Chapter 762: Want to be an Eighth Route Army Soldier All Day
Logically speaking, the Japanese troops should not have killed each other, but it was all because of Li Tong's interference.
Li Tong fled through the tunnel carrying Luo Jiaojiao on his back, and a large number of Japanese soldiers chased into the tunnel.
The exit of the tunnel is halfway up the mountain, and not far away is the mountain road to the south.
Li Tong ran out of the tunnel and a cool breeze blew in his face.
Luo Jiaojiao was awakened by the shock and cried:
"Li Tong! Let me down quickly. I want to go back and save my father."
Li Tong carried her on his back and rushed towards the mountain path, saying anxiously:
"Jiaojiao! Dad has already sacrificed himself."
Luo Jiaojiao put the gun to his head and shouted:
"Are you going back? If not, I'll beat you to death."
Li Tong was simply stunned. He put her down and said helplessly:
"Go back! The worst that can happen is that we will die together with the devils."
Unfortunately, Kenji Doihara led a large number of Japanese soldiers and rushed up the mountain road.
"Little devil! Go to hell."
Luo Jiaojiao roared and fired fiercely below.
Takahashi Daisho led countless Japanese soldiers out of the tunnel.
"Little devils! The Anti-Japanese Allied Forces are here!"
Li Tong shouted loudly, threw grenades upwards and downwards, and fired several shots.
The two groups of Japanese soldiers, one above and one below, were suddenly attacked and immediately fought back.
Suddenly, there was a burst of gunfire, and dense bullets streaked across the night sky like lines of fire.
Li Tong dragged Luo Jiaojiao down the hillside regardless of anything, rushing through the dense forest and away from the battlefield.
He ran eastward frantically, not daring to take Luo Jiaojiao to find Xiang Chu, as that would surely implicate Xiang Chu and they would all be doomed.
Takahashi Taisho had fewer men and could not withstand the attack from below.
He thought it was the Anti-Japanese United Army coming up the mountain, and hurriedly ordered the Japanese soldiers around him: "Go and inform Onoki to come over and help stop the Chinese Anti-Japanese United Army."
"Hello!"
The Japanese soldiers hurriedly took orders and ran into the tunnel and up the mountain to get reinforcements.
Soon, Oonoki led the Japanese soldiers to arrive.
Although there is only one squadron, it has the advantage of being on high ground.
Doihara Kan'er has been losing battles recently and was even captured by bandits.
He was very angry when he saw that his attack was blocked, and ordered the captain:
"Quick! Push up the Type 92 infantry guns and bomb the Chinese Anti-Japanese United Army to death."
Eight infantry guns were pushed up and bombarded Onoki's squadron.
In a blink of an eye, the balance of war tilted towards Doihara Kenji's battalion.
The two sides fought desperately. Oonoki's squadron had few people and poor firepower, and in the end only a few people were left.
The sound of gunfire gradually became sparse, and both sides heard each other's howling, and immediately thought it was a misunderstanding.
Takahashi Taisho also heard Doihara Kan'er's unique roar, and shouted: "Chief Doihara! Yamashita Yoshiaki! Is that you?"
Yamashita Yoshiaki recognized Takahashi Taimasa's voice and said anxiously, "General! It sounds like Takahashi Taimasa."
Doihara Kan'er listened and said angrily, "That damn guy is the one. Everyone stop shooting."
The two armies fought for more than an hour, resulting in countless casualties. Oonoki's squadron was almost wiped out. It turned out to be a bloody fratricide.
Doihara Kenji was so angry that he slapped Takahashi Taisho and Ōnoki several times, pulled out his pistol and wanted to shoot them both.
Takahashi Taisho said hurriedly: "General! We found a lot of treasure in the bandit's lair."
Doihara Xian'er put away his pistol and said angrily, "Lead the way!"
"Hello!"
Takahashi Daimasa accepted the order with a look of relief.
Ōnoki still wanted to stop them, but when he saw that there were only a few people around him, he immediately lost the courage to fight for the treasure.
South of Pudu Temple is the Valley of Forgetful Souls.
Only sporadic gunshots were heard, and Ogawa Ira's regiment had been completely wiped out.
The Anti-Japanese Allied Forces fighters seized a large number of weapons and equipment while cleaning up the battlefield.
The Anti-Japanese Allied Forces’ command post was set up in a secret cave on the mountain.
Cuilan picked up the telegram and read, "Commander-in-Chief! Your nephew said that a large group of Japanese soldiers are coming from Jiudaogouzi. If we want to fight, we can fight. If we don't want to fight, we can retreat."
