After receiving the order from his superiors, Xu Rui knew that the general trend was irreversible and he had to go to the Pacific battlefield, so he summoned the main leaders of the New Anti-Union Regiment to discuss the next action plan.
Since it was an order from a superior, everyone had nothing to say. Gao Chu and Wang Husheng took the lead in speaking out, and everyone expressed their obedience to the superior's decision.
In the current Wujiashan base area, after several battles, there are only 5,000 troops left. If Xu Rui takes away another regiment of troops, there will be a serious shortage of troops. So Xu Rui, Wang Husheng, Leng Tiefeng and others
Several major leaders decided to expand the army after discussion.
There are two ways to expand the army. Due to successive wars, the four counties of Hunchun, Yanji, Tumen, and Wangqing near Wujiashan were occupied by the Japanese. People who supported the Anti-Union in these four counties came to settle in the Wujiashan base one after another.
Xu Rui and Wang Husheng had already selected young men from among these people to form a militia. Now, they easily integrated these militiamen into the regular army and received a total of two thousand recruits.
At the same time, Wang Husheng sent a large number of work teams to some towns in the four counties to conduct recruitment propaganda, and recruited another thousand recruits. As a result, Wujiashan's total military strength expanded to about 8,000 people. Including five infantry battalions,
Four cavalry battalions and one armored assault battalion, totaling ten battalions.
Xu Rui decided to keep the most powerful armored assault battalion and the four cavalry battalions, and only took away three of the five infantry battalions. However, these three battalions are the absolute main force, namely the first battalion and the second battalion.
And the third battalion, the first battalion commander He Shuya, He Shuya is Xu Rui's apprentice, the first battalion also has the strongest combat effectiveness, the second battalion commander Huang Shouxin, and the third battalion commander Gao Chu are all warriors who have experienced hundreds of battles.
Fighting from the Dameishan base area to Wujiashan, from inside the pass to outside the pass, and following Xu Rui, Xu Rui decided to take away the three most powerful infantry battalions and leave the rest of the troops in the Wujiashan base area.
In addition to these three infantry battalions, Xu Rui decided to take away most of the Langya Brigade, leaving the remaining small part in Wujiashan. Chiyoko Inoue and Mai Asahina, two Japanese, Xu Rui, were sent to Yan'an through a secret route.
, let them join the anti-war alliance and undergo anti-war re-education in Yan'an.
Leng Tiefeng must follow Xu Rui. Li Dan and Wang Husheng stayed at the Wujiashan base area. Digua, Ergazi and others followed Xu Rui. The remaining people were unified under the command of Wang Husheng. As for Jiangnan and other new anti-alliance forces,
Xu Rui asked them to go to Yan'an through a secret transportation line with Chiyoko Inoue and others, so that Xu Rui could fight outside with peace of mind.
The time has entered December, the goose-feather heavy snow is falling one after another, and the entire Northeast has completely entered a long winter. After some preparations, Xu Rui has done everything before the expedition. Xu Rui does not know that this time he will leave Wuhan.
After Jiashan, could he come back again? Before leaving, Xu Rui wanted to take another look at the soldiers and the Wujiashan base area that he had fought for for several years.
The cold wind howled, Xu Rui wore a cotton-padded jacket and led Jiangnan to patrol Wujiashan. Everything here is soaked in Xu Rui's hard work.
Xu Rui was the first to arrive at the armored assault battalion. Looking at the dozens of tanks and hundreds of cars, Xu Rui felt warm in his heart. Xu Rui knew that the combat effectiveness of the armored assault battalion he had built could definitely be achieved by force.
A regiment, or even a brigade, of Shaking the Devils has great power in the field. This is also the unit that I am most proud of. Now that I am about to leave, I really feel a sense of reluctance in my heart.
Xu Rui banged the T34 tank hard twice, let out a sigh, turned his head and was about to leave. At this time, Xu Rui saw that in the distance, thousands of soldiers from the armored assault battalion were lined up and walking towards him.
Come.
The crowd stopped, and Lin Wei, the new commander of the Armored Assault Battalion, gave Xu Rui a military salute and shouted loudly: "Commander Lin Wei of the Armored Assault Battalion led all the battalion soldiers to salute the regiment commander!"
"salute!"
Lin Wei roared, and in the wind and snow, thousands of soldiers from the entire armored assault battalion saluted Xu Rui at the same time.
Xu Rui saw these young warriors standing in the wind and snow. Their bodies and hats were covered with white snow. Many of them even had their nostrils turned white. However, these warriors did not seem to notice at all.
Standing quietly like this, saying goodbye to Xu Rui in his own way.
At this moment, Xu Rui felt a warm current surge in his chest. What lovely soldiers, they used their shoulders to support the war of resistance. The hope of China's future lies in them!
Jiang Nan was also very moved and pulled Xu Rui's lapel. Xu Rui also raised his right arm and gave a solemn military salute to all the commanders and fighters of the armored assault battalion.
In the next two days, Xu Rui visited various units. Everywhere he went, the soldiers expressed their respect and reluctance to Xu Rui in their own way.
