Chapter 1316: A Really Big Mouth
Perhaps Doihara Kenji's life would not end.
At this critical moment, the radio operator rushed out of the tent and reported loudly:
"Your Excellency, Chief of Staff! Officer Takahashi reports on the great victory in Changsha."
"Yoshi! Finally there's good news."
Doihara Kan'er cheered excitedly.
He turned and ran into the tent, picked up the telegram, stared at it for a long time, and suddenly burst into tears.
Zhang Fei asked in confusion: "Director! What's wrong with you?"
Doihara Ken'er said with tears in his eyes: "The shadow of my failure in Doi Tunbao has finally been wiped out by the victory in Changsha. Haha!"
It only took him 1 second to go from crying to laughing.
Zhang Fei felt like he was in a state of confusion, and instinctively questioned:
"Chief! The casualty ratio is an astonishing one to ten. There's something wrong with this message. Think about it, a squadron only has two hundred people. How could they possibly kill two thousand Chinese soldiers?"
How could Doihara Kan'er listen to such sarcasm? He angrily rebuked, "Our army conducted a surprise attack, how could it be impossible? You are showing envy and jealousy towards Takahashi Komasa. You can't be like this, understand?"
"understood!"
Zhang Fei bowed.
Doihara Ken'er ordered, "Telegraph! Send this victory message to the headquarters."
"Hello!"
The radio operator Zhu Di hurriedly received the order and sent a telegram to the base camp.
Not long after, he received a call back from the headquarters, reading loudly:
"Captain Zhuji! Your unit is the vanguard of the attack on Changsha. We will commend the entire army and award you the Red Sun Medal. I hope you will keep up the good work."
Doihara Ken'er grabbed the telegram paper, kissed it several times, and cheered: "Wow! I finally got the Red Sun Medal. Xiaolang! Make a Red Sun Medal right away, and I will hang it on my chest right away."
"Hello!"
Zhang Fei hurriedly accepted the order.
He randomly drew the sun with a red pen, but in his heart he was wondering why Xiang Chu did not ambush.
Seeing that he had almost finished the painting, Doihara Kan'er couldn't wait to grab it and pin it on his chest.
At this time, the radio transmission sounded again.
Doihara Kan'er said excitedly: "Telephone! It must be another victory report from Takahashi. Go quickly."
Before he could say anything, the radio operator Zhu Zhi had already sat down in front of the radio station and was transcribing the message.
Soon, he translated the telegram with a look of astonishment and disbelief on his face.
Doihara Kenji asked in confusion, "What's the matter? Did the victory scare you?"
The radio operator, Zhu Di, shook his head and said, "No! Because the Xiangjiang River water ghosts destroyed the motorboat, Nobi's squadron could not retreat, and fought a bloody battle with the Chinese reinforcements on the Xiangjiang River beach, and all of them were killed."
Doihara Kenji fell to the ground with one blow, shouting hysterically, "No! This is not true."
The radio operator shook his head and said, "It's true! Except for the command boat where Takahashi Kozheng broke through the siege and successfully escaped, everyone else was wiped out."
Zhang Fei knew that Gao Qiao Xiaozheng lied about military intelligence, and he was ecstatic. He consoled him, "Chief! Nobi Squadron has achieved great success, and we have no regrets in death!"
Doihara Ken'er nodded and said, "Yes! They died without regrets."
Zhang Fei suggested: "For your honor, this information does not need to be reported."
Doihara Ken'er said with a smile, "Of course there is no need to report it. Radio operator! Tell Takahashi Komasa to block the news of Nobi Squadron's collective demise."
"Hello!"
The radio operator Zhu Di bowed and accepted the order.
He sent a telegram, but there was no reply for a long time.
Doihara Kan'er said angrily:
"Send! Keep sending until Takahashi Xiaozheng replies."
Zhang Fei couldn't help but advise, "Chief! Stop sending telegrams so frequently. If they are detected by our intelligence agencies, wouldn't your false reporting of military intelligence be exposed?"
Doihara Kan'er pointed at him and shouted angrily: "Baka! Is there any intelligence agency in the world that is more powerful than the Takenori Agency? How could it be detected?"
