The Japanese army was about to overwhelm the border, and the Dahushan Independent Regiment adopted a strategy of active defense.

The so-called active defense is to never defend a city or a place, never fight head-on with the enemy, but use the vast space to carry out omnipresent harassment and attack, try to delay the enemy's marching speed, consume the enemy's physical strength and sharpness, and at the same time try to kill and injure the enemy's living force, if the opportunity arises, then do not hesitate to concentrate fire!

The specific arrangement was that in addition to the 1st Battalion and the Machine Gun Company stationed in Meizhen, the 2nd Battalion, the 3rd Battalion and the cavalry battalion were all scattered in platoons and scattered on both sides of the road leading from Feicheng to Meizhen to look for opportunities.

Among them, the special operations detachment shoulders the heaviest task, because without the special operations detachment to provide accurate and timely information, the troops scattered will become blind and deaf, and not only will they not be able to pose a threat to the devils, but they will also be eaten by the devils in turn, because it is not far from Feicheng to Meizhen, and the devils can reach it in one day, and there is no need to march at night.

However, during the day, the devils have aerial reconnaissance, and it is clear what the independent regiment is doing.

Therefore, the troops that were scattered could only be concealed and on standby, which added another arduous task to the special operations detachment, that is, to lure devils.

In order to provide intelligence support and lure the enemy, the task of the special operations detachment is not ordinarily heavy.

Therefore, Xu Rui decided to personally lead the special operations team to attack, because Xu Rui has a sense of hearing, sight and smell that is far beyond ordinary people, so at this stage, the special operations team has him and without him, and its strength is not at the same level at all, it is no exaggeration to say that Xu Rui's role alone almost exceeds that of the entire special operations team.

However, this move was opposed by Wang Husheng.

"Lao Xu, you are just fooling around." Wang Husheng said excitedly, "Don't forget that you are the regiment commander, you are now the senior commander of our New Fourth Army, not the captain of the special operations detachment, yes, it is important to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, but this can be completely handed over to the veterans and the special operations detachment, and it doesn't necessarily have to be you, the regiment commander, to go in person, right?" ”

"Yes, what, yes? At this stage, the special operations detachment is really not good without me. ”

Xu Rui said while giving himself leggings, Xiao Taohong wanted to come forward to help several times, but Xu Rui stopped him, Sai Hongfu and Xiao Taohong are like sisters, so they can enjoy Xiao Taohong's service with peace of mind, he can't do it, otherwise he won't really become the master of the feudal era?

Wang Husheng said: "You are gone, what should I do in the base area?" ”

"Isn't this still old?" Xu Rui said, "With Lao He's 1st Battalion here, nothing can happen." ”

"That's exactly what I'm worried about." Wang Husheng motioned for Xiao Taohong to avoid, and then lowered his voice and said, "In the past few days, there have been mysterious people with unknown identities entering and leaving He Guangming's battalion headquarters, although there is no definite evidence, but I am sure that this is the person sent by the Third War Zone!" ”

Xu Rui smiled: "What, are you worried about Lao He's backlash?" ”

"Can I not be worried?" Wang Husheng complained, "To be honest, you shouldn't let the 1st Battalion stay, if there is a mistake, the independent regiment will be homeless." ”

Although it is now a period of second cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and from the current point of view, the two parties get along quite well, but under the seemingly calm water, in fact, there is a turbulent undercurrent, whether it is the Kuomintang or their Communist Party, they are constantly making small moves, needless to say on the Kuomintang side, the Communist Party has actually dug into the corners of the Kuomintang.

For example, Xu Rui's incorporation of the remnants of the 180th Division belonged to digging the corners of the Kuomintang army.

There is a saying that if you do the first year of junior high school, you can't blame others for doing fifteen, you Xu Rui dug the corner of the Kuomintang, you can't help but prevent the Kuomintang from digging your corner in turn, after all, He Guangming's 1st Battalion joined the Independent Regiment for a short time, and he can't talk too deep about the troops of the Independent Regiment, so no one dares to say that they won't turn back.

"No in case." Xu Rui said, "I believe that Lao He will not fight back." ”

"Lao Xu, are you really so sure?" Wang Husheng was dumbfounded.

"I call it self-confidence, I have confidence in our independent group." Xu Rui smiled and said, "No matter who it is, as long as he still has a patriotic heart, he will never leave again when he joins our independent regiment." ”

Wang Husheng pursed his lips, but he couldn't find a rebuttal, he had to admit that Xu Rui's words did have some truth.

When the independent regiment was still an independent brigade, it had already been branded with Xu Rui, and the character of this unit was the same as Xu Rui, they all paid attention to happiness and enmity, and they all paid attention to the life and death dependence between comrades-in-arms.

As he spoke, the leggings had been tied, and Xu Rui said: "Okay, Lao Wang, I'm leaving, send me a telegram if you have something, and I'll rush back immediately." ”

Xu Rui has always attached importance to the construction of the intelligence system, and the formation and development of the intelligence system in the occupied areas requires a long period of operation.

