Chapter 38: Provocation

Xu Rui put the knife back into its sheath, turned around and smiled at the more than two hundred remnants of the soldiers, and said loudly: "It is said that the little devils fight the bayonet twice, and the three devils stand in a T-shape, and they can't help them, in my opinion, it's because they haven't met our provisional 79th Division** Battalion before, brothers, do you say it?"

"Yes," the more than 200 remnants of the soldiers immediately responded, and the atmosphere was warm. [Full text reading]

Although this one-on-one duel was short, it was wonderful, and the two hundred or so remnants, after witnessing this wonderful assassination performance, especially after witnessing the one-sided results, their confidence in white-knuckle combat has increased unprecedentedly, and from now on, none of them will be afraid of the little devil.

Xu Rui smiled and said: "Brothers, strip the little devils' clothes, and then move their corpses to the highway, and put out the words seventy-nine, we just want to tell the little devils clearly that this ambush battle is fought by our provisional seventy-ninth division, they must be capable, even if they come to us for revenge, we will continue." ”

"Yes" More than 200 remnants of the soldiers agreed violently, and then began to strip the devil's clothes.

These remnants didn't think much about it at all, they just felt that doing so was very uplifting, it was really uplifting.

Only the veteran vaguely guessed Xu Rui's intentions, Xu Rui clearly wanted to completely anger the commander of the little devil through such behavior, as long as the commander of the little devil is angry, he will definitely be angry, and if he is angry, he will definitely make a wrong judgment, and then the little devil will have flaws.

In this way, they will be able to break through calmly.

I have to say that Xu Rui's mind is really meticulous

Seeing the old soldier's expression, Xu Rui smiled and asked, "You can see it again"

The veteran nodded and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you're deliberately provoking your opponent." ”

"You guessed it, I was deliberately provoking my opponent." Xu Rui said hesitantly, "We first killed His Royal Highness the little devil in Baoxing Town, and then ambushed Koji Tachibana who went to collect the body of Fushimi Palace Toshihiko in almost the same place, and now the little devil has lost face, so it's strange if he doesn't hate us to the core." ”

The veteran nodded: "If I were a devil, I would hate you to the bone." ”

Xu Rui said again: "So it is completely foreseeable that the little devils will definitely mobilize heavy troops to encircle and suppress us next, if we can't get rid of the devil's eyeliner from the beginning, then the devils who pounce on us from all directions will become a noose around our necks, and tighten more and more until they hang us." ”

The veteran nodded: "So you deliberately provoked the little devil"

"That's right." Xu Rui nodded and said, "Only by completely angering the commander of the little devil will he lose his mind and make a wrong judgment, only in this way will the devil make a mistake in his busy life, and give us an opportunity to take advantage of, otherwise, the little devil's sweeping troops will be driven by step and push all the way, and we will have no chance at all." ”

The veteran said, "You're so sinister. ”

Xu Rui said: "This is called wit"

Dividing line

Shanghai, the headquarters of the Central China Front of the Japanese Army.

Matsui Ishine walked into the meeting room with a smile, and the young officer who was sitting on the yellow rosewood immediately got up, this young officer was at most in his early twenties, but he was already carrying the rank of junior savior on his shoulders, which is difficult to imagine in the Japanese military circles where the hierarchy is strict and the phenomenon of seniority is extremely serious.

The young officer bowed heavily to Matsui Ishine and said respectfully, "Teacher." ”

"Ah, Junsi." Matsui Ishone walked over and asked with a smile, "Why did Jean come?"

The young officer said: "My studies in Germany have ended, and I am about to return to the military headquarters to report on my work. ”

"Yes," Matsui said, "Let the teacher see it first." ”

The young officer straightened his chest, this little devil is not short, he is in his early eighties, and he was born with a handsome and extraordinary skin, which should fascinate many Japanese girls.

"Ah, I haven't seen you for three years, Junsi is taller and stronger." Matsui Ishine patted the young soldier on the shoulder, motioned for him to sit down, and continued, "How about it, in the Brandenburg Special Forces Training Palace, these three years should have been very hard, but the harvest must be not small."

"Hello." The young officer stood up again and said respectfully, "Teacher, after three years of study in the Brandenburg Special Forces Training Camp, I really realized the gap between our Imperial Japanese Army and the German Army. ”

"For example" Matsui walked over to the coffee table and personally poured a cup of tea for the young officer.

The young officer took the tea, took a sip, and continued: "For example, in special operations, the German army is completely in the forefront of today's world, and even in front of our Imperial Japanese Army. ”

"Strategic level" Matsui Ishine said disapprovingly, "Is it possible for a small force with no more than a few dozen people to affect the course of the war from a strategic level?"

