When Savushkin heard that Xu Rui had taken a fancy to his guard regiment, he was a little reluctant. Cherev on the side said: "Comrade Savushkin, as long as you can keep Primorsky Krai, let alone your guard regiment.
Even if we both go to battle to kill the enemy, what's wrong? Don't forget, Comrade Stalin is always paying attention to the war here."
Savushkin couldn't help but tremble when he heard Stalin's name. He was really going to lose Primorsky Krai. With Stalin's character, he couldn't shoot himself.
Thinking of this, Savushkin raised his head, looked at Xu Rui with a serious face and said: "Comrade Xu Rui, as long as we can win, you can even ask me to follow you to the battlefield. You can take away the guard regiment."
"Okay, I need to strengthen the firepower allocation for the guard regiment, especially the rocket launchers. I need fifty of them and the matching ammunition." Xu Rui said.
Savushkin said: "No problem."
Cherev asked Xu Rui: "Comrade Xu Rui, when will you set off?"
Xu Rui said: "Now that the Japanese troops are approaching the border, we must buy time. I will give you three hours to assemble the team and equip them with weapons."
"Okay, Comrade Andakov, assemble the team immediately!" Savushkin said to a tall middle-aged man.
"yes……"
Five days later, in the Sino-Russian border area, near Khabarovsk.
After marching, Xu Rui led Andakov's guard regiment and Lang Ya to bypass the Japanese and arrived in a jungle not far from Khabarovsk.
Khabarovsk, also known as Khabarovsk, was the fourth largest city in the former Tsarist Russia and the second largest city in the Far East of the Soviet Union after Vladivostok.
Khabarovsk was an important town on the northeastern frontier during the Qing Dynasty. After the Sino-Russian Treaty of Beijing in 1860, it was occupied by Tsarist Russia and renamed Khabarovsk.
After the Japanese occupied the Far East of the Soviet Union, Khabarovsk became a fulcrum for the Soviet Union to control the Far East. Most of the Japanese Far Eastern Front troops attacking Primorsky Krai set out from Khabarovsk.
Andakov said to Xu Rui: "Comrade Xu Rui, if we capture Khabarovsk, we will cut off the Japanese Far Eastern Front Army's retreat, and we will definitely be able to defeat the Japanese Far Eastern Front Army."
Xu Rui said disapprovingly: "The Japanese Far Eastern Front has 500,000 troops in Primorsky Krai. As long as they come back with all their strength, we only have one regiment of troops and cannot hold on in Khabarovsk. Our main task now is to kill them."
The airfield in Khabarovsk will help Savushkin gain air supremacy over Primorye Krai, and then capture the city of Khabarovsk, buying us enough time for our next move."
At that moment, Xu Rui decided to split his troops into two groups. Leng Tiefeng led Langya to attack the airport on the outskirts of Khabarovsk, while he and Andakov led the guard regiment to attack Khabarovsk.
At this time, the city of Khabarovsk was completely transformed into a large military camp. There were tens of thousands of Japanese troops left behind everywhere inside and outside the city.
Xu Rui originally wanted to capture the city of Khabarovsk, but when he saw that there were too many Japs, it was impossible for the more than 1,000 people in the guard group to capture Khabarovsk. So Xu Rui changed his mind and decided to abandon Khabarovsk and head towards the northeast.
March far away.
Fortunately, Leng Tiefeng led Lang Ya to complete the task brilliantly and blew up the Khabarovsk Airfield. As a result, the Japanese army lost the forward airport and could no longer take off to support the Japanese army in the Primorsky Territory. The Soviet army
Morale was greatly boosted, and Savushkin came to the front line to take command. The three armies worked hard and finally temporarily blocked the Japanese attack.
After Xu Rui met Leng Tiefeng, he set out from near Khabarovsk and crossed the river overnight to the vicinity of Fuyuan Town in the northeast.
In the dead of night, Xu Rui led the guard regiment and Lang Ya were resting in the jungle near Fuyuan Town. Digua said: "Captain, ahead is Fuyuan Town. This used to be the border between China and the Soviet Union. China has stationed a large number of people here.
soldiers. Later, when the Japanese occupied the Far East, this place was abandoned. You see, the island in the middle of the river is called Heixiazi Island. It was originally Chinese territory. Later, Zhang Xueliang went to war with the Soviets and was occupied by the Soviets after their defeat.
, and later the Japanese occupied the Far East, which has now become Japanese territory. The Japanese have a small team on Heixiazi Island, but it is used to control the surrounding Chinese."
"The Japanese have no troops stationed in Fuyuan Town. It is very empty now, and the checkpoints on the border have been abandoned," Digua said.
Xu Rui said: "Veteran, immediately take a boat to Heixiazi Island and eliminate the Japanese on the island. Andakov, you immediately take people into Fuyuan Town."
Andakov looked stern and said: "Comrade Xu Rui, I will take people into Fuyuan Town right now, but we are Soviets. I am afraid that the residents of Fuyuan Town will not cooperate. I need a few Chinese comrades to go with me."
Fuyuan Town cooperates with my work."
Xu Rui said: "Diyang, take a team over and enter Fuyuan Town to cooperate with Andakov's work."
