Chapter 1507: Forced Me to Go to Kunming to See My First Wife
Song Xi took the plaintext telegram and read it, wondering, "He doesn't have many men under his command. How could he possibly wipe out an entire battalion of Japanese soldiers?"
Xie Lan smiled and said, "There's also news that Colonel Mangshi hijacked a vehicle from the Xifeng Brigade, safely transported 500 wounded soldiers and civilians to Huitong Bridge, and then led his men to destroy the Japanese brigade in Mangshi."
Song Xi nodded and said, "It must be him. No one else could have robbed the Xifeng Brigade's vehicle. But I still don't understand how he wiped out an entire Japanese battalion."
Xie Lan smiled and said, "His subordinates are all super agents. They can defeat a hundred with one. They are very powerful."
At this moment, Xiang Ying hurried over and reported:
"Director Song! The joint meeting is about to begin. Commander Luo invites you over."
Song Xi nodded, returned the message to Xie Lan, and said with a smile:
"Xie Lan! Let's talk about this another time."
"it is good!"
Xie Lan said happily.
Song Xi walked into the joint meeting office. Only Chief Luo and Lin Wei and a few others came over.
Commander Luo smiled bitterly and said, "Director Song! The British and American liaison officers never come in advance. Let's wait."
Song Xi shook his head and said, "These Europeans and Americans are too arrogant. They look down on us from the bottom of their hearts. Little do they know that our expeditionary force's record far exceeds theirs."
Lin Wei echoed, "If it weren't for their indecision and lack of cooperation, the situation wouldn't be like this."
Commander Luo changed the subject and asked with a smile, "Director Song! Our army's biggest difficulty right now is that we can't fully grasp the movements of the Japanese army."
Song Xi knew what he was thinking and nodded, "Don't worry! I'll ask over there later."
Commander Luo said happily: "Good! That's great!"
At this time, a staff officer walked into the conference room and reported:
"Sir! The Xifeng Brigade has filed a complaint. Colonel Mangshi's men abandoned their deputy, He Peng, and others at Huitong Bridge and fled west with the trucks. Please make sure to find out the identity of Colonel Mangshi, otherwise they..."
Commander Luo angrily asked, "Otherwise, will they rebel?"
Song Xi comforted him, "Captain Luo! Don't be angry. The British and American liaison officer hasn't arrived yet. I'll send a telegram to inquire about the situation."
Commander Luo nodded and said, "Okay!"
Song Xi asked, "Xiang Ying! Is the radio connected?"
Xiang Ying nodded and said, "It's in the attic upstairs!"
"it is good!"
Song Xi nodded.
She went up to the attic and sent a telegram to Xiang Chu.
Not long after, a long reply arrived: "Seven points! Xifeng Brigade is transporting opium, and the trucks have been requisitioned by me to transport the wounded and civilians. If the garrisons in the towns do not hold out, I hope they can evacuate the people and destroy the supplies. The Japanese troops, disguised as refugees, have advanced westward to Longling. I hope to strengthen inspections along the way. Blindfolded men!"
"opium?!"
Song Xi said bitterly and walked down the attic.
She handed the message to Commander Luo and sneered:
"Commander Luo! Look at what He Peng of the Xifeng Brigade has done."
Commander Luo took the telegram, slammed his fist on the conference table, and said angrily:
"Transporting opium! It's true that the bad guys are the first to complain."
Song Xi ordered, "Xiang Ying! Go find the US-British liaison officer and ask if they're coming to open the gate now."
"Yes!"
Xiang Ying hurriedly accepted the order.
She walked out of the meeting room and ran into Zeng Yun and Chen Hua.
Chen Hua asked doubtfully, "Sister Xiang! Are you in Kunming too?"
Xiang Ying smiled and said, "Yes! I came here with Director Song. I have something urgent to do, so you guys go ahead and do your work first."
After she finished speaking, she turned and ran into the command center.
Zeng Yun whispered, "Chen Hua! Keep a close eye on Song Xi and Xiang Ying."
"Yes!"
Chen Hua bowed and accepted the order.
East of Mangshi, on the Burma Road.
Three large trucks were parked on the side of the road, waiting for Xiang Chu to send a message.
