The war situation in Feicheng has undergone a shocking reversal, but the outside world does not know it.⊥,
Although the 5th Brigade of the Japanese Independent Field Heavy Artillery stationed in the east of the city heard the gunshots coming from the city, they did not know what exactly happened in the city. Whether it was the discovery of lone Chinese remnants or a small-scale sneak attack by guerrillas.
, or did the Japanese officers and soldiers fire because they were happy? Everything is possible.
Therefore, the only thing the Japs from the east of the city could do was to send someone to inquire.
Even the Japanese in the east of the city did not order to raise the alert level.
Because no matter the Japs inside the city or the Japs outside the city, they never thought that the situation of the battle would be so reversed.
The Japs in the east of the city don’t know what happened in Feicheng, and it’s even less likely that the outside world will know, including the many patriotic people across the country who are still waiting in front of the radio. They heard the bad news about the Independence Group and Xu Rui on the radio.
After that, I started waiting, always hoping for a miracle to happen.

"Wenwen, don't wait any longer, go back to sleep."
Seeing Zheng Wen stubbornly waiting under the big tree in the school playground, Liang Yixiao felt inexplicably sad. After hearing the bad news that the Independence Regiment was destroyed and Xu Rui died early this morning, Zheng Wen and some female classmates started to
Sit quietly and wait under the big tree next to the playground, waiting for the announcement on the tree to sound again.
At noon, the radio did indeed sound again. Unfortunately, what came out was the teasing voice of Inaba Shiro, the commander of the Japanese Kumamoto Division, instead of the familiar voice. At that time, the campus was especially full of people like this.
Under the big tree, it was really gloomy and gloomy. All the girls including Liang Yixiao burst into tears.
After that, some girls left sadly, but Zheng Wen and a small number of girls were unwilling to leave.
"I don't." Zheng Wen shook her head stubbornly, still sitting quietly under the big tree and unwilling to leave.
Seeing that Zheng Wen refused to leave, Liang Yixiao could only sit down and continue to accompany Zheng Wen.
Liang Yixiao turned his head and looked at Zheng Wen. Just when he was about to speak to persuade, Zheng Wen interrupted him.
"Xiaoxiao, you don't need to persuade me." Zheng Wen said firmly, "I still firmly believe that Captain Xu will definitely be fine, and the Dameishan Independent Group will be fine. They will be fine."
Liang Yixiao smiled bitterly and said, "Are you so confident in Commander Xu?"
"That's right." Zheng Wen nodded and said, "I just have confidence in him."
Liang Yixiao shook his head and said: "You have never met him, how can you have the confidence?"
Zheng Wen said: "I have never met him, but I can feel his true love for this country and this nation. He is so capable, so until Little Japan is beaten away, nothing will happen to him."
Yes, Commander Xu must still be alive, this must be his trick to bully the enemy, yes, that’s right, it must be.”
"A plan to bully the enemy?" Liang Yixiao smiled bitterly, "Don't be naive."
Zheng Wen snorted and turned away from talking to Liang Yixiao.
When Liang Yixiao wanted to persuade him again, he suddenly heard a rustling blind sound in the background.
Zheng Wen, who was sulking with Liang Yixiao just now, immediately raised her head and cast her gaze at the radio speaker installed on the tree. The other dozen girls also raised their heads, with hopes and expectations on their faces.
That familiar voice could be heard on the radio again. Only Liang Yixiao did not have such illusions.
Liang Yixiao had been to Feicheng and had personally experienced the battle of the Independent Regiment. She knew that there was still a big gap between the strength of the Independent Regiment and the Kumamoto Division, so she knew that the bad news broadcast on the radio was probably true.
Unless a miracle happens, Xu Rui will not survive, and the Dameishan Independent Group will not be able to stage a counterattack.
However, sometimes, things in the world are so incredible.
What Liang Yixiao thought was the most impossible thing happened.
"Compatriots and overseas Chinese, good evening, everyone, we meet again."
After the rustling blind tone, a hoarse voice came from the broadcast speaker. It was not the hateful Japanese at noon today, nor was it the Chief of Staff Yang of the Independent Regiment who announced that Xu Rui was seriously injured late last night. It was clearly the voice of the Independent Regiment.
The leader of the group was Xu Rui himself, and Liang could tell it was Xu Rui's voice as soon as he smiled.
"Captain Xu?!"
"It's Captain Xu!"
"Is it really Captain Xu?"
More than a dozen girls screamed.
Zheng Wen even covered her mouth tightly and cried with joy.
Liang Yixiao also stared blankly at the loudspeaker among the dancing trees, and was stunned. Then, fearing that what he heard was just an illusion, Liang Yixiao stretched out his hand and pinched his arm hard, but the result was heartbreaking pain, no, no
Hallucination, all this is real, it was really Captain Xu’s voice just now, it was really him!
At this moment, Liang Yixiao couldn't help crying with joy.

