Chapter 959 I Must Reshape the 1th Division
Doihara Kan'er walked into the command post and changed into Zhuge Liang's attire.
He waved a goose feather fan in his hand and placed the token of the troupe on the table.
Soon, the four regiment commanders and Kumamoto Nihe arrived.
When the officers saw him dressed like this, they couldn't help laughing.
Kumamoto Erhe said with a smile: "Your Excellency the Division Commander! Are you going to put on a show?"
Doihara Xian'er sneered, "Yes! I am now playing the role of Zhuge Liang and issuing military orders. You all have to write down the military order. If you fail in the mission, your entire family will be executed."
Takahashi Taisho corrected him: "Your Excellency the fake general! The Empire does not advocate the execution of entire families."
Doihara Xianer nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yoshi! Taisho still dares to speak the truth. You are worthy of being the admiral's aide-de-camp. I specially order you to lead the Pinggu Regiment..."
Pinggu Lieutenant Commander interrupted him hastily and said anxiously: "Your Excellency, Division Commander! Pinggu's position is higher than Takahashi's, so I should be the leader of this regiment."
Doihara Xian'er rolled his eyes at him and said in a cold voice, "Captain Pinggu! If you fail to complete the mission this time, you will be beheaded. Are you sure you want to lead this regiment to attack?"
Pinggu Lieutenant Commander asked anxiously: "Excuse me, Division Commander! What kind of mission is my corps going to perform?"
Doihara Xian'er smiled mysteriously and said, "According to the information provided by the head of the Shadow Agency, Xiangyang City is empty. We must send a regiment to rush there and capture it."
Upon hearing this, Commander Pinggu quickly changed his words and said, "Your Excellency, Division Commander! Let Takahashi lead the team."
Takahashi Taisho cried out in tears: "Your Excellency the fake general! Taisho will not take you."
The Pinggu Lieutenant Commander prostrated himself on the ground and cried out loudly, "Your Excellency the Division Commander! Pinggu is unwilling to take us with him."
Seeing that the two of them were deadlocked, Doihara Kan'er wrote two pieces of paper and said with a smile:
"Come on! The two of you draw lots. Whoever draws the leading general must lead the regiment to attack."
"Catch me if you want!"
Takahashi Taisho and Lieutenant Commander Hirayani shouted in unison.
Unfortunately, Takahashi Taisho captured the leading general.
Doihara Ken'er's fat face turned stern, he threw down the token and shouted:
"Hey! General Gao, take the order and lead the Pinggu regiment to capture Xiangyang as soon as possible."
Takahashi Taisho picked up the token helplessly and said tearfully:
"Your Excellency the Fake General! What if we can't take it down?"
Doihara Kan'er threw him a military order and waved his goose feather fan, scolding him:
"This Prime Minister will use a goose feather fan to behead you in public!"
When Takahashi Taisho heard that the goose feather fan was beheading, he was immediately overjoyed and shouted in an operatic voice:
"General Gao has received your order! The Prime Minister takes his leave."
After saying this, he ran out of Doihara Ken'er's tent with Captain Pinggu.
Kumamoto Jikawa and others shook their heads as they watched, showing great disdain for Doihara Kan'ei's leadership ability.
Doihara Kenji smiled and said, "Kumamoto-kun! According to intelligence, the command post of the 33rd Army Group of China is in the Changshan area. Please lead the Valley Brigade to capture their commander."
"Order!"
Kumamoto Erhe followed Takahashi Taisho's lead and took orders.
Before Doihara Kan'er threw out the token and military order, he had already left with the captain of the Valley Regiment.
Doihara Ken'er chased out of the tent, stuffed the token and military order into Kumamoto Jihe's arms, and said with a sly smile:
"Brigade Commander Kumamoto! You can't ask for special treatment. If you fail to capture the commander of the Chinese Army, I will behead you and replace you with Commander Kawatani."
The captain of the Hegu League shouted excitedly: "Hegu thanks the commander for his cultivation."
Kumamoto Erhe didn't expect that he would let the regiment commander stare at him, and said unhappily:
"Your Excellency, the Division Commander! We are all out. I hope you are not sleeping in the command post."
Doihara Xian'er shook his head and said, "No! This general will personally lead two regiments to attack, quickly capture Zaoyang, and cut off the Chinese army's retreat."
