Chapter 36 Preliminary Meeting

Xue Ru didn't know Xue Yue, but in the entire headquarters, there was only one lieutenant general, and there was a major general standing beside him, even a stupid person knew that it was Xue Yue. So he took a few steps forward and saluted: "Xue Ru of the Snow Fox Brigade greets Commander Xue, Chief of Staff Wu." ”

Xue Yue has always been very curious about Xue Ru, and from the first time he heard about her, it was very strange. With Xue Yue's mind, although he doesn't know medicine, it is very strange that people who have amnesia and forget their hometown and origin, but they can remember marching and fighting, and no other knowledge is lost.

Regarding the report of the chief of staff of the 11th Division, Xue Ru was suspected of being a Japanese spy, and Xue Yue also felt this way. Is it to sacrifice a certain number of devils to win trust and enter the national army? These cannot be said that Yao Dianshu's suspicions are unreasonable.

It is with these suspicions that both the former enemy command and the Eighteenth Army maintain a trace of vigilance against the Snow Fox Brigade. But this time the battle allowed Xue Yue and them to dispel their doubts.

According to battlefield intelligence, the first battle of Xinfeng can be said to be a great victory, a heavy artillery wing of the Japanese army, more than 2,000 people, an infantry wing of more than 3,000 people, according to the news that came back, the total number of devils who retreated did not exceed 3,000 people, that is, a Japanese wing was wiped out, and at the same time destroyed the Japanese heavy artillery.

The 11th Division had to stop the attack, so that the Japanese troops in other directions also stopped the attack. Buying a few days for the defense of Shanghai was just a team's achievement, and the results were amazing.

What kind of person is Xue Ru? It has only been less than two days, and the news has already spread throughout Shanghai and the front positions.

According to the telegram, the Snow Fox Brigade incorporated a regiment of the Yasukuni Army with more than 1,000 troops, but only half of its strength was withdrawn to Nanxiang. Although there are air force operations and tax police corps to respond, their own combat effectiveness is also very amazing.

It would not be surprising if this happened to the elite German armorers of the national army. But they are all puppet army units that have surrendered to the devils, and such command ability is a miracle.

Therefore, Xue Yue ordered the disabled Snow Fox Brigade to withdraw to Putuo to rest. Originally, all units needed to be replenished, but the supplementary troops sent from the rear were very limited, and they were basically ordinary people, and they would not even put their guns. Even if they are replenished into the troops, they are soldiers who are sent to death, and the troops are not willing to have such soldiers. However, in this way, the military training department can send very limited additional troops.

Even these temporarily conscripted people can only be obtained by the descendants of the central army. For the sake of the Snow Fox Brigade, Wu Yizhi proposed to give priority to Xue Ru to supplement. It was for these reasons that Xue Ru was ordered to retreat to Putuo for rectification.

Since Xue Ru came, of course Xue Yue was very curious and immediately let her in. Seeing Xue Ru saluting, Xue Yue and Wu Yizhi were a little surprised and forgot to return the salute. In their impression, even if Xue Ru didn't look like a dominatrix, he should be taller. turned out to be so delicate, how could he become a battlefield killing god.

But the little girl in front of her is very sassy in a military uniform, but she can't get in touch with the iron-blooded soldiers.

According to the Blue Cache Weekly report, on the battlefield, Xue Ru's assassination, combat knives, shooting, and firearms were no less than ordinary soldiers, but on the contrary, they were agile.

Seeing two people in their forties looking at themselves like this, Xue Ru's woman's problems were immediately revealed, and he hurriedly touched his face and looked at his body, it was difficult that his military discipline was not good?

Looking at her little girl's behavior, Xue Yue laughed: "Captain Xue, you have great achievements, and you are also like this. ”

Xue Ru is not a person who twists, and he does not have a deep impression that Xue Yue is only some information known by later generations. After all, the propaganda of these generals of the national army is all political.

The achievements in the War of Resistance, most Chinese also knew after the reform and opening up, there were Songhu War of Resistance, Great Wall War of Resistance, Xuzhou Battle and Wuhan Battle, otherwise they only knew about Pingxingguan Dajie, the Battle of the Hundred Regiments and the guerrilla war on the plains behind enemy lines.

There was not much excitement about seeing historical celebrities, Xue Yue laughed like this, and his casual attitude also made Xue Ru relax.

After all, he was a man who came decades later, and he was a small soldier, and when he saw such a big officer as a lieutenant general, he was very nervous when he saw the regiment commander in the army in later generations. That's why it's very prudent to salute and see.

