A dozen battalion commanders left with sighs, leaving only Liao Liao and a few people in the conference room. Xu Rui spread the map on the conference table, and then asked Leng Tiefeng and others to gather around the map.
Xu Rui drew a large circle on the south bank of the Yangtze River with a pencil and said in a deep voice: "Because Chairman Chiang was hot-headed and chose to fight the Japanese army on the De'an battlefield, the 1st Army Corps suffered heavy losses and lost the troops in Jiangxi and Hunan.
A large area of land, but the good news is that Jiangxi and Hunan have already entered a scorching hot weather, and it is still a hot weather that has not been seen in the past 50 years, which has caused great trouble to the Japanese!"
The inertia of history is indeed extremely powerful. Historically, the hot and scorching weather that once posed a serious threat to Okamura Neiji's 11th Army still came as scheduled in this time and space. Because of the high temperature and the scorching heat, the Japanese troops moved in the direction of Yueyang and
The offensive on both sides of the Yangtze River has been greatly eased, and the main force of the National Army in the Ninth Theater Zone can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
After a slight pause, Xu Rui continued: "Ningji Okamura's 11th Army is exhausted, and it is impossible to launch another major offensive until the hot weather subsides. However, Higashikata Niguhiko's 2nd Army
He also arrived at the battlefield in Central China at this time and will become the biggest threat to Wuhan!"
"If nothing else goes wrong, General Dong Jiure Nianyan's 2nd Army will definitely choose to go north from the foothills of the Dabie Mountains and threaten Wuhan's rear from the Xinyang direction, in order to form an encirclement situation with the Japanese 3rd and 101st Divisions from the Yuexiang direction.
Then we will capture the main forces of the fifth and ninth theaters of the National Army in the encirclement."
Leng Tiefeng and others nodded repeatedly. They had already deduced the Japanese army's combat plan before.
Xu Rui added: "Our independent regiment has limited troops, and what we can do is actually very limited. However, as the old saying goes, you dare not forget the national worries even if you are humble. Although our independent regiment has a small number of troops, we are facing this national crisis.
You have to do something within your ability, otherwise you won’t feel at ease!”
Leng Tiefeng said: "Old Xu, just tell me how to fight this battle?"
Xu Rui nodded and said: "We have only one intention in this battle, which is to delay the Japs as much as possible so that the Japs cannot launch an offensive from the northern foot of the Dabie Mountains to the direction of Xinyang as scheduled. In order to achieve this tactical goal, I decided to attack from two aspects at the same time.
, First, the Langya Squadron is preparing to carry out a beheading battle against Dongjiu Nianyan, and second, the three main battalions plus the cavalry battalion are to carry out mobile warfare against the main force of the Japanese 2nd Army..."
Before Xu Rui finished speaking, Sai Hongfu walked into the conference room with long legs and handed a telegram in his hand to Xu Rui. Leng Tiefeng and others also followed the telegram.
After Xu Rui read the telegram, he raised his thick eyebrows leisurely and said, "Well, we don't need to go. The little devil Dong Jiu Nian Yan came to the door himself, which saves trouble."
After saying that, Xu Rui handed the telegram in his hand to Wang Husheng next to him.
Soon, several people in the conference room had circulated the telegram and learned its contents. The telegram had just been sent by the underground party lurking in Pukou. The comrades of the underground party in Pukou provided important information. At least one division
The regiment of Japanese soldiers has disembarked from Pukou.
Yang Banan frowned and said: "Commander, the comrades of the Pukou underground party only said that at least one division of Japanese soldiers came ashore from Pukou, but they did not say that the little Japanese soldier Dong Jiurenianyan also came ashore from Pukou? Also, from Pukou
The Japanese division that came ashore may just want to take a shortcut from Pu County to Feicheng. How can you be sure that this Japanese division is coming for our base area?"
Xu Rui said: "This is not a lice on a bald man's head, it's obvious."
Without waiting for Xu Rui's explanation, Leng Tiefeng rushed to say: "Although the road from Pukou to Feicheng via Pu County is short, it is all small roads, and our Dameishan Independent Regiment is watching from the side. The Japanese have attacked here. How can it be so?"
Aren't you asking for trouble? As long as Dong Jiurenianyan is not an idiot, he will never make such a move."
Yang Bayan was slightly embarrassed because he didn't understand such a simple truth.
However, Yang Banan was still a little unconvinced and said: "Then how can the commander be sure that the little devil Dong Jiurenianyan has also landed from Pukou?"
Hearing this, Leng Tiefeng also turned his gaze to Xu Rui. He was also very confused. How did Xu Rui determine that the little devil Dong Jiu Nian Yan had disembarked from Pukou?
Facing everyone's gaze, Xu Rui said happily: "Intuition, this is just my intuition."
Yang Banan and Sun Changhe rolled their eyes when they heard this. They said it so seriously, but it turned out to be just intuition? Can intuition also be used as a basis for formulating combat plans?
However, Leng Tiefeng, Wan Zhongshan and the others nodded subconsciously.
Yang Banan and Sun Changhe had only joined the Independent Regiment for a short period of time, and they had not yet seen the terrifying power of Xu Rui's intuition. However, Wan Zhongshan and the others, especially Leng Tiefeng, had seen Xu Rui's intuition. They must admit that Xu Rui's
Intuition is really 10,000 times sharper than that of wild beasts!
In Leng Tiefeng's impression, Xu Rui's intuition seemed to have never been wrong!
