Chapter 1013: People can hold on, but ammunition is running out

Huang Shan said hurriedly: "General! My strategy worked, you should let me go."

Murakami sneered, "Chinese! You are too naive. Come! Shoot this man to death."

"Hello!"

The Japanese soldiers hurriedly obeyed the order.

"Plop!" a sound.

Huang Shan knelt down in fear and shouted: "General! Don't kill me, I am willing to serve you."

Murakami Qizuo smiled and said, "Huang Sang! Write a letter of surrender and take a photo with this general."

"Hello!"

Huang Shan quickly got up.

After he finished writing the surrender letter and taking photos, he said respectfully:

"General! If you let me go, I will collect intelligence on the 34th Army for you."

Murakami handed him an envelope and ordered, "Huang Sang! When you go back, pass on the information according to the instructions inside. If you don't fulfill your promise, this general will publish your surrender letter and the photo in the newspaper.

Moreover, your hometown is in the imperial occupation zone, your relatives will be slaughtered and your ancestral graves will be dug up, do you understand?"

Huang Shan said hurriedly: "I know! I know."

Murakami Kizuo ordered the Japanese second lieutenant beside him: "Oshima-kun! Return Huang Sang's belongings to him and send him to a safe area."

"Hello!"

The Japanese second lieutenant bowed and accepted the order.

Huang Shan nodded and said, "Thank you, General Murakami! Thank you!"

Murakami Qi patted his shoulder and said in a friendly manner: "Huang Sang! You will be my friend in the future. If you contribute to the Imperial Holy War, I will recommend you to be the governor of a province."

Huang Shan said excitedly, "Ah?! Thank you so much."

The Japanese lieutenant Oshima said respectfully: "Huang Sang! Please."

"Okay! Please."

Huang Shan nodded and followed him out of the command post.

Lieutenant Oshima returned his belongings and led him through several Japanese sentry posts into the forest.

He pulled out his pistol and whispered, "Huang Sang! Let's act out a scene. If you run away, I'll shoot you."

Before he could finish his words, a shadow suddenly jumped down from the tree and knocked him unconscious with a stick.

The man threw away the stick, pulled Huang Shan and ran away, saying anxiously: "Director! Let's go!"

Huang Shan was shocked and asked in surprise: "Gao Gu! You weren't captured by the devils?"

As Gao Gu ran, he said, "I was hiding in the woods the whole time, and the devils didn't find me."

Huang Shan asked vaguely, "Really?"

He also hid in the woods, but was still caught by the Japanese.

Gao Gu was very familiar with the forest and was always able to avoid the Japanese sentries or secret guards.

Soon, the two of them ran to the bank of the Yangtze River.

Not far away on the river, there was a ship sent by the war zone to rescue separated officers and soldiers.

Gao Gu waved to the boat, and it immediately came over.

He said happily: "Director! We are finally saved."

Huang Shan was not happy at all, and his heart was full of doubts about him, so he echoed:

"Well! It was a narrow escape."

At this time, fierce gunfire was heard from the direction of the Rain-Seeking Platform.

Gao Gu shook his head and said, "The 34th Army is really good at fighting. Other troops are hiding from the Japanese, but they are always biting the Japanese back."

Huang Shan's thoughts had changed. He sneered, "Since the Fifth Plenary Session of the Fifth Central Committee last January, the focus of the Party and the country has shifted from resisting Japan externally to resisting the Communist Party internally. If they have the energy to do this, why don't they deal with the Red Party? Why do they fight the devils head-on? Aren't they just looking for excitement? How much ammunition do they have?"

Gao Gu saw the boat coming and deliberately said loudly: "You can't say that. If we don't fight the war, won't the country be destroyed?"

Huang Shan quickly changed his words: "You are right, but unfortunately I was captured by the devils and had an ignominious experience."

Gao Gu patted his chest and said, "Director! As long as I don't say it, no one will know that you were captured by the devils."