When Digua heard this, he couldn't help grinning and said: "Captain, I want to go to Heixiazi Island to fight the Japanese with real swords and guns."
Xu Rui said: "Sweet potato, where did you come up with so many words? If you are asked to go, go and pick three or four and go back to Wujiashan for me."
When Di Gua heard Xu Rui's words, he said with a grimace: "Commander, no, why don't I go?"
Xu Rui kicked Sweet Potato's butt and said, "Get out of here right now!"
At that moment, Xu Rui and Andakov led the guard regiment into Fuyuan Town.
Fuyuan Town is a small town with less than 10,000 people in total. However, it is already the largest town within hundreds of miles. The eastern part of the Northeast is vast and sparsely populated. You can often go dozens of kilometers without encountering a single person.
Village, in this case, the strategic position of Fuyuan Town in the eastern part of Northeast China is very important.
Upon entering Fuyuan Town, Xu Rui saw that although the sun had just set, every door in Fuyuan Town was closed, and it was difficult to see people on the streets. Obviously, the arrival of the Soviet army frightened the residents of Fuyuan Town.
.
Andakov came to Xu Rui with a frown on his face and said: "Comrade Xu Rui, we have searched all over Fuyuan Town, but no one is willing to help us."
Xu Rui thought for a while and said, "Let's go to the largest restaurant in the center of Fuyuan Town."
Andakov asked: "Comrade Xu Rui, are you hungry?"
Xu Rui said: "I'm not hungry. The restaurant is a place where three religions and nine streams meet. The information here is the best, and the boss is very familiar with the residents. With him helping us with our work, he should be able to help us establish a foothold in Fuyuan Town."
.”
After Xu Rui finished speaking, he took Andakov, Digua and others to the center of Fuyuan Town.
In the center of Fuyuan Town, Xinglong Hotel, it had just darkened, but the door of Xinglong Hotel was closed.
Xu Rui came to the door of Xinglong Hotel and saw a vermilion couplet written on both sides of the door. The first couplet said: Smilingly welcoming guests from all directions to make money, and the second couplet said: Entering the hotel means that guests will leave happily.
The black characters on a red background are vigorous and powerful, and you can tell at a glance that it was written by an old scholar.
Digua knocked on the door and shouted: "Boss, open the door!"
However, after the sweet potato screamed for a long time, there was silence inside the door and no one came out.
Digua shouted: "If you don't come out, I will blow up your house."
"Creak..."
The vermilion door opened, and a sixty-year-old man wearing a green shirt, mandarin jacket, melon cap, and black-rimmed glasses came out.
The old man bent over, with a respectful look on his face, and said to Sweet Potato with a smile: "Master, what can I do?"
Digua said: "You old man, I knocked on the door for so long and you didn't open it. When I said I was going to blow up your store, you ran out."
The old man said: "Your Majesty, you don't know. Our Fuyuan town has been suffering from military disasters in recent years. Whenever an army comes over, the people will be harmed again. The beards come down from the mountains to harm the people from time to time, so the people are really afraid."
"
Xu Rui came over from behind and said: "Uncle, don't be afraid. We are the New Anti-Union Regiment, the Chinese team."
"Are you a new group of the Anti-Japanese Alliance?" The old man's eyes showed joy.
"Why, have you heard of the New Anti-Union Regiment?" Xu Rui asked.
"Of course I know. Although our town of Fuyuan is far away from the central city, we are still very well-informed. I have a radio at home and can listen to many radio programs. The name of the New Anti-Union Regiment is very popular. How many of you are in Wujiashan?
The Japanese were hit hard this time, which really boosted the ambition of the Chinese people. We people in Fuyuan Town admire you very much, but isn't your new anti-league regiment in Wujiashan in Hunchun? How did you get back to our remote Fuyuan Town?
"
Xu Rui said: "I am Xu Rui, the leader of the New Anti-Japanese Regiment. We came to Fuyuan to fight the Japanese."
The old man was very excited and said: "To be honest, the old man was originally the magistrate of Qinghe County. His name was Zhao Xihan. He once followed General Li Du to fight the Japanese. After the defeat, he came to Fuyuan County and opened this place incognito.
A small shop is just to avoid disaster. In the past ten years, I have been thinking about regaining the country and rejuvenating China. Unfortunately, in ten years, all I have seen is that the rule of the little devils in the Northeast is becoming more and more consolidated. The restoration of the Northeast is becoming more and more important.
There is no time in sight, the Volunteer Army has failed, the Anti-Japanese Alliance has failed, and even the mountain forest team has been almost wiped out by the Japanese devils. Until the emergence of a new anti-Japanese regiment, I see hope. After all, I am a Chinese who is not decadent, just like Captain Xu.
A heroic figure, sooner or later, he will be able to drive out the Japanese pirates and return our land and rivers."
Zhao Xihan continued: "Captain Xu, if there is anything you need me to do, just ask me. I will do my best."
Xu Rui asked: "Uncle Zhao, how many Japs are there from here to Jiamusi and where are they stationed? Tell me as much as you know."
Zhao Xihan said: "The Japanese used to have many troops stationed here, but recently they have all been transferred..."
