Chapter Ninety-Six: The Jedi Strikes Back (5)

Xue Ru took the telegram and glanced at it, and handed it to Wu Yuzhao. said to Song Xilian and Xiao Shanling: "It seems that the Japanese army has also changed its tactics, and we may have a bloody battle." ”

The two men took the telegram and read it, and then understood what it meant, it was a telegram sent back by the reconnaissance squadron from a hidden location outside the city.

Before dawn, the reconnaissance squadron left the main unit, and the four squads lurked out of the city, looking for hidden places and lurking.

Each of their squads has a radio station to keep in touch with the general team, otherwise how could Xue Ru be so sure to tell Song Xilian that they are just waiting. Because Xue Ru knew that the devil hadn't entered the city at all, and later all directions only entered a wing.

Xue Ru just knew, so he let the 36th Division be stationed in the middle, as a reserve, and deploy more than 4,000 troops in each direction to block the attack of the Japanese troops.

In Xue Ru's eyes, this already attaches great importance to devils, and there are already as many military police regiments in each direction plus the troops of the 74th Army as there are devils. In the front two wings, there was only one Snow Fox headquarters of eight squadrons.

Xue Ru, who comes from modern society, knows the role of intelligence and information, but unfortunately there is no radio communication, and the stupid and slow thing like the radio is also regarded as the best equipment.

Xue Ru's reconnaissance squadron was actually equipped at the squad level, and all four squads had radio stations, including squadron leader Wei Ming. A squadron is five radio stations, and if there are conditions, each squadron should have one, but unfortunately there are not so many operators, so they have to be equipped with brigades.

This is the telegram that Wei Ming and the others took back, the five divisions of the Japanese army have all entered Nanjing, and at the same time, a large number of chariots and heavy artillery have entered the city from the south.

Xue Ru said: "It seems that the Japanese army does not know what our strength is, this is the opportunity." ”

Song Xilian said: "If my judgment is correct, King Hatohiko of Chaoxiang Palace intends to attack forcibly, and our strength is lower than that of the devils, and they are planning to rely on weapons to attack hard, how can I say that it is an opportunity?" ”

Xue Ru pointed to the sky outside and said: "Seeing that it is about to get dark, it is impossible for the Japanese army to attack at night, they must attack early tomorrow morning." At this time, they should not let all the troops into the city. Even tanks and heavy artillery came in, because they were afraid that we would break through and escape, proving that we didn't know how many troops we had. The three military and police regiments are more than 5,000 people, the Snow Fox Corps is more than 3,000 people, the 51st Division is 3,000 people, the 58th Division is more than 5,000 people, and the 36th Division is 8,000 people. We have more than 24,000 people, and the devils only have 50,000 people, but they are scattered in four directions, and there are only more than 10,000 people in each direction. ”

This time, Song Xilian and Xiao Shanling both understood. Song Xilian said: "You have a purpose for doing this, don't you? ”

Xue Ru said: "From the moment I arrived in Nanjing, I was ready to retreat, so every step was planned for today. But since you are left, it can't be cheap, devil. ”

Xiao Shanling shook his head: "I'm also beginning to wonder if you can really pinch it now." How the hell do you know that? Is it really calculated? ”

Xue Ru smiled: "Commander Xiao, just say that you believe that I am a fox spirit, why are you so polite." ”

In fact, these people connected one thing after another, and really began to believe this rumor. Seeing that Xue Ru didn't seem to care about what others said, they all laughed.

Xue Ru had no choice but to say: "Actually, there is nothing strange, as long as you understand the Japanese and know their psychology and thoughts, it is not difficult to deduce what they are going to do next." General Yang Jie has long proposed to exchange space for time, forcing the Japanese army to fight from the north to the south, and dragging down Japan with a protracted war, is he a male vixen? ”

Including Wu Yuzhao, a few people were completely speechless, what else did Xue Ru not know, even Yang Jie's military theory was known. The military strategy of the Military Council was developed on the basis of this.

