Chapter 659: The Japs Will Be Fooled
"Yoshi! General Doihara fell beautifully."
The Japanese division commanders laughed at Doihara Kenji with glee.
Doihara Kenji stood up with a somersault and shouted angrily:
"Baga! What are you laughing at! Chu Xi sent three divisions north to dig roads, break bridges, release water, and burn mountains. Northern Hunan is already a swamp, and your troops can't move forward."
Okamura Ningchi stopped laughing and said disapprovingly: "Doihara-kun! With only the three divisions under Chu Xi, it is far from achieving the effect you mentioned."
Doihara Kenji said bitterly: "All the Chinese people in northern Hunan should cooperate with them. Do you think we have enough people?"
Okamura Ningchi shouted angrily, "Doihara Xian'er! It's all because of you. You have to wait for half a day, otherwise this commander would have arrived at the Miluo River."
Doihara Kan'er maintained his gentlemanly demeanor and said politely, "Commander! This is indeed not my fault. I have already established a bridgehead on the south bank of the Miluo River. Unfortunately, the divisions failed to arrive in time, resulting in failure and causing heavy losses to my elite Ji Tuo team."
Abe Nobuyuki sneered: "You didn't suffer heavy losses, but your entire army was annihilated!"
Doihara Kan'er pointed at him and shouted angrily: "I have never seen such a shameless person. May I ask if your division suffered heavy losses or was it completely wiped out?"
Abe Nobuyuki stood up angrily, pointing at Doihara Ken'er and yelling, "Baka! Your information must be false. Shohoku has not been sabotaged at all."
Doihara Kenji took the opportunity to sit in his seat, picked up the teacup and started drinking it happily.
"shameless!"
Abe Nobuyuki was so angry that he couldn't speak.
Okamura Ningchi took a look and calmly ordered: "Major General Takeda! Army aviation planes take off and bomb Miluo City. Show Chu Xi a lesson!"
Major General Takeda smiled bitterly and said, "Commander! It's rainy and foggy in Xiangbei, and the bombers can't take off. Take off immediately when the weather improves."
"All right!"
Okamura Ningchi said helplessly. Seeing that Doihara Ken'er pretended to close his eyes to rest, he ordered, "Gentlemen! Doihara Ken'er's intelligence has always been inaccurate. All divisions should rush to Miluo River and encircle the 34th Chinese Army. Try to wipe it off the face of the earth within a week."
"Hello!"
The commanders of the Japanese divisions responded with loud voices.
This was clearly a display of contempt and provocation towards Doihara Kan'ei.
Doihara Ken'er said sarcastically, "If you don't listen to me, you will suffer! Gentlemen! Have a safe journey."
The Japanese division commanders were so angry that their noses were crooked, and they all glared at the smug Doihara Kenji with hatred and fierceness.
Okamura Ningchi waved his hands and said, "This is unreasonable! Let's adjourn the meeting."
Doihara Ken'er said in a veiled manner, "Gentlemen! You should listen to my advice and abandon the land route and take the sea route."
"No!"
The Japanese division commanders roared in unison.
Doihara Xian'er said coldly: "I am waiting for your good news at the headquarters!"
Okamura Ningchi couldn't help but shook his head and said, "He is really the number one troublemaker in our army."
Miluo City, the residence of Xiang Chu.
It was not until the evening that Xiang Chu returned to his residence.
Kong Ling said angrily, "You haven't been home all day. My sister Xiaowan and I thought you ran away."
Xiang Chu took her into his arms and said jokingly, "Well! I really had the thought of running away, but when I thought of my two beautiful wives, I hurried back."
"Get lost!"
Kong Ling and Yu Xiaowan laughed and scolded.
Kong Ling saw that his shoes were covered with mud, so she asked with a smile, "Your shoes are covered with a lot of mud. Did you go to the lake or the mountain?"
Xiang Chu let her go and said with a smile, "They are all gone! We will move to Damo Ridge in Yuchi Mountain in the south someday."
