Chapter 724 Doihara Xianer Becomes Chu Ge's Subordinate
In order to kill 34 Japanese soldiers, the th Army fought hard.
Half of the troops began to dig water diversion ditches, which became a spectacle.
The Chinese love to watch the fun, and people nearby all came forward to watch.
An old scholar from the Qing Dynasty asked Ning Qiang, who was in charge of the 5th Division digging trenches:
"Sir! Are you going to dig a canal?"
Ning Qiang explained: "Old man! We need to dig a canal to drown the tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers in the valley."
The old scholar said happily: "Great! I will call on my fellow villagers to dig a ditch with you to drown the Japanese devils."
Ning Qiang was moved and said, "Thank you! Thank you so much."
The old scholar waved his hand and said, "What are you thanking me for? When China was at its poorest and weakest, it encountered the most powerful enemy. I dream of killing a few devils. Thank you!"
After saying this, he ran tremblingly towards the people who were watching the fun.
Inspired by him, people from all over the country joined in digging ditches.
In the air, a Japanese reconnaissance plane passed slowly.
The pilot took pictures of the bustling scene from high in the sky.
Wuhan, the restaurant of the Japanese 11th Army Headquarters.
Okamura Ningchi held a grand banquet to celebrate the great victory in western Hubei and northern Jiangxi.
The Japanese generals ate and drank to their heart's content and enjoyed themselves very much.
Ono Chihua walked up to Okamura Ningchi, handed him two photos, and whispered, "Commander-in-Chief! The 34th Chinese Army is digging a canal by the Xiangjiang River, and it seems that they are going to drown the Imperial vassal division."
Okamura Ningchi glanced at the blurry photos and said disapprovingly: "The Lengyue Valley where the vassal division is located is at least 5 kilometers away from the Xiangjiang River. Let the 34th Army dig it. It will take at least 3 days to dig it."
Ono Chika reminded him, "Didn't you say you were going to send reinforcements? Which division is going?"
Okamura Ningchi immediately asked: "Generals! The vassal division is besieged by the Chinese 34th Army in the Lengyue Valley in the northern mountains of Changsha. Who is willing to rescue it?"
When these words were spoken, no one responded.
Qiu Zukago said with a smile: "Commander! If it weren't for the 34th Chinese Army, the Kyushu Division would be the first to go."
All the Japanese division commanders echoed in unison: "Yes! In addition to the 34th Army, our division is also willing to be the first to go."
The commander of the Hokkaido Division said drunkenly: "Your Excellency the Commander! The main force of the Ninth Chinese War Zone has moved from Jiangxi to Hunan. With the addition of the 34th Chinese Army, it will be very difficult to rescue the vassal division!"
"Yes! It's too difficult."
The Japanese division commanders echoed in unison.
Okamura Ningchi was so angry that he waved his hands helplessly and said, "Let's have a feast tonight and discuss it tomorrow. Anyway, the canal for the 34th Chinese Army will take another three days to dig."
The result was the opposite of what he had hoped for! He did not know about the Chinese people’s extraordinary ability to dig ditches and build canals.
In the middle of the night, a 6-kilometer-long water diversion canal was dug into Lengyue Valley.
Lengyue Valley, the command post of the Japanese puppet division.
The command post is located in a large cave at the bottom of the valley and is very quiet.
The Japanese division commander Fukudagawa was drinking and having fun with the chief of staff Oshima Mao.
The two of them drank to drown their sorrows and got a little drunk.
Fukudakawa drank a glass of sake and said bitterly: "The damn 34th Army is so cruel. If the commander of our division escapes, I will lead the army back to settle accounts with them."
Oshima Mao was worried and drank a cup as well, saying anxiously:
"Your Excellency, the division commander! The 34th Chinese Army has not launched an attack since this afternoon. I wonder what they are up to."
Fukudagawa said arrogantly: "They must have been frightened by the telegram from the commander of our division and dared not attack again. They may have retreated."
Oshima Mao shook his head and said, "Absolutely impossible! The 34th Army of China is China's super ace army. They must want to use treacherous tactics against our army."
