Chapter 649: Fighting is Rebellion
Yu Xiaowan angrily sent an inquiry telegram to the 1st Army Group.
Soon, the 1st Army Group responded: "Chu Xi! The Supreme Command has asked my army group to command your army. Report your position and equipment immediately, otherwise we will report you to the Supreme Command for disobeying orders. Zeng Yun!"
After reading the telegram, Kong Ling said angrily: "This is simply outrageous. I will ask Minister Chen."
At this time, a transmission sound came from the radio station with Xiang Chu's personal call sign.
Yu Xiaowan copied the decoded message and said helplessly: "Brother Chu! The boss sent a message saying that because the higher-ups are worried that Zeng Yun will lead his troops to surrender to the enemy, and he has repeatedly reported that the troops are insufficient, he ordered our army to temporarily return to the command of the 1st Army.
On the surface, they are under Zeng Yun's management, but in reality they are just supervisors. If they really surrender, they will be annihilated."
Xiang Chu stared at the message for a long time, then smiled bitterly and said, "This is too difficult. We are dancing with the wolves, and we may be eaten by them at any time."
Kong Ling shook his head and said, "The 1st Army has three reinforced divisions with over 3 troops, far more than us. If he really surrenders, it will be too late."
Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter! Since it is an order from the Supreme Commander, it must be carried out. Xiaowan! Reply to the telegram to the boss and resolutely carry it out. I will reply to the telegram to Zeng Yun, just to cheat, so that he can pass on false information to the devils on my behalf."
After saying this, he sat down in front of the radio and sent a telegram to Zeng Yun: "Commander Zeng! The 34th Army will resolutely carry out the orders of the Supreme Command.
At present, our army has just crossed the Yuan River. As more than half of its troops have been lost and there are many wounded, they are resting on the shore and in nearby villages.
In this battle, too much equipment was damaged or lost, and the heavy artillery was destroyed by the Japanese bombers. Only a hundred anti-aircraft machine guns and sixty Type 92 infantry guns were left.
I hope you can supplement me after joining the 1st Army. Thank you very much! Chu Xi! "
Kong Ling and Yu Xiaowan kept staring at him sending the telegram and couldn't help laughing out loud.
Kong Ling said angrily, "Her father! You are really playing tricks on me. You are crying poor to Zeng Yun."
Yu Xiaowan kissed him excitedly and said happily: "What a smart man."
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "Do you two believe it? Zeng Yun will make us travel day and night to Miluo so that we can enter Huilong Valley and be surrounded and strangled by Anan Brigade."
"Do not believe!"
Kong Ling and Yu Xiaowan said in unison.
At this time, the radio transmission sounded.
Yu Xiaowan copied the deciphered message: "Chu Xi! You are exaggerating. You have three days to rush to Miluo to join the army group to fight against the Kumamoto Division. If you delay the deadline, I will punish you by military law. Zeng Yun!"
Xiang Chu sneered and said, "You still want to use military law against me? I will kill you in a minute."
Kong Ling said angrily, "Her father! Don't ignore the overall situation. If you kill him, won't the First Army collapse?"
After she finished speaking, she immediately replied to the message: "Message received!"
Yu Xiaowan said worriedly, "You two! The Japanese blocked the way and the road is difficult to travel. How can it be easy for 3 people to reach Miluo within three days?"
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "I am the meat and they are the butchers. No matter how difficult it is, I have to go this way."
After he finished speaking, he picked up the megaphone and shouted, "Attention, division and regiment commanders! Leave after breakfast."
Miluo City, 1st Army Headquarters.
曾云集合了集团军下属的精锐特1师、特2师、特3师和混1师等4位师长过来开会，研究下一步作战计划。
After reading the message from the 34th Army, he said happily:
"Great! The 34th Army is now under my command."
The commander of the elite 1st Special Division shook his head and said, "Commander! Our four divisions have a total strength of 4. We are more than enough to defeat the Kumamoto Division. There is no need for the 34th Army to come and steal the credit."
Zeng Yun smiled and said, "This commander is a Han Xin who uses soldiers, the more the better, and the weapons of the 34th Army are not bad, find a reason to get their equipment to you."
