Chapter 3 Temporary compilation of the seventy-ninth division
Xu Ruiping was holding a 38-meter cover and walked leisurely among the ruins with his waist bent.
Xu Rui's pace seemed slow, but in fact his progress was not slow. Lin Feng and about twenty remaining soldiers of the national army tried their best to keep up.
Xu Rui turned to look at Lin Feng, who was following him, and asked, "Brother, what do you call me?"
"Lin Feng, Shuangmu Forest, the lightning-fast wind." Lin Feng paused and asked Xu Rui, "Where are you, brother?"
"Xu Rui, double Xu, unstoppable Rui." Xu Rui smiled slightly and asked Lin Feng, "Which unit are you from?"
Lin Feng stopped, straightened his wrinkled khaki uniform in a serious manner, and replied seriously: "The National Revolutionary Army has temporarily established the Seventy-ninth Division."
"Temporarily forming the Seventy-ninth Division?" Xu Rui's heart trembled when he heard this.
In modern Chinese history, the Temporary 79th Division is definitely a famous force, because the predecessor of the Temporary 79th Division is the 79th Route Army. This is one of the few troops in the national army that can fight tough battles.
1. During the 128 Shanghai Anti-Japanese War five years ago, the 79th Route Army defeated the Japanese commander Si Yi.
After the Fujian Incident, the 79th Route Army was withdrawn and downsized to the temporary 79th Division.
After the Battle of Songhu broke out on August 13, the temporary 79th Division was also transferred to the Songhu battlefield, but its performance was not good because the division commander Yang Ruofei escaped before the battle. In just one day, a Japanese infantry brigade was defeated and lost.
The railway dock in Wusong Town caused the war situation in Songhu to deteriorate sharply.
After the Battle of Songhu was completely defeated, the temporary 79th Division was ordered to cut off the rear and fought bloody battles with the Japanese army. Especially in Wuxi, they staged an extremely brutal street battle with the Japanese army. This street battle was the only large-scale street battle in the eight years of the Anti-Japanese War.
It was during this street battle that the 19th Independent Division fought with determination and no one surrendered.
Of course, the price was extremely heavy. The entire division was completely destroyed and the final designation was cancelled.
It seems that this is Wuxi, and this battle will be the final swan song of the temporary 79th Division.
But now that I have traveled through time, I must take these twenty-odd remnants out no matter what, and leave some seeds for the temporary 79th Division.
For no other reason than because the 79th Route Army was an iron army that never surrendered in the two wars of resistance!
However, it is not an easy task to break through the Japanese encirclement with these twenty-odd remnants. The top priority is to first solve the morale problem of these remnants.
At that moment, Xu Rui said: "Your division's situation doesn't seem to be very good, right?"
"Our situation is more than just bad?" Lin Feng said with a wry smile, "To be honest, our command system has been completely destroyed by the little devils. All the main regiments have lost contact, all the troops directly under the division headquarters have been killed and injured, and the secret service battalion has been completely destroyed.
There are only about twenty people left. If you hadn't appeared just now, brother, we would have died for the party and the country."
Xu Rui added: "So, what are your plans next?"
"What other plans can there be?" Lin Feng sighed and said, "As a soldier, you should fight for the country and the nation to the last pawn and the last bullet."
Xu Rui frowned and said, "Why don't you break out and keep yourself useful until the time comes?"
"Breakout?" Lin Feng said with a bitter smile, "I also want to break out, but how can I break out? The main force groups have been divided and surrounded. Our temporary 79th Division is now a basin of loose sand, and there are everywhere inside and outside the city.
It’s the Japs, there is at least one regiment, do you think it is possible for us to defeat one of the Japs’ regiments and then break out?”
"Then try to contact each main force group, gather together into a tower, and resume command."
"Gather the sand into a tower and resume command?" Lin Feng shook his head flatly and said, "Absolutely impossible."
"Absolutely impossible?" Xu Rui's expression immediately cooled down, and he stared at Lin Feng and said, "Never jump to conclusions about something you have not tried before! You have to trust your subordinates, and you have to believe that no matter what kind of situation you face,
They will not give up easily despite difficult situations, they will persevere to the end, and never forget that they are soldiers of the 79th Route Army!"
Listening to Xu Rui's powerful words, the twenty-odd remnant soldiers behind Lin Feng straightened their backs in unison, and the burning fighting spirit ignited from the depths of their eyes again. The Seventy-ninth Route Army? It has been a long time.
I haven't heard of this number since it was so long that they have almost forgotten it.
However, have they really forgotten?
No, they didn't, they didn't forget!
They will never forget that they were soldiers of the 79th Route Army!
Xu Rui continued: "Your subordinates have not given up, and as the chief of staff, you should not abandon them!"
Lin Feng immediately became anxious, and shouted with a livid face: "Of course I will not abandon my subordinates, but..."
"There is no but, there is no word but in the dictionary of soldiers. There are only life and death, victory and defeat on the battlefield, there will never be any but!" Xu Rui interrupted Lin Feng extremely arrogantly, and said, "Since you
If you don’t intend to abandon your subordinates, then cheer up and lead them to drive the little devils into Taihu Lake to feed the fish!”