"Teacher, it's entirely possible." The young officer said, "For example, in the current Sino-Japanese war, if our intelligence agencies can accurately capture Chiang's whereabouts and then airlift an elite special forces force to Nanjing, then perhaps only one pistol bullet of 38 caliber will be needed to end this war." ”

"What you say is not unreasonable." Matsui Shigen nodded, and just as he was about to say more, the chief of staff of the Central China Front, Tsukada Tsukasaki, had a gloomy face and appeared outside the door.

At that moment, Matsui Shigen got up and said, "Junsi, you sit here first, the teacher still has military affairs to deal with, I'm afraid I have to lose my company first." ”

"Teacher, please." The young officer stood up and shook his hands.

At that moment, Matsui Shigen walked out of the living room and followed Tsukada back to the office.

"Tsukada-san, what's going on again" Matsui Ishine only looked at Tsukada's expression, and knew that something was wrong again, and it definitely wouldn't be a good thing.

Sure enough, Tsukada attacked the yin and said: "Your Excellency, General, I just received an urgent telegram from the 6th Infantry Wing from Wuxi, and the troops they sent to Baoxing Town to deal with the aftermath were ambushed halfway, and the Wing Commander of the 6th Infantry Wing led by myself, Koji Tachibana, and the accompanying one, a whole reinforced squadron was collectively shattered."

"The aftermath unit sent by Nani's 3rd Wing was ambushed halfway again" Matsui Shigen raised his head with a face full of disbelief, and then said angrily, "Which unit is doing this near Wuxi, and which squadron is active for me to find out, find out"

Tsukada said with a bitter expression: "Your Excellency General, I'm afraid you don't need to look for it." ”

"There's no need to look for it," Matsui Ishone said awe-inspiringly, "What do you mean that the remnants of the provisional 79th Division did it again?"

"Hello." Tsukada paused and said bitterly, "Although it is hard to believe, this is indeed done by the remnants of the provisional 79th Division, and it has also been confirmed by the loss of the aviation regiment." ”

"Confirmation of the Aviation Corps" Matsui Ishinemichi, "How to confirm the Aviation Corps"

Tsukada said, "They used the corpses of fallen imperial warriors to put seventy-nine characters on the road. ”

"Yaga, this is a provocation, this is a provocation to the Imperial Japanese Empire, to the Imperial Japanese Army's Chiguo" Matsui Ishine was suddenly furious, pulled out his saber with his backhand and swept all the ornaments on the desk to the ground, and then brandished the saber and roared hoarsely, "Find them, kill them, kill them all"

Tsukada said: "Your Excellency, please calm your anger, they should still be near Baoxing Town, they can't run far, now the 6th Infantry Wing, the 101st Infantry Wing and the 20th Infantry Wing have formed an encirclement of Baoxing Town from three directions, and if you wait for another two or three days, the remnants of the provisional 79th Division will definitely be wiped out." ”

"Two or three days" Matsui Shigen turned his head and glared at Tsukada viciously and shouted, "I don't want to wait for a day, I don't even want to wait for an hour, so I ordered the 3rd and 16th Infantry Wings and the 101st Infantry Wing to speed up and advance to Baoxing Town, and limit them to destroy the remnants of the Provisional 79th Division before dark." ”

Tsukada hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, this is a cunning opponent, it may take a day"

"There may be no possibility of just one day, I will only give them one day, if they can't find and destroy the remnants of the provisional 79th Division in one day, then they will punish themselves to thank the emperor" Matsui Ishine was already so angry that he almost lost his mind, but he couldn't be blamed for this, in the face of repeated humiliation, there were a few people who were able to stay calm

What's more, the repeated blows of the 79th Division have seriously damaged Matsui Ishone's reputation and threatened his military career, if he cannot exterminate the remnants of the Provisional 79th Division as soon as possible, even if the military headquarters does not hold him responsible, Prince Zaihito Miyaji, the chief of the General Staff, will not spare him, and he will have to retire in disgrace.

And such a result is something that Matsui Ishine can't accept anyway.

Matsui Ishone, a small soldier born into a declining samurai family in Nagoya, had huge ambitions that were extremely disproportionate to his stature, and he always dreamed of becoming a field marshal, and after years of struggle, he was now a general, and the most senior army general, just one step away from the rank of marshal.

And once he was forced to retire from active service, Matsui Ishone's dream of being a marshal could never be realized.

"One day, I'll only give them one day." Matsui Ishine waved his thin arms, but a roar that was extremely disproportionate to his stature came out of his throat, "Before it gets dark today, the remnants of the provisional 79th Division must be resolved"

"Hai" Tsukada slammed his head and walked away with a gloomy face
