Chapter 164: Willing to be fooled

Xu Zuyi had a faint smile on his face, and he looked at Bai Chongxi with a hint of joking. The expression on his face told him that he had finally met his opponent, right? An expression of waiting to see the excitement.

Seeing Xu Zuyi's smile, Bai Chongxi hated it so much that he had a toothache, but he couldn't tell what was wrong with Xue Ru, a little girl dressed in a student uniform, with a delicate appearance and a beautiful face, sat obediently in front of her, as if listening to an adult tell a story.

There is also a look of expectation on his face, which makes you angry, but there is a feeling of being teased. Who is Bai Chongxi? He is also a scheming and witty person. Is Xue Ru such a person? I didn't believe him if I killed him. Looking at what Xue Ru has done, which one is admirable, it is shocking and incredible.

It was her fierceness on the battlefield that made many men feel ashamed. For the Japanese, Xue Runa is not brave and iron-blooded, but cruel and brutal. Sometimes it can't help but be admired, and her wit is used in this.

Others didn't know what was going on, but Bai Chongxi knew that Xue Ru's execution of prisoners and wounded soldiers on the battlefield was not because she was cruel, but because she was smart. Although this made the Japanese army fight harder, it was fear from the bottom of my heart.

Especially when defeated, there will be a sense of despair, and over time, the Japanese army will not dare to fight the snow fox. If you are cowardly before you fight, you will be restrained and lose your judgment. It will also make the Snow Fox soldiers understand in their hearts that once defeated, the Japanese army will not let them go, prompting the soldiers to fight desperately in battle.

In particular, she let the wounded Japanese soldiers be disabled, which was a clever move. A wounded soldier needs to be cared for by more than two soldiers, and if it is left alone, it will lose the morale of the army. At the same time, it will also increase the burden on the state, and if there are millions of disabled people in Japan, or soldiers who have been wounded on the battlefield, it is not a small burden to think about how much effort the country has to take care of them. As the Minister of Military Training, Bai Chongxi understands too well.

This is easy to understand, but it is difficult to do, first of all, you have to convince yourself, you must also have a clear understanding, and you must also have this kind of mind and will. Such a person, like this, can kill Bai Chongxi like this, he will not believe it.

Bai Chongxi also didn't understand it very much, he didn't know Xue Ru at all, he didn't intersect, and he had no grievances, but Xue Ru always showed a wary look, which made Bai Chongxi very strange.

Although he is not as famous as the four beautiful men of the Republic of China, he is not a feared fierce god, he is still an elegant person, what is Xue Ru guarding himself for?

For a long time, Xue Ru didn't ask, nor did he say, looking obedient. Xu Zuyi was even more hateful, and he even looked at his own jokes. coughed: "Commander Xue, originally you came to the meeting because of the combat mission of the Snow Fox Corps, but you delayed the Japanese army, so I will talk to you and see if you have any opinions." ”

Xue Ru showed a hint of a smile: "Sir Bai, I don't think you should be called commander, I don't dare to call you commander in front of you, if you don't treat me as an outsider, just call Xue Ru, then I won't be nervous, otherwise I won't dare to say anything." ”

The voice is very soft, and there is also a bit of coquettishness, women have this advantage, Bai Chongxi is forty-five years old, not a young man, but not a bad one, he is not a lustful person. Besides, Xue Ru is the tone of the junior, and he can't help it.

Xu Zuyi on the side is not an ordinary person, and it can be seen that Xue Ru is guarding against Bai Chongxi, and he also has something to ask. Worried that Bai Chongxi was really deceived, Xue Ru's other name was Snow Fox, nicknamed Fox Spirit. The Japanese can't even calculate her. I don't want to look at Bai Chongxi embarrassed, and finally make it unpleasant. This plan was studied by two people, and knowing that Xue Ru's Snow Fox Corps was the key, if she fully participated, she would definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

He smiled and said: "Chief Bai, Xue Ru is Boling's niece, and she is also a nephew, I don't think you are polite, otherwise it will be difficult to talk when you see Boling." Let's call her by her name, so that she can not help you, and let her uncle discipline her when the time comes. ”

Xue Ru's heart moved, it was really not a good thing, with Bai Chongxi's rights, the current strength of the fifth station area actually transferred himself to the enemy-occupied area to come to the meeting, it must have a plan. Tell yourself to be careful, don't be impulsive, so as not to be fooled, so that he deliberately made this expression, so that Bai Chongxi had no choice.

Xu Zuyi was even worse, he actually climbed along the pole, but he didn't want to say anything else, so he said: "That is, you are all elders, and you can't harm me, what good can you think of me, and be polite to me?" If you have any orders, please say. ”

Xu Zuyi has no choice, this ghost girl, first said that she couldn't harm him, and she behaved like this, so she had to smile and didn't speak. Bai Chongxi knew that if he went down, he didn't need to say anything, this girl could probably call herself uncle.

