On the dim snow, Xu Rui was walking forward with more than two hundred remnants of soldiers. [Full text reading]

Thanks to the seizure of leather boots and cotton coats at the headquarters of the little devils, otherwise in this cold weather, if the more than 200 remnants of the ** battalion were still wearing single-cloth military uniforms and rag shoes, they would not have been frozen to death

Yang Dashu walked all over his body, caught up with Xu Rui and said proudly: "Yingzuo, the little devil must have been tricked, this will probably be looking for us upstream and downstream along the river, hehe." ”

For the backward march that Xu Rui came up with, Yang Dashu really admired it.

Sometimes Yang Dashu really wants to open Xu Rui's brain to see how his brain grows

"Don't rejoice too soon." Xu Rui was faintly worried, he didn't know why, he always felt that the devil special forces would bring big trouble to the ** battalion.

Xu Rui's worries soon became true.

A moment later, the veteran who had stayed behind to sweep the tail chased after him breathlessly.

"Old Xu, the little devil has caught up," the veteran said.

"What are you talking about, the devil is catching up" Yang Dashu was a little unconvinced, "Is it possible?"

"You don't look back by yourself," the veteran glared at Yang Dashu angrily.

When Yang Dashu looked back in a hurry, he saw a faint light of a flashlight in the distance.

Although the light is very weak, the poplar tree can still judge the distance approximately, and it should not exceed five miles.

Five miles of road, the rapid march was only ten minutes, and Yang Dashu said angrily: "I lost, the little devil's dog nose is really fucking spiritual, this didn't deceive them, and it really caught up."

Xu Rui also shook his head with a wry smile, originally pointed out that the arrangement by the small river can lead the devil astray, even if it is finally recognized by the devil, it can be dragged on for a while, in this way, it is enough for them to get rid of the chasing soldiers behind them, and then calmly cross the river from Fushan, as long as they cross the Yangtze River, the little devil has a great ability, and there is nothing they can do.

But now, the arrangement by the river not only failed to deceive the devils, but wasted half an hour because of the arrangement of the suspicious array, but made the little devils shorten the distance with them, which was self-defeating.

The veteran said to Xu Rui: "Old Xu, don't change the direction again, and then make some arrangements"

Xu Rui shook his head and said: "It's useless, since the arrangement by the river has not deceived the little devil, I am afraid that it will be in vain to make other arrangements, not to mention that the little devil is less than five miles away from us, and we don't have that time." ”

"That's a nuisance." The veteran said, "If we can't get rid of the pursuers behind us, even if we get to Fukuyama, even if we find a boat, we won't be able to cross the river calmly." ”

The veteran's worries are exactly what Xu Rui is worried about.

If they can't get rid of the pursuers behind them, just wait for them to turn north, the little devils can easily determine their intentions, and when the time comes, they only need to send a gunboat to Fushan to block it, and they will be sad to cross the river with their wings, and then, as soon as the chasing army of the little devils is so encircled, they will really confess to Fushan.

"Mother Trey." Yang Dashu said viciously, "Yingzuo, just kill this group of devils first." ”

Several company and platoon-level officers of Yang Dashu are also confident, because in the recent battles, killing little devils is like chopping melons and vegetables, not to mention that now their weapons and equipment are also unprecedentedly sophisticated, not to mention a Type 38 rifle plus a German-made 36 Schmeiser submachine gun, not to mention a heavy machine gun platoon.

Therefore, even if there is a brigade of the devils who are chasing, Yang Dashu and a few of them also dare to fight.

"Nope." Xu Rui categorically rejected Yang Dashu's proposal.

Yang Dashu and the others were carried away by the victory, but Xu Rui's mind was very clear.

In the final analysis, the little devils are not idiots, they have suffered losses several times, how can they make the same mistake again

This point can be seen from the marching army column of the chasing soldiers behind him, the marching army column of the little devil is obviously elongated, and what he is afraid of is that the old trick of the ** battalion of the provisional 79th division will be repeated, and another ambush will be fought, even if the ** battalion can surround the part in front of the rush, the devils who are dragging behind can also quickly reinforce, so that the ambush war will become a war of attrition.

**The battalion is most afraid of attrition now, because the devil's reinforcements are endless, and they are fighting alone.

Take 10,000 steps back, even if the ** battalion wins, one fight five will still win, and the devil will eat the brigade behind him before the devil reinforcements arrive, so how can there be a few people left in the ** battalion The devils behind this brigade are not a strategic target, and they can't fight with the ** battalion.

Now is no better than when they just broke out of Wuxi.

When they first broke through from Wuxi, they were demoralized, lacked equipment, and urgently needed a victory to boost their morale, and they urgently needed to replenish weapons and ammunition.

But now, they are highly morale and well-equipped, they don't need a victory to boost their morale, let alone replenish weapons and ammunition, now what Xu Rui needs to do is to do his best to pull this army behind enemy lines and pull it to Dameishan to fight guerrillas, and he can't fight with the little devils here.

"No," Xu Rui rejected Yang Dashu's proposal without hesitation.

