Chapter 489: Rushing over to sink it
Xu Lai immediately followed Xiang Chu's instructions and sent a provocative telegram to Qingmu Fantong:
"Aoki Iidō! Report your location, I will kill you right now."
Soon, Aoki Fantong sent a telegram:
"Yamashita Chuxiong! The Aoki League is at the lake mouth, come here quickly if you dare."
Xu Lai reported: "Chief! The 106th Division has arrived at Hukou."
Xiang Chu opened the map and looked at it, then ordered: "Alai! Tell him by telegram: You are just a minor general, and you dare to order this lieutenant general. Your marching speed is slower than a snail. Now commit suicide by cutting your stomach."
"it is good!"
Xu Lai found it amusing and quickly sent a telegram.
Not long after, I received a call back from Qingmu Fantong: "Yamashita Chuxiong! Don't be so cocky. Even if I don't win the battle, I can still be promoted to Lieutenant General as long as I complete the task of distributing 100 million yuan of fake currency. You are a piece of trash!"
Yu Xiaowan glanced at the message and angrily said, "I'll send a telegram to scold this rubbish to death."
"Don't!"
Xiang Chu hurriedly stopped him, took out his notebook, and ordered,
"Xiao Wan! A Lai! Stop arguing with him. Hurry up and put the radio in the call sign position of the Second Army and the Eleventh Army Headquarters. Since the 106th Division has arrived at Hukou, the other divisions of the Eleventh Army are probably nearby. I need to carefully determine the current deployment of the Japanese troops."
"Yes!"
Yu Xiaowan and Xu Lai hurriedly accepted the order.
Soon, one telegram after another was received and deciphered.
Xiang Chu marked the numbers of the Japanese troops on the military map.
Soon, the deployment of the Japanese troops became clearer and clearer on a blank military map.
Xiang Chu said with satisfaction: "Well! That's great. Now that we know where the Japanese troops are, it will be easier to fight them."
Yu Xiaowan said angrily, "Humph! Some people don't want to take Alai and me on board."
"A total of 3 people and some others."
Xiang Chu scolded, and when he saw the radio was ringing again, he ordered,
"Don't be complaining, just go and collect the newspaper."
"I'll hit you!"
Yu Xiaowan twisted his ear coquettishly and hurried to copy the telegram.
Xu Lai took the opportunity to offer a cup of Longjing tea and said with a smile:
"Brother Chu! You've worked hard, have some tea."
Xiang Chu took the teacup and praised:
"Yeah! Alai cares more about people than some people."
Yu Xiaowan yelled, "Humph! I won't treat your headache anymore."
Xiang Chu yelled, "If you don't treat him, who will? Anyway, I'm relying on you."
Xu Lai smiled and said, "You two! Do you really need to put on airs?"
With men and women working together, the work is not tiring and the captain's room is lively.
Soon, Yu Xiaowan gave the deciphered message to Xiang Chu and said anxiously:
"Brother Chu! The Hata detachment will attack Gutang by motorboat tomorrow morning. This information should be reported immediately."
"it is good!"
Xiang Chu hurriedly took the telegram paper and sent a telegram to the special call sign of the Ninth War Zone Command.
"Fifty thousand! The Hata detachment will attack Gutang by motorboat at dawn tomorrow. Blindfolded men!"
Soon, the dedicated call sign replied:
"Blindfolded man! I have received the message. We are in urgent need of the enemy's troop deployment. I hope you can provide them. Fifty thousand!"
Xiang Chu immediately replied with a long telegram: "Fifty thousand! According to the intelligence just received, the enemy's 106th Army's 6th Division is in Hukou, and the th Division is in Susong...
The 3rd and 10th Divisions of the Second Army are in Yingshang, and the 13th and 16th Divisions are stuck in the muddy Dabie Mountains... Blindfolded people!"
Half an hour later, the special call sign replied: "Blindfolded man! Message received, extremely important. In addition, the Supreme Command has learned that you have mastered the matter of the Dongcang landing ship transporting 100 million fake French currency. The Military and Central Bureaus are unable to carry out the destruction mission. Please find a way to sink it. Fifty thousand!"
