Songhu: Never Give Up

Chapter 64: First Meeting with Fox General (Seeking Follow-up Reading)

"Bakayaluo, you coward! You're dead!"

Major Kasahara drew out his ancestral sword and viciously chopped a fleeing Japanese soldier in half, then chopped at another one.

Unfortunately, the defeat was like a landslide. He alone could not stop the fleeing troops that were rolling over like a tide. The ancient Chinese ancestors had a ancestral teaching that stopping the fleeing troops was like stopping a flood.

Not only did Major Kasahara refuse to believe it, he also waved his knife at them. As a result, the Japanese were not polite to him either. Someone was so naive that he stabbed him with a bayonet. In the end, he didn't even take his gun away.

He could hardly believe that there would be a rogue soldier who would attack him, and fell to the ground unwillingly. Instantly, a big foot stepped on his face, followed by a pair of stinky feet...

I don't know how many defeated soldiers stepped on his face, his whole face was trampled into pieces. Even if his mother came, she wouldn't recognize him. The same goes for Amaterasu. So he would not accept the souls of such devils.

The soldiers of the Second Battalion continued to chase and kill the fleeing Japanese soldiers until dawn. When a red sun rose from the sea level, the battlefield returned to peace.

Liao Jianping could hardly believe his eyes. This battle was won too easily. He barely had to put in any effort before the Japanese were defeated. Then he had to chase down the remaining enemies.

The Japanese did not organize a decent resistance from beginning to end. The casualties of the Second Battalion did not exceed double digits, while hundreds of Japanese were annihilated.

Before this, let alone believing it, I didn’t even dare to think about it!

"Old Yue, is this the end? This is too easy!"

"You still think it's easy? You used up 144 of my rockets. You really don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are. You could have saved one round of shells. You are a bunch of prodigal sons."

Liao Jianping also felt that it was a bit of a waste, but it was Lao Yue who had told Captain Li not to be stingy with the shells. He wondered how come this guy changed his attitude faster than turning the pages of a book?
"Old Yue, you were the one who gave the order to fire two rounds. This is not Li Boxi's fault."

Yue Qianli immediately frowned and said:
"You mean I'm to blame?"

Liao Jianping shook his head like a rattle, and then said:

"Strange devil!"

"Yes! It's because the Japs are so damn vulnerable."

Liao Jianping thought for a moment and added another sentence. Yue Qianli smiled and said:
"That's more like it. I didn't expect the devils from the 11th Division to be so weak.

Forget it, it's wasted, but you have to remind me to save more in the future. It's not easy for the technicians of the baggage team to make a shell. It's made entirely by hand, so we can't afford to waste it."

After hearing this, Liao Jianping felt a chill in his heart. He was really a man who could make things happen at will. He could be anything and do anything at will. Only someone with such a thick face could be the battalion commander. It was not unfair for him to be the deputy.

"Old Yue, you are right. It's my fault for not reminding you. I will change it in the future!"

Yue Qianli then patted his shoulder with satisfaction and said:

"That's right. Next time, you must remind me to quickly organize the troops to clean up the battlefield.

Remember to hide the rocket launcher and tell your brothers to keep their mouths shut. When friendly forces come to take over the defense, just say that we fought a bloody night to capture it.

The 11th Division is famous for its tyranny. If they knew about the rocket launcher, they might just requisition it directly. "

Liao Jianping agreed deeply. Who doesn't want good things? A division commander is not someone they can afford to offend. After seeing the power of rocket launchers, Liao Jianping regarded them as his own wives. No one could covet them. The hatred of stealing someone else's wife is irreconcilable!
Under Liao Jianping's personal supervision, the Second Battalion cleaned up the battlefield very quickly and thoroughly. Not only did they bury all the Japanese corpses, but the iron pieces were also picked up and taken away by the soldiers for the baggage team to recycle.

