Chapter 185: Sound Strikes West

As soon as Song Meiling left, Xue Ru immediately convened a military meeting to study the combat issue of the snow fox. The officers of the snow fox had been waiting for a long time, and after they entered Tongcheng, they were waiting, thinking that they could capture Qianshan, Taihu Lake, and Huaining. But until now, I still waited, I don't know why Xue Ru.

The combined strength of the Japanese troops in the three counties was only one wing. For Snow Fox, this is not a problem at all. Especially Ouyang Sari, he has been ready for a long time. Attacking these three counties was almost effortless.

Seeing the first lady leaving, Xue Ru held a meeting, that is, to prepare for war, and they all came to the Yuexi headquarters excitedly. When Dai Zong and Lai Changwen entered the conference room, they were all stunned.

Because Xue Ru was here, this was not surprising, but the person sitting on the side immediately made the faces of these originally happy officers gloomy. Snow Fox's rules don't seem to be so serious, this meeting is not for the squadron leader to attend, it is all at the level of the captain. Squadron leaders are also three directly subordinate squadrons.

The reason why Dai Zong and Lai Changwen had such expressions was because they found that it was Wu Yuzhao who was sitting on Xue Ru's side. There was also a major general, whom they did not recognize. For the expression of the snow fox's person, finding a place to sit down, Wu Yuzhao is not surprised, and there is no expression, only Zhang Hu, who has become the third captain, wants to salute, after all, the other party is a major general.

But seeing the expressions of Lai Changwen and Dai Zong, he nodded and smiled and sat down. His 137th regiment number has been canceled and he has become the third brigade of the Snow Fox Corps. That is, to advance and retreat with the other two brigades.

If you don't advance and retreat with Lai Changwen and Dai Zong, you won't want to mix in Snow Fox in the future. Who doesn't know that even the captain's prospective boyfriend Xiao Yong is the deputy captain, but you can think of Xue Ru's trust in these two.

Wu Yuzhao was not comfortable in his heart, he originally thought that he was the strength of a division, and the independent brigade itself was equivalent to a division-level combat unit, and made it clear to Xue Ru that they could cooperate in the battle, and they would not listen to the announcement, and they would not be included in the Snow Fox, and the 45th Brigade was still an independent force.

But he didn't know how to get it, his father and family didn't give him any news, and the military committee directly ordered that the 45th Independent Brigade be transferred to the Snow Fox Corps and incorporated into the corps.

This Snow Fox Corps is a high-level promotion, and it can command an independent brigade, which is a division-level establishment. The order he received afterwards surprised him. Along with his independent brigade, the 36th Division of the 71st Army was included in the Snow Fox, what level is this?

As soon as he received the order, he received an order from Xue Ru to immediately lead a team to Yuexi and attend a military meeting at the same time. No matter how much I don't understand in my heart, they are all people with brains, and after a little pondering, I understand that Xue Ru leans on a bigger tree.

Madame Chiang personally rushed to Yuexi, stayed in Yuexi for only one day, and then left by plane to return to Wuhan. And then this order was given, and there was nothing else to understand. Xue Ru is known as a fox spirit, and she doesn't know how to confuse Madame Jiang.

Looking at the subsequent order, Wu Yuzhao was very wise to let the troops leave Huoshan and rush to Yuexi, and he also rushed to the headquarters headquarters for a meeting as soon as possible.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Xue Ru stopped talking to the major general and said, "Everyone, we have a meeting today to announce the orders of the military council and at the same time study our battle plan. Wenxiu, make an announcement. ”

Li Wenxiu stood up: "According to the order of the Military Commission, the Snow Fox Corps is no longer under the command of the Fifth Station District, but is under the direct command of the Military Commission. The Hubei-Henan-Anhui Guerrilla Command of the Chinese Revolutionary Army was formed, temporarily under the jurisdiction of the Snow Fox Corps, the 45th Independent Brigade, and the 36th Division to cooperate with the Wuhan Campaign. ”

No one reacted to this order, it was just an adjustment, Snow Fox was no longer under the command of the theater, and this Hubei-Henan-Anhui guerrilla command was independent of the fifth station area. Snow Fox's people all understand that Xue Ru has always wanted others to command her, and she also looks down on the generals of the national army, she has capital, that is, Snow Fox's brilliant record.

Wu Yuzhao's heart moved, it seems that the 45th Independent Brigade is no longer part of the Ninth Theater, what a big name, Hubei-Henan-Anhui Guerrilla Command, that is not within the scope of the three provinces of Henan, Anhui and Hubei, this guerrilla command can fight freely.

