Let's not talk about the flaws in Xu Rui's strategic concept, and temporarily turn our attention back to the center of this storm, Jiujiang. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Xu Rui was worried that he would send someone to inform him, but Zhao Baishi didn't listen, so he hurriedly asked someone to carry him to the dock.

Seeing Xu Rui, Zhao Baishi hurriedly stepped forward and said repeatedly: "Captain Xu, why did you come up, it's dangerous here, quickly carry Captain Xu down, quickly." ”

In this latter sentence, Zhao Baishi said it to the two Sichuan Army veterans who carried the stretcher.

When the two Sichuan army veterans were about to lift Xu Rui away, they asked Xu Rui to stop him.

"Captain Zhao." Xu Rui stopped the two Sichuan army veterans, stared at Zhao Baishi and said, "Do you believe me?" ”

"Believe it, believe it, of course believe it, as long as it's what you say, Captain Xu, I believe it all!" Zhao Baishi nodded again and again, indeed, if he still had doubts before, now with the recovery of Jiujiang, this only trace of doubt has long been dissipated, and Zhao Baishi has now admired Xu Rui's judgment to the ground.

Xu Rui said: "Very good, since you believe me, then immediately order a retreat!" ”

"Done!" Zhao Baishi really listened to Xu Rui, turned around and shouted, "Pass my order, and the first battalion will immediately withdraw from the battle!" ”

The first battalion of the Sichuan Army, which was fighting fiercely with the Japanese army on the dock, immediately turned around and retreated, until it retreated to the north gate of Jiujiang City, and half of the Japanese Marine Corps brigade that returned from Madang Fortress wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but instead let the Sichuan Army fight a counterattack outside the north gate of Jiujiang, and lost nearly half of the squadron in an instant.

In the final analysis, these prisoners of war of the Sichuan Army are veterans of a hundred battles, whether they are prisoners of war of the Guangdong Army or prisoners of war of the Sichuan Army, they basically came all the way from the Battle of Songhu, the Battle of Nanjing, and the Battle of Xuzhou.

What's more, the Sichuan Legion also has five wolf fangs to help.

Especially Leng Tiefeng, he killed more than 20 devils alone!

After repelling the pursuit of the Japanese marines, Zhao Baishi followed Xu Rui's suggestion and left the four battalions composed of Guangdong prisoners of war at the north gate, responsible for blocking the Japanese marines, and then took the remaining three Sichuan military camps to turn around and rush straight to the Jiujiang station outside the west gate, and by the way, he also collected three infantry companies that had just been left behind to clean the battlefield.

Zhao Baishi had just led the main force of the Sichuan Army to rush to the west gate, and the commendation of the Ministry of Military Affairs had arrived.

Listening to Xiao Taohong read the promotion order and commendation order issued by the Ministry of Military Affairs, Zhao Baishi's face instantly turned flushed.

Captain! The turtle's son was really promoted to regiment commander, and he was directly promoted to army major!

Li Sijin, Hou Zhigang, and Xue Laoqi were also excited, because the commendation order of the Ministry of Military Affairs was much more specific than the commendation order dictated by Chairman Jiang, and Chairman Jiang only mentioned Zhao Baishi alone, but the commendation order issued by the Ministry of Military Affairs also took Li Sijin and his four acting battalion commanders into account, and all of them were actually awarded lieutenant colonel battalion commanders plus promotion to captain.

Oh yes, and there is also a bonus, each of the four battalion commanders will be rewarded with a thousand fiat dollars!

At this moment, Zhao Baishi and the four of them felt like they were dreaming, everything was so unreal.

Especially Xue Laoqi, two hours ago he was still a prisoner of war, and he didn't know how many days he would live, but now, he not only regained his freedom, but also changed from a small platoon commander to a battalion commander, and it was a real teaching! Not only that, but the wife of the family can also get a large bounty!

There is no more change in life than this!

After reading the telegram, Xu Rui also had to submit to Chairman Chiang's means of winning the hearts of the people, so to speak, Chairman Chiang was able to stand out from so many warlords of all sizes in modern China and become the first person to formally unify China, and it was absolutely not a fluke.

Before, Xu Rui was still thinking about waiting for the battle in Jiujiang to end and pull this army back to Dameishan.

Now it seems that this idea is doomed to fail, even if after the Battle of Jiujiang, this army is still there, Xu Rui will not be able to take them away, this only needs to look at Zhao Baishi's expressions and a few of them to know, this will, Zhao Baishi and a few of them have obviously had the heart to die to Chairman Jiang.

However, Xu Rui didn't think about debunking Chairman Jiang.

Because Chairman Chiang's intention was completely in line with his original intention.

The reason why Chairman Jiang reused and rewarded Zhao Baishi so much was to reward the meritorious soldiers on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was also to exchange for their lethal service, because whether the national army can make any gains in the future depends on whether the 799th Regiment can hold Jiujiang, and if the 799th Regiment can't hold it, then everything is illusory.

Before leaving the city, Zhao Baishi gathered all the brothers in the group together and lectured.