He also said: "In the defense of Wuhan, the fifth station area is responsible for the Jiangbei operation, mainly to block the attack of the 6th and 13th divisions, as well as the 3rd division. I'm sure you know the situation, so I won't say much about it. The 6th Division had already occupied Huangmei, and the next step was bound to attack Qichun to the north, approaching Wuhan. Therefore, the theater decided to annihilate the 6th Division first, and then deal with the rest of the Japanese army, so that it was necessary to cut off the retreat and supply channels of the 6th Division. I have ordered the 10th and 27th armies to recapture Qianshan Taihu Lake and cut off its return route and supply channel, and need your Snow Fox squadron to assist in the battle. ”

Xue Ru will not postpone the fight against devils, but why is Bai Chongxi so cautious? In this case, a command will do, and you don't have to bring yourself to the meeting at all. Why is that? Knowing that playing dumb riddles like this, when you don't understand it, it's even worse if you don't get it right. He also said: "Chief Bai, it is incumbent on you to fight against the Japanese army, and this is also the duty of a soldier." You don't seem to have something to say, please tell me bluntly, as long as it's a devil, Snow Fox will definitely not postpone it. ”

Xue Ru was so happy, which made Bai Chongxi a little stunned. There are several reasons why he is so cautious, the first Xue Ru's Snow Fox Corps has always been an independent force, and no one can command them, and this time he may not be able to obey orders. Snow Fox has no rules to fight, and it does not play cards according to common sense, and it has its own style. If you don't listen to orders, don't count on her. If she hadn't come in person, the telegram order might have been violated. When she came, she had to hold her.

Second, there is someone behind Xue Ru, even if something goes wrong, he can't help her, and it will affect the entire battle. From Bai Chongxi's point of view, Xue Ru's tactics are amazing, her means are diverse, and her combat effectiveness is also very strong, but she has no concept of the overall situation, and she is not a person who understands grand strategy. So I want her to understand in person that it is best to sign a military order, that is, a guarantee.

The third point is also the key, this is offensive operations, and the units of the national army are good at defending and not good at attacking. There were no heavy weapons, and there was no air support. If you can't conquer it in a short time, you will fail. No matter where Xue Ru attacks, he is invincible, and he has a very good set of battles, which is what Bai Chongxi likes, so Xue Ru's Snow Fox team is the key. If she gives it her all out, there is still hope. As long as the 6th Division is wiped out, the remaining two Japanese troops will be able to do it, and the left line troops can be transferred to the right.

This is the case in history, but unfortunately, the 28th Army, the 64th Army, and the 84th Army did not capture Huangmei with heavy casualties. As a result, the troops could not increase the northern front, and the 3rd and 16th divisions captured Faith and cut off the Pinghan Road, and Wuhan was surrounded.

Xue Ru didn't know these details, but he only knew that Wuhan was finally lost and fell. Coming to this era, according to the battle situation report on the battlefield, plus the information known by later generations, it was confirmed, so that Xue Ru knew a lot of details.

Shanghai, Nanjing, Xuzhou, Xue Ru didn't want to participate, but he knew that they all failed in the end. Wuhan is different, although it also fell in the end, but this was the last blow of the Japanese army, and since then it has turned to strategic defense, changed its operational policy against China, and opened the stage of strategic stalemate. This is an opportunity to annihilate a large number of devils, and the more Japanese troops are annihilated in the Battle of Wuhan, the more beneficial it will be in the future.

So Xue Ru didn't resist getting involved, Bai Chongxi sent a telegram to her to Jinzhai in person, and she also happily agreed to Bai Chongxi. Seeing that Xue Ru agreed so happily, his face was no longer the same as just now, and he became a little serious, so he said: "Very good, your Snow Fox Corps assisted the Eleventh Army in recapturing Qianshan County and Taihu County, and cut off the supply channel of the Japanese army." ”

Xue Ru smiled: "Chief Bai, the Eleventh Group Army is a troop of three armies and seven or eight divisions, and it seems that there is no shortage of more than 2,000 Snow Foxes, right?" You don't seem to be telling the truth, and you plan to let the snow fox be sent to death as a sharp knife, right? ”

Bai Chongxi's careful thinking was broken by Xue Ru's words, and he was a little embarrassed, and his face sank at that time: "Xue Ru, you are also a member of the National Revolutionary Army, fighting for the country, pushing three and resisting four, don't you know military law?" During the War of Resistance, you know the consequences of not moving forward in fear of the enemy. ”

Soft is not good, hard is coming, Xue Ru sneered on his face: "Sir Bai, the snow fox has never been afraid of devils, and I don't know where to say it if I am afraid of the enemy." What are the consequences? Shoot me or remove me? If it spreads, I don't know how many people in the world will believe it. ”

"Since you are not afraid of war, why do you refuse to attack the hidden mountains of Taihu Lake?" Bai Chongxi asked coldly.