Xue Yue's appearance made Xue Ru feel more at ease, so she smiled and said, "People are originally women." ”

This sentence revealed the girl's demeanor even more, causing the two to be stunned for a while. Xue Yue was not a young man after all, and where was his position and experience, so he stopped laughing and said, "Didn't you order you to go to Putuo to rest?" Why did you come to Qingpu? ”

Xue Ru said dissatisfiedly: "Come to you and Commander Luo." ”

Wu Yizhi said: "Captain Xue sit down and say, what is the matter with the commander and the commander?" ”

The three of them sat down, and Xue Ru said, "Looking for you to ask for weapons?" How can you fight devils without weapons and ammunition? ”

Xue Yue said: "Didn't you ask you to replenish in the Ninth Army?" ”

Xue Ru said very aggrievedly: "We belong to the 15th Group Army, which belongs to the Right Wing Army, and Commander Zhu's quartermaster department only gave some bullets, not others." No matter how we say it, it is also from the Eighteenth Army, and you see which army commander is not for his own troops. But our commander didn't care about us at all. In front of the Ninth Army, we were the same as the stepmothers. ”

"Who the would dare to do this to my soldiers?" As he spoke, Luo Zhuoying came in outside. He was the commander of the 15th Group Army, and Xue Yue was the 19th Group Army, both of which were in the sequence of Chen Cheng of the Right Wing Army. But Xue Yue was the deputy commander of the Left Wing Army and the former commander-in-chief of the enemy, so Luo Zhuoying also came here.

Another reason is that after all the troops retreated to the south bank of Yunzaohama, for the convenience of command, the troops were relatively concentrated, and the two group armies were merged.

Luo Zhuoying, who had just returned from inspecting the front-line troops, was on fire, and when he heard Xue Ru's words, he said. Xue Ru hurriedly stood up, no matter how stupid he was, he knew who the lieutenant general who came in.

Wu Yizhi still said: "Xue Ru, this is Commander Luo. ”

Xue Ru hurriedly saluted, and when she heard Luo Zhuoying's words, Xue Ru's cunning and fox-like careful thinking came out again: "Commander Luo, many people say that you are a Confucian general, gentle and elegant. Why do you open your mouth and scold people? Are you a girl? ”

This is the charm of women, no matter what kind of iron-blooded soldier he is, in front of such a tone and performance, there is no problem at all. Luo Zhuoying is indeed not as vulgar as she appears, but she is still very cultivated. It's just that the casualties on the front line are huge, and the 18th Army is his troops, with more than 40,000 people in three divisions, and the total strength of the whole army at this time is less than 20,000, or after four rounds of rectification.

The original veteran elite is less than two or three out of ten, how can it not be a belly fire. Hehe smiled: "Why didn't I know that I still had the title of Confucian general, when I saw the devil, I was already a fierce general, what a fucking Confucian general." ”

Xue Yue and Wu Yizhi also laughed when they said this. But anyone can hear it, and there is a sadness and helplessness in the laughter, and more anger and hatred.

Xue Yue said: "What is the situation on the front line? ”

Luo Zhuoying sighed: "It seems that the devil is determined to win, and Yamamuro Zongwu transferred the Fifth Independent Artillery Brigade to enter Xinfeng and approach the coast of Yunzaobang." The 11th Division and the 13th Division converged, and the troops of the two divisions were arranged opposite Miaohang, Dachang, and Pidgin, and the 9th Division and the 101st Division were concentrated in the Lion Forest, Wusongkou, and Baoshan generation. Once Anting and Zhaoxiang are lost, the Beijing-Shanghai railway will be cut off. ”

Xue Ru was in a hurry, if the Beijing-Shanghai line was cut off, it would definitely affect the retreat of the Shanghai army, and it would really evolve into a big rout. She came to the headquarters, on the one hand, to find Xue Yue to get some weapons and ammunition, and on the other hand, she also wanted to make another effort to see if Xue Yue could be prepared in advance, so that it would not turn into a rout in Shanghai and lose time for the defense of Nanjing.

Although he knew that Chiang Kai-shek and these big figures would not listen to him, since he knew, he had to do his best to avoid any tragedy in history. The blood of 300,000 and 300,000 compatriots stained the city of Nanjing.

"Commander Xue, Commander Luo, and Chief of Staff Wu, we must ensure that the Beijing-Shanghai line is unblocked, otherwise it will be a disaster for the national army in Shanghai." Xue Ru said worriedly.

