Chapter 133: National Heated Debate

The Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army sent an open telegram.

Many people across the country knew about this telegram.

Whether it was the Central Army or the Jin-Sui Army, everyone also knew that Deng Xihou was challenging the 109th Division to a battle.

After Yamaoka Shigeatsu of the 109th Division received this telegram.

He was absolutely furious.

Principal Chang of Jinling looked at Dai Chunfeng before him.

"This Sichuan Army, they have quite a lot of nerve!"

Once this telegram was released, Wei Lihuang, Huang Shaohong, Yan Laoxi, and others all read it immediately.

A division of over twenty thousand men, plus an Artillery Regiment, and on top of that, the devils' aircraft dominating Jin Province.

"Since this Sichuan Army has issued a challenge, then let them fight."

In the 2nd War Zone and the 1st War Zone, many Republic of China generals were also tracking this matter in real time.

For a Sichuan Army group army to go up against a devil division, that was definitely going to end in a loss.

This telegram from Yamaoka Shigeatsu was also sent in plain code.

This was a bit like the hot news of later generations, causing the public across the country to watch the spectacle.

The little devils were provoked by the Republic of China Army, and their troops were already struggling to hold on under the devils' assault.

Marshal Liu was very angry, but this telegram had already been sent in plain code.

However, this time the 109th Division did not reply.

Marshal Liu directly had his Adjutant draft a telegram for him, and this time, it was sent in plain code in the name of the Commander of the Sichuan Army.

The little devils were being far too overbearing.

"This is the fate of the Sichuan Army for angering the Imperial Army."

"My Imperial Army will absolutely not let you off; I will personally cut off both of your heads."

"Hurry and reply to the devils."

"Principal!"

"Notify me the moment there is news."

If Deng Xihou and Sun Zhen were in front of him, Marshal Liu would have to give them a sound scolding.

At the Xinkou Battlefield, Itagaki Seishiro launched several charges against Wei Lihuang's positions.

"Deng Xihou and Sun Zhen, you two remember this, from this moment on."

This also gave the armies on both sides, who were in the midst of a bitter struggle, a sudden source of spiritual sustenance.

"Yamaoka Shigeatsu, you old devil, you are truly barbaric."

"What about the Sichuan Army?"

"I don't think he is a brainless person at all; he must have a foolproof strategy to deal with the enemy."

Neither side would give an inch!

Once the 22nd Group Army was crushed by the devils' 109th Division in Jin Province.

"Let you know that the consequence of provoking the Imperial Army is just this."

"Even in a war of words, my Sichuan Army must be tough."

Yamaoka Shigeatsu, in his command post.

"Since that is the case, our headquarters will also send a telegram to the Sichuan Army."

After Dai Chunfeng finished speaking, Principal Chang nodded.

Marshal Liu sent this open telegram.

"Back in the Tang Dynasty, I already taught you to be civilized."

Many foreign media outlets were reporting on this incredible phenomenon.

The Third War Zone!

Everyone's spirits were also lifted.

The Adjutant gave a bitter smile, "Commander, there is none for the moment."

"You are just a beast that hasn't fully evolved; every word out of your mouth is about crushing bones and drinking blood dry."

"Cut off the retreat of the defenders in the direction of Niangziguan."

"Hmm!"

To actually challenge a devil division to a battle, isn't this like throwing an egg against a rock!

"Hurry and come to Donghui Town, Daddy will teach you again."

The one sending the open telegram was the devils' Pingjin Area Army.

The little devils were also pushed to the limit by the provocations of the Republic of China Army.

"A group army, clamoring against a devil division."

After finishing it in one go, Yu Hua had the Sichuan Army Communications Soldier send it immediately.

Huang Shaohong also had his Adjutant keep a constant watch for the Sichuan Army's reply telegram.

It wasn't just Huang Shaohong and Wei Lihuang; even Yan Laoxi began to pay attention to this matter.

The Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army challenged the devils' 109th Division to a battle, both sides sending open telegrams.

Yu Hua dropped this sentence and immediately picked up his pen to write.

"Little devil, don't you be fierce!"

Everyone's eyes fell upon Yu Hua.

"Is there a reply telegram from them?"

