Chapter 1521 Will Be Killed by Him
The Xifeng Brigade has not yet established a firm foothold and its fortifications have not yet been completed.
If you don't listen to the advice, you will suffer a devastating disaster.
The Japanese artillery shells hit us head-on.
The officers and soldiers of the Xifeng Brigade abandoned their weapons and supplies and fled in all directions.
Such incompetence stimulated the Japanese's vigorous fighting spirit.
On the west bank of the river, the Japanese suicide squad was preparing to cross the river again.
Xiang Chu was extremely anxious and ordered, "Xiao Liu! The Japanese shelling is about to stop. Take your men to the road below and get some of the weapons and ammunition discarded by the Xifeng Brigade."
"Yes!"
Xiaoliu hurriedly took the order and ran out of the command post.
Liu Zhengxiong rushed into the command post and asked doubtfully:
"General! Why aren't the Japs shelling the mountain?"
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "If we bomb the mountain, mud and rocks will fall from it, which will definitely block the Dian-Mian Highway. The Japanese still want to advance directly and don't want to waste energy on building roads."
Liu Zhengxiong nodded and said, "Yes! That makes sense. If the Japanese rebuild the Huitong Bridge, will it be quick?"
Xiang Chu said thoughtfully: "Only the foundation of the bridge was blown up, and some thick steel cables have not been broken. If the Japanese control both sides of the Huitong Bridge, with their current infrastructure strength, the Huitong Bridge can be repaired and opened to traffic soon."
"what?!"
Liu Zhengxiong was stunned.
Xiang Chu ordered: "Old Liu! Take your men down the mountain to find the commander of the Xifeng Brigade and tell them to go up the mountain to stop the Japanese. Also, ask him for some weapons and ammunition."
Liu Zhengxiong smiled bitterly and said, "We have offended the Xifeng Brigade. Can their brigade commander provide us with weapons and ammunition?"
Xiang Chu waved his hand and said, "You go down the mountain to find the Xifeng Brigade and see if Song Xi and the 36th Division have arrived."
"Understood!"
Liu Zhengxiong nodded and hurried out of the command post.
Xiang Chu ordered: "Fugui! Call the Allied Command and send planes to bomb the Japs west of Huitong Bridge."
"Yes!"
Ma Fugui hurriedly took the order and sent a telegram.
Xiang Chu picked up the telescope and observed the other side of the Nujiang River.
The Japanese suicide squad has already assembled on the shore.
Captain Bai rushed into the command post and said anxiously:
"Sir! The Xifeng Brigade is blocking the road and preventing our military police and engineers from retreating."
Xiang Chu exclaimed in surprise: "Captain Bai! Didn't you say this was an order from above?"
Captain Bai smiled bitterly and said, "Of course I did, but the Xifeng Brigade said they hadn't received any notice from their superiors and would not let anyone leave. Otherwise, they would be shot on the spot."
Xiang Chu was speechless and asked, "Where has the Xifeng Brigade retreated to now?"
Captain Bai pointed to the north and said, "It's about three kilometers from Huitong Bridge. There's construction going on there."
Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "The Xifeng Brigade wants to let the Japanese cross the river before fighting? They are really fighting recklessly."
Captain Bai smiled bitterly and said, "I also advised them to go up the mountain to block the enemy, but they said there was no water there. Don't learn from Ma Su's failure to defeat Jieting."
Xiang Chu said bitterly: "What nonsense!"
Qian Fu warned: "General! The Japanese have begun to cross the river."
Xiang Chu looked at the other side of the river and saw the Japanese soldiers rushing into the Nujiang River.
In the absence of any troops blocking their way, they swam very fast.
Captain Bai shook his head and said, "If we let these devils come ashore, it won't be so easy to destroy them again."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "If we let the devils go up the mountain, it will be even more troublesome. But we have no bullets. Do we really have to fight the devils hand-to-hand?"
Xiaoliu ran into the command post carrying a backpack and said happily, "Boss! We collected tens of thousands of bullets on the highway."
Xiang Chu was overjoyed and ordered: "Hurry up and distribute the bullets to stop the devils!"
Xiao Liu smiled and said, "Boss! I've already distributed them. These are universal bullets for your sniper rifle."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Good! Excellent. Blow the whistle! Kill the devils."
"Yes!"
Xiaoliu hurriedly took the order, ran out of the command post, and blew the attack whistle.
Captain Bai said anxiously, "Sir! Your shooting is accurate. We and the engineers will help you pick up the bullets."
