Chapter 13: Turning to Tsukipo

Xue Ru still has a good impression of Ye Peigao, and he has always attached great importance to himself. You can also follow your own advice, not a rigid war. It was obvious that he was also suspicious of himself just now, but as soon as he said that he was from Guangdong, he was immediately relieved, and even said that he had a suggestion to discuss with Xue Ru.

Xue Ru is also a young man, and of course he feels different when he is respected, so he said with a smile: "Brigade Commander Ye is polite, if you have any orders, please say it, thank you for your trust just now." ”

Ye Peigao sighed: "Chief of Staff Yao is not a bad person, but he is just a little selfish. Don't hate him, in fact, you are a fan in many places, and people can't help but doubt it. I hope you can tell me quickly if you think of something, so as not to be misunderstood, I believe it can still protect you. ”

Xue Ru was very moved, it was not easy to get this promise. Ye Peigao's words, Xue Ru understood that if she was really a spy, she would tell him that she would try to protect herself, but she could also control herself. But Xue Ru knew in his heart that he was not amnesiac at all, but he couldn't tell his identity. Who she is, I'm afraid, will always be a mystery. That is: "Brigade Commander Ye rest assured, I live and die with so many brothers, I am also Chinese, although I can't remember, I have a feeling that I will not be a spy of the Japanese devils." There is always a voice in my heart that tells me to kill all the devils and take revenge. So I believe that I am Chinese. ”

"That's good" Ye Peigao nodded as if relieved, in fact, he understood that if Xue Ru was a spy, then her amnesia was fake. But Xue Ru's continuous command of the operation, there was really no sign of being a spy, so he had to believe it first.

Xue Ru didn't explain anymore, she knew it in her own heart. Today, it is said that he is from Shaoguan, Guangdong, and there is a purpose. It's just that if you don't make it clear, let them guess, if you make it clear at once, if you don't find this person, I'm afraid it's even more unclear.

Ye Peigao called over to Liu Jie and said: "I discussed it with Regiment Commander Liu, it seems that your special combat team is very effective, and I plan to expand the special combat team, give you the right to mobile combat, and assist in holding Luodian." Shangfeng did not agree to withdraw from Luodian for mobile operations. ”

Xue Ru already knew what was going on in Duan Mingye's mouth, so it was not surprising, and he didn't insist on maneuvering anymore. Not to mention a brigade commander, maybe the army commander has no right to decide.

Holding on to other places, not the strategic retreat of the entire Shanghai, then Luodian really can't be abandoned, otherwise hundreds of thousands of national troops will be in danger. It seems that he can only find a way to drag the devil to reduce casualties, and nodded: "Thank you brigade commander for your trust." I have already thought of a way to hold Luodian for the time being, and I can only depend on the situation in the future. ”

"What's the solution?" Ye Peigao asked.

Before Xue Ru could answer, a soldier ran from a distance: "Report, the division headquarters has an urgent order." ”

Ye Peigao took the telegram and read it: "Order the troops to assemble and prepare to move." ”

Xue Ru was stunned for a moment, could he start retreating now? Ye Peigao said to Liu Jie: "The devil's attack on Luodian was blocked, and they requisitioned the 44th Wing to attack Yuepu, wanting to cut off the connection between Baoshan and Luodian, and surround Luodian and Baoshan in a roundabout way. The 98th Division had already suffered heavy casualties and could only defend Baoshan, and Yuepu was occupied by devils. The division headquarters ordered the 33rd Brigade to recapture Yuepu and protect the Luodian flank and the Baoshan flank. ”

Liu Jie said: "What about Luodian, there is still the 22nd Wing in person." ”

Ye Peigao said: "Huang Wei took over as the commander of the 67th Division, and he sent the 202nd Brigade to take over Luodian. ”

Liu Jie said worriedly: "The sixty-seventh division has been disabled, there is no replenishment, and even half of the troops are not enough, can it be defended?" ”

Ye Peigao smiled bitterly: "We are not much better, we are not half disabled." Only the sixty-fifth regiment still had some combat effectiveness. ”

The two of them didn't carry Xue Ru behind their backs at all, she kept listening. She suddenly said, "What kind of place is Yuepu?" ”

Ye Pei shouted at the soldier to bring over the map and said, "Yuepu is also a town, smaller than Luodian. Where is the paddy field area, there is no decent road, so the devils have not attacked anywhere. But Panqiao was bombed, the attack on Luodian failed, and they actually occupied Yuepu. This is not easy to do, as long as you move forward to capture Yanghang, you can directly attack the urban area, and join the Japanese army in Hongkou, and Shanghai can no longer be recaptured. ”

