Chapter 1008 I'm Waiting for My Man
South of Xiaoting is Shamao Mountain.
The Yangtze River makes two right angles here and the water flow slows down a lot.
If you want to cross the river to the other side, this is a good crossing.
Xiang Chu led his troops to stay here and guard the southern gate of Yichang.
The 34th Army's command post was located in a cave, and the troops were spread across the mountains.
They blocked the riverside highway and mountain passes leading westward, and made preparations for a decisive battle with the Japanese.
Song Xi praised: "Brother! All the troops are retreating, but we are blocking them step by step. It's really not easy."
Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "No! What we saw were mainly the defeated soldiers of the 77th Army. The other troops were still blocking the way like us."
At this time, Ma Fugui reported: "Commander! Supervisor! The war zone called and specially merged the remnants of the 77th Division of the 78th Army into our 34th Army to replenish our troops."
Xiang Chu said happily: "Sure! Minister Chen knows the front line very well and has done a good thing for the 34th Army."
Song Xi smiled and said, "You fell asleep last night, and I sent a telegram to Minister Chen to give suggestions. The 78th Division is actually quite capable, but it is useless under Huang Baitao."
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "So it was my good wife who took action."
Song Xi put on his military cap and said with a smile, "Let's go! It's time for us to go to Sanyou Cave."
Xiang Chu nodded and ordered Gan Rong: "Chief of Staff! Tell Lao Liu that the 78th Division is now under our army, and we will fight with him. Fugui! Send a telegram to Commander Liu immediately, and let him be responsible for commanding the 78th Division and appoint Guo Fang as the division commander."
"Yes!"
Gan Rong and Ma Fugui hurriedly accepted the order.
On the banks of the Agate River, the remnants of the 78th Division were breaking camp and setting up camp.
Ai Hai received the telegram from Ma Fugui and reported loudly:
"Commander! The commander called and said that the 78th Division has been assigned to our army. I will let you command the 78th Division and appoint Guo Fang as the division commander."
Liu Zhengxiong was overjoyed and hurriedly ordered: "Wei Feng! Go and call Guo Fang and tell him that the 78th Division has been assigned to our 34th Army and appoint him as the division commander."
"Commander! No need to shout, I have also received orders from the army group."
Guo Fang's voice rang out, and he and Su Yongqiang walked into the command post.
Yichang City, residence of the commander of the 77th Army Group.
After sending the telegram to the 78th Division, Qingmu Lianhua said bitterly:
"Minister Chen is too biased. Why did he merge our 78th Division into the 34th Army? It must be that vixen Ning Caiwei's doing."
Shi Poxiong put on the lieutenant general's uniform, wrapped a circle of bombs around his waist, and sneered:
"Miss! The 77th Army is already crippled, so it doesn't matter if we give them all to the 34th Army. I'll blow up the theater command center right now, and let Minister Chen, Ning Caiwei and other command center personnel all fly into the sky."
Qing Mu Lianhua said solemnly: "Shi Pojun! For the sake of the imperial holy war, Zhong Zengyun and I must continue to lurk until victory.
You can’t just go there and start bombing, you have to create conflict first and then take action.”
Shi Poxiong nodded and said with a smile: "Miss! If my subordinates destroy the Fifth War Zone Command of China and can escape unscathed, can you reward them?"
Qing Mu Lianhua nodded and said, "Of course I will reward you with the Red Sun Medal, ten gold bars, and a property in Tokyo."
But Shi Poxiong said shamelessly: "No! I don't care about those things, I just admire you all the time. If I can spend a night with you, it will be worth it to hide in the rear of China for so many years."
Qing Mu Lianhua boasted of her noble birth, so she didn't look down on this guy. However, in order to let him carry out the death mission, she deliberately smiled and said, "Okay! I promise you, go quickly and come back soon!"
"Hello!"
Shi Poxiong took the order excitedly, turned around and ran out of the room.
Qing Mu Lianhua's face was as hard as iron, and he said bitterly in his heart:
"This lady doesn't like any man except the noble Fujiwara no Daisuke and the head of the Kage Agency."
