Chapter 32: Tactical Deception

The morale of the more than 200 remnants has been thoroughly raised. [No pop-up novel network]

Xu Rui jumped off the special train, first grinned at the more than 200 remnants in the queue, and then turned around and rushed away, and the more than 200 remnants immediately roared and shouted, followed by Xu Rui surging in the direction of Wuxi.

The veteran strode after Xu Rui and asked in a low voice, "Old Xu, do you really plan to take revenge?"

"Nonsense." Xu Rui said domineeringly, "I don't care what happened to the provisional 79th Division before, but from now on, only others will suffer our losses, and we will never suffer others' losses." ”

The veteran said coldly: "Do you really think that with two remnant companies, you can recover Wuxi and annihilate the Lihua Wing."

"Who said that I want to recover Wuxi, and annihilate the Lihua United" Xu Rui smiled and said, "I just want to kill Tachibana Koji to avenge Lao Lin, that's all"

The veteran said, "Does it make a difference?" ”

Xu Rui said: "Of course there is a difference. ”

The veteran said: "What's the difference"

Xu Rui smiled and said, "You'll know soon." ”

As he spoke, the troops happened to enter a bamboo forest, with towering bamboo on both sides.

Xu Rui immediately raised his hand, stopped the remnants of the soldiers who followed behind him, and then said loudly: "Brothers, I already feel that the little devil is coming over here, it seems that we don't need to go to Wuxi, just wait for them all here, immediately enter the bamboo forest on both sides to ambush, no one is allowed to shoot without my order."

More than 200 remnants of the soldiers immediately dispersed left and right and entered the bamboo forest to ambush.

Xu Rui also found a high ground and lay down, holding a telescope to look ahead.

The veteran came over and said, "Lao Xu, it turns out that you chose to ambush here from the beginning, and killing back to Wuxi is just lip service." ”

"Otherwise," Xu Rui said hesitantly, "If you really go back to Wuxi, it's not enough for us to stuff the little devil's teeth." ”

The veteran said: "I must admit that the ambush site you chose is indeed good, the question is, how can you be sure that it must be the Japanese army from Wuxi, Changshu is not far from here, what if it is the Japanese army in Changshu?"

Xu Rui asked rhetorically: "Do you think it is glorious for the Japanese army in Changshu to come to Baoxing to collect the corpses for the Japanese army in Wuxi?"

The veteran was dumbfounded, if Fushimi Palace Toshihiko had not been killed, then don't say Changshu, I was afraid that even the Japanese army in Suzhou would rush to reinforce it, but now that Fushimi Palace Toshihiko is dead, it will be meaningless for the Japanese troops from all over the country to come to Baoxing again, but the Japanese army in Wuxi must come, because Baoxing is the defense area of the Japanese army in Wuxi.

At that moment, the veteran said: "Okay, I admit that what you said is reasonable, most of the people who came to Bao Xing to collect the corpses for Fushimi Palace Toshihiko were and could only be the Japanese army in Wuxi, but in case the Japanese army in Wuxi came to a wing, there was no wing, just a brigade, and it was definitely not something we could eat, we only had two companies." ”

"Do you think you need so many people to collect the corpse," Xu Rui said hesitantly.

The veteran was dumbfounded again, and it seemed that there were indeed not too many people needed to collect the corpse.

Xu Rui suddenly said: "However, what you said reminded me, it seems that I have to give the devil some eye medicine." ”

After speaking, Xu Rui called Li Hai to him and instructed: "Li Hai, you take a platoon, go west, until you reach the Taihu Lake, and then find a village to hide, hide for a night, and then come back, we will wait for you in Baoxing Town, and remember, put the military flag out, be sure to let the little devil reconnaissance plane see it." ”

"Why is this" Li Hai was not happy and muttered, "Sir Xu, I want to stay and fight devils." ”

"It's an order, carry out the order." Xu Rui couldn't help but say at all, and said, "Also, when marching in the field, you can't walk in a straight line, you have to take a zigzag, remember." ”

Lehi couldn't help it, so he let out a weak sigh, picked up a platoon and left.

The veteran said in a deep voice, "You are carrying out tactical deception to make the devil believe that we have broken into pieces. ”

"I can see it" Xu Rui grinned and said, "What do you think, how can I deceive this tactic?"

The veteran glanced at Xu Rui deeply and said: "Old Xu, I have to admit that you are a master of tactics, no matter how powerful the little devil is, I am afraid that I would never have imagined that after we killed Fushimi Palace Toshihiko, not only did we transfer immediately, but we actually dared to stay nearby and fight them in an ambush again, they would be hit by a ten chance."

"It's not ten, it's certain," Xu Rui said hesitantly.

The veteran said awe-inspiringly: "You are so sure." ”

Xu Rui sneered: "I'm so sure." ”

The veteran frowned and said, "What about the reason?"

Xu Rui asked rhetorically: "Do you need a reason?"

The veteran was dumbfounded again, and after a long time, he said deeply: "Old Xu, now I begin to believe that you really came out of the Brandenburg special forces training camp." ”

Xu Rui smiled and said: "You didn't believe it before co-authoring"

"Believe it too." "But now I believe more." ”

"Slippery head, it doesn't matter if I came out of the Brandenburg special forces training camp or not, the important thing is to do the devil" Xu Rui stretched out his hand and pointed to a small hill in front of him, and said, "The height of that hill bag is higher than the bamboo forest, and the vision should be good, let's go there and build two sniper points, and strive to kill the commander of the devil first, then this battle will be easy to fight." ”

"Yes," the veteran snapped in agreement, "and the commander of the devil will be handed over to me." ”

Dividing line

The eastern suburbs of Wuxi City, the railway bridge position.

