What a beautiful white lotus

Due to Gu Xiuge's proper command, the Japanese army in Ruichang was still unable to move forward, and the two sides had a stalemate in Ruichang for more than ten days.

Due to sufficient supplies, Gu Xiuge no longer fought a war of attrition, so his ambitions gradually expanded. He was no longer satisfied with consolidating the defense line, but began to calculate how to push the Japanese army back to the other side of the Jiujiang River.

Ye Rongqiu's progress is also very fast.In ten days, Fernhausen crammed a lot of things into him. He only talked about general concepts, and left complex calculations to Ye Rongqiu to study by himself. If Ye Rongqiu didn't figure it out at night, he could come back during the day. Ask him for an answer.Ten days later, Fernhausen was very satisfied with Ye Rongqiu's performance.He said: "I used to only learn these things for ten months. You are very smart."

Ye Rongqiu smiled shyly: "That's because the chief taught well, not to mention how it is the same as before."

Fernhausen sighed: "The Chinese are very smart, but it's a pity that many people's smarts are not used in the right place."

Ye Rongqiu gave a curious snort.

Feinhausen took out a submachine gun and asked Ye Rongqiu: "I got this yesterday. Do you recognize this gun?"

Ye Rongqiu shook his head.During this period of time, he has seen a lot of guns, but most of them are foreign guns. This gun seems to be made in China. He checked the logo on the gun and it was produced in Shanxi.He shook his head: "I haven't seen it."

Fernhausen said: "You Chinese call him Shanxi-made. Yan Xishan's Shanxi factory imitated the American M1928 Thompson submachine gun. Do you see what modifications he made to the original Thompson submachine gun?"

Ye Rongqiu took out the light weapons illustrated book and flipped through it, comparing it with the real gun at hand and said: "The barrel of the gun has been lengthened, nearly doubled in length, and the diameter of the gun has increased."

Fernhausen nodded: "The diameter of the gun has increased, and the diameter of the bullet has also increased. The diameter of the bullet is [-]mm."

Ye Rongqiu asked in surprise, "[-] millimeters?"

Fernhausen said: "This kind of gun is very common in the Jinsui Army, but it is rarely seen in other troops. This is the reason. The effective range of the submachine gun is short, the shooting accuracy is poor, and the service life is short. There is not much equipment in it, but it has great firepower at close range, and the Chinese like to use it very much. It is suitable for the Chinese battlefield. Yan Xishan deliberately made the bullets [-]mm, and this kind of bullet is not produced anywhere except Shanxi. Bullets, his guns, can only be used by his soldiers. He gave this kind of guns to others. After the bullets are used up, there will be no more, unless others cooperate with him. But now Shanxi is occupied by the Japanese, and the factory is gone. Now In fact, there are still thousands of Shanxi-made guns in the Chinese army, but without bullets, they are all scrap metal.”

Ye Rongqiu was silent.

Fernhausen said: "The Chinese are very smart, and there are some powerful people among you. You may not be less knowledgeable than me. You have imitated many guns from various countries and modified them according to your needs. On the battlefield in China, use your guns. Modified weapons are more effective than directly using weapons made by us in Germany and the United States. But many people use this wisdom in the wrong place. The Chinese should not lose to the Japanese. You have such a large country, so many people, so Many years of civilization. I think, if China loses in the end, it must be lost to yourselves.”

Ye Rongqiu shook his head slowly: "There will be no defeat. There are indeed some people who have used their intelligence in the wrong place, but that is only a small part. There are also many people who are working hard to defend our country."

Fernhausen sighed: "Your government tried its best when fighting the Chinese, but reserved when fighting the Japanese. I also hope that China can win."

Ye Rongqiu walked to the window, stared at the sky in the direction of Heigou and the others, and said firmly: "We will definitely win."

Gu Xiuge racked his brains to arrange his plan in Ruichang.Now the strength of their two regiments is comparable to that of the Japanese army. If they don't take the initiative to attack, they can only be exhausted until the Japanese army has reinforcements to do it.As soon as the Japanese reinforcements arrived, their situation would immediately deteriorate, and they would never have a chance to counterattack.So take advantage of the present and launch a general offensive with all your strength. As long as you can eat up this corps of the Japanese army before the reinforcements arrive, you can push the defense line back and pass Jiujiang, and the defense will be much easier.

Gu Xiuge discussed this strategy with Liu Wen and Guo Wu.Guo Wu objected: "It's too risky. Our two sides have equal strength. Whoever attacks first will definitely suffer. What is the probability of winning? Even if we can win, the sacrifice must be great."

Liu Wen always obeyed Gu Xiuge's words, but this time he also expressed his objection after being silent for half a minute: "I don't agree with fighting this battle."

Gu Xiuge sneered: "Sacrifice? When the reinforcements from the Japanese army come, they have attacked Ruichang and Wuhan. Will they sacrifice a regiment? A division? Or millions of ordinary people?"

Guo Wu said: "If we must fight, then please ask the division for reinforcements. You can't take the lives of the brothers as a cushion."

Gu Xiuge sneered: "Reinforcement from the division headquarters? Do you think the division headquarters will give us reinforcements? Those guys don't see us at all! We have to fight for ourselves and show them. I win once, but they can't see it. If I win twice, they won't see it, I will eat up the Japanese army bit by bit, and they will see it sooner or later!"

Liu Wen and Guo Wu looked at Gu Xiuge in astonishment.Liu Wen wasn't used to rebutting Gu Xiuge, but he still said tactfully: "I don't think——you shouldn't fight."

Guo Wu was silent for a long time, and asked: "Tuan Zuo, why are you fighting this battle?"

Gu Xiuge's eyes widened: "Why? You still have to ask why to beat a devil?"

