Chapter 1011: Deprivation of Chu Xi of his rank of general

Gao Gu wanted to get the intelligence of the 34th Army urgently, so he volunteered:

"Director! Please assign me a task."

The director of the confidential department shook his head and said, "Don't be so anxious, you should take a rest first."

Gao Gu begged, "Now that I am under the 34th Army, I must behave well."

Huang Shan taunted, "Staff Officer Gao! You still don't know? The 79th Division has been assigned to the 44th Army."

Gao Gu exclaimed: "What?! They belong to the garbage 44th Army."

Needless to say, his purpose of coming here was to gain full control of the intelligence of the 34th Army, but he did not expect to be assigned to the 77th Army, which was even weaker than the 44th Army.

Huang Shan said angrily: "Staff Officer Gao! Don't talk nonsense. The commander of the 44th Army, Huang Wanjin, is from my hometown. The 44th Army is also an ace army."

When Gao Gu heard that he had this relationship, he smiled and said, "Director Huang! It was just a slip of the tongue. Please speak well of me in front of Commander Huang in the future."

Huang Shan said shamelessly: "No problem! Make a cup of tea for this director."

"okay!"

Gao Gu hurriedly brought him tea and water.

The head of the confidential department saw this and thought to himself:

"Why is there an ancestor here in my confidential office?"

At this time, a lieutenant colonel hurried into the confidential room.

He handed a cowhide envelope to the head of the confidential department and instructed:

"Director Yin! This is the top-secret action plan that the division commander brought back from the military meeting. You must keep it safe."

The head of the confidential department patted his chest and said loudly: "Don't worry, Adjutant Duan! I will definitely keep this top-secret plan safe."

Adjutant Duan nodded and said, "That's right! There are quite a few people in your confidential room. I hope everyone can keep their mouths shut."

Gao Gu stood up and said hurriedly: "Of course! Of course!"

Huang Shan said sarcastically, "What a crappy plan! I won't even take a look at it."

Adjutant Duan rolled his eyes at him, didn't argue with him, turned around and walked out of the confidential room.

The head of the confidential department put the top-secret plan into the safe. Gao Gu took out a small mirror and pretended to look at the pimples on his face. He saw him turning the combination of the safe in the reflector and secretly memorized it in his heart.

The Japanese army and navy were approaching and the air raids were intensifying.

A few days later, the Fifth War Zone Command had to retreat westward.

Xiang Chu and Song Xi are going to the front line, Ning Caiwei is going to retreat, and they bid farewell reluctantly.

Ning Caiwei said worriedly, "Brother Chu! Sister Xi! You two must be careful."

Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Don't worry! Sister Xi will protect me."

Song Xi said angrily, "You are so talkative! You have always protected me."

Ning Caiwei smiled with tears in her eyes and said, "Family members protect each other!"

Xiang Chu held her in his arms and said softly, "Chief of Staff! Don't cry."

Ning Caiwei asked angrily, "Who is crying?"

She left his arms and silently helped him put on his uniform.

At this time, the sound of Japanese planes roaring came from the air.

Song Xi shook his head and said, "These Japanese planes are really haunting us. If they occupy Yichang in the future, bombing Chongqing will become a common occurrence."

Minister Chen walked out of the door and said with a smile: "Don't worry! No matter how much the Japanese planes bomb, they can't destroy our confidence in winning the war of resistance."

Xiang Chu praised: "Minister Chen is very optimistic, which is worth learning from."

Minister Chen scolded, "You kid! Don't flatter me. Yichang is about to fall, and it's hard to say whether I can hold the position."

Xiang Chu smiled and said, "Don't worry! You are the God of War, I will never fail to use you."

Minister Chen waved his hand and instructed, "Boy! Once you have effectively killed or injured the enemy, withdraw. Don't linger in the battle. The Chief of Staff and I are waiting for you and Miss Song to come to the Enshi Command Center."

Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Yes! We will never fight to the end. The Japanese planes, artillery and warships bombarded our 34th Army's Shamao Mountain position. I have ordered the troops to retreat."

Song Xi added: "We retreated appropriately, firstly to build fortifications on both sides of the Three Gorges to block the enemy's way to Chongqing. Secondly, to lure the enemy deep into our territory and wait for an opportunity to annihilate their effective forces."