"Brethren, I will say no more than that." Zhao Baishi's grim gaze swept over the more than 1,200 veterans of the Sichuan Army one by one, and said, "Since the day we hit Sichuan, we no longer regard ourselves as a living person, the Battle of Songhu, the Battle of Nanjing and the Battle of Xuzhou, we have all died three times!" ”

More than 1,000 veterans of the Sichuan Army, wearing tattered military uniforms and ill-fitting rubber-soled cloth shoes, were silent.

As for these rubber-soled cloth shoes, they were still stripped from the captured two devils, and as for the board cowhide shoes of those devil soldiers, they belonged to those officers.

Zhao Baishi continued: "We have all died three times, this life is for nothing, Chairman Jiang and the national government look up to us so much, so we only have one thing left, that is, to do it with the dog, it is enough to kill one, and the two of them will make money, if you accidentally kill you, then you will make a lot of money!" ”

More than 1,000 veterans of the Sichuan Army burst into laughter when they heard this, but the strange aura of slaughter was permeated in the laughter.

From Zhao Baishi's words, every veteran of the Sichuan Army has already felt that a vicious battle is about to be staged!

Zhao Baishi took a deep breath, slammed the military hat he was wearing on his head to his feet, and shouted: "Brothers, listen to my orders and knock down that dog's Jiujiang Station for me!" ”

"the dog!"

"Fight with the little devils!"

"Turtle son's, fight!"

"Ge Laozi, count me in!"

More than 1,000 veterans of the Sichuan army shouted in an instant, Zhao Baishi raised the box cannon and led it forward, and the more than 1,000 Sichuan troops immediately rushed out of the city like a flood that broke the embankment.

Xu Rui's stretcher was carried by Han Feng and Zhuanshan Leopard, and he also followed out of the city.

Leng Tiefeng followed the stretcher and said to Xu Rui: "The morale is okay. ”

Xu Rui shook his head and said: "Fighting a war depends not only on morale, but also on strength in the end." ”

Leng Tiefeng nodded, and said, "Lao Xu, you are honest, how sure are you in the battle of Jiujiang Station?" ”

"I don't know." Xu Rui shook his head and whispered, "I don't know how many devils there are at Jiujiang Station, and I don't know when this little devil will be able to come back, and I don't even know what kind of situation is outside now. ”

After a pause, Xu Rui continued: "But one thing is certain! That is, if we don't hit the station, we will definitely die, and we will soon be surrounded and annihilated by all kinds of devils who are crazy to come to help, if we hit the station, there is still a glimmer of life, so even if there is only one in 10,000 chance, this battle must be fought! ”

Leng Tiefeng changed color slightly and said, "Old Xu, you are desperate." ”

"Desperate?" Xu Rui said abruptly, "Fighting a war is originally desperate. ”

(Dividing Line)

At the same time, the long-range bomber on board Seishiro Itagaki took off via the aircraft carrier Kaga, and after a long-distance flight of more than two hours, it finally flew over Anqing.

The captain of the plane slowly lowered the flight altitude of the bomber, then turned to Itagaki Seishiro, who was sitting in the passenger seat, and said, "Your Excellency Commander, you have arrived in Anqing!" ”

"Yo Si." Seishiro Itagaki took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Then let's get started." ”

"Hello!" The captain paused heavily, then turned back and gestured, and the machine gunner in the middle of the cabin opened the hatch with force, and once the door was opened, the air in the cabin leaked out frantically under the effect of the air pressure difference, and some unfixed braided parts immediately began to flutter in the air.

Seishiro Itagaki steadied himself and pulled the handrail to the hatch.

It was a rainy day, and when I looked out through the hatch, I saw nothing to see in the white expanse.

Although Seishiro Itagaki is known as the courage of the army, it is absolutely false to say that he is not afraid at all at this moment.

Although the altitude has been reduced to 1,000 meters, but for the technology of this era, skydiving is very dangerous, the accident probability of high-altitude skydiving in this era is basically the same as the wingsuit flight of later generations, as high as more than 20%, which means that for every five people skydiving, one person will be killed by falling.

In the World War II landing, the survival rate of the airborne troops was even less than sixty percent! Of course, a considerable number of these paratroopers did not die from parachute failure, but were shot by the German army on the ground in the process of landing, but the survival probability of this horror is enough to show how dangerous the high-altitude parachute in this era is!

So to say that Seishiro Itagaki is not afraid at all, it is absolutely false.

But no matter how scared he is, Seishiro Itagaki must also jump down.

Gritting his teeth, Seishiro Itagaki closed his eyes, and jumped forward, and the person flew out of the hatch.

Once he flew out of the hatch, Itagaki Seishiro was no longer afraid, and when he opened his eyes, there were clouds and mist all around, and there was a lot of confusion in front and back, left and right, up and down, only the whirring wind continued to pour into his mouth and ear holes, making it difficult to breathe, Itagaki Seishiro estimated that he had fallen to a certain height, and opened the parachute.

As luck would have it, the parachute opened smoothly, and the body that had been falling down immediately slowed down.

After a little or so of a minute, the clouds began to fade beneath his feet, and then an ancient city began to show its huge outline. (To be continued.) )
