Chapter 709 Tailor-made for the Japs

Today, the battle between the 34th Army and the Japanese 11th Army is the focus of attention.

Everyone above wants to take command and show off their military talent.

Minister He knew it very well, and asked Ma Chunfang with a smile:

"Director Ma! Do you have any more messages from the 34th Army?"

"Have!"

Ma Chunfang nodded and turned to the telegram below and read:

"The 34th Army made a brilliant turn during its retreat, annihilating a battalion of Japanese troops in the Lianyue Valley of Yuchi Mountain and a squadron of Japanese troops in Laohuaishu Village south of Exing Mountain.

In the town of Liulin, south of Heimi Peak, we annihilated a cavalry brigade of the Japanese, and three reconnaissance companies sniped and killed 3 Japanese officers including major generals, colonels, and lieutenant colonels in the rear..."

She read out more than a dozen telegrams, and the combined results shocked the conference room.

Minister Chen couldn't help but say: "This is not a retreat, it's clearly a retreat to advance."

Minister He nodded and said, "It seems that Chairman Cheng of Xiangdi and the people have misunderstood the 34th Army."

Zhang Zhong praised, "Chu Xi is fighting a mobile war and knows the enemy situation very well. She is really not simple."

Many senior officials were talking about this, and perhaps they were afraid of following Chen Guo's footsteps, so this time they mostly praised the 34th Army and did not dare to make random accusations.

Ma Chunfang struck while the iron was hot and said with a smile: "Commanders! We also received the plaintext conversation between Okamura Ningchi and Chu Xi. We think it's quite interesting. Would you like to read it?"

"Read it quickly!"

Everyone said in unison.

Ma Chunfang sorted out his words and read out vividly:

"Ningji Okamura cursed Chu Xi for destroying many of his troops, sniping many officers, and running away after the fight, which was a lack of martial ethics.

Chu Xi said that she was sliding back to make more space for him so that she could bury the Japanese soldiers. If they were not convinced, they could come up and fight.

Okamura Ningchi was furious and wanted to fight Chu Xi with a hundred thousand men against a hundred thousand men, and he would tear him into pieces. "

Everyone listened with great interest and couldn't help laughing.

Minister Chen asked curiously: "Did Chu Xi agree?"

Ma Chunfang nodded and said, "Chu Xi certainly agreed, but Okamura Ningchi regretted it again."

"It's really worthless!"

"Coward! Haha!"

Everyone laughed.

Inspector Jiang walked out of the inner room and ordered:

"Director Ma! Call Chu Xi and ask him to continue inviting Okamura Ningchi to a hand-to-hand fight, and take the opportunity to humiliate the Japanese's Bushido spirit."

"Yes!"

Ma Chunfang hurriedly accepted the order.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment and even tried to provoke each other.

Inspector Jiang placed a piece of order in front of Minister He, which read: "Order the 34th Army to retreat to the Xiangjiang River line and counterattack after the three Japanese divisions of Kumamoto, Kyushu and Hokkaido approach. This battle can only be won and not lost.

The troops in western Hubei and northern Jiangxi took the opportunity to attack and harass key areas such as Wuhan and Nanchang to support the 34th Army in its operations.

North of Yuelu Mountain, 34th Army Command Post.

Xiang Chu and his two companions returned here again with the elite assault division.

The 10th Division had 24 German 88mm guns and 50 anti-aircraft machine guns deployed around the area.

Another 50 anti-aircraft machine guns have been distributed to each division, enabling each division to have a certain ability to conduct air defense operations and quickly destroy enemy armored vehicles.

The command post was filled with radio stations, and a squad of female radio operators was responsible for receiving and deciphering telegrams.

All the front-line intelligence was gathered here, allowing Xiang Chu to fully grasp the battlefield dynamics.

Xiang Chu marked the enemy and our own military forces on the map, making the enemy and our own situation clear at a glance.

Yu Xiaowan summarized the telegrams and said angrily, "Brother Chu! The three divisions of the Japanese army marched south in three different directions, burning, killing, looting, and leaving no one alive. They are truly a group of beasts worse than pigs and dogs."

Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "You will suffer for your own sins! We must destroy these devils immediately."

Kong Ling reminded: "Her father! The Supreme Command ordered our army to counterattack after the Japanese approached the Xiangjiang River, and try not to act in advance."

Xiang Chu nodded and said, "I know! But I won't choose that kind of rigid frontal position tactics. I want to show Okamura Ningchi the roundabout tactics that the Japanese army is best at and has been written into military textbooks."

Kong Ling said angrily, "My man! Don't mess this up. We can only win this battle, not lose. Otherwise, we will be punished by military law."

Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "Those generals who are always defeated are still at large. Why are they making things difficult for me? What have I done to offend anyone?"

Kong Ling smiled and said, "You are my and my cousin's husband, so you should be strict."

"makes sense!"

Xiang Chu wanted to cry but had no tears.

At this time, Shima picked up the megaphone and said anxiously: "Commander! Commander Liu of the 2nd Division wants to talk to you."

Xiang Chu took the megaphone and asked with a smile, "Old Liu! What's the matter?"

Liu Zhengxiong said anxiously, "Commander! A Japanese squad pretended to be fleeing civilians. Fortunately, a Taiwanese soldier who was conscripted by the Japanese shot and killed the Japanese squad leader to warn us. Otherwise, this Japanese squad would have broken through the defense line and sneaked into the rear."

Xiang Chu was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and said hurriedly, "Good! You reminded me very timely and have done a great service."

Liu Zhengxiong said sadly: "No! We should thank this Taiwanese brother, but unfortunately he was killed by the Japanese. Before he died, this Taiwanese brother said that the Japanese 11th Army also brought 5 special howitzer 24 heavy artillery and was going up the Xiangjiang River."

"This information is too important!"

Xiang Chu said anxiously, and ordered loudly, "Shima! Tell all divisions to prevent the devils from disguising themselves as our refugees."

"Yes!"

Shima hurriedly accepted the order.

Yu Xiaowan received a telegram and said anxiously, "Brother Chu! The Japanese sent out snipers, and a regiment commander and a company commander of the 1st Division on the front line were accidentally shot and killed."

"Damn it! Shima! Inform all divisions to be on guard against enemy snipers."

Xiang Chu said angrily, and hurriedly called Gan Rong over and ordered, "Old Gan! Immediately send a regiment down the Xiangjiang River to seize the Japanese boats transporting five special howitzer 5 heavy guns.

Send out another nine companies, all dressed in Japanese uniforms, and infiltrate the Japanese army. Kill any Japanese officers you see, blow up any ammunition you see, and burn any food and grass you see, leaving the Japanese completely blinded. "

"Yes!"

Gan Rong accepted the order with firmness.

This is a good tactic to disrupt the battlefield and cut off the source of the problem.

The two armies had not yet met, but the war had already reached a fever pitch.

Xiang Chu continued to order: "Shima! Inform all divisions that the trenches in all frontline positions should be dug 50 centimeters deeper, and each soldier guarding the frontline positions should bring a bench."

"Yes!"

Shima hurriedly gave instructions.

Finally, she asked weakly, "Commander! Lu Xiong and the others don't understand why they are doing this?"

Xiang Chu smiled mysteriously and said, "The trenches on the front line are tailor-made for the Japanese. They are short and cannot attack us when they go in. It's like digging a grave for them."

"understand!"

Shima said happily.

She hurriedly followed Xiang Chu's instructions and explained to the soldiers of each division.

Kong Ling praised: "Her father! You are really smart."

Xiang Chu smiled and said, "I have read the battle report from you. There was a general who did just that."

Kong Ling shouted, "Okay! You are not honest! You even peeked at my telegram."

"Hush! Fifty thousand motherfuckers! Don't be so loud, the Japanese 11th Army radio is ringing."

Xiang Chu made a gesture to her to keep quiet and pointed to the radio station with the call sign of the Japanese 11th Army.

Yu Xiaowan was listening carefully, transcribing and deciphering the telegram, with a bright smile on her face.
