"Going to Changbai Mountain to fight guerrillas?" Asaburo Kobayashi asked in surprise, "Why do you think so, Commander?"
Yamashita Fengwen's eyes were always fixed on the map. After hearing this, he asked: "Why, Mr. Xiaolin thinks it is impossible for Xu Rui's troops to go to Changbai Mountain to fight guerrillas?"
"Of course." Kobayashi Asaburo said without thinking, "Xu Rui's troops are different from other Tubal troops. His troops not only have armored troops, but also aviation troops. Although the scale is not very large, the combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated.
, and if he goes to fight guerrillas in Changbai Mountain, he must abandon his armored forces and aviation units. Is this possible?"
"Nothing is impossible!" Yamashita Fengwen said, "I bet Xu Rui will take his troops to fight guerrillas in the Changbai Mountains this time!"
Asaburo Kobayashi frowned and asked, "Commander, are you really so sure?"
"Yes, I'm sure!" Yamashita Fengwen said, "Because at this time, Xu Rui must have received the telegram that our Far Eastern Army's Western Route Army was approaching Baotou City. With Xu Rui's vision and wisdom,
You must understand that the fall of Baotou is inevitable. This means that his armored forces and aviation units are like trees without roots and water without a source. They will just wait for the fuel carried by the army to be consumed and they will immediately become decorations.
!In the end, you can only throw it away or blow it up!”
After a pause, Yamashita Fengwen continued: "So, whether the armored forces and aviation units can be preserved will never be a reference for Xu Rui in formulating tactics! When he formulates troop tactics, the only reference factor can only be, how
Doing what is most beneficial to China’s war of resistance! Not anything else!”
Kobayashi Asaburo asked: "What can Xu Rui do that is most beneficial to China?"
Yamashita Fengwen pointed to the map and said: "Obviously, it is more conducive to China's war of resistance if Xu Rui's troops stay in the Changbai Mountains to persist in guerrilla warfare than to withdraw into the customs! Because geographically, Changbai Mountain is located in the center of North Korea, Manchuria and the Far East.
Having such an elite resistance force here is like a thorn in the back of the empire! Whether it is North Korea, Manchuria or the Far East that the imperial army has just occupied, I am afraid that they will not be able to develop industry with peace of mind! This will greatly weaken the empire.
War potential!"
After a pause, Yamashita Fengwen continued: "Another point is that Changbai Mountain is backed by Vladivostok, so it is easy to obtain assistance from the Soviet Union."
"Soviet Union?" Kobayashi Asaburo said disapprovingly, "This time Xu Rui was sold to the Soviets and his body was completely damaged. Will he still cooperate with the Soviet Union? The Soviet Union will probably not contact him again, right?"
"If you think so, Mr. Kobayashi, you are totally wrong." Yamashita Fengwen said, "The new British Prime Minister Churchill who just took office once said that there are no permanent friends and no permanent enemies in this world, but only
Forever interests! Although Xu Rui was sold this time, he will still cooperate with the Soviet Union for China's national interests."
After a pause, Yamashita Fengwen continued: "As for the Soviet Union, although they have signed a non-aggression treaty with the Empire and are unwilling to go to war with the Empire again, this does not mean that they will not do something behind the scenes.
It’s a small move, so the possibility of cooperating with Xu Rui again through Vladivostok is very high!”
Kobayashi Asaburo said solemnly: "In this case, we really have to be on guard!"
"It's a pity." Yamashita Fengwen said with regret, "The Kwantung Army's troops have almost been deployed, and there is almost no defense between Fengtian and Changbai Mountain. Otherwise, we can take this opportunity to ambush them!
Xu Rui is best at ambushing others, I really want him to have a taste of being ambushed."
Kobayashi Asaburo said: "I'm afraid it's impossible to ambush, but there is still a chance to intercept."
"Yes, there is still a chance for interception." Yamashita Fengwen nodded and said, "Order the 120th Division stationed in North Korea to go north immediately, and be sure to seize Tonghua, Baishan and other areas before Xu Rui's troops arrive.
The line along the river blocks Xu Rui's troops' passage eastward into the Changbai Mountains."
Asaburo Kobayashi paused heavily and said: "Hai!"
"In addition." Yamashita Fengwen tapped the map with his finger, and then continued, "The march speed of the Eastern Route Army of our Far Eastern Front Army will also be accelerated. Even if the 120th Division in North Korea seizes the Tonghua line, I am afraid it will not be able to block the Tonghua line.
If Xu Rui's troops cannot be held, they will only be delayed for three to five days at most, so the main force of the East Route Army must speed up its move southward."
"Hai!" Asaburo Kobayashi nodded heavily and turned to leave.
"Kobayashi-kun, please wait a moment." Yamashita Fengwen called out to Kobayashi Asaburo again, and after pondering for a while, he said, "I heard that Miss Inoue is in Xinjing. Please go to the Kwantung Army headquarters in person and ask her to come.
"Let's go." After a pause, he added, "Miss Inoue and her special operations team should also play their role."
"Hai!" Asaburo Kobayashi paused again.
