Chapter 814 Sending the Japanese Soldiers to Embrace Death
The Japanese three landing ships have been bombarding for so long, the villagers on the shore should have evacuated.
Yu Xiaowan said thoughtfully, "Brother Chu! Could it be that the person who delivered the message was a Japanese spy?"
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Maybe! He wants to lure us out and test our strength."
Liang Chuxue suggested, "Boy! Why don't we put on a show and send Hu Changsheng to lead a large group of new recruits out of Boli with great fanfare and head west to the counties."
Xiang Chu praised: "Good idea! But we, the Eighth Route Army, are not a force that doesn't care about the lives of the people. We should send a company to Wangdao Village to cooperate with the devils in the play."
Ma Fugui volunteered: "Political Commissar! I'll lead the guard company over to take a look."
Xiang Chu instructed: "Okay! Just pretend and make sure to retreat in time."
"Yes!"
Ma Fugui hurriedly accepted the order.
Liang Chuxue smiled bitterly and said, "Boy! If we act so hard and Akiyama Yoshikatsu still doesn't fall for it, then there's really nothing we can do."
Xiang Chu said confidently: "Uncle! Akiyama Yoshikage will definitely be fooled. Moreover, I have left him a backup plan during the few days he has been drifting on the sea."
Liang Chuxue asked curiously, "What's the back-up plan?"
"Keep it secret!"
Xiang Chu smiled, turned around and rushed towards the tunnel leading to the observation deck.
Liang Chuxue shouted, "Boy! If you have the guts, don't come back."
Yu Xiaowan smiled and said, "Uncle! Brother Chu has hidden some frogmen on Muguan Island, as well as several speedboats loaded with bombs, ready to go to sea and sink the Japanese landing ships at any time."
Liang Chuxue nodded and said, "This kid has always had a lot of crooked ideas since he was young. I give in!"
Yang Jiang smiled and said, "Captain! I think with our leader here, you don't have to worry about fighting."
Liang Chuxue scolded, "It's almost time. Hurry up and gather the three brigades. We must show the style of our Langya detachment."
"Yes!"
Yang Jiang accepted the order with firmness.
Bolibei, beside Longtai Lake outside Longtai Village.
Anan Jihe set up his command post here.
At this moment, he was fishing with great interest.
The captain of the division intelligence team stepped forward and reported: "Your Excellency, the division commander! Major General Yoshikatsu Akiyama's landing ships have arrived off the coast of Muguan Island. They are preparing to attack Boli."
Anan Jihe laughed loudly and said, "Yoshi! Let him attack the Chinese Langya Detachment with all his strength. When both sides are defeated, our division will immediately advance. Haha!"
A big fish suddenly bit his hook and tried its best to escape.
Anan was caught off guard and was dragged into the lake along with his fishing rod by the big fish.
The shore of the lake was full of silt, and the fat man Anan was stuck in the mud and couldn't get out.
And as he struggled desperately, he sank deeper and deeper.
The Japanese intelligence captain shouted loudly: "Quick! Save the division commander!"
The Japanese soldiers rushed forward and dragged Anan Jihe out of the mud.
Anan was covered in mud, and the fishing rod he brought from Hokkaido was dragged away by a big fish. He was so angry that he yelled, "Baga! The fish in China are as hateful as the Langya Detachment."
The Japanese intelligence captain said bitterly: "Mr. Division Commander! You must not be fooled by the fish in China Longtai Lake."
Anan nodded and ordered loudly: "All troops should move overnight, drain the water of Longtai Lake and eat all the fish in it."
"Hello!"
The Japanese soldiers obeyed the order reluctantly.
Bolinan, the waters near Muguan Island.
While Anami's Geometric Division was catching fish in Longtai Lake, Akiyama Yoshiaki's Brigade was preparing for a landing operation.
Yoshikatsu Akiyama, wearing a brand new major general's uniform, was standing on the bow deck with a confident look on his face.
He looked up at the bright moon in the sky and said with emotion: "This moon is so round and bright, just right for illuminating the beach where I am leading the charge."
His chief of staff advised: "Mr. Commander of the Brigade! Please don't lead the charge tonight."
Akiyama Yoshikatsu shook his head and said, "No! The commander of this brigade must lead the way and charge into Boli Castle."
