Chapter 160: The Fool of the Landlord's Family

Sun Zhen watched Yu Hua, who was grinning incessantly.

He walked up and said, "What the hell are you grinning about, kid!"

"Hurry up and tell me, what schemes are you cooking up in that head of yours?"

"How are you planning to plot against the little devils?"

"Is it that obvious?" Yu Hua put on a very serious expression.

Division Commander Liu joked, "You've practically got the words 'I'm about to lure the devils into a pit' written all over your face."

Various units suffered heavy losses; the 2nd War Zone needs to treat the wounded immediately and replenish Weaponry and provisions.

"I suspect they've exaggerated a bit; it would be better if we verified it with Deng Xihou and Sun Zhen."

"Plus, we captured a large number of trucks in our ambush of the devils, which is perfect for towing these two artillery pieces."

"If the Sichuan Army's results in annihilating the 109th Division are true, I, Yan Laoxi, will put my word on the line here."

"How easy is it to annihilate a devil division!"

"Annihilating an entire division in a single night."

"Since this Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army has sent a victory report."

Yu Hua nodded, "That's right!"

"Now our Sichuan Army possesses a Mountain Artillery Regiment, and furthermore, we captured two Type 92 105mm Howitzers tonight."

Huang Shaohong and Yan Laoxi both received the telegram from the Sichuan Army at the same time.

The Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army is currently launching a counterattack tonight against the devils in the direction of Niangziguan.

"That means there will definitely be results tonight."

The results of the 22nd Group Army are true and reliable; they can withstand scrutiny.

Sun Zhen clapped his hands in delight: "Two Type 92 105mm Howitzers."

The results are certainly true, but they are likely inflated.

"Annihilating two brigades of the devil 109th Division tonight—isn't that a joke!"

"Do Deng Xihou and Sun Zhen take me, Yan Laoxi, for the fool of a landlord's family?"

"I also think he looks like a shy young bride right now."

Strive to clear out the devils south of Niangziguan before tomorrow morning.

The remaining troops of the Sichuan Army 122nd Division and 124th Division are immediately conducting a Rapid March toward Xishan Village.

At the same time!

Seeing Huang Shaohong speaking up for the Sichuan Army, Yan Laoxi snorted through his nose.

He looked at Yan Laoxi with a smile: "Baichuan!"

"Is this the thing you mentioned last time, the artillery that can fire eighteen kilometers?"

"In this battle, we will continue to use a Night Raid, making moves on the roads and hillsides."

Upon hearing Yan Laoxi say this, Huang Shaohong, though inwardly skeptical of these results, remained silent.

An Adjutant came in to report that Marshal Liu had sent a telegram from Jincheng.

"I will eat shit right in front of you all!"

She covered her mouth and laughed, "Mm!"

"They separately annihilated the devil 118th Brigade and 31st Brigade."

"Let him properly discipline this group of Sichuan Army soldiers who love to gossip."

Paired with the Type 92 105mm Howitzers, this artillery group will also give the Yamashita Tomoyuki Brigade a run for their money.

"You mean... we should dispatch troops to harass the devils' camp."

Xiao Ningxin, who was nearby, saw Deng Xihou call Yu Hua a shy young bride.

"Lure the devils out of their camp."

Regarding Yan Laoxi's words about eating shit, the corners of Huang Shaohong's mouth curled into a smile.

Upon hearing this, Huang Shaohong thought to himself: "The one who said they would eat shit last time was you."

"As long as the Sichuan Army's results are true."

"This Sichuan Army has such great capability!"

However, based on the performance of the 22nd Group Army, it shouldn't be that outrageous.

"Annihilated over twenty thousand enemies, captured a large amount of Weaponry and supplies."

"In my opinion, we should dispatch the remaining troops of the 122nd Division and 124th Division to Xishan Village."

"Hmph..." Yan Laoxi sneered, baring his teeth: "Ji Kuan!"

"This battle report is getting more and more outrageous!"

"Baichuan!"

How have these devils become like clay in the hands of the Sichuan Army?

Deng Xihou looked at Yu Hua, "Stop being so coy; you look exactly like a shy young bride."

