Chapter 949 Riding a Cow Across the River Back
Liu Zhengxiong's shouting attracted Song Xi and others.
The whole family looked at Xiang Chu in panic, not knowing what to do.
Xiang Chu was not flustered, and asked slowly:
"Lao Liu! Which of our troops mutinied?"
Liu Zhengxiong said unhappily: "Of course it is a unit under the 34th Army Group. Outsiders are calling it the Garbage 34th Division again."
Song Xi asked hurriedly: "Old Liu! How do you mutiny?"
Liu Zhengxiong smiled bitterly and said, "Because the military pay cannot be paid on time, and there is a shortage of food and weapons, the officers and soldiers are all leaving, and some have already left."
Xiang Chu said disapprovingly: "Let's go! It would be better if everyone left."
Kong Ling said angrily: "Her father! How can he be so irresponsible?"
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "The Military Affairs Department has not issued an order to me to take over the remaining troops of the 34th Army. Currently, the 34th Army is still under the jurisdiction of Governor Jiang. Otherwise, the military order is as strong as a mountain, and I would have gone to Yichang to take over the troops long ago."
Kong Ling nodded and said, "Yes! We haven't even seen the notification, so it's not considered our troops yet."
Minister Chen was stunned when he heard this, and smiled bitterly: "Your family is really good at taking advantage of loopholes. If Minister He hadn't accompanied the foreign military inspection team every day, he would have issued the order long ago."
Kong Ling said angrily, "Minister Chen, what troops will Xiang Chu lead if he is your chief of staff?"
Minister Chen smiled bitterly and said, "Governor Jiang wants to build a new army. It's not right to disband the old army directly. We have to find someone to take over. The army created by Lord Chu is the best candidate, right?"
Everyone looked at each other in surprise; they didn't expect this to be the case.
Song Xi smiled bitterly and said, "This is my fault. I wanted to find a troop to protect our men on the front line, but I didn't expect this arrangement."
Xiang Chu was moved and said, "Sister Xi! How can I blame you for this? I also want to reorganize the 34th Army."
Minister Chen was puzzled and asked, "How strange! The remaining troops of the 34th Army are under the command of Governor Jiang, so they are well protected and are unlikely to mutini. What's going on?"
Xiang Chu smiled mysteriously and said, "Minister Chen! This mutiny was caused by someone deliberately trying to disrupt me. But to achieve one's own goals in this way, one really has no bottom line."
Minister Chen said thoughtfully: "Yes! Don't worry, wait and see, this person will jump out on his own initiative."
Xiang Chu said tacitly: "Okay! I'll wait for Wang Sheng to jump out on his own initiative."
Minister Chen said angrily, "You kid! Don't accuse people of crimes without reason."
Kong Ling said angrily, "Minister! When has Xiang Chu ever lied to you? You must never bring Wang Sheng with you."
Minister Chen smiled bitterly and said, "My dear lady! If I want to drive someone away, I must have some evidence."
At this time, Xiao Qian ran to the door and said anxiously:
"Minister! Wang Sheng and other instructors have gathered at the door of your office. Because the 34th Division mutinied and impeached Mr. Chu, they request that Mr. Chu be removed as your chief of staff. Otherwise, none of them will go to the front line."
Minister Chen was furious and ordered, "Xiao Qian! Go back and tell Wang Sheng and the others that the 34th Division is still under the charge of Governor Jiang and has nothing to do with Lord Chu. Let them go find Governor Jiang.
Since Wang Sheng was the leader of this mischief, this Minister will not allow him to go to the front line with us.”
"Yes!"
Xiao Qian hurriedly accepted the order.
Political Department, in front of the Minister’s office.
Wang Sheng said indignantly: "Everyone! The 34th Division, the unit that Mr. Chu was in charge of, mutinied in Yichang, which shows that he has no command ability. Such a person should never be the chief of staff."
The instructors echoed, "That's right! We can't let him be the chief of staff."
