Xu Rui was stunned when he heard this. He never expected that Luo Feng would suddenly tell him this.¤,
In fact, Xu Rui also heard the news. It is said that Luo Feng once told Ding Li and Lei Peng on the night they captured Feicheng, asking them to take the remnants of the 88th Division to the independent regiment, while he returned to Wuhan alone.
However, this is just a private rumor after all. Xu Rui is not sure whether Luo Feng said this.
Therefore, now Xu Rui is not sure that what Luo Feng said was from the bottom of his heart. Maybe Luo Feng just said this to stabilize him and to make the Dameishan Independent Group willing to defend Feicheng?
As the old saying goes, you can't have the intention to harm others, and you can't have the intention to guard against others.
At that moment, Xu Rui said: "Commander Luo, if you say that, I really have no shame in staying here anymore..."
Luo Feng immediately interrupted Xu Rui and said: "Captain Xu, please don't think that I said this deliberately to stabilize your independent regiment. I will tell you the truth. After being a soldier for these years, I have fought
After these years of fighting, I can finally see clearly that the Nationalist Government cannot be saved and has no hope."
Xu Rui became even more stunned and said, "Brigadier Luo, you are going too far..."
Luo Feng waved his hand again, interrupted Xu Rui and said: "Captain Xu, I have been holding some words in my heart for a long time. If you don't let me say it today, I will really be depressed to death. You know Songhu
Why did we lose so miserably in the battle? You must not know."
Xu Rui said: "I know, because the National Army Headquarters chose the wrong battlefield, we should not have a decisive battle with the Japs in the unprotected suburbs of Shanghai, because the Japs' warships can go straight into the Yangtze River Estuary and Huangpu River, and use the warships to
Large-caliber naval guns provided fire support to their army."
Luo Feng nodded and said: "Commander Xu, do you know why Japanese naval warships can go straight into the Yangtze River Estuary and Huangpu River? We have clearly built a fortress on Fortress Mountain. The terrain of Fortress Mountain is dangerous and it is known as
The key to the Yangtze River Estuary only requires a few long-range fortress guns, and Japanese warships cannot even knock in."
Speaking of this, Luo Feng paused for a moment, and then continued with a sad face: "But do you know? The fortress cannons purchased from Italy by the Nationalist Government at a huge expense are actually unusable. Haha, Commander Xu, do you know, those
The fortress cannons are all old cannons that have been eliminated by the Italian army, and they are all antique cannons from half a century ago."
Xu Rui remained silent. He had actually seen these things from war history materials. In fact, Kong Xiangxi, the then Minister of Finance, was not the only one to do such things. Song Ziwen, who succeeded Kong Xiangxi as Minister of Finance soon after, was more
His predecessor was even worse, otherwise how could he be the richest man in the world?
Luo Feng added: "Those lousy corrupt officials didn't even bother to file off the nameplates on the cannons, so they openly bought back antiques from half a century ago. Oh, by the way, there are also cannonballs.
Even the fuse is corroded. How can you shoot such a cannon with such a shell? It’s all fucking nonsense.”
Xu Rui said: "Commander Luo, we don't talk about this..."
"No, let me finish my words." Luo Feng insisted, "From top to bottom, the National Government is rotten to the core. Do you think there is hope for such a government? Also, Commander Xu, you have nothing to lose.
Don't think that the military is a pure land. In fact, the military is more serious and dirty than you think!"
Xu Rui smiled bitterly and shook his head, and could only remain a quiet listener.
Luo Feng continued: "Let's talk about Sun Yuanliang, the commander of our 88th Division. In the first stage of the Songhu Battle, all walks of life in Shanghai donated a large number of cigarettes, alcohol, towels, cans and other condolence items. But did you know that these condolence items
Only a small part was distributed to the brothers, and most of the rest was sold by Sun Yuanliang."
"Captain Xu, please don't think I'm talking nonsense, because Sun Yuanliang's adjutant is a fellow countryman of mine, and the sale of condolences was handled by my fellow countryman."
"Captain Xu, in fact, this is nothing, there is something even more irritating. I remember once a group of female students came to express condolences to the army. Sun Yuanliang fell in love with one of them, and he just forced her to stay in his division headquarters.
It's called a beauty matching a hero, hahaha, is he a hero? He's not even a bear."
"With this kind of government and this kind of army, do you think there is any hope?" After Luo Feng finished speaking, he shook his head and sighed, "No, there will be no hope! Therefore, I will never let my brothers
To work for such a high-ranking official, the Battle of Feicheng will be the last time that I and my brothers will participate in the war as the National Army."
Having said this, Xu Rui knew that he had to say something, he had to take a stand.
Xu Rui said: "Brother Luo, since you have said this, I have to express my position. Your brothers from the Central Anhui Advance Brigade are going to join our Dameishan Independent Regiment. I will definitely welcome them with raised hands.
Especially Brother Luo, as long as you are willing to come, I will make you the leader, but..."
Luo Feng smiled slightly and continued: "But everything must wait until this battle is over first."
