Chapter 1111 Eating 1 Meals a Day
Zhang Fei led his troops to march quickly to the Yellow River to camp, and sent a telegram to Xiang Chu:
"Brother Xiang! Doihara Ken'er was angered by Yoshikawa Shinzo, the head of the Japanese spy agency in the five provinces of North China, and he sent me to lead a regiment to leave Wuxing Mountain and go to Kaifeng City to rob supplies."
Xuzhou City, "Chu Bawang" Hotel.
Xiang Chu received the message and said thoughtfully: "Zhang Fei took away a regiment, and Doihara Xian'er only has one devil regiment left in Wuxing Mountain."
Xu Lai smiled and said, "Brother Chu! Now should be a good time to annihilate Doihara Xian'er's troops."
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "Indeed! It's a pity that there are not so many troops. If we look for the National Army troops, we are afraid that the spies will inform again and expose Zhang Fei. Let's wait."
After he finished speaking, he immediately replied to Zhang Fei: "A Fei! I am also going to Kaifeng. I will first eliminate Yoshikawa Shinzo and the elites of Unit 731, and then find a way to eliminate Doihara Ken'er."
Zhang Fei replied to the telegram: "Brother Xiang! Doihara Xian'er is too cunning to attack by force. In addition to farming, he built countless caves, as well as bunkers, secret passages and other defensive fortifications."
Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "Doihara Xian'er actually used the Five Elements Mountain as a base to lead the enemy's westward advance. It will be difficult to eliminate him."
Xu Lai suggested: "Brother Chu! Why not call Zhang Fei and tell him not to meet up with Doihara Xian'er after he grabs the supplies in Kaifeng."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Yes! We also need to have Gan Rong implement the strategy of clearing the countryside and forcing Doihara Xian'er's troops to leave the Five Elements Mountain without food or water."
"Brother Chu! I'll send a message to Zhang Fei."
Xu Lai sat in front of the radio and sent a telegram to Zhang Fei.
Not long after, Zhang Fei called back: "Brother Xiang! I am only the commander in name only. How can the Japanese soldiers listen to me? It will be better for you to take charge after you arrive in Kaifeng."
Xiang Chu ordered: "Alai! Tell Zhang Fei to wait for me in Kaifeng."
Xu Lai sighed, "Alas! I'm afraid Zhang Fei has to wait for a long time. I don't know when the railway will be repaired."
Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "Not necessarily! The Japs are frantically plundering our Chinese resources and they attach great importance to railways.
After entering the customs, the North China Transportation Corporation and the East China Transportation Corporation were established.
With mature technology, strong capital and sufficient labor support, as well as the full support of the "railway protection team", these companies have repaired damaged railways at a speed beyond imagination. "
Xu Lai sneered and said, "How is that possible? Our troops are still destroying the railway."
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
Xiang Chu stepped forward and opened the door.
Hu Changsheng said happily: "Director! The train station called and said that traffic will be restored tomorrow morning."
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "You are quite capable of repairing, Changsheng! Tell everyone to be ready to catch the train early in the morning."
"Yes!"
Hu Changsheng hurriedly accepted the order.
Xiang Chu smiled and asked Xu Lai: "Alai! Am I right?"
Xu Lai nodded and said, "You know a lot about the Japs."
After she finished speaking, she hurriedly sent a telegram to Zhang Fei and Gan Rong.
A damaged section of the Longhai Railway was reopened to traffic after an overnight repair.
At seven o'clock the next morning, Xiang Chu and everyone boarded the train to Kaifeng.
Lijiazhai, north of Wuxing Mountain, Lingchuan, Shanxi.
Gan Rong was discussing with Chen Feng how to deal with Doihara Kenji's troops.
Having recruited thousands of new soldiers, Chen Feng felt that it was time to fight a war to train the troops.
He pointed at the map and said domineeringly: "Lao Gan! Doihara Xianer is entrenched in the south of Wuxing Mountain. Now one regiment has left. Although the remaining troops are called a regiment, in fact, after the casualties in the battle, including the sick, there are only about 2,000 people.