After speaking, he said: "Order the commander of the 65th Regiment Niu to reinforce Yang Xing and build a position to hold on." Your 66th Regiment will attack Yuepu to contain the devil's attack. ”

Xue Ru shook his head, it was a conservative defensive tactic again, and this arrangement was worried that he would not be able to recapture Yuepu. hurriedly said: "Brigade Commander Ye, why don't you eliminate this 44th Wing?" Defensive warfare is not good tactics. ”

Liu Jie and Ye Peigao both looked at Xue Ru in surprise, a wing of devils wants to destroy them, how many troops do they need? Just with a brigade, what a joke. Look they don't believe it. Xue Ru said: "We have two regiments, the 65th Regiment is basically not damaged, and the 66th Regiment is still fighting par with the Devil's Wing." Where you say that the paddy field area is also difficult to play with devil heavy artillery and mechanized combat vehicles. They are all infantry, so there is a possibility of a battle, and at least they can be beaten back. As long as you cripple them, you can keep this line of defense. ”

Ye Peigao looked at Liu Jie and said to Xue Ru: "What you said makes some sense, but we don't have an advantage in light weapons, and we may not be able to win in hand-to-hand combat." ”

Xue Ru was very confident: "Brigade Commander Ye, what I prepared was originally to destroy the 22nd Wing, but this time I will use it for the 44th Wing, I have a way to defeat them." ”

Ye Peigao was very interested and asked, "What preparation?" ”

Xue Ru smiled: "Confidential." In this way, the brigade commander led the 65th Regiment to hold Yang Xing, and Commander Liu and I recaptured Yuepu. ”

Ye Peigao didn't know why he kept it a secret. But this is also a plan arranged by himself, so he said: "That's okay, don't attack, just contain it, we mainly stick to the time." ”

Liu Jie watched Ye Peigao leave, and immediately gathered the sixty-sixth regiment, he had more than 2,000 people, and now there were less than 1,500 people. Xue Ru said: "Commander Liu, you lead a battalion to attack the devils in Yuepu, but attack at night, give me two battalions and I will ambush them." ”

Liu Jie knew that the devil had a wing, more than 3,000 people, and he didn't even have 2,000 people, and it was almost impossible to attack Yuepu, and it was only when the Japanese army divided its troops to attack Yanghang that it was possible to recapture Yuepu.

Xue Ru said: "Commander Liu, I still have that opinion, even if we concentrate two regiments and capture Yuepu, we will form the same situation as Luodian." Attacked by the artillery of the devil's plane, there is no way to hold it at all. ”

Liu Jie opened his mouth and said hesitantly; "In fact, the brigade commander also understood, so he let us attack, and he led the 65th Regiment to hold Yang Xing."

Xue Ru understood, it turned out that Ye Peigao was disobeying, knowing that even if he recaptured Yuepu, the result would be the same, but he couldn't help but execute. So come up with this idea, turn the 66th Regiment into a mobile unit, and say that it is to recapture Yuepu, what can be done if it can't be recaptured? Clever!

After thinking about it, he said: "Commander Liu, it seems that we are just symbolically attacking, I think you understand what the brigade commander means." ”

Liu Jie smiled bitterly, if he didn't understand, he wouldn't have studied with Xue Ru. Mobile combat, Liu Jie didn't know how to fight, he had no experience in this area. Shaking his head and moving: "From now on, you will temporarily act as the deputy commander and command the entire 66th Regiment to fight, as long as you don't embarrass the brigade commander, you can fight as much as you want." ”

Xue Ru was not happy at all, because this was a sign of helplessness. Liu Jie, they have already given up hope, no matter how they fight, they will fail, and they can only be sent to death, but Shangfeng resolutely disagrees with retreat, so they can only deal with it in this way. Nodding heavily: "Don't worry, I won't let the brothers of the sixty-sixth regiment die." Since Captain Liu trusts me, I won't let you down.

Soon after, the battalion commanders and company commanders of the 66th Regiment were gathered for a meeting. Looking at these subordinates, Liu Jie felt helpless, if they continued to fight like this, they would all have to die. It's better to let Xue Ru do it, how bad can it be? Seeing that there is still a period of time after dark, it is not possible to mobilize troops at this time, because there are Japanese planes flying in the sky from time to time.

