Dai Nong waved his hand and said, "Stop pretending! Tomorrow morning you will take people to monitor the Chu Mansion."
Zheng Jie said with a grin, "I know! You've been explaining all night."
Dai Nong scolded, "Are you getting impatient? You must arrange for the right person, and whatever you do, don't let Wang Senwu and Wang Batian find out."
Zheng Jie said with a smile, "Director! I'll send Ye Ying and other newcomers to monitor this."
Dai Nong nodded and said, "Yes! Anyway, we must avoid using those old people from the Military Intelligence Bureau."
"understand!"
Zheng Jie nodded, then turned and made a hasty retreat.
Dai Nong picked up Yu Xiaowan's photo and said lecherously, "How come I didn't notice this super beauty when I was in Nanjing? Xiang Chu has been hoarding her for so many years."
Li Li stepped out of the inner room and advised, "Chief! Lord Chu's methods are ruthless..."
Dai Nong shouted, "Li Li! Is this any of your business? Get out!"
"Humph!"
Li Li stormed out of the office, thinking to herself:
"You lecherous devil, you'll die from a woman sooner or later."
Zoucheng, Kobayashi Senzaburo's command post.
Doihara Hamako rushed in excitedly and said happily:
"Qian Sanlang! I didn't expect you to come here as a commander."
Kobayashi Zenzaburo graduated from the same military academy as him, but was two years his junior.
Tufei Yuanxian'er is fat, talented and good at many things, and is a school heartthrob.
Kobayashi Kenzaburo said with a smile, "So it's Senior Xian'er. I didn't expect you to still be alive."
Doihara Hamako wasn't angry. He sat down in the armchair, picked up the cup on the table, and drank it all in one gulp.
Little did he know that the glass contained strong liquor, which burned him so much that he jumped up and roared:
"Qian Sanlang! Are you trying to poison your senior?"
Kobayashi Kenzaburo said with a smile, "Senior drinks too fast, there's no way to stop him."
Doihara Hama waved his hand and said, "Stop talking nonsense and replenish the senior with three thousand elite troops."
Kobayashi Kenzaburo shook his head and said, "Not that many! At most, a company has two hundred men."
Doihara Hama was furious and shouted, "Two hundred men! Are you trying to fob us off with beggars? This general is going to wipe out the main force of the Eighth Route Army Special Task Force on Mount Yi. You need at least two thousand men."
Kobayashi Senzaburo took out a telegram and handed it to him, saying with a smile, "According to the report from the garrison in the southern part of Fei County, the main force of the Eighth Route Army Special Task Force has gone to the Yimeng Mountains and is not in Yishan, so you can only have a maximum of two hundred men."
Doihara Hamako was taken aback and asked in confusion, "The Eighth Route Army Special Task Force went to the Yimeng Mountains? What about the Eighth Route Army on Mount Yi?"
Kobayashi Kenzaburo waved his hand and said, "They're just a bunch of puppet troops who surrendered to the Eighth Route Army. They don't even have electromagnetic communication capabilities, so they're definitely not the main force."
Doihara Kenji shook his head and said, "Absolutely impossible! Based on my intuition, the main force of the Eighth Route Army Special Task Force is on Mount Yi."
Kobayashi Senzaburo patted his broad shoulder and shook his head, saying, "Senior Xian'er! According to our scouts, there aren't many Eighth Route Army soldiers on Mount Yi."
Doihara Hamako asked, half-believing, "Are you telling the truth?!"
Kobayashi Kenzaburo wrote a transfer order and handed it to him, smiling, "Chiyogi Ryo's squad of two hundred men are all elites from Osaka. You will lead them to attack Mount Yi."
Doihara Kenji received the transfer order and said unhappily, "You have 50,000 elite troops, but you only give me 200 Osaka soldiers who know how to do business. You're really stingy."
Kobayashi Kenzaburo said with a smile, "Senior Xian'er! If it were Commander Okamura, he wouldn't give you even half a soldier."
Doihara Hamaru sneered, "If I'm going to attack Mount Yi, what are you going to do?"
Kobayashi Kenzaburo laughed and said, "This commander will lead the main force to Yimeng to annihilate the main force of the Eighth Route Army Special Task Force."
"Okay! See you later."
