Chapter 1735 There is no chance to avenge this humiliation
Takahashi Kosei said with a wry smile, "General! What's the use of telling the Shadow Agency Chief?"
Doihara Hamaji smiled mysteriously and said, "The Kagemushachi will definitely eliminate Tojo Seiyu."
Takahashi Kosei shook his head and said, "How could that be! The Chief of the Shadow Agency wouldn't be used as a pawn by you."
Ushijima Sekiko said dejectedly, "General! I sent a telegram to the Shadow Agency, but I haven't received a reply yet."
Doihara Kenji sneered, "No reply doesn't mean he didn't receive it. Ignore it! The Kagemusha chief will definitely make Tojo Aoyu die without a burial place."
Takahashi Kosei warned, "General! You've made a mistake. What if the Shadow Agency Chief betrays you? You'll be in trouble!"
Doihara Kenji glared at him and scolded, "This general is always meticulous and will naturally send the message anonymously. Go ashore and find Sakai Taro, and serve as his chief of staff. Our army will follow the main force and march into Chongqing."
"Hah!"
Takahashi Kosei bowed and accepted the order.
Ushijima Sekiko, who hated Tojo Aoyu to the extreme, suggested, "General! What if the Shadow Agency Chief doesn't ambush Tojo Aoyu? Why don't you leak this intelligence to the Chinese Military Intelligence Bureau?"
Doihara Hamako nodded and said, "Alright! Let the head of the Shadow Agency and the Chinese Military Intelligence Bureau compete against each other."
Xiang Chu's residence is located at Gaojiazu, Sandouping, Enshi.
Yu Xiaowan received a telegram from Ushijima Sekiko and asked in confusion:
"Brother Chu! This telegram isn't signed, who could have sent it?"
Xiang Chu took the telegram and said without hesitation, "It must have been sent by Doihara Hiroki. He hates the Tojo Seifu brothers and wants to use me to get rid of Tojo Seiyu."
Yu Xiaowan said with a wry smile, "How much must Doihara Hiroki hate Tojo Seiyu to reveal the intelligence about his sneak attack on the Sixth War Zone Command to us? You should thank him."
Xiang Chu said irritably, "Why thank him? He'll definitely get me in trouble later. Send a telegram to Minister Chen, telling him to immediately send troops to intercept and kill Tojo Aoyu, and to protect himself."
"Yes!"
Yu Xiaowan hurriedly accepted the order and sent a telegram.
Shortly after, she received a call back reporting:
"Brother Chu! Minister Chen called. The Military Intelligence Bureau also received similar intelligence. Dai Nong has already dispatched Tang Cong with 800 Military Intelligence Bureau agents to intercept and kill Tojo Aoyu. That cunning Doihara Hiroko doesn't believe you would target Tojo Aoyu, and at the same time, he informed the Military Intelligence Bureau."
Xiang Chu laughed and said, "Isn't this a good thing? It saves us trouble. Eight hundred Kuomintang agents fighting two hundred Japanese agents should be a foregone conclusion."
Yu Xiaowan shook her head and said, "Brother Chu! I don't think we can rely on the Military Intelligence Bureau. You should send someone to keep a close eye on Tojo Aoyu and his gang of Japanese devils."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Of course! We absolutely cannot let Tojo Aoyu's raiding party escape, otherwise it will cause a major disaster on the front line."
At this moment, Liu Zhengxiong tied several thorns to his back and ran into the cave.
Yu Xiaowan said angrily, "Uncle Liu! Brother Chu didn't hold you accountable for your mistake, so why are you acting like Lian Po, carrying thorns on your back to apologize?"
Liu Zhengxiong said solemnly, "No! Wrong is wrong, and it deserves to be punished. In ancient times, this would be a capital offense punishable by death."
Xiang Chu pulled the thorns off his back and praised, "Your attitude is quite sincere! Getting lost can't be entirely your fault, I also bear some responsibility."
Liu Zhengxiong volunteered: "Advisor Chu! Give me another difficult combat mission, and I will definitely complete it."
Xiang Chu waved his hand and said, "Training new recruits is the most difficult task right now, so go and get busy."
Liu Zhengxiong pleaded, "Gan Rong and the others are better at training new recruits than I am. Give me a mission to kill Japanese devils. You don't know, I've become the laughingstock of Xiao Liu and the others, and a fool in the eyes of the soldiers."
