Chapter 977: The Division's Bombardment
A hilarious scene took place outside the city of Xiangyang.
A broadsword, a green robe, a green hat, a chestnut horse, and a precious bow.
Doihara Kenji dressed up as Guan Gong and rode into the city.
Ananweiji led his officers to drink and have fun at the table on the city wall.
Suddenly seeing Doihara Kan'er dressed like this, he stood up and laughed at her.
"Yoshi! What a foolish general! He still boasts about losing so many soldiers and generals."
But Doihara Ken'er heard it, took out his bow and arrow and shot at him.
Unfortunately, the arrow was not powerful enough and didn't even hit the base of the city wall.
Ananwei led the Japanese officers and shouted:
"Yoshi! The number one fool in the empire."
"Haha! You are just an idiot pig and a stupid dog!"
Doihara Ken'er was furious. He brandished his sword and rode towards the city gate. Suddenly, he took out a bundle of grenades from his waist, pulled the fuse and threw them onto the city wall.
"Oh my god! It's the real deal."
Ananwei and other Japanese officers shouted together and fled in all directions.
For a moment, everyone was crying for their parents, looking extremely miserable. The scene was extremely chaotic.
However, the grenade thrown by Doihara Kenji did not explode, only emitted blue smoke.
Doihara Kenji ran up to the city wall like the wind, carrying an 82-kilogram sword. With a flick of his sword, the wine table was split in half.
Then, he picked up the smoking grenades, put the lids back on, put them back to his waist, raised the knife high again, and was about to chop at Ananweiji.
Ananweiji had long arms, big ears and a big guts, so he was not afraid of Doihara Ken'er. He shouted angrily: "Doihara Ken'er! If you dare to cut this major general, you must die."
Doihara Ken'er yelled loudly, "Big-eared thief! Try to stab Grandpa Guan."
Ananwei was shocked and said, "Big-eared thief? Could it be that Doihara Xian'er has gone crazy?"
His chief of staff said hurriedly: "Mr. Commander! There is no legal responsibility for a mentally ill person who kills someone."
Ananwei was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. He took five steps back, suddenly pulled out his pistol, and sneered, "Doihara Xian'er! This is not the era of cold weapons. You'd better put down your rusty sword."
Doihara Kan'er put down his sword and sneered, "'Big Ear Thief'! In the famous Xiangyang City, you should fight me like a warrior, not draw your gun like a coward. I have investigated and found that you come from a samurai family. Don't you think it is a shame to draw a gun?"
Ananwei was so angry that he yelled, "Baga! I want to compete with you in swordplay, no! In judo."
Doihara Ken'er thrust his knife into the crack of the stone under his feet, threw his robe away in a chic manner, made a horse stance, and said contemptuously: "Anan! My judo skills have never met an opponent except for the shadow machine that likes to attack by surprise. Come on!"
“Hoo-ha-ha!”
Ananweiji also showed off a move, and rushed forward to fight with Doihara Kenji.
The two men fought back and forth on the city wall, sometimes hugging each other and wrestling, sometimes fighting each other, and the fight was very fierce.
At this time, a Japanese intelligence lieutenant ran over and reported loudly:
"Your Excellency, Commander Anan! Your Excellency, Commander Doihara! The Army Aviation Corps reports that their reconnaissance aircraft has discovered the whereabouts of the 34th Division, which is crossing the Han River at Guan Gong Ferry. Please send troops to destroy it immediately."
Doihara Kan'ei originally wanted to annihilate the 34th Division, but when he heard that Ananweiji's name was ranked before his, he seemed to be ignored and not the main person in charge, so he continued to fight without saying a word.
When Ananwei heard that it was the 34th Division, he knew it was the old enemy of Doihara Kenji, so he pretended not to hear it.
The intelligence lieutenant was anxious and shouted loudly: "Two division commanders! The Army Aviation reconnaissance plane reports that the Chinese 34th Division is about to cross Guan Gong Ferry."
Ananwei said angrily, "Lieutenant! Why don't we just ask the Army Aviation to send out all its planes to bomb them?"