Doihara Hamako nodded, turned and ran out of the command post, thinking to himself:
"I'm not going to bother with Mount Yi! I'll just take two hundred Osaka soldiers to Shanghai to rebuild my Bamboo Machine and learn from the Shadow Machine, with the main goal of making a fortune!"
Kobayashi Zenzaburo followed him out with his chief of staff and called out, "Senior! Commander Okamura greatly admires your bacteriological warfare plan and has ordered you to submit a detailed report."
"Hmph! Dream on."
Doihara Hamaru said coldly, then mounted his horse and rode away.
The Japanese chief of staff shook his head and said, "Commander! This man is too arrogant."
Kobayashi Senzaburo waved his hand and said, "No! He has the ability to be arrogant. He can gather all the troops, take the railway to bypass the Yimeng Mountains, and wipe out the Eighth Route Army's Luxi Special Task Force."
"Hello!"
The Japanese chief of staff bowed and accepted the order.
Yishan, the command post of the special task force.
Xiang Chu spent several days creating a war sand table of the Yishan area.
At this moment, he and Zhang Fei were marking the enemy and friendly situation map in front of the combat sand table.
Qian Fu and others were listening to the radio; the entire command post was tense yet orderly.
Liu Zhengxiong rushed in, puzzled, and asked, "Commander! It's been quite a few days, why haven't the Japanese come to attack us yet?"
Xiang Chu said irritably, "Isn't it better not to fight? It gives us ample time to improve our defenses."
Zhang Fei scoffed, "Old Liu! If the Japanese don't attack you, are you itching for a beating?"
Liu Zhengxiong scolded, "You brat! You're in cahoots with some people, aren't you?"
"You can't even take a joke!"
Xiang Chu shook his head, paused, and pointed to the sand table, saying, "Deputy Captain! The reason the Japanese haven't attacked us is because we've hidden ourselves well. Now, the main force of the Japanese has gone to the Yimeng Mountains to attack the Third Battalion led by Lü Zheng."
Liu Zhengxiong said anxiously, "You've lured all the Japanese troops to Lü Zheng's side. Can they hold out?"
Xiang Chu laughed and said, "What's the rush? Tonight, you and Zhang Fei will each lead the 1st and 2nd battalions to attack Zoucheng, seize the Japanese army's food and supplies, and lure the main Japanese force back."
"Attack Zoucheng? We dare to attack Zoucheng!"
Liu Zhengxiong exclaimed in surprise, his eyes widening in shock.
Xiang Chu said irritably, "With so many of us, we're consuming a huge amount of resources every day. Go to Zoucheng and get some food to prevent running out of supplies prematurely. Zoucheng is undefended, with only one battalion of puppet troops. If you don't go, I'll have Zhang Fei lead two battalions there."
Liu Zhengxiong said with a smile, "You can't even take a joke! Since Xiaowan has already arrived in Yan'an, I'll go, okay? Chief of Staff! It's getting dark, let's get going."
"it is good!"
Zhang Fei nodded and followed him out of the command post.
Xiang Chu picked up the phone, connected with Gan Rong, and asked:
"Chief Instructor! Has the escape tunnel been dug yet?"
Gan Rong said happily, "We've dug it through! The tunnel exit is right next to the Xiwei River, where the vegetation is lush, making it easy for us to escape."
Xiang Chu was overjoyed and ordered, "Prepare the tools for building a pontoon bridge in advance. If we want to get rid of the Japanese, we will definitely have to cross the Xiwei River."
"Yes!"
Gan Rong hurriedly accepted the order.
"Boom! Boom!"
An explosion was heard at the top of Wuhua Peak.
Wang Zizai rushed in and said angrily, "Commander! Two Japanese planes flew over again for low-altitude reconnaissance. This time they even dropped two bombs, which destroyed the pillbox on the top of Wuhua Peak."
We have two direct-fire guns. Raise the muzzles a bit and take it down.
Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "No need! The direct-fire cannon is still for fighting the Japanese tanks."
"All right!"
Wang Zizai hurriedly accepted the order.
Qian Fu held up a stack of telegrams and asked, "Commander! Can we now use the radio to send replies to those telegrams that haven't received any replies?"
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "That's fine! Give me all the telegrams, and I'll reply."
After speaking, he took the telegram from Qian Fu, turned on the radio, and replied to each message.
