Chapter 632 The Japs Enter the Village
Gan Rong's elite commando team is racing against time with the Japanese heavy artillery regiment.
Xiang Chu's large army and Doihara Kenji's brigade were also racing against time.
The Japanese's main attack direction in Hunan is still Changsha.
The attack on Hanshou was a complete spoof by Kenji Doihara.
On the boat on the Yuan River, Xiang Chu said with a smile, "Xiao Wan! Why don't you ask Yamashita Ji Qiu what Doihara Xian'er has been busy with recently?"
Yu Xiaowan said angrily: "My dear brother! You are too curious."
Having said that, she quickly sent a telegram to inquire.
Not long after, Yamashita Yoshiaki replied: "Director Yu! He will set out from Shicheng at 2 a.m. tonight, follow the path Guan Gong took, and go south to seize Hanshou, and then ask the leader to grant him Hanshou as a fiefdom."
Xiang Chu read the message and suddenly realized, "I understand! This Doihara Xian'er is a fan of the Three Kingdoms and wants to be named Marquis of Han Shou Ting like Guan Gong."
Kong Ling laughed so hard that her body shook with laughter: "What a crazy person! He actually has such an idea."
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "It should be said that Doihara Xian'er still has a big childlike heart."
Yu Xiaowan said thoughtfully: "Brother Chu! Doihara Xian'er wants to follow the path that Guan Gong walked. It has been two thousand years. Can he find it?"
Xiang Chu said happily: "He will find his way to Hutudi! But I think we will get to Hanshou before him."
Yu Xiaowan shook her head and said, "A journey of a hundred miles begins with a single step. It's still hard to say."
Xiang Chu looked at the map and said thoughtfully, "Who is in charge of Changde now?"
Kong Ling checked the list: "Shen Zhui from your Military Control Bureau is said to be a talented person. When we pass by Changde, should we go to meet him?"
"No time! Let's go to Hanshou and destroy the Doihara Kenji Brigade first."
Xiang Chu shook his head and changed the subject.
"Honey! Show me the picture of our daughter again."
"No!"
Kong Ling deliberately refused.
Xiang Chu hugged her and forcibly took out the cash box where the photos were kept.
Kong Ling said coquettishly, "You rascal! If you don't give it to me, I will take it by force."
Xiang Chu looked at the photo beautifully and praised: "Hmm! My daughter really looks like me."
Kong Ling came over to watch with him and nodded:
"When we have another son, he will definitely look like me. Sister Xiaowan! You have to hurry up too."
Yu Xiaowan shook her head and said, "I have already made up my mind. I will not have children until the war of resistance is won."
Kong Ling exclaimed: "My silly sister! Are you still so particular?"
Xiang Chu said seriously: "Can you two be more serious? We are going to the front line to fight."
"You're asking for a fight! You're the most dishonest person."
Kong Ling and Yu Xiaowan roared like lions at the same time, rushed forward and beat and pinched him, making Xiang Chu truly experience the horror of having more than one wife.
At this time, the 34th Army's call sign radio broadcast sounded.
Yu Xiaowan stopped the domestic violence and went forward to transcribe and decipher the telegram.
She handed the message to Xiang Chu and scolded him, "Improper man! The Trojan Lin Qiaoer led the Mixed 1st Division along the same route we took, followed us all the way to Jiangzhi City, and now asks us where we are."
Xiang Chu thought for a moment and said, "Just say we have arrived in Ningxiang, and we will be able to reach Hanshou tomorrow."
Yu Xiaowan smiled bitterly and said, "I don't think she will believe it. She will definitely chase her all the way to Chenxi."
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "Don't worry! She's not stupid. She knows that she can't get so many boats even if she goes to Chenxi. She can only go to Changsha obediently, and then go to Wangcheng, Ningxiang, Yiyang to Hanshou."
Kong Ling put away the money box and asked in confusion, "You two! The Lin Qiaoer sisters are triplets. Which Lin Qiaoer is the one leading the Mixed Division?"
"do not know!"
Xiang Chu and Yu Xiaowan said in unison.
Kong Ling rolled her eyes at them both and waved her hand:
"Wash away and go to sleep!"
Xiang Chu waved his hand and said, "No hurry! I will teach Gan Rong and the others how to kill the Japanese heavy artillery regiment."
