Chapter 612: The Big Picture Has Been Decided
When Xu Rui returned to the temporary headquarters at the foot of the Monkey Head Ridge, the front, middle, and rear clusters deployed by the 10th Division along the Qingfeng Mountain Road had all been defeated, and the resistance of the formation had collapsed, although there were still more than 10,000 devil soldiers who fled into the mountains, but in this uninhabited deep mountain, these devils had no way to escape, and it was a matter of time before they were captured or starved to death.

So on the way back, Xu Rui was even thinking about the words of the radio script, this time he completely annihilated the 10th Division of the Japanese Army, but he had to make a good fuss about it, of course Xu Rui didn't expect to get promoted and make a fortune with this credit, but he knew very well what kind of sensation it would cause when the news spread!
Fame and fortune, fame and fortune have always been one.
With fame comes a flood of benefits.
There are some benefits that Xu Rui doesn't need, but there are some benefits that he needs very much!
For example, the joining of young students, such interests Xu Rui needs, and the more the better, but young students from all over the country will not come for no reason, you have to come up with real achievements to attract them, the previous battle of Feicheng attracted a regiment of young students, this time after the news of the total annihilation of the Japanese 10th Division spread, how can you also recruit another regiment of young students, right?
Another example is the attitude of the Western powers.
In fact, the Western powers are not willing to sit idly by and watch Japan encroach on China, and if possible, they still don't mind making some small moves secretly to make it more difficult for little Japan, but because China is too close to Japan and too far from the West, the great powers have repeatedly tolerated it because the cost is too high.
However, if they find that the Chinese are enough to cause trouble for little Japan, they will never mind making trouble in secret, such as selling more weapons or equipment to China, anyway, this is just a gesture for the Western powers, and they can also make a windfall from it, why not do this kind of thing?
For example, Soviet aid to China was like that.
The same is true of the United States' assistance to China after the Pacific War.
There has never been love for no reason in this world, and there has never been hate for no reason, the reason why the Western powers have reached out to you, they are all asking for something, we can be grateful, but we must not bear a heavy moral shackle because of the Western powers' assistance to China, because this is all part of the national interest.
However, because the Nationalist Army's performance in the Battle of Songhu, the Battle of Nanjing, and the Battle of Xuzhou was so bad, that the Western powers completely lost confidence in the Nationalist Government and the Nationalist Army, so they were reluctant to provide assistance to the Nationalist Government, because they felt that the demise of the Nationalist Government was inevitable, and the assistance provided to the Nationalist Government at this time was likely to be in vain.
As for the Soviet Union, the reason why it provided great assistance to the Nationalist Government was to hold Japan back.
The Soviet Union did not want Japan to solve China's problems in a short period of time, not only to help China defeat Japan, but also to help China hold out until the situation on the European continent became clear, and it was on this basis that the Soviet Union provided the Nationalist Government with a low-interest loan of $50 million for the purchase of Soviet-style ordnance.
Xu Rui cannot represent the national government, and the independent regiment cannot have diplomatic power, so it is not necessary to seek loans from Western powers at the national level, but it is still possible to buy a batch of weapons and equipment from the United States through David, an arms dealer, after all, Xu Rui is not asking for nothing, but is willing to exchange gold.
With the brilliant record of the 10th Division being annihilated by the Independent Regiment, David will be able to negotiate with the US Government on behalf of the Independent Regiment with more confidence, and the demands he has put forward will be more easily satisfied.
Xu Rui is now desperate for a small steel mill plus a small chemical plant.
Wu Qian's teacher has already developed ********, but without a chemical factory, it cannot be produced, and relying on glassware in the laboratory to make ******** is simply a drop in the bucket, and it is useless, not to mention the steel factory, if there is no steel factory, the arsenal is just a decoration.
Therefore, Xu Rui decided to make a good article about the 10th Division of the Annihilation.
Of course, such hype also has a side effect, that is, it will attract the jealousy of the little devils.
However, Xu Rui doesn't mind this, because through the information obtained by Jiangnan from the Fuxing Society, even the Japanese emperor already knows his name, and also calls him a mortal enemy of the empire, so no matter how much hype is made, the situation will not become worse than now.
While thinking about it, Xu Rui walked into the regiment headquarters with one foot.
As a result, as soon as he entered the regiment headquarters, he met Wang Husheng head-on.
Wang Husheng couldn't hold it until the general attack because he had boiled up several Tongxiao in a row, and he also felt that the general attack could not have results so quickly, so he couldn't fight for a few days, so he went back to sleep, and he just woke up, and when he saw Xu Rui, he yawned and asked: "Old Xu, how is the battle?" ”
"What else?" Xu Rui said, "That's it." ”
"That's it?" Wang Husheng smiled bitterly and said, "I said that the attack will not go well, and you still don't believe it." ”
"Didn't go well?" Xu Rui shook his head and smiled, "Political commissar, you are wrong, the battle is going well." ”
"It went well?" Wang Husheng was stunned for a moment and asked, "What is the smooth method?" Have you already eaten a devil? One brigade or two brigades? Is it a wing? ”
Xu Rui kept shaking his head, just smiling and silent.