"Yes, everything has to wait until this battle is over first." Xu Rui laughed and said, "The Japanese Kumamoto Division has already arrived at the city, and the Kikuchi Brigade may arrive at any time. Facing the Japanese one division after another,
Whether we can survive to the end of the brigade's siege is unknown."
"That's easy." Luo Feng said with a smile, "If Feicheng is defended, my brothers from the Central Anhui Advance Brigade and I will follow you to continue fighting the Japanese. If Feicheng is not defended in the end, we will follow you on the road, you and me.
Brother, when we get to the underworld road, we will continue to beat the Japanese, and we have to beat them until these lousy little Japanese people kneel down and beg for mercy."
"Okay, I've decided to take care of you as my brother." After Xu Rui finished speaking, he stretched out his hand.
Luo Feng also stretched out his right arm and shook hands with Xu Rui, holding the arm.
But at this moment, Sai Hongfu walked out of the communications office with a solemn look.
"The fourth team has an urgent telegram." Sai Hongfu walked up to Xu Rui and handed a telegram to Xu Rui.
Xu Rui read it in a hurry, and his face suddenly changed slightly. He was really afraid of whatever he wanted. Immediately after the Feidong position was lost, the four detachments on the Chaoxian side could no longer withstand it and were forced to give way to the front and let Judi
The brigade is heading north from Chao County, which means that the Kikuchi brigade will be arriving soon!
Seeing Xu Rui's expression was different, Luo Feng asked: "What's wrong?"
Xu Rui said nothing, but handed the telegram to Luo Feng.
After Luo Feng read the telegram, his expression changed instantly.
What does it mean that there is continuous rain when the house leaks? This is called continuous rain when the house leaks.
What does it mean that a ship encounters the leading wind late? This is called a ship encountering the leading wind late.
The 1st Regiment here just lost the Feidong position, and as a result, the Kikuchi Brigade over there has also passed through Chaoxian County. This means that the worst situation will come early, although the Kikuchi Brigade will not be able to arrive until tomorrow morning at the earliest.
When we arrived at Feinan, although there was still a complete 2nd regiment in Feinan, his family knew his own affairs, and Luo Feng knew that the 2nd regiment might not be able to hold on for long.
Now, all hope can only be pinned on street fighting and Xu Rui's independent regiment.
Xu Rui sighed softly and said to Luo Feng: "Commander Luo, before the Judi brigade reaches Feinan, quickly withdraw Lei Peng's 2nd regiment."
There are two forms of defensive warfare.
One is active defense, which means to break up the guarding troops and deploy them to the periphery of the area you want to defend to form a broad peripheral defense line. In this way, due to the expansion of the perimeter of the defense line, the enemy cannot effectively encircle and annihilate the defenders.
, at this time the enemy will be in an awkward situation.
Because if the defenders on the periphery are not first annihilated, the enemy will not be able to effectively occupy the target area, because the large number of defenders on the periphery will pose a serious threat to the enemy's logistics supply line. Once the situation worsens, it may even be reversed.
You are surrounded by the defenders, but if you forcefully clear out the outer defenders, the defenders will not give you a chance and will drag you with you and waste your time.
Speaking of active defense, the Red Army is a master. The reason why it was able to win the first four counter-encirclement and suppression campaigns is because the Red Army knows the secret of active defense. The secret of active defense lies in the word "move". You must move. In the movement
Go find the fighter plane and win with one strike!
The other is passive defense, such as the Battle of Songhu, the Battle of Nanjing, the Battle of Stalingrad, and the Defense of Moscow. They are all passive defenses. Passive defense cannot place all its forces on the periphery like active defense, but
We must shrink our troops as much as possible and engage in street fighting with the enemy.
The Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Nanjing failed because the National Army gave up street fighting and chose to engage in field battles with the enemy outside the city. The Battle of Stalingrad and the Battle of Moscow were successful because the Soviet army avoided field battles as much as possible.
, but resolutely engaged in street fighting with the Germans.
In particular, the Battle of Stalingrad can be said to be the largest street battle in human history.
In the Feicheng defense battle, Xu Rui originally wanted to use active defense, because compared to passive defense, active defense has more room for maneuver. Once the war progresses, it will be easier to escape, but now it seems that active defense is no longer possible.
If possible, then we must shrink our troops and engage in street fighting with the enemy.
"Withdraw the 2nd regiment?" Luo Feng was surprised when he heard this.
"Yes, withdraw the 2nd Regiment." Xu Rui said, "The terrain conditions in Feidong are better than Feinan, but you have already seen the result. In just one day, the position was lost."
Luo Feng was silent, this result was indeed beyond his expectation.
Xu Rui added: "The Feidong position was lost not because of Captain Ding's incompetent command, nor because the officers and soldiers of the 1st Regiment did not dare to die or fight. In fact, Brother Luo, you have also seen that the officers and soldiers of the 1st Regiment fought very bravely. 3
All the more than 600 officers and soldiers of the battalion died in the battle, and no one survived!"