"Then what should I do" Yang Dashu shouted, "I can't fight, I can't get rid of it, what can I do?"

"I can't get rid of it," Xu Rui said abruptly, "Who told you that you can't get rid of the little devils who want to fight with Lao Tzu, they are still a little tender, map"

This map, Xu Rui told the veteran.

The veteran immediately took out the map from the satchel he was carrying and spread it out on the snow.

Yang Dashu also unfolded the canvas he was draping on, and covered the veterans and Xu Rui who were together inside, so that when the veterans turned on the flashlight, the light would not leak out.

The veteran turned on his flashlight and illuminated the map.

The march of the troops did not stop, but Xu Rui and the veteran soldiers began to play war games against the map.

The veteran first said: "This is Fushan Wharf, because of the hasty retreat, there is no time to burn the boats, the little devil has naval ships on the Yangtze River to provide support, and there is no need to requisition a large number of civilian ships, so there will be more or less ships left here, and we don't need more, only five big boats or ten small boats can cross the river at one time, the little devil can't take care of the north of the river at the moment, as long as the Yangtze River is crossed, the little devil will take us out of line." ”

Xu Rui said: "If there are no pursuers, we have enough time to reach the Fushan pier before dawn and calmly cross the river." ”

The veteran said: "But now that our whereabouts have been exposed, and the devils behind us are in hot pursuit, even if we rush to the Fushan Wharf before dawn, we can't spare time to find a boat, without a boat, we can't cross the river." ”

Xu Rui said: "So we have no choice but to divide our troops." ”

"Divide the troops" the veteran said, "How to divide the troops into several ways"

"There are not a few ways to say this, and the division of troops I am talking about is not the division of troops you think." Xu Rui shook his head and said, "I'm talking about Yu Lu's division of troops, and division of troops one by one." ”

"Divide the troops one by one" The veteran frowned, "What a division?"

I have only heard of the gradual increase of troops, and the veterans have never heard of the gradual division of troops.

Xu Rui said: "The so-called division of troops one by one, is to order a small army to break away from the large army, concealed and standby, and wait for the large army to lead the devil chasing away, this small force will immediately divert to Fushan Wharf, because the number of troops divided is not much, and it is now a night and snow, it is difficult for the devil to detect." ”

The veteran said: "Then wait for a while, and carry out the second division of troops"

"That's right." Xu Rui said, "The advantage of this is that there is a process of decreasing the number of people, the little devils only look at the footprints on the snow, and it is difficult to find the abnormality in a short period of time, and when they find that the situation is not right, most of us have only the last small army left, and it will be much easier to get rid of the devils at that time." ”

"Awesome," the veteran said sincerely, "Lao Xu, I've really convinced you." ”

Xu Rui smiled, got up and said, "Then carry out the order." ”

Dividing line

The small Japanese naval headquarters in Shanghai has now become the headquarters of the Japanese Central China Front.

Although it was late at night, the war situation analysis room of the Central China Front Headquarters was still brightly lit.

Major General Tsukada Tsuka, chief of staff of the Front Army, was holding a command pole and telling Matsui Ishine about the battle report he had just received.

"Your Excellency, General, please take a look." Tsukada pointed to the map and said, "Akita-san sent back an urgent telegram five minutes ago, saying that he had discovered the whereabouts of the remnants of the provisional 79th Division and successfully bitten them, and Akita-san also said in the telegram that the reason why the whereabouts of the remnants of the provisional 79th Division could be discovered was thanks to the help of Okahara-san. ”

"Yes." Matsui Shigen nodded happily and said, "Junsi has studied abroad for the past three years, and it seems that he has really learned the ability. ”

"Hello." Tsukada paused for a heavy attack, and then said, "Your Excellency, at present, the remnants of the provisional 79th Division are fleeing in a hurry in the direction of Yangcheng Lake, the 6th Infantry Wing is in hot pursuit from behind, and the 20th Infantry Wing and the 101st Infantry Wing are also advancing in unison, attacking from the north and south flanks respectively."

"The direction of Yangcheng Lake is not logical." Matsui Shigen raised his hand to interrupt Tsukada's attack, and then said, "The remnants of the provisional 79th Division neither crossed the Yangtze River north and fled to northern Jiangsu and central Anhui, nor did they go south to the border of Zhejiang and Anhui to join its main force.

Like Akita, Matsui Ishine was also frightened by Xu Rui's erratic tactics.

Tsukada attacked: "Your Excellency the general, don't worry too much, the whereabouts of the remnants of the provisional 79th Division have been confirmed. ”

"Don't be careless." Matsui Shigen shook his head and said, "The meteorological observation station reports that it will be sunny tomorrow, you let the aviation regiment be prepared, just wait for tomorrow morning to immediately dispatch reconnaissance planes to lock the whereabouts of the remnants of the provisional 79th Division, considering the range limitations, many reconnaissance planes can take off one by one, Tsukada-san, we must ensure that at least one reconnaissance plane hovers over the remnants of the provisional 79th Division until he is completely annihilated."

"Hai" Tsukada attacked the head and led the order
