Chapter 59: The Last Attack (3)

Seeing that it was really Chief of Staff Wu Yizhi and Xue Yue, Xue Ru was very excited: "Commander, you're fine, great." He hurriedly stood up and saluted.

Xue Ru's joy and excitement, the worry in his tone and the joy of seeing himself made Xue Yue very happy in his heart, and it was a joy to be cared for and cared for.

Xue Yue is in his forties, and his children are older than Xue Ru. After so many years of being away, he has been fighting the world all the year round, and he rarely takes care of his family. Besides, he is a serious person, and he also has some feudal thoughts, and he is basically very serious when he returns home, and the children are also very restrained in front of him.

In Xue Yue's view, Xue Ru is like his own child, and this care makes the originally unfamiliar relationship between the two people sublimated in an instant. smiled and raised his hand in return: "I can't die yet, I can't finish fighting the devil, how can I die." ”

Wu Yizhi knew Xue Yue very well, and the commander rarely talked about personal feelings, and his speech was a little stiff. Although he is a person with military merits, status, and qualifications in the national army, he has a general relationship with the chairman of the National People's Congress and does not have a good relationship with many generals.

Such a tone is very rare, and he looked at Xue Yue a little strangely. Wu Yuzhao on the side came over: "Subordinates, see the commander, chief of staff." ”

There was no danger, the commander was safe and sound, and the Snow Fox Brigade was happy.

Xue Ru is a woman in the end, no matter whether she is a soldier before or now, no matter how she is a soldier, she is a girl in the end, she is very careful. Seeing that Xue Yue was very tired and his body was also very dirty, he said, "Commander, let's wash up first, eat something and rest well, and then report to you." ”

Xue Yue was really tired, for several days, he continued to transfer and fight, and he was still injured on his body, lurking and hurrying, making his body dirty and smelly, and very uncomfortable. After all, high-ranking officers have been in action for many years, how can there be such a time to fight. Like this, it seems that it was still the time of the Eastern Crusade and the Northern Expedition. He nodded: "It's okay, I'll talk about it later." ”

Xue Ru said: "Wenxiu, arrange for the commander to rest." ”

Xue Yue and Wu Yizhi left, Wu Yuzhao and Xiang Wenbin were worried about what they had just said, and when they saw Xue Yue leaving, they hurriedly asked; "Captain, tell me how to fight?"

Xue Ru pointed to the map and said: "You see, the devil doesn't know why, the 101st Wing of the 101st Division, they were hit by the Tax Police Corps and the 87th Division in Liuhang, Dachang, and Suzhou Creek, and they were already heavy casualties. Ito Masaki didn't know whether he wanted to fight for credit, and sent a supplementary wing into Jiading. However, it may be that the casualties were too great and did not attack Taicang. So we inflicted a heavy blow on him and fought to annihilate the devils of this wing. ”

The Japanese army had a full wing of more than 3,800 people, and at this time there were 3,000 people who were not at full strength. The entire personnel of the Snow Fox Brigade were only less than double the strength of the Japanese army, and Xue Ru actually wanted to eliminate a wing.

According to the report, the casualties of the first regiment in the blocking battle in the past few days were not small. It's just that the Snow Fox Brigade has special tactics, otherwise it would have been wiped out long ago if it were an ordinary army, and Taicang would not be able to hold it.

The 13th Division, which could attack, was thunderous, but there was no way. suffered a lot of casualties, but did not capture Taicang. Lieutenant General Ogisu had already reprimanded Major General Yamada several times for attacking.

But Yamada Hijiji can't help it, he can only be the captain of the wing who keeps scolding and attacking. Requesting aircraft to help in the war, coupled with naval artillery bombardment, the ancient town of Taicang has been unrecognizable.

The unit that held on was said to be the Snow Fox Brigade that was famous in Shanghai. They did not stick to one place, and sometimes abandoned their positions in succession, and even fought guerrilla warfare with the imperial army. Although Taicang was captured several times, it was recaptured at night, and there were many casualties. For more than ten days, the two sides were in a tug-of-war, and there were casualties among each other, but the Japanese army just couldn't cross Taicang. However, if there is no teaching corps of troops, the first regiment of Snow Fox alone will not be able to hold it.

What made Yamada angry the most was that the 101st Division had already occupied Jiading, but because of the heavy casualties, it almost lost the ability to fight again, so it had to stop the attack and turn to rest. If there is Jiading's flank attack assistance, the hope is much greater. Helpless, Ogisu Lijun reported to the Dispatch Army Headquarters and asked for assistance.

