Chapter 433: The Iron-Blooded Yunnan Army
Shanghai, Iwai Residence.
Kenji Doihara rushed here with his agents.
Needless to say, he came here specifically for the deaths of Wang Ke and Wang Shi.
As the saying goes, peers are enemies.
Iwai Hideyoshi was reluctant to receive this suspicious intelligence officer.
He slipped out through the back door on the pretext of something and asked Secretary Yuan to receive him.
Secretary Yuan served tea and snacks and welcomed Doihara Kenji very warmly.
Doihara Xianer put his briefcase on the coffee table, picked up his teacup and went straight to the point: "Secretary Yuan! May I ask who knows the whereabouts of Wang Ke and Wang Shi?"
Secretary Yuan pretended to be confused and said, "Intelligence Officer Doihara! I have never heard of Wang Kewangshi, whom you mentioned."
"No! There are two people, Wang Ke and Wang Shi."
Doihara Kenji said unhappily and put down the teacup.
But it hit the briefcase, the teacup fell over, and the tea splashed on the briefcase and Doihara Ken'er's trousers.
"Ouch!"
Doihara Kan'er stood up because of the heat.
However, he immediately opened his briefcase, took out the documents inside and wiped them.
Secretary Yuan hurriedly found a dry towel and handed it to him. He saw the names of the two documents, which were: "Progress Report of the Special Committee on China's Instigation of Chinese Military and Political Leaders" and "Research and Analysis on the Similarities between 'Phoenix', 'Thousand-Faced Kuige' and 'Yamada'".
Secretary Yuan was shocked and suddenly realized something.
The mystery in his heart was solved by the name of the document, Doihara Kan'ei.
It turned out that the leader of the Yamashita generation was Fujiwara no Daisuke and "Phoenix", his own comrades.
He pretended to be calm, poured tea and water to Doihara Xian'er again, and apologized, "Intelligence officer! I don't know about Wang Ke and Wang Shi."
Doihara Kan'er was simply in no mood to explain to someone who didn't know.
He said unhappily, "Secretary Yuan! Where is Consul General Iwai?"
Secretary Yuan said as agreed with Iwai Hideyoshi: "I went to Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou."
"If he comes back, please ask him to call me."
Doihara Kan'er said indifferently and left the reception room without even drinking the tea.
Secretary Yuan saw him off to the car and watched him drive out of the gate, shouting in his heart: "Comrade Phoenix! You must be on guard against the cunning Doihara Kenji."
Taizhou, Qinhu Lake.
Xiang Chu took Ming Qianxing to travel and deliberately delayed the arrival of the Japanese reinforcements in Xuzhou.
In the evening, camp by the Qinhu Lake and enjoy the beautiful sunset.
In order to prevent the Japanese soldiers from burning, killing and looting, he chose to camp in the wilderness far away from the village, saying it was for the safety of the special envoy.
With Kawashima Yoshizhi accompanying Ming Qianxing, he was completely undisturbed.
With the assistance of Zheng Zhili, he went north and continuously sent intelligence from the Xuzhou front to Song Xi.
"The Japanese concentrated six reinforced battalions, 34 tanks, 90 artillery pieces, and 30 aircraft to raid our 60th Army's Taierzhuang position..."
"The enemy's North China Front reinforcements arrived in the north of Taierzhuang. The 60th Army fought desperately. The women's suicide squad carried bombs, mortar shells, and cluster grenades to destroy and damage more than 20 enemy tanks..."
"The enemy's Central China Front reinforcements arrived at Yuwang Mountain, with more than 60 heavy artillery shells, and will carpet bomb the th Army's Yuwang Mountain position..."
"The 60th Army communicated in a minority language, which the enemy could not decipher, and was completely unaware of the crossfire at the Yuwangshan position."
"The enemy launched a frontal assault, launched a roundabout attack, and fought 18 fierce battles. Aircraft bombing and artillery bombing still failed to shake the 60th Army of the Yunnan Army's Yuwangshan position..."
"In the Battle of Xuzhou, the enemy has suffered more than 2 casualties!"
