Chapter 41: Difficult to Support (3)

In the wilderness where the sun was setting, the Snow Fox Brigade all stopped, and sat down on the ground one by one, regardless of whether the ground was clean or not. Xue Ru looked at the puzzled expressions of the three squadron leaders and Lan Xun Zhou who ran over, and didn't say anything, but said to Wei Ming: "Go to Guojia Village immediately to understand the situation and ask for detailed information." ”

"Yes." Wei Ming waved his hand and ran into the distance with the four scouts. Xue Ru spread out the map and said: "You all remember what I said, with the strength of the Snow Fox Brigade, even if we completely annihilate the Japanese army in front, it will not change the entire Songhu battlefield, and the outcome will be what." Therefore, we reinforced the tax police corps, not simply to rescue and stop the devils. Blocking is always a passive defense, and in the face of aircraft, artillery, and machine guns, how long can we hold out? So, our goal is to destroy the devils and kill them in large numbers, understand? ”

These officers of the Snow Fox Brigade have heard Xue Ru say it more than once, but everyone has always had doubts. I don't know why, Xue Ru has always believed that Shanghai will inevitably be lost. The national army continues to invest troops, and Shanghai has become a decisive battle, how can it not be victorious?

Lan Xun Zhou said: "Captain, do you think we really can't hold Shanghai?" ”

Xue Ru nodded: "Yes, it's only a matter of time before Shanghai is lost, but we can't help but hold on, so it's stupid to fight for a city and a place with the Japanese army, and a large number of Japanese soldiers are the guarantee of victory." Okay, I won't say much, I have also said what should be said, you don't need to say it now, you will understand it later. Now let's take a break, check the weapons and ammunition, eat some dry food, probably for some time we will not have time to eat, and be ready for continuous combat. ”

Since it is not a blocking war, how can there be a possibility of continuous combat? But no one asked, they all returned to their squadrons and arranged for the soldiers to prepare. Lan Xun Zhou said: "Captain, the battle is fierce in front, it should be the tax police corps." An army that has withdrawn from its positions will not have too many weapons and ammunition, we should hurry. ”

Xue Ru pointed to the sky in the distance and said: "It is about to rain, once it rains, the Japanese army will inevitably stop attacking, I think the devil's pursuit of the tax police corps is fake, and it is true to attack the position of the 19th Division in a roundabout way." Therefore, they must take Guojia Village, we can attack later, we can avoid the Japanese planes, I will completely annihilate this Japanese army. ”

Lan Xun Zhou also felt it, it didn't get dark so soon, but because the clouds were very dark, it seemed to be dark. The wind was blowing, mixed with cold raindrops, and it was indeed going to rain. Fighting in the rain, unfavorable conditions, are the same for both sides.

Xue Ru said: "The first squadron is led by Xiao Yong, inserted from the middle, you lead the second squadron from the left, and I lead the third squadron from the right, giving full play to the advantage of our firepower, forcing the devils to engage in close combat, giving full play to the power of the pistol, and defeating them." ”

These Lan Xun Zhou knew that when Xue Ru brought back weapons and ammunition from the headquarters, Lan Xun Zhou and the three squadron leaders had already understood the tactics. Because Xue Ru didn't ask for a rifle, each soldier only had one base amount of ammunition, but he got back more than 100 light machine guns, the original Gerberman* was eliminated, and all the troops were replaced with light machine guns and pistols, a total of only 500 people, plus the original ones, reaching more than two machine guns in a squad.

Xue Ru used the light machine gun as *, which was also no way. The light machine gun is not as strong as *, it only has twenty rounds, but it has an advantage, that is, it can use the same caliber bullet as the pistol, and it has a long range, which is why Xue Ru used the ZB-26 machine gun.

The members of the Snow Fox Brigade ate the dry food prepared by the monks, drank the cold water in the creek, and no one spoke, and they all listened silently to the slow gunfire in the distance, worried about the blocking tax police corps.

But Xue Ru just didn't move, in fact, her heart was dripping blood, and every minute Chinese soldiers would fall, and they were using their lives to attack the Japanese army. But Xue Ru couldn't move, she had to move at the most favorable time, and she was caught off guard by the devil.

