Chapter 1024: Small Elite Assault Force
Both Japanese spies died, and one of them didn't even have his name known.
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "This damn devil is just an unknown bear."
Wei Feng reminded: "Commander! Why don't you call the boy who went to collect the bounty at 6 o'clock tonight to identify him. He is Huang Shan's subordinate. I remember what he looks like."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Okay! Bring someone to call him over."
"Yes!"
Wei Feng hurriedly took the order and led his men to the Jiang Defense Force Headquarters.
Soon, Xiao Zhang was brought over by him.
Xiao Zhang was stunned when he saw the two mutilated bodies.
Xiang Chu asked, "Little brother! These two people are Japanese spies, you know them, right?"
Xiao Zhang nodded and said, "Sir! One is our director Huang Shan, and the other is his good friend Gao Gu."
Xiang Chu asked anxiously: "Which unit is Gao Gu from?"
Xiao Zhang touched the back of his head and said thoughtfully: "He has a good relationship with Director Huang. He seems to be a confidential officer of the 44th Army."
Xiang Chu was overjoyed and ordered, "Wei Feng! Take Xiao Zhang back immediately and check Huang Shan's office. Lan Cheng! Take people to the 44th Army and check Gao Gu's office."
"Yes!"
Wei Feng and Lan Cheng hurriedly took the order and took their men away.
At this time, Ma Fugui ran over and reported anxiously:
"Commander! The Japanese army is advancing by land and sea. Minister Chen and the two ladies ask you to return to the headquarters immediately."
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "The Japanese really want to reach Chongqing in one go, but that's just daydreaming!"
Hu Changsheng smiled and said, "Commander! Fortunately, you found the two Japanese spies. Otherwise, one is in the front-line troops and the other is in the river defense troops. Our troop deployment is transparent to the devils."
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "We found this together, let's go!"
After saying this, he jumped on his horse and galloped towards the war zone command center.
In the eastern forests of Enshi, the Shanlei Zhenlong Division marched rapidly under the cover of night.
In the rugged mountains, cars, chariots, and even horses are useless.
The artillery and other heavy equipment could not be carried away and were all left in the camp at the foot of the mountain, where a small team of Japanese soldiers were left to guard it.
The Japanese light infantry were traveling through the mountains and forests. They were full of energy at the beginning, but they were exhausted after walking on the mountain road for half the night.
Yamabe Shintaka drew out his command knife, pointed ahead and roared: "Warriors of the Empire! Don't you want to go home? You must charge into Chongqing and destroy the Chinese government..."
His chief of staff reminded him: "Mr. Division Commander! Please point your saber in the wrong direction. Chongqing should be to the west."
Yamawabe Shintaka scolded: "Yamamoto Rokuichi! Don't remind me randomly. The commander of our division is looking down on us and showing his boundless arrogance."
Yamamoto Rokuichi bowed and said, "I understand."
Yamarabe Shintaka continued to roar: "Warriors of the Empire! This is the last battle of the Imperial Army in China. Defeat the 34th Army, march into Chongqing, and avenge the death of Murakami, the left division commander."
Yamamoto Rokuichi praised loudly: "Gentlemen! Our division commander has a loving heart. Even though Murakami Kizuo insulted him as a dog, he still wanted to avenge Murakami Kizuo."
Yamarabe Shintaka said proudly: "Yoshi! The commander of our division never planned for these gains and losses. The whole army will move forward at full speed to fight a decisive battle with the Chinese 34th Army."
"Report——!"
A Japanese scout ran up from the east, pointed down the mountain and shouted:
"Your Excellency, Division Commander! Something terrible has happened. A small unit of the Chinese 34th Army has raided our camp, and all of our heavy weapons and equipment have fallen into the hands of the enemy."
Yamabe Shinryu was furious and roared, "Where is Team Oshima? Why didn't they stop us?"
The Japanese scout shook his head and said, "The uniforms of the small unit of the Chinese 34th Army are exactly the same as ours. The Oshima squad thought it was their own unit that had returned and was caught off guard."
