After entering the mountainous area of Hunchunling, the Japs' pursuit speed dropped significantly. It was not that the Japs didn't want to go faster, but that they couldn't go fast at all. They stepped on traps, encountered minefields, and bumped into new ones.
Although the losses in the ambush formation were not very large, they disrupted the pursuit of the 228th Infantry Regiment.
After chasing for another six or seven miles, the 228th Infantry Regiment did not dare to pursue any further.
Because if you go further you will enter the deep mountains of Hunchunling. If you are surrounded by the main force of the New Regiment, it will be in trouble! You must know that the New Regiment is a formidable opponent that can compete with the First Division and even the Guards Division.
, eating their 228th Infantry Regiment is a piece of cake, not to mention they are still in the jungle.
Thinking of this, the captain of the 228th Infantry Regiment quickly issued a retreat order.
The old Japanese infantry's order was issued in time, because by this time, the battalions and companies of the new regiment that went out to rescue the people had completed their escort missions and rushed to assemble. If the 228th Japanese Infantry Regiment continued to pursue
, it will definitely be surrounded and eaten by a new group.
Although there are only more than 3,000 combat troops left in the new regiment, the combat effectiveness and preparation level are there. In the complex jungle environment, it is not difficult at all to eat up an infantry regiment of the Japanese, and it will not
It took too long, only two or three hours at best.
Therefore, the retreat of the 228th Infantry Regiment was very timely.
However, the 229th Japanese Infantry Regiment that rushed over from the other side, that is, Jingxin Town, was not so clever. After chasing them to Triangular Mountain, where the 177th Infantry Regiment was ambushed and wiped out, they still
Without stopping, he continued to go deep into the deep mountains and old forests of Hunchun Ridge.
…
On the Hunchun Ridge.
The guard platoon led by Xu Rui has merged with the work team led by Wang Husheng.
"Old Wang, the rest of the resettlement work will be left to you." Xu Rui said, "You must resettle all the people in each township and town, especially the housing problem, which must be solved."
"Don't worry." Wang Husheng nodded and continued, "I've already sent people to make a nest in the ground."
Diwozi is actually a hole in the ground. It is easier to dig a hole than to build a house, and it has better thermal insulation effect. It can be miraculous in extraordinary times. However, Chinese people are not used to living in holes in the ground. Waiting to get through this most difficult period
, these people must still build houses, even if they are thatched houses, they will be more comfortable than living in underground houses.
Xu Rui nodded, turned around and left, but after taking two steps, he suddenly turned back.
Wang Husheng asked in surprise: "Old Xu, do you have any more questions?"
Xu Rui asked: "Old Wang, where is the den you asked people to dig into?"
Wang Husheng said: "What you are asking is, of course, on the Hunchun Ridge. Where else can it be?"
"Nonsense, I know it's on the Hunchun Ridge." Xu Rui said angrily, "What I'm asking you is, was the Diwozi shot at the west or east foot of the Hunchun Ridge?"
"Old Xu, are you out of your mind? Of course the underground nest is located at the western foothills of Hunchun Ridge." Wang Husheng laughed and scolded, "It's not like you don't know that the eastern foothills of Hunchun Ridge are already the border of the Soviet Union. We will not
With the permission of the Soviet government, how could it be possible to go to other countries’ territory and build a house to live in?”
Xu Rui's eyes flashed and he said in a deep voice: "Old Wang, take the nest to the east foot of Hunchun Ridge!"
"What?!" Wang Hu said with a change of expression, "Old Xu, doing this will cause diplomatic disputes!"
"Go to hell with the diplomatic disputes!" Xu Rui said in a deep voice, "That's it, let's move the Diwozi to the east foot of Hunchun Ridge!"
"No, I can't make the decision in this matter." Wang Husheng shook his head like a rattle and said hurriedly, "Even if we really want to fight, we have to ask the Yan'an authorities for permission, otherwise something will happen!"
"My ass is already on fire, and the day lily will be cold by the time you finish asking for instructions." Xu Rui said, "Just listen to me, for the sake of the safety of the people, we will move the nest to the east foot of Hunchun Ridge!" There was a pause.
After a while, Xu Rui said again, "Old Wang, believe me, I have a hunch that this Japanese action is by no means isolated, and there will definitely be big actions next! If Diwozi is hit at the western foot of Hunchun Ridge,
When the Japs attack the border with their troops, we can still retreat to the Wujiashan Fortress, but what will the common people do? The Wujiashan Fortress cannot hold so many people!"
Wang Husheng immediately fell silent, because Xu Rui was right, if the Japs really pressed forward with their troops, the new regiment would have no other choice but to retreat to the fortress and rely on the strong Wujiashan Fortress to resist the Japs' attack. However,
The people outside are doomed. Even if they are not killed by the Japanese, they will be captured.
However, there was one question that Wang Husheng had to figure out.
At that moment, Wang Husheng asked in a deep voice: "Old Xu, do you think the Japanese will really launch a massive attack?"
