Chapter Forty-Seven: All or Nothing

Xue Ru was also a little surprised, this time I will add a regiment, the Snow Fox Brigade plus the original people, then there are more than 2,000 people, if there is sufficient ammunition and weapons, do you have the capital to fight with the devil.

Stretching out his hand to take the map and looking at the location of Kunshan, Xue Ru understood that Xue Yue was preparing for the big retreat. His task was to ensure the security of the Beijing-Shanghai line and cover the retreating army in Shanghai.

It seemed that Xue Yue was powerless to change the situation in Shanghai, he could not ignore Chiang Kai-shek, and he could not transfer other troops to the rear to defend. The Snow Fox Brigade is a supernumerary army, so Xue Yue supplemented himself with a regiment and garrisoned Kunshan.

Kunshan is located in the middle of Shanghai, Taicang, Jiading, Suzhou, and Changshu, and is the hub station of the Beijing-Shanghai Railway, and if Kunshan is occupied, the Chinese army will be cut off from retreating.

Originally, Xue Ru was supplemented by two companies, and the strength had increased to nearly 700 people, and he planned to cripple the 9th Division on the opposite side and teach Yoshito Ryosuke a hard lesson. Understood Xue Yue's purpose and asked, "What day is it?" ”

Lan Xun Zhou is very happy, the commander is really generous, give a regiment at once, although the combat effectiveness of the security brigade is too weak, but it depends on who commands, is the Yasukuni Army weak or not? Xue Ru commanded and won the battle. At this time, Lan Xun Zhou was full of confidence in Xue Ru, but he was not too happy to see Xue Ru, so he asked him what time it was, and said, "October 16th." ”

Xue Ru didn't remember when Shanghai began to retreat, but at the beginning of November, the Japanese army landed at Jinshanwei, which made the Nationalist Government order to completely abandon Shanghai, and now it is the 16th, that is, time is running out, if you accept a regiment, it will take time to train the troops yourself. Besides, weapons and ammunition need to be prepared, but it's a pity that I can't remember the exact time, so I can't delay it any longer. Said: "Send someone to find out and see when the troops of the 133rd Division will arrive, and we are ready to retreat." ”

Lan Xun Zhou was a little strange: "Why didn't the commander transfer the security regiment up, but let us withdraw to Kunshan?" ”

Xue Ru didn't want to say this, and Xue Yue's telegram didn't say it clearly, that is, he didn't want to disturb the soldiers and cause panic. He said, "I'll tell you again on the way." ”

"Report." The scout ran over: "The Japanese army began to cross the river and prepare for the attack. ”

Xue Ru was stunned, could it be that the devil had thought of a way? She ran into the forward position, and what she saw was that a pontoon bridge had been erected on the Yunzaohama, which was Yoshiju Ryosuke who received the report from the well to the nobuki, angrily transferred the bridge-building troops and set up a temporary pontoon bridge from the river, at this time, the Japanese army was crossing the river through the pontoon bridge and rubber boats.

On the pontoon bridge were four Japanese combat vehicles, facing the tank fighting vehicles, Xiang Wenbin, who had finished sorting out the troops, held up the binoculars and said worriedly: "Captain, I'm afraid this is not easy, we don't have anti-tank weapons." ”

Xue Ru shook his head, four chariots are nothing, just such a small bean chariot, a bundle* will kill him. After preparing for such a long time, it is impossible for the Japanese army to use this trick, and there must be some big killing weapon.

"Mass Killer." Xue Ru almost sat on the ground when she thought of a terrible weapon, "Gas Bomb." ”

The devil is not fucking useless, this is the most dangerous, because most of the national army does not have gas masks, although it is not certain, but she cannot be unguarded. hurriedly shouted: "Xun Zhou, quickly inform the soldiers, bring gas masks, the devil wants to use gas bombs." ”

This sentence also frightened Lan Xun Zhou, but Xiang Wenbin was stupid, his troops did not. Xue Ru said: "Let the soldiers who do not have gas masks soak them in towels, cover their mouths and noses, and look for the upper wind. ”

However, just after the rain, the sky was clear, and there was no wind at all, this was probably the best time to use poison gas bombs, and the situation was too favorable for the devils.