Wang Sheng whispered, "Brothers! Please recommend me to be the chief of staff. If it works out, I'll treat you right away."
Xiao Qian rushed over and said anxiously, "Instructor Wang! Minister Chen said that the 34th Division is still under the jurisdiction of Governor Jiang and has nothing to do with Lord Chu. If you want to find someone, go find Governor Jiang. In addition, Minister Chen said that you are the leader of the trouble and you are not allowed to follow him to the front line."
Wang Sheng exclaimed: "What? Where is Minister Chen?"
Xiao Qian threatened: "In the Chu Mansion, don't make trouble in the political department, the military police will come and arrest you at any time."
When the instructors heard this, they all scattered like birds and beasts.
Wang Sheng grabbed Han Li and said anxiously:
"Old Han! Let's go to the Chu Mansion and explain things to Minister Chen."
Han Li laughed loudly and said, "Why should I explain? I'm not the one who started the trouble. Go find trouble with Governor Jiang, he will definitely arrest you and put you in solitary confinement. Haha!"
After saying this, he swaggered towards Zeng Yun's office.
Wang Sheng sneered, "What's so great about that? Minister Chen doesn't want me here, so I can go to Commander Zhang's 33rd Army and I can still get great military merit. Humph!"
Han Li thought that he should go to the Chu Mansion to take a look, so he stopped and turned around, smiling and said, "Brother Wang! I didn't expect you to be so capable. Let's go! I'll accompany you to the Chu Mansion to explain to Minister Chen."
Wang Sheng shook his head and said, "If I go to the Chu Mansion, Chu Xi will definitely harm me. Forget it! I will endure it today. One day, I will definitely take revenge on Chu Xi."
Han Li begged, "Brother Wang! Let's go for a walk."
Wang Sheng said earnestly, "Brother Han! Thanks to Mr. Han's care, we can go to any unit as excellent instructors to guide combat. You might as well go with me to Commander Zhang. Otherwise, if you follow Minister Chen and Chu Xi, they will definitely make things difficult for you."
Han Li pondered and said, "Brother Wang! Let me think about it first."
Wang Sheng patted his shoulder and said in a friendly manner: "Okay! I'll give you one day, and we'll rush to the Zaoyi front tomorrow. It will be great not to be an errand boy for Chen and Chu."
Han Li thanked him: "Thank you! Give me a day."
After saying this, he turned and walked towards Zeng Yun's office.
To the north of Xiangyang City, the Han River is surging.
Doihara Kenji crossed the river alone with a cow.
On this side of the river, there are numerous fortifications and a large number of defenders.
Fortunately, he always wore a green hat, a green robe, and carried a big knife. No one regarded him as a normal person, and naturally no one thought that he was a Japanese general.
When a sentry saw him coming, he shouted:
"Old farmer! This is a military stronghold. You are not allowed to approach."
"Ah! Ugh! Ha!"
Doihara Kan'er gestured to move forward, mumbling something intentionally so that no one could hear him.
The sentry thought he was deaf, dumb and stupid, so he waved his hands helplessly and said:
"Okay! Just go ahead and don't run around."
Doihara Kenji rode a cow and swaggered into the military restricted area, conducting reconnaissance.
He has an excellent memory and remembers the locations of all firing points and command posts at all levels.
And the distribution of troops in each unit was studied before they leisurely left the military restricted area.
He let the ox go into the water again and swam towards the other side of the Han River.
On the other side of the Han River, Kumamoto Erhe was announcing the headquarters' orders to Japanese officers above the battalion level.
"Everyone! Division Commander Kenji Doihara went into the enemy camp alone and died for his country. This brigade commander has requested permission from the headquarters to temporarily serve as the division commander. You will all be promoted one level higher."
The Japanese officers cheered: "Yoshi! That's great."
Suddenly, a Japanese soldier shouted loudly:
"Division Commander! I'm back from crossing the river on a cow."
Indeed, Doihara Ken'e was standing on the back of an ox, holding a big knife in his hand, looking extremely domineering, and was slowly approaching the shore.