Minister Chen smiled and said, "Miss Song, there is no need to explain. I don't know what your man thinks? Take care, both of you!"

"Take care of yourself!"

Xiang Chu and Song Xi nodded heavily.

Chongqing, combat research conference room.

The Japanese were about to arrive at Yichang, the eastern gate of Chongqing. Except for Zeng Yun, almost everyone in the conference room was filled with fear.

Chen Guo taunted, "Minister Chen still failed to defend Yichang. It seems that Chongqing is in danger. We should consider moving the capital to Chengdu or Xichang, or to Qinghai or Xinjiang."

Minister He smiled bitterly and said, "Don't panic. Even if the Japanese take Yichang, they can't get over there because of the mountains and the Three Gorges."

Zeng Yun was unhappy when he heard this and sneered, "Can't come over? If the devils build an airport in Yichang to bomb Chongqing, they will come too quickly."

Commander Feng sighed, "Alas! The defeat was devastating. Someone should bear the consequences of losing the city and territory. Otherwise, we will not be able to explain to the people of the country."

Chen Guo's thinking was not as good as before, and he said bluntly: "The one who should bear the consequences is naturally Minister Chen, and he should be relieved of his post. Oh, and the commander of the 34th Army, Chu Xi, should also be relieved of his post."

Minister He remembered the agreement with Xiang Chu and shook his head and said, "Director Chen! The commander of the 34th Army is surnamed Liu, and Chu Xi is not at the front line."

"Not at the front?"

Chen Guo and Zeng Yun exclaimed in surprise at the same time.

Zeng Yun was about to report to the Japanese forces that it was Chu Xi who was commanding the battle, and the head of the film agency might not have replaced Chu Xi.

At this time, Ma Chunfang came to the door of the conference room with a telegram folder.

Minister He waved his hand and said, "Director Ma! Read it."

Ma Chunfang unfolded the telegram and read: "Huang Wanjin, commander of the 44th Army, reported that the 34th Army's defense line collapsed at the first touch, and the Japanese army was approaching Yichang City. He will lead the 44th Army to defend Yichang to the death. I request that he be awarded the rank of general."

Minister He smiled bitterly and said, "This is a threat!"

Commander Liu had a good relationship with Huang Wanjin, and said with a smile: "Minister He! Commander Huang is now serving, so it is normal for him to propose the idea of ​​being promoted to general.

In order to make him defend Yichang to the death, why not deprive Chu Xi, the commander of the 34th Army, of his rank of general and give it to Huang Wanjin instead? "

Everyone in the conference room exclaimed: "Deprive Chu Xi of his rank of general?!"

Minister He waved his hand and said, "Everyone! Chu Xi is not at the front line at all. Why do you deprive him of his military rank? This is child's play. Director Ma! Call the Fifth War Zone and submit the battle report immediately."

"Yes!"

Ma Chunfang hurriedly took the order and ran out of the meeting room.

Minister He changed the subject: "Ladies and gentlemen! France has 400 million troops, known as the strongest army in Europe, but it surrendered after fighting Germany for 40 days.

We fought the Japanese for four years with our simple equipment, and we are much stronger than the French."

Commander Bai echoed, "Yes! Even if Yichang is lost, as long as we defend the Three Gorges and the mountains in western Hubei, the Japanese will not be able to get in."

Commander Liu said angrily, "Now, except for the 44th Army, all the troops in the Fifth War Zone are like frightened birds, rushing to retreat. Can they defend the key point to Chongqing in the west? Anyway, I don't believe it. Do you believe it?"

Chen Guo, Zeng Yun, Xu Zeng and others echoed loudly: "I don't believe it!"

Zeng Yun also deliberately said: "We should quickly consider moving the capital. Before moving the capital, we should first punish the commander and chief of staff of the Fifth War Zone who have performed poorly in combat."

This time, he added Ning Caiwei into the punishment, just to force Chu Xi to show up.

At this time, Ma Chunfang hurried to the door of the conference room, picked up the telegram and read:

"Commanders! Urgent report from the Fifth War Zone: The 44th Army collapsed at the first blow and voluntarily abandoned Yichang. The troops were divided and surrounded by the Japanese troops during the rout and have been almost wiped out."

Everyone in the conference room looked at each other, completely confused as to what was going on on the front line.
