Chapter 67: The Reed Swing Reorganization (1)

The Japanese army dispatched planes, dispatched search teams, and even gave orders to traitors and secret services who surrendered in various places to be sure to find the Snow Fox Brigade. They fought continuously, and simply did not have time to resupply.

The Japanese commander was not an idiot, Kunshan, Jiading to Taicang, within this triangular area, the distance was not far, and the rapid movement of troops of three or four thousand people proved that they must not have heavy weapons and baggage to follow.

A lightly armed unit, no matter how strong its combat effectiveness is, it is difficult to last, not to mention that according to the reports of the soldiers who escaped, the Snow Fox Brigade is proficient in urban combat, and most of them are short weapons, not even heavy machine guns and mortars. It was all because of the cunning of Xue Ru, a woman, that she succeeded repeatedly.

Therefore, the commander of the dispatch army, Matsui Ishone, who received the report, gave orders to all divisions and regiments to be cautious in fighting against the Chinese army, especially the Snow Fox Brigade. At the same time, he ordered the secret services in various places to find out who Xue Ru was as soon as possible.

Based on all aspects of intelligence, the Japanese side also knew nothing about this Snow Fox Brigade, especially Xue Ru, and the intelligence showed that the Japanese army did not believe it at all. A sixteen or seventeen-year-old woman, without any background, could make the Imperial Japanese Army fail again and again.

The Snow Fox Brigade attracted the attention of the Supreme Commander of the Japanese Army because it was the first time that this Snow Fox Brigade with a red silk scarf around its neck appeared at Luodian, and in less than two months today, the casualties in the hands of the Snow Fox Brigade have exceeded the strength of a brigade.

If you count them all, it is close to four wings, that is the strength of a division, and the Japanese army cannot help but pay attention to it, and how many people did the imperial army lose in the entire Songhu battlefield?

As soon as the loss was a wing, the situation had already attracted the attention of the Japanese high-brass, so the army and naval aviation dispatched planes to conduct low-altitude reconnaissance within a radius of 100 miles with Kunshan as the center. I hope to find this snow fox brigade that makes the imperial army have a headache and resentment.

But in one day, the Snow Fox Brigade disappeared, how could it be, they were not one hundred and eighty people, but two or three thousand, and they could go to the sky or the ground. The class obedience system of the Japanese army made them scold one level at a time, but there was no way.

No one would have imagined that the place where Xue Ru and them were hiding would be so weird. In fact, Xue Ru and the others didn't go far, the battle in Kunshan was almost over at dawn, and of course it was impossible to withdraw too far.

Longxing Village, not far from Kunshan, is more than ten miles away, and in the reeds on the shore of Chengyang Lake, Xue Ru's entire army is hidden here.

In terms of big strategy, Xue Ru still can't figure it out, and he doesn't know where to start, but in terms of tactics, it's easy to solve. The Japanese planes could not fly at night, they had just occupied these areas, the traitor maintenance club had not yet been established, and the Japanese army had few troops and could not cover all areas, and Xue Ru knew all these weaknesses.

Now that you know these weaknesses, you certainly have a way to deal with them. Tian Jiasheng was ordered to lead the guard squadron and the personnel directly under the brigade headquarters to enter here in advance to prepare.

This is winter, it is the dry season, and the water level of Longxing Lake, a sub-lake of Chengyang Lake, has dropped. The large area of the surrounding reed pond has no water, and it is all silt and reeds. Tian Jiasheng, who arrived here, harvested reeds around and spread reeds in the reeds on the water's edge, and the entire snow fox brigade sat in the reeds at this time.

More than one person tall, dense reeds hide thousands of people. Soldiers on guard around were told not to make a sound, not to stand up and not to move. If they find someone, they will be arrested and detained first.

The devils searched the world outside, but they fought all night, and the soldiers who traveled a hundred and ten miles back and forth slept like dead pigs one by one.

But Xue Ru couldn't sleep, from the time she fought herself to the present, she didn't have time to think about anything else, she just spent every day in battle. Transfer, lurking, attacking and retreating, fighting to the death, the rest of the time is to think about the anti-Japanese war that you can recall. Every battle, every battle, the strength of the Japanese army, tactics, strategic offensive directions.

There is also the form of China, what makes Xue Ru the most headache is that he crossed into a soldier of the National Army, and now he is an officer of the National Army, and he has also become Xue Yue's godniece, but he did not cross into the New Fourth Army of the Eighth Route Army. But after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Xue Ru knew the outcome.

