Chapter 691: The 34th Army Must Be Blamed
The slap in the face came so quickly that it made people want to laugh.
Commander Lin and Chen Guo and their ilk wished they could find a hole to hide in.
Minister He joked: "Director Ma! You always surprise people."
"Where is it?"
Ma Chunfang said seriously, turning to the next page of the telegram and continued reading,
"Chairman Cheng of the Hunan Provincial Government called and said that the Chief of Staff of the 81st Army was shot dead by Wu Xing without any fault, and the 91st Army forced 3 able-bodied men to go to the battlefield without any training. I hope the higher-ups can take care of the new 1st Army."
Minister Chen sighed and said, "Oh! We should really agree to the 34th Army's request to allocate funds or purchase ammunition."
Minister He nodded and said, "This new 1st Army has spent ten times more money than the 34th Army. Can its combat performance be ten times that of the 34th Army?"
They still have no say and can only complain.
Everyone was silent, even Chen Guo and others were silent.
Wu Xing was a general and had 15 troops under his command.
If he is pushed too far, there is no guarantee that he will not rebel.
These major events still need to be decided by important people.
On the north bank of the Xiangjiang River, the tent of Xiang Chu and his two companions.
Xiang Chu handed the two baked glutinous rice cakes to Kong Ling and Yu Xiaowan respectively, and said with a smile:
"After dinner tonight, go to bed early."
Kong Ling took the glutinous rice cake, took a bite, and asked in confusion: "Her father! We are out of ammunition for our American equipment, so we are not out of food either."
Xiang Chu pointed to the Xiang River and said, "There are still fish in the river, and there is still a lot of game in the mountains."
"Ah? No more food."
Kong Ling and Yu Xiaowan exclaimed.
Yu Xiaowan brought the glutinous rice cake to Xiang Chu's mouth and said with tears in her eyes:
"Brother Chu, you eat. Xiaowan is not hungry."
Kong Ling hurriedly stuffed the glutinous rice cake to Xiang Chu and said anxiously:
"Her father! I'm not hungry either, you eat."
Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "You two can eat, I'm not hungry either."
Yu Xiaowan threw herself into his arms and cried, "Brother Chu! We are out of food. The troops will be dispersed. What should we do? Wuuwu!"
Xiang Chu patted her shoulders and said with a smile, "Not yet! Zhang Fei's 1st Division distributed half of the food stored by the Japanese in Yueyang to the people, and brought back the rest. It can last for more than ten days."
"Really?"
Kong Ling and Yu Xiaowan said in disbelief.
Xiang Chu gave them the glutinous rice cakes and said with a smile:
"Really? Eat it quickly. There's still a lot in these ashes."
After saying this, he used tongs to pull out three glutinous rice cakes one after another.
"Good for you! Earning Xiaowan's sympathetic tears."
Yu Xiaowan cried, made a fuss, and laughed, making a mess with him.
At this time, the radio transmission sounded.
"You really deserve to be beaten!"
Kong Ling shouted, punched Xiang Chu hard, and went to copy it.
This is a plain text message, sent by Kenji Doihara.
She handed the telegram to Xiang Chu and said happily, "Her father! Doihara Xian'er is willing to exchange his Guanfang seal and the flag of the elite Ji Tu team for one million yen. This time, I will be honest and fair. Are you willing?"
Xiang Chu said without hesitation: "Of course I am willing! What we lack most is money. Ask him how to trade."
Kong Ling replied hastily, angrily: "You stinky man! You must hold on. Don't use this money to buy ammunition. Those old men in Chongqing must be holding on too. If we still pay for it ourselves, they will never care about our lives again."
Needless to say, she had already seen through Xiang Chu's thoughts.
Yu Xiaowan grabbed his neck and said solemnly:
"Brother Chu! Sister Kong is right. Stop spending money recklessly."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "I know. I'll listen to you two this time."
Not long after, Doihara Xian'er sent a clear text message: "Chu Xi! This general respects you and will send one person with one million yen to the top of Yuelu Mountain in Changsha to exchange the Guanfang seal and the flag of the Elite Chicken Raiders with your people. The specific time will be notified separately. General Doihara!"