"There is no doubt about this!" Xu Rui said categorically, "Even if we didn't have this idea originally, we will definitely launch a large-scale attack on Wujiashan Fortress! Because our actions ruined the plan of the old devil Yamashita Fengwen to drain the fire from under the cauldron.
The old devil will definitely take revenge if he becomes angry!"
"Okay!" Wang Husheng finally made up his mind and said, "Then I'll do as you say!"
"That's right!" Xu Rui chuckled and added, "If the Soviet border guards stop them, don't worry about them. If they dare to use violence, just arrest them!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Husheng immediately hesitated.
Wang Husheng said: "Old Xu, is this really good?"
"No problem!" Xu Rui patted Wang Husheng on the shoulder and said, "The Soviet army doesn't dare to mess around."
Wang Husheng took a group of officials from the Political Department and left worriedly, but Xu Rui didn't take this matter to heart at all, because he was extremely sure in his heart that the Soviet Far East Army would never dare to fall out with their new group at this time, so
At this time, it is a good time for their new group to take advantage of it!
What does it mean to build a few dens in the Soviet Union?
Next, Xu Rui will have a bigger action to fight the autumn wind!
Again, from the standpoint of the Soviet Union, Stalin was not wrong in betraying the New Regiment. However, from the standpoint of the New Regiment, Stalin's betrayal was unforgivable. This debt must be repaid one day.
Stalin must pay the price for his actions, there is no doubt about it!
After separating from Wang Husheng and walking not far, Xu Rui met Sweet Potato.
"Captain!" Digua breathlessly reported to Xu Rui, "The captain asked me to inform you that the 228th Japanese Infantry Regiment from Banshi Town has withdrawn, but the 228th Japanese Infantry Regiment that came from Jingxin Town has retreated.
The 229th Regiment has already passed Triangle Mountain and is less than ten miles away from Wujiashan!"
"The 228th Infantry Regiment has withdrawn? Damn it, you have a pretty sharp nose!" Xu Rui snorted, and then said, "Order all battalions and companies to immediately attack and advance in the direction of Triangular Mountain, even if they run away
We defeated the 228th Infantry Regiment, but as long as we can defeat the 229th Infantry Regiment, our busy day will not be in vain!”
Xu Rui's order was quickly conveyed.
Digua turned around to leave, but was stopped by Chiyoko Inoue: "Wait a minute."
Digua stopped and turned around, looked at Chiyoko Inoue with a smile, and asked, "Is something wrong?"
Chiyoko Inoue frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Wu, are you okay?"
"Mai Asahina?" Digua said suddenly, "She is very well now. She must not be taken care of too well."
Chiyoko Inoue naturally didn't believe what Di Gua said and said, "If you dare to bully her, I will never let you go!"
Digua just smiled when he heard this, turned around and walked away. He didn't take Chiyoko Inoue's threat to heart at all. He wanted to deal with his father Gua? He should first ask the leader if he would agree.
Xu Rui never interfered in the conversation between the two.
In fact, Xu Rui didn't know what Digua was doing to Asahina Mai before, but he didn't join in to stop it because he didn't think there was anything wrong with doing so. Digua was not like him. He was already married, but
Digua is not married yet, so there is no problem in having a few more girlfriends.
As a man, is it wrong to have a few more girlfriends before getting married?
From beginning to end, Xu Rui's views on love and marriage have not changed.
Not far away, Xu Rui heard the faint sound of gunfire, but it was a small unit of the new regiment and the outpost unit of the 229th Infantry Regiment.
…
The 229th Infantry Regiment really took the bull by the horns.
In other words, Yamagata Meng, the captain of the 229th Infantry Regiment, was really brave this time. With only a mere regiment of troops, he dared to march straight into the Wujiashan Fortress.
Speaking of which, Yamagata Takeshi also wanted to grab the battle glory.
In fact, after learning that the main force of the new regiment had been divided into troops to rescue the people in various towns and villages in Hunchun County, Yamagata Meng had already had the idea of taking advantage of the opportunity to attack and recapture the Wujiashan Fortress. Yamagata Meng's logic can be said to be without problem.
The main force of the new group has already moved out, and the Wujiashan Fortress will inevitably be left empty.
Attacking Wujiashan Fortress at this time has a very high chance of success!
However, Yamagata Meng did not dare to attack without authorization from the division headquarters.
Yamagata Takeshi originally thought that he would miss this opportunity in vain, but at this moment, the division headquarters issued an order for them to hunt down the civilians. After receiving the order, Yamagata Takeshi was overjoyed and immediately led the main force of the 229th Infantry Regiment.
Marching straight towards Wujiashan, in his opinion, what is the point of chasing down the people? Taking advantage of the opportunity to seize the Wujiashan fortress is serious!
However, Yamagata fiercely underestimated the speed of the New Regiment. By the time the 229th Infantry Regiment arrived at Wujiashan, the main force of the New Regiment had not only completed the task of rescuing the people, but also rushed back. As a result, the infantry
The 229th Regiment immediately turned into a trap!
