Chapter 518: Changing History

A voice said, "Everybody is in there." ”

At the beginning, the voice immediately said: "The regiment commander said, chop them up and throw them into the river to feed the fish." ”

Hearing this, Takeno Tianji couldn't calm down anymore, and immediately turned his head and yelled at Xu Rui: "Nishimura-san, they're coming to kill us, run, let's run!" ”

Xu Rui kicked open the window door of the cabin, turned his head and asked, "Takeno-san, do you know how to water?" ”

"A little." Takenoda Iso just nodded, Xu Rui couldn't help but grab his arm and throw him out of the window, before falling into the water, Takeno Iso vaguely heard the cabin door of the cabin being knocked open by the Chinese, and then there was the sound of ping-pong fighting and screaming, and finally Nishimura yelled there, "Takeno-san, go quickly......"

Hearing this, Takeno Taji's tears immediately fell, and he whispered, Nishimura-san, I will always remember you.

Immediately after, Takeno Tianiso heard the sound of arrows entering the water, and looked back sharply, only to see more than a dozen Chinese standing on the edge of the barge, pulling bows and arrows towards him, fortunately, no Chinese went into the water, and at that moment Takeno Tianiso plunged into the water and began to sneak.

Takeno Taso didn't know that it was just a play.

Leng Tiefeng shot an arrow at the water again, then turned around and said, "Lao Xu, you spent so much energy to put on such a good show, just to let go of this little devil?" Are you sure this little devil can be of great use? It's not for me to say, maybe this little devil will not be able to float up again. ”

Xu Rui said: "Didn't I say it before, it's idle anyway, it's idle, so it's the next idle move, as for the little devil Takeno, maybe it's useless, maybe it can really come in handy, ghost knows?" ”

Leng Tiefeng shook his head and asked again, "What to do with this tugboat and barge?" Sunk? ”

"It's sinking." Xu Rui also felt a little sorry when he spoke, but unfortunately the Dameishan base is not next to the Yangtze River, and the Meihe River cannot be navigated by ships, otherwise it is really useful to keep this tugboat and barge, not to mention anything else, it is much more convenient to transport goods or soldiers, and a barge can top thousands of people!

Leng Tiefeng nodded, turned his head and instructed Han Feng, "Fengzi, take a bundle of grenades to the bilge and sink the ship." ”

Han Feng agreed, collected the grenades, and Xu Rui said to Leng Tiefeng again: "Let's go, we can finally go home." ”

This trip, it has been nearly ten days in a flash, Xu Rui really misses the base area, and I don't know how the situation in the base area is now?

Half an hour later, Xu Rui and Leng Tiefeng led the Wolf Tooth Squadron to catch up with the team.

Under the cover of night, I saw thousands of people forming a long winding dragon on the river plain, carrying the equipment on their shoulders, carrying them on their backs or pushing them with wheelbarrows, and they were marching towards the base area.

In addition, less than ten miles away, in the dense forest of Taizi Mountain, there was also a cavalry battalion of iron and steel.

In order to ensure that this batch of equipment can be smoothly transported back to the base area, Wang Husheng can be said to have made sufficient preparations.

However, even if sufficient defensive measures were prepared, in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, Xu Rui and Wang Husheng still decided to march at night, and as far away from densely populated areas as possible, picking up deserted paths to march, fortunately, at this time, although the puppet government of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui provinces has been formed, but the coverage is only at the county level, and the vast countryside below is still under the control of local clan forces, these clan forces will not necessarily help the Communist Party, but they will not help the devils, Therefore, the transport convoy of the independent regiment in transit turned a blind eye and ignored it.

Taizi Mountain is only 100 miles away from Puxian County, and it is less than 200 miles away from Meizhen.

Therefore, by dawn the next day, the convoy of the Independent Regiment had already entered the boundary of Puxian County.

Puxian County has now become the forefront of the defense of the Dameishan base area, the devil stationed an infantry brigade here, in addition to this devil brigade, there is also a garrison brigade of the puppet army, the brigade commander Wang Yi is the former commander of the National Army Southern Anhui Independent Regiment, Yang Ba Yan's boss, this guy is completely betrayed to the devil.

There are two ways to go back to the base area from Taizi Mountain on the Yangtze River, one is to detour from Huilonggou and climb over Qingfeng Mountain, which was the route taken by the independent regiment after robbing the arms in Huilonggou, and the other is to pass directly through Puxian County, this road is much closer than detouring back to Longgou, and you will be able to go home before this evening.

In order to avoid long nights and dreams, Xu Rui decisively chose to pass through Pu County.

According to Xu Rui's judgment, the devil garrison and the puppet army in Puxian County would never dare to act rashly.

Facts have proved that Xu Rui's judgment is completely correct, and after discovering the transport team of the Independent Regiment, the Puxian devils urgently called the headquarters of the Central China Dispatch Army in Nanjing for instructions, but Nanjing replied that they should not pay attention to it.

At this time, the attention of the commander of the Central China Dispatch Army, Shunroku Hata had been completely focused on the battlefield of Nanxun, and was anxiously waiting for Okamura Ningji's 11th Army to divide the victory from Xue Yue's 1st Army, and Shunroku Hata did not relax his vigilance against Xu Rui, but at this time, the victory or defeat of the 11th Army was obviously more touching.

