Chapter 962 Just to See Your Beauty
Lieutenant Kita laughed and said, "Ota-kun! We should also send a telegram to the Shanghai Special High Section and ask them to provide information on the deployment of Chinese troops around Zaoyang."
Captain Daejeon said with a smile: "Yoshi! Let the beautiful Section Chief Minamizou know that you and I have made a great contribution."
"This wing captain wants the whole world to know, haha!"
Captain Kita laughed and ordered the radio operator to send the message.
Liujialin, east of Yichang City, 34th Army Command Post.
Xiang Chu, Liu Zhengxiong, Gan Rong and others all slept in the command post on simple camp beds.
In the silent night, the radio station with the call sign of Shanghai Special High Section rang with a telecommunication sound that was particularly harsh.
Liu Zhengxiong shouted, "Who would send a telegram so late at night?"
Xiang Chu ordered: "Stop shouting! Go and receive the telegram quickly."
Liu Zhengxiong refused: "No! I'm sleeping soundly."
When he saw that Xiang Chu had already gone to copy it himself, he had no intention of letting him go at all.
Liu Zhengxiong shouted, "You kid! You are really good at fooling people."
Ma Fugui was awakened by his voice and got up in a daze.
After receiving the telegram, Xiang Chu exclaimed: "It's over! Zaoyang is lost, why is there no news at all? Fugui! Send it to the war zone command immediately and suggest that the main force quickly retreat westward."
"Yes!"
Ma Fugui hurriedly took the order and sent an urgent telegram.
This telegram came out like a bolt from the blue.
There were still many main forces in the east of Zaoyang City, and they immediately retreated westward after receiving the telegram.
There were also many troops who did not receive the telegram due to fierce fighting and emergency transfer.
At dawn, Wang Sheng finally sobered up.
The communications officer was running around the room in a panic. When he saw him wake up, he hurriedly reported:
"Commander! Because our troops did not arrive in Zaoyang in time to relieve the guard, Zaoyang City has been lost."
Wang Sheng rubbed his eyes and said disapprovingly: "Isn't the 77th Division stationed in Zaoyang? Our 78th Division didn't arrive yet, so why did they leave?"
The communications officer took out a stack of telegrams and said with a wry smile, "The 77th Division sent several telegrams urging us to go, and they received an order from the army commander to rush to Yichang overnight."
Wang Sheng wondered, "Why did the commander order the 77th Division to rush to Yichang?"
The communications officer smiled slyly and said, "The commander is extremely lustful, and the chief of staff of the 77th Division is the beautiful Lin Qiaoer, so he must be targeting her."
Wang Sheng nodded and waved his hand, saying, "Notify all troops to rush to Zaoyang and take it back from the devils."
The communications officer took out a telegram and said anxiously, "Commander! The group headquarters has issued a new order, telling us not to go to Zaoyang, but to go to Yicheng to support the 33rd Army to prevent them from being surrounded by the devils."
Wang Sheng angrily rebuked: "What does the 33rd Army have to do with our army? Our army's order is to recapture Zaoyang, or contain the enemy forces in Zaoyang, and cover the main force in Zaoyang East to retreat."
The communications staff officer was powerless and had to accept the order reluctantly.
Southwest of Zaoyang, Yehugou.
The Japanese commander Datian led a battalion to wait here for half the night, but still did not wait for the 78th Division.
The commander of the Daejeon regiment ordered: "It seems that the Chinese 78th Division will not come over, so we should withdraw."
At this time, a scout ran over and reported excitedly:
"Your Excellency, the commander of the regiment! A Chinese army is marching towards here, about a division."
The commander of the Daejeon regiment laughed and said, "It must be the 78th Division. Quick! Get ready for battle."
At the southwest entrance of Yehu Communication, a regiment of the vanguard of the 78th Division came to a standstill.
The commander of the regiment had fought for many years and was a regular student of the Whampoa Military Academy. He ordered:
"Captain of the Reconnaissance Company! Take some people over to scout. There may be an ambush in this dangerous area."
At this time, Wang Sheng rode over on his horse, pointed at the head of the 1st Regiment and shouted:
"Captain! Why don't the troops move forward?"
The commander of the first regiment said worriedly: "Commander! There is Yehugou ahead, I'm afraid there are Japanese ambushes."