In the dormitory, Wu Qian was packing his bags and preparing to leave.
The work of mobilizing students is almost done. Those who are willing to join the army have already joined the army and left. The rest are unwilling. Wu Qian cannot force it. It is time to leave Wuhan.
Although the independent regiment has been completely destroyed, and although Xu Rui has died for the country, the Dameishan base has not been lost, at least not yet. Therefore, Wu Qian decided to return to the base as soon as possible to follow the remaining people in the base.
Comrades and civilians face the upcoming difficult moments together.
Being a deserter was definitely not Wu Qian's character.
At this time, a roommate from the same dormitory hurried in and shouted breathlessly: "Quick, listen to the radio!"
In the dormitory, there were four students left. Because Wu Qian was also leaving, the atmosphere in the dormitory was a bit dull. However, after hearing the student's cry, the four students reacted immediately, especially Wu Qian.
The first one rushed out of Suchu, rushed down the stairs and came to the square.
There is a telephone pole in the corner of the square with a large broadcast loudspeaker installed on it.
On the radio, a very familiar voice sounded: "I am your old friend, Xu Rui. We all arrived at the underworld last night, but the King of Hell told us that the little devil is not dead yet. Come down here."
What are you doing? Go back, so no matter what, I came back with my brothers."
"Long live!"
"It's Captain Xu!"
"Captain Xu is not dead!"
"The Independent Group is fine!"
"I knew the Independence Group wouldn't be so easy to finish!"
Wu Qian, his roommates in the same dormitory, and students from other dormitories and other years all gave high-fives. Many students even burst into tears with excitement. Xu Rui is not dead, and the Dameishan Independent Group is not over yet. It will never happen again.
There is no better good news than this, and there is no more exciting news than this!

At almost the same time, a burst of enthusiastic cheers erupted from the frontline headquarters of the Xuzhou Battle in Macheng, and the huge sound almost toppled the roof of the headquarters.
Gu Shutong, who had just walked outside to take a breath of fresh air, was also startled by the huge sound.
Ever since he heard Yang Banan tell the news about Xu Rui's serious injury on the radio late last night, Gu Shutong's state of mind dropped like a roller coaster. No one knew Xu Rui and the independent group better than Gu Shutong.
importance.
If Xu Rui is not cured, the Independent Regiment will inevitably fall apart. Once the Independent Regiment collapses, the situation of the Xuzhou Battle will also take a turn for the worse. Not to mention the group heading north to encircle and annihilate the Japs, let alone fight against the Japs in Fuyang and Mengcheng with the Dabie Mountains as their back.
In the strategic decisive battle, by that time, it is still a huge unknown whether the dozens of divisions gathered on the front lines of Fuyang and Mengcheng can successfully withdraw.
The progress of the battle during the day quickly verified Gu Shutong's speculation.
Xu Rui was only seriously injured but not dead, which caused the independent regiment's combat effectiveness to drop sharply. As a result, Feicheng was captured by the Kumamoto Division in less than half a day. After the fall of Feicheng, the Feicheng-Wu Highway was opened by the Japanese and transported to Wuhu by water.
People and materials can be transported northward to Feicheng continuously through the Fei-Wu Highway.
Next, the Japanese army only needed to open up the Feibeng Highway, and the whole situation would be resolved immediately.
But Gu Shutong was helpless to deal with this upcoming unfavorable situation.
Mobilizing troops to Huainan or even Changfeng to stop the Japanese army? Then there must be troops to mobilize!
That is to say, the news of the fall of Feicheng has not spread yet. Once the news spreads, it will inevitably cause panic to the National Army of dozens of divisions in Huainan. What will happen then, God knows, for this
The same thing happened to the old tree, which had not received a drop of water all day long, and was very worried.
Hearing the huge noise coming from the headquarters, Gu Shutong could not help but feel his heart tremble. The cigarette held between the index and middle fingers of his right hand fell to the ground. Gu Shutong did not expect good news at all. He thought that there would be good news.
Something big has happened. Perhaps the vanguard of the Kumamoto Division has appeared in Huainan and has defeated Yu Xuezhong's troops on the southern front.
However, no matter how bad or severe the situation is, you still have to face what you have to face.
Dragging heavy footsteps, Gu Shu walked back to the headquarters one step at a time. Then, he saw a dozen senior staff members in the headquarters high-fiving each other, all with enthusiastic expressions.
From the looks of it, it doesn't look like there's anything bad going on?
Gu Shutong suddenly became energetic and asked: "What happened?"
A major general, Gao Shen, immediately came up to him and said loudly: "Chief, Xu Rui is back!"
"What did you say, Xu Rui is back?" Gu Shutong said in shock, "Come back from where?"
"The Underworld." After Major General Gao Shen said this, he became happy and added, "Xu Rui not only came back, but also brought back the Independent Regiment. The Japanese were caught off guard and were attacked by the Independent Regiment. Now Feicheng has returned to the underworld."
It was under the control of our army, and the division headquarters of the Kumamoto Division was also taken over by the independent regiment!"
"Is there such a thing?" When Gu Shutong heard this, a rush of blood rushed to his forehead.
