"Is it related to the 799th Regiment?" Chairman Chiang immediately became more energetic.
Now the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army is Chairman Chiang's hero. He wanted to know all the information related to the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army. He asked excitedly: "What did Xu Rui say in the announcement?"
Wang Shihe opened the telegram and said: "The announcement stated that more than 500 remnants of the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army successfully captured Jiujiang City at 8 o'clock this morning after three hours of fierce fighting and destroyed the headquarters of the Japanese Eleventh Army. However, they were immediately attacked.
The Japanese army counterattacked. After half an hour of fierce fighting, almost all the members of the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army were killed. Only a dozen seriously wounded soldiers were left to follow Xu Rui, seize a Japanese Navy gunboat from Jiujiang Pier, and break through the encirclement through the waterway?"
"What, everyone died in the battle?!" Chairman Chiang's expression suddenly changed.
He Yingqin and Chen Cheng also looked at each other, not expecting this to happen.
"Yes." Wang Shihe nodded and replied, "Including regimental commander Zhao Baishi, first battalion commander Li Sijin, second battalion commander Hou Zhigang, and third battalion commander Xue Laoyao, almost all of the five hundred people died in the battle."
"What?" Chairman Jiang was surprised again, "Zhao Baishi also died in the battle?"
At this time, Dai Li, who was standing beside him with his hands down, couldn't help but said: "It's wrong to entrust the throne."
Wang Shihe turned to look at Dai Li and said, "Director Dai, is there anything wrong with what I said?"
"No, brother Shihe, don't get me wrong, I didn't say you were wrong." Dai Li quickly waved his hand and explained, "I mean, there is something wrong with Xu Rui's announcement, he is lying!"
"Lying?" Wang Shihe frowned and asked, "Do you have any basis for it?"
"Of course." Dai Li nodded and replied, "In the Japanese military messages intercepted by our technical section, it was repeatedly mentioned that the remnants of the Sichuan Army's 799th Regiment that broke out from Jiujiang should have about 400 troops, and it was definitely not as Xu Rui said
Nearly all the members of the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army were killed in the battle. In this matter, the Japanese seemed to have no need to slap themselves, so it was impossible to lie, so the only one who lied was Xu Rui."
"Then this is strange." Chen Cheng said, "Why did Xu Rui lie? There is no reason."
"No reason? Brother Ci Xiu, you are wrong." He Yingqin took over the conversation and said, "Xu Rui did this for a very good reason, because he wanted to recruit the remnants of the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army, but he was afraid of causing trouble.
There was a dispute between the two parties, so they deliberately issued an announcement saying that all members of the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army would die for the country."
"Can this happen?" Chen Cheng said, "Xu Rui can't be so shameless, can he?"
"Brother Ci Xiu, you still don't believe it." He Yingqin shook his head and said, "Xu Rui has a criminal record. When Xu Rui brought the so-called 79th Brigade to Dameishan, he had not yet established a stable foothold. The commander of the 180th Division asked
Tianhu sent a cavalry battalion south to help Xu Rui, but the cavalry battalion was captured by Xu Rui. Until the 180th Division was completely destroyed on the Huainan battlefield, Xu Rui never allowed the cavalry battalion to return to the battlefield.
"
What He Yingqin said is indeed true, but it is not the case.
But Chairman Chiang believed it to be true. At that time, he slapped the case heavily and said angrily: "Shameless, absolutely shameless!"
After a little calming down the anger in his chest, Chairman Jiang said: "Jing Zhi, immediately send a report to the New Fourth Army and tell Ye Ting and Xiang Ying that the 799th Regiment is the main regiment under the jurisdiction of the 133rd Division, and the side is not allowed to do so.
If he is detained for any reason or in any way, the 799th Regiment must be released unconditionally and returned to the army!"
"Yes!" He Yingqin stood at attention and turned around.
Dividing line
Let's talk about Xu Rui. He took more than 200 remnants of the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army, plus more than 100 remnants of the Jiujiang Guard Brigade, and took two gunboats of the Japanese Navy eastward along the Yangtze River. Because they were going down the river, they sailed at a faster speed.
, it lasted for twenty knots, and we arrived near Liudu Town in Wuwei County around ten o'clock in the evening.
Before that, Xu Rui had already contacted Wang Husheng via radio.
Seeing the two gunboats going down the river, Wang Husheng knew that Xu Rui had arrived, and immediately ordered people to set up bonfires on the river beach. Under the night sky, the three red bonfires looked very eye-catching.
Seeing the fire, Xu Rui immediately ordered the gunboat to turn and sail towards the river.
Until the two gunboats ran aground one after another, Xu Rui ordered to abandon the ship and all the crew waded into the water to land.
By the river, Wang Husheng had already been waiting with Sai Hongfu and others. When he saw Xu Rui approaching, Sai Hongfu, who had been as cold as ice just now, could no longer control himself and jumped into the knee-deep river water towards Xu Rui.
Seeing Sai Hongfu coming over through the water, Xu Rui didn't care that he was in front of others, and quickly picked up Sai Hongfu around his waist, while saying extremely nervously: "Baby, you are pregnant, don't catch a cold."
Although Sai Hongfu has always been fierce, she was held in Xu Rui's arms in front of so many people, and she didn't even have the chance to call her baby. She couldn't help but blush with embarrassment, but her heart felt like she had drunk honey, not to mention how sweet it was.
At this time, Xiao Taohong also rushed over, hugged Sai Hongfu tightly from behind, and kept shouting "Miss" while crying with joy.
Seeing the three people hugging each other and crying sweetly, the Sichuan troops who followed them off the boat couldn't help but boo.
