Chapter 975 This record is definitely fake
The commander of the Japanese River Valley Brigade was sleeping soundly on the floor of the command post.
He heard the sound of water splashing and felt like he was dreaming about wetting the bed.
The bedding and sheets were wet, and I was soaked in water. I was awakened by a mouthful of water.
The underground chief of staff rushed into the command post, crying out in tears:
"Captain! A flash flood suddenly occurred in the valley and submerged our troops."
The captain of the River Valley Alliance shouted: "Hurry up and pull me up, I can't move."
The chief of staff underground hurriedly lifted the quilt and pulled him up.
The captain of the River Valley Lieutenant took up his saber and shouted:
"Quick! Order the entire army to break out while the flash flood breaks out."
The underground chief of staff pointed at his thigh and said, "Sir, the wing commander! Please put on your military uniform first."
The captain of the River Valley Alliance smiled bitterly and said, "I was so excited that I almost forgot. This is a godsend opportunity to break out."
He hurriedly put on his military uniform and exclaimed, "Mr. Jingxia! The water was knee-deep just now, but now it's up to my belly button. The water is rising too fast."
The underground chief of staff smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, the commander! You are so tall that you are almost up to my neck. I have to swim."
After saying this, the underground chief of staff swam out of the command post.
It was a little after 4 o'clock in the morning. It was pitch black everywhere, and the Japanese soldiers were howling everywhere.
Moreover, the Japanese army is not as good as the navy, and not everyone can swim.
Most of the Japanese soldiers who could not swim drowned.
The captain of the river valley roared: "Warriors of the empire! Don't panic, follow this captain and break out to the east of the valley."
The Japanese soldiers had undergone rigorous training and had good psychological qualities. They immediately gathered around the captain of the valley regiment without shouting or calling out.
The underground chief of staff pretended to be relaxed and shouted: "Gentlemen! The flash flood has brought many inconveniences, but it also gave us a chance to escape."
The leader of the Hegu Brigade took out a flashlight and looked around. He pointed to the east and shouted loudly: "Follow this chief of staff's flashlight and retreat to the east."
"Bang! Bang!" several sounds.
Several sniper bullets hit him and the Japanese soldiers around him.
The captain of the Valley Brigade fell into the water and died.
"Boom! Dadada!"
Artillery shells and bullets rained down on the Japanese soldiers trapped in the water.
It was inconvenient for the Japanese soldiers to dodge in the water, and countless of them were killed or injured in an instant.
The underground chief of staff and the Japanese soldiers hurriedly climbed to a high ground.
He raised his hands and shouted loudly to the starry sky: "Amaterasu! Since the Kanto Incident, this Chief of Staff has experienced countless battles, big and small, and killed countless Chinese. I hope you can have mercy on me and help me escape this disaster."
"Boom! Boom!"
Several shells flew over and landed on the high ground.
The Japs were so scared that they screamed and howled, but fortunately, the bomb did not explode.
A Japanese soldier smelled a particularly pungent odor and shouted:
"Who farted?"
The underground chief of staff shouted: "Quick! This is the Empire's poison gas bomb."
The reaction was too late, and hundreds or thousands of Japanese soldiers gathered together, leaving no time to evacuate.
Dense rain of bullets and artillery shells fell into the pile of Japanese soldiers, strangling their lives.
At the eastern entrance and exit of the Xiyang Valley, officers and soldiers of the 34th Division were on high alert.
Xiang Chu looked at the eastern sky and said thoughtfully:
"Chief of Staff! It will be daylight in half an hour. Let's go in and clean up the battlefield."
Gan Rong smiled and said, "Commander! I didn't expect this battle to be so easy."
Xiang Chu patted the dust off his shoulders and shook his head, "How can it be easy? You have been digging the water diversion channel all night."
Gan Rong said with lingering fear: "Commander! If the Japanese take advantage of our large army to dig a canal to break out, you and Wei Feng's guard company will be in trouble."
Wei Feng interrupted and said with a wry smile: "Chief of Staff! After you left, a battalion of Japanese reinforcements came from Zaoyang. The boss asked me to lead the guards to repel them."
