Chapter 136: Prepared for You Long Ago

Jin Province!

At the 2nd War Zone headquarters, Yan Laoxi also saw the attention from all walks of society toward the Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army.

"These Sichuan rats, they've arrived in our Jin Province."

"When fighting the devils, how have they become so formidable?"

Yan Laoxi couldn't figure it out!

"Commander Yan, a call from Principal Chang!"

At this moment, Yan Laoxi's Adjutant stepped forward quickly.

But, the little devils' combat effectiveness was indeed formidable.

He had no time to spare troops right now.

Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army headquarters.

"Look, didn't it just come?"

Deng Xihou grinned: "Oh my... the sun has risen in the west."

The combat and material supplies in the Jin Province battlefield were all provided by his Arsenal.

Deng Xihou pointed at Yu Hua: "You kid, you're a total office-seeker."

Seeing Yu Hua so confident, Deng Xihou made his decision to follow Yu Hua's combat deployment to engage the 109th Division.

After everyone watched for a while, there was surprise, and also worry.

"The supplies of my Jin Province for decades are about to be exhausted!"

Yan Laoxi hoped these few armies could block the devils' fierce offensive.

"I will definitely fight the devils well, so that when the devils hear the name of my Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army, they will be scared out of their wits."

"Adjutant!"

He hoped that Kawakishi Bunzaburo's troops could dispatch a regiment to conduct a flanking maneuver against the Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army.

For the stingy Yan Laoxi, this was simply like cutting his own flesh.

"This Jin Province battlefield is burning through the wealth of my Jin Province people accumulated over decades."

Yu Hua issued combat orders to several regiments of the Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army.

Wang Zhizhong stepped forward: "Commander-in-Chief, the devils have mobilized."

"What plan, hurry up and let us see it."

"The Central Army and the Sichuan Army, in my Jin Province, eating my food and drinking my drink."

Everyone also agreed with Sun Zhen's words and nodded one after another.

The 18th Group Army and the Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army had also successively entered Jin.

Giving Deng Xihou one-third, Yan Laoxi felt he had already been generous enough.

He himself also drove a captured devil car, taking a Reinforced Battalion toward the direction of the devils' 109th Division.

Principal Chang was currently worried that Deng Xihou and Sun Zhen would leak the information that the Sichuan Army had not received supplies on the Jin Province battlefield.

"People from all walks of society are paying attention to this incident, and they even specifically asked me about the treatment of the Sichuan Army in Jin Province."

After all, the little devils' old tactic was to love conducting flanking maneuvers.

Sun Zhen interjected: "I reckon this must be our Sichuan Army arranging a battle with Yamaoka Shigeatsu."

A Staff Officer from the communications department appeared in the headquarters holding a telegram.

Right now, the Sichuan Army soldiers at Donghui Town had mostly mobilized.

"Deng Xihou and Sun Zhen will definitely threaten the headquarters just like the last time they changed equipment."

Walking up to Yu Hua, Deng Xihou removed Yu Hua's Captain collar insignia.

On the Xinkou Battlefield alone, the ten artillery regiments deployed by Yan Laoxi simply could not block the devils' artillery fire.

"I have long since prepared it."

The grumbling Yan Laoxi headed toward the communications department.

"If we treat the Sichuan Army poorly in terms of Weaponry."

"Now the people of the whole country are watching the Sichuan Army."

He handed the papers to Deng Xihou, Sun Zhen, and the others.

"I told you, if you don't take the initiative to promote him, this kid will find an opportunity to bring it up himself."

Sun Zhen laughed: "Old Deng, I already told you."

"Judging from the devils' marching speed, it won't take two days before we collide with the devils' 109th Division."

"What is this Chang Kaishen calling me for again now?"

With so many armies entering Jin, the supplies Yan Laoxi had stored were being consumed very quickly.

While the Sichuan Army was actively preparing for battle, the 109th Division also had Kawakishi Bunzaburo's 20th Division cooperate.