Xu Rui smiled and said: "Since the little devil Dong Jiu Nianyan has already landed from Pukou and delivered it to his door, then this matter is simple, and we don't need to rush to the Dabie Mountains.
We're going to play hide and seek with the little devils, and we'll wait for them at Damei Mountain."
After saying that, Xu Rui said to He Guangming, Wanzhongshan, and Xu Dekun: "Go back and assemble your troops right now, march toward Pucheng overnight, and then set up an ambush near Qiaotou Town, trying to give the Japanese a powerful blow!"
"Yes!" He Guangming, Wan Zhongshan and Xu Dekun took the order. Xu Rui said to the cavalry battalion commander Tiegang, "Gangzi, you led the cavalry battalion to ambush in the woods near Huangjiawazi. Lao He and the others ambush
After the enemy succeeds, the enemy will most likely send out a cavalry unit to chase him, and then he will give the enemy's cavalry unit a ruthless blow."
"Yes!" Tiegang stood at attention, then turned around and walked away. Xu Rui finally cast his eyes on Leng Tiefeng and said in a deep voice, "Give the Langya team members two hours to go home and settle the funeral arrangements. After two hours,
Set off on time."
(Dividing line)
Ogawara Shunsi strode into Hata Shunroku's office with a saber on his shoulder, then stood at attention and bowed to Hata Shunroku: "Your Excellency, General!"
Oluhara Junsi drove back all night. From the time he received the call to now, it only took less than forty minutes. Just like Oluhara Junsi's character, he was in a hurry.
"Ogahara-san, you came back so quickly." Shunroku Hata stood up and returned the greeting, and invited Ogahara Shunsi to take a seat. However, Ogahara Shunsi turned around and made an invitation to Kawabe Shozo, who was standing next to him, and waited for him.
He only agreed to sit down after Bian Zhengsan took his seat. After sitting down, his upper body still maintained a straight posture.
Shunroku Hata picked up the tea set, poured a cup of kung fu tea for Shunsi Okahara with his own hands, and asked: "Ogahara-san, how is the training of the special operations brigade?"
"Hai." Ogawara Junsi paused and said, "The special operations brigade has been trained into an army. We only need to give the order from the general to stab the enemy with a thunderous sword."
"Yo Xi." Shunroku Hata nodded happily and added, "Then now, the opportunity for your special operations team to show off your skills has come."
Oluhara Junsi immediately stood up, paused and said: "Your Excellency, General, give me the order!"
"Sit down, sit down and talk, please sit down and talk." Shunroku Hata waved to Shunsi Okahara to sit down again, then turned to Kawabe Shozo and said, "Kawabe-san, please introduce the situation to Okahara-san first."
Kawabe Shozo told Ogawara Shunsi from beginning to end about the landing of the 10th Division from Pukou led by Higashikata Nakihiko and the two men's inferences.
Shunroku Hata continued: "Oshigabara-san, Kawabe-san and I are very worried about the safety of His Highness Nakihiko. Previously, His Highness Toshihiko's broken jade has caused the imperial army and the royal family to lose face in the world. This time, if His Highness Nakihiko does it again,
If anything, the Imperial Army will really become an international laughing stock."
Ogawara Junsi's expression immediately became extremely serious, and he paused and said: "Hai, if His Highness Nurihiko has any good intentions again, it will indeed be very embarrassing for the Imperial Army and the Empire of Japan, because from ancient times to the present,
From Japan to the West, there has never been any army where the commander was assassinated continuously."
Shunroku Hata said: "Therefore, we must completely ensure the safety of His Highness Nikihiko, and we must not let him have any accidents again. And this severe task, Ogahara-san, only your special operations brigade can bear, because this time
Our opponent is Xu Rui’s Wolf Fang troops.”
"Hai." Ogawara Junsi stood up again, paused and said, "In this humble position, I will do my best to ensure the safety of His Highness Nianyan."
Shunroku Hata waved his hand, and then said: "Okahara-san, just ensuring the safety of His Highness Nurihiko, I'm afraid it's not enough."
Oluhara Junsi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and said: "What your Excellency, the general, means..."
Hata Shunroku didn't answer and asked instead: "Okahara-san, you are so smart, did you really not think of it?"
Oluhara Junsi's expression changed when he heard this, and said: "General, do you mean to oppose beheading?"
"Yes, counter-decapitation!" Shunroku Hata's skinny face showed a ferocious look as he said, "Xu Rui is the founder of his Spike Force, and he himself is an extremely excellent special forces soldier, so if
If nothing unexpected happens, Xu Rui will definitely personally direct this decapitation operation. The task of your special operations team is not only to ensure the safety of His Highness Nianyan, but also to take this opportunity to carry out a counter-decapitation operation against Xu Rui!"
Hebian Zhengzo continued: "There is a cloud in ancient China, which will be the soul of the army. As long as Xu Rui is eradicated, the Dameishan Independent Regiment will immediately lose its soul and become vulnerable!"
"Understood!" Oluhara Junsi nodded heavily and said, "You must do your best for your humble position."
"No, Ogahara-san, just trying your best is not enough." Shunroku Hata said quietly, "This operation can only succeed, not fail, please!"
After saying that, Shunroku Hata gave a heavy nod to Shunsi Ogahara.
"Hai." Oluhara Junsi paused again and said solemnly, "I will live up to the trust of your Excellency, the general. I will kill Xu Rui with my own hands this time."