The commanders of the 2nd and 3rd Special Divisions said in unison: "Great! That's great."
The commander of the 3rd Special Division said with a smile: "It is said that the 34th Army is very capable in fighting. We can also let them fight in the front of us."
At this time, Lin Qiaoer handed the telegram to Zeng Yun again and sneered: "Commander! The 34th Army is useless. If you come here, you will be a burden."
Zeng Yun smiled and said, "My Master, Chu Xi is cunning! His message is 100% fake. Besides, he robbed so many bandits along the way from Burma to Hunan, he will definitely purchase the most advanced weapons again."
Lin Qiaoer rolled her eyes at him and said unhappily, "Don't you know Chu Xi's wives?"
Zeng Yun said disapprovingly: "Chu Xi was with them quietly, and your uncle pretended to know nothing."
The commander of the elite 2nd Special Division echoed, "Right! When we get to our First Army, if the commander tells him to die, he won't be able to survive."
Lin Qiaoer shook her head and said, "How naive! How could Kong Ling and Song Xi not save their men?"
At this time, the intelligence captain stepped forward and reported loudly: "Commander! According to intelligence, the vanguards of the Japanese Sendai Division and Kagoshima Division have passed Yueyang and will meet with the Kumamoto Division."
"So many?"
Zeng Yun exclaimed, his face turned pale, and asked,
"Where is the Anami Geometry Brigade of the Osaka Division?"
The intelligence captain took a look at the map and reported:
"They should be on their way from Yiyang to Miluo."
Zeng Yun said worriedly: "Everyone! The three Japanese divisions coming from the north are easy to deal with. After all, there is a Miluo River blocking them. Our army is blocking them on the south side of the river, so they can't get through for the time being.
This Anan Geometry Brigade is coming from behind, who can stop them?"
Lin Qiaoer said disapprovingly: "Uncle! According to reliable intelligence, Anan's Geometric Brigade is going to ambush the 34th Army. They will definitely not be able to defeat the 34th Army. There is no need for us to care about them."
Zeng Yun said anxiously, "Silly girl! Uncle also knows that Anan Brigade cannot defeat the 34th Army, but we cannot let the 34th Army take the credit. Don't you understand my good intentions?"
Needless to say, he wanted Xiang Chu to fight the battle, and the credit could not go to Xiang Chu. It would be best if one of his divisions could win the battle without any effort and reap the credit.
The commander of the elite 1st Special Division hurriedly said: "Commander! Xiongcai is willing to lead the 1st Special Division to stop Anan's Geometry Brigade."
Zeng Yun said happily: "Captain Sun! You must lead the troops over immediately and wait until the 34th Army has almost finished fighting before intervening in the battle.
And you have to block the road so that the 34th Army can’t reach Miluo in three days, so that your divisions can divide up their men and equipment. Haha!”
"I understand! Haha!"
Sun Xiongcai also laughed.
Zeng Yun continued to instruct, "Captain Li! Commander Zheng! You two will lead the 2nd and 3rd Special Divisions to defend the Miluo River defense line respectively. Commander Lin will lead the 1st Mixed Division as the reserve division. You must hold on for at least three days."
Li Maoqiang, commander of the 2nd Special Division, suppressed a bitter smile and said, "Commander! We may not be able to hold out for three days against the three Japanese divisions."
Zeng Yun said with a cheerful face: "Maocai! Leisheng! Don't worry, the three Japanese divisions can't attack at the same time, go and deploy quickly."
"Yes!"
Li and Zheng accepted the order reluctantly and walked out of the command post.
Zheng Leisheng reminded softly: "Old Li! The commander gave the 34th Army three days to arrive, otherwise he can't punish them."
"Understood!"
Li Maoqiang suddenly realized.
In the command post, Lin Qiaoer whispered, "Uncle! You have to think carefully. If we really attack Chu Xi, it may lead to a fight between the two armies. We may not be his opponent."
Zeng Yun sneered, "He is my subordinate. If he dares to fight, he is a traitor."