"Change your shoes!"
Kong Ling took out a pair of new shoes, squatted down to change them for him, nodded, and said,
"It's time to move. If it weren't for the fog and rain today, the Japanese bombers would have definitely bombed Miluo City."
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "But we still have to retreat slowly, otherwise we will be considered as passively avoiding the battle. Oh, right! Ask Sister Xi to get some land mines and sea mines quickly. I have great use for them."
Kong Ling smiled and said, "My cousin and I have already applied for it. Landmines and sea mines are not important weapons. There are many in Chongqing's arsenal. We have also applied for some guns and ammunition, which will be transported to Changsha through our airline. We will send someone to pick them up tomorrow morning."
Xiang Chu praised: "She is really my good wife!"
Kong Ling shook his head and said, "The Japanese have five divisions, the Army Aviation Corps, the Yangtze River Fleet, and Unit 5. Even if we lay more mines and land mines, it will be useless."
Xiang Chu asked in confusion: "Hey! How did you two get this information?"
Yu Xiaowan took out a code book and handed it to him, saying with a smile: "Uncle Liu seized the code book of Doihara Xian'er's elite chicken assault team, which turned out to be the latest code book currently in use by the 11th Army."
Xiang Chu took it and said happily, "Great! Lao Liu is really a timely help."
Yu Xiaowan asked with a smile: "Brother Chu! You promoted Ye Shian to division commander, and Gan Rong is still the captain of the elite commando team. This is not a good idea."
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "Don't worry! I have expanded the elite assault team into an elite assault division."
"Elite Assault Division?"
Yu Xiaowan and Kong Ling exclaimed.
Xiang Chu sat in front of a row of radios, set the radio knobs to different frequencies, and said with a smile: "I want to imitate the German Skeleton Division and build our elite division."
Yu Xiaowan said angrily: "Your idea is good, but now we can't even have one rifle per soldier."
Kong Ling reminded: "Fifty thousand her father! We have discussed that you can't spend the family's money anymore. After all, this war is a protracted war."
Xiang Chu raised the code book in his hand, smiled mysteriously and said: "Don't worry! I won't spend it. With this code book, I can use the equipment I robbed from the devils to arm our troops."
At this time, a radio station with the call sign of the 11th Army Headquarters received a transmission.
Xiang Chu hurriedly copied and translated the message, handed it to Kong Ling, and said with a smile:
"Fifty thousand! This Ishii Cavalry Brigade has intruded into the vicinity of Xishan Mountain and got stuck in a deadly quagmire. Isn't that the equivalent of sending us equipment?"
Kong Ling said excitedly: "Her father! Quickly issue an annihilation order and fire 500 rounds of poison gas bombs to kill these damn devils."
Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "We don't have many poison gas bombs left. We need to use them sparingly. Besides, these devils must be wearing gas masks. I will have the Gan Rong Elite Assault Division send people to pretend to be Doihara Xian'er's Elite Chicken Assault Division, get close to the devil's Ishii Battalion, and wipe them out in one fell swoop when they are unprepared."
After he finished speaking, he picked up the megaphone and shouted, "Commander Gan! Come over here for a moment."
"Yes!"
Gan Rong hurriedly accepted the order.
His division was the Imperial Guards Division, and they lived nearby, so they quickly arrived at Xiang Chu's residence.
Xiang Chu explained everything to him in detail and warned him, "Lao Gan! If the Japanese troops don't fall for it, retreat immediately and the main force will attack them later."
Gan Rong smiled and said, "Commander! Your plan is so detailed, there is no way this stupid Japanese brigade will not be fooled."
Yu Xiaowan suggested: "Brother Chu! Why not send the 3rd Division to chase the elite assault division in? This way the performance will be more realistic."
Xiang Chu said happily: "Yes! The Chief of Staff's suggestion is very good. It is equivalent to a two-pronged approach. The Japanese will definitely be fooled."
