After receiving the telegram from Jiangnan, Xu Rui had the ambition to eat up the Kawaguchi detachment in one bite.
Xu Rui originally thought that as long as he worked hard on the bait and could draw out the main force of the Kawaguchi detachment, the next thing would be simple. However, when Xu Rui really started to formulate a plan, he suddenly discovered that he could
Even if we really draw out the main force of the Kawaguchi detachment, we can’t eat it in one bite!
After all, the Kawaguchi detachment is a detachment with nearly ten thousand people. In addition to two infantry regiments, there are also one regiment each of field artillery, baggage troops, engineers and cavalry. Just yesterday, the independent regiment paid a huge price to eat up the Muto Brigade.
, but the Muto Brigade was not originally part of the Kawaguchi Detachment.
In other words, the Kawaguchi detachment is still full to this day!
As for the Independent Regiment, it only has over 1,500 people at full strength!
With just over 1,500 people, the Japanese detachment of nearly 10,000 people wanted to be swallowed up in one go. I am afraid that only Xu Rui would dare to have such a crazy idea. If it were anyone else, he would just hide in the tunnel and wait.
When the little Japanese couldn't stand it any longer and returned without success, the counter-mopping operation was considered a victory.
But Xu Rui is not someone else. Xu Rui is Xu Rui after all. He dares to think what others dare not.
After all, when Xu Rui was in Nantong, he once created an even more exaggerated classic battle example. Only the remnants of a battalion severely damaged the fully-manned Chongteng Detachment, even though the Chongteng Detachment was based on the Taiwanese garrison brigade.
Yes, the combat effectiveness cannot be compared with the A-class and B-class divisions in Japan, but it is still a detachment!
Therefore, Xu Rui really wants to create another miracle in Damei Mountain and swallow up the Kawaguchi detachment in one go!
When he was in Nantong, he only had a remnant battalion that could severely damage a Japanese detachment. Now that he has a main force group and the support of nearly 100,000 people in the base area, why can't he create miracles again and kill him again?
A full detachment of little devils!
However, the ideal is very full, but the reality is very skinny.
When Xu Ruizhen was about to draw up a battle plan, he realized that the situation was really tricky.
The reason why Xu Rui was able to create miracles in the Battle of Nantong, in Leng Tiefeng's words, was because of many coincidences, such as Shigeto Chiaki's carelessness in underestimating the enemy, such as the rainy weather that prevented the Japanese bombers from taking off, and the temporary formation of the 79th Brigade not long ago.
A batch of heavy machine guns happened to be captured, and there happened to be a heavy machine gun position at a moderate distance on the reverse slope on the north side of the mud mountain. Or, when the Japanese launched a counterattack, the river ebbed, causing the river beach to become wider.
The accumulation of various coincidental factors finally created a miracle.
But the reason why a miracle can become a miracle is because it cannot be copied. If it can be easily copied, can a miracle still be called a miracle? It is like a rare treasure. If they are all on the street, everyone has one.
Can that be considered a rarity? That's Chinese cabbage.
Xu Rui imagined many possibilities, but none of them could swallow the Kawaguchi detachment!
For example, he once imagined following the example of He Shuya, setting a fire somewhere, and then pushing the burning oil barrel toward the Japanese, causing the oil barrel to expand when heated and then explode, forming a de facto gasoline incendiary bomb to kill the Japanese.
In Longgou, the Independent Regiment has seized hundreds of tons of gasoline and diesel. If a suitable battlefield can be found, only fifty tons or less of gasoline can burn the entire Kawaguchi detachment to ashes. The power of incendiary bombs is so great.
It's very scary.
However, the question is, where to find such a suitable venue?
Whether in the plains or in the mountains, Xu Rui could not find such a place. It was not difficult to find a place to accommodate an infantry brigade, but it was absolutely impossible to find a place to accommodate a Japanese detachment. This was also
In other words, it is impossible for Xu Rui to replicate He Shuya's miracle.
Xu Rui also imagined using captured large-caliber artillery shells to lay out giant minefields, using electric detonation, and then detonating the mines at the same time after all the main forces of the Kawaguchi detachment entered the minefield. As long as the minefield was large enough, it would be no problem to kill the Kawaguchi detachment, but the problem was
, Xu Rui simply does not have that many electric detonating devices.
Xu Rui also imagined that it would be enough to just detonate a small number of artillery shells, and then use the explosion of this small number of artillery shells to induce the explosion of more artillery shells. However, it still did not work, because in order to induce the explosion of artillery shells, enough energy must be given.
Impact, so the bait bombs and the artillery shells to be used for the explosion must be buried together. How many artillery shells are needed?
Even with so many shells, how to detonate them is an unsolvable problem.
Even if the detonation method of bait bombs is used, a large number of electric detonators are required. Xu Rui may be able to find a way to modify a sufficient number of detonators, but how to ensure that these detonators are detonated at the same time?
Connect all the detonators in parallel? Forget it, there are not that many wires! Send one person to each detonator to manually detonate? How do you achieve synchronization? How can the personnel be concealed?
