Chapter 1494 Burning without worries
800 Chinese soldiers killed 3500 Japanese soldiers.
The Japanese soldiers in the 15th Army Command Post looked at each other in bewilderment.
Ushijima Hisao grabbed the intelligence officer and roared:
"Baga! What you said must be false information."
The Japanese intelligence officer shook his head and said, "Your Excellency, Chief of Staff! This is absolutely true. The Chinese Expeditionary Force rescued 7500 British and escaped our encirclement."
Ushijima Hisao pushed him away and sneered:
"The Chinese Expeditionary Force is a bunch of cowards. Based on a 1 to 6 casualty ratio, it would take at least 2 Chinese trash soldiers to compete with the Empire's 3500 elite troops.
Akita Haruka! Do you think this is fake information? "
Akita Haruka shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be false information."
Hisao Ushijima raised his hand and slapped Haruka Akita.
Xiang Chu grabbed his hand, threw it aside, and said angrily:
"Lieutenant General! The intelligence is true. Don't force people to deny it."
Ushijima Hisao roared in anger, "Captain Kage! How dare you stop this Chief of Staff from teaching his subordinates a lesson?"
Xiang Chu sneered, "Chunhe is my little brother who grew up under my care. How can I ignore you if you want to beat him up?"
Iijima Kōjiro was afraid that the two would quarrel, so he tried to persuade them:
"You two! For the empire's holy war, peace is the most important thing."
Ushijima Hisao didn't even buy his story and pointed at the junior officers and said:
"You said! The information that 3500 imperial elites were defeated by 800 Chinese soldiers is false."
The junior officers looked at each other, not daring to be the first to agree with him.
"Yes! It must be false information."
Doihara Kan'er's voice rang out, rushing in like a wall.
Ushijima Hisao stepped forward, shook his hand, and said gratefully:
"Xian'er! You are Shoufu's soulmate."
"It's enough to have one soulmate in life! Woohoo!"
Doihara Kanji showed his true feelings and hugged Ushijima Hisao tightly.
"How touching! Applause!"
Xiang Chu taunted him and clapped his hands playfully.
"As close as brothers! Haha!"
Iijima Kojiro echoed this and applauded enthusiastically.
Everyone applauded to ease the tense atmosphere.
Akita Harukzu also picked up his camera and took a picture.
Xiang Chu whispered, "Chunhe! Go find Nobi Saburo and have him report to headquarters immediately that Ushijima Hisao's poor command led to the disastrous defeat at Yenangyaung."
"Hello!"
Akita Haruka hurriedly accepted the order.
Now is the best time to bring down Ushijima Hisao.
Doihara Kenji said with a smile, "Hisao! My niece Lingzi went to the airport to pick up your nephew Wudi. They are a perfect match."
Ushijima Hisao said with satisfaction: "Yoshi! We will be relatives from now on."
Doihara Kan'er said warmly, "Marriage! Let's deal with the Kage Agency chief together."
Ushijima Hisao whispered, "And that old man Iijima, let's deal with him together."
Doihara Kenji glanced at Iijima Kōjiro and whispered in his ear:
"Yoshi! Let's die together with old man Iijima."
At this moment, a wounded sergeant rushed in, howling in tears:
"Commander! I escaped from Yenangyaung, and the other 3500 men are all dead."
"what?!"
Iijima Kōjiro exclaimed.
Doihara Kan'er hurriedly let go of Ushijima Hisao and hid as far away as possible.
Ushijima Hisao waved his hands and roared, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Xiang Chu sneered, "Ushijima Hisao! You gave reckless orders, missed an opportunity, and caused the British to be rescued by the Chinese Expeditionary Force, resulting in the loss of 3500 imperial warriors. You should honestly admit your guilt."
Ushijima Hisao was stung by his words. He rolled his eyes and pointed at Akita Haruka who had just entered the headquarters and said, "This is all directed by Operations Staff Officer Akita Haruka. This has nothing to do with this Chief of Staff."
Akita Haruka shook his head and said, "This staff officer is not at the Yangon command post. It has nothing to do with me."
Ushijima Hisao sneered, "If this Chief of Staff says you're involved, then you're involved. Don't try to quibble."
Xiang Chu took out a telegram and said with a smile: "Ushijima Hisao! The head of this agency has asked Commander Iijima for permission to let Akita Haruka come with me."
