Chapter 1309: Let the Japs Sink into the Xiangjiang River

On the left bank of the Xiangjiang River, Changsha Dawang Mountain Fulongping.

There are more than a dozen bamboo and wood structure houses scattered in the square.

There is an air-raid shelter behind the house, which is hidden and safe.

Xiang Chu praised: "Xiao Qi! This is a good place to choose."

Xiao Qi said with a smile: "Boss! How dare Xiao Qi neglect your instructions? This used to be a village. The villagers left in advance because they were afraid that the Japanese soldiers would attack us."

Xiang Chu saw the many anti-war slogans on the wall and said with a smile, "Those who didn't leave were scared away by you."

Xiao Qi changed the subject and said, "Boss! The residence you and your wife live in is a brick and stone building owned by a local landlord. Oh, by the way! I'll get you some bacon."

Having said this, he quickly slipped away.

Xiaoliu even deliberately revealed: "You kid! Did you dress up as a devil to scare the people here away?"

Xiao Qi stopped and said with a smile: "Brother! The villagers all escaped on their own."

Xiang Chu ordered: "Xiao Qi! Pull the wire to the Ninth War Zone Headquarters immediately. I want to talk to Commander Xue."

Xiao Qi smiled and said, "Boss! I have already pulled the wires. They are upstairs in the living room."

Xiang Chu praised again: "You did a great job! Set up sentries around to prevent outsiders from approaching."

"Yes!"

Xiao Qi hurriedly accepted the order.

Xiang Chu and Kong Ling walked upstairs to the living room and said with a smile, "This Xiao Qi is first-rate among the spies."

Kong Ling suddenly realized, "Dad! It turns out that you have been planning to build a command post in Dawang Mountain."

Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Yes! We don't have any soldiers this time, we can't fight like we did in the last Changsha battle."

Kong Ling said angrily, "You are the supervisory officer. Can you hide behind this instead of going to the front-line command post to supervise the operations in the Ninth War Zone?"

Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Of course! Old Xue doesn't need a supervisor to hinder him in his battles. The farther I am away, the better. If he knew I was here to supervise him, he would be so happy that he would call me brother, believe it or not?"

Kong Ling shook his head and said, "I don't believe it!"

Xiang Chu smiled and said, "Okay! I'll call him now and convince you."

After saying this, he hurriedly picked up the phone and dialed the number connected to the commander of the Ninth War Zone.

As expected, when Commander Xue heard that he was staying at Dawang Mountain, he said happily:

"Mr. Chu! You are good at being a supervisor. I am deeply grateful to you."

Xiang Chu smiled and said, "Brother Xue! You fight on the front line, and I will recruit soldiers for you in the back. Hunan has a population of 15 million, and we will implement a universal military service. All men from 55 to years old will be trained in batches to go to the battlefield and fight the devils."

Commander Xue was moved by his words and said after a while: "Brother Chu! You came here to help me win the battle."

Xiang Chu smiled and said, "Of course! Otherwise, why would I come here? Sir, you exchanged space for time, and we will exchange time for troops, so that the Japanese will be defeated again in the Xiangjiang River."

Commander Xue said excitedly: "Great! Let the Japanese be defeated in the Xiangjiang River."

Xiang Chu warned, "The Japanese intelligence department is now equipped with advanced telecommunications detection equipment. When you communicate with your subordinates, you must prevent intelligence leaks."

Commander Xue laughed and said, "You intelligence guys are just too cautious."

Xiang Chu shouted: "I, Lord Chu, do not only collect intelligence, I also fight wars..."

Kong Ling pushed him and stopped him with a look, meaning that he should not argue with Commander Xue about who was better at fighting.

Xiang Chu changed his words and said, "Old Xue! Please keep my visit to Changsha a secret. If someone asks you, just say there is no supervisor."

Commander Xue laughed and said, "No problem! I wish you would do that. Haha!"

Xiang Chu put down the phone and said with a smile: "How is it? He doesn't need any supervisor at all."

Kong Ling sneered and said, "If you don't care about him, Jiang Wei will definitely take care of you two when he comes. Just wait and see."

Xiang Chu asked doubtfully: "Jiang Wei is just a liaison officer, would he do this?"

Kong Ling nodded and said, "Yes!"

Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "The Jiang family is quite capable. Let's go to the top of Dawang Mountain to watch the sunset."

Kong Ling asked with a smile: "How high? If it's higher, I won't go."

Xiang Chu smiled and said, "Only 276 meters!"

"go!"

Kong Ling said happily.

Dongting Lake, estuary of Xiangjiang River.

The Japanese navy's "Bixiong" was still cruising in a show of force.

Doihara Ken'er was lying on the sofa in the VIP room, eating melon, and said with a smile:

"Wow! The melons from Hunan, China are so sweet."

Gao Qiao Xiaozheng saw that he was covered in food and laughed at him:

"Head of the Bureau! The way you eat reminds me of a sacred animal."

Doihara Xianer asked with a smile: "What sacred animal?"

Takahashi Xiaozheng spat out a word: "Pig!"

Doihara Kan'er said earnestly, "Xiaozheng! Now that you and Junko are married, you should respect your uncle."

Takahashi Xiaozheng bowed 90 degrees and apologized, "Uncle! Xiaozheng was wrong."

Doihara Ken'er nodded with satisfaction and ordered, "Xiaozheng! Call Sabei Takao and ask him where he has taken the regiment to?"

"Hello!"

Takahashi Komasa hurriedly took the order and sent a telegram.

After finishing the melon, Doihara Kenji opened five cans of food and started eating them with relish.

Not long after, Gao Qiao Xiaozheng received a call back from Zhang Fei, reporting:

"Chief! Sabei Takao said the navy won't give them a ship, so they can't come over."

Doihara Kan'er exclaimed, "What?! Hurry up and call Heping Ye over to this general."

"Row!"

Takahashi Xiaozheng hurriedly took the order and walked out of the cabin.

Soon, he turned back and said with a wry smile:

"Chief! Heiye is on another warship."

Doihara said angrily: "This guy is trying to avoid me, what a rubbish!"

Takahashi Xiaozheng said with a smile: "Chief! You don't have to be angry. Why don't we let the 'Bixiong' return to Yueyang and transport our squadron here?"

Doihara Xian'er said angrily: "There are thousands of marines on this warship. You want them to jump into Dongting Lake?"

Takahashi Komasa pointed to the shore and said, "Let them go ashore. They will have to go ashore to fight sooner or later anyway."

Doihara Ken'er nodded and said, "Yoshi! Let them attack Qingshan and use up some of the Chinese troops for my regiment. Then we can get a big advantage later."

Takahashi Komasa smiled bitterly and said, "Then you have to forge an order from the headquarters."

Doihara Xian'er said with a smile: "Isn't this easy? You pretend to be the headquarters and send a message to the radio station on the ship, asking the Hepingye Detachment Marines to go ashore immediately and attack the China Qingshan defenders."

Takahashi Komasa said with a smile: "General! It would be a waste of your talent if you don't go to Hollywood to be an actor."

Doihara Kenji waved his hand and said, "No! My dream is to be a director and have sex with female stars like Yamada Isuzu."

"You are so shameless!"

Takahashi Komasa muttered and sent a message to the radio station on the "Bixiong".

Soon, the warships approached the mouth of the Xiangjiang River, and small boats transported the Japanese soldiers ashore.

Doihara Xian'er ordered, "Xiao Zheng! Call the captain over."

"Hello!"

Takahashi Komasa hurriedly accepted the order.
