Chapter 1007: Going to North China as a Suppression Envoy
Ishiba Xiong said bitterly: "I never thought that Doihara Ken'er would betray his country to the enemy."
Qing Mu Lian Hua nodded and said, "Yeah! I almost blamed the Shadow Agency Chief by mistake."
At this time, the orderly reported outside the door.
"Commander! Today's newspaper."
Shi Poxiong opened the door, took the newspaper and flipped through it casually.
The headline on the front page was an article signed by Kenji Doihara: Shocking Scandal! The Daji aide of the 11th Army Commander Sonobe Kawaichiro!
Shi Poxiong hurriedly said to the orderly: "Hurry! Go buy another copy of Ta Kung Pao."
"Yes!"
The orderly hurriedly took the order.
Shi Poxiong closed the door, handed the newspaper to Qing Mu Lian Hua, and said with a wry smile:
"Miss! It seems that Sonobe Kawaichiro and Doihara Kenji are fighting each other."
Qing Mu Lianhua took the newspaper and shook her head, saying, "This Sonobe Kawaichiro is actually eating grass in his own backyard. He has pictures and the truth, slandering the pseudo-General Doihara and driving him into the Yangtze River. It's crazy."
Shi Poxiong sneered and said: "No wonder the 11th Army has been unable to enter Chongqing. The commander's mind is always on women."
Qing Mu Lianhua rolled her eyes at him and ordered, "At present, the 77th Army only has the 79th Division in Yichang City and the defeated soldiers of various divisions, plus the remnants of the 78th Division outside the city. We must firmly grasp them.
You must immediately order the 78th Division to return to Yichang for rest and recuperation and not engage in further battle with the imperial army."
"Hello!"
Shi Po Xiong bowed and accepted the order.
Zhijiang, right bank of the Agate River.
Liu Zhengxiong led a division of the 34th Army and built a defense line with the remnants of the 1th Division.
After the rescue at Liyutan, breaking through the blockade of Qixingtai, and fighting side by side during the retreat, the two armies have forged a deep friendship.
At this time, Liu Zhengxiong, Guo Fang and Su Yongqiang were studying combat operations in the command post.
Guo Fang said worriedly: "Commander Liu! We have less than 1 people in total, and the Japanese have one division and one brigade. We will definitely not be able to hold the Agate River defense line."
Liu Zhengxiong said disapprovingly: "Don't worry! Our commander led two divisions to destroy the fake 2th Division in Xiangxi and is rushing here. He will be here soon."
Wei Feng reminded, "Commander! The Japanese Shanlei Division only has less than one brigade, and the Nokura Brigade has also been crippled by us."
Liu Zhengxiong said unhappily, "I know this, and there is no need to remind you so clearly."
At this time, Lan Cheng reported: "Commander! The commander is going to Yichang for a meeting and will not send troops. The Agate River defense line is not defensible. I will let you and the 78th Division block the enemy for a while and then retreat.
Retreat to Xiaoting to join the Chief of Staff and block the enemy's westward advance."
Liu Zhengxiong shouted, "This kid is really unkind. How can he just say no?"
Su Yongqiang smiled and said, "Commander Liu! You used to be an old man in the Military Intelligence Department. I wonder if you know this person?"
Liu Zhengxiong said domineeringly and angrily: "Except Xiang Chu, I know everyone else. You can ask them."
Su Yongqiang smiled bitterly and said, "I asked my military school classmate Xiang Chu where he died. I want to go and pay my respects to him."
Liu Zhengxiong smiled bitterly and said, "Ah?! Want to worship him?"
Wei Feng, Lan Cheng and others all opened their mouths wide, stunned.
At this time, Su Yongzhuang rushed into the command post and said anxiously: "Chief of Staff! Brother! The commander asked us to return to Yichang as soon as possible to rest and replenish troops to prepare for the defense of Yichang."
Guo Fang looked at Liu Zhengxiong and said helplessly: "Commander Liu! I'm so sorry."
Liu Zhengxiong waved his hand and said, "Good brother! Why are you apologizing? You go ahead, and when the Japanese come, we will bite them hard and then retreat immediately."
Guo Fang and the other two saluted and said loudly: "Commander Liu! See you later."
Liu Zhengxiong returned the greeting and nodded, saying, "Good brother! See you later."
Located in the west of Wuhan, a major transportation hub.
Doihara Kan'ei led his troops here and blocked the intersection to the west.
All guns were loaded with bullets and artillery were ready to fire.
Takahashi Taisho led a row of chariots to block the middle of the road, as if he was determined to block the road.