The captured equipment was also collected together, piling up like a mountain. There were hundreds of long and short guns alone, and the most rare thing was that two infantry cannons were captured. The excited Liao Jianping shouted:
“Old Yue, I’ve made a fortune. Two infantry guns, three mortars, and more than a dozen boxes of shells;

We also seized seven Type 7 heavy machine guns, more than 500 long and short guns, and found more than 500 Japanese corpses, some of which were blown to pieces and have not been counted yet. "

After hearing this, Yue Qianli's face lit up with joy and he praised:

"Yes, this deal is not a loss after all. All infantry artillery will be handed over to the division headquarters, and we will keep the mortars. Two mortars are still too shabby. All other captured items will be handed over according to the rules."

Liao Jianping looked around cautiously and said:
"Old Yue, there are some good stuff. We also found a Japanese radio station and even the code book."

Yue Qianli's eyes lit up instantly, and then he said to him:
"We'll leave the radio here. Bring me the code book so I can study it carefully to see if I can find the pattern of the Japanese's coding.

This code book should also be submitted to the division headquarters. It may be useful to the front, especially the secret code department."

Liao Jianping handed the code book to Yue Qianli, and then went to deal with the spoils. Yue Qianli, on the other hand, was busy studying the Japanese code book.

Before traveling through time, he had specialized in radio communication and was an expert in this area. In addition, he was fluent in Japanese. With the help of the secret telegram book, he quickly figured out some of the enemy's coding patterns, which were indeed not much different from what he knew later in life.

This is equivalent to getting a master key. Even if the Japanese change the code, the code remains unchanged. Mastering the coding rules will help him decipher the Japanese's new code in the future.

At around eight o'clock in the morning, the vanguard regiment of the 11th Division arrived. They successfully took over Luodian from the Second Battalion. Luo Ying did not expect to meet another talented person, Hu Lian, the commander of the 66th Regiment who graduated from the fourth term. It was he who defended Luodian in another time and space.

Hu Lian also looked at the Second Battalion with new eyes. He excitedly shook Yue Qianli's hand and said:
"Brother Qianli, I have heard of your great name before. They say that Yue Qianli of the 88th Division is known as the Tiger of West Point. Today I see that you are indeed a dragon among men, a tiger general of our Huangpu."

Facing the fox general Hu Boyu who was "as fierce as a tiger and as cunning as a fox", Yue Qianli naturally kept a low profile. This was also the way for the National Government Army to survive. They could not be too high-profile, so he said modestly:
"Captain Hu, you are too kind. It's just an empty reputation. I am still far behind my senior."

Hu Lian immediately frowned and said:
"What do you mean by captain or not? It sounds strange. We are both comrades in the Whampoa Military Academy. I am a few years older than you. Just call me Brother Boyu."

Yue Qianli had no choice but to change his words and call him Brother Boyu. He still had to address him by his position in front of others. This showed his awareness, otherwise how could he "enter the ministry"?
"Brother Qianli, I heard that the Japanese occupied Luodian with a battalion of soldiers. Even if the staffing was not full, there were still 700 to 800 people. How did you take back Luodian in such a short time?

Talk to me, I want to learn from you."

Hu Lian was indeed a famous general who could fight well in the national army. After a few polite words, he asked about the business. Yue Qianli would not reveal the rocket launcher, but the fox general was as smart as a fox, so he said half-truthfully:

"The Japanese had just arrived and had not yet established a firm foothold. They only placed two guard teams on the periphery, one on the left and one on the right;
I first sent people to take out their guard post on the left wing at night, and then sent the first company and the machine gun company to sneak up on the Japanese position.

Taking advantage of the Japanese sleeping, they bombarded their headquarters, and luckily killed the Japanese captain on the spot.

Then we took advantage of the Japanese's confusion to launch a night attack and defeated them in one fell swoop. To be honest, our division commander was worried that one battalion would not be able to take them down, so he gave our brothers a few hundred more people. In fact, we had two battalions and six mortars. "

Hu Lian suddenly realized what was going on and thought to himself that it was actually a regiment, and that they relied on a night attack and artillery to destroy the Japanese command center. If that was the case, he was confident that he could defeat hundreds of confused Japanese.

"Brother, you are too modest. Even if a regiment defeated a battalion of Japanese soldiers in the middle of the night, killed hundreds of enemies, and seized hundreds of guns, such a feat would still attract people's attention. You are worthy of being my Huangpu hero!"