…
In Fengtian, Xu Rui's regiment headquarters.
When Leng Tiefeng walked into the office, he found that Xu Rui had taken down the huge map hanging on the wall and was folding the sweet potatoes and Zhuoligetu. This big map was left by the little devil. This is a good thing.
, has extremely detailed and accurate markings on the maps of the three eastern provinces, even villages as small as three households are marked on the map.
Seeing Leng Tiefeng come in, Xu Rui asked: "Veteran, how is Li Dan's recovery?"
"Counsel Mingzhi." Leng Tiefeng said angrily, "The period of weakness has not passed yet."
It can be heard from the tone of his words that Leng Tiefeng now has a big opinion against Xu Rui. As for the reason, it is because Xu Rui does not allow the Langya team to go to Xinjing to compete with the Inoue team.
"Are you still angry?" Xu Rui said in amusement, "You really want to fight Chiyoko Inoue?"
Leng Tiefeng said: "I don't want to fight Chiyoko Inoue, but to eliminate hidden dangers! You see, during our transfer this time, the Inoue Brigade poses the greatest threat! Especially after entering the deep mountains and old forests of Changbai Mountain, the Inoue Brigade's
The threat is even greater, as long as they are around, it will be difficult for us to truly get rid of the enemy's pursuit."
"You're right." Xu Rui nodded and said, "Inoue Brigade is indeed a huge hidden danger!"
Leng Tiefeng's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and he said excitedly: "Old Xu, so you agree with our attack?"
"When did I object to our Langya team's attack?" Xu Rui snorted, "I just objected to your going to Xinjing, because going to Xinjing is an away game, which is seriously detrimental to our Langya!"
Leng Tiefeng frowned and said, "But the Inoue Brigade is in Xinjing."
Xu Rui waved his hand and said: "I have an intuition that the Inoue Brigade is likely to go to Tonghua in advance!"
"Will the Inoue Brigade go to Tonghua?" Leng Tiefeng reacted quickly and figured out the key in one moment. He said in a deep voice, "Old Xu, you are saying that the old Japanese soldier Yamashita Fengwen might have seen through our intentions, so he decided to do it in advance.
Send the Inoue Brigade to Tonghua, deploy in advance, and slow down our march as much as possible, so as to gain time for its main force to pursue?"
"The possibility is very high!" Xu Rui said solemnly, "So, we have to rush to Tonghua in advance to make arrangements!"
"Us?" Leng Tiefeng's eyes narrowed and he said in a deep voice, "Old Xu, what do you mean by that? You want to go too?"
"That's right, I'm with you, because except for me, no one is the opponent of Chiyoko Inoue!" Xu Rui nodded, and said before Leng Tiefeng could speak, "Veteran, don't deny it. Last time I went to Xinjiang
Jing, you almost fell into the hands of this bitch, I won't let you take the risk again this time."
Leng Tiefeng immediately shut his mouth and said nothing more.
What else is there to say? Facts speak louder than words. The last time he fought against Inoue Chiyoko, he lost, and he lost without temper. The gap between him and Inoue Chiyoko can be said to be all-round, regardless of reaction.
In terms of speed and strength, he was at a disadvantage, especially in terms of speed, where the gap was the biggest!
Xu Rui said again: "Veteran, go and assemble the troops now. Originally, I wanted to take Li Dan with me, but since he has not fully recovered, I will not take him with me and let him go with the big troops."
"Okay." Leng Tiefeng nodded, turned and left the office.
However, as soon as Leng Tiefeng walked away, He Shuya walked in behind.
"Captain!" He Shuya was not as casual with Xu Rui as Leng Tiefeng. After entering, he immediately stood up at attention and then respectfully saluted Xu Rui with a military salute. No matter what, Xu Rui is the division commander!
Xu Rui returned the military salute and said: "Shu Ya, among the battalion commanders of the Independent Regiment, you are the best in terms of commanding on the battlefield, grasping the battle situation, and capturing fighter planes, and there is no one else. For this, you are the best."
I never shy away from speaking out! I’m not afraid of you being proud after I say it, because you do have the capital to be proud!”
He Shuya hurriedly said: "Captain, you are exaggerating."
"I'm not exaggerating, what I said is the truth." Xu Rui waved his hand and continued, "But there is a proverb in the West, with greater ability comes greater responsibility. You are the best among the dozen battalion commanders of the Independent Regiment.
So, I can only leave this arduous task to you. After I leave, the independent regiment will be under your full command!"
"Captain?" He Shuya's eyes narrowed upon hearing this and asked, "You want to leave?"
"It's just temporary." Xu Rui waved his hand and said, "Go on a mission with the Langya Brigade."
He Shuya breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. It was just temporary, so there was no problem. If Xu Rui left here and never returned, it would be a huge test for He Shuya and the entire independent group.
Xu Rui continued: "But, Shuya, you don't have to worry too much. Although the forward troops of the Japanese Far East Army have arrived in Harbin, they are still more than 500 kilometers away from Fengtian, so they won't catch up so quickly.
, even if we catch up, it will only be a small force, you can definitely handle it, right?"