Yamamoto Rokuichi suggested: "Mr. Division Commander! Since we are attacking Chongqing with light infantry, we don't need those heavy weapons and equipment."
Shanlei Zhenlong was reminded and immediately felt relieved. He said happily:
"Yoshi! Order the entire army to advance quickly and fight to the death with the main force of the 34th Army."
"Hello!"
Yamamoto Rokuichi bowed and received the order, shouting loudly:
"Give me the peaches! Charge towards Chongqing."
"Boom! Boom!"
Countless artillery shells flew towards here from their camp at the foot of the mountain.
"Quick! Get down."
Shanbie Zhenlong screamed and fell to the ground.
Several shells exploded in the pile of Japanese soldiers, causing countless casualties.
Shanbei Zhenlong was blown to pieces, and he got up and shouted:
"Take back the camp, grab the weapons, and give me the peaches!"
After saying this, he ran towards the camp at the foot of the mountain like a wild boar.
The Japanese soldiers howled and hurried to follow his footsteps.
Yamamoto Rikuichi took a look at the forest he had finally climbed up and sighed, "I walked all night in vain, climbed the mountain in vain. Sigh! When can we make it to Chongqing, the temporary capital?"
"Da-da! Da-da-da!"
The sound of machine gun fire rang out simultaneously from above, left and right.
Immediately, multiple troops launched an attack on the Yamabe Shintaka Division.
Yamamoto Rokuichi chased after Yamawabe Shintaka and said anxiously:
"Your Excellency, the division commander! The Chinese 34th Army's tactics are too tricky. We should retreat."
Shan Li Zhen Long pointed down the mountain and said, "Are you crazy? We are going back to the camp now. Isn't that a retreat?"
Yamamoto Rokuichi shook his head and said, "Your Excellency the Division Commander! We can't go back to the camp. If you want to go back, you'll be a jerk. The 34th Army of China is very good at fighting mountain warfare. They have transformed their large forces into small elite assault forces. They must have set up a lot of traps in the camp waiting for you to fall into them."
Shanlei Zhenlong said arrogantly: "Don't raise any objections, lead your troops into the camp immediately."
Yamamoto Rokuichi felt like crying but had no tears. He said helplessly, "Ha!"
He led his troops to the gate of the camp at the foot of the mountain. The camp was quiet and dark, as if it contained endless murderous intent.
Yamamoto Rokuichi shouted, "Everyone shoot!"
The Japanese soldiers fired wildly at the camp, but there was no response.
Yamamoto Rokuichi regained his courage and shouted loudly: "Use the flashlights to move forward! Take back the camp."
Several flashlights illuminated the camp gate, and the fence at the entrance was hung with the corpses of Japanese soldiers.
Yamamoto Rokuichi was so angry that he yelled: "Baga! The Chinese 34th Army is so inhumane."
"Bang!"
A sniper bullet hit him between the eyebrows.
Immediately, the chain mines under the Japanese soldiers' feet were detonated.
The Japanese soldiers were blown away and cried for their parents, and retreated frantically.
When Yamabe Shintaka heard that a sniper had killed Yamamoto Rokuichi, he was worried that he would be killed as well, so he immediately led his troops to retreat to Yichang City overnight.
A village in western Enshi, the headquarters of the Fifth War Zone.
Radio broadcasts were heard one after another, and there was fighting everywhere.
Orders from the Supreme Command also came like snowflakes.
Minister Chen was overwhelmed and asked loudly: "How is the battle situation of each unit? Have they stopped the enemy's attack?"
Xiao Qian reported: "Minister! We have asked various troops and found that they have not yet engaged the enemy. Currently, only the 34th Army has sent hundreds of troops to take the initiative to attack and fight the Japanese."
Minister Chen asked anxiously: "Chief of Staff! Where is your husband?"
"coming!"
Xiang Chu's voice rang out, and he ran in excitedly.
He also carried a radio on his back and kept giving orders.
Minister Chen scolded, "Boy! You sent out hundreds of troops. What kind of fighting method is this?"
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "A small group of elite assault troops will go all over the mountains and plains to attack the Japanese troops."
