Chapter 970 I'm Too Excellent
Matsui Gohachi was controlled by militarist ideology and was not afraid of death. He sneered:
"Chinese spies! Your generals have been killed by the imperial army, and your Chongqing will soon be captured by the imperial army. You'd better surrender to me and I will grant you high positions and generous salaries."
Lan Cheng shouted angrily: "Little devil! You dare to lure your grandfather to surrender? You are seeking death!"
Hu Changsheng waved his hand and said, "Lan Cheng! Don't worry about him. Leave him to the boss and hypnotize him to get all his secrets out."
Matsui Gohachi exclaimed: "Could your boss be the hypnotist Xiang Chu?"
Lan Cheng sneered, "Yes! Are you afraid?"
"Long live the boss!"
Matsui Gohachi shouted loudly, gritted his teeth, tilted his head and died.
The shadow spy who just ran in laughed and said, "He was frightened by the commander and committed suicide by taking poison."
Hu Changsheng asked: "Ai Hai! Where is the Japanese regiment now?"
Ai Hai said anxiously: "The brother in front reported that we are only five miles away from the valley entrance."
Hu Changsheng nodded and ordered: "Lan Cheng! Send a telegram to the commander. A regiment of the Japanese army has left Chenjiaji and is five miles away from the entrance of Xieyang Valley. Ai Hai! Let the brothers light a bonfire in the valley."
"Yes!"
Lan Cheng and Ai Hai hurriedly accepted the order.
As night falls, the land of northern Hubei is still immersed in the sound of gunfire.
To the southeast of the Setting Sun Valley, the 34th Division was marching at a rapid pace.
Xiang Chu and Liu Zhengxiong rode side by side at the back of the team.
Liu Zhengxiong asked, "Boy! Can Doihara Ken'er transfer Kumamoto Erhe to lead the regiment away from Chenjiaji?"
Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "Doihara Xian'er's thinking is different from others, so it's hard to judge. You say east and he leans west. He acts entirely based on his senses and cunning."
Liu Zhengxiong said unhappily, "I think you are not much different from him."
Xiang Chu scolded: "Do some people still want to go to the Anti-Japanese University for further study?"
Liu Zhengxiong said hurriedly: "Yes! Of course I do. I will immediately take back my disrespect for you."
Xiang Chu said thoughtfully: "However, Doihara Xian'er is eager to take revenge on the 34th Division, and he is worried that Kumamoto Erhe will seize his power. He will not miss the opportunity to kill two birds with one stone and will definitely send Kumamoto Erhe to attack."
Liu Zhengxiong asked with a smile: "What if Doihara Ken'er is so evil that he refuses to send Kumamoto Nigawa?"
Xiang Chu said without hesitation: "Then we must attack Chenjiaji at night and take back Commander Zhang's coffin."
Liu Zhengxiong said thoughtfully: "In fact, in my opinion, Doihara Xian'er must be worried that we will attack Chenjiaji at night and wipe out his troops, so he will definitely transfer them to Kumamoto Erhe."
At this time, Ma Fugui reported loudly: "Commander! Hu Changsheng called and said that a regiment of the Japanese had left Chenjiaji and was five miles away from the Xieyang Valley."
Liu Zhengxiong smiled and said, "See! I got it right."
Xiang Chu nodded and ordered: "Fugui! Call the commander of the 38th Division, Huang, and tell him that the Japanese regiment has left Chenjiaji. Your unit should immediately launch a night attack and take back the coffin of Commander Zhang."
"Yes!"
Ma Fugui accepted the order with firmness.
Liu Zhengxiong said worriedly: "Boy! Even if Kumamoto Erhe leads a group of Japanese soldiers into the Xiyang Valley, we can't defeat him with so few people."
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "I have already telegraphed Minister Chen to request reinforcements. We just need to drive them into the valley and block the eastern exit. Other divisions will block the western exit."
Liu Zhengxiong nodded and said, "Yes! We have more troops in the west. We can just mobilize a few divisions to block the exit. The Kumamoto Erhe Japanese regiment will have no way to escape. We have made a great contribution again."
Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "Old Liu! Actually, my goal is not to annihilate the Kumamoto Erhe Regiment, but to take back Commander Zhang's coffin."