The three of them were stunned, everyone knew that the Beijing-Shanghai railway was lost, and the Japanese army commander drove straight into Nanjing, how could it be a disaster for the national army in Shanghai. Wu Yizhi said: "Why do you say that? ”

Xue Ru was already in a hurry, and didn't care about being suspected, and said directly: "You can send someone to reconnoitre, the Japanese army has concentrated the strength of the 10th Army and two divisions in Qingdao, Kyushu, and Busan, preparing to attack Jinshanwei, and will land in Hangzhou Bay, if I guess correctly, there are not many defenders there, and they can't stop their attack at all." Shanghai's forces will face encirclement, and if the Beijing-Shanghai road is cut off, Nanjing will be left undefended. ”

The three of them are not straw bales, they are all strategically minded, and if this situation really occurs, it will indeed be a disaster for the national army. Luo Zhuoying said: "How do you know that the devil will land in Hangzhou Bay? ”

This problem again, Xue Ru learned from the experience of Yao Dianshu, and didn't want to be suspected, so he said: "You see, the Japanese army is facing desperate resistance from the national army in the north and east, and it can't occupy Shanghai at all. Japan's resources, population, and national strength do not allow them to fight a protracted war, and they must fight a quick victory. The roundabout tactic was a consistent tactic of the Japanese army, and they had a strong navy and air force, and could land at any point. ”

The three of them didn't consider whether Xue Ru's words were true or false, but looked at her strangely. This is the overall strategy, how could it be that she a little girl of fifteen or sixteen years old knows. If the guess is correct, what is it? Military Wizards!

Seeing the expressions of the three people, Xue Ru was depressed for a while, he would not cross himself a little bigger, and he could also lie and say that he graduated from the United States Military Academy. But at such an old age, no one will believe it. When Nanxiang had the opportunity to look in the mirror, he realized that no one would believe him when he said he was sixteen years old.

I can't care about it, so I just say I'm eighteen. Shaking his head helplessly: "If you don't believe me, I can't help it, I just hope that you can send reinforcements to the front line of Hangzhou Bay to strengthen the defense and buy time for the retreat of the Shanghai army." In addition, people were sent to inspect the Wufu line and the defense of the Siden line to ensure that the retreat of the large army was covered. ”

Xue Ru's words made the three of them stunned for a while. To say that judging the attack of the devil can also be said to be a guess. However, this arrangement is not a matter of speculation, it is a matter of strategic command.

None of them are brainless people, the military level is still there. Speaking of Luo Zhuoying, Xue Yue both told Chen Cheng that they hoped to give up the defense along the Shanghai line, and the troops would retreat to the Wufu Line and the Xicheng Line to hold on, so that the Japanese army would not be able to use mechanization in areas with dense water networks, and at the same time stay away from the Japanese naval guns, the national army would be able to fight a war.

However, the chairman of the NPC Standing Committee resolutely disagreed, saying that Shanghai is an international metropolis with too many foreign concessions, which can show the world China's determination to resist the war, and can also attract international attention and win sympathy. Not only can there be international intervention to suppress Japan, but also international assistance, so they demand to hold on to Shanghai.

After thinking for a long time, Xue Yue said: "Commander Luo, you command here, I will go to Suzhou to meet the commander and discuss this matter, hoping that the commission can agree." ”

Luo Zhuoying nodded, they knew that it was not up to them to have the final say, even Chen Cheng was the deputy commander of the theater, and the commander of the third theater was Chairman Jiang. Without his orders, no one would dare to retreat, and if it were not for the overall strategic retreat, the retreat of a single unit, the remaining troops would be a disaster. No one can afford to take on this responsibility.

Xue Yue said to Xue Ru: "You go to the Quartermaster Department to find Director Huang, and I will ask the chief of staff to contact you and replenish the equipment for your brigade." ”

Wu Yizhi nodded in agreement. Xue Ru said: "Commander, what is our task?" ”

Xue Yue shook his head and didn't speak. Wu Yizhi said: "Many reporters are waiting in Putuo, and Xinfeng's victory has greatly boosted the morale of the Shanghai resistance, and I have time to meet them and give the troops some morale." The rest of the time is rested, and there is a combat mission to tell you. ”

Xue Ru is not a person who does not understand things, since this is already the case, he has said everything he should have said. What can a little captain do? Even Xue Yue and they couldn't help it. Lizheng said, "Yes." ”

Watching Xue Ru leave, Luo Zhuoying said: "What a strange girl, she is Commander Xue's little countryman, a military general, and she is even very strategic. ”

Xue Yue smiled: "Aren't you also from Guangdong?" Take care of it, if you exercise for a while, maybe you will be a party-state general. ”

In fact, the three of them don't value any fellow countrymen, but Xue Ru's talent. The results of the battle were brilliant, and it was too shocking to defeat a wing of the Japanese army and severely damage an artillery wing with less than a regiment of troops.

Xue Ru came to the 19th Group Quartermaster Department not far from Qingpu, and she was received by Huang Yao, the director of the Military Division. Looking at the little female officer in front of him, Huang Yao didn't dare to slack off. How could he be offended by the former commander-in-chief of the enemy in the group army, let alone the chief of staff who personally called.

"Captain Xue, this is your supplementary list, do you see if it's okay" Huang Yao handed over the list with some flattery.