Xue Ru didn't know what the strength of the two sides was, but if the devil dared to pursue in depth, there would be no shortage of troops. The Snow Fox Brigade had only five hundred people, and there were more than a hundred recruits among them.

Yan Peng was a little excited, wiped the rifle with his hand from time to time, and reached out to touch the pistol on his waist. They didn't have machine guns, but Yan Peng believed that his marksmanship and shooting would not be too bad. 's contempt for Xue Ru made him unbearable, little girl, what's crazy, it's not that she has a good family background and has won a few battles.

One by one, these students held their breath, believing that they would not lose to those veterans when they went to war. Think of those sticks, one by one vowing revenge. But the captain said that after a few sticks, he would go to the Japanese army to find it, otherwise it would be incompetent and verify the fact that they were useless.

Wei Ming finally came back: "Captain, I have already figured out that less than a kilometer ahead is Guojia Village, a small village with less than 100 households. There are only more than 2,000 people in the tax police corps, and they are holding out with heavy casualties. The commander of the detachment was He Shaozhou, and the battle was fierce. I don't know the details, but it doesn't seem to be good, the attack was on the 7th Wing of the Japanese Army, the wing commander Izichiro Osa, with more than 2,000 troops, and an artillery brigade, and the attack was fierce. ”

Being able to figure these out so quickly proves that Wei Ming's battlefield reconnaissance ability is indeed very good. This situation surprised several squadron leaders, a wing of devils, more than 2,000 troops, even a national army division is very difficult to block, the tax police corps can hold out for such a long time, it is already very remarkable.

Including Lan Xun Zhou, they all looked at Xue Ru together. Xue Ru stood up: "Assemble, take the squadron as a unit, form a three-way column to advance towards the Japanese army, I don't care what method, get as close as possible to the devil before attacking." Two words, desperately. After defeating the devils, they will inevitably retreat back, take advantage of the victory, and pursue them to the shore of Yunzaobang to join the 19th Division. ”

"Yes." Several people stood upright together. Xue Ru looked at Xiao Yong: "You are the army that broke through in the middle, don't be coaxed by the usual bulls, if the attack is unfavorable this time, don't let me see you." ”

"Joke" Xiao Yong said disdainfully: "Why do you always have trouble with me, but don't fall behind, I still won't save you." ”

Xue Ru smiled: "Don't let me save you, just start acting." ”

Xiao Yong turned around angrily and said to Fan Tiezhu: "Big speaker, protect the captain, don't just be loud." ”

"Say one more" Fan Tiezhu reached out to grab his machete, the last thing he wanted was to be called a loudspeaker. Because Xue Ru had little strength, he shouted the order loudly, and others couldn't hear it, so he had to let Fan Tiezhu pass the order.

He spoke like thunder, and the people of the Snow Fox Brigade called him a loudspeaker. Xiao Yong just dared to provoke Fan Tiezhu with his mouth, and it was absolutely impossible to do it. The two of them didn't have the strength of Fan Tiezhu, and they grabbed him like chickens. To be honest, no one dares to compete with Fan Tiezhu yet.

From Putuo Town, the captain got a big knife for him. Like the big ring knife, it is made of stainless steel, calm and sharp, and Fan Tiezhu likes it.

Seeing that he was about to turn his face, Xiao Yong ran away and shouted: "The first squadron gathers, follow me, and let them see that the first squadron is the real first." More than 150 people grabbed their guns and ran forward with Xiao Yong.

The entire Snow Fox Brigade turned into three forces and advanced towards Guojia Village in front. It was just dark, and after a cold gust of wind, the rain finally came down. It's winter, and the cold rain hits your face, making you shiver.

The gunfire in front had fallen silent, and I didn't know if it was a break in the battle between the devils or because of the rain that stopped the attack. But the closer they got, the more the Snow Fox Brigade slowed down and sneaked towards the devil's station.

