Chapter 660 God opens his eyes
The Japanese invaded on a large scale, and the people in northeastern Hunan moved south with their families.
Countless young people joined the 34th Army to fight the Japanese invaders out of hatred for their country and their families.
Yu Xiaowan summarized the personnel information reported by each unit and said with a wry smile, "You two! We now have 92,000 people, and we are short of 32,000 rifles, not to mention ammunition."
Kong Ling was shocked and said, "Oh my God! The gap is so big?"
Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "This is all caused by the 1st Army's nonsense. If I had been in charge earlier, wouldn't these things have happened?"
Kong Ling said angrily, "Fifty thousand! Don't complain. I'll ask my cousin first to see if she can issue us some rifles."
After she finished speaking, she immediately sent the telegram.
Soon, a reply was received via telegram: "All rifles are made in Hanyang, and there are only 5,000 of them, and 100,000 rounds of ammunition. If you want rifles and bullets, you have to reduce the number of mines and land mines."
Xiang Chu hurriedly dissuaded him, "Fifty thousand! Forget it."
Kong Ling said angrily: "No wonder you and your cousin spent your own money to buy weapons. I have the same idea now."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Yeah! I had no choice but to pay for it myself."
Yu Xiaowan reminded them, "Don't worry, let's see how many weapons and ammunition Gan Rong and his men can grab this time."
Kong Ling shook his head and said, "It's just a brigade, how many can there be?"
At this time, the sound of gunfire resounded along the north bank of the Miluo River.
Gan Rong led his troops to pretend to be Doihara Kenji's elite chicken assault team, and the operation to deceive the Ishii Battalion began.
Li Tong led the 3rd Division in pursuit, and gradually the Japanese Ishii Battalion formed a siege.
Needless to say, the Ishii Battalion headed south early, and the last section of the journey was through the mountainous area on the Xiangdong border, so they arrived at Xishan, northeast of Miluo City. Otherwise, they would have met Zhang Fei's 1st Division head-on.
Gan Rong set the radio to the common call sign of the Japanese 11th Army and shouted: "Ishii Battalion! 820 members of Doihara's elite chicken assault team have successfully broken through and are approaching your army. Please respond in time."
The Ishii Battalion called back: "Ishii has received a request from General Doihara, come quickly!"
Needless to say, General Doihara's request was made by Xiang Chu imitating Doihara Xian'er.
Except for the division commanders who attended the meeting in Wuhan, almost no one in the Japanese 11th Army knew that the elite chicken assault team had been completely wiped out.
Under the moonlight, Gan Rong led 820 "fake devils" and rushed into the middle of the Shijing Cavalry Battalion.
Behind them, the 3rd Division and the Elite Assault Division with more than troops followed and quickly surrounded the Ishii Cavalry Battalion.
The Japanese Ishii Cavalry Battalion was a "horse" unit of 1500 men, each with a war horse.
This troop was stationed on an open space under the Xi Mountain. It would be difficult to destroy them if they climbed up the Xi Mountain.
"No wonder they can maneuver so fast! They are all easy-to-maneuver war horses."
Gan Rong thought to himself, and walked towards a Japanese lieutenant colonel who was arranging his troops, and said with a wry smile in a pure Kansai accent:
"Captain Ishii! Thank you for accepting us. The hateful 34th Chinese Army almost surrounded our army."
Seeing that he was a colonel, the Japanese lieutenant colonel was extremely puzzled and asked:
"Colonel! What is your position in the Elite Chicken Assault Team? How come you have so many submachine guns?"
As he spoke, he reached for the pistol at his waist.
"beat!"
Gan Rong roared and shot him dead with one shot.
"Ta-ta-ta! Ta-ta-ta!"
The soldiers of the elite assault division raised their submachine guns and fired fiercely.
In close combat, the submachine gun is the king of guns.
The Japanese soldiers of the Ishii Battalion were focused on guarding against the Chinese army outside, but they didn't know that the people coming in were also Chinese troops.
Moreover, at close range, the submachine gun fire left them with no power to fight back, and they fell to the ground one after another.
However, the Japanese soldiers still had some awareness of defense and responded hastily, and there was a burst of gunfire for a while.