At this time, the radio transmission sounded again.
Doihara Kenji said happily, "Yoshi! It must be a call back from Takahashi Komasa."
The radio operator Zhu Zhi translated the message and said in frustration: "Chief! Headquarters called and detected our message. Please quickly report the truth about the Nobi Squadron's raid on the desert."
"what?!"
Doihara Ken'er was stunned for a long time before he asked,
“Which agency detected it?”
The radio operator Bamboo Spy said thoughtfully: "Is it a shadowy agency?"
Doihara Kan'er said viciously: "Yes! It must be the Shadow Agency. The head of the Shadow Agency was jealous of me winning the Red Sun Medal and deliberately framed me.
Quick! Send a message to the headquarters, it's all slander from the head of the Shadow Agency."
Zhang Fei smiled bitterly and said, "Director! The entire Shadow Agency is on holiday. They don't even have the latest eavesdropping equipment. How could it be them?"
Doihara Xian'er sneered, "Nowadays, the intelligence agencies in China, apart from the Shadow Agency, are Aokimon and Shanghai Special High Section. Who else could it be other than the head of the Shadow Agency? Radio operator! Send a message."
"Hello!"
The radio operator shadow spy hurriedly took the order and sent the message.
Soon, a reply was received from the headquarters: "Bamboo Agency! It has nothing to do with the head of the Shadow Agency. It was discovered by the 11th Army Intelligence Department.
In view of the fact that Doihara Kan'ei openly falsely accused the head of the Shadow Agency, he was demoted to a pseudo-lieutenant general. He will be allowed to return to his post only after he has made meritorious contributions. "
"what?!"
Doihara Kan'er exclaimed.
Due to excessive grief, he fell headfirst onto the bed and pretended to faint.
He regretted very much in his heart why he didn't listen to Sabei Takao.
At dawn, fog shrouded the Xiangjiang River.
At the foot of Yuelu Mountain in Changsha, on the mudflats on the left bank of the Xiangjiang River.
The Japanese corpses were piled up into a small hill and were being burned.
Hu Changsheng and Xiaoliu led the new recruits to sort the captured spoils into categories.
At a time when weapons, ammunition and supplies were scarce, a helmet was a treasure.
Xiang Chu and Kong Ling went to inspect the battlefield, accompanied by Liu Zhengxiong and Wei Feng.
Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "Old Liu! Wei Feng! I feel like the battle last night was so chaotic."
Liu Zhengxiong nodded and said, "Yes! The recruits were so nervous that they fired randomly."
Wei Feng smiled bitterly and said, "If it weren't for our shadow spies and guards using machine guns and grenade launchers to suppress them, the Japs might have rushed up Yuelu Mountain."
Xiang Chu ordered: "Announce to the public that this battle was fought by the new recruits. Don't mention our shadow spies and guards at all. This will give the new recruits confidence."
Kong Ling added: "Let the new recruits know that the Japanese are not invincible."
"Yes!"
Wei Feng accepted the order with firmness.
At this time, Xiao Qi jumped off a motorboat and reported loudly:
"Boss! A Japanese motorboat hid in Orange Island and escaped."
Xiang Chu said thoughtfully: "It must be that guy Gaoqiao Xiaozheng who escaped. He is as smart as his brother Gaoqiao Dazheng. Let's go! Get on the boat and go back to Dawang Mountain."
Kong Ling smiled and said, "Yes! It will be much easier for us to go back to Dawang Mountain by motorboat up the Xiang River."
At this time, Ma Fugui reported: "Mr. Chu! Commander Xue from the war zone said that we can just leave him half of the motorboats."
Kong Ling said angrily, "Xue is such a tyrant. He wants to take away our three motorboats at once."
Xiang Chu laughed and said, "Fifty thousand! Forget it! Just give him three ships. We should give him some benefits since we are on his territory."
Kong Ling ordered: "Xiao Qi! Pick out the three most dilapidated motorboats and keep them."
"Yes!"
Xiao Qi hurriedly accepted the order.
