Chapter 811 Hengyang is in danger
The interactions among the upper classes always have to maintain a degree of decency; after all, an enemy today may become the most loyal ally tomorrow.
Chen Bulei turned his head with a gloomy face, looking at Li Zongren, who was familiar to him in the past. His eyes narrowed slightly, and a murderous aura spread out:
"General Li, why do you want me to stay here?"
Li Zongren killed more people than Chen Bulei killed chickens. No, more people than he ate chickens. Do you still care about his "murderous aura"?
"Haha, don't be nervous, Mr. Bray. I'm just trying to make trouble for you. Don't forget to pay for the newspaper. This is my niece's small business. Please take care of her!"
Chen Bulei snorted coldly. It was obvious that Li Zongren was making fun of him. However, now that he was at a disadvantage, he looked a little downtrodden no matter what he did.
"nature!"
Chen Bulei glanced at his subordinate beside him and handed him a large bill.
"No need to look for it, just consider it as taking care of the business!"
Li Zongren took it and bowed, saying with a smile:
"Hahaha, thank you very much!"
Chen Bulei's men cleared the way and squeezed through the bustling crowd. The celebration here seemed to have nothing to do with him, and even seemed like a ruthless mockery of him.
When Chen Bulei walked away, Li Zongren shouted at the top of his voice:
"Thank you Mr. Chen Bulei for donating to the independent column to fight the war in the south. When the war is won in the future, I will definitely record Mr. Bulei's name on the title page of the Anti-Japanese War Records!"
Chen Bulei staggered. If this matter got to the ears of Chang Guangzhou, he would not know what was going on, and would have to leave his name on the list of honors. I think that would be like an old man eating arsenic - he was too proud to live!
Chen Bulei stumbled into the car and ran away in shame. He had to reach the official residence before the spies reported the matter to Chang Guangzhou and seize the "initiative"!
After Li Zongren sent Chen Bulei away, he waved his fist and shouted to the crowd:
"We implore the independent column to march south to fight!"
Word spread from one person to ten, from ten to a hundred, and the shouts from the crowd gradually merged into thunder that reached the sky, resounding through the clouds.
Led by Li Zongren, thousands of celebrities and common people gathered in front of the central government building and shouted the words "We sincerely request the independent column to go south to fight the war" throughout the building.
Chang Guangzhou, who was inside the building, irritably ordered his servants to close the windows, and then looked at Chen Bulei coldly.
"Xun En, tell me what's going on. We just suppressed it a few days ago, why is it happening again now? Did something happen?"
Chen Bulei immediately reported what he had seen and heard this morning to Chang Guangzhou, and also put the newspaper bought with a large bill in front of him.
"Sir, this is the situation. Please make the decision!"
He finished reading the newspaper in silence, staring at Sakuma Hitoshi's head which was about to explode, feeling extremely depressed.
A few days ago, he had threatened that even if the independent column went south to join the war, it might be useless. But now, they only dispatched a small force and killed dozens of middle and senior officers, with brilliant results.
It seems that we should not set flags randomly, or we will be slapped in the face in minutes.
Chang Guangzhou doesn't dare to make a decision easily now. After all, he has challenged the bottom line of the people across the country time and time again.
A blacksmith must be strong himself, so Guangzhou changed its strategy.
"What the Independent Column can do, the Central Army can do too. Order Xue Yue to organize a crack army to kill the enemy's senior officers. Also notify Dai Li and have them send someone to cause some trouble for the enemy!"
There is only one word to describe Guangzhou now: delay.
He would try to hold out until the Japanese were exhausted and until the M Army's planes and material aid arrived. Then he would personally command the Ninth War Zone's full-scale counterattack!
After Xue Yue received the telegram, his forehead was swollen. The Japanese must have been on high alert now. After all, they had just suffered such a huge loss.
However, even though the difficulties were numerous, Xue Yue did not dare to disobey orders.
Therefore, the Ninth War Zone organized a commando team of about 68 people, equipped with a full set of American equipment, and took advantage of the cover of night to attack the chaotic th Division.
Xue Yue's original idea was to take advantage of the fact that the 68th Division's command system had not yet been restored to kill him. He did not expect to kill the Japanese general, but at least he could get him the rank of colonel!
This commando team of more than 57 people put on the Japanese military uniforms and lurked near the headquarters of the th Brigade.
But before they launched the attack, the Japanese seemed to have anticipated their arrival and conducted a special check on the "Imperial Army" with strange expressions and equipped with other weapons.
It would have been fine if they hadn't checked, but once they did, the truth was revealed and they were immediately put into action.
Fortunately, the commandos were equipped with Thompson submachine guns with strong firepower, so they rushed and fought fiercely until they reached the 57th Brigade Headquarters, which was very close to them. However, they were unable to advance any further and finally all died heroically.
By the afternoon of the next day, the commando team had not returned yet, and Xue Yue knew that the commando team was in great danger. It was not until the Japanese hung the commando team's bodies on the battlefield that Xue Yue's heart completely died.
At the same time, although Dai Li's Military Intelligence Bureau launched some sabotage operations in the enemy-occupied areas, most of the Japanese high-ranking officials were heavily protected by troops, so the targets of assassination were at most some middle-level traitors, and the effect was average.
Even though I didn’t catch any fish, these little shrimps can be considered a harvest!
The Dagang Daily immediately published the so-called victory results on the front page, and Chongqing Radio Station also broadcast the victory results in a loop.
But only Chang Guangzhou listened with great interest, while the others felt extremely embarrassed. How could a few traitors compete with a serious lieutenant general of the Japanese devils?
It's not that the military's combat effectiveness is not good. After all, they have successfully planned many assassinations and killed many important targets. It's just that this mission was too urgent and there was no careful plan, so it was difficult to assassinate the key targets.
Chang Guangzhou took the opportunity to give a speech and promised that Hengyang City could be defended, otherwise he would consider unconditionally accepting all suggestions from the masses.
This is also a helpless move. He is now trying his best to seek help from Country M. If the Country M's flying team in China can fully cooperate with the Ninth War Zone's operations and provide aviation kerosene, their planes that have been grounded due to lack of fuel can take off again.
The situation of the battle will inevitably be reversed by then, so what he needs most now is time.
Li Zongren had never seen such shameless people, and immediately organized larger-scale demonstrations among the people.
1944年4月26日，第68师团补充军官之后，与第34师团对衡阳发动更加猛烈的进攻。
The Japanese mobilized 150mm howitzers and aircraft to carry out a massive bombing on Hengyang City, destroying two-thirds of the houses in the city. They also used a large number of poison gas bombs, causing heavy losses to the defenders.
Hengyang is in danger!