He was distracted and was tripped by Doihara Ken'e and fell to the ground.
Doihara Kenji rushed over, pinned him down, and laughed, "Yoshi! I won."
Ananweiji roared: "Doihara Kan'er! Commander Sonobe River sent you to Xiangyang to destroy the 34th Division. How dare you not stop them?"
Doihara Ken'er slapped him in the face, stood up and said contemptuously: "You are a defeated general! I will lead the army to the battle and destroy the Chinese 34th Division at Guan Gong Ferry.
No! Why didn't the Imperial agents lurking in the 34th Division send a signal? "
Ananweiji sneered, "Nonsense! Do you have agents infiltrating the 34th Division?"
Doihara Xian'er didn't point at him and asked, "Lieutenant! Where is Guan Gong Ferry?"
At this moment, a long red flare streaked across the sky not far away.
The intelligence lieutenant quickly pointed in the direction of the flare and said, "It's right where the red flare was sent."
Doihara Xian'er was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Yoshi! I will make the 34th Division be destroyed at Guan Gong Ferry."
He drew his machete and turned toward the stairs.
"Bang!" There was a sound.
Ananwei used all his strength and kicked him away.
Doihara Ken'er rolled down the stairs of the city wall and fell to the bottom of the city.
With a bruised face and nose, Kenji Doihara got up in rage, took out a row of real grenades from his waist, pulled the fuses hard, and threw them onto the city wall.
Ananweiji and his Japanese officers laughed loudly:
"Fake! This fat pig is throwing smoke bombs again."
"Boom!"
There was a loud earth-shaking noise from inside the city wall.
Ananwei and other Japanese officers were all killed in the explosion.
Doihara Kan'er woke up instantly and rushed to the city wall, where he saw blood and flesh flying everywhere, a horrible sight, and no one was left alive.
He picked up Ananweiji's broken arm, immediately took off the ring and watch on his hand and put them on himself, admiring them beautifully.
At this time, Takahashi Taisho ran up to the tower and exclaimed, "Your Excellency the fake general! What on earth is going on here?"
Doihara pointed in the direction of Guan Gong Ferry and said with tears in his eyes: "Alas! It was the Chinese 34th Division that bombarded it. Taisho! Immediately send an order to all troops to follow me to Guan Gong Ferry to destroy the Chinese 34th Division and avenge Ananweiji."
After saying this, he wiped away his tears, ran down the tower like the wind, picked up his sword, jumped on his horse, ran out of the Xiangyang city gate, and shouted loudly: "Warriors of the empire! Charge to Guan Gong Ferry, swear to destroy the Chinese 34th Division, and avenge the officers who died in the Anan Division."
His performance was first-rate, and the Japanese soldiers believed it to be true.
It took Takahashi Taisho a long time to come back to his senses. He hurried down the tower and rode his horse to catch up with him. He kept muttering in his heart: "Guan Gong Ferry is ten miles away from here. Can the Chinese 34th Division have artillery to fire so far?"
Inside Xiangyang City, on the top of Yanshan Mountain.
Xiang Chu had led the 34th Division to cross the Han River overnight and enter Yanshan.
He looked back at the Han River flowing from north to south below him and said with a wry smile:
"Old Liu! The Japanese bombers and Doihara Kenji's troops haven't arrived yet. If we had known earlier, we would have crossed the Han River directly from Guan Gong Ferry. There would be no need to march in the middle of the night and take such a hard detour to cross the river upstream."
Liu Zhengxiong pointed to the sky in the south and said, "It's right to work hard. If we hadn't sneaked through the gaps in the Japanese troops in the middle of the night, it would have been difficult for us to cross the Han River safely. Look! The Japanese bombers are coming, bombing Guan Gong Ferry immediately."
Gan Rong reminded: "Commander! The Guards Company should have retreated from Guan Gong Ferry."
Xiang Chu nodded and ordered Ma Fugui: "Fugui! Inform Wei Feng that the guard company should set up the scene at Guan Gong Ferry and retreat immediately."
"Yes!"
Ma Fugui hurriedly accepted the order.
