Chapter 398: Don't Panic, I Have Confidence

"Brother Wang!" Yu Hua looked at Wang Mingzhang: "This 'Low-key Club' has deep roots; it's enough for our Sichuan Army to give them a warning now so this group knows who they're dealing with!"

"These guys are still cowering and licking their wounds; let's issue another statement to let them know it was our Sichuan Army who did it, so when they smear our Sichuan Army later, they'll also think about this bombing."

In the Hanyang area, many common people were also discussing this big explosion and who exactly was responsible.

The people of the 'Low-key Club' spent all day in Hanyang propagating pro-Japanese rhetoric, so many common people had no good feelings toward those who entered this club; now that it had been bombed, many of the common people were clapping and cheering.

Just as the common people were discussing it heatedly, the Ta Kung Pao in the Hanyang area published a statement from an organization called the Anti-Traitor Vanguard, claiming responsibility for the incident.

The Ta Kung Pao also introduced that the Anti-Traitor Vanguard was an organization spontaneously established by the Sichuan Province Patriotic Association, specifically targeting Traitors within the country and monitoring high-ranking officials who propagated pro-Japanese views.

Once this statement was published, the sales of the Ta Kung Pao doubled again.

"Brother Wang! The situation regarding the Japanese Army stopping their advance toward Teng County has been mostly figured out."

"You've arrived!" Sun Zhen greeted the two of them with a smile.

"Brother Yu, what about you? Do you have any thoughts?" Sun Zhen's gaze turned to Yu Hua.

Yu Hua looked at the Major: "Chongteng Qianqiu hasn't eaten for several days."

"Sigh..." Sun Zhen let out a long sigh: "This old devil accidentally overheard our soldiers chatting about holding a big meeting in Lincheng and preparing to present him as a witness before everyone."

After night fell, Yu Hua and Wang Mingzhang took a special train to Lincheng.

"Brother Yu! The warning our Sichuan Army gave this time must have scared the military and political bigwigs in Hankou to death."

"Let the people of the whole country take a good look at the battle results our Sichuan Army reported."

Yu Hua was a bit puzzled; when they were in Teng County, Chongteng Qianqiu hadn't been on a hunger strike. Although he ate little, he was still eating.

Subsequently, Yu Hua briefly explained the situation to Wang Mingzhang.

"Commander-in-Chief!" At this moment, a Major ran over in a panic.

"Our report this time is mainly aimed at the domestic audience, so we don't need any international influence, right?"

"What does the telegram say? Brother Yu." Seeing Yu Hua finish reading, Wang Mingzhang asked anxiously.

Yu Hua guessed that the Japanese Army's operational deployment should be about the same as in the original timeline!

After listening, Wang Mingzhang said, "Brother Yu, now that the Japanese are reinforcing their troops, and our Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army has so few forces, what should we do?"

"Brilliant!" Wang Mingzhang gave Yu Hua a thumbs up: "Truly brilliant!"

Wang Mingzhang waved his hand: "Commander-in-Chief, I have no objections."

A civilian organization, able to get their hands on so much high-grade Explosive, and able to calmly evacuate the Hanyang area, and even leave in the name of the authorities?

Now that the Sichuan Army in Teng County had only wiped out the Chongteng Detachment, the Imperial General Headquarters was already impatiently preparing to mobilize a large army to annihilate the Sichuan Army and the Republic of China Army in the Xuzhou area.

"Ah?" Wang Mingzhang was startled; he truly hadn't expected this, "Brother Yu, why did your wife invite these foreigners here?"

"Commander-in-Chief, I remember this old devil was still fine in Teng County; how come he started a hunger strike after arriving in Lincheng?"

"Commander-in-Chief, that old devil Chongteng Qianqiu still refuses to eat and is continuing his hunger strike. This old devil is jabbering on about wanting to die for the Emperor."

"Commander-in-Chief, tomorrow we must arrange for a few plants in the crowd to stir things up and make the atmosphere more lively."

"Brother Wang, don't panic about this for now; I have confidence in my heart. Let's head to Lincheng first."

Chen Qian patted his chest: "No problem, I guarantee I won't hold you back."