How many military books has Xue Ru read? Song Xilian said: "Even if this is the case, at what age did you start to read and write, and at what age did you start reading? How can you know so much? Your parents raised you to be a military strategist at a very young age? ”

Xue Ru shook her head: "I don't remember, I can't help it, maybe I was smart when I was a child." ”

Everyone felt that it was a pity that they were injured and lost their memory. Xue Ru saw that they still wanted to ask, and hurriedly said, "Don't ask, I'll tell you when I think about it, okay?" Let's study how to fight. ”

No one will study this issue anymore, but there are tens of thousands of Japanese troops around. Xue Ru showed her talent and brains, and naturally became the center. Song Xilian said: "In the future, I will call you Snow Fox, anyway, it is also your name, it is better than calling a fox spirit." Are you the chief of staff and tell me how to fight? ”

"Whatever, whatever you want to call it" Xue Ru said: "I'm just in charge of making ideas, and it's your business to command and fight." ”

The four of them immediately came to the map, and Xue Ru pointed to the map of Nanjing and said: "You see, the military committee asked us to retreat in the direction of Lishui, but the Japanese army has chariots, cars, and airplanes, and it is also the rear guard area of the 6th Division to the west, and it is not easy to break away from the pursuit." So we don't break through to this side, and choose a direction that the devil can't think of. ”

Xiao Shanling hurriedly asked, "Which direction can't the devil think of?" ”

Xue Ru said: "Send a telegram to Commander Xue and ask him to attack Guangde, where the Tenth Army is located, and attack Langxi forward." We occupied Jiangning after we fought in the south, and I thought the devils must have intercepted us in this direction, so the troops quickly turned north, occupied Dangtu, and then occupied Ma'anshan to the west. The Japanese 18th Division had troops there, but there were not many, and most of them attacked Hangzhou. If you want to surround us there, you need to transfer troops, there is a crater around Ma'anshan, which can be held in the short term, and in a few days, cross the Yangtze River there and enter Chaoxian, and retreat to Hefei to rest. “

"Good plan" Song Xilian exclaimed: "It is very tactics of fleeing north back then." ”

Xiao Shanling said: "Commander Song, pay attention, now is the time for cooperation, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble and be manipulated by others. ”

Song Xilian didn't care, and laughed: "Miss Xue is not *, what are you afraid of?" Snow Fox is also the Central Army. ”

Xue Ru was dissatisfied, he was the * in their mouths before he crossed over, but now he is a white bandit, if he encounters it, he still doesn't know what to do. It doesn't matter, anyway, the eight-year anti-Japanese war is a gang, and when the time comes, I will smile and not speak. In fact, Xue Ru knew in her heart that she was copying the old man's tactics. Retreat in stride, march in stride, annihilate the enemy in motion.

"Since there is no objection, I will implement this plan," Xue Ru said.

Xiao Shanling said: "The troops are scattered and it is difficult to concentrate, is it not an order for all troops to act in the dark?" ”

Xue Ru said: "I haven't taught them a lesson yet, don't retreat in a hurry." The 36th Division was ordered to act in the dark to take over the defensive line of the Snow Fox Corps. The offensive began at midnight. Concentrate the 36th Division and the Snow Fox Corps to destroy the 6th Division. At night, the 58th Division and the 51st Division converged with the military and police regiments, gathered together, and under the command of Commander Song, set up an ambush at Dingjia Lane and defeated the 16th Division. It is possible to fight for the total annihilation of them. ”

As soon as Xue Ru explained, several people immediately understood why Xue Ru said that the devil did not know the number of Chinese troops in the city. There are already more than 10,000 people in the Snow Fox Corps and the 36th Division, and if they knew that the 6th Division was surrounded, they would definitely think that there were no troops in the middle, and they would attack the enemy and save them.

If the 114th Division does not care, it will be able to destroy the 6th Division, and if it is reinforced, then there will be no chance to rescue the 16th Division, not understanding that the opponent is doomed. That's why the intermediate zone of control should be expanded.

Street fighting is a tactic that has no way out. Since it is not a dead defense, Xue Ru will not stick to it at all, it is still her tactic, attacking instead of defending. If tens of thousands of devils come in, and the two sides are mixed together, even if the devils are not familiar with street fighting, after all, they are not dead people, they will fight back, and the casualties on both sides will not be light.

The Japanese army did not understand the situation, delayed for a day, and fought until the evening to wipe out all five wings entering the city. But King Hatohiko of the Asakami Palace did not give it in vain, and he reacted quickly and was very determined, and even ordered all five divisions on the battlefield to enter the city, and the chariots and heavy artillery also followed.

This time, the number of troops has exceeded twice that of the troops in the city, and even if they can win the street battle at this time, Xue Ru's army will suffer heavy casualties, and it may also fail in Nanjing.

