Chapter 1733 I estimate the garrison won't listen to your command.
When Doihara Kenji saw Ushijima Sekiko chasing after him, he quickly stopped.
He said with immense gratitude, "Guanzi! Thank you for risking your life to save me."
Sekiko Ushijima grabbed his hand and said urgently:
"General! Let's get on the ship quickly, or we'll be caught by Tojo Aoame."
The two supported each other and jogged all the way to the boat.
They sat in the cabin and nestled together affectionately.
Doihara Hamaji said bitterly, "That wicked Tojo Seiyu actually humiliated and beat me in public. I must find a way to kill him."
Ushijima Sekiko shook his head and said, "No! He is both a retainer of the Prime Minister and an intelligence officer of the 11th Army. If you dare to lay a hand on him, your life will be in danger."
Doihara Hamaji smiled mysteriously and said, "Of course I'm not stupid enough to do it myself. There are fools who hate the Tojo family even more than I do."
Ushijima Sekiko asked in confusion, "Who?"
Doihara Hamako said with a smile, "Chief of the Shadow Agency!"
Ushijima Sekiko nodded and said, "Yes! Tojo Aofu once humiliated our section chief and tried to take her position. Our section chief must have had the Kagemoto chief kill him."
Doihara Hamaji sneered, "Tojo Seiyu will definitely go to the front line. I will send someone to keep an eye on him and inform the Kagemoto Chief of his location."
Ushijima Sekiko shook his head and said, "The Shadow Agency Chief is also an Imperial General. Why would he send someone to the front lines to kill Imperial officers?"
Doihara Hama said with a smile, "In order to please those Chinese women and gain a foothold in Chongqing, the head of the Shadow Agency must have some military achievements. This is the best intelligence for him."
Ushijima Sekiko nodded and said, "Yes! You should quickly send someone to keep a close eye on Tojo Aoyu. That bastard actually slapped me in public and questioned my beauty."
Doihara Hamaji said bitterly, "He also hit me, General. If I don't avenge this, I'll be a disgrace."
"Boom! Boom!"
On the south bank of the Yangtze River, cannon fire rang out from the southwest.
Doihara Hamako hurriedly picked up the phone and gave the instructions:
"Captain! Set sail for the south bank."
"Hello!"
The speedboat captain hurriedly accepted the order.
At dawn, southwest of Yuyang Pass.
Xiang Chu led 50 cavalrymen to Nanpo Village overnight.
In Nanpo Village, firelight flickered and smoke billowed into the air.
Yu Xiaowan said bitterly, "Brother Chu! Doihara Hiroko's reconnaissance team must have massacred the village."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Yes! Wherever the Japanese troops went, they burned, killed, and looted."
Wei Feng followed and said urgently, "Boss! Let's start the attack."
Xiang Chu waved his hand and said, "No rush! Imitate the call of a night bird and summon Xiao Liu over."
"Yes!"
Wei Feng hurriedly accepted the order.
He dismounted and ran into the forest, mimicking the call of a cuckoo a few times.
Yu Xiaowan laughed and said, "Brother Chu! It doesn't seem quite right."
Xiang Chu smiled wryly, "Wei Feng has been in Chongqing for a long time and has become somewhat rusty in combat skills. But the Japanese are so stupid, they definitely won't be able to tell the difference."
Before long, Xiao Liu rushed over with three spies, saying urgently, "Boss! There are a hundred Japanese soldiers in Nanpo Village. Last night they burned, killed, and looted. We almost couldn't resist attacking them."
The Japanese are all asleep now, let's launch an attack quickly.
Xiang Chu nodded, waved his hand, and said coldly, "Dismount! Proceed according to plan, don't let a single Japanese soldier escape."
"Yes!"
Everyone accepted the order in unison and immediately split up to carry it out.
As its name suggests, Nanpo Village is located on the southern slope of the mountain.
Xiang Chu picked up a submachine gun and charged into the village, firing indiscriminately.
Yu Xiaowan and the others hurriedly followed in his footsteps and opened fire fiercely.
The gunfire produced by 50 men is equivalent to the firepower of an entire battalion.
The Japanese soldiers living in the houses on both sides of the road went to hell in their sleep.
