Chapter 387: Time to be Satisfied

Li Delin called the Sichuan Army command post in Lincheng, only to learn that Sun Zhen himself was not there, having already headed to Teng County.

He had no choice but to have the operator transfer the call to Teng County, but unfortunately, the telephone line from Lincheng to Teng County had been blown apart by Japanese Army aircraft, making a transfer impossible.

This infuriated Li Delin, so he had a Communications Soldier send a telegram to the 22nd Group Army, and at the same time, sent a telegram to the Second Route Army Command in Sichuan Province.

He hoped the Second Route Army Command had reports from the Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army; after all, the Sichuan Army now had autonomous operational authority, and some campaign planning and the like were prioritized to be known by people like Deng Xihou and Pan Wenhua.

Teng County!

The Sichuan Army communications department was bombarded by Japanese Army Heavy Artillery, and at this moment, Sun Zhen and the others were relocating, searching for a new command post.

Within the Segaya Detachment, Sonoda Meiling, in order to deal with the Sichuan Army, dispatched a radio reconnaissance squad specifically to detect the signal frequencies of Sichuan Army radios.

The publication of this speech directly shocked the Republic of China, and even the world.

Yu Hua looked at Sun Zhen: "Brother Sun, tonight, we annihilated one Japanese Army regiment and one Chongteng Detachment."

"The battle results are quite bountiful; we should be satisfied!"

The high-ranking officials of the Nanjing Command also urgently attended the meeting convened by Lao Chang.

"Withdraw the troops now; once we are spotted by Japanese Army aircraft, our 22nd Group Army will be in big trouble."

Yu Hua organized the Sichuan Army troops again to launch a Mortar sneak attack on the Japanese Army Segaya Detachment, firing the first round of shells.

Ever since Sonoda Meiling analyzed the gathered data, she concluded that the Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army had sufficient radio configurations at the Division and Brigade levels.

For the upcoming battle, Segu Qi had to get enough rest.

Letting a villain like Dean Wang escape successfully had brought disgrace to his own honor as Supreme Commander.

"Anyway, this Teng County is a place the Japanese Army must pass through; we have plenty of time to fight the Japanese Army."

The Fifth War Zone Command communications department had not received a return telegram from the Sichuan Army for a long time; the Sichuan Army in Teng County seemed to have vanished, which scared Li Delin half to death.

"This Segu Qi—sooner or later, I will cut off his head."

"The Segaya Detachment must be locked in a struggle with us; it's so late, yet the devils' defenses remain so tight. It seems we won't be able to tear a piece of meat off the Segaya Detachment tonight."

Sichuan Army soldiers shouldered their Mortars and ran, and the Japanese Army's shells immediately landed; 75mm Mountain Guns and Field Guns, along with 105mm Howitzers, unleashed a covering counter-barrage.

She had specifically applied for radio signal frequency detection equipment to follow the Segaya Detachment's movements; tonight, the Sichuan Army had harassed the Segaya Detachment multiple times, with various units frequently sending telegrams to one location.

"There are only four hours left until dawn; once it becomes daytime and the Japanese Army aircraft arrive, we will completely become the weaker side."

They also sent telegrams to the Nanjing Command in Hankou, demanding severe punishment for this matter.

Now that the Imperial Aviation had arrived, Segu Qi could finally close his eyes and rest for a while; at the same time, Segu Qi also knew that the Imperial Fifth Division and the Sakamoto Detachment, plus a detachment under the Tenth Division, were closing in on Teng County, and he, Segu Qi, would join Itagaki Seishiro in annihilating the Sichuan Army troops here.

When the Japanese Army aircraft flew over the Segaya Detachment at daybreak, Segu Qi finally felt at ease.

The Sichuan Army units left the battlefield under alternating cover, taking the opportunity to strip the clothes off the fallen Japanese soldiers, leaving the devils with nothing but a Loincloth.

In the command post, Yu Hua put down his Telescope, "Division Commander Wang, Commander-in-Chief Sun."

When Deng Xihou and Pan Wenhua could not contact the Sichuan Army units, they did not feel much panic.

