Chapter 69: Lack of Offensive Awareness

Wu Jianxiong looked at the sky outside and knew that the Japanese army had just arrived, and it was impossible to attack tonight, they were all troops withdrawn from Shanghai, and everyone knew what it was like to face the devil.

glanced at Xue Ru and Xie Chengrui, who didn't react at all, and they were a little dissatisfied, and they didn't see that they meant to help. Since it is famous, why don't you fight when the Japanese army arrives at this time? It seems that the great victory in Jiading and Kunshan is just blown out.

Said apologetically: "I'm sorry everyone, the Japanese army is already approaching the position of Tennoji, and I am arranging a defense below, and I am out of company." ”

In Xie Chengrui and Xiang Wenbin's hearts, they really didn't plan to care, knowing that Xue Ru was not running away, but they didn't know why they were in a hurry to return to Nanjing. Since it was the position of the 154th Division, of course there was no need to care about the retreating Snow Fox Brigade.

But Xue Ru didn't think so, she understood the urgency of the Japanese army, and the occupation of Nanjing was a matter for all troops to scramble. Is there a greater victory for the military than the capture of the enemy's capital?

Moreover, the Japanese army had become extremely arrogant, and the Chinese army was vulnerable, believing that it would be able to occupy Nanjing quickly and force the Nationalist government to surrender. Therefore, the speed of the attack and the courage of the attack have reached the point of having no scruples.

The consequence of underestimating the enemy is destruction. Since the 9th Division is so rushing to die, fulfill him.

Originally, Xue Ru was in a hurry to prepare in Nanjing and didn't have time to deal with him, so he didn't stop knowing that the 9th Division was behind him. But when I got here, it was still a wing, and I really didn't take the Chinese army seriously. Entering the attack position at night is simply looking for death. Put down the teacup in his hand and said: "Chief of Staff Wu, inform the troops, tell the brothers to work hard, they still have to fight, rest for a while, assemble, and destroy the 35th Wing." ”

Along the way, the Snow Fox Brigade was chased by the 9th Division, and he was already angry in his heart. But in the encirclement of the Japanese army, everyone knows that they can't stop fighting, otherwise they will be surrounded.

Now that he has reached the position of his own people, of course, he has no worries. Besides, Xue Ru was in a hurry to return to Nanjing, so he didn't know why. Since Xue Ru said to fight, of course he didn't object to it. Wu Yuzhao immediately stood upright: "Yes." ”

After saying that, he left the headquarters, this situation made Wu Jianxiong stunned, a wing of the Japanese army, actually said that they were killed, and it was so easy, didn't the devil fight back? It can be seen that the Snow Fox Brigade is indeed crazy. Out of a responsible mind: "Captain Xue, it's better to be cautious, the 35th Wing is an elite wing of the Japanese army, with a full complement of more than 3,000 people." ”

Xue Ru is not arrogant and ignorant, she knows very well the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army. It is to understand so that you can be sure of victory, know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not lose a hundred battles, and the devil knows too little about the snow fox. smiled and said: "Thank you, it's just a wing, it hasn't been put in the eyes of the snow fox yet, if we hadn't fought continuously and the ammunition was insufficient, I would have destroyed them a long time ago." ”

"Crazy, too arrogant" This is Wu Jianxiong's evaluation of Xue Ru in his heart. Since you don't care, of course Wu Jianxiong doesn't care. If you really defeat the 35th Wing, it will be like doing yourself a favor.

Xue Ru said, "Master Wizard, can you do me a favor?" ”

Wu Jianxiong thought that Xue Ru asked him to send troops to help, and said with some pride: "What are you helping?" ”

Xue Ru said: "We don't have too much ammunition, just help the wizard head replenish it." I'll let you know and add it to you as soon as possible. ”

didn't even ask himself to send troops to help, which made Wu Jianxiong's face a little unbearable, too underestimated. The Guangdong army is a Guangdong army, and its combat effectiveness can be regarded as elite, so what is so great about the Central Army. Some dissatisfied said: "We're not bad at fighting devils, the ammunition is fine, do you need us to send troops?" ”

It seems that Wu Jianxiong is not greedy for life and afraid of death, so he smiled and said: "If your master is interested, you might as well join the battle together, but you are not familiar with the snow fox tactics, and it is impossible for us to wipe them all out after defeating them, so please please pursue them." The snow fox rushed back to Nanjing, and there was still something to do. ”

No matter how you listen to it, Xue Ru despises them, which makes Wu Jianxiong very dissatisfied. But the devil who attacked a wing, Wu Jianxiong was a little bottomless, once he failed, what did he use to defend his position? It's better to be cautious. He nodded and said, "It's okay, you need the 154th Division to speak." ”

Xue Ru is also arrogant, Jiading reported it by himself in the first battle, and he dared to suspect that it was fake, it didn't matter if he looked down on himself, but it was a shame to lie about his exploits, so the Kunshan battle was not reported at all.

