Chapter 669: Unfair Decision
A gap appeared in the north, and the Japanese Sendai Division fled northward in a hurry.
Being besieged by so many troops, the Japanese soldiers only wished their parents had given them a few more legs. Who would follow Taro Asano's order to destroy their weapons and equipment?
Asano Taro was so angry that he yelled: "Baga! Why don't you destroy the equipment?"
His aide advised: "Your Excellency, the division commander! The five divisions of the 34th Chinese Army are following us, so you'd better leave quickly."
Asano Taro nodded and said, "Let's go! Even if these equipment fall into the hands of Chinese soldiers, they are as stupid as Doihara and will not be able to use them."
He even found a more appropriate reason for abandoning his weapon and running away.
He also happily insulted Doihara Kan'ei and felt very relieved.
Gupei Town, 34th Army Command Post.
Xiang Chu was worried about the heavy weapons and equipment he had abandoned.
Zhang Linmao has led the 6th Division to transport light weapons and equipment on the battlefield across the river.
However, a large number of heavy tanks, trucks, heavy artillery, etc. could not cross the river.
Xiang Chu picked up the megaphone and ordered: "Hongyi! Ask the old boatmen or fishermen on the Miluo River which section of the river has the lowest water level and can transport the heavy equipment abandoned by the devils across the river."
Hongyi responded: "Commander! Let's use the boats to form a floating bridge. The people on both sides of the Miluo River gave us their boats to support the war."
Xiang Chu said excitedly: "That's great! Thank you so much, people."
Yu Xiaowan sighed: "Brother Chu! This is a people's war."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Yes! Victory will definitely belong to China!"
"Victory will definitely belong to China!"
Kong Ling agreed, sat down in front of the radio, and said with a smile,
"Fifty thousand! I reported to the higher-ups that our army had annihilated most of the Japanese Sendai Division and seized countless weapons and equipment. A small number of Japanese used poison gas bombs to create a gap and desperately fled north.
Currently, five elite divisions of our army are following and pursuing them, and we must annihilate them all."
Xiang Chu praised: "Well! The report is very good."
"To appease Minister Chen and those old men who sit and talk all day long."
Kong Ling said happily and quickly sent the above telegram.
Soon, she received a reply to the telegram.
"34th Army! Your army has achieved brilliant results in this battle, far exceeding the expectations of the Supreme Command. The entire army will be commended for this. We hope you will continue to work hard and make new achievements!"
After reading the telegram, Xiang Chu said with a sense of relief:
"It doesn't matter if you commend me, just don't find fault with me."
There was still fierce gunfire coming from the north, and it was a sleepless night.
The arrogant and domineering Japanese Type A Division never expected to be chased and beaten.
Five elite divisions chased the Japanese Sendai Division all the way. The sound of gunfire rang out all the way, and the road was full of Japanese corpses and abandoned weapons and equipment.
Only when they reached the outskirts of Yueyang did Xiang Chu issue an order: "All divisions stop pursuing, return to the south bank of the Miluo River to rest and prepare for a bigger battle."
Liu Zhengxiong sent a telegram requesting: "Commander! How about we rehabilitate Yueyang?"
Xiang Chu said angrily: "Guangfu, you are defending? Retreat quickly, otherwise you will be surrounded."
"Yes!"
Liu Zhengxiong accepted the order reluctantly.
In Dongting Lake, the medium-sized transport ship Kamakura.
Doihara Kan'ei and Okamura Yasuaki, along with their entourage, finally boarded the larger warship from the small motorboat.
The captain was waiting at the side of the ship, and shouted respectfully: "Commander Okamura! Vice Admiral Doihara! Captain Yamanaka of the Kamakura transport ship..."
When Doihara heard him calling him Vice Admiral, he immediately interrupted him and shouted, "Don't introduce yourself, just call me Captain Fat Tiger. Go! Clean up your captain's room. This Admiral wants to sleep with Commander Okamura."
Okamura Ningchi was simply annoyed and waved his hand, saying, "No! Please arrange another room for this commander."
Doihara Xian'er said angrily, "Commander Okamura! I want to imitate Liu Bei and Guan Yu in the Three Kingdoms, sleep in the same bed with you, and talk all night long. Wouldn't that be very happy?"
Okamura Ningchi said with relief: "I see! But Liu, Guan and Zhang slept in one bed, and now we are missing one person, which doesn't seem to meet the requirements."
Doihara Xian'er said helplessly: "Well! We are indeed missing one person. It would be great if the director of the Shadow Bureau was here. His reckless character is very suitable for Zhang Fei."
Okamura Ningchi cursed in his heart: "How come you think Ying Jiji looks like Zhang Fei? But you look a lot like him."
At this time, the accompanying signalman received a telegram and reported loudly:
"Commander! Commander Asano of the Sendai Division called and said they have successfully broken out to the north and are moving towards Yueyang."
Okamura Ningchi said bitterly: "Baga! It's obvious that we were defeated, but they still say that we have successfully broken through. Can't we hold on for one day? A large number of the empire's troops are about to reach the Miluo River."
Doihara Kenji hurriedly said, "Commander Okamura! Why don't you ask Asano how many people are left in the Sendai Division?"
Okamura Ningchi was furious and shouted, "Doihara-kun! Are you so curious? Ask it yourself. Signalman! Immediately notify all divisions to speed up to Miluo City. We must annihilate the 34th Chinese Army in one fell swoop."
"Hello!"
The Japanese signalman hurriedly received the order.
Okamura Ningchi walked into the captain's room angrily.
Doihara Xian'er walked into the next door helplessly and ordered: "Ji Qiu! Send a telegram to the Sendai Division in the name of Okamura Ningchi and ask them how many people are left."
"Hello!"
Yamashita Yoshiaki hurriedly accepted the order.
After a long time, I received a reply: "Commander! My troops have withdrawn to the south of Yueyang, and only a small number of people are left. Asano Taro!"
Doihara Ken'er opened the porthole, looked at the pale sky, and shook his head, saying, "It seems that Asano Taro's Sendai Division has also been annihilated by the 34th Army."
Takahashi Taisho nodded and said, "General! It seems that Chu Xi's troops are a hedgehog army. Whoever provokes them will be in big trouble."
Doihara Xian'er slapped his forehead and said in annoyance, "What a bad decision! What a bad decision! Why didn't I find out the whole story of Chu Xi?"
Takahashi Taisho said with a smile: "General! There is no need to find out Chu Xi's situation. Taisho heard from Ono Chika that Commander Okamura had asked the country to quickly send Xiaolu Shisanlang, who won the Olympic fixed target shooting championship,
As well as Daxiong Xiaozheng, who won the second place in the Olympic moving target shooting, and Zuobei Zuojuro, the king of shooting in the army, rushed to the Miluo front to snipe Chu Xi. "
Doihara Xian'er said with longing: "Yoshi! The Olympic champion and runner-up and the shooting king have come to the front line together. They will definitely be able to kill Zhina Chuxi together."
Yamashita Yoshiaki shook his head and said, "Taisho! I think sending assassins to kill Chu Xi is not in line with the empire's Bushido spirit, and it's a bit unfair."
Takahashi Taisho angrily shouted, "Yiqiu! You are speaking for the evil Chu Xi. General! Doihara Yoshiqiu should be executed on the spot."
Doihara Xian'er glared at him and said loudly, "No! Ji Qiu is absolutely right. The Empire has sent so many divisions to besiege the 34th Army. There is no need to send assassins. This general also despises Okamura Ning's skinny monkey and opposes his decision to win unfairly."
"Fat pig! Keep your voice down."
Okamura Ningchi was roaring loudly next door.