Wang Jingshan laughed and said, "This kid! He really thinks I can take on a large group. Tell them to quickly clean up the battlefield, leave the Soul Forgetting Valley, and turn eastward."
"Yes!"
Na Cuilan hurriedly issued orders.
Wang Jingshan thought for a moment and ordered, "Director! Send a telegram to that guy. We have seized a lot of weapons and ammunition this time. His caravan does not need to be sent to me for the time being. Send it to other anti-Japanese forces instead."
"understand!"
Cuilan smiled and quickly sent a telegram.
Not long after, Xiang Chu replied: "Uncle! I have a subordinate named Li Tong, who went to Jiudaogouzi for reconnaissance and disappeared. If he comes to you, please take him in."
Wang Jingshan said angrily: "This kid just likes to play the role of a spy. He doesn't know how to fight."
Cuilan laughed and said, "General! He just can't fight on the Japanese side, but he has become a general on the National Army side."
Wang Jingshan sneered and said, "A general of the National Army! If he has the ability to be a division commander of the Eighth Route Army, let me see."
Cuilan shook her head and said, "We only have three divisions in the Eighth Route Army. Isn't this asking too much?"
"Indeed!"
Wang Jingshan deeply agreed with this.
Southeast of Jiudaogouzi, beside the Nehe River.
Xiang Chu led his troops to this place and camped.
Doihara Xian'er asked with a smile: "Chief! Shouldn't our army march to Pudu Temple overnight?"
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "Why rush over? The Xiaochuan League has been wiped out by the Chinese Anti-Japanese League."
"Destroyed?!"
Doihara Kan'er could not help but be stunned.
Xiang Chu patted his shoulder and comforted him: "Doihara-kun! You have worked hard these days, take a good rest."
But Doihara Xianer looked at his watch and said excitedly: "Chief! It is two o'clock in the morning, Doihara is at his most excited moment. Can you give me a battalion to go to Pudu Temple to destroy the Chinese Anti-Japanese United Army?"
Xiang Chu was so angry that he was afraid that he would lead his troops to harm the people, so he scolded him: "My regiment has a total of three battalions and an artillery squadron. I have already sent a battalion to Pudu Temple. The remaining battalions have suffered serious casualties due to repeated battles. If they are attacked by the Chinese Anti-Japanese United Army, wouldn't it be troublesome? We must not divide our troops any more."
After he finished speaking, he turned and went into the tent, leaving Doihara Ken'er alone, disheveled in the wind.
Yamashita Yoshiaki stepped forward and said, "General! The chief is right. We have so many treasures now. There is no need to fight so hard on the battlefield."
"Yoshi! I want to sleep with the golden chamber pot."
Doihara Kan'er became happy in an instant and ran towards his tent.
In Xiang Chu's tent, Yu Xiaowan heard it and shook her head:
"This Doihara Kan'er is really a pervert."
Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "Abnormality is only a superficial phenomenon. He has suffered heavy blows repeatedly, which has smoothed his edges and corners. He has grown up. Such an opponent is more terrifying."
Yu Xiaowan said angrily, "What's scary is the evil woman Nan Zao Yunzi. As soon as she arrived in Shanghai, she brought No. 76 with her and captured all the spies from the Military and Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics."
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "She just wants to take credit. The failure of the Military and Central Bureaus in Shanghai was all because No. 76 Li Shiqun instigated the rebellion of Wang Tianmu, a veteran of the Military and Central Bureaus."
At this time, the radio transmission sounded.
Yu Xiaowan copied and translated the message and read, "Nobita! Ming Qianxing, on behalf of the Cabinet Intelligence Bureau, has come to Shanghai in coordination with officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Internal Affairs to investigate the death of Kagesa Masaaki. After you finish your mission in Kanto, you will immediately go to North China to carry out the plan of infiltrating the Eighth Route Army. Ayun!"
Xiang Chu said thoughtfully: "Xiao Wan! Do you think Nanzō Yunko and Kagesa Masaki would realize that I was the one who sent someone to carry out the Chongguang Hall bombing?"
Yu Xiaowan smiled and said, "What's the use of thinking about it? We need solid evidence. What are you afraid of? They won't do anything to you. Think about it quickly, where are we hiding in the Eighth Route Army?"
"You! You want to be a soldier in the Eighth Route Army all day long."
Xiang Chu said unhappily and walked to the map to check it.
