Chapter 971 About to reach the peak of life
Sunset Valley, east entrance and exit.
Kumamoto Jihe led the Valley Regiment here and stopped.
The commander of the Hegu Regiment asked in confusion: "Your Excellency, the brigade commander! There is a bonfire in the valley, indicating that the 34th Chinese Division is indeed in it. Why are they not moving forward?"
Kumamoto Nihe shook his head and said, "For some reason, this brigade commander has a feeling that there is an ambush in the valley."
At this time, the Japanese radio operator reported loudly:
"Your Excellency the Brigade Commander! The Division Commander ordered our troops to enter the valley immediately and annihilate the evil Chinese 34th Division."
Kumamoto Nigawa smiled bitterly and said, "Kawatani-kun! It seems that our pseudo-general has been angered by the Chinese 34th Division."
The commander of the Hegu regiment nodded and said, "Indeed! It's the evil 34th Division, which shows how much he hates it. But if we refuse to follow his orders, I'm afraid we will not be able to withstand his wrath."
Kumamoto Erhe nodded and ordered: "Radio operator! Report to the division commander, I'm afraid there is an ambush in the Sunset Valley. Our army should not go deep into it alone."
"Hello!"
The Japanese radio operator hurriedly received the order and sent a telegram to the division command post.
Soon, I received a reply from the division command post:
"The division commander has gone to the bathroom. Reply later."
Kumamoto Erhe sneered and said, "The division commander spends half a day in the bathroom. Now we have to wait after sending the message, otherwise he will be furious when he comes out."
The River Valley commander asked with a grin, "Brigade Commander! Why did he stay in the bathroom for so long?"
Kumamoto Erhe shook his head and said, "He likes to breathe different air. Let's wait patiently."
The captain of the River Valley League sighed and said, "What kind of hobby is this? Alas!"
In the distant mountains and forests, Xiang Chu and Liu Zhengxiong were staring at the Kumamoto Erhe Japanese Invasion Regiment.
Liu Zhengxiong smiled bitterly and said, "Commander! It seems that Kumamoto Erhe is not stupid and will not enter the valley."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "It feels a bit mysterious! This guy is too cautious, I have to think of some tricks."
Liu Zhengxiong said angrily: "Hu Changsheng and his men lit so many bonfires, but they couldn't lure the devils. What else can you do?"
Xiang Chu looked at the fake Japanese squad not far away and ordered:
"Lao Liu! You lead a regiment to chase Jiang Datou's group of fake devils into the Sunset Valley. I will play the role of Han Li and send a message to Doihara Xian'er, asking Kumamoto Erhe to lead the regiment to go in for the rescue."
Liu Zhengxiong smiled and said, "Good idea! But isn't it a bit too much for me to lead a group?"
Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "Not much! You are responsible for blocking the western exit of Xieyang Valley, and you may not have enough troops."
Liu Zhengxiong asked in confusion: "Didn't you ask Minister Chen for reinforcements to block the west exit? There's no way it's not enough."
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "Minister Chen took over in a hurry, and the various army groups are in a great retreat. How can it be so easy to send troops to turn around and besiege the Japanese?"
Liu Zhengxiong said in annoyance: "If I had known earlier, I would have brought all the people from the 34th Division out. There would be no way these people could accomplish anything."
Xiang Chu patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "There are only about 3,000 people left in this Japanese regiment. If we fight well, our 5,000 elite soldiers can destroy it. Go quickly!"
"Yes!"
Liu Zhengxiong hurriedly accepted the order.
He first discussed with Jiang Datou and immediately put Xiang Chu's strategy into practice.
A regiment chased the fake Japanese squad and entered the valley with great fanfare.
At the same time, Xiang Chu sent a telegram to Doihara Ken'er in the name of Han Li.
"Chief! To help you, the great man, we are playing the role of the Imperial Army and have completely led the 34th Division into the Sunny Valley. Please quickly send the Imperial Army to annihilate them. Bamboo Spy Han Li!"
