Chapter 674: A bunch of trash came
Yuchi Mountain is 90 kilometers north of Yueyang and more than 40 kilometers south of Changsha.
The mountains are undulating, with an average altitude of 500 meters, and the main peak, Damo Ridge, is 777 meters.
Xiang Chu moved his command post to a hidden cave in the mountains, next to a small lake.
Yu Xiaowan praised: "Brother Chu! Is Yuchi Mountain named after the pond?"
Xiang Chu pointed at the small lake and said, "It is said that the Queen Mother once bathed in this clear pool, so the whole mountain was called Yuchi Mountain. Let's bathe here too, maybe we can become immortals."
Kong Ling said angrily, "Get lost! The pool where the Queen Mother bathes is at the top of the mountain."
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "Fifty thousand! You are quite knowledgeable."
Kong Ling said worriedly: "Her father! You are still laughing. The three people in the military inspection team have powerful backgrounds behind them. They will not let it go."
Xiang Chu said disapprovingly: "What are you afraid of? No matter how big your background is, it's bigger than you and Sister Xi's."
Kong Ling said angrily: "You are right. If anyone dares to touch you, I will cry, make a scene, and even hang myself."
Xiang Chu instigated, "Well! Bring 50,000 to his house and make a scene, and make the whole family restless."
Yu Xiaowan said angrily, "What a shame! You have 100,000 elite soldiers under your command, and you still need the protection of your two sisters?"
At this time, the radio transmission sounded at the entrance of the cave.
Xiang Chu patted her shoulders and said with a smile, "Lady! We can't do anything that forces us to do something stupid. Please go and receive the telegram."
"No!"
Yu Xiaowan shouted, dubiously transcribing the message, and handed it to him, saying happily,
"You two! The boss said that Okamura Ningchi sent a clear message to the Supreme Command, showing off that he had assassinated three of our generals, which was equivalent to helping us clarify the facts.
Now that our superiors are not holding us accountable, they have asked our army to leave two main divisions in Yuchi Mountain in case of emergency, and the rest of the troops will go to Changsha for rest and recuperation.
The Miluo defense line was transferred to the three related parties, namely Li Mi's 71st Army, Chen Shuo's 81st Army, and Wu Huahu's 91st Army. "
After reading the telegram, Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't expect that Okamura Ningchi is as silly and cute as Doihara Xian'er."
Kong Ling clapped his hands and laughed, "Great! Let their three armies fight the devils, and we can go to Changsha to rest."
Yu Xiaowan suggested: "Brother Chu! The troops on the front line should retreat quickly and leave the 1st and 2nd Divisions in Yuchi Mountain."
Xiang Chu walked into the command post, spread out the map, and said thoughtfully: "If our army retreats, the 71st Army, 81st Army, and 91st Army can enter our position in time."
Kong Ling said angrily: "Her father! Don't be so wishful. The commanders of these three armies are so arrogant that they definitely look down on the position of our 3th Army. Let's withdraw!"
Yu Xiaowan reminded him, "Brother Chu! The Supreme Command asked us to hold on to Miluo for a month. Now asking us to retreat is equivalent to relieving our mission."
"If we withdraw, can their three armies stop us?"
Xiang Chu frowned, still a little hesitant in the face of national justice.
Song Xi hadn't finished sending the message when the radio rang again.
Yu Xiaowan copied the deciphered message and said angrily, "You two! The boss said that according to the intelligence obtained by the Military Intelligence Bureau, the assassins that Okamura Ningchi applied for from China are Xiaolu Shisanlang, the Olympic fixed target shooting champion of the Japanese country, Daxiong Xiaozheng, the Olympic moving target shooting runner-up, and Zuobei Zuojulang, the king of shooting in the army. These three are all top shooters."
Kong Ling said bitterly: "This Okamura Ningchi, when he couldn't win, he resorted to assassination. Does he have any shame?"
Xiang Chu sneered, "The Japs are like beasts when they fight. They have no shame at all. These three assassins must be killed, otherwise they will cause great trouble to our army."
Yu Xiaowan smiled and said, "Why not spread false news and say that their assassination was successful? That would be a good excuse for our retreat."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Okay! Just say that your uncle Liu and three other generals were assassinated."
Yu Xiaowan said angrily, "Just keep teasing Uncle Liu all day long."
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "He is a lucky general, what is he afraid of? Do we really want to retreat?"
At this time, the 34th Army Radio Station broadcast a message.
Kong Ling hurriedly copied and translated the message, sneering:
"Look! Li Mi, commander of the 71st Army, on behalf of the 81st and 91st Armies, ordered our troops to get out of the front line immediately."