After saying that, Xu Rui took the rifle and turned into a small alley without looking back.
Xu Rui's words seemed to have a magical power, causing the twenty-odd remnant soldiers behind Lin Feng to move forward in unison. It wasn't until they were far away that the dozen or so remnant soldiers reacted one after another, stopped quickly, and turned back to Lin Feng.
Feng looked over, but from their eyes, Lin Feng saw burning fighting spirit.
In an instant, Lin Feng's chest suddenly surged with blood.
Xu Rui is right. Since his soldiers are still resisting and have never given up, then, as a commander, what reason does he have to abandon them?
No, I, Lin Feng, will never abandon my subordinates!
Lin Feng took a deep breath and quickly followed Xu Rui with more than 20 remaining soldiers.
Seeing Lin Feng following him with more than 20 remnant soldiers, Xu Rui's lips curved into a faint smile.
Xu Rui slowed down slightly, and after Lin Feng caught up, he said, "Chief of Staff Lin, do you believe me?"
"So what if you believe it, so what if you don't believe it?" Lin Feng asked rhetorically.
"If you believe me, then hand over the command to me, and I will promise to take your temporary 79th Division out." Xu Rui paused here, gave Lin Feng a moment to digest, and then continued,
"If you don't believe me, just pretend I didn't say anything, but don't worry, I will still do my best to help you break out."
Lin Feng instinctively wanted to refuse and hand over the command of the temporary 79th Division to an unknown person? What a joke!
However, when the words came to his lips, Lin Feng swallowed them back. He suddenly recalled the scene just now. Xu Rui killed the Japanese just like killing chickens. He commanded a large army. It is hard to say whether Xu Rui has this ability. But if he is commanding
Such a soldier king should be able to handle a small unit, at least much better than his chief of staff who has never led troops independently.
At that moment, Lin Feng said: "I can hand over the command to you, but you must first prove that you have this ability."
"Okay, I'll prove it to you right now." A faint smile appeared on Xu Rui's lips again, because he had already heard a faint sound of footsteps.
It must be the kid's mopping up team, let's use them to sacrifice the flag.
Xu Rui suddenly squatted on the spot, raised his right hand and clenched it into a fist.
Lin Feng had attended the Army University and had briefly learned sign language. When he saw this, he quickly crouched down. However, most of the twenty or so remnant soldiers following behind him did not know sign language and they still ran forward panting. As a result, their footsteps were messy.
The sound immediately alerted a Japanese mopping up team not far away from the opposite side.
In an instant, the screams of the Japanese were heard.
At this point, there was no need to sign any more. Xu Rui turned around and shouted: "Spread out and prepare to fight!"
After hearing this, the more than twenty remnant soldiers immediately dispersed and quickly seized advantageous positions. It can be seen that the military quality of these more than twenty remnant soldiers is quite good, which also explains why they can survive to this day.
, others died in the battle, but they survived, there are some reasons in it after all.
However, in the eyes of Xu Rui, a super soldier who has received the most modern and highest-standard military skills training, the technical and tactical actions of these remnants seem a bit amateurish. For example, one remnant soldier stabbed the barrel of his gun while lying down.
Entering the ruins, if this were Xu Rui's soldiers, they would have kicked him in the butt.
If there is sand in the barrel of this gun, it will jam.
If a bullet jams on the battlefield, it can be fatal!
There is also a soldier who did not do the essentials of lying down correctly. He actually lies down with his legs spread wide. In this way, when transferring, he must first bend his legs before he can exert force. Don't underestimate such a trivial detail.
, maybe because of this moment of delay, the enemy's shells have already fallen and killed you.
On the battlefield, life and death are often decided in a split second.
Of the more than twenty remnants, only one remnant's tactical moves left an impression on Xu Rui.
The remnant soldier's climbing movements were as standard as a textbook, and he was as agile as an ape. He climbed up a half-collapsed small foreign-style building on the street in two moves, and then quickly lay down on the second-floor balcony. It was a
It can effectively avoid artillery shells, and has a very good sniper position. Xu Rui can tell at a glance that this soldier has received professional sniper training.
It was interesting. A faint smile immediately appeared on Xu Rui's lips. He actually met a veteran of the Chinese army who had received special sniper training. In this era, such veterans are rare among the millions of Chinese soldiers.
Does it exist? But today, let you first see what real sniping is.
Within a moment, the Japanese commander's command came from the street opposite.
"Yamaguchi-san, Hasegawa-san, you two take a detour from the left."
"Ono-san, Utada-san, you two are outflanking us from the right."
"Qingshui-san, seize the high point on the right and use machine gun cover."
"The rest, follow me and attack from the front."
Xu Rui slightly peeked his head out from behind the broken wall where he was hiding, and saw a dozen little Japs rushing in from the street across the street. These Jaap soldiers were extremely skillful in their tactical movements, bending down and snaking, never showing up easily, and their division of labor was clear.
Those who outflank are those responsible for frontal attack, and the machine gun team is responsible for suppressing fire.