After Xiang Chu sent and received the telegram, he ordered:
"Get in the car! Let's go!"
Liu Zhengxiong smiled bitterly and said, "Okay! Let's hang it on the side of the carriage."
Xiang Chu scolded: "Don't complain, the good seats in the carriage should be given to the wounded soldiers."
Liu Zhengxiong shouted, "Who's complaining? It's quite cool hanging next to the carriage."
At this moment, a shadow spy came running over from the west and said anxiously:
"Boss! More than 20 Japanese cavalrymen on Yunnan horses are chasing us."
Liu Zhengxiong said happily: "Great! It must be Doihara Ken'er who sent the horse over."
Xiang Chu loudly ordered: "The convoy will go ahead, and the shadow spies will ambush in the jungle on both sides, ready to snipe the Japanese and steal their horses!"
"Yes!"
All the spies obeyed the order in unison.
Xiang Chu waved his hand, and the shadow spies picked up sniper rifles and rushed into the jungle, and three trucks sped to the east.
Soon, more than 20 Japanese cavalrymen riding Yunnan horses, holding up the "earth" flag, chased after them, howling.
Xiang Chu shouted, "Brothers! Eliminate the approaching devils in order, don't hurt the horses, and shoot at the same time when I whistle."
"Yes!"
Everyone obeyed the order in a low voice.
The Japanese cavalry entered the sniper range and a whistle sounded.
The sounds of "Bang! Bang!" continued incessantly.
The Japanese soldiers were sniped and killed almost at the same time and fell off their horses.
"Grab the horse!"
Xiang Chu roared angrily and flew out of the jungle.
He did a somersault and jumped onto the galloping Dian horse in front, then reached out and grabbed the reins of a Dian horse next to him, slowly slowing down to block the horses behind him.
"it is good!"
The shadow spies cheered and rushed onto the horses.
Only Liu Zhengxiong failed to grab the horse, and was very embarrassed.
Xiang Chu jumped off his horse and said with a smile, "Old Liu! This horse is for you."
Liu Zhengxiong said happily: "You still care about me."
Xiang Chu ordered, "You lead the cavalry to guard the rear and clean up the battlefield. I have to go get in the carriage."
"Yes!"
Liu Zhengxiong hurriedly accepted the order.
The last truck turned around and drove towards here.
Liu Zhengxiong suggested, "Doihara Xian'er is chasing us too closely. We'd better slow him down. There's too much debris on the Burma Road, making it very difficult to travel. If we're caught up, we're finished."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Yes! I will report to the Japanese headquarters that the Doihara Kaner Regiment should go to Mandalay with the 33rd Division and should not steal the credit from the 56th Division."
At this time, the truck stopped beside Xiang Chu and Ma Fugui pushed open the driver's door.
Liu Zhengxiong smiled and said, "That's a good idea! Hurry up and get in the car and send the message."
Xiang Chu scolded: "Who is commanding who?"
After saying this, he got into the driver's seat and drove away.
Liu Zhengxiong shouted, "How dare you not adopt the opinions of the masses?"
Xiang Chu pretended not to hear, drafted a telegram, and ordered:
"Fugui! Send a message to the enemy's headquarters."
"Yes!"
Ma Fugui hurriedly accepted the order.
Soon, I received a call back, reporting:
"Boss! The Japanese headquarters asked you to report the current situation in western Yunnan."
Xiang Chu didn't want the Japs to advance too quickly and disrupt their deployment, so he thought for a moment and said:
"Fugui! Call the Japanese headquarters. Doihara's Takahashi Battalion was completely wiped out by the Chinese army. This shows that the Chinese defenders in western Yunnan have not collapsed. We should quickly repair the Burma Road and have the 15th Army advance eastward to Chongqing."
"Yes!"
Ma Fugui hurriedly sent a telegram.
Soon, a call came back: "Director of the Film Agency! I hope you can go deeper into Chinese territory and steal intelligence for our army."
Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "These devils really don't care about my life or death, and forced me to go to Kunming to see my first wife."
At this time, Ma Fugui received a telegram reporting:
"Boss! Doihara Ken'er called and asked why you reported him to headquarters."
Xiang Chu waved his hand and said, "No need to reply to him, let him guess for himself."
