The Japanese army was about to invade the territory in large numbers, so the Dawu Mountain Regiment adopted an active defense strategy.
The so-called active defense means that we never defend a city or a place, and never fight head-on with the enemy. Instead, we use the vast space to carry out ubiquitous harassment and attacks, try to slow down the enemy's progress, consume the enemy's physical strength and vigor, and at the same time try our best to
Kill the enemy's effective force, and if the opportunity arises, you will not hesitate to focus fire on it!
The specific arrangement is that, except for the 1st Battalion, the machine gun company is stationed in Meizhen, the 2nd Battalion, the 3rd Battalion and the Cavalry Battalion are all spread out in platoon units, spreading on both sides of the road from Feicheng to Meizhen to look for opportunities.
Among them, the special operations unit has the heaviest task, because without the special operations unit providing accurate and timely intelligence, the troops scattered will become blind and deaf. Not only will they not be able to pose a threat to the Japanese, they will also be eaten by the Japanese.
Because it is not that far from Feicheng to Meizhen and the Japanese can get there in one day without marching at night.
However, during the day, the Japanese had aerial reconnaissance, and it was clear what the regiment was doing.
Therefore, the dispersed troops can only hide and wait, which adds another arduous task to the special operations team, which is to lure the Japanese.
Not only to provide intelligence support, but also to lure the enemy, the task of the special operations team is not ordinary.
Therefore, Xu Rui decided to personally lead the special operations team to attack. Because Xu Rui has hearing, vision and smell far beyond ordinary people, at this stage, the strength of the special operations team with him and without him is completely different. It is no exaggeration.
It is said that Xu Rui's role alone is almost greater than that of the entire special operations team.
However, this move was opposed by Wang Husheng.
"Old Xu, you are just making nonsense." Wang Husheng said excitedly, "Don't forget that you are the regiment commander. You are now the senior commander of our New Fourth Army, not the captain of the special operations unit. Yes, reconnaissance of the enemy's situation is important, but this
It can be completely left to the veterans and special operations teams, and it doesn’t necessarily have to be done by you, the leader, right?"
"What's right? At this stage, the special operations team really can't survive without me."
Xu Rui tied her leggings while talking. Xiao Taohong wanted to come forward to help several times, but Xu Rui stopped her. Sai Hongfu and Xiao Taohong are like sisters, so they can enjoy Xiao Taohong's service with peace of mind.
He couldn't do it, otherwise he wouldn't really have become a master in the feudal era?
Wang Husheng said: "What will happen to the base after you leave?"
"Isn't there Lao He here?" Xu Rui said, "With Lao He's 1st Battalion here, nothing will happen."
"What I'm worried about is exactly this Lao He." Wang Husheng motioned for Xiao Taohong to avoid him, and then lowered his voice and said, "In the past few days, mysterious figures with unknown identities have been coming in and out of He Guangming's camp. Although there is no definite evidence, I
I'm sure this is the person sent by the Third War Zone!"
Xu Rui smiled and said: "Why, are you worried that Lao He will betray you?"
"Can I not worry?" Wang Husheng complained, "Honestly, you shouldn't have let the 1st Battalion stay. If anything goes wrong, the regiment will be homeless."
Although it is now the second period of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and from the current perspective, the two parties are getting along harmoniously, but under the seemingly calm waters, there are actually turbulent undercurrents. Both the Kuomintang and them are making small moves constantly.
Needless to say, on the other hand, there are actually many attempts to poach the Kuomintang.
For example, Xu Rui's recruitment of the remnants of the 180th Division was poaching the Kuomintang army.
You know, if you are in the first grade of junior high school, you can't blame others for being in the fifteenth grade. If you, Xu Rui, poached the Kuomintang, you have to guard against the Kuomintang poaching you in turn. After all, when He Guangming's 1st Battalion joined the regiment
Soon, the other troops in the group could no longer have deep feelings for each other, so no one dared to say that they would not betray him.
"There is no chance." Xu Rui said, "I believe that Lao He will not betray him."
"Old Xu, are you really so sure?" Wang Husheng asked, dumbfounded.
"This is called self-confidence. I have confidence in our group." Xu Rui chuckled and said, "No matter who he is, as long as he still has a patriotic heart, if he joins our group, he will never leave again."
Wang Husheng curled his lips, but couldn't find anything to refute. He had to admit that Xu Rui's words did make sense.
When the regiment was still a brigade, it had already been marked by Xu Rui. The character of this unit was the same as that of Xu Rui. They both emphasized gratification and grudges, and the life and death dependence between comrades. However, there was still a patriotism, but there was still a trace of patriotism.
Bloody, if you join such a unit, you will only feel extremely relaxed, and naturally you will not want to leave again.
While talking, the leggings had been put on, and Xu Rui said: "Okay, Lao Wang, I'm leaving. If you need anything, just send me a telegram and I'll be back right away."
Youdao is that the army has not moved, and intelligence comes first. Xu Rui has always attached great importance to the construction of the intelligence system. The establishment and development of the intelligence system in the occupied areas requires a long period of operation. Xu Rui has no choice but to rely on the strength of the organization, but
However, communication between various units of the army can be strengthened as a priority.