"Lao Xu, are you going to kill me in a hurry?" Wang Husheng stomped his feet and said, "Tell me quickly, what's going on?" ”
Xu Rui smiled at this time: "Look at your urgency, this battle, the overall situation has been decided, the 10th Division has lost organized resistance, although there are still a large number of rout troops fleeing into the mountains and still resisting stubbornly, but because they can't find supplies and drinking water, the destruction or surrender of these devils is a matter of time." ”
When Wang Husheng heard this, he was immediately a little confused, really, all annihilated?
The 10th Division of the Japanese Army, one of the 17 permanent divisions, was completely annihilated by their independent regiment in this way?
It's not a dream, is it? Wang Husheng couldn't believe it and said, "Old Xu, you come and pinch me." ”
"Commissar, what are you doing?" Xu Rui grabbed the kettle on the canvas table and poured a big sip, then said, "I'm telling you, this is a real thing, you're not dreaming at all." ”
"Not a dream?" Wang Husheng finally came back to his senses, and then looked up to the sky and laughed.
Xu Rui stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Wang Husheng's eyes, and asked with some concern: "Political commissar, are you okay?" ”
"Get out, I'm not crazy." Wang Husheng slapped Xu Rui's claws away and said, "After such a big victory, I am not allowed to look up to the sky and laugh three times?" Really. ”
"Okay, okay, you laugh." Xu Rui said, "Nine laughs are also up to you." ”
"Don't laugh, it's boring." Wang Husheng snorted, and then continued, "That, Comrade Xu Rui, this time, in view of your big victory, the organization has decided to reward you well." ”
"Reward me?" Xu Rui immediately came to his senses, "What reward me?" ”
"A pen." Wang Husheng took his beloved gold pen from his jacket pocket and said, "Parker." ”
"Hey, just a pen? Or are you using leftovers? Xu Rui said angrily, "Political commissar, you are really picky." ”
"And what do you think the organization will reward you, high official? Houlu? Wang Husheng snorted and said, "There are really people who promise you high-ranking officials, Chairman Jiang said, as long as you believe in the Three People's Principles, you can immediately be appointed as the commander of the lieutenant general, and you are also the commander of the Central Army, as for the specific group army, you can choose!" ”
While speaking, Wang Husheng took out a secret telegram and handed it to Xu Rui.
Xu Rui took the telegram and looked at it, and found that the secret telegram was given by Dai Li to the old cat of the Feicheng Station of the Fuxing Society, and the old cat transferred the secret telegram to Sun Changhe, and Sun Changhe changed hands and gave the telegram to Wang Husheng, the old cat did not know that Sun Changhe, Yang Bagan and the Central Military Academy students who came with the two of them had all joined the Communist Party.
It is said that the eyes of the masses are bright, but in fact, the eyes of soldiers are even brighter.
Since Sun Changhe and Yang Ba Nan joined the Independent League, they have seen every word and deed of the Communists, and they found that the propaganda of the Nationalist Government about the Communist Party before was all lies, and they were afraid of comparing everything.
Compared with the Communist Party, which is dedicated to doing practical things for the people, the Kuomintang is really not half a star behind.
After such a discovery, Sun Changhe and Yang Bayan's beliefs naturally changed.
"Tut, Chairman Jiang is still the same pick, and he only knows how to write empty checks." Xu Rui said hesitantly, "If he really has the sincerity to let me be the commander of any army, he should transport all the soldiers and equipment of an army to Dameishan, and then distribute all the funds needed for a year's combat of an army, then it is called Changliang." ”
Wang Husheng said: "People want you to go to the Central Army to be a commander, and they also transport soldiers and equipment to Dameishan, beautiful you." ”
Xu Rui shook his head and said: "This is Chairman Jiang's biggest weakness, he always likes to divide the army into a descendant, even within the Central Army is also full of mountains, on the surface, this will make it impossible to form a unified voice in the army, he Jiang can maintain a transcendent position through mediation, so as not to lose military power, so that over the years, Chairman Jiang has firmly controlled the military power through this set of methods." ”
After a pause, Xu Rui said again: "I don't know that he does this, but it will also make the army fall into great internal friction, and when it really comes to death, the local army is counting on the central army, and the central army is counting on the local army to act as cannon fodder, and they will only blindly shirk their responsibilities with each other, who is willing to really die?" ”
"Lao Xu, your words are really to the point, how are you going to reply?"
"Reply?" Xu Rui said, "Why do you reply?" Am I idle? ”
Wang Husheng was stunned when he heard this, then pointed at Xu Rui and smiled: "You." ”