Xiang Chu replied with a one-word message: "OK!"
Yu Xiaowan said with some regret: "I am unwilling to give the seal and military flag that I snatched with great difficulty to Doihara Ken'er."
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "Give it to him first, maybe we can get it back."
"It's just nonsense!"
Yu Xiaowan and Kong Ling shouted loudly.
The next morning, the 34th Army began to cross the Xiangjiang River Bridge.
Xiang Chu rationally deployed the garrisons of each division, led his own elite assault division into the city, and took a shortcut to Yuelu Mountain.
Kong Ling asked in confusion: "Her father! The Changsha Wenxi Fire burned down the city, where is there any place to live?"
Xiang Chu said without hesitation: "We live in Yuelu Mountain, and Yuelu Book House must not be on fire."
Yu Xiaowan looked at the burned pavilions, gardens and buildings and couldn't help asking, "Brother Chu! Was Changsha beautiful before the fire?"
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Yes! If there hadn't been the Wenxi Fire, Changsha would have been the Jiangnan of my dreams."
Kong Ling asked with a smile: "How is it beautiful?"
Xiang Chu said thoughtfully: "Changsha is full of ancient monuments that have lasted for thousands of years, densely covered with gardens, pavilions and towers dotted among the lakes, mountains and rivers, it is so beautiful!"
At this time, Gan Rong shouted: "Commander! The 1st Army of the New 1st Group Army is blocking our way. Their commander Wu Yin will not let us enter the city to station, and even asked where you are?"
Xiang Chu thought for a moment and replied, "Just say we are going to camp at the foot of Yuelu Mountain and that I am going to Anlong in Qiandi."
"Yes!"
Gan Rong hurriedly accepted the order.
Kong Ling said angrily: "Why is Wu Xing still hanging around in Changsha instead of going to the front lines to fight?"
Yu Xiaowan said angrily, "That's right! He doesn't care where we are stationed. Changsha is not his home."
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "He is waiting for me to come over! Let's see what tricks he wants to play."
Soon, Gan Rong continued to shout: "Commander! They want to borrow our heavy artillery and tanks to fight on the front line."
Kong Ling angrily said: "How shameless!"
Xiang Chu responded: "Tell them that there are still two German 88mm heavy guns, but they don't have a single shell, and there are still three tanks left, but they don't have any shells either."
Kong Ling ordered: "Commander Gan! Tell him that we are entering Changsha for rest and recuperation under the order of the Supreme Command. Charge forward with submachine guns. If he dares to stop us, just shoot him to death."
"Yes!"
Gan Rong accepted the order with firmness.
Xiang Chu praised: "Madam is still so domineering!"
Kong Ling said bitterly: "What kind of background do they have to dare to make things so difficult for us?"
Her stubbornness worked, and the blocking troops of the 1st Army of the New 1st Group Army gave way.
The elite commando team continued to move forward, bypassed a corner of Changsha, and camped at the foot of Yuelu Mountain.
At this time, the radio station with the call sign of the Japanese 11th Army rang.
Yu Xiaowan hurriedly copied and translated the message, shaking her head and saying, "Brother Chu! The Japanese Kyushu Division reported to Okamura Ningchi that their division has occupied Yueyang City again and is preparing to move south to Miluo."
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "The Japanese army is approaching. Let's see when Wu Xing will go north."
Tianxin Pavilion and patio stage.
Wu Xing was watching the show in the audience.
Lai Dexing rushed over and said anxiously, "Cousin! The Japanese Kyushu Division has occupied Yueyang and is preparing to move south to Miluo. Should we move north immediately?"
Wu Xing instinctively passed the buck: "Where is the 34th Army? Why didn't they evacuate Yueyang before our troops arrived?"
Ryder Star smiled mysteriously and said, "We put the blame on the 34th Army?"
Wu Xing said without hesitation: "Of course! We must blame the 34th Army."
Wu Yin smiled and asked, "Brother! Shall we march forward?"
Wu Xing shook his head and said, "No need! Send Hua Jinyun to lead the 3rd Army to block it first."