In previous battles, the regiment seized a lot of radio stations. Using these radio stations, Xu Rui set up a communications department. Sai Hongfu, an agent of the Central Unification Committee, also served as the director of the communications department. There were four communications classes under the communications department.
For this sortie, the 2nd Battalion, 3rd Battalion and the Cavalry Battalion were all equipped with a communications squad.
The remaining one class stayed in Meizhen.
As for the special operations team, there is also the division chief Sai Hongfu.
This kind of communication power, not to mention the New Fourth Army or the Eighth Route Army, is the most elite model unit in the National Revolutionary Army. The Central Military Academy Teaching Corps cannot compare with it. Only a pervert like Xu Rui can strengthen the communication power to this extent. However, both
Even so, Xu Ruidu still felt that the communication power was too weak.
Xu Rui is already thinking that after this battle is over, he must hold a radio training class.
Seeing that Xu Rui was determined, Wang Husheng could not say anything more and could only send Xu Rui out.
Outside the regiment headquarters, all eight veteran members and three new members of the special operations team have arrived.
Seeing Xu Rui coming out, Leng Tiefeng and the eleven team members immediately put their feet back and stood at attention.
"Don't be so serious." Xu Rui smiled slightly, and the expressions of the eight veteran team members immediately relaxed. After nearly half a year of getting along, they have become accustomed to Xu Rui's style. During training, Xu Rui was a pervert and a beast.
He will torture you and abuse you in every possible way, and he can really drive you crazy.
In normal times, Xu Rui is your best friend and most trustworthy brother.
When it comes to fighting, Xu Rui is the best commander and the most ideal comrade-in-arms.
"I won't say anything unnecessary." Xu Rui chuckled and said domineeringly, "This battle, in our eyes, can't be called a battle. It's just a hunting operation at best. However, this time we
What we are hunting is not a cunning rabbit, but a bison, and the only thing we have to do is provoke the bison and lead it into a trap."
Several Lang Ya immediately started laughing. Only the three new team members, Han Feng, Hua Niu and Tiezhu, did not laugh.
Xu Rui waved his hand, and the Langya team immediately turned around and walked away.
(Dividing line)
"Five days, within five days we must solve the Damei Mountain Regiment." Hamura Shuichi stared at the map of the Damei Mountain Area in front of him and said to his chief of staff Tatsuya Nagashin.
Hamura Shuichi was in conflict with the tasks assigned by the Front Army Headquarters.
Although the 101st Division is a newly formed ad hoc division, it is still a field division anyway. Its equipment and organizational structure are in accordance with the standards of a permanent division. In particular, the soldiers of the 101st Division are
It is composed of the reserve and reserve forces of the 1st Division. If the 1st Division is the first-class main force of the 17 permanent divisions, then their 101st Division is the first-class main force of the 19 newly formed ad hoc divisions!
Therefore, main divisions like the 101st Division should be used on the frontal battlefield in the attack on Xuzhou, rather than being split up. One part is used as a guard force, and the other part is organized into a detachment to attack the Dameishan Regiment.
Hamura Shuichi admitted that Xu Rui was a ruthless character and had indeed caused great damage to the Japanese army in previous battles. However, mobilizing a detachment specifically to deal with him would have placed too much emphasis on him.
However, Hamura Shuichi will not express his inner thoughts easily.
Moreover, now that the order from the Front Army Headquarters has been issued and the Hamura detachment has been organized into an army, it is meaningless to talk about it. The only thing he should consider now is how to eliminate Xu Rui's Dameishan in the shortest possible time.
regiment, and then he would have the opportunity to participate in the Battle of Xuzhou.
Tatsuya Nagajin was not as optimistic as Shuichi Hamura, and said: "Detachment leader, the intelligence shows that the Dameishan Regiment is a capable force, and Xu Rui himself is a ferocious and cunning wolf. Although we have absolute strength and firepower,
Advantages, but we still can’t take them lightly.”
"Of course." Hamura Shuichi is not a proud and complacent idiot. He can still listen to different opinions. He nodded and said, "There is an old saying in China, which is called the lion and the rabbit. We still need to use all our strength. This time we will sweep Damei Mountain.
, our Hamura detachment must also try our best and never give our opponents any chance of comeback."
"Hai." Yong Jinda also nodded heavily and said, "Detachment leader, all the wings have been in place, and all the combat forces of the aviation corps have been deployed. However, it is already twelve o'clock at noon. If we set off at this time
, it’s getting dark halfway through the journey, and it’s easy to be harassed by the Chinese army. In order to avoid unnecessary losses, do you want to set off again tomorrow?”
"No." Hamura Shuichi said flatly, "As the saying goes, soldiers are valuable and quick. The longer we delay, the more fully prepared the China Army will be. Moreover, the imperial army has an absolute advantage in strength. Even at night, as long as they do not attack easily,
There is no need to worry about harassment by the Chinese army, so there is no need to postpone it until tomorrow, we will set off at 2pm!"
"Hai." Yong Jinda also nodded heavily and took the order.
