The Kuomintang and the Communist Party wanted to keep the heroic unit of the provisional 79th Division at all costs, but little Japan wanted to destroy this unit that had cost them all the shame. 【】

A storm surrounding the provisional 79th Division is gradually brewing and taking shape.

Although the 79th Provisional Division killed the commander of the Shanghai Dispatch Army in Baoxing Town, Fushimi Palace Toshihiko, although this move greatly dealt a blow to the arrogance of the Japanese government and the Japanese army, and also greatly boosted the morale of the whole people, but at the same time, it also completely angered the Japanese imperial family and the Japanese government.

The Japanese imperial family has rarely been directly involved in political affairs and military affairs.

As a representative of the Japanese imperial family, although he is the chief of the army's general staff, he basically never asks about the specific affairs of the army, but this time, he crossed the base camp and the army department and directly issued a killing order to Matsui Shigen, commander of the Central China Front: At all costs, the provisional 79th Division must be eliminated

After receiving the order, Matsui immediately summoned the main responsible persons of each ministry to convene a military meeting.

Before the meeting, Matsui had the attendees circulate a nirvana signed by Miyajihito Yukanin.

After all the officers present at the meeting had read the order of killing, Matsui Shigen said gloomily: "Ladies and gentlemen, you have already read the edict of His Royal Highness the Prince of the Imperial Palace, so the seriousness of this matter does not need me to say more Here, I will add one more point, His Royal Highness Prince Fushimi Palace's jade shattering is not only a shame for the Shanghai Army, not only a shame for the Central China Front, but also a great shame for the Imperial Japanese Army and the entire empire This time, if we can't exterminate the provisional 79th Division in time, our Imperial Japanese Army and even the entire empire, will become an international laughing stock"

The officers attending the meeting hurriedly stood up in unison and shook their heads.

Matsui Ishine pressed his hands and motioned for everyone to sit down, then turned his gaze to one of the Osa-san officers and said, "Muto-san, tell me about the battle plan drawn up by your general staff. ”

Pointed out by Matsui Ishine was the deputy chief of staff of the Central China Front Army, Akira Muto.

"Hai" Muto Akira immediately stood up, first greeted Matsui Ishineton, then strode to the front of the conference room, picked up the command pole and pointed to the huge map on the wall, and began to introduce the battle plan that had just been drawn up.

"Our battle plan is like this, from the 3rd Division, the 101st Division, and the 16th Division that has just arrived at the Central China Battlefield, each with an infantry wing, from the north, south, and east to form a situation of dividing and encircling Baoxing Town, of which the 6th Infantry Wing is the closest to Baoxing Town, so this encirclement and suppression will be dominated by the 6th Infantry Wing, in addition, the Navy will also dispatch a detachment to cooperate with the blockade of the water surface of Taihu Lake west of Wuxi."

The little devil was really anxious this time, and dispatched three infantry wings at once.

But it's no wonder, who let the provisional 79th Division kill the prince of the little devil

"Yo Si." Matsui Shigen nodded, then turned his gaze to a major general present, and said, "Kawashima-san, your aviation regiment must also fully cooperate with this encirclement and suppression operation, especially the remnants of the provisional 79th Division have been broken into pieces and are breaking through in the direction of Taihu Lake, which requires the tracking and locking of your aviation regiment, understand?"

"Hello." The second person to be pointed out by Matsui Ishine was Yoshio Kawashima, commander of the Central China Front Air Corps, who quickly stood up and saluted Matsui Ishine.

Matsui Shigen's gaze turned again, fell on the third officer attending the meeting, and said: "Nakamura-san, this time the encirclement and suppression of the remnants of the provisional 79th Division, the Chinese side will definitely make every effort to obstruct it, so your secret service must strengthen the monitoring of the two worlds of China and politics, and report it immediately once it finds an abnormality."

"Haiyi" Shun Nakamura, head of the Shanghai secret service, also quickly got up and stood upright, and shook his head heavily.

Matsui Shigen's gaze swept over the faces of the remaining officers, and he said in a deep voice: "The rest of the departments must also do their own work well and fully cooperate with this encirclement and suppression. ”

"Haiyi" Everyone brushed up and paused.

Dividing line

Fifteen miles west of the town of Baoxing, Lehi was leading a platoon to the west.

Although the road on the plain was straight and wide, Lehi and the others were stunned to zigzag.

Li Hai didn't know why Xu Rui gave such an order, he didn't understand at all, if he didn't go in a straight line, why did he have to take the "zigzag", isn't this nonsense, but if he didn't understand, he didn't understand, out of trust in Xu Rui, or worship, Li Hai still strictly carried out Xu Rui's order.

