After coming out of Suzhou City, Xu Wen thought for a moment and took the initiative to resign to Zhou Weiguo: "Weiguo, you take the main force to retreat to Nanjing to rest, and I will stay with Li Wu and others to fight guerrillas."

Zhou Weiguo was surprised and said: "Brother Zhu, don't you go to Nanjing with me to rest? This is an order from the Army Headquarters!"

Xu Wen smiled slightly and said: "Brother, don't get me wrong, the reason why I chose to stay was not because I wanted to be a deserter, but because I wanted to contain the Japanese army as much as possible.

Buy more time for the national army to rest in Nanjing, regroup, and consolidate the defense line!"

Zhou Weiguo said: "Brother Zhu, if you stay here, you will have a narrow escape from death. With your military exploits in Shanghai, you will definitely have a bright future in Nanjing."

"Brother Weiguo, your kind brother understands." Xu Wen said with a serious look: "But what the elder brother wants to say is that I don't want to be granted the title of Marquis. I hope the sea will be peaceful. Now that the country is facing a national crisis, it is my generation of soldiers who have sacrificed their lives.

It is a critical time to forget about death and serve the country.

Even if I have a narrow escape, I must stay!"

Zhou Weiguo met Xu Wen's serious gaze with awe, saluted Xu Wen and said: "Brother Zhu puts national justice and national interests first, Wei Guo admires him greatly! You must pay attention to safety, I will wait in Nanjing."

On your triumphant return, I’ll treat you to a drink!”

"It's easy to say, just say goodbye to me brother!" Xu Wen returned the salute to Zhou Weiguo and said.

Zhou Weiguo left with hundreds of his men, while five No. 4 tanks and more than 70 soldiers from Qingfeng Village, including Li Wu, stayed with Xu Wen.

"Master, why don't we follow you to Nanjing? Do you really want to stay and stop the Japs?" Li Wu couldn't help but ask after seeing Zhou Weiguo leading the team away.

"Of course, what else do you think?" Xu Wen said.

"I thought you, the boss, wanted to run away and take your brothers back to Qingfeng Village!" Li Wu said with a smile.

"We can't go back to Qingfeng Village for the time being. Shanghai has been lost and Nanjing is in danger. We must stay and help the national army!

Let Battalion Commander Zhou take the independent battalion back for rest and replenishment, and we brothers will stay and continue to fight the Japanese!" Xu Wendao said.

"But, are there too few of us? Can such a small number of troops be able to stop hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops?" Li Wu asked worriedly.

Xu Wendao: "We don't need to block all the Japanese attacking troops, but we can choose important targets and give them a fatal blow!

Attack the enemy's important targets as much as possible and ambush their small forces!"

"Oh!" Li Wu nodded as if he understood, and then asked Xu Wendao: "Brother, where should we go next?"

"Find a hidden place on the spot and hide it first." Xu Wen waved his hand. He had a system in hand, which was like a universal radar detector. Once he encountered an important target like Fujita Susumu, it would very likely trigger the mission.

and issue a prompt.

At that time, he can lead this small group of elite troops to launch a surprise attack and behead them.

There are five Panzer IV tanks here, and their small force's assault capability is very strong. As long as the opportunity is grasped correctly, the probability of successful beheading is very high.

The reason for this choice was that Xu Wen felt that by evacuating to Nanjing with Zhou Weiguo, at most he would be able to get some additional soldiers.

As for weapons and equipment, the Chinese army had just experienced a disastrous defeat in the Battle of Songhu, and their vitality was severely damaged. They really could not come up with any decent weapons to arm him and Zhou Weiguo's troops.

Instead of doing this, it is better to choose to stay and use the system's help to attack behind enemy lines. You can not only cause trouble for the enemy, but also explode equipment and earn redemption points, killing two birds with one stone.

Therefore, Xu Wen immediately took Li Wu and other subordinates and hid in a forest not far west of the Beijing-Shanghai Railway from Suzhou and hid themselves.

This place is not far from the Beijing-Shanghai Railway, a major transportation artery. The Japanese pursuit troops will definitely pass through here, so fighter planes will definitely appear.

In fact, the Japanese army has regarded Xu Wen and his independent brigade, which caused heavy losses to the Japanese army and severely slapped them in the face, as a thorn in their side.

Matsui Iwane, then commander of the Shanghai Expeditionary Force, ordered the pursuit troops heading toward Nanjing to find Zhu Ziming and his independent brigade and annihilate them all to shame the Imperial Army.

Xu Wen didn't know it yet, but he had already become the target of public criticism.

The Japanese army also did not expect that Xu Wen and his troops they were looking for not only did not leave, but stayed behind, waiting to attack them again halfway.

The first Japanese army that came to our door was a Japanese pursuit force. They passed through Suzhou without entering, and directly bypassed Suzhou City, trying to catch up with the Chinese rearguard as quickly as possible and entangle them.

Buy time for our follow-up troops to catch up, and eliminate as many effective forces of the national army as possible before arriving in Nanjing.

In order to reduce the difficulty of their subsequent attack on Nanjing.

This Japanese army was actually the more than 100 Japanese soldiers who were ambushed and killed by Zhou Weiguo in anger during the original process.

But this time they encountered no longer Zhou Weiguo and his independent battalion, but Xu Wen's troops who had more powerful firepower, more advanced equipment, and stronger combat effectiveness.

Although Xu Wen only has less than 80 men in his hands, all of them are already all-round special forces. They also have dozens of light and heavy machine guns and submachine guns, and five Panzer IV tanks.

With such firepower, even if the Japs came as a unit, Xu Wen would still have the strength to fight them.

Therefore, when Wu Yongqiang, who was in charge of reconnaissance, hurriedly ran to report to Xu Wen and found more than a hundred Japanese.

Xu Wen immediately ordered: "Damn it, the little Japs are so rampant, how dare more than a hundred people to pursue them alone? I didn't say anything, copy the guys and kill them!"

"Yes!" Following Xu Wen, they fought several victorious battles and had so much good equipment at their disposal. The bandit warriors from Qingfeng Village were all confident and their morale was greatly increased!

So, when Xu Wen gave the order, they drove five No. 4 tanks, armed with all the light and heavy machine guns, and submachine guns, and followed Xu Wen out of the forest, killing the more than 100 Japanese spearheads.

Saburo Koizumi was the major commander of the vanguard force of the Japanese army. He was leading his men along the Beijing-Shanghai Railway from south to north.

A deafening roar suddenly came from the woods to their left. Saburo Koizumi quickly raised his hand to stop and ordered the troops to stop.

Xun Sheng turned around and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "What's the sound?"

Several Japanese soldiers behind him were also confused and looked at each other blankly.

Soon, the gun barrel of the No. 4 tank Xu Wen was riding on stretched out from the woods.