Li Wenxiu continued: "The guerrilla command headquarters is held by Song Xilian, commander of the 71st Army. Xue Ru was promoted to temporary major general and served as deputy commander of the guerrilla command. Chief of Staff Guo Jingchu. Deputy Chief of Staff Li Wenxiu, Liu Yuanshan. ”

Li Wenxiu sat down, there was no one who didn't understand, this guerrilla zone headquarters was established for Xue Ru, although she was the deputy commander, but Song Xilian didn't come at all during the meeting. Xue Ru said: "Everyone, everyone knows each other, let me introduce it, Brigade Commander Wu is an acquaintance, so I won't say much." This is Major General Chen Ruihe, commander of the 36th Division. In this battle against the Japanese army, Commander Song sent the 36th Division to assist. Fight with us. ”

Everyone had no expression, some contempt in their hearts, it was a very simple thing, and it was so complicated. Just let Xue Ru be the commander and directly subsume these two troops into the Snow Fox Corps, it has to be so complicated.

In fact, Xue Ru didn't know how Song Meiling went back to study, and Chiang Kai-shek actually gave such an order. If it weren't for Song Xilian being the commander, maybe the 36th Division would still not come to listen to his command. can only prove one thing, that is, Chiang Kai-shek does not trust himself, no matter how happy Song Meiling is to study here, how well he says, when he goes back, he will still consider it calmly, Xue Ru is not reassuring after all.

Xue Ru smiled: "We want to thank the chairman for his trust, and we also want to thank Commander Song for his trust." So it was decided to fight this battle. ”

Everyone immediately sat up straight, which proved that there was a big war. There has never been a small battle in the Snow Fox, and this time the addition of one brigade and one division is actually an increase in the strength of two divisions. The Snow Fox Corps, which has less than 4,000 people, has the strength of two integrated divisions at once, so you can imagine how big this battle is.

Chen Ruihe just stood up and saluted when he was introduced, and he kept smiling and not speaking, in fact, he knew very well what was going on. When Xue Ru went to find Song Xilian, he asked for the 36th Division by name, and at that time he thought that the division commander was Zhong Bin.

Song Xilian is the commander and concurrently the commander of the 71st Army, and Xue Ru is the deputy commander and the chief captain of the Snow Fox Corps. The 88th Division stayed, just to let his 36th Division come, so what else didn't you understand, just listen to the order, but just put yourself into the Snow Fox Corps.

There are no secrets in the national army, everyone knows what is going on, and it can be carried out tacitly. It's just that Wu Yuzhao felt uncomfortable, and originally agreed to listen to Xue Ru's orders, but he didn't expect to really put himself under Xue Ru's command.

Looking at the faces of Lai Changwen and Dai Zong, and then looking at Liu Yuanshan's expressionless face, I knew that I had offended all the people of Snow Fox, and there would be no good life in the future. At this moment, he really wanted to put down this brigade and transfer it to other places by himself, but if he gave up the brigade he had worked so hard to build, how could he explain it to his family. I sighed in my heart, and I had to take one step at a time.

Such a situation forced Xue Ru to reconsider the battle plan. According to the habit of the national army, it is to wait, wait for the Japanese army to attack, and then decide where to defend.

But Xue Ru will not be so passive waiting for defense, she must attack, take offense as defense, attack instead of defense, and break the strategic plan of the Japanese army.

King Tokumiya Tsugahiko was not given in vain, and the Japanese army formed a group defense, and the troops attacking in front were also heavily attacked.

After the replenishment of the 13th Division and the 3rd Division, plus the 10th Division, three divisions were concentrated in the Huangchuan and Gushi directions, and Song Xilian only transferred himself a 36th Division or a half-disabled division. The 88th Division stayed behind to assist the 77th and 51st Corps and cooperate with the 59th Army to resist the Japanese attack.

The 16th Division was stationed in Lu'an, Hefei, monitoring the movements of the Snow Fox and covering the 6th Division and the Botian Detachment to storm Tianjia Town. The 27th Division can cross the river at any time in Zongyang and join the battlefield. Xue Ru is really difficult to do.

But the longer the wait, the more beneficial it will be for the Japanese army, once Wuhan is lost, the Japanese army will return immediately, not to mention this number of troops, and Xue Ru will not be able to face the siege of four or five divisions with a few divisions.

The situation must be opened before the Japanese army captures Wuhan, otherwise it can only retreat and leave here. Of course, this will not make Xue Ru willing, and after studying for a long time, I am afraid that it will not be possible to attack the 6th Division, because they have already attacked Tianjia Town, and if they attack, the 27th Division will attack from behind. With the addition of the 16th Division in Hefei, it will be surrounded by three divisions.

Xue Ru wants to command independently, of course, he has his own style of play. said: "Senior Commander Chen, the 36th Division secretly enters Yuexi, and you must enter it secretly." Prepare dry rations, ensure that there is enough food for seven days, and be ready on standby. ”

Chen Ruihe didn't know why he was secretly transferred, there were not many divisions, but there were thousands of people, it was not so easy, if he wanted to transfer secretly, it would take a long time, could he catch up with the battle? But thinking that Xue Ru was a snow fox, he had always played sneak attack tactics, and this time he didn't know what trick to set for the Japanese army, so he immediately said: "Yes."