Guo Wu stared back without fear: "I don't want to listen to high-sounding words. Tuan Zuo, I think you've changed a little bit. You're fighting this... this kind of battle in order to make Shangfeng notice you?"

Gu Xiuge said in a ridiculous tone: "What kind of battle? A dangerous battle? Can you tell me which battle is not dangerous?"

Guo Wu said, "It's a battle of self-death."

Liu Wen didn't speak, just looked at Gu Xiuge silently, and the three fell into a stalemate.Gu Xiuge was a little irritable, looked back with his head, and shouted: "Wang Shuaner, come here!"

On the other side of the militia team, a middle-aged man got up, he was the leader of that team, and he ran towards Gu Xiuge and the others.

Guo Wu asked him in surprise: "Tuan Zuo, what did you ask him to do?"

Gu Xiuge ignored him.

Wang Shuan'er ran up to him and asked curiously, "Captain Gu, what do you want from me?"

Gu Xiuge said: "Let me ask you, if there is a way to fight the devils, you have to do your best, and the sacrifice will be huge, very big, but you have a chance to eat all the devils, will you fight this kind of battle? "

Wang Shuan'er didn't even think about it, and immediately said: "Fight, why not fight? If you don't eat devils, devils will eat us all."

Gu Xiuge nodded in satisfaction.

Guo Wu frowned and said nothing.

Gu Xiuge patted Wang Shuan'er, indicating that he could go back.After Wang Shuaner left, Guo Wu said in a low voice: "Tuan Zuo, don't be influenced by... Chi. You killed five hundred people, and Shangfeng might give you a thousand people, but hundreds of brothers followed. You, you have to be worthy of them."

Liu Wen smiled wryly, "Those Chi guys are crazy."

Gu Xiuge waved his hand impatiently, signaling him not to say any more.He took out the map and said, "I'm just a little worried. That guy Ding Honglei was sent to defend Huangmei. Huangmei is not difficult to defend. His equipment and soldiers are better than mine, but it is difficult for him to defend. If I As long as there is no reinforcement from the Japanese army, even if I am cut off from supplies, I can at least guard for a month. I will give him half a discount, and I will count him to guard for half a month. As long as he loses there, the Japanese army will immediately come from Huangmei for reinforcements. As soon as their reinforcements arrived, we couldn't fight even if we wanted to. So it took two days to launch a general offensive. I have been thinking about how to fight these days, and I have thought of many plans..."

Guo Wu interrupted with some dissatisfaction: "Tuan Zuo."

Gu Xiuge raised his hand to stop him: "Just one word, I must fight this battle. Will you follow me?"

Guo Wu looked at him for a while, and finally stopped talking.

Limited to the terrain, Gu Xiuge didn't have any tricky tactics. His plan was nothing more than relying on experience to optimize the arrangement of firepower, try to provide maximum firepower and reduce casualties under the same conditions, but if he really wanted to launch a strong attack, Casualties cannot be suppressed no matter what.Gu Xiuge was determined to fight, so he went to discuss with another regiment leader.The head of the regiment also disagreed at first, Gu Xiuge said that his team is the main force, as long as he can win the battle, the credit will be divided equally between the two.The regiment leader was finally persuaded by him, so the two began to deploy the offensive in order to launch an early attack.

However, Gu Xiuge did not win this battle.He overestimated Ding Honglei.

Ding Honglei was in Huangmei with the best supplies, but he only stayed there for ten days.When the Japanese army launched a strong attack, he didn't even put up much resistance, so he took the shit and fled with his men.The Japanese army captured Huangmei and immediately went all the way south. On the morning when Gu Xiuge was about to launch an attack that night, Japanese reinforcements arrived in Ruichang.

As soon as the reinforcements from the Japanese army arrived, the situation immediately reversed. Not only did Gu Xiuge fail to launch a general attack on the Japanese army that night, but the Japanese army that received reinforcements launched a general offensive against them while the iron was hot.Gu Xiuge and another regiment of defenders fought hard to resist, but the firepower of the Japanese army was too strong. Although the two regiments endured the attack, their casualties were very heavy, and there were corpses everywhere in the battlefield.

The Japanese army was not satisfied with this, they spent two days adjusting, and once again launched a strong attack on Gu Xiuge and the others.This time, the national army was really powerless to resist, and the defenders of the other regiment ran away halfway through the fight. a position.

Gu Xiuge and the others had guarded Ruichang for half a month, but they finally couldn't hold it anymore.Liu Wen, Guo Wu and the others tried their best to persuade Gu Xiuge to withdraw his troops. Their current situation was even more unfavorable than the situation on the bank of the Wangjiang River. Without the natural barrier of the river, they would not be able to stop them on the open plain. The rampant Japanese tanks can't stop the crazy Japanese artillery fire, and their sacrifices have reached the limit.

Gu Xiuge finally decided to withdraw his troops.He asked the militia that followed them if they wanted to withdraw with them, but the militia refused.

Wang Shuaner smiled and said: "Brothers in the national army, we are different from you. Our home is here, and we have nowhere to retreat. We are not good at fighting your kind of warfare, but we are flexible and good at guerrilla warfare. You can go away." , if we stay here, the Japanese devils will not have a peaceful life."

A young man ran out and walked up to the black dog. He was the guy who asked the black dog for bullets last time.He took out a cigarette pipe from his pocket and stuffed it to the black dog: "Give it to you, I don't like smoking."

The black dog looked at him silently for a while, then put down the pipe.

Gu Xiuge still left after all.He cried when he left. It was the first time that Black Dog and many other soldiers saw him cry.

Liu Wen ran over to support Gu Xiuge, and Gu Xiuge whispered in his ear, "It's the first time I know that I have so many things, so much that I have to keep it." Then he said, "What are they? None, but they really tried their best."