Liu Jie said: "Brothers, we were ordered to attack Yuepu, and this time I appointed Miss Xue as the temporary deputy commander, that is, my adjutant, to command the whole regiment to fight." The battalion commanders must understand that they obey orders and do not obey military law. “

The commander of the 1st Battalion was killed, the 3rd Battalion was half-maimed, and only the 2nd and 4th Battalions were still combat-ready. The baggage company, the artillery company, the engineer company, the communications platoon, the guard platoon and the special service platoon all added up to more than 1,000 people.

Xue Ru was also not polite, this is not the time to be modest, and said directly: "Thank you for the trust of the head of the regiment, I will take you to fight devils, but first of all, survive." From now on, the four battalions will be mixed into two battalions, with Battalion Commander Hao Guiren as the first battalion commander and Battalion Commander Qiao Mingfen as the commander of the second battalion. The other spy platoons, pistol teams, reconnaissance platoons, and the battalion commander's company commander's personal guards were mixed into the third battalion, with Duan Mingye as the battalion commander. The special combat team relied on the captain's command and immediately rushed to Yuepu to investigate the situation, and I needed detailed information. The others moved immediately and reorganized before dark, waiting for the 202nd Brigade to take over. ”

Liu Jie knew that he was completely violating the law, and handed over the troops to the command of a little girl, who was only a second lieutenant and a temporary military rank. He said, "Everyone, you must know that Miss Xue is not an official officer yet, so everyone still calls her Miss." ”

Xue Ru said gratefully: "Thank you, Captain Liu, Xue Ru will not let you down." "It's still called Miss, it's Liu Jie's credit for winning, but you also have to take responsibility for defeating Liu Jie.

For battles that don't know victory or defeat, Liu Jie's doing this is commendable. Xue Ru didn't care if it was a battle merit or not. Liu Jie, who is in his forties, is a very honest person, but it is not easy to have such a mind and courage. Even if he wants to get credit, Xue Ru is very grateful for this trust.

The other two battalion commanders were a little worried about the regiment commander, but Duan Mingye was full of confidence. Miss Xue's identity, they had already guessed, this time I heard that it was from Shaoguan, I believe that their judgment is correct, it should be about the same. So began to reorganize the troops and reorganize them. Except for the third battalion, which was laborious, the other two battalions were still very easy to handle.

It was dark, but the 202nd Brigade had not arrived for a long time, and Xue Ru was not in a hurry. She didn't care if she recaptured Yuepu or not. Xue Ru was waiting for Lai Changwen and their reconnaissance, and now he was bent on explaining Duan Mingye's tactics. This is Xue Ru's main force, because the guard troops, the special forces and the pistol team are the best-equipped units of each battalion, and many of them are *, and the lowest is a box gun. After the reorganization was completed, the third battalion actually had two guns, either one pistol, or one rifle or one pistol, and the number of people in the whole battalion was the smallest, with only two companies and more than 300 people.

Very late, when the 175th Regiment of the 202nd Brigade arrived, Lai Changwen and the others also returned. It's not far from here to Yuepu at all, it's only more than 20 miles, but it's also a fast run.

The devil is still so arrogant, there is no secrecy at all, it is easy to understand the situation and hurry back to report.

Lai Changwen pointed to the map and said: "The 44th Wing of the devil only has three infantry brigades and one artillery brigade, with a total strength of more than 3,100 people. The road to Wolpo was not easy to walk, and after the capture of Wolpo, there was no immediate attack. They were blocked by a regiment of the 98th Division in Yuepu, and the casualties were not large, but the ammunition consumption was very large, and it was estimated that they were replenishing ammunition. The wing headquarters was in Qianpan, and in Yuepu were two brigades, and the wing headquarters in Qianpan was an infantry brigade and an artillery brigade. ”

There was a sneer at the corner of Xue Ru's mouth: "He Zhiying Er Dazuo is really looking for death, I calculate that he will do this." ”

As soon as Liu Jie heard Xue Ru say that he had calculated the devil's plan, it was possible to win. At that time, he said: "Although there are two brigades, it is also difficult to capture Yuepu. ”

Xue Ru was speechless, why did the generals of the national army let the Japanese lead the way, they occupied Yuepu, and the national army would definitely attack Yuepu? I had to say: "Time is running out, it's midnight at this time, and it will soon be bright, and the whole group will quietly enter Sifang Town, and I'll talk about it there." ”

Liu Jie didn't know what Xue Ru was going to do, but since he said that she was in command, he didn't ask much, and ordered the whole regiment to leave Luodian in the dark and go straight to Sifang Town.