Kumamoto Erhe taunted, "Your Excellency the Division Commander! Zaoyang controls the key area of Xiangdong. If our army takes it, the main force of China's Fifth War Zone will collapse. There must be heavy Chinese troops guarding it. You can't take it."
Doihara Xian'er smiled mysteriously and said, "The mountain man has his own clever plan. You should quickly conduct a carpet search of the Changshan area. If you can capture the commander of the Chinese Army Group, it will be a great benefit to both you and me."
Kumamoto Nihe wanted to win military merit, and said excitedly: "Ha! Kumamoto, take action immediately."
Doihara Ken'er gently waved a goose feather fan, adding a bit of elegance, and turned to enter the tent.
The remaining two squadron leaders stepped forward and volunteered:
"Please give the order, division commander! Take down Zaoyang City."
But Doihara Ken'er waved his hand and said, "No! Captains Kita and Ota, it's not time for our army to get too excited yet. Go to sleep and have a sweet dream."
"Go to bed first?"
The two Japanese regiment commanders looked at each other.
Doihara Kan'er ignored them, took off his costume, got on the military bed wearing only a pair of shorts, and fell asleep.
The Japanese captains Kita and Ota looked at each other, shook their heads helplessly, and walked out of his tent together.
Doihara Xian'er jumped out of bed and sent a telegram to Aoki Lianhua:
"Dear Qing Mu Lian Hua! I will attack Zaoyang at 2 a.m. To avoid accidentally hurting your precious body, please withdraw your troops from the city in time."
Not long after, I received a reply from Qingmu Lianhua:
"Doihara, fat pig! Do not be rude to me. Please arrive at the city of Zaoyang at 2 a.m."
"Yoshi! I feel that Qing Mu Lian Hua is very fond of me. I hope to meet her with my dream as my horse."
Doihara Kenji said with a smile, lying on the bed with the telegram in his hand, and forcing himself to fall asleep.
By the Yangtze River, outside Sanyou Cave.
Xiang Chu accompanied Minister Chen to inspect the surrounding situation.
Minister Chen looked up at the sky and said thoughtfully, "Mr. Chu! The Japanese planes won't find this place, will they?"
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "It's hard to say! As long as the Japanese spies find this place, they will not only send planes to bomb you, but also send assassins to kill you."
Minister Chen said angrily: "Will they not assassinate you? I hate you more than the devils."
Xiang Chu pointed to his face and said, "Apart from the people around me, who else knows that I am Lord Chu?"
Minister Chen shook his head and said, "You kid! You are just good at playing tricks."
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "Don't worry! I have sent my agents to eliminate the Japanese spies within a ten-mile radius of Sanyou Cave. Anyone who dares to sneak in will be killed without mercy."
Minister Chen nodded and said, "Okay! I'll leave my safety to you."
At this time, a vigorous major general ran over and said loudly:
"Hello, Minister! Hello, Lord Chu!"
Xiang Chu said happily: "Hu Lian! You are here too?"
Hu Lian smiled and said, "Yes! I have always been in the 18th Army."
Xiang Chu praised: "Well! The ace among aces."
Minister Chen asked, "Commander Hu! What's the matter?"
Hu Lian reported: "Minister! Will you not let me take charge of the remaining troops of the 34th Army temporarily? After the mutiny, this unit has less than people left, not even enough for a division. Now there are people who go away every day. If this continues, they will all be dispersed."
Minister Chen looked at Xiang Chu and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Chu! Before leaving Chongqing, Governor Jiang had already suggested disbanding this unit. Are you still going to take over?"
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "As the founder of the 34th Division, of course I have to accept it. And having more people fighting in the war is always a significant force."
Minister Chen waved his hand and said, "Okay! You should go to Yichang with Hu Lian immediately and take over this unit. After you stabilize the unit, let your follower Liu Zhengxiong lead it, and you should hurry back to the command post."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "I understand! You won't be sure if I'm not at the command post. By the way, don't let the 77th Division guard Zaoyang. There may be Japanese spies there."
Minister Chen laughed and scolded, "You kid! Why do you always pick on Huang Baitao? Hurry up and clean up your garbage 34th Division. Go and come back quickly."
Xiang Chu said unconvincedly: "Who said my 34th Division is rubbish? Don't worry! I will definitely reshape the 34th Division and make it a trump card to defend the temporary capital."
After saying this, he immediately bid farewell to Ning Caiwei, took Liu Zhengxiong, Gan Rong and others, and rushed to Yichang with Hu Lian.