Matsui Ishine was also very annoyed, he kept receiving reports that on the battlefield, it was this snow fox brigade that was causing chaos to the imperial army, and constantly killing and injuring a large number of imperial soldiers.

However, their whereabouts were uncertain, and as corps-level commanders, how could they manage a wing-level operation, so they had to order the 16th Division that landed at Baimaokou to give reinforcements, and then no longer care about these.

Matsui Ishine is now concerned about the issue of the Japanese army's line. The rapid collapse of the Chinese army made all Japanese divisions see the possibility of occupying Nanjing, and they all demanded to pursue it north and directly capture Nanjing.

However, the base camp did not agree, and after consulting the emperor, the Japanese attack and pursuit were temporarily suspended.

Xue Ru didn't know that her appearance had already caused some subtle changes in the anti-Japanese battlefield, that is, there were fewer casualties than in history, and the retreating Chinese army was not so chaotic. In particular, Taicang and Kunshan are still in the hands of the Chinese army, so that the 13th and 6th divisions of the Japanese army did not advance to Suzhou.

Wu Yuzhao asked worriedly: "If you want to destroy the 101st Wing, you must have the entire force, but how can Kunshan be defended?" Once Kunshan is lost, we have no way back. ”

Xue Ru said very confidently; "Don't worry, listen to me."

Xue Ru even said, and soon the two of them figured it out, and said to Wen Bin in admiration: "When the devils meet the captain, they are unlucky." ”

Xue Ru smiled and said: "Actually, it's not that the devils are stupid, it's that they are too arrogant, and the arrogant soldiers will be defeated." ”

The two of them figured out Xue Ru's purpose and immediately went out to make arrangements. The whole of Kunshan began to move, and even the soldiers who defended it did not remain. Only one second squadron was left to hold the Xujia Bridge to guard against the troops of the 6th Division.

The other troops began to bury things, and Zhao Yan took his demolition team to make the final arrangements. The soldiers buried all the food, and distributed the rest to the few people in the city, so that they could leave the city as soon as it got dark. After dark, Kunshan City was already an empty city.

In the Xue Ru headquarters of Kunshan School, Xue Yue and Wu Yizhi were woken up. Looking at the clean military uniform beside him, Xue Yue asked, "Do you have a military operation?" ”

Xue Ru nodded: "According to the reconnaissance situation, the 16th Division of the Japanese Army has landed in Baimaokou and occupied Xie Jiaji, and Fushan Port will soon be unable to hold it." Taicang has been surrounded on three sides, and there are only more than 3,000 people left in the Snow Fox Brigade, and it is impossible to hold two places. Once Taicang is lost, Kunshan will not be able to hold it anyway, so we must also be prepared to retreat. ”

How could Xue Yue not know, and asked, "What is the order of the Theater Command?" ”

Xue Ru said: "By order of the Military Committee, the Snow Fox Brigade was subsumed into the Nanjing Garrison and directly under the command of the theater of operations, and retreated to Wuxi. ”

Xue Yue nodded: "What are your plans?" ”

Xue Ru said to Wu Yuzhao: "Report the situation to the commander and the chief of staff." ”

Wu Yuzhao gave a detailed introduction to the situation of the entire battlefield. Xue Yue and Wu Yizhi looked at the map on the wall and were silent, the situation was really bad.

Xue Ru said: "No way, I originally wanted the commander to take a good rest, but the situation is special, so I have to let you leave Kunshan overnight." ”

Xue Yue asked strangely, "Aren't you also planning to give up Kunshan?" Why not retreat together? ”

Xue Ru smiled: "How can I be cheap devils and occupy Kunshan Taicang, they will have to pay the price." Let's go first, Commander, I have a request, and I hope the Commander will agree. ”

Xue Yue didn't know what Xue Ru was going to do, so he said, "You say." ”

Xue Ru said: "I want to lead the troops to withdraw to Nanjing, but the order is to go to Wuxi. I hope that the commander can talk to Commander Tang after he arrives in Nanjing. ”

Xue Yue didn't know why Xue Ru wanted to go to Nanjing, maybe he was pessimistic about the war. After all, after several conversations, it can be heard that Xue Ru has a failed view of the battle of Shanghai.

