which was cooperating in coordinated operations, was unable to deploy. This was also the main reason why the Osaka Division suffered a disastrous defeat in its six breakouts! It should be noted that He Dacong's tank company was not allowed to participate in the battle, so until now, there has been no real tank battle between the Chinese and Japanese armies.
As soon as Xu Rui and Wang Husheng returned to the headquarters, they immediately held a military meeting.
At this time, the encirclement of the Osaka Division and the 8th Independent Tank Regiment has been completed, and the trench fortifications in three directions have been basically constructed. As long as no major accidents occur, the Osaka Division and the 8th Independent Tank Regiment will It was no longer possible for the Eighth Regiment to break out of the encirclement, so Xu Rui dared to call the chief officers of each unit for a meeting.
When Xu Rui and Wang Husheng walked into the conference room, except for He Shuya and Huang Shouxin who were full of energy, the other chief officials such as He Guangming and Wan Zhongshan all had their heads drooped and looked weak.
To be honest, fighting continuously is really tiring, and my body is so strong that my bones can’t stand it.
However, when they saw Xu Rui and Wang Husheng coming in, the chief officials present cheered up.
Xu Rui's eyes swept across the faces of the attending officials and said in a deep voice: "I know that everyone is already very tired. In fact, I am also tired. I wish I could close my eyes now and sleep with him for three days and three nights, but No, we haven’t finished our work yet, and we can’t rest yet, so lift your heads and straighten your bodies!”
Wang Husheng also said: "Everyone, hold on a little longer. After this battle, I will make the decision and give this guy a seven-day holiday!"
Upon hearing this, the chief officials present at the meeting immediately cheered, and their spirits finally improved. It would be better to take a vacation.
Xu Rui raised his hand to suppress the noise of the crowd and said in a deep voice: "Old Wang has decided to take a seven-day holiday. That is an exception. Don't let him down." After a pause, he continued, "Now, I Let’s talk about the next general offensive plan. The Osaka Division was originally a famous useless division. The Wakayama Regiment, the only one that could still fight, was crippled by the Soviet Central Secret Service Regiment, and then the garrison regiment was completely annihilated, and even The regimental flag was also surrendered by the security regiment.”
After saying that, Xu Rui said to Gao Chu: "Lao Gao, this credit must be attributed to the Suzhong Special Agent Group. You are not allowed to argue. The captured coalition flag must be handed over to them when you return, do you understand?"
"I know." Gao Chu replied a little weakly.
Xu Rui continued: "In short, the Osaka Division is a famous useless division. In addition, it has spent so long in Qingniuling and is already exhausted. Therefore, it is not a problem to eliminate the Osaka Division. The problem is, coordination The 8th Independent Tank Regiment in action.”
He Guangming said: "This is not difficult. In the previous breakout battles, the 8th Independent Tank Regiment also participated in the battle, but its performance was just like that, nothing remarkable."
Xu Rui said: "That's because they have no more artillery shells."
Compared with Western tanks, the Little Devil's tanks actually have a lot of ammunition. For example, the Type 95 light tank has a main gun ammunition reserve of 120, while the Type 97 medium tank has a main gun caliber of 57mm. The ammunition reserve is also 120, while the same type of tanks in the West only have about half the ammunition.
Among the 120 ammunition of the Japanese tank, there are 80 grenades and the remaining 20 are armor-piercing shells.
These eighty grenades are used to support infantry, and twenty armor-piercing shells are used to deal with enemy tanks. However, considering that the Dameishan Independent Regiment is not equipped with armored troops, the tanks of the Eighth Independent Tank Regiment are not The armor-piercing shells were left behind, and all artillery shells were used to support infantry operations.
In the previous attack on Qingniuling, the artillery regiment of the Osaka Division basically played no role. Basically, the 8th Independent Tank Regiment provided artillery support to the infantry. So after a few days, the independent tanks The Eighth Regiment's artillery shells were basically consumed, and after six failed breakouts, there was not much left.
He Guangming said: "It is precisely because the Japanese tanks have no shells that it is not difficult to deal with them."
Xu Rui asked: "Lao He, tell me, how do you plan to deal with the Japanese tanks?"
He Guangming said: "What's the plan? Just send the blasters to blow up the explosives."
"Go away!" Xu Rui said angrily, "If it could explode, would I still wait until now?"
"Can't blow it up?" He Guangming asked blankly, "Then what's the deal? Is it possible that it can still be captured?"
He Guangming and other battalion leaders did not know that the Third Regiment had captured seventeen Type 95 light tanks in Pucheng, and they did not know that the engineering battalion had formed a tank company with these seventeen tanks. Of course Xu Rui He received the news immediately, but he did not tell He Guangming and the others the news because it was not necessary.
At that moment, Xu Rui said to He Shuya: "Nerd, tell them, how did you capture those seventeen Japanese tanks from the tank company of the Engineer Battalion?"
"What, the tank company has a tank?"
"Seventeen Japanese tanks were captured?"
"My dear, is that a real tank company?"
"Damn it, so our military division also has real armored forces?"
"Damn it, does this mean we can fight tank battles with the Japanese?"
He Guangming and a dozen other chief officials immediately became energetic after hearing this, and the fatigue on their bodies disappeared instantly, because the news was indeed exciting. (To be continued.)