Xue Ru is young and a little arrogant: "It's just two county towns, why is Snow Fox cooperating with the Eleventh Group Army?" Either they fight themselves, or Snow Fox fights on their own. ”

Bai Chongxi said: "Okay, you are responsible for capturing Taihu Lake, and the Eleventh Group Army will attack Qianshan." ”

Xue Ru understood that Bai Chongxi was playing aggressive with himself, worried that he would not obey orders. It's not that Xue Ru doesn't want to fight, but he just doesn't want to cooperate with other troops. As far as the tactical command of the national army is concerned, Xue Ru really doesn't like it, so it's better to fight it himself.

is usually impulsive, but when fighting, Xue Ru is still very cautious and will not talk nonsense. She didn't want to finish the snow fox, so she suddenly said: "I don't need the Eleventh Army to give me a unit, the snow fox will complete the battle independently." ”

After going around in such a big circle, Bai Chongxi was waiting for this sentence: "Okay, I'll give you a division, under your command, take Taihu Lake and Qianshan for me, and block the 6th Division." ”

Xue Ru smiled: "Chief Bai, you don't need to use so much scheming, in fact, fighting devils, in a word, Snow Fox will never postpone it." I don't need a division, I designated a regiment, and after promising me three conditions, I will not only give you the Taihu Lake Qianshan, but also take a Tongcheng, which can be regarded as a gift. ”

was so arrogant that even Xu Zuyi stood up: "Is this true?" What conditions? ”

Xue Ru said: "Don't ask me what troops I want. ”

Bai Chongxi said: "As long as you can take these two places, all the troops will be given to you, say it." ”

Xue Ru's goal has been achieved, she doesn't want to fight a battle that she is not sure of. The losses are too great, and a battle without benefits will not be fought. The battlefield is to fight the enemy to save himself, not more than who dies, and Xue Ru will not fight a battle with too many casualties. That is, he said: "Just give me the 137th regiment, okay?" ”

Xu Zuyi was stunned for a moment, and thought that Xue Ru would ask for some famous troops, which turned out to be the 137th Regiment of Xu Yuanquan's 48th Division. Shaking his head and said: "It's not that it can't be done, let's change it, Commander Zhang, they fought in Lu'an and Tongcheng, and the losses were too great, and the recruits just now were recruits, and their combat effectiveness was limited." ”

"That's it," Xue Ru said confidently: "It's mainly my three conditions." ”

Bai Chongxi said: "You say. ”

Xue Ru said: "First, don't interfere with my battle, I have the final say on how to fight." You can give me a deadline, and I'll take these places within the time, and I have the final say on how I fight. Second, resupply me according to the list I requested. Third, immediately after the occupation, send people to take over the defense, and the snow fox does not undertake the task of defending the city. ”

Bai Chongxi did not say whether it would work or not, but said: "In ten days, Huangmei is lost, and the Japanese army is attacking Guangji, if it cannot be solved within ten days, Guangji is lost, and the national army will be unable to counterattack." ”

Xue Ru calculated, nodded and said, "Just ten days, I will hand over the three county towns to you within ten days." ”

Xu Zuyi said: "Commander, is the time too short, the Snow Fox Corps is still in Chao County." ”

Bai Chongxi waved his hand and looked at Xue Ru. Xue Ru smiled: "Sir Bai, just this time, even if I fall for you, I don't want to have a second time in the future." Okay, I'm not going to attend any meetings, I'll give the order to the 137th Regiment, I'll go to the headquarters of the 137th Regiment in Dongxixi now. ”

Xue Ru was so happy, Bai Chongxi said: "So urgent"

Xue Ru shook his head: "Sir, I only have ten days, and the troops haven't arrived yet, can you not be in a hurry?" If you delay, don't blame me. ”

"Okay, report the situation at any time" Bai Chongxi nodded in agreement, and Xue Ru stood up and left the headquarters.

Looking at Xue Ru who was leaving, Xu Zuyi said worriedly: "Commander, is it too hasty?" Snow Fox has only about 2,000 people, plus a regiment, it is less than 4,000 people. If Guangji is lost, Wuhan will be very dangerous. ”

Bai Chongxi sighed: "Is there any way to do this?" The Eleventh Army attacked, and the eighty-fourth Army also suffered a lot of casualties in the past few days, and did not recapture Huangmei, I believe that this little girl can create a miracle, maybe the situation of the battle will change because of her. She explained that she was not fooled, but deliberately, indicating that she was willing to participate in the war, and she was still sure. Prepare as she asks, set aside reserves, and be ready to respond. ”

Xu Zuyi knew that Bai Chongxi had made two preparations, and Xue Ru became Bai Chongxi's cannon fodder knife. He also stood up slightly: "Yes, I understand." ”