Or, find a way to gather the little devils together, so that the problem can be solved with fewer shells, and the problem of simultaneous explosions is easier to solve. However, will the little devils cooperate? They will gather together obediently and wait for you to use the cannonballs.
Are you going to use modified mines to blow them up? Don't be naive.
Xu Rui thought about it all night, but did not come up with a proper battle plan. Instead, because of overuse of his brain, he only felt a splitting headache when he woke up in the morning. Sai Hongfu asked Xiao Taohong to massage Xu Rui's head. Sai Hong usually
When she had a headache, she asked Xiao Taohong to give her a few squeezes. Needless to say, it really worked.
"Uncle, I see you are frowning, what are you thinking about?" Xiao Taohong asked while gently rubbing Xu Rui's temples.
"What else can you think about?" Xu Rui groaned in comfort and said, "Thinking about how to deal with the Japanese. These gangsters are really not easy to worry about."
"How tiring it would be for you to think about it alone." He said, "Why don't we get everyone together and think about it together? Isn't it true that three Zhuge Liangs are acting like cobblers?"
Sai Hongfu, who was sitting nearby sending and receiving telegrams, immediately became happy when he heard this.
Damn girl, you don’t study hard at ordinary times, are you making a joke now?
Xu Rui said in a serious tone: "Well, I also know that three Zhuge Liangs can stand up to a cobbler, but these days, it's hard to find a clever Zhuge Liang, let alone three of them?"
At this time, Xiao Taohong also realized that she had said the wrong thing.
At that moment, Xiao Taohong twisted her waist and said coquettishly: "Uncle, how are you?"
Xu Rui suddenly opened his slightly narrowed eyes and looked at the tender dimple on the top of his head. Suddenly his head no longer hurt and his mood was no longer dull. To have such a pretty girl massaging your head, it was so wonderful.
There is really no one left to scream at you. At that moment, Xu Rui stretched out his hands and touched the thighs that were pillowed under his head.
Xiao Taohong's delicate body immediately began to tremble slightly, and her voice also trembled a little: Uncle?
Xu Rui originally just wanted to tease Xiao Taohong, but after hearing Xiao Taohong's trembling voice as she wanted to refuse and welcome him, he couldn't help but feel a little moved. Xu Rui was true, but he came from the future, and with this
There is an essential difference between the old Marxists of the times.
If I have to make an analogy, the Marxists of this era are like true monks, with extremely lofty ideological realms and strict adherence to rules and precepts. Xu Rui, who traveled from later generations, is a meat-and-wine monk who advocates the passing of meat and wine through the intestines, and Buddha
In the secular state of mind, Xu Rui does not think that being a fair-weather monk is not good or corrupt.
Sai Hongfu noticed the ambiguity and stood up, how about I make room for you?
But Xu Rui never had the chance to eat up his pretty girl, because Wang Husheng came to visit.
Wang Husheng did not enter the bedroom because he was afraid of being irritated. He is still single, but Xu Rui dominates a pair of unparalleled beauties. How can you put this old bachelor in a bad mood?
"What's the matter? You woke me up so early in the morning." Xu Rui was still a little reluctant.
"It's still early in the morning? It's already three o'clock in the morning, okay?" Wang Husheng said angrily, "You, apart from your high ideological consciousness, your life style really doesn't look like a Marxist."
Xu Rui rolled his eyes, but did not refute Wang Husheng: "Old Wang, what is going on?"
"Old Xu, look at this." Wang Husheng put a dark stone on the table and said excitedly, "I went up there to get some air this morning and found this at the root of the courtyard wall of a fellow villager's house."
Xu Rui picked up the stone and said casually: "Isn't it just a stone?"
"Isn't it just a stone?" Wang Husheng said, "I tell you, this is not an ordinary stone."
When Wang Husheng said this, Xu Rui began to carefully look at the stone in his hand. He really saw some clues at this glance. I bet this is not an ordinary stone, but a piece of coal!
"Block of coal?" Xu Rui said, "Is this coal?!"
"Yes, this is coal!" Wang Husheng said excitedly, "We have coal mines in our base area!"
"Coal mine?" Xu Rui then recalled that there seemed to be many coal mines near Damei Mountain, but they were basically high-sulfur plums with relatively high sulfur content and were not worth mining. However, the piece of coal in front of him did not seem to be
The high-sulfur coal looked more like anthracite. He then asked, "Anthracite?"
"That's right!" Wang Husheng said again, "High-quality anthracite coal mine! And it's a surface coal mine!"
"But it's of no use." Xu Rui said, "Even if there is high-quality anthracite coal, we can't use it. Firstly, we can't use coal to generate electricity, and secondly, we can't export coal in exchange for foreign exchange. Aren't we just clinging to the golden rice bowl and begging for food? I don't know where the base is.
It's okay to have a coal mine, but knowing about it will only make me even more angry."
After hearing Xu Rui's words, Wang Husheng immediately deflated like a deflated rubber ball.
Indeed, knowing that there are coal mines in the base area, and that they are high-quality anthracite coal, or anthracite coal that is easy to mine on the surface, is it not worse to not be able to use it?
However, Xu Rui's heart suddenly moved slightly.
At that moment, Xu Rui said again: "Old Wang, what did you just say, surface coal?"
