Chapter 652 Liu Zhengxiong is indeed your lucky general
Sun Xiongcai shook his head and said, "If we run away without resistance, we will both be beheaded. Let's fight!"
The chief of staff nodded helplessly, "Okay! Let's fight."
Sun Xiongcai rolled his eyes and said cunningly: "We will retreat to the southeast while fighting. Killing a few devils will be a great achievement. Oh, right! Call Commander Zeng immediately and ask him to send the 34th Army to cover my division's retreat."
"Great! The 34th Army has just arrived at Huilong Valley."
The chief of staff smiled knowingly and quickly ordered the radio operator,
"Radio operator! Send a message to Commander Zeng immediately, saying that our army was attacked by two Japanese regiments in Jiangjiakou, and the 2th Army has arrived in Huilong Valley. Quickly order the 34th Army to cover our division's breakout."
"Yes!"
The radio operator hurriedly received the order.
At this critical juncture, these two people were still thinking about trapping the 34th Army.
Sun Xiongcai fired a shot at the Japanese soldiers and shouted angrily:
"Brothers! Fight the Japanese soldiers and retreat to the southeast while fighting."
This is equivalent to fighting and escaping, which is much smarter than just running away.
However, most of the soldiers in the 1st Special Division were conscripted men, and they were oppressed by officers. The phenomena of withholding of military pay, beatings and scolding were very serious, and their training and equipment were also very poor.
Under the fierce artillery attack of the Japanese, the resistance and retreat turned into a rout, and the able-bodied soldiers scrambled to escape.
In Miluo City, the 1st Army Headquarters.
Zeng Yun was instructing the three division commanders: "Maoqiang! Leisheng! Qiaoer! The reinforcements haven't arrived yet, you must keep a close eye on the Miluo River. You must not let the Japanese troops cross the river easily, otherwise you will be passive."
At this time, the telecommunications officer reported loudly: "Commander! The 1st Special Division called and said that they were attacked by two Japanese regiments in Jiangjiakou, and the 2th Army has arrived in Huilong Valley. Quickly order the 34th Army to cover their breakout."
Zeng Yun was so angry that he jumped up and down, and said angrily: "What? Didn't we tell them to slow down and wait until the 34th Army was almost done fighting before going over? Really."
Li Maoqiang, commander of the 2nd Special Division, said hurriedly: "Commander! Since the 1st Special Division has made a request, quickly send the 34th Army to rescue them."
Lin Qiaoer said anxiously, "Uncle! The 34th Army must have been surrounded by the Japs' Anan Geometric Brigade. How can they escape?"
Zeng Yun said angrily, "You kid, your personality changes three times a day. Even your uncle can't get used to you. If the 34th Army doesn't go to rescue the 1st Special Division, your 1st Mixed Division should go to rescue it."
Lin Qiaoer sneered and said, "I'm afraid the 1st Special Division has already escaped. If you don't believe me, you can send a telegram to ask them."
Zeng Yun shouted, "Go back to your position. You don't need to worry about what's happening here. Quick! Send a telegram to the 34th Army and have them rush to Jiangjiakou to rescue the 1st Special Division."
"Yes!"
The telecommunications officer hurriedly received the order.
"Old man Zeng! Just keep fighting blindly."
Lin Qiaoer shouted and ran out of the command center.
Zeng Yun suddenly understood in his heart: "This guy turned out to be the little bully Lin Qiaoer. I thought it was the Jinggangshan Lin Qiaoer who liked Chu Xi."
Soon, the telecommunications officer reported loudly: "Commander! The 34th Army called back and said that they were surrounded by heavy troops of Anan Geometric Brigade in Huilong Valley and could not escape. They asked us for reinforcements.
Moreover, according to their intelligence, the 1st Special Division had already collapsed at Jiangjiakou and disappeared without a trace. Even if they were to rescue them, they would not know where to go to save them.
Zeng Yun instinctively roared: "This is simply nonsense! You want me to send him reinforcements? Forget it!"