Fukudagawa shouted, "Baga! You are as cowardly as a mouse. Are you still a general of the Empire? Now all our troops are hiding in the caves. The 34th Chinese Army is helpless. When the reinforcements sent by Commander Okamura arrive, our army will definitely be able to defeat the 34th Chinese Army with the reinforcements."
Oshima Mao nodded and said, "Your Excellency, the division commander! Your original underground cave tactics are indeed brilliant. I admire you very much."
Fukuda Chuan waved his hand and said, "Stop flattering the commander of our division. Take your men to the mountain village of China and capture ten Chinese beauties for the commander of our division."
"Ha! I need a flower girl too."
Oshima Mao said with a smile, bending down and walking towards the cave entrance.
Fukudakawa asked in confusion: "Hey! What's that sound?"
Oshima Mao stopped to listen, and said thoughtfully:
"It sounds like water."
At this time, water poured into the cave.
Futian River cried out: "Baka! There is a flood."
Oshima Mao reacted faster than him and hurriedly crawled towards the entrance of the cave.
Fukudachuan hugged his legs and was kicked unconscious by him.
Oshima Mao managed to climb out of the cave, looked at the flooded cave, and said bitterly: "Fukuda River! You bully this chief of staff all day long, it's better for you to die and save trouble."
After saying this, he turned and ran to a higher place.
However, after running a few steps, the flood came rushing in, rising to waist-deep and quickly submerging the Lengyue Valley.
Because it was late at night, the Japanese soldiers were all sleeping in the caves, and the caves became their graves.
Ooshima Mao swam to a big tree and climbed up. The tree was full of snakes.
In the darkness, several poisonous snakes bit him several times, killing him.
On top of Beishan Mountain, the 34th Army Command Post.
The command post was quiet, with only Yu Xiaowan and Xiang Chu waiting for good news.
At this time, Zhang Fei's extremely excited voice rang out over the radio loudspeaker.
"Commander! The Japanese servant division is completely finished."
Xiang Chu picked up the megaphone and said happily: "Good! That's great!"
Yu Xiaowan smiled and said, "Brother Chu! This battle is your final battle in the rear area."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Yes! The final battle. I hope I can come back and lead the troops in battle in the future."
Yu Xiaowan leaned into his arms and begged, "You must take Xiaowan with you."
Xiang Chu happily said: "Of course!"
At this time, the radio transmission sounded.
Yu Xiaowan hurriedly copied and deciphered the message, and said with a wry smile:
"Brother Chu! Governor Jiang called and said that he will bring several reporters here tomorrow morning. After he arrives, the 34th Army will launch a general attack on the Japanese puppet divisions."
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "You are so eager to make a contribution! Tell him that the Japanese vassal division was just annihilated in Lengyue Valley."
Yu Xiaowan suggested, "Brother Chu! He is now the commander of the 34th Army Group, and you are a general councilor. Why not give all the credit to him and promote Uncle Liu, Zhang Fei, and Li Tong to army commanders instead?"
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "Yes! Very good, call him back immediately, he will probably agree."
"Yes!"
Yu Xiaowan hurriedly sent a telegram.
Not long after, I received a reply from Governor Jiang: "It can be considered! But only two army commanders can be promoted. I have another confidant who wants to be the army commander. See you at the Beishan Command Post tomorrow."
Yu Xiaowan said unhappily: "This guy came here and placed his own people there."
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "It's understandable that a hero has three helpers. Let's promote Zhang Fei and Lao Liu to army commanders. Li Tong is young and needs more experience."
Yu Xiaowan said angrily, "Because you are his junior uncle, and he doesn't want to be partial to you."
The next morning, 34th Army Command Post.
Xiang Chu called all the division commanders over and waited at the command post for Governor Jiang to come and take over.
It was already ten o'clock in the morning, and Governor Jiang had not arrived yet.
Ning Qiang cried and said, "Commander! I'd better go back to Shanghai with you."
All the division commanders echoed in unison: "Commander! I want to go back to Shanghai with you, too."
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "The Doihara Xianerzhu Agency is going to merge with our Shadow Agency. What are you going back for?"
"Ah? Merge!"
The teachers exclaimed in surprise.
Yu Xiaowan smiled and said, "Yes! The Shadow Agency merged with the Taken Agency, and Doihara Xian'er became Brother Chu's subordinate."