To receive telegrams, Takahashi Kosei lived on a small hill next to the station with the radio operator.
He had set up a tent and was fast asleep inside.
In the stillness of dawn, a sudden burst of gunfire roused him from his sleep.
Startled, Takahashi Kosei jumped up, shoved the radio operator awake, and said urgently:
"Radio operator! Get up and take the radio with you."
The Japanese radio operator scrambled to his feet, exclaiming in surprise, "Captain! Our troops are ceasing resistance?"
Takahashi Kosei shouted, "What's the point of resisting! With such intense gunfire, the Chinese army has deployed at least a battalion. Our men are drunk and unable to mount an effective counterattack. Let's run!"
"Hello!"
The Japanese radio operator hurriedly received the order.
"Da-da! Da-da-da!"
A burst of bullets was fired at the two men.
Takahashi Kosei rolled on the spot and rolled into the dense forest below.
He unfortunately rolled into a tree hole and remained motionless.
Above, the Japanese radio operator was shot in the chest and died instantly.
Xiao Liu led Wei Feng and the others up, pointing at the radio and saying:
"Brother Wei! This place should be the command post of the Japanese reconnaissance team."
Wei Feng glanced around and shook his head, saying, "What a pity! We didn't catch the captain."
Xiao Liu, worried that Takahashi Kosei might be hiding nearby, scanned the surroundings with a burst of bullets and deliberately said loudly, "I didn't expect the information given by Ohno Shiro to be so accurate. There really is a Japanese reconnaissance team here."
Wei Feng asked in confusion, "Who is Ōno Shirō?"
Xiao Liu laughed and said, "We've captured Tojo Aofu's follower."
Wei Feng praised, "Not bad! You even captured a live Japanese spy."
At that moment, the sound of gunfire came from the east.
Immediately afterwards, the bugle call to retreat sounded.
"withdraw!"
Wei Feng waved his hand and led everyone down the hill.
Takahashi Kosei heard their footsteps fading into the distance before cautiously crawling out of the tree hole and hurriedly running eastward.
At the entrance of Nanpo Village, the grain drying square.
The weapons and ammunition seized by Xiang Chu and his men were piled up into a small mountain.
Yu Xiaowan said happily, "Brother Chu! We've struck it rich!"
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "It just so happens that many new recruits don't have weapons, this solves that problem."
At this moment, Wang Zizai rode over and reported loudly:
"Boss! The Japanese 3rd Division has captured Gong'an and Songzi, and the 13th Division has assembled in Nuanshui Street and Liujiachang. The vanguard is heading straight for Yuyangguan."
Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "How did this battle go? The Japanese army is advancing too quickly."
Yu Xiaowan advised, "Brother Chu! Don't be angry, let's retreat quickly."
Xiang Chu nodded and ordered, "Quickly! Load the supplies onto the horses and prepare to retreat!"
"Yes!"
Wei Feng and the others hurriedly accepted the order.
The group hurriedly loaded the captured weapons and ammunition onto their horses and quickly departed.
Yu Xiaowan suggested, "Brother Chu! So many supplies will exhaust these precious warhorses. Why don't we go to Yuyang Pass, ask the garrison for a boat, load the supplies onto the boat, and take the Yuyang River into the Qingjiang River back to Gaojiazui?"
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Yes! Let's also take a look at the fortifications of Yuyang Pass. If Yuyang Pass falls, the Three Gorges Key Stone Tablet and the Sixth War Zone Command will all be in extreme danger."
Yu Xiaowan shook her head and said, "I doubt the garrison will listen to you."
Xiang Chu said irritably, "I am a senior advisor appointed by the Supreme Command, how dare they disobey me?"
Yu Xiaowan scoffed, "Senior advisor? Can you even be considered respectable?"
Xiang Chu smiled wryly and said, "Of course it can't be made public! We should keep a low profile. Send a telegram to Minister Chen to report the enemy situation, and also ask the garrison at Yuyang Pass to prepare a ship for us to transport our spoils of war."
"Yes!"
Yu Xiaowan hurriedly accepted the order.
She took the radio off her horse and started sending messages right there by the roadside.
Xiang Chu unfolded the map, staring at Yuyang Pass with a furrowed brow.