Ma Fugui said with a smile: "Master Gan! At that time, there was only the commander on the battlefield, and I was sending and receiving messages in the command post."
"what?!"
Gan Rong was so shocked that he was stunned for a long time before he said,
"Commander! This is too risky."
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "It's okay! I'm sure the devils won't break through."
At this time, Liu Zhengxiong's voice came from the radio station of the command post nearby.
"Commander! It's daybreak. We should go into the valley and wipe out the Japs."
Xiang Chu walked into the command post, picked up the microphone and responded:
"Yes! To avoid casualties, cover with artillery fire and sweep with machine guns again."
Liu Zhengxiong asked weakly: "Should we capture some prisoners?!"
Xiang Chu said unhappily: "What do you think?"
Liu Zhengxiong said with a smile: "Boy! Just pretend I didn't say anything."
After saying this, he hung up the phone in a hurry.
Gan Rong shook his head and said, "Old Liu is more merciful than I am."
Xiang Chu ordered: "Chief of Staff! Let's also cover with artillery fire and machine gun fire, and start the action!"
"Yes!"
Gan Rong accepted the order with firmness.
At dawn, under the fierce attack of the 34th Division, the entire Japs River Valley Regiment embraced death.
The 34th Division dug another drainage canal and worked until ten o'clock in the morning to drain the flood water from the valley, and then picked up the spoils to their heart's content.
Chongqing, combat research conference room.
Because Commander Zhang died in the line of duty, the atmosphere was extremely solemn.
Commander Feng, who regarded Commander Zhang as a brother, said angrily:
"How did Minister Chen command the battle? He actually let Commander Zhang be surrounded by the Japanese."
Minister He explained, "Commander Feng! Minister Chen was ordered to take charge in a critical situation. Such a change has happened since he arrived at the front line. The various army groups failed to coordinate effectively, and the 77th Army Group has delayed its combat opportunities many times. This incident cannot be entirely blamed on Minister Chen."
Commander Feng became even angrier and asked, "Minister He! Didn't Minister Chen send troops to grab Commander Zhang's coffin?"
Minister Chen nodded and said, "Minister Chen sent Chu Xi to lead the 34th and 38th Divisions. There should be news soon."
Commander Feng was angry and said coldly: "Although Chu Xi played very well in Xiangbei, he has been abroad for a year. Can he be competent for such an important task?"
At this time, Ma Chunfang walked into the meeting room with a telegram folder.
Minister Chen was in a bad mood and waved his hand, saying, "Director Ma! Read it!"
Ma Chunfang unfolded the telegram folder and read: "Urgent report from the Fifth War Zone, Chu Xi used the strategy of luring the tiger away from the mountain to successfully transfer the heavy troops from Chenjiaji. The 38th Division has already recovered Commander Zhang's coffin and has safely transported it to Yichang."
The senior officials in the conference room cheered: "Great!"
After a while of cheering, the mood gradually calmed down.
Minister He saw that Ma Chunfang had not left yet and asked in confusion:
"Director Ma! Have you finished reading the message?"
Ma Chunfang nodded and said, "Yes! The Fifth War Zone has reported victory. Chu Xi led the 34th Division to defeat a regiment of Doihara Xianer's troops in Waitao Village in the Xieyue Valley of Qinglong Mountain in northern Hubei Province. In the Xieyang Valley, they completely wiped out the Hegu Regiment of the Doihara Division and killed the Japanese Major General Brigade Commander Kumamoto Erhe."
The meeting room was in complete silence; no one believed it.
Commander Feng asked in confusion: "Is this news true or false?"
Xu Zeng echoed, "That's right! Since the Zaoyi Campaign, there has not been a record of completely annihilating a single Japanese regiment."
Zeng Yun was deeply saddened by the death of an entire regiment of devils, and instinctively retorted: "As everyone knows, the 34th Division is just a garbage division. Even after Chu Xi's training, there are only people left."
Ma Chunfang reminded him, "Minister Zeng! The telegram said that the 34th Division, with 98 men, killed Japanese soldiers, with only wounded and no one killed."
The jealous senior officials cried out: "It's fake! This record is absolutely fake."
