Two old devils, Hitoshi Yagyu and Taro Aso, discussed how to deal with Xu Rui. Taro Aso said: "Kun Ikeda, immediately order Colonel Fukuhara to withdraw all the troops around Harbin and abandon the defense of Hulan, Suihua and other places.
Defend Harbin!"
"Hai!" Chief of Staff Ikeda responded.
"Yagyu-kun, it seems we need to work harder and get to Harbin as soon as possible. I have an idea."
"What do you think?" Hitoshi Yagyu asked.
"I want to gather all the military vehicles of the two divisions to form a rapid assault force, leave aside the large groups of people, and pursue them in the direction of Harbin. I don't believe that our car wheels can't outrun Xu Rui's feet!
"
Hitoshi Yagyu's eyes lit up and he said: "A good idea is to gather all the cars and motorcycles of the two divisions together to form a motorized force. This can indeed greatly increase the speed of travel."
"Two generals, I hope to be the chief officer of this motorized force and lead them to eliminate Xu Rui." Yagyu's chief of staff, Colonel Shiratori Fushi, said.
"Okay, Shiratori-kun, I'll leave everything to you!" Yagyu and Aso said one after another.
"Hai, I am willing to share the worries of His Majesty the Emperor!"
An hour later, more than 300 vehicles and more than 30 motorcycles from the 32nd and 37th Divisions, carrying 6,000 Japanese troops, swooped in the direction of Harbin under the leadership of Colonel Shiratori Fu...
…
Xu Rui was heading towards Suihua. However, with the arrival of a telegram, Xu Rui became a little uneasy.
The telegram was sent by Zhao Yaxin, the liaison officer of the Manchuria Provincial Committee in Harbin. The main message was that a large number of Japanese soldiers suddenly appeared in Harbin, numbering in the thousands, and their origins were unknown.
Xu Rui was shocked. According to previous intelligence, there was only one 37th Division stationed near Harbin. Now that the main force of the 37th Division has arrived near Tangyuan, there should be only a few left-behind personnel from the division in Harbin. Why did it increase so much all of a sudden?
The devils, where did these devils come from?
Xu Rui opened the map and studied it carefully. After a while, Xu Rui said: "I understand."
"Captain, what's going on?" Several independent battalion commanders looked at Xu Rui.
Xu Rui said: "The extra soldiers in Harbin should be transferred back from surrounding areas."
"Oh? Could it be that he was transferred from Jilin?" Niu Laohei asked.
Xu Rui said: "Probably not. It is impossible for the Japs from Jilin to enter Harbin so quickly. The Japs who suddenly appeared in Harbin must have been transferred from the surrounding areas."
"Commander, by doing this, aren't the Japanese abandoning surrounding areas? For example, Suihua, our army can capture it directly," Xue Daba said, slapping his hands.
Xu Rui said: "What the Japs want is for us to occupy the cities of Suihua and Hulan. In this way, we can slow down the speed of our army's actions. Firstly, it is conducive to the deployment of Harbin Japs' defenses. Secondly, it is conducive to the main Japs pursuit behind them.
As a result, the Japanese have gathered a large number of troops in Harbin, and if our army cannot capture Harbin in a short time, it will inevitably fall into the unfavorable situation of being attacked from both sides. This move by the Japanese is actually a good move."
"Captain, what should we do?" Niu Laohei said.
Xu Rui said: "Now it seems that we have to give up the plan to attack Harbin."
"What? Give up the attack on Harbin? Then our trip is not in vain?" Everyone said in confusion.
Xu Rui said: "We gave up attacking Harbin for a larger goal."
A bigger goal? Everyone looked at Xu Rui with confused eyes, wondering what the bigger goal Xu Rui was talking about.
Xu Rui pointed on the map and said: "Our next target is here!"
Everyone looked at the map and saw a place name - Xinjing written clearly where Xu Rui was pointing.
"Oh my God, Commander, you actually want to attack Xinjing. That is where the capital of Manchukuo is located. The Japanese are in the center of the entire Northeast. If they really capture Xingjing, the sky in Northeast China will change!"
After hearing Xu Rui's plan, everyone looked at each other. Xinjing is now a first-class city in Asia, and the city is extremely wealthy. It is said that even the floor tiles of Fu Yi's palace are paved with gold. Xinjing is too important, and it is surrounded by Japanese and Japanese soldiers.
The puppet army wants to attack Xinjing with the five or six thousand new soldiers in hand, but Xu Rui is too courageous. If he really captures Xinjing, he will destroy the whole world.
"How about we go to Xinjing for a walk and rob the Manchukuo and Japanese treasury." Xu Rui said with a smile.
After listening to Xu Rui's words, these independent battalion commanders with reckless backgrounds were all excited. If they really captured Xinjing, they would make a fortune. You know, Manchukuo's savings over the years, as well as the Japanese's
Most of the treasury of foreign banks are in Xinjing. By capturing Xinjing, everyone can make a fortune, which is a fatal temptation for them.