Sichuan Province, Jincheng!

Marshal Liu received the telegram handed over by his Adjutant, seeing Deng Xihou and Sun Zhen.

Suddenly, both the Chinese and Japanese sides began open-code telegraphing, engaging in a war of insults.

"Little devils, if you have the ability, lead your great army to my Sichuan Province and try attacking my Sichuan Army at the first opportunity."

"We will chew your bones to pieces and drink your fresh blood dry."

"Just wait!"

"Your grandfathers of the Sichuan Army are not afraid of you at all."

Everyone was discussing this matter.

Marshal Liu's telegram also indicated the stance of the Sichuan Army.

"Furthermore, from now on, on the Zhongtu battlefield, the Imperial Army will strike any Sichuan Army that appears at the first opportunity."

"The Sichuan Army will pay the price for this."

The people of the whole country knew about it, and it was already impossible to turn back.

"The Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army is already a thorn in the side of the Imperial Army."

"My more than three hundred thousand Sichuan Army troops will fight to the end!"

This matter suddenly became a national hot topic, and many members of the public began to discuss it.

Everyone now had a sense of urgency, wanting to see how the devil 109th Division would reply.

Such high-rising public opinion suddenly caused many local high-ranking officials to also issue letters of challenge to the devils one after another.

"Deng Xihou has the nickname of Crystal Monkey within Sichuan Province."

The national public's discussion of the Sichuan Army suddenly reached its peak.

The headquarters of Huang Shaohong of the 2nd War Zone was the same.

On the Shandong Battlefield, Han Fuqu was in for bad luck.

Wei Lihuang asked his Adjutant: "Did the devils respond?"

"The overestimating Republic of China Army is not a match for the Imperial Army at all."

Li Delin of the Guangxi Clique, Long Yun and Lu Han of the Yunnan Army, Yu Hanmou of the Guangdong Army, the Three Mas of the Northwest frontier, and Sheng Shicai of Xinjiang.

The Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army was simply humiliating him.

In the headquarters of the 22nd Group Army.

"We of the Sichuan Army cannot be cowards."

At present, both sides were fighting and simultaneously sending open-code telegrams to wage a war of insults.

"Tell the Sichuan Army to hold their positions firmly; they must absolutely not let the 109th Division advance westward."

On the Niangziguan Battlefield, the troops of Sun Lianzhong and Ceng Wanzhong also suffered the impact of the little devils' 20th Division.

Everyone's interest was suddenly hooked by the Sichuan Army and the devil 109th Division.

"Deng Xihou, Sun Zhen, you two shameless scoundrels."

After reading Yamaoka Shigeatsu's telegram, Deng Xihou, Sun Zhen, Wang Zhizhong, and others grinned and said: "Star of Literature."

Regarding the actions of the Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army, Principal Chang felt neither joy nor sorrow in his heart.

Chen Cixiu and others saw the 109th Division's response.

The first open-code telegram was sent by Yu Hua.

Wei Lihuang's headquarters on the Xinkou Battlefield.

He was so angry that he used his Command Sword to slash around wildly.

The little devil 109th Division replied, which made many armies across the country, as well as political circles, news media, and even foreigners.

On the Songhu Battlefield, the old devil Matsui Iwane also ordered various divisions to charge at the positions of the Republic of China Army.

"Currently, the flames of war have not burned to Sichuan Province at all; my Sichuan Army took the initiative to leave Sichuan to resist the war."

For Marshal Liu, that was a blow to his vitality.

He had the Communications Soldier draft a telegram as well.

"Wash your necks clean and wait at Donghui Town; you have repeatedly provoked the Imperial Army."

Once this telegram came out, Marshal Liu was furious.

"My Sichuan Army has left Sichuan to resist the war; until the Japanese invaders are eliminated, we will never return to Sichuan."

After all, Marshal Liu was currently the recognized commander of the Sichuan Army.

"You unfilial son, you haven't listened to a single word your father said."

Such a spectacle also astonished some foreigners.

Now that the devils were attacking fiercely again, the casualties of Han Fuqu's troops were even more severe.

After seeing that his troops' casualties were too severe, Han Fuqu directly ordered a retreat.
