"I don't have to wait for you?" Zhou Weiguo looked at Xu Wen with some surprise and said, "Brother Zhu, what do you mean by this?" ”

"It's not interesting, if you don't succeed here, you'll be benevolent!." Xu Wen touched his bald head, patted Zhou Weiguo's arm again, and said with a smile: "Weiguo, it is my honor for Zhu Ziming to meet you, if I can't come back, you and Zhenglun will continue to fight with the Independent Brigade and pass on the spirit of our Independent Brigade!" ”

Zhou Weiguo suddenly understood that Zhu Ziming was going to break the cauldron and fight against the water, so he immediately asked to take the initiative and asked: "Brother Zhu, take the initiative this time, I want to lead the team with you!" ”

Xu Wendao: "Wei Guo, you and the chief of staff stay just in case, there is no need to follow me to take risks, not to mention the tank battalion, the air defense battalion is enough to be led by me." ”

Zhou Weiguo said very resolutely: "No, this time the initiative is unpredictable, I must act with you." ”

Seeing that Xu Wen was going to persuade him again, Zhou Weiguo said to him with a sincere face: "Big brother, since we are brothers, we should share difficulties!" No matter how dangerous this operation is, I will advance and retreat with you, and live and die together! ”

"Good!" It was difficult to resist the enthusiasm, Xu Wen didn't say more, and directly agreed to Zhou Weiguo's request, leaving Chen Zhenglun in command.

He and Zhou Weiguo walked out of the brigade headquarters, and Xu Wenxiang stood at the door waiting for Wu Yongqiang and ordered: "Fourth, you immediately pass on my order, the tank battalion and the air defense battalion immediately assemble at the north gate!" ”

"Yes!" Wu Yongqiang took the order with a bang, and after saluting Xu Wen and Zhou Weiguo, he quickly turned around and ran out.

Fifteen minutes later, the tank battalion, which had just rested for a long time, and all the personnel and equipment of the air defense battalion came to the open space outside the north gate of Wuxi.

Because there is a huge Wuxi City in front of it, there is no need to be afraid of being discovered by devils here, and all tanks, armored vehicles, and Humvee military vehicles have turned on their lights.

Surrounded by Zhou Weiguo, Wu Yongqiang and others, Xu Wen came to the front of the team, stood on the Tiger tank illuminated by countless headlights, and looked at the tanks, armored vehicles and subordinates above him.

He said in a deep voice: "Brothers, the brigade headquarters has just received news that a large number of Japanese troops are coming from the direction of Shanghai to reinforce them!" If they are allowed to reach Wuxi, it will be a disaster for our independent brigade.

Therefore, Deputy Brigade Commander Zhou and I decided to take you to take the initiative again to find and kill the enemy's commander!

As long as we knock out the enemy's headquarters, we will be able to inflict a heavy defeat on the Japanese army! Hold Wuxi!

I hope you can work hard and take the lead! Make new contributions! ”

After speaking, Xu Wen changed his words and said: "Brothers, in fact, before leaving, I still have to say some things.

We are running out of fuel and ammunition, and if we don't fight this battle well, we may not be able to come back!

If anyone is scared and scared, you can bring it up now, and I will not be embarrassed, and immediately send him the passage money and let him go home! ”

"Nope!" Li Wu, Sun Fugui and other veterans of Qingfeng Village took the lead in responding loudly with their throats.

A platoon commander from Sichuan looked at Xu Wen and Zhou Weiguo with red eyes, and roared loudly: "Sir, my three brothers all died in Shanghai, I have a common enmity with the Japanese devils, and the brothers are all dead, what does it mean for me to go back alive?"

Therefore, whoever goes Lao Tzu will not leave, I will stay and avenge my brothers and fellow villagers! Just give the order! ”

"Yes, we won't leave either, we will stay and kill the devil and avenge the dead brothers!" Those who can be selected for the tank battalion and air defense battalion are all veterans who escaped from the battle of Songhu.

It can be said that each of them is burdened with a sea of blood and hatred, and out of trust and respect for Xu Wen, no matter how dangerous Xu Wen says about the situation, they will not leave the team as deserters at this time.

