Chapter 1015 Why Do You Always Attack?
When Murakami Osamu and Yamawabe Shinro heard this, they hurriedly separated.
However, after today's commotion, a feud has been created.
Yamarabe Shintaka scolded, "Murakami brat! Don't even think about asking our division commander to rescue you again."
Murakami waved his hand to the left and said, "The commander of our division does not need your rescue, so you should leave immediately."
Shanbei Zhenlong sneered: "What's the matter? Don't you want to retreat? Fight to the death with the 34th Army?"
Murakami Qizuo sneered, "This intelligence is probably false. The Chinese army has been crippled long ago, so how can they launch a large-scale counterattack? I also have spies lurking in the Chinese army, who can obtain intelligence at any time."
Yamarabe Shintaka sneered and said, "You can only dance the Awa Odori, how can you get intelligence? I will not argue with you, so I'd better retreat first."
After saying this, he ran out of the command post with his men.
Murakami said bitterly: "This guy came here to do nothing but waste the wine and meat of this general."
The Japanese Nokura Brigade Commander reminded: "Your Excellency the Division Commander! Aren't you still going to ask Huang Shan?"
Murakami nodded and ordered, "Radio operator! Call Huang Shan immediately to find out if the Chinese army will really launch a massive counterattack."
"Hello!"
The Japanese radio operator hurriedly sent a telegram.
Not long after, I received a call back from Huang Shan:
"General Murakami! This is not a large-scale attack. The 34th Army, 18th Army and other units are just bluffing."
Murakami Qizuo laughed loudly and said, "How ridiculous! The intelligence they have is not as accurate as my own. Radio operator! Report this information to Commander Sonobe River immediately."
"Hello!"
The Japanese radio operator hurriedly received the order and sent a telegram to the commander of the 11th Army.
Soon, I received an unceremonious reply from the 11th Army Headquarters:
"Captain Murakami! The intelligence from the headquarters cannot be false. I order you to withdraw your troops immediately."
Murakami Qizuo sneered, "We must rebel against our superiors to achieve a great victory. Brigade Commander Nokura! Quickly march into Yichang City and catch the Chinese 34th Army off guard."
"Hello!"
The Japanese commander Nokura hurriedly took the order.
On the top of Yichang City, Xiang Chu looked towards the Rain-Praying Platform with a frown on his face.
Gan Rong asked: "Commander! Should we hold on or retreat?"
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "The higher-ups have issued a counterattack order, asking us to defend Yichang City. But there are only a few who really act quickly. Are they asking us to have another big fight with the devils?"
Gan Rong smiled and said, "Commander! Don't worry, the Japanese troops are retreating one after another."
Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "No! The devil's village division has not left yet. I don't know what they are up to. Notify Lao Liu and keep a close eye on the village division."
"Yes!"
Gan Rong hurriedly accepted the order.
At this time, Song Xi walked up to the city wall accompanied by the guards.
Ma Fugui followed behind with a radio on his back, listening to the Japanese troops' radio conversations as he walked.
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "Sister! Why are you here too?"
Song Xi shook her head and said, "Brother! I will be wherever you are. How can I stay in the rear command post all the time? The higher-ups really don't understand the situation at the front. Can the troops get here in the middle of the night?"
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Indeed! Moreover, the Japanese troops are not far from Yichang. If they want to fight, they can arrive soon. We are in great danger now."
Song Xi said angrily: "I will send a telegram to Minister Chen. Our 34th Army cannot sit and wait for death in Yichang City."
Xiang Chu hurriedly dissuaded her, "Sister! Minister Chen is now being impeached, let's not cause him any more trouble. If we need to retreat, I will report the situation to the higher-ups."
Song Xi said solemnly: "Okay! I will live and die with you, and I will obey you in everything."
Xiang Chu held her hand tightly unnaturally, and everything was said without words.
It is summer now. Outside the city, there are frog croaks, insects chirping, and fireflies twinkling.
If it weren't for the occasional sound of gunfire all around, it would have been an incredibly beautiful summer night.
Song Xi leaned her head on Xiang Chu's shoulder and said leisurely:
"Brother! Can we really drive away the devils?"
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "Of course we can! But now the Japs have already fought here, and they are only a few hundred miles away from Chongqing. It will really take a huge sacrifice to drive them out."
Song Xi sighed and said, "China has suffered for a hundred years. When will it end?"
At this time, Ma Fugui ran to Xiang Chu and said anxiously:
"Commander! I don't quite understand. Please listen to what the devils are saying on the radio."
Xiang Chu hurriedly took the headphones and put them on, listening carefully.
After a long moment, he smiled and said, "Great! The Japanese troops have received orders from their superiors, saying that our army will launch a massive counterattack. Except for the Murakami Division, all the troops are retreating."
Song Xi asked in confusion: "Brother! How did the Japanese get the information about our counterattack?"
Xiang Chu said without hesitation: "Of course it is a Japanese spy lurking inside our army, but why didn't the Murakami Division of Qiuyutai leave? Do they want us to eliminate him?"
Song Xi smiled and said, "As far as I know, the Murakami Division is less than a brigade now."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Yes! Most of the Murakami Division was annihilated, and the troops are scattered. There is still a part in Liyu Beach, plus the wounded. At present, there is only one regiment at the Rain-Seeking Platform. It is better to destroy them."
Song Xi said worriedly: "Brother! But our mission is to defend Yichang."
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "Sister! We must defend to the death. We cannot let such a good opportunity slip away."
Song Xi nodded and said, "Okay! I'll ask for instructions. If they don't allow it, we still can't move."
After she finished speaking, she immediately sent a telegram to the theater command.
Xiang Chu knew that she was brought up to emphasize rules, so he had to follow her temperament.
Soon, I received a reply from the theater command:
"After reporting to the Supreme Command, we have approved the operation to annihilate the enemy forces at Qiuyutai. If Yichang is indeed undefendable, then we will voluntarily give it up."
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "It seems that the people above are still very discerning."
Song Xi urged: "It's almost dawn, give orders quickly."
Xiang Chu happily said, "Yes, Madam."
At dawn, pray for rain below the stage.
The Nokura Brigade Commander gathered the Japanese soldiers, but there were only about 2,000 of them, and said with some concern:
"Your Excellency, the division commander! The troops here are a bit too few. Why not mobilize the troops from Liyutan to besiege Yichang City together?"
Murakami waved his hand and said, "This number of soldiers is enough! The Chinese high-level officials have come to the conclusion that it takes at least 5 people to defeat 1 person from the Empire. We have nearly 4 soldiers here, so the Chinese army must send out at least 2 elite soldiers."
Brigade Commander Nokura smiled bitterly and said, "But our opponent is the 34th Army of China. They are the elite among the elite, the ace among the aces. Maybe they can achieve a 1:1 casualty ratio with our army."
Murakami Qizuo shouted, "Baga! Are you confused? The Chinese 34th Army is just like ours. Most of them are in the rear and have not arrived yet. There are at most 4 people in Yichang. 4 against 4. Don't we have a chance of winning?"
After he finished speaking, he picked up the loudspeaker and shouted:
"Warriors of the Empire! This general would rather commit treason than destroy the 34th Chinese Army in Yichang City and avenge the dead warriors of the Empire."
"Boom!" There was a loud noise.
A shell flew over and landed under the rain-praying platform, killing a group of Japanese soldiers on the spot.
Murakami got up and fell to his knees, pounding the ground with his fists and yelling:
"China 34th Army! Why do you always launch surprise attacks?"
