Chapter 722 General Xiang! Stop messing around

A senior official in a conference room looked at Minister He eagerly.

Minister He held up a telegram and said with a wry smile, "Everyone! Okamura Ningchi complained that the 34th Army was dishonest and used infantry artillery to attack in hand-to-hand combat."

Everyone was filled with indignation and spoke out:

"The 34th Army is wrong. Why is it using infantry artillery to bombard?"

“There should be severe punishment for those who use infantry bombardment.”

"The High Command has given clear orders not to use weapons."

Minister He picked up another telegram and said with a smile: "This telegram was sent by the 34th Army Group. It records in detail that the Japanese first used machine guns to fire, and then Lai Deguang's troops used infantry artillery to bombard one second later."

Commander Lin praised: "I said Lai Deguang is a talented general. He has a great grasp of the timing."

Chen Guo echoed, "That's right! Lai Deguang fired the cannon in time to deter others, he should be reused."

Minister He sighed and said, "You two! Lai Deguang and his chief of staff Wu Huasheng were killed by Japanese snipers and died for their country. Alas!"

"what?!"

Commander Lin and Chen Guo exclaimed.

They both felt a dull pain in their hearts, feeling that a windfall had slipped through their fingers.

Minister He praised: "Everyone! The 34th Army defeated the Japanese vassal division on the right bank of the Xiangjiang River and obtained a large amount of weapons and supplies. It is currently pursuing northward and striving to annihilate this Japanese division."

"it is good!"

The crowd cheered loudly.

Minister Chen asked in surprise: "Old He! There is only one Japanese division participating in the hand-to-hand combat on the right bank of the Xiangjiang River?"

Minister He nodded and said, "Yes! They are called the Servant Division, but they are actually a bunch of old Japanese soldiers."

Minister Chen shook his head and said, "It's over! Did the main Japanese division go to the battlefields in western Hubei and northern Jiangxi?"

At this time, Xiao Qian also arrived at the door of the conference room with the telegram folder.

Ma Chunfang hurriedly stepped forward, took the telegram folder and handed it to Minister He.

Minister He read out: "Because the Japanese sent out the main divisions from Kumamoto, Kyushu, Hokkaido, etc., we suffered defeat in the battles in western Hubei and northern Jiangxi. Although we killed more than 10,000 enemies, we lost nearly 100,000 people."

The conference room was silent, and someone couldn't help crying softly.

Originally, the 34th Army was intended to help a certain direct-line army, but it turned out that the direct-line army was still in a state of chaos and could not even get off the ground.

Minister Chen said with great sorrow: "To be honest! We should not have let the 34th Army wait for hand-to-hand combat. We should have watched the three Japanese divisions to death."

Zhang Zhong nodded and said, "Yes! After the 34th Army deceived the airdropped supplies, it should be allowed to cross the river and destroy the three main divisions of the Japanese."

Minister He shook his head and said, "There is no regret medicine in this world. But the 34th Army is not bad. It will definitely be able to wipe out the Japanese vassal division."

After he finished speaking, he took out a telegram and read: "Supreme Command! The remnants of the Japanese puppet division are only 9,000 people left. They have entered the Beishan Valley in a panic. Our 90,000 elite troops have surrounded them and vowed to annihilate them all. Supervisor Kong Ling!"

Zhang Kui sighed: "The 34th Army is really powerful. It's like a piece of cake to destroy a Japanese division."

Zhang Zhong praised: "It seems that the 34th Army is indeed worthy of being called the super ace army by the devils."

Minister Chen asked in confusion: "Kong Ling is not dead yet?"

Minister He said hurriedly: "You read it wrong!"

This tacit understanding made everyone laugh.

At this time, Inspector Jiang walked out of the inner room and said loudly:

"Minister He! Secretary Song! Secretary Ning! Please come into the inner room."

Everyone looked at each other, then turned to look at Song Xi and Ning Caiwei.

"what?!"

Ning Caiwei looked at Song Xi in astonishment.

Song Xi reacted quickly and pretended to be sad and said:

"Let's go, sister! You need to comfort us."

In full view of everyone, the two women and Minister He walked into the inner room.