Look at the clothes around him, in such a short period of time, they were dried and ironed in the cold winter, and the underwear was all new, which made Xue Yue feel like he was going home, and he naturally had a close feeling for Xue Ru. smiled: "It's okay, I'll report it after I arrive in Nanjing, you can look at it yourself and decide, if there is a problem, just say that I arranged it, although the left wing army and the former enemy command were revoked, but I am still the commander of the 19th Group Army, you belong to the troops in the theater, just tell them that it is my order." ”

Xue Ru stood up happily: "Thank you Commander, you also have to be careful, there are also devils along the way, especially there are many spies and traitors." ”

Xue Yue smiled: "Don't worry, I will wait for you in Nanjing." ”

Xue Ru remembered: "Commander, I still have some soldiers in Nanjing, can you take care of it?" Seeing Xue Ru's appearance, Xue Yue nodded in agreement.

Xue Ru said to Wu Yuqiang beside Xue Yue: "Although you return to the commander, I still treat you as a member of the Snow Fox Brigade and protect the commander, otherwise you will look good." ”

Wu Yuqiang stood upright: "Don't worry, captain, I will return to the team when I arrive in Nanjing." Absolute protection of the commander's safety. ”

Wu Yizhi said with a smile: "Brother Boling, do you think she looks like Yan Min?" ”

Xue Yue smiled: "Yan Min doesn't have this ability. If only I had such a daughter. ”

Wu Yizhi and Xue Yue have a good personal relationship, and they are friends, so they said with a smile: "Or you can recognize this daughter." ”

Xue Ru didn't feel anything, she treated Xue Yue like this, completely out of Xue Yue's support and trust in herself, which can be regarded as gratitude. However, she did have the intention of looking for a backer at the beginning, and her respect and gratitude made her naturally care about Xue Yue.

Wu Yizhi's words made her heart move, but she didn't speak, in the era of fighting for her father in later generations, no matter how capable she is, it is better to have a good father, who can fight for more than ten years.

But the derogatory title of godfather made Xue Ru a little disgusted. Although he saw the trace of expectation in Xue Yue's eyes, he still smiled and said: "Xue Ru doesn't dare to climb high, if Commander Xue doesn't dislike it, Xue Ru will be my uncle." ”

Xue Ru's talent and level made Xue Yue want to have such a daughter, but others didn't want to, and he couldn't force it, wasn't that shameless? Hearing Xue Ru's words, he smiled freely: "Okay, uncle, it's also a very honorable thing to have a niece like you who can fight." ”

Wu Yizhi knew Xue Yue very well and knew that he liked Xue Ru very much. Whether it is ability or other aspects, she is an admirable little girl. Besides, Xue Ru's exploits will also bring benefits to Xue Yue, and he wants to bring Xue Ru into Xue Yue's camp. He also said: "Since you don't object, when you go to Nanjing, we will set up wine for you and let your family know you." ”

It's also good to have a good relationship with Xue Yue, but I don't have any foundation. Leaning against the big tree is a good shade, after all, Xue Yue is a famous general of the Anti-Japanese War, so he bows respectfully and calls uncle.

Xue Yue was also very happy, even if he was his own subordinates, and they were all surnamed Xue, he said with a smile: "Okay, but my uncle doesn't have a gift now, you can go to Nanjing to make up for you." ”

Xue Ru is very aware of the power of selling cuteness, but her actual age is not fifteen or sixteen years old, and her psychological age is already twenty-four years old. But he still stretched out his hand: "Don't go back, pull the hook,"

This obvious child's action caused Xue Yue to laugh out loud. He rarely has such a time, when he returns home, even in the face of his favorite youngest daughter Yan Min, he is very serious. In front of the child, when there was no such time, Xue Ru gave him a different feeling. Stretched out his hand and hooked Xue Ru's little finger: "Okay, promise you." ”

Xue Ru sent Xue Yue and Wu Yizhi away, and at the same time asked Wu Yuqiang to lead a squad of the guard squadron and combine them with Huoda's guard battalion to protect Xue Yue on the road. The other guard squadrons were placed under the command of Tian Jiasheng, and Tian Jiasheng was the leader of the guard squadron.

As soon as Xue Yue and the others left, Xue Ru immediately put his face serious: "Deputy Captain Xiang, have you arranged it?" ”

Xiang Wenbin hurriedly said: "It's all arranged, and you can leave at any time." ”

Xue Ru said: "Assemble, leave Kunshan, and go to Jiading." ”

Soon, the entire Snow Fox Brigade in Kunshan City left Kunshan City. When they were a few miles away from the city, the troops raised torches and quickened their march. Xue Ru said to Wei Ming: "Send someone to rush outside Jiading City first and contact the first regiment of Chief of Staff Lan." ”
