Looking at the "reinforcements" that suddenly appeared from the woods on both sides, Ah Fu was inevitably a little confused. 【】

These people are all dressed in tatters, most of them are still wearing single cloth shirts in the winter, and they are wearing straw sandals under their feet, and many of them don't even have straw shoes, just barefoot, and the weapons in their hands, most of them are Hanyang-made rifles, or the old sleeve rifles of the former Qing Dynasty, and even firearms.

Ah Fu saw a child who was as thin as a bean tooth, after a shot, he quickly filled the gunpowder from the muzzle of the gun into the barrel of the gun, and then compacted it with a barrel, although he was young, but the child's movements were extremely sharp, obviously, this was not the first time he had participated in the war.

Of course, there was also a machine gun, a burly man as big as Lehi, holding an imitation Czech light machine gun and firing wildly there.

What are these people?

A huge question mark floated in Ah Fu's mind.

These people are obviously not **, or the Sichuan army, and they are not poor enough to be on their job.

When Ah Fu was confused, a petite but heroic girl had already approached him and asked, "Are you people who have temporarily formed the 79th Division?"

Ah Fu nodded stunned.

"Thankfully, it's not too late." The girl breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Ah Fu, "Well, this place will be handed over to us, you should quickly retreat with your brothers." ”

"Withdraw" Ah Fu looked around, his expression miserable.

Just now, the last two remaining remnants of the soldiers have also been killed, and now, all the people who escorted the arms to the fork of the river have been excluded, and the rest of the people, including the platoon commander Hei Qi, are all dead, and he is the only one left who died

At that moment, Ah Fu didn't say much, and jumped up directly with the 38 big cover with the bayonet on it.

However, before Ah Fu could charge, the girl caught up with him in one step, reversed the mirror box, and smashed the handle of a gun on the back of Ah Fu's neck, Ah Fu immediately whimpered and collapsed softly, but his meaning remained awake, only to see the girl put him on the ground, and then ordered the mountain-like strong man: "Soldier, you lure the devil away." ”

"Yes." The strong man responded, holding the machine gun and yelling, "One squad, two squads follow me." ”

Then, Ah Fu felt that he was being picked up and began to stagger, but the sound of gunfire gradually faded away.

Ah Fu really wanted to tell the man who carried him to put him down, he wanted to fight the devil, he wanted to fight the devil, even if he died, he would also die with the seventh brother and the brothers.

Dividing line

Throughout the afternoon, the devils in Nantong did not attack again.

Xu Rui was not idle, and took the veterans to patrol around.

"Look, the tunnel has been dug up." Li Hai led Xu Rui to a well, then pointed to the well, and said quite proudly, "The exit of the tunnel is open in the well, it is hidden enough, the little devil is a fairy, and it is impossible to find it." As he spoke, Lehi had already crossed the edge of the well and slid down the wheel of the cart that was drawing water.

Since last night, the ** battalion has begun to find land and dig tunnels on the edge of the dock.

Coincidentally, several blacksmith shops were found from the ruins, and there was no shortage of guys.

This morning, even at the height of the fighting, Lehi and his provisional 2nd Company never participated in the battle, but kept digging tunnels.

A moment later, Lehi's voice came from under the well: "Camp, come down also." ”

Xu Rui and the veteran also slid down the wheel to the bottom of the well, only to find that the bottom of the well was dry.

On the edge of the well wall, a half-person high opening was opened, bending down to drill into this opening, but inside is a narrow road for only one person to pass, walk forward about ten meters along the road, the space in front of you suddenly opens up, but it is a quite large space, at least there is no problem with hiding more than 100 people.

Xu Rui said hesitantly: "You can do the sea, you actually dug out this tunnel in one night."

"Actually, we didn't dig it all." Li Hai scratched his head, and said, "No, didn't you say that the tunnel should be as close to the Nantong wharf as possible, and it should be hidden enough, so I found this well, and thought to myself, digging a tunnel under this well is not just enough to meet your requirements as a result, I went down to the bottom of the well, guess what?"

The veteran touched the obviously rammed four walls, and said abruptly: "It turned out that a ready-made tunnel was found"

"How do you know the battalion deputy" Li Hai's eyes widened, and he said, "It's really a coincidence, I went down to the bottom of the well, but found that a tunnel was dug out of the wall of the well, and it went straight to here, and I don't know which tunnel was dug by it, but it saves us trouble, you can see the camp, there is no problem hiding a hundred and ten people." ”

Xu Rui hummed lightly, and said: "However, we still have to dig a few more tunnels and hide a few more ambushes, this is the same as setting fire, a few more fires, the fire will burn faster, and we can only attack from multiple directions at the same time in order to create greater chaos for the devils faster." ”

Lehi nodded repeatedly.

Leaving the dock, Xu Rui took the veteran to the top of the mud hill again.