Craters, scattered guns, and spilled black blood everywhere suggest that there was a terrible battle here not so long ago.

Tachibana Koji turned on his horse, then looked back at the Japanese troops lined up behind him.

Half an hour ago, after the Tachibana Wing broke through the railway bridge position of **, Tachibana Koji did not give the order to rush to the aid of Baoxing Town, but ordered the troops to rest in place.

Because Tachibana Koji knew that it was no longer meaningful for heavy troops to rush to the aid of Baoxing Town.

For so long, whether it should have happened or not, I'm afraid it has already happened.

Sure enough, as soon as the order for rest and recuperation was issued, the communications office of the wing received an order from the division headquarters, and the original plan to rush to the aid of Baoxing Town was canceled, and the latest order was: Yukiji Tachibana went to Baoxing Town to deal with the aftermath, to put it bluntly, Yukiji Tachibana rushed to Baoxing Town to retrieve the body of Toshihiko Fushiminomiya.

It's just to deal with the aftermath, so naturally there is no need to bring a wing, after all, the big army is not something that can be moved lightly.

Akita Shaoza was worried about the safety of Koji Tachibana, so he stepped forward and said, "Captain, wouldn't it be too risky to take only one infantry squadron with you, or you should go with the 2nd Infantry Brigade led by the humble officer."

Koji Tachibana said: "Why, do you think that the 7th Infantry Squadron can't guarantee my safety"

Akita Shaosa said: "Wing Commander, as far as I know, His Royal Highness the Prince's guard has three squadrons, and these three squadrons are also equipped with all German-made 36 Schmeiser submachine guns. ”

The implication of Akita Shaosa's words is that Fushimiya Toshihiko has three squadrons of guards that cannot guarantee safety, which shows that the combat effectiveness of the remnants of the provisional 79th Division is very strong, and Tachibana Koji only brings one infantry squadron to it, which is of course very dangerous.

Tachibana Koji waved his hand and asked rhetorically, "Akita-san, do you think that the remnants of the provisional 79th Division will stay in Baoxing Town after attacking His Royal Highness the Prince's special train?"

Akita Shaosa said: "It's hard to say, the actions of the remnants of the 79th Division are always unexpected, first sneak attack on our headquarters, then destroy our artillery positions, and then rush for 20 miles to ambush His Royal Highness the Prince's special train, who is sure that they will not ambush again in Baoxing"

Admittedly, Akita still has a bit of a tactical eye.

Unfortunately, Koji Tachibana disagreed, shook his head and said, "Akita-san, there is a sentence that I don't know if you have heard."

Akita Shaosa said: "What words"

Koji Tachibana said: "The soul of the soldier will be the soldier, and the soldier will be the courage of the general." ”

"The soul of the soldier, the soldier is the courage of the general" Akita Shaoza said blankly, "What do you mean"

Tachibana Koji said: "The meaning of this sentence is that the general is the soul of an army, and the soldier is the courage of the general, as long as the general is still there, the army will not die, as long as the soldier is still there, the courage of the general is still there, which means that the general and the soldier are interdependent." ”

Akita Shaosa said: "The co-captain means to say"

"I mean that." Tachibana Koji shook his head and said, "Lin Feng, who commanded the provisional 79th Division to break through and attack the headquarters and artillery positions, has been killed, and the soul of this remnant army is gone, and an army that has lost its soul is just a group of rabble, so there is nothing to worry about." ”

Akita Shaosa said: "But they ambushed the special train of His Royal Highness the Prince again, and"

Tachibana Koji said: "Ambushing the remnants of the provisional 79th Division of His Royal Highness the Prince was just acting on orders, and now that Lin Feng is dead, this remnant has lost its command, and it is no longer possible to pose any threat to the imperial army, I even dare to assert that it is impossible for this remnant of the provisional 79th Division to remain in Baoxing, let alone ambush us, they may have collapsed." ”

Akita Shaoza was still a little worried, and said: "This is just the speculation of the wing commander, and it has not been confirmed by the aviation. ”

Tachibana Koji said: "Akita-san, you don't need to say more, take your troops to rest here, and next, you have to encircle and suppress the remnants of the Provisional 79th Division, if you want to catch such a small force in a vast area of several hundred kilometers, it is not an easy task, if this remnant has collapsed, it will be even more difficult to exterminate these stragglers, so you better take advantage of the fact that before the order comes down, take care of your strength." ”

As soon as Tachibana Koji's words fell, the communications staff officer hurriedly ran over and reported: "Wing Commander, I have just received a report from the Front Army Headquarters from Shanghai that the reconnaissance plane of the Front Army Aviation Corps has found a ** force five miles west of Baoxing Town, and there is about one platoon, judging from the banner raised, it is a temporary 79th Division, and in addition, several broken troops have also been found in other directions, but the number is even less. ”

Tachibana Koji turned his head to Akita Shaozo and said: "Akita-san, what I just said is that as soon as Lin Feng dies, the military soul of the provisional 79th Division has been destroyed, no, before our side can make a move, they have already collapsed." ”

"Hayi" Akita Shaoza nodded heavily, and said convincingly, "The co-captain is wise. ”

Tachibana Koji waved his hand, waved his hand and shouted: "Let's go, rush to Baoxing Town within half an hour." ”

"Hai" rode a horse and stood beside Koji Tachibana, a lieutenant military officer who paused heavily, then turned back to his herald and shouted, "Get out of the way"