Zaoyang City, Doihara Division Headquarters.
Doihara Kenji's feet were numb from squatting, and he finally returned to the command post from the bathroom.
The radio operator hurriedly reported loudly: "Your Excellency the Division Commander! Your bamboo spy called and pretended to be the Imperial Army and led the 34th Division into the Sunny Valley. Please send troops to wipe them out."
Doihara Kenji took the telegram and read it. He touched his chin with his hand and said in a skeptical tone, "Is this true or false?"
Captain Oota, who had just been demoted, was eager for Kumamoto Nihe to enter the valley and fight the 34th Division, preferably if he died in battle so that he could take over.
He rolled his eyes and said solemnly: "Your Excellency, the division commander! I think it is true. Who would joke with his own life?"
Doihara Kan'er shook his head and said, "No! We should ask Kumamoto Nihe whether this is true."
At this time, the radio operator received the message and reported loudly: "Your Excellency the Division Commander! The commander of the Kumamoto Brigade called and said that a regiment of the Chinese army was chasing a squad of the Imperial Army and entered the Xiyang Valley. Should we pursue them?"
Doihara Kenji was overjoyed and ordered, "Quick! Order the commander of the Kumamoto brigade to pursue them at all costs."
"Hello!"
The Japanese radio operator hurriedly received the order.
Captain Datian said excitedly: "Yoshi! That's great."
Doihara Kenji said angrily, "Ota-kun! What are you so happy about?"
Captain Ota said sternly: "Your Excellency the Division Commander! Please lead the regiment to the Sunset Valley to help Brigade Commander Kumamoto annihilate the Chinese 34th Division."
Doihara Xian'er shook his head and said, "No! Your current position is the captain, you can only lead a team."
Captain Datian said bitterly: "Mr. Division Commander! May I ask if what you said counts?"
Doihara Kan'er shouted, "This general has a golden rule and it is absolutely binding."
Captain Datian said excitedly: "Yoshi! Datian will lead the brigade to fight and will definitely destroy the Chinese 34th Division."
After saying this, he rushed out of the command post like the wind.
Doihara Kan'er wondered, "Why is this guy so excited?"
Lieutenant Commander Yamada reminded, "Your Excellency the Division Commander! You said that if Commander Kumamoto Nihe dies in battle, Captain Ota will take over."
Doihara Ken'er lied with his eyes wide open and shook his head, "No! I absolutely did not say such a thing. You can all testify to that."
The devils in the command post couldn't stand seeing others doing well, and said in unison:
"Yes! You didn't say that."
Doihara Kan'er said with great pride: "Yoshi! I have successfully strangled the Chinese general and occupied the important town of Xiangyang. Now I am going to annihilate the old enemy, the Chinese 34th Division. I am about to reach the peak of my life."
Captain Yamada handed over the Baiyunbian wine and said with a smile:
"Your Excellency, the division commander! When life is good, you should enjoy it to the fullest. Please drink the beautiful wine from Li Bai's poem - Baiyunbian."
Doihara Xian'er took the wine and asked in confusion, "Baiyunbian?! Is this really the fine wine that Li Bai drank?"
Captain Yamada took out another bottle, opened the lid, and said with a smile, "Yes! It is said that drinking it can also help you write poetry and become a great poet like Li Bai."
Doihara Xianer raised his bottle to clink with hers and said shamelessly: "Yoshi! I will become the greatest poet in the empire and be liked by more and more women. Cheers!"
The commander of the regiment, Yamada, flattered, "Chels! I wish the general to annihilate the 34th Division of China and be promoted to the commander of the front army."
Doihara Kan'er shook his head and said, "The commander of the front is nothing! My target is the Imperial Army Marshal."
After saying this, he drank a bottle of Baiyunbian wine in one breath and began to recite poems while dancing...
Sunset Valley, east entrance and exit.
Kumamoto Erhe finally led the Valley Brigade into the Sunset Valley and slowly fell into the arms of death.