What will she do if she doesn't die? Is it to fight a civil war? Or dodge in advance? These questions bothered her, and she didn't have time to think about anything else.

Now she is thinking about what to do in Nanjing after leaving here? I couldn't change the ending of Shanghai, that is, I only have a few hundred people, and now there are a few thousand, can I change the ending of Nanjing? It seems that it is also a fool's dream.

Thinking carefully about the course of the defense of Nanjing, my head hurts when I think about it, and I can't know how to change the outcome of Nanjing.

After thinking about it for a long time, I have to admit that it is almost impossible to hold Nanjing, and the only thing I can do is the same as Shanghai, which is to reduce unnecessary casualties of the national army. Try to reduce the massacre of the people in Nanjing by the Japanese army.

How to reduce it? Xue Ru remembered that in a later article analyzing the failure of Nanjing, it was said that Tang Shengzhi wanted to defend Nanjing, but he did not evacuate the people and did not retreat in an orderly manner, which was the main mistake of Nanjing's fiasco.

In fact, everyone knows that they can't hold Nanjing, but the retreat order is inconsistent, the troops retreat without carrying out a scattered breakthrough, they are all concentrated in Xiaguan, hundreds of thousands of troops, hundreds of thousands of people, even just open a city gate, the 36th Division did not know the order to retreat, did not let the troops out of the city.

The more she thought about these questions, the more Xue Ru felt heartache. 300,000! It is because of his great ambition and sparseness, Tang Shengzhi, the scum at both ends of the first rat. The 300,000 soldiers and civilians who were killed were all made by this bastard.

If you want to solve the Nanjing problem, the key is him, but will he listen to what he says? I'm afraid that I am a small captain, and it is difficult to meet Tang Shengzhi, right?

After thinking about it for several hours, he didn't come up with any good way, which made Xue Ru have a headache and rubbed his temples vigorously with his hands. It seems that I have to take one step at a time, and I can't help it.

Seeing Xue Ru's appearance, Xie Chengrui, who was sitting on the side, said: "Captain Xue, don't think about it if you can't think of it, you will remember it slowly." ”

Xue Ru knew that Xie Chengrui misunderstood that he wanted to lose his memory, and smiled lightly: "It's okay, Head Xie, do you think Nanjing can be defended?" ”

Xie Chengrui pondered: "No, Nanjing is a dead land, it has no strategic depth, and there are not many dangers around it to defend." Behind it is the Yangtze River, and since Jiangyin has been lost, there is no defense on the Yangtze River. ”

Xue Ru nodded, it seems that Xie Chengrui, an officer who stayed in France, is still very smart: "How long do you think you can hold it?" ”

Xie Chengrui looked at Xue Ru, and he felt strange, such a problem was not something she should consider at her level. Even the commander of a group army does not need to think about whether to hold Nanjing or not, and for how long.

That was a matter for the Supreme Command, a matter for Chairman Chiang, not for their level. He is just a colonel and regiment commander, even if Xue Ru is now at the level of a brigade commander. Shaking his head, he said: "This is not something we consider, soldiers should take obedience to orders as their duty." In the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression to serve the country, Xie did not hesitate to die on the battlefield at the cost of martyrdom. ”

Seeing Xue Ru's expression, Xie Chengrui said helplessly: "It's not that Xie doesn't care about the fate of the country, it's that it's useless for us to think about it, and it won't work." ”

Wu Yuzhao also said angrily: "Head Xie is right, what's the use of wanting to?" In the battle in Shanghai, they all understood that they should not fight like this, but even the theater command could not do it. Commander Xue Yue and Commander Chen Cheng have mentioned several times that they hope to withdraw from Shanghai, let the devils fight in the interior, and avoid the superiority of naval guns and aircraft. ”

Xue Ru shook his head: "Nanjing is different from Shanghai, it is the capital, and it is related to the entire national war of resistance. Perseverance is necessary. But ......"

Xue Ru couldn't go on, because if he said it again, he would be exposed, and he wouldn't be able to explain how he knew. The two of them didn't know why Xue Ru suddenly stopped talking. Ji Min said: "Captain Xie is right, didn't Captain Xue also say that the main thing is to eliminate the living force of devils?" ”

Lan Xun Zhou has been completely subsumed into the Snow Fox Brigade, and said directly: "You still say it, how you say to fight, we will fight." We're not afraid of devils anyway. ”

Xie Chengrui also said; "That is, in the first battle of Jiading and the first battle of Kunshan, the Japanese army annihilated two wings. The entire Snow Fox Brigade listens to you, and if you say how to fight, we will follow. ”

In this unit, Xie Chengrui has the highest qualifications and military rank. Although Ji Min is also the head of the colonel, he is from the local security forces, which is not despised at all. Xiang Wenbin is also the colonel's commander, but he is from the Sichuan Army, which is a local miscellaneous unit, and he is equal to Ji Min.