The communications officer knew what he was thinking and responded, "I understand. Let the 34th Army handle it on its own."
Zeng Yun nodded with satisfaction, turned his gaze to Li Maoqiang, and instructed:
"Maoqiang! You should take the Special 2nd Division to Jiangjiakou to see the Special 1st Division."
Li Maoqiang asked with a smile: "Commander! What if our division leaves the Miluo River and the Japanese cross the river?"
Zeng Yun said disapprovingly: "According to intelligence, the Japanese troops have not yet assembled and will not be able to cross the river until two days later. Go quickly."
"Yes!"
Li Maoqiang hurriedly took the order, turned around and ran out of the command center.
Zheng Leisheng said with a smile: "Commander! If your information is accurate, I would like to invite you to my humble abode tonight to be a witness."
Zeng Yun asked in confusion: "Don't you already have six wives? Why are you getting another one?"
Zheng Leisheng said happily: "I accidentally fell in love with another one here. She is so beautiful. I will make her my eighth concubine."
Zeng Yun nodded and said, "Okay! What time in the evening?"
Zheng Leisheng made a six gesture and said with a smile, "Six o'clock and six minutes."
Zeng Yun smiled and said, "Six six is a good luck! Very good."
At this time, we are in Huilong Valley.
A siege battle was raging in the valley.
An armored vehicle was parked on a high ground somewhere in Huilong Mountain. Two thousand elite commandos were distributed around it, holding submachine guns and light machine guns, closely watching the battlefield situation below.
Xiang Chu stood by the window of the armored vehicle, observing the situation in the valley with a telescope.
Kong Ling and Yu Xiaowan sent and received telegrams to convey combat orders.
Yu Xiaowan said worriedly, "Brother Chu! The Japanese in the valley are too strong. I'm afraid we won't be able to wipe them out in a short time. If we attract the Japanese bombers and heavy artillery, it will be troublesome."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Indeed! The Japanese detachment in the east will surely come back to rescue us soon."
Kong Ling said bitterly: "This Zeng Yun, not only did he not send troops to help us, but he even wanted us to rescue his rubbish 1st Special Division."
Xiang Chu sneered, "As for him! It's good enough that he didn't stab us in the back."
At this time, Zhang Fei's voice came from the radio loudspeaker:
"Commander! A regiment and a battalion of the Japanese defeated the 1st Special Division and are marching towards us."
Xiang Chu picked up the megaphone and responded: "Zhang Fei! You and the 4th Division must hold on. I'm going to use poison gas bombs to kill the Japanese soldiers in Guanggu. Your two divisions are in the downwind direction. Those who have gas masks should put them on, and those who don't have them should move to the upwind direction first."
After he finished speaking, he shouted, "Hongyi! To reduce casualties, fire poison gas bombs at the devils in the valley."
Hongyi responded hastily: "General! We only have less than 2,000 poison gas bombs left. Should we use them all?"
Xiang Chu said without hesitation: "Light them all up!"
Liu Zhengxiong said hurriedly: "General! Last time I seized more than 800 of them by the You River."
Xiang Chu said angrily: "Why don't you hand over the spoils? Fight them all and kill these damn devils."
"Yes!"
Liu Zhengxiong accepted the order with firmness.
Yu Xiaowan smiled and said, "Uncle Liu is still good at hiding things."
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "Fortunately he hid it. These more than 800 poison gas bombs determined the outcome of the battle."
Kong Ling smiled and said, "Fifty thousand of them! Liu Zhengxiong is indeed one of your lucky generals."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Indeed! But Inspector, will we violate any conventions by using poison gas bombs?"
Kong Ling said angrily, "How can you show off! Using the poison gas bombs made by the Japanese themselves to fight against the Japanese, what convention do you violate?"
"Boom! Boom!"
In an instant, hundreds of cannons fired at the same time.
Countless poison gas bombs flew towards Huilong Valley.
The ideal battlefield for Anan's Geometry Brigade to ambush became their burial place.