Xu Rui hugged Sai Hongfu, turned around and said with a smile: "Why are you making fun of me? It's natural for a man to have his own wife."
After saying that, Xu Rui ignored the Sichuan Army veterans and went straight to the shore with Saihong Fu in his arms. Only when he reached the shore did Xu Rui let Saihong Fu down and specifically told Xiao Taohong to change her shoes and not to freeze them.
Xiao Taohong agreed and helped Sai Hongfu away. Sai Hongfu did not pester Xu Rui any more, because she knew that her man still had business to deal with. As for the love between husband and wife, they had a lot of time.
yes.
Wang Husheng then came forward with Cherev and Stilwell.
Regarding the scene just now, Cherev and Stilwell did not feel that it was against their will.
However, Wang Husheng felt a little resentful and whispered: "I say Lao Xu, before you make love with your wife, can you first consider the feelings of us bachelors?"
Xu Rui repeated the old conversation: "Who told you not to marry a wife?"
Wang Husheng could only smile bitterly, and then pulled Cherev and Stillwell over and introduced him: "Old Xu, let me introduce these two guests to you. This Cherev is the Soviet Minister to China, and this is Steve.
Brigadier General Wei, the U.S. military attache in China, they came to Dameishan this time specifically to visit you."
After speaking, Wang Husheng pointed at Xu Rui and said to Cherev and Stilwell: "Mr. Cherev, General Stilwell, this is the commander of our Dameishan Military Division, Xu Rui."
"Commander Xu, it's an honor to meet you." Cherev bowed his head slightly in greeting.
Stilwell paid the American military salute, and then said in blunt Chinese: "Welcome to you for a long time."
This long-admired name immediately narrowed the distance between the three people. Xu Rui smiled and said in English: "Mr. Cherev and General Stilwell, I have also long-admired you two!"
Xu Rui's words were not all nonsense. Cherev didn't know that he had definitely admired Stilwell for a long time.
Because in four years, Stilwell will become the Chief of General Staff of the Chinese Theater and will also personally direct the Chinese troops stationed in India to launch a counterattack against the Japanese army from the Burma battlefield.
However, Cherev and Stilwell only thought that Xu Rui was being polite and didn't take it seriously.
Stilwell said sincerely: "Commander Xu, when we come to Dameishan this time, we sincerely come to ask for your advice, because both Cherev and I highly admire your commanding art. We are convinced that through the conversation with you,
, I will definitely benefit a lot, and I don’t want to hide it from you. Cherev and I are about to return to China, and I will probably serve as the brigade commander."
"Really?" Xu Rui smiled slightly. Judging from the time, it was almost time for Stilwell to return to China.
Seeing the three people talking non-stop in English, Wang Husheng couldn't help but said: "Old Xu, it's windy by the river. Otherwise, we can talk about it after we return to the station?"
"Oh, yes." Xu Rui quickly raised his hands and said, "General Stilwell, Mr. Cherev, please."
Cherev and Stilwell had to force Xu Rui to leave first, but Xu Rui had no choice but to leave first. Before leaving, he did not forget to ask Leng Tiefeng to remove all the usable weapons and equipment from the two gunboats and take them away, and then take the gunboats away.
They drove it to the middle of the river and blew it up. Although the gunboat was good, they couldn't take it away, so they had no choice but to blow it up and sink it into the river.
On the way back to the camp, Wang Husheng couldn't help but ask Xu Rui: "Old Xu, what do you think?"
Xu Rui pretended to be stupid and said: "Old Wang, what are you talking about? What do I think? I don't understand."
"Stop pretending to me." Wang Husheng glanced at Cherev and Stilwell who were following him, lowered his voice and said, "Don't think that I don't know your thoughts. You deliberately issued an announcement claiming that the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army
Didn't all the soldiers die in the battle just to seize those hundreds of Sichuan Army veterans? I'm confused, our military division is so short of people? As for you to stir up trouble on Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, you have to use those registered with him
Are you detaining the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army?"
However, Xu Rui refused to admit it and suddenly said: "What you said, what I said is all true. Basically, the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army was killed in the battle, and there are only a dozen wounded left.
Look, that's what's lying on the stretcher."
"Just pretend to be with me." Wang Husheng said angrily, "This matter has already been brought to the attention of the military department. The head of the military department also sent a special telegram to question me. Even I can't be fooled by your rhetoric. You still want to
Overshadowed by the military chief? It’s just a dream.”
"Old Wang, look at what you said, why did I deceive you?" Xu Rui still refused to admit it, "Everything I said is true."
"Still pretending?" Wang Hu got angry, pointed at the Sichuan Army soldiers who were following behind him and shouted, "You said that almost all members of the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army died in the battle, so what the hell are these?"
"You mean them?" Xu Rui said, "These are all puppet troops from Jiujiang."
"Jiujiang Puppet Army?" Wang Husheng said angrily with three black lines on his forehead, "You think I am a three-year-old child? Can the Jiujiang Puppet Army speak fluent Sichuan dialect?"
"How do I know?" Xu Rui said in a very naughty tone, "Maybe he just moved to Jiujiang from Sichuan."
"You?!" Wang Husheng was choked up when he heard this. However, from Xu Rui's scoundrel behavior and refusal to admit his guilt, Wang Husheng had already realized that Xu Rui was not going to spit out the fat in his mouth. That's right, if this
If the fat in his mouth spits out, then he is no longer Xu Rui. Who knows, Xu Rui wants to take advantage if there is any advantage, and he also wants to take advantage if there is no advantage.
