Chapter 353: Caught by the Japanese and taken to the front line to fight

Xiang Chu turned around and walked forward. Seeing that it was a lieutenant of the military police, he pretended to be angry and said:

"Lieutenant! Why are you so loud? Isn't it better to save your strength for dealing with the Chinese soldiers?"

Seeing Xiang Chu so strong, the lieutenant of the military police said in a gentle tone:

"Captain! Password!"

"Occupy Shanghai!"

Xiang Chu responded, paused, and asked back,

"Reply!"

The lieutenant of the military police deliberately said: "Drinking horses from the Yellow River!"

Xiang Chu laughed and said, "Lieutenant! The order should be to let the horses drink from the Yangtze River. It is said that the water of the Yellow River in China is very turbid and cannot be used to drink from. Haha!"

The lieutenant of the military police was amused by him and laughed:

"Haha! Hase was just talking nonsense."

Xiang Chu said with a smile: "It turns out that the lieutenant has the same surname as Commander Hase. How enviable."

At this time, a Japanese military policeman came forward and asked Hongyi: "Excuse me, who are you?"

Hongyi glanced at him, touched his bald head, and said domineeringly: "Doihara Akitake! Sergeant of Noda's squad, we just came down from the front line of Daba and defeated a Chinese company. May I ask if you have been to the front line?"

The Japanese military police apologized: "Sorry! I haven't been there yet."

"Haha! You haven't even been to the front line, why are you coming to China?"

The members of the "Fifth Column" all laughed and showed off their Japanese, making the military police feel ashamed.

Xiang Chu shouted, "Sergeant! Don't be rude."

"Hello!"

Hongyi nodded hurriedly.

"Captain! You go ..."

The Japanese military police lieutenant continued to interrogate.

At this time, several Japanese troop transport trucks drove over.

"Creaky!"

The front truck stopped next to Xiang Chu.

The leader was a colonel, who pointed at Xiang Chu and shouted, "Captain! Hurry up and take your men with me, the captain, and get on the car to the front line to stop the Chinese army."

"Hello!"

Xiang Chu bowed and accepted the order.

Before he knew it, he was captured by the Japanese and taken to the front line to fight.

He patted the military police lieutenant on the shoulder and said in a helpless manner: "Hase-kun! You just left the front line and are back on the front line again. Goodbye!"

"Disrespect! Disrespect!"

The military police lieutenant apologized.

Xiang Chu and Hongyi each took half of the people and got on the two trucks at the back.

There were quite a few Japanese soldiers in the truck, all of them looked listless.

Xiang Chuxiao asked a Japanese sergeant: "Sergeant! Are you still asleep?"

The Japanese sergeant complained, "Sir! We just left the front line and haven't even walked back to the camp yet, but Captain Oshima has sent us back to the front line again. Are you going to let us rest?"

Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "Are we still different? By the way! Which team are you from?"

The Japanese sergeant replied: "There are only 30 people left in the Takegami squad, and the squad leader was killed in the battle."

Xiang Chu pretended to be envious and said, "It seems that Captain Takegami has entered the Yasukuni Shrine. Come! Smoke a cigarette from my hometown Tokyo."

After he finished speaking, he took out cigarettes and distributed them to the Japanese soldiers in the carriage, making the relationship very harmonious.

Gan Rong imitated the Japanese telegraph soldier and placed the radio knob at the Japanese army's call sign position. He also had a great time chatting with the Japanese telegraph soldier of the Takekami squad.

An hour later, the truck arrived at the outskirts of Songjiang County.

The Japanese captain pointed to a bridge not far away and said, "Songjiang Bridge is extremely critical. It determines whether the imperial army can strangle tens of thousands of Chinese troops. Which of your squads is willing to guard it?"

Xiang Chu raised his hand hastily and shouted, "Captain Oshima! Team Noda is willing to defend Songjiang Bridge to the death."

"Yoshi!"

The Japanese captain nodded with satisfaction.

Xiang Chu knew from the troop deployment map that this was a key bridge blocking the Chinese army's retreat to the west.

In order to prevent the Japanese captain from changing his mind, Xiang Chu loudly ordered:

"Noda Squad! Quickly deploy your defenses. Do not allow even a single Chinese soldier to cross the bridge, or you will die!"

"Hello!"

The entire "Fifth Column" hurriedly received the order.

Captain Oshima shouted loudly: "Others, follow me and go to Songjiang County to eliminate the remnants of the 67th Army of the Northeastern China Army and capture its commander Wu Keren alive."

Xiang Chu didn't expect that the Japanese captain was so clear about the deployment of the Chinese troops.

After the Japanese captain walked away, Xiang Chu hurriedly ordered:

"Gan Rong! Send a telegram to Minister Chen and Commander Zhang of the 8th Army immediately, and tell them that we have taken control of Songjiang Bridge. Anyone who wants to cross it should hurry."