After saying this, he checked the map, sat down in front of the radio and sent a message:
"Lao Gan! After the enemy's heavy artillery regiment arrives at Potou Port, the Japanese warships will first bombard the dock and the surrounding area. You can hide in the reed marshes in the distance and in hidden places on the shore. You must wait for the Japanese heavy artillery to land, or wait for the right time to launch an attack."
Not long after, Gan Rong replied: "Everything will be in accordance with the commander's instructions! We will fight to the death to destroy the enemy's heavy artillery regiment."
Xiang Chu replied: "For safety's sake! Inform County Magistrate Gao to evacuate the people in the city in time."
Gan Rong replied to the telegram: "Don't worry! County Magistrate Gao has been notified."
No one can guarantee that the elite commandos can destroy the Japanese heavy artillery 100%, so necessary precautions must be taken in advance.
Chou time, Potou Port.
Gan Rong and Ye Shian led two thousand elite commandos here.
The two men followed Xiang Chu's instructions and acted separately.
Gan Rong led 1400 elite commandos to hide in villages and dense forests far away from the port.
Ye Shian took more than 600 people and hid in the reed marsh in the distance on more than 20 boats.
All that was left was to wait quietly for the arrival of the Japanese heavy artillery regiment.
It was foggy and rainy, and the weather was cold and damp, which was the unique weather in early spring in northern Hunan.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the ship carrying the Kokura Heavy Artillery Regiment finally arrived.
In addition to the three large transport ships carrying nine heavy cannons, there are also three gunboats, one ship with a crane, and one medium-sized transport ship.
Just as Xiang Chu said, after the Japanese ships approached, they launched a massive bombardment on the port, dock, and surrounding houses, reed marshes, etc.
In order to protect the Kokura Heavy Artillery Regiment, Takahashi Taisho also brought a hundred Japanese soldiers from the Seya reinforcement squad, and launched an indiscriminate attack on the shore.
After wasting a large amount of artillery shells and bullets, they failed to hit even a pig, so they stopped the attack with a sense of unsatisfaction.
Takahashi Taisho was very upset and picked up the ship's megaphone and ordered loudly: "The transport ship will dock immediately, unload all the heavy artillery, and raze Hanshou City to the ground before the brigade commander arrives."
"Hello!"
The Japanese ship captain immediately took the order.
The ship docked and began to unload the heavy artillery in full swing.
The three gunboats had other missions and left.
Takahashi Taisho looked at the butcher shop on the dock that was not destroyed by the artillery fire, and suddenly remembered the bacon hotpot last time. He ordered loudly: "Captain Seya! Tell everyone to follow Lieutenant Colonel Ben to go ashore and take a look."
"Hello!"
Captain Seya accepted the order excitedly.
Takahashi Taisho led a hundred Japanese soldiers to the butcher shop, but was extremely disappointed to find it was empty.
Captain Seya said with a smile: "Mr. Lieutenant Colonel! Can you take us to catch the Chinese flower girl?"
Takahashi Taisho glanced at the heavy artillery being unloaded and nodded, "Of course, but this lieutenant colonel cannot leave. Go ahead! Bring back more Chinese girls and more Chinese bacon for the hot pot."
"Yoshi! Seya will definitely fulfill your wish!"
Captain Seya said with a smile, and immediately led a hundred Japanese soldiers towards the distant village.
Some people discovered it in advance and shouted in panic: "The devils have entered the village!"
The people in the distant villages suddenly panicked, shouting and fleeing with their families.
The Japanese soldiers suddenly became excited, howling loudly and firing indiscriminately at the village in the distance.
The Seya team got carried away from the dock and unknowingly approached the ambush site of the elite commandos.
Gan Rong hid in a big tree and saw that the three gunboats had gone away and the nine heavy cannons had been unloaded from the dock. He hurriedly blew the charge and ordered an attack.
"Boom! Boom!"
Countless poison gas bombs flew towards the Kokura Heavy Artillery Regiment at the Potou Port Pier.
"Da-da! Da-da-da!"
Dense rain of bullets from light and heavy machine guns and submachine guns swept towards the Seya squad.
Ye Shian led more than 20 boats out of the reed marsh, firing guns and cannons fiercely, and rushed towards the Potou Port Pier.
