Chapter 958: Hypocrite
On the wall of the command post hung a map drawn by Xiang Chu.
Minister Chen looked at the deployment of the enemy and our forces and asked in confusion:
"Xiang boy! Why did the devil send out so many troops?"
Xiang Chu said without hesitation: "The devils want to wipe out the main force of our Fifth War Zone, and have drawn a large number of main forces from other battlefields. For example, in Jiangxi, only the 14th Independent Mixed Brigade is left."
Minister Chen said thoughtfully: "The main force of our army should retreat westward as soon as possible to avoid being surrounded and annihilated by the devil's elite troops."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "The main force should retreat westward as soon as possible. In addition, you can suggest that other war zones take advantage of the enemy's lack of troops to launch a large-scale counterattack at the same time to relieve the pressure on the Fifth War Zone."
Minister Chen smiled bitterly and said, "I was ordered to take charge in a time of crisis, so I have to reverse the unfavorable situation first. I don't want to mobilize other war zones to fight right away. This must have been taken into consideration."
Xiang Chu did not argue, pointing to the map and suggesting: "Minister! The Japanese are now attacking in three directions, and Zaoyang will soon fall. Send a highly mobile force to the east to contain the enemy and cover the main force's retreat to the west.
The main forces will withdraw westward in a fan-shaped formation in an orderly manner, luring the enemy deep into their territory and waiting for an opportunity to turn around and surround the enemy.
Minister Chen asked in confusion: "How can you fight so well? I thought you only collected intelligence."
Xiang Chu said angrily, "Have you forgotten? I am the commander of the 34th Army Group. I earned my rank of general through hard work, not through nepotism."
Minister Chen laughed and said, "Just kidding! Chief of Staff! Order all troops to withdraw westward. The 77th Division will be stationed in Zaoyang to contain the enemy and cover the troops' withdrawal westward."
"Yes!"
Ning Caiwei hurriedly took the order and ordered the signalman to send the message.
Xiang Chu couldn't help but say, "Minister! Do you trust the 77th Division so much? Why not change the unit?"
Minister Chen scolded: "Boy! Don't always have a prejudice against Huang Baitao. His elite 77th Division is relatively well-equipped and has rich combat experience. It will definitely be able to accomplish the task of blocking the enemy and covering the retreat of various troops."
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "How could I have any prejudice against him? I hope the 77th Division can stop them and not run away first."
Minister Chen glanced at the radio operator and shook his head, saying, "Boy! The message has been sent and cannot be changed at will."
Xiang Chu wanted to dissuade him, but Ning Caiwei didn't want him to argue with Minister Chen, so she changed the subject and said, "His father! You haven't replied to the telegram to Doihara Xian'er yet."
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "Xiangyang is heavily guarded. We can send him a telegram to inform him that Xiangyang is poorly guarded and give him a head-on blow."
Ning Caiwei said angrily, "Okay! But Doihara Xian'er is an expert in intelligence warfare, how could he be fooled by you?"
Xiang Chu said thoughtfully: "Well! He is indeed a very powerful opponent. But let's just fool him and see if he will be fooled."
Yicheng, Nanguadian Changshan.
Kenji Doihara was taking a nice bath in the large tub he had stolen.
Several Japanese soldiers were burning fire under and around the large vat to heat it up.
At this time, Takahashi Taisho brought the tied-up local company commander to the side of the vat and reported loudly:
"Your Excellency the False General! General Taisho has brought Captain Tsuchihara here for questioning."
Doihara looked at Captain Doihara and said with a smile, "Doihara! If you tell me the exact location of the 33rd Army Headquarters, I will let you go back."
Tu Yuan was determined to die, so he didn't want to tell him the truth, so he deliberately lied, "General Tu! Our army headquarters is in Zaoyang City."
Doihara Kan'er, who always doubted everything, sneered and said, "You are lying! The Imperial Intelligence Department has learned that your army headquarters' command post is nearby."
Tsuchihara shook his head and said, "Your intelligence must be false. Why would the commander be in the wilderness?"