Since the 35th Wing stuck its head out of its own, let's teach him a lesson. Anyway, I don't care about delaying these hours. Let the troops in Nanjing see if Snow Fox lied about his war exploits.

For many reasons, Xue Ru planned to fight this battle, and she was also a little resentful of Wu Jianxiong's sarcasm and contempt, so she didn't use him so arrogantly. For the Snow Fox Brigade, they don't care about a wing of devils at all.

Immediately after receiving the order, they immediately assembled, prepared for battle, and received ammunition from the 154th Division, and when they saw the ammunition that the Snow Fox Brigade wanted, the 154th Division was surprised, because each soldier was replenished with twenty pistol bullets, and the rest were machine gun bullets. The rifle only had five rounds. Just fill the chamber of the gun.

The most is *, almost all the * of the 154th Division was emptied, so frightened that the quartermaster of the division headquarters hurriedly sent someone to the city overnight to ask for replenishment. Xue Ru didn't care about this at all, since Wu Jianxiong agreed, he would do it. Besides, there is Nanjing behind him, and there is no shortage of these conventional ammunition.

Soon after, the squadron leaders gathered together for a meeting, Wu Jianxiong was embarrassed to participate, and he was not invited. Regarding Xue Ru's dissatisfaction, Wu Jianxiong could also see that the dissatisfaction of the local troops with the Central Army was almost an open matter, and everyone knew it in their hearts.

Xue Ru arranged the tactics of several pairs and said: "Everyone, remember, this time you can't fight a war of annihilation, remember the lesson in Kunshan, if we don't want to completely annihilate the Japanese army, there will not be more than 500 people who came before the formation to be injured." After the defeat, he pursued Sanlidi, quickly retreated, and rushed back to Nanjing, and there were important things. ”

Everyone nodded in understanding. Xue Ru said: "Chief of Staff Wu led the corps headquarters to set off immediately and rush to Nanjing, and will be able to arrive in Nanjing early tomorrow morning, contact Lai Changwen and them, and prepare supplies at the women's college." Lan Xun Zhou also went back and prepared supplies as required. ”

Both of them were dissatisfied that they did not need to participate in such a battle. Xue Ru glared at Lan Xun Zhou: "What are you doing?" Execute the command. ”

Wu Yuzhao knew that Xue Ru didn't want to reprimand himself, but just said Lan Xun Zhou, so he immediately said, "Yes, we are waiting for you in the city." ”

Xue Ru said: "There is no time, hurry up the arrangements, especially the supplementary materials, you must get it, the more the better." ”

The two didn't know why there was no time, the Japanese army had not yet begun to attack, but only launched an attack on the outer positions. But how do they know that the thunder and rain are thin, calling for the earth-shattering defense of Nanjing, what to live and die with Nanjing, but it only lasted less than a week, strictly speaking, four or five days. Xue Ruzhen didn't know what kind of face Tang Shengzhi used to live.

After a short nightfall, Wu Yuzhao and Lan Xunzhou left with the confidential personnel of the brigade headquarters, radio stations and documents. The reorganized Snow Fox Brigade, which had become eight squadrons, assembled at Tennoji, left the main position and headed in the direction of the Japanese army.

Looking at the Snow Fox Brigade leaving, Wu Jianxiong was a little puzzled, where did their confidence come from? The Snow Fox Brigade did not even have 3,000 people, and the Japanese army had an integrated wing of more than 3,400 people.

Wang Zhang, the chief of staff of the division beside him, said: "Division commander, can they win?" ”

Wu Jianxiong said: "I don't know, Xue Ru is young and impulsive, but Xie Chengrui I still know, this person has studied in France for many years, and he is also a graduate of Lu University, and he has also been an instructor of a military academy, not an impulsive person." If you don't even oppose it, then there is a possibility of victory. ”

"So what are we going to do?" Wang Zhang asked.