At this time, the radio transmission sounded.
She hurriedly transcribed and translated the message.
Zeng Yun called: "Qiao'er! Since Shi Poxiong has carried out the suicide mission, you can no longer stay in the 77th Army. Submit your resignation immediately and leave Yichang and return to Chongqing. Uncle Zeng Yun!"
Qing Mu Lianhua was reminded and quickly replied to the telegram:
"Uncle! Qiao'er has arranged for the staff to arrive and will do as ordered immediately."
Zeng Yun replied: "The higher-ups are going to completely disband the 77th Army and merge it into the 34th Army. You should let Gao Gu join the 79th Division as a confidential staff officer and get to know the confidential intelligence of the 34th Army."
At this moment, the phone in the room rang.
Qingmu Lianhua hurriedly replied to the message and answered the phone.
Huang Shan's frivolous voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Chief of Staff! I heard that our army group is going to be disbanded and the commander will definitely be transferred to another army group. If you become the army commander, can I be your adjutant?"
Qing Mu Lianhua felt that this guy was committing a crime of insubordination, which was too outrageous, so she deliberately angered him by saying, "I am going back to Chongqing to marry Chu Xi, and I don't care about the 77th Army anymore."
"what?!"
Huang Shan was stunned, and his hatred for Chu Xi popped up like mushrooms after rain.
Qing Mu Lianhua hung up the phone in a hurry and sent a telegram to the war zone command, resigning and returning to Chongqing on the grounds that Zeng Yun was seriously ill.
In fact, as the chief of staff, the War Zone only knew about it but did not report it to her superiors, allowing Huang Baitao to act recklessly. The War Zone was hoping that she would resign.
By the Yangtze River, there is Sanyou Cave.
Xiao Qian reported: "Minister! The nominal chief of staff of the 77th Army, Lin Qiaoer, requested to resign from his post and return to Chongqing to take care of the terminally ill Deputy Minister Zeng."
Minister Chen asked in confusion: "Vice Minister Zeng is seriously ill? How come I didn't know?"
Ning Caiwei smiled and said, "Minister! This must be what Lin Qiaoer said. The 77th Army was in a mess and now it is going to be completely disbanded. She is looking for a way out and wants to return to the rear area as soon as possible."
Minister Chen nodded and said, "That makes sense! Just agree with her. It hasn't been reported anyway."
"Yes!"
Xiao Qian hurriedly accepted the order.
At this time, the delegates arrived one after another and walked into the conference room next to the command post.
Minister Chen looked at his watch and asked in confusion, "Why haven't Chu Xi and Song Xi arrived yet?"
Ning Caiwei smiled bitterly and said, "How could they rush here from Xiaoting so fast? I'll go outside and take a look."
After saying this, she walked out of the command post and came to the road outside the cave.
Not far away, Shi Poxiong, who was pretending to be Huang Baitao, rode over on horseback.
What puzzled Ning Caiwei was that a lieutenant general did not bring any guards with him.
When Shi Poxiong saw the beautiful Ning Caiwei standing outside in military uniform, he was so stunned by her beauty.
He stared at Ning Caiwei intently until he came to her side, then he said frivolously:
"Chief of Staff Ning! Are you waiting for this commander?"
Ning Caiwei said bluntly: "No! I'm waiting for my man."
Shi Poxiong was stunned and said in astonishment: "Could it be that Chu Xi has also arrived at the front line? Could he be the commander of the 34th Army?"
Ning Caiwei regretted letting the cat out of the bag and could only justify herself by saying:
"No! He's coming from Chongqing. I'll wait for him."
When Shi Poxiong saw that there was no one around, a new idea formed in his mind.
He jumped off his horse and said lecherously, "Chief of Staff Ning! Chu Xi has so many women, you must be neglected. Why don't you follow me? I promise to make you live a life of luxury. Moreover, I will definitely..."
Ning Caiwei interrupted him and shook her head, saying, "Commander Huang! I will only be with Chu Xi in my life, so you'd better give up on this idea."