"The 31st Brigade has already broken into the Sichuan Army's defensive line; the Sichuan Army should be in total chaos right now."

Yan Laoxi exhaled sharply through his nostrils, "Hmph..."

The 2nd War Zone received another telegram from Deng Xihou and Sun Zhen.

"Set an ambush halfway!"

Yu Hua reined in his smile, "Commander-in-Chief!"

Upon hearing about the Type 92 105mm Howitzers, Deng Xihou and Sun Zhen laughed as if it were New Year's.

After his last heated argument with Huang Shaohong, the Principal at the Nanjing Command...

Once this telegram arrived, Huang Shaohong felt that Deng Xihou and Sun Zhen had, in all likelihood, truly annihilated the 109th Division.

Yu Hua nodded, "Commander-in-Chief, you are quite right."

Huang Shaohong grinned broadly: "Baichuan!"

"Otherwise, Deng Xihou and Sun Zhen would never have sent a second telegram regarding the counter-offensive."

Plus 12 Schneider M1919 75mm Mountain Guns.

Total annihilation of the 109th Division might be incorrect; perhaps they surrounded and annihilated a certain Brigade of the 109th Division and routed the rest.

This gun can fire nine kilometers.

Just as Huang Shaohong had someone go to send an inquiry telegram.

Huang Shaohong has recently been in charge of Niangziguan, and the fighting there is going quite well.

The Heavy Artillery 10th Regiment in Principal's hands, with 24 German-made 150mm Heavy Artillery, only has a range of 15 kilometers.

He even specifically came to reprimand me; now that the war of resistance is in Jin Province, the Sichuan Army is still needed.

"The Sichuan Army in Jin Dong has created brilliance once again!"

After everything was prepared.

"This Deng Xihou, and Sun Zhen!"

Now that the Sichuan Army possesses two artillery pieces with an 18-kilometer range, how could this not make Deng Xihou and Sun Zhen excited.

"I estimate the Sichuan Army is just putting on a show; they likely only routed the 109th Division."

"I think the 109th Division was likely truly annihilated by the Sichuan Army."

2nd War Zone Headquarters.

Deng Xihou stroked his chin, recalling the usual tricks of that kid Yu Hua.

"You are still the one talking about eating shit now; you haven't even eaten the shit from last time yet, have you?"

He was speechless!

"Two Type 92 105mm Howitzers; these two guns can join the battle tonight."

Yan Laoxi felt as if he had eaten shit at this moment; he was extremely uncomfortable, and a look of confusion appeared in his eyes.

The Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army surrounded and annihilated the 109th Division at Shimen Village and Mashan Village.

The plan proposed by Yu Hua was approved.

Yan Laoxi cursed and swore for a while, then called for his Adjutant.

"A great victory... a great victory..."

The telegram read: "Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army, tonight at ten o'clock, at Shimen Village and Mashan Village."

Just as the two were in the office discussing the battle results of the 22nd Group Army.

"Then tell Marshal Liu."

Seeing Yan Laoxi's Adjutant about to leave, Huang Shaohong grinned and said: "Wait!"

This shouldn't be!

Since the Sichuan Army arrived in Jin Province, why have they become so brave?!

First they annihilated a Brigade, and now they have annihilated a Division.

"Go..."

"Send this telegram to Marshal Liu to take a look."

"My Jin-Sui Army, with over a hundred thousand soldiers, didn't achieve such great results even after bloody battles at Xinkou."

At the same time, the replies from Deng Xihou and Sun Zhen also arrived.

"Only a few hours have passed, and they actually annihilated the 109th Division."

"This is getting more and more outrageous!"

Yan Laoxi widened his eyes, and the heavy breathing through his nose grew even louder.

Yan Laoxi suppressed a trace of anger in his heart for the time being and nodded coldly.

His own elite Jin-Sui Army of over a hundred thousand, having fought bloody battles at the Xinkou Battlefield, suffered such heavy losses yet failed to achieve good results.

He had lost so much he was numb; his family fortune had been emptied.

Watching the Sichuan Army annihilate so many devils was even more uncomfortable than his own lack of money!
