Songhu: Never Give Up

Chapter 141: Annihilation of the "Beast Alliance"

"Okumura-kun, why did the gunfire stop? Did the Kanazawa United repel the Chinese attack?
Is there any news about that bastard Okado?"

Lieutenant Colonel Okumura didn't know how to answer Major General Akiyama's series of questions. He was completely clueless and could only comfort Major General Akiyama:
"General, the combat effectiveness of the Seventh Regiment is one of the best in the Empire. Not to mention the 264th Brigade, even if the 88th Division participated in the battle, they would not be able to defeat the powerful Seventh Regiment.

The Chinese should be unable to fight. When the air warriors arrive, we can launch a counterattack. With the tank squadron leading the way, we can easily break the Chinese blockade and encircle and annihilate the Chinese together with the Seventh Regiment. "

This sounded good, and a smile finally appeared on Major General Akiyama's face. Although he was still nervous, they could not do anything before the air support arrived, but they could make preparations.

“Okumura-kun, according to the time calculation, the air warriors will arrive in half an hour at most. Order all troops to prepare for a counterattack;

The mountain artillery battalion and the tank squadron were responsible for tearing open the Chinese defense line. The Shinohara battalion accompanied the tank squadron in launching an attack, breaking through the Chinese defense line in one fell swoop, and attacking from both sides with the 7th Regiment, defeating the Chinese. "

After hearing this, Okumura was greatly encouraged, as if air support could solve everything, and he excitedly took the order and left.

At the 527th Regiment Headquarters, Yue Qianli was absent-mindedly staring at the map to kill time. Although he was confident in encircling and annihilating the th Regiment, the expression on his face betrayed him;

This is a regiment that is encircling and annihilating an entire permanent division. If you say you're not nervous, you're just pretending. Yue Qianli is just pretending.

When the communications staff officer Xu Puguang walked out of the secret telegram room, Yue Qianli's heart was in his throat. If it weren't for the need to maintain his composure as a general in the face of danger, he would have wanted to snatch the telegram from Xu Puguang's hand.

"Captain, good news from the front!"

When Yue Qianli heard that it was good news, he felt relieved. Under Duan Yaqin's expectant gaze, he calmly took the message and slowly read through it, pulling his eyes to the limit before praising:
"Well done, brothers. After two hours of fierce fighting, we have completely wiped out the Seventh Regiment and captured the regiment flag—"

There was a cheer in the headquarters. No one wanted to see him showing off anymore. They celebrated the victory with joy. This was the complete annihilation of the Seventh Regiment!

Duan Yaqin was so excited that she was writing a press release, leaving Yue Qianli aside. Someone was even thinking about hugging each other to celebrate this rare victory.
He remembered another time and space, when the Chinese national football team entered the World Cup. He was in his third year of high school that year. All his classmates were cheering and the class beauty was so happy that she gave him a blushing hug.

This is the correct way to celebrate. Duan Yaqin disappointed him so much - boring!
"Old Tian, ​​send a telegram to Li Jie and Liao Jianping immediately. Do not clean up the battlefield yet. Evacuate and hide immediately to prevent the Japanese from retaliating.

The first battalion continued to guard the headquarters building, while the second and third battalions prepared to encircle and annihilate the Akiyama Detachment, forcing it to abandon its heavy weapons and baggage and flee.

They are carrying the baggage of thousands of soldiers, we must not let them take it away smoothly!"

"Staff Officer Xu, draft a telegram to report the victory to the brigade!"

Yue Qianli never reported things to higher-ups. All his success reports were submitted through the brigade headquarters. He had only one statement: he had complete trust in the character of the brigade commander, Gao Zhisong.

The annihilation of the Seventh Regiment and the seizure of its flag was such a big piece of cake that there were too many people who wanted to share a piece, and Yue Qianli could not afford to offend them.
The Political Department, the Party Affairs Investigation Section of the Organization Department (also known as CC, the predecessor of the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics), the Blue Shirts Society Operations Department (Military Bureau of Investigation and Statistics), Army Commander Sun Yuanliang, etc., as long as they can write well, every department can get a piece of the pie.

