Chapter 1630: Five Hundred Dead

This person is none other than Xu Jingcheng, chairman of the "Federation of Workers" and the "Anti-Rebellion" Association.

In the Philippines, Xu Jingcheng is definitely a figure.

When he was a teenager, he traveled to Nanyang with his parents, and with his intelligence and personality, he spent more than 30 years creating a huge family business.

You must know that in the Philippines, whether it is the Spanish colonizers in front of them or the later colonizers in the United States, they are extremely wary of the Chinese.

China is so close to the Philippines, separated by only the Bass Strait, that they fear that the growth of the Chinese population and their growing economic power will create a force against them and shake their dominance.

Therefore, they adopt a discriminatory and restrictive segregation policy against the Chinese.

But on the other hand, they need to use the industrious wisdom of the Chinese to develop resources and trade for them.

Before the outbreak of the war, Xu Jingcheng developed in agriculture, food processing, coconut oil, shipping, etc.

Finance and manufacturing were industries controlled by the colonizers, and the Chinese were never allowed to get involved, but Xu Jingcheng used these industries that they did not look down on to develop and grow, and made his business empire, which at its peak was nearly half of the more than 400,000 Chinese in the Philippines who were his employees.

But all this was ruined with the outbreak of war.

Xu Jingcheng, who has a strong patriotic complex and is unwilling to be coerced by little devils and work hard for little devils in the future, decisively ended all his business before the fall of the Philippines.

What is even more rare is that before and after the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, with the efforts of Xu Jingcheng, overseas Chinese in the Philippines raised donations of hundreds of millions of silver dollars for the motherland, and in order to support the construction of the Chinese Air Force, Xu Jingcheng and other overseas Chinese donated 50 planes at one time.

Xu Jingcheng knew that he would not have a good result if he fell into the hands of the little devil, so he simply didn't do anything, and pulled up a team to entangle with the island army to the end.

This is with the 48 overseas Chinese detachment, in its heyday, the strength of the overseas Chinese 48 detachment reached more than 5,000, most of which were consumed in the war, and now there are only more than 1,200 people left, which is thanks to the natural treasure of the Devil's Valley, otherwise it is difficult for them to survive in the previous large-scale encirclement and suppression of the island army.

Cai Jiansheng, the captain of the 48th detachment, was a staunch communist who had an inextricable relationship with Yan'an, and the name of the team was all written by him, and it was precisely because of his outstanding military talent that he led this team to repeatedly inflict heavy losses on the enemy in the arduous battlefield behind enemy lines, bringing endless trouble to the enemy.

Xiaodao has been here for more than ten days, and naturally he is also very familiar with them, although the news of the enemy-occupied area is a little closed, but it is not completely closed, and they can always hear some of the countless legends created by the Snow Wolf Special Combat Team, so after Xiaodao and they came, Xu Jingcheng and Cai Jiansheng almost obeyed them.

Even now, when Xiaodao proposed to them to attack the enemy's headquarters, they did not raise any objections, but they were particularly surprised, after all, they did not know how many troops the island army had in the Butterfly Valley, and whether their more than 1,000 people were in a mess.

Moreover, the enemy's headquarters is only a dozen miles away from the enemy's forward position, and even at night, the infantry can rush to support in forty or fifty minutes at most, and the Mohua troops are even faster, maybe only ten or twenty minutes. Or is this simply a death mission that they have to complete with the determination to die, so they don't think about the consequences at all?

As soon as these questions were raised, Cai Jiansheng was in a hurry to express his position, saying that if there was a need, they were not afraid of the jade being burned, and it would be better to say it directly.

This decision was something that Xiaodao and Zhu Fusheng did not expect, and the two looked at each other and smiled, and they were more confident in the next battle.

Knife bluntly stated that there was definitely a risk in this battle, and the possibility of a large number of casualties could not be ruled out, but their odds of victory were quite high.

The pressure on the island army on the front line is very great, and there will never be a large number of troops hoarded in the rear, even if it is the headquarters, the strength of a large group is beyond the sky, and in terms of troops, they are equally strong.

Of course, the reinforcements of the little devils are the biggest trouble, they must end the battle within half an hour, and this is where the battle is difficult.

Xiaodao's plan was that Cai Jiansheng would lead two hundred people to make a feint attack from the front, and use the strongest momentum to bring out the enemy forces in Butterfly Valley.

He personally led five hundred elites to make a detour to the rear, launched a surprise attack from the rear of Butterfly Valley, and took advantage of the weakness to end the battle within half an hour.

Zhu Fusheng and Xu Jingcheng led the remaining 500 people to set up ambushes on both sides of the road to block the enemy's movified troops rushing to support.

The key is that there may be infantry to reinforce in the follow-up, after the ambush point is exposed, it is unlikely that Zhu Fusheng will continue to block the enemy's infantry reinforcements, in order to avoid unnecessary casualties, after the first successful blockade of the enemy, the troops withdrew from the battle.

After Zhu Fusheng's troops withdrew, the frontal luring enemy troops also immediately retreated, and the battle ended.

"What about you?" Zhu Fusheng, Xu Jingcheng, Xu Yun, and Cai Jiansheng spoke almost in unison.

Xiaodao Zhengse said: "If the frontal lure of the enemy is not successful, we can only attack, maybe half an hour or even an hour will not be able to penetrate the enemy's defensive line, but since the arrow is wound, we have no way to retreat, and we will blow up the logistics warehouse of the little devil if we die, so I need five hundred dead soldiers." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was petrified, and they were awe-inspiring and righteous for the knife.

"No, I don't agree." Xu Yun exclaimed miserably, as if he knew that he was soft-spoken, and immediately looked at his father pitifully.

Xu Jingcheng frowned at this time, he knew the importance of this battle, if he could eliminate the enemy's logistics warehouse and even the command headquarters, it would be of great importance to the entire battle and even the entire battle situation.

The enemy's defenses on the Cagayan River were broken, and the casualties of a frontal battle would be minimized, and it would certainly be worth it to exchange 500 casualties for the lives of thousands of soldiers, but it was also a difficult decision for him to make.

"Knife, I agree with the plan, but the task of interspersing into the rear is left to me." Zhu Fusheng said.

Xiaodao smiled slightly and said: "Brother Zhu, it's not that I look down on you, this battle has gone beyond simple special operations, and what is tested is the commander's on-the-spot decision, you can't control this situation, so don't fight with me." ”