Huang Shan said excitedly: "Really?!"

Gao Gu nodded and said, "Of course! I will keep it a secret for you."

Huang Shan said with a sense of relief: "Okay! You will be Huang Shan's good brother from now on."

Gao Gu had a grin on his face, but he thought to himself, "You will be my chess piece from now on."

As the sun sets, the fighting around Yichang intensifies.

Xiang Chu deliberately sent out deceptive troops from many directions to create the illusion of a large-scale attack on the Japanese troops.

The purpose of doing so is nothing more than to conceal the real combat intention.

At this time, he and Gan Rong led two divisions to the dense forest outside Yichang City, waiting for the Japanese troops in the city to leave.

Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "Lao Gan! Now we are almost out of ammunition and food. We can only fight this battle tonight and then retreat. Otherwise, we can only fight the devils with swords and spears."

Gan Rong said angrily: "Commander! It seems that only our 34th Army is fighting. Where are the White Party's troops?"

Xiang Chu pointed to the fire on the south bank of the Yangtze River and said, "No! We are not fighting alone. The 18th Army and the troops on the south bank of the Yangtze River are also fighting. But now the White Party is promoting passive resistance to Japan and active anti-communism, which is very shameful."

Gan Rong was surprised and asked, "The situation is so tense now, but they are still actively opposing the Communist Party?"

Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Since the Fifth Plenary Session of the Fifth Central Committee of the White Party last year, the Shandong Column alone has suffered hundreds of attacks from the White Party troops, with more than 2,000 casualties.

The White Party provoked in many places such as Shaanxi, Shanxi, and northern Jiangsu. Especially in northern Jiangsu, Han Deqin gathered tens of thousands of people at the beginning of the year to besiege the New Fourth Army...”

Xiang Chu couldn't bear to continue, Gan Rong took over the conversation, shook his head and said: "The White Party is too impatient, at least drive the devils out before fighting the civil war."

At this time, Ai Hai, who was wearing the Japanese military uniform, ran over and said happily:

"Commander! Two brigades of Japanese soldiers have left the city to support the battle. Now there is only one Japanese regiment guarding the city."

Xiang Chu was overjoyed and asked anxiously, "Have the devils stockpiled weapons and ammunition in the city?"

Ai Hai said thoughtfully: "I saw the Japanese transport ships docked at the Yangtze River wharf, transporting more than a dozen ships of supplies to the city, but it was a bit far away, so I couldn't see clearly what it was."

Gan Rong said happily: "No need to look carefully, it must be the supplies that the troops need most. If our 34th Army gets this batch of supplies, we can have another big fight with the Japanese."

Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "We can't fight anymore. We should grab the supplies and then retreat to defend the Three Gorges line. Otherwise, the Japanese will counterattack with heavy forces from land, sea and air, and our army will suffer heavy losses."

Wei Feng volunteered: "Boss! Just like before, I will lead people to pretend to be the Japanese troops and sneak into the city, open a gap, and support the main force to enter the city."

Xiang Chu patted his shoulder and nodded:

"Good brother! Go ahead."

"Yes!"

Wei Feng gladly accepted the order.

He led a squadron of fake devils straight to Yichang City.

Xiang Chu picked up the radio megaphone and said in Jiangxi dialect:

"Lao Liu! How's the fight going there? Can you hold on?"

Liu Zhengxiong responded quickly: "We can hold on, but we are running out of ammunition. Once the enemy's reinforcements arrive, we won't be able to make any noise and must retreat, otherwise we will be surrounded."

Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "I said, can't you save some money?"

Liu Zhengxiong said angrily, "Isn't this what you said about making a big splash?"

Xiang Chu smiled and said, "You are so sincere, can't you make some firecrackers? As long as we can hold off the heavy Japanese troops for an hour or so, we can capture Yichang City and supply you with a large amount of weapons and ammunition."

Liu Zhengxiong shouted, "That's right! Big brother! Remember your big words."