This change made Xue Ru have to admit that the devils were not so stupid, they reacted quickly, and relying on heavy weapons did have an advantage. If it is not moved, tomorrow morning there will be an overwhelming barrage of shells and* more than 20,000 people will be wiped out within a dozen square kilometers. So tonight is a crucial night.

Wu Yuzhao and a group of staff officers quickly made a plan. Xue Ru said: "Here is Commander Xiao and Chief of Staff Wu to command, Commander Song to command the 74th Army and the military and police units, I will command the 36th Division and the Snow Fox Corps, and end the battle before dawn." Don't fall in love with the war, Commander Xiao led the headquarters out of the city at the Zhonghua Gate, and the Snow Fox turned to Lishui. ”

Song Xilian said: "The troop assembly site is in Guozhuang, and I will lead the follow-up troops to follow up, and I will talk about it after arriving in Guozhuang." ”

Xue Ru knew that Song Xilian didn't want to fight Lishui, after all, it was the county seat. If you can't attack it, you may be passive, and if you slow down, you will be surrounded. Nanjing's troops had no heavy weapons, let alone artillery, and the siege was a great loss. Therefore, Song Xilian set the assembly site in Guozhuang, thinking that it would depend on the situation at that time.

Xue Ru did this to make the Japanese think that they would retreat to Langxi, to kill a horse gun, capture Dangtu, occupy Ma'anshan, and thus cross the Yangtze River into Hefei. At this time, Hefei was still in the hands of China, and the Japanese army only occupied Yangzhou, Liuhe, and Yizheng.

Due to the withdrawal of a large number of troops to Pukou, the Japanese army was blocked by the First Army Corps, and the Japanese army failed to attack north, but only occupied Chuxian County to cut off the Jinpu Road.

It's better to leave Nanjing first, Xue Ru also doesn't know what the devil will do, after all, Nanjing makes herself different from history. The losses of the national army were not so great, and many troops were safely withdrawn.

Since there was Xiao Shanling in command here, she also left the headquarters with the guards and went to Xiang Wenbin's brigade headquarters to convene a meeting of officers above the commander of the 36th Division.

When Xue Ru arrived here, Xiang Wenbin, the first captain, Xiong Jinyu, the chief of staff, Ji Min, the second captain, Ding Fengrong, the chief of staff, and Lan Xunzhou, the deputy chief of staff who coordinated the command, all arrived, and they were talking with Zhong Bin, commander of the 36th Division, Xiang Zhichen, chief of staff, as well as two brigade commanders and four regiment commanders.

The 36th Division was resting all day, and the battles on all sides were fought by others, which made Zhong Bin a little faceless. Listening to the snow fox showing off there, there was no way, and they were all unconvinced. The 36th Division is a German armament division, well-equipped, and has strong combat effectiveness, if it weren't for the excessive losses in Shanghai and the large number of new recruits replenished, no one would be convinced, what is so great about Snow Fox.

Seeing Xue Ru come in, even Zhong Bin stood up and saluted, although they were both major generals, Xue Ru was now holding the post of chief of staff of the provisional army. For this legendary little girl, the 36th Division is very curious.

But they didn't know each other, and they hadn't come into contact with each other, and today it was the first time that the two brigade commanders and the four regiment commanders had seen Xue Ru so closely. It's just that Zhong Bin, who took over as the division commander, has seen Xue Ru, so he took the lead in saluting.

Originally, Fan Tiezhu had always been around, but Nanjing had been rummaged through, but he was not found, and Fan Tiezhu disappeared. Xue Ru, who had never been angry at all, trained Wei Ming and Lan Xunzhou severely, but he couldn't find it.

The police of the military police regiment also looked for him, but there was still none, Xue Ru just didn't believe that he was dead. There are only two people left around him, Liu Feng and Wen Xi, who are temporarily equipped. Li Wenxiu has become an official staff officer and no longer follows Xue Ru.

Xue Ru raised his hand and returned the salute: "Master Zhong is so fast." ”

Zhong Bin smiled: "The thirty-sixth division has been resting, how can you slack off if you have a battle, please ask Chief of Staff Xue for orders." ”

Xue Ru and Zhong Bin were not familiar with each other, and he was also older, so he said politely: "I can't talk about orders, let's study how to fight." ”
