Chapter 611 The overall situation has been decided
When Xu Rui returned to the temporary headquarters at the foot of Houtou Ridge, the front, middle, and rear clusters deployed by the Tenth Division along the Qingfeng Mountain Road had all been defeated. The resistance of the established structures had collapsed, although there were still more than one group.
Thousands of Japanese soldiers fled into the mountains, but in this desolate mountain, these Japanese had no way to escape. Sooner or later they would be captured or starve to death.
So on the way back, Xu Rui was even thinking about the wording of the broadcast script. This time the Japanese 10th Division was completely wiped out, so he had to make a fuss about it. Xu Rui certainly didn't expect to get promoted and make a fortune based on this credit.
But he knew very well what kind of sensation this news would cause when it spread!
Fame and fortune, fame and fortune have always been one.
With fame, all kinds of benefits will come one after another.
Xu Rui doesn't need some benefits, but he does need some benefits!
For example, Xu Rui needs such benefits when young students join, and the more the better, but young students from all over the country will not come for no reason. You have to show real achievements to attract them.
The previous defense battle of Feicheng attracted young students from one regiment. After the news of the annihilation of the 10th Division of Little Japan spread, how could it attract young students from another regiment, right?
Another example is the attitude of Western powers.
In fact, the Western powers are not willing to sit back and watch Japan invade China. If possible, they still don't mind making small moves secretly to make it more difficult for little Japan. This is just because China is too close to Japan and too far from the West. The powers consider the cost.
It was really too high, so I kept giving in.
However, if they find that the Chinese are enough to cause trouble for little Japan, they will never mind making trouble secretly, such as selling more weapons or equipment to China. Anyway, this is just a piece of cake for the Western powers, and they can also make a big impact from it
Make a fortune, why don't you do this?
For example, the Soviet Union's aid to China was like this.
Another example is the United States' aid to China after the Pacific War. The same principle applies.
There has never been love without reason in this world, and there has never been hatred without reason. The reason why the Western powers extend a helping hand to you is because they are asking for something. We can be grateful, but we must not do it because of the Western powers.
China's aid carries heavy moral shackles because it belongs to national interests.
However, due to the poor performance of the Nationalist Army in the Battle of Songhu, the Battle of Nanjing and the Battle of Xuzhou, the Western powers completely lost confidence in the Nationalist Government and the Nationalist Army, so they were reluctant to provide assistance to the Nationalist Government because they felt that the Nationalist Government
Destruction is inevitable, and providing assistance to the National Government at this time is likely to be in vain.
As for the Soviet Union, the reason why it provided massive assistance to the Nationalist Government was to hold back Japan.
The Soviet Union did not want Japan to solve China's problems in a short time. Even if it could not help China defeat Japan, it would at least help China persist until the situation on the European continent became clear. It was based on this consideration that the Soviet Union provided the National Government with
Fifty million US dollars in low-interest loans to purchase Soviet-style ordnance.
Xu Rui cannot represent the National Government, and the independent group cannot have diplomatic power, so it is impossible to seek loans from Western powers at the national level. However, it is still possible to buy a batch of weapons and equipment from the United States through David, an arms dealer.
, after all, Xu Rui didn’t ask for it for free, but was willing to give gold in exchange.
The Independent Regiment had a glorious record of annihilating the 10th Division. David would be more confident when negotiating with the U.S. government on behalf of the Independent Regiment, and his demands would be more easily met.
Xu Rui now urgently wants a small steel plant and a small chemical plant.
Wu Qian's teacher has already developed it, but without a chemical factory, it cannot be produced. Just relying on glassware in the laboratory is simply a drop in the bucket and of no use. As for the steel plant, let alone the steel plant, if there is no steel plant
, the arsenal is simply a decoration.
Therefore, Xu Rui decided to make a fuss about the complete annihilation of the 10th Division.
Of course, such a big publicity also has a side effect, that is, it will attract the hatred of the little devils.
However, Xu Rui didn't mind this, because through the information obtained from the Fuxing Society in Jiangnan, even the Emperor of Japan already knew his name and called him the mortal enemy of the empire, so no matter how much publicity, the situation would not be the same.
It has become worse than it is now. As the saying goes, there are too many fleas to bite.
While thinking about it, Xu Rui walked into the regiment headquarters.
As a result, as soon as he entered the regiment headquarters, he met Wang Husheng.
Because Wang Husheng had endured several Tongxiao attacks in a row, he really couldn't hold on before the general attack. Moreover, he also felt that the general attack could not bring results so quickly and could not last for several days, so he went back and took a nap.
I had just woken up, and when I saw Xu Rui, I yawned and asked, "Old Xu, how was the battle?"
"What else can we do?" Xu Rui said, "Just like that."
"That's it?" Wang Husheng said with a wry smile, "I told you that the attack would not go smoothly, but you still didn't believe it."
"It didn't go well?" Xu Rui shook his head and said with a smile, "Political Commissar, you are wrong. The battle went smoothly."
