Chapter 44: Lao Tzu fights the elite

Although he did not directly change the clothes of the whole brigade, Xu Wen was not discouraged, because his independent brigade was in high spirits after experiencing the baptism and encouragement of last night's battle.

Moreover, almost all of those who have survived from Shanghai to the present are veterans with rich combat experience.

There are also complete fortifications to rely on in Wuxi, and they have captured so many Japanese-style weapons and ammunition, so there is no need to worry about weapons and ammunition.

The most important thing is that Xu Wen's tank battalion and air defense battalion have a total of dozens of armed combat vehicles, and when necessary, these two teams can be used intensively.

Just imagine how powerful an assault would be with a Tiger tank at the head, followed by ten No. 4 tanks, followed by fifteen armored vehicles and thirty Humvee military vehicles.

With such a powerful firepower, what can the 6th Division match with?

What's more, Xu Wen also has the help of the system, as long as he can hold on for seven days, he can get 500,000 exchange points, and when the time comes, he can exchange more advanced weapons and equipment, and the firepower of the independent brigade will be even stronger.

In terms of talents, Zhou Weiguo and Chen Zhenglun are both very good commanders, both wise and brave, and the following regiment commanders are also veterans who crawled out of the pile of dead, so Xu Wen is full of confidence in the battle of Wuxi.

Subsequently, Xu Wen took out the exchanged tanks, armored vehicles, and armed military vehicles for air defense from the portable warehouse and assigned them to the tank battalion and the air defense battalion.

After all this, Xu Wencai returned to the brigade headquarters with two guards.

As for the commander of the tank battalion, Li Wu, he was left in the tank battalion to receive new equipment and integrate combat strength.

Around the time when Xu Wen had just returned to the brigade headquarters, Fang Shengli, the commander of the air defense battalion, hurriedly ran back with a few soldiers.

When he saw Xu Wen, he immediately stood up and saluted: "Brigade." ”

Xu Wen bowed slightly, he remembered that before the reorganization of the troops, Fang Shengli was sent by Zhou Weiguo to conduct intelligence reconnaissance.

So asked: "Victory, how is the situation?" Did you spot any enemies? ”

Fang Shengli hurriedly replied: "Yes, the Japanese 6th Division is less than thirty miles away from us, and its vanguard is even closer, less than fifteen miles. ”

Xu Wen immediately said: "Go, go in and say." He took the lead and walked into the headquarters.

It happened that Zhou Weiguo and Chen Zhenglun were there, and seeing Fang Shengli coming back in a hurry, Zhou Weiguo immediately asked, "What's wrong?" Hostile? ”

Xu Wen nodded and said, "That's right, Shengli has discovered the devil, and the vanguard is already less than fifteen miles away from us." ”

Chen Zhenglun and Zhou Weiguo all looked pale, and Chen Zhenglun asked, "How many Japanese soldiers are there?" What is the unit number? ”

Fang Shengli replied: "It is observed that the attack is the 6th Division of the Japanese Army, with at least twenty or thirty thousand troops!" There were infantry and cavalry, as well as tanks, armored units and heavy artillery units. ”

After hearing this, Chen Zhenglun turned to Xu Wen and said: "Brigade seat, this sixth division is the elite ace army of the Japanese army, we can't take it lightly!" ”

Zhou Weiguo nodded and said: "Well, when I was studying in Germany, I specialized in studying the formation of the Japanese Army, judging from the number, this sixth division is definitely the elite of the Japanese army, and I am afraid that there will be a tragic battle next." ”

Xu Wen said disappreciatively: "It doesn't matter what the hell is elite or not, Lao Tzu is the elite!" ”

After speaking, Xu Wen turned his head and asked Fang Shengli and said, "Victory, just now you said that the enemy's vanguard is less than fifteen miles away from us?" How many of them are there? Is it cavalry or infantry? ”

Fang Shengli hurriedly replied: "It's all cavalry, there must be thousands of people!" It's probably less than ten miles away now! ”

Xu Wen said to Zhou Weiguo and the others: "See, the little devil doesn't know how powerful we are, and he dares to go deep alone with a thousand troops!" I want to teach them a lesson! ”

"Pass my order, the tank battalion and the air defense battalion will immediately assemble and follow me out of the city to kill these devil cavalry!"

