Chapter 710: Who has more chariots?

Yu Xiaowan stood up, handed a telegram to Xiang Chu, and said with a smile:

"Brother Chu! Sister Kong! The Japanese 11th Army has transported a large amount of weapons, ammunition, and food into Miluo City. If we can ask them to send bombers to blow them up, the outcome of this war will be decided."

Xiang Chu took the telegram and read it, and said happily: "Great! It just so happens that the Soviet Union has provided us with a lot of bombers, which will come in handy this time. Fifty thousand! Can you apply for it?"

Kong Ling smiled and said, "Okay! This is the most direct way to solve the problem."

After saying this, she hurriedly sent a telegram to the Supreme Command requesting bombers.

Soon, I received a reply from the Supreme Command:

"Because the Japanese spies guided the devil's bombers to bomb the secret airport, all our bombers were blown up. You sent a death squad to Miluo City to destroy it."

Xiang Chu and the other two looked at each other in bewilderment, their joy was in vain.

Kong Ling and Yu Xiaowan were very depressed and kept crying as they looked at Xiang Chu.

"It's no big deal! Don't cry."

Xiang Chu hugged them both to comfort them.

Yu Xiaowan said angrily: "You send out death squads at every turn. Human life is worthless."

Kong Ling said bitterly: "The Central Bureau of Investigation and the Military Bureau of Investigation are useless! They can't even catch a Japanese spy."

Xiang Chu walked to the map and said helplessly: "War! How can there be no bloodshed and sacrifice? Now that the Japanese army has come to the front to fight a decisive battle with our army, the troops in the rear should be relatively empty."

Kong Ling said anxiously: "Since the Supreme Command has issued an order, we have no way out. We must send troops to launch a 'dare to die' operation and charge into Miluo City to destroy the enemy's baggage."

Yu Xiaowan shook her head and said, "I shouldn't have asked for instructions earlier. It's hard to get off the tiger now."

Xiang Chu pondered for a while, then ordered: "Shima! Inform the 3rd Division and send a cavalry regiment to travel 30 miles east of Yuchi Mountain through the battlefield and head north. Go to Miluo City overnight to destroy the enemy's weapons, ammunition, food, and other baggage, and launch a 'dare to die' operation to cut off the enemy's firewood."

"Yes!"

Shima hurriedly accepted the order.

Kong Ling suggested: "Her father! Send a telegram to the reconnaissance companies around Miluo City to cooperate with the 3rd Division Cavalry Regiment to launch the "dare to die" operation at all costs."

Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Okay! At the same time, send telegrams to the 6th and 7th divisions to start flanking operations. Each division will attack first and then retreat to attract attention for the cavalry regiment."

When still, there is no disturbance; when moving, there is thunder and lightning.

The order was quickly issued and each division prepared to attack.

On the surface of South Dongting Lake, the captain's room of the Chunlai transport ship.

Ono Chih-hua reported loudly: "Commander! Three divisions of our army have already moved southward to the north bank of the Xiangjiang River, facing the positions of the 3th Chinese Army. Should we launch an attack immediately?"

Okamura Ningchi shook his head and said, "The 24-inch heavy artillery hasn't arrived yet, so we can't launch an attack yet."

Ono Chika said worriedly: "But if the 34th Army launches the first attack, their 88mm artillery will fire before our heavy artillery, and our army will definitely suffer heavy casualties."

Okamura Ningchi said disapprovingly: "Don't worry! The 34th Chinese Army has always been steady and cautious, and will never launch the first attack.

As for their 24 88mm German guns deployed on Yuelu Mountain, they can’t hit our three divisions at all.”

At this time, the Japanese intelligence lieutenant colonel ran in with a telegram folder and reported loudly:

"Commander! The 34th Chinese Army, under the cover of heavy artillery, actually took the lead in attacking our army."

"where?!"

Okamura Ningchi cried out in surprise, very upset at being slapped in the face, he stood up and ran to the map, and told the intelligence lieutenant colonel,

"Lieutenant Colonel! Immediately notify the three divisions to stop the Chinese 3th Army with all their strength and disintegrate their offensive."

"Hello!"

The Japanese lieutenant colonel hurriedly took the order.

Okamura Ningchi continued to order: "Ono-kun! Call the commander of the Special Howitzer 24 Heavy Artillery Regiment and ask where they are now? This commander urgently needs them to be deployed to the battlefield."

