Chapter 1115: Food Fraud
How could Doihara Kan'ei endure the ridicule and accusations from a skinny soldier?
He rushed forward, punching and kicking the radio operator, and yelled:
"Baga! How dare you slander this general? Send a message immediately."
"Hello!"
The Japanese radio operator took the order resentfully and sent the message quickly.
It is truly unprecedented for a division commander to report his own regiment commander.
The Japanese headquarters had no choice but to believe that such a noble act of sacrificing one's own relatives was the real reason.
Moreover, the garrison troops stationed in Kaifeng reported to the higher authorities that Zhang Fei had indeed led a regiment to besiege Yoshikawa Shinzo's secret service agency.
Not long after, Doihara Kan'er received a call back from the headquarters:
"Chief Doihara! You have made a great contribution by reporting the case. You will be temporarily retained as the division commander. Send someone to arrest Zhang Fei and bring him to justice. Find out the truth about Yoshikawa Shinzo's death, and then execute him."
Doihara Xian'er ordered: "Radio operator! Call Zhang Fei and ask him to lead the troops back immediately."
"Hello!"
The Japanese radio operator hurriedly received the order.
Because he hated Doihara Kenji, he told Zhang Fei the truth all at once.
In Kaifeng city, the Japanese army camp.
When Zhang Fei received the telegram, he was stunned.
He knew that Doihara Xian'er was a bad person, but he never thought he was so bad. He cursed in his heart: "Doihara Xian'er! You are such a shameless person who has lost all conscience. No! I will report it to Brother Xiang immediately."
At this time, Xiang Chu, Liu Zhengxiong and others had already boarded the train to Jiaozuo.
Lan Cheng received the message from Zhang Fei, handed it to Xiang Chu, and whispered:
"Chief! Doihara Ken'er betrayed Zhang Fei and falsely accused Zhang Fei of killing Yoshikawa Shinsa to the headquarters, and asked Zhang Fei to lead the army back to Wuxing Mountain. Zhang Fei asked him what to do now?"
Xiang Chu took the telegram and read it, then ordered, "Lan Cheng! Call Zhang Fei and tell him to tell Doihara Xian'er to go back immediately, but in fact, to hold off for the time being."
"Hello!"
Lan Cheng hurriedly accepted the order.
Liu Zhengxiong said worriedly: "Director! Will Doihara Xian'er send people to Kaifeng to arrest Zhang Fei? Or will he execute Zhang Fei?"
Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "Not for the time being. Doihara Xian'er likes to play with others. Since he has notified Zhang Fei to go back by himself, he will definitely wait for death in Wuxing Mountain. As for sending someone to execute Zhang Fei, it is even more impossible. He still wants to ask Zhang Fei about the truth of Yoshikawa's real death."
Liu Zhengxiong nodded and said, "Yes! That's a very accurate analysis."
Xiang Chu said thoughtfully: "What we are most worried about now is the 731 elite unit. If we let them act recklessly, it will definitely cause great casualties to our military and civilians."
Liu Zhengxiong consoled him: "When we get to Wuxing Mountain, we will have troops there. I volunteered to destroy the 731 elite troops."
Xiang Chu waved his hand and said, "You escort Xinghai and his wife to Yan'an. Don't worry about these things. We will take care of them."
Liu Zhengxiong hesitated to speak, as he was reluctant to give up the opportunity to go to the holy land of Yan'an.
South of Wuxing Mountain, there is the Xianer Cave in Toihara.
Kenji Doihara was gnawing on pork ribs in the house, and there was still a little bit left that he couldn't bite.
The Japanese radio operator reported outside the door: "Your Excellency the division commander! There is a telegram."
Doihara Xianer hurriedly hid the ribs and responded, "Come in!"
The radio operator walked into the cave and said weakly, "Your Excellency the Division Commander! Zhang Fei called back and said he will be back with his troops soon."
Doihara Xian'er scolded: "Baka! You speak so weakly, didn't you have enough food?"
The radio operator nodded and said, "Yes! I only ate one sweet potato a day."
