Likou, the Japanese garrison. [Full text reading]

Akita was wearing only a shirt on the upper half of his body, and he knelt in the field tent with a blank expression.

Akita never imagined that the pursuit of the remnants of the Provisional 79th Division would be such a result, and when he received a harshly worded telegram from the Front Command, and when he learned that he had pursued and killed the Provisional 79th Division for a whole day and night, and had crossed the Yangtze River from Fukuyama Town, he could not believe his eyes

Too cunning, the Chinese are too cunning, they deceive

In addition to sighing, Akita had to admit that he was not unjust in losing this battle.

What else is there to say, with the superior strength of three infantry wings, sweeping and encircling a small army of only two or three hundred people, not only failed to crush it in one fell swoop with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai, but was disgraced by the other side, losing nearly a large number of troops, not to mention, and finally let the other party calmly break through.

The battle has reached this point, and Akita really can't find a reason to excuse himself.

With the cold metal grinding sound, Akita slowly drew his saber.

Although Akita's saber is not an imperial saber from the Emperor, nor is it an ancestral samurai sword, but only a standard saber, it has also been sharpened by Akita to be extremely fast, and the blade is even more cold.

Gently wiping the blade, Akita could not hide the loss between his eyebrows.

Until now, Akita can only maintain his last dignity by caesarean section.

Otherwise, not only himself, but also his children and grandchildren, and the entire family will be disgraced.

The closed curtain was suddenly lifted from the outside, and a young lieutenant strode in with two ensigns, and the two ensigns immediately separated from the left and right after entering the tent, one stood on Akita's right side, drawing his gun, while the other drew his saber and stood behind Akita with a fierce eye, and raised his saber high.

These three people came to supervise Akita's caesarean section.

"Akita-san." Shao Zuo said indifferently, "You've been delaying for too long. ”

Akita raised his head and glanced at Shao Zuo coldly, first rested the saber on his knee, then reached out to unbutton his shirt, and then picked up his saber again, held the blade tightly with both hands, aimed the tip of the knife at his lower abdomen, and brewed his emotions slightly, Akita suddenly retracted his arms, and the sharp tip of the knife pierced into his lower abdomen.

The blade entered the body, and Akita's face immediately showed a look of pain.

But this little devil is also really ruthless, gritting his teeth and slamming it in, and the tip of the knife comes out from behind him.

That's not all, Akita actually bit the back socket and turned the saber horizontally, and cut it twice to the left and right, this little devil actually used the saber to cut a bloody cross in the abdomen

"Long live the Great Japanese Empire, long live His Majesty the Emperor"

After cutting a cross in his lower abdomen, Akita shouted two slogans with all his last strength, then stepped forward, put his head on the ground, and swallowed his last breath.

It turned out to be a standard samurai disembowelment ceremony.

Dividing line

The Soviet envoy to China, Cherev, excitedly approached Colonel Stilwell, the U.S. military attache in China.

"Colonel Stilwell, have you heard" Cherev couldn't hide the excitement on his brows, "Matsui Ishine has retired from active service, and the Central China Front has already changed its commander. ”

"I heard." Stilwell smiled, "That's to be expected, too. ”

Stilwell said as he filled his pipe with tobacco, and continued: "Matsui Ishine has mobilized three wings, nearly 10,000 troops, but he can't exterminate a few hundred people of the provisional 79th Division.

"Who said that it was not the news that the remnants of the provisional 79th Division broke through, the Associated Press, Reuters, and TASS quoted this news for the first time, and even Germany's weekly attention to this was cynical, insinuating that Hitler had found such an unreliable ally as Japan." Cherev shook his head and laughed, "The Japanese imperial family and the Japanese government are really disgraced this time." ”

"This is just the beginning." Stilwell struck a match and lit his pipe, then walked to the window with his pipe, looked at the muddy Huangpu River outside the window and said to Chelev, "Mr. Chelev, I don't know if you feel it, anyway, I feel it, a star is rising from the eastern world."

"General," Cherev asked, "you mean the commander of the provisional 79th Division?"

"No, no, according to my intelligence, Zhong Heng, the commander of the provisional 79th Division, has been killed in the First Battle of Wuxi, and the chief of staff of the provisional 79th Division has also been killed." Stilwell waved his hand and said, "As far as I know, it was someone else who commanded the remnants of the Provisional 79th Division to break through from Wuxi and create a series of magical battle deeds. ”

"Yes," said Cherev, "but I must admit that this man's tactical command skills are okay. ”

"It's okay," Stilwell laughed, "Mr. Cherev, with all due respect, even if he is a high-achieving student who graduated from the Frunze Military Academy, I am afraid that he is not much better than this person." ”

Without waiting for Cherev to refute, Stilwell said: "This person can take out the headquarters of the 6th Wing of the Japanese Army in one fell swoop with two or three hundred demoralized and poorly equipped ** remnants, can surprise and kill Fushimi Palace Toshihiko, and can even lead the remnants to break through from the encirclement and interception of tens of thousands of Japanese troops, if even this kind of performance can only be rated as okay, I really can't imagine what it should be like to be excellent in your eyes."