The brigade chief of staff was unaware of his attempt to capture the beautiful political commissar of the Langya detachment, and pleaded:
"You are a general. If something happens to you, wouldn't it be troublesome?"
Seeing that he was so speechless, Akiyama Yoshikatsu said unhappily, "Chief of Staff! Please stop talking nonsense. Ask Nagano Kaiji right away if the Langya Detachment has any unusual phenomena."
"Hello!"
The brigade chief of staff reluctantly accepted the order and ran to the cockpit.
Soon, he ran back to the bow and reported loudly:
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander! According to Nagano Kaiji's report, the main force of the China Langya Detachment is withdrawing to the west. A small force came to harass them but was repelled. Please land and fight immediately to occupy Boli."
Akiyama Yoshikatsu was overjoyed and shouted, "Chief of Staff! Land and fight immediately."
The chief of staff of the Japanese brigade looked at the tide and said hesitantly:
“It feels like the tide hasn’t reached its highest point yet.”
Akiyama Yoshikatsu said impatiently, "There's only half an hour left, let's go!"
"Hello!"
The chief of staff of the Japanese brigade hurriedly received the order.
Three landing ships immediately set sail and rushed towards Shiya Village beach.
The landing ship was getting closer and closer to the beach, gradually entering the artillery range of the Langya Detachment.
Nagano Kaiji was quite smart and led the Japanese squad to light three bonfires on the beach.
Akiyama Yoshikatsu praised: "Kaiji is indeed worthy of being the aide-de-camp of the brigade commander. He even knew how to guide the landing operations of the three landing ships separately."
The chief of staff of the Japanese brigade said worriedly: "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander! If the Langya Detachment has heavy artillery, this bonfire will serve as a guide for them."
Akiyama Yoshikatsu shouted angrily: "Chief of Staff! Please don't say anything bad."
Before he finished speaking, the ground suddenly shook.
"Boom! Boom!"
Countless artillery shells hit the three landing ships.
The landing ship far from the shore was fortunately hit by a shell on the bow.
The bow of the ship sank suddenly into the sea, and the Japanese soldiers were either dead or injured, wailing desperately.
The ship tilted and capsized, slowly sinking into the sea.
There were two Japanese battalions on this landing ship, as well as a large number of weapons and equipment such as tanks and artillery, but they were not used and were just left at sea.
Akiyama Yoshikage was so angry that he yelled, "Baka! The Chinese Langya detachment is so cunning."
Fierce artillery shells were still bombarding the remaining two landing ships. The brigade chief of staff was worried about being killed, so he said anxiously: "General! Get into the cabin quickly."
Akiyama Yoshikatsu shook his head and said, "No! We are about to charge onto the beach, and this general will be the first to charge."
The brigade chief of staff pointed to the landing ship not far away and said, "General! The landing ship has retreated to the edge of Muguan Island and is out of danger. Stop the landing operation plan quickly."
"Boom!" There was a loud noise.
A loud noise was heard from the waterline of the landing ship not far away.
A big hole was blown in the hull and sea water rushed in.
The Japanese landing ship capsized instantly and gradually sank into the sea.
Akiyama Yoshikage saw it clearly and exclaimed, "Baka! Did the Langya detachment hide an explosive speedboat on Muguan Island?"
The brigade chief of staff said helplessly: "It's over! We will die if we retreat. We can only land and fight."
In a blink of an eye, two of the three landing ships were lost. There was an explosive ship hidden on Muguan Island, and only one was left. It did not dare to retreat and could only rush to the beach.
Akiyama Yoshikatsu shouted, "Quick! Rush to the beach and call the Anan Division, asking them to come and rescue our troops as soon as possible."
"Hello!"
The brigade chief of staff bowed and accepted the order.
He rushed to the cockpit and shouted, "Captain! Call the Anan Division and quickly come to rescue our troops."
"Hello!"
The Japanese captain hurriedly accepted the order.
"Boom!"
A heavy shell flew over and landed on the cockpit with great accuracy.
The Japanese brigade's chief of staff, captain, radio operator and others were all killed.
The landing ship used inertia to rush onto the beach, sending the Japanese soldiers to embrace death.