In the east, Yamabe Shintaka led his troops and drove over from Wuhan city in a rolling stream.
He underestimated the enemy and sent only an understaffed brigade to the front line, which was harassed and beaten by the troops led by Liu Zhengxiong and Guo Fang, and was forced to stop moving forward.
The front-line troops were fighting unfavorably, and Yamawabe Shintaka was angrily criticized by Sonobe Kawaichiro, who was eager to make a contribution. He was forced to rush to the front line as soon as possible to capture Yichang.
When Shanlie Zhenlong saw a "roadblock" ahead, he immediately got out of the car to inquire about the situation.
Takahashi Taisho came over with a pile of newspapers in his hands and said with a smile:
"Captain of the Yamabe Division! General Doihara has ordered that everyone passing by must buy a newspaper and read his signed article before leaving, otherwise they will be killed."
Yamabe Shintaka waved his hand and said, "Don't look! The commander of our division must lead the troops to the front line as quickly as possible."
Takahashi Taisho said with a smile: "If you don't read it, you will never be able to pass this blockade."
Shanbei Zhenlong was so anxious that he jumped up and down, roaring loudly: "Bullshit blockade, get out of the way immediately, otherwise the commander of this division will order the troops to open fire."
Doihara Kan'er, who was in the tank behind, heard his rampant roar and shouted through the loud speaker: "Kwantung Army! It's time to show your extraordinary combat power. If this bastard division dares to break through, kill them without mercy!"
The Japanese Kwantung Army boasted of being an ace army and looked down upon the Japanese soldiers inside the pass, so they immediately prepared for battle.
Yamabe Shintaka bet that Doihara Ken'er wouldn't dare to fire a gun, so he shouted loudly:
"Brave warriors of the 11th Army! Forget about the damn Kwantung Army, break through the blockade."
Doihara Kenji was so angry that he stomped his foot hard.
"Boom!" a sound.
A shell flew out, whistling past Shanbie Zhenlong's scalp.
"Mom!"
Shanbie Zhenlong was so scared that he fell to the ground, his body still shaking.
His chief of staff rushed over to help him up and suggested, "Your Excellency the division commander! Why are you arguing with that scoundrel Doihara? It's just a newspaper. It won't be too late to leave after you finish reading it."
Yamawa Shintaka said angrily, "What if we waste time and Commander Sonobekawa blames us?"
The Japanese Chief of Staff smiled and said, "Of course, put all the blame on Doihara Kenji, and give Commander Sonobe River a chance to file a complaint against Doihara Kenji."
Yamabe Shintaka was overjoyed and nodded, saying, "Yoshi! Buy all the newspapers quickly and read them slowly. Then send a telegram to the commander and tell him that Doihara Kan'er intercepted our army and prevented us from going to the front line to fight."
"Hello!"
The Japanese Chief of Staff quickly accepted the order and asked Takahashi Taisho with a smile,
"Lieutenant Colonel! How much is your newspaper?"
Takahashi Taisho followed Doihara Kan'er's price and said shamelessly:
"General Tu's writings are precious, a newspaper costs one hundred yuan."
The Japanese chief of staff exclaimed: "One hundred dollars?!"
But Shanlie Zhenlong said hurriedly, "Okay! One hundred yuan is one hundred yuan. How much is it in total? Give me a receipt."
Takahashi Taisho said excitedly: "One hundred newspapers, only ten thousand dollars. You pay and I'll write you a receipt."
Yamarabe Shintaka asked his attendant to pay the money, and when he got the receipt, he immediately held it up and laughed:
"Doihara Kan'er! You intercepted the troops heading to the front and blackmailed the commander of our division with 100 yuan for a newspaper. The commander of our division wants to sue Commander Sonobe River, the Imperial Headquarters, and the great leader. Let's see what you can do!"
Doihara Kan'er didn't expect that he was being tricked. He jumped out of the car and rushed to Yamarabe Shinro at lightning speed. He snatched the receipt from his hand, took a look at it, and put it in his mouth.
His movements were so fast that Shanlie Zhenlong was stunned.
Doihara Kan'er had achieved his goal of making money, causing trouble, and seeking revenge, and he shouted:
"Enough teeth! Go to North China to serve as a suppressive envoy."
After saying this, he jumped into the chariot and drove away with his troops.
Shan Lie Zhenlong was so angry that he roared: "Baga! Doihara fat pig! The commander of this division must lead the army to capture Chongqing, China, and be promoted to the rank of general, and then trample you under his feet."