"Okay." Cherev also felt that what Stilwell said was completely reasonable, shrugged his shoulders at the moment, smiled and said, "I admit that this person's tactical command ability is indeed excellent"

Stilwell also said: "What I am very curious about is where the Nationalist Government found such outstanding military talents, and what I am sure of is that the Central Military Academy and the Army University of the Nationalist Government have dull tactical thinking, backward teaching methods, and have been seriously out of touch with the world military trend, and it is absolutely impossible to train such outstanding military commanders." ”

Cherev said: "Could it be that this person once went to study at the Berlin Military Academy in Germany?"

"There are only a few people sent by the national government to study in Germany, and they are all on record, and this person is obviously not among them." Stilwell shook his head and added, "However, after you say this, I remember one thing, in fact, in addition to sending students to Germany, the Nationalist Government also sent young officers to the United States to study at West Point. ”

"The Nationalist government once sent officers to West Point," Chelev said, "how did I not know"

Stilwell hurriedly said: "This is unofficial, the dispatching unit is the Tax Police Corps of the Bank of Eight Nations, but from the perspective of time, the first batch of trainees should have returned to China at this time." ”

"What does the police force have to do with the Provisional 79th Division," Cherev said abruptly, "To say, there are quite a few ** officers who went to study at our Frunze Military Academy in the early years, and the 79th Route Army, the predecessor of the Provisional 79th Division, also sent a group of officers there, maybe this person is a student of the Youlongzhi Military Academy." ”

"Impossible, you Frunze can't teach such students."

"You are talking nonsense, our Youlongzhi Military Academy is much stronger than your West Point Military Academy."

With different views, Cherev and Stilwell began another round of heated arguments.

Dividing line

Not to mention that Che Kaifu and Stilwell were arguing there, and Xu Rui, the initiator of the dispute between the two, had already come to Yangjiajiao on the west bank of the canal at this moment.

The reason why Xu Rui wanted to go to Yangjiajiao again was to pick up the platoon that Li Hai had taken away.

Xu Rui knows very well that although he has injected a strong seed into the ** battalion of the provisional 79th Division, this seed has just sprouted, and if this seedling wants to grow strongly, it must be continuously watered, and the nourishment of watering is to constantly instill the idea of not abandoning and not giving up to the soldiers of the ** battalion.

Therefore, at all costs, it is necessary to welcome back this platoon that Lehi took away.

Even if there is only one person left in this platoon, he must be brought back.

Before Li Hai and the others left, Xu Rui had told him that the main force of the ** battalion would wait for them in Baoxing Town.

But now that the main force of the ** battalion has been deployed, and judging from the time, it will almost cross the Yangtze River, so he must go on a trip to bring back Li Hai and his platoon.

Bypassing Hejiajiao, he turned around and headed east to Baoxing Town.

Along the way, Xu Rui relied on his keen intuition like a beast, and he was always able to predict the danger in advance, avoid the search team of the devils in advance, and arrive outside Baoxing Town without danger.

Xu Rui also found the traces left by Li Hai at the entrance of the town, an abandoned German-made Schmeiser submachine gun.

Hei Qi picked up the abandoned German-made Schmeiser submachine gun from the ground, and said to Xu Rui excitedly: "Camp, it must be Li Hai and them, the standing division of the little devil is not equipped with this thing, Dio Lei's mother, Li Hai's decrepit boy is really good, he actually brought back a platoon of brothers." ”

Speaking from the heart, before the division of troops, few people thought that Lehi would be able to come back alive, let alone that he would be able to return to Baoxing Town with his troops.

After saying that, Hei Qi was about to go to the town in a hurry.

"Wait." Xu Rui grabbed Hei Qi and said in a deep voice, "There is a situation"

"There is a situation" Hei Qi immediately removed the three or eight big covers on his shoulders and fucked them in his hands, and He Shuya, who was following behind Hei Qi, also immediately became vigilant.

Xu Rui closed his eyes, and his magical perception spread out like spider silk in an instant.

After seven or eight seconds, Xu Rui's closed eyes suddenly opened, and he said in a deep voice: "There are less than ten people on the other side, and they are hiding in the big courtyard at the entrance of the town, and looking at their appearance of hiding their heads and tails, they should not be little devils, but most of them have already fallen into their hands, so I don't know if this group of people is an enemy or a friend." ”

Hei Qi immediately shouted: "Old Mother Tuolei, it doesn't matter if he is an enemy or a friend, dare to touch the people of our ** battalion,"

The corners of Xu Rui's mouth inadvertently bloomed with a smile, after a short period of time with him, the officers and soldiers of the ** battalion, including Hei Qi, have been obviously influenced by him, and their personalities and styles of action are becoming stronger and stronger, and even begin to become a little unreasonable, but this is what an iron-blooded soldier should look like.

Xu Rui called Hei Qi and He Shuya to him again and whispered.

Then the three of them turned and retreated, and vanished.

After less than half an hour, it was getting dark.

Under the cover of night, Xu Rui, Hei Qi, and He Shuya appeared on the north side of the town, and under the cover of the ruins in the town, they silently approached the back door of the compound from behind