Yue Qianli had not thought of eating alone. He had just been promoted to the head of the group, and the possibility of further promotion was very small. At most, he would be awarded medals and commendations. It would be better to use it as a favor. Duan Yaqin quickly wrote a press release with several hundred words. When Yue Qianli reviewed it, he crossed out most of it with a pen, leaving only a few dozen words, which made Duan Yaqin very angry.

On the contrary, when Lin'e reported the telegram to CC, Yue Qianli only crossed out two sentences and looked at Lin'e with admiration, thinking of poaching her.
He could roughly guess Lin E's true identity now. He could not catch a wolf without sacrificing a child. After dismissing everyone, he left Lin E alone and said to her:
"Lin'e, I really value your talent in secret messages. I hope you can stay in the 527th Regiment. I will find a way with the Central Bureau of Investigation."

After Yue Qianli finished speaking, he casually took out the confiscated code book and handed it to Lin E.

Lin E took it and looked at it, and was instantly moved. This was something she had always dreamed of. She was very confused as to why Yue Qianli gave her such an important thing.

With this code book, the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army would have saved countless lives, and the National Army would have benefited greatly as well.

She looked at Yue Qianli warily, wanting to know the answer. Yue Qianli said calmly:
"Don't look at me like that. I've already tried this code book before. It's thanks to it that I was able to completely wipe out the Seventh Regiment this time.
But over time, the Japanese will definitely change the password, but no matter how things change, they will still remain the same. With this aid, even if they change the password, it won't be difficult for you, right?"

Lin E nodded confidently, and Yue Qianli smiled and said:
"You should have seen that my 527th Regiment is really committed to fighting the Japanese. I need your talent to help me."

"Captain Yue, can I understand that this is your reward?

I'm just curious why you trust me so much, I'm CC."

Yue Qianli put away his smile and said:
"You can understand it any way you want. The 527th Regiment needs a professional cipher expert like you. I need to know the enemy's movements at all times so that I can win the battle.

Whether it's CC or the Blue Shirts Society, I trust you as long as you're not working for the devils."

Yue Qianli's words obviously couldn't convince Lin E, but the code book was enough to move her, so she agreed;
Just as she turned around and prepared to leave, Yue Qianli said something out of context:
"When I was studying at Huangpu, Instructor Qu was my first teacher."

Yue Qianli felt Lin E's footsteps pause, her body swayed a bit, and then she left the command center with firm steps.

Her union with Qu En was a very secret matter. She didn't know how Yue Qianli knew about it, but one thing was certain, Yue Qianli had no hostility towards her.
She even had a bold idea in her mind: maybe they were traveling together!
She was frightened by her own audacity, but she did not think it was ridiculous. Everything was possible, especially for Qu En's students.

From the moment she stepped out of the command center, she decided to stay and work in the 527th Regiment. She wanted to use her talents to help the 527th Regiment and Commander Yue better eliminate the Japanese. It didn't matter even if they were not her comrades, the most important thing was to be able to fight the Japanese.

After Lin E left, a smile appeared on Yue Qianli's lips. This secret electricity expert should not be able to escape. This time he used the small hoe very well.

The figure of Zheng Pingru popped up in his mind again. Since the Blue Shirts Society's secret service wanted to plant a spy in his army, it would be best if it was Zheng Pingru. By the way, he could poach her and perhaps avoid her tragic death at the hands of Wang Puppet's secret agents like in another time and space.

It turned out that Chapter 142 was released in advance, but it was blocked the next day. Later readers could not see it, so it was released again, causing many readers to buy twice. I would like to apologize here and try to avoid similar mistakes in the future.

A brother said that just an apology is not enough, and that an additional chapter should be added. If I get it, I will add an additional chapter. The most important thing is that the brothers enjoy reading it.