Wang Sheng picked up the telescope and observed carefully, then shook his head and said, "Where is the ambush? The Japs want to defend Zaoyang, so it is impossible for them to run here from Zaoyang so early to set up an ambush. The whole army must rush to Zaoyang at full speed."
A regiment commander advised: "Commander! Why don't we send the reconnaissance company out to conduct reconnaissance before making a decision?"
Wang Sheng glared at him and scolded him, "If not even a bird is flying, how can the devils be lurking? Commander! Have you ever been to a military academy? How come this instructor doesn't recognize you?"
A regiment commander responded, "Return to the commander's seat! I am from the tenth batch of the Whampoa Military Academy, and I was a roommate of the former ace agent Xiang Chu."
Wang Sheng sneered, "Xiang Chu?! That agent who died in the hands of the devils can still be called an ace? What's your name? I will give you a serious warning."
A regiment commander said helplessly: "Return to the headquarters! My name is Su Yongqiang. There may be an ambush ahead. Don't advance rashly."
Wang Sheng shouted anxiously: "Su Yongqiang! Your regiment should stay at the back first and wait for the division commander to lead the troops across Yehugou before coming over. The division commander will lead the way for you. Coward!"
After saying this, he angrily led his troops into Yehugou.
The chief of staff of the regiment said worriedly: "Commander! You have offended the commander of the division. He will make things difficult for you in the future."
Su Yongqiang smiled bitterly and said, "The commander has been an instructor for too long. He is stubborn and self-righteous. He has no idea of the devil's cunning and sophisticated lurking methods. I hope he can learn a bloody lesson."
The chief of staff of the regiment nodded and said, "Yes! He is a stubborn instructor."
Soon, Wang Sheng led his troops to the northeast exit of Yehugou.
He excitedly ordered the communications staff: "Call Su Yongqiang and ask their regiment to come over quickly."
"Boom! Boom!"
Several Japanese mountain artillery shells flew over and landed among the Kuomintang officers and soldiers.
In the blink of an eye, a large number of national army officers and soldiers were killed or wounded.
Immediately, the sound of gunfire and the howling of the Japanese soldiers resounded throughout Yehugou.
"hiss!"
Wang Sheng's horse was shot and fell to the ground with a cry.
Wang Sheng was thrown off his horse and hurriedly ordered:
"Communications staff! Call the first regiment to come over and assist in the breakout."
"Yes!"
The communications staff officer hurriedly received the order.
With the support of Su Yongqiang's regiment, Wang Sheng led less than a thousand people to successfully break through.
He looked back at Yehugou and said bitterly, "These damn devils actually ambushed us at dawn."
Su Yongqiang suggested, "Commander! Let's retreat westward urgently."
Wang Sheng didn't like this leader and waved his hand:
"No! Let's go back to the northern base of Yicheng first, and then retreat westwards."
Su Yongqiang cried out in his heart: "Why send such an instructor to the front line?"
To the west of Zaoyang, Qingmu Lianhua led the 77th Division to retreat slowly.
Xiao Lin Zhiye smiled bitterly and said, "Chief of Staff! The commander wants us to rush to Yichang overnight. Can we go so slowly?"
Qing Mu Lianhua rolled her eyes at him and said angrily, "Gao Yang! Don't you understand why that old pervert Huang Baitao asked me to rush to Yichang?"
Xiao Lin Zhiye said with a smile: "He must be coveting your beauty and wants to monopolize you."
Qing Mu Lianhua sneered, "So this Chief of Staff refused to go over and played him around in circles."
At this time, the scout rode forward and reported loudly:
"Commander-in-Chief! Chief of Staff! There is a group of Japanese soldiers chasing us from behind. There are more than 10,000 of them."
Xiao Lin Zhi Ye never spoke and looked at the green wood lotus.
Qing Mu Lian Hua was surprised and asked, "So many people are coming?"
Xiaolin Zhihua received the telegram, handed it to her and whispered:
"Miss! This is the message from that country man."
Qing Mu Lian Hua received the message, and Doihara Kan'er said shamelessly: "Dear Qing Mu Lian Hua! I will bring 10,000 people to pursue you, just to see your beautiful face."