Liu Zhengxiong nodded and said, "I know! You are just trying to catch rabbits by raking grass."
Xiang Chu said thoughtfully: "However, based on Doihara Xian'er's strategy, he should have known that we would do this. Could it be that he is really afraid of casualties in the army?"
Zaoyang, Doihara Division Command Post.
Doihara Kenji was holding a tortoise shell and copper coins, showing off the divination skills he had just learned on the street.
The Japanese Lieutenant Commander Kita, Lieutenant Commander Ota, Battalion Commander Yamada and others were watching from the side, all with an expression of disbelief on their faces.
Lieutenant Kita couldn't help but say, "Your Excellency the Division Commander! Since you have already used divination to get the brigade commander Kumamoto to lead the regiment out of Chenjiaji, why do you need divination again?"
Doihara Kenji rolled his eyes at him, smiled slyly and said, "I would like to predict whether the commander of the Kumamoto Brigade can annihilate the 34th Division of China."
The commander of the Datian regiment shook his head and said, "Division Commander, you don't need to use divination. The 34th Chinese Division must have escaped in advance. Haha!"
Doihara Kan'er pointed at Captain Yamada and said, "Yamada-kun! Ota-kun! Please swap your positions."
Captain Yamada said with great gratitude: "Thank you for the promotion, Commander. Yamada will serve you at your utmost."
Captain Oota shouted: "No! This captain will not exchange positions with Captain Yamada."
Doihara Ken'er said coldly: "My divination skills are unrivaled in the world. You dare to question them. You must be demoted."
After he finished speaking, he muttered something, shook the tortoise shell violently, threw out the copper coin, and laughed:
"I just divined that Takahashi Taisho led the Pinggu Regiment to capture Xiangyang City. Quick! Send a telegram to Takahashi Taisho to ask if it worked."
At this time, the Japanese radio operator excitedly reported:
"Your Excellency, the division commander! The Pinggu Regiment reports that they fought hard and captured Xiangyang City."
The Japanese soldiers exclaimed: "Is the division commander's divination really so effective?!"
Doihara Kenji was full of confidence and laughed loudly, "Wow! I am a master of literature, military affairs, history, food, etc., and now I am also a master of divination. I am so outstanding."
The Japanese commander Kita boasted: "Your Excellency the Division Commander! You should also be a master of espionage, philosophy, and aesthetics."
Doihara Ken'er was so proud that he ordered, "Signature soldier! Report this information immediately to the headquarters, the 11th Army Headquarters, Miss Aoki Renhua, Section Chief Minamizo Yunko, and the fat girl from Zangjiacun."
The radio operator smiled bitterly and said, "Your Excellency, Division Commander! Is the fat girl from Zangjia Village an Imperial agent?"
Doihara Ken'er was startled, then rolled his eyes and said, "Yes! She is also a female agent who admires me very much. Fatty is her code name."
The Japanese captain Datian pleaded, "Your Excellency the division commander! You have made such great contributions. Can you reinstate Datian?"
Doihara Kan'er teased him, "Captain Ota! If Kumamoto Niiga dies on the battlefield, you will take over his position."
The Japanese captain Ota cried and said, "How could the commander of the brigade, Kumamoto, die on the battlefield with so many imperial warriors protecting him? Please ask the division commander to withdraw the order."
Doihara Kenji nodded and said, "Okay! I will take back my order. If Kumamoto Nihei dies on the battlefield, it means that the River Valley Regiment he led was also ambushed."
At this time, the radio operator reported loudly:
"Your Excellency, Division Commander! Brigade Commander Kumamoto called to report that the squadron he left in Chenjiaji was attacked by the 38th Division of China at night. He requested to withdraw to Chenjiaji."
Doihara Kenji waved his hand and said, "No! Order the commander of the Kumamoto Brigade to rush into the Sunset Valley and destroy the main force of the 34th Division to avenge the deaths of the brave warriors of my division."
"Hello!"
The Japanese radio operator hurriedly received the order.
Doihara Ken'er clenched his fist and slammed it on the location of the Sunset Valley on the map, roaring loudly:
"China 34th Division! This day next year will be the anniversary of your death. Haha!"