Our army now has nearly 2,000 people. We should go out to harass the enemy, lure them deep into our territory, and then destroy them one by one."
Gan Rong shook his head and said, "Captain Chen! Our leader just said that we should first implement a strong defense and clearing of the countryside against Doihara Kenji's troops and not take any action against them."
Chen Feng smiled bitterly and said, "Doihara Xian'er robbed all the food from the surrounding people in the early stage, and emptied hundreds of ponds. He has already stored a large amount of food. He is not afraid of the strategy of clearing the countryside. This trick will not work."
Gan Rong was used to carrying out Xiang Chu's orders unconditionally, and insisted, "Captain Chen! Doihara Xian'er likes to spend money and eat excessively. He will take the lead in wasting all the food. I suggest that we implement the policy of clearing the fields and fortifying the city."
Chen Feng was eager to make a contribution, so he said with a smile: "Lao Gan! How about this, you take half of the people to fortify the walls and clear the fields, and I will take the other half to lure the enemy deep into the territory and eliminate Doihara Xian'er's manpower?"
Gan Rong nodded and said, "Okay! But we rely on propaganda to mobilize the masses, so we don't need to bring so many people."
Chen Feng smiled and said, "Great! This is a good opportunity to train our troops."
The two men split up into two groups and began their own actions.
Gan Rong did not have to put in too much effort, as there were not many people living around Wuxing Mountain. He simply expanded the scope of his propaganda and persuaded the people to move into the mountains or hide their food.
Chen Feng led his troops to the south of Wuxing Mountain and began to provoke Doihara Kenji in various ways.
South of Wuxing Mountain, there is the cave where Doihara Xianer lived.
Doihara Mizuro rushed into the cave, woke up the sleeping Doihara Ken'er, and shouted:
"Your Excellency the Division Commander! The Chinese Eighth Route Army has begun to attack us. Wake up!"
Doihara Kenji was dreaming of marrying Aoki Renka, but her beautiful dream was shattered and she screamed:
"Baga! Can't you wait until I get married before you yell:"
Doihara Mizuro cried and said, "Who knew you were daydreaming?"
Doihara Ken'er climbed up from the earthen bed and ordered:
"Shui Lang! No matter who provokes you, don't go out and chase them."
Doihara Mizuro asked anxiously, "But division commander, what if the Eighth Route Army breaks in?"
Doihara Xian'er rolled his eyes at him and scolded him, "Our military fortifications are impregnable. Do you think the Eighth Route Army can break in?"
Doihara Mizuro smiled bitterly and said, "Even if they can't break in, if they surround our army, our army will be short of food, which will be troublesome, right?"
Doihara Xian'er said regretfully, "I really shouldn't have eaten six meals a day. I ate up all the food I had stored. But fortunately, Zhang Fei's team went to rob Kaifeng. If we can hold on for two days, there will definitely be a lot of food."
Doihara Mizuro said bluntly: "That's right! You even compete with pigs and eat eight meals a day."
Doihara Xian'er was so angry that he yelled, "Baga! You stupid pig, I'm going to put you in a pig cage."
"Report——!"
A scout ran into the cave and reported loudly:
"Your Excellency the Division Commander! The Chinese Eighth Route Army just sniped and killed Captain Ono, and threatened to..."
The scout was about to say something but stopped himself and looked at Doihara Kenji nervously.
Doihara Ken'er shouted, "Tell me what you are threatening me for."
The scout said bitterly, "Mr. Division Commander! The Chinese Eighth Route Army threatened to cut you into pieces and chop off your head and kick it like a football."
Doihara Xian'er touched his head, then lay down on the earthen kang again and ordered:
"Shui Lang! Bombard the provocative Chinese Eighth Route Army. After repelling them, immediately send multiple troops to mop up the area and make sure to collect food."
Doihara Mizuro said anxiously: "Your Excellency, the division commander! I'm afraid we'll be ambushed by the Chinese Eighth Route Army. Let's wait for Zhang Fei's team to come back."
Doihara Ken'er was too lazy to pay attention to him and had already entered an immersed state of pretending to sleep.