"... willing to cooperate with the new government to jointly build the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere."

"Sigh..." Sun Zhen let out a long sigh, "Listen to your boy, withdraw the troops!"

Wang Mingzhang's division headquarters continuously received and sent telegrams, and its massive signal frequency, like a tornado, attracted the attention of the radio reconnaissance squad within the Segaya Detachment.

Hankou!

Now the people across the country were also cursing Dean Wang, Feng Yuxiang, Yan Laoxi, as well as Li Delin, Bai Zhuge, Long Yun, and others.

This blinded many people's eyes; after all, Dean Wang was still an influential figure.

Fortunately, the Second Route Army Command replied that they did not know about the fighting in Teng County, but from the situation reported by Sun Zhen, the Sichuan Army units had achieved very good results.

At this very moment, he was closing in on Teng County, and he, Segu Qi, would join Itagaki Seishiro in annihilating the Sichuan Army troops here.

Dean Wang, as the person second only to Principal Chang in the Republic of China Government, had now slipped away to Jinling without anyone knowing, and had even established a puppet regime.

After Segu Qi learned of this, he didn't care if it was the Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army command post; since the radio signals were so frequent, it was definitely a command post, so he would just bombard it with Heavy Artillery first.

Everyone understood what was going on!

The gist of the speech delivered by Dean Wang in Jinling was that he was willing to cooperate with the Japanese Army to jointly build the New Order in East Asia, and at the same time restore peace within the country.

Sun Zhen laughed, "You're right, kid; tonight, my Sichuan Army won big anyway."

After analyzing it, they felt that the center of this "tornado" must be the nerve center of the Sichuan Army; as long as they could destroy it, it would certainly be of great help to the Imperial Army.

Regarding this kind of sudden situation, Yu Hua had previously formulated some regulations for the Sichuan Army, providing specific explanations for suddenly maintaining radio silence, what situations to encounter, when to maintain radio silence, and so on.

Although the little devils' Heavy Artillery could hit the 122nd Division's headquarters, the distance was truly a bit far, and the accuracy was still somewhat lacking.

What else could Dai Chunfeng say? He had to nod and guarantee that this was his dereliction of duty, while also stating that even if this scoundrel Dean Wang ran to the occupied areas, he would still dispatch agents to assassinate him.

Late at night!

Dean Wang's open defection and treason was a very serious blow to the National Government.

The first shell destroyed the antenna that the 122nd Division had set up outside; after Yu Hua discovered this, he immediately ordered a relocation.

At the same time, Deng Xihou also told Li Delin to set his mind at ease, as the Sichuan Army maintaining radio silence in Teng County was a form of self-protection.

At the same time, on this day, the Japanese Prime Minister Jinyi Wenmo issued a proclamation to the world:

"The Republic of China that the Imperial Army hopes for is one that shares the responsibility of building the New Order in East Asia;

If the National Government abandons its previous consistent policies, changes its personnel organization, achieves new results, and participates in the construction of the New Order, our side will not refuse;

Following the issuance of Yu Hua's withdrawal order, the troops besieging the Segaya Detachment also began to relocate to the designated mountainous areas.

Last night, he was truly a bit afraid that the Sichuan Army troops would launch a fierce attack, and he dared not sleep all night, fearing that if he rested for a moment, a major change would occur on the battlefield.

At first, everyone was confused by this proclamation, but immediately after, when Dean Wang, who had taken office in Jinling, delivered his speech...

At the meeting, Lao Chang first severely scolded Dai Chunfeng for not helping him guard the house.

Fortunately, everyone acted fast enough and did not cause a disaster; after reaching a safe area, Yu Hua had the communications department order every division and brigade-level unit to contact each other by telephone and keep the radios silent.

Subsequently, the Hankou meeting passed a unanimous vote to dismiss Dean Wang from all his posts.

With such a major mess occurring, Lao Chang was now in a very foul mood and ordered Li Delin to strike the little devils hard in the Fifth War Zone to wash away the shame and boost the confidence of the nation in the War of Resistance.