"Very smooth?" Wang Husheng was stunned for a moment and asked, "What kind of smooth method? Already killed one of the Japanese? One brigade or two brigade? Is it a coalition?"
Xu Rui kept shaking his head, just smiling and saying nothing.
"Old Xu, are you trying to kill me?" Wang Husheng stamped his feet and said, "Tell me, what's going on?"
Xu Rui then smiled and said: "Look at how anxious you are, the overall situation in this battle has been decided. The 10th Division has lost its organized resistance. Although there are still a large number of broken troops who fled into the mountains and are still resisting.
However, since they cannot find supplies and drinking water, it will only be a matter of time before these Japanese troops are defeated or surrender."
Wang Husheng was immediately confused when he heard this. Really, all of them were wiped out?
The Japanese Tenth Division, one of the seventeen permanent divisions, was completely wiped out by their independent regiment?
Isn't this a dream? Wang Husheng couldn't believe it and said, "Old Xu, come and pinch me."
"Political commissar, what are you doing?" Xu Rui grabbed the water bottle on the canvas table and took a big sip, and then said, "I tell you, this is a real thing, you are not dreaming at all."
"Isn't this a dream?" Wang Husheng finally came to his senses and then looked up to the sky and laughed.
Xu Rui waved his hand in front of Wang Husheng's eyes and asked worriedly: "Political Commissar, are you okay?"
"Get off, I'm not crazy." Wang Husheng slapped Xu Rui's claws away and said, "After such a great victory, you are not allowed to look up to the sky and laugh three times? Really."
"Okay, okay, you can laugh." Xu Rui said, "You can laugh nine times as long as you like."
"Don't laugh, it's boring." Wang Husheng snorted and continued, "Well, Comrade Xu Rui, since you won such a big victory this time, the organization decided to reward you well."
"Reward me?" Xu Rui immediately became energetic, "What will you reward me for?"
"A pen." Wang Husheng took his favorite gold pen from his coat pocket and said, "Parker brand."
"Hey, just a pen? Or is it the leftover one you used?" Xu Rui said angrily, "Commissar, you are really picky."
"Then what do you think the organization will reward you with, a high-ranking official? A big salary?" Wang Husheng snorted, "Someone actually promised you a high-ranking official and a big salary. Chairman Chiang said that as long as you believe in the Three People's Principles, you will be rewarded immediately.
You can be appointed as Lieutenant General, and you are also the commander of the Central Army. As for which group army you will go to, it is up to you!"
While talking, Wang Husheng took out a secret message and handed it to Xu Rui.
Xu Rui took a look at the telegram and found that the secret telegram was given by Dai Li to Lao Mao of Feicheng Station of the Fuxing Society. Lao Mao then forwarded the secret telegram to Sun Changhe. As a result, Sun Changhe changed hands and gave the telegram to Wang Husheng. Lao Mao did not
I know that Sun Changhe, Yang Banan and the Central Military Academy students who came with them have all joined.
It is said that the eyes of the masses are sharp, but in fact, the eyes of soldiers are even brighter.
Since Sun Changhe and Yang Banan joined the Independent Group, they have paid close attention to everyone's words and deeds. They found that the propaganda of the National Government was all lies, and they were afraid of comparison in everything. Sun Changhe, Yang Banan
When they compare the Kuomintang with the Kuomintang, it can be said that they are judging one from another.
Compared with the Kuomintang, which is dedicated to doing practical things for the people, the Kuomintang is really not that bad.
After making such a discovery, Sun Changhe and Yang Banan's beliefs naturally changed.
"Tsk, tsk, Chairman Chiang is still the same as always, he only knows how to write bad checks." Xu Rui said cheerfully, "If he is really sincere in asking me to be the commander of an army, he should send all the soldiers and equipment of an army.
Come to Damei Mountain and allocate all the funds an army needs for a year's operations. That would be called openness."
Wang Husheng said: "They want you to become the commander of the Central Army, and they also transported soldiers and equipment to Damei Mountain. You are beautiful."
Xu Rui shook his head and said: "This is Chairman Chiang's biggest weakness. He always likes to divide the army into groups. Even within the Central Army, there are many hills. On the surface, doing so will make it impossible to form a unified army.
With a unified voice, Chiang Kai-shek can maintain his detached status through mediation, thereby preventing military power from slipping away. Over the years, Chairman Chiang has firmly controlled military power through this method."
After a pause, Xu Rui added: "Who knows that what he did will also cause the army to fall into great internal strife. When the real danger comes, the local army will count on the central army, and the central army will count on the local army to act as cannon fodder.
They will only shirk responsibility blindly, who is willing to really do their best?"
"Old Xu, what you said is really to the point. How are you going to reply?"
"Reply?" Xu Rui said, "Why reply? Am I very free?"
Wang Husheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he pointed at Xu Rui and said with a smile: "You."