Iijima Kōjiro nodded and said, "The commander does agree."
At this time, the intelligence officer received the message and reported loudly:
"Commander-in-Chief! Headquarters has called to remove Ushijima Hisao from his position as Chief of Staff. I await your decision."
Ushijima Hisao fell to the ground and muttered to himself: "I, I was dismissed?"
"Bang!" There was a sound.
Doihara Kenji kicked him out of the command post and roared:
"I told you that you are not a good person. You dare to get close to me? You are looking for death!"
Xiang Chu and Iijima Kōjiro looked at each other, saying that they had never seen such a shameless person.
At this time, Iijima Kōjiro's attendant reported:
"Commander! The division and brigade commanders have arrived."
Iijima Kōjiro nodded and ordered, "Officer! Notify all attendees to start the meeting in the conference room in ten minutes."
"Hello!"
The attendant hurriedly accepted the order.
Doihara Kan'er walked towards Iijima Kōjiro and said with a smile:
"Commander! I greatly admire your talent. After the meeting, I will definitely go to your residence and have a long chat all night long."
"Do not have time!"
Iijima Kōjiro shook his head and walked out of the command center with his hands behind his back.
Doihara Xian'er felt bored and turned to walk towards Xiang Chu.
Xiang Chu pretended not to see him and hurried out of the command post.
Doihara Kan'er rushed out of the door, shouting:
"Captain of the Shadow Bureau! What are you so proud of?"
Xiang Chu waved his hands and shouted, "Go find your in-laws!"
Gan Rong stepped forward and whispered, "Chief! There's a message."
"Yeah! Let's talk in the car."
Xiang Chu nodded and got into the jeep.
Gan Rong took out the telegram and handed it to him, saying anxiously, "Tens of thousands of tons of supplies in Lashio have fallen into the hands of the Japanese. They told us to find a way to destroy them. But I just checked and there's a large group of Japanese soldiers guarding them."
Xiang Chu took the telegram, read it, lit the paper, and nodded.
"It's really difficult! Let me think of a solution, and don't act rashly."
"Hello!"
Gan Rong hurriedly accepted the order.
Xiang Chu got out of the car and walked into the meeting room.
Those who came were all Japanese generals, and they were all smiling because they had won a victory.
Xiang Chu's seat was very close to the front, next to Iijima Kojiro's seat.
There was a large plate of fruit in front of him, and he was treated like a VIP.
Doihara Kan'er sat in the corner, staring at him with jealous eyes.
Xiang Chu picked up a piece of durian and threw it to Doihara Xianer, saying with a smile:
"Xian'er! This fruit tastes just like you. Please eat it!"
Doihara Xianer slapped him away and shouted angrily: "Get out!"
The two men joked around, causing the Japanese generals to burst into laughter.
At the beginning of the meeting, Iijima Tsujiro got straight to the point and asked with a smile:
"Everyone! How should our army fight the Sino-British coalition forces in Mandalay?"
Doihara Kan'er rushed to speak: "Your Excellency, Commander! Our troops are willing to be the vanguard, making a circuitous move to split the Chinese and British forces in two, and then defeat them one by one."
The Japanese generals spoke enthusiastically, all wanting to be the first to take credit.
Seeing Xiang Chu was silent, Iijima Kōjiro asked with a smile:
"Captain of the Shadow Agency! What do you think?"
Xiang Chu, already scheming, pointed to the sand table and said, "If our army gathers in Mandalay, the Chinese army will definitely launch a surprise attack on Lashio. Lashio has a large amount of supplies seized by our army. If the Chinese army recaptures it, the loss will outweigh the gain."
Iijima Kōjiro nodded and said, "Yes! These supplies must not be left to the Chinese army."
Doihara Kan'er scoffed and said, "Captain Kage! Can't we burn the supplies first?"
Xiang Chu slammed the table and praised: "General Doihara! Your idea is very good. Those supplies are very important to the Chinese army, but they are useless to our army. We can burn them without any worries."
Doihara Kan'er said arrogantly, "Of course! This general loves killing and setting fires the most in his life."
Iijima Kōjiro hated Doihara Kan'er for following Ushijima Hisao, and ordered, "Captain Doihara! Take your men and burn it immediately."
"Hello!"
Doihara Kan'er gladly accepted the order.