"Yes!"

Gan Rong hurriedly accepted the order.

At this time, the 8th Army Headquarters.

Zhang Kui was extremely anxious because the order to retreat had not yet been issued and the Japanese had already blocked all the bridges for retreating to the west.

If he waits any longer, his troops will be surrounded and killed by the Japanese.

The telegraph operator suddenly reported loudly: "Commander! Xiang Chu's commanding team sent a telegram saying that they have taken control of Songjiang Bridge."

"real?!"

Zhang Kui was overjoyed and ran to the map, but then he asked in confusion,

"This bridge is under heavy Japanese control. The intelligence can't be false."

His chief of staff suggested, "Why not ask Minister Chen to see if they have received this intelligence?"

Zhang Kui ordered, "Okay! Ask quickly."

The telegraph operator sent a quick message and received an immediate reply:

"This telegram has been received, it's absolutely true!"

Zhang Kui couldn't help but praise: "Xiang boy is really extraordinary!"

A lieutenant colonel volunteered: "Commander! Let me go over and take a look."

Zhang Kui nodded and said, "Lin Wei! Take all the female soldiers with you and retreat through Songjiang Bridge first. Escape as fast as you can."

"Yes!"

The lieutenant colonel hurriedly accepted the order.

After Xiang Chu received the call back from Minister Chen and Zhang Kui, he immediately ordered:

"Sergeant! Take your men to the other side of the bridge, take off your uniforms and welcome your comrades across the bridge."

"Hello!"

Hongyi hurriedly accepted the order.

Xiang Chu handed the flashlight to Bao Ge and instructed, "Bao Ge! Go to Songjiang County and keep an eye on it. If the Japanese captain brings people over, shine the flashlight towards the bridgehead three times."

"Hello!"

Bao Ge hurriedly accepted the order.

Soon, Lin Wei led hundreds of female soldiers across Songjiang Bridge.

The female soldiers were all stunned when they saw the lifelike Japanese soldiers on the bridge.

Xiang Chu saw Xiao Qian was also inside and said with a smile: "Lieutenant Xiao! Hurry and cross the bridge."

Xiao Qian exclaimed: "It turned out to be Director Xiang!"

Lin Wei shouted in a low voice: "Hurry up and leave!"

The female soldiers hurriedly crossed the Songjiang Bridge and ran westward.

Lin Wei said gratefully: "Director Xiang! I didn't expect you guys really controlled this bridge."

Xiang Chu said anxiously: "Notify Commander Zhang to retreat quickly, or we will be killed by the Japanese."

Lin Wei smiled bitterly and said, "Captain Zhang is afraid that the female soldiers will fall into the hands of the devils. How can the male soldiers retreat without orders?"

After saying this, he turned around and ran back.

Xiang Chu couldn't help but exclaimed: "I really admire this bald guy!"

However, Zhang Kui was not so rigid and released a large number of wounded soldiers through Songjiang Bridge.

Minister Chen also followed his example and let all the female soldiers and disabled soldiers pass Songjiang Bridge.

There was constant sound of gunfire from the direction of Songjiang County, and the Japanese heavy artillery bombarded non-stop.

Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "Gan Rong! I'm afraid all the 67th Army of the Northeast Army will die for their country."

Gan Rong said with tears in his eyes, "The Northeast Army was blamed for not resisting, which was equivalent to dying to prove its will."

Xiang Chu ordered: "Oh, right! Ask the radio operator of the Takegami Squad what the battle situation in Songjiang County is like."

"Right!"

Gan Rong nodded and asked hurriedly:

"Takenami Squad! How's the battle to capture Songjiang County going?"

The telegraph operator of the Takegami team replied excitedly:

"Team Noda! The Imperial Army wiped out 67 troops of the 2th Army of the Northeastern China Army, killing 6 generals including the Chinese Army Commander Wu Keren, and 8 regiment commanders. Haha!"

Gan Rong was stunned. Xiang Chu quickly grabbed the microphone, suppressed his grief, and asked with concern:

"Team Takegami suffered no casualties, right?"

The telegraph soldier of Takegami Squad cried:

"They're all dead! I'm the only one left. It turns out that the Northeastern Chinese Army is also very good at fighting."

"what?!"

Xiang Chu pretended to be surprised and ended the call.

He turned the knob to the send position and immediately sent an urgent message to Minister Chen, Zhang Kui, and the headquarters:

"All the soldiers of the 67th Army were killed, Commander Wu Keren died for his country, Songjiang was lost, I temporarily control the Songjiang Bridge and swear to defend it to the death. The troops on the east side of the bridge, please retreat quickly! Retreat quickly! Xiang Chu!"

The Japanese occupied Songjiang, and 50 troops were immediately trapped. If they did not retreat, they would be wiped out.