Wu Jianxiong said: "Gather the 343rd Brigade, follow the advance, prepare to respond, if they fail, they will come back, and if they win, they will attack, and strive to annihilate the devils." ”

Wang Zhang said: "Isn't this okay? If they win, are we suspected of robbing the credit, these central armies still don't mess with them, they themselves will be sent to death. ”

"Fart" Wu Jianxiong was furious: "This is the War of Resistance, we will not see the same as them." How to say that it is also the Chinese army, and now is the time for the War of Resistance. ”

Wang Zhang hurriedly stood upright: "It's the division commander, and the subordinates are wrong." ”

Wu Jianxiong sighed, during the Anti-Japanese War, all armies put down their prejudices, Chairman Jiang even accepted the CCP, what else can't be put down. The Guangdong army came all the way to Guangdong to protect the country, not a certain person.

The 343rd Brigade assembled, and with the Snow Fox Brigade approaching Guojiaji, where the Japanese army was stationed.

The vanguard of the attack was the 9th Wing of the 6th Brigade of the 35th Division, Wing Commander Fujii Suekichi Osa. The most advanced force, and also the main force of the attack, the Japanese army had already divided its troops into several ways to attack at the same time, and the resistance of the Chinese army was no longer as resolute as it was in Shanghai. What Wufu line, what Xicheng line, did not block the attack of the imperial army.

The orders of the headquarters were carried out very thoroughly by the troops. According to the order of the command of the dispatch army, if there is no food, it should be collected on the spot, and if there is no ammunition, bayonets should be used, and the speed must be fast.

The troops of the 10th Army were on the left and the Shanghai Dispatch Army was on the right, attacking in the direction of Nanjing, all wanting to be the first to reach Nanjing and achieve the first battle feat. As the vanguard of Fujii, Fuji Sueyoshi Osa is, of course, attacking at the fastest speed.

He didn't know that the retreating troops in front were the Snow Fox Brigade, and in fact, they were not chasing the Snow Fox Brigade, but just advancing rapidly. Xue Ru and the others thought they were chasing them. Besides, day and night, concealed action, the devil doesn't know, if he knew, he would have sent other troops to surround him.

Xue Ru was also a little self-inflicted, thinking that people were biting them and not letting them go. has been chasing here, Fujii Sueyoshi Osa is really wronged. It was this misunderstanding that made the Snow Fox Brigade hate the 35th Wing to death. Guojiaji is two or three miles away from Tiannoji Temple. Very close, so to speak.

Attacking the troops at such a close range cannot but say that the Japanese army is too arrogant and has already despised the Chinese army to the end. The troops who did not cooperate on the left and right went deep alone, but the Chinese army just ate this set. I didn't think about counterattacking, waiting for the enemy to attack.

As if it would not attack, there was a division on the opposite side, and even if it was a disabled unit, it was twice the strength of the Japanese army, and it was just waiting for the devils to attack. In fact, the best defense is offense, and passive defense will be breached sooner or later.

When Wu Jianxiong received the report, he didn't react at all, but was about to prepare for defense, and Xue Ru almost wanted to jump up and kick him hard. It was this kind of passive defense that allowed the Japanese army to succeed again and again.

This situation unexpectedly made Xue Ru understand why Chinese football has been failing, that is, there is no sense of attack. Looking at the performance of the Chinese team on the field, you can know that they always defend in front of their own goal, which is the danger zone, and a single negligence will score. No matter which national team, it is all offensive, only the Chinese team, that is, the defense, no matter how good the defense is, it is only 0-0, and it will never win.

If you want to win, you have to attack, force the opponent to defend, and have a chance to win, but unfortunately this idea has been ingrained, and it seems that it has been like this since the Republic of China era. No wonder it is said that after the Han and Tang Dynasties, China lost its bloodiness, and the Chinese no longer knew what an offensive was.

With resentment and disappointment, Xue Ru led the Snow Fox Brigade to Guojiaji, and when there were still thousands of meters away, the eight squadrons were divided into three parts, four squadrons in the middle, two on each side, and lurked towards the Japanese camp.

This is a shallow hilly area with high and low heights, and taking advantage of the terrain, the troops are crawling forward quietly without breathing. In the offensive warfare of the Japanese troops, in addition to the necessary artillery, they had a base amount of ammunition on their bodies, carrying a day's rations, and not much logistical baggage.

Guojiaji is not a big village, a wing of the Japanese army occupied this place and drove the people out, basically killing and robbing them all, because they wanted to live in themselves, so they had not burned them all. Arrange temporary defensive positions around the village.

Although it was believed that the Chinese army would not dare to attack, out of caution and infantry discipline, they still set up temporary defensive positions around it. Fujii Sueyoshi Osa, who lived in the middle of the village, did not expect that just as he was about to rest and attack early tomorrow morning, the Snow Fox Brigade of more than 2,500 people formed a three-way offensive formation and approached his wing.