Iza Ichiro Osa was very annoyed that he could not get plane support due to the weather. This is a rapid pursuit battle, and there are not many shells with it, and the tax police regiment on the opposite side is like an unbeatable Xiaoqiang, repelling the attacks of the imperial army again and again.

The Chinese army was desperately resisting, and in some sections the Chinese soldiers did not hesitate to pull the sound* and died with the Japanese army. The battle is in a stalemate, and the only hope is that he is here, and if the main position in the center is broken through, the Chinese army will completely collapse.

The Japanese side also knew very well that if the Chinese army was given time, they would commit more troops. Three months are approaching, not to mention the destruction of China, not even Shanghai has been captured.

Matsui pinned his hopes on the direction of Hangzhou Bay, and for this reason it was necessary to contain the Chinese army in this area and prevent them from reinforcing the south. Therefore, give the divisions and regiments a death order, increase the attack, and break through the Yunzaohama defense line at any cost.

However, in the afternoon, Izichiro failed to break through the position of the tax police corps. It was raining and it was starting to get dark again, so Iza Ichiro had to give the order to stop the attack and replenish ammunition. The herald ordered to rest and eat, and prepare for tomorrow's attack, he knew that the Chinese army would not survive tomorrow.

Sitting in a tent sheltering from the rain, drinking hot water from the orderlies, Iza Ichiro calculated how to attack. He knew how many casualties he had inflicted on the Chinese army today, and he thought of occupying this place tomorrow, defeating the Chinese army, attacking the Chinese position in Hulizhai from behind, and cooperating with the 18th Brigade in front to seize the Yunzaobang position, and establishing his own meritorious service, and he was proud in his heart.

The Japanese soldiers outside were busy setting up tents to shelter from the rain, and the guard posts were sent out. The careless Iza Ichiro did not send a search team, because the reconnaissance plane reported that no Chinese troops were found around, so he was very relieved.

Besides, even if there is a small force, would they dare to attack the imperial army of a wing? If you don't have a regiment or more than a brigade, don't even think about it.

This is how the arrogant army will be defeated, Iza Ichiro couldn't imagine that the five hundred people of the bold Snow Fox Brigade would dare to start an offensive posture, wanting to defeat and destroy him, not to reinforce the defenders.

It is also customary to command tactics on the battlefield, and from the beginning of the war to the present, the Chinese army has always been passively defensive, and the increased strength is also used for defense, rarely offensive. Only when there is a fight for strategic points, there will be an offensive, otherwise, it is a defense.

The rigid command and defensive tactics of the national army caused a large number of casualties among their soldiers, this mode of thinking misled the devil, but gave Xue Ru a chance.

Iza Ichiro habitually believed that even if the Chinese army came, it would be to reinforce the 19th Division or reinforce the tax police corps to defend it, and it was impossible to boldly attack the Japanese army.

People's thinking is different, not to mention that Xue Ru is not a person of this era. She led three squadrons to withstand the rain and approached the Japanese positions. It was winter rain, and although it wasn't as heavy as in summer, it didn't get close to the Japanese position, and my clothes were already soaked. The soldiers were chilled and wanted to stand up and charge, but the order was that they must crawl forward little by little, crawling forward in the cold muddy water and in the barren grass.

On the position of Guojia Village, the devils stopped attacking, but He Shaozhou did not look happy at all. The headquarters telegraphed that reinforcements had been sent to the Snow Fox Brigade, and the 26th Division was also on its way to arrive, but it might not arrive until tomorrow.

He Shaozhou checked it and found that in the afternoon's battle, there were less than 3,000 people, and the total number of casualties reached nearly 1,000, and the danger was that 80 percent of all ammunition had been consumed. Some of the soldiers evened out no more than a dozen bullets per person,* and there were no more.

Song Zhuoyue ordered all the soldiers to put on bayonets, and tomorrow they can only use bayonets and devils to fight hard. Most of the soldiers hid in their houses to avoid the rain, but in a small village of 100 families, the people had already fled and had nothing to eat. Adjutant Ding Chong brought over a bowl of gruel: "Commander, drink some." ”

He Shaozhou didn't answer: "Give it to the wounded, I'm not hungry." ”