In the previous battles, the independent regiment seized a lot of radio stations, using these radio stations, Xu Rui set up a communications office, with Sai Hongfu, a central commander agent, concurrently serving as the head of the communications department, and four communication squads were set up under the communication office, and this time the attack, the 2nd battalion, the 3rd battalion and the cavalry battalion were equipped with a communication squad.

The remaining class stayed in Meizhen.

As for the special operations detachment, there is also the director of Sai Hongfu.

Such a communication force, not to mention the New Fourth Army or the Eighth Route Army, is the most elite model unit in the National Revolutionary Army, and the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps cannot be compared, that is, a pervert like Xu Rui will strengthen the communication force to this extent, but even so, Xu Rui still feels that the communication force is too weak.

Xu Rui is already thinking that when this battle is over, he must hold a radio training class.

Seeing that Xu Rui had made up his mind, Wang Husheng couldn't say anything more, so he could only send Xu Rui out.

Outside the regiment headquarters, eight veteran members and three new members of the special operations detachment have all arrived.

Seeing Xu Rui walk out, Leng Tiefeng and the eleven team members immediately straightened their feet together.

"Don't be so serious." Xu Rui smiled slightly, the expressions of the eight veteran team members immediately relaxed, after nearly half a year of getting along, they have also become accustomed to Xu Rui's style, during training, Xu Rui is a pervert, a beast, he will torture you and abuse you in a different way, he can really make you crazy.

In normal times, Xu Rui is your best friend and most trusted brother.

And when it comes to fighting, Xu Rui is the best commander and the most ideal comrade-in-arms.

"I won't say anything superfluous." Xu Rui smiled and said domineeringly, "This battle, in the eyes of our wolf's teeth, it can't be called a battle, at best it is a hunting operation, but this time, what we want to hunt is not a cunning rabbit, but a bison, the only thing we have to do is to provoke this bison and then lead it into a trap." ”

Several wolf fangs immediately laughed, only Han Feng, Hua Niu, and Tie Zhu, the three new team members, did not laugh.

With a wave of Xu Rui's big hand, the wolf tooth team immediately turned around and walked away.

(Dividing Line)

"Five days, within five days, we must deal with the Dameishan Independent Regiment." Shuichi Hamura stared at the map of the Damei Mountains in front of him and said to his chief of staff, Tatsuya Eijin.

Regarding the task assigned by the Front Army Command, Shuichi Hamura was resistant in his heart.

Although the 101st Division is a special division that has not been in the army for a long time, it is a field division in any case, and its equipment and organizational structure are compared with the standards of permanent divisions and regiments, in particular, the soldiers of the 101st Division are composed of the reserves and reserves of the 1st Division, if the 1st Division is the first-class main force of the 17 permanent divisions, then their 101st Division is the first-class main force of the newly formed 19 ad hoc divisions!

Therefore, the main division like the 101st Division should be used to attack the frontal battlefield of Xuzhou, rather than being separated, part of it as a garrison force, and the other part was organized into an independent detachment to attack the Dameishan Independent Regiment.

However, Shuichi Hamura does not easily express his inner thoughts.

Moreover, since the order of the Front Army Headquarters has been issued, and the Yucun detachment has been organized into an army, it is meaningless to talk about these things, and the only thing he should consider now is how to deal with Xu Rui's Dameishan Independent Regiment in the shortest possible time, and then he will have the opportunity to participate in the Battle of Xuzhou.

Yongjin Da was not as optimistic as Hamura Shuichi, and said: "Detachment leader, the intelligence shows that the Dameishan Independent Regiment is a force that can fight, and Xu Rui himself is a fierce and cunning jackal. ”

"Of course." Hamura Shuichi is not a proud and complacent fool, he can still listen to different opinions, and nodded at the moment and said, "There is an old Chinese saying, called the lion and the rabbit, and it still needs to use all its strength, this time to sweep Dameishan, our Hamura detachment must also do its best, and must not give the opponent any chance to turn the tables." ”

"Hello." Yongjinda also paused heavily, and said, "Detachment leader, all the wings have been in place, and the combat forces of the aviation regiment have all been deployed in place, but it is already twelve o'clock at noon, if you set off at this time, it will be dark halfway through, and it will be easy to be harassed by the Zhina army, in order to avoid unnecessary losses, do you want to set off again tomorrow?" ”

"Nope." Yumura Shuichi said categorically, "The so-called soldiers are fast, the longer we delay, the more fully prepared the Chinese army will be, not to mention that the imperial army has an absolute superiority in strength, even at night, as long as it is not easy to attack, there is no need to worry about the harassment of the Chinese army, so there is no need to postpone until tomorrow, it will start at two o'clock in the afternoon!" ”

"Hello." Yongjin Da also paused his head and took the order.