"The enemy headquarters praised: The bloody battle with the 60th Army of the Yunnan Army was the most fierce charge we have encountered since the war with the Chinese Army on September th. The bravery of the Yunnan Army is rare!"
Xiang Chu looked at the telegrams one by one and said with emotion: "What an iron-blooded Yunnan Army!"
When they approached Xuzhou, the two accompanying Japanese reinforcement divisions immediately entered the battlefield.
They moved towards the west of Xuzhou, apparently intending to cut off the Chinese army's retreat.
Zheng Zhili shook his head and said, "General! The Yunnan Army held out for 20 days and suffered 2 casualties. This has bought us a lot of time. We should telegraph our troops to withdraw quickly, otherwise we will be surrounded by the Japanese army."
Xiang Chu looked at the enemy and our own situation map and shook his head, saying, "Everyone knows to retreat, but two legs can't outrun four wheels. We must find a gap to break through."
Having said that, he sent an urgent telegram to Song Xi: "7 points! The Japanese army is encircling Xuzhou from the north and south, intending to annihilate our main force. Now Mengcheng has been lost, the Longhai Railway has been occupied, and 30 enemy troops have formed a siege on Xuzhou. Xuzhou must not be defended. Break out quickly to the west and south. Blindfolded man!"
After sending the telegram, he looked at the map, looking for the best place to break out.
At this time, Yoshiji Kawashima's voice sounded under the car.
"Lieutenant General Fujiwara! The special envoy invites you to play chess."
In order to get Ming Qianxing to stop bothering him these days, whenever Ming Qianxing asked him to play Go, Xiang Chu would come up with a killer move, making Ming Qianxing afraid to play with him. But today, he didn't know what happened, but he dared to play with him again.
Xiang Chu quickly lay down on the camp bed and ordered:
"Zhili! Tell her that my headache has come back again."
Zheng Zhili nodded and said, "Okay! I'll play chess with him."
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "Okay! We must win and lose equally."
"understand!"
Zheng Zhili said happily and got off the armored vehicle.
When Kawashima Yoshizhi heard that he had a headache, he got in the car and asked with concern:
"General Fujiwara! Are you okay?"
Xiang Chu waved his hand and said, "It's okay! Just take a break. Zhili is good at chess, let him play with Qianxing."
Although Kawashima Yoshizhi was looking at him, her eyes were like a vixen's wandering in the car, and it was obvious that she had no good intentions.
Xiang Chu simply stood up and said with a smile: "Miss Fang Zhi! It's really nothing. Go back and protect the special envoy. There are quite a few Chinese guerrillas here."
Kawashima Yoshizhi didn't notice anything wrong and nodded, "Okay! You should pay more attention to rest, otherwise Section Chief Yunzi will definitely be very sad when she finds out."
Xiang Chu deliberately flattered: "Miss Fang Zhi! It seems that the special envoy has fallen in love with you. You may become the wife of the Ming family."
"General Fujiwara is making fun of me, how could that be possible?"
Yoshizhi Kawashima covered her mouth and laughed, then turned and walked out of the car.
Indeed, it is really difficult to get the Ming family to accept her.
Xiang Chu was still in shock and whispered, "Xiao Lin-kun! Watch down there and report if anyone comes."
"Hello!"
Zhang Linmao hurriedly took the order and staggered out of the car.
He has also been sending and receiving telegrams, and no one has gotten much sleep these days.
Xiang Chu closed the car door and continued to check the map, looking for a breakout point.
Soon, an urgent radio message was heard.
He hurriedly transcribed and quickly deciphered the message as follows:
"Blindfolded man! Our army will break out. Please provide the location of the enemy's gap. 7 items!"
Xiang Chu hurriedly replied to the telegram: "7 points! We will stage an empty city plan in Xuzhou, and the main force will split into multiple routes to quickly break out of the mountainous area on the border between Henan and Anhui. The enemy has gaps...blindfolded men!"
Song Xi replied to the message: "Blindfolded man! This coincides with the Fifth War Zone's judgment."
"Sister Xi! I should get some sleep, otherwise I won't be able to repay you."
After Xiang Chu sent this message, he turned off the radio and fell asleep on the camp bed...