Doihara Kan'er stood up excitedly and ordered:
"Taishō! Hurry up and give me the soap. Wash my face and capture Zaoyang immediately."
Takahashi Taisho handed over the soap and told the Japanese soldier: "Make the fire bigger."
"Hello!"
The Japanese soldiers hurriedly obeyed the order.
Doihara Kan'er started from the beginning and soaped himself up, like a fat, foamy man.
"Bang!"
The bath tub broke in two and the water inside was gone in an instant.
Doihara Kan'er's bare feet were burned by the unextinguished fire and he jumped up and down, roaring:
"Baga! What the hell are you burning for?"
Takahashi Taisho hastily handed over his coat and said:
"Your Excellency the Fake General! Put on your clothes quickly, your figure is so ugly."
"roll--!"
Doihara Kan'er shouted angrily, put on his coat hastily, and corrected,
"Taisho! This general is the most beautiful man in the world."
Takahashi Taisho taunted, "No matter how beautiful you are, can you be more beautiful than the director of the film agency?"
Doihara Kenji was jealous and shouted angrily: "No one is allowed to mention the head of the agency in front of me. This guy didn't even reply to the telegram I sent. He is really a scum of the empire."
At this time, a radio operator ran forward and reported loudly:
"Your Excellency, Division Commander! The Shadow Chief feels deeply guilty towards you, and is offering you the information about Xiangyang's weak defenses to help you achieve merit."
Doihara Kenji shouted, "Radio operator! Who told you to promote the director of the film agency?"
The Japanese radio operator said aggrievedly: "Your Excellency the division commander! The head of the film agency sent a message, and I must read it to you."
Doihara Xian'er was stunned, and waved his hand and said, "Forget it! Considering that the head of the Shadow Agency tried to please this general and took the initiative to provide information, I will forgive him for now. Taisho! Order the entire army to attack Zaoyang."
Takahashi Taisho corrected him: "Your Excellency the fake general! The head of the shadow agency said that Xiangyang's defense is empty, and our army should attack Xiangyang."
Doihara Ken'er hesitated, looked at Zaoyang City not far away, and ordered: "Taisho! Immediately call Kobayashi Shiba and ask if our army can attack Zaoyang."
Takahashi Taisho said with a smile: "Your Excellency the False General! I understand that you want to capture both Zaoyang and Xiangyang, and also want to capture the commander of the Chinese Army Group."
Doihara Kenji nodded and said, "Taisho! Indeed, I will divide the four regiments into three and complete these three feats."
Takahashi Taisho smiled bitterly and said, "The four regiments should be divided into four."
Doihara Ken'er shouted, "Stop talking nonsense! Send the message quickly."
"Hello!"
Takahashi Taisho hurriedly sent a telegram.
Not long after, I received a reply from Xiaolin Zhiye:
"Chief! Deputy Sect Leader Qingmu and I are leading the elite 77th Division of China to station in Zaoyang. As long as you lead the troops to attack Zaoyang, Deputy Sect Leader Qingmu said that Zaoyang will be handed over immediately."
Doihara Ken'er took the telegram in his hand, studied it for a while, and said thoughtfully: "Aoki Lotus is indeed not simple. This woman can replace Nanzō Yunko's position in the general's mind."
Gao Qiao Dazheng reminded: "Your Excellency the fake general! Where is the fat girl from Zangjia Village?"
Doihara Kan'er said helplessly: "Unlike the lecherous Shadow Chief, I am very loyal in my feelings. I have decided to fall in love with someone else from now on. I like Aoki Renka."
Takahashi Taisho said angrily: "What do you mean by infidelity? You are a hypocrite who changes your mind every day."
Doihara Kenji shouted angrily, "Baka! Tell Kumamoto Nihe and the regiment commanders to come over. I, a hypocrite, will divide my troops into three groups and create a miracle in the history of imperial warfare."
"Hello!"
Takahashi Taisho hurriedly accepted the order.