By the way, just when Xu Rui left for Suzhou to step on the point, the Central China Army had already launched the Battle of Wuhan.

What is quite surprising is that the vanguard of the Battle of Wuhan turned out to be the Botian Detachment, which was reorganized on the basis of the Taiwan Garrison Brigade, and after the Shigeto Detachment was almost completely annihilated in Nantong, the Japanese army base camp quickly recruited reservists to rebuild the Taiwan Brigade and Tun Brigade, and formed the Potian Detachment with the Taiwan Brigade.

The Botian detachment had originally landed from Lianyungang, preparing to attack the Pinghan Railway to the west along the Longhai Line, and then turn around and go south to take Wuhan, but the bursting of the Yellow River forced the Japanese army to change its plan, so the Botian detachment re-boarded the ship and urgently transported it to Wuhu by sea, and after a short rest, it took advantage of the rainy night to launch a surprise attack on Anqing.

Guarding Anqing is Yang Sen's 27th Group Army, Yang Sen's troops performed heroically in the Battle of Songhu, a bloody battle, the whole army of 18,000 people fought less than 7,000 people, the Suzhou River can be said to be sprinkled with the blood of the soldiers in Sichuan, because of the heroic performance in the Battle of Songhu, Chairman Jiang gave Yang Sen's 20th Army priority to replenish and change clothes.

However, in the defense of Anqing, the performance of Yang Sendi's department was a big disappointment.

In just one day, one of Yang Sen's group armies was defeated by a mere Botian detachment and lost the important town of Anqing.

After the loss of Anqing, the door of Jiujiang was opened, and Okamura Ningji led three and a half divisions of the 11th Army to quickly approach Wuhan along the north and south banks of the Yangtze River, Pengze, Hukou, Jiujiang, and Ruichang were lost one after another, and the Madang Fortress, which was designed by the Germans and had high hopes for Chairman Chiang, was also quickly lost, and Chairman Chiang was so angry that he killed another Huangpu protégé.

This is already the second Whampoa protégé ordered by Chairman Chiang to be shot after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War.

The first was Long Muhan, the commander of the 88th Division guarding Bozhou, who was ordered to be shot after the Battle of Xuzhou.

It was Xue Weiying, the commander of the 167th Division, who was shot this time, because the support horse deliberately did not take the main road at that time, but took the small road, but it was less than 100 miles, and he did not reach it after walking for three days, which directly led to the destruction of the marines guarding the Madang Fortress, and the Madang Fortress was also declared lost.

However, when the Japanese army was rushing along the north and south banks of the Yangtze River, Xue Yue's 1st Army Corps, which was entrenched on the Nanxun line, became more and more threatening to the flanks of the Japanese army, because with the continuous advance of the Japanese army, the battle line was also constantly stretched, and the logistics supply line was becoming longer and longer day by day.

The elongation of the supply line further increased the threat of Xue Yue's 1st Legion.

The Kumamoto Division and the Hatada Detachment, which were advancing along the river, were facing the risk of being recaptured by Xue Yue's 1st Army and blockading the Yangtze River channel at any time, so Okamura Ningji took the initiative to seek a decisive battle with Xue Yue's 1st Army in the direction of the Nanxun Line, so as to completely solve the flank threat of attacking the Japanese army in Wuhan.

Okamura Ninji gathered more than two and a half divisions, thinking that it would be easy to deal with Xue Yue's 1st Army, but after the battle began, the situation quickly turned into a stalemate.

Xue Yue was far more tenacious than Okamura Ningji imagined, and most of the other senior generals of the Nationalist Army would order the troops to retreat after the defense line of the troops was broken through, so that the Japanese army only needed to take the opportunity to press, and most of the Nationalist Army would be defeated like a mountain, and the Battle of Xinkou Jin Sui Army and the Central Army were defeated by half of Sakagaki Seishiro's division.

But Xue Yue was not, after the defense line of the front-line troops was broken, Xue Yue was not allowed to retreat, but ordered the troops to gather troops on the spot behind the flank of the breach, organize defense on the spot, and be ready to counterattack at any time, so that the Japanese army broke through the defense line of the national army layer by layer, and advanced little by little, and the national army gathered behind the Japanese flank became more and more, and the threat from the flank gradually increased, and in the end it even fell into the encirclement of the national army!

In this way, the Matsuura Division, which was the main attack from the Nanxun Line, fell into the encirclement of the National Army!

When Shunroku Hata received the report from the defenders of Pucheng, it was just when the Songpu Division was under siege, and seeing that the Songpu Division was about to be completely annihilated by Xue Yue's 1st Army, how could Shunroku Hata still have the heart to take care of the transport team transiting from Pucheng? At this time, as long as the main force of Xu Rui's independent regiment did not run out of Dameishan to make trouble, Shunroku Hata would already be burning high incense.

At this time, Xu Rui, who was anxious to return to the base with the equipment of the ash factory, did not know that because of his crossing, because of his efforts, the history of the Anti-Japanese War was about to change, and this small change triggered more and more subsequent changes, and finally fundamentally changed the direction and outcome of the Sino-Japanese War.