"Hello!"

Ono Zhihua hurriedly sent a telegram.

Soon, a reply was received via telegram: "Commander! The Special Lv 24 Heavy Artillery Regiment was attacked by a Chinese regiment in the waters north of Jinggang, Xiangjiang River. Two of the three ships carrying heavy artillery sank, leaving only one."

"Baga! You are the heavy artillery of the empire."

Okamura Ningchi was so angry that he fainted.

North of Jinggang, on the surface of the Xiangjiang River.

More than 20 civilian ships, fully loaded with soldiers from the 2st Regiment of the 1nd Division, were surrounding the last ship loaded with the 24mm heavy artillery and bombarding it.

The Japanese soldiers were fearless and even after falling into the Xiangjiang River, they continued to fire fiercely at the Chinese soldiers on the civilian boats.

For a moment, the sound of gunfire resounded across the Xiangjiang River.

The captain of the Japanese 24-ton heavy artillery regiment looked at the two sunken transport ships and realized that his ship would soon be destroyed. He shouted, "Quick! Aim the heavy artillery at the Chinese boats and bomb them to death."

The captain said anxiously: "Sir, Commander! If we fire the heavy artillery, the recoil will sink our ship to the bottom of the water."

The Japanese heavy artillery commander shouted angrily: "Baga! If you don't fire shells, this ship will still be sunk by the Chinese army."

"Hello!"

The captain of the Japanese transport ship accepted the order reluctantly and silently picked up the lifebuoy.

Under the supervision of the regiment commander, the Japanese artillery adjusted the muzzle and loaded and fired.

"Boom!" A loud noise shook the earth.

The Japanese transport ship sank suddenly and broke into two pieces.

The Japanese officers and soldiers on the ship were either wounded or killed, and all fell into the Xiangjiang River.

The giant shell was fired at the civilian ship where the commander of the 2st Regiment of the 1nd Division was located.

"Dive in!"

The team leader saw it in advance, shouted loudly, and led everyone to abandon the boat and jump into the river.

The huge shell hit the civilian ship mercilessly, causing it to disintegrate.

Many brave soldiers were unable to escape and died heroically. The rest climbed onto nearby civilian boats and continued to fire fiercely at the Japanese on the river until they were all wiped out.

North of Yuelu Mountain, 34th Army Command Post.

Gan Rong rushed into the command post and said excitedly:

"Commander! The three ships carrying the Japanese Tehu 24 heavy artillery have all been sunk."

Xiang Chu asked anxiously: "How many brothers have we sacrificed in total?"

Gan Rong said sadly: "Hundreds of brothers were sacrificed."

Xiang Chu took off his military cap and said sadly: "A group of brothers will die in every battle."

At this time, Shima reported: "Commander! The 3rd Division Cavalry Regiment reported that they have passed through the enemy's heavily armed battlefield and reached the rear, and are rushing towards Miluo City."

Xiang Chu hurriedly ordered: "Order each division to retreat to their respective positions to block the front."

"Yes!"

Shima hurriedly accepted the order.

On the Xiangjiang front, the sound of gunfire gradually subsided.

The divisions of the 34th Army achieved their objectives and retreated to their respective positions.

The Japanese were caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties.

However, they were used to being arrogant and could not tolerate being abused.

The commander of the Kyushu Division of the Japanese, Qiu Zuka Goro, was so angry that he shouted: "Tank Squadron, attack! Murakami Squadron, attack in coordination, let the 34th Army of China see the Empire's tanks."

His chief of staff Toyoshima Mion reminded him, "Your Excellency the division commander! The 34th Chinese Army also has tanks."

Qiu Zukago said disdainfully: "Nonsense! China's tank troops went to Kunlun Pass, there is definitely no tank here, please don't grow China's ambitions and destroy the empire's prestige, send out the tanks quickly to scare the Chinese 34th Army to death."

"Hello!"

Toyoshima Mion accepted the order reluctantly.

Soon, eight tanks rushed out of the position like the wind, and with the close coordination of a Japanese squadron, they rushed towards the position of the 8nd Division of the 34th Army opposite with great momentum.

Liu Zhengxiong was overjoyed and sneered, "Come on! Let's see who has more chariots."