"Yes!" A herald outside the door suddenly agreed, and immediately ran away from the herald.

Fang Shengli said with some concern: "Brigade seat, the enemy's main force is less than twenty miles away from the vanguard, and a rapid march can arrive in half an hour at most, is it too risky for you to take the initiative now?" ”

Chen Zhenglun also felt that it was inappropriate, and persuaded: "Brigade seat, the enemy's strength is several times more than ours, and there are advantages in navy, air force and firepower, is it better for us to hold our position?" It's too risky to be proactive. ”

Zhou Weiguo didn't say anything, Xu Wen continued: "You are wrong, we now have dozens of very advanced tanks and armored vehicles, and the firepower is very strong, and it only takes one assault to defeat the vanguard of the devils.

So, there is no need to worry at all that their follow-up main forces will pose a threat to us!

It is precisely because the enemy is outnumbered that we must seize every opportunity to consume the enemy as much as possible, and to take out some of them.

Destroy their vanguard cavalry unit first, frustrate the enemy's spirit, and it will be more conducive to the next defense! ”

Zhou Weiguo felt that what Xu Wen said made sense, and nodded happily: "Brother Zhu is right, I will take the tank battalion and the air defense battalion with you to attack!" ”

Xu Wen remembered that Zhou Weiguo was also a special forces soldier in Germany, so he should be able to drive a tank, and his tactical command ability was also very good, so he nodded in agreement, and then said to Chen Zhenglun: "Chief of Staff, I and Weiguo will lead the team to attack, and the brigade headquarters will be handed over to you." ”

"Don't worry, you must be more careful, if you can't do anything, then withdraw quickly, I will make the first and second regiments ready to respond." Chen Zhenglun nodded happily and instructed uneasily.

Xu Wen nodded slightly, and said victoriously to the other party: "Victory, from now on you are the commander of the air defense battalion, come with me and Weiguo to attack!" ”

"Yes!" Fang Shengli was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately took the order.

Five minutes later, Xu Wen, Zhou Weiguo, Fang Shengli, Li Wu and others, leading all the officers and men of the tank battalion and the air defense battalion, drove 15 tanks, 15 armored vehicles, and 30 armed air defense Humvee military vehicles out of the city from the east gate of Wuxi and made a detour in the direction of the south gate.

The vanguard of the devils was at the south gate, and the reason why Xu Wen went out of the city from the east gate was to conceal his whereabouts and deal a fatal blow to the devil's cavalry.

When Xu Wen and Zhou Weiguo led the team in a roundabout, the vanguard of the Japanese cavalry, which had arrived about five miles south of Wuxi, stopped.

Because not far in front is the field defense position of the independent battalion outside Wuxi, this devil vanguard unit comes from the 6th Cavalry Wing of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army, led by the captain of the 1st Cavalry Brigade Kuroshima Kiichi Nakasa.

Seeing that Wuxi City was close at hand, Kuroshima Kiichi, who was the urgent vanguard of the whole division, rode a horse and held a telescope to observe, and immediately ordered the next adjutant: "Order the 1st Squadron and the 3rd Squadron to dismount and advance on foot to test the reality of the Xiazhina Army!" ”

The adjutant was puzzled: "Sir, before setting out, the wing commander and the division headquarters strictly ordered us not to go deep alone and attack without authorization, and after arriving in Wuxi, we were on standby on the spot, waiting for the arrival of the main force of the division and regiment before attacking. ”

"Yaga! We are the vanguard, and our task is to clear some obstacles for the main force of the division and regiment, and now we are testing the reality of the lower branch army, which is also conducive to the next main attack, and quickly carry out the order! Kuroshima Kiichi was immediately displeased and shouted loudly.

The adjutant did not dare to disobey, and with a wave of his hand, about sixty devil cavalry dismounted one after another, and under the leadership of a cavalry second lieutenant, slowly walked forward with guns in hand.