Xiang Chu said with emotion: "Thank you for your help!"
"Da-da! Da-da-da!"
The sound of light machine gun fire rang out.
The shadow spies have begun to stop the Japanese.
Xiang Chu loaded his sniper rifle with bullets, picked up his backpack and rushed out of the command post.
There was constant gunfire on both sides of the strait, with enemies and us shooting at each other.
The Japanese were soon shocked by the accuracy of the Chinese soldiers' shooting skills.
Any Japanese soldier who showed up within the range would be shot dead.
All the Japanese soldiers who crossed the river became sitting ducks.
The Japanese army's attempt to sneak across the Nujiang River failed again.
On the other side of the river, the command post of the Japanese 56th Division.
Sakaguchi Taro was furious and shouted, "Bombard the mountains opposite and let these elite Chinese soldiers feel the effects of the imperial artillery shells."
Doihara Kan'er advised, "Sakaguchi-kun! The Empire's artillery can't reach those elite Chinese troops. Moreover, if they bombard the mountains, huge rocks will roll onto the Burma Road, causing great trouble for the Empire's subsequent march."
Sakaguchi Taro nodded and said, "You are right. Besides, our army has run out of ammunition and cannot bombard."
Doihara Xian'er said angrily, "You're still bombarding without any shells? Are you a fool to try to trick this general?"
Sakaguchi Taro was furious and shouted, "You fool! You'd better get back to the 33rd Division and stop interfering in the affairs of our 56th Division."
Doihara Xian'er angrily shouted, "Just leave! Humph."
He walked out of the command post angrily and ordered:
"Yamada-kun! Division Commander Sakaguchi has ordered that the Honda Battalion follow the general. Go inform the Honda Battalion."
"Hello!"
Xiao Qi bowed and accepted the order.
In the mountains on the opposite bank is Xiang Chu's command post.
Xiang Chu ordered: "Fugui! Send a message to the Allied Command. Our army has once again defeated the Japanese who sneaked across the Nujiang River. I hope you can order the Xifeng Brigade to go up the mountain to stop the Japanese."
"Yes!"
Ma Fugui hurriedly accepted the order.
Zhang Fei rushed into the command post and said anxiously:
"Brother Xiang! The Xifeng Brigade has detained Old Liu, under the pretext of letting him observe the battle."
Xiang Chu asked doubtfully, "What battle are you watching?"
Zhang Fei smiled bitterly and said, "Not only are the Xifeng Brigade not going up the mountain, they are also going to cross the river to fight."
Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "This Xifeng Brigade Commander really won't cry until he sees the coffin!"
At this time, gunshots were heard from the river in the north.
Zhang Fei said anxiously: "The Xifeng Brigade has begun crossing the river to fight."
"Climb up high and take a look!"
Xiang Chu said hurriedly, hurriedly walked out of the command post, and climbed to a high place to observe.
Nearly 20 small boats full of Kuomintang soldiers rushed to the other side of the river while firing.
There was silence on the other side of the river, and there seemed to be no Japanese soldiers guarding it.
Zhang Fei asked with a smile, "Brother Xiang! Is the Xifeng Brigade about to successfully land?"
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "Successful landing? The Japanese soldiers are hiding in the mountains on the opposite bank and in the forests on the shore, waiting to seize their boats. Quickly notify the Xifeng Brigade and tell them to stop crossing the river, otherwise they will be giving the Japanese boats. Also, release Lao Liu to me, otherwise I will report him to the Supreme Command immediately."
"Yes!"
Zhang Fei hurriedly took the order and rushed back to the command center.
20 small boats quickly approached the west bank of the Nujiang River.
Just as they were about to go ashore, the Japanese shouted and killed.
"Da-da! Da-da-da!"
The sounds of dozens of light and heavy machine guns rang out.
The Japs in the mountains and forests attacked frantically.
The officers and soldiers of the Xifeng Brigade on the small boat fought back desperately.
However, they had difficulty in maneuvering and were shot and killed one after another.
Xiang Chu shook his head and returned to the command post.
Zhang Fei hurriedly reported, "Brother Xiang! The Xifeng Brigade neither listened to your advice nor released Old Liu. Their brigade commander asked you to come over and have a discussion with you."
Xiang Chu sneered, "Want to argue with me? Let's go! I'm going to meet this brigade commander."
Zhang Fei said anxiously, "Brother Xiang! You can't go. If you go, you will be killed by him."
