Chapter 11 Boosting Morale

However, Lin Feng immediately thought of another question.

When it comes to guerrilla warfare, you must have a fixed area for activities.

Otherwise, no matter how capable the army is of conquering and fighting, it will be just a tree without roots and water without a source, and it is destined not to last long.

Lin Feng added: "But Brother Xu, even if you are fighting guerrillas, you still have to have a base, right? What do you think is the best place for us to choose as our base?"

Xu Rui took out a map from his bag.

Xu Rui got this combat map from a Japanese officer.

Xu Rui spread the map on the ground, then pointed at the map and said to Lin Feng: "Brother Lin, please look, this is Nanjing. It will only be a matter of time before Nanjing is captured. After the little devils capture Nanjing, their next step will definitely be along the same path."

Follow Jinpu Road north to Xuzhou to join the Japanese army in North China, and then move west along the Yangtze River to attack Wuhan."

Lin Feng nodded in agreement, still agreeing with Xu Rui's judgment.

Xu Rui pointed to a certain place on the map and said: "This is Damei Mountain. Damei Mountain borders Jinpu Road to the east and the Yangtze River waterway to the south. As long as we control Damei Mountain, the little devils can transport military supplies from Jinpu Road or the Yangtze River.

They are all within our attack range, and guarding these two water and land lines of communication, we still worry about not having military supplies?"

Lin Feng's eyes fell on the map, and he nodded: "This Damei Mountain is really a good place."

"That's not all." Xu Rui drew a big circle on the map and continued, "When our temporary 79th Division recovers or becomes stronger in the future, we can even control the entire Dabie Mountains.

By that time, Longhai Road in the north and Pinghan Road in the west will also be within our attack range!"

Lin Feng's eyes lit up, and he was completely attracted by the distant scenery described by Xu Rui.

If the temporary 79th Division can really gain a foothold in Dameishan and grow stronger, it will naturally be a thousand or ten thousand times better than returning to the war zone and being criticized by the commander.

However, Lin Feng was excited for less than half a second, and Xu Rui immediately poured cold water on him.

Xu Rui said: "But Brother Lin, please forgive me for being blunt. With the current situation of the temporary 79th Division, let alone crossing the Yangtze River to Damei Mountain, even escaping from the Japanese pursuers in Wuxi would be difficult. What if tomorrow?

Under aerial reconnaissance, even if only an infantry squadron is picked up, you will be doomed."

Xu Rui's words are an exaggeration. As a special operations soldier with a military background, and as a top student who graduated from Nanjing Military Academy, he has many ways to bring the remnants of the temporary 79th Division to Dameishan. If even this

Nothing can be done. Xu Rui has the nerve to call himself the King of Soldiers and the top student of Nanjing Military Academy?

Xu Rui just didn't want to lead a group of broken troops with low morale and lack of equipment.

What Xu Rui wants is a roaring elite force with high morale, high fighting spirit and well-equipped equipment. Such a force can quickly open up situations wherever it goes.

Therefore, we must lead the defeated troops of the temporary 79th Division to fight a beautiful turnaround.

Lin Feng couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and then looked back into the yard. He saw that most of the remnant soldiers gathered in the yard were in ragged clothes. Many of the remnant soldiers' rubber shoes were so worn that even their two big toes were exposed.

There are even many remnant soldiers with empty hands. As a soldier, even his weapons are missing.

Equipment is scarce, and ammunition is even more scarce. Lin Feng has just counted it. Except for the twenty or so remnant soldiers he and Xu Rui brought back because they captured Japanese weapons and equipment, the rest are equipped with enough ammunition.

There are less than five bullets! Five bullets, what are they enough for? They can’t even organize a battle of the lowest intensity and smallest scale.

That's it, this isn't the worst.

The worst thing is the mental state of these remnants.

Lin Feng glanced over and found that except for the dozens of remnant soldiers who followed him and Xu Rui to break out, the other more than 400 remnant soldiers all had their heads drooped, and all of them had frustrated expressions on their faces. Obviously,

This battle in Wuxi has severely damaged the morale of the temporary 79th Division.

Such an army has absolutely no combat effectiveness at all.

Xu Rui said: "Brother Lin, if we don't solve the morale problem, we won't be able to reach Damei Mountain at all!"

"Why don't I know this?" Lin Feng sighed and said, "The problem is that without a long period of training, it is impossible to restore morale, but now we don't have the conditions for training at all."

Xu Rui said: "Who told you that long-term training is necessary to restore morale?"

"Am I wrong?" Lin Feng said in astonishment, "How can we restore morale without training?"

"Of course not, training is never the best choice to restore morale!" Xu Rui said cheerfully, "Tit for tooth, blood for blood, get up wherever you fall, and get back whatever you suffer.

This is the bloody spirit that soldiers should have, and this is the most effective way to boost morale!"

"Tooth for tooth, blood for blood?"

“Get up wherever you fall?”

"How do you get back the loss you suffered?"

Lin Feng was moved by Xu Rui's powerful words.

But after calming down, Lin Feng said again: "Brother Xu, I understand what you mean. Winning a battle is indeed the most effective way to restore morale. The problem is that we are now extremely short of weapons and ammunition. Even the lowest intensity, the smallest

If a large-scale battle cannot be organized, how can it be possible to fight tooth for tooth and blood for blood?"