"This Chang Kaishen, his wishful thinking is quite good."

Yu Hua took a stack of papers out of his briefcase.

Upon hearing this, Yan Laoxi nodded: "Principal Chang, I understand."

After obtaining Deng Xihou's permission.

"That is excellent!" Principal Chang was very satisfied.

"Yan Laoxi is afraid we will spill the beans, so he is forced to give a little bit of supplies."

"The stingy Yan Laoxi is actually taking the initiative to send supplies to our Sichuan Army this time."

Deng Xihou lifted the red square cloth, and Major collar insignia were neatly arranged on the tray.

Wang Zhizhong walked in from outside, "Commander-in-Chief, Deputy Commander-in-Chief."

Yan Laoxi felt extremely displeased inside.

Yu Hua saw everyone looking at him, so he scratched his head and grinned, saying, "Commander-in-Chief."

Upon seeing this, Yu Hua's eyes lit up.

"About the matter of my promotion you mentioned last time... what do you think..."

The Garrison Independent Mixed Brigade dispatched by the Pingjin Area Army, led by Yamashita Tomoyuki, had already arrived at Niangziguan.

Soon, Deng Xihou's Adjutant appeared in the command post carrying a tray.

Deng Xihou turned his head to look at Yu Hua: "This still remains to be seen, depending on how our 'Adjutant Yu' plans to organize it."

"You must be very attentive regarding the supply of materials."

After finishing his scolding, Yan Laoxi returned to his office.

Yu Hua saluted Deng Xihou, Sun Zhen, Wang Zhizhong, and the others.

"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief!"

"Adjutant, draft a telegram to the Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army to replenish one-third of their supplies."

"I will certainly arrange this Weaponry as soon as possible."

"I still have many things to handle in a while."

"Commander, regarding the battle plan for this time."

Relying on the troops in his own hands, Yan Laoxi was simply unable to block the devils' offensive.

Having no other choice, Yan Laoxi had no choice but to agree to Chang Kaishen's request for Wei Lihuang's Central Army to enter Jin Province.

"Principal Chang, the situation on the Jin Province Battlefield is urgent; if you have important matters, just say them directly."

"If we follow my combat deployment, one of our Group Armies will confront one Division of the devils."

"The Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army has tens of thousands of men, and I, the 2nd War Zone, will supply the materials."

Deng Xihou looked at Yu Hua: "I've had it prepared for you for a long time!"

Kawakishi Bunzaburo's troops were currently locked in a stalemate at Niangziguan and Jiuguan with the troops of Sun Lianzhong and Ceng Wanzhong.

"How should we fight this battle next?"

"This kid Yu Hua is just a careerist."

Expose it to the people of the whole country.

After hanging up the phone, Yan Laoxi's expression tightened.

The tray was covered with a red square cloth.

Chang Kaishen had never provided any supplies to Jin Province at all.

Yu Hua patted his chest and said: "Commander-in-Chief, you can rest assured."

After Sun Zhen and Deng Xihou finished reading the telegram, they came to the map.

Then they attached the Major's collar insignia onto Yu Hua.

"Commander-in-Chief, Deputy Commander-in-Chief!"

"The devils' 109th Division has already set out from Ceyu Town."

Chang Kaishen said hurriedly: "Baichuan, Deng Xihou's 22nd Group Army."

Just as Kawakishi Bunzaburo was about to reject Yamaoka Shigeatsu's proposal.

"This time, the Sichuan Army is actually going to engage the little devils' 109th Division in battle."

"Even if we can't annihilate them completely, we can still cripple them."

"That stingy landlord Yan Laoxi has now allocated one-third of the supplies to my Sichuan Army."

Deng Xihou looked at Yu Hua: "Following your current method, will doing this be effective?"

With this fresh force, Kawakishi Bunzaburo felt very happy inside.

This also brought a glimmer of possibility to breaking the stalemate at Niangziguan.