The love and righteousness of the war years are the most precious and solid, following Xu Wen's birth and death, and fighting so many big battles one after another, Xu Wen's personal prestige and charm have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Now that Xu Wen is determined to break the cauldron and fight against the water, these soldiers will naturally follow.

Seeing the reactions of the soldiers of the two battalions, Xu Wen nodded with satisfaction, and raised his arms with some excitement and shouted: "Very good, worthy of my Zhu Ziming's soldiers, they are all good!" Now I order to march to the west immediately, and after crossing the Yangliu River, blow up the bridges immediately! This battle! If you don't succeed, you will be a benevolent! ”

"Yes!" The officers and men of the tank battalion and the air defense battalion boarded their vehicles one after another and quickly drove the tanks and armored vehicles to the northwest of Wuxi.

In order to ensure the concealment of the operation, Xu Wen and Zhou Weiguo specially selected the crossing point 20 kilometers northwest of Wuxi, which is a very long distance.

Even if there is a lot of artillery fire here, it will be difficult for the devils to find out.

Therefore, after all the tanks and armored vehicles crossed the river, Xu Wen, in order to motivate the fighting spirit of his officers and soldiers, ordered artillery to blow up the steel bridge built by engineering vehicles.

Anyway, as long as you can successfully kill the old devil of Chaoxiang Palace, there will be five million exchange points reward, and what will you want when the time comes, let alone make a steel bridge, a hundred are trivial.

Moreover, if he really killed Prince Hatohiko of Asaka Palace, Xu Wen would no longer have to sneak across the river, and it would not be a problem to directly expand the tank battalion and air defense battalion into a tank armored regiment and fight back from the rear of the devil.

In order to avoid the eyes of the Japanese army, Xu Wen, Zhou Weiguo and others specially detoured to the west for nearly ten kilometers, almost sticking to the Taihu Lake to march south.

Because the system has not been able to detect the exact location of Prince Hatohiko of Asaka Palace for the time being, it is likely that this old devil is still in Shanghai and has not moved.

Therefore, Xu Wen decided to lead his troops to march southward to shorten the distance between the system and Prince Hatohiko of Asakanomiya, so as to facilitate the detection of the system.

For this reason, he and Zhou Weiguo led their troops on a rapid march all the way, detoured back to the rear of the 6th Division, bypassed Suzhou from behind them, and finally returned to the field south of Suzhou before dawn and lurked.

Prince Hatohiko of Chaoxiang Palace came to Wuxi from Shanghai to supervise the war, and there are no more than two roads to take, one is the Beijing-Shanghai railway, and the other is the highway, so Xu Wen and their lurking place is not far from these two traffic arteries.

The accurate detection distance of the system is twenty kilometers, as long as Prince Hatohiko of Asakamiya enters this range, with the mobility of the tank battalion and the air defense battalion, Xu Wen is absolutely sure that he will kill them with a rush!

It is said that Prince Hatohiko of Asaka Palace, an old devil, was disturbed by his dreams at night, so he slept until nine o'clock in the morning the next day before waking up.

After washing up, when I walked out of the residence after breakfast, I happened to meet Muto Zhang, and seeing Muto Zhang's anxious appearance, Prince Hatohiko of Asakaya asked, "Muto-kun, why are you so flustered?" ”

"General, aren't you going to rush to Wuxi in person to take command? The troops of the 9th and 11th Divisions had already set off for several hours, and should have arrived in the area of Suzhou by now.

The commander of the 6th Division, General Gu Shoufu, called many times to ask for news about the reinforcements and you, but he didn't dare to report it for fear of disturbing your rest, and when he heard that you were awake, he hurried over! Muto Akira hurriedly came to Hatohiko of Asaka Palace and stood up and saluted.

"The 9th and 11th Divisions have arrived in Suzhou? It's fast! Prince Hatohiko of Chaoxiang Palace nodded with great satisfaction and said: "You call Gu Shoufu back immediately, tell him that I will go to Wuxi before tonight, let his troops continue to attack, and don't give the Chinese army a chance to breathe!" ”

"Also, inform the guards and get ready to go."

"Is the general going to take the train, or by car?" Muto asked cautiously.

"Train!" Prince Hatohiko of Asakanomiya came from a royal family, so of course he preferred a safer and more comfortable train.

"Hai, let's arrange it." Muto Akira paused in understanding, and immediately turned to leave.