Xue Ru said: "Brigade Commander Wu, the 45th Brigade attacked Huangmei and cut off the rear guard of the Japanese 6th Division. ”

"The three brigades of the Snow Fox Corps used the shortest time to capture Qianshan, Taihu Lake and Huaining counties," Xue Ru finally said: "The operational characteristics of each unit in this battle are different, and the operational objectives are also different. The 45th Brigade will attack fiercely, but it must leave room to ensure that it can withdraw from the battle at any time. In the battle to attack Huangmei, the troops had to maintain three days' rations at all times. Brigadier Wu should know how to command. ”

Wu Yu Zhao Lizheng: "Yes, I understand. ”

Of course he understands, because Wu Yuzhao is also from a snow fox, of course he understands Xue Ru's tactics, the attack must be fierce, and there must be room to withdraw from the battle at any time, that is, Xue Ru's target is not Huangmei, not the 6th Division. It must be the 16th Division in Hefei behind.

According to the calculation of the situation, once the rear guard was attacked by the 45th Brigade, it was impossible for King Tokumiya to sit idly by, and he would definitely order the 16th Division to attack Tongcheng Yuexi, and it turned out that the 36th Division secretly entered Yuexi to calculate the 16th Division.

They are all division-level combat units, and many detailed combat plans do not need to be issued, nor do they need to be decided by the command, and Xue Ru's independent combat power is also delegated to the troops. Soon the meeting was dismissed, and it was a very simple meeting, one was to announce the order, and the other was to get to know everyone and understand the responsibilities and authority.

Xue Ru left Chen Ruihe behind, and the others returned to the army to make preparations, and the plan was to start in two days. Seeing the others leave, Chen Ruihe didn't know what Xue Ru left him for, maybe he was not familiar with it and wanted to explain it in person.

Looking at the people leaving, Xue Ru said, "Division Commander Chen, your troops don't need to be strictly secretly transferred, but they must be secret. ”

Chen Ruihe and Wu Yuzhao's judgment was the same, Xue Ru intended to deal with the 16th Division. Asked a little strangely, "If the news leaks out, King Tokumiya Tsukihiko may not attack." The 6th Division will be ordered to defend Huangmei. He will only act as soon as we attack and can't get out. ”

Xue Ru smiled, The generals of the national army are not all given for nothing, they just have no sense of attack, and once they attack, they also know how to fight. He said: "My target is not the 16th Division, but the 27th Division on the other side of the river." ”

Chen Ruihe suddenly realized, no wonder Xue Ru let the Snow Fox Brigade capture the three counties. Some incomprehensible asked: "Even if the 27th Division is solved, it has nothing to do with the Battle of Wuhan." It does not remove the Wuhan threat. ”

Xue Ru shook his head: "Senior Commander Chen, even if we block the 6th Division, can we block the Botian detachment?" Can you hold off the 101st and 106th Divisions? Will it be able to hold back the attack of the 2nd Army? So Wuhan left him alone. Complete our plan, you hurry up and prepare, I have already told Commander Song, he will try his best to coordinate weapons and ammunition, replenish you, and be ready to participate in the battle at any time. ”

"I understand, don't worry, the 36th Division will not delay things" Chen Ruihe actually didn't understand, At this time, the key was the Battle of Wuhan, but Xue Ru fought himself, why is this? But when he came, Song Xilian explained that Xue Ru's tactics couldn't be understood by others at all, so just let him obey the order. I agreed solemnly.

Xue Ru sent Chen Ruihe away and immediately went to the headquarters of the 45th Brigade, when he came, Wu Yuzhao was preparing, two days to prepare, and then attack Huangmei, preparing three days of dry food, this is probably not possible. Wang Kun was also confused after knowing this order, and of course he judged that the 45th Brigade might be just making a show. Prepare to return to pack up the 16th Division.

Seeing Xue Ru coming, Wu Yuzhao hurriedly stood up and saluted, and Xue Ru glared at him: "Separated from me, didn't you?" If you don't want this battle to be over, I'll ask the military council to transfer you out. ”

Seeing Xue Ru's appearance, Wu Yuzhao said with some grievances: "Look at Liu Yuanshan and Lai Changwen's appearance. ”

Xue Ru giggled: "Wu Yuzhao, you are also in your thirties, how can you be like a resentful woman, you are still not a man, you are not as good as me." ”

Seeing Xue Ru's appearance, Wu Yuzhao couldn't help but admit that Xue Ru had indeed changed, becoming atmospheric and capacitive. If she had been like this a long time ago, why did she lead the 45th Brigade away. So he said, "What does the young lady have to explain when you come?" ”

Xue Ru said solemnly: "In a word, the attack must be fierce, so that the Japanese army believes that you want to recapture Huangmei and attack the rear guard of the 6th Division." After receiving the order, immediately retreat, there can be no delay, the strength of the 36th Division is too small, only less than 5,000 people, and some of the recruits are really limited in combat effectiveness, so the key depends on you. ”

"Miss, don't worry, I won't let you down" Wu Yuzhao said fiercely: "I'll let them see that I'm also a snow fox." ”