Wu Yuzhao is also a colonel, he is an officer of the staff department, and he is a direct leader of the troops. Xie Chengrui was the first to speak, and of course everyone else agreed, and they all listened to Xue Ru.

Xue Ru said solemnly: "Thank you for your trust, I won't be polite to you, since you believe me, I will take the Snow Fox Brigade to beat the devils." After entering Nanjing, we defended Jinling Women's College, which was the rear, and if the devils did not capture Nanjing, we would basically not have a fight. But we must be prepared to hold on, and if we find the scattered soldiers, we will immediately take them in and integrate them into the Snow Fox Brigade to increase our combat effectiveness. ”

Lan Xun Zhou said in surprise: "Do you think Nanjing will be lost?" ”

Xue Ru couldn't care so much anymore, and said directly: "Not only will it be lost, but it will be very fast, and we won't have too much time to prepare." ”

Several people didn't understand that Shanghai faced more than 200,000 Japanese troops and held out for three months, would Nanjing fall soon? Xue Ru couldn't explain, so he didn't explain: "After entering Nanjing, Chief of Staff Wu immediately went to the garrison headquarters to receive our supply ammunition. Blue Cache immediately contacted Lai Changwen and asked them to return to the team. The Snow Fox Brigade became a general team, with a brigade under it. There were no other orders, and Commander Xie's regiment was also incorporated into the Snow Fox and turned into eight brigades of four squadrons each. Establishment of the General Staff. Chief of Staff Wu is the chief of staff, and Lan Xun Zhou is the deputy chief of staff. Other officers Xie Regiment Commander arranged. ”

Xue Ru's decision surprised and puzzled several people, is it necessary to expand the army to this establishment? Eight brigades with four squadrons. Even if each squadron is one hundred and fifty people, it is five or six thousand troops. Xie Chengrui asked, "Can you tell me why?" ”

Xue Ru said: "I said that the phenomenon of Shanghai's collapse will still occur, I don't know if you believe it or not." But I can tell you, it will come. We won't make the same mistake this time, and all the troops we gathered, no matter who they are, will all be included in the Snow Fox Corps. ”

This time, several people stopped talking, and for a long time, Lan Xun Zhou said with a smile: "Are you really a fox spirit?" Can you pinch it? ”

Several people laughed when he said this, but they all doubted that Xue Ru really seemed to be the same. Xue Ru said proudly: "You doubt? Do you need to show you the tail? ”

Lan Xun Zhou looked at the back of Xue Ru's ass very seriously, and Xue Ru slapped him hard: "You really look at it?" Rogue. ”

Xue Ru's non-twisting, hearty and generous made these men laugh. Xue Ru said: "Be quiet, do you want to attract the devil?" Be serious and get down to business. ”

A few people stopped laughing. Xue Ru said: "Commander Xie, I know that you have been an instructor in a military academy, and it is up to you for training and reorganization." Chief of Staff Wu, find out where the arsenal in Nanjing City is and where the military supplies are standing. Quickly get the map of Nanjing's city defense, the number and location of the troops. ”

These words startled everyone, and Wu Yuzhao asked in surprise, "What are you going to do?" ”

Xue Ru said: "Tang Shengzhi is a fool, when he can't do it, we will be responsible for the entire Nanjing retreat." ”

Tang Shengzhi is a fool? Ji Min said: "He is a veteran, although he has been low-key all these years, he still has the ability, otherwise the chairman will not hand over the commander of the Nanjing Garrison to him." ”

Xue Ru said angrily: "That's because other people don't want to defend Nanjing, there is no general in Shu, Liao has become a pioneer, and he is showing a hand at this time." While ordering the destruction of the retreating ships, he secretly escaped with a small steamer, something. ”

Several people all looked at Xue Ru in surprise, how did she know that she hadn't arrived in Nanjing yet? Seeing a few people staring at him, Xue Ru was surprised, how could he say this in a fit of anger.

Lan Xun Zhou shook his head: "I will verify it after I arrive in Nanjing, if it is really true, I will never mess with you again, you are really a fox spirit." ”