However, Li Hai soon knew why Xu Rui wanted them to go.

When the troops were marching, there was a sudden buzzing roar overhead, and when Lehi looked up, he saw two planes coming out of the thin clouds, and by the rising sun, he could clearly see that the two planes were painted with plaster patterns under the wings, which were devils' planes

"Enemy plane, hide quickly, hide" Lehi quickly tore his throat and snorted.

However, no matter how fast the movement of the people was, it was impossible to outpace the plane, and before the remnants of the soldiers dispersed, the two devil planes had already swooped down with a scream, and immediately the four machine guns mounted on the wings opened fire fiercely, and the dense rain of bullets instantly pulled out four clouds of smoke and dust on the wasteland, extending towards the marching column of the remnants of the provisional 79th Division.

Seeing this scene, Lehi's eyes went dark, and he thought that this was the end.

The devil's plane strafed down, and half of his platoon had to die.

However, when the two planes of the little devil roared by, Yang Dashu looked at it again, but was extremely surprised to find that only a few people were injured by Liao Liao, and more than a dozen people were injured to varying degrees.

At this time, Li Hai finally knew why Xu Rui wanted them to take the word "zhi", because if they took the word "zhi", it would be difficult for the devil plane to lock them, and the lethality would be greatly weakened.

"I lost it, I deserve to be Chief Xu" At this point, Li Hai is completely convinced.

At this time, the two devil planes circled in the sky and came back again.

However, Lehi was no longer worried, because the remnants of the 40-odd soldiers had already dispersed, and the dive strafing of the devil's reconnaissance plane could no longer pose any threat, and sure enough, after the devil's reconnaissance plane dived down this time, it didn't even shoot, and it was quickly pulled back into the air.

Dividing line

Xu Rui lay motionless under an old tree, holding a telescope, staring closely ahead.

The veteran soldier was under another small tree away from Xu Rui, both of them were covered with thick artemisia grass, if they didn't look closer, they would only be mistaken for two haystacks, and they would never have thought that there were actually two soldiers hidden under these two piles of artemisia grass, and they were also two sharpshooters with a hundred steps to pierce Yang.

At a certain moment, Xu Rui seemed to hear something, and the corners of his mouth suddenly hooked up with a sneer.

Although the veteran squinted, his attention was always focused on Xu Rui, Xu Rui's subtle movements did not escape his eyes, and he asked at the moment: "How"

Xu Rui smiled and said, "The devil is here." ”

The veteran also raised his binoculars and locked onto the road ahead.

After adjusting the focal length, more than a dozen devils appeared in the field of vision of the telescope, and the devils of this squad set up a battle formation and were marching along the road, and from time to time, they would stop and shoot a shuttle at the wilderness on the side of the road with machine guns, obviously engaging in fire reconnaissance, that is, there was a brigade of devils behind them.

Sure enough, not long after the devils of this class passed, a large group of devils appeared on the highway.

The veteran roughly counted, there was a reinforced squadron of devils marching along the road, more than two hundred devils, and in the middle of this group of devil soldiers there were two devil officers riding tall horses, although they were far apart, but with the help of binoculars, the veteran could still see clearly that one of them was a big officer.

Tachibana Koji, it must be Tachibana Koji

The corners of the veteran's mouth instantly bloomed with a sinister smile, this little devil is really here

At that moment, the veteran put down the binoculars, and then picked up the 38 big cover next to him, and pushed it into loading.

"Veteran, don't mess around." Xu Rui hurriedly stopped, "Now the distance is at least more than 2,500 meters, which is already beyond the range of the 38 big cover, no matter how good your marksmanship is, and if you miss a hit, maybe the little devil will retract, then our table of dishes will be prepared in vain." ”

Xu Rui's principle is that if you don't do it, you must kill it with one blow.

"I know." The veteran replied coldly, "Don't worry, I'm just making sure about the shooting range." ”

"That's good." Xu Rui grinned and said, "Later, I will fight the devil Dazuo, you beat the captain next to you, and see which of us can fight more accurately." ”

The veteran said, "I'm Dazuo, you're a captain." ”

"Okay, my captain is my captain." Xu Rui said hesitantly, "But I'll say ugly things before, if you lose to me, you must tell me your identity and origin." ”

"I'm not going to lose." The veteran said coldly.

The corners of Xu Rui's mouth hooked up a smile again, there is a character, I like it, but soon you will know, who is the king of the soldiers and who is the boss