Doihara Xian'er shouted angrily, "Asshole! Can't you eat spareribs?"
The radio operator shook his head and said, "Even the sweet potatoes are gone, where are the spareribs?"
Doihara Ken'er took out the ribs he had hidden and stuffed them into his pocket, saying generously:
"I can't bear to eat it. Take it and eat it quickly. Call Captain Doihara over."
The radio operator hurriedly took the ribs and said as he ate them, "Thank you, division commander! They are delicious. I'll go call the regiment commander."
Soon, Doihara Mizuro walked into the cave.
Doihara Xian'er scolded: "Shui Lang! This general asked you to lead the troops to sweep the area, but you didn't even get any food back?"
Doihara Mizuro shook his head and said, "The Chinese Eighth Route Army has fortified their defenses and cleared the countryside. Not even a grain of rice can be found within a ten-mile radius."
Doihara Kenji shouted angrily: "Nonsense! China is a vast country with abundant resources. Where can we not find food?"
Doihara Mizuro smiled and said, "Your Excellency the Division Commander! I swear in the name of the Doihara family that I am not lying."
Doihara Xian'er believed it immediately and ordered, "Shui Lang! Gather 500 elite soldiers, put them all in the uniforms of the Eighth Route Army, and follow me to swindle food."
Doihara Mizuro smiled bitterly and said, "Your Excellency the Division Commander! Are you stupid? Zhang Fei will be back soon and will definitely bring back a lot of food."
Doihara Xian'er angrily scolded: "You are stupid! Zhang Fei will be back for at least one day. I can't have a meal without meat. Hurry up and notify him."
"Hello!"
Doihara Mizuro hurriedly took the order and ran out of the cave.
Soon, five hundred Japanese soldiers changed into the uniforms of the Eighth Route Army and, led by Doihara Kenji, walked out of the mountain stronghold laughing and headed south.
Doihara Mizuro asked with a smile: "Your Excellency the Division Commander..."
Doihara Xianer shouted angrily: "Call me Captain Zang! Call me Company Commander Zang."
Doihara Mizuro smiled bitterly and said, "Captain Zang! Why do we have the surname Zang?"
Doihara Xianer sighed and said, "Alas! There is a sad and beautiful love story in this..."
Doihara Mizuro finally listened to his nagging and asked with a smile: "Captain Zang! Where can we go to cheat for food?"
Doihara Xian'er said thoughtfully: "Go to Jiaozuo, where there are iron stick yams, which are very addictive."
Doihara Mizuro cried, "But Captain Zang! Jiaozuo is too far away. By the time we get there, we will have starved to death."
"Report——!"
The scout ran over and reported loudly:
"Your Excellency, the division commander! There is an Eighth Route Army of about 200 people cooking by the river ahead."
Doihara Xian'er was overjoyed and said with a smile, "Yoshi! Everyone is hungry, let's go over and kill this Eighth Route Army and steal their food. Action!"
Without his orders, the hungry Japanese soldiers rushed out.
As they rushed forward, they shot at the "Eighth Route Army" by the creek.
The "Eighth Route Army" by the creek was caught off guard and dozens of them fell on the spot.
The remaining people resisted and retreated at the same time, forming a scene of Eight Route Army fighting against Eight Route Army.
Doihara Xian'er asked in confusion: "Did these Eighth Route Army soldiers recognize us?"
Doihara Mizuro laughed and said, "Captain Zang! We are fighting them, and you still can't recognize them?"
Doihara Xian'er shook his head and said, "No! If they are really the Eighth Route Army, they should be shouting that they are wrong."
Doihara Mizuro nodded and said, "That's right! There are prisoners over there, let's go and take a look."
Indeed, an "Eighth Route Army" soldier was shot in the thigh and became a prisoner.
Doihara Xian'er stepped forward and shouted, "Baga! Are you guys fake Eighth Route Army soldiers?"
When the captive saw him, his eyes lit up and he said happily, "Captain Doihara! I am your former subordinate, Oshima Kaifu."
Doihara Kenji slapped his clever forehead and shouted, "Yoshi! Your wife, Miss Haruko, is very charming."