The current independent camps, because they have just been reorganized, do not carry out any ideological education. They just rely on national justice to bring everyone together. National justice is effective for some people with high ideological consciousness, but for some people
The effect is less obvious for people with low ideological awareness. Xu Rui has been keenly aware that some people have been shaken in military morale during the high-intensity marching operations. But now, Xinjing is a huge cake, and everyone is reluctant to give up sharing the cake.
Opportunities, such huge benefits can completely tie everyone to their own chariot.
"Damn it, do it! Capturing Xinjing is much better than capturing Harbin." Niu Laohei said.
"If we really capture Xinjing and see the colorful world, my life will not be in vain." Zhang Laowen was no longer wilting at this time, his eyes were red with excitement."
"Commander, we are determined to follow you in this battle!" Liu Xiaowei'er, commander of the Sixth Battalion, said.
Xu Rui glanced at Liu Xiaobian. Liu Xiaobian was a typical person who was not firm in his stance. He initially joined the anti-Japanese army just to fish in troubled waters. After being recruited by him, he always wanted to lead the troops to work alone. He was afraid of hardship and fear of the enemy.
Xu Rui originally wanted to hoe him, but he was afraid that everyone in the army would be in danger because of this. In addition, Liu Xiaobian'er did not make any big mistakes, so he did not take action. Now seeing that Liu Xiaobian'er was so actively supporting the attack on Xinjing, Xu Rui
Rui knew that he had aroused everyone's enthusiasm.
Xu Rui said: "Although Xinjing has an iron wall on the surface, in my opinion, it is just a paper tiger. As long as we work harder, we will definitely be able to conquer Xinjing."
Niu Laohei said: "Commander, just keep talking to us."
Xu Rui said: "The Japanese have been operating Xinjing for many years. There were indeed many troops stationed near Xinjing. However, in the past two years, because the situation in Northeast China has been relatively stable, the troops near Xinjing have been gradually transferred away and stationed in the same area as the Soviet Union.
On the border of the Far East. Most of the remaining Japanese troops were recruited by Fengwen Yamashita to attack the Primorsky Krai. Therefore, there are actually not many troops stationed in Xinjing now. They are mainly puppet troops. According to us
Judging from the information we have, there are only two Japanese infantry regiments and one artillery regiment near Xinjing, with a total strength of only about 10,000 people. Even if puppet troops and police are included, the total strength is about 20,000 people."
"Twenty thousand people are not something we can defeat." Everyone was a little discouraged upon hearing this.
Xu Rui said: "On the surface, the enemy has strong troops in this area, but in fact, these troops are not all stationed in Xinjing, most of them are stationed around Xinjing. Therefore, as long as we act quickly and deploy properly,
, it is very possible to capture the city before the Japanese around Xinjing react."
When everyone heard this, they became energetic again, and Liu Xiaowei'er said: "Commander, we will do whatever you say. It is best to capture the Emperor of Manchukuo Puyi alive and destroy the majesty of the Japanese devils."
"Wait, what did you just say?" Xu Rui's eyes lit up.
"I said that I finally captured the Emperor of Manchukuo, Puyi alive..."
"Hehe... You little Liu braid, you really dare to think about it, but you gave me a new inspiration."
"Captain, what are you thinking of?" Liu Xiaobianer asked.
"You will know when the time comes. In short, we are going to have a big time attacking Xinjing this time. Artu, you call Andakov immediately and ask him to attack Mudanjiang to distract the Japanese. Jin Daohan, call him immediately
The old soldier called and asked him to find a way to catch up with us and meet us near Xinjing."
"yes!"
"yes!"
Zhuo Ligetu and Jin Daohan immediately asked the radio operator to send the report.
Xu Rui said: "If all the Japs nearby gathered in Harbin, then Suihua City should be an empty city without Japs defense. The whole army immediately entered the city and found all the cars, motorcycles, and horses in the city for me.
I want to attack Harbin in the shortest possible time!"
"Captain, don't you want to attack Xinjing? Why are you thinking of Harbin again?" Niu Laohei asked.
Xu Rui said: "Because we want to attack Xinjing, we have to attack Harbin first to prevent the Japs from Harbin from coming out, and then transfer the Japs from Xinjing to Harbin, so that we can attack Xinjing with confidence."
"Oh, so that's it." Everyone suddenly realized.
"Why are you still standing there, looking for transportation for me?" Xu Rui said.
"yes!"
Only then did everyone calm down and lead their teams into Suihua City.
The situation was exactly as Xu Rui thought. The entire Suihua City was an empty city. Xu Rui's troops occupied Suihua without encountering any obstacles. However, Suihua City was small and the army tried their best to collect for two hours, but only collected four.
, fifty cars, a dozen motorcycles, and hundreds of horses.
This disappointed Xu Rui. This little means of transportation was only enough to transport one battalion.
Fortunately, Xu Rui still has three to four thousand of the tens of thousands of war horses he obtained at the Fuyuan Army Racecourse. Together with these cars and motorcycles, he can barely carry all five thousand people.
At that moment, Xu Rui led the troops towards Harbin at full speed. At this moment, Andakov received Xu Rui's order and launched an attack on Mudanjiang. For a time, from Harbin to Mudanjiang and then to Jiamusi, there was a rumbling sound, and the entire Northeast
The East was completely turned into a pot of porridge by Xu Rui...