The day of separation finally arrived. Xu Rui led three infantry battalions and Langya, a total of three thousand soldiers stood at the pass of Wujiashan. Xu Rui turned around and looked into the mountain. Wang Husheng, Jiang Nan, Li Dan and others were standing in the distance.
, watching his troops leave, that scene was really poignant.
"Old Xu, it's easy to go." Although this situation had happened several times, Wang Husheng still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart and said quietly.
Xu Rui gritted his teeth and said loudly: "What the hell? It's like we are parting from life and death. I'm just going to the Pacific to fight the Japanese. I'll come back to see you after I finish the war!"
"Who am I talking about? That's right! Ergazi, it's you. Sing "Little New Year's Greetings" to me. I want to leave happily!"
"yes!"
Ergazi cleared his throat and sang loudly: "It's the New Year in the first month..."
"Sing for me!" Xu Rui shouted.
"It's the New Year in the first month of the year. It's the first day of the new year..."
The loud and cheerful duo's tune reverberated in the air. In the cold wind, the expedition team drifted away and gradually disappeared from everyone's sight...
Xu Rui led the team all the way south, entered the Primorsky Krai, and arrived at the airport near Vladivostok. In Vladivostok, Savushkin and Cherev received Xu Rui's troops. They had already been informed that the American transport plane
They need to fly through the Bering Strait, then fly around the Sea of Okhotsk to Vladivostok, and then load Xu Rui's troops onto the plane from Vladivostok.
Savushkin said: "Comrade Xu Rui, I didn't expect that this time you would go to help the Americans fight. What a pity. You should have shown off your skills on the Soviet-German battlefield."
Xu Rui said: "There is nothing to regret. We fight against the Japanese wherever we go. Savushkin, after I leave, you must guard the coastal area and don't let the Japanese take advantage of the loopholes."
Savushkin said: "Comrade Xu Rui, Primorsky Krai is like this now, I can only do my best."
Xu Rui looked a little sad. The Far Eastern Front Army in Primorsky Territory originally had 50,000 troops, but after several bloody battles with the Japanese, there were only about 20,000 troops left, and they were surrounded by millions of Japanese Far Eastern Front troops.
It is not easy to defend Vladivostok with only 20,000 people.
Once Vladivostok is lost, Wujiashan will lose its support, and it will inevitably not last long. As a result, the situation in the entire Northeast will inevitably fall into an extremely passive situation. Xu Rui can't help but worry about the fate of the Wujiashan base area.
But he also knows that there are some things that you really can't force, you can only do your best.
One day later, a formation of more than a hundred of the latest U.S. C-54 "Skymaster" transport aircraft flew over the Vladivostok Airport. These U.S. "Skymaster" transport aircraft are the military version of the DC-4 passenger aircraft. They have an extremely long range and can reach as far as
6,276 kilometers, enough to fly from the U.S. Air Force Base in Adak, Alaska, across the Bering Strait to Vladivostok.
The Vladivostok airport is limited, and it is impossible for these "air kings" to land all at once, so they have to land in batches, load soldiers and refuel before taking off.
Due to the limited carrying space of the aircraft, the Americans require all soldiers to throw away all weapons, not to carry personal belongings, and even to defecate before boarding the aircraft.
Xu Rui's troops were well prepared for this and had left all their weapons behind Wujiashan when they left Wujiashan. Therefore, the officers and soldiers of the New Anti-Alliance Regiment boarded the plane smoothly.
When the plane rose into the sky, Xu Rui once again glanced at the white vast land below, took a deep breath, and secretly thought to himself that this time he participated in the Pacific War and had to work with the Nationalist Government's army, fearing that something unexpected would happen again.
A lot of waves...
United States, Hawaii.
The warm sea breeze blew on Xu Rui's face. Xu Rui was lying on a chair on the beach, holding a coconut in his hand, and kept sucking the coconut juice through a straw, with a contented look on his face.
The sun shone on Xu Rui's strong skin, turning his powerful muscles into a bronze color. At this time, Xu Rui would not even need to apply olive oil if he were to participate in a bodybuilding competition.
A week ago, the DC-4 transport plane carrying the New Anti-Union Regiment passed through the Bering Strait from Vladivostok and entered Alaska in the United States. After several twists and turns, it finally flew to Hawaii, and Hawaii was also the end point of the New Anti-Union Regiment's trip.
In Hawaii, as soon as they got off the plane, everyone was ordered to take off all the clothes on their bodies and then destroy them in a centralized manner. Afterwards, everyone had to disinfect their entire bodies naked and shave their hair into square inches to prevent them from carrying parasites.
After taking a shower, I received new military uniforms and individual equipment.
The American individual soldier equipment is very complete, including M1928 backpack, M1910 belt-type ammunition pouch, M1910 water bottle, first aid bandage bag. In addition, soldiers who are responsible for breaking obstacles will additionally carry M1936 destruction scissors. Most of the soldiers have original
Only officers will be issued the M1911 pistol, so everyone is also equipped with an M1911 pistol holster and magazine pouch...