Xiang Chu took the telegram and read it, then shook his head and said, "You really don't know your own weight, Xiaowan! I'm talking about the withdrawal plan, please write it down."
Yu Xiaowan picked up the paper and pen and said with a smile: "The Chief of Staff is ready, go ahead!"
Xiang Chu picked up the pointer in a serious manner, pointed at the map and said: "The 1st Division and the 4th Division retreated to the Goose Shape Mountain. The 2nd Division has tanks and the Special Mixed Division has heavy artillery, but they are not easy to maneuver, so they and the Elite Assault Division will all stay in Yuchi Mountain.
The 3rd and 5th Divisions had cavalry regiments and moved quickly, retreating to Black Elk Peak. The main force formed a triangle support. The 6th, 7th, and 8th three new recruit divisions retreated to between the south of Black Elk Peak and the north of the Xiangjiang River, ready to go north to fight at any time. "
Kong Ling said anxiously: "Her father! It is unreasonable for us not to send a single division to Changsha."
Xiang Chu thought for a moment and said, "Zhang Linmao's 6th Division will enter Changsha to recruit soldiers and show the fine style of our army."
Kong Ling nodded and said, "Yes! This is very good."
Yu Xiaowan smiled and said, "Brother Chu! It seems that you are retreating to advance and want to fight a bigger battle."
Xiang Chu said helplessly: "I know that the 71st, 81st, and 91st armies cannot be stopped. Make plans in advance and send a telegram quickly. In addition, deliberately spread the news that Lao Liu and other three generals were assassinated, so that our army will retreat."
"Yeah! Uncle Liu will definitely go crazy."
Yu Xiaowan gladly accepted the order and quickly sent a telegram.
Not long after, Liu Zhengxiong sent a telegram: "Boy! I also spread the news that you were assassinated."
Xiang Chu ordered: "Xiao Wan! Tell him not to go to Dalian anymore."
Yu Xiaowan shouted, "That's enough! Stop messing around and go play in the lake with me and Sister Kong."
After receiving Xiang Chu's order, the troops of the 34th Army immediately moved their positions.
The news of the action of 100,000 people naturally reached the ears of Doihara Ken'er, who had spies everywhere.
Doihara Kan'ei was using a telescope at the bow of the Kamakura to observe the situation on the south bank of Dongting Lake.
Yamashita Yoshiaki ran to the bow and said happily: "General! According to the report from the bamboo spy, the 34th Army has retreated collectively because of the loss of three generals."
Doihara Xian'er asked in confusion, "Retreat? Who will take over the defense?"
Yamashita Yoshiaki opened the telegram and said with a smile: "The 71st, 81st and 91st Chinese Armies will replace the 34th Army. The position south of Dongting Lake is the 91st Army, and its commander is Wu Huahu."
Doihara Xian'er said excitedly: "Yoshi! I will kill this Wu Huahu and beat him into a sickly little cat."
Takahashi Taisho returned to the transport ship by motorboat, bringing with him a major.
The major saluted Doihara Kan'ei respectfully and reported:
"General! Lin Yixiaquan was personally assigned by Commander Okamura to lead a large group of troops here to accept your command."
Doihara Xian'er looked at the short and fierce-looking major and said with satisfaction, "Yoshi! Linxia-kun is a very talented person. I wonder how your brigade is configured?"
Lin Xiayi said in a clear voice: "Reply to the General! The Linxia Battalion is over-equipped and over-standard, with a total of 1500 people, four Type 18 infantry guns, 72 heavy machine guns and grenade launchers. The firepower is comparable to that of the Chinese Infantry Division."
Doihara Xian'er frowned and waved his hand, saying, "No! I will give you four Type 20 infantry guns, 50 heavy machine guns, and grenade launchers. You must destroy the entire Chinese army."
Lin Xiaquan said in disbelief: "Destroy a Chinese army?"
Doihara Ken'er waved his hand and said, "Don't worry! The 34th Army has already retreated. The ones coming here are just a bunch of rubbish."
At this time, the captain "Fat Tiger" ran to the bow and reported loudly: "Your Excellency the Admiral! Commander Okamura knows that you have stolen his..."
"Bang!" There was a sound.
Doihara Ken'er punched Fat Tiger unconscious and shouted:
"Taishō! Jiqiu! Drag Fat Tiger down to sober up. Once he wakes up, order him to dock the ship immediately. I will lead the army to the battle myself."
"Hello!"
Takahashi Taisho and Yamashita Yoshiaki hurriedly received the order.