However, it was not bad, when Xue Ru's Snow Fox Brigade seized the devil's gas bomb, it got a gas mask, only Tian Jiasheng's tax police squadron did not have it, and then the Sichuan Army squadron did not.

Holding the binoculars, watching the devils gather more and more, I'm afraid it has exceeded two brigades, it seems that Iide Xuanshi is planning to gamble and play with his life.

A hint of ferocity flashed in Xue Ru's eyes, the revenge of the devil, we are not finished. Called over Xiao Yong, Qiao Han, and Liu Yuanshan and said: "The devil doesn't know that we have gas masks, from now on, the distance leading to the Qiaoyu Mansion and the Epiphany Temple will be arranged into a * position, and the death zone will be distributed, leaving the people who detonate it, the tax police squadron is still ambushing in the Epiphany Temple, and the Sichuan Army Squadron will withdraw into the Qiaoyu Mansion to ambush and let the devils come." ”

The entire defender's position was in a hurry, and Xue Ru's reaction was not slow, but after all, he had just thought of it. As the devils gathered forward, the whistling of cannonballs was heard in the sky. It was really bad enough that he didn't just fire poison gas bombs, but mixed with conventional artillery shells, and the air stirred by the explosion had a pungent smell.

Yellow, purple, and cyan smoke filled the position, and the Japanese troops, wearing gas masks and under the cover of four tanks, formed a four-way column and attacked horizontally. Such a formation was indeed shocking enough, but the defensive position was quiet, and there was no sound at all.

Nobutoki Iide and Hitomi Shuzo and the 35th Wing Captain Fujii Yoshimi Daisa held the binoculars with an arrogant smile on their faces.

Iide was happy for his cleverness, he thought about it for a long time, and he didn't think of a good way, he already knew who the army on the other side was. I saw the blood-red silk scarf through the binoculars, and the Snow Fox Brigade, the unit that made the 11th Division fail and hate, it turned out that they were here again. No wonder the attack will fail, and let yourself lose a brigade.

The artillery report made him understand that there were not many shells, but the gas shells, which had been useless because of the rainy day, were still there. The weather is good today, there is no wind at all, and it is really Amaterasu to bless the Imperial Japanese Army.

The Shanghai Dispatch Army Command ordered that Shanghai is an international city and there are many foreigners, so try not to use poison gas bombs as a weapon, so as not to provoke the intervention of Western countries. But Jing Xuanshi couldn't take care of it so much, and he had nothing to do. I don't know what other tricks the snow fox brigade on the other side has.

Shoot out the few shells together, add gas bombs in the middle, open the way with four chariots, concentrate more than a thousand people in two brigades, and attack from the front.

There is no tactic to speak of in this kind of attack, it is about strength. Ide Xuanshi wanted to use this method to eliminate the Snow Fox Brigade. The Chinese army has no anti-chemical warfare troops, and even weapons are insufficient, let alone gas masks.

Not only the officers, but even a soldier of the Japanese army confidently attacked forward, believing that they were collecting the corpses of the Chinese army. Because there were not many of them, tear gas, meson gas, and nerve gas were all released. The one-kilometer-wide front of the battlefield was shrouded in thick smoke and smoke, and the Japanese troops advanced in stride, almost with their heads held high.

In the craters, through the glass mirror of the mask, the soldier stared at the sun flag that flickered in the smoke, listened to the footsteps and the roar of the chariot, and held the pull line tightly in his hand, and arranged the place as a death zone in the shortest possible time.

The Snow Fox Brigade has no * in their hands, and the * on the more than 700 people is all arranged on the ground, and each soldier has a large handful of pull threads in both hands, and they don't know how many hemp ropes are connected.

Since the devil wants to play ruthlessly, Xue Ru is also ruthless, and buries the * bag too, and both sides are desperate.

