Chapter 423: The First Generation! The Madam is Here
Yu Xiaowan suggested: "Brother Chu! You might as well pretend to be sick."
Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "I still want to stay on the front line to get intelligence."
Yu Xiaowan said helplessly: "Then it's up to you!"
At this time, Bao Ge received the telegram and read:
"General! Sato Kenfu sent a message saying that he will transfer to Taierzhuang and asked the Kamikaze Squadron to wait for them in Pan'an Hunan and go to Taierzhuang together."
"This guy has bad intentions!"
Xiang Chu cursed angrily and ordered,
"Heigo-kun! Tell Sato that the first generation is waiting for this cowardly guy."
"Hello!"
Bao Ge hurriedly accepted the order.
Yu Xiaowan said worriedly, "Brother Chu! If Sato's reinforcements arrive, won't Taierzhuang be in trouble again? Do you want to send a telegram to your sister Xi?"
"The information is not 100% accurate. What if Sato cheats? Wouldn't that be a joke? Let's wait and see!"
Xiang Chu shook his head, looked at the map, and said happily,
"Pan'an Lake is quite close, and the 13th Division is right next to it. We can just camp there."
The Kamikaze Squadron rushed all the way and arrived at the south of Pan'an Lake at midnight.
Xiang Chu immediately arranged for the troops to camp and wait for the arrival of Sato's detachment.
The Sato detachment arrived here the next afternoon.
Because he was called a coward for sending a telegram last night, Sato Kenfu immediately led his men to angrily find trouble with Xiang Chu.
He shouted angrily: "Fujiwara-chan! Why did you call this general a coward?"
Xiang Chu sneered, "To call you a coward is an understatement. You are the treacherous Lu Bu of the Three Kingdoms of China! You are a traitor! You have been fighting for three months but have failed to take Xuzhou. Now you have abandoned the Central China Army to help the North China Army. You don't know how to fight at all."
Sato Kenfu was so angry that his face turned red, and he shouted loudly: "This general made great contributions in the Sino-Japanese War and wiped out 5 Chinese troops. Do you dare to say that this general can't fight?"
"A good man doesn't mention his bravery!"
Xiang Chu sneered, pointed at Xuzhou City not far away, and roared loudly, "Sato coward! If you really know how to fight, you should lead your elite troops to capture Xuzhou City now. Otherwise, you should die to apologize to the leader and the people of Fuso for not winning a single battle in three months."
"Baga! This general will fight you to the death."
Sato Kenshin roared in anger and pulled out his command knife.
"Don't, General!"
His chief of staff hurried to dissuade him.
Xiang Chu also suddenly drew out his chrysanthemum samurai sword and sneered: "No one who draws a sword against me will survive. For the sake of the holy war, I will not kill you, but you must take down the Chinese city of Xuzhou, otherwise you will die."
The country of Fuso emphasizes the spirit of Bushido, and drawing a sword in front of an enemy means engaging in a duel.
Xiang Chu wanted to kill Sato Kenfu with one blow, and Sato Kenfu knew what he was thinking.
Sato Kenfu was in a dilemma, and he was so angry that he shouted, "I will take Xuzhou City right now and let you, the devil, have a good look at me."
After saying this, he sheathed his sword and turned to run towards his troops.
Xiang Chu was afraid that he would go to Taierzhuang, so he shouted, "Sato, you coward! The Kamikaze Squadron will follow you this time. Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed without mercy!"
"you--!"
Kensuke Sato was so angry that he was shaking all over.
With his retreat blocked, he had no choice but to take a gamble.
His chief of staff suggested, "General! Why not report this unreasonable request of the Yamashiro leader to Commander Ishida?"
Sato Kenfu waved his hand and said, "No! That would make me a coward. And I am really angry that I have not allowed Sato's detachment to attack Xuzhou in a large scale."
After he finished speaking, he immediately deployed his troops to attack Xuzhou under the pretext of being supervised by Xiang Chu.
Xiang Chu returned to the tent and immediately sent a telegram to Song Xi: "7. The Sato detachment, which originally wanted to support Taierzhuang, was provoked by me to change its tactics and attack Xuzhou. He attacked from the direction of Pan'an Lake... I will send people to blow up his ammunition depot, destroy his heavy artillery positions, and keep him informed of his marching route. Blindfolded man!"
Soon, Song Xi replied: "Blindfolded man! Great, I am worried that Sato's detachment will reinforce Taierzhuang. I will report it immediately. Please pay attention to your safety. To avoid being exposed, please report their ammunition depot and heavy artillery positions. 7 items!"