"Lao Chen!" Wang Mingzhang's gaze turned to Chen Qian, "After I leave, you will have full responsibility for the command of the troops."

Just as Yu Hua was about to speak, a Communications Soldier ran over: "Report!"

"Sit, sit, sit..." Sun Zhen gestured for the two to sit down, "Do you have any additions to the report plan for tomorrow?"

When Yu Hua and Wang Mingzhang were about to come to Lincheng, Sun Zhen had already contacted them by telegram regarding the detailed plan for the Sichuan Army's report in Lincheng tomorrow.

A few hours later, the train stopped in Lincheng. Wang Mingzhang and Yu Hua got off the train and headed straight for the headquarters of the 22nd Group Army.

When Dai Chunfeng and Qian Dajun received this statement, the two looked at each other and smiled.

"Two days!" the Major replied.

Sun Zhen clapped his hands and said: "Fine, follow your idea. Anyway, with you providing strategies for our Sichuan Army, everything is steady."

"So panicked, what happened?" Sun Zhen frowned slightly.

Yu Hua himself hadn't expected that his annihilation of the Chongteng Detachment and the Yamashita Regiment in Teng County would make the Japanese so cautious that they would actually want to mobilize a large army to surround and annihilate the Sichuan Army and the main force of the Republic of China Army in the Xuzhou area.

Seeing Wang Mingzhang say this, Yu Hua patted Wang Mingzhang on the shoulder: "Brother, you don't understand this, do you?"

A civilian organization, spontaneously established? Is this Sichuan Army trying to fool ghosts?

On the streets of the city, Wang Mingzhang discovered that some blond-haired and blue-eyed foreigners had also arrived.

"Brother Yu, are these foreigners also here to watch our Sichuan Army's report tomorrow?"

Yu Hua and Wang Mingzhang saluted Sun Zhen: "Greetings, Commander-in-Chief!"

Yu Hua stated his thoughts; he had previously looked at the report plan for tomorrow and felt it was a bit monotonous.

"Fine!" Wang Mingzhang nodded, "Let's take the train tonight."

Hearing this, Yu Hua nodded: "Most of these people were invited by my wife!"

The two chatted in the car and soon arrived at the 22nd Group Army headquarters.

A civilian organization has such great capability? Dai Chunfeng and Qian Dajun certainly didn't believe this.

You must know that in the original timeline, Li Delin commanded the Sun Lianzhong Group Army and the Sichuan Army to achieve the Taierzhuang Victory, and only after the Segaya Detachment was crippled did the Japanese decide to concentrate six or seven divisions to wipe out the Republic of China Army in the Fifth War Zone in one fell swoop.

The bigwigs at the Nanjing Command in Hankou were all clear in their hearts now that this was a warning given by the Sichuan Army.

"For this reason, I even scolded those soldiers who were chatting. If it weren't for them, this old devil wouldn't be like this now. He has wounds on his body, and now that he isn't eating, he's already lying on the bed; I estimate he won't live much longer."

"Division Commander, Chief of Staff, a telegram has come from the Revival Office personnel lurking in the Pingjin Region."

Wang Mingzhang in Teng County, seeing this statement published, felt great, as the people at the Nanjing Command didn't say much else.

After getting off the train, Yu Hua and Wang Mingzhang, led by guards, came before Sun Zhen.

"Oh!" Yu Hua walked forward and took the telegram.

It seems the combat power displayed by the Sichuan Army has already caused great shock to the Japanese, forcing them to be cautious in dealing with the subsequent war situation.

"After he learned of this news, he began a hunger strike to apologize with his death!"

After Principal Chang learned of this, he also cursed 'mother-fucker' in his heart; the Sichuan Army was trying to hoodwink him.

"With this foreigner present, it will save some people in the country from getting anxious and messing things up tomorrow; as long as the foreign master is here, anyone wanting to stir up trouble will have to weigh the consequences."

This Chongteng Qianqiu is an important character for tomorrow! Sun Zhen ordered the Major: "Even if you have to force-feed him, you must preserve this old devil's life for me first."

"Yes!" the Major nodded, "I will go now."