At this time, the tax police squadron ambushed in the Epiphany Temple and the Sichuan Army squadron in the Qiaoyu Mansion were dripping with towels and rags covering their faces. Despite this, there was a little breathiness, and some of the fighters were already shaking, their eyes waterlogged. After all, you can't cover your eyes, and some soldiers have already fallen. Xiang Wenbin's eyes were already on fire, but there was nothing to do, some soldiers took off their clothes and fanned the wind outwards to drive away the smoke that kept drifting in, and the soldiers who were okay listened to the movement outside.

Xiao Yong was among these soldiers in ambush, the battlefield was full of corpses, there were national soldiers, there were Japanese, and the Japanese soldiers who came up didn't know if they were dead or alive, this was fifteen or six hundred people, all over the mountains, and the leather boots almost stepped on the heads of the hidden soldiers.

Xiao Yong turned his head to take a look, gritted his teeth and pulled down a lock of hemp rope in his hand, one, two, three...... Seven, boom, a few * exploded, his explosion was the signal, and the soldiers in ambush all pulled down the pull wire in their hands.

In some places, there were two or three* together, and after being blown up, they exploded, and there was no place near the ambushed soldier's body, and they did not stand up, so there was no loss. But the Japanese army was attacking in a straggler formation, and more than 1,000 Japanese troops really entered the place of death, and there were thousands of them here*.

No matter how limited its lethality is, it is not something that the Japanese army can dodge, let alone a large-scale explosion, and it is impossible to avoid this and that. The two brigades attacked by the Japanese were wiped out, and the four tanks were blown up before they could see anyone.

There were gas masks, and the machine guns in the hands of the 2nd and 3rd squadrons that were ambushed around them opened fire, and this kind of close-range attack was beyond the imagination of the Japanese army, and no one would think that they would be ambushed at a distance of twenty or thirty meters, just like face to face.

Pistols, machine guns, and rifles were a rain of bullets, explosions and shots, which plunged the Japanese army into chaos, and the generals could not command each other, wearing gas masks, after all, it was inconvenient, and the devils who were devastated were also instinctively turned around and ran.

* The explosion diluted the poison gas on the position, plus the other two squadrons that were ambushed from the two locations were also killed, and the attacking devils were based on the destruction of the national army by the poison gas, which is why they were so frightened and confused.

Some units of the Chinese army had gas masks, which the Japanese also knew, but it was beyond their calculations to be so prepared.

The devil couldn't have imagined that Xue Ru was not a person of this era, and he knew much about the Japanese. One brigade did not go back, and two brigades and four tanks dared to attack? This aroused Xue Ru's suspicions. Besides, she had captured the Japanese army's poison gas bombs, and when she thought of weapons of mass destruction, she also thought of the history of the Japanese army's thousands of use of poison gas bombs on the Chinese battlefield.

The Japanese army could not withstand such a blow and began to collapse, and the Snow Fox Brigade increased by two companies, the number of which was more than seven hundred, and the original three squadrons were good weapons, and Tian Jiasheng's tax police squadron was also very well armed, and there were quite a few of them.

The battlefield was completely one-sided and massacred, and the well-deed Xuanshi on the other side of the river witnessed this tragedy with his own eyes, and his heart felt like he had been hit hard, and a mouthful of blood almost spurted out. If it weren't for the deputy official next to him to hold him up, he would have fallen down when he was out of the air. He couldn't intercept the shooting with artillery if he wanted to, because the two sides were too close, and the Snow Fox Brigade bit the back of the imperial army's ass and beat it.

Finally entering the range of Japanese machine gun cover, Xue Ru had to order to stop the pursuit and let the remaining devils retreat to the north shore. But the next scene made Iide Xuanshi scream and faint.

That's because in front of the Japanese army, there were more than 100 wounded soldiers caught by the Snow Fox Brigade, and they were injured to varying degrees, and the Snow Fox Brigade did not ask a word, but killed all of them with bayonets.

The last words that Major General Ide shouted were the Blood Fox Devil, and he was completely dizzy. However, it is good that he is dizzy, otherwise, he may have to be court-martialed. In this battle, only five or six hundred devils fled back, and more than 1,000 died on the battlefield.

Hitomi Shusan thought that the brigade commander was too hasty, because the artillery reported that he could not intercept the shooting, and there were not even shells. He could only angrily order to stop the offensive and report to the division commander.