Xiang Chu replied: "7 points! You can send a small force to sneak in, and I will send people to cooperate appropriately. In addition, please lure Sato's detachment to go deep into the territory alone and surround and annihilate them, blindfolded man!"
Song Xi replied that he had received the telegram and reported it immediately.
Under Xiang Chu's strong stimulation, Sato Kenshin ordered his men to turn to attack Xuzhou City.
Under the cover of heavy artillery fire and the active retreat of the defenders outside the city, Sato's detachment quickly broke through the frontline positions of the defenders outside Xuzhou City.
Xiang Chu was not idle either. He ordered the Nan Ya Squadron to move forward to the Sato Detachment's ammunition depot to cooperate with the operations of the small group of national troops.
Zheng Zhili reminded softly, "General! The Tailiu Squadron wants to avenge the sword and deliberately sabotages Sato Kenfu. How about I take them with me?"
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Okay! You take the Tailiu Squadron to the heavy artillery position of the Sato Detachment. There will be a small group of Nationalist troops approaching. Don't intercept them on purpose and let them blow up the heavy artillery of the Sato Detachment."
Zheng Zhili smiled and said, "Zhili knows how to act."
After he finished speaking, he immediately ran towards the Tailiu Squadron, pretending to be a battlefield supervisor and rushed to the heavy artillery position of the Sato Squadron.
Yu Xiaowan suggested: "Brother Chu! There is a big battle ahead, aren't you going to arrange for the camp to be disbanded?"
Xiang Chu waved his hand and said, "No arrangements! I want to create the illusion that I didn't personally supervise the battle."
Yu Xiaowan said worriedly, "You recklessly commanded the Sato detachment to fight. You will definitely be responsible for the failure of the Sato detachment. Besides, Nanzō Yunko will be here soon."
Xiang Chu said solemnly, "Xiao Wan! Isn't this what we should do when we sacrifice ourselves for the country? When Nan Zao Yunzi comes over, I will lie down and pretend to be sick, and you will treat me like a mourner.
Yu Xiaowan said with tears in her eyes: "Why are you crying? She will have a bunch of children with you."
Xiang Chu couldn't help but hold her in his arms and gently scolded her, "Don't cry! It's unlucky."
At this moment, a series of violent explosions were heard from not far away.
Needless to say, the ammunition depot of Sato's detachment was detonated.
The radio transmission in the tent sounded urgently.
Xiang Chu hurried forward to transcribe and decipher the message:
"Blindfolded man! The encirclement and annihilation battle in the east of Xuzhou City has begun. To avoid accidental injury to you, please stay away from Pan'an Lake. 7!"
Xiang Chu immediately replied: "7! I have been at Pan'an Lake. The ammunition depot of Sato's detachment has exploded. Please attack with all your strength. Blindfolded man!"
Song Xi replied to the telegram: "Great! You guys exploded before the small suicide squad was sent out. Where is the heavy artillery position? Send out the suicide squad immediately."
"7! In the southwest of Pan'an Lake, the blindfolded man!"
Xiang Chu immediately sent her the location of the heavy artillery position.
Yu Xiaowan suggested, "Brother Chu! How about I call Zhang Linmao and Bao Ge in? You can't handle it alone."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Okay! I was so busy that I almost forgot."
Soon, Hongyi and Li Tong ran into the tent excitedly.
Hongyi smiled and said, "General! The ammunition depot of Sato's detachment was not guarded by anyone. Li Tong sneaked in alone and detonated it."
Li Tong added: "Master! No one saw it. Our Nan Ya Squadron was very far away and visited the front line beforehand."
Xiang Chu praised: "Very good!"
Soon, fierce gunfire and explosions were heard from the direction of the heavy artillery positions.
Zheng Zhili ran into the tent and said with a smile, "General! When the Tailiu Squadron saw the Nationalist suicide squad coming, they immediately fled from the heavy artillery position."
"very good!"
Xiang Chu praised, ran outside to check the battlefield situation, turned back to the tent, and shouted,
"Kobayashi-kun! Send a telegram to Commander Ishida and ask him to send reinforcements to Sato Squadron immediately. Hirasato-kun! Send a telegram to Sato Detachment and have them retreat immediately."
"Hello!"
Zhang Linmao and Bao Ge hurriedly accepted the order.
At this time, Yamashita Jixia ran in and said anxiously;
"First generation! The lady is coming."