"Why is it impossible?" Xu Rui said, "You haven't even tried it, so how do you know it's impossible?"

Lin Feng couldn't help but tremble when he heard this. He remembered that when he first met Xu Rui, Xu Rui proposed to gather sand into a tower and restore the command system of the temporary 79th Division. Lin Feng also said it was impossible, but Xu Rui said it was possible, and the final facts proved that

, Xu Rui was right. Although there were only more than 400 remaining soldiers gathered, the temporary 79th Division had indeed restored its command system.

Perhaps Xu Rui can really lead the remaining soldiers of the temporary 79th Division to win another battle and create another miracle!

Xu Rui said again: "Brother Lin, I still say the same thing, do you believe me? If you believe me, hand over the troops to me. I promise you that when it gets up tomorrow, I will give you a roaring tiger."

Battalion, and it is also a well-equipped unit with ample ammunition, a unit with excellent combat effectiveness!"

Lin Feng looked at Xu Rui deeply and said in a deep voice: "Okay, I believe you!"

"Then leave it to me." Xu Rui smiled, turned around and strode towards the group of remaining soldiers.

Xu Rui walked through the corridor, strode to the steps of the main entrance of the academy and stood there. Then he faced the patio and the hundreds of remaining soldiers sitting or lying in the corridors on both sides and shouted: "Get up, all get up!"

The dozens of remnant soldiers who followed Xu Rui to break out of the encirclement stood up one after another, each of them looking excited.

However, the remaining 400 or so remnants were completely indifferent. They did not recognize Xu Rui.

Xu Rui's eyes suddenly flashed with a frightening cold flame, and he shouted: "You have donkey hair stuffed in your ears, get up, all of you stand up for me!"

Finally, a few remaining soldiers stood up reluctantly.

However, more of the remaining soldiers remained indifferent.

There were even a few thornheads who went up to the bull with Xu Rui.

"Diu, where did this bad boy come from?"

"Mother Diurei, why are you shouting? Are you the only one with the loudest voice?"

"Shut up now, or I'll make you look better."

"If you dare to yell again, believe it or not, I will squeeze the yolk out of you?"

Several remnants of the soldiers turned around and shot Xu Rui fierce looks.

Lin Feng frowned and was about to come over to stop but Xu Rui stopped him with a look.

A cruel smile appeared on Xu Rui's lips. When he was an instructor in the army, he dealt with more than a hundred thorns. These remnants in front of him are different from those in later generations who have gone to the battlefield and killed people, and have excellent military skills in all subjects.

In comparison, his thorns are nothing, at least in terms of military skills, they are not at the same level at all.

Xu Rui had to take care of even those thorny ones, let alone these remnants of soldiers?

"It's quite cool." Xu Rui stepped down the steps, tilted his head slightly forward, looked down at a remnant soldier at close range, and said coldly, "I guess you think you must be something extraordinary, but I would like to ask, from Shanghai to Wuxi

,How many Japs have you killed along the way?"

The remnant also took a step forward, held his head high, and stared back at Xu Rui from a closer distance, saying, "I haven't killed many Japanese, but I'm certainly not as good as you." After a pause, the remnant held his neck and shouted sternly, "You

Listen up, from Shanghai to Wuxi, I killed eight Japs in total, eight! Eight!"

It is indeed rare for an ordinary soldier to kill eight Japanese soldiers by one person. If every soldier of the Chinese army could kill eight Japanese soldiers, the little Japanese soldiers would never even think of breaking into China. However, the reality is that

The extremely cruel and realistic situation is that one Japanese soldier can usually kill more than a dozen national soldiers.

"Eight Japs is quite a lot." Xu Rui turned around and shouted, "Big tree!"

"Yes!" Yang Dashu, who was sitting aside to rest, quickly stood up and responded loudly.

Xu Rui's eyes were like knives wedged into the eyes of the remnant soldier, and he shouted to Yang Dashu without looking back: "Tell him, just today, in Wuxi City, how many Japanese have I killed in total?"

Yang Dashu straightened his body and shouted: "Sir, today, in Wuxi City, you killed a total of twenty-eight little devils!"

"Did you hear that clearly?" Xu Rui sneered.

"This is impossible!" The remaining soldier's expression suddenly changed.

The other thornheads also looked at each other.

"I can testify that he did kill twenty-eight Japs." Lin Feng strode forward, his cold eyes passing over the thorny faces, and said, "Let me solemnly introduce to you again, this man

It’s Commander Xu, Xu Rui, a soldier king who just returned from Germany’s Brandenburg Special Forces Training Camp!”

"Sir Xu? Brandenburg Special Forces Training Camp?" The few thorny heads were all confused for a moment.

With Lin Feng, the chief of staff, testifying, these thorns naturally no longer have any suspicion.

Xu Rui stared at the remnant soldier reluctantly and shouted: "I just killed eight Japs, and they were dragged like this. I killed twenty-eight, how should I be dragged?"

The remnant soldier was so ashamed that he no longer dared to look into Xu Rui's cold eyes.

Xu Rui's eyes immediately left the remnant soldier, turned to all the remnant soldiers, and then shouted loudly: "And you, look at what you are like now, what have you done to the Japanese? A whole division, more than 6,000 people

, let the Japanese do it, and only these three or four hundred remnant soldiers are left, do you still have the nerve to drag me here?"