After a long while, the two women and Minister He walked out of the inner room again.

Song Xi left the meeting room and Ning Caiwei sat back in her seat.

Her face showed neither joy nor humiliation, and it was hard to tell what had happened.

After the meeting, Ning Changde and Ning Caiwei drove home together.

Ning Changde asked with a smile: "Caiwei! You and Song Xi went into the inner room. I must have come to discuss the conditions related to Xiang Chu with you two."

Ning Caiwei smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle! I can't hide anything from you. The higher-ups want Governor Jiang to be the commander of the 34th Army."

Ning Changde said anxiously: "What about Xiao Xiang? It's not a good idea to hand over military power these days. I don't have the confidence to speak."

Ning Caiwei said helplessly: "What can Jiang Du do to get promoted? And the condition he offered was that Xiang Chu be promoted to general. Sister Xi and I agreed on behalf of Xiang Chu without even thinking about it."

Ning Changde nodded and said, "Yes! Of course I have to agree to be promoted to general, but Xiang Chu must have other conditions besides handing over the 34th Army."

Ning Caiwei smiled bitterly and said, "Let him sneak into the Japanese again under the pretext of going abroad for inspection to learn about their movements and your transportation. In particular, we must make the Japanese and the Russians fight in the Northeast."

Ning Changde said hurriedly, "Yes, yes, yes! If Xiao Xiang doesn't go back to the Japanese, our transportation line will be cut off. The Japanese have been strictly checking the transportation line recently, and the transportation orders have been used up."

Ning Caiwei said angrily, "Uncle! Isn't Xiang Chu in danger with the Japanese? You should save some for yourself."

Ning Changde sighed and said, "Uncle still has to support your aunt's family. How can I not make more money? Alas!"

Ning Caiwei said angrily, "You found it yourself! Why would you look for Na Qian for no reason? She dresses up all day long, which attracts too much attention. You have to be careful."

Ning Changde said with a smile: "Uncle just likes your aunt to dress up gorgeously, haha!"

Ning Caiwei shook her head and said, "She quarrels with Auntie every day, don't you find it tiring?"

Ning Changde said thoughtfully: "Oh, right! Xiang Chu will be returning to Chongqing soon. I must ask him how to maintain a harmonious relationship with my wife."

"boring!"

Ning Caiwei was speechless.

Changsha Beishan, 34th Army Command Post.

Xiang Chu held the telegram sent by Song Xi in his hand and fell into deep thought.

Kong Ling consoled him, "Her father! The price of handing over the 34th Army Group's military power in exchange for promotion to general is quite good."

Yu Xiaowan also hurriedly said: "Brother Chu! Our businesses in Hong Kong, Shanghai, Dalian, Harbin and other places, as well as the film agencies and the front lines behind enemy lines, cannot do without you."

She was just about to say that the Party organization needed you to go back immediately.

Xiang Chu knew this, so he smiled bitterly and said, "My two wives! I am not nostalgic for the position of commander of the 34th Army Group. I am just worried that Inspector Jiang will come and take over and embarrass my brothers."

Kong Ling said angrily: "If Governor Jiang is the commander of the 34th Army, he will definitely need everyone's cooperation. You don't have to worry. And who is he? He can bring more benefits to the 34th Army, and everyone will not lose out. Don't worry!"

Xiang Chu nodded and said, "That's right! Maybe I'm overthinking it. Oh, by the way! What's Inspector Jiang's name?"

Kong Ling smiled and said, "Jiang Du! He is actually a good person, but he has always wanted to pursue me and my cousin. I didn't expect that both me and my cousin would be taken by you."

"Okay! You don't want to, do you?"

Xiang Chu shouted, reaching out to grab her.

Kong Ling dodged and laughed: "General Xiang! Stop messing around."

Yu Xiaowan hurriedly grabbed Xiang Chu and whispered:

"Brother Chu! Sister Kong is pregnant."

"real?!"

Kong Ling and Xiang Chu both exclaimed in surprise.

Xiang Chu hurriedly took Kong Ling's hand, felt her pulse and made a careful diagnosis, then said happily, "Yes! Xiaowan is right, she is pregnant again."