On the anticline of the mud mountain facing the Yangtze River, there is a flat land less than 50 meters away from the top of the mountain, with a radius of about 50 meters, the terrain is open, and the firing range is good.

If heavy machine guns are added to this platform, the devil ship guns on the Yangtze River will not be threatened at all, and the devils who rush to land on the beach will only be brutally slaughtered.

The veteran stood on the top of the muddy mountain, looked at the platform on the anticline, and then looked at the vast Yangtze River in front of him, and said: "Old Xu, I must admit that your whole plan is full of extraordinary imagination, but there are too many prerequisites needed, and if only one of the prerequisites is not met, all the work will be wasted immediately." ”

Xu Rui stood on the top of the mountain with his hands pinched his waist, and said indifferently: "Then do you think, which condition is difficult to achieve?"

The veteran shook his head and said in a deep voice: "I don't think you should ask me which conditions are difficult to achieve, you should ask, which conditions can be achieved, to be honest, I really don't like this plan, if you change course now, then it's still too late, but once the whole plan is launched, it will be difficult to change it." ”

Xu Rui said hesitantly: "In this way, you are completely not optimistic about my battle plan"

"Of course." The veteran continued, "First of all, Chiaki Shigedo may not be fooled, and he may not be deceived by your tricks; Secondly, even if Chiaki Shigeto falls for your plan to cross the sea, he may not be able to arrange the order of crossing the river according to your plan, as long as he leaves two infantry brigades in Jiangbei, your plan will fail. ”

Xu Rui smiled slightly, and said indifferently: "What else can I continue to say." ”

The veteran bowed his head slightly, and then said: "The third point, if the information intercepted by the Fuxing Society is fraudulent, or, it is simply the mistake of the little Japanese meteorological observers, tomorrow is a sunny day, and the devil's aviation will be able to rush to the battlefield, and at that time, the devil will only need a heavy bomb to blow up the heavy machine gun position you rely on into the sky." ”

Xu Rui's expression remained unchanged, looking at the vast Yangtze River in front of him, and asked indifferently, "Is there anything else?"

"And." The veteran said, "Even if you were lucky enough to bet on the first three points, but if I were Chiaki Shigeto, after the first wave of beach-grabbing landings was repulsed, I would never be stupid and invest more troops and continue to seize the beach, and I would land on the beach upstream and downstream far from the muddy mountain, and at that time, what is the use of your heavy machine gun position?"

Xu Rui took out a box of cigarettes from his trouser pocket, took out one in his mouth, and lit it with a match.

took a deep breath first, and then Xu Rui squinted his eyes and said coldly: "The three points you said earlier are all, and the last point is the point, I admit that your worries are justified, and I am also a little worried, but what I want to say is that you ignored one point, veteran, a very important point, a point." ”

The veteran said blankly: "What did I ignore?"

"Time" Xu Rui threw the cigarette he had just smoked and stepped on the ground to extinguish it, and said hesitantly, "You ignore the time, when the old devil Shigeto Chiaki is trapped at the Jiangbei wharf, when the old devil is in danger, do you think the devil on the south bank will still want to make a detour upstream and downstream to calmly cross the river, and then come back to rescue"

"This," the veteran was speechless.

The soul of the soldier, the soldier is the courage of the general, and the main general is the soul of an army.

The main general is in danger, and as subordinates, a few of them can still be calm and calm

When Shigeto Chiaki was trapped in the north of the Jiangbei and was in danger of being killed at any time, it is completely conceivable that a few devils on the south bank could deal with it calmly, and at that time, the little devils on the south bank would definitely die and swarm crazy to come back, because if Shigeto Chiaki was killed by their ** battalion, it would be a shame that the Taiwan mixed brigade would never be able to wash away.

However, the veteran was not so easily persuaded, and said at the moment: "But, how can you be sure that Shigeto Chiaki will definitely stay in Jiangbei, in case he crosses the river first with the infantry? ”

"No, it won't." Xu Rui said firmly, "Even if the old devil Shigedo Chiaki crossed the river first, the Shigedo detachment will still be defeated this time." ”

The veteran was awe-inspiring: "You are really so confident"

"I'm so confident." Xu Rui said hesitantly.

The veteran looked at Xu Rui deeply and said in a deep voice: "You call it blind confidence, and to say that it is ugly is arrogance."

"Arrogant, veteran, I have to tell you that you are not the first to say this about me, and I am afraid you will not be the last to say this about me, but I am me, I am Xu Rui." Xu Rui paused when he said this, and said, "Why don't we bet again, if I win, you can tell me where you come from, and you are not allowed to play tricks again this time." ”

"Okay." The veteran said solemnly, "If you win this time, I'll tell you." ”

"Gone, back." Xu Rui smiled slightly, and said, "Calculate the time, Xiao Qi and they should also come back, that batch of weapons and ammunition is the key to really determining this victory." ”