Xiang Chu said incredulously, "Is it really that serious?!"
Liu Zhengxiong exclaimed, "If it weren't serious, would I need to carry thorns to apologize?"
Yu Xiaowan laughed and said, "Uncle Liu! So you were just acting."
Liu Zhengxiong laughed and said, "Who said that? Hey! What telegram do you have in your hand?"
Yu Xiaowan handed him the telegram and smiled, saying, "Tojo Aoyu is leading a 200-strong Japanese raiding party, disguised as our officers and soldiers, intending to advance westward along Chexi and outflank the Sixth War Zone Command..."
Liu Zhengxiong interrupted her, saying urgently, "Advisor Chu! Let me lead men to wipe out Tojo Aoyu and his gang of Japanese spies."
Xiang Chu said with a wry smile, "The Military Intelligence Bureau has also received intelligence that Dai Nong has already sent Tang Cong with 800 Military Intelligence Bureau agents to eliminate him."
Liu Zhengxiong nodded and said, "Eight hundred Kuomintang agents fighting two hundred Japanese spies should be a foregone conclusion. Alas! I still don't have the chance to avenge my humiliation."
Xiang Chu said irritably, "Our main defensive focus right now is Shipai. With a major battle imminent, how can we not have a chance to avenge our previous defeat?"
At this moment, Xiao Liu rushed in and reported: "Boss! Our reconnaissance team discovered two hundred Japanese spies disguised as our officers and soldiers at Juanqiao River. They are advancing westward along Juanqiao River."
Xiang Chu found Juanqiao River on the map and asked in confusion, "Could it be that Doihara Hiroki deliberately gave me and the Military Intelligence Bureau false information? Or did Tojo Aoyu deliberately mislead the agents planted by Doihara Hiroki?"
Liu Zhengxiong said urgently, "It must be fake. Chexi is south of Juanqiao River. How could the Japanese have gone that far? Advisor Chu! I am willing to lead troops to wipe out these Japanese devils and guarantee that not a single one will escape."
Xiang Chu nodded and ordered, "Old Liu! Xiao Liu! You two take the elite special forces team and the nearby reconnaissance agents and rush to Juanqiao River to wipe out Tojo Aoyu's raiding party. Don't worry about not letting a single Japanese soldier escape, just make sure Tojo Aoyu is dead."
"Yes!"
Liu Zhengxiong and Xiao Liu hurriedly accepted the order and rushed out of the cave.
Yu Xiaowan picked up the thorns and said with a bitter smile:
"Uncle Liu is still like a child."
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "He's just a man of strong emotions."
Yu Xiaowan asked with a smile, "Brother Chu! Should we tell the Military Intelligence Bureau the exact location of Tojo Aoyu's raiding party?"
Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "No need! There are definitely still people under Doihara Hiroki's command within the Military Intelligence Bureau. Besides, we don't know if there are any Japanese agents in Qiaoxi. Let them go there."
Yu Xiaowan nodded and said, "To be on the safe side, it's best if we each do our own thing."
Xiang Chu set the frequency knobs of the three radios in the cave to the commonly used call signs of the Japanese army, air force, and navy, respectively.
The Japanese soldiers' gibberish immediately came through the three radios.
In the air, the roar of Japanese planes could be heard.
Yu Xiaowan asked worriedly, "Brother Chu! How long do you think Yuyang Pass can be held?"
Xiang Chu held up two fingers and said, "Two days at most!"
Yu Xiaowan shook her head and said, "Yuyang Pass is easy to defend but difficult to attack; it will definitely not be able to hold out for more than two days."
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly: "The Japanese have launched at least a hundred sorties to bomb Yuyang Pass, in addition to poison gas and chemical weapons, heavy artillery bombardment, and daring charges. Although our defenders are brave, most of them are new recruits, and the disparity in strength is too great. If our retreat is cut off, we will definitely retreat."
Yu Xiaowan said worriedly, "If the Japanese soldiers cross the Qingjiang River, they will be here soon."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Yes! It would be best to hold Yuyang Pass for another half a day and let us eliminate Tojo Seiyu's raiding party first."
At this moment, Ma Fugui arrived at the door and reported:
"Advisor Chu! Yuyang Pass has fallen."