Xiang Chu looked at the telegram and felt a little amused and helpless. Yu Xiaowan and Xu Lai came over and saw it.
Yu Xiaowan said angrily: "How come these tens of thousands of people from the Military and Central Bureau of Investigation can't destroy a Dongcang landing ship?"
Xu Lai shook his head and said, "Dean Yu! They are just like that. They fight among themselves and are as soft as a persimmon when dealing with the Japanese."
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "Alai! The persimmon is not soft but still quite hard."
Xu Lai said delicately: "Brother Chu! You are making fun of Alai."
"Where is it?"
Xiang Chu smiled and quickly sent a message to the special call sign:
"Fifty thousand! Received the message, determined to complete the mission. Blindfolded man!"
At this moment, the anti-mine alarm suddenly sounded on the ship.
Yu Xiaowan and Xu Lai panicked and ran into the inner room to get guns.
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "This alarm indicates that there are drifting mines on the river. You two don't need to take your guns, take your life jackets. I'll go up and take a look, you two don't come out yet."
After saying this, he ran out of the captain's room.
Xu Lai smiled bitterly and said, "That's right!"
Yu Xiaowan smiled and said, "Let's learn some knowledge about ships."
She took a book from the bookshelf and handed it to Xu Lai, then took one for herself and began to read it with interest.
Xu Lai smiled bitterly and said, "Dean Yu! I am studying drama and I don't like reading books about fighting and killing."
Yu Xiaowan smiled and said, "If you follow him, you have to learn, otherwise you won't be able to communicate with him."
"Okay! Let me see."
Xu Lai said happily.
At this time, Xiang Chu ran to the cockpit.
Zheng Zhili had been staring at this place and reported loudly: "Chief! We are passing through a mine danger zone, so we have issued an alarm."
"Yes! Very good."
Xiang Chu nodded, paused, and asked the lieutenant who was in charge of the Xicang ship with a smile,
"Lieutenant! What's your name?"
The lieutenant replied respectfully: "General! My name is Pinggu Jiulang."
"Pretty good!"
Xiang Chu nodded with satisfaction and said to the Japanese sailors in the cockpit, "Everyone! You are all excellent soldiers of the Imperial Navy. As long as you cooperate with the actions of the Shadow Agency, this agency chief will report to Commander Hase Changqing to promote you and reward you with a large amount of Japanese yen."
The Japanese sailors thanked in unison: "Thank you, General!"
Xiang Chu pointed at a mine floating down the river and said, "Lieutenant! The Imperial Navy has already reached the mouth of the lake, so why are there still Chinese mines on the river? Is there no one fishing for them?"
Pinggu Jiulang bowed and said, "General! The Chinese Navy is still throwing drifting mines into the Yangtze River. It is hard to defend against them. We also fished out three a few days ago, but there are too many to fish out."
Xiang Chu praised: "Well! You did a great job, doing what a minesweeper does."
Pinggu Jiulang was afraid that he would salvage the mines, and hurriedly said, "General! Salvaging mines is too dangerous."
"This general knows, we don't need to salvage, just do it well!"
Xiang Chu smiled, patted his shoulder, and walked out of the cockpit.
I heard Hiraya Kuro's excited voice from behind:
"Thank you, General! Pinggu is willing to serve you."
Xiang Chu stopped and ordered Zheng Zhili: "Chiyo-kun! Give Pinggu-kun and other sailors on the Nisakura ship 1,000 yen each, five packs of cigarettes, and five packs of biscuits."
"Hello!"
Zheng Zhili bowed and accepted the order.
Xiang Chu knew that both sides deployed 150 million troops in this Wuhan Battle, and it would definitely take a long time.
In order to sail on the Yangtze River for a long time and frequently board and disembark warships, it is necessary to win over these sailors first.
Xiang Chu returned to the captain's room. Yu Xiaowan took out a telegram and said with a smile:
"Brother Chu! I helped you hijack the telegram sent by the Dongcang landing ship to that good-for-nothing."
"Where is the Dongcang?"
Xiang Chu said excitedly, snatched the telegram quickly, and laughed,
"Great! This guy is still in Jiangyin. Let's rush over to sink it overnight."