Under the absolute superior firepower of the elite assault division, the Japanese soldiers of Ishii Battalion resisted for more than ten minutes, causing nearly a hundred casualties among the elite assault division soldiers, before they were finally completely wiped out.
Gan Rong was shot several times in the chest. His guard, a new soldier, shouted, "Commander! Hold on, I'll go get the military doctor."
Gan Rong patted his chest and smiled, "It's okay! It just hurts. The bullets were all blocked by the bulletproof vests. Let's take off the Japanese uniforms and clean up the battlefield."
"Yes!"
The guard hurriedly took the order.
The radio operator ran forward, handed him the loudspeaker, and said happily: "Commander! Please report to the commander quickly."
"Well! You are all very clever."
Gan Rong praised, picked up the megaphone and reported loudly:
"Commander! We have annihilated the Ishii Battalion and seized 1500 war horses, as well as a large amount of weapons and ammunition. There are more than 3 carbines, rifles and other guns, more than 3 rounds of bullets, hundreds of Type infantry guns, and tens of thousands of shells."
Xiang Chu responded: "Very good! All weapons and ammunition will be assigned to your elite assault divisions. Except for some horses given to the commanders and fighters of each division, you can keep all the others and build a cavalry regiment."
Gan Rong said happily: "Great! My division has finally taken shape."
Xiang Chu ordered: "Captain Li! Your 3rd Division will be stationed on Xi Mountain first. Be careful to hide. I will use you at a critical moment."
"Yes!"
Li Tong hurriedly accepted the order.
Miluo City, the residence of Xiang Chu.
The radio station with the call sign of the Japanese 11th Army kept ringing.
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "It's probably because the Japanese divisions moved south overnight and surrounded us."
After saying this, he kept transcribing the deciphered message, and was very busy.
Kong Ling said anxiously: "Fifty thousand! Let's let the professional translator receive the message."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Okay! You copy the message, Xiaowan translates it, and I will be responsible for marking the enemy's troop deployment on the military map and finding the flaws of the enemy's troops."
After he finished speaking, he unfolded a large military map.
Three people worked closely together, one person transcribed, one person deciphered, and one person marked.
The atmosphere in the house was tense yet orderly. Soon, a diagram of the enemy and our own troop deployment appeared on the map.
In addition to the five Japanese divisions that attacked southward, the Army Aviation Corps, the Yangtze River Fleet, and the 5st Unit, it was also detected that the Japanese had built a temporary dock north of Longchuan Port on the Xiangjiang River west of Miluo.
Several transport ships loaded with military supplies sailed down the Yangtze River from Wuhan, passed through Dongting Lake and entered the Xiangjiang River, and quietly docked at the temporary wharf north of Longchuan Port to unload.
Xiang Chu was overjoyed and ordered, "Xiao Wan! Send a telegram to the 1st, 2nd, and 4th Divisions, asking them to launch a surprise attack on the Japanese's temporary dock at the north of Longchuan Port on the Xiangjiang River west of Miluo City to empty their supplies."
"Yes!"
Yu Xiaowan hurriedly accepted the order.
Kong Ling clapped her hands and laughed, "Fifty thousand of them! God is really helping our 34th Army."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Yes! God has helped us to survive for another month."
Kong Ling said angrily: "We are now like a person with sharp eyes fighting a blind person. It will be hard for us not to win."
Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "Fifty thousand! Don't be too happy too soon. The Japs are always smart and cunning. I believe it won't be long before they discover the telegram leak and change the telegram code book."
After Yu Xiaowan sent the message, she smiled and said, "Brother Chu! If we can get the Japanese equipment at the temporary dock, I think we will have all the equipment for our nine divisions."
Xiang Chu said with a smile: "If they are all canned food, then your uncle Liu will be assigned as a canner."
"Get lost!"
Yu Xiaowan cursed and laughed as she punched him.
Xiang Chu grabbed her hands, touched her arms, and reminded her: "Xiao Wan! Be careful with your sleeve arrows, don't accidentally murder your husband."
Yu Xiaowan smiled and said, "Don't worry! It's safe. Even if you get hit, I have the antidote."
